The making and breaking of relationships: Organizational and clinical questions in providing services for looked after children?

The mental health of children in public care has received considerable attention in recent years. There are significant differences in the prevalence rates compared to children living at home and not in public care and these are added to by other adverse lifestyle issues. Considerable attention has been focused on the importance of stable and secure placements supported by access to a range of services including education, health and mental health. Identifying and classifying mental health needs proves to be challenging as the child’s genetic inheritance, pre- and post-birth experiences, including maltreatment, interact with the uncertainty and delays commonly associated with child protection processes, action in the legal system and the difficulty in establishing secure and permanent placements. Clinical need is also related to the age of the child and the reasons they came into care and the length of time they remain. A case illustrating many of these issues, publicly reported in the court’s judgement, is used as the basis for exploring the complexity for the identified child in understanding and making sense of their experiences as placement plans are made for them. These are used to explore the difficulties in establishing clinical protocols such as those recently published in the USA. Particular emphasis is given to the issues faced by children and their carers in establishing new family relationships which address the child’s inheritance from their family of origin especially where these are traumatic and conflicted in origin.
Children’s and parents’ posttraumatic stress reactions after the 2004 tsunami

This study examined the association between parents’ and children’s posttraumatic stress reactions after the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia in 2004. Parents of 319 Norwegian children and adolescents aged 6–18 years reported on children’s exposure to the tsunami and children’s immediate subjective responses. The Child Stress Disorder Checklist was used to measure children’s posttraumatic stress reactions 6–8 months after the tsunami, and the Impact of Event Scale Revised measured parental PTSD. Results indicated that parents’ posttraumatic stress reactions significantly predicted PTSD reactions in their children. The strongest association was found for parental intrusive reactions and hyperarousal. Highly exposed children seemed to be more vulnerable to parental distress compared to children with lower levels of exposure. The study demonstrates that parental distress can endure and worsen the impact of a disaster in children. In assessments of trauma-related consequences and in therapeutic work with children clinicians need to expand the focus to include their parents and family.
Maternal Diet, Breast Feeding and Infants' Growth

Four mothers and their infants living in a rural village of the Ivory Coast were studied for maternal diet, breast milk composition and volume and infants' growth over an 18 months' period. Two of the mothers were young, had a low calorie intake and gave little supplementary nourishment to their infants; these infants had an unsatisfactory growth pattern. Two mothers were middle-aged, had a satisfactory calorie intake and their infants thrived well on breast milk alone for the first 6 months. Supplements were introduced by those mothers after their infant was 6 months old which provided adequate energy and protein intake and had a beneficial effect on the growth of the infants. Detailed biochemical analyses of diets and breast milk have been performed and dietary allowances are discussed in the light of the present results. Despite important differences in dietary intake the milks produced by the four mothers showed no significant differences in biochemical composition. The mothers with low calorie and low protein intake produced however smaller quantities of breast milk when the infants were 4 to 7 months old. breast milk a substantial of protein and calories for the infants even in late lactation, implication to adequate growth of the infants to provide adequate dietary
A prospective study to determine the effect of cholecystectomy on common bile duct diameter in Indian population

Background and Aim: Though increase in the common bile duct (CBD) diameter has been attributed to previous cholecystectomy, this relationship continues to be controversial. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between cholecystectomy and change in CBD diameter, as measured by ultrasonography. Methods: A total of 50 cases (age, 44.0 ± 12.4 years; men, 8; women, 42) were admitted with symptomatic cholelithiasis and normal bile duct diameters. They underwent cholecystectomy, and the CBD diameter was measured by single diagnostician using ultrasonography at the widest point after full-length evaluation of CBD. Follow-up ultrasound at 2 months and 4 months postoperatively was done in all cases. Results: Mean preoperative CBD diameter observed was 5.12 ± 0.97 mm and mean postoperative CBD diameter observed at 2 months and 4 months interval were 6.79 ± 1.23 mm (32.61% increase; P < 0.0001) and 7.1 ± 1.28 mm (38.47% increase; P < 0.001), respectively. There was a rise in number of patients with CBD diameter of >6.5 mm from nil to 19 (38%) and 25 (50%) at 2 months and 4 months, respectively. CBD dilatation was observed to be age-dependent with mean postoperative diameter increase of 3.37 mm in patients with age >50 years. Conclusion: The present study confirms that the CBD dilates significantly after cholecystectomy. The postcholecystectomy, CBD diameter does not exceed 10 mm. Thus, a wider CBD following cholecystectomy may warrant further investigation to know the etiology.
Pseudocapacitive Sodium Storage in Mesoporous Single-Crystal-like TiO2-Graphene Nanocomposite Enables High-Performance Sodium-Ion Capacitors.

Sodium-ion capacitors can potentially combine the virtues of high power capability of conventional electrochemical capacitors and high energy density of batteries. However, the lack of high-performance electrode materials has been the major challenge of sodium-based energy storage devices. In this work, we report a microwave-assisted synthesis of single-crystal-like anatase TiO2 mesocages anchored on graphene as a sodium storage material. The architecture of the nanocomposite results in pseudocapacitive charge storage behavior with fast kinetics, high reversibility, and negligible degradation to the micro/nanostructure. The nanocomposite delivers a high capacity of 268 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, which remains 126 mAh g-1 at 10 C for over 18 000 cycles. Coupling with a carbon-based cathode, a full cell of sodium-ion capacitor successfully demonstrates a high energy density of 64.2 Wh kg-1 at 56.3 W kg-1 and 25.8 Wh kg-1 at 1357 W kg-1, as well as an ultralong lifespan of 10 000 cycles with over 90% of capacity retention.
Can #Twitter_Trends Predict Election Results? Evidence from 2014 Indian General Election

Extant literature finds that twitter trends can capture electoral sentiment. However, empirical evidences are ambiguous in nature. Thus, this study uses the context of 2014 Indian General Election to test the predictive power of Twitter in a large and politically diversified country. We have analyzed roughly 0.4 million tweets during the period March 15, 2014 to May 12, 2014. We observe that tweet volume as well as sentiment analysis can predict election results. We also find that sentiment scores can predict changes in vote share. We note that in a multi-party system the nationality of a party can be an important factor. However, these results should be interpreted with caution. We emphasize the relevance of contextual understanding for efficient data collection and analysis.
Parenteral Administration of Capsule Depolymerase EnvD Prevents Lethal Inhalation Anthrax Infection

ABSTRACT Left untreated, inhalation anthrax is usually fatal. Vegetative forms of Bacillus anthracis survive in blood and tissues during infection due to elaboration of a protective poly-γ-d-glutamic acid (PDGA) capsule that permits uncontrolled bacterial growth in vivo, eventually leading to overwhelming bacillosis and death. As a measure to counter threats from multidrug-resistant strains, we are evaluating the prophylactic and therapeutic potential of the PDGA depolymerase EnvD, a stable and potent enzyme which rapidly and selectively removes the capsule from the surface of vegetative cells. Repeated intravenous administration of 10 mg/kg recombinant EnvD (rEnvD) to mice infected with lethal doses of B. anthracis Ames spores by inhalation prevented the emergence of symptoms of anthrax and death; all animals survived the 5-day treatment period, and 70% survived to the end of the 14-day observation period. In contrast to results in sham-treated animals, the lungs and spleen of rEnvD-dosed animals were free of gross pathological changes. We conclude that rEnvD has potential as an agent to prevent the emergence of inhalation anthrax in infected animals and is likely to be effective against drug-resistant forms of the pathogen.
An International Survey of the Factors Influencing the Intention to Use Open Government

Governments worldwide engage in open government initiatives for making their data and related information available to the public. But the success of open government is contingent upon the public's willingness to use and exploit these data sets. Governments need to have a clear understanding of the factors impacting users' intentions to make use of their open government offerings. In this paper, we answer the following research question: What factors influence the intention to use open government services and offerings? We empirically analyze an online survey, which was administered in six countries in 2013 with over 6.000 valid responses. Our research model builds on TAM and UTAUT. The results of our analysis indicate that perceived advantage, perceived ease of use, geographical closeness of topic and political activity directly influence the intention to use open government. Trust of Internet and perceived risks appear to have no direct impact on open government usage.
A Single-Switch High Step-Up DC–DC Converter Based on Quadratic Boost

This paper proposes a novel high step-up nonisolated single switch dc-dc converter suitable for regulating dc bus in various microsources especially for photovoltaic (PV) sources. Quadratic boost and switched-capacitor technique are used as primary and secondary circuits, respectively. A coupled inductor is applied to make a connection between them, so a high dc voltage gain is achieved. High efficiency is yield where voltage stress on active switch is alleviated by clamped capacitor; consequently, smaller RDS(ON) for power switch is required. On the other hand, input current of the proposed converter is continued, hence stress on the input source is reduced. The operating principles and steady-state analyses are discussed in detail for both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. Also, the boundary condition is computed. To verify the performance of the proposed converter and theoretical calculations, a 250-W prototype converter is implemented with an input voltage of 24 V and an output voltage of 400 V designed especially for PV sources in continuous conduction mode operation. Finally, simulation results are confirmed by experimental results; maximum efficiency is occurred at 150 W and full-load efficiency is 92.96%.
Taming the Adolescent Mind: Preliminary report of a mindfulness-based psychological intervention for adolescents with clinical heterogeneous mental health diagnoses

Background: Mindfulness-based interventions such as Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MCBT) have been used to treat adults with psychiatric disorders. This article describes initial modification and development of a mindfulness-based intervention group program for adolescents with psychiatric disorders. It was hypothesized that the intervention would improve mindfulness, mental health outcomes and decrease psychological distress and symptoms. Method: Adolescents from a mental health clinic attended a 5-week group pilot mindfulness-based intervention. Adolescents and parents completed questionnaires at pre- and post-intervention and at 3-month follow-up. Baseline measures indicated moderate to severe range of mental health symptoms. Results: After the intervention, adolescents reported significant decreases in psychological distress and increases in mindfulness and self-esteem. Qualitative data revealed the intervention to be engaging and beneficial. Parents also reported significant overall improvements of adolescents’ functioning. Conclusions: These promising preliminary results suggest that the intervention was feasible, acceptable and offered positive impact on mental health problems, and the intervention warrants further research in a randomized controlled study.
Communicating a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder - a qualitative study of parents’ experiences

Not enough is known about parents’ experiences of receiving the news that their child warrants a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Sharing this information with parents is an important and difficult part of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) practice. Qualitative methodology was used to explore the experiences of the ‘feedback session’ with nine sets of parents in a community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in North East England. Parents gave vivid accounts of their experiences and described issues relating to the structure, style and content of the session. The experiences of CAMHS users should inform the development of good practice in this important area.
In Vitro Activity of Retapamulin and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns in a Longitudinal Collection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from a Veterans Affairs Medical Center

ABSTRACT Mupirocin is a topical antimicrobial used to decolonize patients who carry methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and the topical agent retapamulin may be a potential alternative therapy. The goal of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of retapamulin as well as a panel of 15 antimicrobial agents, including mupirocin, for 403 MRSA isolates collected longitudinally from a naive population at the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System. The MICs for retapamulin had a unimodal distribution, ranging from 0.008 to 0.5 μg/ml. One isolate had an MIC of >16 μg/ml, was also resistant to clindamycin and erythromycin, and was recovered from the nares of a patient undergoing hemodialysis. Twenty-four isolates (6%) and 11 isolates (3%) demonstrated low-level resistance (MICs of 8 to 64 μg/ml) and high-level resistance (MICs of ≥512 μg/ml), respectively, to mupirocin. Isolates were recovered from 10 patients both before and after mupirocin therapy. Of those, isolates from 2 patients demonstrated MIC changes postmupirocin therapy; in both cases, however, strain typing demonstrated that the pre- and postmupirocin strains were different. A total of 386 isolates (96%) had vancomycin MICs of ≤1.0 μg/ml; 340 isolates (84%) were resistant to levofloxacin, 18 isolates (4.5%) were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and 135 isolates (33%) had elevated MICs of 4 μg/ml for linezolid. The baseline levels of resistance were low for mupirocin (9%) and even lower for retapamulin (0.25%) Although the use of mupirocin is currently the standard therapy for decolonization practices, the activity of retapamulin warrants its consideration as an alternative therapy in MRSA decolonization regimens.
‘Me and my Bump’: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the experiences of pregnancy for vulnerable women

Eight pregnant women, considered to be ‘vulnerable’ due to exposure to a number of underlying risk factors, participated in semi-structured interviews regarding their experiences of pregnancy and of Mellow Bumps, a 6-week targeted antenatal intervention. Interview transcripts were explored using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The analysis revealed five superordinate themes: pregnancy as a time of reflection; the body being taken over; pregnancy as an emotional rollercoaster; relationships as important; separating identities. Pre- and post-natal attachment theories were found to be useful in interpreting the data. Findings suggest that pregnancy may be ‘normalising’ and provide an important opportunity for building more positive representations of the self. Findings also provide clinical support for the assertion that the attachment relationship begins before birth. The Mellow Bumps intervention was uniformly seen as helpful. It appeared to nurture prenatal attachment relationships, playing a potentially protective role, by helping to establish the foundations for secure mother–infant relationships in the future. Meeting similar women and engaging in ordinary, supportive conversation during Mellow Bumps seemed to reduce feelings of isolation and stigma. Implications for clinical practice are considered.
Quality Dimensions of the DeLone-McLean Model to Measure User Satisfaction: An Empirical Test on the Information Security Context

User satisfaction is the most widely measure used to assess information system success in Delone-McLean model. Using quality dimensions as antecedents to user satisfaction, this model is largely accepted in the information systems field. However, there are some contexts and relationships among variables that still unexplored in this model. In this sense, we proposed empirically measure user satisfaction using the quality dimensions of the Delone-McLean model on the information security context, and test the relationship among quality variables and user satisfaction variable. To do that, we performed a survey with 176 information system users about their satisfaction with information security practices. The results demonstrated that the information quality was positive associated with user satisfaction, the system quality was negative associated with user satisfaction, and the service quality was not associated with user satisfaction. The quality variables relationship presented positive relationship among them, unless when information quality pointed to service quality.
Success Factors of Agile Information Systems Development: A Qualitative Study

We conduct a qualitative, interview-based study with 12 participants in order to shed further light on the success factors of agile ISD because quantitative studies reported on contradictory results. First, we identify four success factors from previous literature that form the conceptual basis of our investigation. Those factors are the team, customer, organization, and communication. We extend previous findings by opening up the black box of each of those factors. This is achieved by identifying sub-factors that enable agile ISD success. We find that autonomy is the most important team characteristic, whereas agile values and management support are crucial for the organizational level. For the customer role, customer involvement is judged to be most important, and for communication, the meeting practices are the most frequently mentioned sub-factor. In contrast to the other categories, we note that sub-factors for the organizational level were mentioned by fewer participants.
The Role of IT Investment Consistency among the Enablers behind the Success of IT Deployment

For this study we analyzed the factors that influence organizational IT deployment success. First, we identified potential factors, then hypothesized about the relationships among the factors and then integrated the hypotheses into a research model. Finally, we empirically evaluated the hypotheses and the entire research model. Special attention was placed on the Business-IT alignment, IT management and consistency of IT investments in relation to the changes in the economy, which is a novel factor introduced in this study. We used survey data of 212 responses collected from CxOs during an economic recession. Empirical results confirmed that all research model factors impacted positively on IT deployment success. Especially, according to our findings, business-IT alignment and high quality IT management are needed to achieve consistency of IT investments, and when achieved, the impact is positive on success.
Analysis of How Underlying Topics in Financial News Affect Stock Prices Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation

Companies listed on the stock markets are typically obliged to publicly disclose any information that might have a significant influence on their stock prices. This transparency regulation is intended to ensure that all market participants have access to the same information. The corresponding press releases are one of the most reliable news sources concerning a company's operations. Interestingly, even though researcher have investigated the timing of releases, research has invested little effort into examining the underlying news topics. In this paper, we analyze the effects of topics found in such corporate press releases on stock market returns in the German market. We determine the topic of ad hoc announcements by using Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Effectively, we succeed in extracting 40 topics. As hypothesized, the effect of these topic groups differ greatly from each other. Some topics have no resulting effect on abnormal returns of stocks, whereas other topics, such as drug testing, exhibit a large effect.
The 16PF as a Predictor of Principal Performance: An Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods.

The relationship between a broad set of personality factors and principals' performance was studied using the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF). How high and low performing principals actually spent their time on the job was a secondary focus of the study. Subjects were 46 elementary school and 33 secondary school principals (96% were males) from a large ! metropolitan area in the Midwest. The subjects were divided into four groups of 19 to 20 members each corresponding to four divisions or pods comprising the administrative structure of the school district. In the study of time utilization, four high school principals with average and above average performance ratings were observed using the case szudy method. Subjects were administered the 16PF, and performance was rated by senior administrators of the school system. Results provide some predictive validity support for the relationship between factors measured by the 16PF and principal perfor.ance. The superior principal was more educated, assertive, imaginative, self-sufficient, and warmhearted. The study failed to predict the way in which principals spent their time from either their performance ratings or personality profiLes. One table summarizes the multiple regression analysis.
