Pillen voor de psyche; een exploratief onderzoek naar neuro-enhancement onder Nederlandse psychiaters en artsen.

BACKGROUND: Psychotropic drugs are being used increasingly for the purpose of neuro-enhancement. A survey conducted by Nature revealed that neuro-enhancing drugs were also being used quite widely by non-medical academics. AIM: To investigate the extent to which psychiatrists and other doctors working in psychiatry in the Netherlands actually take neuro-enhancing drugs themselves, and to record their views on the use of such drug. The findings form a basis for an ethical debate about the use of neuro-enhancing drugs in the Netherlands. METHOD: We transmitted an online questionnaire, based on the survey conducted by Nature, to as many as possible psychiatrists, trainees and other doctors working in psychiatry in the Netherlands. RESULTS: 11% of the respondents reported that they had occasionally taken neuro-enhancing medication without any medical reason in order to improve their own mental functioning. 66% of respondents felt that no-one should be allowed to take psychotropic drugs unless these have been prescribed for a strictly medical reason. CONCLUSION: Compared to those who responded to the Nature survey, respondents to the Dutch survey seemed to have considerably more reservations about the private use of neuro-enhancing drugs and seemed to be more critical about their use in general.

A Comparison of Readability in Science-Based Texts: Implications for Elementary Teachers

Science curriculum standards were mapped onto various texts (literacy readers, trade books, online articles). Statistical analyses highlighted the inconsistencies among readability formulae for Grades 2–6 levels of the standards. There was a lack of correlation among the readability measures, and also when comparing different text sources. Online texts were the most disparate with respect to text difficulty. These findings suggest implications for elementary teachers to support students who learn through reading online, science-based resources. As 21st-century learning through multi-modal literacies evolves, the readability of online, content-based text should be evaluated to ensure accessibility to all readers.

Film As Nation Building: The UAE Goes Into the Movie Business

For the past 10 years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been aggressively pioneering at a national, government-financed level the production of local films while also courting Hollywood producers as a financier and production center. As a young, wealthy nation still conflicted about how it defines itself to itself and how it wishes to be defined outside its border--and as a country with no previous history in the visual arts of any kind and no movie-going culture until the late 1990s--the UAE presents a unique approach to the building of a film industry, one that is not grounded in previous models of national film building. Through content analysis of UAE films and interviews with local filmmakers, framed through rhetoric scholar Kenneth Burke’s writing on symbolism, we look at how the UAE government wishes to be perceived abroad versus how its filmmakers—who have a co-dependent relationship with the government--are portraying the country.
A hospital cleaning study using microfibre and a novel copper biocide. I. Microbiological studies

We compared the performance of Vermop ultramicrofibre cloths/mops (UMF) with water (UMF + water) or impregnated with a novel copper-based biocide (UMF + CuWB50; 300 mg/L) with standard cleaning using cotton mops/cloths with Hospec detergent. Six sites were sampled with contact plates to enumerate total viable (bacterial) counts (TVCs) and with the 3M Clean-Trace ATP assay to assess cleaning efficacy. Statistical analysis revealed that one hour post-cleaning TVC levels were lower when using UMF + CuWB50 (75% reduction) compared with standard cleaning or UMF + water (45% and 35% reductions, respectively). There was a small overall residual effect when cleaning with UMF + CuWB50 (11.7% reduction in TVCs, p = 0.209). ATP levels were reduced more with UMF + CuWB50 than with standard cleaning or UMF + water. UMF( ± CuWB50) cleaning was more effective than standard cleaning (~78% vs. 61% reduction of ATP levels, respectively). This hospital implementation study demonstrates overall superior cleaning performance of UMF, which is enhanced with CuWB50, compared with standard cleaning.
Biokinematic differences between riding horses judged as good and poor at the trot

Summary The trotting gait of 4 approved Swedish Warmblood stallions with a mean gait score ≥8.67 (maximum score = 10) at official performance tests and 4 horses with poor gaits (mean gait score ≤6.5) was recorded by high speed film (250 frames/s). Angular patterns and hoof trajectories of the left fore and hind limbs were analysed and presented as mean and standard deviation curves. The good horses had longer stride duration (p<0.001) and larger positive diagonal advanced placement (p<0.01). The swing phase retraction in the forelimbs was longer in the good horses. The most important differences in the forelimb angular patterns were found in the elbow and carpal joint angles. They were considerably more flexed in the good horses at the beginning of the swing phase retraction. Larger decrease of the pelvis inclination, increase of the femur inclination and larger flexion of the hock and hind fetlock joints during the stance phase were correlated with high trot scores. This indicates that storage of elastic strain energy during the stance phase may be important for the elasticity, energy and propulsion in trot.
El efecto de la edad relativa en la participación en el Plan nacional de tecnificación deportiva y la consecución de grandes éxitos deportivos en piragüismo

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo ha sido identificar, en funcion del trimestre del ano en el que se ha nacido, la proporcion de piraguistas de aguas tranquilas que forman parte del Plan nacional de tecnificacion deportiva (PNTD) de la Real Federacion Espanola de Piraguismo (RFEP) y los que obtienen una medalla en los campeonatos del mundo y juegos olimpicos. Se ha analizado el trimestre del ano en el que han nacido los 152 piraguistas de 16 anos de edad que han sido seleccionados para formar parte de las concentraciones del PNTD de la RFEP entre los anos 2009 y 2011, y los 76 piraguistas espanoles que hasta la actualidad han obtenido una medalla en los Campeonatos del Mundo y Juegos Olimpicos. Entre los participantes del PNTD prevalecen los nacidos en el primer trimestre (37,5 %) (x2 = 18,68; p < 0,001). No obstante, al analizar los piraguistas que han sido medallistas en mundiales y Juegos Olimpicos se encuentra que el mayor porcentaje ha nacido en el cuarto trimestre del ano (35,1 %) (x2 = 13,756; p < 0,05). Por tanto, nacer en el primer trimestre del ano es uno de los factores determinantes en la eleccion de los piraguistas para formar parte del PNTD, pero no en la consecucion de exitos internacionales posteriormente; por lo que deberian restituirse los criterios para elegir a los piraguistas que se incluyen en el PNTD teniendo en cuenta factores como el estado madurativo del sujeto.

Éducation, expérience et salaire

[spa] Educacion, experiencia y salarios. Tendencias recientes y evolucion a largo plazo, . by Dominique Goux y Eric Maurin. A partir de un panel de encuestas Empleo (1990-1994), el estudio se propone medir las disparidades de salarios vinculadas a la experiencia profesional y a los diplomas, neutralizando los sezgos que provienen del caracter endogeno de las caracteristicas no observadas de los individuos, asi como tambien aquellos que provienen del caracter endogeno de las practicas salariales especificas de los empleadores. Con la base de un pseudo-panel de encuestas sobre la capacitacion y la calificacion profesional (FQP), se evalua por otro lado la evolucion del rendimiento salarial de los diplomas entre 1970 y 1993, neutralizando los efectos de la selectividad creciente de la desocupacion.

[eng] Education, experience and wsages. Recent trends and long-term evolution, . by Dominique Goux et Eric Maurin. This study uses an Employment survey panel (1990-1994) to endeavour to measure wage disparities linked to professional experience and qualifications. To do this, it neutralizes the biases connected with the endogenousness of unobserved individual characteristics as well as those related to the endogenousness of specific employer wage practices. It moreover uses a pseudo-survey panel on training and vocational qualifications to evaluate the development of the wage return on qualifications from 1970 to 1993 by neutralizing the effects of growing unemployment selectivity.

Health-Related Quality of Life after Knee Replacement: Results of the Knee Replacement Patient Outcomes Research Team Study*

&NA; A cross-sectional, community-based survey of a random sample of 1750 of 242,311 Medicare recipients was performed. The patients were at least sixty-five years old and had had a primary or revision knee replacement (either unilaterally or bilaterally) between 1985 and 1989. Three samples were surveyed separately: a national sample (to reflect the United States as a whole) and samples from Indiana and the western part of Pennsylvania (sites chosen for convenience to assess the validity of the findings for the national sample on a regional level). Each sample was stratified by race, age, residence (urban or rural), and the year of the procedure. Valid and reliable questionnaires were used to elicit the participants' assessments of pain, physical function, and satisfaction two to seven years after the knee replacement. Of the 1486 patients who were eligible for inclusion in the survey, 1193 (80.3 per cent) responded. The mean age of the respondents was 72.6 years. Eight hundred and forty-nine respondents (71.2 per cent) were white, and 849 (71.2 per cent) were women. The participants reported that they had little or no pain in the knee at the time of the survey, regardless of the age at the time of the knee replacement, the body-mass index, or the length of time since the knee replacement. After adjustment for potential confounding variables, predictors of better physical function after the replacement were an absence of problems with the contralateral knee, primary knee replacement (rather than revision) (Indiana sample only), and a lower body-mass index (Indiana and western Pennsylvania samples). Four hundred and fifteen (85.2 per cent) of the 487 patients in the national sample were satisfied with the result of the knee replacement. In what we believe to be the first community-based study of the outcome of knee replacement, patients reported having significant (p = 0.0001) and persistent relief of pain, improved physical function, and satisfaction with the result two to seven years postoperatively. The findings of the present study suggest that age and obesity do not have a negative impact on patient-relevant outcomes (pain and physical function). Dissemination of these findings has the potential to increase appropriate referrals for knee replacement and thereby reduce the pain and functional disability due to osteoarthrosis of the knee.
A Computer Model of the Human Cardio-Respiratory Control System including Acid-Base Equilibrium

A non-linear dynamical model of the human cardio-respiratory control and of acid-base regulation oriented to clinical applications is presented. The model incorporates the respiratory, cardiovascular and body fluids buffer systems. The respiratory system integrates three controlled compartments, i.e., the lung, body tissue and brain tissue, and a controller which adjusts alveolar ventilation in response to chemical perturbations detected by two groups of chemoreceptors: the central ones, which are sensitive to CO% pressure changes in the medulla, and the peripheral ones, which respond to changes in arterial C02 and 02 pressure. The cardiovascular system includes a simple bicornpartmental model of the systemic circulation that allows systemic arterial pressure and venous return to be computed. Cardiac output depends on heart rate and on right at rial pressure according to the Starling law. Two different mechanisms act on cardiovascular dynamics: the barorefiex control system which modulates heart rate, systemic arterial resistance and venous unstressed volume in response to pressure perturbations and a local chemical control which adjusts blood flow in presence of changes in arterial blood O] and CO% The body fluids buffer system is described by a new realistic CO2 dissociation curve, based on a two-buffer model of acid-base equilibrium. In addition, other relevant physiological factors are incorporated, such as buffer base, the Haldane effect on blood C02 saturation, and the Bohr effect on blood oxygen saturation. In this work, the model is validated simulating the ventilatory, cardiovascular and chemical responses to acute hypoxia during normocapnia. The results obtained agree with those found in the clinical and physiological literature rather well regarding the patterns of the main cardio-respiratory quantities. The model can be used as a support for the analysis of many clinical problems associated with acid-base perturbations, such as metabolic disorders, lung diseases, hemodialysis, and post-cardiosurgical care.
Using PDP Models to Simulate Phonological Dyslexia: The Key Role of Plasticity-Related Recovery

PMSP96 [Plaut, D. C. , McClelland, J. L. , Seidenberg, M. S. , & Patterson, K. Understanding normal and impaired word reading: Computational principles in quasi-regular domains. Psychological Review, 103, 56115, 1996, Simulation 4] is an implementation of the triangle model of reading, which was able to simulate effects found in normal and surface dyslexic readers. This study replicated the original findings and explored the possibility that damage to the phonological portion of the model might produce symptoms of phonological dyslexia. The first simulation demonstrated that this implementation of PMSP96 was able to reproduce the standard effects of reading, and that when damaged by removal of the semantic input to phonology, it produced the kind of frequency/consistency interactions and regularization errors typical of surface dyslexia. The second simulation explored the effect of phonological damage. Phonological damage alone did not result in a convincing simulation of phonological dyslexia. However, when the damage was followed by a period of recovery, the network was able to simulate large lexicality and imageability effects characteristic of phonological dyslexia-the first time that both surface and phonological dyslexia have been simulated in the same parallel distributed processing network. This result supports the view that plasticity-related changes should be a significant factor in our understanding of chronic behavioral dissociations.
