Children’s Experiences with Family Justice Professionals in Ontario and Ohio

There is increasing recognition in law and social science research of the importance of having children participate in post-separation decision making, though there is not a clear consensus on how this should be done. This article reviews the social science literature about children's participation in the family justice process and presents results of a study in Ohio and Ontario with 32 children between 7-17 years of age, who either met with a judge, had a children's lawyer represent them, or spoke to a mental health professional in a custody evaluation. Themes focus on (i) what they remembered about their parents' separation and how they felt about it; (ii) how they found out about the plans that were made for their care; (iii) their level of involvement in decisions about their parents' post-separation arrangements; (iv) the plans for their care; (v) what they remembered about their participation in the family justice process; (vi) what they found helpful about the process, and what was not helpful; and (vii) what advice they would give to lawyers/social workers/judges who work with children and young adults to help others in similar circumstances. The authors conclude by challenging some of the myths that professionals have about the possible harms or problems with involving children in decision-making post-separation. Children should never be forced to participate or feel that they are making a choice between parents, but it is valuable for children to be given the opportunity to participate, including meeting with the judge, if that is what they want.

Incidence of Elongated Styloid Process: A Radiographic Study

Many studies revealed that the styloid process and the stylohyoid chain presented considerable anatomic variability. Many times this elongated styloid process has also been attributed as a cause of pain and discomfort in the neck and throat region which was known as Eagle’s syndrome or styloid syndrome or stylohyoid syndrome. Hence, a study was designed to determine the length of styloid process on the orthopantomograph and review the selected related literature. A total of 200 healthy subjects of both the sexes in the age group of 5 to 75 years were radiographed. Each styloid process form both sides was classified to its morphologic appearance and measured. The data was subjected to statistical analysis which revealed elongation of styloid process increases as the age advances, when the incidence of elongation is compared on the right and left side no statistically significant difference is found. Pain is not associated with length or incidence of elongation.
Performability enhancement of fault-tolerant software

Model-based performability evaluation is used to assess and improve the effectiveness of fault-tolerant software. The evaluation employs a measure that combines quantifications of performance and dependability in a synergistic manner, thus capturing the interaction between these two important attributes. The specific systems evaluated are a basic realization of N-version programming (NVP) (N=3) along with variants thereof. For each system, its corresponding stochastic process model is constructed in two layers, with performance and dependability submodels residing in the lower layer. The evaluation results reveal the extent to which performance, dependability, and performability of a variant are improved relative to the basic NVP system. More generally, the investigation demonstrates that such evaluations are indeed feasible and useful with regard to enhancing software performability. >
Association between persistent high costs and chronic physical, mental and disability-related health conditions among community-dwelling Medicare-Medicaid dually eligible enrollees

Background: The 11.4 million Americans who receive both Medicare and Medicaid benefits constitute one of the nation’s most vulnerable and costly populations. Objectives: We examine the relationship between persistently high costs (PHC) and physical, mental, and disability-related conditions among community-dwelling dully eligible enrollees.
Face representation in Cortex : studies using a simple and not so special model

Motivation: The Face Inversion Effect (FIE) has been widely documented as an effect of the uniqueness of face processing [1, 2, 3]. Experience with faces has been postulated to play a crucial role in the FIE, causing subjects to process faces differently from other object classes [2]. However, simulations in our model of object recognition suggest that no special processing has to be assumed to observe an inversion effect [4]. Thus, an inversion effect should also be obtainable with other object classes on which subjects have been trained to become experts.

Pendekatan Stakeholders Engagement dalam Pengembangan Desa Wisata

Travel trends today is the travel by providing direct experiences to tourists. Rural tourism is one type of travel that can answer those needs. This research was conducted in Kadisobo II village, Trimulyo, Sleman that have been already eight years into a tourist village, but did not provide good results. Concepts used in this study is stakeholder engagement, a process in which organizations engage people who may be affected by the decision, made, or may affect the implementation of the decision. The method used is qualitative descriptive. The results showed that during this time, a rural tourism does not do the things that are the analysis of the parties involved. An in-depth analysis shows that minor things that are resistant or do not contribute to the development of rural tourism. Rather, it is more dominant is the support from external stakeholders in the development of rural tourism. Village tourism needs to organize theirselves better before doing the steps that are marketing communications.
Learning by Teaching: Reflections on Developing a Curriculum for School Mental Health Collaboration

Interdisciplinary collaboration is identified as best practice in delivering effective school mental health services. Pre-service training, however, often uses discipline-specific curriculum, limiting students' access to other disciplines and development of competency in interdisciplinary collaboration. Graduate students and faculty in this study worked collaboratively to develop a problem-based learning curriculum for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in school mental health. Qualitative methods were used to evaluate the curriculum development process and its impact on the developers' own competency in interdisciplinary collaboration. Five curriculum developers provided narrative responses to questions developed by the authors. Using content analysis coding, several categories emerged from the data. Key categories include participants learning more about their own and others' disciplinary perspectives, training methods for interdisciplinary collaboration, and challenges and positive outcomes associated with interdisciplinary collaboration. The findings suggest that a collaborative curriculum development process in and of itself may be an effective model for improving interdisciplinary collaboration between school mental health practitioners. Recommendations for future research and practical implications are described.
A fully-comprehensive mathematical approach to the expression of uncertainty in measurement

This paper analyses the result of a measurement in the mathematical model of incomplete knowledge and shows how it can be treated in the framework of the theory of evidence. The RFVs are considered in order to express the result of a measurement together with its uncertainty and a significant application is considered to prove the practical utility of the proposed approach.
Drug-induced acute dystonia in a 7 year old child following the use of artesunate- amodiaquine: A case report

Acute drug induced dystonias are commonly reported with antipsychotic drugs, however there have been reports of extrapyramidal symptoms following the use of 4-aminoquinolones such as chloroquine and amodiaquine for treating malaria especially in adults and adolescents. The aim of this report is to sensitize health care providers to the possibility of amodiaquine induced dystonia in children. We report a case of acute dystonic reaction following the use of artesunate-amodiaquine in a 7 year old boy who presented with tongue protrusion, inability to talk, torticollis, opistothonus and laryngeal spasm. Symptoms began about 22 h after treatment with artesunate-amodiaquine was initiated. The reaction was aborted with intravenous diazepam and the artesunate-amodiaquine was discontinued. Therefore, there is the need to conduct research on the prevalence of acute drug induced dystonia following the use of artesunate-amodiaquine in children especially in the community to evaluate the magnitude of this problem.
Reducing telemetry use while improving patient outcomes: University health network experience with the implementation of oximetry-based monitoring system

Introduction: Unrecognized clinical patient deterioration (CPD) is a precursor to preventable morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. The current standard of intermittent vital signs and physical assessments is inadequate for detecting early CPD and thus prevention of cardiopulmonary events. Continuous oximetry monitoring using a SafetyNet monitoring system (SNMS) may help facilitate early recognition of CPD and early intervention. However, some of the concerns regarding continuous monitoring systems include cost and alarm fatigue. We hypothesized that deployment of SNMS at our institution would result in improved detection of patient deterioration, fewer Intensive Care Unit (ICU) transfers, and reduced telemetry usage. Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of data from a quasi-experimental quality improvement project that took place on medical-surgical units (MSUs) at a large, tertiary referral center between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016. The 24-month study period included a 12-month pre-SNMS period (January–December 2015) and a 12-month post-SNMS period (January–December 2016). Clinical data were collected on two adjacent MSUs (“P8” and “P9”) with “P8” serving as the control unit where SNMS was not deployed. The primary study outcome was rate of ICU transfers tracked as transfers per 1000 patient-days. Telemetry usage and nonclinical alarm burden were our secondary outcomes. Estimated cost-saving analysis was also performed based on the reduction of ICU transfers. Results: The 24-month study period encompassed 21,189 patient-days on the P9 MSU (11,702 pre-SNMS and 9487 post-SNMS) and 23,388 patient-days on the P8 MSU (13,616 pre-SNMS and 9772 post-SNMS). The median case-mix index (a measure of patient acuity based on comorbidities) was higher for P9 than P8 during the duration of the study (2.08 [interquartile range (IQR) 1.98–2.17] vs. 1.67 [IQR 1.64–1.76], respectively). The rate of ICU transfers per 1000 patient-days on the P9 MSU declined from 11.7 during preintervention period to 8.8 post-SNMS implementation (P < 0.03), whereas the comparison unit demonstrated no change. Mean telemetry usage post-SNMS implementation significantly decreased on the P9 unit (21.6 to 16.5 per 1000 patient-days, P < 0.01). Based on the observed difference of 38 ICU transfers between pre- and post-SNMS periods, the estimated cost savings for our Network were $902,386. Conclusions: The current standard of inpatient monitoring through intermittent vital sign sampling, physical examination assessments, and continuous telemetry for patients deemed to be “high-risk” is ineffective in detecting early CPD. This study suggests that implementation of SNMS may help reduce ICU transfers (and associated costs) while at the same time decreasing the reliance on telemetry monitoring. The following core competencies are addressed in this article: Interpersonal and communication skills, Practice-based learning and improvement, Systems-based practice.

Scratch y Makey Makey: herramientas para fomentar habilidades del pensamiento de orden superior

In a digitized society has accelerated changes due to massive use of ICT, competent, creative and possessing expertise in these fields students are demanded, but you have concept that is complex to learn. These changes are reflected in all fields of society, however they underestimated in rural education here the digital gap is more felt every day. Before the quantity of technological tools that can be integrated into the curriculum to potentiate the teaching and learning processes, it is decided to implement educational content that collectively these tools , for the case Scratch and Makey Makey, encourage thinking skills of a higher order , and to do so rurality with children in fourth and fifth grade proving that technology should be available to all in the interests of digital inclusion without distinction envisioning the future of the rural world in the hands of technological change.
A comparison of cooperative learning and traditional lecture methods in the project management department of a tertiary level institution in Trinidad and Tobago

This study reports on students' performance after two groups of students were each exposed to different teaching methods; cooperative learning and traditional lecture formats. Knowledge and application of 'motivation' as a principle in project management was identified for this study. A pre-test and a post-test were administered and assessed. The differences in individual scores as the change in learning were used to test the null hypotheses. The findings have given sufficient evidence to infer that we accept the null hypotheses and reject the alternative hypotheses. The results of this study infer that there is no significant difference in learning as a consequence of different teaching methods with regard to knowledge and application in a project management course at a tertiary level institution in Trinidad and Tobago, and that there is no silver bullet for teaching and learning.
Spectrum of histopathological lesions in cholecystectomy specimens: A study of 360 cases at a teaching hospital in South Delhi

Background: Gallstone disease is a common surgical problem requiring cholecystectomy. It is known to produce diverse histopathological changes in the gallbladder ranging from acute or chronic inflammation to metaplasias and even malignancies. The aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of a detailed microscopic examination and to study the diverse range of histopathological lesions in cholecystectomy specimens. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 360 cholecystectomy specimens received in the Department of Pathology over a period of 2 years from November 2010 to October 2012. Clinical details and histopathological data were retrieved from the records. The variety of morphological changes in the diseased gall bladder were correlated with the clinical findings. Results: Overall, there were 360 cases consisting of 74 (21%) males and 286 (79%) females. Maximum number of patients was between 31 and 40 years (30.2%). Most common pathology noted in our study was chronic cholecystitis seen in 280 cases (77.7%). Other benign lesions were cholesterosis in 36 (10%) and acute cholecystitis in 10 (2.7%). Various other associated lesions and variants of cholecystitis were also encountered. A total of nine malignant lesions of gallbladder were observed, which included eight cases of incidental adenocarcinomas and one case showing lymphomatous involvement. Conclusion: Our study emphasizes that a routine cholecystectomy performed for a common condition like gallstone disease can result in a diverse and wide spectrum of histopathological lesions ranging from benign diagnosis to an unexpected gallbladder malignancy.
Word Skipping in Chinese Reading: The Role of High-Frequency Preview and Syntactic Felicity

Two experiments are reported to investigate whether Chinese readers skip a high-frequency preview word without taking the syntax of the sentence context into account. In Experiment 1, we manipulated target word syntactic category, frequency, and preview using the boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975). For high-frequency verb targets, there were identity and pseudocharacter previews alongside a low-frequency noun preview. For low-frequency verb targets, there were identity and pseudocharacter previews alongside a high-frequency noun preview. Results showed that for high-frequency targets, skipping rates were higher for identical previews compared with the syntactically infelicitous alternative low-frequency preview and pseudocharacter previews, however for low-frequency targets, skipping rates were higher for high-frequency previews (even when they were syntactically infelicitous) compared with the other 2 previews. Furthermore, readers were more likely to skip the target when they had a high-frequency, syntactically felicitous preview compared to a high-frequency, syntactically infelicitous preview. The pattern of felicity effects was statistically robust when readers launched saccades from near the target. In Experiment 2, we assessed whether display change awareness influenced the patterns of results in Experiment 1. Results showed that the overall patterns held in Experiment 2 regardless of some readers being more likely to be aware of the display change than others. These results suggest that decisions to skip a word in Chinese reading are primarily based on parafoveal word familiarity, though the syntactic felicity of a parafoveal word also exerts a robust influence for high-frequency previews.
Independent Association of 9p21 Locus and Sub clinical Atherosclerosis

Methods: 361 Han Chinese elderly in Beijing were included. These subjects underwent the following procedures: (1) Personal medical history and physical examination; (2) Routine blood chemistry and urine analysis; (3) Left ventricular mass index was obtained by echocardiography, and ultrasound evaluation of carotid intima-media thickness. We tested the genotypes of six single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 9p21 (rs2383206, rs10965234, rs10965235, rs10757277, rs10811656 and rs1333047). Results: For the SNP rs2383206, Genotypes with allele A (AA/AG) was significantly associated with higher CCA IMT (p=0.003). For the SNP rs1075277, Genotypes with allele A (AA/AG) was significantly associated with higher CCA IMT as well (p=0.021). This phenomenon was not observed in ICA IMT and LVH. After adjustment for age, sex, BMI, SBP, DBP, TC, FPG, general linear regression analysis demonstrated that age (? =0.145, p=0.009) and rs1075277 (? =-0.115, p=0.037) were independently associated with CCA IMT. But there was no association between rs2383206 with CCA IMT. Conclusions: In a cross-sectional study of Han Chinese elderly in Beijing, chromosome 9p21 locus showed a significant association with carotid atherosclerosis, especially CCA IMT. However, there was no association between 9p21and LVH.
Some Observations in the Nature of Cancer: Preliminary Report: Studies in the Incidence and Inheritability of Spontaneous Tumors in Mice: 26th Report

Many studies carried on in this laboratory have a marked bearing upon the baffling problem of the nature of cancer. It seems appropriate to emphasize these findings at this time, particularly in the light of the extraordinary and continued interest aroused by the reports of Gye and Barnard of London, working with the Rous chicken sarcoma (1), also of the work now in progress by Blumenthal of Berlin (2) and the older work of Smith (3) on plant tumors. The results of these studies seem to conflict with the possibility of cancer being caused by a germ such as any we know. Some of these observations I wish to present in a brief and wholly preliminary form. Individual reports will follow, giving specific data on each of the lines of evidence included in this paper, as quickly as they can be prepared. There are, apparently, two factors necessary to produce cancer: first, an inherited local susceptibility to the disease (4–11); and second, irritation of the right kind and in the right degree applied to the cancer-susceptible tissues. These two factors have seemed to be the only ones necessary to explain the production in this stock of between 5,000 and 6,000 spontaneous cancers, among necropsies now numbering over 62,000. The results do not demand the assumption of a cancer germ.
