Metodo: Revision sistematica en la Web of Science (2004-2014). Resultados: Dos grupos de investigadores publicaron los articulos revisados. Los pacientes que recibieron intervenciones basadas en activacion conductual presentaron mejor estado emocional, condicion fisica y calidad de vida. Se detectaron diferencias entre los trabajos de ambos grupos. Conclusiones: La activacion conductual es util para la prevencion y el tratamiento de trastornos emocionales en pacientes oncologicos. No obstante, la heterogeneidad y las limitaciones de los estudios hacen necesario desarrollar nuevos trabajos que permitan conocer que caracteristicas de los pacientes y/o de la intervencion mejorarian los resultados de la misma. EnglishObjective: To analyze published studies that investigated the usefulness of behavioral activation in the treatment of cancer patients. Method: A systematic review in the Web of Science (2004-2014). Results: The articles reviewed were published by two groups of researchers. Patients who received interventions based on behavioral activation showed better emotional state, physical condition and quality of life. Differences were detected between the work of both groups. Conclusions: Behavioral activation is useful for the prevention and treatment of emotional disorders in cancer patients. However, the heterogeneity and limitations of the studies require the development of new studies allowing to know which characteristics of the patients and / or the intervention would improve results.
Unsupervised Named Entity Classification Models and their Ensembles

This paper proposes an unsupervised learning model for classifying named entities. This model uses a training set, built automatically by means of a small-scale named entity dictionary and an unlabeled corpus. This enables us to classify named entities without the cost for building a large hand-tagged training corpus or a lot of rules.Our model uses the ensemble of three different learning methods and repeats the learning with new training examples generated through the ensemble learning. The ensemble of various learning methods brings a better result than each individual learning method. The experimental result shows 73.16% in precision and 72.98% in recall for Korean news articles.
A DCC-GARCH Model To Estimate the Risk to the Capital Market in Romania

In this paper we propose to study if the standard and asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models, following Cappiello et al. (2006), may capture spillover effects and the degree of interaction with the European capital market using the DAX index as proxy. We found evidence that the asymmetric DCC models perform better than the similar non-asymmetric ones. In the second semester of 2011, increased significant dynamic correlations suggest the presence of volatility spillovers from the main capital equity markets. Although all DCC models can capture contagion, seen as a significant increase in the co-movements of stock index returns, the AGD-DCC model is more sensitive to unexpected changes in returns. The results indicate significant, but not very strong correlation of BET and BETFI indexes with the DAX index in the second semester of 2011.
French Economic Patriotism: Legislative, Regulatory, & Discursive Dimensions

This paper focuses on the phenomenon of economic patriotism understood not in the narrow or exclusively French sense (i.e. ‘what Nicolas Sarkozy says and does’). Rather, French policy developments are analyzed as one (crude) iteration of a wider genus of political economic activity in contemporary Europe which seeks to advance the perceived economic self-interest of particular groups and actors (firms, workforces, or sectors) defined according to their territorial status. Economic Patriotism can be seen as the latest iteration of a much longer established set of practices and approaches to economic policy (neo-mercantilism, economic nationalism, protectionism). This paper explores economic patriotism in France in recent years primarily in relation to corporate governance and takeovers, noting a combination of neo-liberal and protectionist elements within French Economic patriotism. The novelty of modern economic patriotism is its operation within a multileveled governance of political economic and corporate activity, which spans the regional level (European regulation) and the global level (the World Trade Organisation). This renders elements of traditional economic nationalist political economy and industrial policy unfeasible. Supranational rules constrain or prevent policy mechanisms such as tariffs, public procurement, subsidies, and favoured market access. Economic patriotism must therefore operate within certain limits of supranational and global regulation.
Incorporating Contextual Knowledge in Faculty Professional Development for Online Teaching

Online learning has become an important component of the higher education landscape in the United States. However, faculty are often either ill-prepared in using cutting-edge educational technologies in the classroom or have reservations about online teaching. Mishra and Koehler’s (2006) Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, often used in K-12 settings to describe the role of technology in the pedagogical process, can be adapted to meet the professional development needs of faculty. The model we propose, TPACK-ConK, adds another layer of knowledge, context knowledge, to the model in order to account for the specific professional development needs of faculty in higher education. TPACK-ConK can be used by Centers for Teaching and Learning to better construct professional development for faculty engaged in online teaching.

Global Vs. Per-domain monitoring of multi-domain networks

Mutli-domain monitoring aims at guaranteeing QoS for services crossing several domains. It is often desirable to perform global monitoring to guarantee end-to-end QoS for services across domains and to reduce the monitoring cost. However, global monitoring might be infeasible due to confidentiality constraints. The alternative solution is to perform per-domain monitoring. In this work, we propose to evaluate global and per-domain monitoring techniques. For this end, we study the properties of multi-domain networks and the requirements of multi-domain monitoring. We formulate the problem as an Integer Linear Program (ILP). We show that it is a Nondeterministic Polynomial Time Hard (NP-Hard) problem, and therefore, we devise a heuristic that meets multi-domain properties. We show that confidentiality is far from being the only constraint to global multi-domain monitoring. In our evaluation, the confidentiality constraint has been relaxed, in order to investigate other performance metrics; namely, the monitoring cost, the quality of monitored paths, the anomaly detection delays, and the fairness of monitoring load distribution among domains. Simulation results on random topologies show that per-domain monitoring outperforms global monitoring for all these metrics, except the monitoring cost that is slightly lower for global monitoring.
Global Sensitivity Analysis for Latent Factor Credit Risk Models

This paper proposes the use of a global sensitivity analysis to evaluate the risk associated with a credit portfolio model. The main features of this approach are its ability to assess sensitivities in the presence of non-linearities and to rank the input factors with respect to their relevance for the output variable. The commonly used local sensitivity analysis which is nested in the global model cannot provide this information. We analyze the static and time-varying uncertainties of three key input factors in a latent factor credit risk model, i.e. the multivariate distribution (copula), the default correlation and the default probability. Results show that the importance of the factors strongly depends on the average default probability of the portfolio and the analyzed quantiles of the default distribution. The proposed technique also provides information about trade-offs between the factors, e.g. between the default correlation and the copula.
On the Spatial Distribution of Fingerprint Singularities

Fingerprint singularities play an important role in several fingerprint recognition and classification systems. Although some general relationships and constraints about the location of singularities in the different fingerprint classes are well known, to the best of our knowledge no statistical models have been developed until now. This paper studies the spatial distributions of singularity locations in nature and derives, from a representative dataset of labelled samples, the probability density functions of the four main fingerprint classes. The results obtained can be directly exploited to improve the accuracy of many techniques relying on the position of singularities, as confirmed by the results of two experiments on fingerprint classification and synthesis.
An Alu transposition model for the origin and expansion of human segmental duplications.

Relative to genomes of other sequenced organisms, the human genome appears particularly enriched for large, highly homologous segmental duplications (> or =90% sequence identity and > or =10 kbp in length). The molecular basis for this enrichment is unknown. We sought to gain insight into the mechanism of origin, by systematically examining sequence features at the junctions of duplications. We analyzed 9,464 junctions within regions of high-quality finished sequence from a genomewide set of 2,366 duplication alignments. We observed a highly significant (P<.0001) enrichment of Alu short interspersed element (SINE) sequences near or within the junction. Twenty-seven percent of all segmental duplications terminated within an Alu repeat. The Alu junction enrichment was most pronounced for interspersed segmental duplications separated by > or =1 Mb of intervening sequence. Alu elements at the junctions showed higher levels of divergence, consistent with Alu-Alu-mediated recombination events. When we classified Alu elements into major subfamilies, younger elements (AluY and AluS) accounted for the enrichment, whereas the oldest primate family (AluJ) showed no enrichment. We propose that the primate-specific burst of Alu retroposition activity (which occurred 35-40 million years ago) sensitized the ancestral human genome for Alu-Alu-mediated recombination events, which, in turn, initiated the expansion of gene-rich segmental duplications and their subsequent role in nonallelic homologous recombination.
Axioms in Model-based Planners

Axioms can be used to model derived predicates in domain- independent planning models. Formulating models which use axioms can sometimes result in problems with much smaller search spaces and shorter plans than the original model. Previous work on axiom-aware planners focused solely on state- space search planners. We propose axiom-aware planners based on answer set programming and integer programming. We evaluate them on PDDL domains with axioms and show that they can exploit additional expressivity of axioms.
Identification of a Unique Core Domain of Par-4 Sufficient for Selective Apoptosis Induction in Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT Recent studies indicated that the leucine zipper domain protein Par-4 induces apoptosis in certain cancer cells by activation of the Fas prodeath pathway and coparallel inhibition of NF-κB transcriptional activity. However, the intracellular localization or functional domains of Par-4 involved in apoptosis remained unknown. In the present study, structure-function analysis indicated that inhibition of NF-κB activity and apoptosis is dependent on Par-4 translocation to the nucleus via a bipartite nuclear localization sequence, NLS2. Cancer cells that were resistant to Par-4-induced apoptosis retained Par-4 in the cytoplasm. Interestingly, a 59-amino-acid core that included NLS2 but not the C-terminal leucine zipper domain was necessary and sufficient to induce Fas pathway activation, inhibition of NF-κB activity, and apoptosis. Most important, this core domain had an expanded target range for induction of apoptosis, extending to previously resistant cancer cells but not to normal cells. These findings have identified a unique death-inducing domain selective for apoptosis induction in cancer cells (SAC domain) which holds promise for identifying key differences between cancer and normal cells and for molecular therapy of cancer.
Analysis of the self-compassion and cognitive flexibility with marital compatibility in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder

Purpose: Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face many problems in their marital lives. Autism is a developmental disorder, emerging during childhood that affects development across various domains. Studies suggest that autism prevalence rates are increasing, and research shows that parents of children with ASD frequently experience high levels of parenting stress. Marital compatibility is fulfilled when couples have the sense of satisfaction and contentment from each other. This study was done to analyze self-compassion and cognitive flexibility in relation with marital compatibility in parents having children with ASD. Methods: A sample size with 100 married couples, who referred to autism centers, was selected after clinical interviews. The research tools included structural clinical interview (DSM SCID), self-compassion scales questionnaire, cognitive flexibility inventory questionnaire, and marital compatibility test questionnaire, which were completed by the participants. Results: The research is a correlational descriptive study. Data analysis was done by the path analysis method. The findings showed that there was a significant relation between self-compassion, cognitive flexibility, and marital compatibility. Conclusions: In this study, it could be concluded that compassion via flexibility can have indirect positive effects on marital compatibility as two features of self-compassion and cognitive flexibility can help parents of children with ASD to be more compatible and flexible in their marital lives.
An Intra-cluster Routing Protocol IHMDA

A wireless sensor network is a data communication system that consists of from several to thousands of tiny wireless sensor nodes. These battery-powered sensor nodes cooperate with each other to accomplish data transmission. In-network data aggregation is essential for wireless sensor network where energy resources are limited. But most of present routing protocols haven’t given too much attention to it. By analyzing the disadvantage of present routing protocols in data aggregation, this paper proposes a intra-cluster routing protocol——IHMDA (Interval-hoop Multi-path Data Aggregation), which emphasizes the significance of data aggregation, and analyze the energy consumption in theory. In IHMDA protocol, Information-Queue is set by cluster-head to establish the next-hop node, and each sub-area in cluster forms a Hamilton cycle, so that data aggregation can be done through the cycle. Simulation results illustrated that IHMDA could keep the balance of energy consumption in the sensor network, which can prolong the lifetime of the network.
Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Rectifying Junctions in and on Metal Nanowires †

Alumina membranes containing 200 nm diameter pores were replicated electrochemically with metals (Au and Ag) to make free-standing nanowires several microns in length. Wet layer-by-layer assembly of nanoparticle (TiO2 or ZnO)/polymer thin films was carried out in the membrane between electrodeposition steps to give nanowires that contained rectifying junctions. Concentric structures with similar properties were prepared by first coating the membrane walls with multilayer films, and then growing nanowires inside the resulting tubules, or by growing films on the exposed surface of the nanowires after dissolution of the membrane. The I−V characteristics of nanowires prepared by either technique show current rectifying behavior. The electronic properties of Au(MEA)/(ZnO/PSS)19ZnO/Ag (MEA = mercaptoethylamine) devices indicate that rectification is determined by charge injection at the metal/ZnO/PSS-film interface rather than by a tunneling mechanism. In the case of Ag(TiO2/PSS)9TiO2/Au devices, switching beha.
The Export of Children? The Children's Friend Society and the London Parishes, 1830–42

Abstract The Children's Friend Society was a leading sponsor of the emigration of poor children to the British colonies during the 1830s. While some London parishes supported the Children's Friend Society, as a means of reducing costs to the public purse and giving opportunities to their workhouse children, others objected to what was seen as unjust treatment, separating young people from their families and homeland. The voices of children and parents were increasingly heard in this debate, and in the later investigations by parishes into the fate of young people who had been sent to the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere.
Recursive Optimal Network Flow Control Algorithm Based on Predictor

With regard to the impact of multimedia digital service transfer delay in computer network, we apply the simplified Smith predictor algorithm combined with the recursive algorithm, and propose a recursive optimization control algorithm based on predictor. The method is easy to implement and has a practical application in multimedia networks. The simulation result shows that this method can adjust the service send rate and queue in buffer rapidly and effectively, can improve the link utilization, and the delay effect is effectively overcome.
Legal stratagems (hiyal) and usury in Islamic commercial law

This thesis investigates the subject of legal stratagems \((hiyal)\) in Islamic jurisprudence, in general and more particularly the \(hiyal\) used to evade the usury \((ribā) \)prohibition. The context of this thesis is the nascent Islamic finance industry in which these \(hiyal\) play a leading role. The \(hiyal\) have been appropriated from the classical Islamic legal corpus without appreciating their historical contextual framework. This thesis seeks to explicate that framework and clarify the purpose and role of those \(hiyal\) as envisaged in the discourse of the classical Islamic jurists. The \(hiyal\) are shown to be premised upon a teleology which demarcates them as normative exits, \(makhārij\). The \(makhārij\) are conditioned by the systematic reasoning of the Ḥanafī jurists, which both justifies their utility and circumscribes their juridical remit. The \(hiyal\) of \(ribā\) are demonstrated to have been utilised primarily as substitutes for philanthropy, and not in the commercial sector. The commercial sector relied on the Islamic prescriptions for equity investment partnerships which precluded the need for interest based loans. Although the jurists sanctioned the \(hiyal\) of \(ribā\) for the poor, they did so at the expense of systematic consistency. This means that these \(hiyal\), as opposed to the \(makhārij\), are not regarded as normative exits, but rather, as transitory concessions. The use of these \(hiyal\) as financial norms is therefore unwarranted. The substantive repercussions of this juridical reassessment were demonstrated using the historical experience of the Ottomans, where the long term use of the \(hiyal\) of \(ribā\) resulted in the negative socio-economic conditions generally associated with usurious economies.
