Evidence Base for the DIRFloortime ® Approach

“Evidence-based practice” means a decision making process which integrates the best available scientifically rigorous research, clinical expertise, and individual’s characteristics. Evidence-based practice is an approach to treatment rather than a specific treatment. Evidence-based practice promotes the collection, interpretation, integration, and continuous evaluation of valid, important, and applicable individualor family-reported, clinically-observed, and research-supported evidence. The best available evidence, matched to infant or toddler circumstances and preferences, is applied to ensure the quality of clinical judgments and facilitates the most cost-effective care.

GAME BASED MOBILE LEARNING – APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION

Game based mobile learning is becoming increasingly popular in the world of rapid scientific and technological changes where mobile devices provide support for multimedia content, location awareness, augmented reality and connectivity. However, just having technical features does not make a game either engaging or pedagogical. The challenge for designers of games for mobile learning is to provide both effective gaming experiences and learning outcomes into the same application. This paper presents an approach for developing a mobile game-based learning application named "Geostep". The application is an interactive mobile learning framework designed for both formal and informal educational scenarios. The concept of development and playing of mobile educational games has been tested and evaluated in different groups of students and teachers at University “Mediterranean”, Montenegro.
Feasibility of expanding traffic monitoring systems with floating car data technology

Trajectory information reported by certain vehicles (Floating Car Data or FCD) can be applied to monitor the road network. Policy makers face difficulties when deciding to invest in the expansion of their infrastructure based on inductive loops and cameras, or to invest in a FCD system. This paper targets this decision. The provided FCD functionality is investigated, minimum requirements are determined and reliability issues are researched. The communication cost is derived and combined with other elements to assess the total costs for different scenarios. The outcome is to target a penetration rate of 1%, a sample interval of 10 seconds and a transmission interval of 30 seconds. Such a deployment can accurately determine the locations of incidents and traffic jams. It can also estimate travel times accurately for highways, for urban roads this is limited to a binary categorization into normal or congested traffic. No reliability issues are expected. The most cost efficient scenario when deploying a new FCD system is to launch a smartphone application. For Belgium, this costs 13 million EUR for 10 years. However, it is estimated that purchasing data from companies already acquiring FCD data through their own product could reduce costs with a factor 10.
Anthropometric characteristics and nutritional status of adult Oraon men of Gumla District, Jharkhand, India

Background. According to the 2001 Census, India has a tribal population of over 84 million which constitutes 8.2 % of its total population. In general, the tribal populations of India are very undernourished. Objectives. To determine the anthropometric characteristics and prevalence of undernutrition, based on body mass index (BMI), of adult male Oraons, a tribal population of Gumla District, Jharkhand, India. Methods. A total of 205 adult (age=18 years and above) Oraon men of five villages, namely, Kubatoli, Rehetoli, Bhitar (inner) Serka, Bahir Serka, and Chera, in Gumla District, Jharkhand. These villages are located approximately 130 km from Ranchi, the provincial capital of Jharkhand. Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, circumferences and skinfolds. BMI was calculated by the standard equation. Chronic energy deficiency (CED) was evaluated according internationally accepted BMI cut-off points. Results. The means (SD) for height, weight and BMI were 161.8 (6.3) cm, 47.3 (5.3) kg and 18.0 (1.6), respectively. The prevalence of CED (BMI < 18.5) was 63.9 %. The rates of CED III (BMI < 16.0), CED II (BMI = 16.0 to 16.9) and CED I (BMI = 17.0 to 18.4) were 7.3 %, 17.6 % and 39.0 %, respectively. According to the WHO criterion, the prevalence of undernutrition was very high and the situation was critical. Conclusions. Adult Oraon men of Gumla, Jharkhand, are facing severe nutritional stress. The situation is critical, necessitating implementation of immediate nutritional intervention programs.
Guidelines on Percutaneous Ablation of Small Renal Cell Carcinoma

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) comprises approximately 3.8% of all new cancers in the western world; the detection rate of RCC has been increasing in the past 10 years by approximately 1.7% per year [1]. This rise is attributed to the increased number of diagnostic cross-sectional scans in which asymptomatic renal tumours are incidentally detected. The median age at diagnosis is 64 years [2]. RCC may be sporadic or congenital. Sporadic RCC has an established link with smoking and obesity. Congenital RCC is linked to specific gene mutations. The autosomal dominant mutation of the von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) gene predisposes to clear cell RCC [3, 4]. Another predisposing mutation is that of the germline MET proto-oncogene (MET). Germline mutations of MET have been detected primarily in patients with hereditary papillary RCC, whereas somatic MET mutations are also detected in 5–13% of patients with sporadic papillary RCC [5, 6]. The most widely accepted histological grading system of RCC is the Fuhrman nuclear grade, which distinguishes 4 different grades (Fuhrman 1 to 4) according to the shape of the nuclei; a simplified division into high (previously 3–4) and low (1–2) grades is now more commonly used [7]. According to the World Health Organization classification, there are three major histological subtypes: clear cell (80–90%), papillary (10–15%) and chromophobe (4–5%) [8]. The classification and grading were both updated in 2013 by the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Vancouver Classification [9]. The updated RCC histopathology classification is shown in Table 1. The 5-year survival rate for kidney cancer is 91.8% for localized disease and 12.1% for advanced disease, with the most important prognostic factors being the tumour grade, the local extent and the presence of nodal or distal metastases at presentation [1]. The most common sites of metastasis include the lungs, bone, brain, liver and adrenal glands [4]. The vast majority of small tumours are asymptomatic. Clinical presentation of advanced tumours includes haematuria and flank pain from local infiltration and symptoms from metastatic dissemination (skeletal pain, lymph node enlargement, haemoptysis, convulsions). Imaging plays a crucial role in the detection and characterization of renal masses. Computed Tomography (CT) before and after the administration of intravenous contrast is usually the first-line scan. A mass is considered to be enhancing if there is an increase of at least 15 Hounsfield Units (HU) after contrast injection [10]. CT also provides staging information including the spread of disease in the & Miltiadis E. Krokidis mkrokidis@hotmail.com
Repeat Migration in the Age of the “Unauthorized Permanent Resident”: A Quantitative Assessment of Migration Intentions Postdeportation

Drawing on postdeportation surveys (N = 1,109) with Mexican migrants, we examine the impact of immigration enforcement programs and various social factors on repeat migration intentions. Our multivariate analyses suggest immigrants with strong personal ties to the United States have higher relative odds of intending to cross the border again, even when controlling modes of removal from the United States. Our findings highlight the inevitable failure of immigration policy and enforcement programs when placed against the powerful pull of family and home. These findings shed greater insight on the complex nature of unauthorized migration in an era of increased securitization and deportation.
Privacy Preserving Mining in Code Profiling Data

Privacy preserving data mining is an important issue nowadays for data mining. Since various organizations and people are generating sensitive data or information these days. They don’t want to share their sensitive data however that data can be useful for data mining purpose. So, due to privacy preserving mining that data can be mined usefully without harming the privacy of that data. Privacy can be preserved by applying encryption on database which is to be mined because now the data is secure due to encryption. Code profiling is a field in software engineering where we can apply data mining to discover some knowledge so that it will be useful in future development of software. In this work we have applied privacy preserving mining in code profiling data such as software metrics of various codes. Results of data mining on actual and encrypted data are compared for accuracy. We have also analyzed the results of privacy preserving mining in code profiling data and found interesting results.

INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF RENAL IMPAIRMENT IN HIV-1 INFECTED PATIENTS RECEIVING TENOFOVIR BASED ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY IN A SOUTH INDIAN HOSPITAL

Objective: To identify the incidence and risk factors of tenofovir (TDF) induced nephrotoxicity among People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) receiving TDF-based anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in a South Indian Hospital. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-infected ART naive patients taking TDF as part of either a first-line or second-line ART between July 2013 and June 2015 at Asha kirana Hospital Mysore, India. Results: A total of 380 patients have been initiated on TDF-based ART. Out of these, 335 patients were on tenofovir+lamivudine+efavirenz, 30 patients were on the tenofovir+lamivudine+nevirapine regimen and 25 patients were on tenofovir+lamivudine+atazanavir/ritonavir regimen. Renal impairment was documented for 35 patients with 9.21% incidence. 34% of renal impaired patients had a severe impairment with eGFR 61 y) had higher chances of developing TDF toxicity compared to adult patients (P=0.0018). Other possible risk factors for TDF-induced renal impairment was CD4>200 (P=0.003). TDF was withdrawn and substituted with Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) drug following the diagnosis of renal impairment. Conclusion: TDF-associated renal impairment was not uncommon in real-life practice and considered as a frequent complication during treatment with TDF. Risk factors for developing renal impairment include increasing age and CD4>200 cells.
Ground surface temperature reconstructions: Using in situ estimates for thermal conductivity acquired with a fiber‐optic distributed thermal perturbation sensor

We have developed a borehole methodology to estimate formation thermal conductivity in situ with a spatial resolution of one meter. In parallel with a fiber‐optic distributed temperature sensor (DTS), a resistance heater is deployed to create a controlled thermal perturbation. The transient thermal data is inverted to estimate the formation's thermal conductivity. We refer to this instrumentation as a Distributed Thermal Perturbation Sensor (DTPS), given the distributed nature of the DTS measurement technology. The DTPS was deployed in permafrost at the High Lake Project Site (67°22′N, 110°50′W), Nunavut, Canada. Based on DTPS data, a thermal conductivity profile was estimated along the length of a wellbore. Using the thermal conductivity profile, the baseline geothermal profile was then inverted to estimate a ground surface temperature history (GSTH) for the High Lake region. The GSTH exhibits a 100‐year long warming trend, with a present‐day ground surface temperature increase of 3.0 ± 0.8°C over the long‐term average.
Identification of potential bacteria controlling pathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani in rice.

This study was to produce highly efficient antagonists to control soil borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani in rice. Soil samples from different location in natural ecosystem were collected and characterization for antagonistic efficiency between isolated bacteria and R. solani were performed. Antagonistic test in dual culture showed that isolates S3B11 and SW2B49 had the highest antagonistic activities with the inhibition zone of 36.0 mm and 32.2 mm on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium respectively. These two isolates produced chitinase on M9 agar supplemented with colloidal chitin as the sole carbon source. The results indicated that these two strains hydrolyzed colloidal chitin after 3–4 days. The production of chitinase could be one of the factors which suppressed growth of R. solani on the agar medium. From this study, it could be concluded that the two antagonists identified as Pseudomonas fragi and Bacillus pumilus have the potential to control R. solani in rice. *Strategic Resources Research Centre, MARDI Headquarters, P.O.

Rahim E-mail: tangh@mardi.gov. my ©Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute 2010 Introduction Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. is the causal agent of rice sheath blight, which has become a major constraint to rice production during the last two decades (Kobayashi et al. 1997). The emergence of R. solani as an economically important rice pathogen has been attributed to the intensification of rice-cropping systems with the development of new short-statured, high-tillering, highyielding varieties, high plant densities, and an increase in nitrogen fertilization (Gangopadhay and Chakrabarti 1982; Ou 1985). This pathogen can survive in soil for many years by producing small (1–3 mm diameter), irregular-shaped, brown to black structures in soil and on plant tissues. Certain rice pathogens of R. solani have developed the ability to produce sclerotia with a thick outer layer that allows them to float and survive in water. Rhizoctonia solani also survives as mycelium by colonizing soil organic matter as a saprophyte, particularly as a result of plant pathogenic activity (Ghaffar 1988). The sclerotia present in soil and/or on plant tissue germinate to produce vegetative threads (hyphae) of the fungus that can attack a wide range of food and fibre crops. The pathogen is transported in infected soil or through movement of diseased plants or bean pods (Wallwork 1996). Many researches have been employed to control the sheath blight disease in rice which include searching for high
Processing and Characterization of Epoxy/Luffa Composites: Investigation on Chemical Treatment of Fibers on Mechanical and Acoustical Properties

This study focuses on the development of epoxy/luffa composites and the investigation of their mechanical and acoustical properties. The fibers underwent an alkalization treatment, and its effects on the mechanical and sound absorption properties of the composites were measured utilizing a universal testing machine and two-microphone transfer function impedance tube methods. The effects of chemical modifications on the fibers were studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermal analyses of composites were conducted using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The composite’s functional group was identified and evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The sound absorption coefficient of untreated and treated composites across a range of frequencies was very similar. Untreated composites appeared to perform better than those that were treated. Compared with untreated fiber composites, there was an improvement in the tensile strength of the treated fiber composites. The SEM characterization showed that the alkaline treatment changed the morphology of the fibers, resulting in a decrease in the sound absorption coefficients of the composites. The thermal characterization of composites showed that dehydration and degradation of lignin occurred in a temperature range of 40 to 260 °C, and the maximum percentage of cellulose was found to decompose at 380 °C.
Hawkmoths (Heterocera: Sphingidae) diversity and status on selected vegetation types of a protected natural forest (Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary, San Isidro, Davao Oriental) and ecotourist area (Busay Garden Marilog District, Davao City) Philippines

Recent ecological studies give so much attention to biodiversity and conservation. As some initiative on conserving biodiversity, naturalistic landscape designs are incorporated to various holiday destinations offering extreme sport adventures, promoting tourism as source of income while preserving natural habitat. However, it is not impossible that an alteration will be made from the original habitat or even frequent exposure to various anthropogenic activities that causes disturbances may seriously affect sensitive species. This study measured diversity of hawkmoths in two selected sites with different vegetation types: 1) the Mt. Hamiguitan ranges (Natural and protected forest) Ecopark (site 1), Camp 3 (Site 2), Black Mountain (site 3) and study area 2: Busay Garden and Spring Resort. The sampling was carried out using 500w bulb light trapping method powered by a portable generator. A total of 305 individuals representing 22 species of hawkmoth from both sites were recorded. Shannon-Weiner indicates that Hawkmoths were more diverse in Busay Garden and Mt. Hamiguitan site 1 where diversity index were the same with H’=1.258. They have the same diversity indexes, but they differ on species richness (Hmax= 1.301 for site 1, Hmax=1.342 for site 4) and evennes with J=0.9672 for site 1(Ecopark) and J=0.937 for site 4(Busay Garden). Diversity of hawkmoths increases as elevation increases except for site 3 (H’=1.161) where the elevation was higher than site 2(H’=1.06). Bray-Curtis Similarity Index of hawkmoth in Busay Garden and the Eco-park of Mt. Hamiguitan have shown high (73%) species similarity. The diversity of hawkmoths was high at lower elevations and the results suggests that developing gardens into having more diverse host plants may promote higher species diversity. Further study on its implications with wider coverage and longer sampling duration is recommended.
Soil depth: an overriding factor for distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Present study deals with the distribution and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in naturally growing Withania somnifera and Ocimum sanctum. Variations in soil pH and moisture content (%) at different soil depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-40 cm) and their possible influences on AMF spore populations were studied at two sites i.e. Jaitpur and Karaiya. A total of 27 AMF species (8 Acaulospora, 1 Cetraspora, 1 Claroideoglomus, 1 Entrophospora, 1 Funneliformis, 13 Glomus, 1 Simiglomus and 1 Septoglomus) were identified. Results revealed that W. somnifera harbors relatively more AMF species (21) than O. sanctum (14). Acaulospora scrobiculata, Sep. deserticola and Sim. hoi dominated the rhizosphere of W. somnifera, while A. scrobiculata, Sep. deserticola and G. fasciculatum were predominant in O. sanctum. Spore populations, soil pH and moisture content varied significantly across soil depths. Moreover, the ability of soil to support AMF population decreased significantly with increased soil depth. Results clearly indicated the involvement of factor other than soil pH and moisture content in AMF distribution. Thus, it may be stated that overriding factor was depth, and this can be justified by fewer roots and fewer mycorrhizae in deeper soil layers.
PML Absorbing Boundary Condition for Non-linear Aeroacoustics Problems

Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition for the compressible nonlinear Navier-Stokes equation is derived. It follows the essential steps used in the derivation of PML for the non-linear Euler equation which is now a special case of the current PML formulation. The PML is also given in the conservation form for its easy implementation in most existing codes in Computational Aeroacoustics and Computational Fluid Dynamics. Numerical examples of a viscous vortex transport and vortex shedding from a viscous flow over a circular cylinder are presented. Satisfactory results demonstrated that the proposed PML absorbing boundary condition is highly accurate, effective and numerically stable for non-linear viscous flow problems.
An Empirical Study of Some Astrological Factors in Relation to Dog Behaviour Differences by Statistical Analysis and Compared with Human Characteristics

A survey of 500 pedigree dogs was carried out in the Paris region. For each dog, six behavioural traits were determined and ten of their astro- logical traits were retained. A statistical interpretation of the possible relation- ships between the two sets of traits was performed based on permutation tests. Two strong associations were detected between the angular positions of Jupiter and the Sun, and the extraversion dominant trait. There were indications of other associations. These associations have a remarkable resemblance to the standard associations usually proposed in "human" astrology.
