Quetiapine versus haloperidol in the treatment of delirium: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial

Background: Atypical antipsychotic drugs may have low propensity to induce extrapyramidal side effects in delirious patients. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability between quetiapine and haloperidol in controlling delirious behavior. Methods: A 7-day prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2009 to April 2011 in medically ill patients with delirium. Measures used for daily assessment included the Delirium Rating Scale-revised-98 (DRS-R-98) and total sleep time. The Clinical Global Impression, Improvement (CGI–I) and the Modified (nine-item) Simpson– Angus Scale were applied daily. The primary outcome was the DRS-R-98 severity scores. The data were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. Results: Fifty-two subjects (35 males and 17 females) were randomized to receive 25–100 mg/day of quetiapine (n = 24) or 0.5–2.0 mg/day of haloperidol (n = 28). Mean (standard deviation) doses of quetiapine and haloperidol were 67.6 (9.7) and 0.8 (0.3) mg/day, respectively. Over the trial period, means (standard deviation) of the DRS-R-98 severity scores were not significantly different between the quetiapine and haloperidol groups ( − 22.9 [6.9] versus − 21.7 [6.7]; P = 0.59). The DRS-R-98 noncognitive and cognitive subscale scores were not significantly different. At end point, the response and remission rates, the total sleep time, and the Modified (nine-item) Simpson–Angus scores were also not significantly different between groups. Hypersomnia was common in the quetiapine-treated patients (33.3%), but not significantly higher than that in the haloperidol-treated group (21.4%). Limitations: Patients were excluded if they were not able to take oral medications, and the sample size was small. Conclusion: Low-dose quetiapine and haloperidol may be equally effective and safe for controlling delirium symptoms.
NEWS CLASSIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATION USING NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFIER

: News publishers have decreased spreading news through conventional newspapers and have migrated to the use of digital media. Therefore, there exists a large amount of information being stored in the electronic format which needs to be classified into different categories because there may be present some sensitive data which is not suitable for specific age group. In this project, machine learning algorithms are used for classifying news by using a dataset. By evaluating the accuracy of Linear regression, Naive Bayes algorithm, Logistic regression and Decision tree algorithm and performing comparative analysis of all mentioned algorithms we are going to select the algorithm which provides the maximum accuracy. Also suggesting news articles to the online news reader based on the similarity of a news article with the news they are reading or proposing news articles based on the interest of news reader subjected from their previous readings and the feedback of the reader. After implementing and comparing the accuracy of all Machine Learning models, Naive Bayes Model gave the highest accuracy and lower error percentage. So, Naive Bayes Model is used for training the model and to get required result.
Prevalence and correlates of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in Korean college students

Background: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) persists into adulthood in a high proportion of cases, causing social difficulties and affective problems. We evaluated the prevalence of symptoms of ADHD and the correlates thereof in Korean college students. Methods: A total of 2,172 college students, stratified to reflect geographical differences, were asked to complete self-report questionnaires on ADHD symptoms, depression, and related factors. Results: ADHD symptoms were found in 7.6% of college students. Univariate analysis revealed that younger students had higher rates of ADHD symptoms than did older students. We found significant associations between ADHD symptoms and problematic alcohol use, depression, and lifetime suicidal behavior. Multivariate analysis revealed that ADHD symptoms in adults were significantly associated with depression (odds ratio [OR] = 4.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.23–6.80; P , 0.001) and overweight or obesity (OR = 1.50; 95% CI 1.02–2.22; P = 0.040), after controlling for sex and age. Conclusion: These results have implications in terms of the mental health interventions required to assess problems such as depression, alcohol use, obesity, and suicidality in young adults with ADHD symptoms.

NO . 818 FAMILY STRUCTURE , FERTILITY AND CHILD QUALITY IN COLOMBIA

This paper analyzes how family structure and fertility alter children quality in Colombia. Reduced form models to determine marital status of women and number of children ever born are estimated considering factors that affect women's bargaining powers inside the marriage. Tentative estimates of structural interdependence between these variables and children outcomes are outlined, revealing that marriage has a positive link with child quality and fertility has a negative link with child quality. Colombian national household survey data at rural and urban levels are used for the estimations. JEL CLASSIFICATION CODES: J00, J12, J13
Study and design of new encryption primitives based on rank metric error correcting codes

In the 1990s, Gabidulin, Paramonov and Tretjakov proposed a McEliece type encryption system based on the difficulty of decoding a linear metric rank code [1]. Since the complexity of decoding in rank-metric is exponentially more expensive with fixed parameters than Hamming metric decoding, the use of this metric allows to design encryption systems with more compact keys. The underlying code family used is the Gabidulin code family. One of the objectives of this thesis is to study and design new primitives encryption using rank metric codes. To do this, we will study the structure of a new family of codes, derived from the Gabidulin codes. In 2005, Faure and Loidreau proposed a new rankmetric cryptosystem [2] inspired from the Hamming metric scheme of Augot-Finiasz in 2003. In 2018, it was broken by the attack of Gaborit, Otmani and Kalachi [3]. Recently, there are some attempts of repairing the Faure-Loidreau scheme, for example the work of Renner, Puchinger and Wachter–Zeh which is called LIGA [4]. In this thesis, we also introduce a new cryptosystem so-called RAMESSES [5] which is another repairing of Faure-Loidreau scheme. Besides, we also study about the recent attack of Coggia and Couveur [6] in the Loidreau’s cryptosystem (2017) [7] . Although they only propose an idea for a special case of the dimension of secret subspace, this attack can be generalized. In this thesis, we propose an analysis of Coggia-Couvreur attack on Loidreau’s rank-metric public-key encryption scheme in the general case. The last part is a study about the decoding of the sum of Gabidulin codes which is inspired from the work of Loidreau in 2005 "Welch-Berlekamp Like Algorithm for Decoding Gabidulin Codes" [8]. This work is also an attempt to repair the Loidreau’s cryptosystem (2017) to avoid the Coggia-Couveur’s attack.
Fast Algorithms for Distributed k-Clustering with Outliers

In this paper, we study the k -clustering problems with outliers in distributed setting. The current best results for the distributed k -center problem with outliers have quadratic local running time with communication cost dependent on the aspect ratio ∆ of the given instance, which may constraint the scalability of the algorithms for handling large-scale datasets. To achieve better communication cost for the problem with faster local running time, we propose an inliers-recalling sampling method, which avoids guessing the optimal radius of the given instance, and can achieve a 4-round bi-criteria (14(1+ (cid:15) ) , 1+ (cid:15) ) -approximation with linear local running time in the data size and communication cost independent of the aspect ratio. To obtain a more practical algorithm for the problem, we propose another space-narrowing sampling method, which automatically adjusts the sample size to adapt to different outliers distributions on each machine, and can achieve a 2-round bi-criteria (14(1 + (cid:15) ) , 1 + (cid:15) ) -approximation with communication cost independent of the number of outliers. We show that, if the data points are randomly partitioned across machines, our proposed sampling-based methods can be extended to the k -median/means problems with outliers, and can achieve ( O ( 1 (cid:15) 2 ) , 1 + (cid:15) ) -approximation with communication cost independent of the number of outliers. Empirical experiments suggest that the proposed 2-round distributed algorithms outperform other state-of-the-art algorithms.
Clustering of Data Streams

We consider the problem of clustering data streams. A data stream can roughly be thought of as a transient, continuously increasing sequence of time-stamped data. In order to maintain an up-to-date clustering structure, it is necessary to analyze the incoming data in an online manner, tolerating but a constant time delay. For this purpose, we develop an efficient online version of the classical K-means method. Our algorithm’s efficiency is mainly due to a (discrete) Fourier transform of the original data, resulting both in a smoothing as well as a compression of these data.

Northern hemisphere atmospheric blocking in ice core accumulation records from northern Greenland

Figure 1: a) The 500-hPa geopotential height (shaded; m) and horizontal wind (vector; m/s) during the mature stage (3 February 1975) of the 28 January to 9 February 1975 blocking event that occurred in the North Atlantic region. Location of core sites (filled white circles) and EOF1 values of snow accumulation records from Greenland are also indicated. b) The corresponding time coefficients (PC1) and the mean snow accumulation of the five records represented in a). The PC1 was scaled to have the same mean and variance as the mean accumulation time series (mm w.e./yr = mm water equivalent per year). Atmospheric blocking is a large-scale, midlatitude atmospheric phenomenon often associated with persistent quasi-stationary, synoptic-scale, high-pressure systems. The formation, maintenance and collapse of atmospheric blocking cause large-scale circulation anomalies and strongly impact weather patterns. Therefore, blocking regimes constitute a significant climatological feature. Northern hemisphere blocking shows important variability at different timescales. Blocking frequencies have shown a downward (upward) trend over Atlantic and European (west Pacific) sectors. Superimposed on these linear trends, blocking frequencies show significant interannual and decadal variation (Barriopedro et al., 2006). However, in these studies, the blocking variability was derived over the relatively short time period covered by observational data with daily resolution. Here, we present the first attempt to directly relate interannual and decadal variability of several high-resolution snow accumulation records from northern Greenland with northern hemisphere atmospheric blocking. First, we investigate the relationship between atmospheric blocking and accumulation variability during the period covered by both accumulation and high-resolution (daily) observational data. Based on this relationship, we then discuss the blocking variability over the last 400 yr based only on the accumulation variability. As an example of blocking circulation, we present in Figure 1a the 500-hPa geopotential height (shaded) and horizontal wind (vectors) during the mature phase (3 February 1975) of the blocking event that occurred in the North Atlantic sector from 28 January to 9 February 1975 (Diao et al., 2006). It can be seen that large-scale westerly flow, which is strongly blocked et al., p. 24). Models can also be tested against past and present scenarios (van Oldenborgh, p. 26; Mudelsee and Girardin, p. 28), which again helps to improve climate predictability.
Mécanique et mésomécanique de l'écaille : Essais expérimentaux et critères de rupture : Etude d'un alliage d'aluminium et d'un acier de blindage

Le chargement dynamique d'un materiau peut provoquer, sous certaines conditions, son endommagement et sa rupture par le phenomene dit d'ecaillage. C'est le resultat de la mise en traction tres rapide d'une partie du materiau par le croisement de deux ondes de detente. Ce mode de rupture des metaux et alliages est sensible a la vitesse de deformation, a l'etat de contrainte, a l'histoire du chargement, a la temperature initiale et a la microstructure. En laboratoire, l'ecaillage d'un materiau peut etre obtenu, avec des conditions aux limites et des conditions initiales bien definies, a partir d'impact symetrique de plaque, ou un etat de deformation uniaxial est preponderant. Le dispositif experimental d'impact plaque sur plaque a ete concu au L. P. M. M. Dans le cadre de cette these. Il est constitue d'un lanceur a gaz entierement informatise et de son banc de mesure. Ce dispositif a permis de determiner la contrainte seuil d'ecaillage pour plusieurs temps de chargement de deux materiaux. Afin de mieux comprendre la cinetique de formation de la surface libre d'ecaillage (amorcage, croissance et coalescence de microfissures), de nombreuses observations des sections de cible au microscope optique et des plans d'ecaillage au microscope electronique a balayage ont ete faites. Les effets de la temperature initiale sur la contrainte seuil d'ecaillage et notamment la presence d'une transition fragile-ductile sont analysees par le biais d'une etude bibliographique. L'ensemble des donnees experimentales et bibliographiques ont permis de modifier un premier critere base sur la statistique de Boltzmann et l'activation thermique, propose par Klepaczko. Les observations mesoscopiques des sections de cibles ecaillees ont permis grace a une analyse plus approfondie de supposer que deux mecanismes principaux, l'amorcage fragile et la coalescence par cisaillement (plasticite), sont a l'origine de la rupture finale de l'eprouvette. Une analyse statistique de la participation de ces deux mecanismes a la rupture finale est a la base d'un nouveau critere, plus proche des mesomecanismes en jeux sans entrer dans la complexite des modeles microstatistiques. Ces resultats ont apportes des elements de reponses qui serviront a la modelisation et a la simulation des problemes d'ecaillage mais aussi de rupture dynamique en general.
Semantics of an Effect Analysis for Exceptions

We give a semantics to a polymorphic effect analysis that tracks possibly-thrown exceptions and possible non-termination for a higher-order language. The semantics is defined using partial equivalence relations over a standard monadic, domain-theoretic model of the original language and establishes the correctness of both the analysis itself and of the contextual program transformations that it enables.
game driver maze : mzbase main : program base maze : mzbase maze : mzbase main : program

We present aspect-oriented programming in Jiazzi. Jiazzi enhances Java with separately compiled, externally linked code modules calledunits. Units can act as effective “aspect” constructs with the ability to separate crosscutting concern code in a non-invasiveandsafeway. Unit linking provides a convenient way for programmers to explicitly control the inclusion and configuration of code that implements a concern, while separate compilation of units enhances the independent development and deployment of the concern. The expressiveness of concern separation is enhanced by units in two ways. First, classes can be made open to the addition of new behavior, fields, and methods after they are initially defined, which enables the direct modularization of concerns whose code crosscut object boundaries. Second, the signatures of methods and classes can also be made open to refinement, which permits more aggressive modularization by isolating the naming and calling requirements of a concern implementation.
Compatibility of stormwater treatment performance data between different geographical areas

Using a case study approach, this paper presents a robust methodology for assessing the compatibility of stormwater treatment performance data between two geographical regions in relation to a treatment system. The desktop analysis compared data derived from a field study undertaken in Florida, USA, with South East Queensland (SEQ) rainfall and pollutant characteristics. The analysis was based on the hypothesis that when transposing treatment performance information from one geographical region to another, detailed assessment of specific rainfall and stormwater quality parameters is required. Accordingly, characteristics of measured rainfall events and stormwater quality in the Florida study were compared with typical characteristics for SEQ. Rainfall events monitored in the Florida study were found to be similar to events that occur in SEQ in terms of their primary characteristics of depth, duration and intensity. Similarities in total suspended solids (TSS) and total nitrogen (TN) concentration ranges for Florida and SEQ suggest that TSS and TN removal performances would not be very different if the treatment system is installed in SEQ. However, further investigations are needed to evaluate the treatment performance of total phosphorus (TP). The methodology presented also allows comparison of other water quality parameters.
Effect of different packaging materials on postharvest quality of cv. Envie2 strawberry

Strawberry fruits require appropriate storage technology to maintain post harvest quality. In order to improve the shelf-life and to reduce the decrease of qualitative and nutraceutical characteristics the effects of different packaging conditions were observed comparing biobased and polypropylene perforated films. Sample units of 0,250 Kg strawberries cv. Envie2 flowpacked have been stored under two different conditions: in cool room at +2°C for 96 hours (like in an ideal supply chain) and in a cool room at +2°C for 48 h followed by storage at room temperature (+20°C) up to 96 hours from start. Fruits packed with biobased film and stored at +2°C showed the better results to preserve the qualitative traits maintaining the best headspace composition (%) for all the storage time.
The association, clinicopathological significance, and diagnostic value of CDH1 promoter methylation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis of 23 studies

Epithelial cadherin (encoded by the CDH1 gene) is a tumor suppressor glycoprotein that plays a role in the invasion and metastasis of human cancers. As previous studies regarding the association between CDH1 promoter methylation and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have yielded inconsistent conclusions, a meta-analysis was performed. A systematic literature review was undertaken from four databases: PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Finally, a total of 23 studies (including 1,727 cases of HNSCC and 555 normal controls) were included in the present study. Our results showed that the frequency of CDH1 promoter methylation in HNSCC was statistically greater than in controls (odds ratio [OR] =5.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.36–10.51, P<0.001). In reported cases of HNSCC, CDH1 promoter methylation was statistically associated with tumor stage (OR =0.46, 95% CI: 0.27–0.78, P=0.004) and a history of alcohol consumption (OR =6.04, 95% CI: 2.41–15.14, P<0.001). Moreover, the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve of the summary receiver operator characteristic for the included studies were 0.50 (95% CI: 0.4–0.61), 0.89 (95% CI: 0.79–0.95), and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.70–0.78), respectively. In conclusion, our meta-analyses indicated that CDH1 promoter methylation was associated with HNSCC risk, and may be utilized as a valuable diagnostic biomarker for HNSCC.
Author ' s personal copy Research Report The IKEA effect : When labor leads to love

In four studies in which consumers assembled IKEA boxes, folded origami, and built sets of Legos, we demonstrate and investigate boundary conditions for the IKEA effect—the increase in valuation of self-made products. Participants saw their amateurish creations as similar in value to experts' creations, and expected others to share their opinions. We show that labor leads to love only when labor results in successful completion of tasks; when participants built and then destroyed their creations, or failed to complete them, the IKEA effect dissipated. Finally, we show that labor increases valuation for both “do-it-yourselfers” and novices. © 2011 Society for Consumer Psychology. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
