Jason Interpreter, Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise edition of the Java platform has been endorsed by both small and large enterprises, as it enables the development of large-scale, reliable, and secure software solutions. In the world of agent development, on the other hand, AgentSpeak, and its practical interpreter Jason, represent one of the most popular tools for writing complex, reasoning agents. This paper presents a framework that integrates the two approaches to distributed software development, and supports a seamless deployment of Jason agents in enterprise environments. The proposed framework o ers many technical advantages, including automated agent load-balancing and fault-tolerance. The end-goal of this research, however, is to try and bridge the gap between the agent technology and modern enterprise applications.
‘Producing different knowledge and producing knowledge differently’: rethinking physical education research and practice through participatory visual methods

Drawing on data from a three-year Participatory Action Research project, undertaken with 41 teenage girls within and beyond the boundaries of a designated disadvantaged urban school, this article is an effort to critique the use of participatory methods as a means of producing different knowledge, and producing knowledge differently with students. In pursuit of this aim, we work to introduce participatory methods and the theoretical grounding of these methods; share our participants' perspectives on their engagement with two participatory methods, namely photovoice and timelines; and we also critique the value of these methods. We conclude this article with a discussion of the benefits and the challenges associated with the use of the participatory methods and present some implications for physical education research and practice.
Masculinities and Crimes Against the Environment

This article argues from a green perspective that criminology has failed adequately to address either the environment or masculinities. It explores elements of `car culture' such as `joyriding' and `road rage' as well as protests against road-building and the car. Using methods drawn from cultural studies and Sumner's concept of censure, it seeks a more holistic criminology and crime policy.
A salutogenic approach to healing following child sexual assault

Decades of research has now produced a rich description of the destruction child sexual assault (CSA) can cause in an individual’s life. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dissociative Identity Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, anxiety, Panic Disorder, intimacy issues, substance abuse, self-harm, and suicidal ideation and attempts, are some of the negative outcomes that have been attributed to this type of traumatic experience. Psychology's tendency to dwell within a pathological paradigm, along with popular media who espouse a similar rhetoric, would lead to the belief that once exposed to CSA, an individual is forever at the mercy of dealing with a massive array of accompanying negative effects. While the possibility of these outcomes in those who have experienced CSA is not at all denied, it is also timely to consider an alternative paradigm that up until now has received a paucity of attention in the sexual assault literature. That is to say, not only do people have the ability to work through the painful and personal impacts of CSA, but for some people the process of recovery may provide a catalyst for positive life changes that have been termed post-traumatic growth (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995). To begin with in this chapter, the negative sequale’ of childhood sexual assault it discussed initially. Inherent to this discussion are questions of measurement and definitions of sexual assault. The chapter highlights ways in which the term CSA has been defined and hence operationalised in research, and the myriad problems, confusions, and inconclusive findings that have plagued the sexual assault literature. Following this is a review of the sparse literature that has conceptualised CSA from a more salutogenic (Antonovsky, 1979) theoretical orientation. It is argued that a salutogenic approach to intervention and to research in this area, provides a more useful way of promoting healing and the gaining of wisdom, but importantly does not negate the very real distress that may accompany growth. This chapter will then present a case study to elucidate the theoretical and empirical literature discussed using the words of a survivor. Finally, the chapter concludes with implications for therapeutic practice, which includes some practical ways in which to promote adaptation to life within the context of having survived this insidious crime.
Macroclimate and viticultural zoning in Europe: observed trends and atmospheric forcing

Temperature and precipitation are major forcing factors influencing grapevine phe- nology and yield, as well as wine quality. Bioclimatic indices describing the suitability of a partic- ular region for wine production are a commonly used tool for viticultural zoning. For this research these indices were computed for Europe by using the E-OBS gridded daily temperature and pre- cipitation data set for the period from 1950 to 2009. Results showed strong regional contrasts based on the different index patterns and reproduced the wide diversity of local conditions that largely explain the quality and diversity of grapevines being grown across Europe. Owing to the strong inter-annual variability in the indices, a trend analysis and a principal component analysis were applied together with an assessment of their mean patterns. Significant trends were identi- fied in the Winkler and Huglin indices, particularly for southwestern Europe. Four statistically sig- nificant orthogonal modes of variability were isolated for the Huglin index (HI), jointly represent- ing 82% of the total variance in Europe. The leading mode was largely dominant (48% of variance) and mainly reflected the observed historical long-term changes. The other 3 modes cor- responded to regional dipoles within Europe. Despite the relevance of local and regional climatic characteristics to grapevines, it was demonstrated via canonical correlation analysis that the observed inter-annual variability of the HI was strongly controlled by the large-scale atmospheric circulation during the growing season (April to September).
The Joys and Justice of Housework

This paper investigates husbands' and wives' perceptions of fairness of the domestic division of labour. Using data from a recent national Australian survey, the paper shows that 59 per cent of women report that the division of labour in the home is fair even though they also report responsibility for the bulk of the work. On the other hand, 68 per cent of men report that the division of household labour is fair. Drawing on Thompson's distributive justice framework, the paper analyses the factors underlying these patterns in relation to perceptions of fairness of childcare and housework. The results show that, for both men and women, the key factor determining perceptions of fairness is the division of tasks between men and women. The amount of time spent on domestic labour is also significant, but is less important than who does what around the home. There is little support for other hypotheses relating to gender role attitudes, time spent in paid work and financial power. The conclusion examines these findings in light of the distributive justice framework and considers their implications for understanding perceptions of fairness in households.
Adverse birth outcomes among Mexican-Americans: are US-born women at greater risk than Mexico-born women?

OBJECTIVE We examined adverse birth outcomes among Mexican-Americans to determine the effect of country of maternal birth, a measure of acculturation. DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of birth outcomes among 4800 Mexico-born and 4800 US-born Mexican-American women using Washington State birth certificate data from 1989 to 1994. Length of residence at current address was used to help refine our measure of acculturation. RESULTS US-born women had a slightly increased risk of preterm birth relative to Mexico-born women [relative risk (RR) 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.33]. Among Mexico-born women, the risk of preterm birth increased with greater duration of current residence. CONCLUSIONS US-born Mexican-American women had a slightly increased risk of preterm birth despite having more adequate prenatal care, more education, and higher socioeconomic indicators. This may be due to acculturation factors, such as earlier pregnancy, loss of social support systems, and increased smoking or alcohol use. Reducing this risk depends on recognition among health care workers and policy-makers of the potential influence of acculturation on health in this population.
NC Effective Gauge Model for Multilayer FQH States

We develop an effective field model for describing FQH states with rational filling factors that are not of Laughlin type. These kinds of systems, which concern single layer hierarchical states and multilayer ones, were observed experimentally; but have not yet a satisfactory non commutative effective field description like in the case of Susskind model. Using D brane analysis and fiber bundle techniques, we first classify such states in terms of representations characterized, amongst others, by the filling factor of the layers; but also by proper subgroups of the underlying U(n) gauge symmetry. Multilayer states in the lowest Landau level are interpreted in terms of systems of D2 branes; but hierarchical ones are realized as Fiber bundles on D2 which we construct explicitly. In this picture, Jain and Haldane series are recovered as special cases and have a remarkable interpretation in terms of Fiber bundles with specific intersection matrices. We also derive the general NC commutative effective field and matrix models for FQH states, extending Susskind theory, and give the general expression of the rational filling factors as well as their non abelian gauge symmetries.
The Social Construction of Meaning: reading literature in urban English classrooms

John Yandell’s book is remarkable in the way it uses ethnographic observation of classroom discourse to make an eloquent argument for students’ authentic, embodied engagement with and response to their reading. He addresses the teaching of literature in urban classrooms – which he defines as those characterised by a multi-cultural, multilingual, predominantly working-class student population whose families experience high levels of poverty. He thus sets up at the start an implied contrast between the context of much literary production and that of literary reception in urban schools. He does not argue for inherent qualities in literary texts that give them possibilities of learning and development in the context of schooling, but rather for kinds of engagement with these texts that construct such possibilities. His study thus finds a pragmatic way between those who would argue that the teacher’s role is to convey the intrinsic qualities of literature to urban students and those who would argue that literary culture is inappropriate to students in such contexts.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Overview of Diagnosis and Treatment

Objective: To provide an overview of literature on the diagnosis and rehabilitation of adults following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method: A comprehensive systematic search identified current literature in TBI diagnosis and rehabilitation interventions. Included studies were examined to identify current standards for diagnostic criteria for TBI in clinical and research contexts, and to present evidence for rehabilitation treatments in TBI. Results: Strong agreement exists for a diagnosis of TBI in the presence of post traumatic amnesia (PTA) following head trauma; and that Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 9-12 is moderate TBI, and GCS of 3-8 is severe TBI. There is no agreement for whether GCS of 13 should be mild or moderate TBI; which GCS to use to grade TBI severity; which clinical feature (aside from PTA) indicates a diagnosis of mild TBI; and whether imaging findings should be incorporated into diagnostic criteria for TBI and for severity grading. Nomenclature for TBI type in the literature remains disorganised, which is problematic for TBI research. There is strong evidence for effectiveness of psychological interventions such as attention training and cognitive interventions after TBI; nutritional support for improved survival and disability outcomes and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for reduction of risk of death after TBI. There is moderate evidence for cognitive behaviour therapy for managing stress after mild TBI. For all other interventions the evidence is limited or insufficient due to lack of studies in the area. Conclusion: Clear diagnostic criteria for TBI could improve management using targeted therapies. More robust trials in TBI treatments are needed to build evidence for effectiveness of rehabilitation.
Necdin is a breast cancer metastasis suppressor that regulates the transcription of c-Myc

Metastasis is the primary cause of death in breast cancer. Earlier studies using a mammary tumorigenesis mouse model identified Necdin (Ndn) as a germline modifier of metastasis. Differential expression of Ndn induces a gene-expression signature that predicts prognosis in human breast cancer. Additionally, a non-synonymous germline single nucleotide polymorphism (T50C; V17A) in Ndn distinguishes mouse strains with differing metastatic capacities. To better understand how hereditary factors influence metastasis in breast cancer, we characterized NDN-mediated transcription. Haplotype analysis in a well-characterized breast cancer cohort revealed that NDN germline variation is associated with both NDN expression levels and patient outcome. To examine the role of NDN in mammary tumor metastasis and transcriptional regulation, mouse mammary tumor cell lines stably over-expressing either the wildtype 50T or variant 50C Ndn allele were generated. Cells over-expressing Ndn 50T, but not Ndn 50C, exhibited significant decrease in cell invasiveness and pulmonary metastases compared to control cells. Transcriptome analyses identified a 71-gene expression signature that distinguishes cells over-expressing the two Ndn allelic variants. Furthermore, ChIP assays revealed c-Myc, a target gene of NDN, to be differentially regulated by the allelic variants. These data demonstrate that NDN and the T50C allele regulate gene expression and metastasis efficiency.
Costs in Searching for Two Targets: Dividing Search Across Target Types Could Improve Airport Security Screening

The cost of searching for two visual targets simultaneously was compared against two separate single-target searches using exposure time and accuracy measures within a staircase procedure. Dual-target search for all stimuli (colour, shape and orientation) exhibited a loss of accuracy for one target. For orientation and shape, this dual-target cost in accuracy was extreme, with chance-level performance on one target. For colour, dual-target search exhibited an additional cost in search time, with search requiring a longer exposure than the summed time required for two single-target searches. An additional search-time cost was also found for orientation targets when irrelevant colour variation was added to the display. In conclusion, dual-target search for dissimilar targets is accompanied by an accuracy cost. Furthermore, colour variation, whether task-relevant or not, leads to an additional cost in processing speed. The results suggest that a divided-effort strategy would improve performance in search tasks such as X-ray baggage screening.
Missing Connexions: The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom

Airports have recently become a central preoccupation for scholars concerned with a range of issues in the social sciences and the wider academy focused around governance and the modern nation state, philosophy, political economy, economics, geography, society and community. There is, however, little critical scholarly interest in what can be learned about management and organisation from airports, which has meant that our discipline is ceding ground to unitarist and highly functional, prescriptive and practitioner-oriented literature. One of the most significant critical challenges to this managerial orthodoxy is the recent work of Griggs and Howarth who adopt the theoretical resources of Laclau and Mouffe to advance their thesis that a discourse built around ‘sustainable aviation’ is established within public policy in an attempt to develop ‘hegemonic’ consensus around airport expansion. Laclau and Mouffe have been a significant influence on organisation studies, but when applied empirically their work is discovered to embody contradictions and tensions that prove ultimately self-defeating for those interested in developing a ‘critical’ politics of organisation. We consider the possibilities for a more critical and politically engaged form of organisation analysis based upon what we call here an ‘interventionary ethnography’.
Agrammatism in polish: A case study

Abstract In the light of continuing disagreement as to the nature of agrammatisrn in Broca's aphasia, the purpose of the present investigation was to probe further into this syndrome in a case study of a Polish-speaking agrammatic aphasic with left-hemisphere damage of cerebro-vascular origin. The patient's production, comprehension and grammatical judgement abilities were investigated in a variety of tasks. Supplementary information (writing, reading, repeating and naming) was also elicited. Results do not warrant a production versus comprehension dichotomy, but the patient's performances exhibited a clear dissociation between marked syntactic and mild morphological disruptions. Performance patterns across tasks showed that at least some aspects of syntax and semantics were exploited and that normal computational heuristics, as well as compensatory strategies, were applied.
Groß in Facebook, klein im Gehirn?

Soziale Netzwerke wie Facebook oder Google+ sind aus der Lebenswelt vieler junger Menschen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Man sitzt sich beim Rendezvous im Cafe gegenüber und schaut sich nicht mehr gegenseitig in die Augen, sondern jeder schaut für sich auf sein Smartphone, vielleicht um seinen Freunden rasch zu twittern, wie toll das Rendezvous gerade ist. Noch vor wenigen Jahren waren online soziale Netzwerke (vom Englischen online social networks) mit einigen zehnoder hunderttausend Mitgliedern vergleichsweise klein und hatten Namen wie TeamUlm oder Studi-VZ. Letzteres wurde für 80 Millionen Euro von einem Verlag aufgekauft, der wenig später erkennen musste, dass er das Geld auch hätte verbrennen können: Die kleinen wurden von den eingangs erwähnten weltumspannenden großen Netzwerken abgelöst, deren Mitgliederzahl sich nach Hunderten von Millionen bemessen. Kunststück, möchte man meinen: Menschen werden seit Aristoteles als zoon politikon, als Gemeinschaftswesen, beschrieben; und so kann es gar nicht wundern, dass die junge Generation die Technik aufgreift, die es ihr ermöglicht, diese nur allzu menschliche Eigenschaft endlich zur vollen Entfaltung zu bringen. So zumindest wird es uns von einer breiten Schar internetgläubiger oder sollte ich sagen: internetsüchtiger Experten oder sollte ich sagen: vermeintlicher Experten alltäglich berichtet (oder vorgebetet? ). Was ist daran wahr? Was sagt die Wissenschaft, was die Gehirnforschung? Eine Gruppe von Wissenschaftlern an der US-amerikanischen Stanford Universität (13) ging der Frage nach, wie sich die Nutzung von sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook bei 3 461 Mädchen im Alter von acht bis zwölf Jahren auf die in Entwicklung befindlichen Werte und Emotionen auswirkt. Man wandte sich mit einer Online-Umfrage zur Mediennutzung und zum Sozialverhalten an über eine Million junge Leserinnen des Magazins Discovery Girl in allen 50 Staaten der USA. Weil sich in der befragten Gruppe ein vergleichbarer Gebrauch von Handy und Internet zeigte wie in anderen Studien zuvor, die in der Allgemeinbevölkerung durchgeführt worden waren (16, 18), kann von einer hohen Repräsentativität der Daten ausgegangen werden. Im Durchschnitt betrug die Zeit der Mediennutzung 6,9 Stunden pro Tag. Ja, Sie lesen richtig: Bei 8bis 12-jährigen Mädchen!
Influence de l'induction des processus d'autorégulation sur le rendement à une tâche cognitive.

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether inducing self-regulatory processes through a concurrent verbal report technique could improve the performance of adult participants on a concept formation task. This technique consists of instructing participants to state explicitly the reasons underlying each of the steps employed in the process of resolving a task. Moreover, according to Lefebvre-Pinard and Pinard's (in press) model, self-regulatory processes should be optimized when individuals have access to external feedback indicating success or failure of their cognitive enterprise. To examine and dissociate the respective effect of these two factors, the participants were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions in a 2 (with or without concurrent report) X 2 (with or without feedback) crossed design. Results indicated that participants who made a concurrent report showed a better performance than those who did not. On the other hand, the presence of feedback seemed to hinder performance. These results are discussed in relation to the recent model of metacognition proposed by Lefebvre-Pinard and Pinard (in press).
The dynamic architecture of photoreceptor ribbon synapses: Cytoskeletal, extracellular matrix, and intramembrane proteins

Abstract Rod and cone photoreceptors possess ribbon synapses that assist in the transmission of graded light responses to second-order bipolar and horizontal cells of the vertebrate retina. Proper functioning of the synapse requires the juxtaposition of presynaptic release sites immediately adjacent to postsynaptic receptors. In this review, we focus on the synaptic, cytoskeletal, and extracellular matrix proteins that help to organize photoreceptor ribbon synapses in the outer plexiform layer. We examine the proteins that foster the clustering of release proteins, calcium channels, and synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic terminals of photoreceptors adjacent to their postsynaptic contacts. Although many proteins interact with one another in the presynaptic terminal and synaptic cleft, these protein–protein interactions do not create a static and immutable structure. Instead, photoreceptor ribbon synapses are remarkably dynamic, exhibiting structural changes on both rapid and slow time scales.
