Sexercising to orgasm: Embodied pedagogy and sexual labour in women’s magazines

Positioned as the ‘peak’ of sexual experience, orgasm is packed with sociocultural meaning. Exploring the construction of orgasm in Cosmopolitan magazine in the context of the shift towards a postfeminist sexuality and the neoliberal shift towards the rational management of sex as work, this article argues that magazines offer a ‘pedagogy of the body’ by teaching women to: (1) become aware of how to touch their body; (2) strengthen muscles and master bodily responses; (3) position the body and understand how male and female bodies fit together, and (4) instruct men in how to interact with female bodies. Postfeminist, neoliberal and pedagogical discourses merge to offer explicit instruction in how to develop a ‘technology of sexiness’ by training the body to ensure orgasmic success.
HUBUNGAN ANTARA KECENDERUNGAN PERILAKU MENGAKSES SITUS PORNO DAN RELIGIUSITAS PADA REMAJA

The main purpose of this research is to see the correlations between tendency to access porn site and religiousity in adolescent. Total research subject is 83 users of Cupido and Intersat Nusantara Cyber Cafe. Research variables are measured by scale method, those are Tendency to Access Porn Site Scale which consists 48 items composed by researcher herself and Religiousity Scale by Turmudhi (1991). Religiousity Scale consists of 2 part, the first part contains 68 items with 12 pairs identical item for consistency test (not used for further analysis) and the second part contains 27 items specially for intellectual dimension from religiousity. The Product Moment analysis results that there’s significant negative correlation between tendency to access porn site and religiousity (rxy = -0.208; p = 0.029, p′0.05). Which means, the more adolescent religious, the less tendency to access porn site and viceversa, while religiousity gives effective contribution to tendency to access porn site for about 4.3%. The t– test shows that the difference tendency to access porn site between male and female adolescent is quite significant ( XL = 109.04 ∃ XP = 85.97, t = 5.221; p =0.000, p′0.01). It means, male adolescent has higher tendency to access porn site than female adolescent. Keywords: access porn site, religiousity, adolescent.
Who Do They Think They’re Talking To? Framings of the Audience by Social Media Users

This article examines the understandings and meanings of personal information sharing online using a predominantly symbolic interactionist analytic perspective and focusing on writers’ conceptions of their relationships with their audiences. It draws on an analysis of in-depth interviews with 23 personal bloggers. They were found to have limited interest in gathering information about their audiences, appearing to assume that readers are sympathetic. A comprehensive and grounded typology of imagined relationships with audiences was devised. Although their blogs were all public, some interviewees appeared to frame their blogging practice as primarily self-directed, with their potential audiences playing a marginal role. These factors provide one explanation for some forms of potentially risky self-exposure observed among social media users.
Role of Interestingness Measures in CAR Rule Ordering for Associative Classifier: An Empirical Approach

Associative Classifier is a novel technique which is the integration of Association Rule Mining and Classification. The difficult task in building Associative Classifier model is the selection of relevant rules from a large number of class association rules (CARs). A very popular method of ordering rules for selection is based on confidence, support and antecedent size (CSA). Other methods are based on hybrid orderings in which CSA method is combined with other measures. In the present work, we study the effect of using different interestingness measures of Association rules in CAR rule ordering and selection for associative classifier.
Impact de mise en application des IFRS sur la qualité de l'information financière: une étude internationale

Les etudes de l’impact des IFRS sur la qualite de l’information financiere produite pas les entreprises aboutissent a des resultats divergents. Certaines constatent que les IFRS en ameliorent la qualite. D’autres considerent que les IFRS offrent une trop grande latitude aux gestionnaires, ce qui menace la qualite de l’information. Ces divergences sont en partie dues a un probleme d’endogeneite ou il est difficile de distinguer si la qualite de l’information depend des normes elles-memes, de la facon dont elles sont appliquees ou de l’environnement institutionnel de gouvernance des entreprises. Depuis l’adoption quasi-universelle des IFRS, les normes comptables sont en theorie uniformes d’un pays a l’autre et independantes des systemes institutionnels nationaux. Cette etude tire parti du plan quasi-experimental qu’offre ce contexte pour distinguer l’impact des systemes legaux et politiques, jusque-la consideres comme principaux facteurs de qualite, de l’impact de la mise en application des normes comptables sur la fiabilite de l’information financieredes entreprises. Elle porte sur un echantillon de 4,807 societes cotees dans 30 pays, qui ont adopte les IFRS de facon obligatoire durant la periode 2005-2008. Nos resultats montrent que, lorsque les normes comptables sont uniformes et exogenes aux institutions nationales, la qualite de l’information financiere, telle que mesuree par la gestion des resultats, n’est pas influencee par les institutions legales et politiques comme le niveau de protection des investisseurs, la qualite de la gouvernance d’entreprise, l’interventionnisme politique dans l’economie et le developpement du marche des capitaux. Cependant, la richesse de l’environnement informationnel tel que mesuree par l’importance des medias et le suivi des analystes est significativement associee a la fiabilite de l’information. Finalement, une fois les IFRS adoptes, la facon dont les entreprises les appliquent est le principal facteur de qualite de l’information financiere publiee par les entreprises.
Primary Human Uterine Leiomyoma Cell Culture Quality Control: Some Properties of Myometrial Cells Cultured under Serum Deprivation Conditions in the Presence of Ovarian Steroids

Cell culture is considered the standard media used in research to emulate the in vivo cell environment. Crucial in vivo experiments cannot be conducted in humans and depend on in vitro methodologies such as cell culture systems. However, some procedures involving the quality control of cells in culture have been gradually neglected by failing to acknowledge that primary cells and cell lines change over time in culture. Thus, we report methods based on our experience for monitoring primary cell culture of human myometrial cells derived from uterine leiomyoma. We standardized the best procedure of tissue dissociation required for the study of multiple genetic marker systems that include species-specific antigens, expression of myofibroblast or myoblast markers, growth curve, serum deprivation, starvation by cell cycle synchronization, culture on collagen coated plates, and 17 β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) effects. The results showed that primary myometrial cells from patients with uterine leiomyoma displayed myoblast phenotypes before and after in vitro cultivation, and leiomyoma cells differentiated into mature myocyte cells under the appropriate differentiation-inducing conditions (serum deprivation). These cells grew well on collagen coated plates and responded to E2 and P4, which may drive myometrial and leiomyoma cells to proliferate and adhere into a focal adhesion complex involvement in a paracrine manner. The establishment of these techniques as routine procedures will improve the understanding of the myometrial physiology and pathogenesis of myometrium-derived diseases such as leiomyoma. Mimicking the in vivo environment of fibrotic conditions can prevent false results and enhance results that are based on cell culture integrity.
Developing a Survey to Determine Student Perceptions of Readiness at the Beginning of an Educational Leadership Program.

In this study, researchers developed a survey to determine student perceptions of readiness prior to entering an educational leadership program. The researchers analyzed and established the reliability and validity of the survey created to understand student readiness as they enter the program. The information garnered from this survey will help faculty in the program make instructional decisions based on the student feedback and will be used to provide suggestions to the faculty for program improvement. The results will also be used to contribute to program accreditation through the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). This study identified how trustworthy and dependable the instrument is in determining student perceptions of readiness for educational leadership based on present knowledge levels. A panel of experts from areas outside of the research population was used to establish content and face validity of the instrument. Internal consistency and reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha. Fifty-one survey scores were used from students enrolled in the educational leadership program across the Commonwealth of Virginia. The survey was given in July of this year.
Educational effectiveness research (EER): a state-of-the-art review

Research and scholarship into educational effectiveness research (EER) is comprehensively reviewed from the UK, The Netherlands, the US, Cyprus, Belgium, Sweden, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and other societies, dating from the field’s origins in the 1970s. Issues include its history, methodological and theoretical advances, scientific properties of school effects, processes at school and classroom level behind these effects, the somewhat limited translation of findings into policy and practice across the world, and future directions for research and practice in EER and for all of the discipline more generally. Future research needs are argued to be a further concentration upon teaching/teachers, more longitudinal studies, more work on possible context specificity, exploration of the cross-level transactions between schools and their teachers/classrooms, the adoption of “efficiency” as well as “effectiveness” as outcome measures, and a renewed focus upon the education of the disadvantaged, the original focus of our discipline when it began.
SEMIAUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS FOR IN-HOSPITAL EARLY DEFIBRILLATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Objectives: Semiautomated external defibrillators (AEDs) should be considered as a means to facilitate in-hospital early defibrillation (IHED) in areas where advanced life support rescuers are not readily available. In this study, we aimed to develop a checklist and a measurement protocol to evaluate and compare AEDs by assessing factors that may affect IHED. Methods: A clinical and technical comparison of six AEDs was performed. Technical specifications were analyzed, while an emergency team evaluated ergonomics and appropriateness for IHED at Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital. A measurement protocol was implemented, which aimed to assess the ability of defibrillators to recognize shockable and nonshockable rhythms, accuracy of delivered energy, and charging time. Results: Designs of AEDs differed in several features which influence their appropriateness for IHED. Some units showed poor ergonomics and instructions/feedback for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Differences between defibrillators in recognizing shockable and nonshockable rhythms emerged for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia waveforms and when the frequency and amplitude of input signals varied. Tests for accuracy revealed poor performances at low and high impedance levels for most AEDs. Notably, differences greater than 20 seconds were found in the time from power-on to “ready for discharge. ” Conclusions: The approach we used to assess AEDs allowed us to evaluate their appropriateness with respect to the organizational context, to measure their parameters, and to compare models. Results showed that ergonomics and/or performances (timing and accuracy) could be improved in each device.
Reactive oxygen species and melanoma: an explanation for gender differences in survival?

Epidemiological research consistently shows a female advantage in melanoma survival. So far, no definite candidate for the explanation of this phenomenon has emerged. We propose that gender differences in oxidative stress caused by radical oxygen species (ROS) underlie these survival differences. It is known that males express lower amounts of anti‐oxidant enzymes, resulting in more oxidative stress than females. The primary melanoma environment is characterized by high ROS levels, from exogenous sources as well as ROS production within melanoma cells themselves. ROS are known to be able to promote metastasis through a wide variety of mechanisms. We hypothesize that the higher levels of ROS in men enhance selection of ROS‐resistance in melanoma cells. Subsequently, ROS can stimulate the metastatic potential of melanoma cells. In addition, due to the lower anti‐oxidant defenses in men, ROS produced by melanoma cells cause more damage to healthy tissues surrounding the tumor, further stimulating metastasis. Therefore, ROS may explain the observed differences between males and females in melanoma survival.
Trunk extensor endurance: determination and relation to low-back trouble.

The strength and endurance of the trunk extensors were studied in relation to the extent of earlier low-back trouble (LBT) in a homogeneous, and occupationally active group consisting of 53 male postmen (occupational seniority > 2 years). The isometric endurance was measured (1) prone with the unsupported trunk in a horizontal position and the legs and hips fixated to a couch (couch method) and (2) standing, at 60% MVC (pulling test). The participants were divided into three groups according to the extent of previous LBT Group I, LBT to a degree that made work impossible; Group II, LBT experienced but not to the degree that work was hindered, and Group HI, LBT never experienced. The main findings were that isometric endurance time of the trunk extensors was shorter in Group I than in Groups II and III, while the strength of the trunk extensors was independent of the person's earlier low-back episodes The two methods for the determination of trunk extensor endurance were compared. It was shown that Method .
The microbial mimic poly IC induces durable and protective CD4+ T cell immunity together with a dendritic cell targeted vaccine

CD4+ Th1 type immunity is implicated in resistance to global infectious diseases. To improve the efficacy of T cell immunity induced by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccines, we are developing a protein-based approach that directly harnesses the function of dendritic cells (DCs) in intact lymphoid tissues. Vaccine proteins are selectively delivered to DCs by antibodies to DEC-205/CD205, a receptor for antigen presentation. We find that polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid (poly IC) independently serves as an adjuvant to allow a DC-targeted protein to induce protective CD4+ T cell responses at a mucosal surface, the airway. After two doses of DEC-targeted, HIV gag p24 along with poly IC, responder CD4+ T cells have qualitative features that have been correlated with protective function. The T cells simultaneously make IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-2, and in high amounts for prolonged periods. The T cells also proliferate and continue to secrete IFN-γ in response to HIV gag p24. The adjuvant role of poly IC requires Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 and melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5 (MDA5) receptors, but its analog poly IC12U requires only TLR3. We suggest that poly IC be tested as an adjuvant with DC-targeted vaccines to induce numerous multifunctional CD4+ Th1 cells with proliferative capacity.
Does intravenous tranexamic acid reduce blood loss during surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion?

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss during surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) procedure. Subjects and Methods: A total of 34 patients (12 male, 22 female) who had been treated surgically under general anesthesia with SARPE including pterygoid disjunction for transverse maxillary deficiency (TMD) were included in this study. The study group (n=17) received intravenous (IV) TXA 10 mg/kg as a preoperative bolus; the control group (n=17) received normal saline solution. Preoperative and postoperative haemoglobin and haematocrit values, intraoperative blood loss, and any blood product transfusion were recorded. Results: Blood loss during SARPE was statistically significantly less in the study group than the control group (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Preoperative IV administration of TXA can effectively control blood loss during when SARPE with pterygoid disjunction is performed.
Recommendations for collection of laboratory specimens associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis.

Recent discoveries have implicated a number of "new" (i.e., previously unrecognized) infectious agents as important causes of outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Unfortunately, the ability to detect these agents in an outbreak can be limited by two factors: 1) the lack of appropriate assays-many of which are still in developmental stages and are not readily available to clinical laboratories, and 2) inadequately or improperly collected specimens. At CDC, many newly developed assays are being used for research and for outbreak investigations. The information in this report is especially intended for public health agencies that collaborate with CDC in investigating outbreaks of gastroenteritis. The report provides an update on guidelines and recommendations for the proper collection of specimens to be sent to CDC, gives general background information concerning some recently discovered pathogens, lists some of the tests available at CDC, and provides a list of CDC contacts. The guidelines and the general information provided on causes of outbreaks of gastroenteritis can be also used by public health workers for investigations when specific testing is available and appropriate.
Cell-Autonomous Inhibition of α7-Containing Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Prevents Death of Parasympathetic Neurons during Development

Neurotrophic molecules are key retrograde influences of cell survival in the developing nervous system, but other influences such as activity are also emerging as important factors. In the avian ciliary ganglion, half the neurons are eliminated between embryonic day 8 (E8) and E14, but it is not known how cell death is initiated. Because systemic application of α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonists prevents this cell loss, we examined differences in receptor densities and responses of intracellular calcium to nicotine using the calcium-sensitive dye fura-2. In addition, we determined whether cell-autonomous inhibition of α7 activation in neurons prevented cell death. E8 neurons are heterogeneous with respect to α7-nAChR density, which leads to large increases in [Ca2+]i in some neurons; E8 neurons also exhibit a slower rate of Ca2+ decay after nicotinic stimulation than E13 neurons. Expressing α-bungarotoxin that is tethered to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage (GPIαbtx) in ciliary ganglion neurons with the retroviral vector RCASBP(A) blocks increases in intracellular calcium induced by nicotine through α7-nAChRs and prevents neurons from dying. Expression of GPIαbtx in surrounding non-neural tissues, but not in neurons, does not prevent cell loss. Furthermore, the GPIαbtx is not efficiently expressed in the accessory oculomotor neurons, eliminating preganglionic inputs as another site for action of the antagonist. These results support the hypothesis that cholinergic inputs facilitate cell death in the developing autonomic nervous system by activating α7-nAChRs, possibly by leading to increases in intracellular calcium that exceed the threshold for cell survival.
Early clinical experience with color three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound in peripheral interventions.

PURPOSE To report early clinical experiences with color 3-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (3-D IVUS) in assisting peripheral interventions. TECHNIQUE A 3.5-F, 20-MHz IVUS catheter that utilizes ChromaFlo computer software to demonstrate blood flow in color was evaluated in over 100 peripheral interventions. ChromaFlo captures up to 30 conventional IVUS frames every second and generates "real-time" imaging. The software compares sequential axial IVUS images and interprets any differences in the position of echogenic blood particles, which are displayed as colorized flow in axial or 3-D renderings. CONCLUSIONS ChromaFlo-enhanced IVUS demonstrates colorized blood flow inside the vessel lumen, which is helpful in distinguishing echolucent disease from luminal blood flow and can also be used to perform peripheral interventions in patients with renal failure or allergy, avoiding the use of contrast media.
The AIDS epidemic--considerations for the 21st century.

Humankind has been besieged through-out its evolution by microorganisms that pose a continual challenge to the survival of the species.1 Although such ancient killers as tuberculosis and malaria persistently take a toll of millions of lives per year, occasionally the emergence or reemergence of a microbe results in an unexpected, catastrophic pandemic with global public health consequences. As we prepare to leave the 20th century, it is worth reflecting on the fact that within the framework of an enormous but constant burden of a variety of infectious diseases, as well as a number of mini-epidemics, this century has witnessed two .
Electron Microscopy of Herpes Simplex Virus

Although capsids of herpes simplex virus were encountered within phagocytic vesicles, they were more commonly observed free within the cytoplasm. Stages in the release of virus from vesicles were not seen. There appeared to be five distinct steps in the process whereby the virus initiates infection: attachment, digestion of the viral envelope, digestion of the cell wall, passage of the capsid directly into the cytoplasm, and digestion of the capsid with release of the core. Antibody probably interferes with the first two stages.
