The Impact of Suicidal Rock Music Lyrics on Youth: An Investigation of Individual Differences

This study attempted to predict reactions after listening to music with lyrics about suicide. One hundred and twenty-six volunteers completed self-reports of personality and mood, and then listened to the music. Afterwards, they completed projective stories, self-reports of moods and reactions, and a memory test for the lyrics. Low openness to experience, and to a lesser extent, high neuroticism and low self-esteem predicted higher levels of suicide-related content in projective story-writing, as did knowing a suicide victim. Both the personality measures and post-listening mood predicted remembering too many nihilistic lyrics. Surprisingly, 68% of participants wrote at least one projective story with altruistic content. Individual differences were modestly associated with suicidal thoughts after listening to the music.
Efficiency Test in Chinese Plastic Futures Market

In order to test the efficiency of Chinese plastic futures market, we firstly use variance ratio under random walk model to test the price sequences of LLDPE and PVC, which shows that this market is of week form efficiency. Then an assistant method, JJ Cointegration test is completed, which shows that the market is efficient in the short run concerning the price discovery function. The two methods make it clear that Chinese plastic futures market is in weak form efficiency in the short term, and the price discovery functions well.
The impact of psychiatric disorders on work loss days

Background. To examine relationships between recent DSM-III-R psychiatric disorders and work impairment in major occupational groups in the US labour force. Method. Data are from the US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS), a survey of respondents ages 15–54 in the US. Employed people are the focus of the report. Results. There is substantial variation across occupations in the 30-day prevalences of NCS/DSM-III-R psychiatric disorders, with an average prevalence of 18·2% (range: 11·0–29·6%) for any disorder. The average prevalences of psychiatric work loss days (6 days per month per 100 workers) and work cutback days (31 days per month per 100 workers), in comparison, do not differ significantly across occupations. Work impairment is more strongly concentrated among the 3·7% of the workforce with co-morbid psychiatric disorders (49 work loss days and 346 work cutback days per month per 100 workers) than the 14·5% with pure disorders (11 work loss days and 66 work cutback days per month per 100 workers) or the 81·8% with no disorder (2 work loss days and 11 work cutback days per month per 100 workers). The effects of psychiatric disorders on work loss are similar across all occupations, while effects on work cutback are greater among professional workers than those in other occupations. Conclusion. The results reported here suggest that work impairment is one of the adverse consequences of psychiatric disorders. The current policy debate concerning insurance coverage for mental disorders needs to take these consequences into consideration.
The Postwar Medicalization of  Planning: Planned Parenthood’s Conservative Comic, Escape from Fear

ABSTRACT In light of recent criticism targeting Planned Parenthood, this essay turns to Planned Parenthood’s 1956 comic book, Escape from Fear, as a rich historical text for considering the implications underlying the negotiation of ideological positions in the context of an increasingly conservative society. In this case study, I contend that this Planned Parenthood comic book uses a generically familiar romance narrative in ways appealing to conservative readers and situating birth control as a normative part of the ideal American . However, beyond normalizing white, middle-class, heterosexual, married women’s use of Planned Parenthood resources, this domestication of contraception also subtly masked the normalization of professionalized medicine within the . While contemporary readers should be wary of this narrative’s medicalization of women’s bodies, the comic book’s subtle representation of expanded female autonomy and authority also signals how women’s health organizations might consider advancing feminist politics in a contemporary conservative era.
An Approach for Quantitatively Balancing Methylmercury Risk and Omega-3 Benefit in Fish Consumption Advisories

Background: Nearly all fish consumption advisories for methylmercury (MeHg) are based only on risk. There is a need to also address benefits, especially those from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), in neurodevelopmental function and cardiovascular health. However, because MeHg and PUFA generally act on these same end points, disentangling risk and benefit is challenging. Objectives: We propose an approach for balancing risk and benefit that is based on the use of statistically dissociated measures of risk and benefit. Discussion: Because of mutual coexposure of MeHg and PUFAs in population-based studies and their opposite effect on many of the same end points, MeHg risk and PUFA benefit are tightly linked statistically, which results in mutual (negative) confounding. Thus, neither MeHg risk nor PUFA benefit can be accurately quantified without taking the other into account. A statistical approach that generates unconfounded risk and benefit coefficients for each end point can permit their subsequent recombination to describe the overall risk–benefit profile of each species of fish or fish diet. However, it appears that some end points may be adversely affected by MeHg without experiencing counterbalancing benefit from PUFAs. Such end points may drive consumption advisories and may preclude balancing of risk and benefit on the basis of other end points. Conclusions: Our thinking about fish consumption advisories now recognizes the need to balance risk and benefit. However, although statistical analysis of the appropriate data can eliminate mutual confounding, care is required to address the most sensitive end points that may be sensitive to risk and not benefit.
Good morning creativity: task reactivation during sleep enhances beneficial effect of sleep on creative performance

Both scientists and artists have suggested that sleep facilitates creativity, and this idea has received substantial empirical support. In the current study, we investigate whether one can actively enhance the beneficial effect of sleep on creativity by covertly reactivating the creativity task during sleep. Individuals’ creative performance was compared after three different conditions: sleep‐with‐conditioned‐odor; sleep‐with‐control‐odor; or sleep‐with‐no‐odor. In the evening prior to sleep, all participants were presented with a problem that required a creative solution. In the two odor conditions, a hidden scent‐diffuser spread an odor while the problem was presented. In the sleep‐with‐conditioned‐odor condition, task reactivation during sleep was induced by means of the odor that was also presented while participants were informed about the problem. In the sleep‐with‐control‐odor condition, participants were exposed to a different odor during sleep than the one diffused during problem presentation. In the no odor condition, no odor was presented. After a night of sleep with the conditioned odor, participants were found to be: (i) more creative; and (ii) better able to select their most creative idea than participants who had been exposed to a control odor or no odor while sleeping. These findings suggest that we do not have to passively wait until we are hit by our creative muse while sleeping. Task reactivation during sleep can actively trigger creativity‐related processes during sleep and thereby boost the beneficial effect of sleep on creativity.
Learning from combination of data chunks for multi-class imbalanced data

Class-imbalance is very common in real-world applications. Previous studies focused on binary-class imbalance problem, whereas multi-class imbalance problem is more general and more challenging. Under-sampling is an effective and efficient method for binary-class imbalanced data. But when it is used for multi-class imbalanced data, many more majority class examples are ignored because there are often multiple majority classes, and the minority class often has few data. To utilize the information contained in the majority class examples ignored by under-sampling, this paper proposes a method ChunkCombine. For each majority class, it performs under-sampling multiple times to obtained non-overlapping data chunks, such that they contain the most information that a data sample of the same size can contain. Each data chunk has the same size as the minority class to achieve balance. Then every possible combination of the minority class and each data chunk from every majority class forms a balanced training set. ChunkCombine uses ensemble techniques to learn from the different training sets derived from all the possible combinations. Experimental results show it is better than many other popular methods for multi-class imbalanced data when average accuracy, G-mean and MAUC are used as evaluation measures. Besides, we discuss different evaluation measures and suggest that, a multi-class F-measure Mean F-Measure (MFM) is unsuitable for multi-class imbalanced data in many situations because it is not consistent with the standard F-measure in binary-class case and it is close to accuracy.
Treatment of inflamed pterygia or residual pterygial bed

Aims: To describe the use of subconjunctival bevacizumab or ranibizumab, an approved antivascular endothelial growth factor for wet macular degeneration, in halting the inflammation of a pterygium or a partially excised pterygium. Methods: Case reports. Results: Prompt regression of conjunctival microvessels in the pterygial bed was documented 1 week after a single subconjunctival injection of ranibizumab (one case) or bevacizumab (two cases). No side-effects were noted over 13 months of follow-up in the first case, 6 months in the second case and 1 month in the third case. Conclusion: Selective blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor was effective in causing regression of conjunctival microvessels in three eyes with inflamed pterygium or residual pterygia.
A Review of Data Mining Classification Techniques Applied for Diagnosis and Prognosis of the Arbovirus-Dengue

Chikungunya (CHIK) virus, similar to Dengue pose a serious threat in Tropics, because of the year-round presence of Aedes mosquito vectors . The use of machine learning techniques and data mining algorithms have taken a great role in the diagnosis and prognosis of many health diseases. But a very few work has been initialized in this arboviral medical informatics. Our focus is to observe clinical and physical diagnosis of chikungunya viral fever patients and its comparison with dengue viral fever. Our project aims to integrate different sources of information and to discover patterns of diagnosis, for predicting the viral infected patients and their results. The scope is mainly in the classification problem of these often confused arboviral infections. This study paper summarizes various review and technical articles on arboviral diagnosis and prognosis. In this paper we present an overview of the current research being carried out using the data mining techniques to enhance the arboviral disease diagnosis and prognosis. This paper is not intended to provide a comprehensive overview of medical data mining but rather describes some areas which seem to be important from our point of view for applying machine learning in medical diagnosis for our real viral dataset.
Spiritual Life and Community Integration of the Old Person Moving into the City

The old person moving into the city are the old age group who live together with children entering a city but household register is in countryside. This article is in on-the-spot investigation foundation and described the old person's spiritual life condition from the uses of leisure time, the participation of community activities, the community emotion to the psychology recognizes and so on. It is discovered that their spirit life is monotonous, they seldom participate in the community activities and the community sympathy is low. To improve the old person's spiritual life, we must help them through the community integration. Such as organizing diversification community activities, expanding the old people's social interaction scope, helping them to construct a new public relations network, thus their spiritual life condition is improved.
Effects of Preparation Time on Phase of Cultured Tissues Reveal Complexity of Circadian Organization

The phases of central (SCN) and peripheral circadian oscillators are held in specific relationships under LD cycles but, in the absence of external rhythmic input, may damp or drift out of phase with each other. Rats exposed to prolonged constant light become behaviorally arrhythmic, perhaps as a consequence of dissociation of phases among SCN cells. The authors asked whether individual central and peripheral circadian oscillators were rhythmic in LL-treated arrhythmic rats and, if rhythmic, what were the phase relationships between them. The authors prepared SCN, pineal gland, pituitary, and cornea cultures from transgenic Period1-luciferaserats whose body temperature and locomotor activity were arrhythmic and from several groups of rhythmic rats held in LD, DD, and short-term LL. The authors measured mPer1gene expression by recording light output with sensitive photomultipliers. Most of the cultures from all groups displayed circadian rhythms. This could reflect persistent rhythmicity in vivo prior to culture or, alternatively, rhythmicity that may have been initiated by the culture procedure. To test this, the authors cultured tissues at 2 different times 12 h apart and asked whether phase of the rhythm was related to culture time. The pineal, pituitary, and SCN cultures showed partial or complete dependence of phase on culture time, while peak phases of the cornea cultures were independent of culture time in rhythmic rats and were randomly distributed regardless of culture time in arrhythmic animals. These results suggest that in behaviorally arrhythmic rats, oscillators in the pineal, pituitary, and SCN had been arrhythmic or severely damped in vivo, while the cornea oscillator was free running. The peak phases of the SCN cultures were particularly sensitive to some aspect of the culture procedure since rhythmicity of SCN cultures from robustly rhythmic LD-entrained rats was strongly influenced when the procedure was carried out at any time except the 2nd half of the day.
Subapical Wall Synthesis and Wall Thickening Induced by Cycloheximide in Hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans

Hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans continued to synthesize all the major polysaccharide components of the cell wall when cycloheximide was added to cultures. In the presence of cycloheximide, hyphae did not elongate, but electron microscopy showed that the walls became thicker around the cell. The conclusion that cycloheximide changed wall synthesis from extension at the apex to subapical thickening was supported by grain distributions on radioautograms of mutant hyphae labeled with galactose. These findings are discussed in relation to the control of hyphal wall synthesis and are compared with the effects of protein synthesis inhibitors on wall formation in gram-positive bacteria.
Proposing Effort Estimation of COCOMO II through Perceptron Learning Rule

The software cost estimation is now one of centre of attention for computer software industries. As software industry runs many projects simultaneously they have to prioritize different processes based on time, cost, and number of staff, sequentially. With the increasing complexity of software, the cost of the software development is also increasing. So it is required to rely on the effective techniques for estimating software costs. Accurate cost estimation is needed because it can help to prioritize and classify development projects. In this paper, the most popular software cost estimation model, COCOMO II (post architecture model of COCOMO), is discussed. The estimation of COCOMO II is enhanced through neural network. The network is trained trough perceptron learning rule. The company’s previous projects dataset of estimation and actual cost can be used to train the network. The cost estimation result of COCOMO II is compared with trained network.
Intention d’apprendre et diversité des partenaires : effets simples et combinés sur le transfert de connaissances entre alliés

En adoptant l’approche basee sur la connaissance, cette recherche etudie les effets de trois elements prealables pour le transfert inter-organisationnel de connaissances (TIC). Ces trois elements sont: l’intention de l’entreprise a explorer la connaissance du partenaire, la diversite entre les partenaires qui represente la source de nouveaute potentielle a apprendre, et enfin les effets mutuels de ces deux elements. Une enquete aupres de 114 entreprises francaises, montre un impact positif de l’intention d’exploration sur l’efficacite du TIC. Nous avons egalement trouve une relation en U inverse entre la diversite du partenaire et l’efficacite du TIC. Les interactions entre ces deux elements sont etudiees sur la base de deux hypotheses complementaires: La variation de l’intention d’explorer a un impact positif sur le TIC dans un contexte de faible diversite des partenaires, au contraire des alliances avec forte diversite entre les partenaires dans lesquelles la variation de l’intention d’explorer influence negativement le TIC. Les resultats de ces dernieres hypotheses correspondent a deux approches d’exploration : la profondeur et l’etendue de l’exploration. Lorsqu’une entreprise, ayant une intention exploratoire, fait une alliance avec des partenaires similaires, ils profitent de leur profondeur commune d’exploration pour favoriser l'apprentissage et la creation de nouvelles connaissances. L’etendue de l’exploration dans une alliance est la mesure par laquelle les partenaires de l'alliance explorent de nouvelles connaissances dans des elements non-similaires de leur base de connaissances. Toutefois, nos resultats montrent que la diversite trop eleve entre des partenaires reduit l’effet positif de l’intention d’explorer sur le TIC a cause de la distance important entre les elements de connaissances des partenaires a explorer
The Contrahelicase Activities of the Replication Terminator Proteins of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis Are Helicase-specific and Impede both Helicase Translocation and Authentic DNA Unwinding (*)

Replication forks are arrested at sequence-specific replication termini primarily, perhaps exclusively, by polar arrest of helicase-catalyzed DNA unwinding by the terminator protein. The mechanism of this arrest is of considerable interest. This paper presents experimental evidence in support of four major points pertaining to termination of DNA replication. First, the replication terminator proteins of both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis are helicase-specific contrahelicases, i.e. the proteins specifically impede the activities of helicases that are involved in symmetric DNA replication but not of those involved in conjugative DNA transfer and rolling circle replication. Second, the terminator protein (Ter) of E. coli blocks not only helicase translocation but also authentic DNA unwinding. Third, the replication terminator protein of Gram-positive B. subtilis is a polar contrahelicase of the primosomal helicase PriA of Gram-negative E. coli. Finally, the blockage of PriA-catalyzed DNA unwinding was abrogated by the passage of an RNA transcript through the replication terminator protein-terminus complex. These results are significant because of their relevance to the mechanistic aspects of replication termination.
Cancer Therapy Using Chemopreventive Agents to Enhance the Efficacy of Updated

Emerging evidence suggests that cancer preventative agents might be combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the more effective treatment of cancer. Recent studies suggest that genistein and other dietary compounds that prevent cancermay enhance the efficacy of cancer therapeutics by modifying the activity of key cell proliferation and survival pathways, such as those controlled by Akt, nuclear factor-KB, and cyclooxygenase-2. In this article, we summarize the findings of recent investigations of chemopreventive agents in combination with cancer treatment regimens. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(7): 3347-50)
Survey of Architectures and Performance of ATM Switches Based on Deflection Routing

ATM switch architectures based on deflection routing are here examined, described in terms of a general switch model and compared with regards to their internal operations. Their common feature is the availability of multiple I/O paths through a multistage unbuffered interconnection network where conflicts for the same interstage link are dealt with by deflecting packets onto the wrong path. The main engineering parameter of the architecture, that is the number of network stages that provides a given packet loss performance is studied in depth. In particular it is found that basically all the examined architectures have a complexity on the order of N log 2 N in the range of switch size of usual interest. Furthermore it has been possible to rank the architectures with comparable complexity based on the loss performance they provide. The Shuffleout switch turns out to behave better than other architectures previously known as providing an optimal performance.
