Social Practices as Implemented From the Textual Analysis in Vanguard: Sex, Lies and Cigarettes Documentary Film

Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Social Practice, Textual Analysis, Intertextuality This study is about the analysis of Vanguard: Sex, Lies and Cigarettes the documentary film by using Fairclough (1992) three dimensional models theory of CDA. The first objective of this study is to describe the meaning constructions found in the textual analysis as uttered by the reporters and the interviewees in Vanguard: Sex, Lies and Cigarettes the documentary film, while the second one is to find out the aspects of social practice implemented from the the textual analysis in Vanguard: Sex, Lies and Cigarettes the documenary film. A qualitative method was used to analyze the data. The writer collected the data by transcribing all utterances produced by the reporter and four interviewees. The data is from 59 (fifty nine) utterances out of all utterances which contain the issue of Indonesian smoking children. In analyzing the data, the writer used textual analysis and social practice analysis from three dimensional models as proposed by Fairclough (1992). The textual analysis has been done to describe and to analyze the utterances by using five techniques of intertextuality in order to construct the meaning on it. Then, the textual analysis has confirmed to find out the aspects of social practice which is divided into two aspects: public discourse control and mind control . The result of this study confirmed that text, as the result of social structure and social interaction has emerged social practices. In line with linguistic features, textual analysis through techniques of intertextuality could implement the aspects of social practice toward the phenomenon of Indonesian smoking children as shown in Vanguard: Sex, Lies and Cigarettes the documenary film. Moreover, all aspects of social practice have equally big influence for attracting Indonesian children to smoke. Finally, the writer suggested the next writer to apply and to elaborate more theoris of CDA, especially structural content for completing the textual analysis to understand the structure under such condition of certain text. Whereas the idelogies constructed through social practice also needs to be found for a complete and a better study.
Programas Educativos Universitarios Para Mayores: Evaluación de su Impacto en la Autopercepción del Apoyo Social y la Salud Mental

espanolAlgunos estudios indican que los programas universitarios para mayores pueden tener un impacto positivo en la autopercepcion del apoyo social y la salud de los participantes. Sin embargo, dichos estudios no evaluan estas variables con instrumentos de medida estandarizados y grupos de control dentro y fuera del programa. En el presente trabajo se utilizo un grupo experimental y dos grupos control que fueron evaluados en dos momentos con instrumentos estandarizados. Los resultados no confirmaron los efectos beneficiosos esperados de los programas. Es necesario seguir profundizando en esta linea de actuacion y explorar el efecto de variables socioafectivas en estudios longitudinales. EnglishSome studies indicate that university programs for older adults can have a positive impact on the participants’ perceptions of social support and health. However, those studies fail to evaluate these variables with standardized measurement instruments and control groups, both within and outside the program. This study used an experimental group and two control groups that were evaluated at two different moments, using standardized instruments. The results did not confirm the expected beneficial effects of the programs. Thus, it is necessary to continue in-depth research along these lines and explore the effect of socio-affective variables in longitudinal studies. portuguesAlguns estudos indicam que os programas universitarios para idosos podem ter um impacto positivo na autopercepcao do apoio social e da saude dos participantes.

Possible mechanisms by which the H-2Kbm3 mutation may decrease cytotoxic T-lymphocyte recognition of vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein antigen

Spleen cells from C57BL/6 (B6) mice generate a strong in vitro cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response specific for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Spleen cells from VSV-primed B6-H-2bm3 (bm3) mice, which have a mutation in H-2Kb, require approximately 10-fold more UV-inactivated VSV to generate in vitro secondary anti-VSV CTL, compared with spleen cells from primed B6 mice. Anti-VSV CTL elicited in both bm3 and B6 mice are primarily specific for the viral nucleocapsid protein (N protein), as demonstrated by using recombinant vaccinia viruses that express the VSV N protein. bm3 CTL were found to exhibit only a very low level of lytic activity when tested against autologous VSV-infected concanavalin A spleen cell blasts as well as several H-2b tumor cell lines. The weak anti-VSV response of bm3 CTL was found to be the result of a combination of inefficient recognition of VSV-infected target cells and decreased elicitation of secondary effector cells. VSV-infected bm3 target cells were not killed as well as B6 targets by either bm3 or B6 effectors. This is because of the inefficient recognition of targets, as demonstrated by the fact that VSV-infected bm3 cells were unable to competitively inhibit the lysis of VSV-infected B6 target cells by either bm3 or B6 effectors. By using cells from recombinant mice, it was shown that the CTL response restricted by H-2Kb was low in the bm3 mice, compared with that of the B6 mice. However, the H-2Db-restricted CTL activity was similarly low in both the B6 and bm3 mice. The possibility that the low response to VSV-infected bm3 cells is caused by differences between the bm3 and B6 cells in expression of either viral antigens or H-2K was investigated by radiolabeling and immunoprecipitation. VSV-infected B6 and bm3 cells were found to express equivalent levels of both viral antigens and H-2K. These results indicate that the bm3 mutation alters a functional site on the H-2Kb molecule that is involved in the recognition of VSV-infected cells. The observation that elicitation of bm3 CTL can occur at high antigen doses further suggests that the bm3 mutation results in a lower affinity of H-2K either for viral antigen or for receptor sites on the CTL.
Osmotic reflextion coefficients of capillary walls to low molecular weight hydrophilic solutes measured in single perfused capillaries of the frog mesentery.

1. Individual capillaries of the transilluminated frog mesentery have been perfused with suspensions of human red cells in frog Ringer solution containing 1‐0 g albumin 100 ml. ‐1. The outer surface of the mesentery has been washed with normal frog Ringer solution and with frog Ringer solutions made hypertonic by addition of one of the following solutes: sodium chloride (100 m‐mole. 1.‐1); urea (100 m‐mole.1.‐1); sucrose (20‐50 m‐mole. 1.‐1); cyanocobalamin (8‐5 m‐mole. 1.‐1). The temperature of the mesentery was between 14 and 16 degrees C in all experiments. 2. Wtih the mesentery superfused with normal Ringer, the filtration coefficient was determined from measurements of the rate of fluid filtration across the capillary wall, at a series of known capillary pressures (Michel, Mason, Curry & Tooke, 1974). Filtration coefficient varied from 0‐69 X 10(‐3) to 4‐45 X 10(‐3) mum. sec‐1 . cm H2O‐1 with an average value of 1‐87 X 10(‐3) mum. sec‐1. cm H2O‐1. 3. When the superfusate was made hypertonic by the addition of a test solute, the osmotic reflextion coefficient (sigma) of the capillary wall to test solute was calculated from the additional rate of filtration, the concentration of test solute in the superfusate and the filtration coefficient. Average values for sigma were: sodium chloride, 0‐068 +/‐ 0‐03 (three capillaries); urea, 0‐071 +/‐ 0.015 (four capillaries); sucrose, 0‐115 +/‐ 0‐023 (seven capillaries); cyanocobalamin, 0‐100 +/‐ 0‐03 (three capillaries). 4. In further experiments, the osmotic reflextion coefficients to sodium chloride, urea and sucrose were determined in the same capillary. Five technically acceptable experiments were carried out. Although there were differences in the value of sigma between different capillaries, in any one capillary values of sigma were of the same magnitude and there appeared to be no significant trend with the molecular size of the test solute. 5. Our findings are inconsistent with the hypothesis that there is a single pathway for water and small hydrophilic molecules across the capillary wall. 6. Our results may be interpreted in terms of an exclusive channel for water in parallel with a channel shared by both water and small hydrophilic molecules. It is suggested that the exclusive water channel may be the membranes and cytoplasm of the endothelial cells and the shared channel may be located in the intercellular junctions. 7. Our data suggest the exclusive water channel represents about 10% of the total filtration coefficient in frog mesenteric capillaries. The shared channel shows relatively little restriction to the molecules investigated. Estimates of the volume flow throught the two channels are made for conditions where hydrostatic pressure differences and osmotic pressure differences are the driving forces.
Assiste-t-on à une transformation uniforme des carrières professionnelles vers plus de mobilité ?. Une exploitation de l’enquête Histoire de vie

La hausse de la mobilite sur le marche du travail francais est-elle averee ? Les auteures ont exploite une base originale de 4 508 carrieres de 1960 a nos jours, extraite de l’enquete « Histoire de vie – Construction des identites » de l’Insee. Elles remettent en question le constat, assez partage mais egalement controverse, d’une transformation profonde du marche du travail, qui irait dans le sens d’un affaiblissement des marches internes et d’une mobilite de carriere accrue. L’article conclut a une stabilite relative de la mobilite au sein de l’emploi et a une hausse des mouvements avec le chomage qui ne touche pas de maniere uniforme l’ensemble de la population active. Ainsi, la « nouvelle donne » des carrieres semble-t-elle etre davantage le risque de chomage que l’apparition d’un modele general de mobilite.

WHO provides additional guidance on HIV self-testing and partner notification.

As people live longer with HIV-1 infection, the choice of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen focuses as much on efficacy as on the potential long-term health effects and their interaction with age-related comorbidities. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a component of several single-tablet ART regimens but has been associated with an increased risk of renal and bone adverse effects. To clarify the link between TDF exposure and these effects, Nkhoma et al. [1] conducted a retrospective, real-world analysis of two large national claims databases of individuals with employer-sponsored commercial or Medicare supplemental insurance from 2008 to 2014. The databases included 9876 and 10 383 adults with HIV-1 infection treated with one of three single-tablet TDF-containing regimens: efavirenz (EFV)/emtricitabine (FTC)/TDF, rilpivirine (RPV)/FTC/TDF, or elvitegravir (EVG)/cobicistat (COBI)/FTC/TDF. Most patients received EFV/FTC/TDF, with the proportion of patients who received the newer RPV/FTC/TDF and EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF regimens increasing in later years of the study period.
Making allergic and hypersensitivity conditions visible in the International Classification of Diseases-11

Understanding that the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11 revision would be an opportunity to standardize the code definitions for all allergic and hypersensitivity conditions, an international collaboration of Allergy Academies, including first the World Allergy Organization, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology and the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, has been coordinating tremendous efforts since 2013 to provide a better classification of these disorders in the new ICD-11. During this process, a strategic action plan has been constructed to keep bilateral dialog with representatives of the ICD revision by providing them scientific and technical evidences for the need of changes in the ICD framework. As a major achievement of this process, was the construction of the "allergic and hypersensitivity conditions" parented subchapter guided by the World Health Organization ICD representatives and further supported by three more regional allergy societies: the Latin American Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, and the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology. Believing that the outcomes of all past and future actions will impact positively to the Allergy specialty, we expect for the full approval by the United Nations in 2017.
Chronic pain and adult hippocampal neurogenesis: translational implications from preclinical studies

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (ahNG) occurs in the human brain. Adult generated neurons have been proposed to functionally contribute to relevant hippocampal functions such as learning and memory, mood regulation, and stress response. Learning, environmental enrichment, and physical exercise exert positive effects on ahNG. In parallel, these proneurogenic stimuli have been shown to ameliorate cognitive performance and/or depressive-like behavior in animal models. Conversely, aging, social isolation, and chronic stress exert negative effects on ahNG. Interestingly, reduction of hippocampal neurogenesis is suggested to potentially contribute to cognitive decline and mood alterations associated with aging and several neuropsychiatric disorders. Clinical observation demonstrates that patients affected by chronic pain often exhibit increased anxiety and depression, impaired cognitive flexibility, and memory capacities. As of today, our understanding of the molecular and cellular events that may underlie the comorbidity of chronic pain, depression, and cognitive impairment is limited. Herein we review recent preclinical data suggesting that chronic pain may induce profound changes in hippocampal plasticity, including reduced ahNG. We discuss the possibility that deregulated hippocampal neurogenesis in chronic pain may, at least in part, contribute to cognitive and mood alterations. Based on this hypothesis, the mechanisms underlying chronic pain-associated changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and related functions need to be addressed experimentally. One interesting feature of ahNG is its susceptibility to pharmacological modulation. Again, based on preclinical data we discuss the possibility that, at least in principle, distinct analgesic drugs commonly used in chronic pain states (typical and atypical opiates, α2δ ligands, and acetyl-l-carnitine) may differentially impact ahNG and that this aspect could be taken into account to reduce and/or prevent the potential risk of cognitive and emotional side effects in the clinical setting.

Time Dependency of Psychotherapeutic Exchanges: The Contribution of the Theory of Dynamic Systems in Analyzing Process

This paper provides a general framework for the use of Theory of Dynamic Systems (TDS) in the field of psychotherapy research. Psychotherapy is inherently dynamic, namely a function of time. Consequently, the improvement of construct validity and clinical relevance of psychotherapy process research require the development of models of investigation allowing dynamic mappings of clinical exchange. Thus, TDS becomes a significant theoretical and methodological reference. The paper focuses two topics. First, the main concepts of TDS are briefly introduced together with a basic typology of approaches developed within this domain. Second, we propose a repertoire of investigation strategies that can be used to capture the dynamic nature of clinical exchange. In this way we intend to highlight the feasibility and utility of strategies of analysis informed by TDS.
Efficient Sampling Schemes for 3-D ISAR Imaging of Rotating Objects in Compact Antenna Test Range

This letter presents three measurement approaches for three-dimensional (3-D) inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of rotating objects on a pylon in compact antenna test range. The proposed measurement approaches are based on the backprojection algorithm and the concept of interferometric ISAR. Point spread functions (PSFs) are simulated to assess the performance of the proposed approaches. Simulation results show an improvement of up to 87% reduction in measurement time while maintaining an 8-dB peak sidelobe ratio (PSLR).
Surprising creativity: a cognitive framework for interactive exhibits designed for children

Interactive exhibits in museums are providing exciting and dynamic learning experiences with significant potential to stimulate children's creativity. However, current sophisticated interfaces designed to deliver easily accessible information are not teaching the fundamental skills necessarily to foster genuine creative outcomes. The aim of our research is to promote a design methodology that fosters children's creativity, helping them to gain the formative skills necessary to nurture the process of creative learning. There needs to be more encouragement to motivate children's curiosity and the promotion of observational skills that can help them realise the creative possibilities to be derived from everyday experiences. This paper describes the development of the Creative Surprise Model (CSM): a cognitive framework that informs a methodology to support interactive design practitioners. It identifies the motivational link between surprise emotion and the generation of creativity. We demonstrate how it is applied by describing a real life design task.
International Conference on Information Systems ( ICIS ) December 1999 IT Capabilities : Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Operationalization

With increased emphasis on the strategic role of IT in contemporary organizations, it is imperative to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that govern a firm’s IT capability. Yet, there exists very little understanding as to what constitutes a firm’s IT capability and how it could be measured. Drawing from theoretical perspectives and a systematic multi-stage research framework based on Delphi panels and focus groups, we conceptualize an enterprise-wide IT capability as a second order factor model. Using structural equation modeling techniques, the IT capability construct is empirically verified. Our study results provide a useful tool for benchmarking IT capability and serves as a foundation for operationalizing a key dependent variable in ITbusiness value research.
Reward-Related Behavioral Paradigms for Addiction Research in the Mouse: Performance of Common Inbred Strains

The mouse has emerged as a uniquely valuable species for studying the molecular and genetic basis of complex behaviors and modeling neuropsychiatric disease states. While valid and reliable preclinical assays for reward-related behaviors are critical to understanding addiction-related processes, and various behavioral procedures have been developed and characterized in rats and primates, there have been relatively few studies using operant-based addiction-relevant behavioral paradigms in the mouse. Here we describe the performance of the C57BL/6J inbred mouse strain on three major reward-related paradigms, and replicate the same procedures in two other commonly used inbred strains (DBA/2J, BALB/cJ). We examined Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT) by measuring the ability of an auditory cue associated with food reward to promote an instrumental (lever press) response. In a separate experiment, we assessed the acquisition and extinction of a simple stimulus-reward instrumental behavior on a touch screen based task. Reinstatement of this behavior was then examined following either continuous exposure to cues (conditioned reinforcers, CRs) associated with reward, brief reward and CR exposure, or brief reward exposure followed by continuous CR exposure. The third paradigm examined sensitivity of an instrumental (lever press) response to devaluation of food reward (a probe for outcome insensitive, habitual behavior) by repeated pairing with malaise. Results showed that C57BL/6J mice displayed robust PIT, as well as clear extinction and reinstatement, but were insensitive to reinforcer devaluation. DBA/2J mice showed good PIT and (rewarded) reinstatement, but were slow to extinguish and did not show reinforcer devaluation or significant CR-reinstatement. BALB/cJ mice also displayed good PIT, extinction and reinstatement, and retained instrumental responding following devaluation, but, unlike the other strains, demonstrated reduced Pavlovian approach behavior (food magazine head entries). Overall, these assays provide robust paradigms for future studies using the mouse to elucidate the neural, molecular and genetic factors underpinning reward-related behaviors relevant to addiction research.
Beyond Machine Learning: Autonomous Learning

Recently, Machine Learning has achieved impressive results, surpassing human performances, but these powerful algorithms are still unable to define their goals by themselves or to adapt when the task changes. In short, they are not autonomous. In this paper, we explain why autonomy is an important criterion for really powerful learning algorithms. We propose a number of characteristics that make humans more autonomous than machines when they learn. Humans have a system of memories where one memory can compensate or train another memory if needed. They are able to detect uncertainties and adapt accordingly. They are able to define their goals by themselves, from internal and external cues and are capable of self-evaluation to adapt their learning behavior. We also suggest that introducing these characteristics in the domain of Machine Learning is a critical challenge for future intelligent systems.
