Proceso visuoperceptivo en la enfermedad de Parkinson: de la retina a la corteza frontal

Introduccion. El creciente interes por los deficit cognitivos que presentan los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson ha dado lugar a la proliferacion de trabajos sobre este tema durante los ultimos anos. En el presente articulo se revisa la alteracion visuoespacial en dichos pacientes, que habitualmente se relaciona con otros trastornos como los que afectan a la planificacion, la secuenciacion, la atencion o los procesos de la memoria. Desarrollo. Se exponen los hallazgos mas relevantes que apuntan a que la existencia de esas alteraciones visuoespaciales que muestran los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson no son siempre secundarias a otros deficit cognitivos de tipo frontal, como se ha afirmado en los ultimos anos, sino que pueden deberse a trastornos en otros puntos anteriores del proceso perceptivo (como consecuencia de la deficiencia dopaminergica en el circuito basal-talamico-cortical). Para ello, se clasifican los trastornos visuoperceptivos en funcion de su localizacion cerebral: desde la retina hasta el nucleo geniculado lateral, la corteza visual y la corteza extraestriada, y, finalmente, la corteza frontal y prefrontal. Conclusiones. Se propone la presente clasificacion de los trastornos segun la localizacion de los mismos en aras de una seleccion objetiva de la muestra y de las pruebas neuropsicologicas utilizadas en los estudios. Es deseable, a este respecto, un mayor consenso entre los investigadores a la hora de disenar las investigaciones que versen sobre alteraciones visuoespaciales en los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson.

Standard and innovative therapy of psoriasis.

Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases. A variety of molecular alterations has been identified in the active, lesional epidermis and dermis of psoriasis, but the pathogenesis still remains unexplained. Therefore, all antipsoriatic therapeutic regimens are symptomatic. Although there is no cure for psoriasis, a variety of therapeutic modalities is available to reduce the severity and increase the life quality of the patient. In cases with mild to moderate psoriasis, topical therapy (tars, dithranol, topical corticosteroids, and vitamin D derivatives) is the most appropriate choice for initial treatment. For patients with more severe, recalcitrant psoriasis, application of UV-radiation and systemic therapies (e.g. retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine A) are available. These modalities are more effective than topical therapy but they are also associated with significant cutaneous and/or systemic adverse effects and a risk-benefit ratio must be taken into account. In recent years, a variety of new approaches and substances has been developed. Their efficacy and safety should be proven in the future.
Feature Selection for Neural Networks Using Group Lasso Regularization

We propose an embedded/integrated feature selection method based on neural networks with Group Lasso penalty. Group Lasso regularization is considered to produce sparsity on the inputs to the network, i.e., for selection of useful features. Lasso based feature selection using a multi-layer perceptron usually requires an additional set of weights, while our Group Lasso formulation does not require that. However, Group Lasso penalty is non-differentiable at the origin. This may lead to oscillations in numerical simulations and make it difficult to analyze theoretically. To address this issue, four smoothing Group Lasso penalties are introduced. A rigorous proof for the convergence of the proposed algorithm is presented under suitable assumptions. To verify the effectiveness, a three-step algorithmic architecture is adopted in implementation. Experimental results on several datasets validate the theoretical results and demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed method.

New Neanderthal remains associated with the ‘flower burial’ at Shanidar Cave

Abstract Shanidar Cave in Iraqi Kurdistan became an iconic Palaeolithic site following Ralph Solecki's mid twentieth-century discovery of Neanderthal remains. Solecki argued that some of these individuals had died in rockfalls and—controversially—that others were interred with formal burial rites, including one with flowers. Recent excavations have revealed the articulated upper body of an adult Neanderthal located close to the ‘flower burial’ location—the first articulated Neanderthal discovered in over 25 years. Stratigraphic evidence suggests that the individual was intentionally buried. This new find offers the rare opportunity to investigate Neanderthal mortuary practices utilising modern archaeological techniques.
Modeling DelftaCopter from Flight Test Data

The DelftaCopter, a tilt-body tailsitter UAV, endures large gyroscopic moments due to the single helicopter rotor providing its thrust. In previous research by de Wagter et al.[1] the DelftaCopter’s attitude dynamics were modeled using a rigid rotor, as is customary for small helicopter modeling. A controller based on this model was unable to compensate coupling between pitch and roll rate caused by gyroscopic moments. In this paper, two models are compared for reproducing the attitude dynamics of the Delfta- Copter in hover. The Cylinder Dynamics (CD) model, used in the previous research, assumes a rigid rotor. The Tip-Path Plane (TPP) model incorporates flapping motion of the blades and was developed by Mettler[2]. The two models are compared by fitting each model’s parameters on flight data using chirps, sine waves with increasing frequency, as system identification maneuvers. The TPP model is shown to be much more accurate in reproducing the high-frequency attitude dynamics. An LQR controller directly based on the TPP model is shown to yield adequate tracking performance. This validates the applicability of this model to the DelftaCopter. For forward flight, an extension to the TPP hover model is proposed incorporating the aerodynamics of the wings and elevons. It is shown that with the extension, chirps in forward flight can be simulated with reasonable accuracy. This paves the way for a model-based controller in this flight state.
A Survey on Secure Cloud Storage with Techniques Like Data Deduplication and Convergent Key management

— Data deduplication is a method for removing duplicate copies of data, It has been largely used in cloud storage to reduce storage memory and upload bandwidth. It gives a challenge to do secure deduplication in cloud storage. In encryption methods the keys can be produced but cannot manage huge number of keys. In the first attempt to formally address the problem of achieving efficient and reliable key management in secure deduplication. The general approach in which each user holds an independent master key for encrypting the convergent keys and employing them to the cloud. such a baseline key management scheme generates an enormous number of keys with the increasing number of users and requires users to allegiance to protect the master keys. The De-key is the process ,which creates new construction in which users do not need to manage any keys on their own but instead of it secure distribute of the convergent key shares across multiple servers. Security analysis demonstrates that De-key is secure in the proposed security model. Proof is that in realistic environment the De-key used in ramp secret sharing . which can Demonstrate .

La validez de constructo se determino de tres formas: analisis factorial confirmatorio, correlacion con las escalas funcionales FAST (Functional Assessment Staging) y EDG (escala de deterioro global), y comparacion de ambos grupos. La consistencia interna se estimo mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados. Se encontraron tres factores, memoria, lenguaje y praxias, que explicaron el 88% de la varianza total. Se hallaron correlaciones significativas entre las pruebas y las escalas FAST y EDG. La consistencia interna y la reproducibilidad test-retest fueron altas. El grupo con DTA mostro puntuaciones mas bajas y significativas (p < 0,05) frente al grupo control. Conclusion. El CERAD-Col es valido y fiable para el diagnostico de la DTA en la poblacion colombiana hispanoparlante mayor de 50 anos.
Object Recognition in Python and MNIST Dataset Modification and Recognition with Five Machine Learning Classifiers

Schools in many parts of the world use robots as social peers in order to interact with children and young students for a rich experience. Such use has shown significant enhancement of children’s learning. This project uses the humanoid robot NAO which provides object recognition of colours, shapes, typed words, and handwritten digits and operators. The recognition of typed words provides performance of the corresponding movements in the sign language. Five classifiers including neural networks are used for the handwritten recognition of digits and operators. The accuracy of the object recognition algorithms are within the range of 82%-92% when tested on images captured by the robot including the movements which represent words in the sign language. The five classifiers for handwritten recognition produce highly accurate results which are within the range of 87%-98%. This project will serve as a promising provision for an affective touch for children and young students. 

Logic Process Compatible 40-nm 16-Mb, Embedded Perpendicular-MRAM With Hybrid-Resistance Reference, Sub- $\mu$  A Sensing Resolution, and 17.5-nS Read Access Time

A new MRAM reference and sensing circuit that can achieve <±1 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{A}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> resolution and 17.5 nS read access from −40 °C to 125 °C is presented in this paper. A trimmable current-mode latch-type sense amplifier (CLSA) with hybrid-resistance-reference (HRR) and cell location compensation is proposed to resolve small read margin of MRAM. Silicon data measurement is presented to demonstrate a logic-process compatible, fully functional 16-Mb perpendicular MRAM in 40-nm CMOS process. Similar read circuit design concept can be applied to other technology nodes. Another test chip designed in 22 nm achieves wafer level average raw bit-error-rate (BER) of ~0.2 ppm and less than 2-ppm BER for 95th percentile chip.
Effects of the Hip Internal Rotation Gait on Gluteal and Erector Spinae Muscle Activity

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the hip internal rotation on gluteal and erector spinae muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity during treadmill walking. Eleven healthy subjects were recruited. All subjects performed treadmill walking while maintaining the hip in neutral position (condition 1) and in internal rotation (condition 2). Surface EMG activity was recorded from four muscles (gluteus maximus (GM), gluteus medius (GMED), tensor fascia latae (TFL), and erector spinae (ES)) and the hip internal rotation angle was measured using a three dimensional motion analysis system. The gait cycle was determined with two foot switches, and stance phase was normalized as 100% stance phase (SP) for each condition using the MatLab 7.0 program. The normalized EMG activities according to the hip rotation (neutral or internal rotation) were compared using a paired t-test. During the entire SP of treadmill walking, the EMG activities of GM in condition 1 were significantly greater than in condition 2 (p.05) except for 80~100% SP. Further studies need randomized control trials regarding the effect of hip internal rotation on the hip and lumbar spine muscle activity. Kinetic variables during gait or going up and down stairs are also needed.
“I Kind of Have a Goal When I Do It”: The Phenomenology of Cultural Variability in Southeast Asian American Tricultural Emerging Adults

Cultural variability (CV) is a dynamic identity process by which individuals play up and play down their cultural identities from day to day. This study examines the phenomenology of CV in a unique group of tricultural Southeast Asian American (SEAA) emerging adults who identify with Asian American, White American, and hip hop cultures to understand how it is experienced, the reasons for its use, the extent to which it is conscious/agentic, and how three cultural identities are managed simultaneously. Interpretive phenomenological analyses reveal that CV was used consciously and involved making behavioral and cognitive changes to fit in with out-group members, educate others about SEAA culture, and to distance themselves from in-group members. Importantly, the centrality of SEAA identity most often remained stable despite playing up/down identities. Overall, findings suggest that CV is an essential identity negotiation strategy for tricultural emerging adults that is complementary to alternation/code-switching.
Bridging the digital divide: the role of universities in getting South Africa closer to the global information society

The global information society (GIS) is a society that breaks all physical barriers and unites people across the globe with the power of information, intermediated by the Internet. In the GIS, all information is transparent and available to everyone. This scenario, however, is a utopian view, as there are millions of people who have no access to, and probably will not have access in their lifetime, to the global society. This article addresses the GIS and its benefits, it examines the negatives of the GIS, the obstacles to belonging to the GIS are discussed and finally, a way forward using tertiary institutions and their infrastructure is provided. A literature review was conducted to develop a theoretical framework for this article. A case study using the University of Durban Westville highlights some of the issues regarding the digital divide. The statistics for the case study are based on the findings of a previous study conducted at the University of Durban Westville in 2001. This study benefits academics in understanding the concepts of the GIS and the digital divide and their role in making the GIS in South Africa a reality, it also provides guidelines for the government in partnership with the private sector to develop the infrastructure for digital communication and information dissemination.
Seaweed-eating sheep and the adaptation of husbandry in Neolithic Orkney: new insights from Skara Brae

Abstract The Neolithisation of Europe involved socio-economic and biological adaptations to new environments. The use of seaweed as livestock fodder, for example, was key to the introduction of animal husbandry to the Orkney archipelago, c. 3500 cal BC. Using stable isotope analysis of faunal remains from Skara Brae, this study provides new evidence for, and clarifies the chronology of, the adoption of seaweed consumption by sheep. The results show that sheep consumed moderate amounts of seaweed from the moment of their introduction to Orkney—a practice that facilitated the successful spread of the farming lifeways to the most remote areas of Europe.

The research shows that the law has different impacts on enterprises of varied ownerships and scales. The law, while giving rise to higher termination costs for enterprises, urges them to take diversified measures to adjust their human resources.
From Proximity to Distant Banking: Spanish Banks in the EMU

This paper examines the nature of competition in the Spanish banking industry during the years before and after Spain joined the European Monetary Union (EMU). The paper models competition in a product-differentiated market where banks choose from a list of price (interest rates of loans and deposits) and non-price variables (branches, advertising, IT capital). The empirically estimated demand and cost functions are used to simulate the values of the endogenous variables of the representative bank in response to the historically low official interest rates of the post Euro period. The results show that there has been a convergence in the levels of price competition in the loans and deposits markets during the post Euro period. Additionally, the paper finds that branches have lost weight in the mix of competition variables in benefit of advertising and IT capital. This is interpreted as evidence that traditional proximity banking is evolving towards distant banking. Finally, the simulation results highlight the high imbalances between loans and deposits for the representative bank in the regime of low official interest rates of the Euro zone.
Coupled Bilinear Discriminant Projection for Cross-View Gait Recognition

A problem that hinders good performance of general gait recognition systems is that the appearance features of gaits are more affected-prone by views than identities, especially when the walking direction of the probe gait is different from the register gait. This problem cannot be solved by traditional projection learning methods because these methods can learn only one projection matrix, and thus for the same subject, it cannot transfer cross-view gait features into similar ones. This paper presents an innovative method to overcome this problem by aligning gait energy images (GEIs) across views with the coupled bilinear discriminant projection (CBDP). Specifically, the CBDP generates the aligned gait matrix features for two views with two sets of bilinear transformation matrices, so that the original GEIs’ spatial structure information can be preserved. By iteratively maximizing the ratio of inter-class distance metric to intra-class distance metric, the CBDP can learn the optimal matrix subspace where the GEIs across views are aligned in both horizontal and vertical coordinates. Therefore, the CBDP is also able to avoid the under-sample problem. We also theoretically prove that the upper and lower bounds of the objective function sequence of the CBDP are both monotonically increasing, so the convergence of the CBDP is demonstrated. In the terms of accuracy, the comparative experiments on the CASIA (B) and OU-ISIR gait databases show that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art cross-view gait recognition methods. More impressively, encouraging performance is obtained by our method even in matching a lateral-view gait with a frontal-view gait.
