Recovery-Oriented Community-Based Mental Health Service in Japan

To promote the recovery of people with mental illness, outreach services in psychiatric rehabilitation is an effective treatment. In Japan, deinstitutionalization has been delayed, and outreach services were not developed until recently. However, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare announced in its 2004 report Mental Health and Medical Welfare Vision of Reform that the national policy of mental health must shift from hospital-oriented treatments to community-oriented treatments. As a result, many pioneering outreach activities are beginning to appear. In this article, we review outreach services in Japan of assertive community treatment (ACT), psychiatric home-visit nursing (PHVN), and the welfare-based outreach program known as home-visit life skills coaching. To provide outreach services of all types to people with mental illness, the separate roles of ACT, PHVN, and home-visit life skills coaching must be clearly defined. However, few agencies provide outreach services to people with mental illness in the Japanese psychiatric system. Thus, we must promote studies and activities that demonstrate the effectiveness of such services and change the culture of psychiatric services from hospital oriented to community oriented.
Classifier‐Guided Visual Correction of Noisy Labels for Image Classification Tasks

Training data plays an essential role in modern applications of machine learning. However, gathering labeled training data is time‐consuming. Therefore, labeling is often outsourced to less experienced users, or completely automated. This can introduce errors, which compromise valuable training data, and lead to suboptimal training results. We thus propose a novel approach that uses the power of pretrained classifiers to visually guide users to noisy labels, and let them interactively check error candidates, to iteratively improve the training data set. To systematically investigate training data, we propose a categorization of labeling errors into three different types, based on an analysis of potential pitfalls in label acquisition processes. For each of these types, we present approaches to detect, reason about, and resolve error candidates, as we propose measures and visual guidance techniques to support machine learning users. Our approach has been used to spot errors in well‐known machine learning benchmark data sets, and we tested its usability during a user evaluation. While initially developed for images, the techniques presented in this paper are independent of the classification algorithm, and can also be extended to many other types of training data.
Document Network Embedding: Coping for Missing Content and Missing Links

Searching through networks of documents is an important task. A promising path to improve the performance of information retrieval systems in this context is to leverage dense node and content representations learned with embedding techniques. However, these techniques cannot learn representations for documents that are either isolated or whose content is missing. To tackle this issue, assuming that the topology of the network and the content of the documents correlate, we propose to estimate the missing node representations from the available content representations, and conversely. Inspired by recent advances in machine translation, we detail in this paper how to learn a linear transformation from a set of aligned content and node representations. The projection matrix is efficiently calculated in terms of the singular value decomposition. The usefulness of the proposed method is highlighted by the improved ability to predict the neighborhood of nodes whose links are unobserved based on the projected content representations, and to retrieve similar documents when content is missing, based on the projected node representations.
Synthetic Controls and Weighted Event Studies with Staggered Adoption

Staggered adoption of policies by different units at different times creates promising opportunities for observational causal inference. The synthetic control method (SCM) is a recent addition to the evaluation toolkit but is designed to study a single treated unit and does not easily accommodate staggered adoption. In this paper, we generalize SCM to the staggered adoption setting. Current practice involves fitting SCM separately for each treated unit and then averaging. We show that the average of separate SCM fits does not necessarily achieve good balance for the average of the treated units, leading to possible bias in the estimated effect. We propose "partially pooled" SCM weights that instead minimize both average and state-specific imbalance, and show that the resulting estimator controls bias under a linear factor model. We also combine our partially pooled SCM weights with traditional fixed effects methods to obtain an augmented estimator that improves over both SCM weighting and fixed effects estimation alone. We assess the performance of the proposed method via extensive simulations and apply our results to the question of whether teacher collective bargaining leads to higher school spending, finding minimal impacts. We implement the proposed method in the augsynth R package.
Constructive derandomization of query algorithms

We give efficient deterministic algorithms for converting randomized query algorithms into deterministic ones. We first give an algorithm that takes as input a randomized $q$-query algorithm $R$ with description length $N$ and a parameter $\varepsilon$, runs in time $\mathrm{poly}(N) \cdot 2^{O(q/\varepsilon)}$, and returns a deterministic $O(q/\varepsilon)$-query algorithm $D$ that $\varepsilon$-approximates the acceptance probabilities of $R$. These parameters are near-optimal: runtime $N + 2^{\Omega(q/\varepsilon)}$ and query complexity $\Omega(q/\varepsilon)$ are necessary. Next, we give algorithms for instance-optimal and online versions of the problem: $\circ$ Instance optimal: Construct a deterministic $q^\star_R$-query algorithm $D$, where $q^\star_R$ is minimum query complexity of any deterministic algorithm that $\varepsilon$-approximates $R$. $\circ$ Online: Deterministically approximate the acceptance probability of $R$ for a specific input $\underline{x}$ in time $\mathrm{poly}(N,q,1/\varepsilon)$, without constructing $D$ in its entirety. Applying the techniques we develop for these extensions, we constructivize classic results that relate the deterministic, randomized, and quantum query complexities of boolean functions (Nisan, STOC 1989; Beals et al., FOCS 1998). This has direct implications for the Turing machine model of computation: sublinear-time algorithms for total decision problems can be efficiently derandomized and dequantized with a subexponential-time preprocessing step.
Isotropic Lifshitz scaling in four dimensions

The presence of isotropic Lifshitz points for a [Formula: see text]-symmetric scalar theory is investigated with the help of the Functional Renormalization Group. In particular, at the supposed lower critical dimension [Formula: see text], evidence for a continuous line of fixed points is found for the [Formula: see text] theory, and the observed structure presents clear similarities with the properties observed in the two-dimensional Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless phase.
Phase II trial of aflibercept (VEGF Trap) in previously treated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC): A PMH phase II consortium trial

4027 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important target in MCRC. Aflibercept (VEGF Trap) is a recombinant fusion protein of the human VEGFR1 and R2 extracellular domains and the Fc portion of human IgG1. Methods: This is an open-label, multi-centre, 2-stage phase II trial in pts with MCRC. Eligibility criteria: >1 prior systemic therapy for MCRC, ECOG < 2. Exclusion criteria: prior treatment with a VEGF or VEGFR inhibitor other than bevacizumab (BEV). IV VEGF Trap (4 mg/kg) was administered every 2 weeks (1 cycle). The primary endpoint was RR and 4-month PFS. Pts were enrolled in two cohorts: BEV naive and prior BEV. Planned sample size in each cohort was 40 pts. Results: In total, 51 pts were enrolled (BEV naive = 24 pts; prior BEV = 27; median age=59, range 39–80; M:F = 30:21; ECOG 0:1:2 = 21:27:3; median # prior regimens for MCRC = 2, range 1–6). After 287 cycles of therapy, most common treatment adverse events (TAEs) of any grade were (#pts): fatigue (40), hypertension (28), .
Cipolla' s game: playing under the laws of human stupidity

In this work we present an evolutionary game inspired by the work of Carlo Cipolla entitled The basic laws of human stupidity. The game expands the classical scheme of two archetypical strategies, collaborators and defectors, by including two additional strategies. One of these strategies is associated to a stupid player that according to Cipolla is the most dangerous one as it undermines the global wealth of the population. By considering a spatial evolutionary game and imitation dynamics that go beyond the paradigm of a rational player we explore the impact of Cipolla' s ideas and analyze the extent of the damage that the stupid players inflict on the population
Factores de riesgo preeclampsia en mujeres

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for preeclampsia in Peruvian women. Design: Prospective case control clinical study. SETTING: Materno Perinatal Institute and Dos de Mayo Hospital between August 1997 and January 1998. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred eighty-seven preeclampsic women were compared with 193 normotensive pregnant women. Cases were matched to controls regarding Inaternal age and gestational age. Potential associated factors were analyzed using univariated analysis and then logistic regression to adjust to confounders. RESULTS: Pre eclampsia was associated to primiparity but only by univaried analysis (OR. 1,86, IC95: 1,2-3,0). History of a previous pregnancy complicated with preeclampsia was the main risk factor associated to preeclampsia (OR: 9,7. IC95%: 3,4-27,3). Obesity was marginally associated to preeclampsia (OR: 2,1. IC95%: 0,8-5,4) and there was a marginally significative lineartrend (p = 0, 056) for preeclampsia risk as BMI increases. CONCLUSION: Preeclampsia is correlated to several risk factors. Pregnant women who present risk factors found in this and other studies should be controlled carefully in order to reduce the incidence and complications of this hypertensive disorder.
Accessibility of websites for visually impaired persons

Accessibility of websites for visually impaired persons is mishandled by screen readers which are not always adapted to interactivity needed by actual web/multimedia technologies. This paper analyses the difficulties to access to information with the use of different technologies and the existing recommendations for the conception of accessible websites for all. Preliminary results with visually impaired persons on our ACCESSPACE project website are presented.
Validación de itinerarios urbanos para la prescripción de ejercicio físico Validation of Urban Routes for Exercise on Prescription

Validation of Urban Routes for Exercise on Prescription Objective: Design and validate eight urban routes in Lleida, to be used as prescription instruments by physicians and nurses at Primary Care Centres (CAPs). Methodologies: Before and during making use of the routes, diverse anthropometric and physiological measurements were taken among volunteers (n = 175), chosen from diverse CAPs in Lleida. Results: The data collected determined which variables influenced upon the intensity of the physical activity. Intervals were established within which future practitioners could perform age-specific activities under medical supervision. Conclusions: This experience allows establishing a methodology to validate routes for exercise on prescription at three levels of intensity (light, moderate, intense) based on medical diagnosis.
The Complexity of Approximating PSPACE-Complete Problems for Hierarchical Specifications (Extended Abstract)

We extend the concept of polynomial time approximation algorithms to apply to problems for hierarchically specified graphs, many of which are PSPACE-complete. Assuming P # PSPACE, the existence or nonexistence of such efficient approximation algorithms is characterized, for several standard graph theoretic and combinatorial problems. We present polynomial time approximation algorithms for several standard problems considered in the literature. In contrast, we show that unless P = PSPACE, there is no polynomial time e-approximation for any e > 0, for several other problems, when the instances are specified hierarchically.
GOODNESS OF FIT TEST AND TEST OF INDEPENDENCE BY ENTROPY

To test whether a set of data has a speciflc distribution or not, we can use the goodness of flt test. This test can be done by one of Pearson X 2 -statistic or the likelihood ratio statistic G 2 , which are asymptotically equal, and also by using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic in continuous distributions. In this paper, we introduce a new test statistic for goodness of flt test which is based on entropy distance, and which can be applied for large sample sizes. We compare this new statistic with the classical test statistics X 2 , G 2 , and Tn by some sim- ulation studies. We conclude that the new statistic is more sensitive than the usual statistics to the rejection of distributions which are al- most closed to the desired distribution. Also for testing independence, a new test statistic based on mutual information is introduced.
Performance of Marwari goats under different systems of feeding management

Production performance of Marwari goats was studied under different systems of feeding management. Thirty Marwari does were divided into three uniform groups of 10 each on 105-day of pregnancy and maintained under extensive, semi-intensive and intensive systems of feeding management up to the day of kidding and then up to 150th day of lactation. The does weighing 34.2±0.75, 34.8±0.88 and 34.0±0.82 kg on 105-day of pregnancy reached at 38.4±0.76, 42.0±1.47 and 38.8±1.29 kg on the day of kidding under extensive, semi-intensive and intensive systems, respectively. The does weighing 33.2±0.81, 35.9±1.47 and 33.5±1.11 kg soon after kidding reached at 33.2±0.85, 35.9±1.22 and 35.0±0.78 kg on the 150-day of lactation under the three respective systems. The does maintained under extensive, semi-intensive and intensive systems produced a total of 73.5±5.89, 100.5±7.19 and 88.6±2.90 kg of milk, during the first 150 days of lactation amounting to 490±19.1, 670±7.2 and 591±24.7 g/head/day, respectively. The birth and weaning weights were 2.9±0.19, 3.0±0.21 and 2.9±0.18 kg and 12.4±0.54, 16.3±1.27 and 13.0±0.96 kg in males and 2.3±0.15, 2.4±0.15 and 2.3±0.14 kg and 10.5±1.35, 11.9±0.64 and 10.5±0.82 kg in female kids respectively under the three systems. It was concluded that the does maintained under semi-intensive system performed significantly better than those under intensive and extensive systems in respect of live weight gains and milk production. The intensive system, however, proved to be better than extensive system in all respects.

IMPACT OF BELIEFS AND ATTITUDES ON YOUNG CONSUMERS' WILLINGNESS TO USE FUNCTIONAL FOOD

The aim of the study was to describe young consumers' attitudes toward functional food and to find the dimensions that can predict respondents' willingness to buy different functional food products. Five functional products were chosen as sample products, namely cholesterol lowering spreads, probiotic yoghurt, juice with added calcium, low-fat mayonnaise, and energetic beverage. Perceived familiarity, healthiness and willingness to use were assessed in relation to these products. Data were collected in the sample of 275 students by using self-administered questionnaire. The consumers' attitudes measured by three dimensions explained their willingness to buy functional food differently. The greatest effects on the willingness to use functional food were found between students who had different attitude toward its benefits. The respondents most willing to use cholesterol lowering spreads and probiotic yoghurts expected benefits from using functional to a greater extent. The need for functional food affected positively the willing- ness to use probiotic yoghurts. The willingness to use low-fat mayonnaise was affected by the confidence in functional food and the safety of func- tional food. The attitude represented by general health interest was positively correlated with the willingness to use probiotic yoghurts and low-fat mayonnaise. The scales used in this survey can be seen as a useful tool for monitoring the factors that determine consumers' behaviours on the market of functional food.
The Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index

Although research has documented the myriad ways that victims of IPV struggle to keep themselves safe, little research has gone the next step to investigate patterns in women’s use of strategies, the factors that influence choice of strategies, or which strategies are most effective. One obstacle to conducting such research is the absence of an instrument to measure the nature and extent of battered women’s strategic responses to violence across specific domains of strategies. This article describes the development of such an instrument, the Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index, in the context of a longitudinal study of battered women’s experience over time.
Prevalence of malaria disease under the Savar upazila of Dhaka district in Bangladesh

Malaria is a major public health concern in Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria parasites from blood sample. The blood samples were collected from patients of different hospitals at Savar upazila. Malaria prevalence survey was conducted in six malaria endemic areas at Savar upazila of Bangladesh. The microscopic examinations were employed for the diagnosis of malaria infection. The overall prevalence of malaria was found to be 23.48% from 115 blood samples. The highest malaria prevalence was observed at Islamnagar area (30.76%) than other five areas of Savar upazila. According to gender wise distribution, it was observed that male (30.90%) had higher positivity compare to their counterparts (16.67%). As regard to age, the peoples whose ages between 21 to 25 years (88.88%) were mostly suffering from malaria. The seasonal influence of outbreak of this disease was higher in rainy season (37.5%), followed by summer (28%), autumn (16.67%) and spring season (12.5%). Effective control program, accurate information on the incidence and prevalence of malaria is required to minimize and eradicate malaria from Bangladesh. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

Redução da inflamação das vias aéreas e da produção de anticorpos IgE através do uso de células dendríticas tolerogênicas pulsadas com extrato solúvel de Blomia tropicalis

Allergies affect about 20-30% of world population and its prevalence and severity of symptoms has increased in recent decades. Existing therapies to respiratory tract disorders are extense, with side effects, not effective for severe patients and depending on the allergen removal. An alternative for these patients is the induction of immune tolerance by cell therapy with dendritic cells pulsed with the allergen. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of myeloid dendritic cells sensitized in vitro with B. tropicalis extract in a murine model of respiratory allergy. In experimental models of respiratory allergy, T helper cells (Th2) produce allergen-specific cytokines which regulate the synthesis of allergen-specific IgE antibodies and control eosinophilic inflammation and tissue remodeling of the airways, these parameters were evaluated in this study. Tolerogenic dendritic cells from A / J mice were obtained in the presence of GM-CSF and dexamethasone and were characterized by low MHC-II expression and costimulatory molecules, marked reduction of PD-L2 and antiinflammatory profile of cytokine production. Prior inoculation of sensitized dendritic cells with Blomiasignificantly and specifically reduced the total number of leukocytes and eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and reduces IgE production compared to inoculation with cells sensitized with ovalbumin, and these effects were improved with a second inoculation of tolerogenic cells. Furthermore, reducing the pulmonary inflammatory infiltrate was seen in animals that had been treated with dendritic cells regardless of the antigen used for sensitization. These results indicate that dendritic cells generated as described here can inhibit an allergic Th2 response. The specificity of the treatment, however, should be examined.
Some estimates for commutators of fractional integral operators on weighted Morrey spaces

Let $0<\alpha<n$ and $I_\alpha$ be the fractional integral operator. In this paper, we shall use a unified approach to show some boundedness properties of commutators $[b,I_\alpha]$ on the weighted Morrey spaces $L^{p,\kappa}(w)$ under appropriate conditions on the weight $w$, where the symbol $b$ belongs to weighted $BMO$ or Lipschitz space or weighted Lipschitz space.
