An occupational perspective of health

A significant and core text in occupational therapy for more than 8 years, Dr. Ann Wilcock's revolutionary "An Occupational Perspective of Health" has been updated and enhanced into a much-anticipated Second Edition. This unique text that examines the relationship between occupation, health, and ill-health explores the occupational experience within populations and offers more information critical to the practice of occupational therapy. Based on extensive studies of human history and occupation, Dr. Wilcock takes a holistic approach of health in line with that of the World Health Organization, examining the necessity for occupational therapists and their role in promoting health and well-being for all people. "An Occupational Perspective of Health" uncovers a different way to understand health by exploring the physical, social, mental, environmental, and spiritual dimensions that lead to or result from occupation. Dr. Wilcock takes a global perspective by approaching health from this angle, rather than just considering medical or social factors. The text considers the growth, development, and enhancement potential of involvement. This valuable resource supports and explains the historical and rational foundations of the advancing field of occupational therapy, by showing the link between occupation and existence. Addressed in this edition are: a conceptualization of health in the past, present, and future; the role of occupation in human life, health, and survival; occupation as a positive or negative influence on well-being; the potential contribution of occupational therapy to current WHO public/population health objectives; and possible action for OTs to become recognized as health-promoting professionals at population levels. Clinicians and students of occupational therapy, as well as other professionals working in public health, will benefit from and relate to this admired and essential text.
Reinterpretasi Asbāb Al-Nuzūl bagi Penafsiran Alquran

Asbāb al-nuzūl are socio-historical events surrounding the revelation of the Qur’an and they are important aspects to understand the meaning of the Qur’an. Unfortunately, in many tafsir that written either in classical or modern exegesis many exegetes seem to ignore the important messages of these socio-historical aspects of the Qur’an. Many exegetes only focus on the texts and produce the textual-doctrinal understanding of the Qur’an that detached from its context. This article based on the claim of universality of the messages of the Qur’an to all human beings across time and space. This article employs interpretative-analysis method to analyze the use of Asbāb al-nuzūl in kitab tafsir – classic and modern - and to seek a new understanding in both: the theory a well as the use of Asbāb al-nuzūl for Qur’anic interpretation. This article shows that the study of Asbāb al-nuzūl should be concerned not only with the specific events of the revelations but also with the spirit of the time when the events occurred in order to understand the basic meaning intended by the texts revealed in various occasions. Therefore, the meaning of the Qur'an should be derived not only from the general meaning of the texts but also from the contexts of the revelations (al-ibrat bi umum al-lafzh ma’a mura’at khusus al-sabab). Interpreting the Qur’an by paying attention to socio-historical approach will lead us to a more dynamic and dialogical interpretation with the cultural contexts without ignoring the ethical principles of the Qur’an.
Research on secure routing algorithm in wireless sensor network

Through the research on the existing wireless sensor network (WSN) and its security technologies, this paper presents a design of the WSN-based secure routing algorithm. This design uses the existing routing algorithm as chief source, adding the security guidance strategy, introducing the location key information, to enhance the security performance of WSN routing. The improved routing algorithm makes the WSN routing achieve better anti-attack in the case of little overhead increase, therefore has high practical value.
Supporting Student Differences in Listening Comprehension and Vocabulary Learning with Multimedia Annotations.

This article describes how effectively multimedia learning environments can assist second language (L2) students of different spatial and verbal abilities with listening comprehension and vocabulary learning. In particular, it explores how written and pictorial annotations interacted with high/low spatial and verbal ability learners and thus affected students' acquisition of new vocabulary and their aural comprehension when they listened to a L2 passage. Students (N = 171) were randomly assigned to one of four groups while listening to a passage in French: a control group that received no annotations and three treatment groups that received written annotations, pictorial annotations, or both written and pictorial annotations. In terms of learning abilities, little difference was found between high- and low-spatial-ability learners when interacting with pictorial or written annotations. However, high-verbal-ability learners consistently outperformed low-verbal-ability learners on recall protocol and vocabulary tests when pictorial annotations alone were present. Within the low- and high-ability groups, learning was consistently greatest when pictorial and written annotations were accessed.

Cette argumentation prend en consideration, tantot des parallelismes dans l'evolution, tantot l'existence d'echanges de materiels entre les deux ensembles.
Nonsupervised 3D registration of PET and MRI data using chamfer matching

An extension of the chamfer matching technique to accurately register 3-D medical images from different modalities is proposed. A shape-independent surface matching technique yields a rigid body transformation, which allows the transfer of information between modalities. The optimal transformation is inferred from the minimization of a quadratic generalized distance between discrete surfaces. The minimization process is efficiently performed via the precomputation of a 3-D distance map. The entire registration process requires no supervision. The accuracy of the proposed unsupervised 3-D registration method turned out to be very satisfactory for PET (positron emission tomography) medical studies. <<ETX>>
Metabolic programming of obesity in utero: is there sufficient evidence to explain increased obesity rates?

As the childhood obesity epidemic continues unabated, research underlying its cause is necessary to curtail its progression. The rate of obesity in middle-class preschool-age children has substantially increased over the past 22 years. Recent longitudinal studies indicate that once children of preschool age are obese, the risk of remaining obese in adulthood is doubled. Accordingly, researchers have theorized that intervention to prevent obesity must occur early in life. Such an intervention requires identifying infants at risk for obesity before these children become overweight. This presents the question of how to identify early predictors of obesity and infants ‘at risk. ’ Birth weight has been extensively studied to determine its relationship with obesity risk. Both low birth weight and high birth weight neonates appear to have increased risk of obesity, possibly with similar underlying mechanisms. However, as demonstrated in epidemiologic studies in several countries, most obese children had a normal birth weight. Other factors during the perinatal period that have been associated with increased childhood obesity risk include: gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG). This active area of research, termed as metabolic programming, is based on the hypothesis that obesity may have its origins in utero. However, to date, definitive evidence for metabolic programming as a cause for the increase in obesity rates is lacking.
Performance of spread spectrum synchronous access communication system by orthogonal sequences

In conventional spread spectrum communication systems characterized by asynchronous multiple access SSRA (spread spectrum random access), interchannel interference is not zero and consequently the number of simultaneously communicable channels is small and the frequency utilization efficiency is low. The near-far problem is also important. For performance improvement SSSA (spread spectrum synchronous access) systems with orthogonal sequences have been proposed. This paper discusses performance of an SSSA communication system which is based on the use of a set of orthogonal sequences formed by adding +1 to each of the M sequences. Because interference does not exist under the condition of perfect synchronism between channels, it may be expected that the multiple access capability is improved, the constraints of the nearfar problem are loosened, and the system will be immune to jamming. The performance in the absence of synchronism between channels and with imperfect demodulation of the spread code is studied by theoretical analysis and simulation.
Dynamic Analysis of three Voltage Source Power Converters supplying Squirrel Cage Induction Machines

In this paper, the dynamic analysis of three of the most promising types of voltage source converters, is studied. The converters supply squirrel cage induction machines and they employ hysteresis current control, voltage space vector modulation and sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM), respectively. Detailed models for the electrical drives are used, allowing the study of their behavior in a broad bandwidth. The presented models are developed using Matlab code and Simulink. Indirect field-oriented control is used for the regulation of the rotating speed and the stator flux. The hysteresis current controller is composed of three independent per phase current controllers. DC side is considered ideal as it is assumed that the control system maintains the dc voltage at its reference value. The operational characteristics of the examined variable speed schemes are studied using their response to step changes of the load torque and the reference speed.
Progress in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas: a German perspective

Young good-prognosis patients comprise the low and low-intermediate risk group (risk factor 0 and 1 according to the age-adjusted IPI) while poor-prognosis patients comprise the high-intermediate and high risk group (≥2 risk factors). Optimum treatment responses in young good-prognosis patients have so far been achieved with 6 cycles of a CHOP-like chemotherapy in combination with the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. Using this therapeutic approach, 3-year event-free survival rates of >90% and overall survival of >97% can be achieved in a very favorable subgroup (patients without IPI risk factor and no bulky disease), while further improvement is warranted for the less favorable subgroup (IPI=I and/or bulky disease; 3-year event-free survival: 77%).
Crossed and nested dependencies in German and Dutch

Abstract The clause-final verbal clusters in Standard Dutch and German differ strikingly in the kinds of dependencies they normally permit between verbs and their arguments, with Dutch preferring crossed dependencies and German nested. This study investigates the consequences of these differences for the psycholinguistic processing complexity of sentences containing either crossed or nested dependencies. German and Dutch subjects performed two tasks-ratings of comprehensibility and a test of successful comprehension-on matched sets of sentences which varied in complexity from a simple sentence to one containing three levels of embedding. The results show no difference between Dutch and German for sentences within the normal range (up to one level of embedding), but with a significant preference emerging for the Dutch crossed order for the more complex strings. We argue that this rules out the push-down stack as the universal basis for the human parsing mechanism.
Methods of Fast Exponentiation

Problem statement: Modular exponentiation constitutes the basis of many well-known and widely used public key cryptosystems. Approach: A fast portable modular exponentiation algorithm considerably enhanced the speed and applicability of these systems, also an efficient implementation of this algorithm was the key to high performance of such system. Results: In this study, two main approaches for solving this problem were proposed. The proposed approaches involved calculations without usage of extra operational memory for saving constants and calculations with usage of preliminary calculated constants. Conclusion/Recommendations: The estimation of complexity of the speedup and effectiveness of proposed approaches for the data were presented.

Massively parallel sector scale discrete fracture and matrix simulations

We have been able to solve a reservoir simulation problem which was previously thought of as intractable: We simulated multiphase displacement, including viscous, capillary, and gravitational forces, for highly resolved and geologically realistic models of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) at the sector, i.e. kilometre, scale with very reasonable runtime. This has been possible because we used massive parallelisation and hierarchical solvers in conjunction with a new discrete fracture and matrix modelling (DFM) technique that is based on mixed-dimensional unstructured hybrid-element discretisations. High-resolution DFM simulations are important to resolve the non-linear coupling of small scale capillary - viscous and large scale gravitational - viscous processes adequately for sector scale NFR. Cross-scale process coupling in NFR controls oil recovery and NFR often exhibit power-law fracture length distributions, i.e. they do not possess an REV, and highly permeable fractures can extend over the full hydrocarbon column height. As a consequence, emergent displacement patterns have been observed which are difficult to quantify using traditional means of upscaling. However, such patterns could now be used as benchmarks to reach a better consensus on the correctness of promising new upscaling techniques. The parallel DFM technologies presented here allow us to to obtain these results much more efficiently and hence explore the parameter space in greater detail. We observed a linear scaling behaviour for up to 64 processes and a significant decrease in runtime when applying our parallel DFM approach to three highly refined NFR simulations. These contain thousands of fractures, up to 5 million elements, and have local grid-refinements below 1 m for model dimensions between I and 10 kilometres. We achieved this excellent speedup because we reduced inter-processor communication by minimising the overlap between individual domains and decreased idle time of individual processors by distributing the number of unknowns equally among the processors.

Ontology matching evaluation using GIS web services

Matching between concepts describing the meaning of representing for heterogeneous information sources is a key operation in many application domains, including web service coordination, data integration, peer-to-peer information sharing, query answering, and so on. In this paper we present an evaluation of an ontology matching approach, specically of Structure-Preserving Semantic Matching (SPSM) solution which we applied within an emergency response scenario for GIS web service coordination. We evaluate the SPSM solution both on a set of synthesized benchmarks, as well as on real world GIS ESRI ArcWeb services. The results demonstrate the robustness and the performance of the SPSM approach on a large (ca. 700.000) number of matching tasks.

30 GHz static 2:1 frequency divider and 46 Gb/s multiplexer/demultiplexer ICs in a 0.6 /spl mu/m Si bipolar technology

High-speed digital functions realised as a 30 GHz static frequency divider and 46 Gb/s multiplexer and demultiplexer are presented. These ICs demonstrate the speed potential of silicon bipolar technology obtained by optimized combination of well-proven transistor concepts and production technology like process steps in a 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS production environment. The measured results are record data not only for silicon but, except for the static divider, for all semiconductor technologies.
Sentence-initial adverbials and text comprehension

In the last thirty years, numerous linguists have stressed the discourse functions of adverbials. More specifically, sentence-initial temporal and spatial adverbials are often seen as signals that highlight the beginning of a new discourse unit for which they provide the setting. These expressions are thus supposed to affect the reading processes. This paper reports psycholinguistic experiments in which the impact on comprehension of sentence-initial adverbials has been specifically studied. In the first section, we summarize the two discourse functions these adverbials should play according to linguistic theories: signalling the beginning of a new textual unit (the segmenting function) and setting the frame of reference for the whole textual unit that they preface (the framing function). The main conclusion is that inserting an adverbial in sentence-initial position must be seen as a strategic decision of the author of the text for the benefit of the reader. In the next sections, we report several experiments that show that, contrarily to sentence-final adverbials, sentence-initial adverbials enable readers to initiate a set of procedures specific to a topic change and induce them to keep in active memory the setting expressed by the adverbial so that it can regulate the processes of knowledge mobilization required for the interpretation of the sentences that are under its scope. In the conclusion, several avenues for further development are discussed
