MEXICAN- AND ANGLO-AMERICANS IN CARDIO REHABILITATION: DO CULTURAL DIFFERENCES MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Anglo- and Mexican American patients entering phase II cardiac rehabilitation at two hospitals (N=310) provided medical history information and completed questionnaire measures of psychological distress, self-efficacy for rehabilitation, and coping styles. The groups differed on several demographic and coping-style variables at admission, and psychosocial variables such as distress, self-efficacy, and confiding in significant others predicted patient participation and benefit over the next three months in different ways for the two culture groups. Taking culture into account appeared to improved prediction of outcomes, suggesting possible advantages of culturally-sensitive intervention programming. Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD), primarily manifested by coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease (stroke), is the leading cause of mortality and disability for all ethnic groups in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2002; Perez-Stable, Juarbe, & Moreno-John, 2001). Because of its importance to the treatment of CVD, training in regular physical exercise has become the cornerstone of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. Meta-analyses of clinical trials demonstrate that medically prescribed and supervised exercise can reduce mortality rates among patients with CVD and improve psychosocial functioning (Bock, Albrecht, Traficante, Clark, et al., 1997; Haskell, 1994; O’Connor, Buring, Yusuf, Goldhaber, et al., 1989). Although some data exist documenting ethnic differences in cardiac morbidity and mortality, virtually no research has examined participation by Mexican-American patients in exercise-oriented CR. The present study compared Mexican- and Anglo-American patients entering two CR programs in order to (a) identify possible demographic and psychosocial differences between these groups at admission on variables such as psychological distress, selfefficacy for rehabilitation, social support, and ways of coping; and (b) identify possible ethnic differences in program participation and staff-rated benefit over the next three months. Beyond these mean-level differences, we were especially interested in whether patient characteristics predict outcome in different ways for the two groups because, if present, such cultural moderation could mean that CR is a fundamentally different experience for Mexican- and AngloAmerican patients. Finally, because gender figures prominently in discussions of ethnic group differences (McGoldrick, Giordano & Pearce, 1996), we examined patient sex as a potential moderator of ethnic differences in short-term outcome and initial psychological distress.
The Common Hamster, Cricetus Cricetus (L.) Populations in the Lower San River Valley

The Common Hamster, Cricetus Cricetus (L.) Populations in the Lower San River Valley Seven active localities of the common hamster were found in the Lower San River Valley, while in the Tarnogród Plateau the hamsters are not present any longer. The populations on both banks of the San River belong to the Pannonia phylogeographic lineage. The contact between two Polish phylogeographic lineages: E1 and Pannonia, was not found in this area. Although it is not possible to establish currently what was the former distribution of the phylogroups, it is probable that the barrier between them was formed by the Solska Forest. The genetic diversity of the common hamster populations in the Lower San River Valley is lowered, however quite typical for Polish Pannonia populations. The populations of the Lower San River Valley are isolated from the other parts of the species range in Poland. The only possible connection with other populations is through Ukrainian hamsters in Lvov district. Występowanie Chomika Europejskiego Cricetus Cricetus (L.) W Dolinie Dolnego Sanu W dolinie dolnego Sanu stwierdzono siedem aktywnych stanowisk chomika europejskiego, podczas gdy nie potwierdzono jego występowania na Płaskowyżu Tarnogrodzkim. Populacje występujące po dwóch stronach Sanu należą do tej samej linii filogeograficznej - Pannonia. Kontakt pomiędzy dwiema występującymiw Polsce liniami filogeograficznymi (E1 i Pannonia) nie został stwierdzony na badanym obszarze. Ustalenie dawnego rozprzestrzenienia obu linii jest obecnie niemożliwe, jednak wydaje się prawdopodobnym, że barierę stanowiła dla nich Puszcza Solska. Zróżnicowanie genetyczne populacji chomika europejskiego w dolinie dolnego Sanu jest obniżone, ale wciąż typowe dla polskich populacji Pannonia. Populacje z doliny dolnego Sanu są izolowane od pozostałych części zasięgu gatunku w Polsce. Jedyne możliwe połączenie z innymi populacjami chomika to potencjalny kontakt z ukraińskimi populacjami w okręgu lwowskim.

Virucidal Effects of Ultraviolet, Heat Treatment and Disinfectants against Koi Herpesvirus (KHV)

The virucidal effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, heat treatment and disinfectants against koi herpesvirus (KHV) were evaluated using KF-1 cells. KHV (KHV-I strain) was completely inactivated by UV irradiation at a dose of 4.0 ¥ 10 m Ws/cm or heating to temperatures above 50∞C for 1 min. KHV was completely inactivated by 200 mg/L iodophor, 60 mg/L benzalkonium chloride solution or 30% ethyl alcohol for 20 min. When chlorine concentration was measured after mixing with virus supernatant containing medium and fetal bovine serum, 97.5% and 98.5% reduction in infectivity was observed at 0.30 mg/L of chlorine for 30 s and 20 min, respectively. In practice, a tenfold concentration of chlorine (i.e. 3 mg/L) will be recommended to inactivate KHV completely.

TRANSCUTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF THE ARTERIAL INPUT FUNCTION IN

Positron Emission Tomography ( PET ) provides a powerful tool in medical research. Biochemical function can be both precisely localized and quantitatively measured. To achieve reliable quantitation it is necessary to know the time course of activity concentration in the arterial blood during the measurement. In this study the arterial blood curve from the brachial artery is compared to the activity measured in the internal carotid artery with a new ~anscutaneous detector.
The Extent to which Females Occupy Leadership Positions in Zimbabwean Teachers Colleges

The study explored the effectiveness of female leaders in Zimbabwean teacher training colleges. The study focused on two teacher training colleges in Harare. The research adopted the mixed method approach whereby both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in compliment. The multiple case study design was the plan used to guide the study execution. The population included all the female leaders holding designated posts and lecturers at the two institutions. Purposive sampling was used to come up with a representative sample of 10 female leaders and 30 lecturers. The semi-structured interview and the questionnaire were the tools used to collect data respectively. The findings revealed that female leaders in teachers colleges mainly use democratic and participatory leadership styles. It was also found that female leaders also resort to autocratic styles where they feel their authority is under threat. Most respondents rated the leadership of females in teacher training colleges as effective. The study recommended that the government and civil society should work tirelessly to uproot the systems such as patriarchy that wrongly define Zimbabwean society which hinders development. Society is advised to adopt an attitude that believes in the dictum that says ‘Whatever a man can do a woman can also do. ” Thus a change of mindset in this regard. The government and civil society should continuously run campaigns to sensitize the nation on issues to do with females in leadership. Interventions in the form of workshops, seminars and in-service training that are specifically aimed at empowering women and men would be also be useful. Lastly it is recommended that government ensure the implementation of policies such as affirmative action practically and not only on paper. This can be done by close evaluation and monitoring strategies in most institutions. Key terms: Gender, gender equity, gender equality, leadership, attitudes, perceptions.
An Exploratory Study of Health Information Technology and Electronic Health Records on Improving Quality of Patient Care

This paper explores the relationship and use of health information technology in the modern healthcare industry. Specifically, we identify the connection between health information and the quality of care patients receive. Electronic health records are one technology currently being employed as a means of controlling health care costs, better managing patient information, and enhancing patient care. Given the limited number of practitioners and facilities that have currently implemented such systems, it is important to explore the extent to which EHR systems are being utilized and the impact such systems are truly having on the quality of care and patient outcomes.
Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) expression on polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes during perinatal period of dairy cow

To establish a foundation for further researches on the improvement of polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) functions in dairy cow during perinatal period, the counting of PMN, as well as the mRNA and protein expression of toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) on PMN was studied during this critical period. Blood samples were taken 21, 14 and 7 days, and at calving (0) day before expected calving time, and 7, 14 and 21 days after calving. The PMN changes were measured by automatic blood cell analyzer, and mRNA and protein expression of TLR-4 were analyzed by quantity real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and western blot. The results show that the quantity of neutrophil leukocytes reached the peak (3.12 ± 0.26 × 10 9 , p<0.05) at 0 day. The mRNA expression of TLR-4 was down-regulated from the -21days before calving to the 14 day after calving ( P <0.01). The protein of expression TLR-4 was lower from 7 to 14 days. The down-regulation of TLR-4 expression may be the major factor of PMN dysfunction of cows from 7 to 14 days after calving.

Efect of pyroligneous extract of Acacia mearnsii on Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836) (Acari, Tetranychidae) and Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor, 1954) (Acari, Phytoseiidae)

This work aimed to determine the efect of decanted pyroligneous extract (DPE) of black Acacia mearnsii on the mites Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor, 1954) (Acari: Phytoseiidae). Six diferent concentrations were tested, namely, DPE: water 1:600, 1:300, 1:150, 1:75, 1:38 and 1:19 and a control treatment with distilled water. Five females of T. urticae and N. californicus were transferred to arenas, totaling 50 females per treatment, for a period of eight days. DPE caused high mortality in N. californicus, while in T. urticae, high mortality was observed only at high (1:75, 1:38 and 1:19)
Intellectual Capital Approach to Modern Management through the Perspective of a Company’s Value Added

The importance of value creation in small and medium-sized business companies has always been in focus. The changing environment makes a strong impact on all companies all over the world. Nowadays, the value added, which is created by the company, not only depends on tangible but also on intangible assets. It is not enough just to manage internal resources to be efficient or generate high value added. Knowledge and information as an important tool for the management of the external environment have become a new factor of a company. Since elements of the intellectual capital system are intangible and hardly measurable in company’s value added, this paper aims to create a model for the analysis of the creation of a company’s value added through intellectual capital. Subsequent to the review of literature on value creation and management, the authors proposed a model for value creation through intermediate, which presented three main elements of value added creation.
A neural network for decision making under the influence of reinforcement

A neural network based on adaptive resonance theory, known as Categ ART has previously been developed to model the actual process of human decision making and to discern the basis for the actual categorizations made, and applied to data on choices made among bank savings schemes. This network is further extended herein to include representations of the criteria for categorization decisions. The strength of a particular criterion representation can be increased if that criterion successfully predicts the appropriate category, and decreased if it leads to ambiguity in the choice of category. Moreover the connections between criterion and category nodes can be modulated by selective attentional biases that may in turn be influenced by external reinforcement. Some possible analogies with frontal lobe function and with animal inductive learning results are discussed.
Adjuvant effects of Sophy β-glucan on H5N1 and H5N2 vaccination using a mouse model

Sophy β-glucan, a type of β-1,3-1,6 glucan produced by a black yeast Aureobasidium pollulans strain AF0-202, is currently approved for use as a health food supplement. The new genotypic avian influenza H5N1 is one of the major emerging infectious diseases causing concern and loss in Vietnam, Asian and several European countries during the 2003-2008 period. We examined the effect of Sophy β-glucan on the immune response against the new H5N1 vaccine made in Vietnam⁄China and H5N2 made in China. As a result, both H5N1 and H5N2 vaccines elicited a significantly high immune response with Sophy β-glucan supplied in drinking water in all the mice tested (2-3 log2 higher HI titer). These vaccines also elicitated ELISA positivity (ELISA (+): seroconversion) 10-20% higher than those used in groups vaccinated without Sophy β-glucan. We conclude that Sophy β-glucan showed an excellent adjuvant effect on H5N1 and H5N2 vaccinations in a mouse model.

Arcabouço teórico para discussões sobre o panorama multifacetado da privacidade na era digital

Threats such as data leakage, identity theft, surveillance, profiling and dossiers, as well as the mutant privacy policies of social networks, are commonly related to harms as injure to reputation and loss of privacy. This study presents a general explanation of the privacy law in the international context, and examines articles, documents and surveys, critically analyzing the issues of information privacy – and the privacy definitions as a whole – investigating the different facets of privacy and how technology challenges us to realign our expectations of privacy. We hypothesized that the care to protect personal data privacy tends to be among the qualities searched by users of software applications, and thus should be a key element of competitive advantage in the applications market. Our hypothesis was supported by the finding of strategies and a myriad of software solutions for the protection of privacy in the phases of collection, storage, processing and dissemination of information. Privacy is in urgent need of preservation, and the current regulatory strategies do not seem to be up to the task. Companies that take privacy as an inherent value to the projects and development of their products and technologies, stimulate innovation and stand out in the marketplace, building a relationship of trust with their customers and users. We expect to bring scientific knowledge to students and professionals committed to ethics, to the values of freedom and autonomy and interested in the topic of information privacy.
Urolithiasis and Its Herbal Remedies

Urolithiasis (UL) is one of the most common diseases, with worldwide increasing incidence and prevalence. In India, in the Ayurvedic system of medicine, ‘Pashanabheda’ group plants, claimed to be useful in the treatment of urinary stones. ‘Pashanabheda’ is the Sanskrit term used for a group of plants with diuretic and antiurolithiatic activities (Pashana = stone; Bheda = break). Hence, in the present review an attempt has been made to enumerate the studies of plants Cessampelous pareira linn, B. Sensitivum linn , Fragaria vesca linn used for antiurolithiasis. This could serve as a source of information on the present trends in research on plants accredited with antiurolithiatic activity.
Effect Of Propolis Extracts On Trypanosoma Evansi In Rats

This work was conducted in the Department of Crop Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum, in cooperate with the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Khartoum. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of two extracts of propolis (water and ethanol) against Trypanosoma evansi on rats under laboratory conditions. Water and ethanol extracts of propolis 10% at 0.2 ml/rat were injected sub-cutanously and intraperitoneally, parasiteamia level in the rat blood was monitored up to 4 days before the next treatment. The results showed positive effect of propolis extracts against Trypanosoma evansi. Trypanocidal activity of water extract reached 6%, 30% and 58% when treated subcutanously and 6%, 11% and 47% for those treated intraperitoneally, within three days. Trypanocidal activity of ethanol extract reached 6%, 9% and 18% when administered sub-cutanously and 7%, 10% and 14% for those treated intraperitoeanlly. The results showed that water extract of propolis was more effective than ethanol extract and the effectiveness increased gradually with time; subcutanously route was the best way to treat Trypanosoma evansi.
Lyceum – Classroom without Walls

Education system in India is still following a traditional classroom lecturing system and slowly adopting new pedagogies involving technological infrastructures. However, incorporating technology enabled learning solutions to schools should consider the cultural context of the region and the practices that works best for their system. A major factor hindering quality education in India is the constant rise in the student population and the teaching overload of the educators. In this paper we propose an information technology based solution, Lyceum, which enables teachers to conduct lectures to a larger number of students in different classrooms with two way communication between the teacher and the students just like in a classroom. The first version of the product has been deployed in three schools in India and we are currently collecting feedback for continuous improvement.
