Monolinguals and bilinguals respond differently to a delayed matching-to-sample task: An ERP study

Previous research examining whether bilinguals exhibit enhanced working memory (WM) compared to monolinguals has yielded mixed results. This inconsistency may be due to lack of sensitivity in behavioral and neuropsychological measures. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of bilingualism on WM by focusing on brain activity patterns (event-related potentials) in monolinguals and bilinguals during a WM task. We recorded brain activity while participants (26 monolingual English speakers and 28 English–French bilinguals) performed a delayed matching-to-sample task. Although performance measures were similar, electrophysiological differences were present across groups. Bilinguals exhibited larger P3b amplitudes than monolinguals, and smaller negative slow wave and N2b amplitudes during retrieval. These results suggest that bilinguals may have more cognitive resources available in WM to allocate to task completion, and that task completion may be less effortful for bilinguals than for monolinguals.
Electronically Controllable Phase Shifter with Progressive Impedance Transformation at K Band

This communication presents the design of a two-port electronically tunable phase shifter at K band. The phase shifter consists of a 3 dB hybrid coupler loaded with reflective phase-controllable circuits. The reflective circuits are formed by varactors and non-sequential impedance transformers which increase the operational bandwidth and the provided phase shift. The final phase shifter design is formed by two loaded-coupler stages of phase shifting to guarantee a complete phase turn. An 18 GHz phase shifter design with dynamic range of 600 degrees of phase shift is depicted in this document. The prototype is manufactured and validated through measurements showing good agreement with the simulation results.
Tumor Treating Fields and New Paradigms in Glioblastoma Standard of Care

In EF-11, patients had a progressive disease even after initial treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy with TMZ, with an average survival of only 6.6 in cases where TTF was used, with no superiority in relation to the control group (6, 0 months), P = 0.27. After a 1-year survival rate of only 20% in both arms of the research, there was a failure to demonstrate that the use of TTF was superior to the chemotherapeutic regimens normally used. Mrugala. , et al. summarized the experience of using TTF in 457 patients in 91 institutions in Abstract The primary tenet of neurosurgical oncology is a survival. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary brain tumor. With more than 14,000 new cases of GBM are diagnosed in US each year. Although new treatment paradigms with a significant impact on the outcomes of many other cancer types, treatment of malignant glioma remains a challenge. Patient survival for an average 14 months from diagnosis despite “standard of care” treatment, the survival has not changed significantly in decades.
Rolandic Mu Rhythms and Assessment of Cerebral Functions

ABSTRACT.Mu rhythms can be considered as intrinsic or resting activity of the central region. Somatosensory stimulations or motor behavioral activity affect the generation mechanism of mu rhythms and result in an amplitude attenuation or blocking reaction. Mu rhythms can be found only in a small part of the population when standard electrode montages and visual EEG evaluation are used. Mu rhythms can be detected in nearly 100% of cases when closely spaced electrodes in a transverse montage are used and the EEG is recorded during slowly repeated, voluntary movements. Mu rhythms are of great importance in functional testing of patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency.
Error Analysis and System Calibration of a Dual-rotating retarder Mueller Matrix Polarimeter

We developed a Mueller matrix polarimeter in the laboratory based on a dual-rotatingretarder configuraion. The Mueller matrix measurement accuracy can reach 2 × 10−3 after calibration by a ’clear’ measurement. We use this system to measure the polarization properties of a wave-plate and a Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder (LCVR) sample after calibration. And we get the intrinsic properties of the LCVR and the wave plate, which are supposed to be carefully considered when using them.
Readiness for contingency: punctuation, poise, and co-design

ABSTRACT How do we ready ourselves to intervene responsively in the contingent situations that arise in co-designing to make change? How do we attune to group dynamics and respond ethically to unpredictable developments when working with ‘community’? This paper challenges co-design conventions that focus too tightly on formal process by addressing what happens at the moment when we step into situations to alter them with others. This is intrinsically relational and we expose the politics of practice that cannot be replicated or interchanged. Instead, we suggest that practices of readying are constituted by personal histories, experiences, philosophies, and cultures and demonstrate this by giving reflexive accounts of our dimensions of preparation. We have organised these accounts around the qualities of punctuation and poise as a way to draw out some less easily articulated aspects of co-design practice. These narratives are distinct, yet reveal complementary theories and worldviews that shape ontologies and, in turn, shape the experience – and politics – of collaboration.
Kirkkotila ja kristillinen musiikkiperintö vauvamusiikkitoiminnassa

Tassa artikkelissa tarkastellaan laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen keinoin kirkkotilaa vauvamusiikkitoiminnan paikkana, erityisesti osallistujien kokemuksia siita ja lasten reaktioita toimintaan ja kirkkotilaan. Tutkimuksessa kysytaan, minkalaisia kokemuksia syntyy vuorovaikutuksessa kirkkotilan ja kristillisen musiikkiperinnon kanssa vauvamusiikkitoiminnan aikana. Aineisto on keratty suomalaisessa kaupunkiseurakunnassa havainnoimalla, videoimalla ja haastattelemalla lapsensa kanssa toimintaan osallistuneita aiteja toimintaperiodin alussa ja lopussa. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisella sisallonanalyysilla. Vauvamusiikkitoimintaa jarjestettiin noin kahden kuukauden mittaisena jaksona, jonka aikana kokoontumisia kirkkotilassa oli kerran viikossa. Artikkelissa toimintaa tarkastellaan kulttuuriperintokasvatuksen ja osallisuuden nakokulmista. Osallisuus on keskeinen tavoite kirkon ja yhteiskunnan kasvatustoiminnassa. Vauvamusiikkitoiminnassa kristinuskon aineellinen kulttuuriperinto (kirkkotila) yhdistyi aineettomaan kulttuuriperintoon, erityisesti kristilliseen musiikkiperintoon seka musiikkitoiminnassa kaytettyyn rekvisiittaan ja lastenlaulustoon. Toiminnassa laulettiin perinteisia kristillisia lauluja, kuten virsia ja joululauluja, uusia hengellisia lastenlauluja seka musiikkitoimintaan tarkoitettuja lauluja. Vauvat olivat ensimmaisella kerralla hyvin rauhallisia ja tarkkaavaisia, mutta vauvamusiikkitoiminnan myota rohkeus kirkkotilan tutkimiseen lisaantyi. Aidit kokivat kirkkotilan kauniiksi ja erityislaatuiseksi paikaksi vauvamusiikkitoiminnan jarjestamiseen. Vauvan kanssa kirkkotilassa oleminen tarjosi uuden nakokulman kirkkotilaan, mutta tila koettiin myos haastavaksi, jos vauva oli itkuinen tai levoton. Vauvamusiikkitoiminnan myota aidit paasivat kirkkoon, jonne eivat olisi muuten vauvan kanssa menneet. Toiminnan myota kirkkotila tuli uudella tavalla tutuksi seka vauvoille etta aideille. Yksittaiset laulut siirtyivat myos kotona laulettaviksi. Toiminta ilmentaa ja vahvistaa jo vauvaikaisten osallisuutta uskonnollisesta kulttuuriperinnosta.

What is an enhanced recovery nurse: a literature review and audit

Background: the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme is an evidence-based pathway used to improve recovery after surgery. Despite consensus in the ERAS community that an ERAS nurse is necessary to the success of the programme, there is no definitive role profile. Objectives: this study aimed to define the role of the ERAS nurse and establish the main responsibilities. Methods: a literature review was undertaken, and a purpose-designed online survey was sent to all nurse members of ERAS UK. Data analysis: data are displayed as percentages with tables and charts. Results: 33/89 ERAS nurses responded, describing their main roles as pathway development and implementation, data collection/audit, staff education and project management, as well as patient support and education throughout the pathway. Conclusions: roles vary considerably between ERAS nurses, their impact on the ERAS pathway is unclear, and more research is needed.
Molecular Minimal Residual Disease Detection in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Simple Summary Although the majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) reach a morphologic complete remission after high-dose chemotherapy, the majority of them face a relapse within a few years. Detection of residual cells, persisting in a considerably small amount, has shown to be predictive of impending relapse in multiple studies. Whereas the gold standard in minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in AML is currently based on immunophenotypic approaches, the use of molecular MRD testing to predict AML relapse has been explored extensively in recent years. This review aims to provide an overview of the different studies that improve molecular MRD detection in AML, and to describe the limitations and challenges it faces. Abstract Initial induction chemotherapy to eradicate the bulk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells results in complete remission (CR) in the majority of patients. However, leukemic cells persisting in the bone marrow below the morphologic threshold remain unaffected and have the potential to proliferate and re-emerge as AML relapse. Detection of minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) is a promising prognostic marker for AML relapse as it can assess an individual patients’ risk profile and evaluate their response to treatment. With the emergence of molecular techniques, such as next generation sequencing (NGS), a more sensitive assessment of molecular MRD markers is available. In recent years, the detection of MRD by molecular assays and its association with AML relapse and survival has been explored and verified in multiple studies. Although most studies show that the presence of MRD leads to a worse clinical outcome, molecular-based methods face several challenges including limited sensitivity/specificity, and a difficult distinction between mutations that are representative of AML rather than clonal hematopoiesis. This review describes the studies that have been performed using molecular-based assays for MRD detection in the context of other MRD detection approaches in AML, and discusses limitations, challenges and opportunities.
A Survey on Big Data for Trajectory Analytics

Trajectory data allow the study of the behavior of moving objects, from humans to animals. Wireless communication, mobile devices, and technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS) have contributed to the growth of the trajectory research field. With the considerable growth in the volume of trajectory data, storing such data into Spatial Database Management Systems (SDBMS) has become challenging. Hence, Spatial Big Data emerges as a data management technology for indexing, storing, and retrieving large volumes of spatio-temporal data. A Data Warehouse (DW) is one of the premier Big Data analysis and complex query processing infrastructures. Trajectory Data Warehouses (TDW) emerge as a DW dedicated to trajectory data analysis. A list and discussions on problems that use TDW and forward directions for the works in this field are the primary goals of this survey. This article collected state-of-the-art on Big Data trajectory analytics. Understanding how the research in trajectory data are being conducted, what main techniques have been used, and how they can be embedded in an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) architecture can enhance the efficiency and development of decision-making systems that deal with trajectory data.
Chromosome Abnormalities in Turkish Men with Primary Infertility

OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to identify the prevalence and types of chromosome anomalies among Turkish men with primary infertility. STUDY DESIGN: A case-control study was undertaken in 474 Turkish men with primary infertility and 450 phenotypically normal fertile men selected for the control group. RESULTS: Azoospermia is defined to be the most frequent spermiogram abnormality within infertile men, followed by oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Chromosomal abnormalities were demonstrated to occur significantly more in azoospermic subjects (28.3%) compared to other infertile subjects (11.5%) and fertile men (0.8%). Klinefelter syndrome was detected to be the most frequent chromosomal abnormality with an overall rate of 10.5%. Azoospermia Factor (AZF) microdeletions occur statistically similar among azoospermic men (4.2%) and other infertile men (2.3%), with a total frequency of 3.2%. CONCLUSION: The high rate of chromosomal anomalies among infertile Turkish men strongly suggests the need for routine cytogenetic analysis prior to the application of assisted reproduction techniques.
Mode-coupling theory of the glass transition for colloidal liquids in slit geometry

ABSTRACT We provide a detailed derivation of the mode-coupling equations for a colloidal liquid confined by two parallel smooth walls. We introduce irreducible memory kernels for the different relaxation channels thereby extending the projection operator technique to colloidal liquids in slit geometry. Investigating both the collective dynamics as well as the tagged-particle motion, we prove that the mode-coupling functional assumes the same form as in the Newtonian case corroborating the universality of the glass-transition singularity with respect to the microscopic dynamics.

¿Cómo influye el liderazgo políticon el comportamiento electoral subestatal? Una aproximación cualitativa

Cuando los electores deciden su voto en unas Elecciones Municipales ¿lo hacen pensando en el candidato o en el partido? ¿O bien hay alguna otra variable crítica que entra en juego al decidir el voto en el ámbito local? En esta investigación realizamos una aproximación cualitativa al fenómeno del voto subestatal. Si bien la evaluación del candidato es un factor particularmente importante a la hora de decidir el voto en unas Elecciones Municipales, éste no es el único y no siempre es el principal elemento decisorio. La revisión del marco teórico existente sobre el comportamiento electoral y las variables / dimensiones que operan en el proceso decisional en Elecciones Municipales es muy escaso. Por ello planteamos un estudio de casos mediante la celebración de grupos de discusión en tres municipios con diferentes realidades históricas respecto al liderazgo personal de los candidatos.
Detailed Analysis of Flow in Two Pelton Turbines with Efficiency and Cavitation Prediction

This paper presents results of the numerical analysis of two Pelton turbines: a 6-jet turbine for middle head and a 2-jet turbine for high head. For the 6-jet turbine losses in manifold, quality of the jets and turbine efficiency were predicted and validated with the experimental data. Additional improvement of accuracy of efficiency prediction was obtained with cavitation modelling. It was also checked that there was no interaction between the evacuating water sheets and the incoming jets. For a 2-jet turbine cavitation prediction was done. Small vapour cavity at the inner side and a larger one at the back side of the bucket were observed. Detailed analysis of cavitation and condensation processes showed that the conditions for cavitation pitting were not fulfilled.
Representing Grasslands Using Dynamic Prognostic Phenology Based on Biological Growth Stages: Part 2. Carbon Cycling

Grasslands are one of the most widely distributed and abundant vegetation types globally, and land surface models struggle to accurately simulate grassland carbon dioxide, energy, and water fluxes. Here we hypothesize that this is due to land surface models having difficulties in reproducing grassland phenology, in particular in response to the seasonal and interannual variability of precipitation. Using leaf area index (LAI), net primary productivity, and flux data at 55 sites spanning climate zones, the aim of this study is to evaluate a novel prognostic phenology model (Simple Biosphere Model, SiB4) while simultaneously illustrating grassland relationships across precipitation gradients. Evaluating from 2000 to 2014, SiB4 predicts daily LAI, carbon, and energy fluxes with root‐mean‐square errors < 15% and individual biases <10%; however, not including management likely reduces its performance. Grassland mean annual LAI increases linearly with mean annual precipitation, with both SiB4 and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) showing a 0.13 increase in LAI per 100‐mm increase in precipitation. Both gross primary production and ecosystem respiration increase with growing season length by ∼8.5 g C m−2 per day, with SiB4 and Fluxnet estimates within 18%. Despite differences in mean annual precipitation and growing season length, all grassland sites shift to seasonal carbon sinks one month prior to peak uptake. During a U.S. drought, MODIS and SiB4 had nearly identical LAI responses, and the LAI change due to drought was less than the LAI change across the precipitation gradient, indicating that grassland drought response is not as strong as the overlying climate response.
Privacy and Auditability in Cloud Assisted Health Data

Cloud security is an emerging concept in data outsourcing in the cloud and also maintaining of multiple copies of each user in different servers is crucial task in data outsourcing in terms of customer cost, memory storage in multi user access in real time distributed systems. Traditionally a Map-Based Provable Multicopy Dynamic Data Possession (MB-PMDDP) plan that has the accompanying components: it gives a proof to the customers can utilize that the CSP is not unfaithful by sparing less duplicates, it encourages outsourcing of intense data, i.e., it encourages piece level capacities, for example, forestall modification, arrangement, evacuation and append and it permits endorsed customers to effortlessly get to the information record copies spared by the CSP. For example consider e-Health care systems for providing security to patients sensitive information with modifications (like insert, deletion, updation) by different peoples and store those files in different servers causes loss of security to patients because of corrupted data in different servers. To support above considerations in multi user data access in this study, we propose to develop, incorporate solace with versatile therapeutic consideration frameworks with the assistance of the private evaluation. Our framework offers critical components, for example, successful key control, security, safeguarding data storage room and recuperation, particularly for recuperation at crisis circumstances and auditability for abusing wellbeing data. Especially, we prescribe to consolidate key control from the pseudo interesting number maker for unlinkability, a sheltered and secured posting technique for solace ensuring catchphrase and key expression search for which disguises both search for and access designs taking into account repetition.
