The assessment of nutrient availability for the growth of freshwater green algae Chlorella kessleri by bioassay ( Lake Sakadaš , NP Kopa č ki Rit )

In most lake ecosystems, phytoplankton growth may be controlled by the supply of limiting nutrients, usually nitrogen or phosphorus. However, due to anthropogenic impact the phytoplankton in freshwaters increasingly tends to be nitrogen limited (Aldridge et al., 1995). Algal biomass and overall ecosystem productivity may be controlled not only by the type but as well by the intensity of nutrient availability. The algal growth potential of Chlorella kessleri measured in bioassay primarily depends on the nutrient concentration in tested waters (Lukavský, 1992). Based on the concept of algal nutrient limitation, the algal bioassay is also a responsive test designed to examine algal growth response to nutrient enrichment (Downing et al., 1999). Therefore, the addition of nitrogen and phosphorus to tested waters causes a growth response of C. kessleri proportional to the magnitude of limitation of the particular nutrient (Horvatić et al., 2006). The aim of this paper was to determine the availability of nutrients and the degree of N and P limitation in the water samples of Lake Sakadaš by a miniaturized bioassay method.
Constructing a Knowledge Base of Onomatopoeia-Action Relations for an Interactive Illustrated Storybook

This paper presents an interactive illustrated storybook for PCs and tablets, which can impart virtual actions to the characters and phenomena (e.g., “raining,” “flowers swaying”) in a story on the basis of onomatopoeias (e.g., “Para Para,” “ByuByu-.”) input by the user. In order to create a knowledge base for this system, we investigate the correspondence between the onomatopoeias and the characters/phenomena using tweets containing onomatopoeias. This paper describes the proposed system and the method for obtaining the above mentioned correspondence.
The role of discriminatory social institutions in female South-South migration

Migration patterns, choices and outcomes are not gender neutral. There are important gender differences in the drivers and patterns of migration which merit further analysis. Today, women account for close to half of migrants (UNDESA 2013). For the most part, policy attention has focused on female South-North migration. This seems justified by the large numbers of women migrating to the North: in 2013, women represented 52% of all migrants in the North. Their motives for migrating to the North can be explained by a search for better economic opportunities and social conditions related to gender discrimination. For example, sex-based discrimination in the labour market has been identified as an important factor in driving female North-North migration (Baudassé and Bazillier, 2013). However, given that South-South migration represents over 50% of the total migrant stock and women accounted for 43% of all migrants in the South (UNDESA, 2013), expanding analysis to understand the gender dynamics of this type of migration is of increasing importance for migration policies and research.
Short-term DNI forecasting using cloud history patterns matching

In this work, one novel short-term Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) forecasting method using cloud history patterns matching (CHPM) is proposed. Unlike existing persistent and linear DNI prediction schemes that use cloud coverage only, the proposed CHPM method considers both the cloud coverage and the Influence of other Atmospheric Particulates (IoAP), such as the absorbing, reflecting and scattering of DNI by aerosols, particles and water vapor column. Considering the temporal similarity in a short time, the IoAP can be predicted using historical data by CHPM. Our experimental results using TSI (Total Sky Imager) images show that the proposed method outperforms the existing persistent and linear prediction approaches in term of root mean square error (RMSE).
Activation of the human diaphragm during a repetitive postural task

The co‐ordination between respiratory and postural functions of the diaphragm was investigated during repetitive upper limb movement. It was hypothesised that diaphragm activity would occur either tonically or phasically in association with the forces from each movement and that this activity would combine with phasic respiratory activity. Movements of the upper limb and ribcage were measured while standing subjects performed repetitive upper limb movements ‘as fast as possible’. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings of the costal diaphragm were made using intramuscular electrodes in four subjects. Surface electrodes were placed over the deltoid and erector spinae muscles. In contrast to standing at rest, diaphragm activity was present throughout expiration at 78 ± 17% (mean ± s.d.) of its peak inspiratory magnitude during repeated upper limb movement. Bursts of deltoid and erector spinae EMG activity occurred at the limb movement frequency (≈2.9 Hz). Although the majority of diaphragm EMG power was at the respiratory frequency (≈0.4 Hz), a peak was also present at the movement frequency. This finding was corroborated by averaged EMG activity triggered from upper limb movement. In addition, diaphragm EMG activity was coherent with ribcage motion at the respiratory frequency and with upper limb movement at the movement frequency. The diaphragm response was similar when movement was performed while sitting. In addition, when subjects moved with increasing frequency the peak upper limb acceleration correlated with diaphragm EMG amplitude. These findings support the argument that diaphragm contraction is related to trunk control. The results indicate that activity of human phrenic motoneurones is organised such that it contributes to both posture and respiration during a task which repetitively challenges trunk posture.

From cooperative to motivated information sharing in groups: moving beyond the hidden profile paradigm

A seminal study conducted by Stasser and Titus (1985) found that groups often make suboptimal decisions on tasks structured as hidden profiles because they tend to discuss and incorporate into their decisions information that is shared (known to all members) at the expense of information that is unshared (known to a single member). In other words, groups are not able to take advantage of the unique knowledge and expertise of their members. Over the past 19 years this unsettling finding has stimulated much research that seeks answers to the questions: why and under what conditions will groups favor shared information over unshared information in their collective decisions? This article presents a review and a critique of the literature on collective information sharing that was initiated by the Stasser and Titus study. The preponderance of research in the Stasser and Titus tradition carries with it strong theoretical assumptions that bear little mundane realism to natural decision‐making groups. For example, group members are presumed to work cooperatively with one another, to be unbiased, and to present information in an objective manner. In contrast, this paper lays out the perspective that information exchange is a motivated process whereby members deliberately select what information to mention and how to mention it to particular members in order to satisfy goals.
The hippocampus is necessary for the consolidation of a task that does not require the hippocampus for initial learning

During sleep, the hippocampus plays an active role in consolidating memories that depend on it for initial encoding. There are hints in the literature that the hippocampus may have a broader influence, contributing to the consolidation of memories that may not initially require the area. We tested this possibility by evaluating learning and consolidation of the motor sequence task (MST) in hippocampal amnesics and demographically matched control participants. While the groups showed similar initial learning, only controls exhibited evidence of overnight consolidation. These results demonstrate that the hippocampus can be required for normal consolidation of a task without being required for its acquisition, suggesting that the area plays a broader role in coordinating memory consolidation than has previously been assumed.
asociados a la violencia en el noviazgo entre adolescentes : una revisión crítica

This paper presents a critical review of factors related to adolescent dating violence. More than 30 variables were found and then clustered into risk, protective, and modulator factors. Although most of these factors have been consistently associated with dating violence (perpetration, victimization, or both) some of them (e.g., sex, ethnic, residence, family structure, socioeconomic status, and exposure to violent videogames or media) show controversial results. The identification of key factors may lead to a more accurate knowledge of adolescent dating violence in order to implement more effective and efficient intervention
Identification and purification of novel internalin-related proteins in Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii

Monoclonal antibodies were generated against a 30-kDa protein fraction derived from culture supernatants of a Listeria monocytogenes strain complemented with additional copies of the prfA regulator gene. Several of the antibodies reacted specifically with a hitherto unidentified, secreted 30-kDa polypeptide. By immunoblot analysis, the expression of this 30kDa polypeptide was found to be dependent on the presence of the PrfA regulator protein. Microsequencing of peptides derived from the partially purified 30-kDa protein revealed homologies to the InlA and InlB polypeptides of L. monocytogenes, which are required for the internalization of the bacteria into nonphagocytic cell lines. This prompted us to term the 30-kDa polypeptide internalin-related protein (Irp). Irp-specific monoclonal antibodies cross-reacted with a 24-kDa polypeptide present in culture supernatants of Listeria ivanovii, indicating the existence of an Irp-related protein in this pathogenic Listeria species.

Pharmakotherapie der ADHS im Erwachsenenalter

Die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) ist eine neurobiologische Entwicklungsstörung mit den Kernsymptomclustern Aufmerksamkeitsstörungen, Impulsivität und/ oder Hyperaktivität [18], die im Kindesalter beginnt und sich bei vielen Betroffenen ins Erwachsenenalter fortsetzt. Die Prävalenz der ADHS beträgt entsprechend Metaanalysen im Kindesund Jugendalter weltweit etwa 5 % [83, 91] und im Erwachsenenalter etwa 2,5 % [95]. ADHS hat eine hohe genetische Komponente. Bei biologischen Verwandten von Kindern mit ADHS liegt häufiger ebenfalls ADHS vor als bei Verwandten von adoptierten Kindern mit ADHS [43]. Zwillingsstudien zeigen eine Heritabilität der ADHS von 70 bis 80 % sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei Erwachsenen [23, 44]. Als ätiologisch relevante Umweltfaktoren gelten Alkoholund Nicotin-Exposition in der Schwangerschaft [32, 72, 96], niedriges Geburtsgewicht und Frühgeburtlichkeit. Der Zusammenhang zwischen ADHS und der Exposition gegenüber verschiedenen Umweltgiften während des Kindesalters wird kontrovers beurteilt. In einer älteren Übersichtsarbeit fanden sich keine empirischen Belege für einen Einfluss von Umweltgiften [19], während neuere Analysen Hinweise auf eine mögliche Beteiligung liefern [13, 90]. Pathophysiologisch werden Veränderungen der dopaminergen und noradrenergen Neurotransmission beschrieben [9]. In funktionell bildgebenden Untersuchungen findet sich eine geringere Aktivierung in frontostriatalen, frontoparietalen und ventralen Aufmerksamkeits-Netzwerken [31]. Neuere Untersuchungen zeigen auch Veränderungen im Default-Mode-Netzwerk (DMN; Tagträumen, Grübeln) sowie keine oder eine geringere Verbindung des DMN zum für die kognitive Kontrolle zuständigen Netzwerk [84]. Bei Belohnungsaufgaben ist die Aktivierung im ventralen Striatum niedriger [82]. In longitudinalen Untersuchungen finden sich Hinweise auf eine Ent wicklungsverzögerung des Kortex insbesondere der für exekutive Funktionen, Aufmerksamkeit und motorische Kontrolle relevanten präfrontalen Regionen [92].
High expression of STC 1 is associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer patients

Background: Breast cancer, the most common female malignant tumor which incidence increased year by year, has become severe threat to women’s health. Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) was firstly identified as hypocalcemic hormone in bony fish. Then studies suggested STC1 can function as an oncogene in human. In this study, we investigated the relationship between STC1 expression and its prognostic value in breast cancer patients. Methods: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression level of STC1 in 157 breast cancer tissue samples and corresponding noncancerous breast tissue specimens. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the STC1 in breast cancer patients. Results: The results showed that the STC1 mRNA expressed significantly higher in breast cancer tissues than that in paired noncancerous tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of STC1 was significantly correlated with tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05). In addition, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated that high STC1 expression implied poor overall survival of breast cancer patients. Moreover, Cox analysis showed that the STC1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer patients (P = 0.049, HR = 1.825 and 95% CI: 1.003-3.321). Conclusion: All the results suggested that up-regulation of STC1 expression may act as a novel and specific biomarker of the aggressive poor prognosis for breast cancer patients.
Interdisciplinary Shared Decision‐Making: Taking Shared Governance to the Next Level

Healthcare organizations have been challenged to make high-quality, safe, and reliable care more affordable, portable, transparent, and efficient. Skillful leadership and contributions from all members of the organization are needed to accomplish these changes. This article describes how one organization, driven by a vision for finding better ways, embarked on a journey to design, implement, and refine their model for interdisciplinary shared decision-making (SDM). The model was based on the principles of accountability, equity, ownership, and partnership, and designed to support staff members in right decision-making at the point of service. The success of SDM depends on leaders who believe in the process and demonstrate their commitment by holding front-line managers accountable for allocating resources and coaching staff. Point-of-service staff, in turn, must accept ownership and accountability for the content of their work and be willing to develop their SDM knowledge, comfort, and skills over time. Preliminary outcomes indicate that these new processes have had a positive effect in helping the organization find better ways to innovate and improve patient care.
Education Study on Minority Students in Universities from the Perspective of Intercultural Adaptation

Minority students in colleges and universities are the national valuable human resources, the growth of their success is related to the prosperity and development of the ethnic minority areas, ethnic unity and social stability. In order to explore the education problem of minority students from the perspective of intercultural adaptation theory, the authors first elaborate the basic connotation and theoretical method of intercultural adaptation theory. At the same time, the authors should apply the intercultural adaptation theory to the adaptability of college minority students’ education, and then analyze the characteristics of college minority students and existing problems. Finally, the authors will propose the application of this theory in education for minority students in universities, so as to provide effective methods for it. Keywords—intercultural adaptation; ethnic minority students;
Prescribing Sunshine: Evidence for Vitamin D Supplements.

V itamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. Extreme or prolonged vitamin D deficiency results in softening of bone, especially in children. Until the mid20th century, ricketswas a commonpart of the human condition. The addition of vitamin D to milk and cereals and multivitamins has made rickets rare in developed countries. However, for many areas of the world, vitamin D deficiency is common. Vitamin D deficiency is more than bone disease. This fat-soluble metabolite regulates cell activity, growth, and development. After activation in the kidney and liver, vitaminD binds to cell surfaces, and amultitude of intracellular pathways are activated that influence bone calcium homeostasis, immunity, and inflammation. The increasing number of genes being identified as affected by vitamin D suggests that vitamin D may play vast and significant roles in health. Emerging evidence also suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and depression. There are 2 forms of vitamin D: D2 or ergocalciferol and D3 or cholecalciferol, both of which can be obtained in fortified foods and some types of fish such as herring, mackerel, sardines, and tuna. However, nearly 90% of vitamin D is obtained through exposure to sunlight because endogenous production of D3 relies on exposure toUV light. LowproductionofD3 canbe a functionof high latitude, dark skin pigment, protective clothing, and use of sunblock. Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide health problem. While everyone seems to know the health benefits of vitamin D, defining what vitamin D deficiency is has not been so clear. Furthermore, the lack of randomized controlled clinical trials that demonstrate health benefits beyond bone health has encouraged the cynicism concerning the benefits of vitamin D supplementation.
Satisfaction with Democracy and Democratic Accountability Strategies ∗

Using both a cross-national data set on parties’ accountability strategies and public opinion survey data, the paper sets forth a systematic analysis of how parties’ reliance on clientelistic strategies affects citizen evaluations of regime performance. The analysis distinguishes between-country and within-country effects of parties’ clientelistic efforts. The results suggest that citizens tend to show a lower level of satisfaction with democracy in countries where parties more heavily rely on clientelistic strategies. In addition, in countries where clientelism prevails, the political majority/minority gap in levels of satisfaction is larger. Within countries, supporters of parties that make substantial clientelistic efforts are more likely to evaluate the political system positively. The within-country positive effects of clientelism are strengthened if the clientelistic parties are large, have extensive external linkages, or in countries with lower democratic quality. Along with a preliminary analysis on citizens’ regime preferences and protest potential, the results suggest that citizens of clientelistic democracies are generally more cynical about democracy, but within countries, it is the non-supporters of clientelistic parties who are especially dissatisfied and have the highest protest potential. ∗This paper is based on a dataset collected under the auspices of the project Political Accountability in Democratic Party Competition and Economic Governance, implemented by a political science research group at Duke University (Principal Investigator: Herbert Kitschelt, Department of Political Science).
