The Use of Psychoactive Drugs in Elderly Patients with Psychiatric Disorders: Survey Conducted in Twelve Veterans Administration Hospitals

A survey conducted at 12 VA hospitals included the collection of detailed information on the use of psychoactive drugs in 1,276 elderly psychiatric patients. On the day of the survey, 61 per cent of the patients were receiving psychoactive drugs. Prescription practices relating to the choice of drugs, prevalence of drug use, dosage, combination drug preparations, and antiparkinson agents are discussed in terms of such factors as the patient's age and the diagnosis. Also discussed is the literature on psychoactive drugs, particularly as it pertains to elderly populations.
Ultrasound assisted enhanced extraction of lutein ( β , ε-carotene-3 , 3 '-diol ) from Mircroalga ( Chlorella pyrenoidosa ) grown in wastewater : Optimization through Response Surface Methodology

One of the fundamental carotenoid compounds available in microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa is lutein, which is a commercially valuable antioxidant compound. The extraction of lutein from C. pyrenoidosa was studied in detail under various operating conditions. Acid pretreatment was done using 10% HCl. To analyze the effectiveness of ultrasound based extraction, experiments were carried out in presence and absence of ultrasonication. The results showed increased lutein yields in presence of ultrasonication. Scanning electron micrographs of pretreated and ultrasonicated algae cells showed increased surface area due to formation of porous surface. There were no significant contrasts in antioxidant activity of lutein between the samples obtained from ultrasound and acid treatment. Furthermore, to optimize the operating parameters like concentration of HCl, ultrasound exposure time and microalga biomass concentration, response surface methodology (RSM) design was applied. From the experimental results the optimum values derived are incubation time 41.34 min, HCl concentration 15.63 % and biomass concentration 309.21 g/L for a yield of 3.5 mg of lutein per gram of algae. Hence, ultrasound extraction with acid treatment is the most efficient technique for the extraction of microalgal lutein.
Student Perceptions of a Trial of Electronic Text Matching Software: A Preliminary Investigation

It is accepted that using electronic detection methods has benefits within an overall strategy to promote academic integrity in an institution. Little attention has been paid to obtaining student perceptions to evaluate the cost/benefit of using such methods. This study reports on the evaluation of a trial of Turnitin software. 728 students responded to a survey about their thoughts on plagiarism and being involved in the trial. This study found that students were generally unsure about the benefits and whether the university should use the software. In particular, two groups of students showed significant differences to the rest of the students sampled. While Non English Speaking Background (NESB) students reported higher levels of perceived usefulness of the software, they also reported higher levels of anxiety about the impact on them. Law students reported lower levels of perceived usefulness of the software and higher levels of concern and mistrust. The impact of such perceptions on the learning environment needs to be investigated. Special attention may be needed in introducing such software to different groups of students in order to limit possible deleterious effects and enhance potential benefits.
Gradient Probabilistic Models vs Categorical Grammars : A Reply to Sprouse et al . ( 2018 )

In Lau et al. (2017) we present two claims, which we support through two sets of experiments. The first claim is that speaker’s acceptability judgments for sentences are intrinsically gradient rather than binary. The second is that probabilistic machine learning models trained on corpora of naturally occurring text are able to predict human acceptability judgments with an encouraging degree of accuracy. We motivated our first claim with two types of crowd source annotations, using Amazon Mechanical Turk. For the first we used round trip machine translation to introduce a variety of infelicities into test sets of randomly selected sentences from the British National Corpus (BNC), and from Wikipedia. We had Turkers annotate these sentences using a variety of binary and gradient scoring systems. We ran these experiments in English, Spanish, German, and Russian. In the second case we used crowd sourcing to annotate the examples in Adger (2003). 1 Both annotations clearly exhibited a wide range of gradience, both for mean and individual judgments. In the second set of experiments we trained a number of machine learning language models on BNC and Wikipedia corpora, respectively. We applied a sequence of alternative scoring functions to map the logprob values that the models assigned to sentences in a test set to an acceptability rating. These functions normalise probability values by neutralising the influence of word frequency and sentence length. Some of them also track the effect of particular lexical items on the probability of a sentence in which they occur. We argue in detail that, for formal and empirical reasons, neither grammaticality (a theoretical concept), nor acceptability (an observable and measurable property) can be directly reduced to probability. Instead, we map probability distri-
The action of angiotensin and bradykinin on the superior cervical ganglion of the cat.

The experiments were performed on cats of either sex weighing 2-54-0 kg. After inducing anaesthesia with ethyl chloride and ether, spinal preparations were made as described by Burn (1952). With the cat lying on its back, contractions of both nictitating membranes were recorded. The cat's head was slightly elevated and rigidly held in position by tying its jaws tightly around a transverse rod clamped to uprights at the sides of the operating table. A fine silk thread sewn through the middle of the border of each nictitating membrane cartilage was passed around a small pulley and tied to a frontal writing isotonic lever for recording movements of the membrane on a smoked drum. The resting load on each nictitating membrane was 5 g, and the contractions were magnified 14 x. In most experiments arterial blood pressure was recorded with a mercury manometer through a glass cannula in the right femoral artery. Close intra-arterial injections either to the superior cervical ganglion or to the nictitating membrane were made through the central end of the lingual artery in the manner described by Trendelenburg (1959). In most experiments the right and left lingual arteries were cannulated so that injections could be made to both sides. An 8 in. (20 cm) length of fine polyethylene tubing (0-61 min external diameter) was tied into the lingual artery with the tip resting near the external carotid artery. The dead space in the tubing was about 0 04 ml. To achieve a net injection volume of 0-1 ml. , the total volume for each intra-arterial injection was 0-14 ml. To reach the ganglion from the lingual artery the injected drugs have to pass back in the external carotid to the arteries supplying the ganglion, that is, they have to be injected retrogradely. For such retrograde injections the external carotid was first clamped just distal to the origin of the lingual artery and the injection was then made rapidly within 2 sec. The clamp was removed 60 see later. Injections to the membrane were
MULTI-LEVEL ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INTERNET FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

This study developed an improved multi-level access control system for internet financial transactions. It formulated, simulated and evaluated the performance of the model. This was with a view of preventing internet financial transaction fraud, which mitigates against users. Three factors of entity authentication policies in four levels were integrated. The model was transformed into an algorithm and simulated with MATLAB. A set of passwords, challenge questions, token codes and Iris images were obtained to serve as input data to the simulated model. Performance comparison of the proposed model with an existing model was carried out using False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) as metrics. The result showed that 50% of FAR and 5% of FRR was recorded resulting in 50 % and 95 % Total Success Rate (TSR) respectively in the existing scheme. In the proposed scheme, FAR of 3 % and 0 % FRR were achieved, this implied 97 % and 100 % TSR respectively. The research implementation served its purpose when compared with the existing scheme by showing a better performance in users’ authentication. This proposed system can be effective in protecting sensitive customers’ information by significantly reducing the rate of internet financial transaction frauds.
Specific Path of Integrating Socialist Core Values into College Students' Career Education

The cultivation of college students' core values should be guided by socialist core values, combined with professional characteristics, to integrate the professionalism required by the industry, meet the needs of society and enterprises, and meet the vital interests of contemporary college students. Through the integration of socialist core values, it provides a new way to solve these problems. From this, it puts forward that socialist core values dominate a variety of theories, trains students' reasonable professional values, and updates the content system of ideological and political education. From the perspective of development ideas, this paper explores the path to integrate socialist core values into college students' career planning education. The core value of socialism runs through the whole process of college students' career education, which can help college students establish lofty career ideals and unify their personal ideals with social ideals.
[Study on the expression and their relationship among P27, Bcl-2 and VEGF in lung cancer].

BACKGROUND The occurrence of cancer needs many kinds of oncogenes and their cooperation, such as Bcl-2, p27, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) etc. They have different contributions in lung cancer's occurrence and development by different paths. In this study the expression of P27, Bcl-2, VEGF and their relationship in lung cancer were investigated. METHODS The expression of P27, Bcl-2 and VEGF was detected in 85 lung cancer and 21 benign pulmonary tissues by the immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS Positive rate of VEGF and Bcl-2 protein expression was 65.88% (56/85) and 61.18% (52/85) respectively in lung cancer tissue, which was higher than that in benign pulmonary tissues (14.29% and (19.05%)) (P < 0.05). Positive rate of P27 protein expression in lung cancer tissue (37.65%, 32/85) was significantly lower than that in benign pulmonary tissues (80.95%, 17/21) (P < 0.05). VEGF expression was closely related to the grade of cell differentiation, P-TNM stage and lymph node status; Bcl-2 expression was closely related to histology of lung cancer, P-TNM stage and grade of cell differentiation; and P27 expression was closely related to grade of cell differentiation. There was correlation between P27 and Bcl-2 and between P27 and VEGF protein, but no correlation between Bcl-2 and VEGF. CONCLUSIONS Detection of P27, Bcl-2 and VEGF will be valuable for dignosing lung cancer and evaluating malignancy extent.
Metalloproteinases and their regulators in colorectal cancer

Metalloproteinases (MPs) such as the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and adamalysins (ADAMs and ADAMTS) are expressed in various stages of colorectal cancer (CRC), and some correlate with survival and prognosis. The MPs are regulated by various factors including EMMPRIN, TIMPs, and RECK. In addition, micro‐RNAs are found to be relevant for both MP expression levels and CRC prognostication. Both MPs and their regulators could be potential targets for intervention and therapy in CRC. J. Surg. Oncol. 2010; 101:259–269. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Linguistic and Cultural Assimilation as a Human Capital Process

I develop a learning-by-doing theory of cultural assimilation, in which an individual’s cultural identity is determined by past investments in culture-specific social capital. The model incorporates several empirically relevant aspects of assimilation that have been difficult to explain in past models. The mechanism in my model yields two possible qualitative outcomes of the assimilation process, depending on the intertemporal complementarities of investment. The first, in which individuals become more homogeneous over time, has been used to explain immigrants’ wage assimilation. The second, in which individuals become more heterogeneous as some assimilate and some do not, has vastly different implications for immigration and integration policies. Using detailed datasets from three immigrant destination countries, I provide a variety of evidence from linguistic, identity, and religiosity measures that cultural assimilation (in contrast to economic assimilation) most closely resembles the second type of process. ∗Many thanks to Steven Durlauf, John Eric Humphries, Ed Lazear, Casey Mulligan, Kevin Murphy, Maureen Pirog, Karl Schurter, Kevin Tsui, and seminar audiences at the UChicago Applications Workshop, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WEAI Graduate Student Workshop, RAND Corporation, and Clemson University for helpful comments. †University of Chicago, 1126 E. 59th St., Chicago, IL 60637, jmarrone@uchicago.edu
5-15-2019 ENTERPRISE SOCIAL MEDIA MODERATION AND USER GENERATED CONTENT QUALITY : A CRITICAL DISCUSSION AND NEW INSIGHTS

Social network platforms in enterprises are an increasingly important phenomenon. Thus, the participation and content generation of users are critical aspects of the sustainable use of these enterprise social media (ESM) services. However, at the same time, organizations need to ensure the quality of user-generated content (UGC), which remains a challenge for ESM moderation. In this structured literature review, we investigate measures to identify high-quality UGC and organizational approaches to promote such UGC. We categorize our findings as textual-, content appraisal, networkand author-based measures. We follow up by assigning each measure to a motivation and localization approach. We reflect on opportunities to transfer public social media measures into an ESM environment. We conclude our examination of UGC quality by integrating the UGC quality dimension into an ESM moderation framework and by outlining implications for research and practice.
Combined nanoimprint and photolithography of integrated polymer optics

We demonstrate wafer-scale fabrication by combined nanoimprint and photolithography (CNP) of integrated polymer optics, combining active and passive polymer components with nm to mm features. Distributed feed-back (DFB) polymer dye lasers are integrated with polymer waveguides. The laser devices are defined in SU-8 resist, doped with Rhodamine 6G laser dye, shaped as planar slab waveguides on a Fused Silica buffer substrate, and with a lst-order DFB surface corrugation forming the laser resonator. When optically pumped at 532 nm, lasing is obtained in the wavelength range 560 nm -600 nm, determined by the grating period. Our results, where 20 laser devices are defined across a 10 cm diameter wafer substrate, demonstrate the feasibility of CNP for wafer-scale fabrication of advanced nano-structured active and passive polymer optical components.
SPATIO-TEMPORAL CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

A reliable long-lead (5-15 days ahead) prediction of extreme precipitation cluster is vitally important for regional flooding forecasting. A significant research effort is to develop methods for making longlead flood forecasts using machine learning techniques,as current physics-based numerical simulation models can be extremely complex to account for compounding uncertainty in measurements and modeling. Accurate precipitation forecasts by numerical weather prediction models are limited to a few days lead-time, because non-linearity in the governing equations of the atmosphere creates a sensitive dependence on initial conditions. We design a novel Spatio-Temporal Convolutional Neural Network (ST-CNN) to fully utilize the spatial and temporal information and automatically learn underlying patterns of precipitation precursors from data for extreme precipitation cluster prediction. We validate the ST-CNN model using 62 years historical precipitation data collected in the State of Iowa, USA, from 1948-2010.
Impact of knowledge cafes on knowledge sharing within a managed security service provider ( MSSP )

Knowledge sharing has become a vital process in contributing to the success of any organization. So it is essential for any organization to be aware of and to understand the various knowledge sharing techniques that exist. As a result knowledge sharing can be used among experts for organization's mission and purposes. In this paper an in-depth literature review was conducted which focused on knowledge sharing and the various concepts associated with knowledge sharing. In fact the main objective of the study was to evaluate the application of informal networks with emphasis on knowledge cafes as a technique for knowledge sharing within a managed security service provider(MSSP), because beside the formal networks within such a company , also an informal environments such as knowledge cafés are often emphasized as facilitating knowledge sharing. Essentially in this paper we gathered and documented information on knowledge cafés as a knowledge sharing technique and recommended that knowledge cafés can be used effectively as a technique for knowledge sharing within a MSSP, when appropriate criteria and guidelines are applied.
Gender-related morphological characteristics in preschool children of Kolubara district

The aim of this study was to establish the genderrelated differences among children 6-6.5 years of age in anthropometric characteristics so as to observe their development and make more appropriate selection for participation in guided and organised physical activities. A battery of 7 anthropometric measurements was used on the representative sample of 175 subjects of both genders from Valjevo (M=45 aged 6 and M=83 aged 6.5; F = 44 aged 6 and F=43 aged 6.5). The multivariate analysis of variance showed the existence of statistically significant differences (p=0.00) in the anthropometric space of the two ages analysed regarding the gender. Through the individual analysis, the differences at age 6 were found in the Upper arm skin fold variable (p=0.03) and the Back-skin fold (p=0.00), whereas with the 6.5-year-old subjects, the differences were found in the Body height variable (p=0.03), Upper arm skin fold (p=0.00) and Back skin fold (p=0.02), both in favour of the boys. It can be assumed that the differences are the result of the endogenous and exogenous factors upon the children's organism in the period of childhood in a smaller urban community of the southwest Serbia.
Electroencephalographic Periodic Discharges and Frequency-Dependent Brain Tissue Hypoxia in Acute Brain Injury

Importance Periodic discharges (PDs) that do not meet seizure criteria, also termed the ictal interictal continuum, are pervasive on electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings after acute brain injury. However, their association with brain homeostasis and the need for clinical intervention remain unknown. Objective To determine whether distinct PD patterns can be identified that, similar to electrographic seizures, cause brain tissue hypoxia, a measure of ongoing brain injury. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective cohort study included 90 comatose patients with high-grade spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent continuous surface (scalp) EEG (sEEG) recording and multimodality monitoring, including invasive measurements of intracortical (depth) EEG (dEEG), partial pressure of oxygen in interstitial brain tissue (PbtO2), and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF). Patient data were collected from June 1, 2006, to September 1, 2014, at a single tertiary care center. The retrospective analysis was performed from September 1, 2014, to May 1, 2016, with a hypothesis that the effect on brain tissue oxygenation was primarily dependent on the discharge frequency. Main Outcomes and Measures Electroencephalographic recordings were visually classified based on PD frequency and spatial distribution of discharges. Correlations between mean multimodality monitoring data and change-point analyses were performed to characterize electrophysiological changes by applying bootstrapping. Results Of the 90 patients included in the study (26 men and 64 women; mean [SD] age, 55 [15] years), 32 (36%) had PDs on sEEG and dEEG recordings and 21 (23%) on dEEG recordings only. Frequencies of PDs ranged from 0.5 to 2.5 Hz. Median PbtO2 was 23 mm Hg without PDs compared with 16 mm Hg at 2.0 Hz and 14 mm Hg at 2.5 Hz (differences were significant for 0 vs 2.5 Hz based on bootstrapping). Change-point analysis confirmed a temporal association of high-frequency PD onset (≥2.0 Hz) and PbtO2 reduction (median normalized PbtO2 decreased by 25% 5-10 minutes after onset). Increased regional CBF of 21.0 mL/100 g/min for 0 Hz, 25.9 mL/100 g/min for 1.0 Hz, 27.5 mL/100 g/min for 1.5 Hz, and 34.7 mL/100 g/min for 2.0 Hz and increased global cerebral perfusion pressure of 91 mm Hg for 0 Hz, 100.5 mm Hg for 0.5 Hz, 95.5 mm Hg for 1.0 Hz, 97.0 mm Hg for 2.0 Hz, 98.0 mm Hg for 2.5 Hz, 95.0 mm Hg for 2.5 Hz, and 67.8 mm Hg for 3.0 Hz were seen for higher PD frequencies. Conclusions and Relevance These data give some support to consider redefining the continuum between seizures and PDs, suggesting that additional damage after acute brain injury may be reflected by frequency changes in electrocerebral recordings. Similar to seizures, cerebral blood flow increases in patients with PDs to compensate for the increased metabolic demand but higher-frequency PDs (>2 per second) may be inadequately compensated without an additional rise in CBF and associated with brain tissue hypoxia, or higher-frequency PDs may reflect inadequacies in brain compensatory mechanisms.
