ANTIQUITY AND AUTHORSHIP OF THE CHAUVET ROCK ART

The veracity of the carbon isotope dating att empts relating to the rock art in Chauvet Cave is reviewed, together with the merits of their criticisms. The att ribution of the cave art to the Aurignacian is validated by several factors and stylistic objections are refuted. The question of the ethnicity of the Aurignacian artists is also considered, leading to the cognisance that they are very unlikely to have been 'anatomically modern' humans. There is currently no sound evidence that the 'Aurignacians' were not robust Homo sapiens people, i.e. Neanderthals or their descendants. The gracilisation humans experienced in the Final Pleistocene and Holocene is att ributed not to evolutionary processes, but to cultural intervention through breeding preferences leading to the neotenous features characterising present-day humans.
An intelligent service robot using purposive vision

An intelligent robot system is described. The system consists of a Nomad 200 mobile robot having a ring of 16 ultrasonic sensors, and a pan-tilt mechanism with a CCD camera mounted on the top. Navigation is based on landmark tracing using active and purposive vision. The proposed technique significantly reduces the processing time and increases system efficiency. The body movements and head movements are guided by the coordination of sonar readings and camera image inputs.
Left and Right in Science and Art

An asymmetric object can exist in two left-right mirror-image forms, enantiomorphs, a phenomenon which has fascinated philosophers, cosmologists and artists. Psychologists and neurophysiologists have been particularly puzzled by the extreme difficulty children and other animals have in learning to distinguish left-right mirror images. The authors propose an explanation of why mirror images are so confusing. In the natural world almost all mirror images are actually two aspects of the same object, for example, the two sides of a face or a silhouette viewed from the front and back. Therefore a perceptual mechanism that treats mirror images as equivalent would be adaptive. The perceptual equivalence of mirror images only becomes maladaptive or confusing under very special conditions. One of these is learning an orthography containing mirror images such as b and d. Difficulty in learning to read, may, in part, be due to difficulty in overcoming the normal tendency to treat mirror images as the same stimulus. In the final portion of the paper the authors consider the effects of mirror-reversing a painting and, more generally, left and right in pictorial space. They suggest that some pictorial anisotropies, such as profile orientation, reflect the influence of lateralized brain functions, whereas others, such as the tendency to look at a picture from left to right, are cultural conventions.
Living Metaphors: Recent Black Music Biography

Throughout his autobiography Music is My Mistress (1973), Duke Ellington, in his elegant, amused way, refers to fellow musicians as gladiators. No doubt, Ellington means to suggest the combat of cutting contests, the old-warhorse perseverance of professionals, and the resemblance of personal appearance tours to military campaigns. But the term also evokes an image of the professional combatant, the condemned prisoner, or the slave entertaining the Romans by engaging in mortal combat and awaiting the life-or-death, thumbs-up or thumbs-down sign from the mob for his efforts. Like Ellington's epithet, six new books-four biographies, an autobiography, and a collection of biographical portraits-all published in 1983, provide vivid reminders of the strange, even dangerous, relationship performers have with their audiences. Musicians, like actors, put their bodies on the line. Such entertainment, such ingratiation with the audience as they achieve, is largely accomplished through their physical equipment-vocal chords, lungs, hands, feet, face-and extensions of it such as costumes, instruments, and props. The mere mention of performers like Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, or, for that matter, Leonard Bernstein or Miles Davis, calls up for many people images of stage behavior that may be more vivid than the music itself. The study of scores or of performances frozen on record deflects us from this obvious truth and from its obvious
Bathers as a possible source of contamination for swimming‐associated illness at marine bathing beaches

The results of a prospective, follow‐up epidemiological study conducted at three Israeli coastal beaches in 1983 showed that enteric, respiratory and ear symptomatology were higher among swimmers than nonswimmers, especially for young children. The enterococcus levels and the swimming‐associated rates for enteric and respiratory symptoms at one of the beaches (Gordon) were at least twice those at another beach (Rishon Lezion). The higher swimming‐associated symptom rates at Gordon Beach, however, were largely attributable to individuals who swam on Saturdays, which are non‐working days in Israel, as opposed to Fridays and Sundays. The absence of extrinsic sources of pollution, the restricted water exchange due to horizontal surf‐breakers, the greater bather density and higher indicator levels (including those of Staphylococcus aureus) on Saturdays and the better correlation of S. aureus than enterococcus (or Escherichia cofi) levels to swimming‐associated enteric and respiratory symptoms, suggests that co.
PHYSICIAN AND PHARMACIST OPINION ON DIABETES MELLITUS AND THE MOST COMMONLY PRESCRIBED ANTI-DIABETIC DRUG IN VARIOUS DISTRICTS OF U.P. (WEST), INDIA

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a chronic hyperglycemic condition resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. The prevalence of diabetes is increasing rapidly worldwide and the World Health Organization indicates global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 9% among adults aged 18+ years and it will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030. The aim of this paper is to gather latest information on the prevalence of Diabetes among the human society and also to investigate pharmaceutical marketing of Metformin and its combinations used for Diabetes Mellitus in various districts of U.P. (West) region. The survey was based on the questionnaire which was presented before the physicians and the pharmacist in-charge on medical store to get information about the patient having diabetes mellitus and commonly prescribed brands of Metformin alone and its combination with other anti-diabetic drugs. On the basis of physician’s opinion on the Diabetes (type 2), 65.78% of patients from total OPD patients was found to have diabetes, 49.76% patients are type-2 patients, 7.45% of teenagers was fall in the category of having type-1 diabetes and 8.57% were among the new patients of diabetes. There are 20 and 30 brands in Metformin (and its HCl salt), Metformin (and its HCl salt) with other anti-diabetic drug categories, respectively. The sale of Glyciphage of Franco Indian Remedies brand of the Metformin only, Diapride M 1 containing Glimepiride and Metformin 500 mg from Micro Labs Ltd., respective categories, were highest in the area of interest. KEYWORDS: Diabetes Mellitus, Metformin (and its HCl salt), Combination drugs, Marketing Investigation.
Pathogenic Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Cancer

Tremendous progress in pathogenic role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in diverse cancers triggering the cancer research in the direction of COX-2 inhibitors. Several experimental studies reported overexpression of COX-2 in cancer cells. Mechanisms mediating the pathobiology of COX-2 in cancer are still unclear and needs to be clarified. However, recent studies have shown that the levels of COX-2 isoenzymes are elevated in certain cancers like colo-rectal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and certain cancers of lung and breast. Our review article aims to summarize the role of COX-2 in various types of cancer and mechanisms emerged from recent research and their interaction with other cytokines. It seems mechanisms mediating COX-2 and its role in each cancer may be different. In general, possible signaling from the lipids (prostaglandins) can inhibit apoptosis and increase proliferation, motility, and metastatic potential. Furthermore, under certain conditions COX-2 can contribute to angiogenesis. Even, COX-2 is found in lung cancer cells that are responsible for suppressing patients’ immune systems and therefore contributing to the growth of lung cancer. COX-2 inhibitors are already in clinical trials for the prevention of colorectal, oral, skin, esophageal and non-small-cell lung cancers and for the treatment of cervical, prostate, and metastatic breast cancers. Heightened role of COX-2 in cancer prompts the pharmaceutical research to design new and safer COX-2 inhibitors to minimize the cardiovascular side effects and improves the treatment of cancer.

Cuidados centrados en el desarrollo: análisis y propuesta de mejora en el CHN

The World Health Organization calculates that 15 million of premature children born per year in the world. The most premature have complications to adapting to extrauterine life. The Center Development Care (CDC) looks for improving the neural-sensorial development of the child by implicating the parents in the care. Nevertheless, the participation of the family in the cares is never completed. In this project the CDC are analized in the context of the Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra's Neonatology Unit and its purpose is to do a prenatal visit to the unit and the realization of individualized cares plans orientated to parents, on the basis of the bibliographical realized review.
Suicide: A European Perspective

Nils Retterstol, Cambridge University Press, (pound)35, pp 261; ISBN 0-521-42099-7 Suicide tests us to the limits of our beliefs concerning why we are here and what we are about. The many unknowns surrounding it mean that whatever aspect of it we consider we are confronted with polarised views. The clinical approach, which assumes that most suicidal people are mentally ill, with the implication that prevention is feasible in at least some of them, is challenged by those who invoke individual personal autonomy (the right to decide for the self) and challenge what they see as the inappropriateness of …
PERCEPCION DE LA SONRISA GENGIVAVAL Y MICRODONCIA EN LA POBLACION DE TEPIC, NAYARIT

The media provide us with a stereotype of beauty and because of this, dental cosmetology has increased its demand in a remarkable way. According to established aesthetic parameters, in the diagnosis and orthodontic treatment plan, we are sometimes faced with various factors that hinder an adequate completion. The orthodontist is often limited in planning an interdisciplinary management of the patient, due to the lack of economic means of the same. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the perception of the general population, general dentists and orthodontists. The study was carried out by means of a survey of three groups of 30 members each: orthodontists, general practice dentists and the general public, the results were analyzed in the statistical program SPSS 15, calculating analysis of variance, and using a value of p <0.05 . The results obtained were as follows: in relation to the gingival smile, orthodontists and dentists of general practice detected the gingival smile, but the general public does not perceive it. In relation to microdoncia, orthodontists detected this alteration in relation to 3 mm. 1mm dentists and the general public detected it at 4mm.
The Artist as Educator: Challenges in Museum-Based Residences

Responses mainstream audiences, which often perceive it as a hermetic language, and to engage people of color from previously untapped working-class communities and recent immigrant populations. Throughout the 198os and 199os, museum education departments began to address America's changing demographics long before curatorial departments did. Thus, more often than not, multiculturalism entered museums through their education departments, which in large
Edgard Varèse on Music and Art: A Conversation between Varèse and Alcopley

Often and over many years I have visited Vartse and Louise, his charming wife, in their hospitable home a t 188 Sullivan Street in New York. There, one is surrounded by many paintings and drawings. They are from LCger, Miro, Gonzalez, Bissitre, Hartung, Duchamp, Calder, myself and many others-all the gifts of his friends, the artists themselves. Suspended from a ceiling is a mobile by Calder. There is a Corot and a Monticelli, great favorites of Vartse. There is an ancient Japanese calligraphy with the portrait of a sage, the gift of the young Japanese composer Toshio Mayuzumi. And there are the paintings and drawings by Vartse himself. Here, in the company of works of art from different ages, we had many talks on art and music of earlier and our times. The following is one of our conversations which took place in January 1963, nearly three years before his death.
JOB-RELATED STRAIN: A FIELD INVESTIGATION ON FAMILY PHYSICIANS

The aim of this study is to determine the level of job-related strain of staff working in family health centers on some demographic characteristics. A questionnaire form was applied online to 371 family physicians working in family health centers in Istanbul. All surveyed surveys were included in sampling. A questionnaire consisting of two parts was used as data collection tool in the research. In the first part, the personal information form containing information on gender, date of birth and child ownership is presented in the second part of the Job-Related Strain Scale developed by Revicki, May and Whitley (1991) and adapted to Turkish by Aslan et al. (1998) and reliability and validity studies It is located. As a result of the study, it was determined that stress and strain related to job were high according to the scale scores of the family physicians participating in the study (64,31 ± 8,95), and job strain and strain scores did not show any significant difference according to sex, number of children and date of birth.

A Practical Approach on Creating a Restricted Ontology for Crop Wild Relatives

The task to identify a subset of about 400 terms highly relevant to crop wild relatives was performed as a continuation to an earlier project where a set of about 11400 term was extracted from on-line sources. Terms with high relevance were grouped into themes, roughly corresponding to Agrovoc (top level) categories, or indicatives of the thematic sources from which the terms were collected (biological, geographical on-line dictionaries etc), with an attempt to balance the number of terms between the groups. For the import into the ontology structure the themes were converted to namespaces in order to preserve the grouping and allow manipulation within ontology client programs on terms based on namespace grouping. Before the import the namespaces were slightly modified and adapted to some other existing ontologies. In addition to selecting relevant terms and definitions, definition of vertical and horizontal relationships between the terms was performed. Terms were also linked to sources (uris) through Dublin Core extensions of the ontology structure. The export from sql to rdf/owl was done with a script written in Perl that extracted the terms, descriptions, sources from the database, plus vertical hierarchy, term synonyms and other variants, as well as some simple horizontal relationships and produced an import file for Protege in rdf/owl format. The resulting subset of terms was provided as a number of files; a main file containing core structure, object and data type definitions and term data in separate files per namespace, suitable for import by an ontology client program such as Protege.
Scalable Recommendation Engine for Optimized Product Discovery

Recommending products to the user in e-commerce sites must be based on the user’s taste and buying pattern. When a new user steps into the site, the system is unable to generate recommendations for that user, which is termed as cold start problem. The main objective is to introduce an approach that provides customized recommendations even to a new user thereby solving the cold start problem. Both the cold start problem and customized recommendation approach in the system can be addressed by combining two approaches. The first approach is building a graph relation which helps in knowing the taste of the user and thus overcomes the cold start problem and the second approach is harnessing the hidden potential from the review corpus of e-commerce sites. Review corpus consists of details such as rating, reviews of various users, each with a peculiar taste. When the user’s taste and opinion polarity of the product is converged together it will lead to an optimized product recommendation to the user. The system uses hadoop, a scalable framework which enables to get recommendation in near real time. Orient DB is used for building graph relations. During testing this approach worked well with the cell phone accessories and clothing domain.
How reduce the View Selection Problem through the CoDe Modeling

Big Data visualization is not an easy task due to the sheer amount of information contained in data warehouses. Then the accuracy on data relationships in a representation becomes one of the most crucial aspects to perform business knowledge discovery. A tool that allows to model and visualize information relationships between data is CoDe, which by processing several queries on a data-mart, generates a visualization of such data. However on a large data warehouse, the computation of these queries increases the response time by the query complexity. A common approach to speed up data warehousing is precompute a set of materialized views, store in the warehouse and use them to compute the workload queries. The goal and the objectives of this paper are to present a new process exploiting the CoDe modeling through determining the minimal number of required OLAP queries and to mitigate the problem of view selection, i.e., select the optimal set of materialized views. In particular, the proposed process determines the minimal number of required OLAP queries, creates an ad hoc lattice structure to represent them, and selects on such structure the views to be materialized taking into account an heuristic based on the processing time cost and the view storage space. The results of an experiment on a real data warehouse show an improvement in the range of 36-98% with respect the approach that does not consider materialized views, and 7% wrt. an approach that exploits them. Moreover, we have shown how the results are affected by the lattice structure.
MUFFIN: A Distributed Data Base Machine.

Abstract : This paper discusses the design of MUFFIN (MUltiple Fast or Faster INgres), a distributed data base machine being developed at Berkeley. The basic design goals are higher transaction rates than achievable through conventional means, resiliency to failures and support for a wide variety of data bases in terms of size and complexity of transactions. The design exploits the possibilities of parallelism among large units of work, variable size RAM caches, no concept of 'GOD' and streamlining of modules through specialization of function. The design is contrasted with conventional distributed data base systems and with other proposals for multiprocessors data base machines. (Author)
