Traumatic Brain Injury: What Counselors Need to Know

This paper, which draws on the current literature and extant knowledge involving the epidemic of traumatic brain injury (TBI), explores what counselors should know on this topic to be skillful and prepared mental health providers in a variety of treatment settings. As TBI becomes a more common clinical phenomenon, counselors will need to better understand it, to help in treating clients directly and indirectly impacted by TBI. It is imperative that counselors be aware of and knowledgeable about the basic characteristics and presentation of TBI, particularly if they intend to provide care and support for military personnel and/or amateur athletes. Learning more about TBI will provide counselors with a rewarding opportunity to enrich their professional skills and to broaden their professional identities. Traumatic Brain Injury: What Counselors Need to Know The negative effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on the mental and physical health of Americans have become increasingly evident. As suggested in the statistics summarized below, TBIs are widespread in America. Yet several subgroups have received increased attention recently in terms of TBI risk. This has helped the public to become more aware of at least certain aspects of TBI, but may have misled some to believe that TBI is not as issue of concern in the general population. For instance, many Americans have become aware of the higher risk of TBI in professional athletes and military personnel due to greater media coverage on these topics. In other situations, TBI survivor stories have been presented to the public in media forums. One particularly clear example of this involves the shooting of former Arizona House Representative Gabrielle Giffords and her continued recovery from the effects of this incident. However, as is detailed below, TBI is not a rare occurrence and its impact can be severe and persistent. Concussions, once thought to be minimal risk events for children and adults, have recently been re-conceptualized as instances requiring greater concern and care than previously thought (Kirkwood et al., 2008). With an estimated 300,000 sportrelated concussions each year in the US (Ambler & Shaughnessy, 2009), the effects of these frequent events are therefore probably significant. As TBIs are so common, counselors working in school, family and community mental health settings are likely to encounter and provide services to individuals who have sustained a TBI, whether they are aware of it or not. The rationale for describing some of the basic knowledge about TBI in this paper stems from the increasing relevance of this phenomenon to counselors and their clients. As professional counselors move toward providing direct care for military personnel and veterans, awareness of and familiarity with TBI will be essential. Counselors with knowledge of TBI and PTSD will have a distinct advantage in this and other treatment
A Model of an Information Security Management System Based on NTC-ISO/IEC 27001 Standard

—In an era of globalization, in which technology has allowed the development of companies to be promoted, data and information become essential assets in organizations, which are exposed to hackers, computer viruses, cyber espi-onage, and infrastructure failures are some of the problems organizations face daily. In this work, we aim to present a model of an information security management system, aligned with the NTC-ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard, which applies to any organization and allows them to know their current status regarding the information security. Also, the proposed model will enable organizations to implement systemically and adequately controls, procedures, and policies required to preserve the integrity, conﬁdentiality, and integrity of information assets. The model has been applied to an organization that provides technical information management and administration services in the hydrocarbon sector. The results of using the model in this organization, allowed to deﬁne its security structure, information security policies, and resources required to certify its management system. Additionally, information assets, technical vulnerabilities, and risks applied to all processes were identiﬁed.
Optical recognition of printed mathematical documents

This paper describes our new system of OCR, which can handle Japanese scienti(cid:12)c documents containing mathematical formulas. Our system consisits of the following two major steps. After the extraction of the text lines, including mathematical formulas, from a scanned page image, we (cid:12)rst segment each line into the Japanese area and the mathematical formula area. This segmentation and the recognition of the Japanese characters are done at the same time by a dynamic programming algorithm. The correction al-gorithm of the recognition, based on the linguistic morphology, is also implemented, treating the mathematical areas as unknown nouns. The second part of the process analyzes the mathematical formula area. Here, we have improved considerably the two pioneer works [1] and [2] on mathematical formula recognition. We use the top-down method throughout all the formula recognition process, making use of the recurrent algorithm. By the aid of several other thecnical ideas, this recurrent algorithm allowed the system to recognize correctly even more complicated formulas than we use normally, except at the moment, for the matrices. The system works reliably on almost noiseless images obtained by 400 dpi scanning from the usual clearly printed documents.

Optimizing Human Annotation of Word Usage Graphs in a Realistic Simulation Environment

Word Usage Graphs (WUGs) are an approach of representing relations between word usage pairs, where each word usage is considered as a node and the weighted undirected edge between such a pair represents its semantic proximity. This shifts problems of Computational Linguistics into the graph problem space. There is only little research into how such WUGs can be annotated efficiently and effectively. Therefore, we build a simulation to test a broad range of sampling, clustering and stopping procedures with respect to their impact on finding good solutions. We show that it is possible to simulate graphs which share characteristics close to the observed WUGs. Based on this we are able to scrutinize various annotation procedures and are able to extract their advantages and disadvantages for the annotation process. Wortverwendungsgraphen (WUGs) sind ein Ansatz zur Darstellung von Beziehungen zwischen Wortverwendungspaaren, wobei jede Wortverwendung als Knoten dargestellt wird und die gewichtete ungerichtete Kante zwischen einem solchen Paar die semantische Nähe darstellt. Somit können Probleme der Computerlinguistik in den Bereich der Graphen verlagert werden. Es gibt nur wenig Forschung darüber, wie solche WUGs effizient und effektiv annotiert werden können. Daher entwickeln wir eine Simulation, um eine breite Auswahl an Sampling, Cluster und Stop-Prozeduren hinsichtlich ihrer Auswirkungen auf das Finden guter Lösungen zu testen. Wir zeigen, dass es möglich ist, Graphen zu simulieren, deren Eigenschaften nah der beobachteten WUGs ähnelt. Auf dieser Grundlage sind wir in der Lage, verschiedene Annotationsverfahren zu untersuchen und ihre Vorund Nachteile für den Annotationsprozess zu extrahieren.
Toward Automated Critique for Student-Created Interactive Narrative Projects

Automated feedback has the potential to provide signiﬁcant assistance to student game creators. Here, we present a system for generating automated, critique-like feedback for students creating games in the Study-Crafter platform. We implemented a system that builds a personalized feedback report for students based on a templated format. This critique uses automated analysis of structural and interactive aspects of the game narrative and recommends alternate games for students to examine as inspiration. To test our system, we conducted a pilot study with 10 student groups developing narrative-based games. A key understanding from the study is that determining the appropriate depth of assessment and critique without overwhelming the student is important.
The Kidney of Diabetic Wistar Rats Administered Garcinia kola and Tetracarpidium conophorum Extracts: Histological Cum Biochemical Perspectives

This study investigated the histological and biochemical effects of G. kola and T.conophorum extracts, in diabetic Wistar rats. Phytochemical and LD50 of the extracts were determined. Thirty-six (36) adult male Wistar rats weighing 180 – 200 g were divided into 6 groups (n =6). Group 1 served as normal control, group 2 served as diabetic control while groups 3 – 6 were diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight (bw)), G. kola (548 mg/kg bw), T. conophorum (524 mg/kg bw) and combined (G. kola and T. conophorum) respectively. At the end of the experiment, the animals were anaesthesized and with cardiac puncture, blood was obtained for biochemical studies while the kidneys were harvested for the histological analysis. Glibenclamide significantly (p < 0.05) reduced FBG from 22.10 ± 1.65 mmol/L to 4.48 ± 0.29 mmol/L, G. kola from 22.04 ± 4.06 mmol/L to 7.40 ± 2.41 mmol/L, T. conophorum from 14.26 ± 2.38 mmol/L to 5.98 ± 0.57 mmol/L, and combined from 17.54 ± 1.72 mmol/L to 11.58 ± 2.11 mmol/L. G. kola significantly (p < 0.05) lowered the urea and raised the chloride and creatinine levels. T. conophorum significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the urea and increased the sodium and chloride levels, while the combined treatment significantly lowered the urea and raised the sodium levels. The plant extracts significantly attenuated the alterations in the kidneys. It may be concluded that the combined administration of G. kola and T. conophorum extracts and their single treatments showed hypoglycaemic and nephroprotective effects.
Cyber Security: Concepts and Cases

Cyber Security: Concepts and Cases explains the basic ideas behind cyber security using real-world examples. There are numerous textbooks and professional reference titles that adopt a very formal and theoretical approach to explaining computer security; these are all very insightful, but readers can waste a lot of time reading them while "Rome burns". This title explains the key concepts behind planning and operationalising responses to cyber threats, using real-world case studies.
Association of cognitive function with increased risk of cancer death and all-cause mortality: Longitudinal analysis, systematic review, and meta-analysis of prospective observational studies

Background Disturbed cognitive function is associated with several causes of mortality; however, the association between cognitive function and the risk of cancer death has not been extensively investigated yet. We aimed to evaluate the association of cognitive function with the risk of cancer death and all-cause mortality in the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER) and Leiden 85-plus Study. Additionally, a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies were conducted to evaluate the association of cognitive function and risk of cancer death. Methods Risk of cancer death and all-cause mortality were reported using hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) in tertiles of cognitive function of PROSPER and Leiden85-Plus Study. Additionally, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, CINHAL, and Emcare were searched up to November 1st, 2020 to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis. The relative risks (RRs) with 95%CI of cancer death per each standard deviation lower performance in cognitive measurements were calculated. Results Participants of PROSPER had 1.65-fold (95%CI 1.11–2.47) greater risk of cancer death (P for trend = 0.016) and 1.85-fold (95%CI 1.46–2.34) higher risk of all-cause mortality (P for trend<0.001), in multivariable models. Results of the Leiden-85 Plus Study showed that subjects with MMSE score below 24 had a lower chance of cancer death (HR 0.79, 95%CI 0.36–1.70, P for trend = 0.820) but had 2.18-fold (95%CI 1.57–3.02) higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to the reference group (P for trend<0.001). Besides, the results of systematic review and meta-analysis showed that per each standard deviation lower performance in cognitive function, individuals were at a 10% higher chance of cancer death (RR 1.10, 95%CI 1.00–1.20, P-value = 0.044). Conclusions Lower cognitive function performance is associated with a marginally increased risk of cancer death, in line with a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality.
Conjunctival Impression Cytology and Tear Function in Patients with Keratoconus

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ocular surface alterations of conjunctival cytological changes and tear function in patients with keratoconus. Methods: A total of 98 eyes with keratoconus and 68 eyes of age- and sex- matched healthy subjects were included in this prospective study. Ophthalmological evaluations, including Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), tear break-up time (TBUT), ocular surface staining (OSS), Schirmer test, and conjunctival impression cytology (CIC), were performed. Results: The mean participant age was 23.4±5.3 years in the keratoconus group and 24.9±6.0 years in the control group. In the keratoconus group, the mean OSDI and OSS scores were statistically significantly higher than those of the controls, and the Schirmer and TBUT results were statistically significantly lower (all p<0.001). The severity of keratoconus was positively correlated with the CIC grade (r=0.292; p=0.004). Conclusion: Keratoconus results in deterioration of the ocular surface, including CIC and tear function parameters. The grade of keratoconus appears to be associated with conjunctival cytologic changes.
Parkinson’s disease and intensive exercise therapy — An updated systematic review and meta‐analysis

In 2015, Uhrbrand et al. published the first review on Parkinson´s disease (PD) and exercise entirely based on randomized controlled trials (RCT) applying strict exercise definitions. The present review aimed to update the PD literature by assessing the effects of different intensive exercise modalities: resistance training (RT), endurance training (ET), and other intensive exercise modalities (OITM). An updated systematic literature search identified 33 new RCTs. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. A total of 18 RT, 14 ET, and 1 OITM studies were identified (adding to the 8 RT, 6 ET, and 4 OITM studies identified by Uhrbrand et al. in 2015). RT, ET, and OITM were feasible, safe, and did not worsen PD symptoms. Furthermore, RT, ET, and OITM may positively affect functional outcomes (e.g., balance) and depressive symptoms in PD but inconsistencies across these findings warrant cautious conclusions. Meta‐analyses showed that RT had a positive impact on muscle strength (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.83 [95% CI;0.54, 1.12]), functional capacity (Timed Up and Go Test (TUG): SMD = −0.62 [−1.01, −0.24]), and quality of life (SMD = −0.41 [−0.72, −0.09]), while ET had a positive impact on cardiorespiratory fitness (SMD = 0.27 [0.07, 0.47]) and functional capacity (TUG: SMD = −0.21 [−0.46, 0.04], 6‐Min Walk Test: SMD = 0.89 [0.17, 1.62]), and a potentially positive impact on “on‐medication” UPDRS‐III (SMD = −0.15 [−0.38, 0.09]) and “off‐medication” UPDRS‐III (SMD = −0.19 [−0.41, 0.04]). In conclusion, RT, ET, and OITM all represent safe, feasible, and beneficial adjunct rehabilitation strategies in PD, with particularly RT and ET showing solid effects.
Altered muscle mitochondrial, inflammatory and trophic markers, and reduced exercise training adaptations in type 1 diabetes

Growing evidence of impaired skeletal muscle health in people with type 1 diabetes points toward the presence of a mild myopathy in this population. However, this myopathic condition is not yet well characterised and often overlooked, even though it might affect the whole‐body glucose homeostasis and the development of comorbidities. This study aimed to compare skeletal muscle adaptations and changes in glycaemic control after 12 weeks of combined resistance and aerobic (COMB) training between people with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls, and to determine whether the impaired muscle health in type 1 diabetes can affect the exercise‐induced adaptations. The COMB training intervention increased aerobic capacity and muscle strength in both healthy and type 1 diabetes sedentary participants, although these improvements were higher in the control group. Better glucose control, reduced glycaemic fluctuations and fewer hypoglycaemic events were recorded at post‐ compared to pre‐intervention in type 1 diabetes. Analysis of muscle biopsies showed an alteration of muscle markers of mitochondrial functions, inflammation, ageing and growth/atrophy compared to the control group. These muscular molecular differences were only partially modified by the COMB training and might explain the reduced exercise adaptation observed in type 1 diabetes. In brief, type 1 diabetes impairs many aspects of skeletal muscle health and might affect the exercise‐induced adaptations. Defining the magnitude of diabetic myopathy and the effect of exercise, including longer duration of the intervention, will drive the development of strategies to maximise muscle health in the type 1 diabetes population.
Real-time parametric estimation of periodic wake-foil interactions using bioinspired pressure sensing and machine learning

Periodic wake-foil interactions occur in the collective swimming of bio-inspired robots. Wake interaction pattern estimation (and control) is crucial to thrust enhancement and propulsive efficiency optimization. In this paper, we study the wake interaction pattern estimation of two flapping foils in tandem configurations. The experiments are conducted at a Reynolds number of 1.41 × 104 in a water channel. A modified wake-foil phase parameter Φ, which unifies the influences of inter-foil distance L x , motion phase difference Δφ and wake convection velocity U v , is introduced to describe the wake interaction patterns parametrically. We use a differential pressure sensor on the downstream foil to capture wake interaction characteristics. Data sets at different tandem configurations are collected. The wake-foil phase Φ is used to label the pressure signals. A one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) model is used to learn an end-to-end mapping between the raw pressure measurements and the wake-foil phase Φ. The trained 1D-CNN model shows accurate estimations (average error 3.5%) on random wake interaction patterns and is fast enough (within 40 ms). Then the trained 1D-CNN model is applied to online thrust enhancement control of a downstream foil swimming in a periodic wake. Synchronous force monitoring and flow visualization demonstrate the effectiveness of the 1D-CNN model. The limitations of the model are discussed. The proposed approach can be applied to the online estimation and control of wake interactions in the collective swimming and flying of biomimetic robots.
Comprehensive phenotyping of human platelets by single‐cell cytometry

Platelets are small anucleate blood cells that contribute to hemostasis, immunity, and inflammation. Circulating platelets are heterogeneous in size, age, receptor expression, and reactivity. They inherit many features from megakaryocytes and are further modified on exposure to bioactive substances in the bloodstream. Among these substances, prothrombotic agonists, vasodilators, and bloodborne pathogens modulate platelet phenotypes via distinct signaling cascades. The ability of platelets to respond to (patho)physiologic signals is incompletely understood but likely depends on their repertoire of surface receptors, which may partition them into discrete subsets with specialized functions and divergent abilities. The single‐cell resolution of flow and mass cytometry is ideal for immunophenotyping and allows the identification of platelet subsets in remarkable detail. In this report, we describe the surface markers and gating strategies needed for the comprehensive characterization of platelets.

SHED's Response to Various Pulpotomy Materials: Cytotoxicity and Gene Expression Analysis.

PURPOSE To examine the cytotoxicity and genetic expression of SHEDs cultured in eluates of various calcium silicate based pulpotomy materials. STUDY DESIGN MTT assay, flow cytometry, alizarin red staining and scratch assay was used to assess the cellular viability, apoptosis, calcium matrix deposits and cell migration respectively. The gene expression of ALP, OCN and BMP -2, were measured with rtPCR. One way ANNOVA and Bonferroni post test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS MTT assay analysis reported that all the test specimen had no cytotoxic effects. The highest number of live cells [ % ] was found in RetroMTA. The highest percentage of cell migration was observed in SHEDs cultured in EndoCem Zr. The mean absorbance for calcium matrix deposition was higher or similar in all test specimens, when compared to control groups. The expression of BMP -2 and OCN were significantly higher in cells exposed to RetroMTA and NeoMTA respectively after 24 hrs of incubation. After 72 hrs of incubation the mRNA expression of ALP was significantly higher in MTA. CONCLUSIONS SHEDs cultured in eluates of various calcium silicate based cements exhibited cytocompatibility and maintained odontogenic like phenotype differentiation in SHEDs.
