A Study on the Depression Levels of Children who are Brought to the Forensic DNA Laboratory for Paternity Testing

This study aims to identify the depression levels of children who were brought to the forensic DNA laboratory for paternity testing. A total of 35 such children were enrolled in the study. Data were gathered using the parent interview form, general information form for children, and the "Child Depression Scale" as it had been tested for validity and reliability in the 6-17 year age group in the country. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe test. The results showed that the age of children who were brought in for paternity testing created a meaningful difference in their depression scores (p < 0.01) while gender did not. In addition, c. 63% of the children in this study did not know why they were in the laboratory, which also caused a meaningful difference in depression scores (p < 0.01).
Lesbian moms and their kids at court

The project Lesbians and Their Kids at Court (LeMoKiaC) investigates the extent to which children’s voices are listened to by mothers and by professionals within the procedures for the legal recognition of French and Italian intended mothers in lesbian-headed households. Its overarching aim is to provide an ethnographic account of the exercise of article 1.2 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, namely the right to be listened to and taken seriously in the judicial and administrative proceeding affecting them. It is organised around 3 research questions (one ethnographic, one theoretical/methodological and one regarding public anthropology): 1) What are the variables affecting the exercise of Article 12.2 in the recognition of lesbian-headed households? 2) How are children recognised as social actors of kinship relations? 3) How can an ethnographic child-centred knowledge of the politicisation of childhood promote children’s welfare and rights? 
By focusing on the recognition of mothers’ ties with their children despite a lack of biogenetical link, LeMoKiaC will fill 3 scholarly gaps: 1) in the field of children’s rights, the lack of ethnographic child-centred knowledge on the exercise of Article 12.2; 2) within critical kinship studies, the lack of child-centred theoretical concepts for the analysis of children as social actors within family relations; 3) in public anthropology, the absence of art-based dissemination products for children. It will produce empirical results, theoretical child-centred and gender-sensitive concepts, and art-based child-centred dissemination products, having a scientific, inter-sectoral and educational impact at a national and international level. It will also have a major career development impact due to the development of creative competences in research dissemination through the acquisition of more accessible forms of communication necessary to effectively communicate social sciences to the wider public, including children.
Conventional induction and maintenance treatment of Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis – still of value for our patients?

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by the necrotizing inflammation of small vessels and associated with the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Treatment of AAV can be divided into the induction phase aimed at achieving remission of the disease and the maintenance phase aimed at prevention of relapses. Long-term outcome of AAV dramatically improved with the introduction of cyclophosphamide. Recent clinical studies resulted in the reduction of the cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide and introduction of new treatment options, namely B-cell-depleting antibody rituximab, into both induction and maintenance treatment. This paper aims to evaluate the current role of the conventional induction and maintenance treatment in view of the gradually increasing use of rituximab.This paper provides an overview of the main clinical studies in induction and maintenance treatment of adult patients with AAV, treatment of relapses of AAV and shortly comments also on the treatment of refractory AAV, treatment of different subgroups of AAV (based on the age, renal function, clinical presentation and type of autoantibody), long-term outcome of patients with AAV, adverse events of treatment and treatment of end-stage renal disease in AAV.Our analysis demonstrates that although the introduction of rituximab modified the approach to both the induction and maintenance treatment of AAV, more conventional induction and maintenance treatment with standard immunosuppressive drugs still retains its importance as we need more data on long-term efficacy and safety of biologic treatment, and also its cost-effectiveness still remains an open issue.
Mantle transition zone shear velocity gradients beneath USArray

Broadband P-to-s scattering isolated by teleseismic receiver function analysis is used to investigate shear velocity (V_S) gradients in the mantle transition zone beneath USArray. Receiver functions from 2244 stations were filtered in multiple frequency bands and migrated to depth through P and S tomography models. The depth-migrated receiver functions were stacked along their local 410 and 660 km discontinuity depths to reduce stack incoherence and more accurately recover the frequency-dependent amplitudes of P410s and P660s. The stacked waveforms were inverted for one-dimensional V_S between 320 and 840 km depth. First, a gradient-based inversion was used to find a least-squares solution and a subsequent Monte Carlo search about that solution constrained the range of V_S profiles that provide an acceptable fit to the receiver function stacks. Relative to standard references models, all the acceptable models have diminished V_S gradients surrounding the 410, a local V_S gradient maximum at 490–500 km depth, and an enhanced V_S gradient above the 660. The total 410 V_S increase of 6.3% is greater than in reference models, and it occurs over a thickness of 20 km. However, 60% of this V_S increase occurs over only 6 km. The 20 km total thickness of the 410 and diminished V_S gradients surrounding the 410 are potential indications of high water content in the regional transition zone. An enhanced V_S gradient overlying the 660 likely results from remnants of subduction lingering at the base of the transition zone. Cool temperatures from slabs subducted since the late Cretaceous and longer-term accumulation of former ocean crust both may contribute to the high gradient above the 660. The shallow depth of the 520 km discontinuity, 490–500 km, implies that the regional mean temperature in the transition zone is 110–160 K cooler than the global mean. A concentrated V_s gradient maximum centered near 660 km depth and a low V_S gradient below 675 km confirms that the ringwoodite to perovskite+magnesiowustite reaction is the dominant cause of the 660 in the region.
Tropospheric Ozone Concentrations - Seasonal and Daily Analysis and its Association with NO and NO 2 as a Function of NO x in Ciuc Depression - Romania

This paper summarizes the results of a yearlong continuous measurements of gaseous pollutants, NO, NO 2 , NO x and O 3 in the ambient air of Ciuc Depression. Measured concentration of the pollutants in study area is a function of time. NO, NO 2 and O 3 peak occurred in succession in presence of sunlight. At the time of maximum O 3 concentration most of the NO x are utilized. The diurnal cycle of ground level ozone concentrations, revealed mid-day peak with lower nocturnal concentrations and inverse relationship exists between O 3 and NO x , which are evidences of photochemical O 3 formation. Particular emphasis is placed on establishing how the level of “oxidant”, OX (taken to be the sum of O 3 and NO 2 ) varies with the level of NO x , and therefore to gain some insight into the atmospheric sources of OX. The analyses indicate that the level of OX at a given location is made up of NO x – independent and NO x – dependent contributions. The former is effectively a regional contribution which equates to the regional background O 3 level, whereas the latter is effectively a local contribution which correlates with the level of primary pollution. Increased values can be also observed for more periods of the year; this fact for the depressional case of Ciuc are due to the particular case represent by stable boundary layer conditions (high static stability conditions in term of Brunt - Vaisala frequency) which are long known for causing increasing concentration of pollutant concentrations.

Humanizing antiquity: biocultural approaches to identity formation in ancient boeotia, central greece

HumAn aims at providing insights into the biological dimensions of the sociopolitically constructed notions of kinship, citizenship and ethnicity in Archaic to Roman-era Boeotia (central Greece) by integrating mortuary data, historical information and osteoarchaeological analysis. Although identity negotiation is a social phenomenon, it has often constrained genetic relationships. Osteoarchaeological analysis can provide invaluable information on the extent of intermarriage and social mobility that accompanied belonging to specific groups. Ancient Boeotia is an ideal case study for the study of conflicting identities since it is characterized by the parallel evolution of the Boeotian League (the first Greek federal state) and a strong citizenship identity among Boeotian cities. The proposed project will explore genetic kinship and social structure in ancient Boeotian cities to assess whether belonging to specific groups hindered gene flow and social mobility. Written sources (historiography, drama, epigraphy), material culture (funerary data) and osteological analysis (macroscopic and microanalytical methods for the assessment of genetic relatedness, diet, activity, and health) will be amalgamated in achieving the aforementioned objective. The Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, forms the ideal environment for this project given its tradition in funerary archaeology and the study of identity and social structure in past societies, as well as the ample training opportunities it will offer to the candidate. The exploration of identity negotiation in ancient Greece can play a major role in increasing public awareness regarding the antiquity of social diversity. Finally, HumAn will greatly enhance the applicant’s scientific profile by allowing her to assume a leading role in the introduction of bioarchaeology into Classical studies, offering her training in the latest osteological techniques, and engaging her with diverse public outreach activities.

Contagious resource depletion and anxiety? Spreading effects of evaluative concern and impression formation in dyadic social interaction

Abstract Two studies examined how adopting an impression formation or evaluative concern mindset affects individuals' own and their interaction partner's experience of potentially stressful social exchanges, such as first meeting situations and interethnic interaction. Our main hypothesis was that adopting an impression formation mindset would, by diverting individuals' focus away from themselves and toward others, reduce both their own and their partner's cognitive resource depletion and negative affect. Consistent with predictions, positive effects of impression formation were evident and were “contagious” in that they were evident across individuals who received the mindset instructions and their partners, who were unaware of the manipulation. The positive effects of impression formation instructions were generally evident both in comparison to evaluative concern instructions, which provided similar structure, and in comparison to no instructions at all. Thus, adopting an impression formation mindset seems an effective strategy for minimizing negative outcomes experienced in stressful social interactions.
An Index for Measuring the Degree of Completeness of BIM-based Quantity Take-Off

Quantity take-off is one of the critical tasks that determine the cost of a construction project, and its result should be accurate and reliable. BIM-based quantity take-off is a very attractive process for practitioners since the quantity take-off can be done automatically in a fast and accurate way. However, the result of BIM-based quantity take-off can be varied depending on how BIM was modeled. As a project progresses, more detailed design information is getting available, and it can be expected that the degree of completeness and accuracy for the BIMbased quantity take-off is going to be improved as well. However, when estimation is performed at each stage of a project life-cycle, there is no way to measure or forecast how accurate of the quantity take-off result from the BIM data given at the current stage. Therefore, this research derived factors that affect the BIM-based quantity takeoff and developed a methodology and framework to measure and forecast the completeness of BIM-based quantity take-off. The measurement framework and index that are proposed by this research was verified and validated for their consistency and feasibility through six pilot projects.

Association of Non-carious Cervical Lesions With Oral Hygiene Aspects and Oclusal Force

Abstract One of the theories that contribute to explaining the evolution of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) refers to fatigue wear, in which the concentration of stresses in the cervical region leads to the formation of microfractures in the dental tissues and progressive structure loss. However, due to a combination of factors that may cause wear, there is still uncertainty about the role of the occlusal factor as a risk factor that causes NCCLs. Objectives: The purpose of this case-control study was to investigate the association between the presence of NCCLs with occlusal force and other potential risk factors. Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine participants with NCCLs (cases) and 39 non-carrier patients (control), aged between 20 and 59 years old, were enrolled in the dental clinic of the Faculdade Integradas São Pedro (FAESA), located in Vitória, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Information was collected through anamnesis, clinical examination, and a questionnaire addressing aspects related to tooth brushing, dentifrice, and mouthwash use. In clinical examination, patients were submitted to four measurements of occlusal force in the maxillary first premolars and maxillary first molars, using a strain gauge sensor of medium intensity, the Flexiforce (Tekscan, South Boston, MA, USA). The sensor was calibrated for the unit of measurement in Newtons (N). Results: Data was analyzed using a Student's t-test and multiple logistic regression, adopting the significance level of 5%. There was no statistically significant difference between the case and control groups regarding the bite force in the four measured regions. Logistic regression identified sex as a factor significantly associated with non-carious cervical lesions (p = 0.020). For the calculation of the odds ratio, the female sex presented a six-fold chance (OR = 6.082; CI = 1.332 - 27.765) higher than non-carious cervical lesions. Conclusions: It was concluded that females presented a higher risk factor for non-carious cervical lesions than men, whereas there was no association of occlusal strength, as well as aspects related to brushing and deleterious habits. Clinical Relevance: NCCLs are highly prevalent in daily clinical practices and can impact aesthetics and function, leading to hypersensitivity and impairment of oral-health-related quality of life. Gingival recession is an important clinical indicator for the presence of NCCLs.
Crop Insurance Premium Design Based on Survival Analysis Model

Abstract Survival Analysis method has been commonly used in biology, medical science, and human life insurance studies but it is rarely applied in agricultural insurance research. The main objective of this study is to explore the appropriateness of the Survival Analysis model for the crop insurance program design. Our analysis was mainly focused on the catastrophic risk premium rate estimates under the condition of 70% yield coverage for rice, corn and sorghum in Panjin of Liaoning province, China. The results indicate that the estimated premium rates for each crop are consistent with the currently prevailed crop insurance premium rate in Panjin.

Therefore, in this presented work the neural network based location approximation technique is evaluated. During implementation of neural network based predictive algorithm two key deficiencies are observed first the long training time and quality of training patterns. In order to improve both the issues in neural network the data pre-processing technique is proposed and implemented. The presented improvement helps in initializing neural network and frequent learning. Therefore, the neural network is effectively trained in less amount of time with higher accuracy. The implementation of the proposed technique and traditional neural network technique is provided using NS2 network simulation environment and the neural network is implemented using JAVA environment. The performance evaluation of both the technique is given in terms of memory consumption, time consumption and predictive accuracy. According to the obtained results the performance of modified neural network is much higher than the traditional neural network. In addition of that the modified algorithm is able to train less amount of time as compared to the traditional neural network.
Cell therapy for patients with chronic heart failure with proprietary  cardiac-derived cells (cardap cells)  –  “from the heart to the heart”

Chronic heart failure is a life-threatening disease usually without cure and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In Germany 45 000 patients (projected to EU: about 140 000) die every year from progressive chronic cardiac insufficiency. There is no curative therapeutic solution, except very rare donor hearts and artificial hearts as bridge devices.
Researchers at the Charité - University Medicine, have identified unique cardiac-specific stromal cells (CardAP cells) with strong efficacy in cardiac stress models. CardAP cells are specialized heart-derived cells with key advantages in safety and efficacy.
