Individualized real-time fMRI neurofeedback to attenuate craving in nicotine-dependent smokers

Cue-induced craving plays an important role in relapse, and the neural correlates of cue-induced craving have been elucidated using fMRI. This study examined the utility of real-time fMRI (rtfMRI) neurofeedback to strengthen self-regulation of craving-related neural activation and cue-reactivity in cigarette smokers.Nicotine-dependent smokers were randomized to rtfMRI neurofeedback or to a no-feedback control group. Participants completed 3 neuroimaging visits. Within each visit, an initial run during which smoking-related cues were used to provoke craving, an individualized craving-related region of interest (ROI) in the prefrontal cortex or anterior cingulate cortex was identified. In the rtfMRI group, activity from the ROI was fed back via a visual display during 3 subsequent runs while participants were instructed to reduce craving during cue exposure. The control group had an identical experience with no feedback provided.Forty-four nicotine-dependent smokers were recruited to participate in our study; data from the 33 participants who completed a 1-week follow-up visit were included in the analysis. Subjective craving ratings and cue-induced brain activation were lower in the rtfMRI group than in the control group.As participants were not seeking treatment, clinical outcomes are lacking.Nicotine-dependent smokers receiving rtfMRI feedback from an individualized ROI attenuated smoking cue-elicited neural activation and craving, relative to a control group. Further studies are needed in treatment-seeking smokers to determine if this intervention can translate into a clinically meaningful treatment modality.
Infecciones de transmisión sexual en pacientes de 15 a 49 años de edad que acuden al Centro de Salud de la parroquia Timbara, durante el año 2014

This study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in 34 patients 15-49 years of age, users of the Center for Health Timbara Timbara Parish, Canton Zamora, Zamora Chinchipe during 2014. The methodology used for the research was cross, bibliographic and field fixed. To collect the information a survey was applied to 34 patients formed the study sample also proceeded to the review of medical records where it was observed that the most frequent in the microorganism responsible for most STIs was the Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted through unprotected sex with an infected person. The main risk factors were found that 61.76% did not use a condom when having sex with their partners, 50.00% were with multiple sex partners. In addition it was determined that the most frequent complication was pelvic inflammatory disease with a rate of 5.89% and a minimum percentage of 2.94% abortion. As a general conclusion we can say that the parish Timbara patients are exposed to risk for STIs by a lack of education and awareness. Po this reason an education plan was proposed, which consisted of the same promotional talks, exhibitions delivery of information material Keywords: Infections, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Patient 15-49 years old
Complexation of Cm(iii) with 6-(5,6-dipentyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine studied by time resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy

The complexation of Cm(III) with 6-(5,6-dipentyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (C(5)-hemi-BTP) in a water-2-propanol solution is investigated by TRLFS. Upon increasing the concentration of C(5)-hemi-BTP in the Cm(III)-solution, three different species, the 1:1-, 1:2- and 1:3-complex, with emission bands at 599.9 nm, 607.3 nm, and 612.8 nm, respectively, are found. Hereby, slow complexation kinetics is observed which no other BTP-type ligand has shown up to now. The species distributions for various ligand concentrations are determined and stability constants are derived (log β(03) = 12.1 ± 0.1). As extraction with hemi-BTP ligands is only possible in the presence of a lipophilic anion, the complexation of Cm(III) with C(5)-hemi-BTP and 2-bromohexanoic acid is investigated to deduce the species formed in the extraction process. It is found that Cm(III) is coordinated by two C(5)-hemi-BTP ligands and one 2-bromohexanoate ligand. This species formed in aqueous solution is identical to the one from the extraction process.
Getting Away With Murder: Acquittals in High-Profile CasesGetting Away With Murder: Acquittals in High-Profile Cases

Have you ever wondered why our legal system is so inconsistent and baffling? Have you asked why some apparently guilty, high-profile defendants are acquitted but innocent people are convicted or accept a plea agreement? Or why the American criminal justice and penal systems appear so unjust, with the United States having the highest rate of incarceration in the world, a penal population of over two million people, and one third of young African American men involved in the criminal justice system (Alexander, 2010; Ferguson, 2014)? Richard Gabriel’s Acquittal: An Insider Reveals the Stories and Strategies Behind Today’s Most Infamous Verdicts answers some of these questions. Gabriel explains how the U.S. legal system works, provides extensive insider information about the actual trial process, and discusses six well-known criminal cases, many of which resulted in acquittals. Gabriel is neither a lawyer nor a psychologist. Yet he has lived in the psycholegal world his entire life, having grown up with a mother who was a judge and a father who was a psychologist. He indicates having worked as a trial consultant for almost 30 years and on more than 1,000 cases, many of which were nationally prominent.
Visual Memes as Neutralizers of Political Dissent

A meme, conceived as the cultural equivalent of the biological gene by Richard Dawkins, spread through culture like a virus – quickly and widely. Its viral power is in turn understood as product of nature, rather than culture – or rather as threatening to subvert culture into a condition of nature. Firing up over night, and disappearing just as quickly, memes are often allowed to run their course and fade into oblivion, only to return again. They emerge at moments of contestation of dominant narratives and through their participatory structure of imitation and mutation allow for the dissolution of points of ideological conflict and the reestablishment of a normative narrative. If not too threatening to the health of the state body, these cultural viruses are left unchecked as they build the immunity, and further, in Derrida’s terms, the “autoimmunity” of the nation-state. In this project, I explore the role of visual Internet memes as neutralizers of contested past and present narratives of occupation and dissent by focusing the digital visual memes associated with the Occupy Movement in the United States. More specifically, I examine the emergence of the term “occupy” as an visual Internet meme in and of itself – Occupy Wall Street spurred Occupy Chicago, Oakland and even Sesame Street and the North Pole, as well as a marker of a revolution - revolving viral civil and political dissent. I argue that there is a notable distinction between physical participation the Occupy Movement and virtual participation through the reworking of Occupy’s memes, where as the first modality serves as an active disruptor of the political normative imaginary, the second works in precisely the opposite fashion - in its reconstitution of a common-sense dominant image of the political.

Economic development and foreign direct investment: How to create sustainable development an analysis of the potential for sustainable development on the Indian subcontinent

Focusing critically on the effects of the conditions for foreign direct investment on sustainable growth in the recipient country, this paper analyzes the potential for investments in environmental innovations in India. The definition of sustainability applied in this paper incorporates economic development and investment which promotes environmentally and socially friendly production and innovation. As the Indian economy experienced strong growth in GDP in recent years, but is still lagging behind in providing the basic needs of clean water, clean air and proper waste management for households and companies, the necessity for sustainable development exists. From a methodological point of view this paper uses macroeconomic data to evaluate quantitatively the potentials and needs of Indian states. This results in a state ranking showing the potential for sustainable development in selected Indian states, based on economic and environmental indicators.

Comparison of MDRD, CKD-EPI and other formula-based renal function estimates for chemotherapy dose adjustment in cancer patients

Background Clinicians frequently require an estimate of renal function when determining the dosage of drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, in particular, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. In clinical practice indirect methods, such as formula-based equations, are used to approximate GFR. The MDRD and Cockcroft and Gault (CG) formulae are the most frequently used. A new equation, the CKD-EPI formula, has recently been published. Purpose To assess the accuracy and impact of formula-based estimates of renal function on dosage selection of renally cleared chemotherapy agents in adult oncology patients. Materials and methods GFR was determined using technetium-99m diethyl triamine penta-acetic acid (Tc99mDTPA) clearance, serum creatinine (Jaffe method) was measured and renal function estimates calculated using MDRD, Cockcroft and Gault (CG), Wright, Martin, and CKD-EPI formulae (MDRD and CKD-EPI adjusted for patients BSA). The Cancer Institute NSW, ‘Cancer treatments online’ was used to identify chemotherapy agents requiring dosage adjustment in renal impairment. The accuracy of the formulae were compared to measured GFR, concordance for dosage adjustment were compared and also stratified for gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Results 311 patients were included (64% male, mean age 63 yrs). The mean measured GFR was 84 mL/min (SD 31, range 16-205 mL/min). Overall the least biased estimates of renal function were the MDRD, Wright and Martin formulae ( Conclusions All renal function estimates provide similarly accurate estimates for chemotherapy dosage adjustment in renally impaired patients. However, clinicians should be aware of the limitations of any bedside approximation.
9.4 A 0.5V 1.15mW 0.2mm<sup>2</sup> Sub-GHz ZigBee receiver supporting 433/860/915/960MHz ISM bands with zero external components

The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things has urged the development of ultra-low-power (ULP) radios at the lowest possible cost, while being universal for worldwide markets. Both current-reuse [1,2] and ultra-low-voltage [3] receivers are promising solutions. [1] unifies most RF-to-BB functions in one cell for current-mode signal processing, resulting in a high IIP3 (-6dBm) at small power (2.7mW) and area (0.3mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ). However, outside the current-reuse cell, another supply is required for other circuits, complicating the power management [1,2]. [3] facilitates single-0.3V operation of the entire receiver at 1.6mW for energy harvesting, but the limited voltage headroom and transistor f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> call for bulky inductors/transformers to assist the biasing and to tune out the parasitics, penalizing the IIP3 (-21.5dBm) and area (2.5mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ). In both cases, a fixed LC network was adopted for input matching and pre-gain to lower the NF, which is costly and inflexible for multi-band designs.
Circuit mechanisms for behavioral choice from complete cns activity and connectivity maps

Behavioral choice is essential for an animal's survival, but the underlying neuronal mechanisms are poorly understood. A main obstacle is that the circuits involve many brain regions. Hence investigation necessitates the study of whole-brain connectivity and dynamics. Although the connectome structurally links all potential circuits, it is insufficient for constraining functional models and must be complemented by neuronal recordings during behavioral tasks. Furthermore to test models it is necessary to manipulate identified circuit elements. Recent advances in microscopy facilitate the acquisition of complete connectomes for small animals and support neuronal activity monitoring across entire brains. The challenge remains to directly combine these techniques in the same organism. We have developed a method for observing and identifying neurons with interesting activity patterns, whereby the same sample undergoes whole-brain functional imaging and subsequent electron microscopy imaging. We propose utilizing this approach to study the neuronal mechanisms of behavioral choice in Drosophila melanogaster larvae, an ideal model system for this work. We developed a paradigm to study the choice between one of five possible exclusive actions that occur in response to the same stimulus. The aim is to identify circuit mechanisms that promote one action while suppressing all others. Based on function, structure, and neurotransmitters, we will develop models for these competing circuit motifs. Specifically, we will correlate neuronal activity with each action and combine this information with connectomic data. We assume that the competing circuits interact by inhibition, which were described before in literature. These will be tested by genetic manipulation of specific circuit elements, which will alter the probability of certain behaviors. In conclusion, we combine functional and structural information in the same organism to study the neuronal mechanisms of behavioral choice.

Monitoring cancer heterogeneity based on the dynamic assessment of the warburg effect under metabolic perturbation

Cancer heterogeneity is reflected in the multitude of phenotypes found in the clinic, with different proliferation statuses and metastatic potentials. These features cannot be assessed with the molecular imaging methods commonly available for diagnosis and monitoring. The main goal of this proposal is to develop a molecular imaging methodology based on endogenous contrast – CHyMERA – and demonstrate its feasibility to image hotspot areas of active proliferation and metastatic potential. The approach is based on the concept of cancer metabolic plasticity, does not require contrast agents or radioactive tracers, and should ultimately provide more specificity to cancer diagnosis and treatment planning than other imaging methods currently available. We propose to use animal models of human cancer, a glucose-enhanced imaging method, and an objective analysis of regional metabolic responses to controlled, reversible changes in the tumour microenvironment (perturbations), such as transient hypoxia. Specifically, we will (i) develop and validate CHyMERA at ultra-high magnetic fields, to monitor the metabolic kinetics of glucose and lactate in the tumour microenvironment. This methodology will be (ii) applied in vivo to two immunocompetent mouse model of GBM (allograft and genetically engineered models), to image vascular permeability/perfusion and hotspots of glioma proliferation. Finally, we will (iii) carry out a pilot study with two isogenic mouse models breast of cancer, metastatic and non-metastatic, to generate hotspots maps of proliferation and metastatic potential. All in vivo results will be validated post-mortem by immunohistochemistry. If successful, this methodology has a strong potential for clinical translational, which the host institution is ideally suited to test.

The economic impact of international remittances on poverty and household consumption and investment in Indonesia

This paper analyzes the impact of international remittances on poverty and household consumption and investment using panel data (2000 and 2007) from the Indonesian Family Life Survey. Three key findings emerge. First, using an instrumental variables approach to control for selection and endogeneity, it finds that international remittances have a large statistical effect on reducing poverty in Indonesia. Second, households receiving remittances in 2007 spent more at the margin on one key consumption good -- food -- compared with what they would have spent on this good without the receipt of remittances. Third, households receiving remittances in 2007 spent less at the margin on one important investment good -- housing -- compared with what they would have spent on this good without the receipt of remittances. Households receiving international remittances in Indonesia are poorer than other types of households, and thus they tend to spend their remittances at the margin on consumption rather than investment goods.
