The Role of Peer Rejection in the Link between Reactive Aggression and Academic Performance

There is substantial evidence to suggest that aggressive behavior is associated with poor academic performance in school-aged children. However, less is known about how different subtypes of aggression are related to academic performance and what variables may account for this association. The current study examined unique associations between reactive (aggression in response to provocation) and proactive (goal-oriented calculated aggression) subtypes of aggression and academic performance. Further, the study evaluated whether peer rejection accounted for the link between these aggression subtypes and academic problems. Study questions were examined using a sample of 147 school-age children (M = 8.22, SD = 1.99, 54.4 % male) who attended a community-based after school program. Path models were used to estimate the proposed associations using Mplus 6.12 statistical software. As expected, findings indicated that high levels of reactive, not proactive, aggression were uniquely associated with low levels of academic performance, and peer rejection accounted for this association. Results advance the literature linking aggression and academic difficulties by indicating that reactive aggression, but not proactive aggression, is associated with academic difficulties. Findings also support previous literature suggesting that peer relationships are an important target of prevention and intervention efforts aimed at improving school performance, particularly for individuals who exhibit reactively aggressive behavior.

Finding a Voice: Varda's Early Travelogues

If the essay film is an audiovisual equivalent of the written essay, its “voice” can be far more elusive than the writer’s. Bill Nichols characterized the documentary voice as the procedures by which a nonfiction film orchestrates its perspective. “By voice I mean … that which conveys to us a sense of a text’s social point of view, of how it is speaking to us and how it is organizing the materials it is presenting to us” (50). The documentary voice must of course be distinguished from literal voices on the soundtrack, which may be those of an authoritative narrative voiceover (an important—but by no means the sole—constituent of the overall voice) or the voices of others within/outside the images. Semantic relations between voiceover narrations and the documentary voice may vary from strict correspondence to deliberate ironic counterpoint; when we consider the vast expressive potentials of verbal language and film “language”—relationships among mise-en-scene, cinematography, picture editing, voices, sounds, music, and so on— we begin to see how complex their relationships in many nonfiction films can be. Agnes Varda’s nonfiction filmmaking career can be usefully seen as the story of the refining and maturation of her cinematic voice. This occurred in part through her unusual insistence on authoring as many aspects of her films as possible. By late in her career with Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse (2000), Agnes/Varda—that is, the persona in the film and the real director—are both investigator and cinematic gleaner, in frame and out; a camera operator, framing shots-within-the-shot, discussing her video camera and including its inadvertently-made footage; onscreen, both interviewer and a model posing to imitate painting. The voiceover narration is that of Varda; and when we hear a rap song, the lyrics are hers, too. By Les Plages d’Agnes (2008), the filmmaker has wholly become her own subject.

Light-Controlled bright and stable plexcitonic quantum emitters operating in both single-photon and entangled-photon-pair emission modes

The emerging field of quantum information offers significant opportunities in quantum key distribution, quantum simulation and computation, metrology, and imaging. However, these applications require the use of quantum emitters that can generate single photons and pairs of entangled photons on demand. Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), which can produce a highly coherent single-photon emission, are very promising as quantum emitters with a high single-photon purity, indistinguishability, and brightness. A unique property of PQDs is that, in contrast to many other emitters, biexciton states can be effectively generated in PQD. Two-photon photoluminescence (PL) resulting from biexciton recombination is one of effective ways of generating entangled photon pairs. However, the use of the full potential of PQDs as quantum emitters is hindered by the limitations associated with the instability of the PL signal and the low biexciton PL quantum yield.  Nanoscale plasmon–exciton interaction can significantly stabilize and improve the PL properties of PQDs due to the appearance of hybrid plasmon–exciton (plexciton) states serving as quantum emitters, thus overcoming the aforementioned limitations of PQDs. The main goal of the present QESPEM project is to design highly efficient plexcitonic quantum emitters operating as on-demand sources of pure single indistinguishable photons and pairs of entangled photons. To achieve this goal, the following objectives will be fulfilled: (1) to design quantum emitters based on the PQDs and plasmon nanostructures with implemented synergistic combination of plasmon-induces effects; (2) to develop new approaches and methods to control different regimes of plasmon–exciton interaction in the designed structures; (3) to optimize the conditions of light–matter coupling to achieve the highest values of the generation efficiency, single-photon purity, and indistinguishability for the single-photon mode and entanglement fidelity for the photon-pair mode.
Preferred drug usage among patients attending ophthalmology outpatient department for the treatment of dry eye syndrome in a tertiary care teaching hospital at Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Background: Prescription auditing studies are a part of drug use studies and are beneficial in clinical practice for rational prescribing of drugs and helpful for minimizing the medication errors. These are an important tool to promote rational prescribing.

Aims and Objectives: To study the drug-prescribing pattern in patients with dry eye syndrome.

Materials and Methods: A drug use study was conducted in dry eye patients by the Department of Pharmacology, Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences, Dehradun, for 1 year. A total of 393 prescriptions were evaluated for prescribing pattern by using WHO drug use indicators.

Results: Of the 393 prescriptions analyzed, it was found that 852 drugs were prescribed: 484 (56.81%) were artificial tears, 160 (18.78%) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), 152 (17.84%) steroids, and 56 (6.57%) belonged to “others” category. Carboxymethyl cellulose, hydoxypropyl cellulose, and polyethylene glycol were the most common artificial tears prescribed. Prescribed NSAIDs included ketorolac, bromofenac, and diclofenac whereas fluromethalone, loteprednol, and difluprednate were the most commonly prescribed steroids for the treatment of dry eye. It was found that 0.7% fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) were prescribed; 2.24 drugs were prescribed per prescription; and 56.10% drugs were prescribed from National Essential Medicine List.

Conclusion: Artificial tears were the most commonly prescribed drugs for dry eye. A therapeutic audit to provide regular feedback to researchers and prescribers may encourage rational prescribing in dry eye disease.
New commercial european rice (oryza sativa) harbouring salt tolerance alleles to protect the rice sector against climate change and apple snail (pomacea insularum) invasion

About 2/3 of the rice consumed by European citizens is produced in EU, and its productivity is affected by abiotic and biotic stresses. Of particular concern, global temperature has increased over the last century, especially during the last 50 years (0.13° C / decade). One consequence has been a clear tendency toward salinization, which affects rice as one of the most salt sensitive crop in the region. Associated with changes in temperature and salinity, the biotic stress of the Apple snail species from genus Pomacea now threatens to destroy rice paddy fields eating the sown seed and the rice plantlets, representing one of the worst introduced gastropod crop pest of the recent time. It is calculated that nowadays this pest causes damages in rice fields worldwide that result into losses of tens of billions of Euros a year. Recently, apple snails have been detected in the Ebro river delta (Spain), and now it represents an important thread to Europe’s wetlands biodiversity and rice production. To date, the measures adopted to combat apple snail have failed, but in the autumn of 2013, 2500 ha of infested fields were flooded with sea water. This treatment proved 100% effective in destroying apple snail infestations, nevertheless residual salt concentrations affected negatively rice productivity.
Thus, the general objective of the NEURICE project is to identify and introduce genetic variation in European rice varieties for obtaining commercial varieties tolerant to salinity in order to (i) mitigate the imminent effects of salinization and deterioration of water quality in the Mediterranean basins due to climate change, and (ii) to avoid the decline in production observed after seawater treatments performed in rice paddies that successfully controlled the apple snail pest. The availability of commercial salt tolerant rice lines will prevent the climate change derived abiotic stress while avoiding the dispersion of this devastating pest (biotic stress) all over Europe.
Dual Lewis Base Functionalization of Ionic Liquids for Highly Efficient and Selective Capture of H<sub>2</sub>S

Three dual Lewis base functionalized ionic liquids (DLB-ILs) tethered with both carboxyl and tertiary amine groups on their anions were designed for highly efficient and selective absorption of H2 S. It was found that the DLB-ILs could reversibly absorb 0.39-0.84 mol of H2 S per mole of IL at 1 bar and 60 °C, which is significantly higher than that of other ILs. On the contrary, the CO2 absorption in this class of DLB-ILs was shown to be quite limited relative to H2 S owing to the coupling effect of the two Lewis base groups. It is the dual Lewis base functionalization that enables the significantly high values calculated for the ideal absorption selectivity for H2 S/CO2 , that is, 13-26 at 1 bar and 29-70 at 0.1 bar (60 °C). The selectivity even goes up to >100 at low pressures and high temperatures. It was further illustrated from DFT calculations and spectroscopy studies that the cooperation interaction of carboxyl⋅⋅⋅H2 S⋅⋅⋅amine and the reduced binding with CO2 were the major contributions to the high H2 S absorption capacity and H2 S/CO2 selectivity.
A landscape reshaped by transport: the Austrian Salzkammergut from salt economy to national leisure region

For centuries the Salzkammergut in Austria was a remote mountainous region dominated by the salt economy, transporting the salt by water. When, from the early 1820s, it became Austria's most fashionable tourism area, transport conditions underwent rapid modernisation and on the eve of the First World War, the region boasted a modern inter-modal transport system suited to upper-class tourism. At the same time, the Salzkammergut turned into a focal point of national identity. After the Second World War, the region lost its technological lead due to a number of factors including private motorisation, but it retained its supposed typical Austrian character until today.
“Thank you for seeing my beautiful daughter Kate…”

Medical training prepared me well for some things, poorly for many, and hardly at all for medical parenthood. Never before had I used the word beautiful in a referral letter. Now I cannot write a referral for Kate without it, far more important than details of her gestational age or medications. Kate was born by emergency caesarean section. The operation, another commonplace miracle, was “uneventful” except for its outcome—a girl of 1480 g. She was intubated and whisked away. Neonatal intensive care was also uncomplicated, at fi rst. Apart from a lumbar puncture on day 1, we were spared the traumas that struck neighbouring families. The medical errors that are rife in hospitals somehow skirted us. Kate was an excellent baby, already irresistibly cute as tube-feed hiccups shook her whole body like some nano earthquake. We were lucky. Then came the head ultrasound. “Widespread periventricular leukomalacia, perhaps aff ecting all four limbs”: cerebral palsy was almost certain, and might be severe. No one could know its extent for months at least. Would we like to see the pictures? No. After months of congratulations about the pregnancy, our Hollywood happy ending had disappeared. Instead “Thank you for seeing my beautiful daughter Kate...”
Equipping an automated wheelchair with an infrared encoder wheel odometer - biomed 2011.

Assistive technology is a rapidly growing field that provides a degree of freedom and self-sufficiency to people of limited mobility. Smart wheelchairs are a subset of assistive technology, and are designed to be operated by people who are unable to use a traditional control system. Instead, smart wheelchairs are equipped with a combination of automated functionality and steering mechanisms specialized to meet a persons individual needs. One feature common to the automated capabilities of smart wheelchairs is the tracking system. The wheelchairs microcontroller needs to know how far the chair has travelled, its speed, and the rotational direction of its wheels in order to successfully navigate through an environment. The purpose of this research was to develop an odometer to track the motion of a motorized wheelchair. Due to federal regulations that prohibit changing the structure or internal mechanics of a medical device, the odometer had to be designed as a separate, removable part. The final design for the odometer consisted of two infrared sensors that measure edge transitions of a segmented black and white encoder wheel. The sensor output was then run through two comparator op amps and a high pass filter to produce a clean, crisp square wave signal output. The signal was then fed to an Atmel ATmega164P microcontroller. The microcontroller was programmed to compare the sensor signal with its internal clock, sense edge transitions, and thereby extrapolate the speed, travelled distance, and rotational direction of the wheelchair.
A PCR-Based Assay for Detection of <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>lactucae</i> in Lettuce Seed

A nested polymerase chain reaction-based (nPCR) assay was developed and evaluated for the rapid detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae in seed of lettuce. Three primers were designed from sequences of the intergenic spacer region of the rDNA and were used in the PCR amplifications. The first amplification employed the primer pair GYCF1 and GYCR4C and produced a product of 2,270 bp. The second amplification employed the forward primer GYCF1 and the nested primer R943 and produced a single 936-bp PCR product. The nPCR protocol developed successfully detected the target sequence in genomic DNA at 1 fg/μl. A seed assay was tested that included a 4-day incubation step in which seed were maintained under high humidity conditions to increase fungal biomass for DNA extraction. In seed lots prepared by mixing known amounts of F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae–infested seed with noninfested seed, this assay permitted the detection of the pathogen from lots with infestation rates as low as 0.1%. Samples of lettuce seed obtained from 88 commercial lettuce seed lots were assayed for the pathogen by direct plating and by using the nPCR assay. The pathogen was not detected by either diagnostic method, suggesting the seed lots were pathogen free or the level was below detection limits.
