Definition dependent properties of the cortical silent period in upper-extremity muscles, a methodological study

To explore if stimulus-response (S-R) characteristics of the silent period (SP) after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are affected by changing the SP definition and by changing data presentation in healthy individuals. This information would be clinically relevant to predict motor recovery in patients with stroke using stimulus-response curves.Different landmarks to define the SP onset and offset were used to construct S-R curves from the biceps brachii (BB) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscles in 15 healthy participants using rectified versus non-rectified surface electromyography (EMG). A non-linear mixed model fit to a sigmoid Boltzmann function described the S-R characteristics. Differences between S-R characteristics were compared using paired sample t-tests. The Bonferroni correction was used to adjust for multiple testing.For the BB, no differences in S-R characteristics were observed between different SP onset and offset markers, while there was no influence of data presentation either. For the ADM, no differences were observed between different SP onset markers, whereas both the SP offset marker "the first return of any EMG-activity" and presenting non-rectified data showed lower active motor thresholds and less steep slopes.The use of different landmarks to define the SP offset as well as data presentation affect SP S-R characteristics of the ADM in healthy individuals.
Outcome and prognostic factors of critically ill patients with acute renal failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has proved to be beneficial for the treatment of critically ill patients with acute renal failure (ARF). The aim of this study is to determine the outcome and identify the predictors of mortality of critically ill patients treated with CRRT for ARF in the intensive care unit (ICU). This prospective cohort study of critically ill patients with ARF requiring CRRT admitted to the ICU was carried out at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia from 2002 to 2008. A total of 644 of 7173 patients with ARF required CRRT were studied. About 9% of the ARF patients required CRRT and comprised mainly those with medical causes, carrying a mortality of 64%. Multivariate analysis found high serum creatinine as an independent factor for better outcome and requirement of mechanical ventilation (MV) as an independent factor for worse outcome. In our cohort study, ARF requiring CRRT in the ICU was associated with a high mortality.
Application of software visualization in programming teaching

Motivating students to comprehend software structure, behavior and complexity is often difficult because software cannot be seen or even touched, disappear into files on disks. To overcome this problem, the author has prepared an open source project, some programs developed by students themselves and two software visualization tools, and applied them in programming teaching. They are suitable for classroom use in undergraduate programming courses. The effectiveness of software visualization in programming teaching has been evaluated formally by students. The implementation of software visualization in programming teaching was judged to be successful because of the positive student feedback. This paper describes the case and experiment, the overall effectiveness, and plans for further work.
Developing innovative market orientated prediction toolbox to strengthen the economic sustainability and competitiveness of european seafood on local and global markets

The overall aim of PrimeFish is to improve the economic sustainability of European fisheries and aquaculture sectors. PrimeFish will gather data from individual production companies, industry and sales organisations, consumers and public sources. The data will be related to the competitiveness and economic performance of companies in the sector; this includes data on price development, supply chain relations, markets, consumer behaviour and successful product innovation. The large industry reference group will facilitate access to data on specific case studies. A data repository will be created, and PrimeFish will join the H2020 Open Research Data Pilot to ensure future open access to the data. The effectiveness of demand stimulation through health, label and certification claims will be evaluated and compared with actual consumer behaviour. PrimeFish will assess the non-market value associated with aquaculture and captured fisheries as well as the effectiveness of regulatory systems and thereby provide the basis for improved societal decision making in the future. The collected data will be used to verify models and develop prediction algorithms that will be implemented into a computerized decision support system (PrimeDSS). The PrimeDSS, together with the underlying data, models, algorithms, assumptions and accompanying user instructions will form the PrimeFish Decision Support Framework (PrimeDSF).
The lead users, typically fishermen, aquaculture producers and production companies, will be able to use the PrimeDSF to improve understanding of the functioning of their markets and in setting strategic plans for future production and innovation which in turn will strengthen the long term viability of the European fisheries and aquaculture sectors. This will also benefit consumers, leading to more diversified European seafood products, enhanced added value, novel products and improved information on origin, certification and health claims.

Über den Nutzen von Hilfen der Sucht- und Drogenhilfe für ältere Opiatkonsument:innen aus Adressat:innen- und Fachkräfteperspektive

Einleitung Ältere Opiatkonsument:innen werden in Deutschland in der Regel im Rahmen einer Substitutionsbehandlung unterstützt, die von psychosozialen Beratungsangeboten begleitet wird. Gesundheitszustand und Lebenssituation von älteren Opioidkonsument:innen können in vielen Fällen als belastet beschrieben werden, unter anderem aufgrund des jahrelangen Substanzkonsums und dessen Begleitumständen. Mehrere Studien weisen darauf hin, dass Opioidkonsument:innen von Angeboten der Sucht- und Drogenhilfe profitieren können und häufig eine Verbesserung ihrer Lebenssituation und ihres psychosozialen Wohlbefindens erreichen. Allerdings verbleiben Opioidkonsument:innen oft über viele Jahre und sogar Jahrzehnte in den professionellen Unterstützungssystemen. Die Perspektive der Opiatkonsument:innen wird bei der Erforschung ihrer professionellen Unterstützung allerdings selten berücksichtigt, obwohl sie aufgrund ihrer vielfältigen Erfahrungen im Suchthilfesystem als „Expert:innen aus Erfahrung“ gelten können.

In this article it review the work done and the product reached by consensus, which includes as priorities, among others, strengthening of SIS like public insurance, implementation of a policy of multi-year investment, strengthening the protection of health rights outlined, strengthening the primary health care and improving access to safe and effective medicines. The effect is an agreement that gives significance to a process that has the character of state policy and defines the framework within which they must develop health policies in the following years.
A phylogenetic analysis of Orlando Gibbons's Prelude in G

Textual scholars studying the transmission history of literary texts increasingly make use of ‘phylogenetic’ computer programs from evolutionary biology, which are conventionally used for inferring the evolutionary relationships among organisms from DNA sequence data. However, very little use has been made of phylogenetic methods in studying musical traditions. We have tested the use of the methods in analysing the transmission history of 16 extant sources of the Prelude in G by Orlando Gibbons. Variations in features such as pitch, rhythm and note pattern were recorded as a ‘Nexus file’, which was analysed using the phylogenetic methods of Maximum Parsimony and NeighborNet. Statistical confidence was tested using bootstrapping. The Maximum Parsimony analysis placed the sources into four groups with strong statistical support and the NeighborNet analysis gave similar results, while indicating a linkage between members of two of the major groups. Separate analyses of passages of running semiquavers and the chordal accompaniment showed that the latter was responsible for most of the phylogenetic structure, consistent with traditional scholarship. The analysis also showed a more fundamental division into two groups, with one containing mostly early to mid-17th century sources and the other containing only more recent ones. The study shows that phylogenetic methods can be used to infer robust conclusions on the transmission history of this tradition that are consistent with conventional scholarship. These novel methods are likely to be of general applicability as a tool for music scholars.
On Effective Way of Landless Peasants Sustainable Livehood

The sustainable livehood of landless peasants during urbanization process was analyzed.The root causes of landless peasants lack of sustainable livehood are the defect of land compensation system and social security system and the low capacity of farmers.On the basis of this,several corresponding countermeasures were put forward,namely based on the theory of sustainable livehood,use the sustainable livehood analysis to help farmers' live asset accumulation,give full play to the positive energy of the policy and institutions.From the perspective of improving landless farmers self-interest,introduce the sustainable livehood concept,improve the land compensation method,concerned about the re-employment,strengthen vocational training and establish a oerfect social security system.
Quantitation of ten 30S ribosomal assembly intermediates using fluorescence triple correlation spectroscopy

The self-assembly of bacterial 30S ribosomes involves a large number of RNA folding and RNA-protein binding steps. The sequence of steps determines the overall assembly mechanism and the structure of the mechanism has ramifications for the robustness of biogenesis and resilience against kinetic traps. Thermodynamic interdependencies of protein binding inferred from omission-reconstitution experiments are thought to preclude certain assembly pathways and thus enforce ordered assembly, but this concept is at odds with kinetic data suggesting a more parallel assembly landscape. A major challenge is deconvolution of the statistical distribution of intermediates that are populated during assembly at high concentrations approaching in vivo assembly conditions. To specifically resolve the intermediates formed by binding of three ribosomal proteins to the full length 16S rRNA, we introduce Fluorescence Triple-Correlation Spectroscopy (F3CS). F3CS identifies specific ternary complexes by detecting coincident fluctuations in three-color fluorescence data. Triple correlation integrals quantify concentrations and diffusion kinetics of triply labeled species, and F3CS data can be fit alongside auto-correlation and cross-correlation data to quantify the populations of 10 specific ribosome assembly intermediates. The distribution of intermediates generated by binding three ribosomal proteins to the entire native 16S rRNA included significant populations of species that were not previously thought to be thermodynamically accessible, questioning the current interpretation of the classic omission-reconstitution experiments. F3CS is a general approach for analyzing assembly and function of macromolecular complexes, especially those too large for traditional biophysical methods.
Schizophrenia symptoms and functioning in patients receiving long-term treatment with olanzapine long-acting injection formulation: a pooled analysis

This analysis of pooled data evaluates treatment outcomes of patients with schizophrenia receiving maintenance treatment with olanzapine long-acting injection (OLAI) by means of a categorical approach addressing the symptomatic and functional status of patients at different times.Patients were grouped into 5 categories at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Shifts between categories were assessed for individual patients and factors associated with improvement were analyzed. 1182 patients from 3 clinical trials were included in the current analysis.At baseline, 434 (36.8%) patients had minimal Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) symptoms but seriously impaired Heinrich Carpenter's Quality of Life Scale (QLS) functioning; 303 (25.6%) had moderate to severe symptoms and seriously impaired function; 208 (17.6%) had mild to moderate symptoms but good functioning, and 162 (13.7%) had minimal symptoms and good functioning. Baseline category was significantly associated with Clinical Global Impression--Severity (CGI-S), extrapyramidal symptoms, working status, age, and number of previous episodes. The majority of all patients starting OLAI treatment maintained or improved (62% at 6 months and 52% at 12 months) their symptom and functioning levels on OLAI maintenance treatment. Less than 8% of the patients showed worsening of symptoms or functioning. An improvement in category was associated with high PANSS positive and low CGI-S scores at baseline.We present evidence that a composite assessment of schizophrenic patients including symptom severity and functioning is helpful in the evaluation of maintenance treatment outcomes. This approach could also be useful for the assessment of treatment options in clinical practice.The trials from which data are reported here were registered on clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00088491, NCT00088465, and NCT00320489.
Placing on the market a mixture of grass seeds and substrates vacuum packed

The aim of this project is to market a new mixture of grass seeds with a substrate. The uniqueness of this solution is included in the application of a vacuum packaging method, which has not yet been used on the market. This will create a ‘ready-to-use’ product which the consumer will be able to apply directly to the ground in order to obtain a lawn or grassland. The advantage of this product will also be enrichment with the addition of chaff and straw, which will improve the quality of the substrate. This product is the result of the work carried out by the applicant. They focused on the selection of the packaging method, the appropriate substrate and the verification of seed viability after 2 years of storage. The result of this project is addressed to individuals and infrastructure entities who want to set up a lawn or to renovate the lawn. In order to place this product on the market, it is necessary to acquire equipment capable of producing it. It will be a vacuum packaging line and a label. The project’s implementation period is 1 March 2019-30 September 2019.
Estrategia de control selectivo de temperatura y humedad para un invernadero solar chino con un enfoque basado en eventos

Este artículo presenta la aplicación de un esquema de control selectivo de temperatura y humedad para invernaderos solares chinos, que son los más utilizados en las provincias del norte de China. En primer lugar, para controlar la temperatura, se propone un controlador PI con un enfoque basado en eventos. Tras la evaluación de varios valores de la banda de ocurrencia de eventos, se obtiene una solución que permite reducir en un 43,8%el número de aperturas y cierres de las ventanas del invernadero, mientras que el error de temperatura se incrementa sólo en un 1,13 %. En segundo lugar, se ha diseñado un controlador para la humedad relativa y otro para la humedad absoluta. Los resultados muestran que el control de humedad relativa funciona adecuadamente cuando la consigna no es demasiado elevada. Sin embargo, la acción de control se deteriora cuando la consigna es superior al 70 %. En comparación, el control de humedad absoluta permite regular la humedad para referencias de cualquier valor, pero la precisión de control es menor. Finalmente, mediante un estudio en simulación, se demuestra la efectividad de la estrategia de control selectivo de temperatura con un esquema que da prioridad para controlar la humedad cuando ésta alcanza límites no deseados. Esta estrategia de control consigue mantener la humedad relativa por debajo del 80% mientras que controla la temperatura en la consigna establecida, evitando así que la alta humedad dañe al cultivo.
Set-membership parity space approach for fault detection in linear uncertain dynamic systems

In this paper, a set-membership parity space approach for linear uncertain dynamic systems is proposed. First, a set of parity relations derived from the parity space approach is obtained by means of a transformation derived from the system characteristic polynomial. As a result of this transformation, parity relations can be expressed in regressor form. On the one hand, this facilitates the parameter estimation of those relations using a zonotopic set-membership algorithm. On the other hand, fault detection is then based on checking, at every sample time, the non-existence of a parameter value in the parameter uncertainty set such that the model is consistent with all the system measurements. The proposed approach is applied to two examples: a first illustrative case study based on a two-tank system and a more realistic case study based on the wind turbine fault detection and isolation benchmark in order to evaluate its effectiveness.

Reverse engineering of social information processing

In today's world, access to information is a decisive factor advancing industry, society and even culture. It is therefore of great importance to understand why and how some information (e.g. some memes) spreads virally with great ease, while other is met with disinterest and omission. Uncovering the reasons may allow promoting important information, like warnings about cyber-attacks, while stifle harmful rumors, such as vaccines causing autism. The aim of the project is to treat the vast complexity of such information dynamics in social systems by involving researchers in social sciences, journalism, computing, data mining and complexity science.
The Project’s objectives are:
- discovery and reverse-engineering the mechanisms of information spreading in social media, such as dynamics of news releases, blog and internet for posts, Twitter messages, e-mails etc.,
- training and exchange of knowledge between partners in different domains coming from Warsaw University of Technology, Jozef Stefan Institute, Wroclaw University of Technology and leading world universities Stanford University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Nanyang Technological University,
- bidirectional knowledge transfer between academia and media industry (Slovenian Press Agency) by exposing researchers to real-life problems and giving business access to innovative methods and tools for information analysis.

The project will be based on three pillars: data acquisition, data mining/machine learning and complex systems modeling. The specific problems addressed will include understanding rules of and predicting information spreading in different media and about different topics, finding information sources and uncovering hidden information channels.

The secondments will accelerate individual careers of involved researchers, especially early stage ones. The project will lay foundations for long-term collaboration by strengthening existing links between partners and creating new ones.

Effects of Perceived Justice for Coaches on Athletes' Trust, Commitment, and Perceived Performance: A Study of Futsal and Volleyball Players

This study examines the effects of perceived justice for coaches on athletes' commitment, trust, and perceived performance. A total of 161 futsal and volleyball players in Iran responded to scales measuring three dimensions of perceived justice, namely distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice; commitment; trust; and two dimensions of perceived performance, namely individual performance and team performance. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares method. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis provide support for the measurement model. As expected, all three dimensions of perceived justice were positively and significantly related to commitment and trust. In addition, commitment was significantly related to individual performance and team performance. Further, there was a positive relationship between trust and the three dimensions of perceived performance. The results have important theoretical and practical implications.
