METHOD DOR PRODUCING COATED METAL WIRE

A method for producing a metal wire intended to reinforce elastomeric materials, of the type comprising a core and a metal coating layer, as well as a metal wire and a metal cord intended to reinforce such materials are described. The method comprising the following steps of: a) conveying a metal core having a predetermined initial diameter along a predetermined conveying direction; b) depositing a metal coating layer having a predetermined initial thickness on said metal core by means of a plasma deposition technique; and c) drawing the core thus coated until a wire comprising a core having a final diameter smaller than said predetermined initial diameter and a metal coating layer having a final thickness smaller than said predetermined initial thickness is obtained. Advantageously, it is possible to obtain a wire coated in a uniform and homogeneous manner, in which the variations of amount of metal deposited and the concentration gradients of the components of metal alloys are minimized both in the axial direction and in the radial direction.
What middle class? The shifting and dynamic nature of class position

Class categorisation should not only be informed by academic pursuits but by the lived experiences of those being categorised. A human or community-centred definition of class will illustrate the complexities of class experience and will thus present a dynamic conceptualisation. Through two life-history interviews of two black women from South Africa, this article illustrates that middle-classness for blacks during apartheid was marred with constant shifts related to the socio-economic and political impermanence of class position. Continuous negotiation driven by the need to be included in one's own community and the effects of being racially othered in interaction with whites and white spaces influences these shifts. In conclusion, the article argues that being middle class and black is heterogeneously experienced and thus complex.
Variance aware determinate assembly integrated system

The VADIS project aims to develop innovative and ground breaking assembly methods and solutions for cost effective wing manufacture for the future regional aircraft based on reverse engineering, intelligent process adaption, and variability aware processes and tooling. The project will develop and implement new digital design and simulation techniques, combined with future highly efficient, informatics rich and quality-driven cost-effective manufacturing solutions which will be rigorously tested and validated to deliver an integrated future wing box assembly cell.
VADIS will produce an integrated wing box assembly cell for future regional aircraft, taking advantage of the latest advances in metrology, digital manufacturing and process adaption to achieve part-to-part assembly. A high tolerance deterministic assembly approach will be applied to reduce parasitic drag caused by traditional panel gaps. Reconfigurable assembly tooling will be used to reduce tooling costs allowing the most efficient response and flexibility in design changes. Low energy low cost mould tooling and out of autoclave processing will be exploited to achieve significant cost reduction. Synergies with current developments of fixed wing airframe ITD will be explored to promote best practice based on the existing strong industrial and research expertise in the consortium. The VADIS project will deliver the following target outcomes: Variability analysis and characterization for process and fixture tolerances; Assembly process capability assessment and investigation of feasible tolerance range widening; Technology benchmarking for optimised design of a self-adaptive fixture, metrology system for reverse engineering, cell layout and software for digital twin creation; Achieve ±0.006 mm accurate reverse engineering solution; Adaptively updating digital twin of spar-rib-skin assembly model; Cell process adaption capability to achieve part-to-part assembly.
Some basic principles for the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by Luo, some basic principles in the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics can be established systematically. In this paper, an important integral relation in terms of convolutions is given, which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics. Based on this relation, it is not only possible to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem, but also to systematically derive the complementary functionals for the eleven-field, nine-field and six-field simplified Gurtin-type variational principles and the potential energy-functional for the three-field one in the linear theory of piezoelectric micropolar elastodynamics by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper. Furthermore, with this approach, the intrinsic relationships among various principles can be explained clearly.
AUTOMEDICAÇÃO PEDIÁTRICA: CONSEQUÊNCIAS PARA A SAÚDE EM DECORRÊNCIA DESSA PRÁTICA

A automedicação é definida como a utilização de medicamentos por conta própria para tratar patologias. A deficiência no acesso aos meios de saúde, e a veiculação de propagandas de medicamentos de venda livre influenciam a procura de formas alternativas de tratamento e uma delas é a utilização de medicamentos sem a orientação. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as publicações sobre automedicação pediátrica no Brasil, de modo a investigar quais os fatores motivacionais, bem como descrever os seus riscos, consequências e identificar quais os medicamentos mais utilizados. Para este trabalho foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de natureza qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Os dados foram coletados a partir da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando-se as bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Bases de Dados da Enfermagem (BDENF), Public Medline (PubMed), CAPES Periódicos, além da Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Como achado mais relevante, esta pesquisa apontou a prevalência da prática da automedicação por responsáveis da criança e a principal motivação para esta prática foi a dificuldade para conseguir atendimento. Quanto à forma de uso, o estudo apontou que esta normalmente é feita por meio da utilização de receitas anteriores. Além disso, este estudo denota a importância da promoção de ações de prevenção junto aos responsáveis das crianças e assim colaborar para a minimização de efeitos negativos inerentes a automedicação.
Sting signalling modulation via the electron transport chain

The innate immune response to cytosolic dsDNA via the cGAS-STING pathway has been shown to be essential in the response to various viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, in autoimmunity and in cancer. However, the relationship between STING signalling and metabolism is currently unknown. In recent years, our understanding of immunometabolism has also increased – it is becoming clear that metabolic adaptations are fundamental for immune responses. Due to its role in this wide range of clinical pathologies, the mechanism of STING signalling has received a great deal of scientific interest and several STING-targeting compounds are now reaching clinical trial stages of development. It is therefore important to understand the effect of STING activation on mammalian cells, as well as how to manipulate this response to the greatest effect. The research proposed here focuses on the relationship between cellular metabolism and innate immune signalling via STING, using an unbiased proteomics approach as well as targeted immunometabolism approaches to find STING modulating metabolic pathways.
Having completed my PhD studies in immunology, I am pursuing a postdoctoral project, in the lab of Dr. David Sancho at the CNIC, that utilises my expertise and allows me to expand my technical horizons and enhance my career development. As an expert in innate immune signalling I believe that combining my knowledge with the Sancho lab’s expertise in cellular immunobiology and metabolism will lead to a better understanding of our immune system. As well as the expertise of my host lab, I will also benefit from the collaboration of leaders in proteomics and mitochondrial biology. This Individual Fellowship would greatly benefit my current research objectives and my career as a whole by allowing me to explore my research interests in a supportive environment, where I will receive the training required for the next stage of my research career.
Administration of Zinc with Paroxetine Improved the Forced Swim Test Behavioral Pattern of Treated Mice in Acute and Sub-Acute Study

Despite progressive improvement in treating major depressive disorder (MDD), it remains mostly unresponsive to one antidepressant medication. Zinc is a brain highly abundant trace metal, a brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) inducer, a modulator of synaptic plasticity and potent suppressor of the NMDA receptors. We proposed that co-administration of zinc with the antide-pressants may represent a valuable regimen to improve the efficacy of these drugs. This work has been implemented to evaluate the behavioral changes of acute and sub-acute co-administration of zinc with Paroxtine in mice. Methods: The animals were injected intra-peritoneal with either Paroxtine (20 mg/kg) which was a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), zinc sulfate (30 mg/kg) or Paroxtine in combination with zinc for one day and one week (once daily). The pattern of the animal behavior was assessed in the forced swim test (FST). Results and Discussion: The behavioral patterns of the animals in the FST include immobility, swimming and climbing. Successful antidepressant should decrease the immobility time with either increase in swimming and/or climbing behavior based on the drug pharmacological activity. Our results revealed a significant decrease of immobility and increase of swimming behavior indicating serotonin-dependent pharmacological activity of Paroxtine or zinc alone as well as in the animals treated with zinc in combination with Paroxtine. There was no significant difference in the animals’ behavior between acute and sub-acute treatment with zinc or even upon its addition to paroxetine. Our data support the concept that co-administration of zinc may provide further antidepressant activity. Zinc may offer additional clinical value particularly in geriatric patients or other populations where zinc level has shown dramatic decrease.
A Population-Based Cohort Study on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Latin America: Methods and Preliminary Results. The PLATINO Study Phase II

Abstract Background The PLATINO baseline study, conducted from 2003 to 2005 in five Latin American cities (Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Montevideo, Santiago, Caracas), showed a high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods/design A follow-up study was conducted in three out of the five centers (Montevideo, Santiago, and Sao Paulo) after a period of 5, 6 and 9 years, respectively, aimed at verifying the stability of the COPD diagnosis over time, the evolution of the disease in terms of survival, morbidity and respiratory function, and the analyses of inflammatory and genetic biomarkers in the blood. Some questions were added to the original questionnaire and death certificates were obtained from the national official registries. Results The fieldwork has been concluded in the three centers. From the original samples in the PLATINO study phase i , we were able to locate and interview 85.6% of patients in Montevideo, 84.7% in Santiago and 77.7% in Sao Paulo. Individuals who could not be located had higher education levels in Brazil, and were more likely to be current smokers in Santiago and Sao Paulo than in Montevideo. The overall quality of spirometries was ≥80% according to American Thoracic Society criteria. The number of deaths was 71 (Montevideo), 95 (Santiago) and 135 (Sao Paulo), with death certificates obtained from the national mortality registries for 76.1%, 88.3% and 91.8% of cases in Montevideo, Santiago and Sao Paulo, respectively. Conclusions This study shows that it is possible to perform population-based longitudinal studies in Latin American with high follow-up rates and high-quality spirometry data. The adequacy of national mortality registries varies among centers in Latin America.

Rôle des facteurs sociogéographiques dans la participation à un programme de réadaptation cardiaque après une angioplastie coronarienne

La réadaptation cardiaque (RC) après angioplastie coronaire pour syndrome coronarien aigu (SCA) ou chronique (SCC) est sous-utilisée en France, malgré son efficacité démontrée sur la morbi-mortalité et son rapport coût-efficacité favorable. L'objectif était d’étudier, à partir de bases de données de vie réelle, le rôle des caractéristiques sociogéographiques des patients dans leur participation à la RC. Les patients ayant bénéficié d'une angioplastie en Aquitaine en 2013 ont été sélectionnés à partir du registre Aquitain de cardiologie interventionnelle (ACIRA) apparié au PMSI SSR 2013-2014 (97 % des séjours retrouvés), pour identifier leur participation à la RC. A partir d'une analyse classique des bases de données, l'association entre les facteurs socio-géographiques (indice de défavorisation sociale-FDep09, accessibilité spatiale aux médecins généralistes-APL MG 2015, distance domicile-centre de RC le plus proche) et la participation à la RC à 1 ou 3 mois pour les SCA et à 6 mois pour les SCC) a été analysée par des modèles de régression logistique multivariée. Au total, 19,0 % des 2797 patients SCA inclus ont bénéficié d'une RC à 3 mois (11,3 % à 1 mois) et 10,1 % des 1361 patients SCC en ont bénéficié à 6 mois. Dans les deux populations, le faible accès aux médecins généralistes (SCA-RC 3 mois : OR=0,57 IC 95 % [0,39-0,83], SCA-RC 1 mois : OR=0,62 IC 95 % [0,40-0,96], SCC-RC 6 mois : OR=0,37 IC 95 % [0,19-0,73]) et le niveau social "intermédiaire" par rapport au niveau "très avantagé" (SCA-RC 3 mois : OR=0,42 IC 95 % [0,21-0,83], SCA-RC 1 mois : OR=0,44 IC 95 % [0,29-0,68], SCC-RC 6 mois : OR=0,40 IC 95 % [0,22-0,76]) étaient associés à une plus faible probabilité de participation à une RC à 1, 3 et 6 mois. L'association avec la distance au centre de RC n'était pas significative. Les politiques visant à promouvoir la participation à la RC doivent prendre en compte le rôle de l'accessibilité aux médecins généralistes et le niveau social qui semblent associés à la participation aux programmes de RC.
Training the next generation of european visual neuroscientists for the benefit of innovation in health care and high-tech industry

The human visual brain can learn and adapt to change, which solves many of the problems posed by an ever-changing visual environment. However, to maintain a consistent overall representation of the visual world, the brain also has to retain previously acquired neuronal mechanisms. The key is to strike a balance between plasticity and stability.
Increasing our knowledge about the stability and plasticity of the visual brain has tremendous potential for innovation in health care and high-tech industry: 1) rehabilitation, treatments and detection of disease can be developed and refined based on knowing how the brain changes as a result of visual loss or neural dysfunction; 2) it can inspire the development and implementation of artificial intelligence, such as adaptive automated vision systems. However, our present knowledge of the adaptive capacity of the human brain is incomplete and largely qualitative in nature. This limits translation into significant applications.
To overcome this,  NextGenVis –Research Network for training the Next Generation of European Visual Neuroscientists – will aim its research and training efforts on teaching young researchers in how to a) acquire new, quantitative knowledge on the adaptive properties of the visual brain in health and disease – with a strong focus on the neurocomputational basis – and b) apply this new knowledge to boost innovation in health care and technology.
Our pan-European team of academic, health care and private sector partners is ideally suited to accomplish this as it bundles and focuses unique European expertise and resources in brain imaging, psychology, neurology, ophthalmology and computer science. Importantly, the positive impact of this network will extend beyond the current focus on vision and will last long after the funding period. It will continue to link together a team of highly skilled researchers who will inspire each other to excel in visual neuroscience and its applications.
Satellite-based investigation of flood-affected rice cultivation areas in Chao Phraya River Delta, Thailand

Abstract The occurrence of catastrophic floods in Thailand in 2011 caused significant damage to rice agriculture. This study investigated flood-affected rice cultivation areas in the Chao Phraya River Delta (CRD) rice bowl, Thailand using time-series moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The data were processed for 2008 (normal flood year) and 2011, comprising four main steps: (1) data pre-processing to construct time-series MODIS vegetation indices (VIs), to filter noise from the time-series VIs by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and to mask out non-agricultural areas in respect to water-related cropping areas; (2) flood-affected area classification using the unsupervised linear mixture model (ULMM); (3) rice crop classification using the support vector machines (SVM); and (4) accuracy assessment of flood and rice crop mapping results. The comparisons between the flood mapping results and the ground reference data indicated an overall accuracy of 97.9% and Kappa coefficient of 0.62 achieved for 2008, and 95.7% and 0.77 for 2011, respectively. These results were reaffirmed by close agreement ( R 2  > 0.8) between comparisons of the two datasets at the provincial level. The crop mapping results compared with the ground reference data revealed that the overall accuracies and Kappa coefficients obtained for 2008 were 88.5% and 0.82, and for 2011 were 84.1% and 0.76, respectively. A strong correlation was also found between MODIS-derived rice area and rice area statistics at the provincial level ( R 2  > 0.7). Rice crop maps overlaid on the flood-affected area maps showed that approximately 16.8% of the rice cultivation area was affected by floods in 2011 compared to 4.9% in 2008. A majority of the flood-expanded area was observed for the double-cropped rice (10.5%), probably due to flood-induced effects to the autumn–summer and rainy season crops. Information achieved from this study could be useful for agricultural planners to mitigate possible impacts of floods on rice production.
Medical Students’ Attitudes and Beliefs towards Psychotherapy: A Mixed Research Methods Study

Background: Research findings suggest that attitudes towards psychotherapy predict willingness to seek therapy. However, understanding how medical students think about using and referring their patients for psychotherapy is limited. Aims: The aims of this study are to measure medical students' attitudes towards professional help seeking, and to investigate the reasons for whether or not they would refer their patients to psychotherapy in their future role as doctors. Method: The participants were 127 medical students in their first and second year of the MBBS4 programme at the Cyprus campus of St George's University of London, who completed a self-report measure of attitudes towards psychotherapy and a semi-structured interview. Findings: Participants showed general positive attitudes towards psychotherapy, but were reluctant to use or refer their patients, largely due to perceived stigma and accessibility. Conclusions: Medical students should be further trained in order to become more confident in using psychotherapy and referring their patients.
Tunable coupling between three qubits as a building block for a superconducting quantum computer

Centre for Quantum Computer Technology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, AustraliaLarge scale quantum computers will consist of many interacting qubits. In this paper we expandthe two ﬂux qubit coupling scheme ﬁrst devised in [Phys. Rev. B 70, 140501 (2004)] and realizedin [Science 314, 1427 (2006)] to a three-qubit, two-coupler scenario. We study L-shaped and line-shaped coupler geometries, and show how the interaction strength between qubits changes in termsof the couplers’ dimensions. We explore two cases: the “on-state” where the interaction energybetween two nearest-neighbor qubits is high, and the “oﬀ-state” where it is turned oﬀ. In bothsituations we study the undesirable crosstalk with the third qubit. Finally, we use the GRAPEalgorithm to ﬁnd eﬃcient pulse sequences for two-qubit gates subject to our calculated physicalconstraints on the coupling strength.I. INTRODUCTION
Granular cell ameloblastoma: Case report of a particular ameloblastoma histologically resembling oncocytoma

Granular cell ameloblastoma is classified as a histological subtype of solid/multicystic ameloblastoma. Usual granular cell ameloblastoma is histologically characterized by granular changes of stellate-like cells located in the inner portion of the epithelial follicles. Here we report a case of another type of granular cell ameloblastoma, showing predominant anastomosing double-stranded trabeculae of granular cells. This type of granular cell ameloblastoma is extremely rare, and the World Health Organization classification does not contain the entity. We tentatively termed it 'anastomosing granular cell ameloblastoma' in this report. The present case suggests the importance of differential diagnosis because the histology of 'anastomosing granular cell ameloblastoma' resembles that of salivary gland oncocytoma rather than that of usual granular cell ameloblastoma. The trabeculae observed in our case continued to the peripheral cells of a small amount of epithelial sheets of plexiform ameloblastoma, and the tumor cells were positive for CK19, which is regarded as an immunohistochemical marker of odontogenic epithelium. Similar to usual granular cell ameloblastoma, the tumor cells had CD68-positive granules. For precise diagnosis of this condition, immunohistochemistry using CK19 and CD68, as well as detailed histological observation, are recommended.
