The paradox of normalization through rehabilitation: growing up and growing older with cerebral palsy

To examine the experience of normalization through rehabilitation for persons growing up & growing older with lifelong physical impairment (cerebral palsy [CP]).A qualitative methodology consisting of narrative inquiry informed by the Life Course Perspective. Multiple (3-4), in-depth interviews were completed with each participant in order to co-construct their life stories. Data were systematically compared for themes and categories, as well as the central plot that weaves the participants' experiences together.Nine community-dwelling individuals (three men; six women), aged 26-70, with mild to severe CP participated. Their common narrative involved intensive rehabilitation in childhood that focused on "normalizing" movement, particularly walking. In adolescence they were deemed to have achieved their functional potentials and "nothing further could be done". After transitioning out of pediatric health services many start to lose the gains they achieved in rehabilitation (particularly around walking). In their 30's and 40's they begin to slow down and lose functional abilities but no longer have access to rehabilitation to help them manage their aging bodies.Many of the assumptions that underlie the organization and delivery of rehabilitation services for people with long term impairments may contribute to difficulties encountered in adulthood and old age by focusing on normalizing physical function at the expense of learning to manage their bodies across the life course.• The way that rehabilitation services are organized and delivered for people with lifelong impairments needs to be re-considered. • Frontloading rehabilitation in childhood does not meet the long term needs of children growing up and growing older with physical impairments. As they grow up and grow older, they lose many of the gains they achieved in rehabilitation yet they have nowhere to turn to receive rehabilitation for their aging bodies. • The focus on normalizing function in childhood may only serve to emphasize the child’s lack of ablebodiedness to the detriment of their sense of self and wellbeing.
Advertising to businesses: Does creativity matter?

Abstract Business-to-business advertising research has long been grounded in rationality with a focus on factual, functional, benefit-laden messages. However, in consumer advertising, psychological differentiators, such creativity, are frequently used to increase advertising effectiveness. With growing evidence that consumer marketing concepts apply to business buyers, this research investigates the effect advertising creativity has on the organizational buying process. Using an online survey, we present actual advertisements to managers in the B2B environment. Our results provide strong evidence that message creativity influences business managers' response toward advertising for site selection. Creative ads generated stronger shifts in attitudes toward the ad, attitudes toward the brand, and behavioral intentions. The results extend previous research on the role of creativity in advertising to a business-to-business context. The results also challenge conventional wisdom and dominant practices in advertising to businesses.

Spirituality Intervention and Outcomes: Corner stone of Holistic Nursing Practice

Background: Holistic nursing results in healing the whole person as human being that has interconnectedness of body mind social cultural spiritual aspect. Objective: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of Islamic spirituality interventions on health outcomes in nursing. Method: Databases searched for electronic journals and books that were published since 1994 to 2010 were included. Results: Spirituality intervention mainly composes of prayer, recitation of the holy Qur’an, remembrance of Allah, fasting, charity, prophets’ methods, and modified Islamic methods. Thirteen studies found that various outcomes have been highlighted when applied in several areas of nursing, such as stimulating baby’s cognitive ability in maternal nursing, promoting health during eating halal food, fasting, abstinence of alcohol and tobacco consumption, performing regular exercise, reducing anxiety, and pain in medical-surgical nursing. In mental health nursing, six studies explored effects of prayer and religious psychotherapy to enhance happiness and physical health and alleviate anxiety, and depression. Three studies reported Islamic cognitive therapy to alleviate the auditory hallucination, bereavement, and depression. In critical care nursing, three studies employed reciting the holy Qur’an and talqin in end of life care. Conclusion: Although the literature is limited in the amount and quality of spirituality interventions, some evidences have shown as integrative energy in nursing practice to promote health and minimize some symptoms. Spirituality interventions should be performed to acknowledge the high priority in holistic nursing and support interventions. Keywords: spirituality intervention, holistic nursing, Islam
Methodological challenges in studying urban Aboriginal homelessness

Aboriginal people comprise a disproportionate percentage of the homeless population in many cities in Canada, the United States and Australia. Their experiences can be traced to past and present policies of assimilation and colonialism. To end homelessness it is imperative that the paths into and out of homelessness for Aboriginal populations be understood. We discuss the challenges faced when studying urban Aboriginal populations, based on three studies conducted in a Canadian city. These deal with intersecting aspects of methodology including sampling, Aboriginal identity, lack of services governed by Aboriginal peoples, variability in social and political context within and between locations, participation of Aboriginal people in knowledge translation, and ethical practices. We conclude that community-based research provides the most opportunity for addressing these challenges.
Hardware Implementation of POSITs and Their Application in FPGAs

The failure of Dennard's scaling, the end of Moore's law and the recent developments regarding Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are leading computer scientists, practitioners and vendors to fundamentally revise computer architecture to look for potential performance improvements. One such candidate is to re-evaluate how floating point operations are performed, which have remained (nearly) unchanged for the past three decades. The POSIT numerical format was introduced in mid-2017 and is claimed to be more accurate, have a wider dynamical range and fewer unused states compared to the IEEE-754. However, the hardware implications of migrating to a POSIT format are unknown. In this paper, we present our results regarding POSITs and their implementation on Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs). We designed a tool that automatically generates and pipelines POSIT operators that can be used as drop-in replacement in processing units or in High-Level Synthesis tools (e.g. Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL). We empirically quantified the performance and area overhead of our POSIT implementation compared to two well-known IEEE-754 implementations, and show that our units can operate at comparable frequencies. We finally show how we can integrate our POSIT hardware into existing Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL data-paths, enabling software programmers to easily continue to evaluate POSITs.
Acute myeloid leukemia leukemic initiating cells: contribution of hypoxia/hif pathway to chemoresistance and relapse

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by acquired cytogenetic and molecular alterations in hematopoietic progenitor cells. There is a substantial need to develop new therapeutic approaches to AML; however, the genetic heterogeneity of AML constitutes a barrier for the development of targeted therapies. Leukemia relapse after treatment is most often caused by a subgroup of cells commonly referred to as leukemia initiating cells (LICs), which are resistant to chemotherapy. It is thought that this resistance is the result of several properties unique to LICs, including their dormant and metabolically inactive state, making them less susceptible to genotoxic drugs. The localization of the LICs in the hypoxic bone marrow niche has been proposed as a driving factor for dormancy. The HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) family of transcription factors mediates cellular adaptation to hypoxia. While the role of HIFs in the pathogenesis of solid tumors is quite well established, they have only recently been suggested as key regulators of LICs in specific types of leukemia. Yet, results to date are highly controversial, with some studies supporting an oncogenic activity for HIFs and others pointing to a tumor suppressor role.

We propose a broad transcriptional study of human AML classified by cytogenetic criteria and disease stage (diagnosis vs relapse). We will focus on HIF-regulated target genes in the LIC subgroup and evaluate LIC heterogeneity using state-of-the-art single-cell technologies. Our results should extend our understanding of the ability of LICs to survive cytotoxic therapy and help to identify candidate targets for clinical application.

The use of AML patient samples and single-cell techniques included in this proposal will increase my scientific knowledge and practical experience. I will also benefit from the complementary planned activities of the action, empowering me to become an independent investigator in the near future.
BCI: an optimised speller using SSVEP

The proposed work is done in order to develop an optimised Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system (speller) for people with severe motor impairments using SSVEP (Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials). To make the system fast yet error-free, the optimisation of speller is divided into three domains: one is the design of smart encoding method for the selection of appeared characters on interface, second one is the optimal frequency choice and the last one is design of optimal feature classification algorithm. Three classification methods: threshold method, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are evaluated. An optimal user window is also carefully selected after many trails in order to maintain a decent communication rate. The optimised BCI system provides an average accuracy of 96% with character per minute (CPM) of 13 ± 2. Speller performs almost similar with new users too because inter-subject variability is tackle by SVM classifier.
Optimization of Homogenization-Evaporation Process for Lycopene Nanoemulsion Production and Its Beverage Applications

Lycopene is a natural antioxidant which has several health benefits. Undesirable oxidation of lycopene compromises its health benefits and also affects the sensory quality of food products containing lycopene. Health benefits associated with lycopene in food preparations can be enhanced by preventing its degradation by incorporating it into the oil phase of an oil-in-water nanoemulsion. In this study, lycopene nanoemulsions were prepared from a low-concentration lycopene extract using an emulsification-evaporation technique. The effects of the concentrations of the lycopene extract (0.015 to 0.085 mg/mL) and emulsifier (0.3 to 0.7 mg/mL), and the number of homogenization cycles (2 to 4) on the droplet size, emulsification efficiency (EE), and nanoemulsion stability were investigated and optimized by statistical analysis using a Box-Behnken design. Regression analysis was used to determine the 2nd-order polynomial model relationship of independent and dependent variables, with multiple regression coefficients (R(2)) of 0.924, 0.933, and 0.872, for the droplet size, EE, and nanoemulsion stability, respectively. Analysis of variance showed that the lycopene extract concentration has the most significant effect on all the response variables. Response surface methodology predicted that a formulation containing 0.085 mg/mL of lycopene extract and 0.7 mg/mL of emulsifier, subjected to 3 homogenization cycles, is optimal for achieving the smallest droplet size, greatest emulsion stability, and acceptable EE. The observed responses were in agreement with the predicted values of the optimized formulation. This study provided important information about the statistical design of lycopene nanoemulsion preparation.

Bionomics of the rice meal moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) reared under laboratory condition on different diets

The rice meal moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton is one of the serious insect pests of stored milled rice and other milled cereal products in India. But another economic importance of this insect is that the eggs of these insects are used as diet to mass multiply the bio-agent like Trichogramma spp. We studied the biology and bionomics of this pest under controlled laboratory conditions. An experiment was conducted during July 2015 to October 2015 in the Biological Control laboratory, Department of Entomology, IGKV, Raipur at 27 0C + 20 0C (and 75+5% RH to study the different diet performance on the biology and bionomics of rice moth, C. cephalonica. Five cereals viz., rice, wheat, pearlmillet (jowar), sorghum (bajra) and maize were tested solely along with their combinations. The female moth had longer body length and weight as compared to male moth. Both male and female reared on mixed diet with a combination of (rice+jowar+maize) had maximum body weight and body length. There was a high positive co-relation between fecundity and female body weight. The mixed diet of rice +jowar +maize was highly superior, in comparison to others for mass production of C. cephalonica. The shortest life cycle was found in the combinations of bajra + jowar + maize up to 35 and 40 days respectively and longest life cycle was found in rice extending of 60 to 70 days.
Pulsed valves: fast forward

Small miracles occur in the ‘puff’ of gas emitted by a modern pulsed valve. Broad thermal velocity distributions are converted into a mono-velocity uni-directional supersonic jet and the numerous rotational states of the molecules in the jet are frozen down to their lowest level; all of this taking place in a very modest vacuum apparatus. Pulsed valves have revolutionized molecular dynamics and mass spectrometry research; however, the commercial supply of these valves is at this moment rapidly disappearing. This proposal, PUlsed valves: Fast Forward, PUFF, teams an academic site that needs help in developing and employing their original design of a pulsed valve with a commercial enterprise offering the most advanced charged particle detection systems that wishes to create and offer its own source of pulsed valves.  Three early stage researchers will be trained at the cutting edge of PhD science and enterprise research and development, allowing access for the PhD research program to the best possible equipment while helping the early stage researchers to learn in practise what it takes to convert a rough design into a viable commercial product. In addition to forming this unique and exciting means of early stage researcher training within the European Industrial Doctorate program, the academic and mass spectrometry community as a whole will benefit from a new and stable supplier of advanced technologies.
Civil Society: The Imperative for Reconceptualisation

The civil society concept is popularly multidisciplinary in utility and reference, yet, modernity has witnessed its worst misapplications and abuse, so much that it is controversially contended to be both something and nothing. This historical exploration of its origin and founding values had discovered the point of departure and distortions to its pristine virtue and its eventual abuse. It is argued that the pristine civil society maintained a Pareto elite/mass balance until the tragic rise of feudalism and the Church in socio-political calculations of the middle ages. The ensuing scenarios ensured the tragic crippling of the civil society; the triumph of the elite and the inconsequentiality of the masses. The elite have since consolidated on the post Westphalian and Industrial Revolution gains to redefine and manipulate the concept, firstly, towards the continual political ignominy of the masses, and, secondly, for perpetual elite dominance of the state, and the academia have been duped into complicity with the elite. The case is thus made on the imperative of a proper conceptualisation that would fine-tune the modern state in line with the progressive minds of the classical statesmen that fashioned the original civil society.
Improving ASR-based topic segmentation of TV programs with confidence measures and semantic relations

The increasing quantity of video material requires methods to help users navigate such data, among which topic segmentation techniques. The goal of this article is to improve ASRbased topic segmentation methods to deal with peculiarities of professional-video transcripts (transcription errors and lack of repetitions) while remaining generic enough. To this end, we introduce confidence measures and semantic relations in a segmentation method based on lexical cohesion. We show significant improvements of the F1-measure when integrating confidence measures and semantic relations respectively. Such improvement demonstrates that simple clues can conteract errors in automatic transcripts and lack of repetitions. Index Terms: topic segmentation, confidence measures, semantic relations, TV broadcasts
Separation, failure and temporary relinquishment: women’s experiences of early mothering in the context of emergency hysterectomy

To describe the experiences of women who have had an emergency hysterectomy following a severe postpartum haemorrhage and the impact on their early mothering experiences.Postpartum haemorrhage and subsequent hysterectomy is a traumatic birth event. Traumatic birth experiences have the potential to impact on a woman's experience of motherhood and her initial relationship with her baby. The relative rarity of this event makes it easy to dismiss the experiences of women having a hysterectomy following childbirth. Little is known about a woman's early mothering experience in the context of having an emergency hysterectomy.Qualitative naturalistic inquiry approach.Data were collected through semi-structured qualitative interviews from 21 Australian women who had an emergency hysterectomy following a severe postpartum haemorrhage.Findings revealed three themes in relation to early mothering experiences in the context of having a hysterectomy following a severe postpartum haemorrhage. They were 'initial separation: lost bonding time', 'feelings of failure' and 'relinquishing care of the infant'.This paper highlights the ways undergoing emergency hysterectomy following childbirth can impact on the experience of early mothering in the postnatal period.Greater recognition and attention to the specific needs of women who have an emergency hysterectomy following childbirth is required. Providing women with an opportunity to talk, debrief and ask questions related to their birthing experiences, will help women to reconcile their feelings. Giving women the opportunity to have their infants with them in intensive care unit, together with ongoing emotional support and anticipatory guidance, may also be useful approaches in assisting women during this difficult and traumatic time.

Room temperature reversible tuning of magnetism of electrolyte-gated La0.75Sr0.25MnO3 nanoparticles

Reversible control of magnetization and Curie temperature (TC) by electrostatic modulation of the surface charge carrier density is presented for the strongly correlated La0.75Sr0.25MnO3 (LSMO) system. The nanoparticulate LSMO was synthesized by spray pyrolysis. A controlled post annealing was carried out to obtain a sharp magnetic transition slightly above room temperature along with favorable surface-to-volume ratios. Resulting nanoporous LSMO was electrostatically charged using a non-aqueous electrolyte with applied voltage limited within the purely capacitive window. The electrostatic charging effect on magnetization was investigated around TC for varying temperatures and applied magnetic fields. The resultant magnetization modulation upon charging is discussed in terms of the reversible electrostatic hole doping.
