Published: September 2016

Background Very few data have been published about the naturalcourse of gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) symptoms duringinfancy; further, no risk factors of GER disease (GERD) have beenidentified.Objectives To determine the prevalence and natural course ofregurgitation in infancy and factors of gastroesophageal refluxdisease.Methods A cohort of 223 healthy infants who attended IntegratedHealth Services run by local housewife (Posyandu) of Ciputat –suburb of Jakarta – between March and November 2005.Information on subjects’ history of regurgitation and other reflux-related symptoms was obtained by interviewing mother and diaryrecord. Subjects were followed up to age of 1 year irrespective ofthe clinical status.Results At 6 months of age most infants (56.5%) had regurgitation1 to 3 days per week and only 2.7% infants regurgitated daily.Regurgitation 1 to 3 episodes per day was found in 92.8% ofsubjects. The proportion of infants regurgitation decreasedgradually with age; the proportion for the consecutive 6 to 11month was 100%, 65.5%, 33.6%, 14.3%, 3.6% and 1.3%,respectively. At the age of 1 year no infants was found to beregurgitated. Related symptoms included hiccup (58.3%),vomiting (23.3%) and back arching (2.2%). Feeding problemoccurred in 34.1% infants and occurred more likely in infantswho regurgitate daily compared to 4 – 6 day per week (OR 3.5;95%CI 2.2;5.6) and 1 – 3 day per week (OR 1.8; 95%CI 0.6;0.9).Conclusions Regurgitation in infancy disappears spontaneouslywith age. Reflux-related symptoms are hiccup, vomiting and backarching. Feeding problem occurs most likely in infants whoregurgitate daily.

Published: September 2016

Background Although intestinal helminthiasis causes highmorbidity and has a negative impact on children’s growth anddevelopment, the efficacy of antihelmintics for multiplehelminthiasis in mass treatment is still doubtful.Objective To compare the efficacy of single dose mebendazoleand a combination of pyrantel pamoate and mebendazole for thetreatment of multiple infections due to Ascaris lumbricoides,hookworm, and Trichuris trichiura.Methods Subjects were elementary school students in Suka Village,Tiga Panah subdistrict, North Sumatera. They were randomizedto either receive mebendazole (M Group) or mebendazole-pyrantel pamoate group (MP Group). Stool examinations wereperfomed on each subjects on day 7, 14, 21, and 28 after treatment.Analyses were perfomed by using chi-squared and Mann-WhitneyU tests.Results The prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis was 95.4%. T.trichiura (88.7%) was the most common cause of infection followedby A. lumbricoides (79.5%), and hookworm (3.1%). Two hundredthirty nine (76.8%) children had multiple infections. Althoughthe egg reduction rate of intestinal helminthiasis in thecombination group was faster than that of the mebendazole group,there was no significant difference in the cure rate of both groups.Conclusion A single dose of mebendazole is preferred for masstreatment of multiple intestinal helminthiasis infections.

Background The incidence of atopic disease tends to increaseover the past few decades and its morbidity interferes with thequality of life and health. Prediction of the disease is importantfor early prevention.Objective To evaluate the relationship between atopicmanifestations, family history (FH) of atopic disease and cordblood IgE (CB-IgE) levels.Methods We conducted an analytic observational study withcohort retrospective design on children with an average age of 3years whose CB-IgE had been measured at delivery inKiaracondong Primary Health Care during October–December2004. Manifestations of atopic disease were recorded using ISAACquestionaire for allergy. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney test, andlogistic regression analysis were used for analysis.Results Cord blood IgE was measured on 124 children after birth.Only 94 children (76%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Atopicdisease was found in 17 children (18%), consisting of 8 childrenwith atopic dermatitis, 4 with allergic rhinitis, and 5 suffered fromboth. There were significant differences in the mean value of CB-IgE (Z M-W =4.60; P<0.001) and FH (x 2 =19.059; P<0.001)between atopic and non atopic children. Cut off point of the CB-IgE concentration was 1.4 IU/mL (77.7%). The highest probabilityfor atopic manifestations was found in children who had highCB-IgE and positive FH (P=45%). Relative risk of children withhigh CB-IgE level in positive FH group was 3.636 (95% CI0.943;14.016).Conclusion CB-IgE level and family history of atopic disease arerisk factors for the development of atopic manifestation.

Published: September 2016

Background Urinary tract infections (UTI) in infants may manifest in various ways and often appear without symptoms. Previous studies have reported that j aundice has been observed in infants aged less than 8 weeks 'With UTIs. However, a prospective study on the prevalence of UTI in infants with jaundice aged 2􀁂8weeks is warranted in order to improve diagnosing capability and provide prompt treatment.Objective To investigate the prevalence and profiles of UTI in infants with jaundice aged 2􀁂8 weeks.Methods This cross􀁂sectional study was carried out in June-December 2011 in infants with jaundice aged 2􀁂8 weeks. Subjects were patients from the Department of Child Health, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (CMS), as well as the Pediatric Polyclinics ofBudi Kemuliaan and Thamrin Hospitals. All subjects underwent total, direct and indirect bilirubin examinations, urinalyses and urine cultures.Results Of the 110 subjects recruited, the prevalence of UTI was 18.2%. More boys than girls had UTIs (13 boys, 7 girls). The microorganisms found in subjects v.ith UTIs were Escherichia coli (10/20), Klebsiella pneumoniae (8/20), and Enterobacter aerogenes (2120). Indirect hyperbilirubinemia was found in 5/20 subjects. There were more subjects with UTIs in the non􀁂exclusively breastfed (8/20) and non􀁂breastfed (8/20) groups than in the exclusively breastfed group (4/20), the full term gestational age (GA) group (17/20) than the pretenn GA group (3/20), and the normal birth weight group (15/20) than the low birth weight group (5/20). The median age of jaundice onset was 3.5 days (range lAO days), and the median duration of jaundice was 13.5 days (range 3-56 days).Conclusion The prevalence of UTI in infants aged 2􀁂8 weeks v.ith jaundice was 18.2%. More boys than girls had UTIs. The most common infecting microorganism found in our subjects was Escherichia coli. In daily medical practice, infants with prolonged jaundice of more than 2 weeks should be tested byurin alysis and urine cultures for the presence of UTIs. [Paediatr Indones.2012;52:304-8].

Iron contributes to the regulation of dopamineneurotransmitter activity, thus, iron deficiency has been associatedwith ADHD. Several studies have been conducted in othercountries to assess for a correlation between serum ferritin levelsand ADHD symptom scores, but 'With varied results.Objective To examine the relationship between iron deficiency andADHD symptoms, in particular the correlation between serumferritin levels and Abbreviated Conners Teachers Rating Scale(ACTRS) scores in children v.ith ADHD.Methods T his cross􀁚sectional study was performed in childrenaged 5􀁚 12 years who were newly diagnosed \\lith ADHD. Subjectswere recruited from the Klinik Anakku Kelapa Gading, theNeurology Outpatient Clinic, the Growth and Development􀁚Social Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic, and the Integrated ChildClinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. ADHD diagnoses wereestablished using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of MentalDisorders, 4th edition (DSM􀁚IV). Subjects' parents and teacherswere asked to complete the ACTRS instrument sheet. Venousblood specimens were obtained for peripheral blood and serumferritin level tests.Results Of the 33 subjects recruited, 23 were male. Subjects' agesranged from 5􀁚 12 years, \\lith a median age of onset of 4 (range2􀁚 10) years. The combined type of ADHD (with inattention andhyperactivity􀁚impulsivity) was more commonly found (20/33)in our subjects. T he mean serum ferritin was 51.31 (SD 27.7)ng/mL. Using 20 ng/mL as the serum ferritin cutoff value, 5/33subjects were considered to be iron deficient. Median ACTRSscore by parents and teachers were 15 and 15, respectively. Higherscores were found in the combined type subject group than in theinattention type subject group. Median serum ferritin levels ofthe two ADHD type groups were similar. Median ACTRS scoresof parents and teachers tended to be higher in the iron􀁚deficientgroup (16 and 16, respectively) than in the normal serum irongroup (14.5 and 12.5, respectively). Serum ferritin level showedno correlation (r=􀁚0.243; P=0.086) to the parents' ACTRSscore, and no correlation (r=􀁚.057; P=0.377) to the teachers'ACTRS score.Conclusion Serum ferritin level showed no correlation to ACTRSscores of parents and teachers, respectively.

This paper presents
YourSQL
, a database system that accelerates data-intensive queries with the help of additional in-storage computing capabilities. YourSQL realizes very early filtering of data by offloading data scanning of a query to user-programmable solid-state drives. We implement our system on a recent branch of MariaDB (a variant of MySQL). In order to quantify the performance gains of YourSQL, we evaluate SQL queries with varying complexities. Our result shows that YourSQL reduces the execution time of the whole TPC-H queries by 3.6×, compared to a vanilla system. Moreover, the average speed-up of the five TPC-H queries with the largest performance gains reaches over 15×. Thanks to this significant reduction of execution time, we observe sizable energy savings. Our study demonstrates that the YourSQL approach, combining the power of early filtering with end-to-end datapath optimization, can accelerate large-scale analytic queries with lower energy consumption.
ActiveClean

Published: September 2016

Analysts often clean dirty data iteratively--cleaning some data, executing the analysis, and then cleaning more data based on the results. We explore the iterative cleaning process in the context of statistical model training, which is an increasingly popular form of data analytics. We propose ActiveClean, which allows for progressive and iterative cleaning in statistical modeling problems while preserving convergence guarantees. ActiveClean supports an important class of models called convex loss models (e.g., linear regression and SVMs), and prioritizes cleaning those records likely to affect the results. We evaluate ActiveClean on five real-world datasets UCI Adult, UCI EEG, MNIST, IMDB, and Dollars For Docs with both real and synthetic errors. The results show that our proposed optimizations can improve model accuracy by up-to 2.5x for the same amount of data cleaned. Furthermore for a fixed cleaning budget and on all real dirty datasets, ActiveClean returns more accurate models than uniform sampling and Active Learning.
Compressed linear algebra for large-scale machine learning
Authors: Elgohary Ahmed , Boehm Matthias , Haas Peter J. , Reiss Frederick R. , Reinwald Berthold
Published: September 2016

Large-scale machine learning (ML) algorithms are often iterative, using repeated read-only data access and I/O-bound matrix-vector multiplications to converge to an optimal model. It is crucial for performance to fit the data into single-node or distributed main memory. General-purpose, heavy- and lightweight compression techniques struggle to achieve both good compression ratios and fast decompression speed to enable block-wise uncompressed operations. Hence, we initiate work on compressed linear algebra (CLA), in which lightweight database compression techniques are applied to matrices and then linear algebra operations such as matrix-vector multiplication are executed directly on the compressed representations. We contribute effective column compression schemes, cache-conscious operations, and an efficient sampling-based compression algorithm. Our experiments show that CLA achieves in-memory operations performance close to the uncompressed case and good compression ratios that allow us to fit larger datasets into available memory. We thereby obtain significant end-to-end performance improvements up to 26x or reduced memory requirements.
RDF graph alignment with bisimulation
Authors: Buneman Peter , Staworko Sławek
Published: September 2016

We investigate the problem of aligning two RDF databases, an essential problem in understanding the evolution of ontologies. Our approaches address three fundamental challenges: 1) the use of "blank" (null) names, 2) ontology changes in which different names are used to identify the same entity, and 3) small changes in the data values as well as small changes in the graph structure of the RDF database. We propose approaches inspired by the classical notion of graph bisimulation and extend them to capture the natural metrics of edit distance on the data values and the graph structure. We evaluate our methods on three evolving curated data sets. Overall, our results show that the proposed methods perform well and are scalable.
LSH ensemble

Published: September 2016

We study
the problem of domain search
where a domain is a set of distinct values from an unspecified universe. We use Jaccard set containment score, defined as |
Q
∩
X
|/|
Q
|, as the measure of relevance of a domain
X
to a query domain
Q
. Our choice of Jaccard set containment over Jaccard similarity as a measure of relevance makes our work particularly suitable for searching Open Data and data on the web, as Jaccard similarity is known to have poor performance over sets with large differences in their domain sizes. We demonstrate that the domains found in several real-life Open Data and web data repositories show a power-law distribution over their domain sizes.

We present a new index structure, Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) Ensemble, that solves the domain search problem using set containment at Internet scale. Our index structure and search algorithm cope with the data volume and skew by means of data sketches using Minwise Hashing and domain partitioning. Our index structure does not assume a prescribed set of data values. We construct a cost model that describes the accuracy of LSH Ensemble with any given partitioning. This allows us to formulate the data partitioning for LSH Ensemble as an optimization problem. We prove that there exists an
optimal
partitioning for any data distribution. Furthermore, for datasets following a power-law distribution, as observed in Open Data and Web data corpora, we show that the optimal partitioning can be approximated using equi-depth, making it particularly efficient to use in practice.

We evaluate our algorithm using real data (Canadian Open Data and WDC Web Tables) containing up over 262 million domains. The experiments demonstrate that our index consistently outperforms other leading alternatives in accuracy and performance. The improvements are most dramatic for data with large skew in the domain sizes. Even at 262 million domains, our index sustains query performance with under 3 seconds response time.

Entity matching (EM) has been a long-standing challenge in data management. Most current EM works focus only on developing matching algorithms. We argue that far more efforts should be devoted to building EM systems. We discuss the limitations of current EM systems, then present as a solution Magellan, a new kind of EM systems. Magellan is novel in four important aspects. (1) It provides how-to guides that tell users what to do in each EM scenario, step by step. (2) It provides tools to help users do these steps; the tools seek to cover the entire EM pipeline, not just matching and blocking as current EM systems do. (3) Tools are built on top of the data analysis and Big Data stacks in Python, allowing Magellan to borrow a rich set of capabilities in data cleaning, IE, visualization, learning, etc. (4) Magellan provides a powerful scripting environment to facilitate interactive experimentation and quick "patching" of the system. We describe research challenges raised by Magellan, then present extensive experiments with 44 students and users at several organizations that show the promise of the Magellan approach.
Effective community search for large attributed graphs
Authors: Fang Yixiang , Cheng Reynold , Luo Siqiang , Hu Jiafeng
Published: September 2016

Given a graph
G
and a vertex
q
∈
G
, the
community search
query returns a subgraph of
G
that contains vertices related to
q
. Communities, which are prevalent in
attributed graphs
such as social networks and knowledge bases, can be used in emerging applications such as product advertisement and setting up of social events. In this paper, we investigate the
attributed community query
(or ACQ), which returns an
attributed community
(AC) for an
attributed graph
. The AC is a subgraph of
G
, which satisfies both
structure cohesiveness
(i.e., its vertices are tightly connected) and
keyword cohesiveness
(i.e., its vertices share common keywords). The AC enables a better understanding of how and why a community is formed (e.g., members of an AC have a common interest in music, because they all have the same keyword "music"). An AC can be "personalized"; for example, an ACQ user may specify that an AC returned should be related to some specific keywords like "research" and "sports".

To enable efficient AC search, we develop the CL-tree index structure and three algorithms based on it. We evaluate our solutions on four large graphs, namely Flickr, DBLP, Tencent, and DBpedia. Our results show that ACs are more effective and efficient than existing community retrieval approaches. Moreover, an AC contains more precise and personalized information than that of existing community search and detection methods.

To screams, to tears, to fits of desire. I can remember every theatrical viewing of each of his films I have seen.” Hastie's column goes on to consider whether the films actively altered her own sense of perception, or whether her altered states determined her perception of Audiard's films. Engaging with the work of Henri Bergson, and exploring the themes of guardianship and traumatic fictions, Hastie delves into Audiard's logics vis-à-vis her own “matter and memory,” including an appreciation of her dog, Arlo.
Why “goEast” When They Are All Coming West?

A report from the sixteenth goEast Festival of Central and Eastern

European Film, which took place at the historic Caligari FilmBühne in Wiesbaden, Germany. Supported by the German Film Institute (Deutsches Filminstitut DIF) in Frankfurt, goEast originated in 2001 as a cross-cultural initiative designed to popularize East Central European cinema in the West, an effort which was then aligned with the European unification project focused on incorporating the post- Communist countries into the European family. Today, as the festival continues to cast its gaze eastward, it is no longer the expansion of the European Union that provides its political framework. Rather, this year's edition was more impacted by the questions surrounding the future existence of the European Union itself, whose members had recently refused to act in solidarity to address the ongoing refugee crisis, with some even contemplating exit strategies. Intensifying nationalism and resurgent xenophobia were directly mentioned by a number of goEast organizers as forces that the festival is actively seeking to oppose.
Two Rooms, Monologues, Imaginaries, as Seen through their Texts

These texts represent monologues previously unavailable in English from two Chantal Akerman films, La Chambre 2 (1972) and Le Déménagement (Moving Out, 1992), made two decades apart. Because they add significantly to the corpus of Akerman's writing and its aesthetic strategies, they have been specially translated and included in this dossier as a contribution to the archive. The Editors thank Cyril Béghin for facilitating access to these texts from the fonds Chantal Akerman, published (in French) in Bande(s) à part, Tome 25: Chantal Akerman, and give special thanks to Katharina von Bismarck and Éditions de l'Arche for their cooperation.

The CHD1 gene, encoding the chromo‐domain helicase DNA‐binding protein‐1, is one of the most frequently deleted genes in prostate cancer. Here, we examined the role of CHD1 in DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in prostate cancer cells. We show that CHD1 is required for the recruitment of CtIP to chromatin and subsequent end resection during DNA DSB repair. Our data support a role for CHD1 in opening the chromatin around the DSB to facilitate the recruitment of homologous recombination (HR) proteins. Consequently, depletion of CHD1 specifically affects HR‐mediated DNA repair but not non‐homologous end joining. Together, we provide evidence for a previously unknown role of CHD1 in DNA DSB repair via HR and show that CHD1 depletion sensitizes cells to PARP inhibitors, which has potential therapeutic relevance. Our findings suggest that CHD1 deletion, like BRCA1/2 mutation in ovarian cancer, may serve as a marker for prostate cancer patient stratification and the utilization of targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors, which specifically target tumors with HR defects.

La espondilolistesis traumática del axis representa un 5% de las fracturas cervicales y es definida por una fractura de la pars interarticularis de la segunda vertebral cervical.

El mecanismo de esta fractura usualmente implica fuerzas de hiperextensión. Los aspectos mas importantes realcionados al pronóstico y tratamiento son el compromiso discal C2-C3, el compromiso neurológico y la presencia de luxación facetaria.

En relacion al tratamiento conservador o quirúrgicos en patrones no desplazados, el tratamiento quirurgico podría resultar en una recuperacion precoz. Por otro lado se han descrito buenos resultados con el uso de Halo chaleco. A continuación se presenta un caso de espondilolistesis traumática del axis tratado con osteosíntesis directa a traves de un abordaje posterior en un paciente que rechazó el tratamiento conservador.

 
Meningioma cervicotorácico resistente al tratamiento quirúrgico. Presentación de un caso y revisión de la bibliografía

Published: September 2016

Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 60 años con signos clínicos de mielopatía cervical de un año de evolución, dolor cervicodorsal intenso (estadio B de Frankel, grado V de Nurick), en el momento de nuestro primer examen. Trae una resonancia magnética que informa un tumor cervicotorácico compatible con meningioma. El paciente requería una rápida resolución quirúrgica y exéresis. Si bien el tiempo entre la presentación clínica inicial y el diagnóstico preliminar de meningioma por resonancia magnética está dentro de lo estipulado en la bibliografía, creemos que esta enfermedad se podría haber diagnosticado y tratado de forma más temprana. Llegamos a la conclusión de que el diagnóstico tardío sumado a las limitaciones en el sistema de salud pública actual han contribuido al resultado final poco satisfactorio, ya que luego de la resección tumoral, la liberación medular y la estabilización con material quirúrgico, aunque el resultado inmediato fue satisfactorio, no se logró un buen resultado funcional a largo plazo, porque el paciente no recuperó la función motora ni sensitiva, sólo se logró que la mielopatía no progresara y el paciente no sufra más dolor.
Paternal Stimulation and Early Child Development in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Published: September 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Few studies have examined the relationship between paternal stimulation and children’s growth and development, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of paternal stimulation and to assess whether paternal stimulation was associated with early child growth and development.

METHODS:

Data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys rounds 4 and 5 were combined across 38 LMICs. The sample comprised 87 286 children aged 3 and 4 years. Paternal stimulation was measured by the number of play and learning activities (up to 6) a father engaged in with his child over the past 3 days. Linear regression models were used to estimate standardized mean differences in height-for-age z-scores and Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) z-scores across 3 levels of paternal stimulation, after controlling for other caregivers’ stimulation and demographic covariates.

RESULTS:

A total of 47.8% of fathers did not engage in any stimulation activities, whereas 6.4% of fathers engaged in 5 or 6 stimulation activities. Children whose fathers were moderately engaged in stimulation (1–4 activities) showed ECDI scores that were 0.09 SD (95% confidence interval [CI]: –0.12 to –0.06) lower than children whose fathers were highly engaged; children whose fathers were unengaged showed ECDI scores that were 0.14 SD lower (95% CI: –0.17 to –0.12). Neither moderate paternal stimulation nor lack of paternal stimulation was associated with height-for-age z-scores, relative to high stimulation.

CONCLUSION

Increasing paternal engagement in stimulation is likely to improve early child development in LMICs.

The goal of research is to evaluate the current state of phytodiversity of Martyniachyi Island in order to predict its change under the bird influence. The botanical research was carried out by traditional methods. Species and Families are presented according to Vascular plants of Ukraine Checklist (Mosyakin, Fedoronchuk, 1999). The article presents the latest data on phytodiversity of Martyniachyi Island located in the Sivash Gulf of Azov Sea. Contemporary taxonomy (31 species of vascular plants) and syntaxonomy diversity (11 associations from 7 formations) of the island is established. The flora of the island consists mainly of annual plant species (80.6 %). This testifies to the ephemerality of “nature” communities of the island, which develop under the influence of colonial bird activity. Species diversity of communities is low, that is because of island isolation and small area, and also because of significant bird influence. Among the plant communities the formation Sisymbrieta loeselii is dominate. Communities of formations Anisantheta sterilis, Asperugeta procumbens, Atriplexideta tataricae, Atriplexideta aucherii, Hyoscyameta nigrii, Suaedeta confusae occupy comparatively less island area. Synthaxonomy of the island vegetation based on the ecological and floristic classification includes plant communities from 2 classes, 2 alliances, 3 units, and 6 associations.

The principal factor influenced the quantitative diversity of island vegetation and its spatial structure is the influence of colonial bird settlement, namely Laridae.

Published: September 2016

The work is devoted to the study of total antioxidant activity (AOA) in the growth dynamics of basidiomycetes strains in their periodic surface cultivation on glucose-peptone medium. Subjects of research are mycelium and culture filtrate (CF) from 57 strains, 5 of which are belong to 5 types of Polyporales order, and 52 of which are belong to the 7 types of Agaricales order. In order to study the dynamics of growth used method for determining the weight of absolutely dry biomass accumulation (ADB). Total AOA of mycological material was evaluated by inhibition of lipid peroxidation products accumulation intensity in the model oxidation reaction of Tween-80 by air oxygen. It was found that the most productive in terms of the accumulation of ADB are strains F. velutipes F-610 and P. eryngii P-er. Lowest values of ADB accumulation recorded for strains P. ostreatus P-14 and P-192 and P. citrinopileatus P sіtr. Were selected the most productive strains of Basidiomycetes for the level of total AOA in mycelium and CF. There are strains P. eryngii P-er, P. citrinopileatus P sіtr, P. ostreatus P-035, F. hepatica Fh-08, A. cylindracea 960, P. ostreatus P-081, P-082, P-087, P. citrinopileatus P sіtr. Has not been established the dependence between the growth and the antioxidant activity of the 9- and 12-day fungal cultures. Selected producers of natural antioxidants may be used as biological agents in biotechnology.
