Authors: Pereira Pérez Zulay , Fontana Hernández Angélica , Rojas Rodríguez Dinia
Published: August 2019

La investigación realizada acerca del concepto de esquema corporal de niñas y niños con y sin necesidades educativas especiales (nee) de preescolar, segundo y cuarto grados, proporciona información relevante sobre la construcción de este concepto.

La mayor parte de las y los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales, de los tres niveles educativos, expresan conceptos de cuerpo relacionados con las características y las cualidades corporales, aunque algunos también refieren a habilidades corporales. Es importante resaltar que estos conceptos no presentan diferencias sustanciales con los expresados por las y los estudiantes sin necesidades educativas.

El número de partes del cuerpo mencionadas aumenta a medida que lo hace el nivel educativo y se ve reflejado en las representaciones gráficas de sus cuerpos. No obstante, la mayoría de las y los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales presentaron mayor dificultad en la ubicación de partes del cuerpo con su respectiva lateralidad.

Conforme aumenta a nivel educativo, se identifica que las y los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales asumen las labores domésticas y expresan tener mayor dificultad para las actividades escolares. Asimismo, indican que sienten malestar cuando las personas importantes de su entorno les dicen cosas relacionadas con su cuerpo. No obstante, la mayoría de las y los estudiantes con y sin necesidades educativas especiales expresan percepciones positivas relacionadas con su cuerpo y tienen un sentimiento de respeto por sí mismas(os).

Por lo anterior, se recomienda que en los procesos educativos se tomen en consideración los conocimientos previos de las y los estudiantes y se enfatice en la enseñanza de aspectos no solo referidos a conocimientos del cuerpo, sino relacionados con la imagen corporal. Es valiosa la aplicación de actividades didácticas que permitan la vivencia y construcción de los conceptos estudiados, para prevenir los desajustes que se pueden generar en la adquisición del esquema corporal, o bien, compensar las necesidades educativas derivadas o no de una discapacidad.

Authors: Chacón Araya Yamileth , Moncada Jiménez José
Published: August 2019

El propósito del estudio fue determinar el grado de actividad física y la intención de cambio en las niñas, niños y adolescentes matriculados en un programa de actividad física en la Universidad de Costa Rica.

Las y los participantes (113 sujetos con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 16 años) respondieron un cuestionario relacionado con la intención de cambio de su actividad física, sus hábitos actuales y las posibilidades de práctica de la actividad física. Los resultados mostraron que 80.5% de las y los niños, realizaba ejercicio regularmente, al menos durante tres meses consecutivos. Se determinó que el 50.4% de las y los participantes no tienen la oportunidad de salir a jugar solos, si no los acompañan sus padres o encargados, y el 91.2% consideraba importante realizar ejercicio junto a sus progenitores. El 94.7% de los encuestadas(os) recibe clases de Educación Física formales, pero sólo entre una y dos clases semanales, situación que repercute en su salud física y mental futura y en su posibilidad de incorporar el hábito de ejercitarse en su estilo de vida. Con base en el modelo de las etapas de cambio, se clasificó al 67.3% de las niñas y las(os) niños, de los cuales un 55.8 % se ubicó en la etapa de mantenimiento.

Este es el primer intento que se realiza en Costa Rica para clasificar a las niñas y los niños utilizando un modelo teórico, y los resultados son congruentes con los reportados en estudios efectuados en otros países. En conclusión, se recomienda el uso de este modelo transteórico para detectar la disponibilidad para el cambio en niñas, niños y adolescentes hacia hábitos y estilos de vida saludables. Es necesario ampliar los parámetros para realizar otras investigaciones al respecto.

Authors: Lukanov H. , Genchev A. , Penchev Iv. , Penkov D.
Published: August 2019

At 35 days of age, meat quality analysis was done as well as proximate analysis of breast and thigh muscles of 72 male quails from heavy Pharaoh line. Lightness values (L*) depended both on the time of post mortem analysis and of topographic site – lateral or medial muscle surface of the pectoral muscle. The L* value of lateral M. pectoralis superficialis (MPS) was higher. Redness and yellowness of meat increased proportionally to post mortem ageing, with peak values on the 24th post mortem hour. The chroma was more expressed on the medial MPS surface. With regard to determination of a common index of meat colour based on CIE L*a*b* coordinates, we propose the calculation of Meat Colour Index (MCI) according to the formula: MCI = (L* - C*). The meat of Japanese quails had high protein and low fat content. Gross energy of breast meat was within 5.03 - 6.13 MJ*kg-1, and that of thigh meat between 4.90 and 5.75 MJ*kg-1. The processing mode of carcasses by removing the skin made quail meat an exceptionally dietetic product with fat content < 3%.

Published: August 2019

Based on skulls from Central Bulgaria, the possibilities of aging stone martens were considered and compared. Two different skull morphological criteria methods were compared to more precise method – counting of annuli in dentin. Precise aging of stone martens was only possible by counting of annuli in dentin. It is not recommended using methods by development of sagittal crest and maxillary teeth attrition separately for aging stone martens. A combination of several methods is considered to be reliable.
MEAT COLOUR CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTIVE TYPES DOMESTIC QUAILS
Authors: Lukanov H.
Published: August 2019

The aim of the present study was to investigate the meat colour characteristics, using CIE L*a*b* colour description system, of quails from the two main production types reared in Europe: the intermediate heavy (dual-purpose) and heavy (meat-type). Quails were separated by gender in male and female subgroups, as follows: Am, Af, Dm, Df, Mm and Mf, where A group was dual-purpose and D and M groups were from heavy type. Meat colour characteristics of the breast (M. pectoralis superficialis), tenders (M. pectoralis profundus) and leg muscles (M. Iliotibialis lateralis pars postacetabularis) were evaluated on post mortem hour 24 in CIE L*a*b* colour description system. On the basis of L*, a* and b* values, the chroma (С*), colour index (CI) and meat colour index (MCI) were calculated. The lateral surface of M. p. superficialis was substantially darker in the light all-purpose type than in the heavy group М (р<0.001). The lowest lightness values (L*) were detected on M. p. superficialis facies medialis and the outer surface of M. p. profundus. The highest average meat redness was detected on M. p. superficialis facies medialis and the lowest - in thigh muscles (M. iliotibialis). Average yellowness (b*) of all studied muscles were positive in all groups of quails, with statistically significantly lower values in females vs males. The sex-related analysis showed that indices CI and MCI were considerably lower for both surfaces of M. p. superficialis in subgroup Am than in subgroups Dm and Mm (р<0.001). Similar differences were found out for the thigh muscle (р<0.05).

Cubic LSTMs for Video Prediction
Authors: Fan Hehe , Zhu Linchao , Yang Yi
Published: August 2019

Predicting future frames in videos has become a promising direction of research for both computer vision and robot learning communities. The core of this problem involves moving object capture and future motion prediction. While object capture specifies which objects are moving in videos, motion prediction describes their future dynamics. Motivated by this analysis, we propose a Cubic Long Short-Term Memory (CubicLSTM) unit for video prediction. CubicLSTM consists of three branches, i.e., a spatial branch for capturing moving objects, a temporal branch for processing motions, and an output branch for combining the first two branches to generate predicted frames. Stacking multiple CubicLSTM units along the spatial branch and output branch, and then evolving along the temporal branch can form a cubic recurrent neural network (CubicRNN). Experiment shows that CubicRNN produces more accurate video predictions than prior methods on both synthetic and real-world datasets.
Horizontal Pyramid Matching for Person Re-Identification

Published: August 2019

Despite the remarkable progress in person re-identification (Re-ID), such approaches still suffer from the failure cases where the discriminative body parts are missing. To mitigate this type of failure, we propose a simple yet effective Horizontal Pyramid Matching (HPM) approach to fully exploit various partial information of a given person, so that correct person candidates can be identified even if some key parts are missing. With HPM, we make the following contributions to produce more robust feature representations for the Re-ID task: 1) we learn to classify using partial feature representations at different horizontal pyramid scales, which successfully enhance the discriminative capabilities of various person parts; 2) we exploit average and max pooling strategies to account for person-specific discriminative information in a global-local manner. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed HPM method, extensive experiments are conducted on three popular datasets including Market-1501, DukeMTMCReID and CUHK03. Respectively, we achieve mAP scores of 83.1%, 74.5% and 59.7% on these challenging benchmarks, which are the new state-of-the-arts.
Dual-View Ranking with Hardness Assessment for Zero-Shot Learning
Authors: Guo Yuchen , Ding Guiguang , Han Jungong , Ding Xiaohan , Zhao Sicheng , Wang Zheng , Yan Chenggang , Dai Qionghai
Published: August 2019

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is to build recognition models for previously unseen target classes which have no labeled data for training by transferring knowledge from some other related auxiliary source classes with abundant labeled samples to the target ones with class attributes as the bridge. The key is to learn a similarity based ranking function between samples and class labels using the labeled source classes so that the proper (unseen) class label for a test sample can be identified by the function. In order to learn the function, single-view ranking based loss is widely used which aims to rank the true label prior to the other labels for a training sample. However, we argue that the ranking can be performed from the other view, which aims to place the images belonging to a label before the images from the other classes. Motivated by it, we propose a novel DuAl-view RanKing (DARK) loss for zeroshot learning simultaneously ranking labels for an image by point-to-point metric and ranking images for a label by pointto-set metric, which is capable of better modeling the relationship between images and classes. In addition, we also notice that previous ZSL approaches mostly fail to well exploit the hardness of training samples, either using only very hard ones or using all samples indiscriminately. In this work, we also introduce a sample hardness assessment method to ZSL which assigns different weights to training samples based on their hardness, which leads to a more accurate and robust ZSL model. Experiments on benchmarks demonstrate that DARK outperforms the state-of-the-arts for (generalized) ZSL.
View Inter-Prediction GAN: Unsupervised Representation Learning for 3D Shapes by Learning Global Shape Memories to Support Local View Predictions
Authors: Han Zhizhong , Shang Mingyang , Liu Yu-Shen , Zwicker Matthias
Published: August 2019

In this paper, we present a novel unsupervised representation learning approach for 3D shapes, which is an important research challenge as it avoids the manual effort required for collecting supervised data. Our method trains an RNNbased neural network architecture to solve multiple view inter-prediction tasks for each shape. Given several nearby views of a shape, we define view inter-prediction as the task of predicting the center view between the input views, and reconstructing the input views in a low-level feature space. The key idea of our approach is to implement the shape representation as a shape-specific global memory that is shared between all local view inter-predictions for each shape. Intuitively, this memory enables the system to aggregate information that is useful to better solve the view inter-prediction tasks for each shape, and to leverage the memory as a viewindependent shape representation. Our approach obtains the best results using a combination of L2 and adversarial losses for the view inter-prediction task. We show that VIP-GAN outperforms state-of-the-art methods in unsupervised 3D feature learning on three large-scale 3D shape benchmarks.
Attention-Based Multi-Context Guiding for Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Hu Tao , Yang Pengwan , Zhang Chiliang , Yu Gang , Mu Yadong , Snoek Cees G. M.
Published: August 2019

Few-shot learning is a nascent research topic, motivated by the fact that traditional deep learning methods require tremendous amounts of data. The scarcity of annotated data becomes even more challenging in semantic segmentation since pixellevel annotation in segmentation task is more labor-intensive to acquire. To tackle this issue, we propose an Attentionbased Multi-Context Guiding (A-MCG) network, which consists of three branches: the support branch, the query branch, the feature fusion branch. A key differentiator of A-MCG is the integration of multi-scale context features between support and query branches, enforcing a better guidance from the support set. In addition, we also adopt a spatial attention along the fusion branch to highlight context information from several scales, enhancing self-supervision in one-shot learning. To address the fusion problem in multi-shot learning, Conv-LSTM is adopted to collaboratively integrate the sequential support features to elevate the final accuracy. Our architecture obtains state-of-the-art on unseen classes in a variant of PASCAL VOC12 dataset and performs favorably against previous work with large gains of 1.1%, 1.4% measured in mIoU in the 1-shot and 5-shot setting.
A Framework to Coordinate Segmentation and Recognition
Authors: Huang Wei , Yu Huimin , Zheng Weiwei , Zhang Jing
Published: August 2019

A novel coordination framework between the segmentation and the recognition is proposed, to conduct the two tasks collaboratively and iteratively. To accomplish the cooperation, objects are expressed in two aspects: shape and appearance, which are learned and leveraged as constraints to the segmentation so that the object segmentation mask will be consistent with the object regions in the image and the knowledge we have. For the shape, a bottom-top-bottom pathway is built using an encoder-decoder network with capsule neurons, where the encoder extracts the features of the shape that used for recognition and the decoder generates reference shapes according to these features and the recognition result. During this procedure, capsule neurons can parse the existence of the object and cope with the interference in the segmentation. The appearance knowledge is utilized in another pathway to assist the segmentation processing. Both the shape and appearance information are dependent on the recognition result, thus allowing the classifier to convey object information to the segmenter. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework and model in collaboratively segmenting and recognizing objects that can be recognized using their shapes/shape-patterns.

In each infusion, the maximum total dose administered was 200 mg iron sucrose in 100 ml of normal saline, slow IV infused over 30 minutes. Monitoring was done throughout the infusion to observe for any side effects.Results: Mean hemoglobin among the 50 patients before starting the therapy was 8.172g/dl and the mean hemoglobin at the end of one month of completing the therapy was 11.066g/dl. The rise in mean hemoglobin i.e. the difference in the mean hemoglobin before and after treatment was 2.894g/dl. The p value is 0.0001 which is statistically significant. The mean hematocrit of the 50 patients studied before starting the treatment was 26.772% with a standard deviation of 1.914. The mean hematocrit after completing the therapy was 33.872% with a standard deviation of 1.321. The difference in the mean hematocrit was 7.100% with a p value of 0.0001 which is statistically significant.Conclusions: Intravenous iron sucrose complex is well tolerated and highly efficacious in improving hemoglobin, hematocrit in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in antenatal women.

Background: Acute cholecystitis is one of the hepatopancreatobiliary emergencies. With more and more experience in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy studies are being carried out evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis.Methods: Fifty patients presenting with acute cholecystitis were included in this study and randomized using chit in the box method into two groups- early group and delayed group.Results: Mean duration of surgery in the early group is 42.28±5.99 mins and in the delayed group is 39.12±5.55 mins (p=0.06). Gallbladder perforation was reported in 4 patients (16%) in early group and in 2 patients (8%) in delayed group (p=0.67). Gall stone spillage was reported in 3 patients (12%) in early group and in 2 patients (8%) in delayed group (p=1.00). At 6th hr mean VAS (visual analogue scale) score in the early group was 4.0±0.41 and in the delayed group it was 3.6±0.58 (p=0.01). At 12th hr mean VAS score in the early group was 3.4±0.51 and in the delayed group it was 3.3±0.48 (p=0.39). Mean duration of postoperative stay was 2.24±0.60 days in early group and in the delayed group it was 2.08±0.57 days (p=0.34).Conclusions: It has been found that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible in the setting of acute cholecystitis with added advantage of shorter total hospital stay.

Background: Among different comorbidities in lactating women, breast abscess is most dreaded and common. It is more prevalent in developing world, etiology implicated to malnutrition, poor hygiene and health conditions. In era of technical advances management of breast abscess has shifted to minimally invasive and painless techniques which are more patient friendly.Methods: Hospital based randomized controlled trial was conducted at Department of Surgery, and Department of Radiodiagnosis, King Georges Medical University, Lucknow UP.Results: In our study total 80 patients were analysed, 40 randomized into USG guided needle aspiration group and other 40 into suction catheter placement group. Incidence of breast abscess was higher in lactating group and most common organism was Staphylococcus aureus. It was found that majority of women in both groups were lactating and mean age was 30 years. Same degree of fever was experienced in lactating group as in non-lactating. Amount of pain and scar volume was significantly higher in USG guided needle aspiration group.Conclusions: It seems that two treatment modalities have same effect in terms of fever and residual volume but pain and scar volume was significantly higher in group with USG guided needle aspiraton.

Contribution de la symbiose fixatrice d’azote dans l’adaptation d’une légumineuse à des sols contrastés : le modèle Acacia spirorbis et les contraintes édaphiques extrêmes rencontrées en Nouvelle-Calédonie
Authors: Vincent Bryan
Published: August 2019

Acacia spirorbis est une légumineuse endémique de Nouvelle-Calédonie se développant sur des sols calcaires, métallifères et volcano-sédimentaires, établissant des symbioses avec des bactéries fixatrices d’azote. Pour comprendre la contribution de la symbiose dans l’adaptation de la plante à des milieux contrastés et parfois extrêmes, nous avons évalué la fixation d’azote en conditions naturelles, caractérisé les rhizobia associés à cette plante et analysé la réponse adaptative de la plante aux éléments traces métalliques dans ses tissus racinaires, notamment au niveau des nodules.Nous avons mis en évidence que la symbiose rhizobienne fournissait plus de 80 % de l’azote total chez des populations naturelles d’A. spirorbis se développant sur des sites d’étude présentant des sols calcaires, métallifères et volcano-sédimentaires. Cette valeur est remarquable puisque, pour A. mangium, A.melanoxylon et A.mucronata, les valeurs moyennes sont respectivement de 50 %, 43 % et 58 %. Les rhizobia symbiotiques associés à A. spirorbis appartiennent aux α- et β-protéobactéries, genres Bradyrhizobium et Paraburkholderia, révélant ainsi une très large gamme de symbiontes et une faible sélectivité de partenaire. De manière remarquable, la taxonomie et le phénotype de ces souches sont structurés et adaptés aux conditions édaphiques. Enfin, les signatures chimiques des tissus internes des nodules reflètent les propriétés chimiques des sols dans lesquels ils se sont développés, indiquant une potentielle gestion des éléments traces métalliques dans ces tissus. Tous ces éléments suggèrent que la symbiose fixatrice d’azote contribue de manière significative dans l’adaptation d’Acacia spirorbis à des sols contrastés et pouvant présenter une toxicité polymétallique extrême.

Cette étude se propose d’évaluer les réponses biochimiques des arbrisseaux de Parkia gigantocarpa devant l’engorgement d’eau. L’engorgement est appliqué en inondant les arbrisseaux dans des pots de 14 kg jusqu’à approximativement 5 cm au-dessus de la surface du sol. Le plan expérimental a été façonné aléatoirement et comprenait deux types d’application de l’eau (contrôle et engorgement) sur cinq périodes d’évaluation (après 0, 4, 8, 12 et 16 jours d’engorgement), avec cinq réplications par traitement. Amidon, saccharose, hydrates de carbone solubles totaux et protéines solubles totales ont été mesurés. Les arbrisseaux soumis à engorgement ont montré des réductions significatives des concentrations d’amidon (62,50 %) et de protéines solubles totales (40,98 %), en particulier dans les feuilles. L’engorgement a réduit la concentration de saccharose dans les feuilles (44,38 %), tandis que cette concentration a augmenté dans les racines (76,78 %). La concentration d’hydrates de carbone solubles a augmenté de 106,9 % dans les racines des plantes exposées à l’engorgement. Cette étude a démontré la sensibilité des arbrisseaux de Parkia gigantocarpa à l’engorgement.

Regency in addition to the limited availability of land is the presence of overlapping of Cultivation Area land use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and assess the suitability of land use for the Spatial Patterns of Cultivation Areas of Spatial Plan and to provide policy direction in the land use utilization process. To achieve these objectives, a spatial approach was carried out. Spatial analysis was carried out by overlaying the actual land use map with the Spatial Patterns of Cultivation Areas of Spatial Plan. The next step was to evaluate the suitability of land use in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency in order to assess the suitability of the actual land use utilization of the predefined Spatial Patterns of Cultivation Areas of Spatial Plan. The results of the analysis showed that there were actual unplanned land uses in the Cultivation Area Pattern due to changes in the regional administrative boundary of 786.48 ha. Regarding the suitability of land use utilization to the Spatial Patterns of Cultivation Areas, forms of inconsistency were found. The evaluation results showed that the level of inconsistency in land use utilization in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency was in the low inconsistency category (24.68%). The policy directives in utilizing land use were controlling utilization of space, reviewing, and revising the Plan of Spatial Patterns of Cultivation Areas for Hulu Sungai Utara Regency.
