The objective of our study was the evaluation of major lifestyle risk factors for the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the assessment of chances of developing this disease among inhabitants in the region, in the presence of and with combinations of the studied risk factors. Risk factors for developing RCC that are associated with lifestyle (smoking, obesity and hypertension) were observed in 500 patients with RCC aged 30-64 years who were investigated at the Krasnoyarsk Oncology Dispensary (study group) and 858 participants in the Krai (control group). The results of our study showed that smoking increases the risk of developing RCC 2.9 times and arterial hypertension 3.3 times in men; in women, obesity and hypertension increased these risks 2.6 and 3.2 times, respectively. All three risk factors were combined in 13.6% of men and in 8.4% of women with RCC. Our data may be useful for the prevention, development of screening programmes and early diagnosis of RCC.
Synthesis and reactivity of β-stannylated phenylalanines
Authors: Dölling Karin
Published: December 2017

The free radical hydrostannation of a series of N-benzoyl and N-acetyl dehydrophenylalanine esters 2a
–
h yields β-stannylated phenylalanine derivatives 3 and 4. This addition of tin hydride to such unsaturated compounds simultaneously creates two new chiral centers leading to mixtures of two diastereomeric pairs of enantiomers. The reaction of 3-stannylated phenylalanine 3 with methanolic HCl yields chlorostannyl-substituted compounds 5 and 6 and, with one equivalent of bromine, the bromostannylated compounds 7 and 8 are formed. The bromostannylated phenylalanine derivative 7 reacts with one further equivalent of bromine to produce the dibromostannylated compound 9. Even the chlorostannylated phenylalanine derivative 5 reacts with one further equivalent of HCl to give the dichlorostannylated compound 10. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and multinuclear (1H, 13C, 119Sn) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Attempts were made to assign the preferred conformation of the stannylated phenylalanine derivatives using Karplus-type relationship of coupling constants 3
J(H,H), 3
J(Sn,H), and 3
J(Sn,C=O). The results of these analyses have been confirmed by three crystal structure determinations.
Percepción social y encuentros con serpientes en Costa Rica: un análisis a través de la red social Facebook
Authors: Sánchez-Paniagua Katherine , González-Villalobos Katherine , Abarca Juan G.
Published: December 2017

Las serpientes están entre los animales más afectados por el desconocimiento que tienen muchas personas hacia la vida silvestre. En Costa Rica, se han realizado pocos esfuerzos por conocer cómo son afectadas por causa de las acciones humanas. En el presente estudio se utiliza información suministrada a la página Serpientes de Costa Rica de la red social Facebook para responder: ¿cuáles especies se reportan con mayor frecuencia?, ¿cuáles de estas sufren mayor cantidad de muertes? y ¿qué capacidad para reconocerlas tienen quienes envían los reportes? Se obtuvieron un total de 484 reportes, de los cuales en 389 ocasiones fueron serpientes no venenosas y 95 venenosas, identificándose 66 especies, las más frecuentes fueron Ninia maculata, Senticolis triaspis, Leptodeira rhombifera, Boa imperator, Bothrops asper, Bothriechis schlegelii y Mastigodryas melanolomusy los géneros con mayor mortalidad fueron Mastigodryas, Bothrops, Senticolis, Geophis y Leptodeira. Se pudo concluir que las personas mataban una de cada cuatro serpientes sin importar si era o no venenosa. Las especies de los géneros Mastigodryas, Geophis, Senticolis, Ninia y Leptodeira fueron de las menos identificadasy las mejor identificadas fueron B. imperator, B. asper y B. schlegelii. Solo una de cada cinco personas pudo reconocer correctamente si una serpiente era o no venenosa. Los reportes se dieron con un grupo reducido de especies, por lo que la educación para la conservación de estos animales puede iniciar con estas que parecen ser más frecuentes, y así paulatinamente, las personas pueden reconocer y proteger mejor a estos animales.
Rentabilidad financiera de Cedrela odorata L. en sistemas agroforestales con café en Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica
Authors: González-Rojas Mariela , Murillo-Cruz Rafael , Ávila Arias Carlos
Published: December 2017

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la producción de madera de cedro en sistemas agroforestales (SAF) con café, utilizando un modelo de predicción del volumen comercial obtenido en el área de estudio, así como la rentabilidad que se genera por la venta de café, madera y el pago por servicios ambientales (PPSA). El estudio se realizó en el cantón de Pérez Zeledón, provincia de San José, Costa Rica. Se establecieron 30 parcelas temporales de muestreo de 1 000 m2 en SAF con cedro entre cinco y 17 años de edad. Se evaluó el crecimiento en diámetro (DAP) y la altura comercial (HC) de la especie, así como el manejo del SAF (actividades, insumos y rendimientos) y producción de café mediante entrevista al productor. Los modelos obtenidos permitieron predecir el volumen comercial (m3 árb-1) en función de la edad (R2=88,7%), el DAP (R2=90,3%) y HC (R2=97,2%). La producción de café promedio de los sitios muestreados fue de 26 fanegas ha-1 año-1. A los 17 años de edad del cedro se obtuvo una producción de 1,04 m3 árb-1 (92,13 m3 ha-1) de madera en pie, lo cual representó un aporte financiero de 81% del valor actualizado neto (VAN) del SAF en el período de análisis. Los indicadores financieros estimados permiten concluir que el SAF café-cedro es rentable ya que generó un VAN positivo de ₡8 198 601,5, una tasa interna de retorno (TIR) de 16%, la cual fue superior al costo del dinero (tasa de descuento de 6,1%) y una relación B/C de 1,34.

Authors: Koroleva M. S. , Piir I. V. , Istomina E. I.
Published: December 2017

Mg-, Ni-codoped bismuth niobates Bi1.6Mg0.8-xNixNb1.6O7-δ (x = 0; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8) were obtained by conventional solid-state reaction method. It was shown that the Mg atoms are distributed at the Nb sites while the Ni atoms are distributed over the Bi- and the Nb-sites, according to the results of comparison of pycnometric and X-ray density of the Bi1.6Mg0.4Ni0.4Nb1.6O7-δ pyrochlore. In this case, about 15–20% of the vacancies are formed at the Bi sites. The obtained compounds are stable up to their melting point based on the DSC analysis data. Real dielectric permittivity ε' of the Bi1.6Mg0.8-xNixNb1.6O7-δ samples decreases from 80 to 65 with the temperature decrease from 25 to 700 °C and practically does not depend on frequency in the range of 1–1000 kHz. Oxides Bi1.6Mg0.8-xNixNb1.6O7-δ behave like insulators up to 280 °C, their conductivity increases with temperature (Ea,dc ≈ 1.3 eV, dc) and with the Ni content at a given temperature.

A Standard Model of the Mind: Toward a Common Computational Framework Across Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Robotics
Authors: Laird John E. , Lebiere Christian , Rosenbloom Paul S.
Published: December 2017

A standard model captures a community consensus over a coherent region of science, serving as a cumulative reference point for the field that can provide guidance for both research and applications, while also focusing efforts to extend or revise it. Here we propose developing such a model for humanlike minds, computational entities whose structures and processes are substantially similar to those found in human cognition. Our hypothesis is that cognitive architectures provide the appropriate computational abstraction for defining a standard model, although the standard model is not itself such an architecture. The proposed standard model began as an initial consensus at the 2013 AAAI Fall Symposium on Integrated Cognition, but is extended here through a synthesis across three existing cognitive architectures: ACT‐R, Sigma, and Soar. The resulting standard model spans key aspects of structure and processing, memory and content, learning, and perception and motor, and highlights loci of architectural agreement as well as disagreement with the consensus while identifying potential areas of remaining incompleteness. The hope is that this work will provide an important step toward engaging the broader community in further development of the standard model of the mind.

Cultural Studies and Close Reading
Authors: Brown Angus Connell
Published: December 2017

Why did it take so long to start writing the history of close reading? For the best part of a century, close reading has grounded literary studies in the university, structuring assessment, teaching, employment, and publication. A basic proficiency in close reading has long been a professional obligation for faculty members and a course requirement for students. It makes sense, then, that Caroline Levine'sFormsbegins with a description of our method in action. A reader is settling down to work with a copy ofJane Eyre.She has a lengthy education behind her and a wealth of interpretive techniques for the book in front of her. Still, one thing is certain: our critic will broach the forms of the novel by drawing from “close reading methods” while using “historical research methods to analyze sociopolitical experience.” “But,” Caroline Levine asks, “would our critic be right to distinguish between theformaland thesocial?”(1).
Individual Influence
Authors: Horton George Moses , Senchyne Jonathan
Published: December 2017

George Moses Horton (1797?-1883?) is one of three African Americans known to have published poetry while enslaved in colonial north America or the United States. The recently discovered holograph manuscript of “Individual Influence” is the only available evidence that Horton also wrote short essays. Written in 1855 or 1856 and published here for the first time, “Individual Influence” provides a new perspective on Horton's writing process, his strategic affiliations in Chapel Hill, and his changing ideas about the relative efficacy of political and divine influence. More generally, the essay expands the available archive of writing by enslaved African Americans.

Scar endometriosis, also referred to as abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE), is a rare form of endometriosis that usually develops in the scar after obstetric or gynecological surgeries, including cesarean section (CS). Recently, the occurrence of scar endometriosis has been increasing together with the increase of CS incidence. Scar endometriosis can be clinically misdiagnosed as hernia, lipoma, or hematoma. Here we retrospectively analyzed the clinical aspects of scar endometriosis and surgical approach in 14 patients from a tertiary hospital, who were treated by surgery, between 2012 and 2017. The mean age was 32.71 ± 8.61 years (range: 19–45). Palpable mass and cyclic pain at the scar site were the most common complaints. Twelve patients had previously undergone CS, and two patients had undergone a surgery of ovarian endometrioma. The preoperative diagnosis was determined with ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT). Preoperatively, scar endometriosis was diagnosed in 12/14 patients (85.7%), while 2 patients (14.3%) were diagnosed with inguinal hernia. The treatment was surgical excision in all patients; in addition, mesh repair surgery was performed in 1 patient with recurrent scar endometriosis. Postoperatively, endometriosis was confirmed by histology in all patients. The average size of endometriomas was 24.71 ± 6.67 mm (range: 11–35). No woman had concurrent pelvic endometriosis. In the follow-up period (mean: 9 months) the recurrence of endometriosis was not observed. Scar endometriosis should be considered in all women of reproductive age presenting with cyclic pain and swelling in their abdominal incision sites.

Indicators of Socio-Spatial Transport Disadvantage for Inter-Island Transport Planning in Rural Philippine Communities
Authors: Cao David , Stanley John , Stanley Janet
Published: December 2017

This article seeks to identify areas of relative transport disadvantage within an archipelagic region of the Philippines, so its people can be privileged through the provision of faster inter-island journeys to support social inclusion. It assesses the constraints that limit travel between cities and townships by undertaking a small travel behavior survey and trip generation/distribution model across four population centres, to observe how physical isolation from larger centres of social confluence can be reflected by lower trip volumes and associated increases in risks of social exclusion. The article’s methodology makes use of limited information to identify where reductions in inter-island travel time can be proposed for people living in areas of greater relative transport, social and economic disadvantage, so that individual economic and personal travel opportunities can be made more accessible, reducing exclusion risks and promoting well-being.
Visualizing the Impacts of Movement Infrastructures on Social Inclusion: Graph-Based Methods for Observing Community Formations in Contrasting Geographic Contexts
Authors: O'Brien Jamie , García Vélez Laura , Zaltz Austwick Martin
Published: December 2017

In this article we describe some innovative methods for observing the possible impacts of roads, junctions and pathways (movement infrastructures), on community life in terms of their affordances and hindrances for social connectivity. In seeking to observe these impacts, we combined a range of visualization research methods, based on qualitative points-data mapping, graphic representation and urban morphological analysis at local and global geographic scales. Our overall aim in this study was to develop exploratory methods for combining and visualizing various kinds of data that relate to urban community formations in contrasting urban contexts. We focused our enquiry on the perspectives of adolescents in two urban contexts: Liverpool, UK, and Medellín, Colombia. While they contrast in their geo-political and cultural characteristics, these two cities each present polarized socio-economic inequalities across distinctive spatial patterns. We found that adolescents in these cities offer generally localized, pedestrian perspectives of their local areas, and unique insights into the opportunities and challenges for place-making in their local community spaces. We gathered the communities’ local perspectives through map-making workshops, in which participants used given iconographic symbols to select and weight the social and structural assets that they deemed to be significant features of their community spaces. We then sampled and visualized these selective points data to observe ways in which local community assets relate to infrastructural affordances for movement (in terms of network integration). This analysis was based on the theory and method of Space Syntax, which provides a model of affordances for movement across the urban network over various scales of network configuration. In particular, we sought to determine how city-scale movement infrastructures interact with local-scale infrastructures, and to develop methods for observing ways in which these interactions have positive or negative consequences for community formations.
Empaty ability and the quality of interpersonal relations in youth
Authors: Klimenkova E.N.
Published: December 2017

We present the results of the study of the relationship between empathy and the quality of interpersonal relations in adolescents and students. Interpersonal relations are operationalized through attachment styles — secure, anxious—preoccupied and avoiding. We review studies of the impact of attachment on empathy development. The present study involved 169 people, including school, college, and university students. We used the Interpersonal Reactivity Index by M. Davis and forced-choice attachment paragraphs by C. Hazan and F. Shaver. Students with secure attachment have the lowest level of personal distress. Empathic concern and the perspective taking indicators are higher in the ambivalent attachment group in comparison with the avoidantly attached students. It is concluded that avoidance of intimacy with other people is accompanied by less pronounced empathy than striving for intimacy and a simultaneous fear of rejection.

Descriptive and qualitative analyses show that compositional, interactive and representational functions are articulated in the genre advertising and that the meanings constructed from the integration of the various semiosis are linked to the patterns of experience and social interactions according to each culture.KEYWORDS: multimodality; advertisement; persuasion.
Fenomenologia e subjetividade lírica em Michel Collot
Authors: Mousquer Antônio Carlos , Melo Alberto Lopes de
Published: December 2017

Este artigo objetiva explorar alguns conceitos acerca das relações entre poesia e filosofia que o teórico francês Michel Collot tem elaborado desde a década de 1980. Ele tem se dedicado ao estudo das relações entre poética e espaço na poesia moderna, baseando-se principalmente nas contribuições da fenomenologia, da qual toma de empréstimo o conceito husserliano de estrutura do horizonte, bem como na ontologia estabelecida por Merleau-Ponty. Este artigo também expõe uma leitura do poema “Um novo Jó”, de Manoel de Barros, enquanto um exemplo do modo como a poesia contemporânea por vezes se aproxima dos postulados da fenomenologia, do “voltar às coisas mesmas”.

Patterns of activities among Cracow’s young retirees in an urban environment(an example of cluster analysis)
Authors: Urbaniak Anna
Published: December 2017

Population ageing has drawn increasingly more attention to the question of retirement. On the one hand, the number of retirees increases and retirement becomes a more prominent part of life. As a result, people at present have developed a distinct retirement lifestyle and retirees become more diverse. This study presents how the choices of young retirees (individuals that are retired for no longer than 10 years) in urban environment differ. The empirical material used for this study consisted of 206 interviews conducted with inhabitants of Cracow. Interviews were conducted from June to December 2014. Hierarchical cluster analysis enabled to differ two type of time usage models (traditional and open) and 3 types of young retirees (active retirees residing in districts that have a wide offer dedicated to senior citizens, passive retirees with limited funds and moderately active older young retirees).

Authors: Pielesiak Iwona
Published: December 2017

The article analyzes participation of senior citizens in urban life of Łódź in the context of spending their free time. The paper is also aimed at revealing obstacles for their mobility within the city. It occurred that the elderly want to participate more in urban life, especially because of their strong desire to meet other people. However, there are still many barriers, mostly relating to public transport and road infrastructure, that make such participation difficult. Also many deficiencies may be found in seniors’ residential environment as well as in public green areas.
Why wear a prosthetics when you could become a superhero instead? Dzieci, protezy i kilka uwag o tym, jak słownik krytycznych studiów nad niepełnosprawnością może wzbogacić język nowych studiów nad dzieciństwem
Authors: Brzozowska-Brywczyńska Maja
Published: December 2017

Artykuł stanowi propozycję przyjrzenia się interpretacyjnemu potencjałowi pojęć ze słownika krytycznych studiów nad niepełnosprawnością (prosthetic power, visual activism) jako narzędzi analizy doświadczeń niepełnosprawnych dzieci prowadzonej w ramach nowych studiów nad dzieciństwem. W polu studiów nad niepełnosprawnością analizy dzieci i ich (niepełnosprawnego) dzieciństwa wciąż pozostają w mniejszości, podobnie jak w polu nowych studiów nad dzieciństwem niepełnosprawność wciąż nie zyskała takiej widoczności, jak płeć, klasa czy rasa. Wychodząc od opisu przykładów projektów dziecięcych protez 3D redefiniujących sztuczną kończynę odpowiednio jako pretekst do zabawy z innymi dziećmi, atrybut superbohatera i pole sprawstwa rozumianego jako współprojektowanie (siebie), poszukuję w nich nawiązań do wątków teoretycznych i interpretacyjnych obecnych w polu współczesnych, krytycznych studiów nad niepełnosprawnością, a następnie odnoszę je do perspektywy nowych studiów nad dzieciństwem, pokazując – na przykładzie disabled children’s childhood studies – jaka rama analizy niepełnosprawnych dzieci może powstać na bazie imperatywów krytycznych studiów nad niepełnosprawnością i nowych studiów nad dzieciństwem.
Konwencja o prawach dziecka a realizacja praw dziecka z niepełnosprawnością w relacjach rówieśniczych
Authors: Mikołajczyk-Lerman Grażyna
Published: December 2017

Podjęte rozważania wpisują się we współczesny dyskurs w społecznym podejściu do niepełnosprawności, gdzie zwraca się szczególną uwagę na kwestię obywatelstwa i realizacji praw osób niepełnosprawnych, w tym także dzieci. Prezentowany artykuł dotyczący realizacji praw dziecka z niepełnosprawnością ma za zadanie pokazać przede wszystkim, jak Polska realizuje Konwencję ONZ o prawach dziecka w świetle okresowych sprawozdań z wykonywania konwencji. Zaś analiza opinii dzieci pełno- i niepełnosprawnych ma przedstawić, w jaki sposób one same rozumieją prawa dziecka, które są dla nich najważniejsze, a także jakie istnieją bariery w realizacji tych praw w codziennym funkcjonowaniu. Teoretyczne ramy prowadzonych analiz stanowią podstawowe tezy poszerzonej społeczno-relacyjnej teorii niepełnosprawności z uwzględnieniem podejścia opartego na prawach człowieka (the rights-based approach), a także nowoczesnej koncepcji dzieciństwa.
Efficiency in Vocational Rehabilitation Program Service Delivery: The Impact of Socioeconomic Context
Authors: Gere Bryan O. , Burnett Royce D. , Flowers Carl R. , Akaaboune Ouadie
Published: December 2017

Background:State-federal (VR) program efficiency is the focus of empirical research because of increases in the magnitude and types of program requests, possibly funding cuts and class for models to more appropriately measure and evaluate performance.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to examine the impact socioeconomic diversity has on the efficiency of service delivery outcomes at the agency level.

Methods:Regular closed employment and competitive employment outcome proxy for service delivery outcome. Seven indicators of socioeconomic status are selected: level of English Language proficiency, percentage with high school education, percentage with a bachelor’s degree, number of persons in a household, per capita income, median household income, and poverty level.

Findings:Results obtained suggest the magnitude of non-English language spoken in homes and the level of individuals with bachelor’s degrees in the environment served have a significant impact on the efficiency of both regular and competitive placement outcomes at agency level. In addition, the level of high school education and per capita income affect the ability of agencies to procure competitive employment outcomes.

Conclusion:Our result provides evidence that gaining knowledge about the environment from which clients emerge and in which agencies operate is necessary for efficient and effective agency level performance. Our work suggests that knowledge about the presence of language proficiency and bachelors’ degree attainment is key to planning, organizing, directing and controlling the efficiency of agency level regular employment outcome.

Purpose:To conduct a systematic review (SR) of 550 studies produced between 1970 and 2008 that focus on programs and/or services provided by state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies believed to impact client and/or program outcomes.

Method:Authors used a 5-step SR protocol to evaluate and summarize study content and outcomes, study design, and data collection methods.

Results:Results indicate that the VR research base is highly varied in terms of the research focus with respect to programs and services, populations, and outcomes and that it spans across a wide range of research designs and data collection methods.

Conclusions:The majority of the studies included in this review relied on administrative data, particularly Rehabilitation Services Administration data, and surveys. Only a small number of studies employed some type of experimental design, suggesting a lack of application of this type of research design. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Published: December 2017

Purpose: Interteaching, an emerging, empirically supported behavioral teaching method, has been recently and successfully introduced in the college classroom. Historically, most interteaching studies have been conducted in didactic classroom settings. To date, no published interteaching studies have used an online course format. Furthermore, no component analysis of the pair discussion component of interteaching has been published. Therefore, this study was intended to examine the pair discussion component of interteaching in an online graduate rehabilitation course.

Method: Two conditions were randomly assigned across participants and sessions. The first condition included all key components of interteaching in which student dyads were placed in breakout rooms to discuss the assigned preparation guide. The second condition involved all components of interteaching, with the exception of pair discussion. In this condition, students were placed in breakout rooms to complete the preparation guide on their own. Average student quiz scores were compared across conditions.

Results: The pair discussion condition resulted in higher student quiz scores, p < .01. In addition, social validity findings indicated the majority of students reported preference for interteaching with the inclusion of the pair discussion component than without.

Conclusions: Finally, limitations of this study and future directions for interteaching technology in online education is discussed.

Using the data of Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms, the study explores the influence of ERP implementation on accounting information quality from reliability and relevance. Also, the study verifies the difference of the influence in firms which have different sizes and different ownership types. Compared with the firms not implementing ERP, accounting information quality of the firms implementing ERP improves significantly. In addition, the positive influence differs in firms of different sizes and different ownership types. In large-sized firms, ERP implementation has stronger influence on reliability of accounting information. In non-state-owned firms, ERP implementation has stronger influence on accounting information quality in respect to reliability and relevance. Our study supplies the new evidence to gauge the impact of ERP implementation on accounting information quality in an emerging economy context.

The Assessment and implementation of Islamic Shari'a agency (LP2SI) has a significant role in the development of Pamekasan, one of which in the economic sector development. However, as a drafter and not as a practitioner, LP2SI has some limited authority. Furthermore, it seems that the human resources of LP2SI have also some constrains so far. The role of LP2SI stems from a mindset that has been structured so as to produce some concepts including in the economic areas. The relation between the mindset and Islamic economics then gives rise to Islamic economics schools. In the spectrum of economic thought, LP2SI, can be classified into the thought of mainstream.

Citrullinemia is the earliest identifiable biochemical abnormality in neonates with intrahepatic cholestasis due to a citrin deficiency (NICCD) and it has been included in newborn screening panels using tandem mass spectrometry. However, only one neonate was positive among 600,000 infants born in Sapporo city and Hokkaido, Japan between 2006 and 2017. We investigated 12 neonates with NICCD who were initially considered normal in newborn mass screening (NBS) by tandem mass spectrometry, but were later diagnosed with NICCD by DNA tests. Using their initial NBS data, we examined citrulline concentrations and ratios of citrulline to total amino acids. Although their citrulline values exceeded the mean of the normal neonates and 80 % of them surpassed +3SD, all were below the cutoff of 40 nmol/mL. The ratios of citrulline to total amino acids significantly elevated in patients with NICCD compared to the control. By evaluating two indicators simultaneously, we could select about 80% of patients with missed NICCD. Introducing an estimated index comprising citrulline values and citrulline to total amino acid ratios could assure NICCD detection by NBS.
