Authors: Halvorson Elizabeth E. , Ervin Sean E. , Russell Thomas B. , Skelton Joseph A. , Davis Stephen , Spangler John 
Published: January 2016

BACKGROUND:
The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is increasing among pediatric patients in the United States. Previous studies on obesity as a risk factor have produced mixed results.

METHODS:
We completed a retrospective chart review of patients aged 2 to 18 years with VTE identified by using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, codes and confirmed by imaging. Patients were admitted between January 2000 and September 2012. Control subjects were matched on age, gender, and the presence of a central venous catheter. Data were collected on weight, height, and risk factors, including bacteremia, ICU admission, immobilization, use of oral contraceptives, and malignancy. Underweight patients and those without documented height and weight data were excluded. Independent predictors of VTE risk were identified by using univariate and multivariate analyses.

RESULTS:
We identified 88 patients plus 2 matched control subjects per case. The majority of cases were nonembolic events (77%) of the lower extremity (25%) or head and neck (22%) confirmed by ultrasound (43%) or computed tomography scan (41%). A statistically significant association was found between VTE and increased BMI z score (P = .002). In multivariate analysis, BMI z score (odds ratio [OR]: 3.1; P = .007), bacteremia (OR: 4.9; P = .02), ICU stay (OR: 2.5; P = .02), and use of oral contraceptives (OR: 17.4; P &lt; .001) were significant predictors.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this single-institution study, the diagnosis of VTE was significantly associated with overweight and obesity. Further study is needed to fully define this association.
Parental Depression and Pancreatic Enzymes Adherence in Children With Cystic Fibrosis
Authors: Barker David H. , Quittner Alexandra L. 
Published: January 2016

BACKGROUND:
Treatment adherence in cystic fibrosis (CF) is often poor, however, less is known about adherence to pancreatic enzymes, a critical component of the CF treatment regimen. Parent caregivers often report elevations in depression, and parental depression may adversely affect children’s adherence.

METHODS:
This prospective study evaluated adherence to pancreatic enzymes in 83 patients (1–13 years) . Adherence was measured across 3 months with electronic pill-caps . Weight was measured at baseline and a 3-month follow-up. Parental depressive symptoms were evaluated by using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).

RESULTS:
Adherence to pancreatic enzymes was 49.4% ± 3.4%. Adherence was higher at school (94.4% ± 6.1%) than at home (42.3% ± 3.1%), and higher for toddlers (50.6% ± 5.2%) than for school-aged children (37.5% ± 3.7%). Parents reported high rates of depressive symptoms (30% in the clinical range, 18% with moderate symptoms). Children of parents with symptoms of depression versus those without were less adherent (34.8% ± 4.5% vs 48.5% ± 4.1%), and adherence to enzymes was significantly related to 3-month weight outcomes. Average gain in weight z scores across 3 months was 0.5 ± 0.2for children who were &gt;50% adherent and –0.1 ± 6.1for children who were &lt;33% adherent. Parental depression had a signifcant, indirect effect on weight via adherence (–0.005 ± 0.003 gain in weight z score per CES-D unit ).

CONCLUSIONS:
High rates of parental depressive symptoms, coupled with its negative effects on adherence, suggest that measuring and treating parental depression may improve children's adherence to therapy.
Consideraciones teóricas sobre el concepto de liderazgo y su aplicación en la investigación educativa
Authors: Navarro-Corona Claudia 
Published: January 2016

<p>El liderazgo ha sido estudiado por décadas desde diversas posturas y áreas del conocimiento; sin embargo, la abundancia de enfoques y publicaciones, lejos de contribuir a la discusión, ha dificultado los consensos. En medio de su indefinición, el término sigue adquiriendo relevancia en el campo de la investigación educativa. A partir de la revisión de 40 publicaciones, incluyendo cinco meta-análisis, el presente trabajo busca dar respuestas a las preguntas: ¿cómo se define el liderazgo?, ¿cómo se ha desarrollado el concepto en el campo educativo y en otros campos de conocimiento?, ¿qué aportes hace la bibliografía sobre el liderazgo que resulten relevantes para la definición del trabajo de los directores y directoras escolares y su estudio? El artículo reafirma las líneas de investigación a partir de las cuales se ha abordado el concepto y aporta una postura integradora de los tres enfoques principales desde los que se ha abordado el fenómeno en diversos campos del conocimiento. Se expone el liderazgo como una forma de ordenamiento social emergente de la coincidencia entre las características del líder y las necesidades de un grupo en una circunstancia específica y no solo como la consideración de cualidades individuales y del carisma del líder. Se concluye que el liderazgo representa una estructura frágil, vulnerable y corruptible cuando se desea establecerlo como orden permanente de funcionamiento. Se plantea que, en la medida en que se tenga claridad sobre el origen del liderazgo como fenómeno, podrán delimitarse las expectativas que se tienen sobre el desempeño de quienes ejercen las direcciones escolares.</p>
Efecto de una intervención educativa sobre valores antropométricos y hábitos de actividad física de familias costarricenses de la región central en el año 2012
Authors: Sánchez-Méndez Martha Isabel , Hernández-Elizondo Jessenia 
Published: January 2016

El estudio se propuso con los objetivos de: (1) determinar cambios en valores antropométricos de madres costarricenses y de hijos e hijas en edad preescolar, después de una intervención educativa con material multimedia y (2) determinar diferencias significativas en el gasto energético (GET) de madres de familia al realizar actividad física cotidiana (AFC) y deportiva (AFD) luego del tratamiento. La intervención se aplicó por 8 semanas en 50 familias (madres e infantes preescolares) quienes completaron mediciones antropométricas; además, las madres reportaron sus hábitos de actividad física (AF). Se utilizó un diseño aleatorio de investigación con tres grupos de comparación, estadística de análisis de varianza. No se encontraron interacciones en ninguna de las variables analizadas. Únicamente se encontró diferencia significativa (p≤0.05) en el GET por AFC entre las madres que hacen y no hacen AFD. Las madres que hacen AFD obtuvieron un GET mayor al socializar y realizar tareas del hogar (p=0.038 y p=0.050; respectivamente). En general, las madres realizan 6.93 + 6.505 minutos diarios de AFD que correspondió a un GET de 0.14 + 0.249 METs. El GET por AFC de las madres fue de 39.29 METs diarios. La falta de tiempo y de compromiso fueron las principales limitaciones reportadas para realizar las AF durante el tratamiento. Será importante incluir, en las intervenciones, aspectos sobre modificación de conducta en la familia, específicamente, para crear la adherencia al ejercicio en los padres de familia.<br /><br />

ABSTRACT
Phase fluctuations introduced by the atmosphere are the main limiting factor in attaining diffraction limited performance in extended interferometric arrays at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. We report the results of C-PACS, the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy Paired Antenna Calibration System. We present a systematic study of several hundred test observations taken during the 2009–2010 winter observing season where we utilize CARMA's eight 3.5 m antennas to monitor an atmospheric calibrator while simultaneously acquiring science observations with 6.1 and 10.4 m antennas on baselines ranging from a few hundred meters to ∼2 km. We find that C-PACS is systematically successful at improving coherence on long baselines under a variety of atmospheric conditions. We find that the angular separation between the atmospheric calibrator and target source is the most important consideration, with consistently successful phase correction at CARMA requiring a suitable calibrator located ≲6° away from the science target. We show that cloud cover does not affect the success of C-PACS. We demonstrate C-PACS in typical use by applying it to the observations of the nearby very luminous infrared galaxy Arp 193 in 12CO(2-1) at a linear resolution of ≈70 pc (0.″12 × 0.″18), 3 times better than previously published molecular maps of this galaxy. We resolve the molecular disk rotation kinematics and the molecular gas distribution and measure the gas surface densities and masses on 90 pc scales. We find that molecular gas constitutes ∼30% of the dynamical mass in the inner 700 pc of this object with a surface density ∼104

A New Formula for the Energy of Bulk Superconductivity
Authors: Kachmar Ayman 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThe energy of a type II superconductor submitted to an external magnetic field of intensity close to the second critical field is given by the celebrated Abrikosov energy. If the external magnetic field is comparable to and below the second critical field, the energy is given by a reference function obtained as a special (thermodynamic) limit of a non-linear energy. In this note, we give a new formula for this reference energy. In particular, we obtain it as a special limit of a linear energy defined over configurations normalized in the L4-norm.
Black Power and the Big Green: Dartmouth College and the Black Freedom Movement, 1945-75
Authors: Bradley Stefan M. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
This essay examines the intersection between traditional white American institutions and the need for Black advancement. The case of Dartmouth College from 1945 to 1975 highlights the expanse of the struggle for Black freedom as the burgeoning civil rights and Black Power movements assisted educational institutions with their approach to opportunities for Black students. The socioeconomically elite and geographically isolated colonial college in Hanover, New Hampshire, struggled with attracting Black students and creating resources that helped them acclimate to the starkly white environment. Without the assistance of a local Black community or access to famous activists to act on their behalf, Black students worked together to help the college acknowledge its role in modern society. In doing so, they practiced Black student power, leveraging their status as students in institutions of higher education to act on behalf of the larger Black freedom movement. Dartmouth students benefited from the militant activism of peers at other Ivy institutions that sometimes involved building takeovers and the threat of violence. In addition, they took advantage of the unusual access that they had with the trustees of the college to seize the historical moment by pressuring the institution to evolve with regard to its policies. As a result of their negotiations and vigilance, students at Dartmouth achieved their goals of increased Black enrollment, a Black studies program, and a Black cultural space. Moreover, they showed the nuance and effectiveness of the civil rights and Black Power movements when youth took the lead.
Pour la fête de notre séraphique mère sainte Thérèse: A Teresian Celebration in Verse, and a Concise View of French Carmelite Poetry
Authors: Hanna Daniel 
Published: January 2016

Abstract – “Pour la fête de notre séraphique mère sainte Thérèse” This article commemorating the 500th anniversary of the birth of Teresa of Avila has two purposes: one, the presentation and analysis of a newly discovered poem composed in honor or Teresa of Avila in the French Carmelite convent of Saint-Denis (Paris) and two, a brief overview of recent scholarly work on French Carmelite poetry. It is proposed in the article that the poems of Teresa of Avila, not always considered important in their own right, should be re-considered and re-contextualized as foundational texts in a long tradition of Carmelite poetry that is both international and multilingual. Key words: Teresa of Avila, poetry, Spain, France, manuscripts
«Cual doctora en cielo graduada... ». La poesia femenina per als certàmens literaris amb motiu de la beatificació i canonització de Teresa de Jesús (València, 1614 i 1621; Barcelona, 1614)
Authors: Zaragoza Gómez Verònica 
Published: January 2016

Resum: L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és examinar les composicions poètiques aportades per dones als tres certàmens celebrats a València i Barcelona, amb motiu de la beatificació (1614) i posterior canonització (1622) de Teresa de Jesús; dos moments clau per a la consolidació de la fama de la carmelitana avilesa que van possibilitar l’exhibició pública i impressió de poesia femenina. Analitzem també la participació femenina catalana al certamen celebrat a Saragossa el 1614 per la beatificació. L’estudi està enfocat des d’una perspectiva femenina, a través de la revisió de dihuit poesies amb signatura de dones que ens han transmès les extenses relacions impreses. Al llarg del comentari dels poemes, analitzem la percepció general que aquestes dones tenen de Teresa de Jesús y ens centrem en algunes de les imatges tòpiques sobre la vida i l’obra de la fundadora. Incidim en la documentació biogràfica de les autores, setze poetes ‘de circumstàncies’ conegudes tan sols per un nom i cognom(s) estampats a la rúbrica. A més, proporcionem unes breus pinzellades sobre la recepció femenina de la figura de la carmelita avilesa a l’àmbit lingüístic català. Paraules clau: poesia femenina; poesia de certamen; festes barroques; Teresa de Jesús Abstract: Keywords:

AimsTo investigate the relationship between pontine lesion characteristics on MRI and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsWe performed a prospective cohort study of patients with MS and LUTS who were undergoing brain/spine MRI. Patients were administered the American Urological Association Symptom Score (AUA‐SS), Medical, Epidemiologic, and Social Aspects of Aging questionnaire (MESA), and Urogenital Distress Inventory questionnaire (UDI‐6), underwent Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scoring by a neurologist, and had their MRIs reviewed by a neuroradiologist. The relationships between symptom scores and lesion number, size, and location were analyzed.ResultsThere were 42 patients that completed the study and 20 (48%) had one or more pontine lesions. Total AUA‐SS and UDI‐6 were related to multiple Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36) scales and not EDSS scoring. Weak urinary stream measured on the AUA‐SS (P = 0.028), and urgency incontinence measured on the MESA questionnaire (P = 0.034) were related to pontine lesion diameter. There was no difference in urinary symptoms according to the presence or absence of a pontine lesion, or according to lesion location within the pons.ConclusionsPontine lesion size appears to be related to lower urinary tract symptoms (weak stream and urgency incontinence) in patients with MS. Therefore, CNS lesion characteristics may be able to phenotype voiding symptoms in patients with MS. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:453–456, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Pride and protein
Authors: Stern William 
Published: January 2016

AbstractObjectiveIn Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, members of the Bennet family are either sensible or silly, and males are under‐represented. This study searches for an underlying medical diagnosis that explains these features.DesignVery retrospective literature review.ParticipantsMrs Bennet, her five daughters (Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia), her brother (Mr Gardiner) and her sister (Mrs Phillips).Main outcome measuresFamily tree and associated phenotypesMethodsThe author read Pride and Prejudice. A Bennet family tree was constructed. The number of male and female descendants was analysed using a binomial model. For each character, evidence of behaviour was collected, and members of the Bennet family were categorised as either sensible or silly.ResultsMales are under‐represented in Mrs Bennet's family. Assuming an equal probability of male or female offspring, this reaches statistical significance (binomial model, P = 0.03). Approximately 50 % of females in the family are silly. Silly behaviour is more prevalent during social gatherings.ConclusionsThe family tree suggests an X‐linked genetic disorder, fatal in utero or in early life to affected males, explaining the paucity of male offspring. Female carriers survive, but with cognitive difficulties, explaining the approximate 50‐50 distribution of sensible and silly females in the family. The exacerbation of silliness during social gatherings may suggest an effect of protein intake, raising suspicions of a disorder of protein metabolism. Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is one such condition. Unfortunately, there remain significant challenges in performing genetic testing on fictional characters, so definitive evidence remains elusive. Jane and Elizabeth Bennet do not show signs of the disorder. However, carriers may be asymptomatic; they should be offered genetic counselling before Bingley or Darcy offspring are considered.
Social representations, ageing and memory: a holistic approach to cognitive assessment
Authors: DRYJANSKA LAURA , AIELLO STEFANIA , GIUA MARZIA 
Published: January 2016

ABSTRACTThis paper examines how contextual (conversational) aspects and socially shared meanings might affect the participants' performance on a standardised memory test using the theoretical framework of social representations. A total of 97 members of centres for older adults located in Rome, Italy participated in a screening using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test. Prior to testing, a group of volunteers had organised a performance focused on events from the distant past, stimulating intergenerational reminiscence. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. In the first case, prior to administering the test, a psychotherapist talked to each participant about the performance, focusing on ageing and stressing the neutral aspects of its social representations, such as change and time. In the second case, performance was used to concentrate on positive aspects of the social representations of ageing, namely wisdom and experience. In line with the hypothesis, focusing on positive aspects of social representations of ageing (wisdom and experience) versus their neutral aspects (change and time) has resulted in improved performance on a standardised memory test. Practitioners (psychotherapists – experts in psycho-diagnostics) who administered the tests have been involved in the co-construction of the meaning of ageing, discussing a real-life situation: the common experience of intergenerational activity that involved the participants' memories of their urban environment.
