Novel Application of HDlive Silhouette and HDliveFlow: Clinical Significance of the ‘See-through Fashion’ in Prenatal Diagnosis
Authors: Pooh Ritsuko K 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTOwing to prenatal ultrasound technology, there has been an immense acceleration in understanding of early human development. Recent advanced three-dimensional (3D) technology has produced exciting new applications of high-definition live (HDlive) silhouette and HDliveFlow imaging.By HDlive silhouette mode, an inner cystic structure with fluid collection can be depicted through the outer surface structure of the body and it can be appropriately named as see-through fashion’. Additionally, HDlive silhouette can depict hyperechoic structures, such as bones because skeletal system is demonstrated by ultrasound as conspicuously echogenic organs.HDliveFlow imaging adds more spatial resolution to conventional 3D ultrasound angiogram. HDliveFlow imaging demonstrates fine peripheral blood vessels, such as vascularity of the lung, brain and eyeballs. HDliveFlow combined with silhouette mode demonstrates the accurate location of vascularity inside organs. Simultaneous visualization of both structure and vascularity is quite comprehensive and may add further clinical information of vascularization.Thus, ‘see-through fashion’ imaging technology provides us comprehensive orientation and persuasive localization of inner morphological structure as well as of angiostructure inside the fetal organs. HDlive silhouette and flow imaging add further clinical significance to conventional three/four-dimensional (3D/4D) imaging in fields of sonoembryology and neurosonology, and may open up a new field of sono-ophthalmology. Owing to novel applications with clinical significance, fetal ultrasound is at present noninvasive, direct-viewing of the embryo/fetus, and all-inclusive technology, and is definitely the first modality of prenatal diagnosis with infinite potential.How to cite this articlePooh RK.

Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
To evaluate the effect of parity on fetal behavior between primi- and multiparas.

Materials and methods
Fetal behavior was assesed by Kurjak's antenatal neurodevelopmental test (KANET) using four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound between 32 and 36 weeks of gestation. Forty-four primiparous and 61 multiparous women were studied. The total value of the KANET score and values of each parameter (8 parameters) were compared

Results
The total KANET score was normal in both groups except for in only one case in the multiparous group (total KANET score of 9), and there was no significant difference in the total KANET score. When individual KANET parameters were compared, we found a significant difference in only one fetal movement, isolated eye blinking, between fetuses of primiparas (median, 2; range, 0–2) and multiparas (median, 1; range, 0–2) (p < 0.040). No significant differences were noted in the other seven parameters.

Conclusion
Our results suggest that the level of relaxation of pregnant women may affect fetal behavior, particularly the rate of eye blinking. A relaxed state of primiparas may promote the maturation of the fetal brain, especially the central dopamine system function

Assessment of Knowledge, Perception, Attitude, and Practices of Expectant and Lactating Mothers regarding their own as well as their Infants’ Oral Health in Qassim Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Sedky Nabila Ahmed 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT

Objectives
Assessing knowledge, perception, attitude, and practices of pregnant/lactating mothers concerning their own and their infants’ oral health in relation to their oral health status and educational level.

Materials and Methods
Anonymous self-administered questionnaire, 317 completed it, response rate = 90.57%. It constituted sections for demography, evaluating oral health knowledge during pregnancy/postpartum, saliva-sharing behavior of mother with baby, infant-feeding practices, and perception of oral health knowledge and attitudes. Oral health condition was measured using decayed, missing, and filling, papillary, marginal, and attached gingiva, and simplified oral hygiene indices. Four scores were constructed from participants’ responses to interpret results.

Results
Fair oral hygiene, moderate gingivitis, and caries index was the oral health status, with negative correlation with educational level. About 66.88% had poor perception and practices toward their oral health during pregnancy, with significant difference and negative correlation with oral health status. Significant difference (P<0.001) & positive correlation was detected regarding knowledge about causes of oral/ dental problems and oral health attitude in relation to level of education with 58.68% poor knowledge and negative attitude. Above three quarters had poor knowledge and practices and negative attitude for their infants’ oral health, with significant result and positive correlation with educational level. Poor perception (54.26%) was recorded regarding causes of oral/ dental diseases, methods of tooth cleaning, and types and benefits of using toothpaste in relation to oral health status with a significant difference and negative correlation.

Conclusion
Data revealed that expectant and lactating mothers had poor knowledge, perception and practices, and negative attitude toward their oral health during pregnancy and postpartum as well as their children's oral health.

Large ensemble modeling of the last deglacial retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet: comparison of simple and advanced statistical techniques

Published: May 2016

Abstract. A 3-D hybrid ice-sheet model is applied to the last deglacial retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet over the last  ∼  20 000 yr. A large ensemble of 625 model runs is used to calibrate the model to modern and geologic data, including reconstructed grounding lines, relative sea-level records, elevation–age data and uplift rates, with an aggregate score computed for each run that measures overall model–data misfit. Two types of statistical methods are used to analyze the large-ensemble results: simple averaging weighted by the aggregate score, and more advanced Bayesian techniques involving Gaussian process-based emulation and calibration, and Markov chain Monte Carlo. The analyses provide sea-level-rise envelopes with well-defined parametric uncertainty bounds, but the simple averaging method only provides robust results with full-factorial parameter sampling in the large ensemble. Results for best-fit parameter ranges and envelopes of equivalent sea-level rise with the simple averaging method agree well with the more advanced techniques. Best-fit parameter ranges confirm earlier values expected from prior model tuning, including large basal sliding coefficients on modern ocean beds.

The modus operandi of jihadist networks
Jihadist networks have become a serious threat to Europe’s internal security and are therefore a policy priority. But what do we know about these networks and how should we counter them? This study focuses on the modus operandi of jihadist networks between 2000 and 2013 and gives an empirical insight in the organizational structures, activities, and involvement mechanisms of jihadist networks in the Netherlands. The data are derived from 28 police investigations, 51 interviews with police investigators, public prosecutors, lawyers, imams, and staff members from Asylum and Detention Centers. The findings show how jihadist networks have changed over the years and how this development has affected the way jihadists operate.

After the release. Observations and dilemmas in dealing with (former) detainees with a jihadist background
Over the last decades the number of people who have been detained on the suspicion of terrorism has significantly grown. This has resulted in an increased scholarly interest in the topic of prisons and terrorism. However, the main focus of academic research has been the period of incarceration. Especially the question whether terrorists should be isolated from other prisoners has received considerable scientific attention. What happens after their release still remains opaque. In this article some preliminary insights will be shared on particular aspects of the societal reintegration of former suspected terrorist detainees. It presents some of the obstacles, dilemmas and opportunities. These insights where obtained through semi-structured interviews with both professionals and former detainees with a jihadist background.
Radicale verliezers en de noodzaak tot ontschotten

Radical losers and the need for dismantling categories
Research into radicalization and terrorism assumes that violent individuals have political or religious intentions and motivations. However, what ‘political or religious motivations’ exactly are changes through time. A rigorous conceptual demarcation of ‘radicalization’ and ‘terrorism’ runs the risk of overlooking societal and political changes leading to a variety of violent outbursts that may have more in common than assumed at forehand. Hans Magnus Enzensberger’s concept of ‘the radical loser’ is used as an example of a broader conceptualization that can function as a category enabling interconnected and interdisciplinary research into different manifestations of violence, both in their differences and their similarities. Whether or not terrorists, school shooters and violent lone actors are fundamentally different categories should be a topic of academic enquiry instead of being taken for granted.

Published: May 2016

In this thesis we face the graphical document understanding problem by proposing several relational models for the complete interpretation of floor plans. Firstly, we introduce three different strategies on symbol detection for walls, doors and windows. Secondly, we present two relational strategies that tackle the problem of the visual context extraction. Finally, we construct a knowledge-based model consisting of an ontological definition of the domain and real data. All the resources used in this thesis are freely available for research purposes.

Revolutionen i Sæby
Authors: Mührmann-Lund Jørgen 
Published: May 2016

The revolution in Saeby In 1790, the citizens of the tiny town of Saeby in northern Jutland demanded a meeting at the Town Hall to confront the town bailiff about his abuse of power as chief of police, but the bailiff refused to obey any “self-made national assemblies”. In Denmark at the time, such examples of popular local unrest were often compared with the French Revolution. However, in later Danish historiography, these disturbances have been seen as “reactive” defences of traditional rights that do not carry the same historical significance as the bourgeois revolution in France, for example. Inspired by an interactional approach to popular unrest, this article argues that the Saeby citizens’ collective protest did indeed have some revolutionary traits: a micro-historical analysis of the conflict as a process shows that the unrest began as a reaction to enclosure and police reforms, and when the town bailiff was suspected of embezzlement, demands for democracy and more transparency grew. Descriptions of the bailiff’s rule as “despotic” show that the citizens of Saeby were inspired by contemporary ideals of democratic absolutism. Thus, the article concludes that popular local disturbances such as these should be seen as part of the revolutionary movement that was taking place elsewhere at that time.
Psychothérapie – Un encadrement nécessaire et légalement reconnu au Québec
Authors: Trudeau Jean-Bernard , Desjardins Pierre , Dion Alain 
Published: May 2016

Jusqu’à récemment, le Québec se distinguait par l’adoption d’une loi régissant l’exercice de la psychothérapie adoptée en 2009. Cette loi émerge de 30 ans d’efforts et de discussions interprofessionnelles, ayant abouti à un consensus d’un comité d’experts présidé par le Dr Jean-Bernard Trudeau, dans un rapport déposé en 2005. Dans ce témoignage, le Dr Jean-Bernard Trudeau, médecin généraliste, de même que deux collègues psychiatre et psychologue, ayant participé au comité d’experts ou plus récemment dans l’application de la loi no 21 au Québec, retracent les principales étapes et les points saillants de la régulation de la pratique de la psychothérapie découlant de ce consensus interprofessionnel et traduit dans la loi no 21. Ils retracent plus particulièrement les dernières dix années qui ont vu l’adoption de la loi no 21 en 2009, après deux commissions parlementaires à la suite du dépôt du rapport Trudeau. Ils soulignent ensuite comment la pratique de la psychothérapie est intégrée dans le système professionnel et soumise à un encadrement rigoureux. Ce dernier inclut une réglementation touchant l’obtention du titre de psychothérapeute et le maintien de la compétence ; un guide explicatif fait part des travaux continus interprofessionnels dans l’application de la loi et de la réglementation dans le secteur public et privé et produit par l’Office des professions du Québec. La définition obtenue par consensus de la psychothérapie ne la limite pas au traitement des troubles mentaux et tente de la distinguer d’autres interventions dans le champ des relations humaines. L’obligation de formation continue est encadrée d’une part par l’Ordre des psychologues pour les psychologues et autres professionnels exerçant la psychothérapie et d’autre part le Collège des médecins pour les médecins exerçant la psychothérapie. Ils décrivent enfin le Conseil consultatif interdisciplinaire sur l’exercice de la psychothérapie qu’a prévu le législateur comme mécanisme externe pour assurer la conformité de la réglementation avec l’esprit de la loi, et donner avis aux diverses professions.
Projections of climate change indices of temperature and precipitation from an ensemble of bias‐adjusted high‐resolution EURO‐CORDEX regional climate models
Authors: Dosio Alessandro 
Published: May 2016

AbstractStatistical bias‐adjustment of climate models' outputs is being increasingly used for assessing the impact of climate change on several sectors. It is known that these techniques may alter the mean climate signal of the adjusted variable; however, the effect on the projected occurrence of climate extremes is less commonly investigated. Here the outputs of an ensemble of high‐resolution (0.11°) regional climate models (RCM) from the Coordinated Regional‐climate Downscaling Experiment for Europe (EURO‐CORDEX) have been bias adjusted, and a number of climate indices from the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices have been calculated for the present (1981–2010) and future (2071–2100) climate. Indices include absolute‐thresholds indices, percentile‐based indices, and indices based on the duration of an event. Results show that absolute‐threshold indices are largely affected by bias adjustment, as they depend strongly on both the present mean climate value (usually largely biased in the original RCMs) and its shift under climate change. The change of percentile‐based indices is less affected by bias adjustment, as that of indices based on the duration of an event (e.g., consecutive dry days or heat waves) although the present climate value can differ between original and bias‐adjusted results. Indices like R95ptot (the total amount of precipitation larger than the 95th reference percentile) are largely affected by bias adjustment, although, when analyzing an ensemble of RCMs, the differences are usually smaller than, or comparable to, the intermodel variability.
Constraints on timing and magnitude of early global expansion of the Moon from topographic features in linear gravity anomaly areas
Authors: Sawada Natsuki , Morota Tomokatsu , Kato Shinsuke , Ishihara Yoshiaki , Hiramatsu Yoshihiro 
Published: May 2016

AbstractGravity data obtained from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory have revealed linear gravity anomalies (LGAs) formed by the early global expansion of the Moon and subsequent magma intrusion. In this study, using Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter topographic data, we investigated topographic profiles across LGAs to verify that they were formed by extensional tectonics. We found that 17 of the 20 LGAs investigated exhibited a valley structure, suggesting that they were formed by tensile stress. Assuming that these topographic depressions accompanied graben formation, the increase in the lunar radius is estimated to be on the order of several tens of meters. On the other hand, assuming that these topographic depressions accompanied flexure of elastic lithosphere due to the LGA load, the elastic thickness during the LGA formation is estimated as ~10 km. The crater frequencies in the vicinity of LGAs indicate that the peak tectonic activity occurred before the basin‐forming epoch.
Slow electrostatic solitary waves in Earth's plasma sheet boundary layer

Published: May 2016

AbstractWe modeled Cluster spacecraft observations of slow electrostatic solitary waves (SESWs) in the Earth's northern plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) region on the basis of nonlinear fluid theory and fluid simulation. Various plasma parameters observed by the Cluster satellite at the time of the SESWs were examined to investigate the generation process of the SESWs. The nonlinear fluid model shows the coexistence of slow and fast ion acoustic waves and the presence of electron acoustic waves in the PSBL region. The fluid simulations, performed to examine the evolution of these waves in the PSBL region, showed the presence of an extra mode along with the waves supported by the nonlinear fluid theory. This extra mode is identified as the Buneman mode, which is generated by relative drifts of ions and electrons. A detailed investigation of the characteristics of the SESWs reveals that the SESWs are slow ion acoustic solitary waves.
Characterization of Saturn's bow shock: Magnetic field observations of quasi‐perpendicular shocks
Authors: Sulaiman A. H. , Masters A. , Dougherty M. K. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractCollisionless shocks vary drastically from terrestrial to astrophysical regimes resulting in radically different characteristics. This poses two complexities. First, separating the influences of these parameters on physical mechanisms such as energy dissipation. Second, correlating observations of shock waves over a wide range of each parameter, enough to span across different regimes. Investigating the latter has been restricted since the majority of studies on shocks at exotic regimes (such as supernova remnants) have been achieved either remotely or via simulations, but rarely by means of in situ observations. Here we present the parameter space of MA bow shock crossings from 2004 to 2014 as observed by the Cassini spacecraft. We find that Saturn's bow shock exhibits characteristics akin to both terrestrial and astrophysical regimes (MA of order 100), which is principally controlled by the upstream magnetic field strength. Moreover, we determined the θBn of each crossing to show that Saturn's (dayside) bow shock is predominantly quasi‐perpendicular by virtue of the Parker spiral at 10 AU. Our results suggest a strong dependence on MA in controlling the onset of physical mechanisms in collisionless shocks, particularly nontime stationarity and variability. We anticipate that our comprehensive assessment will yield deeper insight into high MA collisionless shocks and provide a broader scope for understanding the structures and mechanisms of collisionless shocks.
