ObjectiveTo determine the relationship between severity of injury and self‐reports and parent reports of daytime somnolence in adolescents after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to determine the relationship between daytime somnolence and self‐report and parent report of executive functioning in daily life.DesignCross‐sectional study conducted within the first 6 months (mean ± standard deviation 14.97 ± 7.51 weeks) after injury. Partial correlation controlling for injury severity was used to examine the associations of TBI severity with daytime somnolence and the association of daytime somnolence with executive functioning.SettingOutpatient visits at 3 children's hospitals and 2 general hospitals with pediatric trauma commitment.ParticipantsA total of 102 adolescents, 12‐18 years old, who sustained moderate‐to‐severe TBI (n = 60) or complicated mild TBI (n = 42).Main Outcome MeasurementsParent‐report Sleepiness Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (youth report), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) (self‐report and maternal report).ResultsAdolescents who sustained moderate‐to‐severe TBI had increased daytime somnolence compared with those with complicated mild injuries in the parent report but not in the youth report. Based on the parent report, 51% of adolescents with moderate‐to‐severe TBI showed significant daytime somnolence compared with 22% of those with complicated mild TBI. The parent report of daytime somnolence was associated with executive dysfunction on both the BRIEF self‐report and parent report; however, the youth report of daytime somnolence was associated only with the BRIEF self‐report.ConclusionsThe parent report of daytime somnolence correlated with TBI severity and predicted executive functioning difficulties of the teens in everyday circumstances. Although a correlation between daytime somnolence and executive dysfunction were also apparent on self‐report, this did not differ based on injury severity. Teens tended to report fewer difficulties with executive function, which suggests that the teens have decreased awareness of their impairments.

ObjectiveTo describe the early results of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) screening program for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to identify patient and facility characteristics associated with receiving a TBI screen and results of the screening.DesignNational retrospective cohort study.SettingVA Medical facilities.PatientsA total of 170,681 Operation Enduring Freedom and/or Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veterans who sought care at VA medical facilities from April 2007 to September 30, 2008.MethodsData were abstracted from VA administrative and operational databases, including patient demographics, facility characteristics, and outcomes.Main Outcome MeasurementsThe main outcomes were receipt of and results of the TBI screen.ResultsThe majority of veterans eligible received the TBI screen (91.6%). Screening rates varied by patient and facility characteristics. In all, 25% of screened veterans had probable TBI exposure, in which the majority of the exposures were blasts (85.0%). The rate of a positive TBI screen was 20.5% for the screened cohort. Male gender, service in the army, multiple deployments, and mental health diagnoses in the previous year were associated with a positive screen.ConclusionsTBI screening rates are high in VA; concomitant mental health diagnoses were highly prevalent in individuals with positive TBI screens. These data indicate that there will be a significant need for long‐term health care services for veterans with TBI symptomatology.
Re-referral for Complex Child Abuse and Neglect Concerns: The Influence of Family and Child Factors in a 25 Year Data Set
Authors: Kaltner Melissa 
Published: January 2013

ObjectiveThe study reviewed a 25-year dataset of child abuse and neglect concerns, examining child and family factors associated with re-referral.MethodsSuspected child abuse and neglect data collated from a variety of sources including child protection, health, police and education by a multidisciplinary Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect team for the 25-year period of 1980 to 2005 was entered for analysis. Case referral criteria for the team included clinician perception of the case as being complex and necessitating multidisciplinary case planning. The dataset contained 6669 cases of child abuse and neglect concerns, relating to 5943 unique children.ResultsThe majority of children (90.5%) experienced only one referral to the team, with the remaining experiencing between 2–6 referrals. Through the utilisation of regression analysis, the factors of number of abuse types present at the initial concern, parental abuse as a child, parental intellectual disability, parental history of violence, perpetrator of intrafamilial origin, disabled children in family, and financial stress in family were found to significantly predict complex case re-referral respectively.ConclusionsChildren within this Australian sample of complex cases experienced rates of re-referral similar to those reported internationally. Family and child factors identified as predictors of re-referral in this 25-year dataset support previous international studies on statutory child protection re-referral, and evidence for the association between previously unstudied variables and re-referral likelihood for complex cases.
THE ESSENCE OF EU CITIZENSHIP EMERGING FROM THE LAST TEN YEARS OF ACADEMIC DEBATE: BEYOND THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS AND THE MOON?
Authors: Kochenov Dimitry 
Published: January 2013

AbstractThis article scrutinizes the last ten years of the academic debate on EU citizenship law taking nine fundamental disagreements among scholars as starting points. It explores EU citizenship's relationship with three groups of issues of fundamental importance, including the place of this concept within the fabric of EU law, the influence of this concept on the essence of the Union as a system of multi-level governance, and its impact on the lives of ordinary Europeans. A large number of key works which influenced the Court and the legislator in the recent years is assessed to outline the likely direction of future research, as well as EU citizenship's future development. Although the literature on the subject is overwhelmingly rich and diverse, this article aspires to provide a representative sample of issues of interest for the framing of the concept at issue from a supranational perspective, necessarily leaving national literatures aside.

We consider the following equations involving negative exponent:where p > 0. Under optimal conditions on the parameters α > −2 and p > 0, we prove the non-existence of finite Morse index solution on exterior domains or near the origin. We also prove an optimal regularity result for solutions with finite Morse index and isolated rupture at 0.
Linguistique et école primaire: en quoi l'approche diglossique est-elle la meilleure façon d'apprendre le français ‘académique’?
Authors: BARRA-JOVER MARIO 
Published: January 2013

RÉSUMÉL'enseignement du français académique à l'école primaire est fondé sur un préjugé injustifié: l'élève de CP arriverait à l'école avec une forme précaire de parler qui n'est identifiable que par référence à son écart vis-à-vis de la forme académique écrite qui est l'objectif à atteindre. Autrement dit, on n'accorde pas au dispositif langagier qu'il a acquis naturellement le statut de ‘grammaire’ et on confond les traits émanant du processus naturel d'apprentissage, encore incomplet, avec les traits propres au français spontanée et qui persistent chez les adultes qui ont, par ailleurs, été la source de stimuli pour l'enfant. À ceci s'ajoute une deuxième confusion: l'apprentissage de la seule ‘vraie’ grammaire et l'apprentissage de l'écrit n'en font qu'un, puisque l'oral n'est qu'un reflet appauvri de l'écrit. Ainsi, par exemple, l'enfant devra ‘juste’ apprendre à écrire l'accord en genre, sans pour autant avoir reçu assez de stimuli pour intégrer dans sa grammaire naturelle le fonctionnement de l'accord.Dans cet article est proposé un programme qui, partant de l'hypothèse diglossique, cherche à établir une autre approche de l'apprentissage. La clé de cette approche est la bonne compréhension de la grammaire ‘de départ’ de l'enfant en tant qu'objet cohérent, de façon à faire la différence entre: a) les ‘anomalies’ qui vont évoluer spontanément dans le processus d'acquisition de la grammaire adulte indépendamment de l'apprentissage de la grammaire académique (par exemple, les formes analogiques comme le gent ou ouvri) ; b) les ‘anomalies’ par rapport à la grammaire académique qui vont persister dans la grammaire adulte (par exemple, les interrogatives comme c'est quoi ton problème ?) et qui ne doivent pas d'être stigmatisées mais placées dans un contexte d'interaction spécifique bien expliqué ; c) les traits de la grammaire académique qui ne pourront pas être intégrés dans la grammaire adulte de façon naturelle ou par simple pénalisation mais moyennant l'explicitation de règles et dont l'ignorance empêche l'accès actif à la grammaire académique (par exemple, l'accord en genre et nombre ou le sujet lexical sans dédoublement pronominal ; d) les traits de la grammaire académique soutenue qui ne peuvent pas être acquis sans un entraînement à un niveau supérieur et qui ne sont pas décisifs pour avoir un accès actif à cette grammaire (par exemple, le passé simple, la plupart des interrogatives à inversion et, surtout, l'imparfait de subjonctif).Seulement une bonne conscience de l'existence de ces classes permettra de bâtir des programmes ciblant les aspects sur lesquels l'enseignant doit intervenir normativement ainsi que les stratégies pour le faire. C'est ainsi que le français académique sera perçu (et apprécie) comme une deuxième grammaire essentielle pour l'insertion sociale et non pas comme le vrai français.

Abstract
Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world and it is generally believed that it promotes beneficial effects on cognitive performance. However, there is also evidence suggesting that caffeine has inhibitory effects on learning and memory. Considering that caffeine may have anxiogenic effects, thus changing the emotional state of the subjects, state-dependent learning may play a role in caffeine-induced cognitive alterations. Mice were administered 20 mg/kg caffeine before training and/or before testing both in the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task (an animal model that concomitantly evaluates learning, memory, anxiety-like behaviour and general activity) and in the inhibitory avoidance task, a classic paradigm for evaluating memory in rodents. Pre-training caffeine administration did not modify learning, but produced an anxiogenic effect and impaired memory retention. While pre-test administration of caffeine did not modify retrieval on its own, the pre-test administration counteracted the memory deficit induced by the pre-training caffeine injection in both the plus-maze discriminative and inhibitory avoidance tasks. Our data demonstrate that caffeine-induced memory deficits are critically related to state-dependent learning, reinforcing the importance of considering the participation of state-dependency on the interpretation of the cognitive effects of caffeine. The possible participation of caffeine-induced anxiety alterations in state-dependent memory deficits is discussed.
Review of Antarctic astronomy
Authors: Storey John W. V. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractAstronomers have always sought the best sites for their telescopes. Antarctica, with its high plateau reaching to above 4,000 metres, intense cold, exceptionally low humidity and stable atmosphere, offers what for many forms of astronomy is the ultimate observing location on this planet. While optical, infrared and millimetre astronomers are building their observatories on the ice, particle physicists are using the ice itself as a detector and exploration of the terahertz region is being conducted from circumpolar long-duration balloons. Remarkable astronomical discoveries are already coming out of Antarctica, and much, much more is just around the corner.
Autonomous observatories for the Antarctic plateau

Published: January 2013

AbstractAntarctic astronomical site-testing has been conducted using autonomous self-powered observatories for more than a decade (the AASTO at South Pole, the AASTINO at Dome C, and PLATO at Dome A/Dome F). More recently autonomous (PLATO) observatories have been developed and deployed to support small-scale scientific instruments, such as HEAT, a 0.6 m aperture terahertz telescope at Ridge A, and AST3, a 0.5 m optical telescope array at Dome A. This paper reviews the evolution of autonomous Antarctic astronomical observatories, and discusses the requirements and implications for observatories that will be needed for future larger-scale facilities.

AbstractHRCAM (High Resolution CAMera) is a Canon 50D 15-megapixel digital SLR camera equipped with a Sigma 4.5 mm f/2.8 fish-eye lens. It was installed at Dome A on the Antarctic plateau in January 2010 and photographs the sky every 15 minutes. Primarily functioning as a site-testing instrument, data obtained from HRCAM provide valuable statistics on cloud cover, sky transparency and the distribution and frequency of auroral activity. We present a first look at data from HRCAM during 2010, including an overview of how we intend to reduce the images. We also demonstrate the potential of stellar photometry by using linear combinations of the in-built Canon RGB filters to convert instrumental magnitudes into the photometric BVR bands.
The Path from AMANDA to IceCube

AbstractIn May 2011, IceCube, a neutrino telescope with one cubic kilometer instrumented volume started full operation with 5,160 sensors. The plan to build an experiment of this scale was based in part on the successful realization of a prototype experiment, the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array. Here, we will review some of the major challenges and milestones.
Submillimeter Astronomy from the South Pole (AST/RO)
Authors: Stark Antony A. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractThe Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO), a 1.7 m diameter offset Gregorian telescope for astronomy and aeronomy studies at wavelengths between 200 and 2000 μm, saw first light in 1995 and operated until 2005. It was the first radio telescope to operate continuously throughout the winter on the Antarctic Plateau. It served as a site testing instrument and prototype for later instruments, as well as executing a wide variety of scientific programs that resulted in six doctoral theses and more than one hundred scientific publications. The South Pole environment is unique among observatory sites for unusually low wind speeds, low absolute humidity, and the consistent clarity of the submillimeter sky. Especially significant are the exceptionally low values of sky noise found at this site, a result of the small water vapor content of the atmosphere. Multiple submillimeter-wave and Terahertz detector systems were in operation on AST/RO, including heterodyne and bolometric arrays. AST/RO's legacy includes comprehensive submillimeter-wave site testing of the South Pole, spectroscopic studies of 492 GHz and 809 GHz neutral atomic carbon and 460 GHz and 806 GHz carbon monoxide in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, and the first detection of the 1.46 THz [N II] line from a ground-based observatory.
Dome Fuji Station in East Antarctica and the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition
Authors: Shiraishi Kazuyuki 
Published: January 2013

AbstractJapanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) commenced on the occasion of International Geophysical Year in 1957–1958. Syowa Station, the primary station for JARE operations, is located along the northeastern coastal region of Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica (69° 00′S, 39° 35′E), and was opened on 29 January 1957. Since then, JARE have been carrying out research in various fields of earth and planetary sciences and life science. Astronomical science, however, has not been popular in Antarctica. In 1995, JARE established a new inland station, Dome Fuji Station (77° 19′S, 39° 42′E), which, at 3,810 m a.s.l., is located on one of major domes of the Antarctic ice sheet, some 1,000 km south of Syowa. The climatic conditions at Dome Fuji are harsh, with an annual average air temperature of −54°C, and a recorded minimum of −79°C. In 2007, JARE completed scientific drilling to obtain ice core samples of the Antarctic ice sheet reaching 3,050 m in depth. These ice cores record environmental conditions of the earth extending back some 720,000 B.P. In recent years, it is widely known that the high-altitude environment of inland Antarctica is suitable for astronomical observations and the Japanese astronomy community identified Dome Fuji Station as a potential candidate for a future astronomical observatory. In this article, the history of Japanese Antarctic activities are described in terms of access to the inland plateau of the Antarctic continent. The general scheme and future plans of science objectives and logistics of JARE will also be introduced.

Published: January 2013

AbstractDome Fuji on the Antarctic high plateau may be a good site for terahertz astronomy because of its high altitude of 3,810 m and low average temperature of −54°C. We have demonstrated that the opacity at 220 GHz from Dome Fuji in summer is very good and stable; τ = 0.045 ± 0.007. We have developed a transportable 30 cm telescope to map the Milky Way in the CO (J=4–3) and the [CI] (3P1–3P0) lines at Dome Fuji from 2014. It has a 9′ beam. Physical conditions such as density and temperature of molecular clouds could be derived from a direct comparison of CO (J=4–3) and [CI] (3P1–3P0) with CO (J=1–0) taken by the Columbia–CfA survey. We are also developing a 1.2 m sub-millimeter telescope. It will be equipped with a dual superconducting device (SIS) receiver for 500/800 GHz. The 1.2 m telescope produces a 2.2′ beam at 492 GHz and could map a molecular cloud entirely. It could also observe nearby galaxies in the CO (J=4–3), CO (J=7–6), [CI] (3P1–3P0), [CI] (3P2–3P1) and in continuum emission between 460–810 GHz.

AbstractWhile the summit of the Antarctic Plateau has long been expected to harbor the best ground-based sites for terahertz (THz) frequency astronomical investigations, it is only recently that direct observations of exceptional THz atmospheric transmission and stability have been obtained. These observations, in combination with recent technological advancements in astronomical instrumentation and autonomous field platforms, make the recognition and realization of terahertz observatories on the high plateau feasible and timely. Here, we will explore the context of terahertz astronomy in the era of Herschel, and the crucial role that observatories on the Antarctic Plateau can play. We explore the important scientific questions to which observations from this unique environment may be most productively applied. We examine the importance and complementarity of Antarctic THz astronomy in the light of contemporary facilities such as ALMA, CCAT, SOFIA and (U)LDB ballooning. Finally, building from the roots of THz facilities in Antarctica to present efforts, we broadly highlight future facilities that will exploit the unique advantages of the Polar Plateau and provide a meaningful, lasting astrophysical legacy.
Optical Interferometry from the Antarctic
Authors: Tuthill Peter 
Published: January 2013

AbstractThe unique atmospheric conditions which pertain in the high Antarctic plateau offer dramatic gains for many areas of Astrophysics. Optical Interferometry is among the most technologically demanding branches of modern instrumentation, and furthermore, is one which is most strongly limited by the stability of the atmosphere at the observatory site. The long-term potential for spectacular gains by implementing an interferometer on the high Antarctic plateau are presented.
