Authors: Purkayastha S. , Biswas R. , Jai Ganesh A.U. , Price A. , Otero P. 
Published: June 2015

Summary
Objective: To share how an effectual merging of local and online networks in low resource regions can supplement and strengthen the local practice of patient centered care through the use of an online digital infrastructure powered by all stakeholders in healthcare. User Driven Health Care offers the dynamic integration of patient values and evidence based solutions for improved medical communication in medical care.
Introduction: This paper conceptualizes patient care-coordination through the lens of engaged stakeholders using digital infrastructures tools to integrate information technology. We distinguish this lens from the prevalent conceptualization of dyadic ties between clinician-patient, patient-nurse, clinician-nurse, and offer the holistic integration of all stakeholder inputs, in the clinic and augmented by online communication in a multi-national setting.
Methods: We analyze an instance of the user-driven health care (UDHC), a network of providers, patients, students and researchers working together to help manage patient care. The network currently focuses on patients from LMICs, but the provider network is global in reach. We describe UDHC and its opportunities and challenges in care-coordination to reduce costs, bring equity, and improve care quality and share evidence.
Conclusion: UDHC has resulted in coordinated global based local care, affecting multiple facets of medical practice. Shared information resources between providers with disparate knowledge, results in better understanding by patients, unique and challenging cases for students, innovative community based research and discovery learning for all.
Does Informatics Enable or Inhibit the Delivery of Patient-centred, Coordinated, and Quality-assured Care: a Delphi Study

Published: June 2015

Summary
Background: Primary care delivers patient-centred and coordinated care, which should be quality-assured. Much of family practice now routinely uses computerised medical record (CMR) systems, these systems being linked at varying levels to laboratories and other care providers. CMR systems have the potential to support care.
Objective: To achieve a consensus among an international panel of health care professionals and informatics experts about the role of informatics in the delivery of patient-centred, coordinated, and quality-assured care.Method: The consensus building exercise involved 20 individuals, five general practitioners and 15 informatics academics, members of the International Medical Informatics Association Primary Care Informatics Working Group. A thematic analysis of the literature was carried out according to the defined themes. Results:The first round of the analysis developed 27 statements on how the CMR, or any other information system, including paper-based medical records, supports care delivery. Round 2 aimed at achieving a consensus about the statements of round one. Round 3 stated that there was an agreement on informatics principles and structures that should be put in place. However, there was a disagreement about the processes involved in the implementation, and about the clinical interaction with the systems after the implementation.
Conclusions: The panel had a strong agreement about the core concepts and structures that should be put in place to support high quality care. However, this agreement evaporated over statements related to implementation. These findings reflect literature and personal experiences: whilst there is consensus about how informatics structures and processes support good quality care, implementation is difficult.

Summary
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the second most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Altered circulating gut hormones have been suggested to contribute post-operatively to appetite suppression, decreased caloric intake and weight reduction. In the present study, we report a 22-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic SG for obesity (BMI 46 kg/m2). Post-operatively, she reported marked appetite reduction, which resulted in excessive weight loss (1-year post-SG: BMI 22 kg/m2, weight loss 52%, >99th centile of 1-year percentage of weight loss from 453 SG patients). Gastrointestinal (GI) imaging, GI physiology/motility studies and endoscopy revealed no anatomical cause for her symptoms, and psychological assessments excluded an eating disorder. Despite nutritional supplements and anti-emetics, her weight loss continued (BMI 19 kg/m2), and she required nasogastric feeding. A random gut hormone assessment revealed high plasma peptide YY (PYY) levels. She underwent a 3 h meal study following an overnight fast to assess her subjective appetite and circulating gut hormone levels. Her fasted nausea scores were high, with low hunger, and these worsened with nutrient ingestion. Compared to ten other post-SG female patients, her fasted circulating PYY and nutrient-stimulated PYY and active glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) levels were markedly elevated. Octreotide treatment was associated with suppressed circulating PYY and GLP1 levels, increased appetite, increased caloric intake and weight gain (BMI 22 kg/m2 after 6 months). The present case highlights the value of measuring gut hormones in patients following bariatric surgery who present with anorexia and excessive weight loss and suggests that octreotide treatment can produce symptomatic relief and weight regain in this setting.

Learning points

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and SG produce marked sustained weight reduction. However, there is a marked individual variability in this reduction, and post-operative weight loss follows a normal distribution with extremes of ‘good’ and ‘poor’ response.

Profound anorexia and excessive weight loss post-SG may be associated with markedly elevated circulating fasted PYY and post-meal PYY and GLP1 levels.

Octreotide treatment can produce symptomatic relief and weight regain for post-SG patients that have an extreme anorectic and weight loss response.

The present case highlights the value of measuring circulating gut hormone levels in patients with post-operative anorexia and extreme weight loss.
Effects of Physician-Based Preventive Oral Health Services on Dental Caries
Authors: Kranz Ashley M. , Preisser John S. , Rozier R. Gary 
Published: June 2015

BACKGROUND:
Most Medicaid programs reimburse nondental providers for preventive dental services. We estimate the impact of comprehensive preventive oral health services (POHS) on dental caries among kindergarten students, hypothesizing improved oral health among students with medical visits with POHS.

METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective study in 29 173 kindergarten students by linking Medicaid claims (1999–2006) with public health surveillance data (2005–2006). Zero-inflated regression models estimated the association between number of visits with POHS and (1) decayed, missing, and filled primary teeth (dmft) and (2) untreated decayed teeth while adjusting for confounding.

RESULTS:
Kindergarten students with ≥4 POHS visits averaged an adjusted 1.82 dmft (95% confidence interval: 1.55 to 2.09), which was significantly less than students with 0 visits (2.21 dmft; 95% confidence interval: 2.16 to 2.25). The mean number of untreated decayed teeth was not reduced for students with ≥4 POHS visits compared with those with 0 visits.

CONCLUSIONS:
POHS provided by nondental providers in medical settings were associated with a reduction in caries experience in young children but were not associated with improvement in subsequent use of treatment services in dental settings. Efforts to promote oral health in medical settings should continue. Strategies to promote physician-dentist collaborations are needed to improve continuity of care for children receiving dental services in medical settings.

<p>La llegada a Colombia de la orden de los Hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas de La Salle, en el marco del proceso de modernización de la educación, se da en el contexto de la hegemonía conservadora y la influencia de la iglesia católica en la educación, lo que tiene condiciona significativamente la formación escolar en diversas disciplinas científicas: gramática, matemáticas, cálculo, geometría, biología, zoología. La enseñanza de la aritmética como disciplina, en el caso de la pedagogía lasaliana, permite ilustrar la pedagogía “sistemática” y “racional” caracterizada por su fundamento metódico. Para demostrar los aspectos enunciados se escogió un corpus de dieciocho libros de aritmética de ediciones G.M. Bruño publicados en el período 1900-1930, los cuales fueron sometidos a un análisis de contenido. </p>
Modernismo vernáculo e imaginación melodramática en Bajo el cielo antioqueño

Published: June 2015

<p>Este artículo se ocupa de la película <em>Bajo el cielo antioqueño</em>, dirigida por Arturo Acevedo Vallarino y estrenada en 1925. En primer lugar, se describen los esfuerzos colectivos de los sectores privilegiados de la ciudad de Medellín, que participaron como inversionistas y como actores. Luego se interpreta la apropiación que hace la película de lo que se podría denominar modernismo vernáculo a través de la matriz cultural del melodrama, matriz caracterizada por la intensidad y esquematización de los sentimientos, por el desenvolvimiento de la historia desde el desconocimiento hasta el reconocimiento, por la primacía de las relaciones familiares y de las fidelidades primordiales, y por la expresión del exceso emocional. Finalmente, se comentará su recepción, que estuvo marcada por el beneplácito ante la representación regional que esta película materializaba.</p>

ABSTRACTA photoexcitation energy transfer process in blends of PbS QDs of different size is considered. An analysis of photoluminescence kinetics shows drastic increase of acceptor decay times. In a triple blend a merger of photoluminescence decay curves recorded at different spectral regions is found. Different pathways of the energy transfer, including the transfer from the in-gap state, are considered.
MEMS Energy Harvesting from Low-frequency and Low-g Vibrations
Authors: Xu Ruize , Kim Sang-Gook 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTMEMS vibration energy harvesting has been investigated to provide energy to low-power micro-electronic systems and potentially to enable batteryless autonomous systems. While enjoying the small footprint hence the ability to be embedded in other systems, MEMS vibration energy harvesters are working at much higher frequencies and input vibration amplitudes. The mechanical resonator based energy harvesters seem inherently have such high frequency due to the scaling of the device dimension. Lower the working frequency range and input vibration amplitude are possible by optimizing the dimensions of the device. However, we are viewing the problem from a different perspective and proposing a solution based on employing the common material property of the micro-fabricated thin film – residual stress. We found that by taking advantage of the compressive residual stress, a bi-stable mechanical resonator could be built and a new spectrum of dynamics can be brought into energy harvesting, which could lower the working frequency range and input g value. The concepts have been analytically simulated and experimentally verified by a meso-scale model.
Visualization of Peanut Nodules and Seasonal Nodulation Pattern in Different Tillage Systems Using a Minirhizotron System

Published: June 2015

ABSTRACT
Nodulation is essential for providing the nitrogen (N) needs of peanut, but little is known about the time course of nodule development with soil depth in a field production system. A minirhizotron system allows for non-destructive, periodic digital imaging of identical locations in the crop root system in situ, including the associated nodules. Because the system allows imaging at the same location over time, individual nodule development and subsequent senescence can be followed throughout the growing season. To test the proof of concept for the use of a minirhizotron system to observe peanut nodule development, a case study was conducted in 2012 in Citra, FL in a sod-based production system managed with both conservation and conventional tillage at two different timings. Images were taken to a soil depth of 90 cm on four dates during the growing season, and nodule number, surface area, and senescence were determined. Most nodules occurred at depths spanning 5-30 cm with very few outside of this range; however, individual nodules were noted as deep as 90 cm. In this case study, tillage operation and timing had no impact on the total number of nodules produced, and the peak seasonal nodule number was formed relatively early in the season (9 July – 61 days after planting) and stayed constant until harvest. Nodule number varied by soil depth with the majority of nodules formed in the 0-20 cm depth. Nodule surface area was impacted by tillage type with conservation tillage treatments having larger nodule size (average 2.6 mm2) than nodules in conventional tillage (1.9 mm2). Maximum nodule surface area was achieved by mid-season on 1 August. This study gave a unique visual assessment of nodule development for field grown peanut over time and provided data that has rarely been reported. In addition, this study also illustrated that the minirhizotron technique could be successfully utilized in studies examining the development of nodules in peanut and would likely be applicable for similar studies in other legume crops.

ABSTRACTReduced-tillage peanut production is increasing due to reduced production costs and increased environmental and economic benefits compared to conventional systems. Experiments were conducted in Alabama and Georgia between 2005 and 2007 to evaluate a strip-tillage system utilizing a high-residue cereal rye cover crop, in comparison to a conventional tillage system. Six weed management schemes were evaluated including a preemergence (PRE) application of pendimethalin alone at 1.12 kg ai/ha or in combination with S-metolachlor at 1.36 kg ai/ha. Both PRE applications were applied alone or followed by (fb) a postemergence (POST) application consisting of a mixture of paraquat at 0.140 kg ai/ha plus bentazon at 0.56 kg ai/ha plus 2,4-DB at 0.224 kg ae/ha. The remaining two treatments consisted of a no-herbicide control and aforementioned POST-only application. In 2005 at the Alabama location, pendimethalin plus metolachlor with or without a POST application controlled all weeds &gt;91% in the strip tillage treatment and controlled tall morningglory, yellow nutsedge, and common bermudagrass &gt;83% in the conventional tillage system. Pendimethalin fb a POST application controlled all weeds &gt; 97%, except large crabgrass (75%) and common bermudagrass (≤ 58%) regardless of tillage system. In 2007, pendimethalin and pendimethalin plus S-metolachlor followed by (fb) a POST application controlled smooth pigweed, tall morningglory, large crabgrass, Florida beggarweed, and sicklepod 70 to 99%, across tillage systems. In 2005 at the Georgia location, large crabgrass control was consistently reduced in strip-tillage compared to conventional tillage regardless of herbicide treatment. In 2006, pendimethalin plus S-metolachlor fb POST controlled common bermudagrass and yellow nutsedge 74 to 99%. Herbicide treatment effect on peanut yield varied with environment. Peanut yield was equivalent or greater by 25% or more in 3 of 4 site years utilizing strip-tillage indicating a yield advantage compared to conventional tillage. Peanut market grade was not affected by any herbicide treatments or tillage methods evaluated. Results show that producers can maintain weed control, equivalent grade and yield in reduced-tillage systems when utilizing a high-residue conservation agriculture system integrated with a PRE plus POST herbicide system.
Effect of low doses of bezafibrate and fenofibrate on liver 2-oxo-glutarate dehydrogenase complex in low-protein diet fed rats
Authors: Knapik-Czajka Malgorzata Elzbieta 
Published: June 2015

<p>Multienzyme 2-oxoglutarate complex (2-OGDH) together with branched chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase belong to the family of mitochondrial 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases. Hypolipidemic drugs, bezafibrate and fenofibrate, up-regulate liver BCKDH. The present study has been undertaken to determine the effect of low doses of bezafibrate and fenofibrate on liver 2-OGDH. Fibrates were administrated to rats fed low-protein diet at 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg. In rats treated with increasing doses of bezafibrate 2-OGDH activity increased by 7, 35 and 42%, while in rats administered with fenofibrate by 8, 18, and 56% (p&lt;0.05 for bezafibrate 10 and 20, and fenofibrate 20 mg/kg). Changes in 2-OGDH activity did not correspond with changes in mRNA levels of the complex enzymes. Moreover, mRNA levels of PPARα remained unaltered. It is conceivable that stimulation of 2-OGDH activity by low doses of fibrates is the result of post-transcriptional events and may have a significant effect on liver metabolism.</p><p> </p>
L'itinéraire d'une recherche internationale

Published: June 2015

Ce numéro de la revue est constitué par le rapport final qu'une équipe pluridisciplinaire franco- belge présente au C.N.R.S. sur une recherche menée depuis 1976 dans le cadre de l'A. T. P. Europe du Temps Présent. Les contrats obtenus visaient à mener à bien une enquête sur «Changement social, modes de vie et représentations collectives dans le nord de la France et en Belgique».
Six terrains principaux d'études ont été choisis de part et d'autre de la frontière franco-belge : deux zones dans des régions de vieille industrie textile : Halluin, dans la vallée française de la Lys, et Andrimont, près de Verviers ; deux autres dans les bassins houillers : Sallaumines (Pas-de-Calais) et Cuesmes (Borinage) ; deux autres enfin dans le pays flamand : Gravelines et Poperinghe.
Des enseignants-chercheurs en sciences humaines des trois universités de Lille, des universités de Liège, de Mons et de la Vrije Universiteit de Bruxelles ont mené à bien leur tâche grâce au croisement des sources, elles-mêmes pierres de touche des approches : entretiens, archives et questionnaires ont permis de déceler à la fois le changement social réel et la façon dont il était vécu et perçu par les acteurs.
Dans le temps long, la rupture des années 1950 paraît importante («progrès» avec souvent effondrement de la sociabilité traditionnelle). Mais l'on observe que l'identité des communes a pu être maintenue et qu'elle a été partout depuis un siècle une remise en cause et une création continues, devenues simplement à présent plus difficiles et plus exigeantes.
En marge d'une métropole : Hier et aujourd'hui dans «la vallée de la Lys», (communes d'Halluin, Roncq et Bousbecque)
Authors: Lentacker Firmin 
Published: June 2015

De enquête uitgevoerd in drie gemeenten van de Leievallei, Halluin, Roncq en Bousbecque, op de rand van de Rijselse metropool, geeft een beeld van de aard van de sociale veranderingen en van de perceptie en de interpretatie ervan in een zeer specifiek milieu van de Noordfranse streek : een bevolking die sedert lang in de textielindustrie werkt en de herinnering bewaart aan gebruiken en de mentaliteit van voor de industrialisatie en de industriële revolutie, en die nu voor de mutaties van het post-industriële tijdperk staat. Het was mogelijk zich op voorhand een globaal beeld te vormen van de demografische, economische en sociale evolutie van de drie gemeenten, sedert een eeuw, aan de hand van gedrukte bronnen, gemeentelijke en départementale archieven en ook private en nog niet gepubliceerde archieven.
Een eerste kontakt met het sociale milieu en een eerste evaluatie van de verandering kwam uit een reeks niet directieve gesprekken en de studie van het verenigingsleven van Halluin. Het collectief geheugen weerhoudt vooral de grotere welvaart, de veranderende verhoudingen in de familie, en de zwakte van de huidige sociabiliteit en oordeelt verder vaak dat het heden naar de ineenstorting van het verleden voert zonder zekerheid voor de toekomst te brengen. De aard en de invloed van de sociale verandering werden nog nauwkeuriger onderzocht via een vragenlijst ingevuld door 285 per- sonen die een representatief staal vormden van de behandelde bevolking. De gegevens werden met een computer behandeld en reveleren hoe sterk de band nog is met de gemeente en de streek van de metropool. Men kan ook een reeks vraagtekens plaatsen bij de reële impact van het verslappen van de sociabiliteitsbanden, wat men te snel omschrijft als een kenmerk van de nieuwe tijd. Vraagtekens ook bij de ondergang van de religieuze praktijk, die niet zo duidelijk is als men algemeen aanneemt, en bij de werkelijke zwakte van de sindikale en politieke inzet. Het onderzoek geeft ook een precies beeld van de stijgende welvaart en de verander ingen die voortvloeien uit meer vrije tijd dan vroeger wat dan ook aan het licht brengt dat er een socio-culturele stagnatie is, die door de locale en régionale economische moeilijkheden in stand wordt gehouden.

The Pragmatics of Word Meaning
Authors: Lascarides Alex , Copestake Ann 
Published: June 2015

In this paper, we explore the interaction between lexical semantics and pragmat­ics. Linguistic processing is nformationally encapsulated and utilises relatively simple 'taxonomic' lexical semantic knowledge. On this basis, defeasible lexical generalisations deliver defeasible parts of logical form. In contrast, pragmatics is open-ended and involves arbitrary knowledge. Two axioms specify when pragmatic defaults override lexical ones. We demonstrate that modelling this interaction al­lows us to achieve a more refined interpretation of words in a discourse context than either the lexicon or pragmatics could do on their own.
