The use of geoinformation in rural and urban-rural gminas of Zgierz poviat – a pilot survey
Authors: Feltynowski Marcin 
Published: November 2013

AbstractThe use of geoinformation becomes more and more common due to the implementation of EU law to the regulations of individual member states. The opportunity of faster implementation of spatial information systems and geoinformation is possible thanks to the popularisation of knowledge concerning the ways of using spatial information. The pilot survey was conducted in rural and urban-rural gminas of Zgierz poviat (administrative unit of the 2nd order). The aim of the survey was to check if the officials in small gminas have knowledge and access to geoinformation. A part of the research was the identification of the sources of obtaining knowledge and sources of obtaining spatial data. The consequence of such an attitude was, as well, to prove in which areas of territorial unit activity geoinformation is used. An important element of the study was self-assessment of the knowledge level of the officials about geoinformation and spatial information systems. The study helped to determine if there is a knowledge gap in Polish gminas. The analyses allow for indicating the level and areas of geoinformation usage by the local authorities.
Structure of foreign investment in the industry of Poland at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century
Authors: Tobolska Anna 
Published: November 2013

AbstractThis paper seeks to analyse the sectional and spatial structure of the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) to industry in Poland and to determine the extent of internationalisation of this sphere of the economy. Those issues are significant not only in cognitive terms, but can also have implications for the country’s economy, in particular for its economic policy. In the first step of the research procedure an analysis was characterised the structure of foreign investment in the various sectors of industry was on the basis of selected variables: the capital invested, the number of companies with foreign capital, and the employment generated. To assess differences in the divisional structure, use was made of two quantitative methods: Rodgers’ relativised index of structure diversification and Creamer’s diversification index. Then the spatial structure of the foreign capital inflow to Polish industry was identified in two aspects: by region where investment was located and by the investors’ country of origin. On the basis of the observed tendencies and regularities, an assessment was made of foreign direct investment in Polish industry, and the performed analysis was summed up by constructing an FDI internationalisation profile. In the paper use was made of statistical data obtained from the following sources: reports published by the National Bank of Poland; information and materials published by the Central Statistical Office (GUS); and information and materials published by the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ).

Object
The use of cerebral intraoperative angiography has been described in resection of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in adults. More recently, studies have described experiences with intraoperative angiography in a small number of children. However, data on the safety and clinical utility of intraoperative angiography in the pediatric population remains limited in comparison with available data in adults. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of cerebral intraoperative angiography in children undergoing AVM resection. The clinical utility of intraoperative angiography and procedure-related complications were evaluated.

Methods
A retrospective review was performed for all patients undergoing cerebral AVM resection with intraoperative angiography at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia between 2008 and 2012. Patient imaging and operative and medical notes were reviewed to evaluate for end points of the study. A total of 17 patients (8 males, 9 females) were identified, with a median age of 12.1 years (range 1.2–17.9 years) and median weight of 45.5 kg (range 12.1–78.9 kg).

Results
A total of 21 intraoperative angiography procedures were performed for 18 AVM resections in 17 patients. The technical success rate was 94%. In 2 cases (11%), intraoperative angiography demonstrated a residual AVM, and repeat resections were performed. In both cases, no recurrent disease was noted on postoperative follow-up. One procedure-related complication (4.8%) occurred in 1 patient who was positioned prone. Recurrence to date was noted in 2 (14%) of the 14 cases with available postoperative follow-up at 3.5 and 4.7 months following resection with intraoperative angiography. The median follow-up time from intraoperative angiography to the most recent postoperative angiography was 1.1 years (range 4.3 months to 3.8 years).

Conclusions
Intraoperative angiography is an effective and safe adjunct for surgical management of cerebral AVMs in the pediatric population.
Hemodynamically significant venous collapse underlying neonatal hydrocephalus
Authors: Bateman Grant A. 
Published: November 2013

Object
It is known that CSF diversion in neonatal hydrocephalus can significantly increase cerebral blood flow, suggesting that a rapidly reversible elevation in vascular resistance underlies this disorder. Various sites of vascular compression have been described in the literature, from the arterioles to the capillary bed to the venules and sinuses. The purpose of this study was to define the site of the hemodynamically significant vascular compression seen in neonatal hydrocephalus.

Methods
The author performed a retrospective review of all patients who, in the first 28 days of life, had undergone 3-T MRI examination, including MR venography and susceptibility weighted scanning, at a tertiary care referral hospital in the period from April 2010 to April 2013. The maximum size of the subependymal veins over the thalamus and transverse sinuses was measured.

Results
Three children with hydrocephalus were identified, and 10 children with a normal ventricular size served as controls. The subependymal veins were twice as prominent and the transverse sinuses were half as large in the patients with hydrocephalus compared with those in controls.

Conclusions
The hemodynamically significant elevation in vascular resistance, which occurs in neonatal hydrocephalus, appears to be located in the venous sinuses.
Value-based neurosurgery: the example of microvascular decompression surgery
Authors: McLaughlin Nancy , Buxey Farzad , Chaw Karen , Martin Neil A. 
Published: November 2013

Object
Value of care is emerging as a promising framework to restructure health care, emphasizing the importance of reporting multiple outcomes that encompass the entire care episode instead of isolated outcomes specific to care points during a patient's care. The authors assessed the impact of coordinated implementation of processes across the episode of surgical care on value of neurosurgical care, using microvascular decompression (MVD) as an example.

Methods
This study is a retrospective review of consecutive cases involving patients with either trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm undergoing first-time MVD. Patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 included patients who underwent surgery between February 2008 and November 2009 and Group 2 included those who underwent surgery between January 2011 and October 2012. The authors collected data on outcome measures spanning the entire surgical episode of care according to the Outcome Measures Hierarchy.

Results
Forty-nine patients were included: 20 patients in Group 1 and 29 patients in Group 2. Thirty-one patients underwent MVD for trigeminal neuralgia and 18 for hemifacial spasm. A zero mortality rate and high degree of symptom resolution were achieved in both groups. Group 2 benefited from a reduction in the average total operating room time, a decrease in the mean and median postoperative length of hospital stay, a decrease in the mean length of stay on the floor, and a reduction in the rates of complications and readmissions.

Conclusions
Comprehensive implementation of improvement processes throughout the continuum of care resulted in improved global outcome and greater value of delivered care. Enhanced-recovery perioperative protocols and diagnosis-specific clinical pathways are two avenues built around global care delivery that can help achieve an “optimal episode of surgical care” in every case.
La « haine blanche » et le temps arrêté
Authors: Arènes Jacques 
Published: November 2013

En s’appuyant sur des données issues de cures psychanalytiques individuelles, et sur des exemples littéraires, l’auteur analyse le paradoxe d’une haine qui ne serait pas « habitée ». L’article explore ainsi la psychodynamique d’un type de haine, qualifié de « haine blanche », dont l’affect de mépris serait une variété. Ce type particulier de haine fait référence à un « fonctionnement » psychique qui se jouerait du côté de la survie. Il serait le signe d’une faille majeure, psychiquement transmise, de la métabolisation de l’expérience subjective, et du rapport à la temporalité.
Le stigmate et la haine de soi
Authors: Eiguer Alberto 
Published: November 2013

Ce travail aborde le problème du stigmate : il évoque de nombreux problèmes liés au social et au psychique. Un stigmate est un défaut mais il devient stigmatisant lorsqu’on développe de la haine à l’encontre de soi, que l’on se déprécie. Pour l’auteur, l’environnement familial joue une fonction non négligeable dans cette évolution. Il étudie différentes dérives et notamment les conséquences du regard d’autrui. Si le groupe social et le groupe familial jouent un rôle dans cette évolution, c’est avec le groupe et en s’étayant sur lui que la situation de la stigmatisation se renversera et que le stigmate pourra devenir une force. Un cas clinique permet d’illustrer les effets de la haine de soi. Les contributions de la philosophie et de la sociologie élargissent ce débat.
Génocide, destruction et reconstruction du lien familial
Authors: Dorey Jean-Louis 
Published: November 2013

Dans une famille éclatée ayant été confrontée à une situation de génocide, les effets de la déliaison apparaissent masqués par un ensemble de défenses recouvrant la violence et la haine. Le travail thérapeutique sur le lien familial permet d’actualiser une lente remontée de la « pulsionnalité », de remobiliser des affects gelés et de libérer la dimension de la culpabilité. L’arrivée de la conflictualité et son dépassement amorcent un début de retissage de la déchirure de l’enveloppe généalogique provoquée par la catastrophe.
La haine dans le couple : ni avec toi, ni sans toi

Published: November 2013

« Ni avec toi, Ni avec toi ni sans toi mes maux n’ont de remède : avec toi parce que tu me tues, sans toi parce que je meurs. » En partant d’une vignette clinique on traite le sentiment de haine dans les relations de couple. La haine n’est pas le contraire de l’amour. L’amour et la haine coexistent dans la plupart des couples. Dans la collusion obsessionnelle, les membres du couple ne tolèrent pas de vivre ensemble mais ils ne peuvent pas être séparés, parce que cette collusion se base sur le contrôle mutuel, la provocation ambivalente et la dépendance inséparable. Dans beaucoup d’autres situations et d’autres types de collusion, les couples peuvent métaboliser la haine et réparer la souffrance causée, mais, pour le clinicien, le fait de détecter si la collusion qui prédomine est de type obsessionnel lui permet de comprendre pourquoi ces couples montrent autant de difficultés à introduire des changements dans leur relation, en perpétuant le fonctionnement destructif et en transmettant transgénérationnellement un type de relation pathologique.
Comparative genetics of warfarin resistance

Published: November 2013

SummaryWarfarin and other 4-hydroxycoumarinbased oral anticoagulants targeting vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) are administered to humans, mice and rats with different purposes in mind – to act as pesticides in high-dosage baits for killing rodents, but also to save lives when administered in low dosages as antithrombotic drugs in humans. However, high-dosage warfarin used to control rodent populations has resulted in numerous mutations causing warfarin resistance. Currently, six single missense mutations in mice, 12 distinct missense mutations in rats, as well as compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations with up to six distinct missense mutations per Vkorc1 allele have been described. Warfarin resistance missense mutations for human VKORC1 have also been found world-wide, but differ characteristically from those in rodents. In humans, 26 distinct mutations have been characterized, but occur only rarely either in heterozygous or, even rarer, in homozygous form.In this review, we summarize the known VKORC1 missense mutations causing warfarin and other 4-hydroxycoumarin drug resistance, identify genomics databases as new sources of data, explore possible underlying genetic mechanisms, and summarize similarities and differences between warfarin resistant VKORC1 variants in humans and rodents.
THE EULER NUMBER FROM THE DISTANCE FUNCTION
Authors: Gual-Arnau Ximo 
Published: November 2013

We present a new method to obtain the Euler number of a domain based on the tangent counts of concentric spheres in ℝ³ (or circles in ℝ², with respect to the center O, that sweeps the domain. This method is derived from the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem, when the index of critical points of the square of the distance function with respect to the origin O are considered.
Subglacial extensional fracture development and implications for Alpine Valley evolution
Authors: Leith Kerry , Moore Jeffrey R. , Amann Florian , Loew Simon 
Published: November 2013

AbstractBedrock stresses induced through exhumation and tectonic processes play a key role in the topographic evolution of alpine valleys. Using a finite difference model combining the effects of tectonics, erosion, and long‐term bedrock strength, we assess the development of near‐surface in situ stresses and predict bedrock behavior in response to glacial erosion in an Alpine Valley (the Matter Valley, southern Switzerland). Initial stresses are derived from the regional tectonic history, which is characterized by ongoing transtensional or extensional strain throughout exhumation of the brittle crust. We find that bedrock stresses beneath glacial ice in an initial V‐shaped topography are sufficient to induce localized extensional fracturing in a zone extending laterally 600 m from the valley axis. The limit of this zone is reflected in the landscape today by a valley “shoulder,” separating linear upper mountain slopes from the deep U‐shaped inner valley. We propose that this extensional fracture development enhanced glacial quarrying between the valley shoulder and axis and identify a positive feedback where enhanced quarrying promoted valley incision, which in turn increased in situ stress concentrations near the valley floor, assisting erosion and further driving rapid U‐shaped valley development. During interglacial periods, these stresses were relieved through brittle strain or topographic modification, and without significant erosion to reach more highly stressed bedrock, subsequent glaciation caused a reduction in differential stress and suppressed extensional fracturing. A combination of stress relief during interglacial periods, and increased ice accumulation rates in highly incised valleys, will reduce the likelihood of repeat enhanced erosion events.
Local and global factors controlling water‐energy balances within the Budyko framework

Published: November 2013

AbstractQuantifying partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration (ET) and runoff is the key to assessing water availability globally. Here we develop a universal model to predict water‐energy partitioning (ϖ parameter for the Fu's equation, one form of the Budyko framework) which spans small to large scale basins globally. A neural network (NN) model was developed using a data set of 224 small U.S. basins (100–10,000 km2) and 32 large, global basins (~230,000–600,000 km2) independently and combined based on both local (slope, normalized difference vegetation index) and global (geolocation) factors. The Budyko framework with NN estimated ϖ reproduced observed mean annual ET well for the combined 256 basins. The predicted mean annual ET for ~36,600 global basins is in good agreement (R2 = 0.72) with an independent global satellite‐based ET product, inversely validating the NN model. The NN model enhances the capability of the Budyko framework for assessing water availability at global scales using readily available data.
Therapeutic Relaxation
Authors: Day Melissa A. , Eyer Joshua C. , Thorn Beverly E. 
Published: November 2013

AbstractRelaxation techniques are an increasingly important part of modern therapeutic paradigms for numerous biopsychosocial disorders. In essence, all relaxation techniques elicit a broad relaxation response associated with characteristic changes in physiological, muscular, and cognitive/affective processes. Core relaxation techniques of the therapeutic arsenal include breathing techniques, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, autogenic training, hypnosis, and meditation. This chapter describes the theory, clinical implementation, and efficacy research associated with each of these approaches. Technique‐specific and broad clinical indications and contraindications are discussed. While an abundance of research has focused on the question ofwhetherrelaxation works, minimal research has focused on answering the question ofhowrelaxation works. In this chapter we argue that to demonstrate the true public health value of relaxation interventions, future research needs to verify not only that various relaxation techniques work, but that they work for the reasons specified by the associated theory.
Neurofeedback
Authors: Wyckoff Sarah , Birbaumer Niels 
Published: November 2013

AbstractNeurofeedback or electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback is the practice of providing sensory feedback in an operant conditioning paradigm to modify or enhance the activity of the central nervous system includingEEG, event‐related potentials, slow cortical potentials, and blood oxygenation level‐dependent signal of cortical or subcortical origin. The visualization of brain signals gives individuals the opportunity to gain awareness of their physiology and the information needed to learn self‐regulation or volitional control of specific brain activity for the purpose of symptom reduction or performance enhancement. A brief discussion of the origins of brain signal recording, development of classical and operant conditioning paradigms, and evolution of neurofeedback therapy is presented. The technical requirements and feedback presentation ofEEG, quantitativeEEG, slow cortical potentials, hemoencephalography, near‐infrared spectroscopy, and real‐time functional magnetic resonance imaging are discussed. An overview of the research investigating neurofeedback therapy as a treatment for psychiatric disorders is presented and includes outcome data related to attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive‐compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, dissociative disorder, learning disorders, schizophrenia, and substance abuse. The integration of neurofeedback into cognitive behavioral therapy protocols is discussed.
Homework Assignments and Self‐Monitoring

Published: November 2013

Abstract
This chapter outlines the evidence base for therapeutic homework assignments in cognitive behavioral therapy and provides a guide for the implementation of that evidence with clinical examples. Self‐monitoring, a central part of many applications of cognitive behavioral therapy for different clinical disorders and populations, is used throughout the chapter as a basis for illustrating the effective use of therapeutic homework. The chapter begins with a practitioner‐friendly review of the various avenues of research, seeking to understand the role of therapeutic homework in cognitive behavioral therapy, and then incorporates some reflection on the theorized determinants of engagement in homework. The main portion of the chapter, however, is reserved for clinical examples and guidance for practice. The chapter also highlights clinical tips and, at various points, encourages the reader to reflect on his or her own beliefs and practices regarding the role of therapeutic homework in cognitive behavioral therapy.
Cultural Context
Authors: Hinton Devon E. , Roche Martin La 
Published: November 2013

AbstractThis chapter examines the cultural aspect of cognitive behavioral therapy, focusing on anxiety and depression disorders. The chapter presents a model of the generation of anxiety‐ and depressive‐type distress, taking into account important cultural variables: the role of catastrophic cognitions about somatic and mental symptoms that result from local understanding of physiology. Using this model of the generation of psychopathology, the chapter then presents a model of how interventions can be designed to decrease anxiety and depressive psychopathology in a culturally sensitive way. It is then shown how this model applies to a culturally adapted treatment for Cambodian refugees with posttraumatic stress disorder.
Family Therapy

Published: November 2013

AbstractCognitive behavioral family therapy is now considered to be a mainstream approach accepted by contemporary family therapists worldwide. This chapter traces the evolution of cognitive behavioral family therapy and offers some brief discussion on its empirical support in the professional literature. The chapter proceeds to highlight family schema and cognitive and behavioral interventions, as well as interventions for deficits and excesses in emotional response in family relationships. An emphasis is placed on employing cognitive behavioral family therapy within a systems framework, and on its integrative potential for use with other modalities of therapy. The overall effectiveness of the cognitive behavioral model with families is discussed at the conclusion of the chapter.
