Published: May 2010

Abstract
Internet information technological advances have transformed customer and supplier collaborative design systems into a major trend. Studies have shown that product data can be effectively exchanged and shared in collaborative design, which can enhance enterprise competitiveness. This study used analytical hierarchy process, sensitivity analysis, and benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks decision-support tools to analyze the collaborative design information system, which can effectively integrate supplier and customer resources in differs industries. Collaborative design information systems employed by the control information system of the Taiwan Freeway Bureau to analyze case studies. Finally, the proposed model can provide decision-makers with a more realistic and accurate description of the risks and challenges involved in controlling collaborative design information systems.
Food Masquerade
Authors: bermingham ann 
Published: May 2010

Radishes cut to look like roses, watermelons carved into fruit baskets, apples made into swans, cakes frosted to look like dolls——when did this game of food masquerade start and how? This essay speculates about food's on-going history of disguise, of pretending to be what it's not. From the Renaissance courtier's delight in confections disguised as beasts, birds, and other fancies to our present day fascination with Japanese bento lunch boxes, food masquerade would seem to be a fanciful part of the history of food.
Food masquerade injects some levity into our growing seriousness about food, our suspicion that most supermarket food is riddled with toxins and bad karma. It proposes that eating food should be fun. Food masquerade also gets to the very heart of artistic visual representation: the magical transformation of paint, clay or wood into an image of something else. It is a synecdoche for art itself.
High or Low Oxygen Saturation and Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Chen Minghua L. , Guo Lei , Smith Lois E. H. , Dammann Christiane E. L. , Dammann Olaf 
Published: May 2010

CONTEXT:Low oxygen saturation appears to decrease the risk of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm newborns when administered during the first few weeks after birth. High oxygen saturation seems to reduce the risk at later postmenstrual ages (PMAs). However, previous clinical studies are not conclusive individually.OBJECTIVE:To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to report the association between severe ROP incidence of premature infants with high or low target oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry.METHODS:Studies were identified through PubMed and Embase literature searches through May 2009 by using the terms “retinopathy of prematurity and oxygen” or “retinopathy of prematurity and oxygen therapy.” We selected 10 publications addressing the association between severe ROP and target oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry. Using a random-effects model we calculated the summary-effect estimate. We visually inspected funnel plots to examine possible publication bias.RESULTS:Low oxygen saturation (70%–96%) in the first several postnatal weeks was associated with a reduced risk of severe ROP (risk ratio [RR]: 0.48 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.31–0.75]). High oxygen saturation (94%–99%) at ≥32 weeks’ PMA was associated with a decreased risk for progression to severe ROP (RR: 0.54 [95% CI: 0.35–0.82]).CONCLUSIONS:Among preterm infants with a gestational age of ≤32 weeks, early low and late high oxygen saturation were associated with a reduced risk for severe ROP. We feel that a large randomized clinical trial with long-term developmental follow-up is warranted to confirm this meta-analytic result.
On-time Vaccine Receipt in the First Year Does Not Adversely Affect Neuropsychological Outcomes
Authors: Smith Michael J. , Woods Charles R. 
Published: May 2010

OBJECTIVES:
To determine whether children who received recommended vaccines on time during the first year of life had different neuropsychological outcomes at 7 to 10 years of age as compared with children with delayed receipt or nonreceipt of these vaccines.

METHODS:
Publicly available data, including age at vaccination, from a previous VaccineSafety Datalink study of thimerosal exposure and 42 neuropsychological outcomes were analyzed. Vaccine receipt was defined as timely when each vaccine was received within 30 days of the recommended age. Associations between timeliness and each outcome were tested in univariate analyses. Multivariable regression models were constructed for further assessment of the impact of timeliness on neuropsychological outcomes after adjustment for potential confounders. Secondary analyses were performed on a subset of children with the highest and lowest vaccine exposures during the first 7 months of life.

RESULTS:
Timely vaccination was associated with better performance on 12 outcomes in univariate testing and remained associated with better performance for 2 outcomes in multivariable analyses. No statistically significant differences favored delayed receipt. In secondary analyses, children with the greatest vaccine exposure during the first 7 months of life performed better than children with the least vaccine exposure on 15 outcomes in univariate testing; these differences did not persist in multivariable analyses. No statistically significant differences favored the less vaccinated children.

CONCLUSIONS:
Timely vaccination during infancy has no adverse effect on neuropsychological outcomes 7 to 10 years later. These data may reassure parents who are concerned that children receive too many vaccines too soon.
Variation in Pediatric and Adolescent Firearm Mortality Rates in Rural and Urban US Counties
Authors: Nance Michael L. , Carr Brendan G. , Kallan Michael J. , Branas Charles C. , Wiebe Douglas J. 
Published: May 2010

OBJECTIVE:
We examined whether firearm mortality rates among children varied across US counties along a rural-urban continuum.

METHODS:
US vital statistics data were accessed for all pediatric (age: 0–19 years) firearm deaths from 1999 through 2006. Deaths were analyzed according to a modified rural-urban continuum code (based on population size and proximity to metropolitan areas) assigned to each county (3141 counties).

RESULTS:
In the 8-year study period, there were 23649 pediatric firearm deaths (15190 homicides, 7082 suicides, and 1377 unintentional deaths). Pediatric nonfirearm mortality rates were significantly higher in the most-rural counties (adjusted rate ratio: 1.36 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13–1.64]), compared with the most-urban counties. The most-rural counties demonstrated virtually identical pediatric firearm mortality rates (adjusted rate ratio: 0.91 [95% CI: 0.63–1.32]), compared with the most-urban counties. The most-rural counties had higher rates of pediatric firearm suicide (adjusted rate ratio: 2.01 [95% CI: 1.43–2.83]) and unintentional firearm death (adjusted rate ratio: 2.19 [95% CI: 1.27–3.77]), compared with the most-urban counties. Pediatric firearm homicides rates were significantly higher in the most-urban counties (adjusted rate ratio: 3.69 [95% CI: 2.00–6.80]), compared with the most-rural counties.

CONCLUSIONS:
Children in the most-rural US counties had firearm mortality rates that were statistically indistinguishable from those for children in the most-urban counties. This finding reflects a greater homicide rate in urban counties counterbalanced by greater suicide and unintentional firearm death rates in rural counties. Nonfirearm mortality rates were significantly greater outside the most-urban US counties.
Pediatric Mobility Aid–Related Injuries Treated in US Emergency Departments From 1991 to 2008
Authors: Barnard Alison M. , Nelson Nicolas G. , Xiang Huiyun , McKenzie Lara B. 
Published: May 2010

OBJECTIVES:
Although mobility aids such as crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs are typically beneficial, they can be associated with injury. The objective of this study was to describe the incidence, patterns, and trends of pediatric mobility aid–related injuries to children and adolescents who were aged ≤19 years and treated in US emergency departments between 1991 and 2008.

METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted by using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database for children and adolescents who were aged ≤19 years. Sample weights were used to calculate national estimates of mobility aid–related injuries on the basis of 2301 actual cases.

RESULTS:
An estimated 63 309 cases of children and adolescents who were aged ≤19 years were treated in US emergency departments for mobility aid–related injuries. Approximately 70% of mobility aid– related injuries occurred while patients were using wheelchairs. Children who were aged 2 to 10 years were more likely to sustain injuries while using walkers and wheelchairs, injure their heads, and sustain traumatic brain injuries. Children who were aged 11 to 19 years were more likely to sustain injuries while using crutches, injure their lower extremities, and sustain sprains and strains. Injuries involving wheelchairs were more likely to be traumatic brain injuries and result in hospitalization. Injuries involving crutches were more likely to involve misuse and be triggered by stairs or curbs.

CONCLUSIONS:
Injuries related to crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs have distinct injury patterns, mechanisms of injury, and trigger factors. Injury patterns between younger and older children were different. Additional research is needed to identify effective injury prevention strategies for the pediatric population.
Using Glycosylated Hemoglobin to Define the Metabolic Syndrome in United States Adults
Authors: Ong Kwok Leung , Tso Annette W.K. , Lam Karen S.L. , Cherny Stacey S. , Sham Pak Chung , Cheung Bernard M.Y. 
Published: May 2010

OBJECTIVE
To compare the use of GHb and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) to define the metabolic syndrome (MetS).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2006 were used. MetS was defined using the consensus criteria in 2009. Raised blood glucose was defined as either FPG ≥100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l) or GHb ≥5.7%.

RESULTS
In 2003–2006, there was 91.3% agreement between GHb and FPG when either was used to define MetS. The agreement was good irrespective of age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, and diabetes status (≥87.4%). Similar results were found in 1999–2002. Among subjects without diabetes, only the use of GHb alone, but not FPG, resulted in significant association with cardiovascular diseases (odds ratio 1.45, P = 0.005).

CONCLUSIONS
Using GHb instead of FPG to define MetS is feasible. It also identifies individuals with increased cardiovascular risk.
Species and genera of soil nematodes in forest ecosystems of the Vihorlat Protected Landscape Area, Slovakia
Authors: Háněl L. , Čerevková A. 
Published: May 2010

Abstract
Fauna of soil nematodes was studied in three main forest types of the Vihorlat Mountains, Querceto-Fageto-Aceretum at Remetské Hámre (RH), Fagetum at Morské oko (MO), and Fageto-Aceretum at Sninský kameň (SK). Each forest type was represented by five sites. In total 198 species and 98 genera of soil nematodes were distinguished. Most species belonged to rare taxa with the frequency of occurrence lower than 50 %. The number of species and genera decreased from RH (167 species and 86 genera) through MO (115 and 68) to SK (87 and 51). Species and generic richness was significantly positively correlated with soil pH(H2O), negatively with altitude, soil moisture and Cox. Greater part of nematode species and genera belonged to microbivores and to the taxa with higher cp values of 3 – 5. We can conclude that rich nematode fauna indicated undisturbed forest soil condition, nevertheless, the richness decreased with increasing altitude.

Published: May 2010

Abstract
One short-snouted spinner dolphin Stenella clymene individual stranded on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico, was examined for stomach and lung nematodes. During necropsy, a large number of nematodes of the species Skrjabinalius guevarai were found in the airways. Additionally, some larval Anisakis sp. were found in the stomach. Both nematode species are reported for the first time from this host. The present is the first helminthological study of the short-snouted spinner dolphin in Mexico and adjacent waters of the Caribbean Sea. S. guevarai is reported for the first time from the western Atlantic Ocean.

Kinematics Analysis: Number of Trials Necessary to Achieve Performance Stability during Soccer Instep Kicking
The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of kinematics responses related to stretch shortening cycle (SSC) during 10 consecutive soccer instep kicks. The kicking motions of dominant legs were captured from five experienced adult male soccer players (body height: 184.60 ± 4.49 cm; body mass: 80 ± 4.24 kg; age: 25.60 ± 1.14 years) using a three-dimensional infra-red high speed camera at 200 Hz. Some important kinematic parameters include eccentric angular velocity (AVe), concentric angular velocity (AVc), duration of eccentric (Te), and duration of concentric (Tc) at forward and impact phases selected to analyses. The AVe result of the sixth kick, relative to the first kick, was significantly lower when compared to the other kicks (with p ≤ 0.001). The AVc result of the fifth kick, relative to the first kick, was significantly lower when compared to the other kicks (with p ≤ 0.001). The Te result of the fourth kick, relative to the first kick, was significantly lower when compared to the other kicks (with p ≤ 0.011). The Tc result of the fifth kick, relative to the first kick, was significantly lower when compared to the other kicks (p ≤ 0.029). We concluded that 5 consecutive kicks are adequate to achieve high kinematic responses related to SSC.

The Effects of a Yoga Intervention on Balance, Speed and Endurance of Walking, Fatigue and Quality of Life in People with Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that results in many symptoms including mobility limitation, fatigue and redacted quality of life.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a yoga intervention on balance, speed and endurance of walking, fatigue and quality of life in MS patients.
21women with MS (34.38±5,68) with Expanded Disability Status Scale scores 1.0 to 4.0, have been randomly assigned to a yoga group or control group. Yoga group subjects participated in a thrice weekly 60-70 minute sessions of Hatha yoga intervention for 8-weeks. Balance, speed and endurance of walking, fatigue and quality of life were measured by Berg Balance scores; 10-m time and 2-minute distance walking, Fatigue Severity Scale (FFS) and Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 questionnaire (MSQOL-54) respectively.
Comparison of results of pre and post intervention revealed significant improvement on balance score, walking endurance, FFS and some of MSQOL-54 scale scores in the yoga group (p≤0.05 respectively). There were no clear changes in10-m times (p= 0.132), related to yoga group. No changes were observed for control group.
These results suggest that yoga intervention can be beneficial for patients with MS

Anthropometric, Physiological and Performance Characteristics of Elite and Sub-elite Fencers
The present study aimed at investigating the differences in selected anthropometric, strength-power parameters and functional characteristics of fencing performance between elite and sub-elite fencers. Thirty-three fencers (18 females and 15 males) from the Greek National Team, (age 19 ± 3.5 yr, body height 175.6 ± 7.6 cm, body mass 66.1 ± 9.1 kg, systematic training 8.4 ± 2.9 yr) were classified as elite and sub-elite, according to their international experience. Subjects underwent a detailed anthropometric assessment and performed selected leg power and fencing-specific tests. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in sitting height, triceps, subscapular, and quadriceps dominant skinfold thickness, absolute and body mass-dependent expressions of leg functional power characteristics of fencing performance: "time of lunge" and time of the "shuttle test". Anthropometric traits, such as height, body mass, percent fat and limb length were not different among elite and sub-elite fencers. Although technical and tactical factors are good indicators of fencing success, the observed differences in functional fencing performance tests among different levels of fencers are useful for the design of effective talent development and training-conditioning programs for competitive fencers.

Published: May 2010

Study Design Cross-sectional study. Objectives To evaluate the relationship between the occurrence of falls and muscle strength, flexibility, and balance in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis. Background Osteoporosis and falls are common problems encountered in the elderly. Methods A total of 133 women with and 133 without osteoporosis, aged 60 years or greater, were included in the study. Women were interviewed about clinical and social demographic characteristics and the occurrence of falls in the previous 12 months. The variables evaluated were presence of osteoporosis, muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. Results A significantly higher percentage of women with osteoporosis (51%) compared to those without osteoporosis (29%) had a history of at least 1 fall within the previous 12 months. There was a significant and inverse association between trunk extension strength and trunk flexion range of motion with falls. Logistic regression analyses showed that the variables associated with falls were trunk extension strength and presence of osteoporosis. Greater trunk extension strength was associated with a lower risk for falls (odds ratio, 0.97), while the presence of osteoporosis increased fall risk by a factor of 2.17. Conclusions A greater percentage of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis had a history of 1 or more falls within the previous year and a higher risk of recurrent falls than women without osteoporosis. Muscle strength of the lumbar spine and the presence of osteoporosis are intrinsic factors associated with the risk of falls. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(9):582–588. doi:10.2519/jospt.2010.3239
Une contribution de la psychosociologie à la construction démocratique de la sécurité publique
Authors: Bordet Joëlle 
Published: May 2010

Résumé Cet article est écrit en référence à la présentation de l’atelier sur la sécurité mené à Grande-synthe et aux réflexions qu’elle a suscitées lors du colloque du CIRFIP sur la recherche-action. Dans un premier temps, nous décrivons ce processus d’élaboration sur les situations d’insécurité, associant les élus, les professionnels et les habitants ; ce travail collectif vise à mieux comprendre les situations vécues à propos de l’insécurité et à créer les conditions d’une réassurance pour l’ensemble des habitants. L’inscription politique de cet atelier au sein de la municipalité constitue une nécessité pour son développement. Dans un deuxième temps, nous analysons, en fonction de cette expérience, comment la psychosociologie peut aider à ce que l’intervention publique en matière de sécurité soit un élément de construction de la démocratie locale et pourquoi la mise en place d’un espace collectif reliant la pensée, la compréhension et l’action y contribue.
Les deux mains gauches de Freud ou le temps poétique de la psychanalyse
Authors: Giust-Desprairies Florence 
Published: May 2010

Résumé Cet article concerne l’art poétique. L’auteur se propose de ressaisir les origines de la pensée freudienne dans ce moment de la rupture qui fonde une science de l’inconscient, en suivant une pensée qui fraye un passage vers une autre scène et renouvelle le rapport intime entre la chose, l’image et le mot. En reprenant le mouvement originaire de la pensée freudienne et ses conséquences sur le dispositif psychanalytique, l’auteur revisite, ensuite, la question des correspondances entre l’expérience analytique et l’expérience poétique. La pratique de la libre association, dans le cadre instauré par l’analyse, amène à ce moment nommé par l’auteur « ombilic », instant démuni découvrant un inédit qui confronte à une altérité radicale. Chez le poète, ce mouvement d’irruption s’ouvre en même temps que le texte cherche à s’écrire en une tentative reconduite pour donner figure à l’infiguré.
La domestication biotechnologique de l'humain
Authors: Robert-Demontrond Philippe , Despois Jean-Luc 
Published: May 2010

Résumé L’orée d’une économie de l’information signifie celle d’une nouvelle « ère héroïque » pour les salariés. Nouvelle en ce que, régulièrement, l’expression est reprise dans les écrits, scientifiques ou non, qui visent à déterminer, de période en période, l’esprit des temps industriels – s’agissant alors d’énoncer l’idée qu’il est décidément trop d’exigences pesant sur l’humain, définitivement trop humain. Ce en quoi, finalement, la modernité paraît inhumaine. Ce qui pose problème ; problème face auquel deux grands types de solutions sont envisageables, dans leurs formes extrêmes : l’une consistant à œuvrer à l’adaptation des conditions de travail aux possibilités de l’humain, et l’on a là l’essence de la démarche ergonomique, plaçant l’homme au cœur du système économique et œuvrant à l’aménagement de son environnement ; l’autre consistant au contraire à s’inquiéter des insuffisances de l’humain pour le transformer, et l’on a là l’essence de la démarche bio-ingénierique, déplaçant l’homme à la périphérie du système économique. Cette approche, à statut paradigmatique, n’est pas marginale. Ces contours essentiels sont ici tracés, afin d’explorer les principaux enjeux posés.
