Outcome of Adolescent Depression: 6 Months After Treatment
Authors: Gordon Michael S. , Tonge Bruce , Melvin Glenn A. 
Published: December 2010

Objective: To evaluate the demographic and clinical factors that predicted depression in adolescents at 6 months after treatment. Method: A total of 130 adolescents (aged 12 to 18 years) who had been clinically referred for treatment with a DSM-IV major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder or minor depression were treated with either CBT, sertraline, their combination or supportive psychotherapy, in two randomized clinical trials using the same assessment instruments. Assessments in both studies were conducted at initial assessment, three months later at the conclusion of treatment, and at 6-month follow up. The data of these two trials were pooled. The primary outcome measures were the presence of a depressive disorder and the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale (RADS) score at 6-month follow up. Results: At baseline, only the Self Efficacy Questionnaire for Depressed Adolescents (SEQ-DA) predicted depression at 6-month follow up. Individual measures following 3 months of acute treatment that predicted depression at 6-month follow up were SEQ-DA, RADS, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale-total score, Global Assessment of Function, adolescent-rated Family Assessment Device General Functioning Subscale and adolescent-rated Visual Analogue Scores of mood states. Conclusion: Clinical variables as reported by the adolescent and identified by the clinician at baseline assessment and following 3 months of treatment predicted depression at 6-month follow up. No demographic variables were predictive of depression at 6-month follow up.

Si l’on pose que l’anthropologie visuelle n’est pas une simple paraphrase de l’écriture anthropologique classique mais qu’elle s’appuie, au contraire, sur une écriture propre, de quelle écriture
s’agit-il alors et en quoi peut-elle représenter un apport scientifique comme modalité spécifique de construction du réel face à l’acquis des connaissances dans notre discipline et aux différents courants qui la traversent et le constituent? Peut-on dire que l’anthropologie visuelle, dans le mouvement même de sa logique d’expression, induit des problématiques et des méthodologies particulières ou bien devons-nous les constituer comme telles, et comment? Quelle place ces problématiques peuvent-elles/ pourraient-elles occuper dans les fondements de la discipline et, en conséquence, quels rôles peuvent-elles/ pourraientelles jouer dans son développement le plus actuel?

Quels sont les liens entre le documentaire d’auteur et la recherche en sciences sociales? L’analyse de Récolte sanglante (Bob Connoly et Robin Anderson, 1991), qui aborde in situ et in vivo
le changement de culture vécu par un peuple récemment colonisé, permet de comprendre le surplus de vérité négocié par l’écriture cinématographique du réel, à travers le regard de deux cinéastes qui ont produit là une oeuvre exceptionnelle.
Utilité du partage des corpus pour l'analyse des interactions en ligne en situation d'apprentissage : un exemple d'approche méthodologique autour d'une base de corpus d'apprentissage
Authors: Chanier Thierry , Ciekanski Maud 
Published: December 2010

La recherche sur les interactions en ligne en situation d'apprentissage offre encore trop peu souvent la possibilité d'accéder aux données à partir desquelles les chercheurs ont élaboré les analyses présentées dans les publications. Cela restreint, d'une part, la compréhension des phénomènes étudiés et, d'autre part, empêche toute réplication dans le but de comparaisons, d'analyses cumulatives ou contrastives. Dans le projet Mulce, nous défendons le point de vue méthodologique suivant : pour permettre une analyse des interactions situées, il convient de relier les différentes données issues de formations en ligne pour construire un objet d'analyse exploitable par différentes équipes et disciplines. Le constat actuel est que les données sont souvent décontextualisées, parcellaires ou simplement inaccessibles à la communauté des chercheurs. Nous proposons donc de structurer les données en corpus d'apprentissage (Letec) de façon à rendre possible leur échange et la capitalisation des analyses. Le protocole de recherche, le scénario pédagogique, les interactions, productions et traces, les licences et les analyses capitalisables en sont les constituants. Cet article présente, dans un premier temps, les questionnements, à la fois théoriques, techniques et méthodologiques soulevés par la conception d'un tel projet. Dans un deuxième temps, nous illustrerons notre démarche à partir d'exemples issus des formations Simuligne et Copéas, en indiquant les processus simples de transformation du format Mulce aux formats requis par deux logiciels d'aide à l'analyse (l'un sur les forums, l'autre sur l'alignement entre vidéo et transcription). Nous insistons plus particulièrement sur l'intérêt de ces outils pour l'analyse des phénomènes de polyfocalisation et d'écriture multimodale dans l'analyse des interactions multimodales, caractéristiques des environnements d'apprentissage en ligne. Nous conclurons notre propos sur les modes de valorisation scientifique du travail du chercheur confronté à la collecte et à la structuration de corpus d'apprentissage.
Disease recurrence in a transplant kidney in a patient with extramedullary plasmacytoma

Published: December 2010

AbstractRenal transplantation in patients with malignancy is controversial. Renal transplantation is generally not considered for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) because of their extremely poor prognosis. There are few reports of MM recurrence among kidney transplant recipients. We present a case of disease relapse of plasmacytoma in a transplanted kidney. We present a patient with extramedullary plasmacytoma, who responded well to chemotherapy and underwent allogenic renal transplantation. He relapsed after 4 years with progression to extramedullary plasmacytoma. Despite minimal clinical symptoms, the patient had developed myeloma cast nephropathy and acute renal failure. His renal failure settled after excision of tumor. Extramedullary plasmacytoma as a mode of relapse is highly unusual. Experience of renal transplantation in MM is limited. In the literature, the recurrence of MM is mentioned as a severe complication with a poor graft prognosis. Extramedullary plasmacytoma as a mode of relapse is highly unusual. It should not be considered as a contraindication for transplantation. Renal transplantation for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) due to MM is possible. But large prospective studies are needed to develop a strategy for preventing multiple myeloma recurrence.
The future of sports management: A social responsibility, philanthropy and entrepreneurship perspective
Authors: Ratten Vanessa 
Published: December 2010

AbstractSport management as an area of business management has gained ascendancy in the past decade with more people becoming interested in how sport incorporates social benefits in a society. Sport integrates social initiatives by enhancing an organization's competitiveness by improving its public image. Social responsibility and philanthropy in sport has become a mainstream business issue and the entrepreneurial ways that sport-related organizations do this is becoming more important. This paper interviews a well-known international sport academic and practitioner on the future directions sport management will take. As social responsibility, philanthropy and entrepreneurship in the sport sector are becoming more integrated, it is important to consider how sport management will change in the future. This paper focuses on sport management as an inspiring field of business management that has an accessible audience towards social responsibility. Sport management also offers a rationale for promoting social responsibility and philanthropy to organizations and business leaders that have an opportunity to model socially responsible practices in the sport context.
The role and relevance of corporate social responsibility in sport: A view from the top
Authors: Babiak Kathy 
Published: December 2010

AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) represents behaviors that have increasingly strategic importance to many companies. CSR has been defined as a company's commitment to minimizing or eliminating any harmful effects on society and maximizing its long-term beneficial impact (Mohr, Webb, & Harris, 2001). The purpose of this paper is (a) to improve our understanding of how North American professional sport league executives view CSR and (b) to consider how CSR activities contribute to these leagues. Interviews with four senior league executives provide perspective as to the role and relevance of social responsibility in North American professional sport. The paper discusses the impact of leadership on CSR and relates the topics covered from institutional, strategic, and stakeholder perspectives.
Corporate social responsibility in sport: Stakeholder management in the UK football industry
Authors: Walters Geoff , Tacon Richard 
Published: December 2010

AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly significant for a wide range of organisations and for the managers that work within them. This is particularly true in the sport industry, where CSR is now an important area of focus for sport organisations, sport events and individual athletes. This article demonstrates how CSR can inform both theoretical debates and management practice within sport organisations. It does so by focusing on stakeholder theory, which overlaps considerably with CSR. In this article, stakeholder theory is used to examine three major CSR issues: stakeholder definition and salience, firm actions and responses, and stakeholder actions and responses. These three issues are considered in the context of the UK football industry. The article draws on 15 semi-structured qualitative interviews with senior representatives from a number of different organisations. These include the director of a large professional football club; a chief executive of a medium-sized professional football club in addition to the supporter-elected director; and the vice-chairman of a small professional football club. Additional interviews were undertaken with five representatives from national supporter organisations, two board members at two large supporter associations, two representatives from the Football League, one representative from the Independent Football Commission, and a prominent sports journalist. The analysis of the interview data illustrates ways in which CSR can be implemented by sport organisations through stakeholder management strategies. The article concludes that stakeholder theory has both conceptual and empirical value and can be used to illuminate key issues in sport management.
A Universal, Label‐Free, and Sensitive Optical Enzyme‐Sensing System for Nuclease and Methyltransferase Activity Based on Light Scattering of Carbon Nanotubes
Authors: Zhao Chao , Qu Konggang , Song Yujun , Ren Jinsong , Qu Xiaogang 
Published: December 2010

AbstractA label‐free, enzyme‐responsive nanosystem that uses a DNA/single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) assembly as the substrate is demonstrated for the sensitive, universal detection of restriction and nonrestriction endonucleases as well as methyltransferases in a homogeneous solution on the basis of light scattering (LS) of carbon nanotubes. This protocol is based on the different binding affinities of SWNTs to single‐ and double‐stranded DNA. This difference can lead to different LS signals that can be used for the detection of nuclease cleavage activity. The assay only requires a label‐free oligonucleotide probe, significantly reducing the typical cost. The LS technique and the use of a nuclease‐specific oligonucleotide probe impart extraordinarily high sensitivity and selectivity. This light scattering assay is universal and label‐free with a detection limit of 5 × 10−6 U μL−1 for S1 nuclease, 1 × 10−4 U μL−1 for EcoRI endonuclease, and 1 × 10−2 U μL−1 for EcoRI methylase. In principle, this assay can be used to detect any kind of nuclease by simply changing the DNA sequences of the specific probe.

Published: December 2010

AbstractIn this review we focus on recent developments in applications of bio‐inspired special wettable surfaces. We highlight surface materials that in recent years have shown to be the most promising in their respective fields for use in future applications. The selected topics are divided into three groups, applications of superhydrophobic surfaces, surfaces of patterned wettability and integrated multifunctional surfaces and devices. We will present how the bio‐inspired wettability has been integrated into traditional materials or devices to improve their performances and to extend their practical applications by developing new functionalities.

AbstractObjective:Reducing health and economic burdens from diagnostic delay of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) requires prompt referral for video electroencephalography (VEEG) monitoring, the diagnostic gold standard. Practitioners make VEEG referrals when semiology suggests PNES, although few semiological signs are supported by well‐designed studies, and most VEEG studies neglect to concurrently measure how accurately seizure witnesses can ascertain semiology. In this study, we estimate the value of eyewitness‐reported and video‐documented semiology for predicting PNES, and we measure accuracy of eyewitness reports.Methods:We prospectively interviewed eyewitnesses of seizures in patients referred for VEEG monitoring, to inquire about 48 putative PNES and ES signs. Multiple, EEG‐blinded, epileptologists independently evaluated seizure videos and documented the presence/absence of signs. We used generalized estimating equations to identify reliable video‐documented PNES and ES signs, and we compared eyewitness reports with video findings to assess how accurately signs are reported. We used logistic regression to determine whether eyewitness reports could predict VEEG‐ascertained seizure type.Results:We analyzed 120 seizures (36 PNES, 84 ES) from 35 consecutive subjects. Of 45 video‐documented signs, only 3 PNES signs (“preserved awareness,” “eye flutter,” and “bystanders can intensify or alleviate”) and 3 ES signs (“abrupt onset,” “eye‐opening/widening,” and postictal “confusion/sleep”) were significant and reliable indicators of seizure type. Eyewitness reports of these 6 signs were inaccurate and not statistically different from guessing. Consequentially, eyewitness reports of signs did not predict VEEG‐ascertained diagnosis. We validated our findings in a second, prospective cohort of 36 consecutive subjects.Interpretation:We identified 6 semiological signs that reliably distinguish PNES and ES, and found that eyewitness reports of these signs are unreliable. We offer suggestions to improve the accuracy of eyewitness reports. ANN NEUROL 2011;
Dietary wheat germ oil influences gene expression in larvae and eggs of the oriental fruit fly

Published: December 2010

AbstractChanges in animal nutrition, particularly essential dietary components, alter global gene expression patterns. Our goal is to identify molecular markers that serve as early indicators of the quality of insect culture media. Markers of deficient culture media will increase the efficiency of developing optimal systems for mass rearing beneficial insects and some pest species because decisions on culture media quality can be made without waiting through one or several life cycles. The objective of our current study is to discover molecular markers of essential dietary lipid deficiency in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis. We reared groups of fruit flies separately on media either devoid of or supplemented with wheat germ oil (WGO) and analyzed gene expression in third instar larvae and F1 eggs using 2D electrophoresis. Gel densitometry revealed significant changes in expression levels of genes encoding eight proteins in larvae and 22 proteins in eggs. We identified these proteins by using mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF) and bioinformatic analyses of the protein sequences. Among these, we identified one gene encoding the receptor of activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) that increased in expression by 6.8‐fold in eggs from adults that were reared as larvae on media supplemented with WGO. RACK1 is an essential component of at least three intracellular signal transduction pathways, making it a good molecular marker candidate of lipid deficiency in fruit flies and possibly many other insect species. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Der Einfluß des Lösungsmittels auf die Teilreaktionen bei der radikalischen Polymerisation des Methylmethacrylates
Authors: Fischer J. P. , Mücke G. , Schulz G. V. 
Published: December 2010

AbstractMit Hilfe der Methode der intermittierenden Belichtung (Sektormethode) in Kombination mit Stationärmessungen wird eine Absolutbestimmung der Geschwindigkeitskonstanten aller am Polymerisationsprozeß beteiligten Elementarreaktionen durchgeführt. Hierbei wird die Viskosität des Lösungsmittels insgesamt um den Faktor 170 und der Polymerisationsgrad um den Faktor 20 variiert. Es zeigt sich, daß die Radikalausbeute (efficiency) bei Erhöhung der Viskosität absinkt und daß die Geschwindigkeitskonstante des Kettenabbruchs umgekehrt proportional der Viskosität und vollkommen unabhängig vom Polymerisationsgrad der Polymerradikale ist.Eine Deutung der Radikalausbeute wird im Rahmen des Käfigeffektes versucht. Der Befund über den Kettenabbruch wird durch einen Modellmechanismus erklärt, der eine praktisch unbehinderte gegenseitige Durchdringung der Polymermoleküle bei der Selbstdiffusion voraussetzt.

Published: December 2010

AbstractBACKGROUND: Conotruncal anomalies are often associated with abnormal coronary arteries. Although bis‐diamine is known to induce conotruncal defects, its pathological effects on coronary vascular development have not been demonstrated. This study sought to assess the teratogenic effects of bis‐diamine on coronary vascular development and the pathogenesis of this anomalous association. METHODS AND RESULTS: A single 200 mg dose of bis‐diamine was administered to pregnant Wistar rats at 10.5 days of gestation. Fifty‐two embryos from 10 mother rats underwent morphological analysis of the coronary arteries. Three embryos each were removed from four mothers on embryonic days (ED) 14.5, 15.5, 16.5, and 17.5 and used for immunohistochemical studies using the anti‐vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)‐1 antibody. Conotruncal anomalies were detected in 48 of 52 embryos, and an aplastic or hypoplastic left coronary artery was found in all of them. In control embryos at ED 16.5, VCAM‐1‐positive epicardial cells were transformed into mesenchymal cells in vascular plexus, which appeared to differentiate into the endothelial cells of coronary vasculature. In the heart at ED 17.5, coronary vasculature was well developed and connected with coronary ostia near the aorta. However, poor epicardial–mesenchymal transformation and subsequent differentiation was revealed in bis‐diamine‐treated embryos at EDs 16.5 and 17.5, causing abnormal development of the coronary vasculature and incomplete connections with coronary ostia of the aorta. CONCLUSIONS: Anomalous coronary arteries in the bis‐diamine‐treated embryos are induced by the disruption of epicardial–mesenchymal transformation and subsequent poor development of coronary vasculature. Incomplete hatching of the coronary ostium is associated with abnormal truncal division. Birth Defects Res (Part B) 92:10–16, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2010

Abstract

Background
The role of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in patients with (infected) necrotizing pancreatitis was evaluated.

Methods
A systematic literature search was performed. Inclusion criteria were: consecutive cohort of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis undergoing PCD as primary treatment for peripancreatic collections; indication for PCD either (suspected) infected necrosis or symptomatic sterile pancreatic necrosis; and outcomes reported to include percentage of infected peripancreatic collections, need for additional surgical necrosectomy, complications and deaths. Exclusion criteria were: cohort of fewer than five patients; cohort included patients with chronic pancreatitis; selected subgroup of patients with acute pancreatitis studied, such as those with pseudocysts, pancreatic abscesses and/or exclusively sterile pancreatic necrosis; and cohort in which PCD was combined with another minimally invasive strategy and results for PCD alone not reported separately.

Results
Eleven studies, including 384 patients, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Only one study was a randomized controlled trial; most others were retrospective case series. Four studies reported on the presence of organ failure before PCD; this occurred in 67·2 per cent of 116 patients. Infected necrosis was proven in 271 (70·6 per cent) of 384 patients. No additional surgical necrosectomy was required after PCD in 214 (55·7 per cent) of 384 patients. Complications consisted mostly of internal and external pancreatic fistulas. The overall mortality rate was 17·4 per cent (67 of 384 patients). Nine of 11 studies reported mortality separately for patients with infected necrosis undergoing PCD; the mortality rate in this group was 15·4 per cent (27 of 175).

Conclusion
A considerable number of patients can be treated with PCD without the need for surgical necrosectomy.
Sustainable Performance with Values‐Based Shared Leadership: A Case Study of a Virtuous Organization

Published: December 2010

AbstractThis article presents a qualitative case study of Herman Miller Inc., a “Virtuous Organization” and leading innovator and manufacturer in the business furniture industry. It adds to the literature by examining the role shared leadership can play in fostering sustainable performance in one organization that has a track record of virtuous organizational behaviour and long‐term success. Herman Miller has survived and thrived in the face of multiple setbacks. Our findings suggest two primary values potentially moderate the relationship between shared leadership and sustainable performance: (a) an ongoing creative process, and (b) recognition of every organization member as a valuable resource. We propose a conceptual model and offer preliminary qualitative evidence supporting key components and relationships implied by the model. Copyright © 2010 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
