Authors: Neuman Mark I. , Monuteaux Michael C. , Scully Kevin J. , Bachur Richard G. 
Published: July 2011

OBJECTIVE:
To study the association between historical and physical examination findings and radiographic pneumonia in children who present with suspicion for pneumonia in the emergency department, and to develop a clinical decision rule for the use of chest radiography.

METHODS:
We conducted a prospective cohort study in an urban pediatric emergency department of patients younger than 21 who had a chest radiograph performed for suspicion of pneumonia (n = 2574). Pneumonia was categorized into 2 groups on the basis of an attending radiologist interpretation of the chest radiograph: radiographic pneumonia (includes definite and equivocal cases of pneumonia) and definite pneumonia. We estimated a multivariate logistic regression model with pneumonia status as the dependent variable and the historical and physical examination findings as the independent variables. We also performed a recursive partitioning analysis.

RESULTS:
Sixteen percent of patients had radiographic pneumonia. History of chest pain, focal rales, duration of fever, and oximetry levels at triage were significant predictors of pneumonia. The presence of tachypnea, retractions, and grunting were not associated with pneumonia. Hypoxia (oxygen saturation ≤92%) was the strongest predictor of pneumonia (odds ratio: 3.6 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.0–6.8]). Recursive partitioning analysis revealed that among subjects with O2 saturation &gt;92%, no history of fever, no focal decreased breath sounds, and no focal rales, the rate of radiographic pneumonia was 7.6% (95% CI: 5.3–10.0) and definite pneumonia was 2.9% (95% CI: 1.4–4.4).

CONCLUSION:
Historical and physical examination findings can be used to risk stratify children for risk of radiographic pneumonia.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine in a randomized trial the impact on treatment outcome after 12 months of different subgingival irrigation solutions during scaling and root planing (SRP).Methods: Fifty‐one adult volunteers with generalized chronic periodontitis were treated by full‐mouth SRP using 0.9% sodium chloride, 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, or 7.5% povidone–iodine for subgingival irrigation during SRP. Before SRP and after 3 and 12 months, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded. Subgingival plaque samples were analyzed for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola.Results: PD, CAL, and BOP were significantly improved in all groups after 12 months (P <0.001 to P = 0.044). No significant differences were seen among the groups for all sites and sites with 4 to 6 mm PD at baseline. The povidone–iodine group had the highest clinical improvements. The counts of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were significantly reduced after 12 months (P = 0.045 and P = 0.002) using povidone–iodine. Significant differences between the groups were seen after 3 months for A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis, and after 12 months for T. forsythia.Conclusions: No differences were seen among the groups in the clinical results after 12 months. Regarding the microbiologic results, a slight benefit seemed to derive from the use of povidone–iodine.

Published: July 2011

Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Counties with higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified food manager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

Recorded lag times of snowmelt events in a small catchment
The hydrological and meteorological data collected in small, lowland catchment during snowmelt floods have been used to calculate lag time of runoff (Lag) and lag time of sediment yield (Lags). Both, Lag and Lags are important characteristics of the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) and instantaneous unit sedimentgraph (IUSG). Field data from Zagożdżonka River catchment have been used to demonstrate the relationship between lag times. The results of investigation show that: a) there is a strong relationship between Lag and Lags; b) in most cases the value of a = Lags/Lag is smaller than 1; c) in case of snowmelt floods there was only poor correlation between parameter a and the total runoff depth (water supply).

Effect of hydrogel on the turf grass species growing under salt stress
Hydrogels can absorb huge amount of water and so are able to decrease the drought stress in plants. They are used in horticulture and agriculture for years. It is possible that they may be applied also on the grass near - road areas. Because of water deficient and high salinity growth of plants in these conditions is however hard. Meanwhile, too high concentration of ions in soil can decrease efficacy of hydrogel, since it can absorb water and cations as well. Nevertheless there is still too less studies on such problem. From this point of view it seems that the complex assessment of hydrogels effect on urban lawn grass is needed. The aim of the study was therefore the evaluation of grasses condition after their cultivation under salt stress with and without hydrogels amendment. Experience was conducted for four months in the controlled green house conditions. The efficacy of hydrogels amendment was measured by the grass reactions (turfs height, fresh matter content and level of membranes injury) on three levels of salinity. The results allowed concluding that, concentration of the road de- icing salt was the main factor, which affected condition of all tested species. This reaction was independent on the presence of hydrogel. Nevertheless under low and medium saline conditions watersorbent weakened significantly influence of salt stress on the grass.

Nutrient output from rural areas on the example of two catchments Skuterud and Zagożdżonka
In this paper, two rural catchment - the Zagożdżonka catchment in Poland and the Skuterud catchment in Aas, Akershus county in Norway are compared. In addition to the general description, more in particular information, runoff, N-NO3 load, P-PO4 load, total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations in streams are compared. The data compared are from 1993 to 1995 in Zagożdżonka catchment and from 1994-1996 from Skuterud catchment. The average concentration of N-NO3 in Zagożdżonka River in the period was 0.85 mg·l-1 and the mean concentration of P-PO4 was 0.13 mg·l-1. In the stream in Skuterud catchment the average concentration of N-NO3 was 4.95 mg·l-1 and the mean concentration of P-PO4 was 0.04 mg·l-1. For both catchments the same data were also compared for the 2008. In Skuterud catchment the highest concentration of nutrients occurred in November, March and April, which was connected to the higher runoff from agricultural areas during the snowmelt period. In Zagożdżonka catchment the highest concentration of nutrients was noted in March, April and in summer time, which was connected to periods with high amounts of precipitation. Comparison of the two rural catchments showed many differences in applied measurement methods for water sampling, water measurement, discharge measurement, runoff amounts and management practices, which had an effect on results of monitoring program. The compared data can be useful to predict the development of future environmental conditions for example water quality. It can also be useful for predict how nutrient runoff will be in future. What is more the different conditions for runoff in Skuterud and Zagożdżonka then different measures are needed.

Analysis of distribution patterns of selected ephemeral wetland species in Western Pomerania (NW Poland, NE Germany)
Phytogeographical conditions of the occurrence of 13 selected ephemeral wetland species of the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea class in Western Pomerania are analysed and discussed on the basis of distribution in Western Pomerania (maps are provided), distribution in Europe, general distribution range, taxonomic relations and palynological data. Present distribution patterns of the analysed taxa in Western Pomerania can thus be permanent not for a very long time and reflect the history of the settling of Pomerania by these species.

Dynamics of the aquatic nesting bird populations in the mixed colonies from Vulpaşu, Chiriloaia and Cucova (Balta Mică a Brăilei Nature Park, Romania)
This study presents the observations made during a three-year period of time (2007-2009) in the three mixed colonies of the Balta Mică a Brăilei Nature Park: Vulpaşu, Chiriloaia and Cucova. In the colonies, there was reported a number of ten aquatic nesting species, with specific differences for each colony separately. The 10 species are: Phalacrocorax carbo (Great Cormorant), Phalacrocorax pygmaeus (Pygmy Cormorant), Nycticorax nycticorax (Night Heron), Ardeola ralloides (Squacco Heron), Egretta garzetta (Little Egret), Egretta alba (Great White Egret), Bubulcus ibis (Cattle Egret), Ardea cinerea (Grey Heron), Plegadis falcinellus (Glossy Ibis) and Platalea leucorodia (Spoonbill). The presence or absence of certain species in a colony is closely related to its ecological requirements, with the structural features of the ecosystems and the climatic conditions.
Towards redefining the regional division of Poland for faunistic studies

Towards redefining the regional division of Poland for faunistic studies
For summaries and inventories of fauna of Poland, especially insects, research professionals and amateurs apply a division of the country into regions that became a functional standard in the 1960s when Catalogus Faunae Poloniae was published. Despite its long tradition in the local entomological literature, this approach should be treated as inadequate and provisional. The present article gives an overview of the roots of the traditional division, discusses its limitations and proposes a new, more precise and informative division, together with a description of the requirements and tools needed for the transition. Based on the "Physico-Geographical Regionalization of Poland" by Kondracki, this proposal redefines the borders of most of the KFP regions and presents a solution compatible with the widely used regionalization system, approved by geographers. In consequence of this direct connection with physical geography, some of the KFP regions have been removed or rearranged and new ones formed. The new system is not meant to be treated as a zoogeographical regionalization; rather, it aims to replace the unclearly defined objects of the old division, facilitating regional comparisons of fauna. Used with appropriate caution, it may also be helpful in analyses involving elements of biogeographical inference that were not justified in the old system.

Tradition et modernité dans les kanshi de l'époque d'Edo : un poème d'Ôkubo Shibutsu
Authors: Parvulesco-Oya Marguerite-Marie 
Published: July 2011

Le rapprochement arbitraire d'un kanshi des premières années du XIXème siècle et d'un poème français du XXème siècle peu, de façon inattendue, aider à l'élaboration d'une traduction, en éclairant certaines contradictions inhérentes à tout essai de traduction, mais surtout, il se justifie s'il peut rendre les kanshi plus proches et montrer ainsi qu'ils sont beaucoup plus accessibles, et intéressants, qu'on ne l'imagine en sachant qu'ils sont écrits dans une langue savante, difficile, très éloignée de la langue parlée.
Il ne s'agit dans ce bref article, ni de comparer deux poètes qui s'ignorent réciproquement, ni de juger un poème en fonction de sa modernité, terme séduisant mais dont la définition même soulève de nombreuses questions. Simplement, il nous semble que la confrontation d'un kanshi d'Ôkubo Shibutsu avec un poème français contemporain, non seulement permet de mieux comprendre ce qui fait l'originalité des kanshi japonais, mais de plus, peut devenir source de réflexions fructueuses sur des problèmes généraux de théorie poétique.
Introduction: Les programmes globaux japonais : le projet Ordinateurs de cinquième génération et ses contextes
Authors: Rieu Alain-Marc , Morizet-Mahoudeaux Pierre 
Published: July 2011

L'objectif est de présenter un bilan du projet Ordinateurs de cinquième génération (FGCS) intégrant les interprétations et les évaluations dont il fut l'objet. Un secteur essentiel de l'histoire récente du Japon se trouve ainsi analysé.
L'étude est divisée en deux parties. La première cherche à distinguer et associer les différents contextes permettant d'expliquer pourquoi et comment un secteur de l'administration japonaise, le M1TI, a reinterprete sa fonction à partir des années 1980 par le développement de programmes de recherche techno-scientifiques. La dernière étape de cette mutation s'opère dans un environnement radicalement différent, mettant en cause les effets escomptés.
La deuxième partie est un bilan du projet FCCS établi à partir des documents de présentation, d'analyse et de synthèse publiés lors de son démarrage, en cours et en fin d'exécution. Elle commence par un compte-rendu de la genèse, du déroulement, du contenu et des résultats scientifiques et techniques du projet. Deux livres ayant profondément marqué le projet FGCS sont présentés, celui de E. Feigenbaum & P. McCorduck (1983) et dans celui de M. Fransman (1990), les chapitres qui lui sont consacrés.
