Issues and trends in the accreditation of school psychology programs in the United States
Authors: Prus Joseph S. , Strein William 
Published: September 2011

AbstractProgram accreditation, which serves as a designator of quality based on a review by colleagues external to the institution using standards established by the profession, is playing an increasingly important role in the preparation and credentialing of school psychologists. Doctoral school psychology programs often seek accreditation by the American Psychological Association (APA), which impacts graduate eligibility for an independent practice license in many states. Most specialist and doctoral programs also seek recognition by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which impacts graduate eligibility for national certification and eligibility for a credential to practice in the schools in many states. APA and NASP recognition standards and requirements are discussed and compared. The graduate preparation standards and associated documentation requirements of these two organizations differ in some important respects, but have many commonalities. Both have been impacted by an increasing emphasis in higher education on assessment and documentation of outcomes (vs. inputs and processes), requiring more comprehensive aggregation and use of data for program evaluation and improvement. Despite such requirements, an increasing number of school psychology programs have sought and achieved recognition by APA and/or NASP. The authors discuss possible future trends in accreditation, including a continued move toward outcomes‐based assessment, more emphasis on the use of external quality indicators, increased use of technology in both training and documentation, and a greater need for collaboration among higher education faculty, programs, and accrediting organizations. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Incorporation of ketone groups into poly(4‐hydroxystyrene)s main chain by radical copolymerization of 2,2‐diphenyl‐4‐methylene‐1,3‐dioxorane with O‐protected hydroxystyrenes and their photodegradable behavior

AbstractHere we report the incorporation of ketone groups into poly(4‐hydroxystyrene)s main chain by radical copolymerization of O‐protected hydroxystyrenes such as 4‐ethoxyethoxystyrene and 4‐acetoxystyrene with 2,2‐diphenyl‐4‐methylene‐1,3‐dioxorane (DPMD) followed by removal of the protective groups and the photodegradable behavior of obtained copolymers. The copolymerization of O‐protected hydroxystyrenes with DPMD gave the corresponding copolymers bearing DMPD‐derived ketone groups in the main chain, of which content could be controlled by changing monomer feed ratio. The ethoxyethyl and acetyl groups of the obtained copolymers were completely removed under acidic and basic conditions, respectively, to afford poly(4‐hydroxystyrene)s having ketone moieties in the main chain. The molecular weights of these copolymers decreased under photoirradiation due to the Norrish‐type reactions of the ketone groups distributed in the main chain. These results demonstrate that poly(4‐hydroxystyrene)s having ketone groups in the main chain possess good photo‐scissibility. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011
Planning system characteristics and planning effectiveness
Authors: Ramanujam Vasudevan , Venkatraman N. 
Published: September 2011

AbstractThe nature of the multivariate relationship between six characteristics of planning systems and three different conceptualizations of planning effectiveness is examined using canonical correlation analysis. The analysis indicates that the organizational context of planning—captured here by two key characteristics—resistance to planning and resources provided for planning—is the dominant impact on planning system effectiveness, broadly construed. While individual design elements of the planning system such as use of techniques and external orientation do influence effectiveness, the contextual dimensions appear to be overriding. Implications for further research on planning systems and directions for future extensions of this study are discussed.
Extending UML to model Web 2.0‐based context‐aware applications
Authors: Hsu I‐Ching 
Published: September 2011

SUMMARYWeb 2.0 Mashups offer entirely new opportunities for context‐aware application (CAA) developers by integrating Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate interoperability among heterogeneous context‐aware systems. From a software engineering perspective, a visualized approach for Web 2.0‐based CAA modeling is crucial. Current CAA development, however, cannot provide a conceptual model for Web 2.0‐based CAA. Therefore, the development efficiency and potential for reuse are decreased. The UML is a general purpose modeling language with potential for use in many application domains. However, UML often lacks elements needed to model concepts in specific domains, such as Web 2.0‐based CAA modeling. To address the above issues, this study presents the Web 2.0‐based CAA UML profile, a UML profile for modeling Web 2.0‐based CAA. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

RésuméLa globozoospermie est une forme sévère de tératozoospermie caractérisée par des spermatozoïdes à tête ronde avec absence ou présence d’un acrosome rudimentaire. L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les spermatozoïdes de six patients présentant un syndrome de globozoospermie et de rendre compte de l’inefficacité de plusieurs tentatives de fécondation in vitro avec ICSI. L’exploration de ces sujets a été réalisée par l’étude du taux d’aneuploïdies spermatiques par hybridation in situ fluorescente (sperm-FISH) pour les chromosomes X, Y et 18, du taux de fragmentation d’ADN par la technique TUNEL ainsi que par l’étude ultrastructurale détaillée de la morphologie spermatique en utilisant la microscopie électronique à transmission (MET). Onze tentatives d’ICSI ont été réalisées chez ces patients, avec un taux de fécondation faible (9,37 %), et aucune grossesse n’a été obtenue. Cette étude a permis de confirmer la variabilité des phénotypes spermatiques observés dans ce syndrome et de faible taux de fécondation après FIV-ICSI, et ce, quel que soit le phénotype.
The understanding of scurvy during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration
Authors: Guly Henry 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTAt the start of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration there was great confusion concerning the cause of scurvy. It was known that it was related, in some way, to food but it was uncertain as to how, and there were two main theories. The first was that it was caused by a deficiency of fruit and vegetables and the other that it was caused by a toxic material in tinned foods. In addition, older theories that it was caused by dirt and damp still carried weight and Almroth Wright had proposed that scurvy was caused by too much acid in the blood. An additional confusion was that vitamin C deficiency was often combined with other vitamin deficiencies and so other diseases might be labelled as scurvy. The discovery of vitamins occurred over the same period but, as with all new scientific concepts, the knowledge that scurvy was caused by a vitamin deficiency took time to be universally accepted. It was generally accepted by about 1920, although some people did not accept it until vitamin C has been isolated in 1932.
Identifying hotspots of chimpanzee group activity from transect surveys in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire

Abstract:Locating activity hotspots – areas of higher density, more intense use, or distinct social units – is a prerequisite for answering many questions in animal ecology. However, for many species, carrying out such research from direct observations in tropical habitat is time-consuming and unrealistic for non-habituated animals. This study aimed to locate chimpanzee home ranges from transect nest counts. For validation purposes, 233 line transects were sampled within the home ranges of four habituated social groups of chimpanzees in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire. In total, 373 km of transects were surveyed over 188 days and 683 nests of chimpanzee were recorded. First, we characterized heterogeneity of nest distribution patterns, including variation in density and group size within the area. Second, we used scan statistics, a likelihood-based cluster technique to locate chimpanzee social groups and compared them with the known home range boundaries. Chimpanzee nest distribution was characterized by a positive density and group-size gradient away from the range periphery. Furthermore, nest distribution clusters corresponding to the four groups could be successfully identified, although additional clusters for, for example, low-density areas between social groups seem to be an unavoidable by-product. The approach taken can be extended to a wide spectrum of data stemming from direct observations, camera traps, acoustic or genetic sampling to derive information about structure and patchiness of wild animal populations.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark and the Multicultural Challenges
Authors: Haugen Hans Morten 
Published: September 2011

AbstractChristianity and Danishness are mutually reinforcing phenomena in Denmark. Three factors applying specifically to Denmark explain this: first, the lack of national representative bodies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark; second, the journalTidehverv(“New Era”) has nurtured a conservative and nationalistic Christian ethics among parts of the Danish clergy; and third, Danish politicians' abuse of the links between Christianity and Danishness as a tool in their anti-immigration strategies.
Identifiers.org and MIRIAM Registry: perennial identifiers for crossreferencing purposes
Authors: Laibe Camille 
Published: September 2011

AbstractThe MIRIAM Registry provides unique, perennial and location independent identifiers for data used in the biomedical domain. At its core is a shared catalogue of data collections, for each of which a unique namespace is created, and extensive metadata recorded. This namespace allows the generation of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to uniquely identify any record in a collection. We present here the new Identifiers.org service which is built upon the information stored in the Registry and which provides directly resolvable identifiers, in the form of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). The flexibility of the identification scheme and resolving system allows its use in many different fields, where unambiguous and perennial identification of data entities is necessary.
The Chronograms of Khaqani
Authors: Vil'Čevskij O.L. 
Published: September 2011

As with the majority of great national figures of the Middle Ages, we know relatively little about the facts, and, in particular, about the dates of the life of the major Persian language poet of the twelfth century, ode-writer to the Shirvānshāhs, son of a carpenter of Shirvān, Afẓāl al-dīn Ibrāhīm Khāqānī.A brief sketch of the biographical information concerning the poet, which was compiled from oriental sources by N. Khanikoff almost a century ago, was then somewhat expanded and supplemented by K. G. Zaleman. With some insignificant variations and additions, this sunmary was then reproduced in all the works on Khāqānī up to our day. The question of the role of Transcaucasian elements In the works of Khāqānī was raised in the study carried out by Ju. N. Marr, in cooperation with K. I. Chajkin, during the last year of his life. Following the excellent tradition of V. A. Žukovskij, both sought first of all to extract bibliographical material from the poet's divan itself.
HELIUM LINE DETECTIONS FROM EXTENDED LOW-DENSITY WARM-IONIZED MEDIUM AT 1.4 GHz
Authors: Baddi Raju 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACT
Helium line observations toward 11 Galactic positions using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) have been reported. These observations were made toward nearby positions where hydrogen lines had already been detected at sufficiently high intensity (⩾50 mK) at 1.4 GHz. This approach provided a fair chance of detecting helium lines as well, keeping in mind the relative abundance (10%) of helium with respect to hydrogen. Care was also taken to avoid the presence of H ii regions along the line of sight so that the line emission originated from the extended low-density warm-ionized medium (ELDWIM) of the Galaxy. The observations resulted in the detection of helium lines toward 5 positions out of 11 with a signal-to-noise ratio > 4σ. An attempt has been made to associate detection/non-detection of helium lines with the presence of surrounding H ii regions. A weighting scheme that accounts for nearby (<500 pc) H ii
regions, their distances, and other factors produces favorable results. It is seen from this weighting scheme that a higher weight favors the detection of helium lines, while a lower weight is associated with non-detection. The idea is to correlate ionization of ELDWIM with the surrounding H ii regions.

AbstractHinrichsen, H-H., Huwer, B., Makarchouk, A., Petereit, C., Schaber, M., and Voss, R. 2011. Climate-driven long-term trends in Baltic Sea oxygen concentrations and the potential consequences for eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 2019–2028. Variations in oxygen conditions in the Baltic are influenced by several mechanisms. Generally, the frequency and magnitude of major inflows have been identified as the most crucial process for the renewal of oxygen-depleted water masses in the Baltic Sea. Furthermore, enhanced degradation of suspended organic matter by bacteria over the past few decades has increased oxygen consumption. Finally, the effects of large-scale climate warming are causing long-term variations in oxygen content and saturation as an observed increase in temperature has led to a general decrease in oxygen solubility of water masses. Oxygen-dependent relationships based on field data and laboratory experiments were used to analyse the impact of the observed decrease in oxygen content on eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) stock-specific processes (e.g. survival rates of eggs, settlement probability of juveniles, habitat utilization of spawning fish, age structure of successful spawners, food consumption rates of adult fish). The observed long-term decline in oxygen conditions in the Baltic Sea has had a seemingly generally negative impact on oxygen-related processes for the different life stages of eastern Baltic cod. Experimentally derived results of oxygen-driven processes were validated by field data.

Published: September 2011

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2011; 34: 1318–1327SummaryBackground  Anti‐tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies are used to treat both psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease. The seemingly paradoxical occurrence of psoriasis in patients treated with anti‐TNF antibodies is increasingly recognised, but the distinct features associated with inflammatory bowel disease have been incompletely characterised.Aim  To identify inflammatory bowel disease patients who developed psoriasis while receiving an anti‐TNF antibody at two academic medical centres between 2000 and 2009 and review all published cases of this phenomenon in inflammatory bowel disease.Methods  We identified retrospectively all cases of anti‐TNF‐induced psoriasis in inflammatory bowel disease patients attending two North American healthcare centres. We analysed these cases alongside the published reports of anti‐TNF‐induced psoriasis.Results  We identified 30 subjects who developed a psoriatic rash while receiving anti‐TNF therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. Forty‐seven per cent (14/30) responded to topical therapy and 23% (7/30) ultimately discontinued the anti‐TNF. The new data were combined with those from 120 published cases of anti‐TNF‐induced psoriasis in inflammatory bowel disease. Anti‐TNF‐induced psoriasis in inflammatory bowel disease was more common in women (70%). The most common distributions were palmoplantar (43%) and scalp (42%). Complete follow‐up in 148 cases showed that 41% responded to topical therapy but 43% required definitive withdrawal of anti‐TNF therapy due to the rash. A second anti‐TNF was tried in 27 cases with recurrence or persistence of the rash in 14 (52%).Conclusions  In this analysis, psoriasiform lesions related to anti‐TNF therapy in inflammatory bowel disease occurred most commonly in women. Approximately 41% of those who developed psoriasis while on anti‐TNFs responded to topical therapy and were able to continue the drug, while 52% of those treated with an alternate anti‐TNF had recurrence of the rash.

SummaryIn sporulating Bacillus, major processes like virulence gene expression and sporulation are regulated by communication systems involving signalling peptides and regulators of the RNPP family. We investigated the role of one such regulator, NprR, in bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group. We show that NprR is a transcriptional regulator whose activity depends on the NprX signalling peptide. In association with NprX, NprR activates the transcription of an extracellular protease gene (nprA) during the first stage of the sporulation process. The transcription start site of the nprA gene has been identified and the minimal region necessary for full activation has been characterized by promoter mutagenesis. We demonstrate that the NprX peptide is secreted, processed and then reimported within the bacterial cell. Once inside the cell, the mature form of NprX, presumably the SKPDIVG heptapeptide, directly binds to NprR allowing nprA transcription. Alignment of available NprR sequences from different species of the B. cereus group defines seven NprR clusters associated with seven NprX heptapeptide classes. This cell–cell communication system was found to be strain‐specific with a possible cross‐talk between some pherotypes. The phylogenic relationship between NprR and NprX suggests a coevolution of the regulatory protein and its signalling peptide.

Published: September 2011

SummaryMismatch repair (MMR) corrects DNA polymerase errors occurring during genome replication. MMR is critical for genome maintenance, and its loss increases mutation rates several hundred fold. Recent work has shown that the interaction between the mismatch recognition protein MutS and the replication processivity clamp is important for MMR in Bacillus subtilis. To further understand how MMR is coupled to DNA replication, we examined the subcellular localization of MMR and DNA replication proteins fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) in live cells, following an increase in DNA replication errors. We demonstrate that foci of the essential DNA polymerase DnaE–GFP decrease following mismatch incorporation and that loss of DnaE–GFP foci requires MutS. Furthermore, we show that MutS and MutL bind DnaE in vitro, suggesting that DnaE is coupled to repair. We also found that DnaE–GFP foci decrease in vivo following a DNA damage‐independent arrest of DNA synthesis showing that loss of DnaE–GFP foci is caused by perturbations to DNA replication. We propose that MutS directly contacts the DNA replication machinery, causing a dynamic change in the organization of DnaE at the replication fork during MMR. Our results establish a striking and intimate connection between MMR and the replicating DNA polymerase complex in vivo.

AbstractObjective  To describe the histologic features of canine distichiasis using excised tarsoconjunctival specimens that included roots of distichiatic cilia.Procedures  The study group included 21 strips of cilia‐bearing tarsoconjunctiva resected from 20 dogs with distichiasis. Eyelid tissue specimens were also collected from 11 euthanized dogs without distichiasis to serve as controls. All flat mount preparations were processed for histologic examination, and serial sections were stained with hematoxylin‐eosin (H&E). A total of 157 slides were examined for the study group to describe the follicles and path of the distichiatic hairs and determine their potential connection with the tarsal glands. A total of 82 slides were examined for the control group.Results  In 19 of the 20 dogs with distichiasis, serial sections of the specimens identified anatomic segments of hair follicles located abnormally in the eyelid tarsus and associated with the aberrant cilia. They appeared as hair bulbs adjacent to tarsal glands, middle portions of hair follicles located between sebaceous lobules, and single or multiple hair shafts present within the sebaceous duct. The tarsal glands in the cilia‐bearing tarsoconjunctiva were not different from those of the controls, in which no distichiatic hair bulbs or shafts were observed.Conclusions  These results demonstrate that adventitious cilia are not associated with histologic changes of the tarsal glands, and appear to arise from ectopic hair follicles present in the tarsus. Canine distichiasis may result from anomalous regulation of morphogenesis of hair follicles in the mesenchymal tissue of the tarsal plate.
