Children's aggressive behaviour and teacher–child conflict in kindergarten: Is teacher perceived control over child behaviour a mediating variable/
Authors: Doumen Sarah , Verschueren Karine , Buyse Evelien 
Published: June 2009

Background Research repeatedly showed young children's aggressive behaviour to predict relationship difficulties with the teacher.Aims To examine a possible mediating variable in this process and in the stability of relationship difficulties across the school year, namely teacher perceived control over child behaviour.Sample The sample consisted of 139 Belgian kindergartners and their teachers.Method Data were collected throughout kindergarten at three measurement occasions: children's aggressive behaviour was measured by means of a peer nomination procedure during the first trimester, teacher perceived control over child behaviour was assessed by means of a teacher questionnaire during the second trimester, and teacher–child conflict was measured by means of a teacher questionnaire during the first and third trimesters. Correlations among all study variables were calculated and different models were estimated and compared by means of structural equation modelling.Results Teacher perceived control completely mediated the relationship between aggressive behaviour and teacher–child conflict (after controlling for the concurrent association between aggressive behaviour and conflict, and the stability of conflict). In addition, teacher perceived control accounted for part of the stability in conflict across the school year.Conclusions Teacher perceived control over child behaviour has been found to act as a mediating mechanism between child aggressive behaviour and teacher–child conflict at the beginning of kindergarten and teacher–child conflict at the end of the year.
Variation in Genomic Recombination Rates Among Heterogeneous Stock Mice
Authors: Dumont Beth L , Broman Karl W , Payseur Bret A 
Published: June 2009

Abstract
We used a large panel of pedigreed, genetically admixed house mice to study patterns of recombination rate variation in a leading mammalian model system. We found considerable inter-individual differences in genomic recombination rates and documented a significant heritable component to this variation. These findings point to clear variation in recombination rate among common laboratory strains, a result that carries important implications for genetic analysis in the house mouse.

Prevalence and Associated Factors for Thoracic Spine Pain in the Adult Working Population: A Literature Review: Andrew M. Briggs, et al. School of Physiotherapy, Curtin University of Technology, AustraliaObjectivesSpinal pain is a significant occupational health issue. Whilst neck pain and low back pain have received considerable attention, thoracic spinal pain (TSP) has not. The objective of this study was to systematically identify and report the evidence describing the prevalence and correlates of TSP within occupational groups.MethodsThis literature review systematically searched for reports of TSP prevalence and associated factors for TSP in working adult cohorts using nine electronic databases. Studies were evaluated for level of evidence and epidemiologic data were narratively synthesised.Results52 studies were identified describing 65 cohorts covering manual labourers, office workers, health professionals, manufacturing and industrial workers, drivers, military personnel and performing artists. Prevalence varied with occupational group and time period. One year prevalence of TSP ranged from 3.0–55.0%, with most occupational groups having medians around 30%. Significant odds ratios for individual (concurrent musculoskeletal disorders, exercising, pre‐menstrual tension and female gender), general work‐related (high work load, high work intensity, perceiving ergonomic problems in the workplace, working in some specialised areas, performing boring/tedious work tasks, certain year levels of study, employment duration, driving specialised vehicles, and a high number of flying hours), physical work‐related (manual physiotherapy tasks, climbing stairs and high physical stress) and psychosocial work‐related (perceived risk of injury and high mental pressure) factors were reported.ConclusionsThe high median prevalence rates suggest TSP may be a significant occupational health problem. The multiple domains of associated factors point to the need for prospective research encompassing these domains to inform targeted occupational interventions.

Effects of a Modified Ambulance Night Shift System on Fatigue and Physiological Function among Ambulance Paramedics: Hidemaro Takeyama, et al. Faculty of Human Wellness, Department of Registered Dietitians, Tokaigakuen UniversityObjectivesIn the present study, we modified a night shift system for an ambulance service so that ambulance paramedics were assured of taking a nap, and examined the effects of this new system on the fatigue and physiological function of ambulance paramedics.MethodsTen ambulance paramedics at a fire station in the center of a large city in Japan voluntarily enrolled as subjects in this field study. They worked a 24‐h shift system. There were two teams of 5 ambulance paramedics in the fire station. Three ambulance paramedics per shift usually provided the emergency services. In the traditional system, the ambulance paramedics had to deal with all emergency calls throughout a 24‐h shift (T‐shift). In the modified system, 2 ambulance paramedics were allotted time for naps in the 21:00–3:00 (C‐shift) or 3:00–8:30 (Bshift) shift by the addition of another a firefighter (Dshift).ResultsThere were fewer emergency dispatches and nap time was longer in the B‐ and Cshifts than in the T‐shift. Parasympathetic nerve activities during naps in B‐ and C‐shifts were higher than in the T‐shift. The results of critical flicker fusion frequency and 3‐choice reaction time in the B‐shift at 7:30 tended to be higher and shorter than that in Tshift.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that the modified night shift which ensured time for ambulance paramedics to take long, restful power naps alleviated subjective fatigue, and improved physiological function which are often adversely affected by night workload.

Self‐reported Health among Employees in Relation to Sex Segregation at Work Sites: Pia Svedberg, et al. Section of Personal Injury Prevention, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, SwedenObjectivesDespite the high level of sex segregation of the labour market in Sweden and other countries, there is little knowledge on the association between sex segregation and ill‐health. The aim of this study was to study associations between self‐reported ill‐health among women and men and the level of numerical sex segregation at their work sites and psychosocial work conditions.MethodsA cross‐sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 10,000 employed persons in the County of Östergötland, Sweden. The questionnaire covered the level of numerical sex segregation at the work site, work organisation and conditions, ill‐health, and demography. The proportions of individuals at sex‐integrated and sex‐segregated work sites reporting frequent ill‐health symptoms were calculated and compared using Chi‐square test statistics. Prevalence's of physical and psychosocial work aspects were calculated. Logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between sex segregation and other aspects of the work situation and health.ResultsAmong the men, 69% worked at male‐dominated work sites, 16% at female‐dominated, and 15% at sex‐integrated work sites. Among the women, the equivalent rates were 8%, 75%, and 17%, respectively. Sex segregation was associated with all self‐reported ill‐health symptoms among the men, also when controlling for possible confounders. Other variables that were associated with self‐reported illhealth symptoms were demands at work, negative expectations, and sickness presence.ConclusionsThe present study generates sufficient findings to suggest that the link between sex segregation at work sites and ill‐health is an important area that merits further attention.
Kidney Function and Estimated Vascular Risk in Patients with Primary Dyslipidemia
Authors: Tziomalos Konstantinos , Ganotakis Emmanuel S , Gazi Irene F , Nair Devaki R , Mikhailidis Dimitri P 
Published: June 2009

Background:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased vascular risk. Some studies suggested that considering markers of CKD might improve the predictive accuracy of the Framingham risk equation.

Aim:
To evaluate the links between kidney function and risk stratification in patients with primary dyslipidemia.

Methods:
Dyslipidemic patients (n = 156; 83 men) who were non-smokers, did not have diabetes mellitus or evident vascular disease and were not on lipid-lowering or antihypertensive agents were recruited. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) was estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. We estimated vascular risk using the Framingham equation.

Results:
In both men and women, there was a significant negative correlation between estimated Framingham risk and both eGFR and CrCl (p < 0.001 for all correlations). When men were divided according to creatinine tertiles, there were no significant differences in any parameter between groups. When men were divided according to either eGFR or CrCl tertiles, all estimated Framingham risks significantly increased as renal function declined (p<0.001 for all trends). When women were divided according to creatinine tertiles, all estimated Framingham risks except for stroke significantly increased as creatinine levels increased. When women were divided according to either eGFR or CrCl tertiles, all estimated Framingham risks significantly increased as renal function declined.

Conclusions:
Estimated vascular risk increases as renal function declines. The possibility that incorporating kidney function in the Framingham equation will improve risk stratification requires further evaluation.
Le naufrage de la marine marchande française au XXe siecle
Authors: Berneron-Couvenhes Marie-Françoise 
Published: June 2009

Résumé L’étroite association des armateurs, des navigants et des pouvoirs publics a permis à la marine marchande française de surmonter les deux guerres mondiales mais a accentué les rigidités de cette branche et compromis sa capacité d’évolution. Le surcoût du pavillon français n’a pas été compensé par les innovations technologiques des années 1960 tandis que l’insuffisante concentration de l’armement a freiné les adaptations commerciales. Les chocs pétroliers de 1973 et 1979 l’ont précipité dans une crise sans précédent : en 2000, elle ne contrôle plus directement que 1 % du tonnage mondial. Son recul affaiblit la compétitivité du commerce extérieur français et des activités portuaires, et pose la question du rôle de l’État, qui s’est désengagé de ce secteur coûteux au cours des années 1990, tout en affirmant la nécessité du maintien d’un pavillon tricolore.
La science dans les pays non hégémoniques
Authors: Losego Philippe , Arvanitis Rigas 
Published: June 2009

Que signifie pays non hégémonique ? Ce dossier devait effectivement traiter des savoirs dans les pays « en développement ». Cependant, il s’efforce d’échapper à l’énumération convenue des stigmates (pauvreté, illettrisme, épidémies, faiblesse des investissements et des infrastructures, etc.) car ces pays ne sont pas nécessairement « pauvres » mais sont dominés dans la division internationale du travail scientifique faute d’instruments financiers capables d’influer sur les grandes tendances de la production de savoir dans le monde. Il porte sur des pays contraints par les échanges internationaux mais disposant de marges de manœuvre pour élaborer une politique à l’échelle nationale. Il montre que si la globalisation des échanges rend cette politique difficile, elle donne aussi une nouvelle légitimité. On assiste à une reprise en main de l’appareil scientifique par l’État au nom même de la mondialisation pour élaborer leurs propres politiques de R&D.

Le prédicant, hérétique et séditieux. De l'édit de Compiègne (1557) à l'édit de janvier (1562)
Authors: Durot Éric 
Published: June 2009

RÉSUMÉ La figure du prédicant telle qu’elle apparaît pour le pouvoir royal est définie clairement à partir de l’édit de Compiègne. Elle révèle un " singulier collectif " qui devient le principal vecteur des idées hérétiques et des scandales, un responsable d’actes de séditions et un individu sous les ordres des pasteurs de Genève. La construction de cette image repose sur la figure traditionnelle du faux prophète, largement remodelée par le contexte des années de genèse de la Réforme française. Entre 1557 et 1560, le " prédicant " traduit l’interprétation de la crise religieuse – et politique – du pouvoir royal, il envahit son champ de l’imaginaire et de son action politique, il est au cœur de tous les édits, répressifs comme d’apaisement. En 1561, après ce qui semble être un apogée de cette figure paradigmatique, la régence de Catherine de Médicis cherche à imposer une politique de concorde qui recompose la figure du prêcheur hétérodoxe, qui peut désormais être aussi un prédicateur catholique exclusiviste. Et, par l’édit de janvier 1562, elle promeut des prédicants calvinistes au statut de ministres de la Religion.
Guerres de religion ou guerres ethniques ? Les conflits religieux en Irlande, 1500-1650
Authors: O' Hannracháin Tadhg 
Published: June 2009

RÉSUMÉ Cet article traite de l’évolution des conflits religieux dans l’Irlande moderne, à partir de 1500 environ, jusqu’à la fin de l’Interrègne en 1660. Au début de la période, l’Irlande était extrêmement divisée d’un point de vue politique. D’un point de vue religieux, le monde de la chrétienté irlandaise était assez différent du modèle du catholicisme de la fin du Moyen ge. La Réforme en Irlande eut des origines presque entièrement étrangères. Le protestantisme attira peu de fidèles parmi la population irlandaise gaélique ou dans la communauté anglaise pré-élisabéthaine. Cet article souligne que la raison principale en fut la co ïncidence entre le changement religieux et l’édification de l’État Tudor en Irlande. Au début de l’époque Stuart, l’État anglais avait conquis toute l’île, mais l’Église d’État était extraordinairement impopulaire. Cependant, entre 1580 et 1641, une authentique identité protestante apparut en Irlande à la suite d’une immigration anglaise et écossaise à grande échelle. Favorisées par le gouvernement, ces populations connurent un succès économique rapide et s’arrogèrent le monopole de la détention des offices. L’église d’État, cependant, ne rencontrait qu’une audience limitée. La conquête de l’Irlande par les régicides victorieux de la seconde guerre civile déboucha sur un nombre élevé de victimes, une diminution massive de la propriété catholique et la destruction des élites urbaines catholiques. Considérés ensemble, ces événements des années 1640 et 1650 devaient avoir une influence décisive sur la nature des identités confessionnelles au cours des siècles suivants. La mémoire des attaques surprises des Catholiques contre les Protestants en 1641 forma la base d’une insistance aiguë sur la nécessité de réduire la puissance et la propriété catholiques. Du côté catholique, les rudes épreuves des années 1650 devinrent centrales dans une conscience de persécution et de pertes subies, sur fond religieux. En Irlande, les différences religieuses se sont greffées sur des antagonismes ethniques et coloniaux ajoutant aux divisions confessionnelles une profondeur et une complexité généralement absentes du reste de l’Europe.
A Comparative Study of Non-Chopping Rotation and Axial Rotation Versus Quick Chop Phacoemulsification Techniques
Authors: Zeng Mingbing , Liu Xialin , Zhang Xinyu , Xia Yuanlin , Liu Yuhua , Yuan Zhaohui , Liu Yizhi 
Published: June 2009

Background and Objective:
The authors describe the non-chopping rotation and axial rotation phacoemulsification techniques and compare them with the quick chop technique in terms of efficacy and safety.

Patients and Methods:
A prospective, randomized, comparative study of 654 eyes of patients with cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups according to phacoemulsification technique and were subdivided into four groups according to nuclear density.

Results:
For grade 1 and 2 nuclei, non-chopping rotation and axial rotation techniques outperformed the quick chop technique in ultrasound time, cumulative dissipated energy, best-corrected visual acuity, central corneal thickness, and endothelial cell loss. For grade 3 nuclei, the axial rotation technique did best according to the same terms. For grade 4 nuclei, the two rotation techniques were less efficient for lens removal.

Conclusion:
The non-chopping rotation and axial rotation phacoemulsification techniques are advisable for removal of soft to medium-hard nuclei. For hard nuclei, chopping techniques are more successful.

Clinical Factors Associated With Floppy Iris Signs: A Prospective Study From Two Centers
Authors: Altan-Yaycioglu Rana , Gedik Sansal , Pelit Aysel , Akova Yonca A. , Akman Ahmet 
Published: June 2009

Background and Objective:
To evaluate the relationship of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome with pseudoexfoliation, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and alpha-1 adrenergic blocker (A1AB) use.

Patients and Methods:
Five hundred patients were included in this prospective study. Intraoperative adverse events, such as pupillary constriction, iris billowing, and iris prolapse from the wound, were noted. Multinomial regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome with pseudoexfoliation, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, pupil diameter, and A1AB use.

Results:

Pupil constriction was significantly associated with pseudoexfoliation (
P
< .001). Diabetes mellitus was associated with pupil constriction and iris billowing (
P
= .005 and .003, respectively). Hypertension was associated with pupil constriction (
P
= .021). Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome was strongly associated with A1AB use and male gender (
P
< .001 and .039, respectively).

Conclusion:
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome was observed in 2.8% of patients and was strongly related to A1AB use, particularly in smaller pupil diameters. Pseudoexfoliation, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension were not associated with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.

Comparison of Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography and Color Photographic Imaging of the Optic Nerve Head in Management of Glaucoma
Authors: Kotera Yuriko , Yasuno Yoshiaki , Hangai Masanori , Inoue Ryo , Makita Shuichi , Nakanishi Hideo , Yamanari Masahiro , Yoshimura Nagahisa 
Published: June 2009

Background and Objective:
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows three-dimensional imaging of the optic disc. The objective of this study was to compare optic disc and cup margins between fundus photographs and SD-OCT.

Patients and Methods:
Eighteen eyes with glaucoma were examined by a custom-built SD-OCT. OCT fundus images were used to register fundus photographs and SD-OCT volume.

Results:
Disc margins on fundus photographs corresponded to termination of the highly reflective straight line that represented the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) or the highly reflective curved line that connected to the RPE on the OCT B-scan images at 99.3% of the positions along the disc edges. Cup margins on fundus photographs corresponded at 73.6% of the positions to the interior border of the hyporeflective regions on the OCT fundus images.

Conclusions:
Excellent to fair correspondence in the determination of disc and cup margins between fundus photographs and SD-OCT images was shown.

Spectral Domain High-Definition Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients Undergoing Epiretinal Membrane Surgery
Authors: Falkner-Radler Christiane I. , Glittenberg Carl , Binder Susanne 
Published: June 2009

Background and Objective:
To evaluate possible advantages of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in epiretinal membranes.

Patients and Methods:
Patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs) were examined before and after vitreoretinal surgery. Cirrus SD high-definition (HD)-OCT was compared with Stratus time domain OCT to find correlations with visual acuity (VA) and metamorphopsia.

Results:
Five consecutive patients were enrolled. With Cirrus HD-OCT, it was possible to differentiate between the ERM and the retinal surface in all patients. In areas where the ERM was adherent, this differentiation was severely limited with Stratus OCT. We found no significant correlations between Cirrus OCT and Stratus OCT for retinal thickness and VA. However, we found a relationship between metamorphopsia and topographic maps of the internal limiting membrane.

Conclusion:
Cirrus HD-OCT improved the preoperative evaluation of ERMs, offered a topographic reconstruction of the vitreomacular interface, and improved identification of retinal structures.

Retinal Angiomatous Proliferation: Morphological Changes Assessed by Stratus and Cirrus OCT
Authors: Krebs Ilse , Glittenberg Carl , Hagen Stefan , Haas Paulina , Binder Susanne 
Published: June 2009

Background and Objective:
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) should be used to examine lesions containing retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) to achieve a better understanding of the origin of this pathology.

Patients and Methods:
In this prospective, observational case series, patients with RAP underwent retinal thickness imaging with Stratus OCT and cube 200 × 200 imaging with Cirrus OCT.

Results:
A total of 12 eyes from 11 patients were included in the study. Of these, eight eyes had stage III RAP and four eyes had stage II RAP. Cirrus OCT detected the hyperreflective area corresponding to the neovascularization in all 12 eyes and Stratus OCT detected this pathology in 10 of the 12 eyes. All stage III lesions contained a retinal pigment epithelial break, which was more visible in the 200 × 200 scans obtained from Cirrus OCT compared with six radial scan lines obtained from Stratus OCT.

Conclusion:
Cirrus OCT had considerable advantages compared with Stratus OCT, particularly in investigation of juxtafoveal pathology.
