description: Falls in nursing homes occur among a large percentage of residents. Their onset necessitates a postfall assessment (PFA) be performed by clinical staff to determine likely etiology. The absence of an empirically validated comprehensive postfall assessment tool has led to considerable variability in the types of PFAs performed. The purpose of this study was to examine the types of PFA tools available, their content, and to compare this with national recommendations for fall assessment in geriatric practice.

description: La prima volta che si legge un autore come Dewey lo si fa per conoscerne i contenuti; la seconda, si comprende che certi modelli, che potevano apparire, ad una prima lettura, molto semplici e facilmente adottabili nella pratica quotidiana, vanno ripensati, perchè possano aderire al contesto contemporaneo, e non possono essere inclusi nel repertorio attuale, così come furono progettati inizialmente.
Questi aspetti, presenti nell’opera di Dewey, sono stati il frutto della nostra interpretazione di empiristi, in vari lavori di ricerca, ma, in particolare, hanno ispirato l’esempio di pratica educativa, descritto nel contributo qui presentato, teso a mobilitare determinati requisiti che Dewey giudica essenziali quali la necessità di impegno sociale ed esperienziale, che ogni progetto educativo dovrebbe sostenere per essere realmente efficace e democratico.
Si è trattato di sviluppare una serie di attività didattiche indirizzate a docenti ed allievi di un gruppo di scuole dell’area di Palermo che hanno partecipato ad un progetto regionale di creazione e diffusione di concetti di bioversità legati all’identità del territorio di appartenenza.

description: Background: Maternal mortality is an important public health problem in low-income countries. Delays in reaching health facilities and insufficient health care professionals call for innovative community-level solutions. There is limited evidence on the role of community health workers in the management of pregnancy complications. This study aimed to describe the feasibility of task-sharing the initial screening and initiation of obstetric emergency care for pre-eclampsia/eclampsia from the primary healthcare providers to community health workers in Mozambique and document healthcare facility preparedness to respond to referrals. Method: The study took place in Maputo and Gaza Provinces in southern Mozambique and aimed to inform the Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomized controlled trial. This was a mixed-methods study. The quantitative data was collected through self-administered questionnaires completed by community health workers and a health facility survey; this data was analysed using Stata v13. The qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with various community groups, health care providers, and policymakers. All discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim prior to thematic analysis using QSR NVivo 10. Data collection was complemented by reviewing existing documents regarding maternal health and community health worker policies, guidelines, reports and manuals. Results: Community health workers in Mozambique were trained to identify the basic danger signs of pregnancy; however, they have not been trained to manage obstetric emergencies. Furthermore, barriers at health facilities were identified, including lack of equipment, shortage of supervisors, and irregular drug availability. All primary and the majority of secondary-level facilities (57%) do not provide blood transfusions or have surgical capacity, and thus such cases must be referred to the tertiary-level. Although most healthcare facilities (96%) had access to an ambulance for referrals, no transport was available from the community to the healthcare facility.

description: In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict forced convection heat transfer enhancement from microscale pin fin heat sinks under various operating conditions and at different geometries. Experimental data acquired from the literature were employed to train the ANN model. Different numbers of training cycles, layers, and neurons in the network were investigated to design an effective neural network. The performance of the trained network was tested using the mean squared error and the most accurate one was selected to predict the average Nusselt number. Mean absolute percentage errors between the ANN output and the experimental datapoints were calculated and compared with the existing correlations. This machine learning method offers significant improvement for thermal performance prediction and could be a reliable tool for determining convective heat transfer in microscale pin fin heat sinks.

description: People own a number of personal devices whose state and resources might be of interest to others. Owners of these devices may be willing to selectively share them with their family, friends, and colleagues, but there exists no easy and secure mechanism to do so. In this paper, we propose SBone, an architecture that allows personal devices to share their resources and state with each other, seamlessly and securely, using a social network for authentication, naming, discovery and access control. The sharing mechanism is derived from the inter-personal relationships that exists among owners by virtue of their presence in online social networks. We present a case study of how SBone can be used to share internet connectivity resource between devices.

description: Background Sub-Saharan Africa carries a disproportionate burden of under-five child deaths in the world and appropriate breastfeeding practices can support efforts to reduce child mortality rates. Health facilities are important in the promotion of early and exclusive breastfeeding. The purpose of this review was to examine facility-based barriers and facilitators to early and exclusive breastfeeding in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods A systematic search was conducted on Medline, Web of Science, CINAHL, African Journals Online and African Index Medicus from database inception to April 29, 2021 and primary research studies on breastfeeding practices in health facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa were included in the review. We assessed qualitative studies with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Qualitative Checklist and quantitative studies using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute tool. The review protocol was registered to Prospero prior to conducting the review (CRD42020167414). Results Of the 56 included studies, relatively few described health facility infrastructure and supplies-related issues (5, 11%) while caregiver factors were frequently described (35, 74%). Facility-based breastfeeding policies and guidelines were frequently available but challenged by implementation gaps, especially at lower health service levels. Facilitators included positive caregiver and health worker attitudes, knowledge and support during the postpartum period. Current studies have focused on caregiver factors, particularly around their knowledge and attitudes, while health facility infrastructure and supplies factors appear to be growing concerns, such as overcrowding and lack of privacy during breastfeeding counselling that lowers the openness and comfort of mothers especially those HIV-positive. Conclusion There has been a dramatic rise in rates of facility births in Sub-Saharan Africa, which must be taken into account when considering the capacities of health facilities to support breastfeeding practices. As the number of facility births rise in Sub-Saharan Africa, so does the responsibility of skilled healthcare workers to provide the necessary breastfeeding support and advice to caregivers. Our review highlighted that health facility infrastructure, supplies and staffing appears to be a neglected area in breastfeeding promotion and a need to strengthen respectful maternity care in the delivery of breastfeeding counselling, particularly in supporting HIV-positive mothers within the context of Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Salt marsh ecosystems provide many critical ecological functions, yet they are subject to considerable disturbance ranging from direct human alteration to increased inundation due to climate change. We assessed emergent salt marsh plant characteristics in the Tuckerton Peninsula, a large expanse (~2,000 ha) of highly inundated habitat along the southern New Jersey coast, USA. Key salt marsh plant parameters were monitored in the heavily grid-ditched northern segment, Open Marsh Water Management (OMWM) altered central segment, and the shoreline altered southern segment of the peninsula in the summer months of 2011 and 2013. Plant species composition and three metrics of abundance and structure (maximum canopy height, percent areal cover, and shoot density) were examined among marsh segments, along transects within segments, seasonally by month, and between years. Despite seasonal or annual variability, the northern segment of the marsh differed in plant species composition from the central and southern segments. This difference was partly due to greater percent areal cover in the northern segment of such upper marsh species as Spartina patens and Distichlis spicata. S. patens also exhibited higher shoot densities in the northern segment than the central segment. Despite the higher abundance of upper marsh species, marsh surface elevations were lower in the northern segment than in the central or southern segments, suggesting the influence of altered hydrology due to human activities. Understanding current variation in the emergent salt marsh vegetation along the peninsula will help inform future habitat change in other coastal wetlands of New Jersey and the mid-Atlantic region subject to natural and anthropogenic drivers.
Approximate max-min resource sharing for structured concave optimization

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1999

description: We present a Lagrangian decomposition algorithm which uses logarithmic potential reduction to compute an $varepsilon$-approximate solution of the general max-min resource sharing problem with $M$ nonnegative concave constraints on a convex set $B$. We show that this algorithm runs in $O(M({varepsilon^{-2}}+ln M))$ iterations, a data independent bound which is optimal up to polylogarithmic factors for any fixed relative accuracy $varepsilonin(0,1)$. In the general structured case, $B$ is the product of $K$ convex blocks and each constraint function is block separable. For such models, an iteration of our method requires a $Theta(varepsilon)$-approximate solution of $K$ independent block maximization problems which can be computed in parallel.

description: Let Y be a convex set in IR^k defined by polynomial inequalities and equations of degree at most d>=2 with integer coefficients of binary length l. We show that if Y(intersection)Z^k != 0, then Y contains an integral point of binary length ld^0(k^4). For fixed k, our bound implies a polynomial-time algorithm for computing an integral point y E Y . In particular, we extend Lenstra's theorem on the polynomial-time solvability of linear integer programming in fixed dimension to semidefinite integer programming.

Toward this end, the Libraries have focused on measuring the impact of its instruction program via the McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program (MPBAP). This prestigious program provides a unique opportunity to track cohorts of students over 10 years. The goal is to have these students enroll in doctoral programs. We are seeking to find out: Do students in the Bibliography & Research Techniques library class in the Summer Research Institute of the MPBAP retain and transfer information literacy skills to other courses and academic research as they persist in the MPBAP program? In addition to the assessment instruments already in use by the McNair department, (Graduate Student Profile Progress Report) for long term impact, other instruments are being used by the Libraries: pre-post tests and surveys. This poster will present the assessment methods in place as we begin to track our first cohort (Summer 2015).

description: We show that an $veps$-approximate solution of the cost-constrained $K$-commodity flow problem on an $N$-node $M$-arc network $G$ can be computed by sequentially solving $O(K(eps^{-2}+log K)log Mlog(eps^{-1}K))$ single-commodity minimum-cost flow problems on the same network. In particular, an approximate minimum-cost multicommodity flow can be computed in $ilde O(eps^{-2}KNM)$ running time, where the notation $ilde O(cdot)$ means ``up to logarithmic factors''. This result improves the time bound mentioned in Grigoriadis and Khachiyan (1994) by a factor of $M/N$ and that developed recently in Karger and Plotkin (1995) by a factor of $eps^{-1}$. We also provide a simple $ilde O(NM)$-time algorithm for single-commodity budget-constrained minimum-cost flows which is $ilde O(eps^{-3})$ times faster than the algorithm of Karger and Plotkin (1995).

Service continuations: an operating system mechanism for dynamic migration of internet service sessions

description: We propose service continuations (SC), an OS mechanism that supports seamless dynamic migration of Internet service sessions between cooperating multi-process servers. Service continuations provide a server application with a simple and easy to use abstraction, and a means to migrate the service state along with the serviced connection. SC supports transparent resumption of service to the client at another server, and guarantees integrity and consistency of communication channels used by server processes. SC is a generic, application independent mechanism that can be used to provide service continuity and availability for today’s complex Internet services. We have implemented SC in FreeBSD and used them successfully in three real servers: the Apache web server, the PostgreSQL transactional database server, and the Icecast streaming server. We present results of an experimental evaluation showing that using SC adds negligible run-time overhead to existing servers and that SC enable efficient dynamic migration of client sessions.

description: Chapter IV contains a discussion of the general properties of the system R. In this chapter, the general properties of the system will be used for a detailed development of the theory of numbers in the system R. Section 41 contains a detailed discussion of natural numbers and functions of natural numbers. The discussion begins by introducing the concept of an R-formula I-representing a natural number. Speaking informally, this is saying that certain R-formulas serve as names for natural numbers. This definition, together with the primitive rules for W are used to develop, in detail, the properties of addition,multiplication, exponentiation and proper subtraction in the system R. Sections 42 and 43 are devoted to developing more general ways of dealing with functions of natural numbers in the system R. The basic idea is to introduce certain classes of functions of natural numbers and show that each function has an I-representation in system R. The particular classes of functions which are considered the primitive recursive functions and the partial recursive functions. Section 44 contains a discussion of general methods which can be used to show that relations among natural numbers have I-representations in the system R. There is also a discussion of limitations on relations which can be represented in the system R. In section 45, the theory of natural numbers in the system R is used to continue the development of the theory of combinators which was begun in section 31. Using natural numbers, it is possible to prove many additional properties of combinators as well as to define combinators which have interesting and useful properties. Finally, in section 46, the concept of an ordinal number is introduced. Then it is shown that a substantial fragment of several versions of the theory of ordinal numbers can be developed within the system R. In summary, the objective of this chapter is to develop the theory of natural numbers and ordinal numbers in the system R.

description: The unique properties of holey graphene sheet, referred to graphene sheet with nanoholes in its basal plane, lead to wide range of applications, which cannot be achieved by its nonporous counterpart. However, its large scale solution based production requires graphene oxide (GO) or reduced GO (rGO) as starting materials, which take hours to days for their fabrication. Here, we report our unexpected discovery that GO with or without holes can be controllably, directly, and rapidly (tens of seconds) fabricated from graphite powder via a one-step-one-pot microwave assisted reaction with a production yield of 120 wt% of graphite. Furthermore, a fast and low temperature approach is developed for simultaneous nitrogen (N) doping and reduction of GO sheets. The N-doped holey rGO sheets demonstrate remarkable electrocatalytic capabilities toward electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction. The existence of the nanoholes not only provides a “short cut” for efficient mass transport, but also dramatically increases edges and surface area, therefore, creates more catalytic centers. The capability of rapid fabrication and N-doping as well as reduction of holey GO can lead us to develop efficient catalyst, which can replace previous coin metals for energy generation and storage, such as fuel cells and metal–air batteries

description: This special issue introduces the concept of age-inscription. It accounts for the ways that transitions, expectations and markers around age and life-course stages are modified in interplay with social change. This new concept is necessary, we argue, because age-inscriptions correspond to more indeterminate and transitional levels of changes in aging trajectories and life stages than the concept of norms. Inscriptions lie between rules, laws, and norms on the one hand, and individual feelings, emotions, and actions on the other. They are at least slightly shared between individuals, and, thus, somewhat more standardized than individual behavior, but not as standardized and shared as norms. The introduction to this special issue lays out the reasons why age-inscriptions happen, as well as the primary ways by which they are formed and generated. We conclude by arguing that contemporary age-inscriptions are fashioned in relation to a longer life course encountered by a new generation, an increasing temporalization and institutionalization of the life course, and high levels of mobility and migration.

description: This study provides evidence of health and insurance coverage disparities between the cisgender and transgender US populations using repeated cross sections from the 2014-2020 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance Systems. The analysis tests whether increasing the incidence of insurance coverage among transgender people could alleviate the health disparity. The empirical approach uses a fuzzy regression discontinuity design that leverages breaks in government health assistance eligibility by age. Results indicate that, for transgender recipients only, insurance coverage meaningfully improves mental health; for cisgender recipients only, insurance coverage reduces difficulties with concentration and memory; and for both the transgender and cisgender populations, insurance coverage contributes to important improvements in physical health, overall health, and healthcare access.

description: The lung extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a key role in the normal architecture of the lung, from embryonic lung development to mechanical stability and elastic recoil of the breathing adult lung. The lung ECM can modulate the biophysical environment of cells through ECM stiffness, porosity, topography and insolubility. In a reciprocal interaction, lung ECM dynamics result from the synthesis, degradation and organization of ECM components by the surrounding structural and immune cells. Repeated lung injury and repair can trigger a vicious cycle of aberrant ECM protein deposition, accompanied by elevated ECM stiffness, which has a lasting effect on cell and tissue function. The processes governing the resolution of injury repair are regulated by several pathways; however, in chronic lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary disease (IPF) these processes are compromised, resulting in impaired cell function and ECM remodeling. Current estimates show that more than 60% of the human coding transcripts are regulated by miRNAs. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expressions and modulate cellular functions. This review is focused on the current knowledge of miRNAs in regulating ECM synthesis, degradation and topography by cells and their dysregulation in asthma, COPD and IPF.

description: Once upon a time before words were written, before cultures and societies were observed and analyzed there was storytelling. Storytelling has been a part of humanity since people were able to communicate and respond to the basic biological urge to explain, educate and enlighten. Cave drawings, traditional dances, poems, songs, and chants are all examples of early storytelling. Stories pass on historical, cultural, and moral information and provide escape and relief from the everyday struggle to survive. Storytelling takes place in all cultures in a variety of different forms. Studying these forms requires an interdisciplinary approach involving anthropology, psychology, linguistics, history, library science, theater, media studies and other related disciplines. New technologies and new approaches have brought about a renewed interest in the varied aspects and elements of storytelling, broadening our understanding and appreciation of its complexity.

description: The first interprocedural modification side-effects analysis (MODC ) for C that obtains better than worst-case precision on programs with general-purpose pointer usage is presented with empirical results. The analysis consists of an algorithm schema corresponding to a family of MODC algorithms with two independent phases: one for determining pointer-induced aliases and a subsequent one for propagating interprocedural side effects. These MODC algorithms are parameterized by the aliasing method used. The empirical results compare the performance of two dissimilar MODC algorithms: MODC(FSAlias) uses a flow-sensitive, calling-context sensitive interprocedural alias analysis [LR92]; MODC(FIAlias) uses a flow-insensitive, calling context-insensitive alias analysis which is much faster, but less accurate [ZRL96]. These two algorithms were profiled on 45 programs ranging in size from 250 to 30,000 lines of C code, and the results demonstrate dramatically the possible cost-precision trade offs. This first comparative implementation of MODC analyses offers insight into the differences between flow-/context-sensitive and flow-/context-insensitive analyses. The analysis cost versus precision trade offs in side-effect information obtained is reported. The results show surprisingly that the precision of flow-sensitive side-effect analysis is not always prohibitive and that the imprecision of flow-insensitive analysis is substantially better than worst-case estimates and can be sufficient for certain applications. On average MODC(FSAlias) for procedures and calls is in the range of 20% more precise than MODC(FIAlias); however, the performance was found to be at least an order of magnitude slower than MODC(FIAlias).

description: This paper describes the rst algorithm that calculates Interprocedural Def-Use Associations in C software systems. Our algorithm accounts for program-point-specic pointer-induced aliases, although it is currently limited to programs using a single level of indirection. We prove the NP-hardness of the Interprocedural Reaching Denitions Problem and point out the approximation made by our polynomial-time algorithm. Initial empirical results are also presented.
An Architecture for Mobile Databases

description: The use of mobile computers is gaining popularity. The number of users with laptops and notebooks is increasing and this trend is likely to continue in the future where the number of mobile clients will far exceed the number of traditional xed clients. Applications running on mobile clients download information by periodically connecting to repositories of data. Mobile clients constitute a new and different kind of workload and exhibit different access patterns than those seen in traditional client server systems. Though le systems have been modified to handle clients that are capable of downloading information, updating the information while disconnected, and later reintegrating the updates, databases have not been redesigned to accommodate mobile clients. Thus, there is a need to support mobile clients in the context of client server databases. In this paper, we present a new architecture for database systems which takes mobile environments into consideration. This architecture allows us to address issues of concurrency control, disconnection, replica control in mobile databases. We also propose the concept of hoard keys which facilitates hoarding. We present simulation results that illustrate the performance of an example database system with both disconnected and traditional clients.

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1995

description: We present a definition of the function pointer aliasing problem for single level function pointers, according to a new approximation of possible program execution for interprocedural analyses in the presence of calls through function pointers. We have classified the complexity of the problem as either polynomial or NP-hard, with respect to various program constructs affecting function pointer aliasing. We present our problem classification and give brief proofs for a polynomial case and a NP-hard case.

description: Background: Digital rectal examination (DRE) is considered an important part of the physical examination. However, it is unclear how many patients have a DRE performed at the primary care level in the work-up of rectal cancer, and if the absence of a DRE causes a delay to consultation with a specialist. Methods: A retrospective patient questionnaire was sent to 1000 consecutive patients with stage II or stage III rectal cancer. The questionnaire asked patients to recall if they had a DRE performed by their general practitioner (GP) when they first presented with symptoms or a positive FIT test. Demographic data, staging data, and time to consultation with a specialist were also collected. Results: A thousand surveys were mailed out, and a total of 262 patients responded. Of the respondents, 46.2% did not recall undergoing a digital rectal examination by their primary care provider. Women were less likely to undergo a DRE than men (28.6% vs. 44.3%, p = 0.019). While there was a trend towards longer times to specialist consultation in patients who did not undergo a DRE (27.0 vs. 12.2 weeks), this was not statistically significant (p = 0.121). Conclusion: A significant proportion of patients who are FIT positive or have symptomatic rectal bleeding do not recall having a DRE by their primary care provider. Barriers may include lack of comfort with performing DRE or lack of time. Clearer guidelines and more support for GP’s may increase uptake of DRE.
Lesions of the Lower Uterine Segment: A Review
Creators: name: Heller, Debra

Subjects: Lower uterine segment
Uterine neoplasms
Cervical neoplasms

description: Background: The lower uterine segment may become involved by cervical as well as endometrial lesions. In addition, there are lesions unique to the lower uterine segment, and identifying carcinomas in this region may have prognostic significance. Objectives: This review covers the scope of lesions affecting the lower uterine segment. Methods: A Medline search was used, using the term lower uterine segment. Reported lesions of the lower uterine segment were reviewed. Results: Endomerial carcinomas arising from, as well as spreading to this area may have prognostic significance. Adenocarcinomas arising in the lower uterine segment can be associated with Lynch syndrome. Endometrial adenocarcinoma spreading to the lower uterine segment may indicate an increased risk of lymph nodal involvement. Conclusions: A review of the scope of lower uterine segment lesions is presented to assist in developing a differential diagnosis if a patient with such a lesion is encountered.
