description: Progesterone production from the corpus luteum is critical for natural reproduction. Progesterone supplementation seems to be an important aspect of any assisted reproductive technology treatment. Luteal phase deficiency in natural cycles is a plausible cause of infertility and pregnancy loss, though there is no adequate diagnostic test. This article describes the normal luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, investigates the controversy surrounding luteal phase deficiency, and presents the current literature for progesterone supplementation during assisted reproductive technologies.

description: Research, including the educational neuroscience, has highlighted the close relationship between emerging literacy and subsequent learning of reading and writing. Early verification of symbolic and linguistic skills is essential to support the development, and recovery strategies are to be prepared in case of early signs of difficulty. In some infant schools in the Palermo area we carried out a laboratory of the last 45 hours, according to a specific methodological setting, with a dual aim: a) developing the emerging areas of literacy in preschool, b) providing teachers with an objective approach to detect in children reading and writing readiness. The study investigated phonological, lexical and pragmatic skills. We verified if an integrated curriculum based on storytelling could improve construction of the oral and written language, and phonological awareness in five-year old children. Although the findings concern only one experimental situation, the results showed the following a prepared educational programme produced an appreciable increasing of the individual performances. Sviluppare l’alfabetizzazione emergente nella scuola dell’infanzia: un’esperienza laboratoriale per la costruzione della lingua scritta La ricerca educativa, anche quella delle neuroscienze, ha messo in evidenza la stretta relazione che intercorre fra alfabetizzazione emergente e successivo apprendimento di lettura e scrittura. Una verifica tempestiva delle abilità simboliche e linguistiche è imprescindibile per accompagnare lo sviluppo e per predisporre strategie di recupero delle carenze riscontrate, nel caso si individuino segnali precoci di difficoltà. In alcune scuole dell’infanzia della provincia di Palermo è stato realizzato un laboratorio della durata di 45 ore, secondo una precisa impostazione metodologica, con un duplice scopo: a) sviluppare le aree emergenti dell’alfabetizzazione in età prescolare; b) fornire agli insegnanti un orientamento oggettivo per rilevare l’idoneità all’apprendimento di lettura e scrittura. L’indagine ha preso in considerazione le competenze fonologica, lessicale e pragmatica. Si è verificato se un curricolo integrato, basato sul racconto di storie, potesse migliorare la capacità di costruzione della lingua orale e scritta e la consapevolezza fonologica nei bambini di cinque anni di età. Pur rimanendo su un piano empirico, gli esiti dell’indagine mostrano che il percorso didattico ha prodotto un sensibile miglioramento delle prestazioni dei soggetti.

description: OBJECTIVES: To determine the cancer specific mortality of active and retired workers of the German rubber industry with emphasis on cancer sites which have been associated with the rubber industry in previous studies.

METHODS: A cohort of 11,663 German men was followed up for mortality from 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1991. Cohort members were active (n = 7536) or retired (n = 4127) at the beginning of the study, and had been employed for at least one year in one of five study plants producing types or general rubber goods. Vital status was ascertained for 99.7% of the cohort members, and cause of death found for 96.8% of the 2719 decedents. Age and calendar year adjusted standardised mortality ratios (SMR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated overall from national reference rates and stratified by year of hire and by years since hire.

RESULTS: Mortalities from all causes (SMR 108; 95% CI 104-112) and all cancers (SMR 111; 95% CI 103-119) were significantly increased in the study cohort. Significant excesses in the mortalities from lung cancer (SMR 130; 95% CI 115-147) and pleural cancer (SMR 401; 95% CI 234-642) were identified. SMRs higher than 100 were found for cancers of the pharynx (SMR 144; 95% CI 76-246), oesophagus (SMR 120; 95% CI 74-183), stomach (SMR 110; 95% CI 86-139), rectum (SMR 123; 95% CI 86-170), larynx (SMR 129; 95% CI 69-221), prostate (SMR 108; 95% CI 84-136), and bladder (SMR 124; 95% CI 86-172), as well as for leukaemia (SMR 148; 95% CI 99-213). Mortalities from liver cancer, brain cancer, and lymphoma were lower than expected.

CONCLUSIONS: Mortalities from cancer of several sites previously associated with the rubber industry were also increased among workers of the German rubber industry. Results of the stratified analyses are consistent with a role of occupational exposure in the aetiology of some of these cancers.

description: We develop a general operational framework that formalizes the concept of conditional uncertainty in a measure-independent fashion. Our formalism is built upon a mathematical relation which we call conditional majorization. We define conditional majorization and, for the case of classical memory, we provide its thorough characterization in terms of monotones, i.e., functions that preserve the partial order under conditional majorization. We demonstrate the application of this framework by deriving two types of memory-assisted uncertainty relations: (1) a monotone-based conditional uncertainty relation, (2) a universal measure-independent conditional uncertainty relation, both of which set a lower bound on the minimal uncertainty that Bob has about Alice's pair of incompatible measurements, conditioned on arbitrary measurement that Bob makes on his own system. We next compare the obtained relations with their existing entropic counterparts and find that they are at least independent.

description: OBJECTIVE: To understand whether previous styrene exposure increases the human liver's ability to convert styrene into styrene oxide.

METHODS: The hypothesis was tested that the average linear metabolic rate constant kappa was the same in both exposed and unexposed groups, when the exposed group comprised people with a history of styrene exposure and the unexposed group had no exposure. In an experimental chamber, these two groups of subjects were exposed to a concentration of 80 ppm styrene for two hours. A three compartment pharmacokinetic model was used to define kappa. Based on large sample theory, the comparison of estimated mean values of kappa in the exposed and unexposed groups was shown to be equivalent to a comparison of the estimated mean values of the hepatic clearance X in the two groups. A method was developed to estimate X for each subject in both groups from the subject's height, weight, and estimated asymptotic styrene decay constant alpha. Here, alpha was estimated individually from observed blood concentrations over time when sufficient time had elapsed after the controlled exposure.

RESULTS: The proposed methodology of comparing the estimated mean values of kappa in exposed and unexposed groups reduced the number of specific physiological variables involved to three, all of which were estimable from data based on simple direct measurements. In contrast, other methods based on pharmacokinetic models usually involved many variables that were non-estimable on an individual basis. Consequently, statistical comparisons were impossible. These methods were applied to analyse previously published data on the time course of styrene concentrations in arterial blood of subjects in both exposed and unexposed groups. A Wilcoxon non-parametric rank sum test with the individually estimated X values was used, and no significant difference in the means of X in the two groups was found.

CONCLUSION: The linear metabolic rate constant kappa for humans is probably not altered by previous exposure to styrene. This result is in agreement with some experimental studies on animals. However, in the data analysis, it was noted that the number of subjects in each group was small (6-7) and that the styrene concentration data did not exactly reflect true behaviour of asymptotic decay. Further studies are still needed to draw more definitive conclusions.

description: The hard sphere repulsion among ions can be considered in the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations by combining the fundamental measure theory (FMT). To reduce the nonlocal computational complexity in 3D simulation of biological systems, a local approximation of FMT is derived, which forms a local hard sphere PNP (LHSPNP) model. It is interestingly found that the essential part of free energy term of the previous size modified model has a very similar form to one term of the LHS model, but LHSPNP has more additional terms accounting for size effects. Equation of state for one component homogeneous fluid is studied for the local hard sphere approximation of FMT and is proved to be exact for the first two virial coefficients, while the previous size modified model only presents the first virial coefficient accurately. To investigate the effects of LHS model and the competitions among different counterion species, numerical experiments are performed for the traditional PNP model, the LHSPNP model, the previous size modified PNP (SMPNP) model and the Monte Carlo simulation. It's observed that in steady state the LHSPNP results are quite different from the PNP results, but are close to the SMPNP results under a wide range of boundary conditions. Besides, in both LHSPNP and SMPNP models the stratification of one counterion species can be observed under certain bulk concentrations.

description: Reading is still an open issue for the Italian educational system (and not only for the Italian one). The reasons are concerning both its learning processes and the educational emergency phenomenon of non-readers. The increasing diffusion of ICT is acting as an engine to face this issue both in school and in other educational agencies. In fact, ICT are activating evidence-based procedures and strategies which are effective and easy to be used. In particular, the recent development of mobile has opened the way for using Application (App) for teaching, with awesome results. In the present paper, the authors propose a literature review that aims to highlight two important aspects. Firstly, the clarification of the problem and secondly, the individuation of the most advantageous Apps in order to promote the literacy even from an inclusive perspective. Le App come strumenti per l’apprendimento della letto-scrittura. Una rassegna Quella della lettura continua a essere una questione aperta per il sistema formativo italiano (e non solo), sia per quel che concerne i processi di apprendimento che la sottendono sia per quel che riguarda l’emergenza educativa inerente il fenomeno dei “non lettori”. La crescente diffusione delle TIC sta agendo come propulsore per affrontare a scuola come nelle altre agenzie educative questo problema, attivando procedure e strategie che risultano efficaci (sul piano dell’evidenza scientifica) e di semplice adozione. In modo particolare il recente sviluppo del mobile ha aperto la strada all’utilizzo di Applicazioni (App) nella didattica, con risultati a dir poco sorprendenti. Nel presente contributo gli autori propongono una rassegna della letteratura finalizzata a mettere in evidenza da un lato i termini del problema e dell’altro quali App sono oggi ritenute maggiormente vantaggiose per favorire l’apprendimento della letto-scrittura anche in ottica inclusiva.

description: Em 2015 o acordo das Nações Unidas estabelece a Agenda 2030 e os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável com as suas 169 metas, como desafio global para a humanidade. Estes 17 ODS apresentam-se mais exigentes e concretos que os Objetivos do Milénio traçados no início do século XXI. O acesso à informação surge como pilar fundamental para o desenvolvimento das comunidades e seus territórios. A Cultura é considerada o 4º pilar para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável porque na verdade, consubstancia o impulsionar do conhecimento, da cidadania e de uma visão que se quer critica e participativa. Nesta garantia de acesso à informação e independentemente da sua tipologia (bibliotecas especializadas, públicas, escolares, universitárias) as bibliotecas prestam serviços que promovem a qualidade de vida, o crescimento pessoal e profissional, a formação e a capacitação no acesso às tecnologias da informação e comunicação. Quebram barreiras de isolamento social, promovem o turismo enquadrando zonas culturais e patrimoniais, articulando em parceria e demonstrando que a coesão regional pode ser um forte impulsionador económico. Se aferirmos o impacto a médio e longo prazo na vida das populações de projetos desenvolvidos por bibliotecas, será interessante verificar como estes “acessos” à informação contribuem como fator de mudança na vida do utilizador. A IFLA divulga orientações para a implementação de projetos contextualizados na Agenda 2030, sendo que o acesso à informação se encontra na base de todos os ODS, observância inclusive da própria Declaração de Lyon em 2014. O trabalho desenvolvido pela Direção-Geral do Livro, dos Arquivos e das Bibliotecas (DGLAB) no âmbito da Rede Nacional de Bibliotecas Públicas (RNBP) e no acompanhamento de Grupos de Trabalho Intermunicipais de Bibliotecas Públicas (GTCIM), tem permitido aferir que esse crescimento de parcerias e redes potencia o acesso à informação, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento sustentável destes próprios territórios.

Controlling the healthy worker survivor effect: an example of arsenic exposure and respiratory cancer.

Year: 1996

description: OBJECTIVE--This investigation sought to examine whether methods proposed to control the healthy worker survivor effect would influence the shape or magnitude of the dose-response curve for respiratory cancer induced by arsenic. METHODS--Results from an unadjusted analysis are compared with results obtained by applying four different methods for control of the healthy worker survivor effect to data on arsenic exposure and respiratory cancer. The four methods are: exposure lag, adjustment for work status, cohort restriction, and the G null test. RESULTS--Cohort restriction gave erratic results depending upon the minimum years of follow up used. Exposure lag substantially increased the rate ratios and a non-linear shape (decreasing slope) compared with an unlagged analysis. Adjusting for work status (currently employed upsilon retired or otherwise not employed) yielded slightly higher rate ratios than an unadjusted analysis, with an overall shape similar to the baseline analysis. Results from the G null test procedure of Robins (1986), although not directly comparable with the baseline analysis, did show an adverse effect of exposure that seemed to reach a maximum when exposure was lagged between 10 and 20 years. CONCLUSIONS--All results confirm an adverse effect of arsenic exposure on respiratory cancer. In these data, it seems that the healthy worker survivor effect was not strong enough to mask the strong effect of arsenic exposure on respiratory cancer. Nevertheless, several methods show a stronger association between arsenic exposure and respiratory cancer after adjustment for the healthy worker survivor effect, suggesting that for weaker causal associations, studies not controlling for this source of bias will have low power to detect results. Although the G methods are theoretically the most unbiased, further work elucidating the validity of the assumptions underlying lagging, adjustment for work status, and the G methods are needed before clear recommendations can be made.

description: OBJECTIVES: To test the validity of a Michaelis-Menten-like kinetic model of pulmonary clearance of insoluble dusts.

METHODS: Data were investigated from studies of pulmonary clearance in F344 rats exposed to antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), photocopy test toner, polyvinyl chloride powder (PVC), and diesel exhaust particles. The Michaelis-Menten-like model was used to develop a relation in which the pulmonary clearance half time was a linear function of lung burden. After combining all data, linear regression techniques were applied to investigate the underlying relations. With the estimated intercepts and slopes, the Michaelis-Menten-like kinetic parameters kmax (maximal clearance rate) and m1/2 (a characteristic lung burden at which kmax is reduced by 50%) were derived for the four dusts.

RESULTS: The experimental data fit the linear regression very well (R2 = 0.989), suggesting that pulmonary clearance for the four dusts followed Michaelis-Menten-like kinetics. Values of the intercept terms were not significantly different among the four dusts (P = 0.294), indicating that the intrinsic clearance rates of F344 rats were the same among the four experiments. The intrinsic clearance half time was estimated to be 77.8 days, leading to an estimated kmax of 0.0089 day-1. However, the slopes of the linear relations were significantly different among the four dusts (P < 0.001). Values of m1/2 were ranked in the order of: Sb2O3 (0.69 mg) < photocopy test toner (0.97 mg) < diesel exhaust (2.49 mg) congruent to PVC (2.90 mg).

CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the Michaelis-Menten-like kinetic model reasonably describes the kinetic behavior of pulmonary clearance in F344 rats. The parameters m1/2 can be used to differentiate the potency of a particular dust for impairing pulmonary clearance.

description: A crescente sofisticação do uso do digital e o seu impacto tem proporcionado novos desafios e oportunidades, associadas com a gestão da informação. A gestão da informação, entendida como o ciclo de organização da informação, desde a sua criação até ao descarte, assegurando o acesso, guarda e o bom uso da informação, sofre, por via da transformação digital, um conjunto de desafios significativos. Um dos desafios maiores no contexto atual é o de interação com a sustentabilidade e, em especial, os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável, que constituem um novo referencial para a atividade no quadro das organizações, independentemente do seu estatuto. É assim proposta uma breve reflexão sobre a forma como os ODS podem ser enquadrados nas práticas de gestão da informação e qual o seu impacto no contexto da informação. Em complemento é realizada uma reflexão sobre o ecossistema digital com que atualmente somos confrontados.

description: The northern wolffish, A. denticulatus (Anarhichadidae), has both stout caniniform and molariform teeth fixed on their lower jaws. They are studied through sections of undecalcified teeth and with 3-D tomography. The histological characteristics, a reduce pulp cavity surrounded by a core of vasodentine with an external thin layer of enameloid, are close to that of the Atlantic wolffish, A. lupus. Moreover presence of plicidentine pleats on the wall of the pulp cavity is demonstrated. Yet, the development of plicidentine is relatively limited and of a simplexodont type. The development of plicidentine in the teeth is linked to the durophagous diet of A. denticulatus.

description: The problematics in respect of copyright literacy of specialists from information and cultural sector is a complex and significant – committed to the primary mission of libraries and cultural institutions as the most democratic places for access to information, knowledge, education, and culture for all citizens. Copyright specialization of professionals is required in response to the current and proposed amendments to national and international law and the specifics of working with new information carriers and new media, digital libraries, cloud structures, online education platforms, streaming services, the possibilities for creating personal digital content, etc. Surveys and analyses of the existing level of information and copyright literacy of professionals that have been made – show unsatisfactory results and reveal a serious problem that is neglected [...]

description: OBJECTIVES: To analyse the risk of stillbirth from 12 residential and occupational maternal exposures during pregnancy.

METHODS: Stillbirths and neonatal deaths in 1984 within 24 hours of birth from 10 California counties were identified from death certificates. Controls were randomly selected from live births born in 1984 and frequency matched to cases by maternal age and county. Data sources included vital statistics and a self-administered postal questionnaire. Logistic regression and proportional hazards modelling were performed; the proportional hazards considered the truncated opportunity for exposure among cases. Special focus was given to two cause of deaths groups: congenital anomalies (12% of deaths) and complications of the placenta, cord, and membranes (37% of deaths).

RESULTS: Occupational exposure to pesticides during the first two months of gestation was positively associated with stillbirths due to congenital anomalies (odds ratio (OR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.0 to 5.9), and during the first and second trimesters with stillbirths due to all causes of death (risk ratios (RR) 1.3-1.4, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.7) and stillbirths due to complications of the placenta, cord, and membranes (RR 1.6-1.7, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.3). Occupational exposure to video display terminals in the third trimester was found to have a modest inverse association with stillbirths (RR 0.7, 95% CI 0.6, 0.9). Home pesticide exposure was positively associated with stillbirths due to congenital anomalies (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.0 to 2.9).

CONCLUSIONS: Occupational exposure to pesticides, especially during early pregnancy, had a clear positive association with stillbirths regardless of cause of death. Methodologically, this study of stillbirths is unique in its analysis of specific causes of death and use of time specific exposure windows.

description: Information Management skills such as knowledge about content management, ability to analyze and synthesize information, analytical ability to combine and organize complex information, problem-solving ability and etc. are very important not only in permanently changing world, labor market as well as preparing to active participation in them. The ever-increasing amount of information, the emergence of new channels for its transmission, and the increasing opportunities for the creation and dissemination of information (especially in the online space) pose challenges not only in quantitative terms. Even more important is the selection of information, the development of its criteria, the assessment of the quality of information, the creative application of the information in solving various problems, and so on.

description: OBJECTIVES: To explore the effects of various factors related to the industry, the contaminant, and the period and type of sampling on long term declining trends in occupational exposure. METHODS: Linear regression analyses were used to assess the relation between reductions in exposure and geographical location, industrial sector, type of contaminant, type of monitoring, carcinogenic classification, calendar period, duration of sampling, and number of reductions in the threshold limit value during the sampling period. Both univariable and multivariable models were applied. RESULTS: Based on univariable analyses, the findings suggest that exposures declined more rapidly in manufacturing than in mining, more rapidly for aerosol contaminants than for vapours, and more rapidly when biological, rather than airborne, monitoring was conducted. Exposures collected more recently (first year of sampling in 1972 or later) fell more rapidly than exposures first evaluated during earlier periods. Irrespective of when the data were collected, the results also suggest that the longer the duration of sampling the slower the rate of decline. Taken together, we found that characteristics related to the contaminant, the industry, the sampling period, and the type of sampling explained a substantial proportion of the variability for exposures evaluated before 1972 (R2 = 0.78) and for sites evaluated both before and after 1972 (R2 = 0.91), but explained essentially no variation for data gathered exclusively after 1972 (R2 = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: By identifying factors that have affected the rates of reduction in a consistent fashion, the results should guide investigators in estimating historical levels when studies assessing exposure-response relations are carried out.

In primary classes, according to three different phases and modes of reception, it has been proposed audiovisual Kirikou and the Sorceress: animation feature film written and directed in 1998 by Michel Ocelot and audio described by the CNTHI, University of Salento in 2012 (Fiorucci, 2012; Pinnelli, 2012). Data analysis shows that the different modes of audiovisual enjoyment have allowed the classroom setting to live an unusual learning experience aimed at promoting, through the empathy and multisensoriality, inclusion at school. Audio descrizione e didattica inclusiva. Una ricerca sulla comprensione da ascolto e la capacità di immedesimazione. Il contributo presenta una ricerca quali-quantitativa finalizzata a valutare la funzionalità didattica, comprensione da ascolto del linguaggio narrativo-filmico e promozione dell’inclusione, dell’audio descrizione: un servizio di supporto il cui obiettivo principale è ridurre il deficit visivo, rendendo accessibile qualsiasi contenuto audiovisivo con appropriate descrizioni sostitutive. In nove classi primarie, secondo tre diverse fasi e modalità di fruizione, è stato proposto l’audiovisivo Kirikù e la strega Karabà: lungometraggio per bambini scritto e diretto nel 1998 da Michel Ocelot e audio descritto dal gruppo di ricerca del CNTHI dell’Università del Salento nel 2012 (Fiorucci, 2012; Pinnelli, 2012). L’analisi dei dati conferma che le diverse modalità di fruizione dell’audiovisivo hanno permesso al contesto classe di vivere una insolita esperienza di apprendimento orientata a promuovere, attraverso l’immedesimazione e la multisensorialità, l’inclusione a scuola.
