Therapeutic considerations for infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Most institutions are experiencing increased numbers of methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis infections. Currently, vancomycin is the only antibiotic that provides reliable bactericidal activity against this microorganism, including methicillin-resistant strains. Vancomycin is the treatment of choice for infections caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci and for serious gram-positive infections in penicillin-allergic patients. With the emergence of more numerous and more serious gram-positive infections, this agent either alone or in combination with other antibiotics will clearly assume greater importance in the management of gram-positive infections, independent of host allergy or bacterial resistance. It is assuming a pivotal role in the treatment of gram-positive infections of central nervous system or dialysis shunts, endocarditis, meningitis, and septicemia. Except in patients with confirmed allergy to a beta-lactam antibiotic, vancomycin is not indicated for routine surgical prophylaxis. The current upsurge in methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections as a complication of implant surgery may necessitate its use as a prophylactic agent, however.

Bulletin No. 308 - A Farm Management Study of Farms with Dairy Enterprises in the Ogden Area, Utah, 1937-39

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Farmers in the irrigated sections of Utah are confronted by several difficult problems in the management of their farms. The farms are far distant from the consumption centers of the country which results in high freight rates and a need to produce concentrated products for market, and also in violent fluctuations in farm prices. The farms usually consist of relatively few crop acres which makes intensive usage necessary for an adequate sized business. Most farms also include a considerable acreage of land unsuited to tillage. The utilization of this land makes necessary the inclusion in the farm business of a forage-consuming livestock enterprise. Land values are high, as are some other fixed costs, such as land taxes and assessments for irrigation water. This also makes necessary a utilization of the land that will result in a relatively large income per acre.\nThis study was made for the purpose of adding some facts to the limited fund of information concerning the economic factors that affect the financial success or failure of farming under the conditions described. More specifically the objectives were: ( 1) to ascertain and emphasize the factors affecting the incomes from farming, and (2) to ascertain the place that dairy cows should occupy in the organization of farms under these conditions.
Treatment of noise phobias in dogs: a research project

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Noise phobias in dogs are becoming increasingly common, with around 80% of pets suffering from this condition. The increase in its prevalence has led to this study being undertaken looking into how owners are currently treating it. Data gathered by questionnaire were analysed to see if breed, age, sex or lifestyle altered the treatment used. Results revealed that dogs born in autumn and winter were less likely to develop a noise phobia, possibly because they are exposed to loud noises such as fireworks from a young age at that time of year. It was also found that many clients still aren't treating noise phobias at all. In conclusion, it was decided that tranquilisers should only be used as a last resort as they do not treat the underlying problem, they merely mask it. Wherever possible, noise phobias should be managed with the use of pheromones and herbal products/nutraceuticals. If the phobia is more severe, behavioural therapy should be trialled; however, for any treatment to work, client compliance is key.
[Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine].

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Acupuncture and other therapeutic techniques of traditional Chinese medicine (moxibustion, herbal therapy, massage and physiokinesitherapy, Chinese medical exercises) were introduced in Italy and Europe after the Second World War. Especially acupuncture is utilized in private and public health services; in Italy only medical doctors can practice acupuncture because it is considered a "medical act" from 1982. Some private schools organize four years courses of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and have acquired an interesting experience in teaching, clinical practice and editing in this field. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in USA stated, in a consensus conference held in November 1977, that "there is clear evidence that needle acupuncture is efficacious for adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and probably for the nausea of pregnancy".
Pursuit and escape drive fine-scale movement variation during migration in a temperate alpine ungulate

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Climate change reduces snowpack, advances snowmelt phenology, drives summer warming,alters growing season precipitation regimes, and consequently modifies vegetation phenologyin mountain systems. Altitudinal migrants cope with seasonal variation in such conditions bymoving between seasonal ranges at different elevations, but vertical movements may becomplex and are often not unidirectional during the spring migratory season. We uncoverdrivers of vertical movement variation in an endangered alpine specialist, Sierra Nevadabighorn sheep. We used integrated step-selection analysis to determine factors that promotevertical movements, and factors that drive selection of destinations after vertical movements.Our results reveal that high temperatures consistently drive uphill movements, and providesome evidence for the contribution of precipitation events to downhill movements.Furthermore, bighorn select destinations that have a high relative index of forage growth andmaximize delay since snowmelt. These results indicate that although Sierra bighorn seek outforaging opportunities related to landscape phenology, they compensate for short-termenvironmental stressors by undertaking brief vertical movements. Migrants may therefore beimpacted by future warming and increased storm frequency or intensity, both in terms of theirfine-scale vertical movements, and in terms of tradeoffs between forage access and predationrisk.
Species profiles: Life histories and environmental requirements of coastal fishes and invertebrates (North Atlantic): Sea scallop. [Plactopecten magellanicus]

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The sea scallop, Placopecten magellanicus, is a commercially important shellfish found from North Carolina to the Gulf of St. Lawrence in intertidal to deep waters. Scallops spawn at age 1 from July to October, releasing up to one million eggs each year. Up to 8 cm in size, scallops are active in response to disturbances, but those over 9 cm in size do not move. The US commercial fishery has been active for over 100 years, and landings in 1982 were 9700 t, valued at $78 million. Over 75% of the commercial landings of all scallops occur in New England, principally in Massachusetts. Scallops are collected by commercial dredges and scuba divers. A wide variety of animals prey on scallops, and predation by several species of fishes may increase following injuries caused by commercial dredges.
Genomic architecture of Shh dependent cochlear morphogenesis

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The mammalian cochlea develops from a ventral outgrowth of the otic vesicle in response to Shh signaling. Mouse embryos lacking Shh or its essential signal transduction components display cochlear agenesis, however, a detailed understanding of the transcriptional network mediating this process is unclear. Here, we describe an integrated genomic approach to identify Shh dependent genes and associated regulatory sequences that promote cochlear duct morphogenesis. A comparative transcriptome analysis of otic vesicles from mouse mutants exhibiting loss (Smoecko) and gain (Shh-P1) of Shh signaling reveal a set of Shh responsive genes partitioned into four expression categories in the ventral half of the otic vesicle. This target gene classification scheme provides novel insight into several unanticipated roles for Shh, including priming the cochlear epithelium for subsequent sensory development. We also mapped regions of open chromatin in the inner ear by ATAC-seq that, in combination with Gli2 ChIP-seq, identified inner ear enhancers in the vicinity of Shh responsive genes. These datasets are useful entry points for deciphering Shh dependent regulatory mechanisms involved in cochlear duct morphogenesis and establishment of its constituent cell types.
Non-destructive estimation of three-dimensional inelastic strain via nonlinear inverse analysis using displacement

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The service life of mechanical structures is influenced by the inelastic strain generated during manufacturing and operation. Therefore, non-destructive estimation of three-dimensional inelastic strain is essential to ensure structure safety even during operation. Accordingly, an inverse problem method was proposed to estimate the inelastic strain over the entire component based on the eigenstrain theory using non-destructively measured surface displacement. However, this method assumes micro-deformation, in which the causal inelastic strain and resulting displacement are linearly related. In practice, the value of inelastic strain is large, which results in large deformation and a nonlinear effect on displacement determined by the magnitude of the inelastic strain. This study considers the inverse problem of estimating the creep strain in a turbine blade for power generation from the displacement caused by the creep strain and proposes a method to derive the exact solution even for large deformation problems. Numerical simulations using a simplified turbine model show that the estimates converge to the correct solution value with relatively high accuracy in the absence of measurement errors. Moreover, the result of the iterative calculations used in the proposed method converge around the correct value, even in the presence of measurement errors in the displacement by the laser displacement meter.

A trust-based model for collaborative intrusion response

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Intrusion detection systems (JDS) are quickly becoming a standard component of a network security infrastructure. Most IDS developed to date emphasize detection; response is mainly concentrated on blocking a part of the network after an intrusion has been detected. This mechanism can help in temporarily stopping the intrusion, but such a limited response means that attacking is free for the attacker. The idea behind our approach is to frustrate the intruder by attacking back. This requires developing a sense of trust in the network for the attacked host and establishing proof of the attack so the attack-back action can be justified. In an environment of trust, a more effective collaborative action can be taken by the network entities. To develop this trust model, we propose a protocol that uses encryption and digital signatures over the network logs. The protocol allows the attacked host to prove to the attacker's edge router that it has been attacked. The model is quite flexible, and based on the level of trust developed for the host, an appropriate countermeasure is taken. Besides attack-back, other possible responses could be blocking a part of the network and use of network puzzles to limit the attacker's access to network resources. We also define a heuristic algorithm for selecting the appropriate response based on the level of trust developed for the victim. We believe that the attack-back approach would certainly demoralize novice attackers, and even expert attackers will think twice before attacking again. In addition, the protocol prevents a host from pretending that it has been attacked. We are building a system that can handle a majority of known attacks (signature-based). We are also exploring the idea of adding a third trusted party into the system in order to provide countermeasure action for novel attacks (anomaly-based).
Explicit Formulae for the Coefficients of Integrated Expansions of Jacobi Polynomials and Their Integrals

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A new formula expressing explicitly the integrals of Jacobi polynomials of any degree and for any order in terms of the Jacobi polynomials themselves is proved. Another new explicit formula relating the Jacobi coefficients of an expansion for an infinitely differentiable function that has been integrated an arbitrary number of times in terms of the coefficients of the original expansion of the function is also established. The results for ultraspherical polynomials, of which the Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials are important special cases, are noted. An application of these formulae for solving ordinary differential equations with varying coefficients is discussed.

Steps to an Ecology of Psychotherapy: The Legacy of Gregory Bateson

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The article addresses the relevance of the work of Gregory Bateson for psychotherapy today. Despite being quite eclipsed by other mental health paradigms, the author's ecological epistemology still seems to be topical for a proper framing of complex features such as psychological well‐being. Indeed, many approaches to psychotherapy, not only systemic‐relational approaches, affirm the crucial importance of context and the centrality of relationships in defining psychosocial functioning and making psychotherapies actually effective. This article recalls the most relevant contributions of Gregory Bateson for the understanding of communication and the functioning of the mind, from the original formulation of the double bind theory to the parallels between thought and biological processes. In this light, Bateson's view of mind and learning still appears to be a valuable framework for thinking about some of the more relevant aspects of psychotherapy, not least the issue of research and the social context in which psychotherapy itself takes place. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A Testing and Evaluation Method for the Car-Following Models of Automated Vehicles Based on Driving Simulator

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The continuous advancement of connected and automated driving technologies has garnered considerable public attention regarding the safety and reliability of automated vehicles (AVs). Comprehensive and efficient testing is essential before AVs can be deployed on public roads. Current mainstream testing methods involve high costs in real-world settings and limited immersion in numerical simulations. To address these challenges and facilitate testing in mixed traffic scenarios involving both human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and AVs, we propose a testing and evaluation approach using a driving simulator. Our methodology comprises three fundamental steps. First, we systematically classify scenario elements by drawing insights from the scenario generation logic of the driving simulator. Second, we establish an interactive traffic scenario that allows human drivers to manipulate vehicles within the simulator while AVs execute their decision and planning algorithms. Third, we introduce an evaluation method based on this testing approach, validated through a case study focused on car-following models. The experimental results confirm the efficiency of the simulation-based testing method and demonstrate how car-following efficiency and comfort decline with increased speeds. The proposed approach offers a cost-effective and comprehensive solution for testing, considering human driver behavior, making it a promising method for evaluating AVs in mixed traffic scenarios.
THE EFFECT OF SPIRITUAL CARE PROGRAM ON TREATMENT ADHERENCE OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background & Aim: Non-adherence to treatment in chronic diseases, especially in hemodialysis patients, is still a challenge that requires effective nursing interventions.This study was conducted to determine the effect of the spiritual care program on the adherence to treatment of hemodialysis patients. Materials & Methods:This study is a two-group randomized clinical trial study with a pre-test-posttest design conducted on hemodialysis patients referred to the hemodialysis departments of Urmia City hospitals in the second half of 2023.The study comprises two groups: a control group and an intervention group, each receiving routine care.For patients in the intervention group, the spiritual care program consisted of four one-hour sessions conducted individually and twice a week after hemodialysis in a suitable room in the hemodialysis department.In order to collect data, the questionnaires of patients' demographic information and The End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ) (Kim et al., 2010) were used before and after the intervention.Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests with SPSS version 22 statistical software.Results: The two groups were homogeneous and not statistically significantly different regarding demographic characteristics.The mean score of patients' adherences to treatment was 678.37 ± 85.62 before the intervention in the intervention group, and it was 682.69 ± 107.62 in the control group, which had no statistically significant difference (P=0.848).After the intervention, it reached 897.97 ± 139.98 in the intervention group and 694.87 ± 104.21 in the control group.The difference between the two groups was significant (p<0.001) and improved in the intervention group.Conclusions: The study's findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the spiritual care program in improving adherence to treatment among hemodialysis patients.This underscores the recommendation that nurses in hemodialysis wards focus on nursing interventions and incorporate the spiritual care program into their patient care plans.
