Politically disabled: barriers and facilitating factors affecting people with disabilities in political life within the European Union

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Diversity is a current buzzword in politics, but in the EU, people with disabilities are not achieving the gains made by women and ethnic minorities. This research examined barriers and facilitating factors through a literature review and interviews with politicians and political activists in five European countries. Six categories of barriers and facilitating factors were found: networks, recruitment and mentoring, resources (money, time and energy), the “hierarchy of impairments,” accessibility of political spaces and activities, and laws and policies. Key recommendations include removing access barriers to political participation, from voting to holding office, including physical and procedural barriers in political spaces; ensuring that equalities legislation covers politicians; eliminating barriers imposed by benefits systems; promoting direct support for political activists, candidates and office-holders with disabilities, including access to necessary services and supports; encouraging parties to recruit and mentor disabled people with leadership potential; and considering quotas and job-sharing. Points of interest Not many disabled people are active in politics. In the EU, about 15% of people have an impairment, but only around 1% of politicians do. Inclusion at school and in social groups makes it easier to get into political jobs or to try to get elected. Some disabled political activists, volunteers, candidates and office-holders don’t get the support they need. Political parties can help by finding disabled people, supporting them, and helping them get involved in politics. Our article provides several ideas about how to make it easier for disabled people to run for office and work in politics.

Salary sacrificing in Australia: are patterns of uptake and benefit different in the not‐for‐profit sector?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

A ustralia's tax arrangements enable employers to offer salary sacrificing as a way to increase levels of remuneration on offer, and to attract, motivate and retain staff. This article discusses the role of salary sacrificing in the not‐for‐profit sector, and contributes new evidence about who uses it, who benefits, and who might be missing out. Based on a large national household panel survey, we show that within the not‐for‐profit sector and across the workforce more broadly, salary sacrificing is unequally accessed by employees, with higher income earners reaping greater benefits. On the basis of uneven patterns of uptake and benefit, salary sacrificing offers only a limited strategy for addressing problems of low remuneration. Human resource practitioners in the not‐for‐profit sector should develop broader strategies to attract and retain staff, especially in lower paid positions, where salary sacrificing is both less likely to be utilised and less beneficial.

A semantic approach to retrieving, linking, and integrating heterogeneous geospatial data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

There is a tremendous amount of geospatial data available, and there are numerous methods for extracting, processing and integrating geospatial sources. However, end-users' ability to retrieve, combine, and integrate heterogeneous geospatial data is limited. This paper presents a new semantic approach that allows users to easily extract, link, and integrate geospatial data from various sources by demonstration in an interactive interface, which is implemented in a tool called Karma. First, we encapsulate the retrieval algorithms as web services and invoke the services to extract geospatial data from various sources. Then we model and publish the extracted geospatial data to RDF for eliminating the data heterogeneity. Finally, we link the geospatial data (in RDF) from different sources using a semantic matching algorithm and integrate them using SPARQL queries. This approach empowers end users to rapidly extract geospatial data from diverse sources, to easily eliminate heterogeneity and to semantically link and integrate sources.

Effectiveness of Stretching Exercise in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis-A Review of Literature

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common cause of heel pain it is a Common musculoskeletal foot disorder involving pain and gait problems.It mainly occurs during the middle age of 40 and 60 years in general population with prevalence of 11-15% [3].The causes of this disease is not clear but the most common theory say that it is due to repetitive micro trauma and chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia inserted on the medial tubercle of the calcaneus.The major contributing factors related to plantar fasciitis are Obesity, biomechanics of foot disturbances, poor foot wear, work related activity and over exertion.Overuse activity is the most common cause of injury such as running and jobs with prolong standing this will increases risk of micro trauma of the fascia.The normal presentation of plantar fasciitis includes gradual, insidious onset of inferior-medial heel pain of the insertion of the plantar fascia worse with rising morning or after prolonged weight bearing activities and exacerbated by climbing stairs or doing toes raises.
The application of two‐dimensional correlation spectroscopy to surface and interfacial analysis

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Generalized two‐dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D COS) is a modern analytical tool that is increasingly being used in the interpretation of complex spectra that have broad, multiply overlapped spectral features. Besides functioning as a spectral resolution–enhancement tool similar to curve‐fitting or deconvolution, 2D COS possesses an additional advantage in that it is capable of discerning temporal relationships between intensity variations within a set of spectra. Infrared reflection‐absorbance spectroscopy (IRRAS) at the air–water interface has been a very useful technique in studying the structure of biologically relevant molecules and the interaction between components of biological membranes in an environment close to what is found in nature. To better understand interfacial bio‐mimetic structure, 2D COS can be applied to the IRRAS spectra to analyze changes in infrared intensities as a function of an environmental perturbation such as a change in temperature or surface pressure. To overcome some of the inherent limitations of the generalized 2D method, model‐based approaches such as βν‐ and k ν‐correlation analyses and the global 2D phase angle method were developed. This review discusses some of the recent applications of these novel methods to Langmuir monolayers of phospholipids and proteins at the air–water interface and Langmuir–Blodgett polymer films.

OFFICIAL JOURNAL www.hgvs.org Germline Mutations of Inhibins in Early-Onset Ovarian

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

ABSTRACT: To identify novel genetic bases of early-onset epithelial ovarian tumors, we used the trio exome sequenc-ing strategy in a patient without familial history of cancer who presented metastatic serous ovarian adenocarcinomas at 21 years of age. We identified a single de novo mutation (c.1157A&gt;G/p.Asn386Ser) within the INHBA gene en-coding the βA-subunit of inhibins/activins, which play a key role in ovarian development. In vitro, this mutation al-ters the ratio of secreted activins and inhibins. In a second patient with early-onset serous borderline papillary cys-tadenoma, we identified an unreported germline mutation (c.179G&gt;T/p.Arg60Leu) of the INHA gene encoding the α-subunit, the partner of the βA-subunit. This mutation also alters the secreted activin/inhibin ratio, by disrupting both inhibin A and inhibin B biosynthesis. In a cohort of
Application of Lyapunov Theory and Fuzzy Logic to Control Shunt FACTS Devices for Enhancing Transient Stability in Multimachine System

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper proposes the control strategy of the shunt Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices to improve transient stability in multimachine power system. The multimachine power system has high nonlinear response after severe disturbance. The concept of Lyapunov energy function is applied to derive nonlinear control strategy and it was found that the time derivative of line voltage is not only can apply to control the shunt FACTS devices in multimachine system but also is locally measurable signal. The fuzzy logic control is also applied to overcome the uncertainty of various disturbances in multimachine power system. This paper presents the method of investigating the effect of the shunt FACTS devices on transient stability improvement. The proposed control strategy and the method of simulation are tested on the new England power system. It was found that the shunt FACTS devices based on the proposed nonlinear control strategy can improve transient stability of multimachine power system.
Reliability of Postsurgical Soft Tissue Reaction Grading Scales for Bone-anchored Hearing Implants

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: This study aims to assess and compare the reliability of the Holgers, the IPS, and the Tullamore scales for skin tolerability assessment of postoperative bone-anchored hearing implant images. Study Design: A survey study and retrospective review of percutaneous osseointegrated auditory implant images for scoring using three skin classification scales. Setting: McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Participants: Healthcare workers experienced and inexperienced with osseointegrated auditory implant skin classification scales. Main Outcome Measures: Participation involved completing: 1) survey questionnaires assessing experience with osseointegrated auditory implants and related skin reactions and 2) scoring postoperative osseointegrated auditory implant with surrounding skin images using the Holgers Classification, the IS (of the IPS) scale, and the Tullamore Classification. Participants were asked to rate 12 images of postoperative osseointegrated auditory implant and surrounding soft tissue. This process was repeated until participants scored all images using the three scales; each rater graded 36 images in total. The order in which scales were presented occurred at random. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to assess reliability. Results: Thirty-one participants were recruited to the study. Fourteen (45.2%) had experience with at least 1 osseointegrated auditory implant skin classification scale, while 17 (54.8%) did not have experience. The wide and overlapping 95% confidence intervals of the intraclass correlation coefficients results do not provide us with enough evidence to define a well-established degree and hierarchy of reliability when comparing the scales. Among experienced raters, all scales presented moderate to good reliability. Conclusions: The Holgers Classification, the IPS scale, and the Tullamore Classification all present moderate to good reliability when used by experienced raters to assess skin reactions following surgical implantation of an osseointegrated hearing device. As a result, clinicians should use these scales with a degree of caution. The findings of this study do not provide us with enough evidence to single out one of the scales as a standard to follow, but more extensive studies are required to assess the reliability of the scales.
An Analysis of the Objects and Methods of Mathematical Connections in Elementary Mathematics Instruction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Given the importance of mathematical connections in instruction, this paper analyzed the objects and the methods of mathematical connections according to the lesson flow featured in 20 elementary lessons selected as effective instructional methods by local educational offices in Korea. Mathematical connections tended to occur mainly in the introduction, the first activity, and the sum-up period of each lesson. The connection between mathematical concept and procedure was the most popular followed by the connection between concept and real-life context. The most prevalent method of mathematical connections was through communication, specifically the communication between the teacher and students, followed by representation. Overall it seems that the objects and the methods of mathematical connections were diverse and prevalent, but the detailed analysis of such cases showed the lack of meaningful connection. These results urge us to investigate reasons behind these seemingly good features but not-enough connections, and to suggest implications for well-connected mathematics teaching.
Tooth bleaching effect by nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma with humid condition

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tooth bleaching effect by the use of nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma supplied by humid air(humid air plasma) along with 5 %, 15 %, and 35 % of hydrogen peroxide(HP). A total number of 90 stained teeth were divided into 9 groups(n=10) and treated in different bleaching conditions: only HP, HP with air plasma, and HP with humid air plasma. Color changes(ΔE ) were measured after three consecutive bleaching using spectrophotometer and National Bureau of Standards systems. One-way ANOVA combined with post-hoc test using Tukey’s method was performed for the statistical analysis. The results showed that final ΔE values increased significantly in all groups(p<0.05), indicating the effective tooth bleaching. The most significant color changes were noted on samples treated with 15 % HP humid air plasma, 35 % HP air plasma and 35 % HP humid air plasma(p<0.05), but there were no significant differences amongst them(p>0.05). This study suggested that tooth treated by HP with humid air plasma is more effective for tooth bleaching compared to only HP and HP with air plasma. Lastly, it is concluded that using 15 % HP in conjunction with humid air plasma is more safe compared to simply using 35 % HP.
A Systematic Review of the Pharmacokinetics of Antiepileptic Drugs in Neonates With Refractory Seizures

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

BACKGROUND Neonatal seizures are associated with neurological sequelae and an increased risk of epilepsy later in life. Phenobarbital and phenytoin remain the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) most commonly used to treat neonatal seizures, despite their suboptimal effectiveness and safety. As a result, other AEDs, such as levetiracetam and topiramate, are often used in neonates with refractory seizures, despite limited data and off-label use. OBJECTIVES To systematically review published pharmacokinetic data for second-line AEDs used in neonates with seizures and to provide dosing recommendations for these agents in the neonatal population. METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed (1949-May 2012), Medline (1950-May 2012), and Embase (1980-May 2012). Each study was ranked according to the quality of evidence it provided, based on the classification system developed by the US Preventive Services Task Force. Information extracted from each study included study design, number of subjects, gestational and postnatal age, AED dosage regimen, pharmacokinetic parameters, pharmacokinetic model, AED serum concentrations, and sampling times. RESULTS Nineteen relevant pharmacokinetic studies involving a total of 8 different drugs were identified. No prospective, randomized, controlled studies (level I evidence) or nonrandomized controlled studies (level II-I evidence) were identified; 2 studies were prospective, nonrandomized, uncontrolled (cohort) studies (level II-2 evidence), 11 studies obtained evidence from multiple time series (level II-3 evidence), and 6 studies were case reports or descriptive studies (level III evidence). CONCLUSIONS There are limited pharmacokinetic data for the use of carbamazepine, levetiracetam, lidocaine, paraldehyde, topiramate, valproic acid, and vigabatrin for neonates with seizures refractory to treatment with first-line antiepileptic agents. Further research is needed to elucidate target AED serum concentrations (if any) required to optimize effectiveness and minimize dose-related adverse effects in neonates.
