Effect of neonatal therapy on the motor, cognitive, and behavioral development of infants born preterm: a systematic review

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Aim To synthesize the existing literature and determine the efficacy of neonatal therapy, starting in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), on the motor, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes of infants born preterm. Method Databases were searched for randomized controlled trials or quasi‐randomized controlled trials of direct therapy early intervention for infants with a gestational age of less than 37 weeks, initiated in the NICU and delivered by a therapist or parent with therapist support. Quality was evaluated using the Cochrane standardized risk of bias assessment tool. Recommendations were made using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach. Results Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were categorized into four intervention categories: (1) parent‐delivered motor intervention (PDMI); (2) therapist‐delivered postural control intervention (TDPCI); (3) developmental care; and (4) oromotor intervention. Risk of bias varied from low (10 studies) to high (three studies) or was unclear (two studies). Interpretation Preliminary support indicates that daily PDMI improves motor and cognitive outcomes in the short‐term and possibly long‐term. TDPCI is effective in promoting short‐term gains in motor development. Developmental care programs designed by a neonatal therapist appear to be effective in improving short‐term behavior but are inconclusive for motor and cognitive outcomes or long‐term behavioral outcomes. Regarding oromotor interventions, there is insufficient research to be confident in their efficacy on improving developmental outcomes. What this paper adds Parent‐delivered motor interventions (PDMIs) are more effective in improving motor and cognitive outcomes than other interventions. Preliminary support indicates that daily PDMI improves motor and cognitive outcomes in the short‐ and possibly long‐term. Therapist‐delivered postural control interventions are effective in promoting short‐term gains in motor development. Developmental care programs designed by a neonatal therapist are effective in improving the short‐term behavior of infants born preterm. Oral motor interventions were found to have no effect on improving developmental outcomes.
Design Of Service-Oriented Pervasive System For Urban Computing In Cali Zoo (Openzoo)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The increasing popularity of wireless technologies and mobile computing devices has enabled new application areas and research. One of these new areas is pervasive systems in urban environments, because urban environments are characterized by high concentration of these technologies and devices. In this paper we will show the process of pervasive system design in urban environments, using as use case a local zoo in Cali, Colombia. Based on an ethnographic studio, we present the design of a pervasive system for urban computing based on service oriented architecture to controlled environment of Cali Zoo. In this paper, the reader will find a methodological approach for the design of similar systems, using data collection methods, conceptual frameworks for urban environments and considerations of analysis and design of service oriented systems.
Approaching Chord Tones from Below

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Chapter 4 discusses ways in which to ornament the root triad by approaching each chord tone from a half-step below. New rhythms are introduced that emphasize the importance of the upbeat or “and” of four in jazz. The Lesson Plan addresses how to move from chord to chord with these new melodic ornaments. The teacher’s notes cover upbeats and harmonic anticipation, intuitive jazz rhythm, and ornamenting major triads. Notes for the rhythm section cover lightly kicking upbeats in the drums and ornamenting chord voicings from a half-step below on piano and guitar.
Spatial-Temporal Data-Driven Model for Load Altering Attack Detection in Smart Power Distribution Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The widespread deployment of information and communication technologies in smart power distribution networks (SPDNs) exposes them to cyber threats. Among different types of cyber-attacks in such ICT-based SPDNs, load-altering attacks (LAAs) against high-wattage devices have received significant attention in recent years. In this context, this article proposes a data-driven detection model tailored for identifying and localizing LAAs in SPDNs. In this pursuit, first, the graph structure of an SPDN, which is obtained from the grid topology, and node features, i.e., measurements of the load's power, are fed to a graph attention network (GAT), and the spatial correlations among the nodes are captured. Alongside, the temporal correlations are captured using a long short-term memory model trained based on the graph representation obtained from the GAT. These spatial and temporal correlations are used by prediction and reconstruction models, i.e., a fully connected neural network and an auto-encoder. Finally, based on the error of the prediction and reconstruction blocks, an attack score for each load is calculated, and the compromised loads are detected and localized. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, a co-simulation framework, which simulates the power system and emulates the communication network using real industrial protocols, i.e., IEC 60870-5-104, has been developed. The robustness of the model's performance against noisy data and non-attack outliers is confirmed with respect to different noise levels and data outliers. Also, the developed model's superior performance over existing models is demonstrated through various LAA scenarios applied to the IEEE 33- and the 123-Bus benchmarks.
Biochemical and antioxidant properties of honey from Tetragonula iridipennis (Smith) of Southern Kerala

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The biochemical and antioxidant properties of stingless bee honey were analysed at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2013–15, to evaluate the quality parameters hitherto not reported in India. Honey collected from 15 locations each of midland and upland physiographic regions of southern Kerala were subjected to quality analysis. Parameters viz., flavanoids (220.09 mg catechin/kg), total poly phenols (879.84 mg catechol/kg), diastase (31.20 Diastase Number-DN), invertase activity (136.15 Invertase Number-IN) and antioxidant content (374.84 uM Fe 11/100 g) of the honey samples from upland was statistically superior to midland. The moisture content (20.45%) recorded from midland was significantly higher than the upland.
Binding of Injected Laminin to Developing Kidney Glomerular Mesangial Matrices and Basement Membranes In Vivo

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

During glomerular development, subendothelial and -epithelial basement membrane layers fuse to produce the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) shared by endothelial cells and epithelial podocytes. As glomeruli mature, additional basement membrane derived from podocytes is spliced into the fused GBM and loose mesangial matrices condense. The mechanisms for GBM fusion, splicing, and mesangial matrix condensation are not known but might involve intermolecular bond formation between matrix molecules. To test for laminin binding sites, we intravenously injected mouse laminin containing α1-, β1-, and γ1-chains into 2-day-old rats. Kidneys were immunolabeled for fluorescence and electron microscopy with domain-specific rat anti-mouse laminin monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which recognized only mouse and not endogenous rat laminin. Intense labeling for injected laminin was found in mesangial matrices and weaker labeling was seen in GBMs of maturing glomeruli. These patterns persisted for at least 2 weeks after injection. In control newborns receiving sheep IgG, no binding of injected protein was observed and laminin did not bind adult rat glomeruli. To assess which molecular domains might mediate binding to immature glomeruli, three proteolytic laminin fragments were affinity-isolated by MAbs and injected into newborns. These failed to bind glomeruli, presumably owing to enzymatic digestion of binding domains. Alternatively, stable incorporation may require multivalent laminin binding. We conclude that laminin binding sites are transiently present in developing glomeruli and may be functionally important for GBM assembly and mesangial matrix condensation.
The Effects of Tilt on Interferometric Rotation Sensors

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Ring-laser rotation sensors are contaminated by rotations around horizontal axes (also called tilts) through the vector product between the local normal direction and the vector of the rotation rate composed of Earth’s rotation and local ground rotations. In this study, we investigate theoretically this cross-axis sensitivity and estimate the effects based on magnitude–amplitude relations to be expected for observations of local earthquakes and teleseismic events. We investigate tilt-ring-laser coupling for rotational motions in the P coda of several past earthquakes using tilt motions derived from observed translations. The results show that compared to the corresponding vertical rotation rate tilt-ring-laser coupling is negligible for observations of teleseismic events and for the applicable range of the local magnitude scale.
The Anencephalic Newborn: Medical/legal and Bioethical Issues

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Anencephaly, a severe congenital malformation, is frequently associated with other malformations not involving the central nervous system. Diagnosis is usually antenatal and expectation of life is very short. This article reviews noted cases reported in the past two decades, examines bioethical opinions, as well as ethical and medico-legal questions in relation to current Italian law, including medical professional responsibility and the ''slippery slope'' of issues concerning the anencephalic newborn as organ donor.
A New Art: The Visual Music of Film

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This is a 1921 newspaper review of a screening of Walther Ruttmann’s Lichtspiel Opus I, widely recognized today as the first abstract animation to be publicly screened. Here, Diebold, who had been calling for such films since 1916, takes the opportunity to confirm his prior hypothesis in relation to Ruttmann’s film and to speculate about the future of such work.
0602 Determinants and Clinical Consequences of Treatment Emergent Central Sleep Apnea

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may precipitate central sleep apnea (CSA), also known as treatment emergent CSA (TECSA). However, the factors contributing to TECSA are not clear. The purpose of this study was to examine the key determinants and impact of Treatment Emergent CSA. The study was a retrospective analysis of consecutive Veteran patients (n=463), age >18 year, who were evaluated for sleep disordered breathing at the Detroit VA Medical Sleep Disorders Center in 2011, with either a baseline polysomnogram followed by PAP titration or with a split-night polysomnogram (n=304). TECSA was defined as the presence OSA (AHI>5/hour) without CSA at baseline, but with superimposed CSA (CAI≥5/hour) during PAP titration. Control group patients had OSA alone without TECSA or OSA with CSA on the diagnostic portion of the study. Comorbidities such as heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atrial fibrillation were recorded as well as the use of prescription narcotics and sedatives. Descriptive analyses and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed; presence/absence of TECSA was the dependent variable, whereas demographics, split-night/full-night PAP study, AHI, nadir oxygen saturation, comorbid factors and drug use or morphine equivalent dose were the independent variables. Ninety-six percent of Veterans were men (n=443). Mean standard deviation for key variables were: BMI 33.7 ± 6.7 kg/m2, baseline AHI 47.7 ± 34.6/hour, baseline nadir oxygen saturation 83.5 ± 7.5%, CAI on PAP 5.1 ± 10.7/hour OSA. TECSA was demonstrated in 131 out of 463 patients (28.3%). Multiple regression models demonstrated that only AHI severity (odds ratio, OR 1.01; 95% C.I. 1.007 to 1.021) and and the presence of CHF (OR 2.94; 95% C.I. 1.19 to 7.31, p=0.02) were significant predictors for the presence of TECSA, after adjusting for the occurrence of other comorbidities and prescription opioid/sedative use or the morphine equivalent dose. The severity of OSA at baseline and presence of CHF predicted TECSA, independent of other covariates. The impact of TECSA on long-term clinical outcomes needs to be studied further. None.
Efficient pricing of a bundled product of both real and reactive power

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This paper examines price mechanism with one price assigned for each level of bundled real and reactive power. Equilibrium allocation under this pricing approach raises system efficiency via better allocation of the reactive power reserves, neglected in the traditional pricing approach. Pricing reactive power separately is not very practical since its cost is highly dependent on the real power output. Equilibrium allocation of the bundled pricing was simulated on the simple 3-bus system power auction and compared with free reactive power optimal power flow solution. The efficiency of this approach was shown in the general case, and tested on the 30-bus IEEE network with piecewise linear cost functions of the generators.
Proposta de um indicador comunitário em saúde bucal

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A execução de políticas públicas que culminem na redução das iniqüidades em saúde bucal requer, dos gestores do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), planejamento de ações simplificadas, de alcance universal e com participação dos atores sociais envolvidos no processo. O Indicador Comunitário em Saúde Bucal – ICSB tem por objetivo constituir “nova tecnologia” para obtenção de dados, de maneira fácil e simples, que possam dar agilidade à organização de um planejamento com vistas à eqüidade, e com o intuito de melhorar a condição de saúde bucal da população. Como estratégia, envolvendo o agente comunitário de saúde (ACS) do Programa Saúde da Família (PSF), elaborou-se o instrumento (ICSB) para levantar dados da situação epidemiológica em saúde bucal da população. O desenho metodológico consiste, inicialmente, em oficina de treinamento para os ACS e posterior levantamento de dados junto à população. Os cirurgiões-dentistas, envolvidos no projeto, serão repassadores da oficina para os ACS na identificação dos problemas de saúde bucal e grau de severidade. Consi derando a necessidade de tratamento, o cirurgião-dentista desenvolverá as ações em Saúde Bucal com base no princípio da eqüidade.

Risks and safety for Australian children on the internet: full findings from the AU Kids Online survey of 9-16 year olds and their parents

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This report presents the AU findings for research in Australia which parallels the EU Kids Online project (see www.eukidsonline.net). Specifically, it includes selected findings, calculated and interpreted for Australia only, but with some comparisons made with the survey data and analysis reported in Livingstone, S., Haddon, L., Gorzig, A., and Olafsson, K. (2011). Risks and safety on the internet: The perspective of European children. Full Findings. LSE, London: EU Kids Online, and comparisons with some country reports of the 25 nations participating in EU Kids Online II. The Australian research was funded by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation in 2010 and involved 400 children and their families, a smaller sample than the 1,000 families per country in the other 25 nations. The fieldwork used the EU Kids Online surveys and protocols, but was conducted about 6 months later than in Europe.

Perceptions About Occupational Experiences by People Who Stutter

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We explored the perceptions about work experiences and discrimination that people who stutter (PWS) report. A total of 184 PWS responded to a paper and pencil or an online version of a questionnaire that included 13 Likert-type scale and demographics questions. Of the respondents, 68 completed a pencil and paper version of the questionnaire and 116 completed an online version. Participants reported that their stuttering affected some aspects of occupational experiences and that their employers had made negative judgments during job interviews and promotional opportunities due to stuttering. Conversely, participants reported that stuttering did not affect whether they were asked to perform supervisory activities, that their coworkers appeared to accept their stuttering, and that stuttering did not affect their choice of careers. Stuttering severity, gender, treatment experiences, type of employment, and differences in salary did not affect participants’ reports related to occupational experiences. Finally, there were no differences between the responses provided by participants responding to the paper and pencil or electronic versions of the survey. In this paper, we discuss relationships between these findings and past research studies exploring occupational experiences of people who stutter.
Evaluation of the Finnish AINO Programme 2004-2007

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The goal of the AINO programme was to develop collection, management and exploitation of real-time information and to create thereby prerequisites for ITS services improving the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the transport system. It is subdivided in five sub-programmes; Public Transport Information, Goods Transport Information, Transport Network Status Information, Driver Support and Service Framework. This evaluation study aimed to assess how the AINO programme had reached its objectives, whether the focus had been correct in view of global developments, how the results should be exploited, and how the R&D programme activities should be continued. The evaluation was based on interviews, assessment forms, information collected through desk study, reports, websites, European Commission documents etc. The programme achieved its project effectiveness, professional expertise and networking objectives. The financial incentive offered by AINO funding clearly provided impetus and delivered commitments in the organisations involved, public sector as well as private. More active conversation between projects within AINO as well as with the European R&D programmes could have been of added value regarding the exploitation of knowledge and findings of the projects. Progress was made specifically on the concepts and methods involved in multi-modal real-time services for passengers. Progress on real time services for freight shippers and commercial deliveries was less apparent. Recommendations are that future programmes on real-time multi-modal services should be organised in such a way that the stakeholders who will be responsible for development and implementation can easily build upon the results. Sufficient resources should be allocated to independent evaluation studies and fundamental innovative research. Results and findings from the projects that are not commercially sensitive should be published in detail and in a form accessible to the stakeholders. In addition there is a need for high-level summaries of results for decision-makers and the media. Lastly, in addition to research and development, further work is needed on the functional business models for multi-modal information services and on the implementation of AINO findings in separate transport investment programmes.

The impact of additional life‐table variables on excess mortality estimates

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Regression‐based relative survival models are commonly used in population‐based cancer studies to estimate the real impact on the excess mortality of covariates that influence overall mortality. Usually, the mortality observed in a study cohort is corrected by the expected mortality hazard in the general population, which is given by life tables provided by national statistics institutes. These life tables are stratified by age, sex, calendar year, and, sometimes, other demographic data (ethnicity, deprivation, and others). However, in most cases, the same demographic data are not available for the study cohort and the general population; this leads to differences between the expected mortality of the general population and that of the study cohort. More generally, the absence of some demographic variables in life tables may introduce a measurement bias into the estimation of the excess mortality. In the present article, we used a simulation approach with different plausible scenarios to evaluate the impact of an additional life‐table variable on excess mortality estimates and study the extent and the direction of the biases in estimating the effect of each covariate on the excess mortality. We showed that the use of life table that lacks stratification by a variable present in the excess hazard model results in a measurement bias not only in the estimate of the effect of this variable but also, to a lesser extent, in the estimates of the effects of the other covariates included in the model. We also demonstrated this measurement bias by a population‐based colorectal cancer analysis. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
