Discussions in Parent-Child-Triads during Transition to Adolescence: Developing New Categories.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Noting that the dynamics of interaction in the coparenting setting, the mother-father-child triad, may change substantially during the transition to adolescence and that there is a need for an observational tool that describes both the verbal and nonverbal aspects of triadic dynamics, this study examined the Coding System for Family Triads (CST), an intensive analysis of triadic discussion from videotaped conversations. Participating in this longitudinal study were 43 two-parent Caucasian middle-class families and their oldest child at the ages of 12, 13, 14, and 15 years. Parents and their child were given a discussion topic with the instruction to read the topic from a card (for example, When traveling together parents wish to visit a museum and the child does not. What will be the decision?) and discuss for about 2 minutes. Categories developed for the rating scale were: (1) formal aspects, such as who takes the card and who reads the discussion topic; (2) global rating of the triad, including seating arrangement, dominance of one dyad, outsider, closeness/cohesion, and openness; (3) child in front of parents, comprised of child as the center rating and child's orientation toward parents; and (4) course of discussion, including taking up the topic, triadic connection, dynamic, and solution when finished. The findings indicated that children experienced notably different communication environments according to the parent-parent communication quality. Discussions became more distant during the transition to adolescence, with increasing disagreements, declining cohesion, and more hypothetical discussion. Few gender differences were identified.

Performance assessment Of CMUTs in dual modality imaging/HIFU applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, multi-element arrays based on cMUT and piezoelectric technologies, using the same geometry, have been realized. The first part of the paper is focused on comparing both in terms of imaging performances. The CMUT is shown to be lower in sensivity but better in terms of bandwidth and resolution. The second part of the paper investigates the ability of the CMUT array for HIFU applications. The dual imaging-HIFU capability of the cMUT array is demonstrated. This is a new feature of the CMUT technology, as piezoelectric transducers are designed with a trade-off between bandwidth and transduction efficiency.
Radium Tracing Cross‐Shelf Fluxes of Nutrients in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Nutrients in surface waters of the northwest Pacific Ocean are known to be influenced significantly by anthropogenic inputs via the atmosphere. In this study, we evaluated the relative contribution of cross‐shelf fluxes in the northwest Pacific Ocean. The shelf fluxes were estimated by multiplying the 228 Ra flux based on inverse modeling by the measured ratios of nutrients to 228 Ra. The ratios were obtained from field observations of nutrients and 228 Ra in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea in February 2017 when the water column was fully mixed vertically. The cross‐shelf fluxes are estimated to be approximately 40% of the atmospheric depositional flux of nitrogen and 2 orders of magnitude greater than that of phosphorus. These results suggest that the cross‐shelf fluxes of nutrients are an important, yet previously underappreciated, pathway of nutrients to the North Pacific Ocean, controlling carbon sequestration and biological production.
Estimation and Compensation for Signal-Signal Beating Interference in Direct Detection Fiber-Optical Transmission Systems of OFDM Signals

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A mathematical model is developed for calculating the beating noise that occurs during photodetection of a single-band optical OFDM signal. The model allows one to estimate the spectral distribution of the beating noise and the distortion of the OFDM signal subcarrier levels due to fiber dispersion. The influence of the beating noise on orthogonal subcarrier channels, possible ways of increasing the system transmission capacity, and the method of noise compensation on the receiving side are investigated.

Weight Changes in Fecal Microbiota Transplant for Clostridium difficile

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) for relapsing Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) allows for rapid repopulation of the colonic microbiome and may prevent future relapses. FMT is considered safe, however subsequent impact on weight and metabolism are incompletely understood. Animal studies have shown that alterations in microbiota lead to changes in weight; this is also suggested in humans, based on limited anecdotal evidence. This study explores changes in weight associated with FMT. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent FMT at our 1100-bed community-based academic healthcare system. FMT protocol requires 2 documented CDI relapses and failed vancomycin taper. FMT methods include colonoscopy, EGD and oral capsules. Of note, donor stool (OpenBiome, Boston, Massachusetts) criteria include BMI &lt;30. We conducted chart review for documented provider-measured weights pre- and post- FMT (≤ 1 year), and compared pre-FMT weights to last recorded weight within 1-year period. We also evaluated weights in a subset of patients in the acute (2–6 week post FMT) timeframe. Results Between Apr 2014- Oct 2016, 41 patients underwent FMT. Of these, 31 (75%) patients had adequate weight data available for review (Table). Overall patients gained an average 2.4%. During the acute phase, 20 patients (65%) had documented weights; of these 50% lost and 50% gained weight, with overall weight loss of 0.7%. Conclusion In this limited population, it appears FMT may predispose to weight gain, which may reflect improved health with CDI cure. However, effects of FMT on patient’s microbiomes must also be considered. As this intervention becomes more widely used we must be increasingly aware of possible metabolic side effects and ensure documentation of weight changes as part of FMT protocols.

Two sides to every story: Sex hormones, brain lateralization and gender development

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Ondanks een overvloed aan hersenstudies is één van de meest fundamentele basisprincipes van de hersenen – het feit dat we twee hersenhelften hebben met elk hun eigen specialisatie – nog altijd een mysterie. Deze hersenlateralisatie verschilt enigszins tussen mannen en vrouwen en daarom wordt gedacht dat het geslachtshormoon testosteron vóór de geboorte de hersenlateralisatie beïnvloedt als onderdeel van het proces waarbij ook andere sekseverschillen tot stand komen. De literatuur is hier echter niet éénduidig over, mogelijk doordat de noch rol van oestradiol (een ander geslachthormoon) noch de rol van hormonen in de puberteit (een andere belangrijke levensfase) is onderzocht. Ik onderzocht de invloed van testosteron en oestradiol vóór de geboorte en in de puberteit op de ontwikkeling van hersenlateralisatie. Daarnaast onderzocht ik de invloed van deze hormonen op de ontwikkeling van sekseverschillen in gedrag, namelijk genderidentiteit en rolgedrag. Hiervoor maakte ik gebruik van twee unieke data sets: 1) Een studie waarin we kinderen van vóór de geboorte (via een vruchtwaterpunctie bij de moeders) tot in de puberteit volgden. 2) Een studie naar de invloed van hormoontoediening op hersenlateralisatie bij adolescenten met genderdysforie (“transgenders”). Ik vond het volgende: 1. Hersenlateralisatie en genderontwikkeling zijn hele verschillende uitkomstmaten, maar we zagen overeenkomsten in de invloed van geslachtshormonen op beiden. 2. De invloed van hormonen in de puberteit hangt af van de blootstelling aan hormonen vóór de geboorte. 3. Naast testosteron speelt ook oestradiol een belangrijke rol. 4. Het effect van geslachtshormonen hangt af van de ontwikkelingsfase, de cognitieve taak en het geslacht van de deelnemer.

Influence of herbicides and nitrogen levels on weed dynamics and durum wheat (Triticum durum desf.) yield

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Field trials were conducted during rabi 2007-08 and 2008-09 to find out an appropriate herbicidal recommendation and rate of nitrogen application to augment durum wheat productivity. The twenty seven treatment combinations comprising nine herbicides (weedy check, 2, 4-D at 400 g ha-1, Metsulfuron at 4 g ha-1, Isoproturon at 750 g ha-1, Sulfosulfuron at 25 g ha-1, tank mixtures of 2, 4-D at 400 g ha-1and Metsulfuron at 4 g ha-1 with Isoproturon at 750 g ha-1 and Sulfosulfuron at 25 g ha-1) and three nitrogen levels (60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1) were tested in a split-plot design in three replications. The results revealed that the mixed population of weeds comprising broadleaf and grassy was significantly controlled by applying the herbicide mixtures than their individual applications. The Metsulfuron + Sulfosulfuron mixture resulted in minimum density and dry matter of weeds and NPK uptake by them. The simultaneous increase in NPK uptake by crop by applying this treatment resulted in significantly higher (45.2 & 49.6%) wheat grain yield over weedy check during two respective years of study. The advancing levels of nitrogen over a range of 60 to 120 kg ha-1 were associated with increased NPK uptake by durum wheat and simultaneously significantly higher grain yield by 25.4 & 25.2 % during the two consecutive years of the experiment.
Commonwealth initiatives in the tracing, seizing, freezing and forfeiture of drug proceeds.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Commonwealth Law Ministers have recognized that improved domestic measures for tracing, seizing, freezing and forfeiting illegally acquired assets, including the proceeds of drug trafficking, should be complemented by international initiatives. To this end, the Commonwealth Secretariat is formulating a Commonwealth scheme for mutual judicial assistance in criminal matters to strengthen the ability of national authorities to investigate, prosecute and convict international drug traffickers. Work is also being done to develop model legislation governing the attachment of assets believed to have been illegally acquired. In addition, the Commonwealth Commercial Crime Unit has for the past three years been developing intelligence on illicit money operations relating to drug traffickers and other organized criminals. The Commonwealth Secretariat considers that the fight against organized drug crimes requires a wide-ranged response, including improved laws, greater training and education and increased international cooperation.
Feminism and Disability

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article has its roots in a series of seminars on Researching Physical Disability, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. As a feminist I should have felt a sense of unity with other feminist researchers attending the seminars and there certainly were occasions when a sense of sisterly solidarity prevailed against the way that some of the male participants operated. As a disabled woman, however, I felt a deep sense of alienation from the nondisabled feminists present and anger that there seemed to be an assumption that they were 'on the same side' as me. This alienation and anger comes from the failure of feminism to integrate the concerns of disabled women into its theory, methodology, research and politics. My sense of alienation also extends to Feminist Review for, looking at my copies of back issues of this journal, the only reference to disability is a book review which I myself wrote in 1989. (Nasa Begum's article Disabled Women and the FeministAgenda, was published in FR40 after this article was written.) My confidence that this is an appropriate forum for this article falters. Yet I believe that feminism itself is the poorer for its failure to address the concerns of disabled women. Coming at it from another angle, I also believe that feminist theory and methodology has a major contribution to make to disability research. The alienation and anger that I feel stem from two characteristics of feminism: firstly, the way in which disability is generally invisible in terms of feminism's mainstream agenda; secondly, the way in which, when disability is a subject for research by feminists, the researchers fail to take on the subjective reality of disabled people, instead objectifying us so that the research is alienated from our experience.
Large Deviation Principle for Multi-Scale Fully Local Monotone Stochastic Dynamical Systems with Multiplicative Noise

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper is devoted to proving the small noise asymptotic behaviour, particularly large deviation principle, for multi-scale stochastic dynamical systems with fully local monotone coefficients driven by multiplicative noise. The main techniques are based on a combination of the weak convergence approach, the time discretization technique and the theory of pseudo-monotone operator. The main results derived in this paper have broad applicability to various multi-scale models, where the slow component could be such as stochastic porous medium equations, stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equations and stochastic 2D Liquid crystal equations.
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) Distribution in Thailand: a dataset

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Here, we introduce a comprehensive dataset detailing the distribution of mosquitoes in Thailand. This curated biological compilation encompasses a total of 12,278 records, spanning across at least 117 distinct mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae). Predominantly, these species belong to the genera Aedes, Anopheles, Armigeres, Culex, and Mansonia. The dataset's contents were amassed through regular mosquito surveillance initiatives and dedicated research projects conducted between 2007 and 2023. These efforts covered a vast expanse of 1,725 distinct locations situated within 66 out of Thailand's 77 provinces. The primary source of the data stems from the Thai database affiliated with the Thailand Malaria Elimination Program. To broaden the accessibility of mosquito-centric research and to encourage further exploration into Thailand's mosquito diversity, the dataset has undergone translation into English. As part of our commitment to facilitating knowledge dissemination, we have published this dataset on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) platform. By taking this step, we aim to provide researchers across the globe with the means to delve into this valuable resource.
New experimental approaches for the characterization of compliant press-fit pins in plated-through holes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

New experimental approaches are demonstrated to reveal more detailed physical characteristics that govern the performance and reliability of compliant press-fit pin/plated through hole assemblies as compared to common methods involving peak insertion and withdrawal force measurements. These approaches include: (1) measurement of the withdrawal force-displacement profile with high-speed techniques. (2) microdisplacement tests involving displacement in the micron range, and (3) long-term cyclic microdisplacement tests in a controlled environment. The results of these tests provide, respectively, information on: (1) the withdrawl energy and contact area. (2) the stiffness of the assembly, which relates to bond strength and contact area, and (3), the effects of fretting from thermal displacement cycles.< >
A Unifying Approach to Process Capability Indices

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Much controversy surrounds the use of process capability indices in quality assurance programs. Some of the controversies include the indices legitimacy and consistency in monitoring improvement, their abuse by practitioners in using estimates as parameters, and the appropriateness of an index in particular applications. Through the use of a weight function, a unified approach for some common indices is presented, and several properties associated with the various indices are examined. Elucidation of the relationships and statistical properties associated with the various indices may assist in reducing some of the controversies that currently exist.
Integrating directional constraints in motion planning using nonlinear, anisotropic, harmonic potential fields

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper addresses an important problem that has remained, to the best of the author's knowledge, neglected in the motion planning literature. That is the incorporation of directional constraints along with obstacle avoidance in steering a robot to a target zone. The available motion planners deal exclusively with isotropic workspaces that place no restrictions on the direction of motion in their interior. Unfortunately, realistic workspaces do not support the above behavior. Instead, they impose a priori known restrictions on the direction of motion inside a workspace (e.g., ENTER and EXIT signs, direction of traffic along a one-way street). In this paper harmonic field motion planners which can only deal with isotropic workspaces are generalized to incorporate anisotropic workspaces with preimposed directional constraints. Theoretical developments along with simulation results are provided.
Understanding consumption patterns of the established and emerging South African black middle class

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Existing empirical research on consumption patterns of the South African black middle class leans either on the theory of conspicuous consumption or culture-specific utility functions. This paper departs from treatment of the black middle class as a homogeneous group. By differentiating between a securely established group, with characteristics and consumption patterns similar to the white middle class, and an emerging group, often with weaker productive characteristics, the paper formally introduces economic vulnerability as a driver of consumption patterns. Households new to the middle class or uncertain of continued class membership are viewed as vulnerable. Consumption patterns of the emerging black middle class are observed to diverge substantially from the other groups, in terms of greater signalling of social status via visible consumption and preoccupation with reducing an historical asset deficit. We expect many of its members to join the established classes over time, converging to a new 'middle class mean'.

DEATH FROM AIR EMBOLISM FOLLOWING PERIRENAL INSUFFLATION

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The incidence of air embolism is not high, but it is a potential danger whenever air is injected into any organ or tissue of the body. The increasing popularity of perirenal insufflation as an aid in the diagnosis of tumors of the retroperitoneum makes pertinent a note of warning concerning the method. The literature abounds with clinical reports of death from gas embolism following the introduction of air or oxygen into the urethra, bladder, uterus, pleura, peritoneum or blood stream. It would be paradoxical to assume that the retroperitoneal space is endowed with an invulnerability which these other structures do not enjoy. I cite a case from my own experience to attest the fact that this region is subject to the same hazard. A white woman aged 38 entered the hospital complaining of a swelling in her right flank of four months' duration. On physical examination a smooth, extremely hard
