Contours of Transnational Contact: Kid Chocolate, Cuba, and the United States in the 1920s and 1930s

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Boxer Kid Chocolate was one of the most prominent and popular athletes in Cuba in the 1920s and 1930s. An analysis of his career and the reasons for his popularity in Cuba shed light on the cultural dimensions of U.S.-Cuban relations during this time. Appreciation of the career of Kid Chocolate in both the U.S. and Cuba suggests that Cubans and Americans shared a cultural world that centered on the appreciation of sport in general and was characterized by extensive Cuban consumption of North American sporting culture. But Cubans were not simply passive consumers of this culture. Instead they infused their own meaning into the career of Kid Chocolate, subtly invoking it as a challenge to North American hegemony in Cuba while also critiquing North American racism.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Nephrolithiasis in children is an important cause of morbidity worldwide. The current retrospective study aims at identifying epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of nephrolithiasis among children under 18 years old attending at nephrology clinic of Amir Kabir hospital of Arak, Iran, in 2014. Methods: The current case-control study was conducted among 166 children in 2 equal groups of cases (with nephrolithiasis) and controls (without kidney stone). Clinical and paraclinical characteristics of children along with their sociodemographic and risk factors were collected. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 using Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results: The current study showed that the most common symptoms of pediatric nephrolithiasis included fever (81.1%), urine discoloration (8.4%), pain (6%) and dysuria (3.6%). Urinary tract infection (42.2%) was the most common cause to seek medical care. The present study findings revealed series of predicative factors for nephrolithiasis including father's occupation, growth retardation, type of nutrition during infancy, weight-for-age percentile, body mass index (BMI), and gestational age. Conclusions: Findings of the current study, which require further consideration, identified common symptoms of nephrolithiasis in children. Future studies are greatly recommended to investigate risk factors of pediatric nephrolithiasis along with confounders in studies with a larger sample size.

Motivation of Shoulder Surgery Patients for Rehabilitation

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

International Journal of Exercise Science 10(2): 234-245, 2017 Motivation can be a valuable construct during physical rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can be uncomfortable and painful, testing patients’ rehabilitation motivation and continued participation. Maintaining motivation throughout rehabilitation is important for patients to return to optimal joint motion and daily functioning. The purpose of this research project was to examine rehabilitation motivation after shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repairs, slap repairs, biceps tenodesis, acromioplasty, distal clavicle excision or combination). Persons who underwent shoulder surgery (December 2014 – April 2015) voluntarily participated in the study. The Self Regulation Questionnaire was used to assess patients’ self-regulation and motivation. Surveys were administered to participants during rehabilitation at appointments with the physician. This study revealed significant changes to participants’ self-regulation throughout the 16-week post shoulder surgical rehabilitation process. Significant increases were discovered when looking at patients’ attention to goals and employing strategies to meet those goals. Other main areas of increase included problem solving, planning rehabilitation outside of therapy and coping with challenging times in rehabilitation. Data allows researchers and health care professionals to evaluate the dynamics of motivation fluctuation during rehabilitation. In addition, data will allow researchers to identify areas of motivational concern to implement motivation techniques in order to aid patients through rehabilitation.

Relationship Between Parental Marital Status and Levels of Self-Esteem Among Undergraduate Students in Public Universities in Kenya: A Case of University of Kabianga

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Kenyan universities have experienced a growing phenomenon of student’s unrest, drug abuse, deaths, relationship break ups, exam malpractice among others, which pose serious challenges in the growth and development of the students. Feelings of self-worth develop very early in childhood, thus parents and guardians play a great role in determining what the child thinks about him or herself. Self-esteem of children from either single or married parent families is important as it has a direct impact on the child’s behavior in school. This study investigated the influence of parental marital status on students’ self-esteem in universities. Causal-comparative research design guided the study. The target population included 840 fourth year students from the University of Kabianga. Proportionate stratified sampling and simple random sampling was utilized to identify a sample size of 271 male and female students. Data was collected by use of a questionnaire. The study established a statistically significant difference (t2.386= 115.788, p < 0.05) between parental marital status and the level of self-esteem among undergraduate students in University of Kabianga. Students from married parent families recorded higher level of self-esteem to students from single parent family. The study concludes that parental marital status has a positive relationship on undergraduate students’ self-esteem in universities. The study also recommends strategies to improve students’ levels of self-esteem. The students should seek and train for self-esteem based counseling even when they are not encountering serious problems.

[Acute hepatitis caused by isaxonine phosphate (Nerfactor)].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

We report the cases of four adult patients suffering from acute hepatitis due to isaxonine phosphate (Nerfactor), a drug recently proposed for the treatment of the lesions of peripheral nerves. Hepatitis developed 14 to 166 days after the beginning of the administration of the drug. In all the patients, predominantly centrilobular hepatocytic necrosis was present. In two of our patients, the course of hepatitis was fatal. Hepatitis induced by isaxonine phosphate is likely to be due to an immuno-allergic mechanism.
<title>Simulation of ultrasonic measurement on a bolt in a shear joint</title>

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An instrument called the ultrasonic extensometer is used to measure tensile preload in bolts used in structural joints. In this paper, the same instrument is used in a different way to measure change in the ultrasonic measurements due to bending in the bolts. A theory and numerical model for the ultrasonic measurements are developed. The bending load results in a rotation and translation of the ultrasonic pulse reflecting face. The load also creates a stress gradient in the bolt. This results in a phase variation (or gradient) in the received ultrasonic beam across the face of transducer. The load also results in a physical shift in the received beam relative to the ultrasonic transducer. The phase gradient and shift in the beam cause a change in the pulse transit time. A numerical example chooses a bolt whose experimental preload characteristic had been published previously by the author. The example displays simulated ultrasonic waveforms before and after subjecting the bolt to bending loads. The simulated preload characteristic was compared to the experimental characteristic. The two characteristics indicate some agreement.

Comparison of Intramuscular and Intravenous Recombinant Alpha-2 Interferon in Melanoma and Other Cancers

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In two phase I-II trials, 33 patients were given recombinant interferon alpha-2 daily at dosages of 3, 10, 30, 50, or 100 MU/d for up to 4 weeks by intramuscular or intravenous routes. Dose-limiting toxicities, including neutropenia, elevated hepatocellular enzyme levels, fatigue, and disturbed mentation, correlated with differing serum pharmacokinetics of interferon in the two trials. In the intramuscular study, dose-limiting toxicity occurred at all dosages greater than 10 MU/d, at a median of 6 to 9 days of treatment. In the intravenous dose-study, limiting toxicity was seen only at dosages of 100 MU/d, at a median of day 8. Twenty-three patients had metastatic melanoma and 4 had objective partial or complete responses at dosages of 10 to 50 MU/d in the first month. Two patients with complete responses are free of tumor after 2.5 years of follow-up. A fifth patient had delayed complete regression, requiring 1 year to achieve maximum response, but remains free of disease at 26 months since entry to the trial. Interferon had antitumor activity against melanoma by both routes tested, at dosages of 10 to 50 MU/d.
Assessment of alcohol histories obtained from patients with liver disease: Opportunities to improve early intervention

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Alcohol is an important primary and co-morbid cause of liver injury in patients referred for investigation and management of liver disease. Early assessment and documentation of alcohol consumption is therefore essential, and recommended in both general practice and hospital settings.Aims: To determine the extent and accuracy of documentation of alcohol consumption in patients referred for evaluation of liver disease.Methods: Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The medical records of all patients interviewed were reviewed to obtain information from the referral letter and the hepatology consultations.Results: 83 patients were surveyed. Only 14 referrals had an informative alcohol history, despite 27 patients admitting risky alcohol consumption at the initial hepatology consultation. 90% of initial consultations had an informative alcohol history documented, whereas only 56% of patients attending a follow-up appointment had informative documentation. Assessment of alcohol consumption was comparable between the hepatology consultation and the structured questionnaire, but 4 subjects had substantially different alcohol histories. AUDIT identified all patients reporting harmful alcohol consumption on the questionnaire.Conclusions: Hazardous alcohol use is prevalent in subjects attending hepatology clinics, but informative alcohol histories which are crucial to patient management, are rarely documented in referrals. Screening tools improve documentation and accuracy of alcohol histories and their use by general practitioners and hospital clinicians would improve detection rates of hazardous drinking and allow earlier intervention. Systematic use of screening tools in hepatology clinics will provide opportunities for education and reinforce recommendations to reduce hazardous or harmful alcohol consumption.
Unity of Effort in Joint Information Operations

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Although information operations have long existed, it was only recently that joint doctrine began including such multidimensional operations in a systematic manner. In addition, the Nation has yet to conduct joint information operations (JIO) utilizing a full range of capabilities public affairs, civil affairs, psychological operations, operations security, and deception. There is a legal dimension to information operations that is critical to their use. The United States has signed various bilateral and multilateral agreements that affect information operations. As Joint Pub 3-13, Joint Information Operations, states: [information operations] may involve complex legal issues requiring careful review and national-level coordination . . . planners should understand the limitations that may be placed on [campaigns] across the range of military operations. Beyond such statements, however, there is little help for joint planners in maneuvering through the legal maze and even less training available to facilitate this information effort.

Indoor radon measurements in Ny-Ålesund, the northernmost civilian settlement in the world

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Ny-Ålesund is situated at 78° 55´ N, 11° 56´ E on the west coast of Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago and is a centre for international Arctic scientific research and environmental monitoring. Since 1916 to 1963 was an old coal mining town. Exposure to indoor radon has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. In an indoor environment, there are many factors affecting indoor radon concentrations. Those factors could be different in the Arctic regions. [1] It is well known that the Council Directive 2013/59 / Euratom of 5 December 2013, article 74, says that "Member States shall establish national reference levels for indoor radon concentrations. The reference levels for the annual average activity concentration in air shall not be higher than 300 Bq m -3" so it is important to know the radon concentration in different places. Indoor radon activity measurements were carried out in different locations at Ny-Ålesund: Koldewey base (German base), KingsBay dining room, Marine Laboratory, and Gym facilities with five AlphaE devices from Saphymo GmbH. The AlphaE is an ultra small continuous radon monitor for professional use, based on a silicon diffusion chamber.The calculation of dose is possible due to a user-settable equilibrium factor. Indoor radon measurements were carried out from 3 to 27 September 2014. The values show low average level of indoor radon in the different analyzed buildings, with a geometrical mean of 60 Bq/m3 with a maximun value of 145 Bq/m3 in the Koldewey building. So the radiation exposure levels for workers and scientific personnel represents only a low percentage of the exposure guides for the general population.
The Nuclear Quadrupole Interaction of 204mPb in Cadmium Monitored by γ–γ –Perturbed Angular Correlations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

For the first time the nuclear probe 204mPb was produced at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE at CERN and used for time differential perturbed angular correlation experiments. The electric field gradient of 204m Pb at room temperature in Cd metal was determined to be = 19(1) 10 21 V/m 2 . Ab initio-calculations of the electric field gradient for the impurities Pt to Bi in cadmium were performed with the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves code WIEN97 to interpret this result. For Au, Hg and Pb, where experimental results are now available, these agree with the calculations within 10 %.
Development of a fiber-coupled laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy instrument for analysis of underwater debris in a nuclear reactor core

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To inspect the post-accident nuclear core reactor of the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (F1-NPP), a transportable fiber-coupled laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument has been developed. The developed LIBS instrument was designed to analyze underwater samples in a high-radiation field by single-pulse breakdown with gas flow or double-pulse breakdown. To check the feasibility of the assembled fiber-coupled LIBS instrument for the analysis of debris material (mixture of the fuel core, fuel cladding, construction material and so on) in the F1-NPP, we investigated the influence of the radiation dose on the optical transmittance of the laser delivery fiber, compared data quality among various LIBS techniques for an underwater sample and studied the feasibility of the fiber-coupled LIBS system in an analysis of the underwater sample of the simulated debris in F1-NPP. In a feasible study conducted by using simulated debris, which was a mixture of CeO2 (surrogate of UO2), ZrO2 and Fe, we selected atomic lines suitable for the analysis of materials, and prepared calibration curves for the component elements. The feasible study has guaranteed that the developed fiber-coupled LIBS system is applicable for analyzing the debris materials in the F1-NPP.
Pharmacoeconomics and developing nations

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The scarcity of resources within both industrialized and developing nations has catalyzed the adoption of more formalized approaches to support decisionmaking, particularly within healthcare. In many instances, however, the unique aspects present within developing countries may not permit the direct translation of pharmacoeconomic guidelines or recommendations from high-income economies. The purpose of this paper is to delineate the key attributes that differentiate pharmacoeconomics within developing nations, including the potential barriers to implementation and policy considerations involved. Through its approach to comprehensively assess costs and outcomes of technologies, pharmacoeconomic methodologies may help foster the optimal allocation of resources to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of healthcare delivery for societies worldwide.

Assessing the mess: challenges to assemblage theory and teacher education

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article examines the Deleuzian concept of 'assemblage' in educational research in the context of Teacher Education (TE) for the 'continuing education' or 'Lifelong Learning' sector. Drawing on Deleuze's creative approach to analysis, it draws a portrait of practice which identifies problems and successes in specific cases of TE with wider applicability. I argue that the concept of assemblage recognises developmental practices in distinctive ways and that it challenges the centripetal views implied by other models' elision of more specific types of convergence, each of which is analysed. This is followed by suggestions which could help provide scope for creativity in research and practice in TE, if a set of challenges can be met. I argue that a situated and dynamic epistemological model is offered by assemblage theory which recognises not just the spatial but also the temporal and political complexities of actual practice.
MEASURING LEAF WATER CONTENT USING MULTISPECTRAL TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Climate change is increasing the amount and intensity of disturbance events, i.e. drought, pest insect outbreaks and fungal pathogens, in forests worldwide. Leaf water content (LWC) is an early indicator of tree stress that can be measured remotely using multispectral terrestrial laser scanning (MS-TLS). LWC affects leaf reflectance in the shortwave infrared spectrum which can be used to predict LWC from spatially explicit MS-TLS intensity data. Here, we investigated the relationship between LWC and MS-TLS intensity features at 690 nm, 905 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths with Norway spruce seedlings in greenhouse conditions. We found that a simple ratio of 905 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths was able to explain 84 % of the variation (R2) in LWC with a respective prediction accuracy of 0.0041 g/cm2. Our results showed that MS-TLS can be used to estimate LWC with a reasonable accuracy in environmentally stable conditions.
