Connaissance et reconnaissance d'une série olfactive chez l'enfant préscolaire

Children's verbal descriptions of odors were studied in kindergarden, and their performances to an identification test were compared with young adult 's ones. Due to the limited verbal capacities of this age, categorization questions were also asked to children, in order to assess their knowledge of the same odors. Furthermore, by training with odors and their names, we evaluated the effect of learning on naming performance. The results show that 5 years old children already have a knowledge on most common odors, although they may be very bad at identifying them. The difference with adult denomination performance is partly attribuable to response bias, and not only to a lack of vocabulary. Learning has little effect on spontaneous naming, but makes the choice of the correct name easier in a forced choice task. The results are discussed in terms of categorization and episodic versus semantic coding of odors.

Development of Japanese version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2

This study developed a Japanese version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), a measure for a comprehensive assessment of positive body image, and investigated its reliability and validity. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that, like the original version, the Japanese BAS-2 had a one-factor structure and invariance across gender. Body appreciation scores had good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity. Furthermore, the scale exhibited incremental validity by predicting psychological elements (disordered eating, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life) above and beyond body dissatisfaction. Thus, the BAS-2 is suitable for the assessment of positive body image in the Japanese population.

Male meiosis in structural heterozygotes

ABSTRACT The incident of structural heterozygosity is presently noticed for the first time in 9 diploid species, namely, Artemisia annua (n=9), Datura stramonium (n=12), Dicliptera bupleuroides (n=13), Hemigraphis latebrosa (n=12), Leycesteria formosa (n=9), Salvia plebeia (n=8), Senecio nudicaulis (n=5), Sonchus brachyotus (n=9) and Verbena officinalis (n=6, 7). These are heterozygous for chromosomal alternation involving 4-6 chromosomes in reciprocal translocations. All the species show >80% pollen fertility thus indicated the possibility of multivalent formation with alternate disjunction. Almost all the species are involved in some sort of meiotic abnormalities during meiosis I and II. Key words: Multivalent, reciprocal translocations, structural heterozygosity, pollen fertility.

Human Genotoxicity: Pesticide Applicators and Phosphine

Fumigant applicators who, 6 weeks to 3 months earlier, were exposed to phosphine, a common grain fumigant, or to phosphine and other pesticides had significantly increased stable chromosome rearrangements, primarily translocations in G-banded lymphocytes. Less stable aberrations including chromatid deletions and gaps were significantly increased only during the application season, but not at this later time point. During fumigant application, measured exposure to phosphine exceeds accepted national standards. Because phosphine is also used as a dopant in the microchip industry and is generated in waste treatment, the possibility of more widespread exposure and long-term health sequelae must be considered.

Productivity Growth in Norway 1948–2008

Up to the 1970s labour productivity in Norway was generally high. Relatively low levels of productivity after the war and the import of technology from abroad were probably important factors. From the mid-1970s until the late 1980s, productivity growth was low and variable, partly due to unstable macroeconomic conditions during this period. Productivity growth picked up again in the early 1990s and accelerated further after the turn of the millennium, due to some extent to increased use of information and communication technology (ICT). Productivity growth slowed again from 2005 and turned negative in 2008. Growth in capital intensity fell, and it has taken time for enterprises to adjust employment to the downturn in the Norwegian economy since 2007.

A study of the review of the pattern of happiness in the teachings of the religion of Islam and psychological approaches

Happiness is now considered a key criterion for diagnosing mental health. Happiness is one of the most important psychological needs of human beings, as well as a factor for growth and success, and has always been considered due to its major impact on people's lives. He sought to see how he could live better, what would satisfy him most, and with what mechanisms he could enjoy life in this world (Dickey, 1999).Psychological sciences, as one of the main branches of humanities, can be effective if it can answer the basic questions related to the psychological issues of the people of our country with cultural and indigenous theories and in cultural, spiritual and psychological development. The people of this region are efficient and effective. The psychological problems of the people cannot be studied apart from the cultural issues, the economic and political situation, their religious beliefs. Given that the localization of psychological and behavioral sciences is one of the important principles in the field of science and knowledge, the author of this article wants to review the basics of happiness in the teachings of Islam and psychological approaches.

Open Access Evaluation of Improvement in Quality of Life and Physical Activity After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Greek Elderly Women

Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in quality of life of patients after total knee arthroplasty and to assess the changes in physical activity by using a self-reported questionnaire and by counting the number of steps 3-6 months after post-operatively. Methods: Included were fifty two elderly women (age 72.6±65.9 years, mean±SD) with knee osteoarthritis undergoing primary knee arthroplasty. Health-related quality of life, physical activity, pain and function and the number of steps were assessed before, 3 and 6 months post-operatively. We used the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36), the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and the pedometer SW200 Digiwalker of Yamax. Results: Patients showed a significant improvement (p&amp;lt; 0.01, �2 =0.22) in health–related quality of life, particularly in physical function, (p&amp;lt;0.001) body pain (p&amp;lt; 0.001) and vitality scale (p&amp;lt; 0.001) of SF-36 at 3 and 6 months after the procedure. Physical activity (PASE score) increased at 3 and 6 months after arthroplasty (p&amp;lt; 0.001, �2 =0.74), and the number of steps increased 6 months after, compared to the assessment that took place 3 months after operation (p&amp;lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Our results suggest that total knee arthroplasty leads to a gradual improvement in quality of life of elderly patients over the first 6 post-operative months. Keywords: Knee osteoarthritis, older adults, pedometers, PASE, SF-36, total knee arthroplasty.

Use of thermal imaging and the in situ technique to assess the impact of an inoculant with feruloyl esterase activity on the aerobic stability and digestibility of barley silage1

Addah, W., Baah, J., Okine, E. K. and McAllister, T. A. 2012. Use of thermal imaging and the in situ technique to assess the impact of an inoculant with feruloyl esterase activity on the aerobic stability and digestibility of barley silage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 92: 381-394. Feruloyl esters limit the digestibility of forages, a constraint that may be overcome if additives with feruloyl esterase (FE) activity are applied to forage. This study determined if a FE-producing strain of Lactobacillus buchneri LN4017 in combination with Lactobacillus plantarum LP7109 and Lactobacillus casei LC3200 improves fermentation, aerobic stability and in situ fibre disappearance of whole-crop barley silage. Barley forage (350 g kg-1 DM) was either uninoculated (UN) or inoculated (1.3×105 CFU g-1 fresh forage; IN) and ensiled in Ag-Bag® silos. Bags were opened after 90 d of ensiling. Samples were collected on day 95, 123 and 175 for determination of fermentation characteristics. Surface temperature of the face of each bag was measured over 3 d using a thermal infrared camera. Ruminal in situ DM and NDF disappearance (aNDFD) of silage and rumen fermentation patterns were measured using three ruminally cannulated heifers. The L. buchneri-treated silage possessed a higher acetic acid concentration than UN (48.8 vs.18.4 g kg-1 DM). The temperature at the face of IN was lower than UN immediately upon exposure and after 3 d of aerobic exposure. Inoculation increased (P=0.01) 24-h and 48-h aNDFD with a trend towards a glucogenic pattern of ruminal fermentation in heifer compared with UN silage. There was evidence that the FE-producing inoculant improved aerobic stability and aNDFD of whole-crop barley silage.

“Es Como Que no los Conociera”: Reunification of Unaccompanied Migrant Youth with Their U.S. Families

Abstract Family reunification following migration-related separations is often challenging for immigrant youth as they adjust to their new environment and reacquaint with their caregiver. Scant research has explored the experiences of family reunification specifically for unaccompanied immigrant youth. This study was a secondary analysis to explore the complexities of family reunification through the lens of attachment theory and family systems. Data were collected from 30 youth, six parents, and four school administrators via focus groups and semistructured interviews. Unaccompanied immigrant youth had arrived to the United States in the previous three years from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, or Mexico. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results showed that the youth struggled to reconnect with their parents due to prolonged separations, which contributed to loneliness and feelings of loss. Parent–child attachment disruptions contributed to problems related to relationships among family members, traditional family roles and hierarchies, and new family constellations (e.g., blended families). Results point to the importance of developing interventions to increase trust, empathy, and communication between unaccompanied immigrant youth and their parents.

Intraoperative Blood Conservation Using Cell-Saver

Despite meticulous surgical technique a significant blood loss still occurs in routine cardiac surgery. In the past this was routinely replaced with a "banked" blood transfusion. Concerns about the well known complications of the bank blood transfusion, including those of transmitted disease recognized recently, have led to the development of various perioperative blood conservation techniques. Our initial experience in 225 selected patients using Hemanetics-cell-saver equipment has been reported previously [2]. Since 1987, this method of intraoperative blood conservation has been used routinely in all of the approximately 900 cardiac surgery procedures performed in our service. The present study details our most recent experience with this technique in 100 consecutive and unselected cardiac surgical procedures performed by several surgeons.

Searching Anthropology and Twitter Do "new" fields require new tools?

This thesis looks at opportunities and challenges when thinking anthropology and social media. With a focus on Twitter and anthropological ideas, it attempts to consider a broad spectrum of different aspects surrounding Twitter in an anthropological sense, and anthropology in light of Twitter. It attempts to connect Twitter and newer social media to basic anthropological ideas. While it is no deep dive into one single aspect, the thesis attempts to cover several. This ranges from technical solutions regarding data gathering, to ethical questions regarding bots or trolls. Viewing these new solutions, to perhaps familiar challenges, it tries to answer if new fields do indeed require new tools.

A flexible and secure multicast architecture for ATM networks

We describe our unifying architecture for multipoint-to-multipoint communications in ATM networks which meets the diverse requirement of group communications and permit a large degree of control on the multicast group. With an integrated use of a name space, the scheme allows scalable extension to large scale wide area multicast communications. We also enable flexible control o of the routing architecture and group membership. We consider a security service to be a fundamental element of multicast communication. A framework of a multicast authority and multicast coordination center is used to provide the dynamic group management and membership support, with a integrated security mechanism for flexible group access. The implementation experience of this architecture on the XUNET wide area ATM testbed is also discussed.

Predicting session-by-session outcomes with the Consultation Interaction Coding Scheme in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Severe Health Anxiety

This is the SPSS 24 dataset and the SPSS syntax used for the analysis. The syntax files provides guidance notes for each stage of analysis.<br>In a secondary analysis of trial data, two trained raters blind to outcome used audio-visual recordings and transcripts to rate each interaction in the first and second session of cognitive behaviour therapy amongst 50 high service utilisers with severe health anxiety. The Consultation Interaction Coding Scheme (CICS) was used to rate each interaction on the basis of patient activation – a person’s confidence and perceived ability to manage their own health. Sessions were also assessed using the observer-rated working alliance inventory (WAI-O). Multilevel modelling was used to estimate the predictive validity of CICS and WAI-O scores on wellbeing assessed session-by-session using the Outcome Rating Scale.<br>

Isotopic probe for spectroscopic studies of heme

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are heme containing monooxygenases with great potential in applications focused in biotechnological areas. An understanding of the precise chemical process behind this enzyme is essential in research in the areas of pharmaceuticals and biochemistry. In order to get a better understanding of P450s, it is important to provide spectroscopic characterization of the electron spin distributions within the heme macrocycle. Paramagnetic NMR has been shown to be a powerful tool for probing electronic distribution and spin-densities within the heme macrocycle. Selective incorporation of 13C may facilitate the use of 13C-NMR in the study of P450 monooxygenase. Furthermore, selective labeling with 15N or 2H at specific positions within the heme group maybe also be useful in the application of other spectroscopic techniques when applied to P450 enzymes. All of these labeling studies could be accomplished using a recombinant expression system involving a strain of E.coli which cannot produce aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a biosynthetic heme precursor. By synthesizing 2H, 13C or 15N labeled ALA, incorporation of these isotopes into the heme of dehaloperoxidase, a model heme protein, via the biosynthetic pathway of the heme cofactor maybe accomplished. A successfully method was developed to make 2H-ALA in a way that is both economical and time efficient, and the relative ability of this expression system to incorporate 2H into the heme was evaluated, relative to 13C or 15N.

Management of Expressed Human Milk in a Developing Country--Experiences and Practical Guidelines

A program to provide expressed breast milk for low birth weight and other infants unable to suckle has been successful in India despite earlier fears that the risk of infection would be great. Mothers wash their hands and breasts before expression and about 3/4 liter is collected daily on average. Milk for daytime feeds is used fresh soon after collection and milk is never stored more than 24 hours. Random samples of milk are sent for culture daily 64.2% of the samples were sterile 26.3% grew non-pathogenic organisms and 9.5% potential pathogens. Follow-up and bacteriological evaluation showed incidences of infection to be less in infants receiving expressed breast milk. Practical guidelines for the use of human milk in developing countries lacking conventional milk banks stress collection under supervision washing of the mothers breasts and hands each time with soap and water manual expression expression directly into sterilized containers rapid consumption avoidance of storage and at least periodic random bacteriological analysis if facilities are available to ensure that methods of collection transport and administration continue to be satisfactory. Experiences at this center suggest that the risks of not administering human milk are far greater than the risk of infection from administering it.
