I.C.C. R.I.P. -- HAS TRANSPORTATION REGULATION OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS? .

In the summer of 1995 the House and Senate tried to zero-fund the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) for fiscal year 1995. In a compromise to salvage something, the Congress only cut the budget of the ICC to a third. In the meantime, many employees had been retired or left the agency for other reasons, and the staff size had gotten smaller. In order to accommodate the ICC with a one-third budget, the Congress enacted the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act (TIRRA) which largely did away with what was left of truck regulation by the ICC. This paper discusses the continuing role of the ICC in transportation regulation. Some ideas presented include the establishment of a National Transportation Commission; and folding the ICC and Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) into the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Assessment and Treatment of Kleptomania

Abstract Kleptomania, a disabling impulse control disorder, is characterized by repetitive and uncontrollable theft of items that are of little if any use. Kleptomania often goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed as a mood disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or a substance use disorder. Unlike typical shoplifters, individuals with kleptomania steal for symptomatic relief rather than personal gain. Although the etiology of kleptomania is unknown, various biological and psychosocial theories may explain why some individuals develop kleptomania. Although cognitive behavioral therapy has shown early promise in treating kleptomania in case reports, the only controlled data for treatment involve the use of the opioid antagonist naltrexone.

Quantifying trust in mobile ad-hoc networks

This paper introduces a trust-domain based security architecture for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The aim of this architecture is twofold: to use trust as a basis to establish keys between nodes in a MANET, and to utilize trust as a metric for establishing secure distributed control in infrastructure-less MANETs. We define metrics for nodes to establish and manage trust, and use this mutual trust to make decisions on establishing group and pair-wise keys in the network. The impact of mobility of the nodes on trust establishment is considered and further its use as a means of propagating trust through the network is investigated. We introduce the concept of self-organizing trust-based physical-logical domains (PLDs) as a means of grouping nodes for distributed control in the network.

About the Trimmed and the Poincare-Dulac normal form of diffeomorphisms

We study two particular continuous prenormal forms as defined by Jean Ecalle and Bruno Vallet for local analytic diffeomorphism: the Trimmed form and the Poincare-Dulac normal form. We first give a self-contain introduction to the mould formalism of Jean Ecalle. We provide a dictionary between moulds and the classical Lie algebraic formalism using non-commutative formal power series. We then give full proofs and details for results announced by J. Ecalle and B. Vallet about the Trimmed form of diffeomorphisms. We then discuss a mould approach to the classical Poincare-Dulac normal form of diffeomorphisms. We discuss the universal character of moulds taking place in normalization problems.

Language use in social interactions of school-age children with language impairments: An evidence-based systematic review of treatment.

Introduction: Pragmatic models were first applied to the treatment of children with language impairment in the late 1970s. Since that time, the study of language use has had considerable impact on language assessment and treatment. Despite the need to address pragmatic language skills clinically, there has been no systematic examination of the efficacy of treatments developed for this purpose. Method: In accordance with the evidence-based practice policy agenda, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) convened an ad hoc committee on language use in social interactions in school-age children. The committee’s charge was to develop an evidence-based systematic review of treatment for disorders of language use in social interactions. This charge was conducted in collaboration with ASHA’s National Center for Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders. Results: This systematic review provided preliminary support for the feasibility of various treatment procedures addressing social communication behaviors. Gains were reported in topic management skills, narrative production, and repairs of inadequate or ambiguous comments. Conclusion: Because further investigation of these treatments is warranted, the committee is unable to make empirically supported recommendations for changes in standard clinical practice based solely on this review. More research is needed to examine the feasibility of interventions that focus on children’s language use.

42 Training Forgiveness – A Novel Approach to Reducing Physician Burnout

Abstract Study Objective Psychological risk factors that lead to impaired work performance, negatively impacting mental and physical health, have emerged as a concern across clinical settings. Although depression and anxiety are linked to poor physician mental health, physician burnout characterized by work related stress due to chronic exhaustion from clinical work, cynicism toward meaning of the medical profession, and feelings of inadequacy toward work related accomplishments, may be an even stronger indicator of well-being. Literature suggests that work satisfaction among physicians is rapidly deteriorating owing to high rates of burn out and poor mental health. Although the relationship between work burnout (WB) and negative affectivity has been well documented, the association with positive affect, such as trait forgiveness (TF) has been overlooked. On that note, research shows that lifetime stress severity and lower levels of forgiveness predict worse mental and physical health. Since TF has been linked strongly with healthy workplace relationships, positive occupational outcomes and general well-being, its association with WB remains to be investigated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the link between TF and WB among physicians. We hypothesized that TF would be associated with reduced levels of burnout. Method A total of 62 (F=23) medical residents at a Teaching Hospital consented for the study. Residents were administered surveys on WB (Maslach BurnoutInventory), workplace bullying, personal bullying (PB), interpersonal rejection sensitivity (IRS), perceived stress scale (PSS), TF, anxiety, and depression, all of which were anonymously submitted via electronically. Hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) models were used to determine the associations between WB, work environment social factors and TF. A p-value of &lt;0.05 was considered significant. Results The mean age 33.1±SD 4.2 years. HMR analysis using WB as main outcome contained 6 predictors: Model 1 contained depression and anxiety, Model 2 added PB, Model 3 added IRS and PSS, Model 4 added TF. Anxiety and TF were the only significant predictors (p= &gt;0.05) accounting for 10.4% and 17.5% of the variance in WB scores, respectively. Conclusions The novel finding of the present study is that TF was associated with low levels of burnout. Additionally, WB was found to be linked to anxiety and depression which is in line with previous research. These data suggest that TF could be a potential resolution to the deleterious influence of burnout. Further exploration is needed in order to understand the psychology of forgiveness as a potential adjuvant and/or therapeutic intervention for physicians’ burnout. These results suggest that strategies including forgiveness training aimed at decreasing WB while increasing job satisfaction among physicians warrant further exploration.

Perception of female reproductive state from vocal cues in a mammal species

While acoustic signalling by males is known to affect male-male competition, mate attraction and the timing of ovulation, the extent to which sexual selection has shaped the evolution of female acoustic signals is poorly understood. Among mammals, experimental evidence indicates that females attract mating partners by using olfactory and visual signals to advertise their reproductive state. Whether or not males ascertain female reproductive state from vocal signals has, however, never been systematically tested. In this study, we use playbacks of recorded vocalizations to demonstrate that male Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus, can discriminate between female copulation calls given at different stages of the oestrous cycle, responding more strongly to those given around the time when conception is most likely to occur. Acoustic analysis suggests that the mean dominant frequency of call units and a number of temporal parameters could provide males with the information necessary to discern the proximity of ovulation in this way Our results provide the first experimental evidence that the calls of female mammals may contain information on reproductive state, which males can perceive and use in such a way as to increase their reproductive success.

Histologic Variation Among Poorly Differentiated Invasive Carcinomas of the Human Uterine Cervix2

Patterns of growth and invasion were correlated with ultrastructural evidence of squamous, basal, or glandular differentiation in 17 cervical carcinomas classified as poorly differentiated by histopathologic criteria. Traits of the spinous stage of differentiation (e.g., tonofibrils, glycogen, desmosomes) were retained predominantly by tumors that grew as compact, expanding masses, showed central necrosis, and elicited leukocytic responses, whereas traits of basal or glandular differentiation (e.g., basement membranes, secretory activlty) were retained predominantly by carcinomas characterized by diffuse invasion, extensive associations with connective tissues, and vascularization. Only 1 carcinoma lacked all ultrastructural evidence of differentiation, while spinous and glandular characteristics coexisted in cells of some tumors. Secretory activity, deposition of extracellular materials, and the accumulation of cortical cytofilaments by cancer cells at the interface with connective tissues seemed to be interrelated processes and possibly associated with invasiveness. Fibrillar nuclear inclusions werefound in 13 tumors. The results indicate that traits of differentiation, retained to a fragmentary degree not immediately obvious histologically, may greatly influence the growth pattern of apparently undifferentiated carcinomas and that definite correlations exist between some common histopathologic characteristics of these tumors and specific retained normal cell properties.

Արցախյան հակամարտության ընկալումն ԻԻՀ ներքին խոսույթում՝ քառօրյայից մինչև քառասունչորսօրյա պատերազմ (2016-2020 թթ.)

The examination of the views, analysis, and positions in the internal discourse of the IRI on the Artsakh conflict is important from the point of view of understanding the logic forming this country's approaches to the conflict. The approaches of policy-making institutions and various political parties are reflected in internal discourse through the views of individuals associated with them and through the main media resources. During the military operations in 2016, the elements of a "positive approach" to the Artsakh Republic prevailed in Iran’s internal discourse. These days, the Iranian discourse is also more homogeneous in terms of its approaches to the conflict. In terms of the opinions expressed and the publications made during the war in 2020, the differences in the approaches of the decision-making institutions were quite noticeable. Particularly, the Foreign Ministry was promoting a policy of "active neutrality" and "mediation" when in parallel the military power structures (especially ICRC) were more focused on activities aimed at security targets. The article discusses the above-mentioned peculiarities both in the context of the dynamics of changing the perception of the Artsakh conflict in the internal discourse, as well as in the context of its place in IRI's foreign policy and IRI-Armenia relations.

On epireflective and coreflective hulls of a particular <i>L</i>-topological space

In this paper, we study some aspects of the category L-ZTop of zero-dimensional L-topological spaces. After noting that it is a topological category, we identify a ‘Sierpinski object’ LZ in it. We further show that two epireflective hulls of LZ respectively turn out to be the categories of zero-dimensional T0-L-topological spaces and of zero-dimensional sober L-topological spaces. We also determine the coreflective hull of LZ in the category of L-topological spaces.

Isolation and Identification of Azadirachtin from fruits of Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae)

Azadirachtin is a naturally occurring substance that belongs to an organic molecule class which is called tetranortriterpenoids. It is on of the most powerful plant derived insecticides known, its structure is similar to insect hormones called ecdysoncs (Molting Hormone), which control the process of metamorphosis. Azadirachtin has been isolated from fruits of Melia azedarach L. The structure of this compound was determined by spectral studies (IR spectra and GC Mass spectra) and denitrified by then layer chromotochraphy (TLC).

Life Cycle, Ultrastructure, and Host Specificity of the North American Isolate of Pasteuria that Parasitizes the Soybean Cyst Nematode, Heterodera glycines.

Light and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the life cycle and ultrastructure of an undescribed isolate of Pasteuria that parasitizes the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines. Studies also were conducted to determine the host specificity of Pasteuria. The endospores that attached to the cuticle of second-stage juveniles (J2) of H. glycines in soil did not germinate until the encumbered nematodes invaded soybean roots. Thereafter, the bacterium developed and completed its life cycle only in females. The stages of endosporogenesis were typical of Pasteuria spp. The mature endospore, like that of P. nishizawae, the only other Pasteuria known to infect H. glycines, produces an epicortical layer that completely surrounds the cortex, an outer spore coat that tapers progressively from the top to the base of the central body, and a double basal adhesion layer. However, subtle differences exist between the Pasteuria from North America and P. nishizawae with regard to size of the central body, nature and function of the mesosomes observed in the earlier stages of endosporogenesis, and appearance of the fibers lining the basal adhesion layer and the exosporium of the mature endospore. Endospores of the North American Pasteuria attached to J2 of H. schachtii, H. trifolii, and H. lespedezae but not to Meloidogyne arenaria race 1, Tylenchorhynchus nudus, and Labronema sp. Results from this study indicate that the North American Pasteuria is more similar to P. nishizawae than to any other known member of the genus. Additional evidence from comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequences is needed to clarify whether these two Pasteuria belong to the same species.

The Alawis in the Ottoman Period

Abstract The history of the Alawis in the Ottoman period is usually presented as one of discrimination, impoverishment and constant persecution. This contribution, rather than relying on the narrative chronicles or oral accounts of the period, concentrates on the wealth of Ottoman administrative documents referring to the Alawis to be found in the Basbakanlik and the Tripoli Shari’a Court archives. In doing so it seeks to show that the Alawis enjoyed quasi-recognition as a sectarian community, that they made extensive use of the Ottoman court system, and that they were characterized by a high degree of social stratification including a landed gentry co-opted by the Ottoman state.

Does a Judicial Warning Improve Defendant‐Culprit Matching?

Summary During a trial, jurors may be asked to compare the defendant with video of the culprit. Yet matching unfamiliar people in this manner can be difficult and error‐prone. Judges may warn jurors about the dangers of identification from video images, but the effect of warnings is unknown. Here we report two studies that assessed the effect of warning instructions on defendant‐culprit matching. In Experiment 1, college students read either control, warning, or illustrated warning instructions before deciding if a defendant seen in one video matched the culprit in another video. Experiment 2 compared control and warning instructions in a sample of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. Matching accuracy in both experiments was poor, and warnings did not consistently improve performance or make participants more cautious. These results do not support the supposition that warning instructions help jurors compare the defendant to images of the culprit.Copyright © 2016 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
