This article provides a discourse analysis of a large corpus of televised psychic readings. The goal of this study is to uncover the relationship between the linguistic structure of psychic readings and the psychics’ linguistic agenda. The findings of this study suggest that the psychics’ engage in linguistic tactics that allow them to negotiate and extract specific information from their subjects. The discourse structure of psychic readings facilitates deception, since the subjects, rather than the psychics, are the actual source of subject-specific information in a reading.

Full textAbstract:
Although the inter-subject information has been demonstrated to be effective for a rapid calibration of the P300-based brain–computer interface (BCI), it has never been comprehensively tested to find if the incorporation of heterogeneous data could enhance the accuracy. This study aims to improve the subject-specific P300 classifier by adding other subject’s data. A classifier calibration strategy, weighted ensemble learning generic information (WELGI), was developed, in which elementary classifiers were constructed by using both the intra- and inter-subject information and then integrated into a strong classifier with a weight assessment. 55 subjects were recruited to spell 20 characters offline using the conventional P300-based BCI, i.e. the P300-speller. Four different metrics, the P300 accuracy and precision, the round accuracy, and the character accuracy, were performed for a comprehensive investigation. The results revealed that the classifier constructed on the training dataset in combination with adding other subject’s data was significantly superior to that without the inter-subject information. Therefore, the WELGI is an effective classifier calibration strategy which uses the inter-subject information to improve the accuracy of subject-specific P300 classifiers, and could also be applied to other BCI paradigms.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional training methods need to collect a large amount of data for every subject to train a subject-specific classifier, which causes subjects fatigue and training burden. This study proposes a novel training method, TrAdaBoost based on cross-validation and an adaptive threshold (CV-T-TAB), to reduce the amount of data required for training by selecting and combining multiple subjects’ classifiers that perform well on a new subject to train a classifier. This method adopts cross-validation to extend the amount of the new subject’s training data and sets an adaptive threshold to select the optimal combination of the classifiers. Twenty-five subjects participated in the N200- and P300-based brain–computer interface. The study compares CV-T-TAB to five traditional training methods by testing them on the training of a support vector machine. The accuracy, information transfer rate, area under the curve, recall and precision are used to evaluate the performances under nine conditions with different amounts of data. CV-T-TAB outperforms the other methods and retains a high accuracy even when the amount of data is reduced to one-third of the original amount. The results imply that CV-T-TAB is effective in improving the performance of a subject-specific classifier with a small amount of data by adopting multiple subjects’ classifiers, which reduces the training cost.

To evaluate qualitative differences in the nature of thought disorder, the ‘cloze’ procedure and the Scale for the Assessment of Thought, Language and Communication were used to compare speech samples from schizophrenic, depressive, manic, schizo-affective and normal subjects at two different times. At the acute phase, thought-disordered subjects (schizophrenics, manics and schizo-affectives) were less communicable than non-thought-disordered subjects (depressives and normals). Communicability increased with remission of the more flagrant features of disturbance. Comparison of the thought-disordered diagnostic groups in the rate and pattern of remission of specific features of thought disorder indicated that factors reflecting goal-disrupted cognition distinguished the groups.

ABSTRACT The initial microbial colonization of tooth surfaces is a repeatable and selective process, with certain bacterial species predominating in the nascent biofilm. Characterization of the initial microflora is the first step in understanding interactions among community members that shape ensuing biofilm development. Using molecular methods and a retrievable enamel chip model, we characterized the microbial diversity of early dental biofilms in three subjects. A total of 531 16S rRNA gene sequences were analyzed, and 97 distinct phylotypes were identified. Microbial community composition was shown to be statistically different among subjects. In all subjects, however, 4-h and 8-h communities were dominated by Streptococcus spp. belonging to the Streptococcus oralis/Streptococcus mitis group. Other frequently observed genera (comprising at least 5% of clone sequences in at least one of the six clone libraries) were Actinomyces, Gemella, Granulicatella, Neisseria, Prevotella, Rothia, and Veillonella. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed that the proportion of Streptococcus sp. sequences in the clone libraries coincided with the proportion of streptococcus probe-positive organisms on the chip. FISH also revealed that, in the undisturbed plaque, not only Streptococcus spp. but also the rarer Prevotella spp. were usually seen in small multigeneric clusters of cells. This study shows that the initial dental plaque community of each subject is unique in terms of diversity and composition. Repetitive and distinctive community composition within subjects suggests that the spatiotemporal interactions and ecological shifts that accompany biofilm maturation also occur in a subject-dependent manner.

Collerton et al. propose that one and the same mechanism (PAD) underlies recurrent complex visual hallucinations (RCVH) in various disorders, including schizophrenia, dementia, and eye disease. The present commentary offers an alternative account of RCVH and other recurrent complex hallucinations specific to schizophrenia and related disorders only. The proposed account is consistent with the bias of schizophrenic RCVH contents toward animate, socially active entities.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundA large number of studies, reviews and meta-analyses have reported cognitive deficits in ecstasy users. However most ecstasy users are polydrug users, and therefore it cannot be excluded that these deficits are (partly) the result of drugs other than ecstasy. The current study, part of the Netherlands XTC Toxicity (NeXT) study, investigates the specific sustained effects of ecstasy relative to amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis on the brain using neuropsychological examination.MethodA stratified sample of 67 subjects with such a variation in type and amount of drug use was included that correlations between the consumption of the various drugs were relatively low allowing stepwise linear multiple regression analyses to differentiate between the effects of ecstasy and those of other substances. Subjects were assessed with neuropsychological tests measuring attention, working memory, verbal and visuospatial memory, and visuospatial ability.ResultsEcstasy use [mean 327 (s.d.=364) tablets in lifetime] had a specific significant dose-related negative effect on verbal delayed recall after adjusting for the use of other drugs.ConclusionsThese findings strongly suggest a specific sustained negative effect of ecstasy use on verbal memory. The clinical relevance is not immediately clear, because test performance generally remained within the normal range. However the magnitude of the effect is substantial (d>0.5) and long-term consequences cannot be excluded.

Full textAbstract:
A fractionation technique was employed to determine the locus of reaction time delay in Down syndrome (DS) and other adult subjects with mental retardation (MH). Twenty-three subjects (8 nondisabled, 8 MH, and 7 DS) responded to a light, sound, and combination light/sound signal. Dependent measures of premotor time, motor time, total reaction time, and movement time were obtained during a 20° elbow extension movement and were analyzed separately. As expected, both MH and DS subjects were slower and more variable in their responses than the subjects without disabilities. In turn, DS subjects were significantly slower but not more variable than the MH subjects. There were no significant differences between the DS and MH subjects on movement times. Evidence for both a specific (premotor) and a generalized (both premotor and motor) locus of delay was found. Some difference in signal effect was also found for the DS subjects.

PURPOSE To address the challenging ethical dilemmas created from the participation of advanced cancer patients in phase I trials, we assessed the feasibility of a clinical trial design that uses an interactive informed consent process in which patient-subjects can choose to become directly involved in decisions of dose escalation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Subjects were advanced cancer patients in the Hematology/Oncology Clinics at the University of Chicago who were eligible to participate in a phase I trial in which they underwent a three-step informed consent process that used cohort-specific consent and allowed them the option to choose their own doses of the chemotherapeutic agents under study, vinorelbine (NVB) and paclitaxel (TAX), within predetermined limits. NVB and TAX were administered in conventional 21- to 28-day cycles for two cycles while on study. Dose escalation occurred when a patient-subject chose a higher untested dose after they received information on all previously assessable patient-subjects. In addition to the phase I trial itself, a survey that consisted of structured interviews, which sought to evaluate patients' experiences with the interactive subject-choice phase I trial design and consent process, was conducted with participating subjects. The phase I trial itself sought to determine the associated toxicities of the agents under study. The survey results were compared with a similar survey of a matched control population of subjects who participated in other concurrently active conventional phase I trials at our institution. RESULTS Twenty-nine patient-subjects participated in the phase I trial, with 24 who agreed to and completed the survey interviews. Seventy-six percent of patient-subjects opted to choose their dose of the agents under study, and 28% chose the highest available doses. More than half of the patient-subjects (56%) felt some degree of comfort in being asked to choose their dose of chemotherapy, with 53% stating that being asked to choose their dose made them feel in control, fully informed, or content. However, there were no statistically significant improvements in objective measures of the informed consent process, which included surveyed subjects' stated understanding of either provided information about phase I trials and alternatives to trial participation or of the research purpose of phase I trials. By making choices, the group of patients in the interactive subject choice trial changed the size of the dose cohorts and modified the process of dose escalation in this phase I study. CONCLUSION Although complex, our innovative phase I trial design is feasible. In addition to the use of cohort-specific consent, the trial design may reduce the magnitude of many of the commonly recognized ethical dilemmas associated with this form of clinical research, which include difficulties with information provision and the understanding of possible risks and benefits of phase I trial participation, through direct subject involvement in research decision making by otherwise potentially vulnerable cancer patients.

Abstract Adoptive immunotherapy with allogeneic EBV specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been used as a treatment strategy for EBV induced lymphoproliferative disease in stem cell transplant and organ transplant recipients, and is currently being investigated for patients with EBV positive Hodgkin’s disease. Currently available molecular methods for detecting chimerism, such as single tandem repeat (STR) analysis, have a sensitivity range that does not permit the detection of allogeneic effector cells when doses of 106 to 107 cells/kg are infused. We have demonstrated that the infusion of EBV CTL from allogeneic donors can be associated with clinical responses in patients with therapy refractory Hodgkin’s disease, however donor cells could not be detected by STR analysis. We employed HLA-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis (Q-PCR) to test for donor microchimerism in two groups of subjects with relapsed, therapy refractory, EBV positive Hodgkin’s disease. Non-shared, donor-specific HLA sequences (HLA B, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DQA1, and DQB1) were targeted to detect the DNA equivalent of 1 donor cell in a background of 500,000 host cells. The first cohort consisted of three subjects, each receiving three allogeneic EBV CTL infusions consisting of 5 x 106 cells/kg/dose, with no chemotherapy prior to the infusions. A second cohort received a single infusion of 1.5 x 107 EBV CTL/kg, which was preceded by fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day for three days (in order to attempt to achieve donor CTL chimerism). Informative HLA-specific Q-PCR assays were available for one subject not receiving chemotherapy and for the three subjects receiving fludarabine prior to a single CTL infusion. Results are expressed as genome equivalent number of donor cells per million host cells (gEq/mil). The subject who did not receive fludarabine had no detectable donor DNA prior to the CTL infusion and had 105 gEq/mil 2 days following the first infusion, 230 gEq/mil one day following the second infusion, and only 12 gEq/mil one day after the third infusion. This data suggests that the subject had been sensitized following the first CTL infusion and possibly rejected subsequent infusions. All three subjects who received fludarabine prior to a single EBV CTL infusion had increases in donor DNA post-infusion. One of these subjects had 13,061 gEq/mil one day post-infusion, which decreased to slowly to 124 gEq/mil by 21 days post-infusion, and was at 193 gEq at 3.5 months post-infusion. The other two CTL recipients who received immunosuppressive chemotherapy prior to CTL had increases in donor DNA post-infusion but not of the same maximum amplitude (5026 and 740 gEq/mil at one week post-infusion for each of these subjects). Since subsequent CTL infusions were not given to the second cohort, it is unclear whether the decrease in donor cells over time in this group represented cell rejection or the natural kinetics of allogeneic CTL infused in this setting. These studies demonstrate that quantification of donor cell microchimerism is feasible using Q-PCR for mismatched HLA alleles for subjects receiving allogeneic CTL.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores alternative ways of staging music in preschool. The ‘preschool subject of music’ is approached as a social and cultural construct that is embedded in discursive negotiations. Participants in the study are 1-3 year-old children and their music pedagogues, working in the preschool on a daily basis. In three studies, the negotiation of a local music ‘didactic identity’ is examined by answering research questions related to three different discursive levels: (i) the micro-level of face-to-face interaction; (ii) the level of pedagogue’s conceptions; and (iii) the political/societal level. Study I examines the participants’ use of semiotic resources in their co-construction of musicking events. By means of micro-analyses of video-recordings it is shown that mobility in the room is essential for the children’s access to instruments and other artefacts, and for their possibility to influence music activities. Other crucial conditions concern the pedagogues’ responsive uptake and improvisatory approach, and that the activities are open to other forms of expression. Study II explores conceptions of the ‘child’ and conceptions of ‘music’ in four music pedagogues’ talk in a group interview. Different conceptions of the ‘child’ are seen to interrelate with certain ontological and functional conceptions of ‘music’ that involve diverse opportunities for children’s (bodily) agency. This analysis is made by means of discursive psychology. Study III examines the music practices from a political and philosophical perspective, using Hannah Arendt’s concept of the ‘public sphere’. This third perspective shows how this preschool’s music practices create a public sphere by seriously putting into practice equality and plurality as values and principles that increase the equality between children and adults. Age power structures are thereby challenged, and the children can be seen as citizens in the ‘here and now’, and not in some distant future when they are grown-ups. Also, the ‘preschool subject of music’ itself becomes a negotiated issue. Implications for preschool practice and preschool teacher education are discussed, and further research is suggested within other educational areas regarding how pedagogues’ interpretations of the concept of ‘children’s participation’ and ‘influence’ impact on specific preschool subjects, such as music.At the time of the doctoral defense, the following paper was unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 2: In press.

Researchers argue that students need to understand the language and the key concepts of each discipline to understand the academic content. The purpose of this study is to develop, analyze and evaluate a development project in civics. Therefore, the study answer following questions: How do subject-specific concepts take place during the lessons according to the students? In what way can concept definition maps encourage students to talk about subject -specific concepts? How do students experience the work with concept definition maps? Two qualitative methods are used to answer the questions, both interviews and classroom observations. The interviews focus on how the students describe their experience with subject-specific concepts during civics lessons but also how they experience the work with concept definition maps which was implemented during the intervention. The observations onthe other hand show in what way the concept definition maps encourage students to talk about subject-specific concepts. The theoretical framework of the study is based on the sociocultural perspective and other theories that stress the importance of encouraging students to generate their own meaning of terms but also how the language develops in interaction with others.The result shows that the students often rely on the definition they get from their teacher orthe textbook but there is no room for students to explore the concepts themselves. All the students felt that the concept definition maps had good impact on their understanding of the subject-specific concepts. The results also showed that the there was a positive interdependence during the intervention where the students learned from each other’s prior knowledge and paths of thinking.

The purpose of this essay was to show the pupils as presenters from their own and their teachers’ perspective. This was done regarding presentations by studying and comparing the applicability of the two structuralist theories media ecology theory and structural semiotic theory. The theories were used as model bases, aimed to correspond to opinions and experiences of Swedish upper secondary school pupils. Through a didactic approach, I intended to find out how pupils’ relations to presentations differ depending on how they regard them. Focus was on if they thought of presentations as comprehensive experiences or found similar elements in mediated and unmediated presentation contexts. An empirical field study was accomplished through qualitative interviews with pupils and teachers. The word “presentation” was treated as a discourse since data showed that respondents included diverse meanings and functions in the word. The analysis was based on the qualitatively collected empirical data that were applied on my models. Constructionism functioned as theoretical framework. My study indicated that the discourse presentation needs to be investigated further.

AbstractWhen complying with appropriate safeguards, the processing of personal data for scientific research under the GDPR benefits from a special regime which is of interest for biobank research. On the one hand, under this condition, the further processing of personal data will not be incompatible with the initial purposes for which the data were originally collected and processed and it allows for retaining data for longer periods of time for scientific research. Complying with this condition is a condition to lift the prohibition to process special categories of personal data in the context of scientific research. On the other hand, complying with this condition makes it possible to derogate to some extent to several data subjects’ rights such as the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to the restriction of processing and the right to object to the processing.Possible safeguards range from specific procedures to support the exercise of data subjects’ rights to the use of anonymous data or (where necessary) of pseudonymised data, the appointment of a data protection officer, enforcing a procedure to ensure a feedback to data subjects on the results of the research, requiring specific professional accreditations, creating a specific supervisory body for the biobank research, or the creation of a specific Code of conduct for biobank research activities.This double regime under the GDPR is finally compared with the 2009 OECD Guidelines in biobanks and genetic research databases.

AbstractThis chapter focuses on liberalism and neoliberalism as both constituents and consequences of the emergence of the psy disciplines through specific processes of modernity in the West. It explores the unified Cartesian subject on which psychology initially depended. It addresses American and South African versions of liberalism and their relationship to race. It also addresses the notion of universal humanity and its relation to the idea of complicity, and begins to apply the idea to intersubjective psychology. The chapter also summarizes the place of Freud’s Oedipus complex in this matrix of ideas and history, and the idea of the Western subject that has emerged accordingly, through and for psychology.

AbstractSince 1978 and the initial French data protection law (Loi n°78-17 du 6 Janvier 1978), consecutive modifications regarding the protection of personal health data, especially in 2004, 2016 and 2018, set up a strict legal regime for processing sensitive personal data, including for research purposes. In recent years, French law has evolved proactively and in parallel with the work of the European Union (EU) on the preparation of what became the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has been in force since May 2018. This Chapter performs a state-of-art analysis (as of 1 July 2019) of the French legal framework for research biobanks and data protection rules applying to biobanking, in particular those related to data subjects’ rights and Article 89 of the GDPR. Firstly, it provides updated information about the national landscape of active research biobanks in France (Sect. 1). Secondly, it explores how the French law embodies the developments brought by the GDPR and how it envisages individuals’ rights in the context of research biobanking (Sects. 2 and 3). Thirdly, this Chapter analyses existing and potential national exemptions to individuals’ rights, including with regard to Article 89 GDPR, and how France conceives of processing activities of ‘public interest’ (Sect. 4). Finally, the authors address ongoing debates around bioethics law in France and argue for the creation of a specific Act focused on biobanking as a means of integrating, clarifying and developing not only data protection rules but also other activities related to samples, human or not, in a unique, operational and compact act (Sect. 5).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMathematics education (didactics of mathematics) cannot grow without close relationships to mathematics, psychology, pedagogy and other areas. However, there is the risk that by adopting standards, methods and research contexts from other well-established disciplines, the applied nature of mathematics education may be undermined. In order to preserve the specific status and the relative autonomy of mathematics education, the suggestion to conceive of mathematics education as a “design science” is made. In a paper presented to the twenty second Annual Meeting of German mathematics educators in 1988 Heinrich Bauersfeld presented some views on the perspectives and prospects of mathematics education. It was his intention to stimulate a critical reflection’among the members of the community’ on what they do and what they could and should do in the future (Bauersfeld 1988). The early seventies have witnessed a vivid programmatic discussion on the role and nature of mathematics education in the German speaking part of Europe (cf., the papers by Bigalke, Griesel, Wittmann, Freudenthal, Otte, Dress and Tietz in the special issue 74/3 of the Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik as well as Krygowska 1972). Since then the status of mathematics education has not been considered on a larger scale despite the contributions by Bigalke (1985) and Winter (1986). So the time is overdue for redefining the basic orientation for research; therefore, Bauersfeld’s talk could hardly have been more appropriate. In recent years the interest in a better understanding of the nature and role of mathematics education has also grown considerably at the international level as indicated, for example, by the ICMI-study on ‘What is research in mathematics education and what are its results?’ launched in 1992 (cf., Balacheff et al. 1992). The following considerations are intended both as a critical analysis of the present situation and an attempt to capture the specificity of mathematics education. Like Bauersfeld, the author presents them ‘in full subjectivity and in a concise way’ as a kind of ‘thinking aloud about our profession’. (The present paper concentrates on the didactics of mathematics although the line of argument pertains equally to the didactics of other subjects and also to education in general (cf., Clifford and Guthrie 1988, a detailed study on the identity crisis of the Schools of Education at the leading American universities).)

The aim of our work was to review the main classification schemes proposed in the literature, which can be summarized in four main groups: (a) traditional schemes oriented to evaluate the operability of AVMs have been joined by (b) specific classifications that evaluate the outcome and the predictability of obliteration of other treatment modalities and (c) others that evaluate the outcome of intracerebral hemorrhages in ruptured AVMs. Eventually, (d) topographical classifications that categorize the subtypes of AVMs located in specific anatomical regions have been drawn. For each classification, we discuss the implications on surgical management.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIt is not possible to write a book on Safety at Accelerators, or on occupational safety in general, without a practical understanding of the technical language of the field. Like in other scientific or technical fields, words are used with a specific meaning, often deviating from their everyday use. These terms must be clarified before penetrating deeper into the subject. Central to occupational safety are the terms of hazard, risk, and control. A more detailed description of these concepts is found in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-57031-6_5.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe regulatory framework for biobanking in Estonia is fragmented. Whilst a specific law applies to the population-wide biobank, other entities engaged in biobanking are subject to rules stemming from various legal sources. In the case of the population biobank, participants give open consent for their data and tissue to be used in genetic research. Most other entities do not have the possibility to obtain open research consent for the use of personal data. However, national data protection law enables the use of personal data in research without the consent of individuals.In contrast, since no stricter requirements are set, open consent can be used when tissue is obtained directly from individuals for research purposes. However, if tissue is initially obtained for other (research) purposes, further research use requires written consent in the case of blood, while due notification will suffice for most other types of tissue.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter first sets out the book's purpose, which is to analyze the process through which blackness became legitimated as a category of political contestation in the eyes of the state and other powerful political actors in Latin America, specifically Colombia and Brazil. The author does this by examining archives and conducting ethnographic fieldwork over nearly eight years in the style of what scholars across disciplines have called “political ethnography.” The discussions then turn to a comparison of race relations in Latin America and the United States in the twentieth century; the adoption of specific policies for black populations in Latin America; ethno-racial policy in Latin America; and why Colombia and Brazil are obvious choices for an analysis of black rights in Latin America. An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows how black activists in both Colombia and Brazil lodged a robust set of demands with their respective states during the period of political instability and reform. On the one hand, urban-based movements in both countries made claims to inclusion and equality and fought for inclusionary affirmative action-type policies. On the other hand, rural black movements came to articulate their demands in the discourse of difference and autonomy in ways that mirrored the emergent requirements of global multicultural citizenship; at the same time, their discourse reflected the similarities between their material realities and those of indigenous communities. Indeed, both groups were concerned with territory and the imminent threat of dispossession posed by a number of actors, including domestic and foreign capital. Yet in both countries, the process of constitutional reform systematically narrowed these demands, such that black rights took on a much more specific character of cultural protection and geographic concentration.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter proposes that legitimacy (on at least one understanding of the protean term) is centrally a right to err: a right to make mistakes that set back interests of others that are ordinarily protected by rights. Legitimacy so understood is importantly distinct from authority, the normative power to impose binding (or enforceable) rules at will. Specifically, legitimate institutions have a distinctive liberty right to set back others’ interests that other agents normally lack. Their subjects in turn lack certain permissions to avoid, or redirect, the costs of the institutions’ mistakes in ways that would otherwise be permissible. Legitimate institutions have this liberty right because, and insofar as, they act for their subjects (in a specific sense) and do so only for the subjects’ sake. As a matter of fairness, (some of) the costs of the institutions’ actions are borne by the subjects for whom they are undertaken. In turn, where an institution fails to act for its subjects in the relevant way, it (and its officials) may have to bear the costs of its errors, which the subject is morally permitted to redirect by acts of resistance.

Full textAbstract:
Low-trauma hip fracture, usually caused by fall from standing height, has become a main source of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. However, the hip fracture risk is subject-dependent as it is related to the subject’s anthropometric parameters, the kinematic/kinetic variables in fall, and the hip anatomy. A compound fracture risk indicator is proposed in this study to define the correlation between the hip fracture risk and subject’s parameters such as anthropometric parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), height of body mass center (HMC), and hip soft tissue thickness (STT). In this study, a two-level, subject-specific biomechanical model composed of a whole-body dynamics model and a proximal femur finite element model was used to predict the hip fracture risk for 80 subjects. The required information was obtained from the subject’s whole body and hip DXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) images. Then, multivariate nonlinear least-square fits of power functions were used to investigate the effect of parameters on hip fracture risk. Results indicated that although BMD is the dominant parameter affecting the hip fracture risk, other parameters such as hip soft tissue thickness and anthropometric parameters also have considerable effects. This finding suggests that the hip fracture risk cannot be accurately predicted by the currently available single factor predictors as they do not consider all multifactorial parameters. However, the proposed function can properly predict the risk of hip fracture in the absence of any computational simulation and biomechanical model. It also quantifies the effect of musculoskeletal-, and organ-level parameters on hip fracture risk and demonstrates which individual is more likely to experience hip fracture.

Full textAbstract:
Economic indicators in economic policies have an important place in determining the levels of development. Determining and classifying the existing social and economic structures of countries is very important for examining the development states and possible development tendencies of countries and forming regional development policies in line with these. The aim in cluster analysis, is to classify datas in to similarity and perform useful knowledge for the researcher. Cluster analysis, which became more popular among the subjects of statistical classification in recent years, can give more reliable results when there is apriori knowledge about number of clusters. Fuzzy models interested in fuzzy model structures and try to estimate system behaviours that has no knowledge about their structure. Fuzzy Cluster Analysis is try to decompose the groups which membership degrees cannot be determined. When the number of datas and variables increased or cluster structures came to closer for all, Cluster analysis has given more successful results then the other cluster analysis methods. In this study, Turkish Republics were classified in terms of the indicators determined by using Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Gath Geva methods which are frequently used in fuzzy clustering analysis. The objective was to find out the common class structures of Turkish Republics which came out with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and which experienced economic similar problems and thus to help countries in the same clusters in similar economic planning. Results are also compared between fuzzy and crisp clustering analysis methods.

Full textAbstract:
Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LT) is the most common chronic painful condition affecting the elbow in general population. Research has shown that an eccentric exercise program can be effective modality for treating tendinopathies. The purpose of this review was to deter-mine the effects of eccentric contractions (EC) in comparison to other types of contractions and other therapeutic approaches. Searches were performed using the electronic databases Medline, Scopus and Web of Science. The basic selection criterion was a research meth-odology in which at least one group of subjects used eccentric contractions in comparison to other methods of contractions or therapy. In conclusion, eccentric contractions are useful method of treating LT in 12 weak period. However, it cannot be stated with certainty whether EC exercises are more or less effective than other forms of therapeutic exercises or specific physiotherapeutic techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The current study aims at finding out how retrieval of discourse takes place during the process of comprehension. It is hypothesized that the process of retrieval is relative among language users in its capacity and ways. Most important , it is also hypothesized that this process is patterned in nature and such pattering is also relative from one language user into another. In other words, language users look for different patterns when comprehending discourse. The above aim and hypotheses have been verified through an experiment conducted on 100 secondary school students. The subjects are asked to read an Arabic story and a mathematic text. Then , those participants are asked to answer a questioner conducted for the study to see how they could retrieve the materials given. McDermott and Roediger model (2021) of analysis has been proposed as the model of comprehension adopted in this study. It is concluded that subjects look for specific patterns in the discourse in order to memorize and retrieve the data chosen. These patterns could be : rhematic, schematic, relevance, enjoyment, distinctiveness, familiarity, and linguistic. It is, also, found out that there are different factors which affect the process of retrieval including : interest, background knowledge, subjects capacity, emotions and frequency of repetition.

Full textAbstract:
While production and markets have been becoming more integrated since barriers to the international trade reduced, capital movements and the speed of spreading of technology increased with the progress of globalization, issues regarding to agriculture, environment, women, employment, and education became more critical.
In this research, “by which functions and missions can agricultural cooperatives sustain their assets under globalized conditions” is the major research question. In the research, 19 cooperatives were chosen among 308 cooperatives, depending on their distance to Kastamonu, foundation year, and the amount of member. Subjects were determined by their traits and occupations. 164 subjects were interviewed via survey questions in 2014-2015. In research, “The situation-specific approach” model, developed by Hartmut Albrecht was applied.
Because of the progress of change in organizational values, agriculture cooperatives have to undertake new functions in addition to maintaining agricultural production. The functions can be classified into 4 categories as socio-economic (taking local goods to international markets, recording incomes in the agriculture sector, and creating new employment positions to reduce migration to urban), international relations (developing new projects toward internationalizing to collaborate with other cooperatives), planning (making long-term strategic plans), and education (training women in rural areas, and obtaining their collaboration in cooperative campaigns, and educating future's cooperative managers).

The sole proprietorship enterprise, in its legal form of Autonomous Worker, is one of the most frequent and important today. Both for its tax obligations, as for the specific functional and management characteristics, as well as for its relevance in the services sector, it is interesting for the students to know and to assess their details and peculiarities In the planning guide of very few subjects the special characteristics of this business model are detailed, so we think it is interesting to dedicate a practical session to know how different the management of an Autonomous Worker is from that of the rest of corporate legal forms. We sincerely believe that this practical session could improve the learning of the transversal competence “Knowledge of Contemporary Problems” by the students. We also believe that this will be a very interesting experience that will familiarize students with a business reality that they will undoubtedly find in the near future. We propose that the most appropriate format for this teaching activity is that of Active Learning, since it implies a greater active participation of students, with the expectation therefore of better learning outcomes. In this specific case, we propose that an Autonomous Worker, with some academic training in management and administration, attends to the practical session with the students of the subject, and a practical workshop is held in which simulate different aspects of working life and Business of an Autonomous Worker. The result of this activity proposal, and its greatest novelty with respect to other teaching courses, is the proposal of 7 concrete and specific blocks to work with students in "group dynamics" format, as well as the presence of an experienced external speaker with academic training enough, so that students effectively reach the development of the skill that this competence proposes. With that, students are expected to get actively involved and to learn what the professional life of this type of business model is.

Full textAbstract:
The co-occurrence of schizophrenia and alcohol use disorders often leads to poor treatment retention and adherence. There are very few reports of efficient approaches to treat alcohol abuse in patients with schizophrenia. The purpose of this work was to review the benefits of motivational interview (MI) for alcohol disorders in patients with schizophrenia, and if it can be use in default or if there are some adaptations for this specific population. The authors did a non-systematic review of the literature with the words “motivational interview”, “schizophrenia”, “alcohol”. A case report from 2017 shows a 42 years old man in which was valued the patient's narrative and opinions with support and understanding, that lead to a increase in motivation of abstinence. Reflective listening and summarizing were very important to help with the consciousness of the disease. A study from 2007 with 60 patients shows that they tolerate the shorter sessions (20–30 min) better than longer sessions, because of the difficult time focusing for an extended period of time. More sessions are advantageous because it takes some time for patients to learn how to respond. Other study from 2003 with 30 patients shows that subjects randomized to the MI intervention had a significant reduction in drinking days and an increase in abstinence rates when compared to subjects receiving educational treatment. A blind randomised controlled trial from 2010 with 327 patients shows that integrated motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy for people with psychosis and substance misuse does reduce the amount of substance used for at least one year after completion of therapy. In conclusion there are evidence of the use of motivational interview in patients with schizophrenia. And the improve is bigger if there is an adaptation to this specific population. More studies are still needed in this aera.

В статье рассматривается вопрос различия социальноэкономического развития субъектов между собой по различным статистическим показателям. Для этого был рассчитан специальный коэффициент, с помощью которого проанализировано развитие субъектов по отношению друг к другу и динамика этого коэффициента. Для его полнейшего анализа был взят период с 2005 по 2017 г. с рассмотрением трехлетних периодов и каждого года в отдельности. Были посчитаны значения коэффициента по всем регионам с выделением регионов с наибольшими и наименьшими значениями. Показаны субъекты с наиболее положительной или отрицательной динамикой данного коэффициента. В ходе анализа коэффициента были выявлены взаимосвязи развития регионов между собой в период социальноэкономических кризисов и восстановительного периода после них. Было определено, что развитие регионов зависело от их специализации, экономикогеографического и транспортногеографического положения, агломерационного эффекта, а также качества управления. На примере субъектов Дальневосточного региона был произведен региональный анализ данного коэффициента. Особенным отличием Дальнего Востока от других регионов являлось то, что это территория нового освоения с активным развитием добывающих производств. Были даны объяснения динамики коэффициента на примере субъектов этого региона с их определенной особенностью. Была выделена взаимосвязь между коэффициентом сравнения социальноэкономических показателей с размером ВРП на душу населения и их сходная динамика. Также было установлено, что высокие показатели коэффициента прежде всего зависят от наличия добывающей промышленности в субъектах и от ее высокой доли в структуре ВРП. Другие факторы для этого коэффициента оказались менее значимы. К ним можно отнести обрабатывающие производства, транспорт, наличие больших и крупных городов для субъектов Дальнего Востока. Также была выявлена взаимосвязь динамики коэффициента по годам среди субъектов и вызвавшие их социальноэкономические явления. Как было установлено, динамика коэффициента сравнения социальноэкономических показателей имело общую характеристику для большинства субъектов Дальневосточного региона.The article considers the issue of differences in the socioeconomic development of the subjects among themselves according to various statistical indicators. For this, a special coefficient was calculated, with the help of which the development of regions in relation to each other and the dynamics of this coefficient are analyzed. For its fullest analysis, took the period from 2005 to 2017 with a consideration of threeyear periods and each year separately. The coefficient values were calculated for all regions with the allotment of regions with the largest and smallest values. The subjects with the most positive or negative dynamics of this coefficient are shown. During the analysis of the coefficient, the interconnections of the development of regions among themselves during the period of socioeconomic crises and the recovery period after them were revealed. It was determined that the development of regions depended on their specialization, economicgeographical and transportgeographical position, agglomeration effect, as well as the quality of management. On the example of the subjects of the Far Eastern region, a regional analysis of this coefficient was carried out. A special difference between the Far East and other regions was that this territory of new mastering with the active development of extractive industries. Explanations of the dynamics of the coefficient were given by the example of the subjects of this region with their specific feature. The relationship between the coefficient of comparison of socioeconomic indicators with the size of GRP per capita and their similar dynamics was highlighted. It was also found that high coefficient ratios primarily depend on the availability of extractive industries in the subjects and, first of all, on its high share in the structure of GRP. Other factors for this coefficient were less significant. These include manufacturing industry, transport, the presence of large and large cities for the subjects of the Far East. The relationship between the dynamics of the coefficient over the years among the regions and the socioeconomic phenomena that caused them was also revealed. As it was established, the dynamics of the coefficient of comparison of socioeconomic indicators bore a common characteristic for most subjects of the Far Eastern region.

Full textAbstract:
We have previously reported the purification of a 37-KDa platelet agglutinating protein (PAP p37) from the plasma of a patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. using 125I-labeled p37, the properties of its binding to platelets were studied. The binding of p37 to washed human platelets from 4 normal subjects and two TTP patients after recovery was specific, concentration dependent and saturable. The Scatchard analysis revealed that the binding sites for p37 was about 100,000 per platelet with a dissociation constant of 48 × 10−9 M. The binding of p37 to erythrocytes was very little and non-specific. Stimulation of platelets by thrombin or ADP did not have any effect on the binding of p37 to platelets. The monoclonal antibodies to platelet GP lb (6D1) and GP Ilb-llla (10E5)(A gift of Dr. Barry coller) did not inhibit the binding of p37 to platelets. Fibrinogen (1 mg/ml) and FVIII/vWF (250 ug/ml) reduced the binding slightly. The polyclonal antibodies to p37 as well as concanavalin-A inhibited the binding of p37 to platelets through their direct interaction with p37. Other lectins such as phytohemagglutinin, potato lectin and helix pomatia lectin did not have any effect. At 40 mM, sialic acid, α-D-(+)-glucose, D-(+)-mannose and D-fructose caused 91%,44%,79%, and 63% inhibition of p37 binding respectively. D-(+)-galactose did not interfere with the binding. It is concluded that p37 binds to platelets on the sites other than GP lb and Gp IIb-IIIa and its binding to platelets is inhibited by certain sugars.

The application of natural and nature‑based features (NNBF) has grown steadily over the past 20 years, supported by calls for innovation in flood risk management (FRM) and nature‑based solutions from many different perspectives and organizations. Technical advancements in support of NNBF are increasingly the subject of peer‑reviewed and other technical literature. A variety of guidance has been published by numerous organizations to inform program‑level action and technical practice for specific types of nature‑based solutions. This effort to develop international guidelines on the use of NNBF was motivated by the need for a comprehensive guide that draws directly on the growing body of knowledge and experience from around the world to inform the process of conceptualizing, planning, designing, engineering, constructing, and operating NNBF.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the study is the cooperation of S. Efremov with Western Ukrainian periodicals as a page in the history of Ukrainian journalism which covers the relationship of journalists and scientists of Eastern and Western Ukraine at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methods (biographical, historical, comparative, axiological, statistical, discursive) develop the comprehensive disclosure of the article. As a result of scientific research, the origins of Ukrainocentrism in the personality of S. Efremov were clarified; his person as a public figure, journalist, publisher, literary critic is multifaceted; taking into account the specifics of the memoir genre and with the involvement of the historical context, the turning points in the destiny of the author of memoirs are interpreted, revealing cooperation with Western Ukrainian magazines and newspapers. The publications ‘Zoria’, ‘Narod’, ‘Pravda’, ‘Bukovyna’, ‘Dzvinok’, are secretly got into sub-Russian Ukraine, became for S. Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication. The author’s comments reveal a long-running controversy over the publication of a review of the new edition of Kobzar and thematically related discussions around his other literary criticism, in which the talent of the demanding critic was forged. S. Efremov steadfastly defended the main principles of literary criticism: objectivity and freedom of author’s thought. The names of the allies of the Ukrainian idea L. Skochkovskyi, O. Lototskyi, O. Konyskyi, P. Zhytskyi, M. Hrushevskyi in S. Efremov’s memoirs unfold in multifaceted portrait descriptions and function as historical and cultural facts that document the pages of the author’s biography, record his activities in space and time. The results of the study give grounds to characterize S. Efremov as the first professional Ukrainian-speaking journalist.
