Full textAbstract:
The film addresses the problem of why it is challenging for Chinese
college students to study, socialize and succeed in American universities
and how language barriers, differences in family communication,
educational systems and socialization between the United States and
China contributes to the challenges that Chinese students are facing in the
The United States. Some of the problems that Chinese students encounter are
getting worse, leading to serious mental health problems or even
Chinese students committing suicide.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to construct portrayals of teachers7 work conceptions in various career stages from the stories they told and the metaphors they used to describe the ways in which teachers learned about their work. Specifically, the study included preservice teachers, first-year teachers, third-year teachers, and teachers with more than four years of teaching experience at the elementary and secondary school levels.
Thirty-five elementary and secondary school teachers from the North-Central area of Texas participated in this study (nineteen inservice and sixteen preservice teachers). Qualitative techniques were employed to collect data. The preservice teachers filled out a questionnaire and wrote short stories about their preconceptions of their first year of teaching. Inservice teachers were interviewed using a short questionnaire and a long interview schedule. Nine inservice teachers participated in a storytelling workshop/focus group session. Group stories based on
predetermined scenarios were constructed, tape-recorded and transcribed. The focus group session was videotaped and transcribed.
Fifteen categories emerged from the analysis of the data: cyclical, ritualized, hierarchical, reciprocal, developmental, experiential, reflective, cumulative, body of knowledge, folkloric, individualized/personalized, order/control/manage, disciplinarian, facilitative, and replicative. These categories represent a summary of the constructs, images, contextual maps and metaphors held by these teachers to describe their enculturation process.
The descriptive categories developed in this study offer teacher educators, supervisors and teachers a basis for understanding the culture of teachers. The storytelling technigues used in this study provide a means by which teachers and teacher-related personnel can generate further information about the enculturation process that can be applied to recruitment, orientation/ induction programming, reflective teacher preparation and change strategies.

Na atualidade do Brasil, os debates que versam sobre Direitos Humanos e aparato policial ganham maior força e evidência nas conversas informais, nas redes sociais, na mídia em geral e, também, nos bancos acadêmicos. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação, que se insere na linha de pesquisa que estuda violência, criminalidade e cidadania, visou saber quais são as práticas e as percepções sobre Direitos Humanos nas escolas de formação de praças no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Então, o objeto de estudo são os cursos da Brigada Militar, compostos por soldados e sargentos que estavam em curso de formação nas cidades de Porto Alegre, Santa Maria, Montenegro e Esteio. A metodologia de pesquisa lançou mão de entrevistas abertas e grupos focais, na busca de dados qualitativos, e dessa forma visou uma amostra equitativa em cada escola. Assim, em cada uma delas foi entrevistado um grupo de alunos, e desse grupo alguns alunos foram convidados a participar do grupo focal. Foram aplicadas 83 entrevistas abertas, além de 23 participantes ouvidos com o mesmo roteiro nos grupos focais, totalizando 106 alunos. Além da pesquisa de campo, também foram realizados estudos a partir de referenciais teóricos que ajudaram a compreender o processo de formação a partir de uma ótica sociológica. Também foi possível conhecer a história da corporação com relação ao ensino em sua trajetória a partir da formação iniciada em 1982 e chegando aos dias atuais. Conceituar Direitos Humanos também foi um objetivo alcançado na dissertação, especialmente as três gerações que tratam de direitos individuais, direitos sociais e direitos transindividuais. Com base na pesquisa empírica, e tendo em mente as conceituações acima elencadas, foi possível verificar que considerável parcela dos alunos tem seus Direitos Humanos violados, figurando uma das respostas à pergunta de partida desta dissertação em sua última parte, sabendo como são as práticas e as percepções sobre Direitos Humanos nas escolas de formação de soldados e sargentos da Brigada Militar.Currently in Brazil public debate on police work and Human Rights gain wider repercussion. This dissertation aims at making a contribution to the understanding of the practices and perceptions over Human Rights according to the views manifested by new police recruits to the Brigada Militar, the military police of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, while attending to mandatory formal training prior to their appointment on active duty from 11/09/12 to 19/04/13. A total of 106 students, comprehending private soldiers and sergeants, engaged in the research. This number encompasses part of the students who attended to training courses in the cities of Porto Alegre, Santa Maria, Montenegro and Esteio. As a methodology to gather qualitative data for the purpose of the analysis, there have been employed an openended written questionnaire and focal groups. In total, 83 questionnaires and 23 focal groups have been conducted. The theoretical frame work entangles the sociological perspective over the material collected in the research field. From this study, it is possible to make known aspects of the institutional history with specific regard to the teaching within the police corporation in Rio Grande do Sul, from 1982 up to the present days. An effort has been made in conceptualizing Human Rights underits three generations: individual rights, social rights and transindividual rights. Based on the empirical research and bearing in mind the concepts listed above, there has been possible to address questions over the practices and perceptions about Human Rights as manifested by those police recruits of the Brigada Militar.

Previous issue date: 2015-05-11This study aims to understand the process of identity formation and transformation with monozygotic twins. We intend to analyze how the identity of two twin brothers develops along their life course, considering that both shared the same historical and social context, constituted by structural conditioning factors represented by the family, school, community and society institutions. The identity proposal as a metamorphosis in search of emancipation developed by Prof. Dr. Antonio da Costa Ciampa (1987), was our guiding line for the accomplishment of this research. We chose the life history narrative method to deepen the understanding of the dynamics of the two twin brothers identity formation; in this research they are named Ricardo and Rogério, they are now 50 years old, and are born, raised and living in the city of São Paulo-SP . The study of the identity formation processes involved the primary socialization, focused on the childhood phase and the beginning of school life, as well as the secondary socialization, focused on the period of career choices, beginning of professional life and current life and career moment

Success and School failure have been quite common themes in academic papers researching on students graduating high school from public or private schools. However, few investigate the student look that still attends this level of education, and what these people expect of themselves for the near future with the way the determinants received from family and social relationships influence the young in your possible choice. Thus, this paper aims to identify the expectations of young students on their own destiny and the relationships involving their choices upon completion of high school. The study is an empirical research aimed to characterize individuals in socio-economic terms, in addition to showing existing profiles in the classroom and seek to know the social relations kept by the subjects in and out of school. Primarily aimed to understand the expectations of young high school students from public schools in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. Therefore we wish to observe how the environment and social groups such as family, school, among others, have a direct or indirect influence on the individual to choose the educational path and / or professional to be followed after completion at this level of education. The Pierre Bourdieu s concepts of cultural, social and economic capitals will be the work tab in the quest to understand how social origin and social relations are determining factors in the choice of the future of the individual. We also employ the concepts of primary and secondary socialization of Berger and Luckmann. The first form of socialization is responsible for the insertion of the individual in social media, and the second, by the process that introduces the individual already socialized into new sectors of society
Sucesso e fracasso escolar têm sido temas bastante comuns em trabalhos acadêmicos que pesquisam sobre estudantes egressos do ensino médio de escolas públicas ou privadas. Entretanto, poucos relacionam o olhar do estudante que ainda cursa esta etapa de ensino, e o que esses indivíduos esperam de si mesmos para um futuro próximo com a forma pela qual os determinantes recebidos dos familiares e das relações sociais influenciam o jovem na sua possível escolha. Sendo assim, este trabalho pretende identificar as expectativas de jovens estudantes sobre seu próprio destino e as relações que envolvem suas escolhas na conclusão do ensino médio. O estudo consiste numa pesquisa empírica que visa caracterizar os indivíduos em termos socioeconômicos, além de traçar os perfis existentes na sala de aula e procurar conhecer as relações sociais mantidas pelos sujeitos dentro e fora da escola. Prioritariamente buscamos identificar as expectativas de jovens estudantes do ensino médio de escolas públicas estaduais da cidade de Campina Grande, Paraíba. Pretendemos assim, constatar de que forma o meio e os grupos sociais, tais como a família, a escola, dentre outros, exercem influência direta ou indireta sobre o indivíduo na escolha do caminho educacional e/ou profissional que pretende seguir após a conclusão deste nível de ensino. Os conceitos de capital cultural, social e econômico de Pierre Bourdieu serão o guia do trabalho na busca de compreender como a origem social e as relações sociais são fatores determinantes na escolha do futuro do indivíduo. Também empregamos os conceitos de socialização primária e secundária de Berger e Luckmann. A primeira forma de socialização é responsável pela inserção do indivíduo nos meios sociais e, a segunda, pelo processo que introduz o indivíduo já socializado em novos setores da sociedade

Todoroki, Christine Louisa. "Primary and secondary log breakdown simulation." Thesis, University of Auckland, 1997. http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/fullcit/9913695.
Full textAbstract:
Log breakdown by sawing can be viewed as a multi-phase process that converts logs into boards by a series of cutting operations. In the primary phase, logs are sawn into s labs of wood known as flitches or cants. These are further processed by secondary operations, that resaw, edge (cut lengthwise) and trim (cut widthwise) the raw material, resulting in the manufacture of the board product whose value is influenced by its composite dimensions and quality (as indicated by a grade). Board grade is in turn determined by the number, type, size, and location of defects. Owing to its biological origins, each log, and subsequent board, is unique. Furthermore, as each sawmill, and processing centre within the mill, has a unique configuration, the problem of determining how each log entering a mill should be sawn is very complex. Effective computer simulation of log breakdown processes must therefore entail detailed descriptions of both geometry and quality of individual logs. Appropriate strategies at each breakdown phase are also required. In this thesis models for emulating log breakdown are developed in conjunction with an existing sawing simulation system which requires, as input, detailed three-dimensional descriptions of both internal and external log characteristics. Models based on heuristic and enumerative procedures, and those based upon the principles of dynamic programming (DP) are formulated, encoded, and compared. Log breakdown phases are considered both independently and in a combined integrated approach-working backwards from the board product through to the primary log breakdown phase. This approach permits methodology developed for the later processes to be embedded within the primary phase thus permitting the determination of a global rather than local solution to the log breakdown problem whose objective is to seek the highest possible solution quality within the minimum possible time. Simulation results indicate that solution quality and processing speeds are influenced by both solution methodology and degree of data complexity. When the structure of either factor is simplified, solutions are generated more rapidly-but with an accompanying reduction in solution quality. A promising compromise that combines DP techniques with mathematical functions based on a subset of the original data is presented.Subscription resource available via Digital Dissertations only.

Full textAbstract:
Components found within many industries contain crack like defects. The work detailed here considers such a component under the combined influence of primary and secondary stresses; where primary stresses contribute to plastic collapse and secondary stresses are redistributed under plastic deformation. A number of approaches are available to detail the combined loading on the crack tip parameter J, or KJ, which is used to assess proximity to failure from crack extension. However, these approaches are recognised to be conservative and can lead to the unnecessary replacement of components, stricter surveillance and inspection regulations, and further costs associated with downtime.The aim of the work presented is to investigate these conservatisms and develop a further approach to quantify the interaction of primary and secondary stresses on fracture. A large matrix of cracked body finite element analyses of a circumferentially cracked cylinder has been performed under a range of loadings. This is then used to detail the interaction of primary and secondary stresses on fracture by providing a function to describe a scaling term, g, that multiplies the secondary crack driving force contribution. This term has been shown to be relatively independent on the magnitude of secondary stresses and is also dependent on the material stress strain relation. This relation for g has also been shown to be compatible with the R6 defect assessment procedures V factor approach, through the Vg plasticity interaction term, that provides a scaling term to the secondary contribution in R6. A review of experiments considering combined loading has indicated that the number of tests that cover a range of primary stress induced plasticity levels is limited. Further experiments were therefore considered within this research to provide added experimental fracture toughness data by which to compare the R6 V factor and Vg approaches. These experiments introduced a compressive pre-load to the ends of three-point bend specimens so that a tensile residual stress resulted on unloading. A crack was introduced and the specimens tested at one of three temperatures so that changes in the materials fracture toughness with temperature ensured different levels of plasticity at failure; so that crack growth occurred over three sets of load normalised to the load for plastic collapse. Tests were also conducted that did not include the residual stress so that the effect of residual stress could be shown under different levels of plastic redistribution. The Vg Approach and the existing Complex R6 V Approach have then been applied to all available experimental data for validation. The results show that both approaches conservatively predict the failure of all tests and that the Vg Approach can reduce the level of conservatism.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the biosynthesis of albizziine has been elucidated, and a direct precursor relationship shown to exist between uracil and albizziine. This was confirmed by the demonstration that [2-14C]uracil specifically labels C-5 of albizziine. It is concluded that the biosynthetic sequence involves the hydroxylation of uracil to isobarbituric acid, then amination to 5-aminouracil, followed by hydrogenation and ring-opening, to yield albizziine. 2,3-Diaminopropanoic acid was shown to be formed from albizziine by the action of β-ureidopropionase. Thus, the formation of albizziine and 2,3-diaminopropanoic acid represents a further aspect of the interfacing of pyrimidine primary and secondary metabolism through uracil. Lathyrine was shown to be catabolyzed in Lathyrus tingitanus to yield the non-protein amino acid 4-hydroxyhomoarginine, and it was thus confirmed that 4-hydroxyhomoarginine is a catabolite rather than a precursor of lathyrine. 2-Amino-4-carboxypyrimidine, the immediate precursor of the lathyrine ring-system, was shown to be synthesized enzymically from uracil. The relative amount of exogenously supplied uracil diverted into production of the isomeric pyrimidinyl amino acids willardiine and isowillardiine in Pisum sativum, and also that diverted into the production of the pyrimidine amino acid lathyrine in Lathyrus tingitanus was determined. Uracil was shown to have a pronounced inhibitory effect on the germination and growth of Phaseolus aureus and Glycine max. As these plants do not produce pyrimidine-derived secondary products, this observation is consistent with the view that production of such compounds is a detoxification mechanism for bioactive pyrimidines.

Full textAbstract:
Control of the crystallisation process is essential in the consistent and reliable production of many particulate materials in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Crystal Nucleation defines the crystal size distribution of the obtained crystal population affecting downstream operations. The literature agrees on crystal nucleation division as primary and secondary nucleation depending on the conditions of the used supersaturated solution. Primary nucleation occurs in a clear supersaturated solution, while secondary nucleation is induced by at least one parent crystal present in the solution. Despite the large amount of research conducted on this field, several challenges for primary and secondary nucleation fundamental understanding are still identifiable. The aim of this thesis is to develop meticulous and accurate methods to measure primary and secondary nucleation in order to systematically study nucleation mechanisms relevant to industrial scales. This thesis is constituted of two main parts: one part studies primary nucleation and develops a method for control and measure primary nucleation rate within the metastable zone width (Chapter 2) using different volumes and hydrodynamics (Chapter 3). The second part concerns studies of secondary nucleation under well-controlled conditions providing a systematic method to measure secondary nucleation rates (Chapter 4), which can be integrated in industrial workflows (Chapter 5) and applied to study the chiral outcomes (Chapter 6). The developed methods decouple primary and secondary nucleation events improving crystallisation processes understanding. The reliability and reproducibility of the novel proposed methods offer an appropriate process control strategy to address existing challenges on crystal nucleation.

Full textAbstract:
The afflictions suffered by immunocompromised individuals have historically been attributed to overt infections caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens. For this reason, treatment methods have focused on resolving these infections, with great success in terms of reducing short-term morbidity and mortality rates. This initial success only served to reinforce the dogmatic opinion that to ‘cure’ immunodeficiency, one needs only to resolve and prevent recurrence of bacterial and fungal infections. However, reports of long-term health problems in immunocompromised cohorts suggest that treatment of bacterial and fungal infections alone does not resolve all aspects of the disease, and that viruses may play a greater role than previously expected. This thesis investigates whether viral infections do indeed have a significant impact in the immunocompromised patient. The overall prevalence of blood-borne viral infections in immunocompromised cohorts was determined through the combined use of unbiased, metagenomic sequencing and qPCR. The viral species detected were compared with patient records in order to determine whether there were any correlations between viral presence and patient outcome following treatment. Furthermore, by investigating a cross-section of cohorts with both inherited and acquired immunodeficiences, commonalities and differences could be found in terms of the types of viruses that infect these cohorts and their abundance in patients with different types of immunodeficiency. The findings of this work suggest that a large number of clinically undiagnosed viruses infect immunocompromised patients, however the prevalence of these viruses varies according to the form of immunodeficiency and, to a lesser extent, according to differences between individuals in the same cohort. Importantly, some of the more common viruses detected appear to be correlated with poor patient outcomes such as graft rejection and future infectious complications. Overall, these results suggest that viral infections do indeed play a larger role in the health of immunocompromised patients than has previously been thought although whether this is due to a direct cause or as a consequence is yet to be determined.

Esta dissertação trata dos processos de socialização primária e secundária das adolescentes autoras de ato infracional que cumprem medida sócio-educativa de internação na Fase – Fundação de Atendimento Sócio-Educativo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em Porto Alegre. O objetivo deste trabalho é, através da socialização primária, elaborar o perfil dessas jovens e, a partir da socialização secundária, compreender as condições em que elas vivem na instituição e como vivenciam a medida sócio-educativa de internação. Para tal, a análise desses processos considera quatro dimensões principais: a individual, a familiar, a coletiva e a educacional/profissional. A problematização deste trabalho se insere na perspectiva da sociologia da conflitualidade, que centra a sua análise nos mecanismos de controle social exercidos pelo Estado. De modo a articular distintas áreas do conhecimento, lança-se mão também das contribuições teóricas da sociologia jurídica e da criminologia através da perspectiva do labeling approach, que mostra como esse controle social acaba “selecionando” alguns indivíduos em detrimento de outros. Desta forma, busca-se elaborar o perfil das adolescentes, com intuito de verificar quem são as jovens “selecionadas” pelos mecanismos de controle social e como são construídos seus processos de socialização primária. Em relação à internação, procura-se compreender como as jovens vivenciam a privação de liberdade, como constroem as relações no cotidiano institucional, quais estratégias elas lançam mão nesse universo. O estudo possibilitou verificar que o controle social não atua somente na “seleção” das condutas para ingresso no sistema, mas ele persiste durante a internação das jovens, através de práticas que configuram um tipo de atendimento específico destinado somente às meninas, que procura “adequá-las” a determinados padrões socialmente aceitos. O trabalho também problematiza o ECA, pois, ainda que represente uma conquista em relação aos direitos das crianças e adolescentes, muitas das suas garantias são utilizadas como recurso para aumentar o controle sobre as internas.This paper deals with the primary and secondary socialization process of female juvenile transgressors who are sentenced to a social-educational measure of detention at Fase (Fondation of Social and Educative Service of do Rio Grande do Sul, in Porto Alegre. The goal of this study is, through primary socialization, to establish the profile of those girls and, trough secondary socialization, to understand the conditions which they live in that institution as well as how they experiment the social-educational measure of detention. For this, the analyze of those processes considers four main dimensions: the individual, familiar, collective and educational/professional ones. The problematization of this research is in the sociology of conflictuosity perspective that focus on the analyze of social control mechanisms used by State. In order to articulate different fields of knowledge, it is also used theorical contributions from Law sociology and criminology through labeling approach point of view which demonstrates how that social control ends up “selecting” some individuals to the detriment of others. Through this, the profile of those girls is elaborate in order to check who are the girls selected by social control mechanisms and how they primary socialization processes are built. In relation to detention, the aim is to understand how those girls live without their liberty, how they build relationships inside the institutional routine, what strategies they use in that universe. The study has allowed to verify that social control does not only act in the “selection” of behaviors that can make part of this system, but it remains during the detention of the girls through practices that characterize a kind of specific care designated only to the girls and that try to “fit them” to new socially accepted patterns. The study also reflects about ECA (Statute of the Child and the Adolescent), once, even if it still represents a success in relation to child and adolescent rights, many of the guarantees are used as a tool to increase control over the interns.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to describe the similarities and the differences between Boyle's position and Locke's on the primary and secondary quality distinction.It is in the Corpuscular Hypothesis that Boyle draws the distinction between primary and secondary qualities. Locke not only accepts the Corpuscular Hypothesis but also presents some arguments to support it.
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 respectively examine the differences in the positions of Boyle and Locke on primary and secondary qualities, in their lists of primary qualities, the terminologies they employ, and the scopes of their discussions. Little attention has previously been paid to these differences.
Chapter 3 discusses the essence of the primary/secondary quality distinction. My point is that the distinction between primary and secondary qualities is really a distinction between two kinds of powers for both Boyle and Locke.

Full textAbstract:
A feature ofthe education system in the United Kingdom is the transfer of children, at approximately age of 11, from a smaller primary school to a larger secondary school. Evidence suggests this transition is an important time in a child's life and whilst many children make a smooth transition, some find this change very difficult. This thesis reviews the literature regarding parental influence on the transition from primary school to secondary school. Research has identified tha,t parental involvement in a child's education can have a considerable effect on a child's academic and psychological adjustment. However, during transition, when children typically have to manage a number of competing demands, parental involvement generally declines substantially. To contextualise and facilitate an understanding ofthe factors which effect parental involvement during transition, th~ review aisp considered the influence oftransition on adolescent adjustment and parental influence on adolescent adjustment. The experimental paper explored the long term effects oftransition on adolescent adjustment by investigating how pre transition levels of cognitive ability, levels of psychopathology and emotional intelligence have an effect on transition. Pre transition (year 6) pupils comple.ted measures ofcognitive ability, emotional intelligence and psychopathology. Post transition (year 7 and year 8) pupils completed measures ofemotional intelligence, psychopathology and answered questions abouttransition. The results demonstrated low self concept and/or high anxiety scores were significant predictors ofa negative report oftransition. Furthermore, a higher score on one measure ofemotional intelligence proved a significant predictor ofa positivereport oftransition.

Studies were conducted in Nottingham, UK to assess quality of discharge summary communication sent from secondary to primary care using updated processing methods. Objectives (1) Assess available evidence on effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve discharge information communication specifically introducing computerised discharge summaries (2) Assess differences in discharge summary quality using new processing methods (3) Obtain perspectives of secondary care on discharge communication issues, identifying points of weakness and primary care views on discharge information communicated from hospital. Methods (1) Systematic review of literature on effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve discharge summary information communication (2) Before and after studies of two different discharge summary types in three departments within Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (3) Qualitative interviews with key stakeholders (N=27) and observations in 3 sites. Results The systematic review returned 21 interventions with emphasis on the introduction of computerised systems to improve quality (timeliness and completeness of discharge summaries). Nine studies significantly improved the completeness of the discharge summary. Ten studies significantly increased the timeliness of the generation of the document and the transfer of information. The three before and after studies produced varying results; the HCOP findings suggested improvements post-intervention in completeness of summaries; this was not statistically significant. In Nephrology, computerisation significantly speeded up the timeliness of discharge summaries but there was no significant difference in completeness between the two types. In Paediatrics, computerisation increased the number of summaries not completed, and the handwritten summary was significantly faster. Computerised discharge summaries contained more information- this was statistically significant. The qualitative study identified issues with understanding the concept of discharge, the purpose and importance of the discharge summary, and organisational issues around the ability to balance the demands for completeness and timeliness, a lack of leadership and user-centred design of the electronic discharge system. Conclusions The literature reviewed found examples of the potential computerisation has on discharge documentation quality. The research studies conducted showed that the introduction of computerisation into the discharge documentation process produced mixed results in quality (completeness and timeliness) of discharge summaries communicated from secondary to primary care. Slight improvements were found in the before and after studies and staff feedback was positive. The success of such interventions depends largely on increased clinical leadership and user-centred design. An established link to patient safety is needed to increase awareness of the importance of discharge summary communication and justify major system change.

Full textAbstract:
With fossil fuels diminishing and fuel prices rising the development of more efficient aeroplanes is needed from an economical and environmental point of view. One possibility to increase the aerodynamic efficiency is to reduce the skin friction. This reduction can be achieved by having large areas of laminar flow. To be able to design laminar flow wings a thorough understanding of the transition from laminar to turbulent flow on a swept wing is needed. The current experimental investigation focuses on the influence of environmental disturbances on the development of the crossflow instability. In order to study this influence, in the low turbulence wind tunnel at City University of London, an experimental model had to be designed. It was chosen to have a 45 degrees swept flat plate with a displacement body placed above it which created a favourable pressure gradient on the plate. With the sweep angle and favourable pressure gradient the conditions to have a transition process dominated by the crossflow instability were met. To characterize the flow detailed single hot-wire scans were carried out with a custom made data acquisition system in LabVIEW. Prior to the experiments on the crossflow instability, measurements to characterize the freestream environment and to obtain the pressure distribution on the flat plate were carried out. The turbulence intensity was found to be around 0.02% for freestream velocities from 10 to 18m/s. The pressure distribution was obtained with two methods, with static pressure ports embedded in the plate and with a custom made pressure belt which spanwise location could easily be varied. Both methods gave comparable results and showed that a moderate favourable pressure gradient was created on the plate compared to other studies. The pressure belt results and panel code results were compared to a three-dimensional RANS computation of the set-up. A similar pressure gradient was found for all three pressure distributions. The magnitude of the pressure coefficient obtained from the panel code was slightly higher due to the inviscid character of this code. The main experiments focused on two stages of the transition process, the development of the primary and secondary crossflow instability. The goal of the primary crossflow instability experiments was to investigate the influence of the wavelength content of different roughness distributions while previous studies focused more on the roughness height. A cylindrical and pyramidal roughness elements were studied for this purpose. The roughness elements were spaced at a spanwise distance of λ, which was the wavelength of the most amplified stationary crossflow wave following linear stability analysis. From the calculation of the Fourier coefficients it followed that the pyramidal roughness distribution had stronger forcing at λ and weaker forcing at λ/n compared to the cylindrical roughness distribution. The experiments on the secondary instability first investigated the characteristics of this instability during different stages of its development. While in previous studies the characteristics in the early growth stage were studied here the characteristics of the secondary instability during breakdown are reported. Next, the experiments focused on excitation of the secondary instability by wall-forcing and freestream forcing. The secondary instability was forced from the wall with a small speaker. The results with different amplitudes of the excitation signal showed that the secondary instability is receptive for wall-forcing. The secondary instability was forced from the freestream through a small pipe which was connected to a speaker placed in the displacement body. The first experiments showed that the freestream forcing did not interact with the secondary instability in the boundary layer. Analogously to the travelling primary instability a thin roughness strip was placed on the swept flat plate at the location where the secondary instability started to grow. With the roughness in place an interaction between the freestream disturbances and secondary instability did occur and the phase structure of the secondary instability could be obtained.

Full textAbstract:
Our conceptual understanding of hemostasis is still heavily influenced by outdated experimental models wherein the hemostatic activity of platelets and coagulation factors are understood and studied in isolation. Although perhaps convenient for researchers and clinicians, this reductionist view is negated by an ever increasing body of evidence pointing towards an intimate relationship between the two phases of hemostasis, marked by strong interdependence. In this thesis, I have focused on factual and proposed interfaces between primary and secondary hemostasis, and on how these interfaces can be studied. In my first project, we zoomed in on the mechanisms behind the well-known phenomenon of thrombin-induced platelet activation, an important event linking secondary to primary hemostasis. In our study, we examined how thrombin makes use of certain domains for high-affinity binding to substrates, called exosite I and II, to activate platelets via PAR4. We show that thrombin-induced platelet activation via PAR4 is critically dependent on exosite II, and that blockage of exosite II with different substances virtually eliminates PAR4 activation. Apart from providing new insights into the mechanisms by which thrombin activates PAR4, these results expand our knowledge of the antithrombotic actions of various endogenous proteins such as members of the serpin superfamily, which inhibit interactions with exosite II. Additionally, we show that inhibition of exosite II could be a feasible pharmacological strategy for achieving selective blockade of PAR4. In my second project, we examined the controversial issue of whether platelets can initiate the coagulation cascade by means of contact activation, a hypothesis which, if true, could provide a direct link between primary and secondary hemostasis. In contrast to previous results, our findings falsify this hypothesis, and show that some of the erroneous conclusions drawn from earlier studies can be explained by inappropriate experimental models unsuitable for the study of plateletcoagulation interfaces. My third project comprised an assessment of the methodological difficulties encountered when trying to measure the ability of platelets to initiate secondary hemostasis by the release of microparticles expressing tissue factor. Our study shows that the functional assays available for this purpose are highly susceptible to error caused by artificial contact activation. These results could help to improve the methodology of future research and thus pave the way for new insights into the roles of tissue factor-bearing microparticles in the pathophysiology of various thrombotic disorders. From a personal perspective, my PhD project has been a fascinating scientific odyssey into the largely unexplored interfaces between primary and secondary hemostasis. Looking forward, my ambition is to continue our work exploring platelet-coagulation interactions and to translate these insights into clinically meaningful information, which may someday improve the treatment of patients with bleeding and/or thrombosis.

Preliminary evidence indicates that although there have been attempts to ensure continuity across the primary-secondary transition (Tobell, 2003), discontinuities remain and that there is a „hiatus in progression‟ (Galton et al., 2000). For pupils the transition to secondary school is a time of change leaving their small familiar primary school and entering a large unfamiliar secondary school. This thesis presents pupils‟ expectations and experiences of the primary-secondary transition, across the curriculum and specifically with regards to Physical Education (PE). The primary-secondary transition with regards to PE is marked by significant changes in resource provision, and a mode of delivery from (mainly) non-specialist teachers to subject specialists (Capel and Piotrowski, 2000). As an exploratory case study, an ethnographic approach was adopted with „pupil-voice‟ a distinctive and central feature. Two phases of fieldwork were conducted. The first phase examined Year 6 (aged 10-11) pupils‟ expectations of the primary-secondary transition at Urban Primary and tracked these pupils into City Comprehensive to explore their experiences (June-October 2011). The second phase of fieldwork examined the particularities of the transition concerned with PE. Once more, expectations of Year 6 pupils at Urban Primary were explored and tracked into City Comprehensive (June-October, 2012). Thematic inductive analysis was conducted and there were four super-ordinate findings which relate to: pupils‟ perceptions of the process of transition across the curriculum and with regards to PE; the notion of „being good enough‟; social implications of transition; concept of „growing up‟; teachers and teaching. Findings suggest that these factors contribute to a discontinuous experience for pupils during transition. Future research directions point towards a focus on academia across transition and a consideration of the development in physical competence within primary school settings. Throughout this thesis reflexivity and reflection were used to provide an insight into the research journey as part of the doctoral apprenticeship.

Dickman, Connie. "Being an Assistant Principal, Becoming an Administrator: an Organizational Socialization Study." PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1168.
Full textAbstract:
Many school administrators begin their careers in educational administration as assistant principals. The literature on assistant principals contributes very little to an understanding of the perspectives that assistant principals develop during their organizational socialization experiences and of the conditions and processes that influence the development of these socialization outcomes. The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical understanding of the perspectives that emerge from assistant principals' organizational socialization experiences. Symbolic interactionism established the theoretical and methodological foundation for this study. The sensitizing concepts of perspective (Becker, Geer, Hughes, & Strauss, 1961), situational adjustment (Becker, 1964), and organizational boundary passages (Schein, 1971; Van Maanen & Schein, 1979) provided the analytic framework. The Glaser and Strauss (1967) constant comparison model guided the process of collecting and analyzing data. Six assistant principals with experience from three months to three years were interviewed. The study resulted in a grounded theory that describes the perspectives that the assistant principals developed and explains the processes and conditions that influenced the development of these organizational socialization outcomes. The results of this study suggest that assistant principals develop a common set of perspectives in response to a common set of problematic situations. These perspectives include: "it takes time to learn," working for the principal, working with other assistant principals, doing tasks, working effectively with teachers, and an integrated perspective. Assistant principals appear to develop these perspectives using a situational adjustment process that includes assessing the requirements of problematic situations, experimenting with ideas and actions to determine how to behave, and choosing strategies that enable them to respond successfully to the situational requirements. The requirement to pass through the functional, hierarchical, and inclusionary boundary passages appears to be the most important organizational factor influencing the development of administrative perspectives. The quality of assistant principals' preparation experiences, their styles and longevity as teachers, and their motivation appear to be the most important individual factors influencing the development of administrative perspectives. Teachers appear to be the most powerful socializing agents. The assistant principal's role may provide essential preparation for a principal's role and may have the potential for developing leadership.

Full textAbstract:
A number of metals have been recovered from a variety of secondary and low-grade primary sources. Processing the leach solution directly to recover metals has the advantage over the conventional metal salt recovery system which usually requires the expensive chemical purification steps to get high added-value chemicals. Metals were recovered from dilute solutions using fluidised bed electrolysis in an easily dissolved form to produce added value-chemicals. A detailed study on the separation of cobalt and nickel from cobalt-nickel cake by oxidative precipitation using Caro's acid as an oxidant is also reported. Following encouraging laboratory studies the process was successfully tested on pilot scale at a copper nickel smelter. The cobalt level was brought down from 8.6 g/l to 50 ppm with the pH kept above 4. Studies have also been carried out for the recovery of gold along with other metals from computer scrap. Following nitric acid pretreatment the gold was recovered using acidic thiourea leaching method. The manufacture of arsenic acid from arsenic(IH) oxide by nitric acid was also studied. Two reported methods are, (1) standard method (addition of solid arsenic oxide to hot acid) and (2) slurry method (addition of acid to slurried arsenic oxide). The problems associated with the standard method are, (a) Excessive foaming and (b) Evolution of large volume of gases leads to uncontrollable reaction. These problems were avoided by changing the standard route to slurry method. The slurry method was tested successfully on a plant scale production at William Blythe & Co. Ltd., U.K. The company is now producing arsenic acid routinely using slurry method. The production of aluminium sulphate from clay samples and the purification of quartz for glass industry is also reported. The use of 50% sulphuric acid was found to be the best to extract all the aluminium in the clay samples. The excess of sulphuric acid (23% of stochiometry) is required to leach all the aluminum. The product was found to contain trace level impurities of iron, calcium, potassium, and sodium. The quartz purification step includes the use of sulphide and non-sulphide collectors to remove the undesirable impurities. The final stage involves the acid washing step to dissolve the acid soluble impurities. The acid washed product was pure and suitable for glass industry.

Blanchard, A. E. "Developmental and mating preference differences in primary and secondary psychopathy." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2016. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3006989/.
Full textAbstract:
There is a long-standing debate regarding developmental differences in primary and secondary psychopathy, and what these differences say in terms of their evolutionary origins. Although both are thought to be fast life history strategies that are adaptive in harsh and unpredictable environments, primary psychopathy is thought to have a genetic basis, while secondary psychopathy is thought to be caused by environmental factors. The aim of the thesis was to contribute further to the debate by investigating hitherto unexamined factors in the development of primary and secondary psychopathy using a Life History, Parental Investment Theory perspective. Specifically, whether quality of parental bonding, quality of attachment in close relationships, and fetal programming (pertaining to prenatal testosterone exposure) differed between men and women high in primary or secondary psychopathy. The contribution of prenatal testosterone to callous unemotional traits and externalising behaviours in children was also examined. Furthermore, as putative adaptive personality types, the attractiveness of primary or secondary psychopathy in partners to heterosexual men and women high or low in primary or secondary for short and long-term mating was investigated. The thesis consists of four studies that utilised a series of questionnaires, the 2D:4D digit ratio and vignettes measured in non-clinical samples: Chapter 2 explored differences between men and women high in primary or secondary psychopathy in recollections of how cold and controlling their parents were during childhood alongside attachment style in adulthood. Primary psychopathy in men was associated with avoidant attachment and uncaring mothers, while in women it was related to uncaring fathers and anxious and avoidant attachment. Secondary psychopathy in men related to uncaring mothers and fathers, while in women it was not related to parental bonding quality or either attachment type. Chapter 3 examined the quality of maternal bonding and exposure to prenatal testosterone (2D:4D ratio) as influences in the development of primary or secondary psychopathy between men and women. The findings re-confirmed differences between sex and psychopathy variants. Chapter 4 investigated the effects of exposure to higher levels of prenatal testosterone (2D:4D ratio) on callous unemotional traits (CU) and externalising behaviour in children aged 5-6 years old. CU traits were found to moderate the relationship between prenatal testosterone and externalising behaviour. Chapter 5 explores the attractiveness and mating preferences of men and women high or low in primary or secondary psychopathy for short and long term relationships. Men high in primary or secondary psychopathy did not discriminate in mate choice in either relationship context, however women high in primary or secondary psychopathy preferred their opposite sex equivalents in short and long-term relationships. Men and women low in primary or secondary psychopathy preferred partners equivalent to them in psychopathy regardless of relationship length. In summary, the results of this thesis demonstrate differences in psychopathy variants between men and women, as well as in children, further highlighting contrasts in genetic and environmental contributions to primary and secondary psychopathy. Moreover, the variations between men and women high in primary or secondary psychopathy appear to function according to inequity in parental investment which also informs their mating preferences in short and long term mating.

Full textAbstract:
The transition from primary to secondary school has been identified as a critical moment in a child’s educational career, which can have implications for their emotional well-being and educational and social outcomes. The majority of literature relating to transition has focused on three main areas; the effects of transition on academic attainment and well-being, pupil’s experience of transition, and predictors of difficult transition. This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of pupils’ transition experiences by exploring an area which is, to date, under-researched. The study explores child and parent constructions relating to transition within a population of primary school pupils who have been identified as ‘vulnerable’. A mixed method approach was utilised to explore parent and child constructions of the primary to secondary transition and whether transition anxiety differs in parent-child dyads that consist of an anxious parent or a non-anxious parent. A sample comprising of 37 parent-child dyads from a single Local Authority participated in the first stage of research. The parents of these children were divided into two groups following the completion of the STAI; anxious parents and non- anxious parents. Each member of the dyad completed a quantitative measure of transition related concerns which were then statistically analysed in relation to the research questions. In addition to the quantitative measures, 11 parent-child dyads participated in individual semi-structured interviews to further explore their construction related to transition. These interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Five themes were found: growth, information gathering, adaptation, struggling with discontinuity and feelings of hope. The implications of findings are discussed in relation to the role of Educational Psychologists and Educational Professionals. Further directions for research are considered, alongside the limitations of the present study.

Full textAbstract:
The transition to secondary school can represent a significant life event for many adolescents and can adversely affect their psychological adjustment and wellbeing. Little is known about how adjustment to this transition can be facilitated for young people. The review paper critically evaluated the evidence-base for school transition programmes that target pupil's mental wellbeing. A keyword search of abstract databases was conducted and 20 studies were evaluated. The majority of studies could not conclude that their intervention improved mental wellbeing to a statistically significant level, and numerous methodological limitations weaken the existing evidence-base. However, the most promising areas of research pertain to intervening with the parents and teachers of adolescents experiencing school transition. Further research should investigate this further. The empirical paper employed a qualitative methodology to examine how adolescents make sense of and create meaning from their experience of going to boarding school, and to explore what can be done to facilitate this adjustment. Ten female and male adolescents were interviewed in their second year of attending boarding school. The interviews, analysed using lnterpretative Phenomenological Analysis, yielded three superordinate themes: 1) 'Home is where the heart is', which captures adolescents experiences of homesickness, the stronger relationships formed with their family, and the development of new attachment figures with their house matron and peers, 2) 'Living in a bubble', which reflects a feeling of being constrained at boarding school and an awareness of it being a hierarchical environment, and 3) 'Gaining familiarity with the place and just being me' as adolescents appeared to positively adjust over time. Results are discussed in terms of attachment, coping and adjustment theories and models of psychosocial development. Clinical and organisational implications for professionals working in boarding schools, as well as suggestions for future research arc discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the fact that the primary languages initiative was not made compulsory in 2011, excellent progress has been made in implementing primary language teaching in the majority of English schools. However, previous research in a range of contexts has shown that a critical success factor for the success of early foreign language teaching lies in the successful transition of pupils from primary to secondary school. Transition studies focused on the core subjects of English, maths and science have shown that there are issues related to social adjustment as well as evidence of a drop in learner motivation across the first year of secondary school along side a hiatus in academic progress. In relation to foreign language teaching, it is well-documented that poor transition and liaison arrangements contributed to the failure of the last major primary languages in England. Several other studies report a lack of clear evidence of a sustained advantage for early starters and a drop in learner motivation following transition which has been attributed to a lack of continuation in teaching approaches and a tendency for secondary schools to start language teaching from scratch. Taking a longitudinal mixed-method approach to the investigation of learner motivation and linguistic progression, with a cohort of 26 students from two primary schools, the study provides detailed information firstly on the levels of French attainment reached at the end of the primary phase as well as motivation for language learning. Data collected at two points post transition show that motivation developed qualitatively and quantitatively across the year, particularly in relation to the learning situation and the perceived instrumentality of language learning. There was no evidence of a hiatus in terms of learner progression in French learning however the results emphasise the role of individual differences in learner outcomes. This study contributes to an increased understanding early learner motivation and provides detailed, insightful and original evidence regarding the learning of French by early learners within an instructed setting.

Full textAbstract:
Proton therapy is a relatively new treatment modality for cancer, having recently been incorporated into hospitals in the last two decades. Although proton therapy has much higher start up and treatment costs than traditional methods of radiotherapy, it continues to expand in use today. One reason for this is that proton therapy has the advantage of a more precise localization of dose compared to traditional radiotherapy. Other proposed advantages of proton therapy in the treatment of cancer may lead to a faster expanse in its use if proven to be more effective than traditional radiotherapy. Therefore, much research must be done to investigate the possible negative and positive effects of using proton therapy as a treatment modality.
In proton therapy, protons do account for the vast majority of dose. However, when protons travel through matter, secondary particles are created by the interactions of protons and matter en route to and within the patient. It is believed that secondary dose can lead to secondary cancer, especially in pediatric cases. Therefore, the focus of this work is determining both primary and secondary dose.
In order to develop relevant simulations, the specifications of the treatment room and beam were based off of real-world facilities as closely as possible. Using available data from proton accelerators and clinical facilities, an accurate proton therapy nozzle was designed. Dose calculations were performed by MCNPX using a simple water phantom, and then beam characteristics were investigated to ensure the accuracy of the model. After validation of the beam nozzle, primary and secondary dose values were tabulated and discussed. By demonstrating the method of these calculations, the purpose of this work is to serve as a guide into the relatively recent field of Monte Carlo methods in proton therapy.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between teachers&rsquointentional, emotional, and cognitive readiness for change and perceived faculty trust in colleagues, in principal, and in clients (students and parents).The study was designed as a correlational study and the participants comprised of 603 teachers working at primary and secondary level public schools selected from the four school districts in Ankara via cluster sampling. For the data collection, newly developed Readiness for Change Scale and Turkish adaptation of Omnibus T-Scale were utilized. Both descriptive and inferential statistics techniques (Canonical Correlation) were used for the data analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis for Readiness for Change Scale and Omnibus T-Scale were also performed within the scope of this study. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed by the software PASW Statistics 18 while the confirmatory factor analysis was performed by the software AMOS 4. The results of the study revealed that teachers&rsquo
readiness for change and perceived organizational trust were significantly correlated with each other in a way that intentional, emotional, and cognitive readiness for change were all associated with teachers&rsquo
readiness for change and contributed significantly in perceived organizational trust. Conversely, the results indicated that perceived faculty trust in colleagues, in principal, and in clients (students and parents) are all correlated with perceived organizational trust, and contributed significantly in teachers&rsquo
readiness for change. Consequently, the results of this study revealed that organizational trust is an essential internal context variable, which is correlated with teachers&rsquo
readiness for change. In this respect, the decision-making body of educational organizations, MONE, and schools should undertake necessary precautions to empower trust-based relationship within the teacher, principal and client (students and parents) triangulation for effective implementation and desired outcomes of the change interventions.

This paper presents the theory of Secondary Representation of modules over a commutative ring and their Attached Primes; introduced in 1973 by I. MacDonald as a dual to the important theory of associated primes and primary decomposition in commutative algebra. The paper explores many of the basic aspects of the theory of primary decomposition and associated primes of modules in the hopes to delineate and motivate the construction of a secondary representation, when possible. The thesis discusses the results of the uniqueness of representable modules and their attached primes, and, in particular, the existence of a secondary representation for Artinian modules. It concludes with some interesting examples of both secondary and representable modules, highlighting the consequences of the results thus established.

Relacions entre els creixements primari i secundari en dues espècies de Quercus mediterranis.
Es van estudiar les relacions entre els creixements primari i secundari en dues espècies de Quercus mediterranis que coexisteixen en una mateixa localitat durant varis anys de característiques climàtiques contrastades. Es van analitzar aquestes relacions per mitjà de la realització de diversos tipus de mesures (longitud i diàmetre de branques, àrea foliar, pes sec d’aglans i gemes apicals, número i longitud de gemes, creixement radial i anatomia de la fusta de primavera) i anàlisis (estadístics: correlació, alometries, models d’equacions estructurals, models lineals mixtes generalitzats; químics: nitrogen i carbohidrats). El creixement secundari va condicionar el tamany de les gemes per mitjà de l’escalat alomètric i millorant la conductivitat hidràulica de les branques, estant ambdues relacions modulades pel clima. La producció d’aglans també va dependre del creixement secundari de les branques de l’any. En les branques portadores d’aglans la secció transversal de les mateixes va començar a augmentar des del final de la primavera, mentre que al llarg de la branca l’àrea transversal total ocupada pels vasos va disminuir significativament des de la zona inferior a l’apical, de la mateixa manera que també ho va fer l’àrea del xilema i el número de vasos. La màxima taxa de creixement de les gemes es va assolir en ambdues espècies entre finals de juliol i meitat d’agost, afectant-li positivament la temperatura mínima de l’aire. Les gemes més llargues (gemes apicals) van mostrar una major probabilitat de brollar que les més curtes (gemes axilars), encara que no es va trobar cap llindar de tamany per sota del qual la brostada esdevingués impossibilitada. Si considerem que el desenvolupament de les diferents estructures de la planta presenta diferents llindars climàtics, la informació sobre la organització temporal dels distints events fenològics (fenofases) resulta essencial per interpretar les respostes funcionals de les plantes.Relaciones entre los crecimientos primario y secundario en dos especies de Quercus mediterráneos. Se estudiaron las relaciones entre los crecimientos primario y secundario en dos especies de Quercus mediterráneas que coexisten en una misma localidad durante varios años de características climáticas contrastadas. Se analizaron dichas relaciones por medio de la realización de diversos tipos de medidas (longitud y diámetro de tallos, área foliar, peso seco de bellotas y yemas apicales, número y longitud de yemas, crecimiento radial y anatomía de la madera temprana) y análisis (estadísticos: correlación, alometrías, modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, modelos lineares mixtos generalizados; químicos: nitrógeno y carbohidratos). El crecimiento secundario condicionó el tamaño de las yemas por medio del escalado alométrico y mejorando la conductividad hidráulica de los tallos, estando ambas relaciones moduladas por el clima. La producción de bellotas también dependió del crecimiento secundario de los tallos del año. En los tallos portadores de bellota la sección transversal del tallo comenzó a aumentar desde el final de la primavera, mientras que a lo largo del tallo el área transversal total ocupada por vasos disminuyó significativamente desde la zona inferior a la apical, del mismo modo que lo hicieron el área del xilema y el número de vasos. La máxima tasa de crecimiento de las yemas se alcanzó en ambas especies entre el final de julio y la mitad de agosto y le afectó positivamente la temperatura mínima del aire. Las yemas más largas (yemas apicales) mostraron una mayor probabilidad de brotar que las más cortas (yemas axilares), aunque no se encontró ningún umbral de tamaño por debajo del cual la brotación resultara imposibilitada. Si consideramos que el desarrollo de las distintas estructuras de la planta presenta diferentes umbrales climáticos, la información sobre la organización temporal de los distintos eventos fenológicos (fenofases) resulta esencial para interpretar las respuestas funcionales de las plantas.
This study evaluated the relationships between primary and secondary growth in two coexisting Mediterranean Quercus species during several years of contrasted climatic conditions. These relationships were investigated by performing several types of measurements (stem length and diameter, leaf area, acorn and apical bud mass, length and number of buds, radial growth, earlywood anatomy) and analyses (statistical: correlation, allomentries, structural equation models, generalized linear mixed models; chemical: nitrogen and carbohydrates). Secondary growth affects to a great extent bud size through allometric scaling and by improving hydraulic conductivity, both relationships being modulated by climate. Acorn production also depends on shoot secondary growth. In acorn-bearing shoots the stem cross-sectional area increased since late spring, whereas along the stem the total transversal area occupied by vessels decreased significantly from basal to apical position as did the xylem area and the number of vessels.

Full textAbstract:
IL-12/IFN-γ axis is a principal pathway for intramacrophagic pathogens immunity such as leishmania or mycobacteria. Alterations in this axis, being both congenic (causing the primary immunodeficiency Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease, MSMD) or acquired (treatment with anti-TNF-α drugs) cause susceptibility to this type of microbes. MSMD causes susceptibility mainly to non-pathogenic mycobacteria, salmonella and candida; besides, MSMD- causing mutations have been detected in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Leishmania patients. On the other hand, the death of an anti-TNF-α in-utero exposed infant after BCG vaccination together with the effect of anti-TNF-α drugs in tuberculosis reactivation in adults and the known tole of TNF-α in B cell maturation reveal the need for an in-depth study of in-utero exposition to anti-TNF-α drugs. With that our hypothesis is that patients with extrapulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection or visceral leishmaniasis have a primary dysfunction of the IL-12/IFN-γ axis and that exposure to anti-TNF-α antibodies during whole pregnancy in children born to mothers with inflammatory bowel disease affects the normal development of the neonatal immune system, conferring a secondary immunodeficiency, which includes a dysfunction of the IL- 12/IFN-γ axis.
Both extrapulmonary tuberculosis (n=23) and visceral leishmaniasis (n=24) patients presented alterations in the IL-12/IFN-γ pathway; however, we did not detect any complete defect. Concretely, the patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis had a diminished response to IFN-γ while visceral leishmaniasis patients had a diminished production of IFN-g. Genetic study of these patients to unravel mutations causing partial forms of susceptibility to intramacrophagic infections is then needed. Besides, we detected an IL-12Rβ1 defect in a Peruvian patient that was misdiagnosed as multi-resistant tuberculosis, being a disseminated infection by the vaccine strain BCG. After the detection of the genetic defect, the patient was transferred to the National Institute of Health in the USA, where she received the appropriate treatment and the microbiological diagnosis was corrected resulting in the resolution of the infection. This case remarks the fact that suspicion of this forms of immune deficiency and their detection changes the prognostics and outcome of the patient.
The study of the effect of anti-TNF-α on the exposed infant immune system (n=7) revealed a T and B cell maturation defect that was corrected at 12 months, normal cell proliferation after mitogen stimulation and normal immunoglobulin production and vaccine response without an increase of severe infections. On the other hand, Treg cell frequency was low in exposed infants, without reaching normalization at 12 months of age. Treg cell frequency in neonates inversely correlated with anti-TNF-α through level in the mother during third trimester of pregnancy and with T cell proliferation after a mild mitogen stimulation. These data with the increased atopia/allergy in the studied infants suggest the need of a long-term follow-up for Treg cells and the advent of immune dysregulation events. Antimycobacterial response was diminished in exposed infants and not totally recovered after washing the drug from the blood in the culture. On the other hand, coinciding with the decrease of the drug levels in blood, the production of IL-12, IFN-γ and TNF-α increased. We conclude that the effects of anti-TNF-α exposure during pregnancy are not permanent and that BCG vaccination in these population should be avoided until, at least, 12 months of age.
By last, the transition between the intra- and extra-uterine world is a special life-situation where the immune system plays a major role. We studied it in healthy cord blood donors, with special
attention to the IL-12/IFN-γ pathway and B cell compartment, including regulatory B cells (Breg). Breg cells, defined as CD24hiCD38hi B cells, were expanded in cord blood, with capacity to produce IL-10 and to inhibit IL-4 and IFN-γ production by T cells with a similar phenotype when compared with adult Bregs. Besides, response to mycobacterial challenge was diminished. Interestingly, the diminished production of IFN-γ was associated with Breg cell frequency, opening the door to new research studying the role of these cells in different neonatal conditions as well as in cord blood derived stem cell transplantation.Esta tesis explora la vía de IL-12/IFN-g, central en la inmunidad a gérmenes intramacrofágicos, en el contexto de defectos primarios y secundarios. Los defectos primarios en esta vía causan susceptibilidad mendeliana a las micobacterias (MSMD), una inmunodeficiencia primaria que cursa con susceptibilidad a micobacterias no patogénicas principalmente, pero en la que se han descrito pacientes con infecciones por Mycobacterium tuberculosis y con leishmaniasis. En este escenario, la hemos estudiado en pacientes pediátricos con tuberculosis extrapulmonar y leishmaniasis visceral, revelando que no existían defectos completos de la vía, pero sí una alteración funcional en ésta en los dos grupos de pacientes estudiados. Esto reveló la necesidad de un estudio genético exhaustivo para revelar defectos parciales causantes de esta susceptibilidad. El diagnóstico la deficiencia de IL-12Rβ1 en una niña con infección diseminada por BCG, inicialmente diagnosticada como tuberculosis multirresistente, permitió el tratamiento adecuado que llevó a su curación, mostrando la relevancia del diagnóstico temprano del MSMD. Por otro lado, el hecho que se describiera un caso de muerte tras la vacunación con BCG de un neonato expuesto a fármacos anti-TNF-α durante el embarazo hizo pensar que la exposición a estos fármacos durante el embarazo pudiera llevar a defectos en el sistema inmunitario del neonato. Tras su estudio, observamos una inmadurez transitoria del compartimiento B y T; por otro lado, la disminución de la frecuencia de células T reguladoras que no normalizó con la edad juntamente con un aumento de la presencia de atopia o alergia en este grupo. Además, observamos una disminución de la respuesta a micobacterias en los niños expuestos, que mejoró con la edad. Concluimos que los efectos de los niños expuestos a anti-TNF-α durante el embarazo no parecen ser permanentes y que la vacunación con BCG de esta población debe ser evitada hasta los 12 meses de edad. El estudio de sangre de cordón de neonato sano reveló un aumento de la población de células B reguladoras. Además, la frecuencia de estas células se asoció inversamente con la producción de IFN-γ tras el estímulo con micobacterias, que se encontró disminuido en el neonato. Abriendo la puerta a nuevas investigaciones para estudiar su papel en diferentes condiciones del neonato, así como en el trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos.
