Abstract:
Complete issue of Desert Plants.<br>Ironwood Forest National Monument, created in 2000, is located west of Tucson and south of Casa Grande, in Pima and Pinal Counties, south-central Arizona. The boundaries encompass parts or all of eight desert hill and mountain ranges and two valleys. In the flora of 593 taxa, one federally listed endangered plant species, Echinocactus horizonthalonius variety nicholii, occurs within the Monument. Two other plant species common in Mexico, Cathestecum brevifolium and Pisonia capitata, have their only known United States populations in the Monument. Flora plots revealed a wide range in species composition and numbers based on topography and geology. Census plots performed on Carnegiea gigantea, Olneya tesota, Parkinsonia florida, Parkinsonia microphylla, and Prosopis velutina showed populations in most areas of the Monument to be healthy and stable. When compared with floras of nearby sites of similar habitat, the Ironwood Forest National Monument was found to be remarkably rich in species and low in exotic taxa.

Abstract:
The Tucson Mountains are a small desert range (about 40,000 hectares) in the Arizona Upland subdivision of the Sonoran Desert in Pima County, southern Arizona. They lie in an ecological transition between the Sonoran Desert and higher biotic communities including desert grassland, chaparral, and montane woodlands and forests. The dominant vegetation types are desertscrub and desert grassland. The vascular flora is unusually rich with 610 species and 23 infraspecific taxa in 334 genera and 80 families. Ten families make up 62 percent of the flora while 29 families are represented by a single species. Life forms include herbs (76 percent), shrubs (nine percent), subshrubs (seven percent), succulents (six percent), and trees (two percent). The herbaceous species are largely represented by grasses (20 percent) and composites (17 percent). Annuals are the most common life form (45 percent). These grow in response to precipitation in the winter-spring (61 percent), summer-fall (33 percent), or both (six percent). Most taxa (51 percent) were found at less than five locales; these locally distributed species are generally rare or uncommon. Thirteen percent of the flora are introduced exotics of which only seven species are well established in undisturbed habitat. Over 3200 specimens have been collected since 1884, providing a rich history for a local flora. Approximately 25 species were collected prior to 1950 that have not been collected since.

Abstract:
Ragged Top is a small desert peak in north-central Pima County, in the Santa Cruz River watershed in the northeastern Sonoran Desert. There are 398 plant taxa in 66 families, on Ragged Top and in the immediate watershed. Ragged Top's rugged topography and its geographic position in relationship to other biotic communities in the region have made it a habitat for a remarkable palette of plants. One species, Pisonia capitata (Nyctaginaceae), was an addition to the flora of the United States, and another, Bouteloua diversispicula (Poaceae), was a confirmation of a single, questionable United States collection from 1867. This is a study of the vascular plants and the vegetational composition on the mountain and surrounding desert.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis comprises a novel, Genie and Paul, and a critical commentary which posits Genie and Paul as a ‘translation’ of J. J. H. Bernadin de Saint-Pierre’s, Paul et Virginie, an eighteenth-century French novel set in colonial Mauritius. Genie and Paul explores its British Mauritian protagonists’ complex sense of cultural identity, with reference to Paul et Virginie, a novel of great personal significance to me. In my critical commentary, I explore the ways in which my novel creatively engages with Paul et Virginie, and make a case for using the term ‘translation’ to define my rewriting of it, with reference to the growing body of postcolonial literary translation theory. I examine the significance of Paul et Virginie to the development of my identity as a writer, and argue that my ‘translation’ is an effective method of negotiating my complex relationship both to Mauritius, and to the European literary canon. I contextualise this discussion by looking at writers who share a similarly equivocal relationship with their cultural background, chiefly V.S. Naipaul and Pankaj Mishra. I consider how these writers’ backgrounds inflect their respective relationships with literary tradition, and examine the strategies they have employed to negotiate this. Whereas Naipaul has been initially reluctant to admit to literary influences, Mishra overtly acknowledges his in The Romantics, his autobiographical first novel. I show how this novel is a ‘translation’ of a key text in Mishra’s personal canon, Flaubert’s A Sentimental Education, and I use this discussion as a model for the analysis of my own ‘translation’ of Paul et Virginie.

Abstract:
[From Editorial] The papers included in this special issue highlight some of the issues of elderliness and old age in Africa outlined above. Using different disciplinary approaches, the papers should appeal to age-old researchers in varied fields. In a discussion of old age and ageing in pre-industrial Africa, Sagner moves away from the rather simplistic images of old age which still beset many African gerontologists. Drawing on the Xhosa-speaking peoples in the 19th century he argues that the experience of later life was shaped by gender, kinship and "class" differences as well as by biographical factors, making for a variety of later-life experiences. He points out that old age was not a clear-cut period of life with unique demographic, economic or social characteristics/ conditions, set apart from earlier life phases. However, he notes that (deep) old age was firmly tied to religious and metaphysical beliefs. He argues that loss of bodily functions in (deep) old age was hardly stigmatizing as the loss was socially constructed as a sign of increasing other-worldliness. By linking old age with superhuman agency, the ideological hegemony of old age remained unbroken, despite bodily decline, even though the latter could herald loss of this-worldly status and, finally, abandonment in the bush. Moller and Sotshangaye discuss contemporary relations between Zulu grandmothers and grandchildren in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province. Though the grandmothers whom the two authors interviewed expressed deep concern about losing the respect of their grandchildren, in the eyes of the latter old age is, surprisingly, not denigrated as a possible source of moral guidance. Moller and Sotshangaye point out that strains in the grandmothers-grandchildren relationship are located in the rapidly changing social context which easily tends to outdate the elders' teaching, rather than in the intergenerational politics of the family per se. Paradoxically, however, macro-social changes have also led to a re-strengthening of the grandmothers' moral authority. The paper also shows that successful ageing- in the sense of one's personal happiness in old age - is, at least partly, relational defined.<br>Moving northwards up the subcontinent to Mozambique, da Silva records the results of a case study on the situation of older people who had to cope with several long-standing wars and natural disasters in their lifetimes. She analyses the repercussions which endured displacements, forced migrations and other war-related life-course experiences had on the lives of today's elderly, both at the personal and social level. In detailing social policy propositions she reminds us that there is a fundamental divergence between how older people are represented in some authoritative discourses and the social reality of old age. To overcome the prevailing negative representations of old age is of utmost practical importance, as the problematicity image encourages non-participatory government approaches and hinders thus the empowerment of the elderly. Turning to a methodological plane, Mommersteeg details some of the problems - and advantages - which the use of interpreters in qualitative research settings entail. In keeping with a hermeneutic approach, he shows that the interpreter is in fact a culture broker, rather than a mere provider of a linguistically correct translation. Mommersteeg's paper illustrates very well that interviews which are mediated through interpreters are not dialogically but triologically constituted, as are their "products" - the storied voices of the interviewees. In her article, Coetzee reports on exploratory field research in an old-age centre outside Bloemfontein in South Africa's Free State province. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews she finds that elderly residents experience old age negatively. Though this subjective reality partly reflects the residents' difficulties in adjusting to their ageing bodies, it is mainly grounded in her subjects' difficulties to construct a framework within which their present position in the world could be instilled with personal/social meaning. Coetzee' s paper stresses both the relevance of a life course perspective and a gender-sensitive approach to the study of old-age experience.

Abstract:
This special issue of SAJG on "The family and ageing in Africa" marks yet another step in the annals of the African Gerontological Society (AGES). The first major step was taken in December 1993 when the society held its first workshop in Accra, Ghana to discuss an agenda on ageing. The results of the workshop were published under the title Effective responses to ageing in Africa by the year 2000 (Apt, Bester & Insley, 1995). Twenty years ago it would have been an impossible task to assemble African scientists and social welfare practitioners to discuss the subject of ageing. Very little researched information existed then and many African governments were likely to assert that ageing was no problem in their country. Even in the 1980s a great deal of scepticism existed in Africa about the need for African gerontology research. Today, and taking a cue from the deliberations of the first AGES workshop, there is no country in our region that is not confronted with the negative impacts of development and urbanization as their country charts its route towards modernization. Even though an ageing agenda still has a low profile on the economic desks of many African governments, the realisation that there are indeed difficulties to be overcome regarding the care of elderly people in Africa is widespread.

Abstract:
[From Editorial] Articles in this Special Issue on health and ageing in Africa come from a broad spectrum of disciplines and the articles reflect a wide range of topics. Three contributions deal with the maintenance of good health. Remaining active is a key component of successful ageing which minimizes the loss of functional independence in the elderly. An investigation of the role of gender in the analysis of gait of older people by Macfarlane, Nicholson and Muller provides important methodological information which may be applied in practical outcomes-based assessments. The development of a reliable tool to assess gait, as a measure of lower-extremity function, is thus pertinent. There is growing evidence that good nutritional status is an important determinant of optimal cognitive and physical functioning in older people and influences both quality of life and health status. In a study of institutionalized elderly women in Cape Town, Charlton, Joosen and Jaffer report a high prevalence of suboptimal vitamin C status. The authors make out a case for low-dose micro-nutrient supplementation in residents of homes for the aged, particularly in homes where a cook-chill catering system is operated. They suggest that ongoing nutritional assessment should be an integral part of the care of older residents. In keeping with the topic of nutrition, Walker, a prolific author on public health issues in Africa over the past 50 years, has contributed a guest column in which he addresses the nutrition-ageing paradigm from an epidemiological viewpoint. He highlights opportunities for high-quality research on the association between life-style factors and healthy ageing in the continent. Moving on to a specific form of health-care delivery, Makoni examines language practices in the care that is rendered to older residents of a Cape Town nursing home. He describes barriers in communication between nursing staff and residents from different ethnic backgrounds, which compromise the quality of care that is rendered and which may result in conflict and tension between staff and residents. In her article, Tlou evaluates a community-based programme in which older women who live in rural areas of Botswana are trained to educate members of their communities in the prevention of the spread of the HIV I AIDS virus. The findings demonstrate the benefits of targeting lay persons for health education activities in rural Africa and the utilization of older persons, in this case women, as a valuable resource. The special issue also includes two opinion pieces and an item which opens debate. In separate contributions, Wilson and Duodu examine challenges facing effective health-care service delivery systems for older persons in African countries and express their opinions in this regard. Wilson's suggestions for multidisciplinary specialist teams, including incontinence teams, nutrition teams and vision teams, and for the development of training for lay people to become generic " rehabilitation assistants," are examples of appropriate community-based African solutions to health service delivery needs of the older population. Duodo makes similar suggestions to those of Wilson, specifically regarding geriatric care service delivery in Ghana. He also highlights the common practice of traditional self-medication in rural-dwelling older Ghanaians. Readers are invited to comment on, and indeed to augment, the authors' opinions in Letters to the Editor. To date, very little work has been done in South Africa on biological aspects of ageing. In a short contribution on the free radical theory of ageing, Van Rensburg and Potocnik open debate on this topic. Once again, readers are invited to contribute to debate in this area in letters to the editor, for publication in the following number of the journal.

Abstract:
[From Editorial] In this special issue of SAJG, an attempt is made to demonstrate how a selection of studies were conducted and how the research outcomes have been translated into action. Heslop, Agyarko, Adjetey-Sorsey and Mapetla give us a paper in which they have evaluated the methodology used in studies in Ghana and South Africa to determine the contributions of older people. After long periods of implementation and learning, this participatory-research methodology has become synonymous with HAl's research work. The authors take us through the methodology, describe the studies carried out in the two countries, and provide us with a vivid picture of not only the problems which older people in the countries face, but also the immense contribution which they make to the well-being of other people. The impact which this work has had in both countries is notable. Older participants in the studies have taken it upon themselves to advocate their rights, and the governments in the two countries have started to put measures in place to address some of the problems identified in the studies. The paper by Van Vuuren and Groenewald examines the pattern of expenditure of pension income by black pension beneficiaries in the Free State Province of South Africa, against a backdrop of these persons' living circumstances. It goes into detail about issues regarding the payment of pensions, pension sharing within households and expenditure of pension money on specific items, and challenges allegations that pensioners are frequently robbed of their pension money and that they lose this income to loan sharks. Some of the findings of this paper contrast with the findings of the HAl studies conducted with partners in the Northem, Gauteng and Kwazulu-Natal provinces of South Africa (see the first paper in this issue by Heslop and colleagues). In their paper, Kowal, Wolfson and Dowd point out that there is a dearth of empirical and credible data on older people in Africa. Although some research has been conducted on this population, the authors note that by and large the available data derive from small samples, are scattered, and have neither been widely disseminated nor shared. The authors further note a lack of common approaches to data collection. Realising these gaps, the World Health Organisation arranged a workshop in Harare, Zimbabwe in January 2000, to begin a process to develop a minimum data set (MDS) for use by researchers in Africa. An overall aim of the MDS project is to provide data to influence policy and decision makers in various areas which affect older persons.<br>Needs-driven research on nutrition and ageing, carried out by HAl in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is reported by Busolo, Ismail and Peachey in their paper. Nutrition and ageing in developing countries is an area which bas received scant attention. The nutritional requirements of older persons in these countries have not only been inadequately investigated but as a result, nutrition practitioners in various settings simply shoot in the dark. The authors take us down the path which the research took, from bow the needs were identified, to how the research was conducted, to how an intervention programme was set up. They give us some key findings of the research, describe the dissemination process and the application of the findings, and suggest a way forward. An Africa-wide programme currently being implemented as a direct result of this work is aimed at providing knowledge and information on the nutritional requirements of older people to key nutrition institutes, older people's organisations, N GOs (particularly those working in emergency situations), donors and governments. HelpAge International earlier conducted research in the Magu district of Tanzania on the plight of older women who are victimised on suspicion of their being witches (cf. Forrester Kibuga, 1999). Forrester Kibuga and Dianga now draw on this work in their paper. The authors take us through facts pertaining to the witchcraft-related killings, some of the problems which older people in the district face, the changing roles of older people in that area, beliefs and customs of the communities, and the stance of the government and the church on witchcraft. The dynamics of gender issues are also discussed. Following on this research, HAl designed and is now implementing a programme aimed at addressing some of the factors which lead up to these killings and developing sustainable structures to protect older people from violence. In his paper, Gorman draws on the work of HAl in various parts of the world, particularly in Africa - including Tanzania, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya. He argues that violence against older women and men in Africa cannot be attributed to a single, straight-forward problem but must be understood within a complex web that touches on history, family structures, and social and economic factors. He makes practical suggestions on what needs to be done to deal with the problem of violence. HelpAge International will soon be implementing an Africa-wide programme as a response to some of the issues which have been raised in its research on violence. While there is a clear need for more research on ageing in Africa, the research should not be done in a vacuum. There is a simultaneous need for greater collaboration and sharing of research results, and perhaps most importantly, for more action based on research outcomes. At the end of the day researchers should never forget that they have an ethical commitment to their subjects, to society and to their colleagues.<br>Thanks are due to Karen Peachey and Alex Dianga in the HAl Africa Regional Development Centre for the co-ordination of this special issue. Special thanks are due to Monica Ferreira for dedicating the issue to the experience and work of HAl, and for her commitment to addressing issues pertaining to ageing in Africa. She has worked tirelessly to ensure the success of not only this issue of SAJG but of previous issues as well. I have found her a pillar of support and a pleasure to work with. Tavengwa M. Nhongo.

Full text
Abstract:
Volume one represents the research component of the qualification, and is comprised of a conceptual literature review and a qualitative research paper. The conceptual review analysed a small sample of the qualitative literature on couplehood and dementia. The analysis used Dialogic/Performance Analysis (Reissman, 2008) to provide critical commentary about the implications of participant voice, linguistic features and context in research papers, and how these may uncover possible narratives that are embedded in the literature. Implications of embedded narratives have been discussed. The research portion is a piece of qualitative research that used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The theoretical underpinning is that of Systemic psychology. Three couples were recruited (the husbands were all diagnosed with dementia). The couples have been presented as case studies showing themes that emerged between the partners in the couples. The discussion focuses on the perceptions of continuity/discontinuity in the relationship and shared and unshared narratives. Clinical implications and directions for future research have been proposed. Volume two represents the clinical aspects of this qualification and is comprised of five clinical case reports: A case study using dual formulation, a small scale service-related research (service evaluation), single-case experimental design, case study and the abstract from an oral presentation.

Abstract:
By researching visual traditions of representing widows in relation to a social role, I explore how these may be related to processes of mourning and memory. My study begins with an historical reading and, along with an analysis of Renaissance widow portraiture, I trace the experiences of widows in the Cape of Good Hope. For the purposes of this thesis, I have selected images of widows to investigate memory-work particularly when speaking of loss. I re-view these memory processes through recent historical and art historical discourse with reference to contemporary South African artworks in order to understand how public memory is formed by way of visual documentation. These narratives around widowhood have informed the subject matter for my Master’s exhibition and shed light on my own experience as a widow. The interaction between objects and memory are of particular interest and manifest in my studio art practice.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite many studies of language use in motivational interviewing, the vast majority have based this upon the quantitative coding of practitioner and client linguistic behaviours in order to relate these to client change outcomes. The current study aimed to investigate how clients and practitioners co-constructed the process of change using discourse analysis. Ten MI sessions for alcohol use were analysed in terms of how alcohol was verbally constructed, the functions and effects of rhetorical strategies employed and subject positions. Power and subjectivity were considered alongside these strands of analysis. The findings suggest that clients and therapists constructed alcohol as either a destroyer or facilitator, drawing upon discourses of differing degrees of power, which impacted upon the availability of client positions of agency and expertise in relation to alcohol. There was also a diversity of function within categories of client and practitioner speech. These findings have implications for clinical practice, in terms of moving beyond the recognition of ‘types of client talk’ and responding with an ‘MI consistent’ verbal behaviour, and moving towards reinvigorating the spirit of MI in relation to clinical outcome.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, we study the random volume $ Delta$ of the r-simplex generated by (r+1) independent and isotropic random points in $ Re sp{n}$. The moment expressions for $ nabla$ = r! $ Delta$ are available in the literature if the random points are (1) uniformly distributed, (2) beta type-1 distributed and (3) beta type-2 distributed. We will focus on the random points coming from beta type-2 distribution in this thesis. By considering the structure of moments and using the method of transformations, various series representations for the exact density of W, a constant multiple of $ nabla sp2$, are derived. Gamma type approximations and Pearson curves approximation to the exact density of W are discussed. Some numerical computations are given to compare the accuracy of each method. Two asymptotic normality results are obtained, which are analogous to the result conjectured by Miles (1971) for the case of uniformly distributed random points. Some applications are also considered.

Abstract:
Objectives: To determine whether the associations of walking with selected cardiovascular risk factors [CVRFs: glycemia, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure (BP)] are mediated by abdominal obesity (AO) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).<br>Methods: 94 women and 106 men with DM2 were assessed (June 2006-June 2008) for walking (2 weeks pedometer); AO (waist to hip ratio, WHR; waist circumference); glycemia (hemoglobin A1C, HbA1C); dyslipidemia therapy; and blood pressure (BP). Associations between walking and CVRFs were examined using multivariate regression, with and without adjustment for AO and potential confounders.<br>Results: A 1000 daily step increment in women was associated with a 0.13% (95% CI -0.25, -0.01) lower HbA1c, a 0.22 (95% CI: 0.63, 1.00) odds of dyslipidemia therapy, a -2.86 mmHg (95% CI: -4.32, -1.40) difference in systolic and a -1.66 mmHg (95% CI:-2.49, -0.82) difference in diastolic BP. With adjustment for AO, only associations with BP retained significance. The same step increment in men was associated with a 0.10% (95% CI: -0.22, -0.02) lower HbA1c and a -0.77 mm Hg difference in diastolic BP (95% CI: -1.55, 0.00). Adjustment for AO did not impact these associations.<br>Discussion: Greater understanding of the role of changes in AO may provide insight into sex differences in CVD risk in DM2.<br>Objectifs: Pour déterminer si les associations de la marche avec des facteurs de risque cardio-vasculaires choisis [CVRFs : glycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension (BP)] sont atténués par l'obésité abdominale (OA) dans les patients avec DM2.<br>Méthodes: 94 femmes et 106 hommes avec DM2 ont été évalués (juin 2006-juin 2008) pour marcher (pedometer de 2 semaines); AO (taille à rapport de hanche, WHR ; circonférence de taille) ; glycemia (hémoglobine A1C, HbA1C) ; thérapie de dyslipidemia ; et tension artérielle (BP). Des associations entre marcher et CVRFs ont été examinées utilisant la régression multivariable, avec et sans l'ajustement pour l'ao et les confounders potentiels. fr<br>Résultats: Un incrément quotidien de l'étape 1000 chez les femmes a été associé à un 0.13% (ci de 95% -0.25, -0.01) HbA1c inférieur, un 0.22 (ci de 95% : 0.63, 1.00) chances de la thérapie de dyslipidemia, -2.86 mmHg (ci de 95% : -4.32,) différence -1.40 dans systolique et -1.66 mmHg (ci de 95% : - 2.49,) différence -0.82 à BP diastolique. Avec l'ajustement pour l'ao, seulement les associations avec BP ont maintenu la signification. Le même incrément d'étape chez les hommes a été associé à un 0.10% (ci de 95% : -0.22, -0.02) HbA1c inférieurs et -0.77 une différence du millimètre hectogrammes à BP diastolique (ci de 95% : -1.55, 0.00). L'ajustement pour l'ao n'a pas effectué ces associations. fr<br>Discussion: Un plus grand arrangement du rôle des changements de l'ao peut fournir la perspicacité dans des différences de sexe dans le risque de CVD dans DM2. fr

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis consists of two volumes. The first is a literature review exploring the development of aggression in adolescent males with a summary of research that outlines a complex multi-factor trajectory across the lifespan towards aggression in males. The literature review focuses on how flawed social cognitive processes act as a proximal mechanism that facilitates aggressive and violent responses during social interactions and how a social information processing model has been proposed to explain aggression in adolescent males. The second paper presents findings for an empirical study of adolescent males with either high or low levels of aggression who completed a visual probe task with emotive facial image stimuli. The paper represents the first study employing a visual probe design with a sample of adolescent males identified with high levels of aggression. Findings revealed evidence of reduced attentional bias to angry expressions (angry) in those with high levels of aggression compared to non-aggressive controls. Implications for social information processing theory are discussed.

Abstract:
A intolerância gástrica em recém-nascidos prematuros constitui um grande desafio no cuidado neonatal, levando ao uso prolongado de nutrição parenteral e cateteres venosos centrais, aumentando a taxa de infecções neonatais graves e o tempo internação hospitalar dessas crianças. O atraso na maturação da função motora é apontado com o fator determinante da intolerância alimentar dessa faixa etária e a presença de resíduos gástricos a sua principal manifestação clínica. Estudos em adultos mostraram que a velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico é volume dependente, mas em recém-nascidos prematuros este fator não foi adequadamente estudado. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a correlação entre velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico e volume gástrico (em recém-nascidos humanos e ratos), avaliar a influência de fatores pré, peri e pós-natais no esvaziamento gástrico (em recém-nascidos humanos) e estudar os mecanismos fisiológicos que poderiam explicar o efeito do volume na velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico (em ratos). No estudo em humanos, foi realizada a medida da velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico de 20 crianças com idade gestacional entre 28 e 32 semanas através de ultrassonografia, realizada antes e depois da infusão da dieta por sonda orogástrica no primeiro mês de vida. No estudo animal, foi avaliada a velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico de 89 ratos com idade entre 1 e 21 dias através em diferentes tempos de separação materna. Em ambos estudos foi utilizado método de ultrassonografia para estimativa dos valores de esvaziamento gástrico. No modelo animal foram realizadas também medidas de força de contração muscular para diferentes graus de estiramento da parede gástrica. A velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico mostrou correlação importante com o volume gástrico em humanos ((R2 = 0,66 p<0,01) e em ratos (R2 = 0,43 p<0,01) e as crianças com mais de uma semana de vida esvaziam em média 50% do volume oferecido nos primeiros 30 minutos após o término da mamada. As medidas in vitro em ratos mostraram que a contração muscular gástrica induzida por agonista foi diretamente proporcional ao grau do estiramento da parede gástrica e foram mediadas através da via ROCK-2. Em recém-nascidos humanos e ratos o volume gástrico é fator determinante da velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico. Nos ratos, o esvaziamento gástrico não é dependente da idade, mas sim do volume gástrico através da ativação da via ROCK-2, estimulada pelo estiramento da parede gástrica. Em humanos, tipo de leite, uso de ventilação mecânica, tipo de parto, uso de corticosteroide antenatal, uso de antibióticos e/ou antifúngicos, uso de fototerapia não influenciaram a velocidade de esvaziamento gástrico.<br>Feeding intolerance in preterm infants is a major challenge in neonatal care, leading to a prolonged use of parenteral nutrition and central venous catheters, increasing the rate of severe neonatal infections and the length of hospital stay of these infants. The delay in the maturation of motor function is indicated with the determinant factor of the feeding intolerance of this age group and the presence of gastric residuals its main clinical manifestation. Studies in adults have shown that the rate of gastric emptying is volume dependent. But in preterm infants, this factor has not been adequately addressed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between gastric emptying rate and gastric volume (in human and rat neonates), to evaluate the influence of pre, peri and postnatal factors on gastric emptying (in human newborns) and to study the physiological mechanisms that could explain the effect of volume on gastric emptying rate (in rats). In the human study, the gastric emptying rate of 20 children with gestational age between 28 and 32 weeks was measured by ultrasonography performed before and after infusion of the diet by gavage in the first month of life. In the animal study, the gastric emptying rate of 89 rats aged 1 to 21 days through at different times of maternal separation was evaluated. In both studies, an ultrasound method was used to estimate gastric emptying values. In the animal model muscle strength measurements were also performed for different degrees of gastric wall stretching. Gastric emptying rate showed a significant correlation with the gastric volume in humans ((R2 = 0.66 p <0.01) and in rats (R2 = 0.43 p <0.01) and in the 30 minutes after feeding 50% of the volume had been emptied. In vitro measurements in rats showed that gastric muscle contraction induced by agonist was directly proportional to the degree of gastric wall stretching and were mediated via upregulation of ROCK-2 activity. In human and rat neonates, the gastric volume is a determinant of gastric emptying rate. In rats, gastric emptying is unrelated to postnatal age but dependent on gastric volume, through the activation of the ROCK-2 pathway, wall strain-induced. In humans, milk type, use of mechanical ventilation, type of delivery, use of antenatal corticosteroids, use of antibiotics and/or antifungals, phototherapy use did not influence gastric emptying rate.

Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3645/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is the first academic study of nineteenth-century artist and drawing master Samuel Lines (1778-1863) and his five sons: Henry Harris Lines (1800-1889), William Rostill Lines (1802-1846), Samuel Rostill Lines (1804-1833), Edward Ashcroft Lines (1807-1875) and Frederick Thomas Lines (1809-1898). The thesis, with its catalogue, has been a result of a collaborative study focusing on a collection of works on paper by the sons of Samuel Lines, from the Permanent Collection of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA). Both the thesis and catalogue aim to re-instate the family’s position as one of Birmingham’s most prominent and distinguished artistic dynasties. The thesis is divided into three chapters and includes a complete and comprehensive catalogue of 56 works on paper by the Lines family in the RBSA Permanent Collection. The catalogue also includes discursive information on the family’s careers otherwise not mentioned in the main thesis itself. The first chapter explores the family’s role in the establishment of the Birmingham Society of Arts (later the RBSA). It also explores the influence of art institutions and industry on the production of the fine and manufactured arts in Birmingham during the nineteenth century. The second chapter discusses the Lines family’s landscape imagery, in relation to prevailing landscape aesthetics and the physically changing landscape of the Midlands. Henry Harris Lines is the main focus of the last chapter which reveals the extent of his skills as archaeologist, antiquarian and artist.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, chemically reacting flows are studied mainly for detonation problems under 1D, cylindrical and spherical symmetry conditions. The mathematical formulation of chemically reacting, inviscid, unsteady flows with species conservation equations and finite-rate chemistry is described. The Euler equations with finite-rate chemistry are discretized by Finite-Volume method and solved implicitly by using a time-spliting method. Inviscid fluxes are computed using Roe Flux Difference Splitting Model. The numerical solution is implemented in parallel using domain decomposition and PVM library routines for inter-process communication. The solution algorithm is validated first against the numerical and experimental data for a shock tube problem with and without chemical reactions and for a cylindrical and spherical propagation of a shock wave. 1D, cylindrically and spherically symmetric detonations of H2:O2:Ar mixture are studied next.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to produce zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and other metal borides such as lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) and cerium hexaboride (CeB6) by magnesiothermic reduction (reaction of metal oxide, boron oxide and magnesium) using volume combustion synthesis (VCS) and mechanochemical process (MCP). Production of ZrB2 by VCS in air occurred with the formation of side products, Zr2ON2 and Mg3B2O6 in addition to MgO. Formation of Zr2ON2 was prevented by conducting VCS experiments under argon atmosphere. Wet ball milling was applied before leaching for easier removal of Mg3B2O6. Leaching in 5 M HCl for 2.5 hours was found to be sufficient for removal of MgO and Mg3B2O6. By MCP, 30 hours of ball milling was enough to produce ZrB2 where 10% of excess Mg and B2O3 were used. MgO was easily removed when MCP products were leached in 1 M HCl for 30 minutes. Complete reduction of ZrO2 could not be achieved in either production method because of the stability of ZrO2. Hence, after leaching VCS or MCP products, final product was composed of ZrB2 and ZrO2. Formation of LaB6 and CeB6 were very similar to each other via both methods. Mg3B2O6 appeared as a side product in the formation of both borides by VCS. After wet ball milling, products were leached in 1 M HCl for 15 hours and pure LaB6 or CeB6 was obtained. As in ZrB2 production, 30 hours of ball milling was sufficient to form these hexaborides by MCP. MgO was removed after leaching in 1 M HCl for 30 minutes and the desired hexaboride was obtained in pure form.
