Background: There is increasing interest in the provision of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) to people with intellectual disabilities. A small number of studies have begun to address therapy process issues. Aims: The aim of this paper is to contribute to process research through the development of a taxonomy of question types for use in analysing therapy interactions in CBT for people with intellectual disabilities. Method: A taxonomy of CBT question types was adapted and applied to the transcriptions of session 4 and 9 of 15 CBT therapy dyads. Results: The taxonomy was reliably applied to the data. Therapists used significantly more questions in session 4 than in session 9, therapists used fewer questions in the final quarter of all sessions, and therapists used more questions with people with higher IQ scores in session 4 but not in session 9. Conclusions: The taxonomy of questions is reliable and may be used in future studies of CBT therapy process with people with intellectual disabilities.

We employed an associative learning paradigm to test the hypothesis that exercise hyperpnea in humans arises from learned responses forged by prior experience. Twelve subjects undertook a “conditioning” and a “nonconditioning” session on separate days, with order of performance counterbalanced among subjects. In both sessions, subjects performed repeated bouts of 6 min of treadmill exercise, each separated by 5 min of rest. The only difference between sessions was that all the second-to-penultimate runs of the conditioning session were performed with added dead space in the breathing circuit. Cardiorespiratory responses during the first and last runs (the “control” and “test” runs) were compared for each session. Steady-state exercise end-tidal Pco 2 was significantly lower ( P= 0.003) during test than during control runs for both sessions (dropping by 1.8 ± 2 and 1.4 ± 3 Torr during conditioning and nonconditioning sessions, respectively). This and all other test-control run differences tended to be greater during the first session performed regardless of session type. Our data provide no support for the hypothesis implicating associative learning processes in the ventilatory response to exercise in humans.

Maximum and mean phonation times as a function of coaching were obtained from 28 third-grade girls with normal voice quality. All subjects produced three prolonged//trials in each of two experimental sessions, the sessions being separated by 1 week. Coaching was counterbalanced across sessions, resulting in four groups of seven subjects each: (a) Group NC-C did not receive coaching during the first experimental session but did receive coaching during the second, (b) Group C-NC received coaching during the first but not the second session, (c) Group C-C received coaching during both sessions, and (d) Group NC-NC received no coaching during either session. Coaching during the//prolongations produced significantly longer maximum and mean phonation times but did not reduce within-subjects variability. No familiarization effects were apparent across the two experimental sessions.

The concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs) in plasma and erythrocytes, the activity of selected antioxidant enzymes in erythrocytes: catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and the levels of hemoglobin (HGB) and haematocrit (HCT) were determined in 40 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) subjected to 14 treatment sessions in a Haux Starmed 2200 hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy involved breathing 100% oxygen at 0.25 MPa. Blood for analysis was collected from the basilic vein at three time points: before the first HBO session, approximately 5 min after the first session, and after the 14th session. The control group included 20 healthy individuals never before treated with HBO therapy. Compared to the pre-HBO values, a 10% increase (P<0.05) in the TBARS concentration in erythrocytes, a 28% increase in the GPx activity (P<0.05), and a 7% decrease in the SOD activity (P<0.05) were observed after 14 HBO sessions. The CAT activity decreased by 6% (P<0.05) after the first session. The TBARS concentration in plasma was 13% higher (P<0.01), while that in erythrocytes was 24% lower (P<0.001) in the SSNHL patients before the first HBO session compared to the control group. The CAT activity in the SSNHL patients before HBO therapy was 26% higher (P<0.001) than that in the control group. A statistically significant reduction in HGB and HCT after 14 HBO sessions (P<0.01) compared to the pre-HBO values was demonstrated. SSNHL is accompanied by disturbance in the oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium. Repeated stimulation with hyperbaric oxygen modulates the activity of antioxidant enzymes. It seems that the increased generation of hydrogen peroxide is responsible for the changes in the activity of antioxidant barrier enzymes observed after HBO sessions.

Full textAbstract:
Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by conical pain associated with autonomic dysregulation of the sufferer, without many treatment alternatives. The objective of this study was to find out the relationship between physical exercise in an aquatic environment, pain perception and cardiovascular autonomic control in adult women suffering from fibromyalgia. The sample consisted of 15 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia who participated in 24 40-minute exercise sessions in a water environment. Anthropometric measures, heart rate variability (HRV) and pain perception (PCS) were evaluated in four experimental times (t1, baseline; t2, session 8; t3, session 16; t4, session 24). In addition, the perception of pain was evaluated in each session through VAS. The results show that the perception of pain through VAS decreased when comparing all the means evaluated before and after each session (p <0.05). In the PCS application, a lower Total Pain and Rumination was obtained when comparing t1 with t4. HRV values showed that SDNN and RMSSD were higher after the session, when t4 was compared with t1 (p <0.05). The mean heart rate decreased at the end of the sessions, showing a better adaptation to exercise. The relationship between pain and cardiac measurements was given by a positive correlation in the pain domains recorded before the sessions and the RMSSD and SDNN values. In conclusion, the practice of physical exercise in an aquatic environment would indicate a lower perception of pain and a better cardiac autonomic response in women with fibromyalgia.

Abstract Background Disc herniation is one of the factors that causes low back pain (LBP). Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a myofascial release technique on pain and disability in patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation. Method 30 patients with a herniated lumbar disc, divided into 2 groups. One group (n=15) received electrotherapeutic modalities (TENS, pulsed ultrasound, hot packs) in addition to the myofascial release technique (MFR) on trigger points in 9 soft tissue elements. The other group (n=15) received only electrotherapeutic modalities. All patients underwent 10 treatment sessions. In both groups we assessed back and lower extremity pain intensity, functional disability level and trigger point pain threshold before treatment and after 5 and 10 sessions. Results For back pain, the median between-group differences (95% CI) compared to baseline were 2 (1–2) after the 5th session and 2 (1–4) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and 10th sessions was 1 (0–2). For functional disability, the mean between-group differences (95% CI) compared to baseline were 5 points (1.8–8.1) after the 5th session and 8.3 points (4.2–12.3) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and tenth sessions was 3.34 points (1.02–5.6). For trigger point pain threshold, the mean between-group differences compared to baseline were −1.47 kg/cm2 (−1.7 to − 1.17) after the 5th session and −3.17 (−3.6 to −2.7) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and 10th sessions was −1.7 kg/cm2 (−2.04 to −1.3). Conclusion In conclusion, MFR might be an effective treatment for reducing pain and disability in patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation.

ABSTRACT Introduction: A single session of resistance training decreases brachial blood pressure (BP) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, it is not known whether similar responses occur in aortic BP, which is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a single session of resistance training on aortic BP in PAD patients. Methods: This randomized, crossover, controlled trial involved 16 patients. All of them performed a session of resistance training (R - 3 x 10 reps in eight exercises, 5-7 on the OMNI Scale) and a control session (C - resting for 50 min). Before and after each session, aortic BP was assessed by applanation tonometry technique. Results: There was an increase in systolic (P<0.002) and mean (P<0.001) aortic BP in both sessions; however, higher increases were observed in C session (P<0.001). Additionally, diastolic aortic BP only increased after C session (P=0.004). The hypotensive effect of the exercise on systolic, diastolic, and mean aortic BP were -12±2, -6±2, and -7±2 mmHg, respectively. Conclusion: A single session of resistance training promoted a hypotensive effect on aortic BP of patients with PAD, indicating an acute reduction in cardiovascular risk in this population.

Full textAbstract:
Background It is unknown whether placement of a chest port (port) and a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) in a single session increases the risk of the early device infections in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing chemoradiation. Purpose To compare the incidence of early (≤30 days) port and G-tube infections placed in a single session compared to two separate sessions in patients with HNC. Material and Methods Between January 2012 and December 2019, 169 patients with HNC undergoing chemoradiation had a port and a G-tube placed in a single session (single-session group), while 25 had both devices placed in two separate sessions (two-session group) within 30 days of each other. The incidence of early device infections was compared between groups. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine if the number of sessions was a variable affecting device infections. Results A total of 6 (3%) early port infections and 13 (6.7%) early G-tube infections were identified. The two groups did not significantly differ in the incidence of early port infections (3.0%, 5/169 and 4.0%, 1/25, p = 0.59) nor early G-tube infections (7.1%, 12/169 and 4.0%, 1/25, p = 1.0). The number of sessions for device placement was not a variable affecting overall device infections in logistic regression analyses (odds ratio: 1.24, 95% confidence interval: 0.20–7.82, p = 0.82) after controlling for potential confounding variables. Conclusions The risk of early device infections in single-session placement appeared to be the same as two-session placement in patients with HNC undergoing chemoradiation.

Full textAbstract:
The session order of aerobic and resistance training seems to be important for glycemic behavior, as when performed in isolation they help to reduce glycosylated hemoglobin. The purpose of the present study was to compare the acute effect of aerobic and resistance training session orders on glycemia levels of older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A counterbalanced crossover design was used in this study. Eighteen older adults with type 2 diabetes, 13 men and 5 women, non-insulin and beta-blocker dependents, were recruited. All participants performed two training sessions in different orders: aerobic + resistance (AER) and resistance + aerobic (RES). There was a seven-day interval between sessions. In the AER session, a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in blood glucose was observed between training (Mid moment: p < 0.001) and after each session (Post moment: p = 0.003) compared to the baseline (Pre moment). In the RES session, no difference (p = 0.731) was found at the Mid moment in relation to the Pre moment, but a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in blood glucose was observed in the Post moment. A comparison of the different training sessions showed a significant difference (p = 0.012) at the Mid moment, whereas the blood glucose showed a sharper reduction the AER session. In conclusion, we observed that combined training, regardless of the order, was effective for acute glycemic behavior in older people with type 2 diabetes, and aerobic training was the main factor responsible for the reduction blood glucose.

Objectives Three-dimensional gait analysis has been recommended as part of standardized gait assessment in people with spinal cord injury. The aim was to investigate inter- and intra-session reliabilities of gait kinematics in people with spinal cord injury. Methods Fifteen adults with spinal cord injury performed two test sessions on separate days. Six infrared cameras, 16 reflective markers and the Plug-in gait model were used. For each subject, five gait trials from both sessions were included. The Gait Profile Score and the Gait Variable Score were used as kinematic outcome measures. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, minimal detectable change, and Bland–Altman plots. Results Inter-session intraclass correlation coefficient for all variables was >0.82 and standard error of measurement <1.8°, except for hip rotation. Intra-session reliability was found to be high (≥0.78) and slightly better than that for inter-session. Minimal detectable change for all variables was <4.7°, except for hip rotation. Conclusions The high inter- and intra-session reliabilities indicate small intrinsic variation of gait. Thus, three-dimensional gait analysis seems to be a reliable tool to evaluate kinematic gait in adults with spinal cord injury, but caution is warranted especially for hip rotation evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Behavior analysts refer to a decrease in response rate following repeated, contingent presentations of a reinforcing stimulus as a product of satiation. Other evidence suggests that these decreases may often be due to habituation to the sensory properties of the reinforcing stimulus. The investigation reported here sought to determine whether decreases in operant responding by 3 adults with developmental disabilities were due to satiation or habituation. During baseline, participants placed poker chips into a container, and no reinforcement was available. Within subsequent phases, participants received diet lemon-lime soda on a fixed-ratio (FR) schedule of reinforcement. In one condition, the color of the soda was constant throughout the session, and in another condition food coloring was added several minutes into the session. Results for at least 2 participants indicated that: (a) soda functioned as a reinforcer for placing poker chips in the can; (b) response rates decreased within the session to baseline levels; and (c) response rates increased following a change in the color of the soda within the session. Results for the third participant were less clear. The results support the argument made by other researchers that the terms habituation (a weakening of a behavior following contact with the reinforcing stimulus) and stimulus specificity (a strengthening of a behavior following a change in the reinforcing stimulus) may be more appropriate descriptors of within-session changes in responding. The factors associated with habituation and satiation, as well as both basic and applied research examples, are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The massive success and proliferation of Internet technologies has forced network operators to recognise the benefits of an IP-based communications framework. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) has been proposed as a candidate technology to provide a non-disruptive strategy in the move to all-IP and to facilitate the true convergence of data and real-time multimedia services. Despite the obvious advantages of creating a controlled environment for deploying IP services, and hence increasing the value of the telco bundle, there are several challenges that face IMS deployment. The most critical is that posed by the widespread proliferation ofWeb 2.0 services. This environment is not seen as robust enough to be used by network operators for revenue generating services. However IMS operators will need to justify charging for services that are typically available free of charge in the Internet space. Reliability and guaranteed transport of multimedia services by the efficient management of resources will be critical to differentiate IMS services. This thesis investigates resource management within the IMS framework. The standardisation of NGN/IMS resource management frameworks has been fragmented, resulting in weak functional and interface specifications. To facilitate more coherent, focused research and address interoperability concerns that could hamper deployment, a Common Policy and Charging Control (PCC) architecture is presented that defines a set of generic terms and functional elements. A review of related literature and standardisation reveals severe shortcomings regarding vertical and horizontal coordination of resources in the IMS framework. The deployment of new services should not require QoS standardisation or network upgrade, though in the current architecture advanced multimedia services are not catered for. It has been found that end-to-end QoS mechanisms in the Common PCC framework are elementary. To address these challenges and assist network operators when formulating their iii NGN strategies, this thesis proposes an application driven policy control architecture that incorporates end-user and service requirements into the QoS negotiation procedure. This architecture facilitates full interaction between service control and resource control planes, and between application developers and the policies that govern resource control. Furthermore, a novel, session based end-to-end policy control architecture is proposed to support inter-domain coordination across IMS domains. This architecture uses SIP inherent routing information to discover the routes traversed by the signalling and the associated routes traversed by the media. This mechanism effectively allows applications to issue resource requests from their home domain and enable end-to-end QoS connectivity across all traversed transport segments. Standard interfaces are used and transport plane overhaul is not necessary for this functionality. The Common PCC, application driven and session based end-to-end architectures are implemented in a standards compliant and entirely open source practical testbed. This demonstrates proof of concept and provides a platform for performance evaluations. It has been found that while there is a cost in delay and traffic overhead when implementing the complete architecture, this cost falls within established criteria and will have an acceptable effect on end-user experience. The open nature of the practical testbed ensures that all evaluations are fully reproducible and provides a convenient point of departure for future work. While it is important to leave room for flexibility and vendor innovation, it is critical that the harmonisation of NGN/IMS resource management frameworks takes place and that the architectures proposed in this thesis be further developed and integrated into the single set of specifications. The alternative is general interoperability issues that could render end-to-end QoS provisioning for advanced multimedia services almost impossible.

Full textAbstract:
Hypothesis of the study: It is assumed that the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjuvant in root canal therapy can promote the repair of teeth with periapical lesions treated in one session. Objectives: This in vivo study was to evaluate the effects of photodynamic therapy as an adjuvant in root canal therapy in one session for the repair of periapical lesions. Method: Fourteen human teeth with mortification pulp and periapical lesions were randomly divided into two groups (n=7): G1- endodontic treatment was performed in one session and G2 underwent endodontic therapy in one session associated with photodynamic therapy. The photodynamic therapy used methylene blue dye (100μ/mL) for five minutes and diode laser low power (685nm, 100mW) for three minutes. The follow-ups were performed by periapical radiographs. The images were evaluated by the computer program Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1, using the system K values. By which we assessed the area of periapical bone healing. Radiographs were taken prior to execution, immediately after treatment, and six months following the treatment. Results: There were statistically significant differences between the G2- endodontic therapy in one session associated with photodynamic therapy and G1- endodontic therapy in one session (p<0.05) without PDT. Conclusion: The endodontic treatment in one session associated with photodynamic therapy was more effective in repair of the periapical lesion.<br>Hipótese do estudo: O emprego da terapia fotodinâmica (PDT) como coadjuvante do tratamento endodôntico possa favorecer a reparação de dentes portadores de lesão periapical, tratados em sessão única. Objetivos: Este estudo in vivo, teve por objetivo avaliar, os efeitos da terapia fotodinâmica como coadjuvante do tratamento endodôntico em sessão única, na reparação de lesões periapicais. Método: Quatorze dentes humanos portadores de mortificação pulpar e lesão periapical, foram aleatoriamente divididos em dois grupos (n=7): G1- foi realizado tratamento endodôntico em sessão única, G2- foi submetido à terapia endodôntica em sessão única, associado à terapia fotodinâmica. Para a terapia fotodinâmica utilizou-se como corante o azul de metileno (100μ/mL) por cinco minutos e o laser de diodo de baixa potência (685nm, 100mW) por três minutos. A proservação foi realizada por meio de radiografias periapicais. As imagens foram avaliadas por um programa de computador Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1, valendo-se dos valores médios de K. Pelo qual foi avaliado a área de cicatrização óssea periapical. As radiografias foram tomadas antes da execução do tratamento endodôntico, imediatamente após e proservado com cento e oitenta dias após o tratamento. Resultados: Houve diferença estatísticamente significante entre o grupo G2- terapia endodôntica em sessão única associado à terapia fotodinâmica e G1- terapia endodôntica em sessão única (p< 0,05). Conclusão: O tratamento endodôntico em sessão única associado à terapia fotodinâmica mostrou-se mais eficaz na reparação da lesão periapical.

Full textAbstract:
The recent introduction of conferencing products such as telepresence has led to immense growth in the number of voice conferencing calls on the internet protocol (IP) network. Currently, voice conferencing users are provided with many options, such as free session initiation protocol (SIP) soft phone and voice over internet protocol (VOIP) calls at a lower rate. As technology and social networking sites continue to grow, there is a good possibility that these sites could be integrated with VOIP conferencing solution, which would lead to enormous growth in IP voice traffic. The recent addition of core routers by network software companies also indicates an increased prediction for real-time and multimedia traffic. With such a prediction in the growth of voice traffic, it becomes essential to estimate the delay as well as voice quality analytically.
The SIP conferencing solution includes a key centralized entity called a conference server, the role of which is not limited to maintain the media sessions between participants and forwarding traffic from the active speaking user to other participants. Considering the finite endtoend delay of 150msec for VOIP traffic, the conference server should handle the job efficiently so that more delay is not introduced to voice traffic. Since voice traffic must pass through several middle agents such as Session Border Controllers and proxy servers for specific purposes, the delay increases with these centralized devices in addition to that introduced by devices such as routers, firewalls, and switches. Therefore, the delay management of voice traffic in the conference server becomes prominent as the voice traffic becomes futile beyond the finite end-to-end delay of 150msec. The delay of voice traffic in the SIP conference call scenario increases due to many factors. The factors that were influenced by the conference server are the application processing capacity of the server and traffic intensity. In this thesis, a model has been proposed to estimate the number of sessions that the conference server can handle at a specific processing capacity with less delay. This model was simulated using Matlab, and the observed results verify the proposed model, with graphs showing the necessary optimum processing capacity of the conference server.<br>Thesis (M.S.)--Wichita State University, College of Engineering, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior<br>The aim of this study was to evaluating the effectiveness of educational strategy in group session from the use of the flipchart "I can feed my child" in the promotion of self-efficacy in breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding. It is a controlled, randomized clinical trial, with 104 mothers in the intervention group (IG) and 104 in the control group (CG). The intervention was characterized by the use of the flipchart "I can feed my child" in GI, applied in group session. Data collection was carried out in the rooming and by telephone accommodation in six times to 15 days after birth and monthly until 120 days. The place of recruitment of participants was the Toco-gynecological Unit of a referral hospital for the Midwest region of Rio Grande do Sul in labor and birth attendance. It used the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale - Short Form (BSES-SF) to measure the scores of self-efficacy in nursing, as well as forms with sociodemographic, obstetric history, current pregnancy, parturition, and birth and child data to 120 days of life. It was assured the blinding of the four research assistants in data collection. There was compared to the average range by Student t test, Mann-Whitney and ANOVA. The associations between self-efficacy and categorical variables were analyzed by odds ratios and the test XÂ, likelihood ratio and of X for linear trend in proportions. There was found a higher percentage of women with high self-efficacy during follow-up period in the intervention group (p = 0.002) and an increase in average self-efficacy scores in that group at follow-up (p <0.05). The practice of exclusive breastfeeding at 120 days after birth was higher in the intervention group, with chance to exclusively breastfeed 1.75 (0.75 to 4.04) times in the postpartum group who received the educational intervention. There were observed higher offer breastfeeding rates in the intervention group and remained above 52% throughout the monitoring. The change of exclusive breastfeeding for other foods in the intervention group was 1.8 (0.3 to 9.7) times higher in the age group up to 19 years old and 1.3 (0.5 to 3.7) times for primiparous women; in the control group the chance to offer other food was of 1.4 (0.5 to 3.8) times higher in primiparous. In the intervention group, the average self-efficacy in nursing was higher when associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 30 and 90 days of follow-up. We conclude that the scores of self-efficacy in nursing were higher in the GI from the rooming until 120 days after birth. Thus, there was modification or enhancement of maternal self-efficacy in nursing using the flipchart "I can feed my child" in group session, reflecting the offer of exclusive breastfeeding during the study period.<br>O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a eficÃcia da estratÃgia educativa em sessÃo grupal a partir da utilizaÃÃo do Ãlbum seriado âEu posso amamentar o meu filhoâ na promoÃÃo da autoeficÃcia em amamentar e do aleitamento materno exclusivo.

A coleta de dados foi realizada no alojamento conjunto e por contato telefÃnico em seis momentos, aos 15 dias apÃs o parto e mensalmente atà os 120 dias. O local de recrutamento das participantes foi a Unidade Toco-GinecolÃgica de um hospital de referÃncia para a regiÃo centro-oeste do Rio Grande do Sul no atendimento ao parto e nascimento. Foi utilizada a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale â Short Form (BSES-SF) para mensurar os escores de autoeficÃcia em amamentar, alÃm de formulÃrios com dados sociodemogrÃficos, antecedentes obstÃtricos, gestaÃÃo atual, parto, nascimento e dados da crianÃa atà os 120 dias de vida. Garantiu-se o cegamento dos quatro auxiliares de pesquisa na coleta dos dados. Compararam-se as mÃdias da escala pelos testes t de Student, Mann-Whitney e ANOVA. As associaÃÃes entre a autoeficÃcia e as variÃveis categÃricas foram analisadas pelas razÃes de chances e pelos testes de 2, razÃo de verossimilhanÃa e de 2 para tendÃncia linear em proporÃÃes. Encontrou-se maior percentual de mulheres com autoeficÃcia alta ao longo do perÃodo de acompanhamento no grupo intervenÃÃo (p=0,002) e um aumento da mÃdia dos escores de autoeficÃcia nesse grupo no perÃodo de acompanhamento (p<0,05). A prÃtica do aleitamento materno exclusivo aos 120 dias apÃs o parto foi superior no grupo intervenÃÃo, com chance de amamentar exclusivamente de 1,75 (0,75 - 4,04) vezes no grupo de puÃrperas que receberam a intervenÃÃo educativa. Observaram-se maiores Ãndices de oferta do aleitamento materno no grupo intervenÃÃo, mantendo-se acima dos 52% em todo o acompanhamento. A mudanÃa do aleitamento materno exclusivo para outros alimentos no grupo intervenÃÃo foi 1,8 (0,3 - 9,7) vezes mais elevada na faixa etÃria atà 19 anos e 1,3 (0,5 - 3,7) vezes para as primÃparas; no grupo controle a chance de oferecer outro alimento foi 1,4 (0,5 - 3,8) vezes superior nas primÃparas. No grupo intervenÃÃo, a mÃdia de autoeficÃcia em amamentar foi superior quando associada ao aleitamento materno exclusivo aos 30 e 90 dias de acompanhamento. Conclui-se que os escores de autoeficÃcia em amamentar foram mais elevados no GI, desde o alojamento conjunto atà os 120 dias apÃs o parto. Assim, houve modificaÃÃo ou reforÃo da autoeficÃcia materna em amamentar com a utilizaÃÃo do Ãlbum seriado âEu posso amamentar o meu filhoâ em sessÃo grupal, repercutindo na oferta de aleitamento materno exclusivo ao longo do perÃodo de estudo.

Full textAbstract:
Individually administered intelligence tests are a routine component of psychological assessments of children who may meet criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disorders (LD), or emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). In addition to providing potentially useful test scores, the individual administration of an intelligence test provides an ideal opportunity for observing a child’s behavior in a standardized setting, which may contribute clinically meaningful information to the assessment process. However, little is known about the associations between test scores and test session behavior of children with these disorders. This study examined patterns of test scores and test session observations in groups of children with ADHD, LD, EBD who were administered the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition (SB5), as well as in control children from the SB5 standardization sample. Three hundred and twelve children receiving special education services for ADHD (n = 50), LD (n = 234), EBD (n = 28) and 100 children selected from the SB5 standardization sample were selected from a data set of children who were administered both the SB5 and the Test Observation Form (TOF; a standardized rating form for assessing behavior during cognitive or achievement testing of children). The groups were then compared on SB scores and TOF scores. Associations between test scores and TOF scores in children with ADHD, LD, and EBD and normal controls were also examined. The results of this investigation indicated that children with ADHD, LD, and EBD and normal control children differed on several SB5 and TOF scales. Control children scored higher on all of the SB5 scales than children with LD, and scored higher on many of the SB5 scales than children with ADHD and EBD. Children with EBD demonstrated the most problem behavior during testing, followed by children with ADHD. Children with LD were similar to control children with respect to test session behavior. In addition, several combinations of test scores and test session behavior were able to predict diagnostic group status. Overall, the results of this investigation suggest that test scores and behavioral observations during testing can and should be important components of multi-informant, multi-method assessment of children with ADHD, LD, and EBD.

Full textAbstract:
Although functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has gained increasing importance in investigating neural substrates of anxiety disorders, less is known about the stress eliciting properties of the scanner environment itself. The aim of the study was to investigate feasibility, self-reported distress and anxiety management strategies during an fMRI experiment in a comprehensive sample of patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia (PD/AG). Within the national research network PANIC-NET, n = 89 patients and n = 90 controls participated in a multicenter fMRI study. Subjects completed a retrospective questionnaire on self-reported distress, including a habituation profile and exploratory questions about helpful strategies. Drop-out rates and fMRI quality parameters were employed as markers of study feasibility. Different anxiety measures were used to identify patients particularly vulnerable to increased scanner anxiety and impaired data quality. Three (3.5%) patients terminated the session prematurely. While drop-out rates were comparable for patients and controls, data quality was moderately impaired in patients. Distress was significantly elevated in patients compared to controls; claustrophobic anxiety was furthermore associated with pronounced distress and lower fMRI data quality in patients. Patients reported helpful strategies, including motivational factors and cognitive coping strategies. The feasibility of large-scale fMRI studies on PD/AG patients could be proved. Study designs should nevertheless acknowledge that the MRI setting may enhance stress reactions. Future studies are needed to investigate the relationship between self-reported distress and fMRI data in patient groups that are subject to neuroimaging research.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSession types statically describe communication protocols between concurrent message-passing processes. Unfortunately, parametric polymorphism even in its restricted prenex form is not fully understood in the context of session types. In this paper, we present the metatheory of session types extended with prenex polymorphism and, as a result, nested recursive datatypes. Remarkably, we prove that type equality is decidable by exhibiting a reduction to trace equivalence of deterministic first-order grammars. Recognizing the high theoretical complexity of the latter, we also propose a novel type equality algorithm and prove its soundness. We observe that the algorithm is surprisingly efficient and, despite its incompleteness, sufficient for all our examples. We have implemented our ideas by extending the Rast programming language with nested session types. We conclude with several examples illustrating the expressivity of our enhanced type system.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSession types are widely used as abstractions of asynchronous message passing systems. Refinement for such abstractions is crucial as it allows improvements of a given component without compromising its compatibility with the rest of the system. In the context of session types, the most general notion of refinement is the asynchronous session subtyping, which allows to anticipate message emissions but only under certain conditions. In particular, asynchronous session subtyping rules out candidates subtypes that occur naturally in communication protocols where, e.g., two parties simultaneously send each other a finite but unspecified amount of messages before removing them from their respective buffers. To address this shortcoming, we study fair compliance over asynchronous session types and fair refinement as the relation that preserves it. This allows us to propose a novel variant of session subtyping that leverages the notion of controllability from service contract theory and that is a sound characterisation of fair refinement. In addition, we show that both fair refinement and our novel subtyping are undecidable. We also present a sound algorithm, and its implementation, which deals with examples that feature potentially unbounded buffering.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCompositional methods are central to the development and verification of software systems. They allow breaking down large systems into smaller components, while enabling reasoning about the behaviour of the composed system. For concurrent and communicating systems, compositional techniques based on behavioural type systems have received much attention. By abstracting communication protocols as types, these type systems can statically check that programs interact with channels according to a certain protocol, whether the intended messages are exchanged in a certain order. In this paper, we put on our coalgebraic spectacles to investigate session types, a widely studied class of behavioural type systems. We provide a syntax-free description of session-based concurrency as states of coalgebras. As a result, we rediscover type equivalence, duality, and subtyping relations in terms of canonical coinductive presentations. In turn, this coinductive presentation makes it possible to elegantly derive a decidable type system with subtyping for $$\pi $$ π -calculus processes, in which the states of a coalgebra will serve as channel protocols. Going full circle, we exhibit a coalgebra structure on an existing session type system, and show that the relations and type system resulting from our coalgebraic perspective agree with the existing ones.

Full textAbstract:
Click-Through Rate (CTR) prediction plays an important role in many industrial applications, such as online advertising and recommender systems. How to capture users' dynamic and evolving interests from their behavior sequences remains a continuous research topic in the CTR prediction. However, most existing studies overlook the intrinsic structure of the sequences: the sequences are composed of sessions, where sessions are user behaviors separated by their occurring time. We observe that user behaviors are highly homogeneous in each session, and heterogeneous cross sessions. Based on this observation, we propose a novel CTR model named Deep Session Interest Network (DSIN) that leverages users' multiple historical sessions in their behavior sequences. We first use self-attention mechanism with bias encoding to extract users' interests in each session. Then we apply Bi-LSTM to model how users' interests evolve and interact among sessions. Finally, we employ the local activation unit to adaptively learn the influences of various session interests on the target item. Experiments are conducted on both advertising and production recommender datasets and DSIN outperforms other state-of-the-art models on both datasets.

Full textAbstract:
Design and engineering in real-world projects is often influenced by reduction of the problem definition, trade-offs during decision-making, possible loss of information and monetary issues like budget constraints or value-for-money problems. In many engineering projects various stakeholders take part in the project process on various levels of communication, engineering and decision-making. During project meetings and VE sessions between the different stakeholder’s, information and data is gathered and put down analogue and/or digitally, consequently stored in reports, minutes and other modes of representation. Results and conclusions derived from these interactions are often influenced by the user’s field of experience and expertise. Personal stakes, idiosyncrasy, expectations, preferences and interpretations of the various project parts could have implications, interfere or procrastinate non-functionality and possible rupture in the collaborative setting and process leading to diminished prospective project targets, requirements and solutions. We present a hybrid tool as a Virtual Assistant (VA) during a collaborative Value Engineering (VE) session in a real-world design and engineering case. The tool supports interaction and decision-making in conjunction with a physical workbench as focal point (-s), user-interfaces that intuit the user during processing. The hybrid environment allows the users to interact un-tethered with real-world materials, images, drawings, objects and drawing instruments. In course of the processing captures are made of the various topics or issues at stake and logged as iterative instances in a database. Real-time visualization on a monitor of the captured instances are shown and progressively listed in the on-screen user interface. During or after the session the stakeholders can go through the iterative time-listing and synthesize the instances according to i.e. topic, dominance, choice or to the degree of priority. After structuring and sorting the data sets the information can be exported to a data or video file. All stakeholders receive or have access to the data files and can track-back the complete process progression. The system and information generated affords reflection, knowledge sharing and cooperation. Redistribution of data sets to other stakeholders, management or third parties becomes more efficient and congruous. Our approach we took during this experiment was to [re]search the communication, interaction and decision-making progressions of the various stakeholders during the VE-session. We observed the behavioral aspects during the various stages of user interaction, following the decision making process and the use of the tool during the course of the session. We captured the complete session on video for analysis and evaluation of the VE process within a hybrid design environment.

Full textAbstract:
Catalyzed by the passing of the York University Open Access Policy last year, a recognition has been growing at York University, like most other institutions, about the value of Open Educational Resources (OER) and more broadly, open education. This heightened awareness led to the formation of a campus-wide Open Education Working Group in January 2020. The group advocated that faculty members who receive internal funding for teaching innovation projects through York’s Academic Innovation Fund (AIF) should include a Creative Commons license on their grant outputs to facilitate the re-use, and potentially re-mixing, of the content by educators inside and outside of York University. A copy and/or link to their grant output would also be deposited into York’s institutional repository, YorkSpace. To support the 71 funded projects in achieving these lofty goals, an open education and open licensing curriculum was developed by two of the librarian members of the Open Education Working Group. This session describes how the librarians created the training program and participants will leave the session better understanding: How to develop learning modules for adult learners and apply these best practices when teaching faculty online (synchronously & asynchronously); How to access York’s open education training program and learn how they can remix the content for their own institution’s training purposes; The common types of questions and misconceptions that arise when teaching an open education and Creative Commons licensing program for faculty. Originally the program was conceived as an in-person workshop series; however, with the COVID-19 campus closure, it was redesigned into a four module synchronous and asynchronous educational program delivered via Moodle, H5P and Zoom. Modeled after the SUNY OER Community Course and materials from Abbey Elder’s OER Starter Kit, the program gave grant recipients a grounding in open educational resources, searching open course material repositories, copyright/Creative Commons licensing, and content deposit in York’s institutional repository, including OER metadata creation and accessibility considerations. The librarians modeled best practices in the use and creation of Creative Commons licensed resources throughout the program. Qualitative feedback was gathered at the end of each module in both the synchronous and asynchronous offerings of the program and will be shared with participants. The presenters will also discuss lessons learned, next steps, and some of the challenges they encountered. https://youtu.be/n6dT8UNLtJo

On May 7–8, 2001, the Population Council and the Center for Reproductive Health Research & Policy of the University of California, San Francisco, convened a technical seminar in New York City on the use of misoprostol for women’s health indications. The seminar was designed to provide a forum for researchers, providers, women’s health advocates, and educators to exchange information with the goal of advancing the potential of misoprostol to improve women’s health. Participants discussed the state of the art in research, examined current clinical use of misoprostol, and created strategies for the future. The first day focused on scientific and clinical aspects of misoprostol use. The second day’s discussion centered on the future of misoprostol for women’s health, including identifying priorities for research and the role of provider groups and women’s health and advocacy organizations in helping to ensure misoprostol’s continued, appropriate use. At the end of each session, the group had an opportunity to share ideas and discuss unanswered questions. This report covers the key issues raised by each speaker and highlights general areas of discussion among participants.

Full textAbstract:
The summative external evaluation report described the program's impact on faculty and students participating in recitation sessions and active teaching professional development sessions over two years. Student persistence and retention in engineering courses continue to be a challenge in undergraduate education, especially for students underrepresented in engineering disciplines. The program's goal was to use peer-facilitated instruction in core engineering courses known to have high attrition rates to retain underrepresented students, especially women, in engineering to diversify and broaden engineering participation. Knowledge generated around using peer-facilitated instruction at two-year colleges can improve underrepresented students' success and participation in engineering across a broad range of institutions. Students in the program participated in peer-facilitated recitation sessions linked to fundamental engineering courses, such as engineering analysis, statics, and dynamics. These courses have the highest failure rate among women and underrepresented minority students. As a mixed-methods evaluation study, student engagement was measured as students' comfort with asking questions, collaboration with peers, and applying mathematics concepts. SPSS was used to analyze pre-and post-surveys for statistical significance. Qualitative data were collected through classroom observations and focus group sessions with recitation leaders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with faculty members and students to understand their experiences in the program. Findings revealed that women students had marginalization and intimidation perceptions primarily from courses with significantly more men than women. However, they shared numerous strategies that could support them towards success through the engineering pathway. Women and underrepresented students perceived that they did not have a network of peers and faculty as role models to identify within engineering disciplines. The recitation sessions had a positive social impact on Hispanic women. As opportunities to collaborate increased, Hispanic womens' social engagement was expected to increase. This social engagement level has already been predicted to increase women students' persistence and retention in engineering and result in them not leaving the engineering pathway. An analysis of quantitative survey data from students in the three engineering courses revealed a significant effect of race and ethnicity for comfort in asking questions in class, collaborating with peers outside the classroom, and applying mathematical concepts. Further examination of this effect for comfort with asking questions in class revealed that comfort asking questions was driven by one or two extreme post-test scores of Asian students. A follow-up ANOVA for this item revealed that Asian women reported feeling excluded in the classroom. However, it was difficult to determine whether these differences are stable given the small sample size for students identifying as Asian. Furthermore, gender differences were significant for comfort in communicating with professors and peers. Overall, women reported less comfort communicating with their professors than men. Results from student metrics will inform faculty professional development efforts to increase faculty support and maximize student engagement, persistence, and retention in engineering courses at community colleges. Summative results from this project could inform the national STEM community about recitation support to further improve undergraduate engineering learning and educational research.

Full textAbstract:
Many students struggle with mathematics in late elementary school, particularly on the topic of fractions. In a best evidence syntheses of research on increasing achievement in elementary school mathematics, Pelligrini et al. (2018) highlighted tutoring as a way to help students. Online tutoring is attractive because costs may be lower and logistics easier than with face-to-face tutoring. Cignition developed an approach that combines online 1:1 tutoring with a fractions game, called FogStone Isle. The game provides students with additional learning opportunities and provides tutors with information that they can use to plan tutoring sessions. A randomized controlled trial investigated the research question: Do students who participate in online tutoring and a related mathematical game learn more about fractions than students who only have access to the game? Participants were 144 students from four schools, all serving low-income students with low prior mathematics achievement. In the Treatment condition, students received 20-25 minute tutoring sessions twice per week for an average of 18 sessions and also played the FogStone Isle game. In the Control condition, students had access to the game, but did not play it often. Control students did not receive tutoring. Students were randomly assigned to condition after being matched on pre-test scores. The same diagnostic assessment was used as a pre-test and as a post-test. The planned analysis looked for differences in gain scores ( post-test minus pre-test scores) between conditions. We conducted a t-test on the aggregate gain scores, comparing conditions; the results were statistically significant (t = 4.0545, df = 132.66, p-value < .001). To determine an effect size, we treated each site as a study in a meta-analysis. Using gain scores, the effect size was g=+.66. A more sophisticated treatment of the pooled standard deviation resulted in a corrected effect size of g=.46 with a 95% confidence interval of [+.23,+.70]. Students who received online tutoring and played the related Fog Stone Isle game learned more; our research found the approach to be efficacious. The Pelligrini et al. (2018) meta-analysis of elementary math tutoring programs found g = .26 and was based largely on face-to-face tutoring studies. Thus, this study compares favorably to prior research on face-to-face mathematics tutoring with elementary students. Limitations are discussed; in particular, this is an initial study of an intervention under development. Effects could increase or decrease as development continues and the program scales. Although this study was planned long before the current pandemic, results are particularly timely now that many students are at home under shelter-in-place orders due to COVID-19. The approach taken here is feasible for students at home, with tutors supporting them from a distance. It is also feasible in many other situations where equity could be addressed directly by supporting students via online tutors.

Abstract: Multiple studies have found that psychiatric disorders, like mood disorders and substance use disorders, are highly comorbid among adults with either disorder. Integrated treatment refers to the treatment of two or more conditions and the use of multiple therapies such as the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Integrated therapy for comorbidity per numerous studies has consistently been superior to the treatment of individual disorders separately. The purpose of this QI project was to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) instead of current treatment as usual for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health diagnosis independently. It is a retrospective chart review. The review examines CBT's efficacy for engaging individuals with co-occurring mood and substance u se disorders in treatment by enhancing adherence and preventing disengagement and relapse. Methods: Forty adults aged 26-55 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of a mood disorder of Major Depressive Disorder and/or anxiety and concurrent substance use disorder (at least weekly use in the past month). Participants received 12 sessions of individual integrated CBT treatment delivered with case management over a 12-week period. Results: The intervention was associated with significant improvements in mood disorder, substance use, and coping skills at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions: These results provide some evidence for the effectiveness of the integrated CBT intervention in individuals with co-occurring disorders. Of note, all psychotherapies are efficacious; however, it would be more advantageous to develop a standardized CBT that identifies variables that facilitate treatment outcomes specifically to comorbid disorders of substance use and mood disorders. It is concluded that there is potentially more to be gained from further studies using randomized controlled designs to determine its efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
Digital Promise and Langer Research Associates developed the “Survey of Student Perceptions of Remote Teaching and Learning” to capture the experiences of undergraduates taking courses that transitioned to online instruction in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey explores the nature of college courses as they were taught during the COVID-19 outbreak, the pervasiveness of various challenges undergraduates faced after the transition to remote instruction, and course features associated with higher levels of student satisfaction. Data analyses compared experiences of students from low-income, underrepresented, or rural backgrounds to those of students with none of these characteristics. This survey was administered in the spring of 2020 to a random national sample of 1,008 undergraduates, age 18 and older, who were taking college courses for credit that included in-person class sessions when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and had to finish the course by learning at a distance.

Full textAbstract:
In 2018, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center partnered with the US Army Corps of Engineers–Buffalo District, the US Environmental Protection Agency, Bowling Green State University, and the Cawthron Institute to host a workshop focused on benthic and sediment-associated cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, particularly in the context of harmful algal blooms (HAB). Technical sessions on the ecology of benthic cyanobacteria in lakes and rivers; monitoring of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins; detection of benthic and sediment-bound cyanotoxins; and the fate, transport, and health risks of cyanobacteria and their associated toxins were presented. Research summaries included the buoyancy and dispersal of benthic freshwater cyanobacteria mats, the fate and quantification of cyanotoxins in lake sediments, and spatial and temporal variation of toxins in streams. In addition, summaries of remote sensing methods, omic techniques, and field sampling techniques were presented. Critical research gaps identified from this workshop include (1) ecology of benthic cyanobacteria, (2) identity, fate, transport, and risk of cyanotoxins produced by benthic cyanobacteria, (3) standardized sampling and analysis protocols, and (4) increased technical cooperation between government, academia, industry, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders. Conclusions from this workshop can inform monitoring and management efforts for benthic cyanobacteria and their associated toxins.

Ayala, David, Ashley Graves, Colton Lauer, et al. Flooding Events Post Hurricane Harvey: Potential Liability for Dam and Reservoir Operators and Recommendations Moving Forward. Edited by Gabriel Eckstein. Texas A&M University School of Law Program in Natural Resources Systems, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.37419/eenrs.floodingpostharvey.
Full textAbstract:
When Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas coast as a category 4 hurricane on August 25, 2017, it resulted in $125 billion in damage, rivaling only Hurricane Katrina in the amount of damage caused. It also resulted in the deaths of 88 people and destroyed or damaged 135,000 homes. Much of that devastation was the result of flooding. The storm dumped over 27 trillion gallons of rain over Texas in a matter of days. Some parts of Houston received over 50 inches of rainfall. The potential liability that dam and reservoir operators may face for decisions they make during storm and flooding events has now become a major concern for Texas citizens and its elected officials. Law suits have now been instituted against the federal government for its operation of two flood control reservoirs, as well as against the San Jacinto River Authority for its operation of a water supply reservoir. Moreover, the issues and concerns have been placed on the agenda of a number of committees preparing for the 2019 Texas legislative session. This report reviews current dam and reservoir operations in Texas and examines the potential liability that such operators may face for actions and decisions taken in response to storm and flooding events. In Section III, the report reviews dam gate operations and differentiates between water supply reservoirs and flood control reservoirs. It also considers pre-release options and explains why such actions are disfavored and not recommended. In Section IV, the report evaluates liabilities and defenses applicable to dam and reservoir operators. It explains how governmental immunity can limit the exposure of state and federally-run facilities to claims seeking monetary damages. It also discusses how such entities could be subject to claims of inverse condemnation, which generally are not subject to governmental immunity, under Texas law as well as under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In addition, the Section discusses negligence and nuisance claims and concludes that plaintiffs asserting either or both of these claims will have difficulty presenting successful arguments for flooding-related damage and harm against operators who act reasonably in the face of storm-related precipitation. Finally, Section V offers recommendations that dam and reservoir operators might pursue in order to engage and educate the public and thereby reduce the potential for disputes and litigation. Specifically, the report highlights the need for expanded community outreach efforts to engage with municipalities, private land owners, and the business community in flood-prone neighborhoods both below and above a dam. It also recommends implementation of proactive flood notification procedures as a way of reaching and alerting as many people as possible of potential and imminent flooding events. Finally, the report proposes implementation of a dispute prevention and minimization mechanism and offers recommendations for the design and execution of such a program.

Full textAbstract:
This report describes an online course developed to support education systems to build an aligned and sustainable approach to integration of 21st Century Skills (21CS). 21CS are those skills that are considered particularly important to succeed in today’s knowledge-based society in which innovation and technology are predominant. Prominent examples include critical thinking, creative thinking, and collaboration, and such skills need to be better understood in order for them to be integrated. While different countries may have their own frameworks or priorities surrounding 21CS, a consistent approach to integration can still be achieved with a shared understanding from all stakeholders within the system. The course objectives focused on supporting countries to develop a strategic plan for 21CS integration, providing resources to aid that plan, and building capacity to implement the plan. The specific learning objectives were to: Understand components and steps leading to 21CS alignment; Conduct a needs analysis, identifying which steps are currently being met, and which steps need more attention; Develop a strategic plan, identifying which steps are to be prioritized and in which order; Gain insights from other education systems from reflections on successful developments and lessons learned; and Engage in discussion within education systems and with other countries about the emerging area of skills integration, as well as identify future directions. Course participants joined from across 16 Asia Pacific countries and from the Education Quality and Assessment Programme for the Pacific Community (EQAP). The course comprised of eight modules that were spread over three weeks, with content hosted online through the Moodle platform.Each module consisted of pre-recorded video content (30-60 minutes) and team and/or individual activities. The modules were supported by three live sessions that allowed participants to ask questions and share reflections in real time. The course concluded with a webinar that consisted of presentations that were delivered by one member from each Core Strategy Team who shared their team’s strategic plan and reflections from this course.
