Abstract

ABSTRACT Optical coherence tomography is often used for detection of glaucoma as well as to monitor progression. This paper reviews the most common types of artifacts on the optical coherence tomography report that may be confused with glaucomatous damage. We mainly focus on anatomy-related artifacts in which the retinal layer segmentation and thickness measurements are correct. In such cases, the probability maps (also known as deviation maps) show abnormal (red and yellow) regions, which may mislead the clinician to assume disease is present. This is due to the anatomic variability of the individual, and the normative database must be taken into account.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare differences in heart rate (HR) response during and following exercise in obese older women with different percent body fat levels. Ninety older, obese women aged 60-87 years participated in the study, were categorized, and enrolled to one of two groups based on a lower percent body fat (LPBF ≤ 41.10 %) or higher percent body fat (HPBF > 41.10 %) as measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The peak HR during exercise and in the first and second minutes of recovery period were compared between groups. The HPBF group presented a lower peak HR during exercise (p = 0.001) and an impaired HR recovery (p = 0.001) when compared to LPBF group. The present study demonstrated that older women who were in exceedingly obese level have an impaired heart rate response during exercise and in the recovery period, indicating possible autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract

American public schools are among the safest places for both children and adults (see for example, Verdugo 2000a). Data from the U.S. Department of Education's annual survey of school crime and violence point out as much (Devoe et al. 2002). Between 1992 and 2000, for example, non- fatal crimes in schools declined from 3.4 million to 1.9 million, or a decline of 43 percent. In addition, the percentage of students ages 12-18 who reported being a victim at school declined by four percentage points between 1995 and 2000. There is no denying that schools are safe.

5. Preservice teachers’ adaptations to tensions associated with the edTPA during its early implementation in New York and Washington states

Abstract

The edTPA is a teaching performance assessment (TPA) that the states of New York and Washington implemented as a licensure requirement in 2013. While TPAs are not new modes of assessment, New York and Washington are the first states to use the edTPA specifically as a compulsory, high-stakes policy lever in an effort to strengthen the quality and accountability of teachers and teacher educators. This study examines 24 New York and Washington teaching candidates’ experiences with the edTPA during its first year of consequential use for state certification. The data, drawn from qualitative interviews that were part of a larger mixed-methods study, reveal that preservice teachers had to mediate several tensions associated with the edTPA’s dual role as a formative assessment tool and a licensure mechanism. In this paper, we identify those tensions, describe candidates’ efforts to mediate them, and discuss the extent to which that mediation process may or may not contribute to the improvement of teachers’ practices. Given the edTPA’s positioning in a policy context – specifically, the potential for the assessment’s locus of control, high stakes, and opaque rating process to distort the procedures it is intended to measure – the paper concludes with recommendations for teacher education programs aimed at capitalizing on the edTPA’s benefits and mitigating its unproductive tensions.

Abstract

This study presents an empirically-based statewide system that links information about pre-kindergarten programs with children’s school readiness scores to certify pre-kindergarten classrooms as promoting school readiness. Over 8,000 children from 1,255 pre-kindergarten classrooms were followed longitudinally for one year. Pre-kindergarten quality indicators of intentional instruction, an early literacy focus, and professional development were key predictors of kindergarten outcomes. A latent profile analysis identified pre-kindergarten classrooms that were high on pre-kindergarten quality indicators and high on kindergarten outcomes (67.3%), low on pre-kindergarten quality and kindergarten outcomes (21.3%), or low on quality but high on outcomes (11.4%). The last group of classrooms was likely to serve middle-class children and not use the state program model. This project demonstrates how a scientific approach can inform stakeholders and parents about the effectiveness of early childhood programs.

16. Conectado pelas Ideias : Como o Cérebro está Moldando o Futuro da Internet

Author

Jeffrey M. Stibel and Jeffrey M. Stibel

Abstract

UMA TEORIA OUSADA SOBRE O FUTURO DA INTERNET E O SEU SIGNIFICADO PARA OS NEGÓCIOS. Se você quer ter sucesso trabalhando com a internet, não adianta ficar tentando compreender o funcionamento dos fenômenos mais recentes da Web. É preciso compreender como a mente funciona. Segundo Jeffrey Stibel, a Internet está caminhando para se equiparar ao cérebro. Os sites, comunidades, redes e empresas que alavancarem este insight terão o mundo aos seus pés. Como cientista do cérebro e empreendedor em série, Stibel construiu uma carreira notável, convertendo seu conhecimento de neurociência em empreendimentos de sucesso na Internet. Em Conectado pelas Ideias, ele conduz os leitores por uma viagem ao mundo dos'caçadores de neurônios'que estão empregando seu conhecimento dos poderes da Internet, equivalentes aos do cérebro, para criar negócios on-line. Como Stibel enxerga os sites como as'redes neurais'da Internet, ele descreve como as ideias nascem, morrem e se espalham como material genético na Web, rapidamente transformando a Internet de um mero repositório de informações em uma'máquina de previsão'capaz de reconhecer padrões e intuir significados. Através de exemplos intrigantes do Google, do MySpace, do The Search Agency, entre outros,'Conectado pelas Ideias'mostra como esta evolução se dá. O livro também oferece conselhos práticos e previsões convincentes para inovadores, incluindo: - Como as redes on-line se desenvolvem e como gerenciar cada estágio, - Que tipo de perigo iminente ameaça sites de redes sociais como o Facebook e o Twitter, - Por que o crescimento da Internet não é eterno – e o que ocorrerá quando for atingido o ponto máximo, - Como os avanços na inteligência artificial afetarão os negócios e os consumidores, - Por que estamos tão próximos de conseguir criar uma Internet'inteligente'– e o que ela será capaz de fazer.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of exercise order on one-repetition maximum (1-RM) and ten-repetition maximum (10-RM) strength gains after 6 weeks of resistance training (RT) in trained men. Sixteen men were randomly assigned into two groups based on the order of exercises performed during training sessions: a group that performed large muscle group exercises first and progressed to small muscle group exercises (LG-SM); while a second group performed the opposite sequence and started with small muscle group exercises and progressed to large muscle group exercises (SM-LG). Four sessions of RT were conducted per week; all exercises were performed for three sets of 8–12 repetitions with 1-min rest intervals between sets. Maximal and submaximal strength were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of RT with 1-RM and 10-RM testing for the bench press (BP), lat pulldown (LPD), triceps pulley extension (TE) and biceps curl (BC), respectively. Two-way ANOVA for the 1-RM and 10- RM tests indicated a significant group x time interaction. The 1-RM values significantly increased for all exercises in both groups (P

Abstract

I provide an overviewof inverse probability weighted (IPW)M-estimators for cross section and two-period panel data applications. Under an ignorability assumption, I show that population parameters are identified,and provide straightforward √ N-consistent and asymptotically normal estimation methods. I show that estimating a binary response selection model by conditional maximum likelihood leads to a more efficient estimator than using known probabilities,a result that unifies several disparate results in the literature. But IPW estimation is not a panacea: in some important cases of nonresponse,unweighted estimators will be consistent under weaker ignorability assumptions. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Abstract

Food fraud can cause damage to consumer health and affect their confidence, destroy brands and generate large economic losses in the industry. Food authenticity allows to identify if food composition, geographical origin, genetic variety and farming system corresponds to what has been declared on the label. Although there are currently standardized methods to identify certain adulterants, the complexity of the food, the complexity of the supply chain and the appearance of new adulterants require the continuous development of analytical techniques to detect food fraud. NIR and Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in tandem with chemometrics are non-destructive, non-invasive and accurate techniques for food authentication. This review focuses on NIR and HIS approaches to food authentication, including adulteration by substitution, geographical origin and farming system. In this context, the advances in NIR and HSI approaches reported since 2014 are discussed regarding their potential use in food authentication. Both techniques have shown to have efficiency, precision and selectivity to detect adulterants and identify geographic origin, genetic variety and farming system. Portability and remote access are shown as the next step for the industrialization of NIR and HSI devices.

Abstract

Though the development of wisdom is a primary goal of higher education, it has received little empirical attention in an entrepreneurship education (EE) context. We conduct a preliminary, exploratory investigation into the teaching of wisdom in EE. Applying Sternberg’s (1998) balance theory of wisdom, we examine whether entrepreneurship courses deliver on the potential of wisdom development by studying the syllabi of 50 university entrepreneurship courses from around the world. We also examine the contents of the major entrepreneurship textbooks used in EE classrooms today. We find that both textbook use and course design are negatively related to the development of wisdom in the classroom. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior A Hipótese da Higiene postula que a estimulação do sistema imune por uma infecção parasitária protege o hospedeiro do desenvolvimento de desordens atópicas e inflamatórias. Nos últimos anos tem-se estudado a influência de parasitos em doenças imunometabólicas, como obesidade. Isto porque o benefício da infecção advém da capacidade de modular o sistema imune o que garante não só a permanência do parasito como também diminui respostas inflamatórias no hospedeiro. O presente estudo objetivou investigar a influência da infecção por Heligmosomoides polygyrus, um helminto de roedores, nos estágios iniciais do desenvolvimento de obesidade e das suas consequências metabólicas. Camundongos C57BL/6 machos, livres de patógenos específicos, foram submetidos à dieta controle ou indutora de obesidade, por cinco semanas, na presença ou não de infecção. Foram analisados: ganho de peso, ingestão calórica, desenvolvimento de alterações metabólicas, inflamação e perfil de células inflamatórias no tecido adiposo. Apesar de não haver diferença na ingestão calórica entre os animais submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica, a presença da infecção foi capaz de prevenir o ganho exacerbado de peso. Este efeito não ocorre devido a espoliação do parasito já que não houve diferença de peso entre os grupos infectado e não infectado que receberam dieta controle. Além disso, a infecção foi capaz de melhorar a resposta à insulina, o acúmulo de gordura no fígado, o nível de triglicerídeos e colesterol HDL. Observamos aumento de parâmetros reguladores da inflamação, associada à obesidade, como IL10, adiponectina, e células Th2 e Tregs, bem como diminuição de Th1 e Th17. Estes efeitos estiveram associados à capacidade da infecção de modular o fenótipo das células Tregs induzindo a expressão de marcadores relacionados a produção de TGF-ß (LAP) e também a ativação celular (Ox40), além de proteger a perda de funcionalidade das Tregs, induzida pela dieta hiperlipídica. The Hygiene Hypothesis postulates that the immune system stimulation by parasitic infection can protect the host from developing atopic and inflammatory disorders. In the past few years the parasite influence in the development of immunometabolic diseases, such as obesity, has been a topic of interest within the scientific community. The beneficial effect of the infection occurs due to its capacity to modulate the immune system that enables the survival of the parasite in the host, but also modulates inflammatory responses. The present study aimed to verify the influence of the infection by Heligmosomoides polygyrus, a murine parasite, in early stages of obesity development and its metabolic consequences. C57BL/6 male mice, specific pathogen free, were fed control or high fat diet, for five weeks, in the presence or not of helminth infection. Weight gain, caloric intake, development of metabolic disorders, inflammation and cellular migration to the adipose tissue were evaluated. Even though no changes were observed in the caloric intake between animals fed with high fat diet, the presence of infection was able to prevent the exacerbated weight gain. This effect did not occur because of host spoliation by the parasite since there was no difference between groups infected and non-infected that received control diet. Also, the infection improved the response to insulin, fat accumulation in the liver and serum levels of triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. We could observe increase in regulatory mechanisms against obesity-associated inflammation like IL10, adiponectin, Th2 and Tregs cells, and a reduction in Th1 and Th17 infiltration in adipose tissue. These effects seemed to be associated with the ability of the infection to modulate Tregs numbers and phenotype, promoting the expression of cell surface markers associated with TGF- ß production (LAP), and cell activation (Ox40), and also by protecting the loss of function by these cells, induced by the high fat diet.

Abstract

Os Tachydromiinae são moscas cosmopolitas, pequenas a diminutas, exclusivamente predadoras e congregam aproximadamente 1200 espécies. A proliferação de gêneros monotípicos durante os últimos anos, assim como a ausência de uma hipótese formal de relacionamento cladístico entre os gêneros fomentaram o desenvolvimento deste estudo, que visou à ampliação do conhecimento sobre as relações cladísticas entre os gêneros de Tachydromiinae baseado em amostragem mundial de exemplares utilizando-se de caracteres morfológicos dos adultos; consequentemente, objetivou-se testar o monofiletismo das tribos em vigência assim como dos gêneros atualmente aceitos, propor uma classificação genérica logicamente consistente com o padrão dicotômico da análise cladística, e fornecer uma chave dicotômica para a identificação dos gêneros com enfoque mundial como auxílio na prevenção contra a proliferação genérica desnecessária. Foram utilizados 71 caracteres morfológicos dos machos e fêmeas, externos, peças bucais internas, terminálias masculina e feminina, e os exemplares foram selecionados de forma a representar as polimorfias existentes no grupo. A análise cladística de parcimônia utilizando pesagem implícita (4≥k≥ 8) retornou 63 cladogramas mais parcimoniosos e corroborou a classificação tribal em vigência no grupo, sendo Tachydromiini grupo-irmão de Drapetini. Em Tachydromiini foram obtidas as seguintes relações de parentesco: Platypalpus + Platypalpus arnaudi + (Afrotachyempis gen. nov. + (Dysaletria + (Tachypeza + (Tachyempis + Tachydromia)))). Não foi possível corroborar o monofiletismo de Platypalpus envolvendo as antigas espécies de Charadrodromia, e os demais gêneros de Tachydromiini foram agrupados em um clado irmão à maior parte dos Platypalpus, onde Ariasella e Pieltainia foram sinonimizados em Tachydromia e foi criado Afrotachyempis gen. nov. para as espécies afrotemperadas de Tachyempis. Em Drapetini, foram obtidas as seguintes relações cladística: Chaetodromia + (Austrodromia collini + Austrodromia indifferens + (Megagrapha + ((Atodrapetis + Isodrapetis) + (clado Elaphropeza+ + clado Chersodromia+)))), onde Austrodromia foi obtido parafilético em relação à Megagrapha e teve parte de suas espécies transferidas para este gênero. Além dos gêneros mais plesiomórficos (Chaetodromia, Austrodromia, Megagrapha e Isodrapetis), os Drapetini foram divididos em outros dois clados, estes monofiléticos: o clado Elaphropeza+ (Elaphropeza + (Heliopeza gen. nov. + (Crossopalpus + Drapetis))), com Elaphropeza dividido em dois gêneros, sendo Heliopeza gen. nov. correspondente ao grupo E. (biuncinata), e o clado Chersodromia+ (Chersodromia longicornis + (Chersodromia arenaria + Chersodromia beckeri + Chersodromia cana + Chersodromia galapagensis + Chersodromia hirta + Chersodromia incana + (Chersodromia afrosylvatica + (Micrempis + ((Nanodromia + Alodromia) + (Austrodrapetis + (Baeodromia + Stilpon))))))). As espécies de Chersodromia estão envolvidas em uma politomia e o monofiletismo do gênero não foi suportado. Ngaheremyia, Pontodromia e Chersodromia zelandica foram congregados à Austrodrapetis mediante a origem apical do setor Radial, corroborando algumas sugestões em literatura. Neste novo conceito, a subfamília é sumarizada em 23 gêneros monofiléticos mais Platypalpus, Austrodromia e Chersodromia. Tachydromiinae are cosmopolitan, small to minute, exclusively predator flies and comprise about 1200 species. The rapid increasing of monotypical genera during the last years, as well as the absence of a formal cladistic relationship hypothesis among the genera encouraged this study, that aimed to increse the knowledge about the cladistic relationship among the genera of Tachydromiinae based on a worldwide survey of exemplars, using morphological characters of adults; consequently, this study aimed to test the generic monophyly, propose a generic arrangement logically consistent with the dicotomic pattern of the cladistic analysis, and provide an identification key to the genera with worldwide approach as a preventive action against the desnecessary generic inflation. The analysis covered 71 morphological characters from males and females, external and internal mouthparts, male and female terminalia, and the exemplars were selected to represent the polymorphies of the group. The parsimony cladistic analysis using implied weighting (4 ≥ k ≥ 8) returned 63 most parsimonious cladograms and supported the actual tribe classification, with Tachydromiini sister group of Drapetini. In Tachydromiinae was obtained the following relationship: Platypalpus + Platypalpus arnaudi + (Afrotachyempis gen. nov. + (Dysaletria + (Tachypeza + (Tachyempis + Tachydromia)))). We could not corroborate the monophyly of Platypalpus including the species formerly in Charadrodromia, and the further genera of Tachydromiini were grouped in a clade sister to the major part of Platypalpus, where Ariasella and Pieltainia were synonymized in Tachydromia, as well as created Afrotachyempis gen. nov. for the Afrotemperate species of Tachyempis. In Drapetini, we obtained the following cladistic relationships: Chaetodromia + (Austrodromia collini + Austrodromia indifferens + (Megagrapha + ((Atodrapetis + Isodrapetis) + (clado Elaphropeza+ + clado Chersodromia+)))), where Austrodromia was found paraphyletic to Megagrapha and had part of its species transferred to this genus. Besides the more plesiomorphic genera (Chaetodromia, Austrodromia, Megagrapha e Isodrapetis), Drapetini was divided into two monophyletic clades: the clade Elaphropeza+ (Elaphropeza + (Heliopeza gen. nov. + (Crossopalpus + Drapetis))), with Elaphropeza divided into two genera, being Heliopeza gen. nov. corresponding to E. (biuncinata) group, and the clade Chersodromia+ (Chersodromia longicornis + (Chersodromia arenaria + Chersodromia beckeri + Chersodromia cana + Chersodromia galapagensis + Chersodromia hirta + Chersodromia incana + (Chersodromia afrosylvatica + (Micrempis + ((Nanodromia + Alodromia) + (Austrodrapetis + (Baeodromia + Stilpon))))))). The species of Chersodromia are involved in a polytomy and the monophyletism of the genus was not supported. Ngaheremyia, Pontodromia and Chersodromia zelandica were grouped into Austrodrapetis due to the apical origino f Radial sector, corroborating some suggestions in literature. In this new concept, the subfamily is summarized in 23 monophyletic genera plus Platypalpus, Austrodromia and Chersodromia. foram congregados à Austrodrapetis mediante a origem apical do setor Radial, corroborando algumas sugestões em literatura. Neste novo conceito, a subfamília é sumarizada em 23 gêneros monofiléticos mais Platypalpus, Austrodromia e Chersodromia.
