CORRECTING SHERRINGTON’S GAIT DYSFUNCTION WITH AN OFF THE SHELF KNEE ORTHOTIC
No full textThis professional opinion describes the use of an off the shelf knee orthotic to correct the gait and functional mobility of a patient with hemisensory loss including proprioception following a stroke and provides supporting video. Interestingly, this case corrects a human analogue of a functional deficit found experimentally in monkeys in the 19th century by Mott and Sherrington.

The Horatio Ellsworth Kellar Distinguished Visitors Lecture: Glenn Altschuler
No full textMarch 23, 2016 The McMartin Pre-School trial occurred in the midst of a media-fed frenzy about the pervasiveness of sexual abuse of children in the United States. One of the longest-running cases in American history, McMartin involved about 400 accusers and the use of controversial techniques to enhance the ability of children to recall repressed memories. It stimulated a re-examination of the reliability of the concept of repressed memory and of the rules regarding the testimony and cross-examination of children in sex abuse cases.

Forty percent of the Fortune 500 from the year 2000 were absent from the Fortune 500 in the year 2015, precisely because they failed to evolve. Today’s sales environment is very much a “keep up or get left behind” paradigm, but you need to do better to excel. Hacking Sales shows you how to get ahead of everyone else with focused effort and the most effective approach to modern sales
Una ruta proyectada entre mieles y devenires : reproducción ampliada y ambientes para la vida en una experiencia turística cooperativa
No full textEste es un estudio empírico de carácter etnográfico, que busca articular desde una experiencia algunas categorías de la economía, el turismo y el ambiente, y pretende constituirse como un aporte antropológico a los procesos de diseño de proyectos turísticos de la economía social y solidaria.
Se propone de manera general, comprender y analizar las características de las prácticas socio económicas asociadas a los servicios turísticos que llevan adelante algunos productores apícolas participantes de la Ruta de la Miel del Delta, la mayoría de ellos organizados en cooperativas, en Escobar, Campana, Zárate y San Pedro (Buenos Aires). Además, se propone registrar de manera crítica cómo se ha dado la asociación entre ellos y con actores sociales y políticos de distintos niveles para llevarla a cabo. El análisis abarca desde el 2014 hasta el 2019, tanto la instancia de su creación como la
implementación exploratoria inicial del proyecto, aún inacabada, es decir, la totalidad de su proceso de diseño, entendiéndolo como estrategia de reproducción ampliada y como ambiente de la vida que los apicultores sueñan y construyen

A Pilot Study of a Tailored Community Volunteer Intervention for Isolated Older Individuals
No full textBackground/Aims: Socially isolated older individuals show greatly diminished quality of life, poorer outcomes with chronic medical conditions, greater and accelerated cognitive decline and a higher incidence of depression. Social isolation is also one of the strongest known predictors of mortality, with risks equivalent to or greater than well-known risk factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and obesity. Observational evidence suggests community volunteer work could help reduce these negative consequences, but a large-scale intervention study of volunteer work tailored to the interests and values of each individual has not been conducted to date and the feasibility of conducting such a trial has never been assessed.
Methods: We conducted a small, prospective, single-cohort pilot study of community volunteer work tailored to each participant’s interests in order to test its feasibility for use in a fully powered clinical trial. Eligible patients were \u3e 60 years old and scored \u3e 40 on the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3). Participants were interviewed at baseline, and several relevant volunteer opportunities were identified (using volunteermatch.com and local resources) from which participants selected the most appealing opportunities. Study staff handled all arrangements for initiating the participant’s volunteer work, and participants were asked to volunteer at least 4 hours per week. Participants were assessed after 2 and 4 months for social isolation, mood, self-esteem, quality of life and positive states of mind.
Results: Of 12 patients who enrolled in the study, 8 participated in the volunteer intervention. All participants had positive experiences, and almost all continued working in their volunteer positions after study closeout. Significant within-person improvements were identified in UCLA Loneliness (-5.1, P \u3c 0.03) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (+3.4, P \u3c 0.01) at 4 months; nonsignificant improvements were observed in all other measures. Qualitative data revealed universally positive experiences, with some participants expressing profoundly beneficial changes in quality of life.
Conclusion: A community volunteer intervention, tailored to each individual’s interests and values, was found to be feasible for testing in a future clinical trial, and the intervention appears promising. Several important lessons were learned; recruitment and other challenges were noted, and methods for addressing these difficulties were identified

Modelling the hidden magnetic field of low-mass stars
No full textPL acknowledges support from a Science and Technology Facilities Council studentship. JM, AAV and RF acknowledge support from fellowships of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation, the Royal Astronomical Society and Science and Technology Facilities Council, respectively.Zeeman-Doppler imaging is a spectropolarimetric technique that is used to map the large-scale surface magnetic fields of stars. These maps in turn are used to study the structure of the stars' coronae and winds. This method, however, misses any small-scale magnetic flux whose polarization signatures cancel out. Measurements of Zeeman broadening show that a large percentage of the surface magnetic flux may be neglected in this way. In this paper we assess the impact of this 'missing flux' on the predicted coronal structure and the possible rates of spin-down due to the stellar wind. To do this we create a model for the small-scale field and add this to the Zeeman-Doppler maps of the magnetic fields of a sample of 12 M dwarfs. We extrapolate this combined field and determine the structure of a hydrostatic, isothermal corona. The addition of small-scale surface field produces a carpet of low-lying magnetic loops that covers most of the surface, including the stellar equivalent of solar 'coronal holes' where the large-scale field is opened up by the stellar wind and hence would be X-ray dark. We show that the trend of the X-ray emission measure with rotation rate (the so-called 'activity-rotation relation') is unaffected by the addition of small-scale field, when scaled with respect to the large-scale field of each star. The addition of small-scale field increases the surface flux; however, the large-scale open flux that governs the loss of mass and angular momentum in the wind remains unaffected. We conclude that spin-down times and mass-loss rates calculated from surface magnetograms are unlikely to be significantly influenced by the neglect of small-scale field.Peer reviewe
