On the typical and atypical development of face processing and recognition during the first three months of life and in a population of school-aged children born prematurely
No full textFace stimuli challenge the infant's immature visual processing system's capacity to differentiate stimuli that differ in subtle ways. Experiments I to 4 investigated infants' preference for the human face between birth and 3 months of age when contrasted with four control stimuli. A visual preference technique was used because it does not call upon the participant's ability to speak. A spontaneous preference for a photographic representation of the human face was observed at birth for three out of four conditions. At 3 months of age, a preference for the human face was observed in two conditions. However, at I month of age, no preferences were observed. Findings did not support the view that the selectivity of the infant's responses to faces increases with exposure to faces and narrowing of the perceptual window (Nelson, 2001). Experiment 5 examined infants' ability to discriminate specific exemplars of the human face category, namely the mother's face, between I and 9 months of age. A preference for the mother's face was observed at I month. A tendency to prefer the stranger's face was observed at 3 months. No preference was observed at 6 and 9 months, thus suggesting that the visual preference procedure is not suitable for measuring recognition at these ages. Premature birth is associated with brain injury, which can lead to visual and intellectual deficits. Experiment 6 investigated general intelligence as well as face processing in school-aged children born prematurely and at term. Results indicated that premature children displayed levels within the normal range of intelligence. Furthermore, no long-term visual deficits were observed as performance levels for the discrimination of facial emotions were comparable between groups. Only premature children displayed an inversion effect, thereby demonstrating an adult-like face processing system
Surveillance of adenoviruses and noroviruses in European recreational waters
No full textExposure to human pathogenic viruses in recreational waters has been shown to cause disease outbreaks. In the context of Article 14 of the revised European Bathing Waters Directive 2006/7/EC (rBWD, CEU, 2006) a Europe-wide surveillance study was carried out to determine the frequency of occurrence of two human enteric viruses in recreational waters. Adenoviruses were selected based on their near-universal shedding and environmental survival, and noroviruses (NoV) selected as being the most prevalent gastroenteritis agent worldwide. Concentration of marine and freshwater samples was done by adsorption/elution followed by molecular detection by (RT)-PCR. Out of 1410 samples, 553 (39.2%) were positive for one or more of the target viruses. Adenoviruses, detected in 36.4% of samples, were more prevalent than noroviruses (9.4%), with 3.5% GI and 6.2% GII, some samples being positive for both GI and GII. Of 513 human adenovirus-positive samples, 63 (12.3%) were also norovirus-positive, whereas 69 (7.7%) norovirus-positive samples were adenovirus-negative. More freshwater samples than marine water samples were virus-positive. Out of a small selection of samples tested for adenovirus infectivity, approximately one-quarter were positive. Sixty percent of 132 nested-PCR adenovirus-positive samples analysed by quantitative PCR gave a mean value of over 3000 genome copies per L of water. The simultaneous detection of infectious adenovirus and of adenovirus and NoV by (RT)PCR suggests that the presence of infectious viruses in recreational waters may constitute a public health risk upon exposure. These studies support the case for considering adenoviruses as an indicator of bathing water quality
Proposta de uma modelagem de referência para representar sistemas complexos
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Esta tese propõe uma modelagem de referência para representar sistemas complexos, com base no referencial teórico das Ciências da Complexidade. Inicialmente, faz-se uma revisão de literatura sobre o termo complexidade, os sistemas, a evolução e a modelagem dos sistemas complexos. Com base na literatura pesquisada, é proposta a modelagem referencial, na qual a partir da identificação do nível de complexidade do sistema, localiza-o numa escala espaço-temporal, construindo-se uma arquitetura para o sistema, e finalmente, define-se a dinâmica de seu funcionamento. A modelagem baseia-se no pressuposto que as partes e o todo de um sistema se conectam e interagem continuamente. Dessa dinâmica, emergem características não possuídas pelas partes isoladas. Conectando o paradigma sistêmico e as Ciências da Complexidade aos objetivos da Engenharia de Produção, associou-se a lógica de formação e funcionamento das Cadeias de Suprimentos à lógica funcional dos sistemas complexos, apresentando um capítulo de revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. A proposta foi validada, por meio de sua aplicação em parte de uma cadeia de suprimentos imediata. Constatou-se que, a modelagem pode auxiliar as empresas no processo de formação de cadeias de suprimentos, por meio da determinação de critérios de seleção para o estabelecimento de parcerias, pela identificação das condições iniciais de cada empresa componente da cadeia, tais como: posição no mercado, estágio do ciclo de vida em que está situada, espaço de possibilidades que possui, bem como pelo desenvolvimento de uma arquitetura e de uma dinâmica adequadas as características das empresas que formam a cadeia de suprimentos. Além disso, concluiu-se que, a modelagem com base no paradigma sistêmico e orientado pelos conceitos das Ciências da Complexidade, contribui para evidenciar os relacionamentos mais importantes e os mais problemáticos nas empresas, expondo as interações competitivas e as cooperativas
Hidden mutualities : Faustian themes in the postcolonial
No full textHidden mutualities link the work of major postcolonial writers with Marlowe's drama of
the Faustian pact - the manipulation of the material world in exchange for the soul -
written as the 'scientific' world view was emerging which accompanied the imperial
expansion of Europe and has determined the economic and social structures of the
colonial and post-colonial world.
This comparative study brings together researches in widely different fields to show
how Doctor Faustus reflects a Gnostic / Hermetic tradition marginalized within the
dominant European power structures. It shows initially how these ideas were crystallized
by Ficino and Pico from the available texts of the Corpus Hermeticum, and how they
relate to what has become known about Gnosticism and Simon Magus. Combined with
the alchemical and cabalistic traditions they form a basis for the study of Renaissance
'Magus' figures such as Trithemius, Reuchlin, Agrippa, Paracelsus or Dee, who are
reflected in Faust and in Shakespeare's Prospero in The Tempest.
The second part investigates the dual legacy of the Magus. A counterpoint between a
law-governed objective material world and an occult visionary pursuit of the divine
potential of the human imagination, in which the Gnostic / Hermetic tradition ironically
became marginalized by the technological science it had inspired, is traced through the
examples of Kepler, Fludd, Newton, Blake, Kipling, Crowley, Yeats, Pauli and Jung.
In the third part, textual analysis reveals how attention to these Faustian themes
opens new critical perspectives in appreciating the works of postcolonial writers, in
particular Dimetos by Athol Fugard, Disappearance by David Dabydeen, Omeros by
Derek Walcott, and the novels of Wilson Harris, all of which stress the importance of the
creative imagination over mimesis
Novel Approach Identifies SNPs in SLC2A10 and KCNK9 with Evidence for Parent-of-Origin Effect on Body Mass Index
No full textThe phenotypic effect of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) depends on their parental origin. We present a novel approach to detect parent-of-origin effects (POEs) in genome-wide genotype data of unrelated individuals. The method exploits increased phenotypic variance in the heterozygous genotype group relative to the homozygous groups. We applied the method to >56,000 unrelated individuals to search for POEs influencing body mass index (BMI). Six lead SNPs were carried forward for replication in five family-based studies (of ~4,000 trios). Two SNPs replicated: the paternal rs2471083-C allele (located near the imprinted KCNK9 gene) and the paternal rs3091869-T allele (located near the SLC2A10 gene) increased BMI equally (beta = 0.11 (SD), P<0.0027) compared to the respective maternal alleles. Real-time PCR experiments of lymphoblastoid cell lines from the CEPH families showed that expression of both genes was dependent on parental origin of the SNPs alleles (P<0.01). Our scheme opens new opportunities to exploit GWAS data of unrelated individuals to identify POEs and demonstrates that they play an important role in adult obesity. © 2014 Hoggart et al
Incidence of severe critical events in paediatric anaesthesia (APRICOT): a prospective multicentre observational study in 261 hospitals in Europe
No full textBackground Little is known about the incidence of severe critical events in children undergoing general anaesthesia in Europe. We aimed to identify the incidence, nature, and outcome of severe critical events in children undergoing anaesthesia, and the associated potential risk factors. Methods The APRICOT study was a prospective observational multicentre cohort study of children from birth to 15 years of age undergoing elective or urgent anaesthesia for diagnostic or surgical procedures. Children were eligible for inclusion during a 2-week period determined prospectively by each centre. There were 261 participating centres across 33 European countries. The primary endpoint was the occurence of perioperative severe critical events requiring immediate intervention. A severe critical event was defined as the occurrence of respiratory, cardiac, allergic, or neurological complications requiring immediate intervention and that led (or could have led) to major disability or death. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01878760. Findings Between April 1, 2014, and Jan 31, 2015, 31â127 anaesthetic procedures in 30â874 children with a mean age of 6·35 years (SD 4·50) were included. The incidence of perioperative severe critical events was 5·2% (95% CI 5·0â5·5) with an incidence of respiratory critical events of 3·1% (2·9â3·3). Cardiovascular instability occurred in 1·9% (1·7â2·1), with an immediate poor outcome in 5·4% (3·7â7·5) of these cases. The all-cause 30-day in-hospital mortality rate was 10 in 10â000. This was independent of type of anaesthesia. Age (relative risk 0·88, 95% CI 0·86â0·90; p<0·0001), medical history, and physical condition (1·60, 1·40â1·82; p<0·0001) were the major risk factors for a serious critical event. Multivariate analysis revealed evidence for the beneficial effect of years of experience of the most senior anaesthesia team member (0·99, 0·981â0·997; p<0·0048 for respiratory critical events, and 0·98, 0·97â0·99; p=0·0039 for cardiovascular critical events), rather than the type of health institution or providers. Interpretation This study highlights a relatively high rate of severe critical events during the anaesthesia management of children for surgical or diagnostic procedures in Europe, and a large variability in the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. These findings are substantial enough to warrant attention from national, regional, and specialist societies to target education of anaesthesiologists and their teams and implement strategies for quality improvement in paediatric anaesthesia.

Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse
No full textThis thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a
British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between
colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its
inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing,
government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts.
Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial
theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent
'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather
monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to
colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous
re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations.
Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's
historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes
employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular
with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden.
Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's
gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and
early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English
East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and
colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late
eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these
perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of
its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century).
Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by
addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own
research, while also indicating avenues for further research.
A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of
nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of
colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and
representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities
are of as much significance as their discontinuities

These are the primary source records for the outline of the
Arkansas Imbeau family that follows. Since the body of informa-tion
is admittedly incomplete and subject to individual interpre-tation,
translations of the records in full are presented. This
opportunity is taken to share what has been located to date with
those who do not have easy access to some of the sources.
this body of records illustrates the many spellings one name
can assume as it is written by various scribes and interpreted by
subsequent researchers. The problem is magnified in this instance
as frequently, during Arkansas's colonial era, the priests and civ
il and military record keepers were Frenchmen required to keep
records in Spanish and visa versa.
Evaluation of these records begins with a worksheet listing
chronologically the children named in the baptismal records: Jean
Grand Prairie Historical Society BULLETIN
October 1985 Rige 5
Baptiste b. 1758? Juana b. 1760? Martin b. 1771? Pierre b. 1772;
Francois b. 1777; Francois Michel b. 1778; Julian Agustin b. 178l?
Jean Baptiste b. 1784. That there are two boys named Jean Baptiste
and two named Francois is not unusual as it was once a custom -when
a child died young to use the name again. Although Martin's parents
are not named, the name and sponsors suggest strongly that he be-longs.
The first dilemma it is necessary to come to grips with in
structuring the family of Jean Baptiste and Catherine Martin Imbeau
is the variance in the names in Mazelliere's census with the names
in the only two baptismal records located for children born before
1770* Commandant de douet's unnamed six children presents no
problem—b, 1758, 1760, 17^2, 1764, 1766, 1768. Numerically, the
1770 census with one unbaptised son is not questioned as one son
could have died and another have been born.
As to the boys in January 1770s Joseph fits as Joseph Imbeau
enumerated by Sheriff James Hamilton in 1823 in Arkansas county is
"upwards of 45 years". Anselme can be accepted as it is logical
a son is named after the father's half-brother, Anselme Billette.
The initial assumption that Jean Baptiste b. 1758 died in infancy
and the name reused in 1784 is not consistent with the 1797 marri-age
of John Baptiste, son of the couple. Apparently, Catherine is
not the mother of Jean Baptiste b. in 1784. It is even possible that
Jean Baptiste b. 1758 was the father. One of the baptismal sponsors
is Juana Martin. Juana Imbeau b. 1760 also has a Juana Martin for
a sponsor, suggesting he is of this line of Imbeaus. He Is elimina-ted
from the list of Jean Baptiste and Catherine's children and
relegated to the "worry about later".
For the girls in 1770: None are named Juana or Marie Antoi-nette
married, according to the records, in 1779 and 1785 respec-tively.
Obviously Juana was bom prior to Jan 1770. Marie Antoi-nette
could have been married at age 15. More likely, Commandant de
Mazelliere did not know, or inquire, the names of the three girls
but listed them in his report with commonly used names of the day.
The two Francois records also present" a problem on closer
scrutiny. Francois b. 1777 but not baptized until 1783 is incon-sistent
with a second Francois b. 1778. The deteriorated condi-tion
of page 270 in the register makes it impossible to guarantee
the accuracy of the abstracted data. It will have to suffice that
Francois, son of Jean Baptiste and Catherine Martin Imbeau, who mar-ried
at Arkansas Post Therese Bartelemy in 1797. was born 1770-1780.

IMBEAU LEFT-OVERS
The Arkansas Imbeau search uncovered items relative to another
Martin Imbeau in Louisiana. Even though the name suggests he may
belong with this family, fitting him in has not yet been effected.
It doesn't compute that Jean Baptiste and Catherine Imbeau, both
listed as minors when they signed a marriage contract in January
1758, could have a son who had issue as early as 1774. Certainly
he is not the Martin Imbeau b. 1771.

"ALMYRA at the (1924) RICE CARNIVAL
"Almyra attended en masse at the great Rice Carnival in Stut-tgart
last week and, as usual, carried off all the prizes worth
winning. She captured first prize for both float and booth, and
to say the least of it, in our estimation, neither could have been
better. Both were beautiful—and the exhibits and the manner in
