Apparent diffusion coefficient value in evaluating types, stages and histologic grading of cancer cervix
No full textAbstractAimTo determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements calculated values were significantly different between cervical tumors with different histological characteristics (type, degree of differentiation, and stage of malignancy).Patients and methodsMRI and DWI scans performed in 26 pathologically proved cancer cervix patients. ADC values of different pathological types of cervical cancer were compared. Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis.ResultsThere were 18 squamous cell carcinoma and 8 adenocarcinomas showed with biopsy results. Early stage (FIGO-Ib–IIa, n=7), (FIGO-IIb–IIIb–IVa, n=19). The mean ADC values for squamous cell carcinoma (n=18), and adenocarcinoma (n=8) were 0.88×10−3, and 0.91×10−3mm2/s, respectively. Statistical analysis showed significant difference in ADC value between both tumor types (P<0.05). There was also significant difference between the mean ADC values of the tumor grade I and the other grades (II, III) (p<0.05). The mean ADC values in early stage cervical cancer (0.83±0.05×10−3mm2/s) were significantly lower than the mean ADC values in late stage disease (0.98±0.06×10−3mm2/s) (p<0.05).ConclusionADC value measurements can provide useful information in diagnosis of cervical cancer as well as in preoperative assessment of the tumor stage
Icochilus ulter Ameghino 1899
No full textIcochilus ulter Ameghino, 1899 Holotype. MACN-A 11601 (Figs. 6 H–I), right mandibular fragment with p3–m3 and left mandibular fragment with p4–m1 series. Age and provenance of the type material. Astrapothericulan beds (presumably the Pinturas Formation), early Miocene, Santa Cruz Province (Argentina). Original description (Ameghino 1899: 5). “ De la talla del Icochilus extensus, pero de rama mandibular más alta (20 milímetros debajo de la quinta muela) ”. English translation. With the size of Icochilus extensus, but with a highest mandibular ramus (20 millimetres below the fifth molar). Comments. Ameghino (1899) briefly described this species without illustrating it, but he did not mention it in his catalogue. There is no specimen indicated as type of Ic. ulter in the Ameghino Collection. Despite this, Mones (1986) indicated, but with doubts, “MACN-A 10601?” as type specimen; however, this specimen is also indicated by the author as the type of the isotemnid Eochalicotherium crassidens. MACN-A 10601 is in fact a lot constituted by three mandibular fragments—with one tooth each—that belong to the latter species; consequently, it is discarded as the holotype of Ic. ulter. On the other hand, the lot MACN-A 11601, which is composed of two mandibular fragments of the same individual, with right p3–m3 and left p4–m1, is the only material assigned by F. Ameghino to Ic. ulter within the Ameghino Collection. The right fragment matches the only measurement (length of the mandibular ramus below m1 = 20 mm) given by Ameghino (1899). It is worth mentioning that there are two pieces of paper inside the container with Ameghino’s handwriting: one that reproduces the original description of the species and another with the name “ Icochilus ulter ”. In the latter, it is also written “10601” but with someone else’s handwriting (probably from M. Soria; A. Kramarz, pers. comm.), and the first ‘0’ was crossed out and replaced by ‘1’; it is very likely that this mistake led Mones to mention “MACN-A 10601?” as the type of the species. As a result, MACN-A 11601 is identified as the holotype of Ic. ulter.Published as part of Fernández, Mercedes, Fernicola, Juan Carlos & Cerdeño, Esperanza, 2019, On the type materials of the genera Interatherium Ameghino, 1887 and Icochilus Ameghino, 1889 (Interatheriidae, Notoungulata, Mammalia) from early Miocene of the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, pp. 195-220 in Zootaxa 4543 (2) on page 216, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4543.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/261775
Icochilus lamellosus Ameghino 1894
No full textIcochilus lamellosus Ameghino, 1894a Holotype. MACN-A 3631 (Fig. 5 A), incomplete skull with complete dentition. Age and provenance of the type material. Santacrucian SALMA, early Miocene, Santa Cruz Province (Argentina). Original description (Ameghino 1894a: 15–16). “ Espèce de petite taille. La canine supérieure est bien développée, de la même grandeur et à peu près de la même forme que l'incisive externe, étant séparées l'une de l'autre par un petit diastème; ces deux dents sont comprimées latéralement et ont la forme de lames tranchantes. L'incisive externe ou troisième, est séparée de la deuxième par un diastème assez long; un autre diastème un peu plus long sépare la première prémolaire de la canine. La p 1 est placée contre la p 2 et porte un sillon vertical à son angle antérieur externe. Longueur du bord antérieur de l'i 1 au bord postérieur de la m 3 , 37 mm ”. English translation. Species of small size. The upper canine is well developed, of the same size and nearly the same form as the external incisor, being separated from each other by a small diastema; these two teeth are laterally compressed and have the appearance of cutting blades. The external incisor, or third, is separated from the second by a rather long diastema; another slightly longer diastema separates the first premolar from the canine. The P1 is placed against P2 and has a vertical groove at its antero-external angle. Length from the anterior edge of I1 to the posterior border of m3, 37 mm. Comments. Ameghino (1894a) did not add any illustration to the description of this species. According to Ameghino’s catalogue and Mones (1986), the incomplete skull MACN-A 3631 is the type specimen. MACN-A 3631 exhibits a well-developed upper canine that is subequal to I3 —being both teeth laterally compressed—, and the diastemata I2–3, I3 –C and C–dP1 mentioned by Ameghino (1894a). Even though the author did not indicate the dimensions of these discontinuities, he established relative differences in size, which resemble those obtained in the material (length of diastema I2–3 = left, 0.9 mm and right, 1.4 mm; length diastema I3 –C: left, 0.4 mm and right, 0.8 mm; length of diastema C–dP1: left, 2.6 mm and right, 2.2 mm). The length of I1 –M3 series (38 mm) also matches the value provided by Ameghino (1894a). Therefore, MACN-A 3631 is confirmed as the holotype of Ic. lamellosus.Published as part of Fernández, Mercedes, Fernicola, Juan Carlos & Cerdeño, Esperanza, 2019, On the type materials of the genera Interatherium Ameghino, 1887 and Icochilus Ameghino, 1889 (Interatheriidae, Notoungulata, Mammalia) from early Miocene of the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, pp. 195-220 in Zootaxa 4543 (2) on page 210, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4543.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/261775

UGA law school conference to address child endangerment and sexual exploitation issues
Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia School of Law will host the first annual Wilbanks Child Endangerment and Sexual Exploitation Clinic Conference Jan. 28, 2017.
The daylong conference will bring together legal experts, psychologists and child advocacy leaders from across the country to discuss important issues related to child sexual abuse and those professionals who assist them. Panel discussions will examine the intersection of civil, criminal and juvenile courts in child sexual abuse cases; trauma/compassion fatigue for those representing child sexual abuse survivors; and understanding the psychology of child sexual abuse and using experts effectively.
The keynote address will be delivered by Ross Cheit, a Brown University professor and author of Witch-Hunt Narrative: Politics, Psychology, and the Sexual Abuse of Children by the Oxford University Press.
Other speakers include: Marlan B. Wilbanks, a 1986 Georgia Law alumnus who provided initial funding for the nation’s first experiential learning opportunity dedicated solely to the assistance of survivors of child sexual abuse; Peter Janci, a partner with the law firm Crew Janci, who will speak on investigating and uncovering institutional abuse drawing upon his experience of representing more than 100 survivors of sexual abuse; and Paul Mones, a nationally recognized advocate for survivors of child abuse who over the course of his 30-plus year career has obtained tens of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for his clients from entities such as the Boy Scouts of America.
As part of the conference, the documentary film “Off the Record: Justice Denied to Child Sex Abuse Survivors” will have its debut showing, which will be followed by a question and answer session with filmmakers Valerie Gibson and Neil Jaffee.
For more information and to register for the conference, please visit http://cease.law.uga.edu/wilbanks-child-endangerment-and-sexual-exploitation-conference-january-28-2017 before January 24. Registrations will be taken thereafter on a space availability basis only. The cost is 50 and continuing legal education credits are available.

Beyond the Pedagogical Illusion? Historical-Comparative Reflections on the Impact History of Moral Education of Children and Adolescents
No full textThis article can be broken down into two parts, perhaps somewhat unequally as far as its orientation is concerned. In the first part, the author takes the reader on a kind of exploration of the history of moral education, a subject which, at first glance and from the perspective of the years he spent studying educational historiography, appears to be rather undeveloped terrain. Since the piece is related to the awarding of the Comenius Medal, Comenius himself already provides a good starting point for this round of studies. As in the case of Herbart, another classic within the canon of educational history, Comenius held the opinion that morality plays a key role in upbringing of young people, which became increasingly scintillating in appearance from the Enlightenment onwards. For in a well-regulated society, it was by means of upbringing and education that individual freedom could be created. However, in the course of the 20th century and to the shame of humanity, people were forced to witness how the idea that people and society could be shaped by social engineering could equally give rise to a lack of freedom, as the aberrations of Nazism, fascism and ultimately Marxism-Leninism unequivocally demonstrated. So can such “reversals” of modern-day thought ultimately teach us any overall lessons about the content, manner and results with which moral curricula are imposed? Or must we first set out to identify the “abnormal” cases that society first branded as such and only subsequently extract those lessons? In other words, can extraordinary situations and events teach us something about the everyday reality of moral education as manifested in the so-called “civilising offensive” that took place from the end of the 18th century onwards? As far as the Low Countries are concerned, the author is, for that matter, setting foot on familiar ground. By utilising previous research on Belgium, Flanders and the (Belgian) Congo, the second part of the article wastes no time in examining what moral education meant in more specific terms in the 20th century. In that regard, the focus not only lies on contextualising the insights and questions raised by the first part, as a “tour d’horizon”, but equally on analysing them in greater depth. After all, the author’s years of research already provide three interesting points of reference: 1) the strong continuity of the patronising perspective; 2) the problematic nature of thinking about educational innovations and didactic innovations in binary terms, such as “old” and “new”, and 3) the lack of a straightforward link between parenting and educational goals on the one hand and their results and effects (including and especially in the long term) on the other. Which leads inevitably to the conclusion that education, important as it is, must not be overestimated. Nor should history for that matter. Perhaps both are nothing more than an opportunity to partake of a meaningful encounter that may be effective, but whose outcome one can never be sure of. Which in turn does not take away from the fact that we must still place our hopes on it. For hope is probably the most positive thing that human beings carry within them, just as Comenius himself proved in his lifetime, by the way
