John A. Ryan. To be a contemplative in action
No full textSpirituality does not come only from books or sermons. It comes from encounters,Jesus met the people and told them stories. John A. Ryan rooted his passion for social and economic justice in the world, in encounter and finding God in all things. A passion that may have made Ryan the first author to combine economic ethics and Church teachings in a way that was uncommon in that period.The goal of this paper is to present Ryan s thought in our contemporary European context. At the same time, the author will to show how Theology and Social Sciences can walk together in order to clarify the complexity of social processes and incarnate the Kingdom of God in our contemporary world. The paper s author will to show that Ryan s legacy is still able to contribute something constructive to contemporary Church Culture.After introducing some brief notes to contextualize his life, this paper describes his main theoretical contributions through two of his most important works, A living Wage and Distributive Justice. Next, the author will show how Ryan tried to incarnate his theories in a social political program that walked hand in hand with President Roosevelt s own [New Deal / social development] programs. Third, the paper s author will suggest a few connections between Ryan s main contributions and some contemporary key concepts in Social Sciences and Catholic social teachings.La espiritualidad no reside sólo en libros o en sermones, sino que surge de los encuentros; Jesús se encontró con la gente y les contó historias. John A. Ryan enraizaba su pasión por la justicia social y económica en el mundo en el encuentro y en la búsqueda de Dios en todas las cosas.Esa pasión puede haber hecho que Ryan fuese el primer autor que combinase la ética económica y las enseñanzas sociales de la Iglesia en un proceso inusual para su tiempo.El objetivo de esta nota es presentar el pensamiento de Ryan en nuestro actual contexto europeo y, al mismo tiempo, mostrar cómo la Teología y las Ciencias Sociales pueden caminar juntas, clarificando la complejidad de los procesos sociales y encarnando el Reino de Dios en nuestro mundo contemporáneo. El autor pretende mostrar que la herencia de Ryan todavía es capaz de contribuir constructivamente a la cultura de la Iglesia contemporánea.Después de la introducción de algunos breves apuntes para contextualizar su vida, la nota describe las principales contribuciones teóricas por medio de dos de sus trabajos más importantes, A living Wage y Distributive Justice. A continuación, el artículo muestra cómo Ryan trató de encarnar sus teorías en un programa social político que coexistió mano a mano con el propio programa del presidente Roosevelt [el New Deal / desarrollo social].En tercer lugar, sugiere algunas conexiones entre las contribuciones principales de Ryan y algunos conceptos contemporáneos claves en las ciencias sociales y en la enseñanza social católica.La spiritualité ne vient pas seulement des livres ou des sermons. Elle vient de la rencontre, Jésus a rencontré des gens et leur racontait des histoires. John A. Ryan a enraciné sa passion pour la justice sociale et économique dans le monde, dedans de recherche pour trouver Dieu en toute chose.Une passion qui peut avoir fait de Ryan le premier auteur à combiner l éthique économique et les enseignements de l Église d une manière qui était rare dans cette période.Le but de cet article est de présenter la pensée de Ryan dans notre actuel contexte européen.En même temps, l auteur veut nous montrer comment la théologie et les sciences sociales peuvent marcher ensemble pour clarifier la complexité des processus sociaux et ainsi incarner le Royaume de Dieu dans le monde contemporain. L auteur de la note veut montrer que l héritage de Ryan est encore en mesure de contribuer quelque peu à la construction culturelle de l Église contemporaine. Après avoir présenté quelques brefs pointages pour contextualiser la vie de Ryan,le texte décrit ses principales contributions théoriques à travers deux de ses travaux les plus importants, A living Wage (un salaire de vie) et Distributive Justice (Justice distributive).Ensuite, l auteur montre comment Ryan a essayé d incarner ses théories dans un programme social politique qui a marché main dans la main avec les propres programmes du président Roosevelt [New Deal / développement social]. Troisièmement, l auteur propose quelques connexions entre les principales contributions de Ryan et quelques des concepts clés contemporains en sciences sociales et en l enseignement social catholiqu

Effectiveness of teacher-child interaction training (TCIT): a multiple probe design across classrooms in a day-treatment preschool
No full textThe current study assessed the effectiveness of Teacher-Child Interaction Training (TCIT), an adaptation of Eyeberg’s Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), on teacher and child behaviors in a day-treatment preschool setting. The sample included 5 day-treatment classrooms in an urban, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and culturally diverse setting. The study utilized a concurrent multiple probe design across classroom settings (3 training groups consisting of 5 classrooms) to evaluate the effects of didactic and in-vivo coaching on teacher and child behaviors in the training and classroom settings. Results indicated that all teachers’ use of positive behaviors increased and negative behaviors decreased during pull-out sessions; all 5 teachers attained CDI and TDI mastery criteria. Results also indicated some evidence of spontaneous generalization of teachers’ use of Labeled Praises to the classroom setting, while other teacher behaviors did not generalize. Results on child behavior were variable and failed to demonstrate consistent improvements in the classroom setting; this finding is understood given the lack of generalization of teachers’ behaviors to the classroom. These findings provide initial support for the use of TCIT to improve teachers’ behavior management skills, as well as support for the feasibility of implementing TCIT with fidelity to the PCIT manual. Additionally, the study offers insight into the possible need for additional adaptations to train teachers in how and when to implement the TCIT skills under high stress in-vivo classroom conditions.Psy.

Quasi-cyclic Generalized LDPC codes with low error floors
No full textIn this paper, a novel methodology for designing structured generalized LDPC (G-LDPC) codes is presented. The proposed design results in quasi-cyclic G-LDPC codes for which efficient encoding is feasible through shift-register-based circuits. The structure imposed on the bipartite graphs, together with the choice of simple component codes, leads to a class of codes suitable for fast iterative decoding. A pragmatic approach to the construction of G-LDPC codes is proposed. The approach is based on the substitution of check nodes in the protograph of a low-density parity-check code with stronger nodes based, for instance, on Hamming codes. Such a design approach, which we call LDPC code doping, leads to low-rate quasi-cyclic G-LDPC codes with excellent performance in both the error floor and waterfall regions on the additive white Gaussian noise channel

Zoonotic potential of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. and prevalence of intestinal parasites in young dogs from different populations on Prince Edward Island, Canada
No full textThe prevalence of Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp. and other intestinal parasites was determined in dogs <1 year old from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Fecal samples were collected from the local animal shelter (n=62), private veterinary clinics (n=78) and a pet store (n=69). Intestinal parasites isolated included G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Toxocara canis, Isospora spp. and Uncinaria stenocephala. To estimate the zoonotic risk associated with these infections, genotypes of G. duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. were determined using 16S rRNA and Hsp70 gene sequencing, respectively. Dogs from the pet store had the highest prevalence of intestinal parasites (78%, 95% CI: 68-88%), followed by the private veterinary clinics (49%, 95% CI: 37-60%), and the local animal shelter (34%, 95% CI: 22-46%). The majority G. duodenalis belonged to host-adapted assemblages D (47%, 95% CI: 31-64%) and C (26%, 95% CI: 13-43%), respectively. Zoonotic assemblages A and B were isolated alone or in mixed infections from 16% (95% CI: 6-31%) of G. duodenalis-positive dogs. All Cryptosporidium spp. were the host-adapted C. canis. While host-adapted, non-zoonotic G. duodenalis genotypes were more common, the presence of G. duodenalis assemblages A and B, T. canis, and U. stenocephala suggests that these dogs may present a zoonotic risk. The zoonotic risk from Cryptosporidium-infected dogs was minimal.Fabienne D. Uehlinger, Spencer J. Greenwood, J. Trenton McClure, Gary Conboy, Ryan O’Handley, Herman W. Barkem
On the real linear polarization constant problem
No full textThe present paper deals with lower bounds for the norm of products of linear forms. It has been proved by J. Arias-de-Reyna [2], that the so-called n(th) linear polarization constant c(n)(C-n) is n(n/2), for arbitrary n is an element of N. The same value for c(n) (R-n) is only conjectured. In a recent work A. Pappas and S. Revesz prove that c(n) (R-n) = n(n/2) for n <= 5. Moreover, they show that if the linear forms are given as f(j)(x) = [x, a(j)),for some unit vectors a(j) (1 <= j <= n), then the product of the f(j)'s attains at least the value n(-n/2) at the normalized signed sum of the vectors having maximal length. Thus they asked whether this phenomenon remains true for arbitrary n is an element of N. We show that for vector systems {a(j)}(j=1)(n) close to an orthonormal system, the Pappas-Revesz estimate does hold true. Furthermore, among these vector systems the only system giving n(-n/2) as the norm of the product is the orthonormal system. On the other hand, for arbitrary vector systems we answer the question of A. Pappas and S. Revesz in the negative when n is an element of N is large enough. We also discuss various further examples and counterexamples that may be instructive for further research towards the determination of c(n)(R-n)
