OBJECTIVE: The TAS 20 has demonstrated strong psychometric properties in a broad variety of studies in healthy populations. Much less work has been done in clinical contexts exploring the validity of the TAS 20 as a measure of the cognitive processing of emotions. The TAS 20, a self-report scale, tends to correlate with self-reported negative affect, but in a clinical context it is important to be able to differentiate between negative affect and the cognitive processing of emotion. We therefore used the TAS 20 and a performance measure, the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS), which in previous studies demonstrated no overlap with measures of negative affect, to explore the ability of the two measures to detect deficits in emotional awareness in a clinical sample. METHODS: Data from inpatients of a psychosomatic ward were collected at onset (N = 394) and at the end of multimodal psychodynamic treatment (N = 249). The sample consisted of six diagnostic groups (depression; anxiety and compulsive-obsessive disorders, adjustment disorders, somatoform disorders, psychological factors related to somatic disorders, eating disorders). Changes in the TAS 20 and LEAS were compared at the two time points controlling for the effects of gender, age, educational level, and associations with self-reported negative affect. RESULTS: In contrast to the LEAS, the TAS 20 correlated with negative affect at the onset and the end of treatment. The scores of the TAS 20 decreased with treatment in all diagnostic groups but the change in the TAS 20 was not statistically significant when negative affect was controlled. In contrast, LEAS scores increased with treatment in the groups with somatoform disorders and psychological factors related to somatic disorders, and this change was independent of negative affect. CONCLUSION: The LEAS captured a change in emotional awareness due to treatment, whereas the TAS 20 captured a change in negative affect. The LEAS appears to be a more specific measure of change in emotional awareness in clinical contexts than the TAS 20.

Thirty-nine incidents of homicide-suicide occurring in Victoria, Australia between 1985 and 1989 were examined. In 33 cases the assailants were men. The victims were spouses or women living in a de facto marriage. The majority of the victims were shot, and this was also the most frequent method of suicide. Breakdown in a relationship was the most frequent reason for killing. Mental illness of the assailant accounted for the killing in approximately 20% of cases. Physical ill health and financial stress were identified as important associative factors, particularly in the elderly. The pattern of homicide-suicide in Victoria is similar to that observed in other jurisdictions and represents an important and distinct subgroup of homicide.

We propose a neural network architecture that emulates the behavior of a physics solver that solves electricity differential equations to compute electricity flow in power grids (so-called "load flow"). Load flow computation is a well studied and understood problem, but current methods (based on Newton-Raphson) are slow. With increasing usage expectations of the current infrastructure, it is important to find methods to accelerate computations. One avenue we are pursuing in this paper is to use proxies based on "graph neural networks". In contrast with previous neural network approaches, which could only handle fixed grid topologies, our novel graph-based method, trained on data from power grids of a given size, generalizes to larger or smaller ones. We experimentally demonstrate viability of the method on randomly connected artificial grids of size 30 nodes. We achieve better accuracy than the DC-approximation (a standard benchmark linearizing physical equations) on random power grids whose size range from 10 nodes to 110 nodes. Our neural network learns to solve the load flow problem without overfitting to a specific instance of the problem.

BACKGROUND: Fractures of the lateral clavicle result in a high rate of nonunion compared with midshaft fractures. Many operative treatment methods of unstable lateral clavicle fractures have been described, but no single method has become generally accepted. This study reports our experience treating unstable lateral clavicle fractures with coracoclavicular ligament rupture. METHODS: Within 7 years, 19 patients with acute unstable lateral clavicle fractures were treated using a 2.4-mm T-plate and a coracoclavicular polydioxanone cord. The follow-up averaged 5.3 years (range, 2.0-8.8). Shoulder function was assessed using the Constant score and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score. General health of the patients was evaluated according to the Short Form 36 questionnaire. RESULTS: Eighteen of the 19 patients treated with our method achieved union at 8.8 weeks (range, 6-14), a Constant Murley score of 91.5 (range, 72-100) on the injured side versus 93.5 (range, 80-100) on the contralateral side, a Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score of 1.4 (range, 0-9.2), and a Short Form 36 Health Score of 85 (range, 89-100). One patient showed breakage of the plate and a delayed union at the radiologic follow-up 4 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: This study shows that treatment of unstable lateral clavicular fractures with an angular stable locking plate together with a polydioxanone cord ligament augmentation leads to excellent results with a 95% union rate. Additional coracoclavicular augmentation next to plate fixation of the clavicle may partially solve the problem of uncertain plate fixation if the lateral fragment is small and multifragmented, as often observed.

The present paper has two intimately connected goals; It aims at contributing to Chomsky's "Government Binding Theory" and also at providing a fairly detailed comparative analysis of French and English impersonal constructions. Its contribution comes under the guise of (a) an Agreement Theory (see section 2), (b) a general constraint on impersonal chains (see (72)) and (c) a new nominative Case assignment rule: it is suggested that in French and Italian (but not in English) "ergative verbs" (in Burzio (1981) 'sense) can assign nominative Case to their "object". Furthermore, as has become standard in recent comparative work in the GB framework, the paper attempts to isolate the parameters that are responsible for the minimally distinct properties of the constructions under investigation. It is shown here that they can be traced back to the interplay of a Case parameter, the morphological properties of expletive elements (il vs there) and the properties of Universal Grammar.

To examine the relationship of chromosome 1 copy number to melanocytic tumorigenesis, interphase cytogenetic analysis of 1q12 satellite III DNA was performed on the spectrum of melanocytic lesions comprising Clark's tumor progression model. Results showed increased copy number in a "step off" pattern between melanoma in-situ and the intraepidermal component of invasive melanoma rather than a progression between each lesional group. These findings support Clark's concept of independent clonal expansion of a cell population giving rise to the vertical growth phase and further demonstrates increased chromosome 1 copy number as a late event in melanoma tumor progression.

DC MicroGrids with the integration of renewable energy sources (renewables) and energy storage systems can improve the performance of power systems, ensuring safe operation of a local network, where the MicroGrid control is responsible to assure stability and power quality of the system. This paper proposes a distributed nonlinear control strategy for a DC MicroGrid composed of a PV, a battery storage and a supercapacitor to properly supply a local AC load, where a complete stability analysis in conducted using Lyapunov techniques. The MicroGrid is connected to an AC grid by a VSC converter, which injects the right amount of active and reactive power according to the AC load demand. The supercapacitor's duty is to control DC bus voltage dealing with transient stability while the battery fulfills long term power flow, where the energy is controlled to assure power flow balance, ensuring proper operation for the MicroGrid. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed control and the system's operation.

One of the industries that uses large amounts of water is the food industry. Industrial, domestic managers of the production process stand out with it and enter the environment surrounded by contaminated effluents. Their main feature is the high content of dissolved organic matter and nitrogen. You can also create wall water to create aggregate-resistant colloids, which include animal and vegetable fats, proteins, starch, sugar, as well as salts, carbohydrates, dyes, thickeners, preservatives. As a result of the technology of treatment of such industrial effluents, is a combination of different technologies and methods of treatment and the creation of several units depending on the parameters of wastewater. The purpose of our work is: 1) Analysis of physical and chemical indicators of industrial waters of food industry enterprises, monitoring of their impact on the environment; 2) to outline perspective directions of technologies of industrial water purification and creation of closed water circulation systems.

Les subordonnées conditionnelles sont étudiées tout d’abord du point de vue distributionnel, puis du point de vue informationnel. Sont présentées, d’une part, la polysémie des subordonnants, de l’autre, les corrélations entre subordonnants et corrélateurs et, enfin, certaines restrictions de cooccurrences entre les subordonnants et les noms bases des subordonnées. A l’opposition entre les corrélateurs jiu et cai, on associe des caractéristiques sémantiques et informationnelles différentes. On tente d’expliquer la distribution de jiu dans les principales interrogatives. Pour conclure, on présente quelques caractéristiques distributionnelles des contrefactuelles, en particulier en ce qui concerne le point d’incidence et la portée des négations bu et mei.

This paper is yet another contribution to a debate where many people contributed recently [Delft 89, Meek 90, Sakkinen 91, and others...], the ones pleading for considering enumerated types as harmful, and the others as important. But the debate will probably be more useful if levels --- layers --- of programming are taken into account. The good answer has no reason to be the same in real life and at machine level. From my point of view, programming includes an untyping process from the former to the latter. I claim here that enumerated types do give right answers to very real questions in programming, but that they would be yet more useful if they were restricted enough to become closer to real life, as it can be done with Ada private types.

Le génome humain, à la fois œuvre de la nature et production technique, illustre clairement les difficultés de la qualification juridique des objets, procédé qui, tout en décollant du réel, s’en défait avec peine lorsque ce socle est constitué par la nature au sens le plus commun du terme. La qualification « symbolique » récente qui en a été donnée par l’Unesco, celle de « patrimoine commun de l’humanité », révèle bien, avec ses mérites et ses défauts, les méandres d’une construction juridique des entités naturelles qui permette d’éviter à la fois les pièges du naturalisme et ceux de l’artificialisme.

With the potential to find global solutions, significant research interest\nhas focused on convex relaxations of the non-convex OPF problem. Recently,\n"moment-based" relaxations from the Lasserre hierarchy for polynomial\noptimization have been shown capable of globally solving a broad class of OPF\nproblems. Global solution of many large-scale test cases is accomplished by\nexploiting sparsity and selectively applying the computationally intensive\nhigher-order relaxation constraints. Previous work describes an iterative\nalgorithm that indicates the buses for which the higher-order constraints\nshould be enforced. In order to speed computation of the moment relaxations,\nthis paper provides a study of the key parameter in this algorithm as applied\nto relaxations from both the original Lasserre hierarchy and a recent complex\nextension of the Lasserre hierarchy.\n

When a hypersonic vehicle travels through a planetary atmosphere, it can face a severe degradation of its wireless communication systems due to the creation of a plasma around it, a problem commonly known as the “communication blackout.” One solution proposed in the literature is to apply an external static magnetic field within the reentry plasma layer to create a “magnetic window” that allows the propagation of electromagnetic waves. However, this static magnetic field leads to complex phenomena within the plasma, such as nonpurely transverse waves, mode conversions, and resonances. In order to better understand the physics involved, we propose an analytical model that takes into account the inhomogeneity of the electron density and collision frequency in the plasma layer, the nonuniform static magnetic field produced by permanent magnets, and the oblique incidence of the electromagnetic waves. This model demonstrates a transmission enhancement of 85 dB at an altitude of 50 km for the Radio Attenuation Measurement C vehicle, considering a right-hand circular polarized electromagnetic wave at 1575.42 MHz, while more than half of the incident power is transmitted through the plasma slab over a field of view of 74°, still preserving the polarization purity of the incident EM wave.

(Abstracted from Gynecol Oncol 2017;147:456–459) Mortality rates in the United States due to opioid misuse have risen in recent years and continue to rise. Many of these deaths were attributed to misuse of prescription drugs.

Obstet Gynecol Surv 2016;71(1):24–26 Patients with ovarian cancer are at high risk of readmission after primary cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. Specific risk factors for rehospitalization are not defined. To develop strategies to decrease readmissions, risk factors predictive for readmission must be identified.

Artykuł opowiada o "Teatrze ludowym" Romain Rollanda, który zwykło się łączyć z koncepcjami teatru robotniczego, teatru zaangażowanego oraz teatru politycznego. Autor tekstu wskazuje na nowe funkcje teatru, w którym masowy widz miał się stać nadzieją a nie zagrożeniem dla tej instytucji sztuki.

両眼網膜像差と運動視差は有効な奥行き手がかりであるが，大きすぎる視差は二重像や運動の知覚を生じさせてしまい，かえって奥行きを減少させてしまう．しかし，二重像が生じるような大きな網膜像差と運動視差を同時に呈示することで非常に大きな奥行きが知覚されることが知られている．本研究では，この立体視の促進効果の頭部運動方向依存性について検討した．固視点付近に呈示される小さなディスクに，網膜像差，運動視差，あるいはその両方を与えた．被験者は，固視点からディスクまでの奥行きをマッチングにより応答した．頭部を左右方向または前後方向に動かした場合に知覚される奥行きを比較した．実験１では頭部，実験２では刺激の運動範囲を等しくした．両実験において，左右方向の運動条件では立体視の促進効果が生じたが，前後方向の条件では生じなかった．このことは，立体視の促進効果が左右方向の運動に固有であることを示唆する．

New Skin, seul en scène de Hannah De Meyer, spectacle programmé dans le programme P.U.L.S au Théâtre de la Bastille, a fait sa première ce soir. Le projet annoncé par le théâtre et par la comédienne elle-même est imposant : faire part théâtralement de la manière dont les œuvres queer, décoloniales et écoféministes de Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, Achille Mbembe et consorts ont changé sa vie. Si le programme de salle et les textes de communication autour du spectacle de suffisaient pas à préc...
