Abstract:

In the monograph the literature information about the nature of stochastic processes and their participation in the work of the brain and human behavior. Established that the real cognitive processes and mental functions associated with the procedural side of external events and the stochastic properties of the internal dynamics of brain systems in the form of fluctuations of their parameters, including cardiac rhythm generation and sensorimotor reactions. Experimentally proved that the dynamics of the measured physiological processes is in the range from chaotic regime to a weakly deterministic — fractal mode. Fractal mode determines the maximum order and organization homeostasis of cognitive processes and States, as well as high adaptive ability of the body systems with fractal properties. The fractal-chaotic dynamics is a useful quality to examine the actual physiological and psychological systems - a unique numerical identification of the order and randomness of the processes through calculation of fractal indices. The monograph represents the results of many years of experimental studies of the reflection properties of stochastic sensorimotor reactions, as well as stochastic properties of heart rate in children, Teens and adults in the age aspect in the speech activity and the perception of different kinds of music with its own frequency-spectral structure. Designed for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers that perform research and development on cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

Full text

Abstract:

Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD) in articular cartilage is a common age-related phenomenon. Recent important advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of pyrophosphate metabolism include the identification of a mutation within the ANK gene which associates with familial CPPD, and elucidation of the interleukin-1β‎ (IL-1β‎)-dependent mechanisms by which crystals invoke an inflammatory response. Risk factors for CPPD include age, prior joint damage and osteoarthritis, genetic factors, and occasionally metabolic diseases (hyperparathyroidism, haemochromatosis, hypomagnesaemia, and hypophosphatasia). CPPD is commonly asymptomatic or may present as osteoarthritis with CPPD, acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis, or chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis. Although radiographic chondrocalcinosis is often taken to be synonymous with CPPD, other calcium crystals can also have this appearance and definitive diagnosis requires identification of CPP crystals by compensated polarized light microscopy of aspirated synovial fluid. Recently, the ultrasonographic appearances of CPPD have been described. Treatment of CPPD is targeted to the clinical presentation. Acute CPP crystal arthritis is treated by aspiration and injection of glucocorticosteroid, local ice packs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), low-dose colchicine, oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroids, or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Treatment of osteoarthritis with CPPD is very similar to the treatment of osteoarthritis alone. There is no specific therapy for chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis: options include NSAID, low-dose colchicine, low-dose glucocorticosteroid, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine. Recommendations for the management of CPPD are derived from a small evidence base and largely based on clinical experience and extrapolation from gout. Further research into diagnosis and management including novel treatment strategies such as IL-1β‎ blockade is much needed.

Abstract:

Joint aspiration and microscopic examination of the aspirated synovial fluid remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). If synovial fluid aspiration is not feasible, plain radiography and/or ultrasound scanning may be used to detect chondrocalcinosis (CC) which predominantly occurs due to calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals, and this can be used as a diagnostic surrogate for CPPD as suggested by the EULAR Task Force. Acute CPP crystal arthritis often associates with a brisk acute phase response (elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), plasma viscosity) and neutrophilia. A mildly raised CRP and/or ESR may be present in chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis. On the contrary, asymptomatic CC, or CPPD with osteoarthritis does not cause raised acute phase reactants. As CPPD most commonly occurs due to increasing age and osteoarthritis, investigations to screen for underlying metabolic abnormalities should be carried out in those with early-onset CPPD (under 55 years), or in those with florid polyarticular CC. As hyperparathyroidism gets more common with ageing its presence should be specifically sought in all age groups. Tests for other predisposing metabolic conditions should only be carried out in the presence of specific clinical features. Genotyping for mutations, especially in the ANKH gene, may be warranted in those with a family history of premature CPPD and no evidence of inherited metabolic predisposition, but such testing is unavailable to most clinicians.

Full text

Abstract:

Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD) is rare in younger adults but becomes increasingly common over the age of 55 years, especially at the knee. Ageing and osteoarthritis (OA) are the main attributable risk factors. Hyperparathyroidism, hypomagnesaemia, haemochromatosis, and hypophosphatasia are other less common risk factors. Rare families with familial CPPD have been reported from many different parts of the world, and mainly present as young-onset polyarticular CPPD. Recent studies suggest that CPPD occurs as the result of a generalized constitutional predisposition and may also associate with low cortical bone mineral density. Previous meniscectomy, joint injury, and constitutional knee malalignment are local biomechanical risk factors specifically for knee chondrocalcinosis. Although associated with OA, current evidence suggests that CPPD does not associate with development or progression of OA.

Full text

Abstract:

Archaeologists have long acknowledged the absence of a regular and recurrent burial rite in the British Iron Age, and have looked to rites such as cremation and scattering of remains to explain the minimal impact of funerary practices on the archaeological record. Pit-burials or the deposit of disarticulated bones in settlements have been dismissed as casual disposal or the remains of social outcasts. In Death and Burial in Iron Age Britain, Harding examines the deposition of human and animal remains from the period - from whole skeletons to disarticulated fragments - and challenges the assumption that there should have been any regular form of cemetery in prehistory, arguing that the dead were more commonly integrated into settlements of the living than segregated into dedicated cemeteries. Even where cemeteries are known, they may yet represent no more than a minority of the total population, so that other forms of disposal must still have been practised. A further example of this can be found in hillforts which, in addition to domestic and agricultural settlements, evidently played an important role in funerary ritual, as secure community centres where excarnation and display of the dead may have made them a potent symbol of identity. The volume evaluates the evidence for violent death, sacrifice, and cannibalism, as well as age and gender distinctions, and associations with animal burials, and reveals that 'formal' cemetery burial or cremation was for most regions a minority practice in Britain until the eve of the Roman conquest.

Full text

Abstract:

The Beaufort Formation records extraordinary details of Arctic environments and amplified temperatures at approximately modern levels of atmospheric CO2. It was deposited during the Neogene on the western side of what is now the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Meighen Island is a key locality for studying this formation because marine sediments there are interbedded with terrestrial fossiliferous sands. The biostratigraphic succession, fossils from the marine beds, and paleomagnetic data from the Bjaere Bay region of the island suggest two potential ages for the studied exposures: either continuous deposition at ca. 3.0 Ma, or a sequence of deposits at ca. 4.5 Ma and 3.4 Ma. The sediments appear to encompass at least two eustatic highstands of sea level and a particularly warm climate interval of the Pliocene Arctic.

Full text

Abstract:

An overview is provided of anthropomorphic figurines in peninsular Italy and Sicily between the Palaeolithic and Copper Age. Some updated patterns in the data and contextual interpretations of the production, use, and deposition of figurines are presented. For the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic figurines, we can think about the performative nature of their manufacture, handling, inspection, and deposition at key residential sites, and about their symbolic significance as representations of pregnant women’s bodies. In the Neolithic and early Copper Age the focus shifts from the belly and breasts to the head and breasts, sometimes elaborated by hairstyles, necklaces, abstract symbols, and colour. The large number and variety of forms give the impression of localized production, usages, and understandings. In addition to domestic use, from the Middle Neolithic onwards, figurines were also handled, displayed, and deposited more purposefully at cemeteries and in other ritual contexts.

Full text

Abstract:

Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a defect in the carrier-mediated system that normally transports cystine out of lysosomes. As a consequence, tissues accumulate variable amounts of the disulphide amino acid cystine. Three overlapping clinical phenotypes are recognized, varying in severity and age of onset. The most severe, the infantile nephropathic form (MIM 219800), appears in the first year of life. The late-onset form (MIM 219900) is also nephropathic, while ocular, non-nephropathic cystinosis manifests largely with corneal crystal deposition (MIM 219750). Infantile cystinosis is the most common form. Affected children develop renal proximal tubulopathy at 6 to 12 months of age. In the absence of treatment, renal failure occurs, with progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cystine crystal deposition in the cornea leads to photophobia and continuous widespread cystine accumulation eventually leads to rickets, retinal, endocrinological (hypothyroidism and impaired glucose tolerance), hepatic, gastrointestinal, muscular, and neurological abnormalities.

Abstract:

To gain insight into the family’s investment in and attachment to infants, as expressed in burial rituals, cemetery data are explored in Chapter 7. In order to recognize whether infants were afforded special treatment based on their age, the various ways in which their bodies were treated and prepared for burial are examined. The chapter also seeks to detect regional and perhaps cultural differences in the deposition of an array of grave goods that accompanied infants, and to understand possible patterns and meanings in those assemblages. In addition to evidence from Argenton, Beaumont, Kempten, Marseille, Poundbury, Sétif and Tavant, material from many other sites is also discussed in this chapter.

Abstract:

This chapter seeks to understand the material and corporeal significance of human figurines through a comparative examination of two ritual contexts from Iron Age Iberia: the cave sanctuaries of Cástulo (Linares, Jaén) and the urban sanctuary of La Serreta (Alcoi, Alicante). The authors specifically focus on the materiality of the figurines—production technologies, patterns of use, and deposition—to address issues of social significance, body construction, and personhood among the communities that produced, handled, and deposited them. They analyze the web of material and social relations between humans, miniatures of humans, and the materials the miniatures were crafted of—bronze and clay. In the final section, the authors consider the corporeal implications of processes of miniaturization of human bodies and the qualities of the bodies that were sought after by the Iberian communities.

Abstract:

This chapter applies and attempts to contribute to the funerary process method of investigating late Iron Age and Roman period mortuary ritual in Britain. In this approach, evidence derived from archaeological contexts including tombstones and monuments, possible cemetery surfaces, cemetery boundaries, burials, pyre sites, and other features is reconsidered diachronically in relation to funerary schema. We therefore try to consider objects and actions in their correct funerary contexts, from the selectivity of death itself, through laying-out procedures, modification of the remains and other objects, degrees of spatial separation of the living and the dead, and types of deposition and commemorative acts. The development of tradition and diversity in funerary practice in Roman Britain is considered throughout, and the chapter concludes with a brief reconsideration of the multi-vocality of funerary symbolism.

Abstract:

The Bronze Age is frequently framed in social evolutionary terms. Viewed as the period which saw the emergence of social differentiation, the development of long-distance trade, and the intensification of agricultural production, it is seen as the precursor and origin-point for significant aspects of the modern world. This book presents a very different image of Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. Drawing on the wealth of material from recent excavations, as well as a long history of research, it explores the impact of the post-Enlightenment 'othering' of the non-human on our understanding of Bronze Age society. There is much to suggest that the conceptual boundary between the active human subject and the passive world of objects, so familiar from our own cultural context, was not drawn in this categorical way in the Bronze Age; the self was constructed in relational rather than individualistic terms, and aspects of the non-human world such as pots, houses, and mountains were considered animate entities with their own spirit or soul. In a series of thematic chapters on the human body, artefacts, settlements, and landscapes, this book considers the character of Bronze Age personhood, the relationship between individual and society, and ideas around agency and social power. The treatment and deposition of things such as querns, axes, and human remains provides insights into the meanings and values ascribed to objects and places, and the ways in which such items acted as social agents in the Bronze Age world.

Full text

Abstract:

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy characteristically causes haematuria and may present as a nephritic illness in older children and young adults. However, it may occur at any age and is commonly asymptomatic, associated first with haematuria alone, later progressing in some patients to hypertension, proteinuria, and progressive loss of glomerular filtration. While this evolution is characteristically slow, over decades, in some it is rapid, leading to early end-stage renal failure. It is common for the disease to present late, as advanced renal disease, or malignant hypertension. It may present with acute kidney injury caused by crescentic disease, but acute kidney injury caused by haematuria may be confused clinically with the same. Henoch–Schönlein purpura is a type of small vessel vasculitis that is most commonly seen in children, but which occurs at all ages, that is associated with IgA deposition. In older children and most adults it merges closely into IgA nephropathy after the acute event. Outcomes in adults are less good. IgA nephropathy is the most common type of glomerulonephritis in most developed countries. The disease is more common in men, and appears to be much less common in black people. The detected incidence is strongly influenced by biopsy policies; the lower your threshold to biopsy patients with haematuria, the more of this condition you discover. There are clear genetic tendencies but the strongest risk seems to come from genes in the human leucocyte antigen complex.

Glatz, Phil, and Michael Bourke. Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers. CSIRO Publishing, 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643093539.

Full text

Abstract:

The Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers is a straightforward, practical guide to beak trimming of egg-laying hens to minimise cannibalism. It provides comprehensive information on why birds peck and how pecking can lead to problems like cannibalism; the methods available to beak trim birds; why a particular method should be chosen; and at what age birds may be trimmed. The book addresses quality control of beak trimming, enabling egg producers to be confident that equipment is properly set up, that birds are handled and trimmed according to best practice and farm biosecurity is maintained. Management of birds following beak trimming, to protect of the welfare of the birds and to ensure maximum productivity, is covered in detail. Best-practice, current methods of beak trimming, costs of trimming and ways to reduce the use of trimming are examined, along with expected future developments. The advantages and disadvantages of beak trimming are fully explored, covering both public and industry attitudes to the operation. Alternatives to beak trimming are canvassed to understand how the use of fitted devices, enrichment devices, abrasives, low lighting and the choice of low-pecking strains of birds can reduce the need for beak trimming. Finally, the book discusses strategies for minimising cannibalism and how the chosen strategy may be documented and justified. Please note that this book is spiral-bound.
