Full textAbstract:
Il Foster Parents' Plan nacque nel 1937, per sostentare i bambini vittime della Guerra civile in Spagna, grazie a un corrispondente di guerra inglese, che ebbe l'idea di creare "legami per-sonali" tra bambini profughi e orfani e i loro benefattori, creando uno dei primissimi esperi-menti di "adozione a distanza". I "genitori adottivi" sostenevano finanziariamente i piccoli e mantenevano contatti con loro, attraverso lo scambio di lettere. Con lo scoppio della Seconda guerra mondiale, il Fpp estese i propri aiuti ai bambini di altri paesi e, alla fine del conflitto, si occupò di migliaia di giovani europei in situazioni di indigenza e disagio. Il Plan approdò stabilmente in Italia solo nel 1947 e le sue prime attività furono rivolte ai fanciulli che si tro-vavano ricoverati presso istituti e che avevano subito gravi menomazioni fisiche a causa della guerra. Per poter trattare i casi più urgenti e avere un contatto diretto con la realtà italiana, si cercò da principio il supporto di enti già presenti sul territorio. Tuttavia, a partire dai primis-simi anni Cinquanta, il Plan cominciò a operare con maggiore autonomia, grazie anche alle sue collaudate capacità organizzative.

RESUMEN: Parece que en los últimos años la autonomía local ha ido cediendo fuerza en favor de otros principios como son la estabilidad presupuestaria y la sostenibilidad financiera. Estos son los principios que han impulsado las últimas reformas sobre la Administración Local. Pero en abril del año pasado se publicó la Ley 2/2016, de 7 de abril, de Entidades Locales de Euskadi (LILE) y con ella la CAV ha hecho un esfuerzo por impulsar la autonomía municipal. Esta ley es el producto de ese esfuerzo, donde a tenor de la naturaleza y concepción que la CAV tiene del municipio se ha apostado por la autonomía local. A lo largo de la Ley se pueden ver las expresiones de dicha apuesta que hoy día sigue en pie y que refuerza la autonomía local inspirada por la Carta Europea de la Autonomía Local. En este trabajo se van a tratar los indicadores de autonomía local y su reflejo en la LILE. ABSTRACT: It seems that during last years, local autonomy has yielded in favor of other principles as budget stability and financial sustainability. These are the principles that were bolstered by the last amendments on Local Administration. But last april it was published Act 2/2016 from April 7th on Local Entities of Euskadi and with it the Basque Autonomous Community has made and effort to bolster municipal autonomy. This Act is the consequence of that effort where in terms of the nature and conception that the Basque Autonomous community has over municipality, local autonomy has been fostered. Under the Act you can see expressions of that support that to this day stand and strengthen the local autonomy inspired by the European Charter of Local Autonomy. In this work we are going to deal with the local autonomy indicators and its expression within the Act on Local Entities.

This cross-sectional study investigated if the coach's autonomy support, age and time of practice are associated with the development of life skills among 461 young Brazilians athletes (325 boys and 136 girls) aged between 10–17 years (Mage=15.12, SD=1.44). Data collection was conducted via the Life Skills Scale for Sport (P-LSSS) and Perceived Autonomy Support: Exercise Climate Questionnaire (PASECQ). Data analysis was conducted through independent t test, Pearson’s correlation and Multiple Regression (p<.05). Main results showed that coach´s autonomy support made the largest positive contribution to all eight dimensions (βrange=.07-.19, p<.05) and total life skill (β=.18; p<.001). Age made the largest positive contribution to the dimensions of teamwork, goal setting, leadership and communication (βrange=.11-.19, p<.05) and total life skills (β=.13; p<.01). However, practice time showed no contribution to life skills. This study revealed that coach´s autonomy support and age are associated positively with life skills development among youth athletes.

Full textAbstract:
Workflows have been successfully applied to express the decomposition of complex scientific applications. This has motivated many initiatives that have been developing scientific workflow tools. However the existing tools still lack adequate support to important aspects namely, decoupling the enactment engine from workflow tasks specification, decentralizing the control of workflow activities, and allowing their tasks to run autonomous in distributed infrastructures, for instance on Clouds. Furthermore many workflow tools only support the execution of Direct Acyclic Graphs (DAG) without the concept of iterations, where activities are executed millions of iterations during long periods of time and supporting dynamic workflow reconfigurations after certain iteration. We present the AWARD (Autonomic Workflow Activities Reconfigurable and Dynamic) model of computation, based on the Process Networks model, where the workflow activities (AWA) are autonomic processes with independent control that can run in parallel on distributed infrastructures, e. g. on Clouds. Each AWA executes a Task developed as a Java class that implements a generic interface allowing end-users to code their applications without concerns for low-level details. The data-driven coordination of AWA interactions is based on a shared tuple space that also enables support to dynamic workflow reconfiguration and monitoring of the execution of workflows. We describe how AWARD supports dynamic reconfiguration and discuss typical workflow reconfiguration scenarios. For evaluation we describe experimental results of AWARD workflow executions in several application scenarios, mapped to a small dedicated cluster and the Amazon (Elastic Computing EC2) Cloud.

Abstract There has been increased interest in Smart and Ongoing Commissioning solutions to address the performance drift in existing buildings. Autonomous/autonomic systems are valuable tools to support the development such solutions, working towards a set of goals while sensing changes in their environment and adapting to them without human intervention. An autonomic approach to smart building design can thus maintain optimum energy efficiency while reducing operating costs. To support this development, this paper presents B-SMART: the first reference architecture for autonomic smart buildings to support smart commissioning. This research was informed by a comprehensive review of existing autonomic properties and domain-relevant autonomic properties and conceptual architecture. By decoupling conceptually distinct layers of functionality and organizing them into an autonomic energy optimization control loop, B-SMART facilitates the autonomic optimization of smart buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) resulting in tetraplegia is a devastating, life-changing insult causing paralysis and sensory impairment as well as distinct autonomic dysfunction that triggers compromised cardiovascular, bowel, bladder, and sexual activity. Life becomes a battle for independence as even routine bodily functions and the smallest activity of daily living become major challenges. Accordingly, there is a critical need for a chronic preclinical model of tetraplegia. This report addresses this critical need by comparing, for the first time, resting-, reflex-, and stress-induced cardiovascular, autonomic, and hormonal responses each week for 4 wk in 12 sham-operated intact rats and 12 rats with chronic, complete C6–7 spinal cord transection. Loss of supraspinal control to all sympathetic preganglionic neurons projecting to the heart and vasculature resulted in a profound bradycardia and hypotension, reduced cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic tonus, reduced reflex- and stress-induced sympathetic responses, and reduced sympathetic support of blood pressure as well as enhanced reliance on angiotensin to maintain arterial blood pressure. Histological examination of the nucleus ambiguus and stellate ganglia supports the profound and distinct autonomic and cardiac deficits and reliance on angiotensin to maintain cardiovascular stability following chronic, complete cervical6–7 cord transection. NEW & NOTEWORTHY For the first time, resting-, reflex-, and stress-induced cardiovascular, autonomic, and hormonal responses were studied in rats with chronic, complete C6–7 cord transection. Loss of supraspinal control of all sympathetic preganglionic neurons reduced cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic tonus, reflex and stress-induced sympathetic responses, and sympathetic support of blood pressure as well as enhanced reliance on angiotensin to maintain arterial blood pressure. Histological examination supports the distinct deficits associated with cervical cord injury.

Full textAbstract:
The roles of the autonomic nervous system, vasopressin, and angiotensin II in support of blood pressure were evaluated in seven conscious, resting dogs while hydrated or dehydrated. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was monitored, and the dogs were given hexamethonium to block autonomic ganglia. Thirty minutes later, they were given captopril, and after another 30 min, a vasopressin V1 antagonist, d(CH2)5TyrMeAVP, was given. The order okf administration of captopril and d(CH2)5TyrMeAVP was alternated in different experiments. Hexamethonium had no effect on steady-state MAP in either hydrated or dehydrated dogs. In hydrated dogs, the average MAP was 100 mmHg; d(CH2)5TyrMeAVP decreased MAP by approximately 12 mmHg, and captopril decreased MAP by 24 mmHg. The magnitude of the effect of these two inhibitors was independent of the order of their administration. Dehydration doubled the effect of d(CH2)5TyrMeAVP on MAP but had no effect on the response to captopril. The results suggest that 1) autonomic function is not essential for maintenance of arterial blood pressure in resting dogs; 2) during autonomic ganglionic blockade, arterial blood pressure is supported by both angiotensin II and vasopressin; and 3) dehydration increases the role of vasopressin in control of blood pressure.

Full textAbstract:
The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis mediated by the parasympathetic, sympathetic and enteric systems. Autonomic failure adversely affects body function and may increase morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the scoring systems, such as Ewing’s classification and Composite Autonomic Scoring Scale (CASS), were developed to detect and quantify autonomic deficits, primarily focusing on the cardiovascular reflex system. Autonomic disorders manifest with a myriad of symptoms resulting from the dysfunction of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, secretomotor, pupillomotor systems as well as cardiovascular system. Several self-report questionnaires, such as Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale (COMPASS), Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT), Survey of Autonomic Symptom (SAS), were also used to support to detect various signs and symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in clinical settings. In this review, we introduce clinically useful assessment scales in autonomic nervous system disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Mechanical ventilator support and the resumption of spontaneous ventilation or weaning create significant alterations in alveolar and intrathoracic pressure that influence thoracic blood volume and flow. Compensatory autonomic tone alterations occur to ensure adequate tissue oxygen delivery, but autonomic responses may produce cardiovascular dysfunction with subsequent weaning failure. The authors describe autonomic responses of critically ill patients ( n = 43) during a 24-hr period of mechanical ventilatory support and during the 24 hr that included their initial spontaneous breathing trial using continuous positive airway pressure. Nearly two thirds of these patients demonstrated abnormal autonomic function and this dysfunction was more severe in those patients who were unable to sustain spontaneous ventilation ( n = 15). With further systematic study, autonomic responses may be useful in the identification of patients who are likely to develop cardiac dysfunction with the resumption of spontaneous breathing.

Full textAbstract:
The investigation of the nature of syncope shows that it is caused by failure of compensatory reflex mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, the determination of specific parameters of autonomic nervous system homeostasis and adaptive potential improves the approach to determining the clinical predictors of the syncope and facilitate its early diagnosis. Purpose — to determine the nature and compare of autonomic dysregulation and functional changes of in children with syncope of different genesis, to identify the circumstances for the formation of insufficient autonomic regulation. Materials and methods. The enrolled subjects were 125 children with syncope, aged 8–17 years, and 41 controls. Children were divided into three groups for analysis: 81 — with vasovagal syncope, 25 — with syncope due to orthostatic hypotension, 19 — with cardiogenic syncope. All children underwent a clinical and functional examination of the cardiovascular system to identify features of autonomic homeostasis. Results. Autonomic imbalance with a predominance of sympathetic autonomic regulation was detected in children of all study groups. The results of functional tests and quantitative integrative indicators showed significantly increased autonomic reactivity with depletion of adaptive potential in all study groups (p<0.05). Children with vasovagal syncope had excessive levels more often (p<0.05), and children with syncope due to orthostatic hypotension had insufficient levels of autonomic support (p<0.05). Violations of cardiorespiratory inter systemic connections were found in children with vasovagal and cardiogenic syncope significantly more often, compared to the control group (p <0.05). Correlations were found between the parameters of the initial autonomic balance, autonomic support of the circulatory system, and the manifestations of syncope in children. Conclusions. The correlation between pathological types of autonomic response and the frequency and duration of syncopal episode indicates a pathogenetic relationship between the state of autonomic support and the ability of the circulatory system to respond to triggers. Therefore, indicators of the autonomic homeostasis and adaptive potential can be applied for predicting the occurrence of syncopal episodes and monitoring of effective management of syncope in children. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of all participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: children, syncope, autonomic nervous system homeostasis, adaptive potential.

The autonomic Internet of Things is the creation of self-management capability in the Internet of Things system by embedding some autonomic properties, with the goal of freeing humans from all detail of the operation and management of the system. At same time, this provides a system to always operate on the best performance. This paper presents a review of the recent studies related to the design of network communication protocol, which can support autonomic Internet of Things. Many of the studies come from the research and development in Wireless Sensor Network protocols, as it becomes one of the key technologies for the Internet of Things. The identified autonomic properties are self-organization, self-optimization, and self-protection. We review some protocols with the objective of energy consumption reduction and energy harvesting awareness, as it can support the self-energy-awareness property. As the result, the protocol designs are mapped according to each autonomic property supported, including protocols for MAC layer, protocols for clustering, protocols for routing, and protocols for security. This can be used to map the advances of communication protocol research for the autonomic Internet of Things and to identify the opportunities for future research.

SummaryThe autonomic nervous system comprises the sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems and plays an integral role in homeostasis. This includes cardiovascular and temperature control, glucose metabolism, gastrointestinal and reproductive function and increasing evidence to support its involvement in the inflammatory response to infection and cancer. Ageing is associated with autonomic dysfunction, and many clinical syndromes associated with older adults are due to inadequate autonomic responses to physiological stressors. The aim of this review is to explore the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and ageing illustrated with examples of maladaptive autonomic responses in a variety of different clinical syndromes including an exploration of autonomic cellular changes. Appropriate investigation and management strategies are outlined, recognizing the fine balance needed to improve symptoms without creating further medical complications.

Aim. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of autonomic regulation and autonomic support in focal frontal and temporal lobe epilepsy.
Materials and Methods. Thirty-six individuals were examined (19 men and 17 women; mean age 33.71.4 years) in the control group (without history of epileptic seizures) and 68 patients (32 men and 36 women, 34.11.5 years) with focal epilepsy (36 patients with frontal lobe epilepsy, of which 32 had temporal lobe epilepsy). Physiological parameters of heart rate variability and of skin sympathetic evoked potentials were evaluated.
Results. Predomination of sympathetic influences in both groups of patients was found. According to the analysis of skin sympathetic evoked potentials, a high activity of the suprasegmental autonomic centers was determined in patients with epilepsy. Based on the results of the correlation analysis, the initial state in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy was characterized by greater intrasystemic tension that reflects the high level of physiological costs. The logit regression analysis model makes it possible to distribute patients with focal epilepsy into groups with different disease courses on the basis of the parameters of the autonomic support of the activity.
Conclusion. In patients with focal epilepsy, predomination of sympathetic influences was observed, as well as greater activity of the suprasegmental centers of the autonomic regulation. Intrasystemic ratios of autonomic regulation parameters demonstrate an increase in the intrasystemic tension and a limitation of functional reserves in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. A complex of parameters of autonomic support allows, based on the logit regression analysis, to distribute patients into groups with different courses of focal epilepsy.

Variations in intrathoracic pressure generated by different ventilator weaning modes may significantly affect intrathoracic hemodynamics and cardiovascular stability. Although several investigators have attributed cardiovascular alterations during ventilator weaning to augmented sympathetic tone, there is limited investigation of changes in autonomic tone during ventilator weaning. Heart rate variability (HRV), the analysis of beat-to-beat changes in heart rate, is a noninvasive indicator of autonomic tone that might be useful in the identification of patients who are at risk for weaning difficulty due to underlying cardiac dysfunction. The authors describe HRV and hemodynamics in response to 3 ventilatory conditions: pressure support (PS) 10 cmH2O, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) 10 cmH2O, and a combination of PS 10 cmH2O and CPAP 10 cmH2O (PS+CPAP) in a group of canines with normal ventricular function. Six canines were studied in the laboratory. Continuous 3-lead electrocardiographic data were collected during baseline (controlled mechanical ventilation) and following transition to each of the ventilatory conditions (PS, CPAP, PS+CPAP) for analysis of HRV. HRV was evaluated using power spectral analysis to define the power under the curve in a very low frequency range (0.0033 to < 0.04 Hz, sympathetic tone), a low frequency range (0.04 to < 0.15 Hz, primarily sympathetic tone), and a high frequency range (0.15 to < 0.40 Hz, parasympathetic tone). A thermodilution pulmonary artery catheter measured cardiac output and right ventricular end-diastolic volume to describe global hemodynamics. There were significant increases in very low frequency power (sympathetic tone) with a concomitant significant reduction in high-frequency power (parasympathetic tone) with exposure to PS+CPAP. These alterations in HRV were associated with significantly increased heart rate and reduced right ventricular end-diastolic volume. Although there was a small but significant increase in cardiac output with exposure to PS, HRV was unchanged. These data indicate that there was a relative shift in autonomic balance to increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic tone with exposure to PS+CPAP. The increase in intrathoracic pressure reduced right ventricular end-diastolic volume (preload). This hemodynamic alteration generated a change in autonomic tone, so that cardiac output could be maintained. Individuals with autonomic and/or cardiovascular dysfunction may not be capable of this type of response and may fail to successfully wean from mechanical ventilation.

This paper reports the results of a single subject study of an adult with sensory defensiveness. Psychophysiological measurements were used to assess the subject's autonomic responsiveness to touch, visual and auditory stimulation. As treatment, the subject self-administered firm tactile input which was, according to sensory integrative principles, expected to have a calming effect. Autonomic responses measured throughout the treatment period were compared to baseline responses. Significant changes in respiration rate, hand temperature and amplitude of skin conductance responses reflected reduced autonomic arousal. The study provides support for 1) the relationship of sensory defensiveness to autonomic arousal, 2) the potential for normalization of autonomic responses following treatment and 3) the use of psychophysiological measures in efficacy studies of sensory defensiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Autonomic computing (AC) is a promising approach to meet basic requirements in the design of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and its principles can be applied to efficiently manage nodes operation and optimize network resources. Middleware for WSNs supports the implementation and basic operation of such networks. In this systematic literature review (SLR) we aim to provide an overview of existing WSN middleware systems that address autonomic properties. The main goal is to identify which development approaches of AC are used for designing WSN middleware system, which allow the self-management of WSN. Another goal is finding out which interactions and behavior can be automated in WSN components. We drew the following main conclusions from the SLR results: (i) the selected studies address WSN concerns according to the self-*properties of AC, namely, self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection; (ii) the selected studies use different approaches for managing the dynamic behavior of middleware systems for WSN, such as policy-based reasoning, context-based reasoning, feedback control loops, mobile agents, model transformations, and code generation. Finally, we identified a lack of comprehensive system architecture designs that support the autonomy of sensor networking.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Working memory (WM) and long-term memory (LTM) serve separate functions. The former is a control process for planning and carrying out behavior that is information-independent, whereas the latter is an information-dependent vast store of knowledge and record of prior events. Both domains benefit from sleep. The overall picture emerging is that NREM sleep supports improvement in WM via strengthening of prefrontal-subcortical control networks, as well as the formation of LTM via thalamocortical sigma activity. Prior research suggests a potential antagonistic relation between the two neural processes during NREM sleep. Yet, how the sleeping brain performs both of these feats remain unknown. Methods Thirty-eight adults (age = 20.85 ± 2.97 years, 19 Females) were enrolled. We used a double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject design to investigate the role of autonomic and central activity on sleep-dependent LTM and WM improvement. We administered zolpidem, a GABA-A agonist, during PSG-recorded night and tested overnight LTM (word-paired-associates) and WM memory (operation-span) changes. We used effective connectivity to explore the causal information flow between central and autonomic sleep features and tested if the magnitude of this influence predicts the trade-off between overnight LTM and WM improvement. Results The intervention selectively suppressed vagal cardiac autonomic activity and increased sleep spindle sigma activity (12-15Hz) during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). Behaviorally, the changes in sigma were associated with increased LTM and decreased WM improvement. Effective connectivity demonstrated a significantly decreased communication from autonomic to central regions with zolpidem compared with placebo, and this decrease in causal influence predicted the behavioral trade-off between LTM and WM. Conclusion Our results suggest evidence for a sleep switch that toggles between spindle-dependent and vagal-dependent processes during NREM. This switch supports enhancement of both LTM and WM during sleep via separate mechanisms. These results are consistent with prior studies reporting an antagonistic relation between neuromodulators governing the two systems, thalamocortical GABA and noradrenergic (NE) activity, respectively.

Antibodies specific for the neuronal ganglionic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) are found in high titer in serum of patients with subacute autonomic failure. This clinical disorder is known as autoimmune autonomic neuropathy (AAN). Rabbits immunized with a neuronal nAChR α3 subunit fusion protein produce ganglionic nAChR antibodies and develop autonomic failure (experimental AAN, or EAAN). We used quantitative measures of autonomic function to demonstrate that this animal model of neuronal nAChR autoimmunity recapitulates the cardinal autonomic features of AAN in humans. The severity of dysautonomia in the rabbit ranges from isolated cardiovagal impairment to severe panautonomic failure with fixed mydriasis, gastroparesis, dry eyes, impaired heart rate variability, hypotension, and low plasma catecholamines. The severity of autonomic failure correlates with serum antibody levels. Immunohistochemical staining of superior cervical ganglia and myenteric plexus neurons demonstrates intact presynaptic nerve terminals and intact postsynaptic neurons containing cytoplasmic nAChR, but lacking surface nAChR. These findings define the autonomic physiology and histopathology of this novel animal model and support the concept that AAN in humans is a disorder of ganglionic cholinergic synaptic transmission caused by ganglionic nAChR antibodies.

This paper focuses on the presentation of the Laws for Media Education, which is the legal basis for the implementation of media education in Austria. The law is embedded into a pedagogical context, whose key characteristics are those of an emancipated, liberating concept of education indebted to ideas of the Enlightenment. Media education is used in a holistic sense, encompassing both the so-called traditional media as well as the new media including the Internet. The major areas are critical reflection and creative potential, individual and social responsibility. The ultimate goal is the autonomous media user as an autonomous citizen. As media education is an interdisciplinary practise, a wide choice of materials both in print and online has been developed to support the teachers: part of the paper is particularly devoted to the beginning and growth of the media education website www.mediamanual.at La legislación para la educación en medios en Austria es el comienzo de este trabajo que encuadra la ley en un contexto pedagógico con características dominantes de conceptos como emancipación y enseñanza liberadora. La educación en medios se utiliza en un sentido holístico, abarcando tanto los medios tradicionales de comunicación como los nuevos medios, incluyendo Internet. Las claves principales que se plantean son la reflexión crítica y la responsabilidad creativa individual y social, así como el papel del usuario de los medios como ciudadano autónomo.

: Background: Work-related stress is a potential cardiovascular risk factor, but the underlying mechanism is not fully explained. The autonomic nervous system control of cardiac function might play a specific role; therefore, monitoring the QT interval in the electrocardiogram can highlight an autonomic imbalance induced by occupational stressors. The aim of our study was to explore the QT interval parameters as early indicators of imbalance of the autonomic cardiac function in relation to work-related stress. Methods: During 2015–2016 annual workplace health surveillance, we measured work-related stress in 484 workers of a logistic support company using the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) tool. We assessed the frequency-corrected QT (QTc) interval and the QT index (QTi) on the electrocardiogram of each participant, and collected demographic and clinical data. We compared the QTc values by the four Karasek’s categories (active/passive jobs, low/high strain job), and by job support (present/lacking), and conducted multivariate analysis to adjust for possible confounders. Results: The results of the multivariate regression analysis showed that QTc was prolonged among workers operating at a specific site where stress level was found to be elevated. Regular physical activity showed a beneficial effect against QTc prolongation. We did not observe an effect on QTc length by the cross-combined Karasek’s categories of job control, job demand, and job support. Conclusions: Our study suggests subclinical effects of conditions associated with work-related stress on the autonomic regulation of cardiac function. Further research is warranted to elucidate the combined effect of work organization and lifestyle factors on autonomic cardiac function.

Background: Infants with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) often develop neurodevelopmental disabilities. Cognitive abilities are associated with vagally mediated autonomic function. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) interventions enhance infant neurodevelopment and autonomic function in other high-risk populations. Aim: To examine the effects of a neonatal SSC intervention on learning and autonomic function in 3-month-old infants: infants with CCHD who received neonatal SSC ( n = 10), typically developing (TD) infants ( n = 16), and infants with CCHD without SSC ( n = 10). Methods: This secondary data analysis measured cognitive function using the mobile paradigm (MP), a classic measure of learning based on operant conditioning. Autonomic function was assessed with heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV). Data were analyzed with repeated-measures general linear mixed modeling with α = .10 for this exploratory study. Results: Learning rates were TD = 75%, cardiac-SSC = 70%, and cardiac-control = 40%. Learners demonstrated significant reductions in HRV during the MP; nonlearners exhibited no change. TD and cardiac-SSC groups exhibited increases in HR and reductions in HRV during the MP. No significant changes occurred in the cardiac-control group. Nonlinear HRV during the MP differed only in the TD group. Conclusions: Findings suggest improvements in cognitive and autonomic development in 3-month-old infants with CCHD who received neonatal SSC. Learning and autonomic function results in infants with CCHD who had not received SSC suggest reduced capacity to muster the physiologic resources to carry out this cognitive task. Findings provide preliminary evidence in support of implementation of SSC with infants with CCHD and support additional research.

Full textAbstract:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons. Autonomic nervous abnormalities, including sympathetic hyperactivity and sympathovagal imbalance, have been found in both early and advanced stages of ALS. In early stage, the dysfunction may be subclinical. Occasionally, elevated blood pressure or heart rate and increased sweating may be observed. In advanced stage when ventilators are required, the sympathetic hyperactivity may lead to hypertensive crisis without counter-regulation of heart rate, followed by the consecutive circulatory collapse, known as the ‘autonomic storm’. The symptoms of ‘autonomic storm’ are similar to that of ‘baroreflex failure’, and ‘autonomic storm’ indicates poor prognosis and may result in sudden death. Careful evaluation and individual treatment are strongly suggested, although appropriate therapeutic approaches have not been established. Causative central nervous lesions remain to be elucidated, although the limbic system may be involved. The autonomic dysfunction further supports the concept that ALS is a multisystem-degenerative disease.

A total of 396 patients with stage 1 cholelithiasis were examined. The results of hepatobiliary ultrasonography, multifractional duodenal probing, followed by macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical examinations of bile (the total concentration of bile acids and cholesterol, by subsequently calculating the cholate-cholesterol ratio) were used to verify the diagnosis. The functional state of the hepatobiliary system was evaluated by dynamic echocholecystography and dynamic hepatobiliscintigraphy. To characterize the emotional state, the investigators applied indicators of the motivational sphere and orientation of an individual and his/her mental state, such as reactive anxiety, personal anxiety, the levels of depression and neuroticism, and intra-, extraversion. The autonomic state was determined from autonomic tone, autonomic reactivity, and autonomic support. Results. Biliary lithogenesis was found to be related to psychoemotional and autonomic states. In cholelithiasis, there was an increase in reactive and personal anxiety and a predominance of diminished parasympathetic and perverted sympathetic autonomic reactivity. The signs of emotional instability and autonomic dystonia were shown to increase with age and the degree of an autonomic response depended on the severity of mental and emotional disorders. Conclusion. The results of these comprehensive studies can reveal new pathophysiological patterns of lithogenic bile formation and enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis.

"Partial Body Weight Support Benefits the Function of Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Autonomic Nerve in the Early Stage of Heart Failure Rehabilitation." Journal of Medical Imaging and Health Informatics 8, no. 9 (December 1, 2018): 1871–74. http://dx.doi.org/10.1166/jmihi.2018.2534.
Full textAbstract:
Goal: To investigate the clinical benefits of partial body weight support for the function of Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac autonomic nerve in the early stage of Heart failure rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: We selected 90 patients with heart failure, divided into observation group (n = 45) and control group (n = 45). Both patients had the conventional drug therapy, while the observation group had the partial body weight support additionally within the 3 months treatment period. Serological examination includes brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and aldosterone. Echocardiography detects left ventricular morphology, cardiac ejection function (EF) and cardiac autonomic nerve function. Minnesota quality of life scale (MHL) evaluates the life quality of the patients. Results: Before any treatment, there is no significant difference of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), aldosterone, cardiac autonomic nerve function and the Minnesota quality of life scale (MHL) (P > 0.05). After treatment, outcome measures declined, including serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and aldosterone (P < 0.01), LVESD and ESV (P < 0.01), LVEDD and EDV (P > 0.05). Outcome measures raised, including SV, CI, EF%, ΔD%. Among them, EF% had significant difference with P value < 0.05, and ΔD% with P value < 0.01. Both LF and HF raised, but LF/HF declined. The Minnesota quality of life scale (MHL) is significantly lower than before. Conclusion: Partial body weight support obviously reduces serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and aldosterone, as well as improves the function of cardiopulmonary and cardiac autonomic nerve of the patients with heart failure, which at last improves the life quality.

Agricultural Economics (Zemědělská ekonomika) 68, No. 7 (July 22, 2022): 239–49. http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/92/2022-agricecon.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of the paper is to research the interrelationships between variables – the support of the direct manager (SDM), work engagement (WE), organisational trust (OT), and job autonomy (JA) in enterprises operating in agriculture. Both direct and indirect effects affecting the increase in work engagement of agrarian employees are analysed. For the data collection, a questionnaire survey among the employees of agrarian enterprises in Slovakia was used (680 respondents). For testing, we applied the theoretical research model and purposed hypotheses with the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method through the SmartPLS 3.0 software. The findings point out the existence of a statistically significant relationship between SDM and WE, which is, though, weaker than the overall effect by involving the mediation variables. Both mediation variables (OT and JA) separately increase the overall effect, but their common mediation influence mainly has a substantial significance. The intensity of the researched relationship increases with the length of employment. In the case of the employee's age and the size of the agrarian enterprise, there was a negative moderating effect on the relationship of the main proven variables.

Autonomic Computing is an emerging computing paradigm used to create computer systems capable of self-management in order to overcome the rapidly growing complexity of computing systems management. To possess self-* properties, there must be mechanisms to support self-awareness, that is an autonomic system should be able to perceive the abnormality of its components. After abnormality is checked, processes of self-healing, self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-protection must be completed to guarantee the system works correctly and continuously. In role-based collaboration (RBC), roles are the major media for interaction, coordination, and collaboration. A role can be used to check if a player behaves well or not. This paper investigates the possibility of using roles and their related mechanisms to diagnose the behavior of agents, and facilitate self-* properties of a system.

Full textAbstract:
In this review, current understanding of the control of autonomic function is outlined and its development over the last 50 years highlighted. Using the control of the cardiovascular system as the primary tool, the importance of the patterning of autonomic outflows is shown to be crucial in both homeostasis and behaviour. Technical advances have made it possible to obtain a clearer idea of how the central nervous system evolves patterns of autonomic discharge that optimise autonomic changes to support motor and behavioural responses. The specific roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic neurones and premotor neurones are surveyed and the importance of their roles in integrating afferent inputs that result from peripheral sensory inputs and drive from multiple levels of the neuraxis is outlined. The autonomic control of the viscera, including the urinogenital organs and other organs is discussed briefly. The current ability to use animal models to monitor and modulate autonomic neural discharge and simultaneously co-relate this with end-organ activity is shown to have translational potential. There is every prospect that these studies will lead to the identification of new therapies for pathophysiological conditions.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate vegetative maintenance (VM) in children with small cardiac abnormalities (SCA) using a wedge-orthostatic test (WOT). The article describes the research results of 170 children with SCA. VM was estimated with clinic orthostatic test (COT). The group of patients consisted of 106 children with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and 64 children with false tendons (FT) in the left cardiac ventricular. We used absolute and relative statistical methods with Microsoft Excel program for this study. We found out that hypersympathycotonic type of VM was prevalent at MVP (57,6%). For FT it was only 37,5%. Pathologic type of VM with insufficient activation of sympathetic adrenal system was noted only in 21,2% of patients with SCA. This species is more common with FT (23.4%) than with MVP (19.8%). Hyper diastolic type was present only in 9,4% patients with MVP and in 3,1% with FT, respectively. Mixed types were rare noted at SCA without specification for MVP or FT (4.7% for MVP and 3.2% for FT). Thus, the revealed types of COT show the disorder of VM, which characterizes the reducing of adaptive capacity in such children.
