Aim: It is recommended that dysfunctional voiding diagnosis should made by the repeated uroflowmetry simultaneously pelvic floor electromyography (UF-EMG) + post void residual measurements. However, there no evaluation system for UF-EMG parameters regarding clinical diagnosis, follow up and treatment of these patients. In our study, we aimed to create a new grading using parameters.

n An), and |a| ∈ Z denotes the grading. The bracket and differential are required to respect the grading, in that for homogeneous elements, |[a, b]| = |a| + |b| while |∂a| = |a| − 1. The adjoint action of A on itself is given by ade(a) = [e, a] and acts on the grading by ade : An−→An+|e|. In this notation (2) and (3) can be rewritten as • (2) (Jacobi identity) ad[a,b] = [ada, adb] • (3) (Leibni...

We discuss fermion grading symmetry for quasi-local systems with graded commutation relations. We introduce a criterion of spontaneously symmetry breaking (SSB) for general quasi-local systems. It is formulated based on the idea that each pair of distinct phases (appeared in spontaneous symmetry breaking) should be disjoint not only for the total system but also for every complementary outside ...

High school grades are the most frequently used predictors in college and university admission decisions. As such, educators and policymakers are extremely interested in the consistency of grading standards and policies across secondary schools. There has always been some concern over the comparability of grades (Adelman, 1983; Camara, 1994), and with increased competition among a growing propo...

The aim of the paper is to discuss the concept of 'severity grading' in relation to impairment in leprosy, and to describe the use of an impairment sum score, the Eyes, Hands, Feet (EHF) score, as an indicator of the severity and the evolution of impairment over time. The use of an impairment sum score, the EHF score, is illustrated using data on impairment at diagnosis and after a 2-year inter...

As many others, we too are developping a Massive Online Open Course or MOOC. This MOOC will teach recursive programming to beginners and will heavily use an already existing infrastructure for mechanical grading (Queinnec, 2010). This position paper discusses how these two components are combined in order to increase students’ involvement. Developping a MOOC is now a common activity in the Acad...

Numerous studies have documented what is known as the Pygmalion effect, in which students perform better or worse simply because teachers expect them to do so (see, for example, Rosenthal and Jacobson 1968). In the modern education system, such expectations are set not just by teachers but by a range of evaluators, many of whom have no direct contact with the student, such as admissions officer...

In this month's issue, investigators Charles V. Shorten and Marijane K. Hooven of West Chester University in Pennsylvania report on a method that may give a more realistic measure of the exposure of preschool children to lead-contaminated dust [EHP 108:663-666]. Shorten and Hooven set out to assess the relationship between 168 preschool children attending Philadelphia Head Start programs and va...
