Advances in digital media support a form of inquiry called cognitive ethnography. Cognitive ethnography employs traditional ethnographic methods to build knowledge of a community of practice and then applies this knowledge to the micro-level analysis of specific episodes of activity. The principal aim of cognitive ethnography is to reveal how cognitive activities are accomplished in real-world ...

Side by side with a diminishing birth-rate we see an immense increase in the number of books on infant feeding and the diseases of children, till one may imagine that eventually the output of the latter may equal or exceed that of the former. Meanwhile, we may observe that in general the teaching inculcated in the numerous volumes on infant feeding, though excellent, is apt to be monotonous. It...

The operation of attention in the visual field has often been compared to a spotlight. We propose that a more apt analogy is that of a zoom or variable-power lens. Two experiments focused upon the following questions: (1) Can the spatial extent of the attentional focus be made to vary in response to precues? (2) As the area of the attentional focus increases, is there a decrease in processing e...

This master thesis presents overview on advanced persistent threat (APT) definition and explanation of it. One of the most dangerous APT named: ”Snake” will be presented along with other similar APT’s. Various virtual environments like e.g. VirtualBox will be investigated in order to understand how APT malware behaves in these environments. The central focus of this master thesis lies on detect...

In this paper, we propose a strategy for the selection of the hidden layer size in feedforward neural network models. The procedure herein presented is based on comparison of different models in terms of their out of sample predictive ability, for a specified loss function. To overcome the problem of data snooping, we extend the scheme based on the use of the reality check with modifications ap...

The pyramidal tract (PT) is a major neural tract that controls voluntary movements in the human brain. The PT has several collateral pathways, including the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT), which passes through the medial lemniscus location at the midbrain and pons. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) allows visualization and estimation of the APT in three dimensions. In this mini-review, eight ...

Objective: Dynamic psychotherapies are effective in treating anxiety disorders. However, little is known about their effectiveness in treating Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD). The present research aimed to examine the effectiveness of Brief Empathic Psychotherapy (BEP) and anxiety-regulating dynamic therapy or Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) in reducing depression and anxiety in a sample o...

Recently, specific attention has been paid to aptamers, short DNA or RNA, as a tool for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In the present study MCS nanogels were prepared by Myristate: chitosan at 1:9 ratio and were characterized by several techniques. A selected ssDNA aptamer(Apt) capable of detecting LNCaP cells was linked to Myristilated chitosan nanogels (Apt-MCS) by glutaraldehyde and loaded wi...

Introduction: The diagnostic work-up of allergic rhinitis (AR) is first and foremost based on the combination of clinical history data and results of skin prick tests (SPT). Other tests, including specific IgE measurement, nasal challenge, and, as a third option, component resolved diagnosis or basophil activation test, may be useful when the diagnosis is difficult because of polysensitization ...

treatment for all enteric cases is that one is apt to treat the disease only and forget the patient, lor in medical treatment the patient always requires careful study on account of " idiosyncrasy." Again, the body has a natural tendency towards recovery, and this must always be borne in: mind less in the effort to cut short the disease this power be impaired. Putting aside the question of trea...
