Unplugged is a school-based prevention programme designed and tested in the EU-Dap trial. The programme consists of 12 units delivered by class teachers to adolescents 12-14 years old. It is a strongly interactive programme including a training of personal and social skills with a specific focus on normative beliefs. The aim of this work is to define the theoretical model of the program, the co...

IMPORTANCE Umbilical cord milking (UCM) is suggested to improve neonatal outcomes. OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of UCM in full-term and preterm neonates. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Database of Clinical Trials, the clinicaltrials.gov database, and the reference list of retrieved articles ...

The precise temporal control of gene expression is critical for specifying neuronal identity in the Drosophila central nervous system (CNS). A particularly interesting class of genes are those expressed at stereotyped times during the cell lineage of identified neural precursors (neuroblasts): these are termed 'sublineage' genes. Although sublineage gene function is vital for CNS development, t...

The Uruguayan continental margin (UCM), located in the Southwestern Atlantic margin’s subtropical region, is positioned a critical transitional region regarding global ocean circulation (Río de la Plata (RdlP) outflow and Brazil-Malvinas Confluence), as also reflected seafloor features (northernmost distribution of large depositional contourite system RdlP paleovalley). This complex oceanograph...

Objectives: Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) approach evaluates and activates the spinal stabilizers to optimize the performance of posture and respiratory system. This study investigated the effects of DNS breathing exercises on upper and lower chest wall mobility (UCM and LCM), trunk extensor endurance, and thoracic kyphosis in a group of sedentary students with poor posture. Method...

Double-O-tube shield tunneling technology has gained extensive attention due to saving space and the high cost-effectiveness of underground construction method. Estimating predicting DOT tunneling-induced soil displacements is essential prevent damage nearby aboveground structures in densely populated urban areas. This study develops a device for modeling based on transparent image processing t...

The Use Case Map (UCM) notation enables the use of graphical scenarios to model grey-box views of a system’s operational requirements and behaviour, in context. The scenario traversal mechanism is the most popular UCM analysis technique but its current tool support in UCMNav is limited and hard to use, and the high-coupling of its features makes it difficult to maintain and evolve. This paper p...

In [1], Bos introduces a general scheme of underspecification for a wide range of logics. In his approach he breaks down a formula into its parts and introduces variables, called holes, on argument positions. Each part gets a unique handle, called label. The possible connections of holes to labeled parts are represented with a new type of scope constraint. A plugging is a function that assigns ...
