[ "The comparative toxicity of cocaine and its metabolites in conscious rats.", "\nThe metabolites of cocaine, benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester, have been considered pharmacologically inactive when administered systemically. ", "However, recent in vitro studies suggest that this may not be true. ", "The current study was designed to evaluate the systemic toxicity of cocaine and its metabolites when administered systemically to awake rats fitted with catheters for long-term monitoring. ", "Cocaine, norcocaine, cocaethylene, benzoylecgonine, and ecgonine methyl ester were infused intravenously to produce sequential behavioral alterations and central nervous system and cardiovascular toxic effects. ", "Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were monitored continuously. ", "Plasma and tissue samples were analyzed for all compounds by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. ", "The dose of norcocaine necessary to produce toxic effects was smaller than that of cocaine and cocaethylene. ", "Benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester did not produce toxic manifestations at infusion rates that produced toxicity in the cocaine, norcocaine, and cocaethylene groups. ", "Furthermore, 30- and 60-fold higher doses of benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester, respectively, were necessary to produce only mild neurobehavioral changes. ", "Benzoylecgonine was not lethal even at doses 100 times greater than cocaine. ", "These results indicate that benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester are not as toxic as cocaine, norcocaine, or cocaethylene when administered intravenously to pharmacologically naive rats." ]

", "The founding members wanted an organization that did not discriminate among race and to also include unionized women workers.", "\n\nThe impetus for the formation of CLUW came in June 1973 when women labor union leaders, led by Olga Madar, who later became first president, of the United Auto Workers and Addie Wyatt of the United Food and Commercial Workers met to discuss the formation of a new AFL-CIO body.

", " Coalitions and alliances were generated among the women's and labor movements. ", "The unions were altered from within and demonstrated \"unobtrusive mobilization,\" a method that accomplished feminist goals. ", "CLUW's advancement on issues like childcare, pay equity, and sexual harassment helped develop a feminist labor agenda. ", "For example, when day care workers went on strike in 1989 in West Berlin, the strike consisted of day care workers. ", "The strike was assumed to be a labor affair rather than a women's concern. ", "Therefore, leaders in the women's movement did not perceive that it was their responsibility. ", "The day care worker's strike was an issue for women, but the day care workers gave women the opportunity to work and earn some sort of income even though the wages were still low. ", "Miscommunication between the labor and women's movement was a factor that played a role in the strike's failure. ", "Had there been a bridging organization like CLUW, then improved developments could have resulted. ", " Bridging organizations establish the blueprint for future partnerships. ", "Women's labor, civil rights, and other social movement organizations formed coalitions with CLUW.", "\n\nImpact\n\nCLUW represented networks of union women even though the organization itself contained few members and staff. ", "The National Executive Board members were very active with the women's movement, the civil rights movement, and the labor movement at all different local, regional, and national levels. ", "CLUW members were very involved with other organizations, in addition to the CLUW. ", "CLUW united the goals of the women's and labor movements by addressing issues such as childcare, sexual harassment, and pay equity. ", "Working-class women and women of color were attracted to CLUW because it was able to touch upon the interests that women had, such as worker's issues, family issues and labor issues. ", "because mainstream second wave feminist organizations had alienated working-class women and women of color by not addressing issues in these ways.", "\n\nDiversity\n\nThe CLUW is a very diverse organization with respect to not only education and occupation but also gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. ", "In 1994, 30% of CLUW were women of color. ", " 20% of members were African American, 6% were Hispanic and Latina, 1% were Asian American, 2% were Native American, and 2% considered themselves as another ethnicity.

", "CLUW wanted to include men in their organization to demonstrate that they are not anti-male and that they are accepting of everyone.", "\n\nPrograms\n\nCLUW holds educational conferences the day before each National Executive\nBoard (NEB) meeting. ", "The conferences cover a wide variety of topics, from\nequal pay to organizing new workers to family-friendly collective\nbargaining language.", "\n\nIn 1979, CLUW established the CLUW Center for Education and Research.

", "Being the optimist that I am, I thought that maybe some other day, when the perfect mood strikes and when I am at the climax of my most intellectual self, I could possibly and definitely formulate a feasible idea. \"", "I did it before, why not now\", I convinced myself. ", "So, I head out of the mall, but the weather seems to prevent me from going home. ", "Suddenly, the rain was pouring outside so I was stranded inside the mall. ", "This caused me to think that maybe that was the start of a serendipitous moment. ", "Maybe it was destiny taking over so that I could stay a little longer in the mall and extend my search for that golden idea.", "\n\nSo, I toured the mall, from foot to head. ", "Just like Magellan who voyaged around the world to look for that precious spices, I embarked into an expedition in search for a golden idea. ", "I walked around the first to the last floor, with eyes rolling all over observing every establishment, every food stand, restaurant, services, etc. ", "Then I went back from the 4th to the ground floor just as observant as I am when I was escalating. ", "But, still, my efforts were all in vain. ", "No idea came up. ", "And just like Magellan, I went home defeated and frustrated (oh, wait! ", "I forgot Magellan didn't manage to go home).", "\n\nLater on, I realized that that's why it is called serendipity walk because it is something that is brought about by accident or an unforeseen circumstance. ", "On that note, I have figured out that maybe I just don't need to pressure myself to look for that idea because sometimes things come when you least expect them to do so. ", "Or, maybe I need a literal accident, like falling from the fourth floor of the mall or be hit by a speeding taxi and stuffs like that. ", "So, I finally went home, after the rain has subsided a bit.", "\n\nAfter my Physics class, which ended late in the evening, I went to my dorm. ", "It was a very excruciating day. ", "I was seriously longing for a place to sleep on on that instance.

", "I guess serendipity really lived up to its name. ", "So, I had no choice but to continue brainstorming with myself, because I was also afraid I might forgot that idea if I'll wait for the next sun to shine. ", "Now, this is what I came up with, if you have a problem with this idea, then it is your problem not mine, so better try to solve it on your own too.

", "There was this time when I was in a grocery store with my friends, they were all in line to the cashier for them to pay for their goods.

", "The problem was that setting the price was manual and there are a huge number of different products in a grocery store and even the same products vary on their prices depending on the size or whatever. ", "It needs more effort and it’s quite tiresome for the employee, so I thought why not make it a little more faster using technology. ", "As I know a department store uses a database for all the cashier counters where all the information about all the products, including their prices, is saved. ", "I thought why not put a bar code scanner and a mini screen in a price gun, with this you can scan any item and the price will be prompted, the price gun will have a WiFi detector or Bluetooth that will allow it to request product data from the database. ", "The user will then have the option to set the price to be printed on the tag or sticker. ", "With this the work will be doubled and be faster than the manual, the price gun will also serve two different purposes, it can work as a price scanner or price verifier because there also times when there are item with no price tags and the customer will have to ask the employees. ", "Of course the employees cannot memorize all of the information of all the items.", "When I presented this idea to our facilitator he said that the device already existed that it’s already been used on some malls around the country. ", "Too bad that it does not happen to be an original idea from me but my ideas don’t end there. ", "There was also another business idea that came into my mind, a techno business idea. ", "I am actually a member of a school club that does cosplays, so as cosplayers we do most of our props and add several details to our costumes.

", "What this printer will do is that it will provide the user all the colors that we could imagine, the selection of the color will be done using the mini computer screen attached to the device. ", "The machine will now need only one color of thread, which is white, and if you wish to use a different color you can select from the color scale and then the color will be printed on the thread, thus giving the thread a different color.

[ "Activist, anarchist, social commentator and political organizer, scott crow has over three decades of experience working across communities in order to foster liberation, autonomy, resistance to oppression, and self-direction. ", "Summarizing his work does little compared to seeing what he has done; take a moment and check out his website. ", "In sharp comparison to many philosophers, theorists, and academic radicals, crow develops his theory by synthesizing lived experience with texts, ideas, and ideologies drawn from multiple disciplines. ", "Lived experiences that help remove real world oppressions have priority. ", "Essentialisms and academic code talking do not.", "\n\nWhile Gramsci’s notion of organic intellectuals is perhaps one way to frame the kind of thinking and work that crow does, another is along the public intellectual lines of Edward Said. ", "At a more fundamental level, crow’s social and political work is centered on praxis: the only meaningful theories are those that lead to actions, whether personal or group. ", "As such, they are the only ones worth pursuing. ", "In and of itself, this positions crow mostly outside the scope or interest of many academic researchers, theoriticians, or practitioners. ", "While many academics are interested in potential, possibility, or thought experiments, crow wants to focus on shifting and improving material experience for others if possible.", "\n\nIn his work as an activist, writer, and engaged intellectual, crow has encountered, collaborated, and participated with academic researchers and their projects. ", "While some have value, either short term for the development of new radical intellectuals or documenting social movements, other projects and efforts have been parasitic, exploitative, dismissive, or condescending. ", "The piece’s point is not to denigrate the honest, intentional, and purposeful work of academics who are also activists, radicals, and movement members. ", "Instead, as an outsider, crow can help academic activists understand some of the problematic tensions involved with researching radical social movements and people. ", "Additionally, he can help us identify where and how our methods, assumptions, and behaviors continue to reflect and express colonialist, extractive, and elitist practices.", "\n\nIf social or poltical academic research and work is going to be relevant to more than themselves and their community of scholars, academics need to look to experienced activists from multiple cultures and communities and ask what their theories are, how they were developed, and then attribute the results—often after decades of costly financially, physically, and emotionally struggles—to those who have helped developed them. ", "As crow indicates in the interview, it appears that many academics seem to be more interested in harvesting or extracting interesting content to pad their papers or support their theories and claims than they are in behaving in equitable, liberatory, and ethical ways. ", "In other words, some scholars thieve from movements, convert into academic capital, and seek individual gain while ignoring, obfuscating, or denying that the majority of the labor was done by working people, working activists, who had few to none of the protections afforded many academic researchers.", "\n\nAn additional goal of this interview is to work to center and platform the voice of an activist and theorist who offers radical and revolutionary visions of how our world could change and why we need to change. ", "Quite possibly we, as academics, might stop trying to prescribe or define how social change should take place, or what the best means are, and instead listen to what communities are asking for, provide as much support and resources as we and our institutions can, and then continue to revise our views and understanding based on the lived experience of oppressed communities as well as our own experiences.", "\n\nWould you discuss your view on, your relationship with, theory?", "\n\nI grew up working class poor, and I have always worked for, and through, the developmental ideas that I have created whether it was art, business or politcs. ", "I’ve always muddled through ideas and experiences, even if I didn’t have the answers. ", "I was driven by questions towards a true praxis – action, reflection, and then action. ", "A synthesis of theory and action- with warts and all.", "\n\nEven though what I have been developing can be considered non-traditional and possibly very impoverished “theory.” ", "I have been consciously reflecting and building on all of these ideas for decades – taking disparate ideas and putting them together novelly, and framing it in a language for that speaks to us all in developing new synthesis of old histories and thoughts. ", "It’s been a fucking lot of practical work, not just theoretical. ", "My theories have ONLY come out of practical applications and a lifetime of mistakes I am always learning from.", "\n\nStokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) used to say, just do the organizing work first and then later you can develop the theories around it. ", "I would add that all of us at some levels engage in activities that aren’t completely thought out, then later we construct the narratives about how, why and what ways we engaged or reflected on them. ", "And of course adding a lot of learned lessons along the way. ", "My experiences through cooperatives, business, music, activism and organizing have echoed that. ", "An interviewer recently told me, “You know, you’re a very American anarchist, the way you look at these ideas.” ", "It is true, because that is what I know, because that’s what I am raised and lived in and there is still validity in that praxis. ", "I understand when I talk about this it’s from my limited world view.", "\n\nWhat’s your experience been with academics?", "\n\nFor the last nine years I’ve been interviewed by a lot of academics of all types, which for me was a crash course on learning about academic subculture and institutions. ", "It’s been ironic since I’m a high school dropout. ", "I didn’t know shit about any of this insular world before, like how tenure , chair-ships or fucking any of it worked! ", "Adjunct professor? ", "These are words that were never-ever in my vocabulary because it didn’t intersect in my life with meaning or context except as an outsider who read journal articles and books until the last decade.", "\n\nBut now, because of those interviews and meeting so many more people in those fields, when I became serious about writing, all of a sudden real writers or academics wanted to talk to me! (", "laughs) I was meeting people who were getting their PhDs or Master’s, or whatever. ", "I’ve probably been interviewed 30 times for academic thesis- often as an anonymous source- I found out later which was very frustrating, but also cited as a source too.", "\n\nWould you be interested in discussing the periIs of academic parasitism in the field of anarchy or anarchism?", "\n\nI think that some people approach the engagements in a more parasitic way. ", "It’s all about extraction and arranging of information for them based on others’ ideas, work and lives. ", "I’ve found it in all research disciplines including wide ranging subjects like: anarchy, animal rights, radical environmentalism, decentralized disaster relief, activism, guns and violence, or other leftist kind of subjects. ", "The overall approaches by aspiring or tenured academics are very parasitic and less than helpful. ", "I say this even if I have seen some really good analysis or history pieces come out of these methods. ", "I can only think of a handful of examples where if I didn’t fight for recognition of my ideas and work that the academics would claim as their own. ", "I think Dr. David Pellow’s book’ Total Liberation’ or Dr. John P. Clarks ‘ The Impossible Community’ are pretty watershed in being transparent and letting people have their own voices and recognizing the contributions. ", "And I’m not just saying that because I appear in these books. ", "Had I not been in them I’d still think they were both watershed books in these approaches in lookng at the other voices in them.", "\n\nThe part I have a problem is when a student or researcher is doing that ethnographic survey or whatever, and they fucking interview me and they use my work as a longtime organizer, as a thinker, as a philosopher or any of those things, and don’t quote me or cite my writing. ", "They don’t give proper credit, but they just say “an activist said,” or “this is what an anarchist was thinking about this,” or some other vagaries in the descriptions.", "\n\nI’m like, fuck that! ", "I developed this – it’s my life’s work, this is my life, you’re just going to school to create yourself. ", "It’s infuriating, you know. ", "Or, if they barely even cite what they’ve taken from my books, essays or interviews. ", "It’s not just because I think I’m so personally important, but I think that it becomes dishonest. ", "It erases the person, and how they got to those ideas. ", "It’s kind of a neo-colonial mentality. ", "I know marginalized people have had this critique, rightly so, for decades too. ", "I am in no way unique in this treatment, but I continually engage within some academic subcultures so I continually see it repeated. ", "It’s definitely a more ethically challenged part of academia.", "\n\nWhat do you think that does to other people who are doing the same kind of work? ", "Do you see this as a form of – is this theft, is it laziness? ", "Does it incentivize, dis-incentivize activism? ", "I’m just curious what some of the impacts are on people who look at this, or they witness this going on.", "\n\nI think it can be OK if you’re doing ethnographic studies or mapping, and you don’t want to quote new or low-level activsts, or someone just beginning in what they do, because they haven’t developed their work, or analysis,-unless it’s around something that happens to have significance or immediate impact on others-that might be open to circumstance that need the reflections of that particular time; for example, writings right after a disaster or major event. ", "But if you’re talking to people who have been around for 10, 20, or 30 years, or have written literature and you don’t quote their work, you would never do that with anybody else! ", "If it was Ursula Le Guin or someone like that, you would quote her! ", "You’re not just saying that “this American writer thought this one time.”", "\n\nAgain, not seeing all activists, communities or societies as resources to be extracted, or not seeing every activist’s engagements on the same levels, I think are steps towards moving past the colonizing mentality. ", "It’s a beginning to recognize that there are different levels of engagement and expression in it. ", "Sadly I’m not the only person that has this discontent with it. ", "I’ve had other friends-and of course read lots of essays critiquing these problems in academia from anarchist academics who want to challenge these issues; it’s still a problem for other activists who may not be published in their work, but they’ve written a few things or made videos instead, and they have developed analysis and praxis from decades of engagements that they often don’t get credit for in journals and papers.", "\n\nThe other piece that I want to bring up is the disrespect of people’s time often happens-from either lack of experience or unrealistic expectations of the researchers, or because they only see the subject as a resource for their research: which makes us almost disposable as subjects. ", "I’ve done hundreds of interviews in the last 35 years, so when I see a list of interview questions I have a pretty good idea how long it could take from experience, but most people don’t. ", "Too often I see researchers thinking ‘ I’m gathering my theoretical work, so I want to get as much information as I can.’ ", "So they end up asking a lot of irrelevant questions or going down series of questions far outside of the scope of the initial project only to use a paragraph or a sentence from the multi-hour interview.", "\n\nBut my time-and other interview subjects’- is valuable, even if only to us. ", "These days to take three or four hours I would need to see deeper value in the research to block the time out. ", "But if they don’t even ask me or even say ‘Hey, I think I’m unrealistic in my research goals…”\n\nAll of this is to remind researchers and academics that these realities of extraction and not of giving credit rooted in others’ lives, works, or ideas to make their own academic careers is unethical at the least, but is largely theft and erasure of us developing valid theories outside the towers of academia at the least.", "\n\nDo you think these issues are inherent, or isolated within academia?", "\n\nI think it’s inherent. ", "It’s the model. ", "I think it’s more institutional, backed up by the rules of academia, but it’s also cultural, it’s transmitted and reinforced subtly by deep channels already carved out in the past, so others follow the same paths. ", "I wouldn’t blame individual researchers; I think it’s the cultural model to produce within academia specifically. ", "And if I could note this is funny to talk to me, because I’m totally outside of this world except for this one little space where I intersect with it as a subject. ", "I fully understand that to get their degrees to get tenure, to get professorships, academics and professors have to publish; which is the crux of it all. ", "It’s ironic to me that while many academics are developing novel or innovative theories they are not using novel or even liberatory approaches to their research. ", "Instead, they’re using capitalist models of seemingly efficient information extraction and perpetuating the social orders they may be writing about challenging in social or political movements.", "\n\nCould you talk about other approaches to developing theory, other ways to use language when doing theory?", "\n\nOne easy step is to stop using the obfuscated words, the internal language that happens within academia that is fucking just outside of the rest of the world. ", "Of all the subcultures I’ve paid attention to, academia is literally littered with such a subcultural, ossified language. ", "Everybody tries to pile on more complicated phrasings and concepts to impress their peers, to sound more legitimate or because ‘them’s the rules.’ ", "All of which are bad ideas for perpetuating bad ideas as far as I’m concerned. ", "There are far more words than necessary to explain everything in these papers. ", "And secretly I think everyone in it knows, but just continues anyway. ", "But the reason I hate the language is because it has no connection to any reality outside of that academic subculture of obscure journals. ", "It has no relevance to everyday people. ", "Those theories don’t mean a fucking thing to me or anybody around me, or to people like my mom or the brother and sister on the block, nobody! ", "And that is the biggest issue I have with it all, is that it’s in-and-of for itself. ", "You know, it’s like the whole culture sets it up, the extraction, and just so it can self-perpetuate without giving back or supporting those who are written about.", "\n\nI would credit people within the Institute for Anarchist Studies, like Lara and Paul Messersmith — Glavin and Kevin Van Meter — for helping me with recognizing this part about the isolation from the rest of social movements that comes from obfuscation of language in academia, and to really think about it and differentiate liberatory approaches to research. ", "The IAS really helped me think about having theory that has practical application to it, whether you’ve done the actions first and you develop a body of theory around it, or whether you develop theories and you put it into actions. ", "But the recognition that almost all social or political theories need to have practical and concrete understanding and outcomes for real people or situations. ", "It can’t just be in an academic’s head in an institution somewhere or locked away in unaccessible papers.", "\n\nI can, for example, sit around all day and theorize whether we’re part of a computer simulation-which seems to be really big in pop science philosophy these days. ", "Sure it’s fun, but that doesn’t have anything to do with feeding people, stopping oppression, or trying to build towards a greater sense of autonomous and resilient, networked communities. ", "It doesn’t change anyone’s material life in any real or meaningful way, yet academics and philosophers are building careers on ideas that have no application. ", "There is a place for that type of imaginative thinking that has no practical impacts, yet, and it’s needed, but it can’t be the overarching method across all disciplines-especially ones that involve social or political philosophies.", "\n\nWe should demand more from researchers and academics, to shift the culture away from appropriation , and obfuscation of peoples’ lives for the researchers own academic gains, but to express them in realities that are supportive and build power for others, and to make them available for everyone to gain insight and shared knowledge from. ", "To me those are steps towards academic theories, processes, and approaches that are liberatory.", "\n\nInterview & introduction by Luther Blissett" ]

[ "Baseball Essay Sample\n\nEach of us knows the USA as a country with a huge number of national customs and traditions, including related to sports ones. ", "Many of them have their roots deep in history, got over many changes and were influenced by different factors and aspects, so they become those that the whole world has become accustomed to witnessing. ", "One of them – baseball – can rightfully be considered as American national symbol. ", "Quite often, while watching American movies or reading books, we can observe Americans love and cherish this sport, support it and develop it in every possible way. ", "Why did baseball become the property of the USA and how did it influence American culture?", "\n\nThe USA is the most multinational country in the world. ", "Therefore many native traditions are intertwined with the customs of other nations. ", "Thus, modern baseball has its roots elements of cricket, rounders and other similar games. ", "The considered date of birth of baseball is June 19, 1846, when Alexander Cartwright, a New York citizen, and his friends came up with the rules of the game and held the first match. ", "Over the following years, baseball began to gain popularity – adults and children all over the country played with a ball and a bit and this sport took up most of the military’s free time in the 60s during the Civil War. ", "The influence of baseball of the nineteenth century was characterized as “The very symbol, the outward and visible expression of the drive, and push, and rush and struggle of the raging, tearing, booming the nineteenth century!” (", "Twain)\n\nIn a way, it can be argued that baseball, with its heat of passion and style, symbolizes the entire American people and simultaneously influences both favorably, but grows mercantile qualities, but let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of these phenomena. ", "First, any sport is helpful for each person and the excitement Americans have to this game helps them not to forget about physical activities altogether.

", "The beneficial effect of statins on CIN prevention may be explained by multiple mechanisms.

", "Various molecules, including angiotensin, appear to be involved in the mechanism of this renal hypoperfusion.[@R31] Statins down-regulate angiotensin receptors and decrease endothelin synthesis, and therefore may prevent renal hypoperfusion and ischaemia.[@R32] Contrast medium may also cause direct damage to tubular cells facilitated by oxygen-free radicals, proinflammatory cytokines and complement activation, leading to protein precipitates, which causes tubular obstruction.[@R31] Statins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well as tendency to reduce endothelin secretion, which may be the mechanism for the CIN prevention effect of statins.[@R33] [@R34]\n\nOur present study adds to the current literature by suggesting that statins prevent CIN even in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. ", "Previous studies and meta-analysis were not able to find any CIN preventive effect of statins in patients with chronic kidney disease.[@R9] [@R22] [@R26] [@R35] This is most likely because of the smaller sample size of patients being studied and analysed.

", "We also found that there were more patients who developed CIN, who eventually required dialysis in the control group as compared to the group who received statin therapy (six out of 2022 vs none out of 2019), although conclusions from this observation cannot be made due to incomplete reporting of ultimate progression to haemodialysis from several of the studies.", "\n\nOur analysis also showed that the CIN preventive effect of statins is seen in patients receiving iso-osmolar or low-osmolar contrast. ", "This finding is in keeping with the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines,[@R2] which recommend both options of contrast (low-osmolal or iso-osmolar) without a precedence of one over the other.[@R38] Looking at the absolute reduction of CIN in our analysis, low-osmolar contrast had a lower incidence of CIN. ", "However, this absolute reduction of CIN might be attributed to the reduced average amount of contrast used when compared to iso-osmolar contrast.", "\n\nRisk factors for CIN include CKD, use of first generation hyperosmolal ionic contrast agents, hypovolemia, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, renal transplantation and heart failure.[@R39]\n\nIn our subgroup analysis, we found the CIN prevention effect of statins was independent of the use of NAC. ", "It has been previously suggested that statins would not benefit patients who had been premedicated with NAC, with the hypothesis that both statins and NAC act on similar pathways.[@R9] Our findings suggest that patients may benefit from administration of statins regardless of whether they were planned to receive NAC or not.", "\n\nWe also found that the beneficial effects of statins were seen equally in patients that were treated with high-dose atorvastatin and rosuvastatin.

", "There clearly exists a need to repeat these trials in patients who are likely to be statin naïve, undergoing iodinated contrast exposure for non-cardiovascular imaging procedures such as CT scan.", "\n\nSecond, the studies analysed the CIN prevention effect of statins with a total of three types of statins, at varied doses, for different duration of treatment.

", "Father did not present any\nevidence or claim (as he now does on appeal) that he delayed filing because he\nreasonably thought he would be able to establish contact with the child without court\nintervention in light of the fact that he had known mother and her family since they were\nteenagers, and that when he finally realized court intervention was necessary it was too\nlate because mother had already filed her petition. ", "This theory of why father did not file\nfor modification of the custody order was not presented to the trial court and we see no\nsupport for it in the record.

", "In this case, a local system or local operator is offered to the user several times with the user having to decide whether or not a connection should take place.", "\nTo clearly arrange the growing number of systems or access possibilities for users or their terminals, it was proposed in document “Global Pilot Mechanism, Tdoc SMG2 UMTS 52/97, ETSI STC SMG2 UMTS adhoc, 8.-10.

", "Furthermore, a terminal can select a suitable, or supported, radio access technology as an access possibility for establishing a radio interface and also access same. ", "Radio access technologies in this case, for example, mean systems with different standards, such as GSM and UMTS, which operate in different frequency bands. ", "According to the aforementioned document, the transmission of the pilot channel should take place either by the operator himself, who would have to correspondingly also transmit information on competing operators, or else information on a national body, (not specified in more detail), for example a regulating body.", "\nSuch a pilot channel, which is also known as a cognitive pilot channel (CPC) or common pilot channel, is therefore a special radio-supported communication channel which announces information data as data on the available radio systems. ", "A pilot channel of this kind is especially proposed for cognitive or reconfigurable radio interface devices, which, e.g. support concepts such as a flexible spectrum management or a dynamic spectrum allocation. ", "Terminals with such reconfigurable radio interface devices are increasingly interesting from the point of view of the very large number of different radio communication systems which can change with respect to a spatially moving terminal, both over time as well as relative to the momentary location. ", "In such cases, it would be impractical and time-consuming for a terminal to scan the radio spectrum for available access possibilities.", "\nFrom E2R-Project (see) http://e2r2.motlabs.com/), a concept with a cognitive/common pilot channel is known that announces information data regarding available radio systems. ", "However, apart from the general basic concept of a cognitive pilot channel of this kind for announcing information data on available radio systems, and possibly also for providing configuration information or configuration software for enabling the configuration of a reconfigurable radio interface device, no detailed information is given.", "\nFrom the former European Patent Application EP 05027892.8, a concept with a 3-stage cognitive pilot channel is known which is focused on how the operator organizes a common pilot channel in order to show the use of a spectrum with respect to various radio access technologies, especially of any operators, as access possibilities. ", "However, the given possibilities are also limited.", "\nFrom DE 199 20 587 C2, a non-generic construction and a continuous updating of a radio field database by measured data, which is recorded during a communication phase, is known, with the mobile station as a terminal being linked to available measured data and this information being linked to locating information and this information then being passed to a suitable interface in a network element belonging to the fixed network infrastructure and being evaluated. ", "Such measured data processed by the radio network infrastructure is held ready by same to be called up, in order to enable a mobile terminal outside of communication phases to also be located. ", "However, no reference to pilot channels can be seen in this case." ]

[ "LOGISTICS\n\nVanguard catches the tide with patrol vessel launch\n\nTime and tide wait for no man, it is said, so specialist heavy lift and abnormal load transport solutions company Vanguard ensured precision timing for the jacking and lifting of a 310 tonne patrol vessel fromthe Damen shipyard to the synchrolift at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront precinct of Cape Town harbour in October.", "\n\n“Missing the optimal launch time of 04.30 am on a Friday morning could have meant a 28-day delay before thenext opportunity, so there was no lee-way for any hold-ups or errors,” said project engineer Roland Cumings, who worked with the team fromVanguard’s Cape Town branch on thecontract.", "\n\nAt over 50 metres long, the vessel was jacked from its cradle at the shipyard and transported by Vanguard’s 22 axle self-propelled modular trailer configuration over a distance of about five kilometres to the port. ", "These self-propelled modular trailer configurations have the capacity to carry over 1,000 tonnes, are well suited for load-in and load-out barging operations and are steered remotely by an experienced operator.", "\n\n“As the waterfront area has grown and developed, it has become busier and more built up, creating certain challenges for the movement of abnormal loads,” said Cumings.

", "As prespecified in the \"Patients and methods\" section, in order to collect real-world data, the selection of the specific NOAC and its dosage was based on the prescribers' evaluation.

", "Probably, the individual assessment of patients' risks for bleeding often plays a major role in guiding the choice of drug and dosage, in particular, in the elderly. ", "In fact, patients treated with RD were even more fragile than the remaining patients were, as they had lower body weight, worse eGFR, and higher CIRSc and CIRSs. ", "Not surprisingly, the only two cardioembolic events occurred in this group of patients. ", "It is known that NVAF patients with advanced age or low body weight or renal dysfunction have a higher risk of stroke and MB,[@b27-vhrm-15-019] irrespective of the chosen dosage or NOAC.

", "Accordingly, the updated European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) practical guide on NOAC management,[@b24-vhrm-15-019] that is based on expert opinions, suggests dose reduction considering a number of clinical variables, not even mentioned in Phase III trials. ", "While adequate dose prescription is certainly mandatory, such appropriateness remains to be further elucidated. ", "Given the escalating complexity, we face in the daily clinical practice of geriatric patients, there is a growing need for a modern approach that integrates information from large trials and single patient's evaluation.[@b31-vhrm-15-019]\n\nLastly, we observed a good self-reported adherence to NOACs (eg, 92% compliance to the prescribed therapy) and a stability of blood tests throughout the FU period. ", "Both these findings might depend on the peculiar organization that characterizes a prospective registry, in which both careful patient management and the periodic phone calls reduce the nonadherence and allow correction of possible undercurrent factors.

", "According to the current guidelines, NOACs are often preferred; thus, it is extremely difficult to have comparable prospective data. ", "Indeed, recent real-life studies that compared NOACs to VKAs were retrospective using the propensity score matching analysis.[@b18-vhrm-15-019],[@b22-vhrm-15-019] They showed that MB and overall bleeding episodes are less frequent in patients treated with NOACs rather than with VKA.
