Internal Hernia Masquerading As Necrotizing Enterocolitis

2017

In extremely preterm infants, acute abdominal emergencies are fortunately less common with improving care. Spontaneous intestinal perforation and necrotizing enterocolitis are conditions where emergency surgery is most often needed. Conservative medical management and placement of temporary drain are often used in the initial management. Internal hernia (IH) is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in neonates, is difficult to diagnose and unfortunately are found only at autopsy. The presentation in preterm infants, distinction between these conditions, and the need for early diagnosis of IH are discussed.

The 90-day oscillations of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot revisited

2000

Abstract We have analyzed a large set of ground-based CCD images covering the period from 1993 to early 1999, to address the current status and behavior of the 90-day longitudinal oscillations of the Jovian Great Red Spot (GRS). The good temporal sampling of these data have been complemented with a small set of high resolution Hubble Space Telescope images. The average zonal velocity of the GRS from 1994 to 1998 was −3.8 ms−1 with extreme values of −2.4 and −4.2 ms−1 in 1993–1994 resulting from the interactions with nearby features. Our study confirms the existence of the longitudinal oscillations with a mean period of 89.8±0.15 days and an amplitude of 1.2±0.7°. The oscillations survived t…

Ketterät menetelmät ja CMMI: yhteensopivia vai -sopimattomia?

2009

  Kuhno, Hanna Maria Ketterät menetelmät ja CMMI: yhteensopivia vai -sopimattomia?/Hanna Kuhno Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2009 47 s. Kandidaatintutkielma Tässä tutkielmassa tutustutaan ketterien menetelmien soveltamiseen CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) nimisen prosessien kypsyystasomallin yhteydessä. Tavoitteena on aihealueeseen tutustumisen lisäksi selvittää CMMI:n ja ketterien menetelmien yleisimmät yhteensopivuusongelmat sekä tuoda esille myös niihin kirjallisuudessa esitettyjä ratkaisuja. Niihin CMMI:n alueisiin, jotka ketterät menetelmät täyttävät hyvin, ei tutkielmassa puututa. Ketterät menetelmät ja CMMI mielletään usein toistensa vastakohdiksi, joiden yhteensovitt…

Test-driven development in education

2008

Test-Driven Development (TDD) was applied in educational setting right after it became well-known as a key practice of Extreme Programming (XP). Basically, there are many studies reporting positive experiences on TDD applied in different levels of a curriculum. In this paper, we discuss the role of TDD in education through the students' experiences. In our experiment, a challenging programming task was applied in order to see what kind of difficulties the students would encounter and discuss. The students' answers revealed several topics that require a careful treatment in teaching to avoid conceptual confusion. For example, the topics include the scalability of TDD, extent of single test, …

Regional frequency analysis of extreme rainfall in Sicily (Italy)

2018

Extreme rainfall events have large impacts on society and are likely to increase in intensity under climate change. For design and management decisions, particularly regarding hydraulic works, accurate estimates of precipitation magnitudes are needed at different durations. In this article, an objective approach of the regional frequency analysis (RFA) has been applied to precipitation data for the island of Sicily, Italy. Annual maximum series for rainfall with durations of 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h from about 130 rain gauges were used. The RFA has been implemented using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by a clustering analysis, through the k-means algorithm, to identify statistical…

Des lieux et des liens : du décentrement à l’engagement dans la poésie de Laura Casielles

2023

Laura Casielles (Pola de Siero, Asturies, 1986) est une poétesse, traductrice et journaliste espagnole. Cartes, paysages, territoires peuplent son écriture poétique qui affiche un souci de l’autre lieu et de l’autre langue. Cet article s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux recueils Los idiomas comunes et Las señales que hacemos en los mapas. Deux ouvrages qui invitent à « aller voir ailleurs » : dans le premier recueil, un « ailleurs » qui est un au-delà de soi, pour explorer ainsi les espaces des « communs » ; et, dans le deuxième recueil, un « ailleurs » vers d’autres territoires pour penser la question de l’enclosure identitaire et des enracinements. La notion d’« ailleurs » est égalemen…

Morphology and evolution of the oral shield in marsupial neonates including the newborn monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides, Marsupialia Microbiot…

2017

International audience; Newborn marsupials can be arranged into three grades of developmental complexity based on their external form, as well as based on their organ systems and their cytology. The dasyurids are considered the least developed marsupials at birth, while didelphids and peramelids are intermediate, and macropods are the most developed. Currently there is still little information on caenolestid and microbiotherid development at birth. Developmental stages can be graded as G1, G2 and G3, with G1 being the least developed at birth, and G3 the most developed. Marsupials are also characterized by having an extremely developed craniofacial region at birth compared with placentals. …

Inferring genetic connectivity in real populations, exemplified by coastal and oceanic atlantic cod

2018

Significance Estimates of migration are important for understanding the dynamics of natural populations. A statistic known as FST is often used to measure levels of genetic differentiation among natural populations. Equations that translate FST into estimates of migration are based on “ideal” populations, which are subject to many simplifying assumptions compared with real populations. Therefore, theoretical estimates of migration might not be realistic. We modeled populations of Atlantic cod in the North Sea and the adjacent Skagerrak region to compare how migration is related to the complexities of real populations, and how actual migration compares with predictions based on theory. Resul…
