Investigating whether adverse prenatal and perinatal events are associated with non-clinical psychotic symptoms at age 12 years in the ALSPAC birth cohort2009 •
BackgroundNon-clinical psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) occur in about 15% of the population. It is not clear whether adverse events during early development alter the risk of developing PLIKS. We aimed to examine whether maternal infection, diabetes or pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, gestational age, perinatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation or 5-min Apgar score were associated with development of psychotic symptoms during early adolescence.MethodA longitudinal study of 6356 12-year-old adolescents who completed a semi-structured interview for psychotic symptoms in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort. Prenatal and perinatal data were obtained from obstetric records and maternal questionnaires completed during pregnancy.ResultsThe presence of definite psychotic symptoms was associated with maternal infection during pregnancy [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11–1.86, p=0.006], maternal diabetes (adjusted OR 3.43, 95% CI...

Esta monografía, fruto de nuestra experiencia como docentes practicantes de la Licenciatura en Lenguas Extranjeras, tiene como objetivo general describir el impacto de un club de la canción orientado a promover la producción oral en inglés de los estudiantes del grado 8-1 de la Institución Educativa Liceo Departamental. Esto, a partir de las problemáticas identificadas en este contexto, como que: 1. Los estudiantes no se encuentran en el nivel que el Ministerio de Educación Nacional establece para estudiantes de grado octavo de las instituciones públicas. 2. No existe un buen nivel de participación por parte de los estudiantes. 3. La lengua extranjera no se utiliza en el aula. La metodología empleada se sitúa en el enfoque investigación acción; se trabajó con una muestra de 33 estudiantes del grado octavo – uno; 18 de los estudiantes mujeres y 15 hombres, entre los 12 y los 15 años. Esta propuesta, de acuerdo con los hallazgos arrojados, tuvo un impacto positivo en el proceso de pro...

The growing importance of national parliaments is one feature of the stronger differentiation within the EU. Habermasian expectations of an increasing consensus on political norms seem to be invalidated by current events. In her book, in which she draws on her award-winning PhD thesis, Anja Thomas makes an important theoretical and empirical contribution to our understanding of the social causes of this development. Analysing EU affairs in the Assemblée nationale and Bundestag since 1979, she uncovers a paradox: increasing experience with the EU leads to national institutions growing in importance for MPs’ discourse on the role of parliaments in the EU. Revisiting social theory, in particular Max Weber’s ‘old’ institutionalism, the author presents a new model that explains this phenomenon. This book should be read by students of both parliaments in the EU and European integration processes. This work was distinguished with the Prix Pflimlin 2017.

The article touches upon graffiti discourse as a form of rhetorical speech and tries to analyse it according to the three strategies of persuasion suggested by Aristotle: ethos, pathos and logos. The article reveals how specific the graffiti discourse is in terms of using these strategies and how the latter make the speech more powerful and persuasive. Also, an attempt is made to reveal the role of metaphor in the performance of the strategy of pathos in graffiti discourse.

The paper is aimed at determining the capability of the airside facilities to accommodate aviation operational demand. The USA FAA methodology was utilized for the measurement of airfield capacity in this study. In consideration of the existing runway configuration, runway utilization patterns and 52506 operation counts, Lagos airport domestic wing Nigeria has been determined to have a daily demand ratio (D) of 240 operations and an hourly demand ratio (H) of 20 operations, and thus, an ASV of approximately 63006 operations. Capacity calculations indicated that a Nigerian runway configuration accommodates an ASV of 247, 123 annual operations. Based on the aircraft fleet mix currently utilizing Nigerian airports, this ASV seems appropriate through the planning period. The ASV during the period under study was highest at the domestic wing of Lagos Airport followed International wing of the same airport. Abuja domestic wing was next followed by Port Harcourt domestic wing. It is consid...
