Un- fortunately, most discourse within the profession about the term physically literate occurred primarily after its adoption. While we agree with the spirit and intent of the term, we feel it is essential to discuss not only what has been potentially gained but also lost. In our paper, we illustrate the similarity of the terms physically educated and physically literate and essentially, from a definitional perspective, find little difference--but are these terms interchangeable? We provide a critical review of the standards and conclude that the change to physical literacy has produced a shift away from psychomotor outcomes to cognitive outcomes. Our concerns about this are many, but most importantly they are about the need to emphasize the "physical" in physical education (PE). It is our belief that the key to elevating the profession and maintaining and increasing support for PE is in its ability to promote and provide physical activity. Without physical activity and physical fitness as main outcomes, PE increases its vulnerability to extinction as a standard part of the U.S. K-12 education curriculum.展开更多

The aim of this study was to analyse its age-related prognostic value. Methods SYNTAX-score was calculated in 1331 all-comer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): 463 patients ≥ 75 years and 868 patients 〈 75 years. Outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality at one and two years. Results A significant interaction of age and SYNTAX-score for mortality was observed at two-year (Pinteraction= 0.019) but not at one-year follow-up (Pinteraction= 0.594). In multivariable analysis, SYNTAX-score independently predicted 1-year mortality in both age groups (〈 75 years, hazard ratio (HR): 1.43, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.03-2.00, P = 0.034; and 〉 75 years, HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.01-1.85, P = 0.042), but only two-year mortality among younger patients (〈 75 years, HR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.01-1.76, P = 0.041; and ≥ 75 years, HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.87-1.41, P = 0.394). SYNTAX-score tertiles were useful to stratify 1-year mortality in both, patients 〈 75 years (SYNTAX-score 〈 9, 3.8%; 9-20, 5.3%; 〉 20, 10.3%; P = 0.004) and 〉 75 years (SYNTAX-score 〈 11, 5.7%; 11-22.5, 16.1%; 〉 22.5, 18.7%; P = 0.003), but two-year mortality only among patients 〈 75 years (SYNTAX-score 〈 9, 6.5%; 9-20, 7.6%; ≥ 20, 15%; P 〈 0.001) and not among ≥ 75 years old patients (SYNTAX-score 〈 11, 19.4%; 11-22.5, 26.3%; _〉 22.5, 27.9%; P = 0.138). Conclusions Age modi- fies the impact of the SYNTAX-score on longer-term mortality after PCI. Among patients 〈 75 years, the SYNTAX-score independently predicts the risk of death at one and two years after PCI, while among patients 〉 75 years its predictive role is limited to the first year after PCI. Further studies are needed to evaluate the value of SYNTAX-score for selecting the most appropriate revascularization strategy among elderly patients.展开更多

Sixteen(15%) patients who were treated with bevacizumab for less than 4 cycles were excluded, and finally, 89(85%) patients were enrolled. Among them, 33(37%) patients who received palliative local treatment were categorized into the palliative local treatment group, and the remaining 56(63%) patients were categorized into the chemotherapy plus bevacizumab group. The primary endpoint was overall survival(OS), which was calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. Factors possibly influencing survival were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Adverse events(AEs) were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0. Grades 1–2 and 3–4 AEs of the two groups were compared and analyzed using the Fisher's exact test and χ~2 analysis.Results The median follow-up period was 20.4 months, ranging from 1 to 60 months. The median OS in the palliative local treatment group was 36.3 months(95% CI, 33.5–39.2), and that in the chemotherapy plus bevacizumab group was 20.5 months(95% CI, 17.6–23.4). Both the univariate(HR 0.13, 95% CI, 0.05–0.30, P < 0.001) and multivariate(HR 0.16, 95% CI, 0.07–0.39, P < 0.001) analyses showed that the addition of palliative local treatment could prolong survival compared with chemotherapy plus bevacizumab alone. There were no significant differences in the rates of common chemotherapy-or bevacizumab-related AEs between the two groups.Conclusion These findings suggest palliative local treatment is an effective and safe method for treating patients with incurable metastatic CRC receiving chemotherapy plus bevacizumab.展开更多

Adorno's language thought is derived from Benjamin's extensive language theory in which Benjamin claims that all things including human being have languages. The telos of art's expression is expressing what the repressed things and human long for speaking. The authentic art preserves the trace of primordial human's instinct: mimesis. Through the subject miming the object in the expression of art, the real cognition is realized. According to this model, we can ascertain that artist is the real epistemological subject, the "collective subject" is factually the speaker of the expression and the epistemological objet which is primary in the production of art. Since art is a language, the standard of art is truth-false, and therefore, the truth content is the criterion of authentic art. Negativity is the core character of truth content.展开更多

It is about Chinese prosperity, collective effort, socialism and national glory. It is also about the welfare, wellbeing, and quality of life of every Chinese. Academics in higher education in China are facing changes both across the globe and in China, they must take the challenges. This paper does research on wellbeing of the academics from the aspects of the definition of wellbeing, the situation both in the world and in China, the Chinese concept of happiness, the possible influence of Confucius moral standards on wellbeing of Chinese. This paper may help school leaders implement policies that foster effective work environment in the new era in China.展开更多

Consequently, new and specific terminology is necessary. In addition, the interdisciplinarity contributes as well to the development of communication problems between non-professionals and experts of a special domain or between experts of different domains--as well at international level. Usually, technical terms are defined differently according to their domains. Therefore, a new terminological approach will avoid semantic vagueness as synonymy, antonymy, risk of confusion, hypernymy-hyponymy relations and polysemy, homonymy, etc.. For example, the terms "localization" and "positioning" are prototypes for this semantic vagueness. The objective of the iglos ("intelligent glossary") terminology work of the Institute of Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering of the Technische Universigit Braunschweig is to clarify the multilingual and multidisciplinary misunderstanding between special languages of different domains by standardizing the definitions of technical terms. The focus of this paper lies on semantic problems of English navigation terminology in railway traffic domain and the clarification of the semantic vagueness between its terms with a modeling process and a linguistic method with different criteria. Finally, the result of these approaches should be a consistent navigation terminology in the railway domain.展开更多

There are rhetorical question, switching, repetition, apostrophe, etc. in the drama language body standard. Furthermore, the lower utilization frequency of the drama language body standard is revealed by comparison with the literature and art style. The figures of speech in the drama language are open and unlimited. The drama language is more emphasized on the using of the figures of speech than the colloquial style.展开更多

However, the data are explained in terms of dilatancy, which requires many prerequisites and implies that the ±55° angle is only valid for the used material. In contrast, the -55°predicted by the MEM-criterion is material independent, which makes it widely applicable to explaining the development of ductile shear zones in nature.
