This article is a review of approaches developed in scientific research to understand the effects of abuse in childhood and adolescent life, especially on cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. The article begins returning to the social relevance of this issue in our environment, and then address the methodological and research challenges have been own global and local level, this type of study. Next, the article takes the need for vision from the development and ecological point of view, to allow studying the psychological effects of abuse. Finally, the article focuses on recapitulate what are the main types of abuse that have been studied today, and why it is necessary to understand them from a development perspective, it is contextualized, and to resume the progress made by the studies neuro-scientific.

Alternative Designs

Rollover occupant protection systems consist of many design elements such as various seat belt types, airbags, active and passive seats, and deployable systems in rollover impacts. In this study conceptual airbag systems intended to modify occupant kinematics were examined. The potential effects of these systems on occupant neck loads were evaluated. Finite element models of an LTV type vehicle and a 50th percentile dummy were utilized to evaluate the effects of alternative designs on neck loads under example rollover conditions. CAE representations of deployable airbag system types were created. Results of the study are summarized below.

The Future

This commentary aims to address the field of Artificial intelligence (AI) in Digital Pathology (DP) both in terms of the global situation and research perspectives. It has four polarities. First, it revisits the evolutions of digital pathology with particular care to the two fields of the digital cytology and the digital histology. Second, it illustrates the main fields in the employment of AI in DP. Third, it looks at the future directions of the research challenges from both a clinical and technological point of view. Fourth, it discusses the transversal problems among these challenges and implications and introduces the immediate work to implement.

Chronic Skin

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two chronic skin inflammatory diseases that have so far received a greater attention within the scientific community through different post-genomic approaches; on the contrary, acne, which is undoubtedly one of the most common skin disorders involving inflammatory processes, seems to be still quite neglected under the post-genomic point of view. In this paper, we will review how post-genomic technologies have provided new fundamental tools for the analysis of these three conditions and we will cast light on their potential in addressing future research challenges.

BioSID dummy tests were run with the arm down at the side during loading of different armrests in simulated side impact crashes. The Hyge sled tests duplicated previous studies of BioSID with the arm up, SID, and animals. When the BioSID arm is against the side, the arm extends from the shoulder to the bottom of the third rib and has a steel shank covered by foam and vinyl. Loading through the arm transfers force to the three chest ribs and shoulder. In comparison, direct armrest loading of the chest or abdomen primarily involves a single rib and substantial rib deflection, when the armrest crush-force exceeds the strength of the rib. The Viscous response in BioSID showed the greatest difference of all criteria for the arm up or down. The response of the third rib correlated with injury risks determined from animal tests using the different armrest designs in a simulated high position. While injury data are not available for the arm at the side or for the armrest in the low position, the STIFF armrest may cause injury when the arm is not at the side and the armrest loads the liver and spleen. Rib deflection in BioSID showed the protrusion of the STIFF armrest into the abdominal region in both arm positions, because the loading was below the arm even in the down position. However, the arm extends laterally so it involves the upper ribs earlier than in the arm-up condition where more space is available. Torso deflection showed similar maxima with the arm down and a high armrest position, because the bridging action of the arm and shoulder increases the stiffness of the dummy. The armrest designs cover a range in crush characteristics for occupant protection systems based on experience with other interior safety features, knowledge of human tolerance, and results of injury in animal tests. The SOFT design was most appropriate for interior use. The STIFF design produced serious injury in companion tests with animals, and the BioSID correctly assessed injury risk by peak rib deflection or Viscous response when tested similarly. In contrast, SID and TTI(d) did not indicate injury risks or safety performance. The current study indicates that response differences can be expected with arm placement, and BioSID can assess safety implications of different armrest types and arm placement.
