An Unusual Case of Tertiary Syphilis Behaving Like Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Syphilis may present with a myriad of oral manifestations in the primary, secondary, and tertiary stages, and may be confused with malignancy. Despite a rise in the incidence of syphilis, tertiary syphilis is exceedingly rare. Tertiary syphilis gummas usually affect the hard palate, while tongue involvement is very rare. A 55-year-old male with extensive smoking and alcohol use was referred for malignancy evaluation with an ulcerative mass creating a tongue cleft, and a positron emission tomography scan suggestive for malignancy. Biopsy results demonstrated no carcinoma but histology demonstrated granulomatous inflammation. Further laboratory results demonstrated elevated rapid plasma reagin titers with Treponema pallidum immunoglobulin G antibodies present. The patient was diagnosed with tertiary syphilis, received appropriate antibiotic therapy, and had healing of the tongue with a persistent cleft. Syphilis may mimic many disease processes. As such, it is important to include this disease in the differential of an unusual tongue lesion. An oral lesion may be the first sign of infection

Computational Linguistics and Machine Translation Research and Development

En aquest article es descriu breument les tendències actuals en la investigació i el desenvolupament de la traducció automàtica. Després d'una breu introducció històrica, es presenten els dos principals enfocaments que s'estan investigant: TA basada en estadística i TA basada en exemples. També es tracta l'avaluació de la TA i es conclou amb comentaris sobre la integració de la TA en el lloc de treball i en la diàctica de la llengua.Este artículo describe brevemente las tendencias actuales en la investigación y el desarrollo de la traducción automàtica. Después de una breve introducción histórica, presenta los dos principales enfoques que se estan investigando: TA basada en estadística y TA basada en ejemplos. También trata la evaluación de la TA y concluye con comentarios sobre la integración de la TA en el lugar de trabaja y en la didáctica de la lengua.In this article we briefly describe current trends in Machine Translation research and development. After a brief historical introduction, we present the two main approaches currently under investigation: Statistical MT and Example-based MT. We also discuss MT evaluation and conclude with remarks on intergrating MT into the workplace and into language pedagogy

The Effects of Structured Physical Activity Programs for Gross Motor Development in Preschoolers.

The purpose of this synthesis was to review the literature on the effects of structured physical activity programs on the gross motor skills of preschooler. It was determined that the benefits of physical education for children in elementary school has been well-documented and include acquiring gross motor skills more rapidly as well as improved cognitive functioning. However, the benefit for preschoolers from organized physical activity or a motor program is not as prevalent in research and discussion. A structured motor program is defined as a motor planning program designed by an expert in Motor Development, Physical Education or Physical Activity. Results indicate that preschoolers who participated in structured physical activity programs scored higher on validated gross motor skill and object control tests than those who did not participate in structured programs. The results also indicated that preschoolers who participated in structured programs demonstrated greater spatial memory, attention performance and cognitive functioning. This synthesis also determined that preschool teachers are not being supported or prepared to teach structured motor programs. Undergraduate programs are not providing classes on motor development or physical activity, schools are not providing the appropriate resources or trainings and the guidelines for physical activity are either not being followed or teachers are unaware they exist

When research policy and practice disconnect

Articulating and developing policy for implementation is an ongoing part of the significant political processes which influence education at the school level in Australia. This is particularly the case for the state school systems run by every state government, as the changes in political leadership can and does significantly impact policy direction (Cranston & Ehrich, 2006). This chapter reviews an example of development of educational leadership focus in Queensland state government policy and traces the changes in policy discourse, language and implementation processes across a specific time period from 2006 to 2013. The continuum of policy iterations that occur are evaluated based on the The Bowe, Ball and Gold Policy Cycle (1992), which is used to identify reasons behind disconnects that can occur between policy, implementation and policy text
