Appearance-based landmark selection for efficient long-term visual localization

Abstract Despite growing evidence for nongenetic inheritance, the ecological conditions that favor the evolution of heritable parental or grandparental effects remain poorly understood. Here, we systematically explore the evolution of parental effects in a patch-structured population with locally changing environments. When selection favors the production of a mix of offspring types, this mix differs according to the parental phenotype, implying that parental effects are favored over selection for bet-hedging in which the mixture of offspring phenotypes produced does not depend on the parental phenotype. Positive parental effects (generating a positive correlation between parental and offspring phenotype) are favored in relatively stable habitats and when different types of local environment are roughly equally abundant, and can give rise to long-term parental inheritance of phenotypes. By contrast, unstable habitats can favor negative parental effects (generating a negative correlation between parental and offspring phenotype), and under these circumstances even slight asymmetries in the abundance of local environmental states select for marked asymmetries in transmission fidelity.

Of 173 patients with myelodysplasia followed in the Birth Defects Center at University Hospital between 1968 and 1972, 30 (17%) have been placed outside their natural families for temporary or long-term care. Only one has been adopted and five have been institutionalized; the remainder have been in foster home care. High level paralysis, mental retardation, and lower socioeconomic status correlate positively with placement. In this series, gender was not a contributory factor. An initial "hopeless" prognosis and/or selection for "no treatment" were decisions often made prior to referral to this center but were highly correlated to placement. Considering the multiple medical, emotional, and economic problems facing these families, relinquishment of custody should be anticipated in a significant percentage of cases. To date, placement outside the natural family has been viewed primarily as abandonment or as an emergency solution to a crisis. Long-term follow-up study of this group of children may indicate that transfer of custody can be a positive therapeutic alternative for the child and his family.

Delirium is highly prevalent and leads to several bad outcomes for older long-term care (LTC) residents. For a more successful translation of delirium knowledge, Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) tailored to LTC should be developed and applied based on the understanding of the barriers to implementation. This study was conducted to develop a CPG for delirium in LTC and to determine the barriers perceived by healthcare professionals related to the implementation of the CPG. We followed a structured, evidence- and theory-based procedure during the development process. After a systematic search, quality appraisal, and selection for eligible up-to-date CPGs for delirium, the recommendations applicable to the LTC were drafted, evaluated, and confirmed by an external group of experts. To evaluate the barriers to guideline uptake from the users’ perspectives, semi-structured interviews were conducted which resulted in four major themes: (1) a lack of resources, (2) a tendency to follow mindlines rather than guidelines, (3) passive attitudes, and (4) misunderstanding delirium care in LTC. To minimize adverse prognoses through prompt delirium care, the implementation of a CPG with an approach that comprehensively considers various barriers at the system, practice, healthcare professional, and patients/family levels is necessary.
