Children's Education Attainment: The Effects of Mothers' Go Working on the Children's Golden Age Period

Using the household production function approach, mother’s employment during the golden age period may entail a negative time effect and a positive income effect on the child’s quality, of which the net effect is ambiguous and thus may become a source of dilemma for the family. Empirical studies on this issue in Indonesia are still limited. This study conducted an empirical investigation on whether mother’s employment when the child was in the golden age (i.e., 0-5 years old) would influence the child’s education attainment in Indonesia. Employing the longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) of the 19932007 period, the study constructed several children sub-sample whose education outcome were observed in the 2007 IFLS; and the mothers’ working hours were reported in the IFLS of the previous years. It was found a significant positive impact of mothers’ working hours to the children’s probabilities of finishing the elementary school, continuing to junior high school, and finishing the junior high school. The results were robust when the nearest distance to school was included to control the supply-side factor. These empirical results show that mothers’ decision to work during the children’s golden age may have generated a substantial income effect greater than the time effect. Keywords— children education outcome, mother employment
Comparative study between DHS and PFN in the management of trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures

Introduction: The of aim treatment of these fractures is prevention of malunion and early mobilization. There are various treatment options available, the ideal choice of treatment is internal fixation. Most common used device used for fixation is DHS with side plate assemblies. The best suited implant for management is PFN.Aim and Objectives: (A) Comparative study of PFN AND DHS. (B) Evaluation of effectiveness and strength of PFN and DHS.Material and methods: The present study was carried out in PRH, Loni from 2016 to 2017.The study consisted of total 40 adult patients of peritrochanteric fractures of femur. Out of this 20 patients were treated with PFN and DHS 20.This was a comparative study. All the peritrochanteric fractures were considered except grade 4 type of intertrochanteric fracture as per Boyd and Griffins classification and grade 5 according to seinsheimer classification. Minimum of 6 months of follow up.Observation and Result: We have done follow up examination at the end of 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks. Average time for which patients were admitted was 3 weeks i.e. 21 days. Average time of union in all our 40 patients was 18 weeks (range 12 to 20 weeks). Intraoperative details PFN is better treatment modality considering its biomechanical properties. The claimed advantage with PFN is that a smaller exposure is required than for a sliding screw it may therefore be associated with less blood loss, shorter operating time and less morbidity. Also in osteoporotic bone PFN fixation carries definitive advantage over DHS fixation device.
Clustering Player Strategies from Variable-Length Game Logs in Dominion

We present a method for encoding game logs as numeric features in the card game Dominion. We then run the manifold learning algorithm t-SNE on these encodings to visualize the landscape of player strategies. By quantifying game states as the relative prevalence of cards in a player's deck, we create visualizations that capture qualitative differences in player strategies. Different ways of deviating from the starting game state appear as different rays in the visualization, giving it an intuitive explanation. This is a promising new direction for understanding player strategies across games that vary in length.
Monosodium glutamate-induced asthma: study of the potential risk of 30 asthmatics and review of the literature.

: Monosodium glutamate is a physiological nutrient, and food additive used as a taste enhancer. Several cases of intolerance to MSG in patients with asthma and with a Chinese Restaurant Syndrome have been published. A high dose of 2.5 g was tested in 6 healthy controls and 30 asthmatics (7: allergic asthma; 15: intrinsic asthma with intolerance to aspirin; 8: intrinsic asthma with aspirin intolerance, intolerance to alcohol or to food additives). Two patients presented with a mild bronchospasm, occurring 6 to 10 hours after the ingestion. Different mechanisms are discussed. A cholinergic mechanism might be incriminated, either due to stimulation of the synthesis of acetylcholine, or due to a vagal reflex elicited by a reflux esophagitis. However, a high vagal hyperreactivity seems to be needed for the occurrence of asthma. It is concluded that a very small subset of patients with intrinsic asthma might present with an intolerance to MSG if high doses are consumed.
Bilingual Educational Policy in Georgia: Can it Benefit the Process of Integration of Society?

This article reviews the educational policy for the integration of society in Georgia. It is an analytical research paper on the current situation of ethnic minority education in Georgia. The problems and opportunities of bilingual education policy are analysed in the article. The content analysis research method was utilised in the study. The author argues that bilingual education is a crucial tool for the integration of Georgian society; however, local control, involvement, and context are crucial in the implementation of a national bilingual educational programme. The changes on the political, institutional and pedagogical levels of bilingual education are necessary for the successful implementation of bilingual education reform.
Kinematic Profile in Soccer Players

Soccer match analysis was established to evaluate tactical aspects of the game, now this assessment is utilized for physical effort. This has been done to date mainly by video interpretation of the matches. The aim of this study is to analyze the official matches of a regular soccer season with a wearable device as Global Positioning System. Thirty official games of a team of sixth division of Italian Football League were assessed via GPS system. Parameters of volume (time as minutes, distance as meters and relative distance as meters/minutes) were calculated directly from the instrument, while the values of intensity (speed as m/sec, acceleration as m/sec 2 and deceleration as m/sec 2 ) have been indexed respect to the maximum individual. In addition a tactical analysis for each roles of players were done. Results shows lower values of total distance (9256.7±385.7 m) and relative distance (97.6±4.3 m/min) than previous studies, while the values of speed, acceleration and deceleration confirm the data present in the literature. Tactical analysis shows high speed for the forward, medium speed for midfielders and low speed for lateral defenders. No differences between the different tactical roles for acceleration analysis. Decelerations are mainly represented in midfielders and lateral forward. A new approach has been used for an individualized threshold for speed, acceleration and deceleration. Different kinematic data was found among different players respect to tactics analysis.
The relation between high-school students’ performance and feedback memory

This paper describes a study that explores the relation between high-school students’ feedback choices, memory for these feedback choices, and task performance. Choices to seek confirmatory (positive) or critical (negative) feedback and to revise posters in a poster design task were collected from ninety-two students from a Western US high school via Posterlet, a computer game assessment. A week following the study, the students were asked to recall the feedback phrases they encountered in Posterlet. Results show that the choices to seek critical feedback and to revise correlate with poster performance and with the amount of critical feedback remembered. A closer examination of the feedback value revealed that students’ choices to revise correlated with the amount of informative, rather than uninformative, feedback remembered. Implications of students’ feedback choices on their performance and feedback memory are discussed.
Using Technology in Education from the Pre-service Science and Mathematics Teachers’ Perspectives

The purpose of this study is to find out pre-service teachers’ views about the use of technology in science and middle school mathematics courses. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 pre-service teachers studying in a university in Central Anatolia Region during the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. The obtained data were analyzed using content analysis by the researchers. According to the findings, pre-service teachers thought that computer, smart board, projector, laboratory equipment, notebook, and pencil are the main technologies that can be used in the classroom. The participants also thought that presentation and video processing programs make course interesting and enjoyable, visualize the topic, make learning easier, and enable the permanent learning. However, they also stated that preparing a presentation and video processing program may be time consuming and boring if it is used throughout the course; and the program may not be useful for every subject. The participants found blogs and web pages useful since they give opportunities to share course content, materials, and information, make announcements to make students prepared for the course. Almost all the participants believed that technological equipment of their classroom definitely affect their teaching. Namely, in an ill-equipped class, the students would have difficulty in learning, tend to memorize things; also their attitudes, interests, and motivations towards the course, and participation in the lesson would be affected; and their learning would not be permanent.
ABO Blood Groups and Periodontal Status : Is There Any Link? - A Clinical Study

Objective : The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there was a relationship between periodontal diseases and ABO blood groups. Methods : This epidemiological study was carried out on 600 subjects who were randomly selected from individuals referred to the Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Dasmesh Institute of Research and Dental Sciences, Faridkot (Punjab) for periodontal treatment. The study based on periodontal condition, blood group, and medical history. The subjects were divided into three groups as those with gingivitis, periodontitis, and the healthy ones. The effects of blood subgroups on periodontal health, gingivitis and periodontitis were investigated separately. Results : A relatively higher percentage of B group patients were found in both gingivitis group and periodontitis group. Conclusion : ABO blood subgroups and Rh factor may constitute a risk factor on the development of periodontal disease. However, long-term studies are needed to make a more comprehensive assessment of the effects of ABO group on periodontal diseases.
Phantom-Mobility-Based Prosthesis Control in Transhumeral Amputees Without Surgical Reinnervation: A Preliminary Study

Transhumeral amputees face substantial difficulties in efficiently controlling their prosthetic limb, leading to a high rate of rejection of these devices. Actual myoelectric control approaches make their use slow, sequential and unnatural, especially for these patients with a high level of amputation who need a prosthesis with numerous active degrees of freedom (powered elbow, wrist, and hand). While surgical muscle-reinnervation is becoming a generic solution for amputees to increase their control capabilities over a prosthesis, research is still being conducted on the possibility of using the surface myoelectric patterns specifically associated to voluntary Phantom Limb Mobilization (PLM), appearing naturally in most upper-limb amputees without requiring specific surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility for transhumeral amputees to use a PLM-based control approach to perform more realistic functional grasping tasks. Two transhumeral amputated participants were asked to repetitively grasp one out of three different objects with an unworn eight-active-DoF prosthetic arm and release it in a dedicated drawer. The prosthesis control was based on phantom limb mobilization and myoelectric pattern recognition techniques, using only two repetitions of each PLM to train the classification architecture. The results show that the task could be successfully achieved with rather optimal strategies and joint trajectories, even if the completion time was increased in comparison with the performances obtained by a control group using a simple GUI control, and the control strategies required numerous corrections. While numerous limitations related to robustness of pattern recognition techniques and to the perturbations generated by actual wearing of the prosthesis remain to be solved, these preliminary results encourage further exploration and deeper understanding of the phenomenon of natural residual myoelectric activity related to PLM, since it could possibly be a viable option in some transhumeral amputees to extend their control abilities of functional upper limb prosthetics with multiple active joints without undergoing muscular reinnervation surgery.
Burden of eclampsia: a persisting problem in the developing countries -

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy constitute one of the major threats to maternal health. Eclampsia is still a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. This study was carried out to determine the incidence of eclampsia, demographic profile of patients, obstetric outcome, fetal outcome, maternal morbidity and mortality. Methods: A 5 year retrospective observational study included 521 patients who presented in emergency with eclampsia and admitted between April 2010 and March 2015, in the department of Obstetrics and gynecology, government medical college (Chhattisgarh institute of medical sciences) and tertiary care hospital Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Results: Based on 14,876 pregnancies in the 5 year period in our referral hospital, we estimated an incidence of 3.5%. 70.8% were primigravida and 86.4% of patients had no regular antenatal care. Majority of the cases (82.1%) presented as antepartum/intrapartum eclampsia in the age group 20-24 years (65.4%). The patients usually presented at term(62.4%) with 69.7% having vaginal delivery as compared to 30.3% undergoing LSCS. The fetal outcome showed 56.2% live-births, 25.5% had early neonatal death and 13.3% still-born. The complications most commonly observed were puerperal sepsis ( 11 %),oliguria(8.1%), pulmonary edema(5.9%) and maternal mortality as 8.4 %. Conclusions: Most of the life-threatening eclampsia cases can be prevented by simple awareness and motivation towards antenatal care. In Chhattisgarh state where majority of rural population are tribal, illiterate, living in difficult to reach areas, delay in referral, due to unavailability of clinicians or medical officers in peripheral areas for antenatal examination.The best way to reduce the burden is by creating an awareness, proper antenatal care, timely referral and thus prevent the occurrence of eclampsia.
Eating habits among medical students in a Sudanese medical faculty

Poor nutritional habits and obesity are major public health problems among young adult who experienced transition into university life (18 to 25 years of age) as this time associated with unhealthy lifestyle characteristics. This study aimed to assess the patterns of eating habits among medical students. This is a cross sectional faculty based study was conducted among 180 medical students (66% from the 1 st grade and 34% from the 5 th grade) at Alneelain University Faculty of Medicine. The questionnaire was composed of close-ended questions on socio-demography, anthropometry, eating habits and knowledge assessment factors as well as their weight, height, percentage body fat and body mass index were measured. Body mass index (BMI) was used to assess students' weight status. More than half of the students had normal body BMI mean was 22.5 ± 3.7, and perform exercise (66 and 60% respectively), while the majority of the students had daily breakfast and vegetable intake of at least three times per week (76 and 71% respectively), and less than half of the students had daily water intake more than 2 L, and snack intake at least three times per week (30 and 42% respectively). There was no significant association between eating habits score (mean was 6.7 ± 0.96) and socio-demographic variables (except for father occupation), or BMI. Lack of time was the most frequently reported as a barrier from healthy eating and physical activity. In conclusion, the majority of the students have healthy eating habit and most of them have normal body weight. In spite of the presence of educational grade deference related to some aspect of eating habits, the students eating habits score is not influencing by educational grade, and by socio-demographic variables (except for father occupation).
Performance modelling of a queue management scheme with rate control for HSDPA

High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is being increasingly deployed to enhance UMTS Radio Access Networks. Scheduling of Node B (base station) buffered user data for trans- mission over a shared radio channel is a key HSDPA functionality which enables queue management techniques to be utilized to improve QoS provisioning for mixed 'multimedia' services. Thus, we have previously proposed and studied a Time-Space Priority (TSP) buffer management scheme for 'multimedia' QoS control in HSDPA Node B. In this paper the scheme is extended to incor- porate a threshold-based rate control mechanism which provides flow control between the RNC and Node B entities over the Iub interface to improve the QoS performance of non-real-time (NRT) streams in the multimedia flow. Mathematical and simula- tion models are developed for comparative analysis with the pre- viously studied TSP scheme lacking rate control. The results demonstrate the performance improvement achievable with the joint implementation of TSP queue management scheme and Iub flow control mechanism(s).
Student Audio Notes Project: lessons from autonomous use of MP3 recorders by students to enhance their learning

Ongoing and successful development work around the design and delivery of audio feedback and audio lecture note‐making at Sheffield Hallam University, together with an awareness of how digital audio might be used to empower disabled students, led to the proposal for the Student Audio Notes project. The idea of digital audio‐enhanced learner autonomy had emerged from earlier work by the authors which had suggested that feedback could be more meaningful if the learner takes responsibility for gathering it and feeding it forward into their studies and indeed, later, into their employment. This learner responsibility provided an important focus for The Student Audio Notes Project (SANP): a year‐long investigation into how students might use MP3 recording devices to enrich their own experiences of learning. SANP gave out MP3 recorders to participating students and aimed to encourage and challenge these students to explore how the devices could be used so that good practice might emerge and be shared. It was hoped that they would identify and record any encounters involving verbalised communication that they felt helpful in deepening and reflecting upon their learning. In this way the act of audio recording would ideally become an essential, ever‐present, autonomous learning habit for them. A strand of this investigation sought to find out, in particular, whether the recording of digital audio by disabled students could bring benefits to disabled learners. As the study by Healey et al. (2006) showed, 51% of disabled students (n=276) responded well to tutor support aimed at improving the standard of their academic work, as opposed to the 43% of non‐disabled students (n=272). It was expected, therefore, that student’s use of audio note‐making would result in similar beneficial impacts. When note‐making systems are used effectively, as previous research by Intons‐Peterson and Fournier (1986) has also shown, note‐making can increase memory encoding in the learner and so enhance their ability to recall the information later. Therefore, it was hoped that SANP would show how audio note‐making could be effective in empowering students with disabilities. Findings from SANP demonstrate that all participating students discovered benefits from using recording devices and that they found it useful to capture a range of formal, semi‐ formal and informal situations. These findings raise questions for further research and support and some recommendations are made to ensure such activity is properly undertaken and supported.
Comparison of Bacterial Diversity in Air and Water of a Major Urban Center

The interaction of wind with aquatic and terrestrial surfaces is known to control the creation of microbial aerosols allowing for their entrainment into air masses that can be transported regionally and globally. Near surface interactions between urban waterways and urban air are understudied but some level of interaction among these bacterial communities would be expected and may be relevant to understanding both urban air and water quality. To address this gap related to patterns of local air-water microbial exchange, we utilized next-generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes from paired air and water samples collected from 3 urban waterfront sites and evaluated their relative bacterial diversity. Aerosol samples at all sites were significantly more diverse than water samples. Only 17–22% of each site’s bacterial aerosol OTUs were present at every site. These shared aerosol OTUs included taxa associated with terrestrial systems (e.g., Bacillus), aquatic systems (e.g., Planktomarina) and sewage (e.g., Enterococcus). In fact, sewage-associated genera were detected in both aerosol and water samples, (e.g., Bifidobacterium, Blautia, and Faecalibacterium), demonstrating the widespread influence of similar pollution sources across these urban environments. However, the majority (50–61%) of the aerosol OTUs at each site were unique to that site, suggesting that local sources are an important influence on bioaerosols. According to indicator species analysis, each site’s aerosols harbored the highest percentage of bacterial OTUs statistically determined to uniquely represent that site’s aquatic bacterial community, further demonstrating a local connection between water quality and air quality in the urban environment.
