RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT DELAY 1

The aim of this study was to identify risk and protective factors, according to national and international literature, associated with delays in the development of children’s oral language. An integrative review of the literature was developed in the databases Lilacs, PsycINFO and Web of Science. The search resulted in 12 articles that met the selection criteria. Most of the studies identified static risk factors, which are mainly biological variables, or related to the child’s life history. A smaller numbe r of researches investigated dynamic risk and protective factors, among which the social support offered to the child was highlighted. Knowing which factors are related to these delays is essential for formulation of proposals that aim an adequate development of the language. Gaps in the literature and the need for new research with more rigorous methodological designs are discussed, considering the importance of this discussion for possible interventions. RESUMEN. El objetivo de este estudio fue listar los factores de riesgo y de protección que, según la literatura nacional e internacional, están asociados con retrasos en el desarrollo del lenguaje oral en niños.

Failure Mechanism and Seismic Capacity of RC Frames with URM Wall considering Its Diagonal Strut

In this study, RC frames with unreinforced concrete block (CB) wall for typical school buildings in Korea are experimentally investigated to evaluate their seismic capacity. For this purpose, one-fourth scale, one-bay specimens with/without CB wall are designed, and in-plane loading tests are carried out. In this paper, the diagonal strut mechanism of CB wall including its main angle, average compressive strain, central axis, and equivalent width is discussed using principal compressive strains on CB wall. The lateral strength carried by CB wall and RC frame is also explained based on the compressive stress acting on CB wall and the curvature distribution along both columns during the test.
Opt-out systems of organ donation: International evidence review

3. Healy et al., 2005: used data from 17 countries over the period 1990-2002 and found that organ donation rates were greater by 2.7 donors per million population (PMP) in countries with presumed consent legislation compared to informed consent countries. This review was carried out with the aim of updating an existing systematic review conducted by the University of York in 2008 (Rithalia et al., 2008) which examined the impact of ‘opt-out’ (or ‘presumed consent’) legislation on organ donation rates.
A Detailed Analysis of Semantic Dependency Parsing with Deep Neural Networks

The use of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks continues to yield better results in natural language processing tasks. One area which recently has seen significant improvements is semantic dependency parsing, where the current state-of-the-art model uses a multilayer LSTM combined with an attention-based scoring function to predict the dependencies. In this thesis the state of the art model is first replicated and then extended to include features based on syntactical trees, which was found to be useful in a similar model. In addition, the effect of part-of-speech tags is studied. The replicated model achieves a labeled F1 score of 93.6 on the in-domain data and 89.2 on the out-of-domain data on the DM dataset, which shows that the model is indeed replicable. Using multiple features extracted from syntactic gold standard trees of the DELPHIN Derivation Tree (DT) type increased the labeled scores to 97.1 and 94.1 respectively, while the use of predicted trees of the Stanford Basic (SB) type did not improve the results at all. The usefulness of part-of-speech tags was found to be diminished in the presence of other features.
Versus Self-Editing in the ESL Classroom

Few studies have compared peer-editing to self-editing with respect to writing development. This study addresses this gap in literature. It uses a pre-test/post-test comparison group quasi-experimental design and employs quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection to compare the effect of trained peer-editing to that of trained self-editing in developing students’ writing in revised drafts. The student sample comprised students taking a freshman level course at an American university in Lebanon. The comparison group engaged in selfediting their essays, while the experimental group practiced peer-editing. The researcher, who was also the instructor, evaluated students’ writing performance using a rubric following the multiple trait approach and another rater evaluated a sample of students’ essays to achieve inter-rater reliability. A comparison of ANCOVA tests from both groups revealed that unlike the comparison group, the experimental group significantly improved their revised drafts. Sample essays and editing forms by the experimental and control groups were also analyzed to determine the changes made to students’ second drafts in response to peerand self-feedback. The study concludes by recommending the use of peer-editing in the writing classroom since it focuses students’ attention on good writing skills and helps them construct new knowledge through peer mediation.
Relationship among nurses ’ safety compliance , organizational safety climate , worker ’ s variables and job satisfaction at Zagazig University hospitals

Background: Safety is the condition of a “steady state” of an organization or place doing what it is supposed to do. “What it is supposed to do” is defined in terms of public codes and standards, corporate vision and mission statements, and operational plans and personnel policies. For any organization, place, or function, large or small, safety is a normative concept. It complies with situation-specific definitions of what is expected and acceptable. Aim: to explore relationship among nurses’ safety compliance, organizational safety climate, personality variables and job satisfaction at Zagazig University hospitals. Method: Exploratory descriptive design. The study subjects consisted of diploma nurses (326) and baccalaureate nurses (40). The study was conducted at Zagazig University hospitals. Six tools were used for collecting data (compliance scale for coworkers, compliance scale for self, overall job satisfaction, hospital safety climate, positive and negative affectivity scale and conscientiousness scale). Results: the majority (35.9%) of the study sample saw that their co-workers are not complied with safety measures while (29.6%) saw that their co-workers are complied with safety measures, the majority (34.5%) of the study sample saw that they are not complied with safety measures while (27.4%) saw that they are complied with safety measures. Conclusion: there are a statistically significant difference between Self-reported safety compliance and co-workers’ ratings of safety compliance at level (0.000), While there are not statistically significant differences among Self-reported safety compliance or co-workers’ ratings of safety compliance and: job satisfaction, organizational safety climate; mood at work and conscientiousness.

Exploring Student Engagement in Writing using the Flipped Classroom

Over the years, considerable success of the flipped classroom approach (FCA) has indicated its usefulness in teaching and learning. However, studies on how flipped classrooms engage students in writing remain limited in Malaysia even though the ability to write well is considered an important skill. Therefore, this quantitative study sets out to examine students’ engagement in writing in a flipped classroom through a self-developed questionnaire based on a meta-construct developed by Fredericks et al. (2004). One hundred and eighteen students involved in a writing course at tertiary level participated voluntarily in the study. The findings suggest that FCA is able to engage students in the writing process as demonstrated by high means reported for all three constructs, namely emotion (3.88), cognition (3.95) and behaviour (3.96). This study recommends FCA to be employed in all areas of language learning and offers practical guidelines for instructors and learners to maximise the flipped classroom experience.
4-THE IMPRINT OF SEDIMENT-DERIVED FLUIDS ON MELTING OF MORB AMPHIBOLITE IN A SUBDUCTION SETTING ( SIERRA DEL CONVENTO MÉLANGE , CUBA )

Major and trace element geochemical signatures and Sr–Nd isotope data of muscovite (Ms)-bearing amphibolite blocks and associated muscovite-bearing trondhjemitic and quartz-muscovite rocks from the Sierra del Convento mélange (eastern Cuba) indicate that oceanic crust underwent partial melting processes during subduction and accretion to the upper plate triggered by the infiltration of fluids evolved from the subducting sediments. REE patterns of the Ms-trondhjemites are fractionated (2<(La/Yb)n<62), with LREE enrichment and HREE depletion. These patterns are similar to adakitic melts formed by partial melting of mafic material at moderate to high pressure. Indeed, Ms-trondhjemites from Sierra del Convento mélange exhibit geochemical features considered distinctive of adakites, including SiO2>56 wt %, high Na2O contents (4.5-9 wt.%), (K 2O/Na2O)≈0.42, Mg#≈50, LREE enrichment, HREE depletion, and high La/Yb and Sr/Y. We consider that these rocks represent an end-member of the volcanic arcs series formed at depth in the subduction environment that did not react with the mantle wedge before eruption. Furthermore, we have identified the crystallization products (QtzMs rocks, highly enriched in LILE, K and Ba) of the primary fluids evolved from subducted sediments that infiltrated the accreted blocks of MORB amphibolite and promoted their partial melting under water-saturated conditions.
Macroinvertebrate species diversity comparison among a restored and an unrestored part in the Sege River , Sweden

Restoration ecology has become more and more of interest in the last decades as streams and rivers in Europe are highly affected through diffuse pollution and physical degradation (EU Commission, 2007). Sege’s basin is located in the southwest of Scania and restoration measures have been undertaken in 2008 within the Sege Project (2000-2021). To increase habitat-heterogeneity stones, rocks and boulders have been added in the river bed to modify the otherwise homogeneous conditions in the stream. Additionally trees have been planted to create shading conditions. As an increase in different habitat should promote species diversity (Ricklef &Schulter, 1993) we expected to find a higher diversity in macroinvertebrates in the restored part than in the unrestored part of the Sege River section. Through kick-sampling we investigated macroinvertebrates species diversity in the restored area as well as in the unrestored area, within a section of the Sege River. Contrary to our hypothesis we didn’t find any significant difference in macroinvertebrate species diversity among the two different parts. Though, our results are not surprisingly when comparing with previous studies (Palmer et al., 2010).
Manifold reuse of silicon substrate in the layer transfer process with porous silicon

Considering the rapid depletion of fossil fuels the importance of renewable energy is rising. Solar photovoltaics (PV) are on the forefront of the new energy technologies that are considered green. A major disadvantage of PV, especially of the prevalent silicon PV technology, is that it is still very costly and the production is difficult due to the very specific conditions needed for a good cell to be achieved. To reduce the overall cost of production, many new concepts for solar cells have been developed. Organic photovoltaics, dye-sensitized, CIGS and other thin-film solar cells are clear representative of such attempts. While those technologies are/have the potential to be cheaper, that also comes at certain costs like lower stability, lifetime and efficiency. On the other hand the current silicon PV technologies are on the opposite spectrum where the material and production costs are a limiting factor in the adoption of the technology. Thus a method for reducing the material expenses is a viable solution to making silicon solar cells more accessible. Such is the i-module concept where it is predicted that the amount of silicon (Si) used for the creation of a cell will be 10 times less than that needed for the current state-of-art silicon cells. There a thin-film of silicon is being epitaxially grown with CVD on a substrate. Afterwards, the film is being detached and further processed into a highly efficient solar cell, while the parent is further re-used for the growth of another thinfilm. Theoretically the number of re-uses is in the order of several hundreds. The current work presents the first steps taken into the realization of successful substrate re-use. It delineates the challenges that need to be overcome as the occurrence of various defects and undesirable features and discusses the steps taken into solving them. While doing this, multiple re-use has been carried out and its feasibility has been proven.
$L$-fuzzy prime ideals and maximal $L$-fuzzy ideals of a poset

We also study and establish some characterizations of them and give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime L-fuzzy ideals in the lattice of all L-fuzzy ideals of a poset. 2010 AMS Classification: 06D72, 06A99
OPTIMAL GAP DISTANCE BETWEEN ROTORS OF MINI QUADROTOR HELICOPTER

This paper describes comparison between virtual simulation of rotors for flying platforms (mini UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and real experiments. During virtual simulation there were conducted similar to real experiments with the use of scanned rotors (with 3D scanner) and same environment conditions. In quadrotor helicopter (quadrocopter) air flows that are going out from rotors and affecting each other were simulated with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software. Analysis of several helicopters that have different distances between rotors on different angular velocities were compared. Optimal gap distance between rotors is determined, when helicopter mass is minimum and rotors are creating maximum lifting force (minimum impact of air flows to each other).
INTENTION TO USE M-GOVERNMENT SERVICES: AGE, GENDER AND EDUCATION REALLY MATTER?

With the highest level of mobile penetration rate, the globe is now moving rapidly into mobile government (M-government). Despite its benefits, the acceptance of m-government services in Malaysia is still not widespread. This study attempts to incorporate the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with perceived risk theory (security risk and privacy risk) to explore its impact towards the intention to use m-government services. Age, gender and education level were also adopted as moderator variables to provide in-depth understanding of citizens’ preference in m-government services. Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modelling method was conducted. The results indicate that the facilitating condition, performance expectancy, social influence, and security risk can be used as the predictor of m-government services adoption. These findings confirm the application of theory in the m-government context, which provide valuable insight to the government, citizens as well as future researchers to implement a successful m-government for a better communication between government and citizens
Lean Body Mass Index is an Indicator of Body Composition for Screening Prospective Young Adult Soccer Players

Soccer coaches and scientists are interested in key factors that can discriminate successful players and team from less successful ones (Reilly et al., 2000). In general, elite soccer players are taller, heavier and muscularity (le Gall et al., 2010; Nevill et al., 2009; Reilly et al., 2000). In addition, it has been shown that not only body size (e.g. body height and mass) but also body shape parameters such as body mass index (BMI) and reciprocal ponderal index (RPI), which are calculated from body height (BH) and body mass (BM), can be outcome parameters for discriminating successfully soccer players from others (le Gall et al., 2010; Nevill et al., 2009; Rebelo et al., 2013). le Gall et al. (2010) revealed that elite youth soccer players who succeeded in singing a contract as a full-time professional had greater body size than those who did not acquire a professional contract on graduation from an elite youth academy. Furthermore, RPI has been shown to be higher in top six teams of England premier league than bottom rank teams in the 200304 season (Nevill et al., 2009). Taken together, it is reasonable to assume that anthropometrical variables may be useful outcome measures for screening elite soccer players. In addition to body size, body composition has also been shown to be one of the indicators for screening prospective soccer players. In fact, Japanese professional players over 23 years have great LBM relative to BH (LBM/BH), compared to elite youth ones under 22 years (Hoshikawa, 2009). According to allometric scaling, BH is cubically proportional to BM, and LBM (Asmussen & Heeboll-Nielsen, 1955). If so, normalizing LBM by BH (i.e., LBM/BH) would produce a bias, being dependent on BH. Furthermore, an empirical study has shown that adult humans are not geometrically similar to each other (Nevill et al., 2004). This suggests that mass components cannot be simply normalized in accordance with the allometric scaling. On the other hand, Hattori (1991) have demonstrated that LBM/BH2 and FM/BH2, defined as Lean Body Mass Index is an Indicator of Body Composition for Screening Prospective Young Adult Soccer Players
Axial Bearing Capacity of Composite-Sectioned Square Concrete-Filled Steel Tube ( Css-Cfst ) Columns Stub Reinforced by Circular Steel Tube

This paper presents the analysis of calculation methods on the bearing capacity of composite-sectioned square concretefilled steel tube (CSS-CFST) columns under axial compression. Comparison between the calculation results and measured data was conducted with 27 CSS-CFST stub column specimens. The average value or standard deviation of the calculation and tested axial ultimate strength were found overestimated or underestimated. Based on the ABAQUS software, the nonlinear finite element model of CSS-CFST columns was established, and the nonlinear model was validated by experimental results. A revised simplified method for the axial ultimate strength of CSS-CFST columns was proposed herein, according to the axial mechanical behavior analysis by the validated nonlinear FEA model. A good agreement was found between the predicted results and measured data, which could be referred in the further research on the mechanical behavior of the CSS-CFST columns or for the application in constructions.
Efficacy of dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant for elective cesarean sections : a meta-analysis of randomized trials

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant for elective caesarean section. Methods: We searched the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant in elective caesarean section in PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases. Results: 11 RCTs were included. Overall, compared with control intervention in patients with elective cesarean section, dexmedetomidine intervention could significantly improve the characteristics of the block, including onset of sensory block (MD: -1.31 minutes; 95% CI: -2.68 to -0.06; P < 0.1), onset of motor block (MD: -0.79 minutes; 95% CI: -1.13 to -0.46; P < 0.05), duration of the sensory block (MD: 64.30 minutes; 95% CI: 21.67 to 106.93; P < 0.05) and duration of the motor block (MD: 24.69 minutes; 95% CI: 8.67 to 44.31; P < 0.05). Additionally, when compared with control group dexmedetomidine could prolong time to rescue analgesia (SMD: 3.81; 95% CI: 2.92 to 4.70; P < 0.05) and reduce the fentanyl consumption (RR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.10-0.38, P < 0.05). The incidence of shivering in the dexmedetomidine group was significantly lower than that in the control group (RR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.29-0.58, P < 0.05). The incidences of nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension and pruritus were not different between the two groups. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant can improve the characteristics of the block, prolong time to rescue analgesia, reduce fentanyl consumption, and decrease the incidence of shivering during elective cesarean section.
PROBLEM DECOMPOSITION IN BLOCK-SEPARABLE CONVEX OPTIMIZATION : IDEAS OLD AND NEW

Problem decomposition in convex optimization can take several forms, but one of the most important is seen in the case of block-separable constraints and objectives. Such structure is able to support solution methodology in which, in each iteration, individual agents solve separate subproblems that incorporate input from a “coordinating entity. ” Here the history of that approach to computation will be reviewed with its accomplishments and shortcomings, and a new primaldual decomposition algorithm will be presented. In that procedure augmented Lagrangians for subproblems, instead of for the problem as a whole, have a key role.
International Business Cycles and Remittance Flows * Arusha

In this paper, we investigate the macroeconomic determinants and the effect of host country business cycles on remittance inflows. Estimating a dynamic panel data model by the system GMM, we document that remittance inflows are pro-cyclical to home country volatility but counter-cyclical to the volatility in host countries. This result does not hold for high income counties for which remittance inflows are acyclical to home country volatility but pro-cyclical to the volatility in host countries. For a host country, remittance outflows are counter-cyclical to the volatility of home countries. Trade openness is the single most important factor that determines both remittance inflows and outflows for the home and host countries, respectively.
