An In Vitro Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) on Inhibiting the Growth of Selected Microorganisms in Human Saliva

Background: Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) has been used as a traditional medicine for many years to cure different kinds of diseases. Studies have been reported that Gotu Kola extracts might be used as a cure for oral diseases such as periodontal disease. In the present study, Gotu Kola leaves extracted with water will be used to evaluate its effect on some microorganisms living in the human saliva using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. Material and Method:Gotu Kola fresh leaves extract have been used with water as a solvent, a rotary evaporator was used to separate the solvent from the extract. The following microorganisms: Streptococci, Lactobacilli, and Staphylococcus aureus have been isolated fromthe Saliva of ten volunteers participated in the present study. Nutrient broth tubes have been prepared for MIC test, where various concentrations of the Gotu Kola extracts (0.5mg/ml, 1 mg/ml, 2 mg/ml, 3 mg/ml, 4 mg/ml, and 5 mg/ml) were added, respectively. The tubes incubated at 370C for 48h. Results:The MIC test shows that a concentration of 4 mg/ml have the ability to inhibit the growth of oral Lactobacilli and 8 mg/ml has the ability to inhibit the growth of S. aureuswhich may be due to asiaticoside and asiatic acid which are active ingredients that the leaves extracts consists of. There was no MIC for Streptococci. Conclusion:The Gotu Kola leaves extract can be used to inhibit the growth of some oral microorganisms at certain concentration. Keywords:Centella asiatica, oral microorganisms, antimicrobial activity, minimum inhibitory concentration.
The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and survivin in urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and survivin in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) that has different clinicopathologic characteristics, as well as to determine whether a relationship exists between the COX-2 and survivin expressions. Methods The expressions of COX-2 and survivin were investigated in 30 bladder TCC cases by performing immunohistochemical analysis. Results The normal bladder mucosa did not express COX-2 and survivin. COX-2 immunopositivity and cytoplasmic survivin immunopositivity were seen in 40 and 43% of bladder tumors, respectively. The expressions of COX-2 and survivin were closely related to the differentiation and depth of bladder TCC, and there was a significant correlation in the topographic distribution of COX-2 and survivin immunopositivity. Conclusion These data suggest that COX-2 and survivin may be involved in the progression of bladder TCC and that there is a close correlation between the expressions of COX-2 and survivin.
Academic lexical bundles in graduate-level math texts: A corpus-based expert-approved list

The purpose of this article is to synthesize and analyse the most frequently occurring, widely dispersed and pedagogically useful lexical bundles in mathematical texts. Drawing on a five-million-word corpus of graduate-level textbooks, a total of 65 academic sequences meeting a predefined set of length, frequency and distribution criteria are obtained for functional and structural analyses. Results indicate that the structural forms of the sequences are clausal and that the dominant function is research-oriented. Sequences are rank-ordered according to a composite score obtained as a result of triangulating frequency profiles, distribution proportions and expert judgements. This article concludes by highlighting the pedagogical implications of the study for both language educators and mathematics practitioners.
Strengths and difficulties questionnaire-teacher: Investigating its factor structure and utility with culturally and linguistically diverse students

Abstract The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), with its three forms (youth, parent and teacher version), is widely used to assess emotional and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents. The present study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the teacher version of the scale (SDQ-T) with adolescents from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background. It also explored the impact of demographic factors on the mental health outcomes of CALD adolescents in the school setting as indicated by SDQ-T. Teachers from a Special English language transitional school in Brisbane, Australia completed the SDQ-T for 175 culturally and linguistically diverse adolescents. The exploratory factor analysis indicated a 23-item scale with a four-factor structure: Prosocial Behaviour, Hyperactivity, Emotional Symptoms, and Behavioural Problems. The revised scale had sound internal consistency. Findings indicated that CALD adolescents from refugee backgrounds scored higher on Emotional Symptoms, Conduct and Peer Problems, and SDQ total difficulties. There were no differences on subscale scores based on gender or English language proficiency. SDQ-T emerged as a promising scale that can be used to understand CALD adolescents’ postmigration emotional experiences, risks and protective factors. The implications of the SDQ-T in schools with adolescents from migrant and refugee backgrounds are discussed.
Child Helpers

In most of the worlds' distinct cultures, children – from toddlerhood – eagerly volunteer to help others with their chores. Laboratory research in child psychology supports the claim that the helper “stage” is biologically based. This Element examines the development of helping in varied cultural contexts, in particular, reviewing evidence for supportive environments in the ethnographic record versus an environment that extinguishes the drive to be helpful in WEIRD children. In the last section, the benefits of the helper stage are discussed, specifically the development of an ability to work and learn collaboratively.
Affording cross‐cultural access to visualized cultural collections: A preliminary case study of e‐dunhuang

E‐Dunhuang is a visual material centered digital library of a UNESCO world heritage. This study aims to identify how users in different cultural backgrounds seek and use cultural heritage information on e‐Dunhuang, as well as their perceptions and opinions toward that. As a preliminary report, this poster focuses on the visual content (i.e. images, panorama) of e‐Dunhuang, which is arguably the most prominent component in this platform. Results of usability tests and follow‐up interviews reveal that users had polarized opinions. The findings can inform cross‐cultural access to cultural heritage collections dominant with visual content.
Perceptions of nursing as a career amongst health-studies students and university-based nursing students

Background: Many students in health-related pre-nursing programmes desire to work in the nursing profession, whereas university nursing students may leave after graduation for other career opportunities. A better understanding of these students’ perceptions of nursing as a career may support effective career counseling and recruitment of suitable candidates to join the nursing profession. Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of nursing as a career amongst health-studies students and university-based general nursing students in Hong Kong. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sampling of 562 students; including 279 health-studies students (49.6%) and 283 university-based general nursing students (50.4%) aged between 18 and 32 years using a selfdeveloped Nursing Career Perception Questionnaire (NCPQ). The content validity index (CVI) was 0.92 and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.88 for the Variables Influencing Perceptions of Nursing as a Career Scale (VIPNC Scale) (with subscales of 0.73 to 0.81) and 0.78 for the Perceptions of Nursing as a Career Scale (PNC Scale) (with subscales of 0.51 to 0.73). The test-retest reliability, repeated two weeks apart, ranged from 0.80 to 0.91 (p < 0.001). Result: The three most positive perceptions of nursing as a career involved saving lives and helping people, the professionalism and importance of nursing, and unbiased gender roles. The three most negative perceptions were related to shift duty, the
Diagnostic value of Omeprazole test in gastro-esophageal reflux disease

Objective To observe the diagnostic value of Omeprazole (Losec) test in gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Methods According to clinical manifestations and results of esophageal 24 h pH monitoring and gastro-esophageal endoscopy, 152 patients with reflux symptoms (123 GERD, 29 non-GERD) were randomly, double-blindly divided into group A (Omeprazole 20 mg/d for 1 week), group B(Omeprazole 40 mg/d for 2 weeks), and group C (placebo at the first week, Omeprazole 40 mg/d at the 2 nd week). Symptom score from heartburn, acid regurgitation, food regurgitation, and substernal pain, was recorded before and after taking Omeprazole or placebo. Results After taking Omeprazole 1 week, the symptom score decreasing from GERD patients of group A, B and C was 5.0±4.8、4.9±4.6、2.3±4.0 respectively, score decreasing 2 was the best critical value for GERD diagnosis. There was no difference between Omeprazole 20 mg/d and 40 mg/d for 1 week, the results showed that Omeprazole test (20 mg/d for 1 week) has the best diagnostic value for GERD, the diagnostic sensitivity was 82.5%, specificity was 40.1%, coincident rate was 76.7%. Conclusion Omeprazole test is reliable for GERD diagnosis.
Understanding Mass Media Using Facebook Like Activities

With the emergence of social network services, many media organizations have established their fan pages on social platforms (e.g., Facebook and Twitter). They promote their content, disseminate breaking news, interact with the audience, and publish editorials on particular events through fan pages. For readers, these on-line channels not only help them to receive the latest information but also enable them to directly express their endorsement or disagreement toward specific news or articles. According to the observation, in this study, we use the online behaviors to investigate favors/controversy from users to media organizations and to quantify the ideological difference of popular channels and their audience. We collect and analyze the actions of mass media pages on Facebook in a 6-month-long observation in 2018. A total of 19 fan pages of major mass media companies in Taiwan are investigated, and we locate their positions in a two-dimensional space using singular value decomposition. The results demonstrate that online activities from users can help to distinguish and cluster media companies based on several characteristics, including media types (magazines or newspapers), political stands, and their owners. These findings also correspond to previous offline qualitative studies in communication and media disciplines.
Student motivation in Dutch secondary school EFL literature lessons

Abstract Foreign language curricula worldwide have seen a revival of the inclusion of literary texts, promoting so-called language-literature instruction. Responding to the plea for more empirical research in this area, specifically in secondary education, this study investigates the student’s perspective by looking at the relationship between their level of engagement in literature lessons in English as a foreign language (EFL) and how they value these lessons. A total of 365 Dutch students from six secondary schools participated in the study. Data was collected via a four-point Likert-type questionnaire. The findings revealed that students primarily value EFL literature lessons for improving their language proficiency but no significant correlations were found between engagement and language aspects. Implications for curriculum development include a tripartite focus on language learning, literary study, as well as personal development.
Korean Adult English Learners’ Perceptions of the Common Grammatical Features of English as a Lingua Franca

The present study examines Korean adult English learners’ perceptions about English as a lingua franca (ELF) and the common grammatical features of ELF. 276 university students participated in this study through an online survey portal. The survey consists of two parts: part one asks participants’ attitudes and perceptions about ELF statements, and part two is an acceptability judgement task for common grammatical features of ELF. Overall, the participants showed moderately positive attitude toward most ELF statements despite they manifested stronger preference for native speaker-oriented English learning on a few aspects. The results from the acceptability judgement task for 19 grammatical items consistently remained between neutral and slightly positive ranges. These results indicate that the participants already possess the concept of ELF, at least beyond a non-negative stance, and admit the features of ELF as acceptable forms of English for global communication. Participants’ major, study abroad experiences, and experiences of communicating with foreign people did not cause consistent and significant difference in their attitude toward ELF, nor in their acceptability judgements. For timely and effective incorporation of ELF into English classrooms in Korea, further research need to be conducted with various learner groups regarding the perception about ELF, the development of teaching activities and materials, and the empirical data from on-site applications.
Great Escape or Path to Self-Expression?: Development and Validation of a Scale of Motivations for Text Messaging

Abstract The Messaging Motivations Questionnaire (MMQ) is a concise 8-item measure, which consists of two subscales capturing people’s typical motivations to text. The MMQ was developed through focus groups and item analysis based on a pilot study, followed by a larger validation study involving a sample of 982 young adults. Factor analyses supported a 2-factor structure, yielding highly reliable scale scores: Escape, characterized by the wish to escape or avoid internal or external stimuli when texting; and Express, characterized by the use of text messaging over richer forms of communication media to facilitate self-expression. Criterion validity of the MMQ scores was established using measures of problematic smartphone use, social anxiety, self-esteem, and the Big Five dimensions of personality. Women exhibited slightly higher scores on both subscales. There were no race/ethnicity-related MMQ score differences, and marginal age-related differences. The MMQ is a promising tool for counselors to better understand and discuss their young adult clients’ texting behaviors, as well as for future research focused on texting behavior and its consequences.
Child Participation and the Mechanisms for Generating Social Capital in the School Setting - Insights from a Health Promoting School Intervention ‘We Act – Together for health’

Social capital has been found to be important for children’s health, well-being and more broadly their welfare, but little is known regarding how social capital is generated by children within the school setting, drawing on children as active participants. Through an abductive research strategy based on focus group interviews with children age 10-12 years old, the study identifies three forms of participation relating to different practices and thus different opportunities and constrains of generating bonding and bridging social capital in the school context. The study highlights the importance of stressing pupils’ genuine participation as an active social pedagogical principle.
The Effect of Religion on Trait Priority in Potential Partners in Short and Long Term Relationships

This study builds upon previous research that demonstrates how various demographic characteristics, as well as relationship type, affects trait preferences for potential mate partners. This study also explores the potential effects of religious affiliation and religiosity on trait preferences, as no previous research explicitly tests how individuals’ religious affiliation or strength of religiosity influences their rank ordering of potential partner traits. Seven hypotheses were proposed, as well as four points of exploration regarding sexuality, relationship status, religious affiliation, and race were proposed. Hypotheses 1, which predicted that women will rank financial stability higher than men and that men will rank physical attractiveness higher than women; Hypothesis 2, which predicted that gay people will rank religiously-oriented traits and the desire for the same number of children lower than their straight counterparts; Hypothesis 3, which predicted that gay men will rank financial stability higher than straight men and that lesbians will rank intelligence higher than straight women; and Hypothesis 4, which predicted that older people will rank religiously-oriented traits and political and moral similarity higher than younger people, who will rank humor higher, were supported. However, Hypothesis 5, which predicted that religious people will rank religiously-oriented traits higher than nonreligious people, was not supported, with results suggesting an effect opposite to the effect predicted. Hypothesis 6, which predicted that more group differences will be present for long term relationships than short term relationships was mostly supported. Hypothesis 7, which predicted that results will remain consistent across nationalities, was unable to be tested because of inconsistencies in the data. Effects of the proposed exploratory demographics were identified. Possible explanations for unpredicted and exploratory results, as well as limitations and future directions, including remaining gaps in research, are discussed.
Latina Teens’ Identification with and Social Comparison to Mothers on Teen Mom

A survey was conducted with low income Latina teens (M = 13.31 years of age) to examine the ways in which exposure, identification with, and social comparison to teen mothers featured on the MTV program Teen Mom influenced attitudes toward teen pregnancy. Analyses revealed that those who identified with and looked up to the teen mothers on Teen Mom were less likely to think getting pregnant would be embarrassing, a terrible event, or prevent them from achieving their dreams. The identification and upward social comparison processes observed here extend those observed in previous research across ethnic, income, and cultural differences. Implications regarding the potentially negative effects of portrayals of teen motherhood on Teen Mom are discussed.
The ABCS of Sport-related Concussion in Junior Rugby Union: An Analysis of Antecedents, Behaviours, Consequences, and Sociotechnical Systems

Participating in any contact sport comes with an obvious increased risk of injury. The aim of this project was to explore the possible individual differences that may pre-dispose junior (11-17 years old) rugby union players to both sustaining a sport-related concussion, as well as the characteristics and behaviours which may lead them to experience a longer recovery profile following injury. Using a biopsychosocial framework, this research comprised of four major studies; the antecedents which may predict concussion; the behaviours that may increase a player’s risk of sustaining a concussion; the cognitive and emotional consequences of concussion; and a systems analysis of how people within different roles prevent, identify, and treat sport-related concussion. ; Submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of the Sunshine Coast, 2016.
A poststructural approach to organisational identity construction in the UK magazine publishing industry, 2004-13

This thesis adopts a poststructural approach to the study of organisational identity (OI) arguing that, by destabilising the status of both object and subject, poststructuralism places identity at the centre of organisational life, where a poststructural identity is fragmented, dynamic, decentred, relational and contested. However, the essential indeterminacy of poststructural meaning puts pressure on organisational actors to present identity as coherent, stable and agreed-upon in an attempt to fix meanings, avoid uncertainty, and secure legitimacy. The thesis proposes that poststructuralism helps to provide a convincing account of the tension between the centripetal efforts of organisational actors and the centrifugal empirical evidence found in organisational texts and discourses. The thesis further proposes a categorisation of the organisational identity literature into ‘centripetal’ and ‘centrifugal’ approaches to OI, where centripetal approaches present OI in terms of agreed-upon and largely stable attributes of an organisation, and centrifugal approaches consider OI to be fragmented, dynamic and contested. It assesses the theoretical validity of a poststructural approach to the study of OI, explores the feasibility of a robust and valid poststructural methodology, and considers whether a poststructural approach can provide additional explanatory power over existing approaches. The thesis incorporates intertextual analysis, discourse analysis, multimodality, and argumentation as methodological approaches to the study of identity. The thesis is based on an empirical study of three firms operating in the UK magazine publishing industry in the period 2004-13. As its principal data source, the study uses a set of corporate annual reports for the three firms, supplemented by contemporary industry blogs, industry reports, press articles, and interviews with industry figures.
