Influence of Puncturing Tsusanli Point on the Gastrointestinal Hormone of the Plasma of the Patients with Functional Dyspepsia

Objective:To investigate the influence of puncturing Tsusanli point on the hormone of the stomach and intestine of the plasma of FD patients and possible action of the hormone in FD pathogen and its clinical meaning.Methods:Drew 5 ml of blood of 20 FD patients before and after puncturing Tsusanli point respectively.Using radio immune analytical method to survey the content of molitin,gastrin,somatostatin of the fasting plasma of the patients.Results:After puncturing Tsusanli point the content of the molitin of the plasma was increased obviously.In comparison with prepuncturing point Tsusanli there was a remarkable difference(P 0.01 ). The content of somatostatin was decreased obviously.In comparison with prepuncturing point Tsusanli there was a remarkable difference(P 0.05 ),molitin of basic plasma of FD patient was lower remarkably than that of health persons.Conclusion:Puncturing Tsusanli point may make the content of molitin of FD patients increase.Content somatostatin decrease,which shows that there is a good adjusting effect of the hormone of the stomach and intestine.At the Same time it pointed out that the hormone of the stomach and intestine may participate in onset of the functional dyspepsia or the process of pathology and physiology.
Investigation and analysis of latent syphilis among inpatients

Objective To investigate infection status of latent syphilis among inpatients in general hospital.Methods The clinical data of 249 cases of latent syphilis during October 2005 to September 2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in the gender distribution of 249 cases of latent syphilis.Latent syphilis was observed in every stratum of people aged more than 20 years old,while patient aged more than 60 years old were accounted for high than normal stake of latent syphilis(35.74%). The patients of latent syphilis trend went up in recent years.Latent syphilis might occur in departments of orthopedics,general surgery,gynecology,etc,and department of orthopedics was the most likely place of latent syphilis infection.The titer of latent syphilis TRUST was relatively lower and 62.65% were in ratio of 1∶4. Conclusions The distribution of age stratum for latent syphilis infection is wide,and latent syphilis infection is observed in elderly populations.The patients of latent syphilis trend go up in recent years.Cases of latent syphilis are widespread in hospitalized patients with epidemiological characteristics.Routine syphilis screening of inpatients by using early detection test is one of the effective measures to prevent the spread of syphilis.
The Effects of Practice on Auditory Vigilance Task Performance

To determine the effects of practice on auditory vigilance task performance, twenty-eight individuals completed five sessions of testing of auditory Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs). Two types of computerized CPTs were employed, a cognitive task using letters of the alphabet as stimuli, and a sensory task using tones as stimuli. Each participant heard either the letter or the tone task daily for five days and additionally heard the other task on the first and last day. Participants responded to targets , which were two immediately successive stimuli that were exactly the same, by pressing a button connected to the computer . Both tasks lasted for 15 minutes and were equivalent in terms of target number and placement. Data were broken down by task , day and three minute blocks within each day. Dependent measures collected by the computer were accuracy , reaction time, and number of false alarms. A second focus of this study was to further investigate the differences noted in the literature regarding differences in vigilance decrement for sensory and cognitive tasks. A third goal was to evaluate the reliability of these two CPT tasks. The results of repeated measures ANOV As indicated that performance as measured by reaction time, accuracy, and number of false alarms did not change significantly with practice. Additionally, vigilance and latency decrements did not significantly vary between tasks or across days. The test-retest reliability of the CPT was determined to be moderate based on correlations over days for each of the performance measures . Interpretations of these results are discussed.
School mental health professionals’ training, comfort, and attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration with pediatric primary care providers

Abstract Despite the well-documented need for interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between school mental health (SMH) professionals and pediatric primary care providers (PCPs), research on current collaborative practices of these professionals is limited. Accordingly, using survey methodology, this study investigated SMH professionals’ previous training and training interests, degree of comfort with, attitudes toward, and current practices in IPC with pediatric PCPs. The majority of SMH professionals reported having received some training in IPC and endorsed high levels of interest in additional training. Further, comfort in IPC skills varied considerably based on the skill queried. While SMH professionals indicated IPC was of high importance, results revealed the relative infrequency of IPC with pediatric PCPs. Finally, increased frequency of IPC with pediatric PCPs was associated with positive attitudes toward IPC. Study results underscore the importance of addressing attitudes toward IPC and have implications for advancing research and training in SMH professionals IPC with pediatric PCPs.
An Analysis into the volunteering motivations of individuals in Denmark

Even though volunteering is amongst the most common pro-social activities, there are many uncertainties and discrepancies in regard to specific motivations that lead to undertaking voluntary work. This is particularly important as there has been a cultural shift in many European countries which could lead to a significant human value changes. Therefore, this empirical study examines the impact of human values on the motivations to volunteer. Moreover, knowing the link between happiness and volunteering, we also draw an assumption that the high level of happiness in Denmark affects the relation between the other two variables. Using data from European Social Survey (ESS), we analysed 1,614 respondents from Denmark. Our findings suggest that out of the three prominent values in Denmark, self- enhancement, conservation and openness to change, only the first one moderately motivated people to undertake voluntary work. Moreover, the study found a significant negative relation between happiness and volunteering, but the emotion did not moderate the relation between the three human values and voluntary work.

Mobilizing Pakistani heritage, approaching marriage

ABSTRACT This paper examines the ongoing significance of Pakistani heritage in the lives of young British Pakistani Muslims. Drawing upon interviews with 56 women and men, it explores the link between Pakistani heritage and young peoples’ lives, focusing upon marriage. Pakistani heritage is widely regarded as a constraint and an anachronism, which young people are jettisoning in favour of religious or secular identities: as Muslims, British, or both. This is a half-truth, at most. Some young people are turning away from Pakistaniness, but others are embracing and exploring versions and elements of this heritage as they make decisions about whether, when and whom to marry. Whether they are rejecting or embracing Pakistani heritage, young people are actively mobilizing the terms “Pakistan” and “Pakistani” as springboards from which to identify and make life choices. They are exploring possibilities rather than acknowledging inevitabilities, and approaching heritage as a resource rather than a constraint.
Assessing the Friendship Quality of Children between the Ages of 9 and 12 Based on Certain Variables

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the friendship qualities of 9-12 years old students differ according to socio-demographic variables. The study group consisted of 667 students attending the 3 th , 4 th , 5 th and 6 th grades of the schools in the Battalgazi district of Malatya in the 2018-2019 academic year. A personal information form prepared by the researcher to collect demographic data and the Friendship Quality Scale were used to measure friendship quality levels. In the data analysis, mean, independent sample t test, oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. According to the findings, it was found out that the dimensions of friendship quality, which students attach the most importance to, were trust, validation and support, self-disclosure, conflict, companionship and recreation; the least important the dimension of friendship quality is the help and guidance. According to the of gender, grade level, academic achievement and economic status, there is a significant difference in of the students' friendship quality. According to gender, female students' friendship quality was found to be higher levels than boys students. The grade level progressed, the level of friendship quality of the students increased. It has been found that the increase in academic achievement of students positively affects the quality of friendship. It was observed that the increase in the economic status of the students positively reflects the friendship quality.

The Face of Sexualization: Faces Wearing Makeup are Processed Less Configurally than Faces Without Makeup

Human bodies are sometimes cognitively objectified, i.e., processed less configurally and more analytically, in a way that resembles how most objects are perceived. Whereas how people process images of sexualized bodies appearing in the mass media has been well documented; whether subtler manifestations of sexualization, such as wearing makeup, might elicit cognitive objectification of ordinary women’s faces, remains unclear. The present paper aims at filling this gap. We hypothesized that faces wearing makeup would be processed less configurally than faces wearing no makeup. Sixty participants took part in a face recognition task, in which faces wearing or not wearing makeup were presented. In regards to faces with no makeup, people recognized face parts better in the context of whole faces than in isolation, which served as evidence of configural processing. In regards to faces wearing makeup, face parts were recognized equally well when presented in isolation vs. in the context of whole faces; evidence of a lower configural processing. That pattern of results was driven by eye makeup (vs. lipstick). Implications for research on objectification and sexualization are discussed.
Success of distance learning graduates and the role of intrinsic motivation

ABSTRACT This study explored the perceptions of 51 graduates of a distance learning health and social care programme, identifying what factors contributed to students continuing for the duration of their distance learning studies and completing their degree. An appreciative inquiry approach was used to identify the positive aspects of the students’ experience. Support from family, tutors and employers as well as flexibility of studying at The Open University UK, enabled graduates to continue their studies. A key aspect of the graduates’ success was the supportive feedback received from tutors, which they reported enabled them to build their knowledge, skills and confidence as they progressed to completion of their degree. Flexibility came in different forms, from being able to access their learning materials at any time around their busy lives, to tutors being very responsive to students’ needs. The findings are discussed in relation to the students’ development of competence and autonomy, factors that contribute to strengthen students’ intrinsic motivation.
Differences in Parent Involvement Perceptions: A Quantitative Study of Soldiers with Children in Elementary School

This study examined perceptions of effective parent involvement for military parents with children in elementary school. Schools can cater to the needs of military parents by offering activities that parents prefer when consideration is given to rank and the grade level of the child. The population included soldiers stationed at an Army post in the southeastern part the United States. The target population was military parents with children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The sample population included the military parents with children enrolled in elementary schools near the Army installation. A causal-comparative research design was used to compare mean scores of parents’ perception of effective parent involvement. A modified version of the Effective Parent Involvement: Parent and Teacher Perceptions Survey evaluated the perceptions of effective parent involvement based on five dimensions. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the difference in perception means of officers and enlisted soldiers who have students in a military-affiliated elementary school and perception mean scores according to grade level. Extreme outliers were checked using box plots. Scatterplots were used to check for linear relationships between dimensions. The multivariate homogeneity of covariance test was Box’s M. Levene’s test for homogeneity of variances was used. Cronbach’s alpha was conducted for reliability of the instrument’s dimensions. The findings of this study revealed the lack of parent involvement is not due to military rank or the grade level of the child.

Effectively Involving Low-SES Parents in Human Capital Development: Evidence from a Field Experiment

In this paper we analyze the effect of involving parents in human capital investment. We study the effect of a parental app on student effort in a digital homework practice tool, and its effect on subsequent human capital development. The randomized field experiment includes more than 2000 7-9 grade students of 2 schools and we specifically focus on different socio-economic status (SES) groups. The results indicate that parental involvement via an app positively affects effort and human capital development of 7th and 8th grade students, but not of 9th grade students. The positive effects are mainly driven by low-SES students and are larger for males.
Measuring In-Service Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Inclusive Education

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to elaborate a scale to measure In-service Teachers’ Attitudes about Inclusive Education (ITAIE). The 18-item scale was developed using a sample of 264 in-service teachers. Factor analysis indicated five categories: 1) the psychosocial competences of teachers, (2) the psycho-pedagogical advantages of the inclusive education, (3) pedagogical and classroom management skills, (4) technical-material and specialised training resources, (5) the effects of the inclusive education. Construct validity was shown by the relationships of the scales to several constructs. The new scale meets psychometric criteria of reliability and validity.
“Bullies tend to be obvious”: autistic adults perceptions of friendship and the concept of ‘mate crime’.

Abstract Mate crime is a specific subset of hate crime in which the perpetrator is known to the victim. The aim of the current study was to examine perceptions of friendship and the concept of mate crime in autistic adults. Five adults were interviewed about their experiences of social interactions, friendships and mate crime. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis revealed three superordinate themes: (1). Perceptions and ‘learning the formula’ (2). Socialising… ‘It’s more complicated than that’, and (3). ‘Taking Advantage of You’. Themes highlight the importance of further research into positive and negative aspects of social relationships in autistic adults, and the need to challenge attitudes around disability and provide support to those who may be socially vulnerable.

MR ENDPLATE CHANGES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED DISC INFLAMMATORY MEDIATOR PRODUCTION

Recently there has been considerable interest in the role of inflammatory mediator production by herniated degenerate discs. Modic has described MR endplate changes which have an inflammatory appearance and have been linked with discogenic back pain. To date there has been no biomechanical investigation of discs with associated Modic changes. The aim of this study is to determine if degenerate discs with associated Modic changes have higher levels of pro-inflammatory mediator production than those without Modic changes. Intervertebral disc tissue was obtained from 52 patients undergoing spinal surgery for sciatica [40] and discogram proven discogenic low back pain [12]. The tissue was cultured and the medium analysed for interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and prostaglandin E2 using an enzyme linked immunoabsorbetn assay method. Preoperative MR images of the patients were examined by a double blinded radiologist to determine the Modic status of the cultured disc level. Forty percent of patients undergoing surgery for discogenic low back pain had a Modic 1 change compared to only 12.5% of patients undergoing surgery for sciatica [p . 05, PGE2: NEG v M1 p Modic changes have been associated with positive provocative discography by a number of authors. Pain generation requires the presence of nerves and hyperalgsia inducing mediators. Both IL-8 and PGE2 are known to induce hyperalgesia. The fact that Modic changes are associated with high levels of production of these mediators supports their role as an objective marker of discogenic low back pain.
High-Status Pro-Environmental Behaviors: Costly, Effortful, and Visible

Diffusion of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) is known to be influenced by the perceived social status of those behaviors, but little is known about what gives PEBs social status. A sample of Australian residents (N = 601) were asked to rate the social status of 16 PEBs and report their self and public environmental identities. Environmental identities accounted for 18% to 19% of the variance in social status ratings. Efficiency behaviors were perceived as conveying the greatest social status, and activism behaviors the least. Visibility, cost, and effort also predicted perceived social status. Short-answer responses indicated the social status ratings of PEBs were also dependent on the perceived environmental motivations for performing those behaviors. Understanding which PEBs are seen as high status provides insight into PEBs that may be easiest to promote and sheds light on the broader social structures that influence social status perceptions.
