Young Children's School Day Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity in Interactive versus Non-Interactive Active Video Games.

Differences between interactive active video games (AVGs) and non-interactive AVGs on sedentary behavior, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity has never been compared. Therefore, the purpose of this study to compare differences between two AVGs modalities on sedentary behavior, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity implemented within an academic classroom setting in children. Participants were 44 children (20 girls; mean age = 7.68 ± 1.49 years) from two elementary schools. Over 3 weeks, children in the non-interactive AVGs group completed three 10-minute classroom-based AVGs sessions daily (Monday-Friday). Children in the interactive video gaming group spent an identical amount of time daily in classroom-based AVGs. Participants’ school day sedentary behavior and physical activity were assessed across 3 weeks using accelerometers. Linear mixed effects models were employed to compare differences between AVGs modalities across 3 weeks on sedentary behavior and physical activity controlling for the potential confounding of age and sex. Children participating in the interactive video gaming had a 14.4% greater increase in sedentary behavior, a 2.4% greater increase in light physical activity, and a 7.4% greater decrease in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity from Week 1 to Week 3 relative to non-interactive AVGs (p < 0.001). After adjusting for age and sex, across all time-points, children who participated in interactive gaming had lower sedentary behavior (mean difference = -45.8%, p < 0.001), lower light physical activity (mean difference = -5.1%, p = 0.034), and higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (mean difference = 24.7%, p < 0.001) compared to children participating in non-interactive AVGs. Although children participating in the 3-week interactive video gaming had lower sedentary behavior, lower light physical activity, and higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity compared to noninteractive gaming, the magnitude of the differences were not sustained across the intervention.

Regulatory effect of Zehuang Granule and its disassembled prescriptions on AQP1 expression in kidney of diabetic rats

Objective: To observe the relationship between the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and the abnormal fluid metabolism in diabetic nephropathy rats and to explore the preventive and therapeutic mechanism of Zehuang Granule and its disassembled prescriptions. Methods: Diabetic rat model was induced by high glucose and high fat feedstuff with low-dosage streptozotocin. The rats were randomized into the model group, the control group treated with western medicine, the group treated with Zehuang Granule, the seperated prescriptions group, and a normal group was also set up. The levels of blood glucose(BG),triacylglycerol(TG),total cholesterol(TC),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc), serum creatinine (Scr) and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) index were measured at the end of 12th week. The renal was observed for pathomorphology change. Western-Blot and RT-PCR were adopted to detect the protein and mRNA expression of AQP1 respectively in the kidney of each group, with β-actin as internal control. Restult: The levels of BG, TG, HbA1c in group treated with Zehuang Granule and western medicine decreased significantly compared with the model group( P <0.01); As well as the levels of TC, Scr, BUN ,UAER in group treated with Zehuang Granule and its seperated prescriptions compared with group treated with western medicine( P <0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of AQP1 and AQP1 mRNA in kidney of group treated with western medicine, Zehuang Granule and the seperated prescriptions group were obviously up-regulated. Conclusion: Zehuang Granule and its disassembled prescriptions can up-regulate the expression of AQP1 in rat kidney, which might be its mechanism of regulating fluid metabolism, and also be the basis of preventing and treating diabetic nephropathy.

The complex task in a running video is to efficiently track the target with respect to its vary in position. The Mean Shift algorithm can be applied robustly and quickly to track the object. Local binary pattern is the technique through which a neighborhood of a pixel is determined by its binary derivatives. So the LBP can be employed in the field of pattern and movement recognition. In the proposed work mean shift algorithm will effectively track the target object applied along with LBP and joint color histogram in real time videos.
Life Events and Recovery from Trauma: A Three-Year Follow-Up after Post-Disaster Teacher-Mediated Intervention

Background: There is growing interest regarding the link between adversity and subsequent adaptation. Some argue that moderate stress is beneficial, while others claim that is deleterious. This study explored the association between pre-disaster stressful life events (SLEs) and the long-term post-disaster functioning of children who survived an earthquake and underwent a psychological intervention. These children displayed better functioning than nonintervention children three years later. Method: The sample included 66 children who participated in a teacher-delivered intervention. Pre-intervention (Time 1), we assessed SLEs experienced on the year prior to the earthquake and posttraumatic symptoms (PTS). Three years later (Time 2), PTS and daily functioning were assessed. One-way ANOVAs compared PTS, PTS decline and daily functioning of SLE categories. Results: Marginally significant and significant main effects were found for PTS at Time 1 and PTS decline, respectively. Post-hoc analyses showed greater SLEs were associated with higher PTS at Time 1, greater PTS decline, and better functioning at Time 2. Limitations: Due to the nature of disaster research, a parallel non-intervention control group was not assessed. Conclusion: Though suffering more in the short-term, children experiencing higher pre-disaster adversity have the potential to function better if helped to process the trauma.
Modelling Social Situations: Trust and Cooperation Among Strangers of Unequal Status1

This paper presents a process of constructing and testing a new theoretical model, one which explains how status differentiation affects cooperation between partners involved in one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) situations. Bridging claims from status characteristics and collective action theories, we predict that in a PD where actors are differentiated by salient status distinctions, the rate of cooperation will vary depending on the partner’s status relative to the focal actor, as well as on whether it is a simultaneous or sequential game. In order to demonstrate the challenges involved in constructing and testing new models, we describe two different one-shot, two-person PD experiments, which are designed to test our predictions. We conclude with both substantive and methodological discussion.

MUSIC EMOTION CLASSIFICATION: DATASET ACQUISITION AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS TEMPLATES FOR DAFX-08, FINLAND, FRANCE

In this paper we present an approach to emotion classification in audio music. The process is conducted with a dataset of 903 clips and mood labels, collected from Allmusic database, organized in five clusters similar to the dataset used in the MIREX Mood Classification Task. Three different audio frameworks – Marsyas, MIR Toolbox and Psysound, were used to extract several features. These audio features and annotations are used with supervised learning techniques to train and test various classifiers based on support vector machines. To access the importance of each feature several different combinations of features, obtained with feature selection algorithms or manually selected were tested. The performance of the solution was measured with 20 repetitions of 10-fold cross validation, achieving a F-measure of 47.2% with precision of 46.8% and recall of 47.6%.
Segmenting Motivations for the Satisfaction of Spectators in 2009 World Games

The 2009 World Games was held in Kaoshiung City and attracted over 260 thousand visitors. The motivations for spectators joined in World Games are quite different. One way to meet the needs and increase the satisfactions of spectators is to identify segmentation in a market based on their motivations and experiences. The segmentation of motivations would be a successful marketing strategy. This research performed factor and cluster analysis to extract the main dimensions of motivations and segmenting the motivation factors into different groups. The results revealed that the ‘multiple goals seekers’ is most important and largest market segmentation for fans’ motivations and had the highest level of satisfaction in the World Games.
Model Selection Criteria for ANOVA Model with a Tree Order Restriction

In this paper, we consider Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Cp criterion for ANOVA model with a tree ordering (TO) θ1 ≤ θj , (j = 2, . . . , l) where θ1, . , θl are population means. In general, under ANOVA model with the TO, the AIC and the Cp criterion have asymptotic biases which depend on unknown parameters. In order to solve these problems, we calculate (asymptotic) biases, and we derive its unbiased estimators. By using these estimators, we provide an asymptotically unbiased AIC and an “unbiased” Cp criterion for ANOVA model with the TO, called AICTO and TOCp, respectively. Penalty terms of derived criteria are simply defined as a function of an indicator function and maximum likelihood estimators. Furthermore, we show that the TOCp is the uniformly minimum-variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE).
The Tentacular Strike Behavior in Squid: Functional Interdependency of Morphology and Predatory Behaviors During Ontogeny

This study examines the relationship between morphology and predatory behaviors to evaluate the ontogeny of the specialized tentacular strike (TS) in Doryteuthis opalescens squid reared under laboratory conditions [hatching to 80 day-old; 2–16 mm mantle length (ML)]. Ontogenetic morphological changes in the arm-crown and the role played by the arms and tentacles during predatory behavior was correlated with prey types captured and revealed interconnected morphological and behavior traits that enabled paralarvae to perform the TS. Hatchlings have a poorly developed arm-crown and tentacles that resemble and function as arms, in which tentacular clubs (suckerfull non-contractile portion) and stalks (suckerless contractile portion) have not yet formed. Only a basic attack (BA) behavior was observed, involving arms and tentacles, which were not ejected during prey capture. A more elaborated behavior, the arm-net (AN) was first employed by 30 day-old (>4.7 mm ML) paralarvae, in which the tentacles were eject down, but not toward the prey. The TS was first observed in 40–50 day-old (6.7–7.8 mm ML) squid, which stay stationary by sustainable swimming prior to ejecting the tentacles toward the prey. Thus, the ability to perform sustainable swimming and acquisition of swimming coordination (schooling behavior) are prerequisites for the expression of the TS. The arms played the same roles after prey was captured: hold, subdue and manipulate the prey, while the actions performed by the tentacles truly defined each behavior. Prey size captured increased with increasing squid size. Morphometric data showed that hatchlings have little ability of elongating their tentacles, but this ability increases significantly with size. Squid older than 40 days could elongate their tentacles up to 61% of their ML, whereas early paralarvae 13% on average. Paralarvae were frequently observed elongating and contracting their tentacles, while not attempting to capture prey, which could perhaps serve to adjust muscle activity and development, while specializations for the strike – stalks, clubs, muscle fibers, arm-crown and swimming coordination – are still being developed. The expression of the TS is constrained by development in early paralarvae as it involves interdependency of morphology and behavior and as such, represents a major developmental milestone in the early life history of squid.
Educational intervention for improving self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure: A narrative review

Heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and as a chronic and progressive disorder, it can disrupt with interpersonal and social relationships, reduce physical activity, and in fact, impair self-care. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the self-care behavior of the patients with heart failure with effective interventions. There are several ways to improve self-care behavior, and educational interventions are one of these methods. Review of educational interventions causes promotion in self-care behaviors of patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was reviewing the educational intervention for improving self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure. The present study is a narrative review study that uses a search in databases such as Google Scholar, Cochrane, Science Direct, ProQuest, Springer, SID, Magiran, IranMedex, Web of science, Scopus, and PubMed from 2000 to 2018. Search for articles using Keywords: heart failure, self care, education and training. All articles with educational intervention and clinical trial in Persian and English and articles with full-text of individual or group training in the database of internal and library were included in the study, and unrelated articles with just abstract were excluded from the study. Seventy-one articles were finally included, after removing repetitive and nonrelated items. Initially 340 articles were obtained and after reviewing the articles for inclusion criteria, finally 71 articles were included in the study. Educational interventions were divided into four groups: face-to-face teach-back training and home visitation by follow-up phone call, group training, and e-learning. The results of this study showed that four abovementioned educational methods significantly improved self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure. According to the findings of this study, it is recommended to improve self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended to use one-to-one face-to-face, teach back, home visits with telephone follow-up, group training, and e-learning to improve self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure.
Cofilin-actin rod formation in experimental stroke is attenuated by therapeutic hypothermia and overexpression of the inducible 70 kD inducible heat shock protein (Hsp70)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cofilin-actin rods are covalently linked aggregates of cofilin-1 and actin. Under ischemic conditions, these rods have been observed in neuronal dendrites and axons and may contribute to the loss of these processes. Hypothermia (Hypo) and the 70 kD inducible heat shock protein (Hsp70) are both known to improve outcomes after stroke, but the mechanisms are uncertain. Here, we evaluated the effect of these factors on cofilin-actin rod formation in a mouse model of stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mice were subjected to distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) and treated with Hypo using a paradigm previously shown to be neuroprotective. We similarly studied mice that overexpressed transgenic (Tg) or were deficient knockout (Ko) in the inducible 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70), also previously shown to be protective by our group and others. Cofilin-actin rod formation was assessed by histological analysis at 4 and 24 h after dMCAO. Its expression was analyzed in three different regions, namely, infarct core (the center of the infarct), middle cerebral artery (MCA) borderzone (the edge of the brain regions supplied by the MCA), and the ischemic borderzone (border of ischemic lesion). Ischemic lesion size and neurological deficits were also assessed. RESULTS: Both Hypo-treated and Hsp70 Tg mice had smaller lesion sizes and improved neurological outcomes, whereas Hsp70 Ko mice had larger lesion sizes and worsened neurological outcomes. Cofilin-actin rods were increased after stroke, but were reduced by therapeutic Hypo and in Hsp70 Tg mice. In contrast, cofilin-actin rods were increased in ischemic brains of Hsp70 Ko mice. CONCLUSIONS: Cofilin-actin rod formation was suppressed under the conditions of neuroprotection and increased under circumstances where outcome was worsened. This suggests that cofilin-actin rods may act to participate in or exacerbate ischemic pathology and warrants further study as a potential therapeutic target.
Renoprotective effect of umbelliferone in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats

Objective: To evaluate the renoprotective effect of umbelliferone in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats. Methods: We established a streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic model in male Wistar rats. The rats were fed with high-fat diet (45 kcal% lard fat) and injected with 35 mg/kg streptozotocin. Diabetic rats were treated with umbelliferone for 8 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, the serum and kidney were used for measuring biochemical parameters, protein expression and histological analysis. Results: After 8-week treatment, umbelliferone decreased fasting plasma glucose, concentrations of malondialdehyde and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the plasma and tissues. It also significantly reduced serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, serum advanced glycation end products, as well as kidney weight in type 2 diabetic rats (P<0.05). Moreover, umbelliferone reduced the 24-h urine albumin, but increased 24-h urine creatinine excretion (P<0.05). In renal protein expression, umbelliferone decreased the levels of transforming growth factor-ß1 and fibronectin while increasing the levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase (P<0.05). Renal histological examination revealed an enlarged glomerular size in diabetic rats, which was smaller in umbelliferone-treated diabetic rats. Conclusions: Umbelliferone alleviates renal dysfunction in diabetes via decreasing hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation and glycation.
Hepatoprotection by dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and mechanisms

The protection of the liver as an essential organ in the body against oxidative stress and deleterious compounds has been the subject of recent investigations. Among different compounds, medicinal plants play an important role due to their hepatoprotective effects. Taraxacum officinale or “common dandelion” is a popular plant that has been traditionally used for its hepatoprotective effects. Currently, there are limited clinical studies on its hepatoprotective effects. The aim of this review article is to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of dandelion and its mechanism of action. We reviewed literature up to July 2019 on “Taraxacum officinale” or “dandelion” and hepatoprotection. Currently available pharmacological studies indicate that dandelion extracts have hepatoprotective effects against chemical agents due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The anti-inflammatory effects of dandelion, the prebiotic effects of its oligofructans, inhibitory effects against the release of lipopolysaccharides and fasting induced adipose factor, digestive enzymes, and enhancing effects of lipogenesis, reduce lipid accumulation and liver inflammation, which directly or indirectly improve the liver functions. Given emerging evidence on hepatoprotective effects of dandelion, designing large human clinical studies is essential.
Comparison of modular cognitive-behavioral therapy and behavioral activation on the intolerance of uncertainty in students with generalized anxiety disorder

Context: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is one of the most common psychological disorders. The prevalence of GAD among students is higher than the general population. Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of modular cognitive-behavioral therapy (MCBT) and behavioral activation (BA) on the intolerance of uncertainty of students with GAD. Setting and Design: This research was a semi-experimental design with pre- and post-test design with follow-up conducted for two groups in counseling center of Neyshabur University during the period of January–April 2019.Materials and Methods: The study population included all students of Neyshabur University. The samples recruited from students who referred to the counseling center of Neyshabur University (45 cases) based on the purposive sampling method. The students who diagnosed with GAD based on Spitzer general anxiety questionnaire and met criteria (45 cases) randomly assigned into three groups of MCBT (15 cases), BA (15 cases), and control group (15 cases). Statistical Analysis Used: Data were collected using Spitzer general anxiety questionnaire (2006) and Freeston Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (1994). Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 24 software through repeated measure analysis. Results: The findings revealed both intervention groups in reduction of the intolerance of uncertainty in comparison to the control group (P > 0.05). Results reported by participants in the MCBT group showed greater mean scores as compared to the BA group. However, no significant difference found between groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that MCBT implies decreasing the uncertainty severity of students with general anxiety than BA therapy, although the stability of BA therapy was longer. Therefore, it is suggested to use integrated therapeutic approaches.
