¿Influye la Retroalimentación Correctiva en el Uso de la Retroalimentación Elaborada en un Entorno Digital?

Digital environments are able to provide corrective feedback such as knowledge of response (KR: correct/incorrect) or knowledge of correct response (KCR: the correct answer is X), along with elaborated feedback (EF: explanations). It is common to assume that students process EF, although recent research shows that this is not always the case, probably because of the corrective feedback provided along with EF. The main goal of this study is to analyze the voluntary decision to access EF depending on KR and KCR feedback received immediately after answering questions from a science text. Secondary students received corrective feedback according to the condition assigned: KR, KCR, or control (i.e., non-corrective feedback). Afterwards, all the students could access EF, that included an explanation about the knowledge assessed. Results suggest that receiving KR and KCR feedback decreases the use of EF compared to control feedback, although there are no differences in the final learning.
EFFECTS OF HIGH SALT DIET ON ARTERIAL REMODELLING AND THE INTERVENTION OF TELMISARTAN IN WISTAR RATS

Objectives To investigate the effects of dietary salt on aorta and mesenteric artery remodelling in Wistar Rats and explore the possible mechanism of salt-induced arterial remodelling and AngiotensinII receptor blockers telmisartan intervention. Methods 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, high salt (8%) model group and high salt+telmisartan group. The tail artery pressure was determined every 2 weeks. After 24 weeks, high salt model group was divided into model hypertension (MH) group and model normal pressure (MN) group. The structural changes and proliferation in the media of aorta and mesenteric arteries were observed by HE staining, Masson staining and immunohistochemical staining. The activities and mRNA levels of Na+ pump and Ca2+ pump in aortic media were determined by enzyme colorimetry and real-time PCR respectively. Results Compared with control group, the blood pressure was significantly increased in MH Group, Media thickness (MT), lumen diameter (LD), ratio of media to lumen (MT/LD), the collagen volume fraction and PCNA positive expressive percentage of arteries in high-salt group were increased (p<0.05), the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase in MH group were decreased (p<0.05). The mRNA expression of Na+-K+-ATPase α1 subunit in MH and MN groups was decreased (P<0.05), and PMCA1 expression raised in MH group, Correlation analysis showed that two ATPase activities and vascular remodelling indicators have a negative correlation (p<0.05). Compared with high-salt group, blood pressure, media thickness, ratio of media to lumen, the collagen volume and PCNA positive expressive percentage were lower in telmisartan group (p<0.05). Conclusions High-salt diet could lead to arterial remodelling directly or indirectly (elevated blood pressure), The decreased ion pump activity and abnormal gene expression may be one of the mechanisms of high-salt induced arterial remodelling. Telmisartan may inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and collagen accumulation, and prevent salt-induced hypertension and arterial remodelling.
Constructing Science Knowledge in Linguistically Diverse South African Classrooms: Opportunities and Challenges for Learning

South Africa is by definition a diverse country, reflecting its colonial past and history of migrations. However, under apartheid that diversity was the foundation of political domination based on the strict enforcement of social, economic, linguistic and spatial separation according to race. Accordingly, there are tensions between the celebration of diversity and the goals of national unity, equality and social justice in post-apartheid South Africa. This is reflected in the motto on the new national coat of arms:! ke e: /xarre //ke, which literally means ‘Diverse people unite’ in /Xam, a minority Khoisan language. These tensions also play out in linguistically diverse classrooms and in part shape the challenges and opportunities for teaching and learning. These issues are
Medicine's Melodies: Music, Health and Well-Being

Most of what we hear about the connection between music and health is largely anecdotal. The past decade has seen a renewed interest in the connections from researchers conducting rigorous experimental studies. In this broad overview, I will review the current state of knowledge, touching on music therapy for both physical and psychological health, music for the management of pain, and musical interventions for dementia patients.
Academic and clinical experience of professor WANG Yan-hui in treatment for cancer with heavy prescription

The academic and clinical experience of WANG Yan-hui, the professor of medical college of Xiamen University, treated the cancer with heavy prescription was introduced in this paper. Professor WANG Yan-hui thought that excess syndrome was the essential syndrome of cancer and the pathogenic effect of phlegm and blood stasis was throughout its whole process. In the pathological mechanism of cancer, phlegm and blood stasis were relatively invariable, on the contrary the others such as qi stagnation, coldness and heat, lung deficiency, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency and so on were variable. In the treatment of cancer, heavy prescription was used by professor WANG, who paid attention to reduce phlegm and resolve masses, promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis, the balance of eliminating evil and strengthening the body resistance, the regulation of coldness and heat and the ascent, descent, going out and in of qi. Professor WANG thought that the distinctive effect of Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer should be valued. Finally, two typical cases were selected for showing the academic characteristic of professor WANG in the treatment of cancer.
Exploring the relation between maternal mind-mindedness and children's symbolic play: A longitudinal study from 6 to 18 months.

Relations between mothers' mind-mindedness (appropriate attunement to their infants' internal states) at 6 and 12 months and infants' early symbolic play during infant-mother pretense at 12 and 18 months were investigated in a sample of 43 mothers and infants. Mothers' appropriate mind-related comments were associated with average level, length, complexity, and maturity level of symbolic play. Specific sub-categories of appropriate mind-related comments were identified as independent predictors of children's symbolic play. Appropriate comments about desires and cognitions at 6 months were associated with average level and length of episodes, as well as with maturity level of symbolic play at 12 months. Longitudinal stability in the appropriateness and content of mothers' mind-related comments was also investigated. The results are discussed in terms of the proposal that attunement to specific types of internal state should vary as a function of infant age in order to index mind-mindedness.
Human Capital Returns to Education: Three Essays on the Causal Effects of Schooling on Skills and Health

This dissertation estimates returns to education in terms of skills and health as important aspects of human capital given their importance in determining economic outcomes. The dissertation is based on three independent empirical research articles which constitute the three main chapters 2, 3, and 4, and a comprehensive introduction in Chapter 1 and conclusion in Chapter 5. The analyses exploit several exogenous variations in German educational policies and apply state-of-the art microeconometric techniques for causal inference. The chapters complement each other in three dimensions: First, each chapter looks at different aspects of education, together considering both qualitative measures – including the curriculum, learning intensity, and timing – as well as quantitative factors – like years of schooling. Second, while all chapters estimate non-monetary effects of education, each investigates a specific dimension of human capital, overall addressing cognitive skills, non-cognitive skills, and health. Third, to complement each other from a life-course perspective, different age groups are analyzed including seventeen-year old adolescents still enrolled in secondary education, young adults at the time of graduating from high school, and adults between the ages 50 and 85, long after the completion of secondary education. Chapter 2 investigates the short-term effects of a reduction in the length of high school on students’ personality traits using a school reform carried out at the state level in Germany as a quasi-natural experiment. Starting in 2001, academic-track high school education was reduced by one year in most of Germany’s federal states, with the overall curriculum left unchanged. This enabled students to obtain their university entrance qualification after only 12 rather than 13 years of schooling, but it increased learning intensity through an increase in weekly class hours. Exploiting the variation in the length of high school over time and across states, the effect of learning intensity on students’ Big Five personality traits and on their locus of control is identified. Using representative data on adolescents and young adults from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study, the estimates show that shortening high school caused students to be less emotionally stable. Furthermore, the results point to
Engaging All Learners Through Quality Early Childhood Teacher Education

This chapter guides early childhood teacher educators, teachers, and policy makers to use appropriate technological tools in early childhood classrooms. It begins with learning theories related to computational thinking with a discussion of Seymour Papert and presents Marina Bers' framework. The chapter includes a professional development model for teachers and teacher educators. Technological apps and computational thinking are offered for use with face-to-face, hybrid, and remote instruction in early childhood settings. Many of the digital tools described in the chapter have numerous suggestions and resources available for teachers, teacher educators, and students to create a platform to begin using digital tools and evaluate how to select and use digital media. Changes can be brought about by reimagining classrooms and reshaping pedagogy with continued professional development.

Bridging the gap in learning with the effective use of Kahoot!: A review

As educational instructors, one of the many ways we garner feedback from the class is through asking questions between segments of the lesson. I must admit, there were times when I felt pressured when nobody raised their hand to contribute an answer. Could it be that my students have not learnt anything from the three-hour lecture I just gave? This practice for me has often been an ineffective gauge of students’ understanding, even if there were students who raised their hand to proffer an answer. Firstly, students who were quick thinkers and fully engaged with the class would often participate in answering questions and respond actively. On the downside, their willingness to answer might lead to the end of the thought process for other students who needed more time to come to a conclusion for themselves. It might have also given me, the instructor, an illusion that the entire class had fully understood the concepts I was trying to convey during the lesson. Having students use their smartphones in class to assess their own understanding of concepts has been very important to me. I’ve had students taking selfies, face-timing their friends, and scrolling through social media during lessons (to name a few). How much better would it be for me to be in control of what they see on their smartphones for the sake of learning!
Current State of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as a Surgical Treatment Modality for Morbid Obesity in Adolescents

th percentile tend to become obese adults with more health complications and a higher mortality rate than those who become obese in adulthood, therefore, obesity brings major concerns to medical providers and parents [1]. Even though bariatric surgery is not a permanent cure for obesity, it has been proven to improve obesityrelated co-morbidities in children, who have failed multiple nonoperative weight loss methods [2]. The use of bariatric surgery in older children is still not universally accepted, and data on this treatment modality is lacking. In order to investigate the current state of bariatric surgery in pre-adult population, we designed a meta-analytic study to evaluate the current state of laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass (LRYGB) as treatment modality for morbidly obese adolescents. Using PubMed, MEDLINE, and CHINAHL databases, a systematic review of most current and relevance articles from 2003 to 2012 was performed. A total 7 full articles were studied. Keywords used were adolescent, children, outcomes, and bariatric surgery. Improvement of obesity-related co-morbidities was emphasized in order to objectively evaluate the benefits of laparoscopic gastric bypass in morbidly obese adolescents.

Intercultural Differences and Discourse

This practical work is an attempt to show learners of English that fluency in a foreign language is not the only means of smooth communication. It states that culture is a group-specific (constant)and language has at least two main varieties (spoken and written) (variables). A discourse in this work, moreover, is a spoken or written communicative situation involving two or more parties in a specific spatial and temporal enclosure. Against that background, it highlights the need to use the in-discourse gap-fillers. Accordingly, the work shows that grammatical correctness is not enough to conduct appropriate communication. So are the culture-specific implicit lacks of clarity, intolerance, and non-observance of cultural differences.
Zespół skróconego odstępu QT - opis przypadku Short QT syndrome - a case report

We present two new cases of the short QT syndrome – a 23-year-old male and his 42-year-old mother. Invasive electrophysiological study was negative in both patients. Due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia recorded during Holter ECG monitoring, an ICD was implanted in the male patient for primary prevention. Blood samples were collected for further genetic studies. Diagnosis and management of patients with the short QT syndrome are discussed.
BIOMECHANICAL PROFILING OF STAIR NEGOTIATION AND FALL RISK DETECTION IN OLDER PEOPLE

Stair falls are a major cause of injury and loss of independence for older people and place escalating demands on the National Health Service (NHS). Individual (e.g. psychological and physiological) and environmental (e.g. stair design) factors influence the biomechanics of stair negotiation and thus, affect stair fall risk. In addition, stair-specific risk factors have been identified by comparing predetermined groups for single-parameters that underpin the potential mechanism of a stair fall through biomechanical research in a gait lab. However, it remains unknown if the existing screening tools and single biomechanical parameters have the predictive power to identify older individuals at risk for a stair fall specifically. Therefore, the overall purpose of this thesis was to develop a multivariate approach that has the ability to identify older adults at risk for a stair fall at community level. The first study, which included 25 younger (20-30 years) and 70 older adults (>65 years), established a novel multivariate approach for profiling individual stair-negotiating behaviour. It was found that individual stepping behaviour could be profiled based on multiple biomechanical parameters reflecting risk and safety on stairs and that this approach circumvented the limitations of single-parameter comparisons between predetermined groups. The next study showed that of the 68 included older adults (>65 years) the majority maintained their stair-negotiating behaviour irrespective of step dimensions, which indicated that manipulating the demand of the task would not affect the underpinning mechanism of a potential stair fall. In the final prospective study, the multivariate approach was implemented on 87 older adults (>65 years) over a 12-month follow up period to identify the biomechanical stepping profile linked with the highest stair fall risk. As opposed to the limited predictability of stair fall risk using functional and single-parameter biomechanical approaches and general fall screening tools, the multivariate approach showed potential to predict fall risk, especially during stair ascent. iii Future research should implement the multivariate approach in more people in real life stair negotiation conditions to improve the prediction of the method, so that targeted interventions for improving stair safety in older individuals can be developed.
The Cascading Coaching Model for Supporting Service Providers, Caregivers, and Children

Teaching caregivers to support their young children’s language development is recommended as an effective early language intervention, and caregiver-implemented interventions are recognized as evidence-based. However, as the natural change agents for training and coaching caregivers, early intervention (EI) service providers are in need of professional development to effectively coach caregivers to use interventions with their child. The purpose of this study was to examine the Coaching Caregivers Professional Development program (CoCare PD) in which researchers train and coach EI service providers via telepractice in caregiver coaching, a set of skills useful in nurturing partnerships with families to support caregivers’ use of evidence-based practices with their young children with disabilities. A single-case research study across four EI service providers was conducted and findings support a functional relation between training and coaching EI service providers via telepractice and providers’ use of coaching practices with families on their caseload.

Acculturation and Diet Among Chinese American Immigrants in New York City

ABSTRACT Background There are limited data on the social and cultural determinants of dietary intake in Chinese Americans. Over 560,000 New York City residents are Chinese American, and there has been a growing trend over the past 30 y of permanent migration from China to the USA. Objectives The purpose of this secondary data analysis is to describe associations between diet, measured by self-report, and diet quality, with level of acculturation in a cross-sectional sample of urban-dwelling Chinese American immigrants. Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 2071 foreign-born Chinese American adults. Acculturation was assessed using the Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale, diet using a Chinese-adapted FFQ, and diet quality using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI). Multivariable regression was used to assess associations between ethnic (ESI; Chinese) and dominant (DSI; American) society immersion scores with self-reported dietary measures. Results No significant associations were found between acculturation and overall AHEI score. Higher ESI and DSI scores were associated with higher vegetable, fruit, and nut/legume scores; a higher DSI score only was associated with higher whole grain and PUFA scores. A 1-unit increase in the ESI score was associated with a 0.005 (P = 0.009) lower red and processed meat component score, whereas a 1-unit increase in DSI score was associated with a 0.01 (P = 0.025) higher red and processed meat component score. Conclusions Assessment of acculturation level may help to tailor dietary strategies that are appropriate to what Chinese American immigrant communities are consuming to more effectively decrease the risk of chronic disease.
Perceiving Speech and Perceiving Words

Psycholinguistic research into spoken language comprehension, and phonetic research into the processes of acoustic-phonetic analysis, are both, in principle, part of the same general domain of inquiry. Both disciplines are concerned with aspects of the process whereby human listeners map from sound onto meaning. This implies, therefore, a close dependence between them. In the past, however, there has been surprisingly little direct contact between the two disciplines. Research in phonetics as, for example, Nomeboom (1979) has documented tends to pay little attention to the wider functional context within which the processes of acoustic-phonetic analysrs presumably operate. Conversely, psycholinguists — even those workmg on spoken word-recognition tend to neglect, or simply ignore, the complexrties of the acoustic-phonetic input to the processes they are studymg. We can take for granted that psycholinguists should pay more attention to acoustic-phonetic issues. What is less straightforward is_th_e claim that phoneticians should pay more attention to psycholinguisnc issues. Nonethelcss, this is what I will try to establish here. I will do so With particular reference to the relationship between the acoustic-phonetic analysrs of the Speech signal and the perception and identification of spoken words. Two questions need to be examined here. First, how far does the study of Spoken word-recognition also raise important acoustic-phonetrc questions? Second, how far has research in acoustic-phonetics in fact prov1ded an adequate basis for an approach to these questions?
