Authors: Bhatta Madav , Thapa Resham B. , Pokharel Min R. , Sharma Moha D.
Published: August 2022

Red ant (Dorylus orientalis Westwood) has long been known as an important pest of potato in middle hills of Nepal. Several management approaches against this pest were studied in Fungling VDC-4 of Taplejung district in 2012. Field efficacy of botanicals (Artemisa, Eupatorium, Agave, Justicia, and Azadirachta) @ 1.44 kg/plot and chemical chlorpyrifos (pyrifos 20 EC @ 2 ml/litre of water) as treatments with four replications were tested using the susceptible variety, Kufri Jyoti. The application of agave was effective to reduce the damage by 42.93 ± 1.20% as compared to control i.e. 68.39±0.62%. Among all the treatments, the application of chemical insecticide, chlorpyrifos gave lower mean yield damage than the control plot. These findings can be verified and applied for the management of red ant of potato under farmers' field condition.
Education of general endurance is a goal "TABATA" in physical education classes for students
Authors: Madyar-Fazekash E. , Okopnuy A. , Voronchak M.
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to actual problems that are solved in the process of physical education of students in training sessions aimed at mastering the program material, allowing to provide general and professionalapplied physical fitness, determining the psychophysical readiness of the student to his chosen profession. At present, in social and social relations, the requirements are raised for a person, for his physical potential, namely for endurance as a physical quality. Endurance helps a person to resist a long time coming fatigue, to endure it without reducing the quality of the work. The main indicator of endurance is time, during which muscular activity of a certain nature and intensity is carried out. In cyclical sports, endurance manifests itself as an indicator of the minimum time during the period of overcoming a given distance. When educating endurance in the classroom, the main methods include: variable, uniform, continuous and interval. Their choice is due to the physical fitness of students. In the first year it is advisable to use a uniform method and the optimal combination of duration and intensity of the load.

The Tabata method belongs to modern trends in fitness and is "fashionable" among young people. The method allows for a short period of time to increase the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the body and purposefully cultivate endurance. The peculiarities of the lesson (training) include the sequence of increasing load and breathing technique. Tabata training is high- intensity, many students are not physically ready for the proposed loads, in this regard, it is advisable to include in the main part of the lesson, blocks of simple exercises with less repetition. This method is contraindicated in the recovery period, students with low levels of physical fitness and suffering from cardiovascular disease. There are various tests to determine the level of endurance: Harvard step test, functional test on the Kverg, step test with Burger.

According to the results of the analysis of scientific and methodological, special and reference literature, the members of the research group established, that the issue of introducing effective techniques of kinesiological taping into the occupational therapy system of veteran athletes who specialize in martial arts to date, an insufficient number of scientific and methodical works have been devoted to it, which requires further scientific investigations and emphasizes the relevance and practical component of the chosen direction of research. The main goal of the study is the approbation of the occupational therapy program for athletes who specialize in sambo wrestling (veteran athletes of "Masters" in the age group of 45-49 years) with the use of kinesiological taping at the stage of recovery after inflammation of chronic injuries of the ankle joints. In the process of research and analytical work, the following methods were used: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction (deduction), modeling, mathematical and statistical (correlation analysis, factor analysis), etc. As a result of an empirical study, the members of the scientific research group tested the program of occupational therapy for sambo wrestling veterans in the age group of 45-49 years, with an accented use of kinesiological taping tools at the stage of recovery after inflammation of chronic injuries of the ankle joints. Summarizing the results obtained at the end of the pedagogical experiment are established, that the occupational therapy program we proposed contributed to the accelerated recovery of veteran sambo wrestlers’ athletes with injuries (chronic inflammations) feet, as well as ankle joints. This, in turn, ensured the optimization of their educational and training load, as well as contributed to the increase in the indicators of competitive activity. Analyzing the indicators of the competitive activity of the participants of the pedagogical experiment, it is reasonable to state that, that the introduction of modern methods (techniques) of kinesiological taping into the system of occupational therapy of veteran sambo wrestlers (45-49 years old) ensured: improvement of blood circulation and lymph flow; reduction (stopping) of pain; stimulation of muscle hypotonus (relaxation of hypertonic muscles); protection of muscles from overload; reduction of inflammatory processes and protection and stabilization of ankle joints, etc. Prospects for further research in the chosen field of scientific research include the selection and testing of modern technical training tools with computer technologies that ensure the formation of the readiness of veteran sambo wrestlers for competitive activities.

Glaucoma: aspectos relevantes
Authors: Vargas Ávila Aarón Josué , Sojo Padilla José Ricardo
Published: August 2022

El glaucoma representa un grupo de enfermedades definidas por neuropatías ópticas características que consisten en el re modelamiento del tejido conectivo del nervio óptico y la pérdida del tejido neutral. Es la causa más frecuente de ceguera irreversible a nivel mundial. Su progresión usualmente si la presión intraocular es menor al 30-50% del basal. Las formas crónicas del glaucoma no son dolorosas y los síntomas visuales aparecen después. Por lo que la detención temprana por el oftalmólogo es tan importante. Algunos de los factores de riesgo para glaucoma son: edad, presión intraocular elevada, historia familiar positiva y miopía grave. El tratamiento para el glaucoma se basa en disminuir la presión intraocular basado en fármacos, terapia láser e intervenciones quirúrgicas.

Abordaje y manejo de la epistaxis en población pediátrica
Authors: Azúa Morera Diego , Azúa Morera Esteban , Castrillo Hine Catalina
Published: August 2022

La epistaxis se refiere a cualquier sangrado originado de las fosas nasales, la cavidad nasal, los senos paranasales, y/o la nasofaringe. Esta emergencia otorrinolaringológica es uno de los motivos más frecuentes de la consulta médica pediátrica. La mayoría de estos sangrados, aproximadamente el 90%, provienen de la irrigación anterior, en especial en la zona de Kiesselbach; aunque existen casos de epistaxis posterior que ameritan un manejo más riguroso. La mayoría de los pacientes presentan episodios autolimitados que responden a la compresión mecánica por unos minutos; sin embargo, hay casos refractarios que requerirán de una evaluación más exhaustiva, estudios complementarios y de medidas que van desde la cauterización química o eléctrica hasta la colocación de un taponamiento, o una eventual resolución quirúrgica por especialista. En general, la epistaxis en edad infantil representa una gran variedad de etiologías, las cuales eventualmente podrían asociar condiciones severas o que ameriten valoración y seguimiento por un especialista por lo que su adecuado abordaje y seguimiento es de gran importancia e impacto.

The objective of this study was to characterize and define the socioeconomic profile of pork and pork meat consumers in the municipality of Irecê, Bahia, Brazil. For this, 424 residents of different neighborhoods and social strata of the aforementioned municipality were randomly interviewed from March to May 2022. Gender, age group, salary range and education served as a basis for characterizing the interviewed population, as well as the consumption or not of pork meat and its derivatives. The data obtained were tabulated in the Microsoft Excel® program and their percentage and descriptive analysis was performed. Pork is the 3rd purchase preference for protein of animal origin by survey participants (5.7%), behind beef (46.7%) and poultry (44.6%) in first place. and second place, respectively. Most respondents consume pork meat and its derivatives (79.3%), with ribs being the main cut of choice for consumers (59.0%). 56.8% of respondents do not know how to answer whether there is any benefit to human health consumption of pork, although 71.9% of respondents consider pork healthy. Of the respondents who do not consider pork healthy (28.1%), 33.8% believe that pork transmits diseases. 84.2% of respondents said they consume pork meat products, with sausage being the most preferred product (71.0%). The lack of information and the myths linked to pork still demonstrate a strong relationship with the consumption of this source of animal protein, making it necessary to implement information campaigns aimed at clarifying to the consumer the relationship between the health of slaughtered and commercialized animals, the quality of products and the benefits of pork consumption to leverage the pork sector in the city of Irecê-BA and region.

Les constructions participiales détachées pour exprimer la causalité
Authors: Gagnon Odette , Laberge Annie
Published: August 2022

L’article interroge le rôle des constructions détachées participiales (CDpart) dans l’expression de la causalité. Dans une étude s’étant intéressée au rôle textuel des CDpart en français, il a été observé que les CDpart contribuent à la cohérence textuelle à trois niveaux d’arrimage définis par Gagnon (2008, 2015) : 1) les CDpart contribuent à la cohérence sur le plan référentiel puisque, en tant que proposition réduite, elles possèdent un référent sous-jacent pouvant être relié à un syntagme nominal (SN) présent dans le contexte et jouent ainsi un rôle dans la continuité thématique; 2) les CDpart contribuent à la cohérence sur le plan informatif puisque, en tant que prédications secondes, elles véhiculent une information nouvelle de second plan et opèrent une hiérarchisation des informations; 3) les CDpart contribuent à la cohérence sur le plan évènementiel puisqu’elles permettent d’établir une relation entre l’événement décrit au PP et celui décrit dans la principale. L’analyse des CDpart sur le plan évènementiel a fait ressortir que dans un grand nombre de cas, la CDpart se trouve en position frontale et que dans ces cas, la relation le plus souvent établie entre l’évènement décrit au PP et celui décrit dans la principale est une relation de cause (Combettes 2005), comme dans l’exemple suivant tiré du corpus (Laberge 2019) : Favorisant le repli sur soi, il (le téléphone cellulaire) rompt le dialogue en famille ou entre amis lors d’un repas (...). L’article présente l’analyse qui a été faite, du point de vue évènementiel, de quelques occurrences de CDpart relevées dans des textes rédigés par des étudiants universitaires de premier cycle ou dans des textes journalistiques. Les résultats de cette analyse confirment que les CDpart doivent être envisagées comme ressources linguistiques pouvant exprimer la causalité en français.
La causalité dans un texte de vulgarisation médicale
Authors: Gerolimich Sonia , Vecchiato Sara
Published: August 2022

Cette étude se situe dans le cadre d’un projet de « rédaction bienveillante » (Clerc 2019), finalisé à la divulgation scientifique auprès de lecteurs ayant un faible niveau de littératie. Son objectif est d’identifier des reformulations plus efficaces dans la rédaction de textes scientifiques, qui sont essentiellement basés sur des liens logiques de nature causale. Dans ce texte de vulgarisation médicale, la principale relation causale est exprimée sous la forme d’une causalité finale. Il a été question de vérifier quelles structures alternatives pouvaient être utilisées pour exprimer cette même relation causale. La reformulation avec le moyen d’expression de la cause le plus explicite, à savoir le connecteur prototypique parce que s’est révélé inadéquat ; en revanche ce connecteur est apparu possible avec sa fonction argumentative, impliquant cependant des modifications dans l’agencement des propositions, et produisant ainsi un énoncé plus complexe. La reformulation au moyen de la conditionnelle en si – « si P, alors Q » – est apparue la plus appropriée, tout en étant moins complexe. Cette recherche a permis de mettre en évidence que ce qui détermine la nature plus ou moins appropriée d’un connecteur (i.e. afin que au lieu de parce que) ou bien l’ordre des faits de la relation causale, ce n’est pas le sens en soi du connecteur, mais l’ensemble du discours, avec son macro-acte communicatif et la progression thématique, d’où la nécessité d’une approche non seulement strictement syntactico-lexicale mais aussi pragmatique.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates among Clinical Samples showing Growth in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Maharjan Nabina
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Carbapenems resistance due to metallo-beta-lactamase production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major concern which is increasing globally resulting in limited therapeutic choices. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates among clinical samples showing growth of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on various clinical samples which showed growth in the Department of Microbiology of a tertiary care centre between 1 September 2020 to 28 February 2021 after receiving ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 03-G/020). Convenience sampling was done. All timely received clinical specimens were inoculated and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours and identified by standard microbiological techniques. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 1049 clinical samples showing growth, 68 (6.48%) (4.99-7.97, 95% Confidence Interval) Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. Among them, 6 (8.82%) were found to be metallo-beta-lactamase positive.
Conclusions: The prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was similar to the studies done in similar settings. As metallo-beta-lactamase production was detected among isolated species which can be spread very rapidly and may develop a problematic scenario in treatment procedures, regular surveillance along with judicious use of carbapenems should precede.

Published: August 2022

Nepal has witnessed demographic and epidemiological transition resulting in the shift from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases as the major disease burden. Around 60% of mortalities and morbidities are attributable to non-communicable diseases of which the majority end with the need for palliative care services. The current palliative care services in Nepal are in the infancy stage compared with other services. Undignified dying is a challenging public health problem and as such requires a public health approach to address it with the involvement of all stakeholders. Recognizing the need for the end spectrum of non-communicable diseases patients, the Ministry of Health, Nepal recently introduced the policy to address the unmet need through the community-based palliative care program, a laudable initiation.

Published: August 2022

The in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 could be correlated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 induced hyper-inflammation, which is attributed to an unconstrained inflammatory cytokine storm. The pro-inflammatory cytokine, specifically, interleukin-6 plays a prominent role in the cytokine storm and may result in alveolar-capillary blood-gas exchange dysfunction. Therefore, the method to block the signal transduction pathway of interleukin-6 could be a potential treatment for severe COVID-19 patients. In this case series of three patients with severe COVID-19, we focus on the rationale for utilization of tocilizumab, an anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody, which could block the signal transduction pathway of interleukin-6. The observations from this study allowed us to hypothesize that the infusions of tocilizumab may not reduce the elevated level of interleukin-6, and hence may not be a significant therapeutic for reducing in-hospital mortality associated with COVID-19. Additionally, it could also be speculated that interleukin-6 may not be a potentially actionable target cytokine to treat COVID-19-associated cytokine storms.
Ampicillinase C Beta-lactamase Producers among Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Khadka Shusila , Barakoti Achut , Adhikari Ram Prasad , Khanal Laxmi Kant , Sapkota Jyotshna
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase-producing organisms are often resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents, and therapeutic options against these pathogens are limited. Limited information is available regarding Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers among isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of a tertiary care centre from May 2021 to October 2021. Ethical approval was received from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 044-077/078). Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae from various clinical samples were collected by convenience sampling. Ampicillinase C screening for beta-lactamase producers among the Enterobacteriaceae isolates was done using cefoxitin (30 μg) disc. Detection of Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers among the screen-positive isolates was done by cefoxitin-cloxacillin double-disc synergy test. An increase in the zone size of ≥4 mm was considered as Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among the total 481 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, 49 (10.19%) (7.50-12.90, 95 % Confidence Interval) were detected as Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers among isolates of Enterobacteriaceae.
Conclusions: The prevalence of Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers was lower than in other studies done in similar settings. Meropenem could be a drug of choice for the treatment of infections due to Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative bacteria.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: A hospital-based investigation of bacteriological isolates helps to identify common causative bacteria and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. This helps in formulating presumptive antibiotic therapy and in reducing antibiotic misuse. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of positive bacterial culture isolates among suspected orthopaedic infections in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from the electronic data record of the Department of Microbiology of a tertiary care centre from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2021. The study was conducted following ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: IRC-2021-11-09-1). Culture reports of suspected orthopaedic infections were evaluated, and those with missing data were excluded. A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Out of 6201 specimens, positive bacterial culture were found in 2957 (47.69%) (46.45-48.93, 95% Confidence Interval). Among them, 1561 (56.01%) were gram-negative organisms and 677 (24.29%) were gram-positive. A total of 2787 (94.25%) were wound/pus swab cultures and 170 (5.74%) were tissue cultures.
Conclusions: The prevalence of positive bacterial culture among suspected orthopaedic infections was lower than in other international studies. Among bacteriological isolates, gram-negative organisms are more than gram-positive organisms.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Dengue and typhoid fever are different entities with overlapping signs and symptoms which are indistinguishable and there have been few reports of co-infections from endemic areas. The resemblance of symptoms makes accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment difficult. Both are major health problems mainly during monsoon and co-infection, if not timely diagnosed and treated can be fatal. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of typhoid fever among patients diagnosed with dengue at a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among patients of age >15 years with dengue fever attending the medicine outpatient department in a tertiary care centre from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 466/2020). Convenience sampling was used. Patients with other risk factors for febrile illness were excluded from the study. Point estimate and 90% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 95 dengue cases, typhoid fever was observed in 18 (18.95%) (12.36-25.54, 90% Confidence Interval). The mean age of presentation was 35±9 years with a male to female ratio of 0.8:1. Fever was the most common presentation with a mean temperature of 100.8±2.1°F.
Conclusions: The prevalence of typhoid fever among dengue-positive cases was higher as compared to other studies done in similar settings.

Thus, it is understood that grit, EFL learners’ motivation, and applied linguistics have no full role in learning syntax for EFL learners.
Metabolic Reprogramming and Cancer: 2022
Authors: Bhattacharya Susinjan
Published: August 2022

Cancer is a disease that is considered as a silent killer. Early therapeutic interventions can lead to cure from the disease. The causal reasons for cancer are many. At the molecular level, metabolic reprogramming is a process for self-renewal and survival by the cancer cells. Dietary constituents is an important factor that leads into metabolic transitions and induce cellular reprogramming. The process is initiated by inducing changes in metabolism leading to supply of nutrients and energy to the tumour cells, and this is linked to the induction of EMT and VM. Thermodynamic changes that gets distinguished in proliferating and non-proliferating cells might also be a possible reason for cellular reprogramming. The entire process of metabolic reprogramming is linked to diet driven changes and bioenergetics. The work here elucidates in brief dependency of metabolic reprogramming on different factors, or stages and highlights possibilities for therapeutic interventions as part of cancer therapeutics.
Dopamine D5 receptor involvement in LTD and LTP: adjustment to the dysconnectivity theory of schizophrenia
Authors: Labrou Dimitris
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this article is to emphasise the role of the dopamine D5 receptor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, through its actions on the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, the striatum and the basal ganglia. We believe that this receptor, along with other key receptor systems, mainly the 5HT2A/C, the GABA(A) , the NMDA and some nAchRs are vital for the long term potentiation and long term depression effects, that control the plasticity of the brain. We assume that the anatomical and physiological traits that have been found, show us a loss of plasticity, which may be intertwined with a degree of atrophy in the brain, noted in a percentage of schizophrenia patients, as a loss of grey matter, per se. . Of course, the plasticity is mediated by different receptors in each brain region, and the tissues associated with the dopamine D5 receptor, show us a multi-parameter function, though the LTP and LTD, of course. The effect that the dysfunction of the LTP and LTD has on the brain, is related to the dysconnectivity between parts of the CNS, a trait associated with many neurodevelpental disorders, especially schizophrenia.

MENEGUHKAN HARMONI BERAGAMA MELALUI DAKWAH INKLUSIF: ANALISIS ISI DAN RESPON SOSIAL CERAMAH KONTROVERSIAL TENTANG HUKUM ZIARAH MAKAM DI PULAU LOMBOK
Authors: War’i Muhammad
Published: August 2022

A Wahhabi leader's controversial lecture on a grave pilgrimage on the island of Lombok has become the seed of religious conflict and has become a national issue. This paper explores how the pattern of da'wah (delivery of lectures), the response of the community, and its impact on the building of religious harmony. Through a content analysis approach and social response, the paper concludes that first, the da'wah pattern uses a textual approach to the arguments of the Qur'an and Hadith where the topic of discussion is still about ikhtilaf matters that have been around for quite a long time such as the law of tomb pilgrimage, tahlilan, and maulidan. Second, the response of the Lombok Muslim community to the Wahhabi lecture on the Law of religious tourism for pilgrimage pilgrimages was negative, which was marked by the emergence of demonstrations and reporting of the preacher to the police. This response is not only a response to lectures about tomb pilgrimages, but is a response to the da'wah pattern that has been used by the Wahhabi. Third, the lecture on the tomb pilgrimage which received a negative response has become a threat to the building of religious harmony on the island of Lombok. This fact occurs because the understanding of tomb pilgrimage that 'should not' clash with religious traditions which actually 'recommend'. The social conflict that immediately ignited when the lecture went viral became a clear indicator that the Wahhabi da'wah pattern had become a threat to religious disharmony on the island of Lombok. A dialogue of religious understanding is needed to stem the threat of disharmony in order to maintain a harmonious social life. It can be reflected from the three findings that the process of religious da'wah must take into account the historical background and understanding of the target community of da'wah. Issues of ikhtilaf in religious theology should not need to be present in the pulpit of da'wah which is public and open (online). It is hoped that the Wahhabis and Aswaja groups will respect each other and prevent statements that can trigger religious conflicts.

Tigers (Panthera tigris) have disappeared from over 90% of their historical range, and extant populations face habitat loss, direct poaching, and prey depletion in otherwise suitable habitats. In Thailand, tiger numbers continue to decline due to prey depletion, yet a few strongholds remain. Recently, tigers have been detected in the Southern Western Forest Complex (sWEFCOM), following intensification of conservation efforts. However, there is still a lack of primary data on the status of tigers and their prey in the sWEFCOM. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted camera trapping surveys between 2019 and 2020 in Khuean Srinagarindra National Park (KSR) and Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary (SLP). Located near a tiger source population in Thungyai Naresuan and Huai Kha Khaeng, these areas are potential areas for tiger recovery. In particular, our study assessed the status of prey, a prerequisite to the persistence and recovery of tigers. Based on relative abundance indices, time overlap and occupancy models, we analysed the effect of anthropogenic and ecological factors on the spatial and temporal habitat use of the main prey species. We highlight that anthropogenic factor impacted species-specific habitat relationships. Mainly, shifts in ungulate temporal and spatial habitat use was linked to human activities. These relationships, however, differed between the two protected areas. As tiger recovery depends on prey recovery, we suggest that increased conservation law enforcement and greater engagement with villages within and adjacent to protected areas are essential to minimising unsustainable resource use practices that currently affect prey.

This study profiles the nature of culturally bound syndrome perception of Ode-Ori (schizophrenia) incident among faith based and traditional mental illness healers in the Oke-Ogun area. The study relied on Interviews with mental health healers in the faith based and traditional treatment of mental illness. The interviews were recorded on tape, processed, and analyzed. Narratives indicated that local mental health experts conceptualize Ode-Ori as a psychotic syndrome resulting from spiritual attack, punishment for taboo violations or genetic inheritance from parents to their offspring. The disorder was viewed as having poor prognosis. Healers apply local treatment in the form of; holy water, spiritual bath, head washing with leaves sap mixed with black soap (osedudu), incision on the forehead and syncretism prayers and exorcism to return the patient to normality. This study concludes that there is cultural coloration to understanding of schizophrenia, it causes located in supernatural, spiritual and genetic factors. There is the need for more education about nature and causes of schizophrenia among Onko people in Nigeria.
Consonant Epenthesis in Greek Child Speech: A Phonological Perspective
Authors: Poulidakis Anastasios
Published: August 2022

In this paper a less well-studied process is discussed, namely, segmental insertion in child language. The main question of the study is why children use consonant epenthesis in their speech. Our assumptions are based on picture naming and spontaneous speech collected from four monolingual Greek-speaking children varying in age from 1;6.26 to 2;10.9. Their data reveal that it is a systematic process which helps them simplify their speech by forming unmarked structures (Oller, 1974). The position of the epenthetic segment as well as its quality are also examined. We observe that an epenthetic consonant is inserted at the left or right edge of the word in order for an unmarked CV syllable to emerge. In a few cases with cluster simplification, a consonant is inserted to the syllable that does not contain the cluster in order to maintain in number all the segments of the adult’s form. Further, the epenthetic segment, which arises in one of the two edges of the word, constitutes a full copy of a consonant located at the other edge. This interaction seems to support the view that edgemost syllables are psycholinguistically prominent positions (e.g., Pater, 1997, Smith, 2002) and children tend to pay more attention to them (Slobin, 1973). For the analysis of children’s tokens, Optimality Theory is adopted (Prince & Smolensky, 1993) and how this model can account for all the properties presented in consonant epenthesis is explained.

Background and Aims The most essential and common sports injury in the lower limb in many sports fields is the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Knowledge in this field and appropriate exercise programs can help prevent this injury for all athletes and coaches. The present research aims to investigate the prevalence of this injury in different sports fields and the results of various training programs in reducing the risk of injury to ACL. Methods The current review was conducted using international information resources, Scopus, Taylor and Francis, ProQuest, Emerald Insight, ScienceDirect, Springer, Web of knowledge, and internal information resources including Magiran, Civilica, SID, and Iran Medex were applied. The research date range was defined between 2000 to 2020. In international articles, keywords such as Single-leg Landing, Landing, Injury, Knee injury, Drop-landing, Training, Exercise, ACL, and in domestic papers, keywords such as ACL, Knee Injury, Single-leg Landing, Jump, Land, and Training program were considered. According to the exclusion criteria, only 42 articles were selected and examined out of 220. Results Women with this injury are more affected at all skill levels, so at the professional skill level, women were affected up to 5 times more than men, and at the amateur level, the infection rate is about 3 to 4 times higher. The highest incidence is related to women professional basketball players with a speed of 5.5 per 1000 athletes training, and the lowest is among amateur male athletes with a rate of 0.02 with the same criteria. Of the articles reviewed in the appropriate injury prevention training program, 32% examined the effect of neuromuscular training, 18% combined training, 26% strength training, and 24% central core stability training. With 80% effectiveness, core stability training seems to be the most effective injury prevention program. Conclusion Considering the rate of this injury and the impact of this injury on treatment costs, the duration of returning to exercise, and creating the ground for other injuries, a comprehensive review of exercises effective in preventing this injury for athletes and coaches it’s important. This is especially important for professional female basketball players due to the incidence rate. The central core stability training program had the most practical effect among the training programs. The combined training program had the least impact according to different criteria for assessing and preventing injury.

Background and Aims Acquisition of cycling skills in autistic and healthy people has different results depending on the training conditions and type of educational intervention. Most people with autism do not learn this skill. The present study aimed to compare the effect of seven sessions of a special training program with the frequency of massed and distributed practice on the acquisition of cycling skills in autistic and healthy boys living in Tehran City. Methods 24 autistic boys (Mean±SD age:11.92±2.55 years) and 12 healthy boys (Mean±SD age: 9.33±2.38 years) living in Tehran City were available and, based on inclusion criteria, selected and after performing a pretest of cycling skills proficiency randomly into two homogeneous subgroups with different training frequencies including massed practice (7 consecutive one-hour sessions) and distributed practice (course every other day) was divided. The exercise was performed individually on a regular bicycle without support equipment. After 7 training sessions, repeat the proficiency test as at least 30 meters of independent driving, the ability to brake, start, and turn was done. Data were analyzed using percentage calculation, dependent t-test, and analysis of covariance at the significance level of 0.05. Results The results of the dependent t-test showed that the acquisition of cycling skills with massed practice in autism (0.01) and healthy (0.01) groups and distributed practice in autism (0.02) and healthy (0.00) groups, after the intervention, the educational program had a significant increase compared to the pretest. Also, the results of the analysis of covariance showed that between the effects of the group (0.106) frequency (0.063) and interaction group & frequency (0.269), there is no significant difference in skill acquisition. Conclusion Findings indicate that regardless of the lack of effect of exercise frequency and individual differences in autistic and healthy groups, the training program presented in this study led to the acquisition of cycling skills. Therefore, educators and families can be suggested to use the current program as a method with the lowest cost and highest efficiency to acquire cycling skills in autistic and healthy people.
