Strategies for Preventing Disease Transmission at Early Childhood Education Institutions
Authors: Jauhari Jauhari
Published: May 2020

Early childhood education institutions with a lack of health standards can be a medium for disease transmission. This transmission leads to a decline in health status and the level of children's development. Preschool children often suffer from several infectious diseases such as chickenpox, diphtheria, measles, mumps, hepatitis B, influenza, pulmonary tuberculosis, impetigo, and diarrhea. These diseases can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact such as respiratory tract, digestion, and skin. Disease transmission can occur during interactions between children and children, children and teachers, and children and the environment around the school. The risk of disease transmission can be reduced by implementing prevention strategies for disease transmission, that is, by creating a healthy environment of the educational institution, keeping hands clean, providing handwashing facilities, implementing cough ethics, and increasing the role of teachers and parents to establish children's clean and healthy living behavior. These strategies can work well if they are supported and carried out by the manager, teachers, children, educational personnel, and parents. The strategies are expected to improve the health status of children, so they can achieve growth and development by their stages.
Improved β-catenin detection in spinal cord tissue sections: autofluorescence quenching
Authors: Abdullahi Dauda , Ahmad Annuar Azlina , Sanusi Junedah
Published: May 2020

Experimental studies on spinal cord regeneration are focusing on the windows of opportunity to improve spinal cord microenvironment via spinal-centric repair pathways. One pathway of particular interest is the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway which plays a vital role in axonal guidance, synaptic assembly and function, neuronal survival and connectivity after spinal cord trauma to induce repair. Upregulation of β-catenin expression is often taken as evidence of regeneration mechanisms through the Wnt/ β-catenin pathway. However, these studies may not have optimised the staining protocol for β-catenin to enable accurate detection of the protein. Given possible issues with the background or endogenous tissue autofluorescence, there is a need to optimise the protocol further to allow better visualisation of β-catenin. So far, there are no studies which report optimising spinal cord tissues for β-catenin to reduce autofluorescence, and as β-catenin is widely used in spinal cord injury (SCI) and other spinal cord tissue studies, thus it is an important issue to address. To achieve reliable detection and localisation of β-catenin, we utilised sequential quenching techniques using 1% NaBH4 and 1mM CuSO4 in 50mM ammonium acetate buffer to reduce both background and fixative-induced autofluorescence. Our results showed that sequential autofluorescence quenching is crucial in β-catenin detection, and this improved technique indicates that β-catenin is localised in the spinal cord white matter regions. Objective approach for the β-catenin localisation is highly significant as it unravelled an objective identification and illuminate the pattern of distribution of β-catenin for researcher focusing on spinal cord repair studies via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway following SCI.

Published: May 2020

Soil minerals and  chemical properties play an essential role  in agricultural, especially to know  the  availability of soil nutrient reserve. The objective of the study was to investigate soil chemical properties and mineralogical  composition. of sand fraction in original area. The study was conducted in two stages. The  First stage was in the field and the second stage was in the laboratory. The field study was at Original area PT. Khotai Makmur Insan Abadi, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. Soils were sampled from each horizon of the profile. The second stage was in the Laboratory. The chemical analysis was conducted    in  the Soil Laboratory,  Agriculture Faculty,  Mulawarman University.  The Mineralogical composition of fine sand fractions was  conducted in Pusat penelitian tanah Bogor, with line counting method using Microscope Polaritation (MP). The results of chemical characteristics indicated that  low to very low content of organic matter, soil reactions are acid throughout the horizon,  very low to moderate  base satration, low to moderate soil cation exchange capacity, high of Al saturation.  Sand fraction composition was dominated by resistant minerals (quartz and opaque). On the other hand the easily weatherable minerals are not detected in the original area. One of the reason soil has low  CEC is, because the composition of sand fraction in the soil dominated by quartz.

Published: May 2020

Ultisol is one type of soil that has several problems for plant growth. The main problems are poor physical properties such as high bulk density, low soil permeability, and low water retention ability. This research aim was to determine the effects of various application of biochar made of oil palm plants residue on bulk density and soil porosity of Ultisol soil. The research design used a non-factorial completely randomized design, consisting of 5 treatments, namely without biochar application (control), oil palm stem biochar, oil palm frond biochar, oil palm empty fruit bunches biochar and combination of biochar ingredients. Each treatment was repeated 4 times hence the number of experimental units became 20 units. The parameters observed included bulk density and soil porosity. The research results showed that biochar application significantly reduced the bulk density and significantly increased the soil porosity of Ultisol soil.

American sociologist Louis Wirth said that 'Urbanism as a Way of Life' in the American Journal of Sociology in 1938 because more and more people were moving into cities and the urbanization process is stimulated. this hyper growth of cities ensure the “urbanized world”. But now a day’s urbanism concept is criticted by sociologist. They polled that urbanism developed a narrower mental structure on citizen of a town. Parallely urbanization stimulates more physical and social problems. In those social problems crime is an important phenomenon. Crime has a vast concept and categories. But crime against woman is a specific type of crime which has a great significant in our personal life, family life. Is also say that domestic violence against woman is much affected in child mental growth. We are generated a vulnerable index model using various socioeconomic indicator of crime at Diamond Harbour Municipality, South 24 Pargans District, West Bengal.

The association between child alcohol sipping and alcohol expectancies in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study
Authors: Murphy Mikela , Dufour Steven , Gray Joshua
Published: May 2020

Background and Aims: Underage drinking is a serious societal concern, yet relatively little is known about child sipping of alcohol and its relation to beliefs about alcohol. The current study aimed to (1) examine the contexts in which the first sip of alcohol occurs (e.g., type of alcohol, who provided sip, sip offered or taken without permission); (2) examine the association between sipping and alcohol expectancies; and (3) explore how different contexts of sipping are related to alcohol expectancies. We expected to find that children who had sipped alcohol would have increased positive expectancies and reduced negative expectancies compared to children who had never sipped alcohol. Design: We utilized data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, a longitudinal study of children in the United States. Setting: Twenty-one sites throughout the United States. Participants/Cases: We utilized data from 4,842 children ages 9 to 11; 52% were male and 60% were White. Measurements: Child sipping context was measured with the iSip, and alcohol expectancies were measured with the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire- Adolescent, Brief (AEQ-AB).Findings: We found that 22% of the sample had sipped alcohol. Children reported sipping beer most frequently, and the drink most often belonged to the child’s father. We found that children who had sipped had higher positive alcohol expectancies than children who had not while accounting for demographic and family history variables related to alcohol expectancies. Child sipping was not significantly associated with negative expectancies and the context of the first sip of alcohol was not significantly associated with positive and negative expectancies. Conclusions: Providing sips of alcohol to children is associated with them having more favorable expectations about drinking.
Understanding bilingual brain function and structure changes? U Bet! A Unified Bilingual Experience Trajectory model
Authors: Deluca Vincent , Segaert Katrien , Mazaheri Ali , Krott Andrea
Published: May 2020

A growing body of research shows that the brain adapts functionally and structurally to specific bilingual experiences. These brain adaptations seem related to modulations in cognitive processes (specifically the executive functions). However, the trajectory of these adaptations is varied and seems at least partially dependent on different aspects of language exposure and use. Here we provide a review of the existing theoretical models covering bilingualism-induced neuroplasticity. Moreover, we propose a unifying framework (Unifying the Bilingual Experience Trajectories, UBET) to more comprehensively map the relationship between the various neurocognitive adaptations and different aspects of bilingual experience trajectories, focusing on intensity and diversity of language use, language switching, relative proficiency, and duration of bilingual experience. Crucially, we also outline predictions regarding both relationships between different bilingual experience factors and relationships between the measurable neurocognitive adaptations. Our framework offers a theoretical backdrop and clear testable predictions for future large-scale empirical studies on individual differences in bilingual trajectories and their effects on neurocognitive adaptations.
Human larynx motor cortices coordinate respiration for vocal-motor control
Authors: Belyk Michel , Brown Rachel , Beal Deryk S , Roebroeck Alard , McGettigan Carolyn , Guldner Stella , Kotz Sonja A.
Published: May 2020

Vocal flexibility is a hallmark of the human species, most particularly the capacity to speak and sing. This ability is supported in part by the evolution of a direct neural pathway linking the motor cortex to the brainstem nucleus that controls the larynx ¬– the primary sound source for communication. Early brain imaging studies demonstrated that larynx motor cortex at the dorsal end of the orofacial division of motor cortex (dLMC) integrated laryngeal and respiratory control, thereby coordinating two major muscular systems that are necessary for vocalization. Neurosurgical studies have since demonstrated the existence of a second larynx motor area at the ventral extent of the orofacial motor division (vLMC) of motor cortex. The vLMC has been presumed to be less relevant to speech motor control, but its functional role remains unknown. We employed a novel ultra-high field (7T) magnetic resonance imaging paradigm that combined singing and whistling simple melodies to localise the larynx motor cortices and test their involvement in respiratory motor control. Surprisingly, whistling activated both ‘larynx areas’ more strongly than singing despite the reduced involvement of the larynx during whistling. We provide further evidence for the existence of two larynx motor areas in the human brain, and the first evidence that laryngeal-respiratory integration is a shared property of both larynx motor areas. We outline explicit predictions about the descending motor pathways that give these cortical areas access to both the laryngeal and respiratory systems and discuss the implications for the evolution of speech.

Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE

Neuropathic pain caused by traumatic neuromas is an extremely intractable clinical problem. Disorderly scar tissue accumulation and irregular and immature axon regeneration around the injury site mainly contribute to traumatic painful neuroma formation. Therefore, successfully preventing traumatic painful neuroma formation requires the effective inhibition of irregular axon regeneration and disorderly accumulation of scar tissue. Considering that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) can act on the growth cone and effectively inhibit axon regeneration, the authors designed and manufactured a CSPG-gelatin blocker to regulate the CSPGs’ spatial distribution artificially and applied it in a rat model after sciatic nerve neurectomy to evaluate its effects in preventing traumatic painful neuroma formation.

METHODS

Sixty female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups (positive group: no covering; blank group: covering with gelatin blocker; and CSPG group: covering with the CSPG-gelatin blocker). Pain-related factors were evaluated 2 and 8 weeks postoperatively (n = 30). Neuroma growth, autotomy behavior, and histological features of the neuromas were assessed 8 weeks postoperatively (n = 30).

RESULTS

Eight weeks postoperatively, typical bulb-shaped neuromas did not form in the CSPG group, and autotomy behavior was obviously better in the CSPG group (p < 0.01) than in the other two groups. Also, in the CSPG group the regenerated axons showed a lower density and more regular and improved myelination (p < 0.01). Additionally, the distribution and density of collagenous fibers and the expression of α–smooth muscle actin were significantly lower in the CSPG group than in the positive group (p < 0.01). Regarding pain-related factors, c-fos, substance P, interleukin (IL)–17, and IL-1β levels were significantly lower in the CSPG group than those in the positive and blank groups 2 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05), while substance P and IL-17 remained lower in the CSPG group 8 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors found that CSPGs loaded in a gelatin blocker can prevent traumatic neuroma formation and effectively relieve pain symptoms after sciatic nerve neurotomy by blocking irregular axon regeneration and disorderly collagenous fiber accumulation in the proximal nerve stump. These results indicate that covering the proximal nerve stump with CSPGs may be a new and promising strategy to prevent traumatic painful neuroma formation in the clinical setting.
Adjacent-segment disease after L3–4 posterior lumbar interbody fusion: does L3–4 fusion have cranial adjacent-segment degeneration similar to that after L4–5 fusion?
Authors: Aono Hiroyuki , Takenaka Shota , Tobimatsu Hidekazu , Nagamoto Yukitaka , Furuya Masayuki , Yamashita Tomoya , Ishiguro Hiroyuki , Iwasaki Motoki
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a widely accepted procedure for degenerative lumbar diseases, and there have been many reports concerning adjacent-segment disease (ASD) after PLIF. In the reports of ASD in which the fusion level was limited to 1 segment, all reports describe ASD of the L3–4 segment after L4–5 PLIF. On the basis of these reports, it is thought that ASD mainly occurs at the cranial segment. However, no report has covered ASD after L3–4 PLIF. Therefore, the authors investigated ASD after L3–4 PLIF.

METHODS

In conducting a retrospective case series analysis, the authors reviewed a surgical database providing details of all spine operations performed between 2006 and 2017 at a single institution. During that period, PLIF was performed to treat 632 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbar diseases. Of these patients, 71 were treated with L3–4 PLIF alone, and 67 who were monitored for at least 2 years (mean 5.8 years; follow-up rate 94%) after surgery were enrolled in this study. Radiological ASD (R-ASD), symptomatic ASD (S-ASD), and operative ASD (O-ASD) were evaluated. These types of ASD were defined as follows: R-ASD refers to radiological degeneration adjacent to the fusion segment as shown on plain radiographs; S-ASD is a symptomatic condition due to neurological deterioration at the adjacent-segment degeneration; and O-ASD refers to S-ASD requiring revision surgery.

RESULTS

All patients had initial improvement of neurological symptoms after primary PLIF. R-ASD was observed in 32 (48%) of 67 patients. It occurred at the cranial segment in 12 patients and at the caudal segment in 24; R-ASD at both adjacent segments was observed in 4 patients. Thus, the occurrence of R-ASD was more significant in the caudal segment than in the cranial segment. S-ASD was observed in 10 patients (15%), occurring at the cranial segment in 3 patients and at the caudal segment in 7. O-ASD was observed in 6 patients (9%): at the cranial segment in 1 patient and at the caudal segment in 5. Thus, the rate of involvement of the caudal segment was 67% in R-ASD, 70% in S-ASD, and 83% in O-ASD.

CONCLUSIONS

The incidences of R-ASD, S-ASD, and O-ASD were 48%, 15%, and 9%, respectively, after L3–4 PLIF for degenerative lumbar diseases. In contrast to ASD after L4–5 PLIF, ASD after L3–4 PLIF was more frequently observed at the caudal segment than at the cranial segment. In follow-up for patients with L3–4 PLIF, surgeons should pay attention to ASD in the caudal segment.

The article discusses actual problem of musician’s psychophysical self-regulation in the modern world. The increase in the “degree of extreme” in musician’s profession puts forward increased requirements to his health and psychophysical stability, which is comparable to the requirements in combat sports and martial arts. The answer to these challenges is a “body-oriented” system of psychophysical self-regulation based on warrior yoga adapted for musicians. This system is being developped in the Problem laboratory of the Moscow Conservatory by the author professionally educated in music, sports and martial arts. The essence of the approach is described in the sections of the article, where yogic origins of modern bodyoriented systems, phenomenon and resources of warrior yoga are considered and conceptual guidelines are given, providing “navigation” in the content of adapted “warrior” methods and practices of psychophysical self-regulation.The latter are specified through links to the author’s publications and other sources. In conclusion, we touched upon the conduct of pilot master classes on the adapted complex of warrior yoga in the regions of Russia. It shows the relevance of such practices of psychophysical self-regulation in the musical and pedagogical community. It opens up prospects for their use in targeted consulting programs for teachers and students.
About Expressive Opportunities of the Musical Tempo: Studying the Relationship of Author Text and Performance Interpretation in Music and Theoretical Education
Authors: Shkapa Ekaterina A.
Published: May 2020

Musical tempo is one of the most important elements of musical language, the expressive meaning of which is determined both by the composer’s idea and the performer’s interpretation. The ambiguity of the author’s tempo designations and the lightness of perception of tempo changes by listeners explain the wide use of variability of tempo interpretations for the implementation of individual performance concepts. The article reveals the role of tempo in forming ideas about composing styles among listeners of different eras, in updating existing performance stereotypes, and reveals the relationship between the historical life of a work and the permissibility of its various tempo incarnations. Specific examples in the aspect of the problem of selecting audio materials for training courses in music-historical and music-theoretical disciplines show the expressive possibilities of musical tempo, its role in transmitting the genre, style, and image of musical works from the point of view of compliance of performing tempo solutions with the composer’s idea and artistic expediency. The possibility of including comparative characteristics of interpretations in the study of music-theoretical disciplines to reveal the diversity of music content is justified.

Asymptotic analysis for elliptic equations with Robin boundary condition
Authors: Kim Junghwa
Published: May 2020

We investigate the boundary layers of a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation in a 3D channel domain. The equation is supplemented with a Robin boundary condition especially when the smooth function on the boundary, appearing in the Robin boundary condition, depends on the perturbation parameter. By constructing an explicit function, called corrector, which describes behavior of the perturbed solution near the boundary, we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the perturbed solution as the sum of the corresponding limit solution and the corrector, and show the convergence in [Formula: see text] of the perturbed solution to the limit solution as the perturbation parameter tends to zero.
