GCT of knee treated with modular prosthesis-case presentation
Authors: Papuc Alexandru , Japie Ioan Mihai , Ciobanu Traian , Nutiu Octavian , Radulescu Dragos , Radulescu Radu
Published: June 2019

The GCT is an aggressive benign tumor with metastatic potential, most often within the lungs in 2-3% of the patients. It makes about 5% of total bone tumors and about 15% of total benign bone tumors.

The maximum incidence occurs between 30 and 40 years old, most frequently affecting the long bones epiphysis (distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius).

We report the case of a 50-year-old female, with no previous medical history, admitted in the emergency department (ED) for significant pain and functional impairment of the left knee. Clinical examination and imaging tests established the diagnosis of distal femoral tumor.

The patient underwent surgical segmental resection of the tumor within oncological limits and subsequent arthroplasty with cemented modular tumoral prosthesis was performed.

Even if the GCT is a benign tumor, it has an aggressive behavior and malignancy potential with an important impact on quality of life. Due to localization, this type of tumor can quickly manifest clinically, which allows an early diagnosis and a less invasive surgical technique.

Published: June 2019

The clinical signs and symptoms of an acute in increase intraabdominal pressure (IAP) are subtle, especially in the conditions of the polytraumatized patient. Thus, abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) can brutally occur and can have a major impact on the body’s main organs and systems. The purpose of our research was to identify the influence of intraabdominal pressure, intra-abdominal hypertension, and abdominal compartment syndrome, in the evolution of polytraumatized patients. Our study analyzed the patients admitted in the IIIrd Department of General Surgery of University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest between 1st of January 2010 and 31st of December 2018. The value of intraabdominal pressure, on admission, correlated with the risk of IAH/ ACS in patients with abdominal trauma - being major causes of morbidity and mortality. IAP monitoring should become a mandatory part of the management plan for patients with abdominal trauma.

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Hip fracture is the most severe consequence of osteoporosis and an important cause of excess mortality in the elderly.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the in-hospital mortality rate after osteoporotic hip fracture in patients treated surgically or functionally in specialized centers in Bucharest.

Materials and methods: We calculated the in-hospital mortality rate in 745 patients (540 women [72.48%], with a mean age of 79.1 ± 11 years), surgically or functionally treated for fragility hip fracture over a 12 months period.

Results: Average length of hospitalization was 18.12 days. In hospital mortality rate was 5.36% (n=40, women 60%). An important risk factor associated with mortality was age, p=0.001. The male sex was also a risk factor with a mortality rate of 7,8% (n=16), compared to 4.44% in women, p<0.005, with OR of 1.57. Out of the 40 patients, 57.5% had a femoral neck fracture, 35% intertrochanteric, and 5.5% atypical fracture in absence of bisphosphonates. 7.5% had previous fragility fractures. 85% of the patients had a history of one or more cardiac pathologies (34.28% with atrial fibrillation), 57.5% underwent surgical intervention (n=23) with an average day of intervention of 8.82 after admission. None of the patients had an osteoporosis treatment before the event and on average 3.73 medications with an increased risk of falling and fracture.

Conclusion: In-hospital mortality rate after hip fracture remains high; probably this being related to the high comorbidity associated with male sex and increased age as risk factors.

Published: June 2019

This paper discusses the pull-out laboratory tests and the monitoring of expansion-shell bolts with a length of 1.82 m. The bolts comprised the KE-3W expansion shell, a rod with a diameter of 0.0183 m and a profiled, circular plate with a diameter of 0.14 m, and a gauge of 0.006 m. The bolts were installed in a concrete block with a compressive strength of 75 MPa. The tests were conducted on a state-of-the-art test stand owned by the Department of Underground Mining of the AGH University of Science and Technology. The test stand can be used to test roof bolts on a geometric scale of 1:1 under static and rapidly varying loads. Also, the stand is suitable for testing rods measuring 5.5 m in length. The stand has a special feature of providing the ongoing monitoring of bolt load, displacement and deformation. The primary aim of the study was to compare the results recorded by two different measurement systems with the innovative Self-Excited Acoustic System (SAS) for measuring stress variations in roof bolts. In order to use the SAS, a special handle equipped with an accelerometer and exciter mounted to the nut or the upset end of the rod was designed at the Faculties of Mining and Geoengineering and Mechanical Engineering and Robotics of the AGH University of Science and Technology. The SAS can be used for nondestructive evaluation of performance of bolts around mining workings and in tunnels. Through laboratory calibration tests, roof bolt loads can be assessed using the in-situ non-destructive method.
Effects of Football Match Results of Croatian National Team on Stock Returns: Evidence from Zagreb Stock Exchange
Authors: Škrinjarić Tihana , Barišić Patrik
Published: June 2019

This paper observes short term effects of football match results by focusing on the Croatian national team and stock returns on the Zagreb Stock Exchange. Existing literature identifies psychological factors affecting investor’s sentiment around sporting events on different stock markets. There does not exist any study focusing on the Croatian stock market. Thus, this paper extensively observes such effects for the first time in the literature. Event study methodology, a usual approach of investigating such effects, is used on a sample of 60 stocks on the Zagreb Stock Exchange for the period from 2014 until the end of 2018. The results indicate no significant effects of winning or losing a football match, even when controlling for game being friendly, competitive tournament or qualification one; as well as after controlling for investor’s expectations based upon betting odds. This means that no profitable trading strategies could be obtained around the football match day on the Zagreb Stock Exchange in the observed period for the stocks investigated in this paper.
Is Currency Appreciation or Depreciation Expansionary in Kosovo?
Authors: Hsing Yu
Published: June 2019

Applying an extended IS-MP-AS model (Romer, 2000), this paper shows that real depreciation of the euro raises real GDP in Kosovo and that a lower real lending rate in the euro area, a higher real GDP in Germany, a lower real oil price, or a lower expected inflation rate would help increase real GDP. More government deficit spending as a percent of GDP does not affect real GDP.
Innovative Partnership Between a Rural Mental Health Center and Community Pharmacy: Integration of a Mental Health Pharmacist
Authors: Ng ShuYing , Jones Robert Buckner , Schwartzwald Laura , Murugappan Meena , Pittenger Amy , Edwards Kevin , Seifert Randall
Published: June 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe how an innovative partnership between a rural community mental health center, community independent pharmacy and College of Pharmacy and integration of a mental health pharmacist lead to identification of medication therapy problems (MTP’s) and interprofessional team partnerships with center mental health professionals.

Methods: A contractual arrangement was initiated between Northern Pines Mental Health Center (NPMHC), GuidePoint Pharmacy Services GPS) and the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy (UMN CoP) to place a PGY1 resident at NPMHC.  The resident was assigned to work closely with the Chief Medical Officer and provide initial comprehensive medication management (CMM) services to individuals who were enrolled in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). A retrospective chart review was conducted to evaluate the impact of services provided. Patient inclusion criteria included ACT enrollees 18 years or older, a diagnosis of SPMI, taking at least one psychotropic medication, and participation in at least one resident-led CMM visit. Additional findings included the relationship between the pharmacist, the psychiatric physician, and other members of the ACT team. Descriptive statistics were used to document the findings.

Findings: N = 30 met the inclusion criteria: 18 males and 12 females, age ranged from 24 - 69 with average of 44 years old. 110 MTPs were identified ranging from no MTPs to 10 MTPs per patient, with a mean of 4 MTPs/patient. There was an uneven distribution of MTPs between psychiatric and medical conditions, with a disproportionately high occurrence of “Needs Additional Drug Therapy” in medical conditions and “Adverse Drug Reaction” in psychiatric conditions. In addition, the services were valued by members on the ACT team.

Conclusion: Rural residents with SPMI in intensive community treatment have complex medication needs that require the training and skills of a clinical pharmacist. Despite the inclusion of a medication list as part of the ACT fidelity standards MTPs may go unrecognized and unresolved without the services of a clinical pharmacist conducting CMM. The pharmacist and psychiatric physician formed a collaborative partnership to address medication issues. We conclude that there is a need for integrating clinical pharmacist services into rural mental health centers.

Ohio Community Pharmacist Interest and Participation in Community-Clinical Linkages
Authors: Alexander Scott J , DiPietro Mager Natalie A
Published: June 2019

Background: Community-clinical linkages have been promoted as a means to improve population health.  The community pharmacy is an ideal location for these partnerships to occur due to the expertise of the community pharmacist. While the need for these partnerships exists, there are limited data regarding community pharmacists’ current participation in such programs.

Objective: The purpose of this analysis was to assess Ohio community pharmacists’ involvement and interest in community-clinical linkages. 

Methods: An electronic survey tool containing 26 questions was developed to assess Ohio community pharmacists’ participation in community-clinical linkages and interest to develop such partnerships. The tool was sent via email to a random sample of 500 pharmacists registered in Ohio and practicing in a community setting.  Chi-square or Fisher exact nonparametric statistical tests were used as appropriate to identify whether there were any significant differences in current partnership or interest to partner with a prescriber who refers patients to their community pharmacy based on education (Bachelor of Science or Doctor of Pharmacy degree) or pharmacy location (urban, suburban, or rural). 

Results: Nine emails were undeliverable, leaving a sample of 491 pharmacists.  Ninety-three (19%) responded to the survey.  Sixteen respondents (17%) indicated that they currently partner with a prescriber who refers patients to their pharmacy for assistance with medications or chronic disease state management; this practice was more often reported in urban settings (p=0.022).  Of those not currently participating in such a partnership, 53 (57%) were interested in developing one.  Thirty-two respondents (34%) reported providing referrals for at least 1 type of screening or counseling service.  For some types of services, pharmacists reported that they provide the service in the pharmacy and/or were interested to develop the service in the pharmacy rather than provide a referral.  However, for any given service there were a number of pharmacists who expressed interest in providing referrals although they were not currently doing so.

Conclusion: This sample of Ohio community pharmacists reported limited participation in community-clinical linkages but interest to develop them.  Further studies should explore the pharmacists’ role and impact in such programs.

40Ar/39Ar age of rock deformations across the Bazhenov suture zone (eastern border of the Middle Urals)
Authors: Smirnov V. N. , Ivanov K. S. , Travin A. V.
Published: June 2019

Research subject. This article presents data on the nature of rock deformations in the Bazhenov suture zone. The data was obtained by 40Ar/39Ar dating of mica samples from schists and blastomylonites, which were collected acrossan area extending approximately for 100 km along the Bazhenov suture. This suture separates the Eastern zone of the Middle Urals dipped under the cover of the West Siberian plate from exposed geologic structures of the Urals.

Methods.The character of the deformations was studied by means of direct geological observation. The age of the deformations was determined by mica dating using the 40Ar/39Ar method.

Results. The deformations were found to have occurred in several phases. The initial phase, which led to the formation of a band of blastomylonites and rocks showing a varying degree of schistosity with a width of over 10 km in particular areas, is likely to have had the character of left-lateral fault. The upper age limit of this deformation phase is determined by the intrusion of the subalkaline rocks of the Petukhovskii complex (280 Ma), which had not been affected by any deformation processes. The subsequent type of deformations had been left-lateral strike-slip faults of submeridianal strike and subvertical dip, which were represented by low-thickness (usually about 10 cm, rarely up to 0.5 m) zones of intensely deformed rocks cutting the schistosity of the previous phase at an acute angle. The final phase of the deformations is shown to be a sloping fault. The dislocation planes of this type were represented by slickensides and chlorite incrustations. Despite the apparent polychronicity of the deformation processes, which were established within the Bazhenov suture zone by our geological observations, 40Ar/39Ar age dating identified only one event. The average value of five conducted tests was about 251 Ma. Apparently, this age should be associated with the most recent geological processes having occurred at temperatures sufficient to fully overload the K-Ar isotopic system of the studied rocks, such as the deformations caused by strike-slip dislocations.

Conclusions. The strike-slip fault dislocations dated in this work occurred approximately 25 Ma after the completion of the tectonic activity in the Serov-Mauk fault zone, which is located to the west of the Bazhenov zone. In addition, the time of these dislocations very nearly coincides with that of the formation of the grabens of meridional strike at the base of the West Siberian plate, which took place about 250 Ma ago. This supports apreviously made conclusionon the similar character of the geological development of the eastern border part of the Urals and the adjoining basement of the West Siberian plate.
Trace-elements in minerals from unusual rocks of the Southern Urals
Authors: Korinevsky V. G. , Filippova K. A. , Kotlyarov V. A. , Korinevsky E. V. , Artemyev D. A.
Published: June 2019

Research subject. This articles presents the data obtained in the course of 75 analytical studies on a wide range of minerals (amphiboles, pyroxenes, garnets, spinels, olivines, anorthites, corundums, epidotes, apatites, clinochlore, dolomite, calcite, zircon) contained in igneous and metamorphic Southern Urals rocks. In addition, information is provided about the content of trace elements, including rare earth (REE) ones, in these rocks. The data on the content of trace elements in some minerals are presented for the first time (höegbomite, sapphirine, zoisite, clinozoisite, gedrite, cummingtonite, anthophyllite, potassium-magnesiohastingsite).

Materials and methods. A petrographic analysis of rocks containing the minerals under study was carried out. A particular attention was paid to petrographic analysis of rocks containing the minerals under study was carried out. A particular attention was paid to “fresh” rocks, containing the mineral under study which rarely occur in the Urals. These rocks feature inclusions of serpentinite melange in the form of plates and lenses among the metamorphic strata (schists, gneisses, and amphibolites) and are characterized by the preservation of primary structures, relative chemical homogeneity, as well as the presence of simultaneous growth surfaces between most minerals. Of particular research interest were minerals from rocks, the composition of which had been relatively poorly studied (pyroxene-amphibole anorthite gabbro and gabbro-amphibolites, scapolite rocks, hornblendite, gedrite-cummingtonite-anthophyllitic crystallo-schists and amphibolites, ore-less carbonatites). The composition of mineral samples was determined using a scanning microscope REMMA-202 M equipped with an energy dispersive console and a mass-spectrometer Agilent 7700x (ICP-MS and LA-ICP-MS methods).

Results. Petrographic characteristics of the rocks containing the minerals under study are given. The geographical coordinates of locations, where mineral sampling was performed, are provided. The content of trace elements is shown to vary greatly within related species of minerals (amphiboles, garnets, pyroxenes, olivines, epidotes, spinels, mica, etc.), with the fluctuations being independent of the alkalinity of host rocks or their geological nature.

Conclusions. For the first time, a significant role of zoisite and clinozoisite in the process of concentrating trace elements, including REE, has been revealed. The role of apatite as one of the main mineral concentrators of REE has not been confirmed either in the main and ultrabasic rocks, or in some calcite-dolomite carbonatites.
Determination and evaluation of minimum miscibility pressure using various methods: experimental, visual observation, and simulation
Authors: Abdurrahman Muslim , Bae Wisup , Permadi Asep Kurnia
Published: June 2019

This research proposes a simultaneous technique using various methods to yield the most reliable Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) value. Several methods have been utilized in this study including slim tube test, swelling test, vanishing interfacial tension test, visual observation during swelling test and vanishing interfacial tension test, and simulation. The proposed method may reduce the uncertainty and avoid doubtful MMP. The method can also demonstrate discrepancies among the results. There were two samples used in this study namely Crude Oil AB-5 and Crude Oil AB-4. It showed that for Crude Oil AB-5 the discrepancies among the results from that of the slim tube test were between 3.9% and 10.4% and 0% and 5.9% for the temperature of 60 °C and 66 °C, respectively. The highest discrepancy was shown by the results from the visual observation during vanishing interfacial tension test and the lowest discrepancy was shown by the results from the swelling test. The vanishing interfacial tension test was found to be the fastest method for predicting the MMP. The method also consumed a smaller amount of oil and gas samples for the experiment. The simultaneous method proposed in this study is considered as more proper and exhibits a valuable method for predicting the MMP. This technique has never been found to be performed by previous researchers and accordingly it becomes the strong point of this study to contribute to the global research in the area of MMP determination.
“De onde? Para onde?” The Continuity Question and the Debate over Brazil’s “Civil”-Military Dictatorship
Authors: Pagliarini Andre
Published: June 2019

This article deals with the disputed terminology used to refer to the Brazilian military regime (1964–1985). On one side is the traditional “military dictatorship” nomenclature, which places the armed forces at the center of the political system during the period in question. Conversely, the more recent “civil-military dictatorship” terminology notes that the regime depended on civilian allies in business and government, as well as popular support, throughout its existence. My entry point is a heated 2012 debate between journalist Pedro Pomar and the radical art collective Coletivo Zagaia. I explore how new social actors that emerged after redemocratization have become central to the struggle over human rights in Brazil and, more specifically, how the dictatorship is remembered in the present. This debate among scholars, activists, bloggers, and journalists is fundamentally about memory, accountability, and, I argue, the quality of Brazilian democracy today.
ESTUDO DA PRÉ-VIABILIDADE TÉCNICO-FINANCEIRA DOS PROCESSOS DE PRODUÇÃO DOS AMINOÁCIDOS TREONINA E TRIPTOFANO
Authors: Rodrigues Debora Leite da Rocha , Piccoli Rosane A. M.
Published: June 2019

A treonina e o triptofano são aminoácidos essenciais para o desenvolvimento humano e animal. Em 2012 o Brasil importou 21.000 toneladas de treonina e 3.400 toneladas de triptofano para consumo interno. O BNDES emitiu um relatório e sugeriu a substituição da importação por produção local destes aminoácidos. Uma vez que a treonina e o triptofano são produzidos por via biotecnológica e portanto podem ser sintetizados a partir da sacarose, existe grande possibilidade de realizar essa produção no Brasil. A partir dessa ideia foi realizada a análise do custo de produção da treonina e do triptofano empregando o software Superpro Designer utilizando dados da literatura como parâmetros para  a simulação. Obteve-se através da simulação o custo de produção para a treonina de US$1,67/kg e, para a produção de triptofano de  U$3,75/kg, sendo considerados custos viáveis comparados ao preço FOB de mercado: treonina US$2,10/kg a US$2,80/kg e triptofano de US$6/kg a US$20/kg.
Macrocycles of Higher Ortho-Phenylenes: Assembly and Folding
Authors: Kinney Zacharias , Kirinda Viraj , Hartley Scott
Published: June 2019

Higher-order structure in abiotic foldamer systems represents an important but largely unrealized goal. As one approach to this challenge, covalent assembly can be used to assemble macrocycles with foldamer subunits in well-defined spatial relationships. Such systems have previously been shown to exhibit self-sorting, new folding motifs, and dynamic stereoisomerism, yet there remain important questions about the interplay between folding and macrocyclization and the effect of structural confinement on folding behavior. Here, we explore the dynamic covalent assembly of extended ortho-phenylenes (hexamer and decamer) with rod-shaped linkers. Characteristic 1H chemical shift differences between cyclic and acyclic systems can be compared with computational conformer libraries to determine the folding states of the macrocycles. We show that the bite angle provides a measure of the fit of an o-phenylene conformer within a shape-persistent macrocycle, affecting both assembly and ultimate folding behavior. For the o-phenylene hexamer, the bite angle and conformer stability work synergistically to direct assembly toward triangular [3+3] macrocycles of well-folded oligomers. For the decamer, the energetic accessibility of conformers with small bite angles allows [2+2] macrocycles to be formed as the predominant species. In these systems, the o-phenylenes are forced into unusual folding states, preferentially adopting a backbone geometry with distinct helical blocks of opposite handedness. The results show that simple geometric restrictions can be used to direct foldamers toward increasingly complex geometries.

The prescription of Methotrexate is well-recognized for various neoplastic diseases. For Rheumatoid arthritis, it is prescribed once a week, low-dose regimen for the treatment of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Apart from providing therapeutic benefit, it is not devoid of side effects like oral ulceration which may be due to over dosage regarding its once-weekly regime. This case report describes a patient with inherent Methotrexate toxicity that developed oral mucositis due to Methotrexate being given for rheumatoid arthritis.
Safety of Perioperative Anticoagulant Discontinuation in Cardiovascular Patients Undergoing Periodontal Therapy
Authors: Ritesh Vatsa  , Priyanka Priyadarshini
Published: June 2019

Periodontists are encountering increasing number of cases in their practices where patients present with cardiovascular diseases. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome or peripheral vascular disease are prescribed anticoagulant medications by cardiologists, such as aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, prasugrel, dipyridamole, cilostazol or dabigatran- either as monotherapy or dual therapy, for prevention of further thromboembolic events during lifetime. As because these agents act by inhibiting platelet aggregation, they tend to prolong bleeding time. Concerns regarding excessive periprocedural bleeding in patients receiving such drugs have led to some clinicians recommending periprocedural discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy. However, several studies, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, have proved that there is no significantly increased risk of bleeding associated with continuing anticoagulant therapy when compared with discontinuation or modification of the anticoagulant regimen. In fact, without the anticoagulant medication, these patients have been found to be at increased risk of thromboembolic events with potentially serious consequences. The accepted recommendation, therefore, is that the anticoagulant drug regimens should not be altered or discontinued prior to periodontal treatment procedures, as the risks associated with such discontinuation far outweigh the consequences of prolonged bleeding, which can be well controlled with local measures.

The General Principle of Excess Burden Minimization of Overall Commodity Tax
Authors: Kong Jun
Published: June 2019

This study is therotical and aims to explore the general principle of excess burden minimization of overall commodity tax using the combination methods of graphic analysis, deduction of number simulation, and dynamic optimization theory. This study identifies linearity characteristics formed by the links of tax revenue and excess burden to verify the individual principle of excess burden minimization of overall commodity tax by concavity characteristics. Moreover, the general principle of excess burden minimization of overall commodity tax is further verified by concavity andlinearity characteristics. The dynamic processes of excess burden minimization are changed because of the different features of the links.

The use of mobile learning, or M-learning, has been increasingly appreciated by educators due to its sustainability potential in different facets such as finance (i.e., affordable cost) and flexibility (i.e., time and pace of learning). However, it may not be effective in all situations. This study explored the feasibility of using M-learning for students’ self-study of mathematics in the context of Vietnamese high schools. Using 542 student and 40 teacher responses to two surveys, the study showed that the use of M-learning might not be feasible for students’ self-study of mathematics due to difficulties related to accessing mathematics websites, the quality of mathematics website content, students’ low level of self-learning ability and learning disengagement. This study suggests that the use of M-learning may contribute to the sustainability of education; adopting it should be based on a critical examination of contextual factors, especially students’ self-learning ability and engagement. M-learning can be promising and beneficial to students due to its capability to equip students to prepare for the fast-changing and technological-driven world. Educators have increasingly appreciated the use of M-learning, because it becomes more affordable and flexible. Nonetheless, there is still a question about near-future adoptions of M-learning due to unavailability of and inaccessibility to quality contents from trusted maths websites. The propensity of student engagements in M-learning is also an important issue for future research.

Absensi merupakan salah satu bentuk pengawasan atau kontrol terhadap tenaga pendidik maupun pegawai yang dilakukan di dunia pendidikan. Kegiatan absensi yang berjalan selama ini masih menggunakan sistem manual, dengan cara mencatat kehadiran tenaga pendidikan dan pegawai di buku atau kertas absensi. Akibatnya kemungkinan terjadinya kesalahan ataupun hambatan dalam membuat rekapitulasi absensi menjadi besar. Kesalahan ataupun hambatan yang sering muncul antara lain hilangnya kertas atau daftar absensi. Salah satu cara untuk mengurangi kesalahan yang terjadi adalah dengan membuat sebuah sistem yang dapat digunakan di mana saja, dengan menggunakan satu database yang akan menyimpan data absensi sehingga kemungkinan data tercecer akan kecilKata Kunci: Rekapitulasi, absensi, guru

ABSTRACT An educational organization will carry out operating functions that must be run within the organization to achieve the objectives of the education itself. Operational functions in educational organizations include accounting / financial operations, staffing, academic / curriculum functions, office administration, teaching and learning activities, buildings and spaces, libraries, alumni. To carry out these operational functions, management needs to be needed, where of course the management functions must run well. Management functions that must be run in moving the operating function to achieve goals that are expected to at least include the functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, evaluating, coordinating, and budgeting. Management of Educational Information Systems (MSIP) is a system designed for management needs in an effort to support management functions and activities in an educational organization. Data types and operating functions are tailored to the needs of management. The Educational Information Management System (MSIP) includes: a.Accounting information system / Keuan bro in educational organizations b.Student Information Systems in educational organizations c.Academic Information System / Curriculum in educational organizations d.Student Centered Learning through e-Learning in educational organizations Library information system in educational organizations.
Intelligence mindset shapes neural learning signals and memory
Authors: Bejjani Christina , DePasque Samantha , Tricomi Elizabeth
Published: June 2019

Intelligence mindset, which denotes individual beliefs about whether intelligence is fixed versus malleable, shapes academic success, but the neural mechanisms underlying mindset-related differences in learning are unknown. Here, we probe the effects of individual differences in mindset on neural responses to negative feedback after a competence threat manipulation. We hypothesized that when their competence was threatened, participants with fixed mindsets would interpret further negative feedback as punishing. After receiving either no score or a competence-threatening IQ score, participants performed a learning task with feedback that emphasized either the evaluative or informational weight of negative feedback. Participants who experienced the competence threat had the strongest predictive relationships between mindset, performance, and caudate activation. The competence threat may have compounded the subjective punishment of negative feedback for fixed mindsets relative to growth mindsets, causing poorer learning from negative feedback in the evaluative context and inflexible striatal responses to negative feedback across feedback contexts.

Sustainable food security at household level is one of the emerging issues for all nations. There are several factors such as social, economic, political, demographic, natural, and livelihood strategies that causes to the vulnerability of the status of household food security. Therefore examining the vulnerability of these factors is essential to identify the reason and recognize the most vulnerable communities. This study is an attempt to study on the vulnerability of the factors of household food utilization and its linkage with climatic changes in Malaysia. The study is based on primary data collected in the months of July – October, 2012 through a questionnaire survey on 460 low income households from East Coast Economic Region (ECER) in Malaysia. The samples were selected from E-Kasih poor household database, based on cluster random sampling technique. The study found that the vulnerability of the factors of household food utilization has increased statistically significantly over the last five years period due to difference between rural and city food quality, occurrences of natural disasters, incidences of mosquitoes, insects, pest, etc., and diseases like dengue, malaria, heat stretch, cold, skin disease, etc. This study suggests that the food security programs need to be integrated with climatic change adaptation programs to ensure more effective and sustainable household food security in future, especially among the poor and low income group.
