Background: Placenta previa (P.P) is a condition where the lower edge of the placenta lies close to the internal os. It may partially or completely cover the internal os. Objectives: To determine the frequency of placenta previa on ultrasonography in females with history of Caesarean section. Methodology: This descriptive study was held in Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital Lahore and Tehsil Headquarter Hospital, Pattoki. Convex Probe Esotae 2.5 5-7MHz and Logiqv3 (5-7MHz) was used in the study. 140 pregnant women with history of previous Caesarean section were included in the study and were examined through convenient sampling. Data was collected after signing the consent form. Statistical software for social sciences (SPSS version 22.0) is used for the analysis of data. Results: According to the data analysis, minimum age patient was of 18 years and maximum age was 41 years. 37(26.4%) women had 1 previous Caesarean section. 57(40.7%) women had 2, 31(22.1%) women had 3, 15(10.7%) had 4 of previous Caesarean sections. 86(61.4%) women had a history of bleeding. 54(38.6%) women had no history of bleeding. According to analysis of placenta previa, 126(90.0%) women did not have a placenta previa and 14(10.0%) women had placenta previa. Cross tabulation analysis between frequency of patients with placenta previa and previous Caesarean cases evaluated that 126 patients with previous Caesarean rate did not placenta previa confirmed on ultrasound whereas 14 patients with previous Caesarean section had placenta previa on ultrasound. Conclusion: Placenta previa is seen in ten percent of subsequent pregnancies in females who have a history of previous Caesarean section.
Fiscal Decentralization and Incentives of Local Authorities
in the Russian Federation
Authors: Bukharsky Vladislav V.
Published: April 2021

This article examines the impact of intraregional fiscal decentralization on fiscal incentives for local
governments in the Russian Federation. It is expected that decentralization contributes to the economic
development of territories through two channels: 1) a higher level of budgetary (tax) decentralization
gives more opportunities to local authorities to realize the economic potential of the territory; 2)
stable decentralization of revenue sources preserves incentives for local authorities to realize such
opportunities. In comparison with the widespread approach to measuring these incentives in terms
of gross regional product, the author uses indicators of entrepreneurship, the development of which
is mostly within the competence of local authorities. As a measure and stability of decentralization,
the norms for deducting revenues to local budgets are used. No clear and conclusive evidence of the
impact of decentralization is found: due to the low financial security of subnational budgets overall,
the transfer of standards can rather be understood as financial assistance to the lower budget, in
particular because the size of the average transferred standard grows with the level of subsidies in
the region. At the same time, there are certain positive results: the very fact of the transfer of the
revenues levied in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system is accompanied
by an increase in entrepreneurial activity in the region. A similar effect is exerted by the stability of the
revenues on personal income tax and corporate property tax. In general, it can also be pointed out
that local authorities have low indicators of the level and stability (rigidity) of budget decentralization.
On the Verge of Institutionalisation? Participatory Budgeting Evidence in Five Italian Regions
Authors: Allegretti Giovanni , Bassoli Matteo , Colavolpe Greta
Published: April 2021

Over the past few years, Italy has been setting the stage for different democratic innovations, especially
those that have been implemented at municipal (or sub-municipal) level in different parts of the country.
The expansion of Participatory Budgeting has been a remarkable one, accompanied by the diffusion of
regional laws that were adopted to promote a culture of more intense civic participation. Moving from
an overview of the recent diffusion of Participatory Budgeting in different areas of the country, this
article proposes a reflection on what kind of added value the existence of this legal provision has led to
the promotion of participation at a regional level and what this may represent. The construction of the
Italian branch of Participatory Budgeting’s World Atlas offers an opportunity to assess legal provisions’
contribution to the diffusion and enrootment of participatory practices, especially in smaller-scale
municipalities. Through zooming into some cases (such as Sicily, Emilia Romagna, Apulia and Tuscany,
or Lazio in the last few years) the authors argue that the formalisation of participatory practices into
legal frameworks today is an important but not a sufficient factor that diffuses and enroots participatory
culture in local territories, and that a supplement of monitoring structures and detailed studies would
help make challenges and added values of regional law frameworks clearer.
Aluminum in food and potential role on Alzheimer’s disease of aluminum
Authors: BOBUŞ ALKAYA Günseli , DEMİRCİ Çağatay , ŞEVİK Hüseyin
Published: April 2021

Several studies have shown the relationship between the aluminum exposure and the Alzheimer's disease. The gastrointestinal absorption of Aluminum (Al) is low. Also, If the renal filtering system works as needed, generally urine can be enough to eliminate overdose (rational over concentrations) of Al. But Al can be found in kinds of foods and drinks such as processed foods (because of additives, packaging materials, utensils…), fresh vegetables and fruits (because of soil) and even in drinking water therefore, in some cases, the Al level may pose a health risk. Chronic high concentration to Al exposure preferably intakes by oral, intravascular ways with also not having a good condition of Glomerular Filtering System of Kidneys (GFR). Nowadays, although mankind is having more Al by oral ways than past and many studies have been conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease(AD) or not. Therefore, this review is intended to provide a short summary of the works done in the past and it may warn people about Al intake in the next decade, therefore human can change their life to be more natural less industrial.
Differential expression of PREX2 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate dependent Rac exchange factor 2, PREX2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PREX2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PREX2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with luminal B cancers, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. PREX2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
“It’s being a part of a grand tradition, a grand counter-culture which involves communities”: A qualitative investigation of autistic community connectedness
Authors: Botha Monique , Dibb Bridget , Frost David
Published: April 2021

Autistic people report experiencing greater comfort socialising and easier communication with other autistic people compared to with non-autistic people. Despite autism being stereotypically associated with a lack of social motivation or community, an autistic community has been described briefly in the literature but is not yet well understood. Autistic community connectedness (ACC) may play an important role in promoting and protecting wellbeing for autistic people. This qualitative study involved interviewing autistic individuals (N = 20) in-person, via a video-based platform, over a text-based platform, or over email (according to the needs of the participants) to investigate ACC. Critical grounded theory tools were used to collect and analyse the data. Three elements of ACC were apparent in the data: belongingness, social connectedness, and political connectedness. Belongingness referred to the general sense of similarity that autistic people experienced with other autistic people, which they often did not with non-autistic people. Social connectedness referred to specific friendship participants formed with other autistic people. Political connectedness referred to a connectedness to the political or social equality goals of the autistic community. Participants described the benefits of ACC as being increased self-esteem, a sense of direction, and access to a sense of community that they did not typically experience with non-autistic people. Lack of connectedness involved ambivalence with an autism diagnosis and/or feelings of internalised stigma. These experiences of ACC may have implications for autistic people’s health and wellbeing, as well as how they deal with exposure to discrimination and stigma.

The stop-signal paradigm has become ubiquitous in investigations of inhibitory control. Tasks inspired by the paradigm, referred to as stop-signal tasks, require participants to make responses on go trials and to inhibit those responses when presented with a stop-signal on stop trials. Currently, the most popular version of the stop-signal task is the ‘choice-reaction’ variant, where participants make choice responses, but must inhibit those responses when presented with a stop-signal. An alternative to the choice-reaction variant of the stop-signal task is the ‘anticipated response inhibition’ task. In anticipated-response inhibition tasks, participants are required to make a planned response that coincides with a predictably timed event (such as lifting a finger from a computer key to stop a filling bar at a predefined target). Anticipated-response inhibition tasks have some advantages over the more traditional choice-reaction stop-signal tasks and are becoming increasingly popular. However, currently, there are no openly available versions of the anticipated response inhibition task, limiting potential uptake. Here, we present an open-source, free, and ready-to-use version of the anticipated-response inhibition task, which we refer to as the OSARI (the Open-Source Anticipated Response Inhibition) task.
Inquisitive but Not Discerning: Deprivation Curiosity is Associated with Excessive Openness to Inaccurate Information
Authors: Zedelius Claire Marie , Gross Madeleine , Schooler Jonathan
Published: April 2021

Epistemic curiosity (the desire for knowledge) is considered a catalyst for learning and innovation. The current research reveals another, darker side of curiosity, which emerges when we examine the independent contributions of the two facets that make up epistemic curiosity—interest and deprivation curiosity. In four preregistered studies (collective N = 2020), we show that interest curiosity, a facet of curiosity motivated by the joy of exploration, is associated with traits and abilities that benefit learning. These include general knowledge (Studies 1-4), intellectual humility (Studies 1-4), responsiveness to new information (Studies 1, 3 & 4), and accuracy in distinguishing real and made-up concepts (Studies 1-4). In contrast, deprivation curiosity, which is motivated by the desire to reduce uncertainty, is associated with mistakes and confusion. Individuals high in deprivation curiosity claim familiarity with novel information (Studies 1 & 3) and made-up concepts (Studies 1-4). They find meaning in pseudo-profound and pseudo-scientific “bullshit” (Studies 3 & 4) and are prone to believing and sharing disinformation or “fake news” (Study 4). To make matters worse, they lack intellectually humility (Studies 1-4), and are thus unlikely to recognize their mistakes. We find that these difficulties are not explained by narcissistic self-enhancement (Study 2) or lack of analytic thinking (Study 4), and only partially accounted for by need for closure (Study 3). We theorize that deprivation curiosity is characterized by an indiscriminate openness to information.
Hormonal Contraceptive Use and Cycle Phase Effects on Competitive Persistence: Progesterone as a Mediating Mechanism (Stage 1 Registered Report)
Authors: Casto Kathleen V , Blake Khandis , Arthur-Hulme Lindsie
Published: April 2021

Objectives: Increasing evidence suggests that hormonal contraceptive (HC) use adversely effects psychological functioning and competitiveness. HCs expose women to consistently high doses of synthetic progesterone, a hormone that fluctuates across the natural menstrual cycle. We propose to test group differences in competitive persistence between HC users, naturally cycling (NC) women in their low progesterone phase, and NC women in their high progesterone phase. Additionally, we will test salivary progesterone among NC women as a mediator of phase effects on competitiveness.Method: Pre-screening will identify HC users, and naturally cycling women at the two cycle phases. Participants will provide a sample of saliva and complete two behavioral competitiveness tasks. Covariates will also be collected.Predicted Results: We predict that follicular phase NC women will demonstrate longer competitive persistence compared to luteal phase NC women and HC users. Progesterone will positively mediate the effect of cycle phase on competitive persistence among NC women. Conclusions: This research will address the effects of HC use, cycle phase, and progesterone levels on competitive behavior in women. The outcome may be an artifact of female reproductive physiology that is likely adaptive, but potentially detrimental to women’s social and occupational advancement, raising concerns about the social-psychological risks of HC use.
Polygenic scores: prediction versus explanation
Authors: Plomin Robert , von Stumm Sophie
Published: April 2021

During the past decade, polygenic scores have become the fastest-growing area of research in the behavioural sciences. The ability to predict genetic propensities has transformed research by making it possible to add genetic predictors of traits to any study. The value of polygenic scores in the behavioural sciences rests in using inherited DNA differences to predict, from birth, common disorders and complex traits in unrelated individuals in the population. This predictive power of polygenic scores does not require knowing anything about the processes that lie between genes and behaviour. It also does not mandate disentangling the extent to which the prediction is due to assortative mating, genotype-environment correlation, or even population stratification. Although bottom-up explanation from genes to brain to behaviour will remain the long-term goal of the behavioural sciences, prediction is also a worthy achievement because it has immediate practical utility for identifying individuals at risk and is the necessary first step towards explanation. A high priority for research must be to increase the predictive power of polygenic scores to be able to use them as an early warning system to prevent problems.

In this modern era marked by the discovery of advanced technology, it requires a creative young generation, so that they can compete in accordance with the demands of the times. One of the areas of creativity that gets that place is creativity in creating films. Films can be used as a place to express feelings, as well as be used as a product promotion or area where the film's work is produced. This fact is strengthened by the increasing inclusion of social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram which provide video media in their content. To produce good film work requires a process of putting into practice the theories of filmmaking. With this film-making training, at least the members of the Matan Theater can get to know more closely what film is and can practice making good and correct films at the same time.

Environmental niche modelling as tool for pest risk assessment
Authors: Afonin* A. N. , Kulakova Yu. Yu. , Fedorova Yu. A.
Published: April 2021

The article reviews the concept and technology of pest risk assessment for the spread of quarantine species based on ecological and geographical analysis and ecological niche modeling. Using a quarantine species Ipomoea hederacea (L.) Jacq. as an example, we calculated the ecological requirements of the species. The main ecological factors limiting the spread of I. hederacea were determined and the ecological amplitudes of the species in relation to each factor limiting its distribution were quantitatively estimated. We identified ecologically suitable habitats and compiled a map of the ecological-geographical niche of the species using specially created environmental maps based on the obtained data of the ecological limits of the species. Using the map of the ecological-geographical niche, the I. hederacea distribution risk in the regions of the Russian Federation was estimated. Similar maps can be used for basis of quantitative as well as targeted risk assessment of penetration and establishment of harmful organisms. Obtained information will be useful to compile lists of quarantine species, estimate the potential areas of geographic distribution of pests into Russian Federation, and make decisions for introduction of effective phytosanitary measures to prevent the penetration of these invasive organisms. It can also be used as the basis for organizing and conducting phytosanitary monitoring in the Russian Federation.

Authors: Lima Marinice Barbosa De , Trajano Silvia Letícia Leite Albuquerque , Fernandes Patrícia Luiza Da Costa
Published: April 2021

Introdução: O Papilomavírus humano (HPV) é o agente causador da infecção sexualmente transmissível mais frequente em todo mundo. A relação entre a infecção pelo vírus HPV e o câncer de colo do útero tem sido bastante divulgada, no entanto o HPV também esta associado a ocorrência de câncer em homens, como câncer peniano, anal, de cabeça e pescoço. Objetivo: Discutir a relação entre a infecção pelo HPV e o surgimento de câncer no homem. Material e Métodos: Pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica utilizando artigos científicos e teses publicados no período de 2004 a 2017. Referencial Teórico: O HPV apresenta alta incidência na população. A infecção pelo HPV pode manifestar-se como verrugas ou pápulas ou ser assintomática e, nesse caso, os homens atuam como disseminadores da doença. O HPV tem afinidade pelo tecido epitelial mucoso e apesar de ser mais frequente na região anogenital, também pode ser encontrado na mucosa bucal e outras. A infecção persistente pelos HPVs do tipo oncogênicos, sendo o 16 e 18 os mais importantes, pode resultar no surgimento de cânceres do trato anogenital e de cabeça e pescoço. Em 2017 a vacina quadrivalente contra o HPV passou a ser disponibilizada também para meninos no Brasil, significando um grande avanço na prevenção do HPV. Considerações Finais: O HPV representa um importante tópico no campo da saúde masculina. É de fundamental importância que seja despertada a conscientização do público masculino, afim de evitar o surgimento dos cânceres associados ao HPV.
O RACISMO INSTITUCIONAL COMO VIOLAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS
Authors: Severo Rodrigues Adriana , Araújo Maria Paula Lopes
Published: April 2021

O racismo institucional subalterniza e estigmatiza a população negra brasileira (negros e pardos). Ele é uma das modalidades que confirmam o Brasil como um dos países que mais violam os direitos humanos no mundo, segundo a Anistia Internacional em 2018.  Nesse contexto, a pesquisa procura saber como ele se manifesta através de textos jornalísticos e televisivos, e se institui de maneira totalitária advindo das associações e órgãos institucionais. Por meio do método de "Análise de Conteúdo", aliado à teoria de Hall (2016), este estudo realizou uma análise de uma publicação do ano de 2019 pelo Jornal Extra buscando entender como ocorre a representação dos negros em matérias que circulam neste jornal popular. Os principais resultados ratificaram que esse veículo jornalístico se apropria de linguagens e imagens discursivas que banalizam o racismo institucional, legitimando uma estrutura racista, através de omissões e exercícios que levam em conta o fator racial dos negros do país.
University Legal Learning Spaces Effectiveness in Developing Employability Skills of Future Law Graduates
Authors: Turner Jason James , Amirnuddin Puteri Sofia , Iqbal Singh Harmahinder Singh
Published: April 2021

Purpose â€“ The objective of this study was to examine the role of legal learning space in a Malaysian university and how this space impacts on law studentsâ€™ preparation for the employment market. This study comes in response to the issue of inexperienced graduates, who lack appropriate employability skills for the world of work, commonly referred to as the â€˜graduate skills gapâ€™. Methodology â€“ This study used an online survey (accessed via a QR code) on 256 law students at a university in Malaysia. The sample size comprised 213 currently enrolled students and 43 alumni, with the former cohort representing 95% of the total law student population at the university and the latter representing 17% of the total alumni population. Findings â€“ The study found that students, regardless of their year of study, did not consider that legal learning space at the university replicated real life legal practice but thought that the space prepared them for employment. The students felt that some legal learning space was better than others in developing their employability skills. Despite this they enjoyed interacting in the space collectively and felt that it helped them improve their teamwork, communication and soft skills. It also revealed that the perceptions of legal learning space could be improved with better management of staff and student expectations. Significance â€“ This study was one of few studies, which investigated the role of learning space in developing law studentsâ€™ employability skills set. The findings helped to consolidate existing research in the area of graduate skills gap, the development of graduate employability skills, and in advancing research on identifying studentsâ€™ perception of learning space and the specific skills students felt they had developed while engaged in this space.

Purpose -  The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the impact of teaching Oriental Music using Blended Learning (BL) approach for the students of senior secondary level in Sri Lanka specifically focusing on their achievement on required competencies of Oriental Music at Ordinary Level. The study analyzes the academic performance of students with detailed comparison of BL environment and traditional learning environment. Authors propose the application of BL approach to teach Oriental Music and study its impact on improvement of studentsâ€™ competency. The study conducted with the application of a mixed instructional design model of objectivist and constructivist approaches for the design of the blended learning course in a student centred learning environment. Methodology -  The study was directed by using true experimental study design with pretest and posttest control groups. BL was applied to the experimental group and the traditional instruction method was applied to control group. 9 schools from Colombo district were randomly selected for the experimental and control groups covering all the three existing school types of Sri Lanka. The study group consisted of 360 students of Grade 10 and Grade 11 who has been studying Oriental Music as a subject for General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level. To analyze the data Descriptive statistics, Paired samples t test, Independent samples t test were utilized. Findings  - The findings of the experiment indicated that students who has studied Oriental Music under BL strategy showed a significant improvement in their music academic performances after the intervention. The mean post-test of the experimental group was 71.75 which is significantly higher than the mean control group which was 52.07. The mean difference was 19.68 1.91. Hence, there is a statistically significant increase in the performance of students who studied Oriental Music under blended learning. Thus, it is clearly evident that the blended instruction was effective. Significance -  This study indicated a positive platform to mould and cater the entire teaching learning process by introducing BL strategy to Sri Lankan secondary education system and fulfilled an existing research gap by utilizing BL to teach highly traditional abstract art. Results of the study contributes to the curriculum designing field with novel ideas to adapt blended instructions to teach secondary level students effectively.

Purpose â€“ The integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education has been reported to improve studentsâ€™ science achievement. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on how this approach affected different ability groups. Lack of equity or the presence of achievement gap can be detrimental because they can reduce medium and low-ability studentsâ€™ interest in science, which in turn can affect national development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the main and the interaction effects of integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (ISTEMA) on studentsâ€™ science achievement and how this approach affects students with different academic abilities. Methodology â€“ The research adopted a 2x3 factorial design. The sample size consisted of 100 Nigerian science students from Year 11. A total of 51 students with different academic abilities (low, medium and high) were assigned randomly to an experimental group. The experimental group was taught genetics using a fivephased iterative ISTEMA process. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using 40 multiple-choice questions adopted from a national high-stakes examination. Analysis of covariance, paired sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance were utilised in the data analysis. Findings â€“ Findings for research question one revealed a main significant difference in science achievement between year 11 students who learned using ISTEMA and those using traditional methods. No significant interaction effect was observed between the instructional approach and studentsâ€™ academic abilities, that is, studentsâ€™ academic abilities and the instructional approach did not interact to enhance studentsâ€™ achievement. The findings for research question two indicated that high, medium and low academic-ability students benefitted; however, students with low academic abilities had the highest mean gain. Significance â€“ Findings in this study have revealed empirically that the ISTEMA, as an instructional approach, has the potential to close the academic achievement gap. The findings may also serve as a guide for policymakers to promote STEM education in schools.

Purpose - The increase in the enrolments of immigrant children in New Zealand seems to have posed great challenges to early childhood education services when it comes to developing the childrenâ€™s English language acquisition. This qualitative case study explored how New Zealand early childhood teachers develop the English language acquisition of Asian immigrant English language learners (ELLs). The theoretical framework of this research drew on a range of sociocultural perspectives, including sociocultural adaptation and acculturation strategies. Methodology - The main participants of this study were seven early childhood teachers and six Asian immigrant ELLs from two early childhood centres. Data on the teachers were collected through observations and semi-structured interviews. For each centre, observations were carried out over a six week period which enabled a series of snapshots of how the teachers developed the English language acquisition of the ELLs. Findings - Making interactions comprehensible for the ELLs is one of the main strategies used by the teachers in developing the acquisition of English language by the ELLs. In the process of teaching the English language to the ELLs, most of the teachers were observed to use certain strategies in making interactions comprehensible for them. The teachers highlighted the strategies and modifications they made in order to make their interactions comprehensible for the ELLs. During the interview, it was clearly seen that with better proficiency in the English language, the communication between the ELLs and their teachers improved. Therefore, the sociocultural adaptation process takes place in a smooth manner for both the ELLs and the teachers. Significance - The central significance of the finding is that through the exploration of New Zealand early childhood teachersâ€™ beliefs and practices, important insights are offered which lead to the improvement of educational practices in early childhood settings for immigrant children in relation to English acquisition. While some of the teachersâ€™ beliefs and practices may have facilitative or positive effects on English acquisition, others may bring debilitative or harmful effects. The findings also add to the existing body of knowledge on teachersâ€™ beliefs and practices in developing English acquisition among the ELLs, particularly Asian children. In the New Zealand early childhood education context, the study provides a platform on how early childhood teachers in New Zealand could develop English acquisition among Asian immigrant ELLs, while valuing and understanding childrenâ€™s cultural backgrounds.
Using Think-Pair-Share Strategy to Support Students in Speaking Lessons
Authors: Phan Huyen , Lan Do Thi My
Published: April 2021

Improving speaking skills plays an important role for anyone who pursues language proficiency, especially in the English language. While no one can contradict the fundamental value of this productive skill, speaking, as mentioned by Castillo (2007), poses challenges to students since it concerns complex constituents such as pronunciation, stress patterns, vocabulary or grammatical structures. Among countless cooperative strategies, Think-Pair-Share, proposed by Azlina (2010) can be regarded as a stimulating option to support students in improving their speaking capabilities. This study was set out to evaluate applying Think-Pair-Share strategy in the classroom to foster students’ speaking skills and engagement in speaking activities. 35 students in the AP (Advanced Program) at Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration (TUEBA) were chosen as target participants of the study. This research was anchored on a qualitative basis, and data were collected from three methods, including observation sheets, focus group and individual interviews, to ensure the principle of triangulation. Based on the findings, the researcher attempted to provide some modifications in applying the Think-Pair-Share technique so that it can be effectively exploited to give support to language learners in their speaking skills.
