Authors: Gouda Shivana , Bhatt Sonia , Mishra Dilip Kumar , Agrawal Madhu Sudan
Published: August 2019

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the clinical features of vesicoureteral reflux in infants differ from those of older children with regard to the male-to-female ratio and severity of renal parenchymal damage. Aim of the study is to know the profile and pattern of primary vesicoureteral reflux in subjects seeking care at a tertiary care teaching centre of southern India.Methods: This was a hospital based study, conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, Kasturba Medical College located at Manipal during August 2004 - August 2012 over a period of 8 years. All the children in the age group of 1 month to 18 years with Vesicoureteral Reflux, who presented to the study centre during study period, were included in the study.Results: Majority (78.5%) presented before 5 years, youngest age at presentation was 1 month and oldest at 14 year 8 months. Among 93 children studied, 65 were males and 28 were females with male to female ratio of 2.3. The commonest presenting complaint was fever (58%), followed by recurrent Urinary tract infection (UTI) (40.8%), dysuria 32 (34.4%) and reports of documented UTI was available in 23 (24.7%) cases. Four children had hypertension at presentation. Thirteen of them had associated posterior urethral valve. Neurogenic bladder was present in 3 children, 2 had associated Anorectal malformation and one had meningomyelocele.Conclusions: Majority of vesicoureteral reflux cases presented before 5 years of age. There was a preponderance of males. Majority had grade IV and V reflux. The mean age at presentation of vesicoureteral reflux was 3.6 years. The commonest presenting complaint was fever, followed by recurrent UTI.

Published: August 2019

Background: India is facing a grave challenge of having very high rates of child under-nutrition and a high infant and child mortality, which demands an urgent need for comprehensive multi-pronged evidence based strategy to tackle the situation. Breastfeeding offers the ultimate food during the first 6 months of life. Complementary feeding starts when breast milk is no longer sufficient by itself, the target age is between 6-24 months. Complementary feeding plays critical role in bridging these gaps between nutritional requirements and growth and development of child with increasing age. Complementary feeding strategies encompass a wide variety of interventions designed to improve not only the quality and quantity of these foods but also improve the feeding behaviors. In this review we analyzed knowledge and attitude of mother regarding feeding practices among children of 6 months to 2 years of age who had visited tertiary care centre.Methods: Personal interview of mothers having a child in the age group of 6 months to 2 years of age in the duration of October 2017 to March 2018 visiting pediatric department at a tertiary care centre and willing to give information are included in the sample. The Questions regarding socio demographic profile, various occupations, type of feeding practiced, knowledge regarding feeding and complimentary feeding were included in Performa. Data was entered in MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS software.Results: Almost 8 out of 10 mothers were literate in the study (77.80%). About 75% mothers didn’t know the correct type of complimentary feeding to initiate for their babies. Knowledge about correct time of starting complimentary feeding was more commonly found in housewife mothers than the working mothers and findings was supported by statistical significance. Mothers with >=2 children were using correct type of food for complementary feeding more commonly that with mothers having single child.Conclusions: The present study highlighting knowledge gap and practice gap in mothers about complimentary feedings. Appropriate complementary feeding education emphasizing timely initiation and meal diversity is necessary to improve knowledge and feeding practices of mothers whether mother is educated or uneducated.

Authors: Singh Mukul , Kumari Manju
Published: August 2019

Background: Thyroid nodules are commonly present in adult population but are rare in pediatric age group. Inspite of being rare, thyroid nodule have a higher chance of malignancy in children. Thus, pediatric patients presenting with thyroid nodule found clinically or incidentally should be worked up to rule out any possibility of malignancy. The besthesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology (TBSRTC) is widely used for reporting in adults. The present study aims to use TBSRTC for pediatric thyroid lesions reporting.Methods: All pediatric patients with age ≤ 18 years presenting with thyroid nodule during January 2018 to April 2019 were included in the study, fine needle aspiration (FNA) was done and findings were compared with histology. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 18.Results: 42 pediatric patient were included in the study, out of which 2.38% were malignant and suspicious for nmalignant each and 83% were benign.Conclusion: TBSRTC is quite sensitive and specific reporting guideline in pediatric population as in adult population with 100% accuracy in diagnosing benign and malignant cases. This is useful for avoiding unnecessary surgeries.

Authors: Badabagni Raghava , Bodduluri Rambabu , Raju P. V. Prudhvi
Published: August 2019

Vitamin D-dependent type II rickets (VDDRII) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, leading to end-organ resistance to 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3. It presents with refractory rickets and growth retardation presenting in the first year of life. It is frequently associated with alopecia totalis. Due to target organresistance, its response to vitamin D is poor. The recommended treatment is giving supra physiological dose of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 and a high dose of oral or intravenous calcium. The response of alopecia to treatment is generally poor. We present a 3 ½ year-old male child with VDDR II whose alopecia and rickets partially responded to 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3.
Clinical presentation of vernal keratoconjunctivitis in an immunocompromised patient: a case report
Authors: Minhas Shailender , Tuli Rajeev , Sharma Gaurav
Published: August 2019

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic bilateral inflammation of the conjunctiva, commonly associated with a personal or family history of atopy. It is characterized by severe itching, foreign body sensation, thick ropy discharge, photophobia and conjunctival injection. VKC has palpebral, limbal and mixed forms. The classical conjunctival sign in palpebral VKC is the presence of giant papillae, which are predominantly seen on the superior tarsal conjunctiva. The limbal form occurs in dark skinned individuals and the papillae tend to occur at the limbus and have a thick gelatinous appearance. Clinical findings and laboratory investigations support the presence of IgE mediated type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. Involvement of CD4 T helper (Th2) driven type IV hypersensitivity has also been confirmed. There has been an increase in the prevalence of allergic disorders in recent years and exaggerated manifestations of these diseases have been recognized in patients living with Human immunodeficiency virus.
Incompatible foods: an important concept to understand to prevent auto-immune disorders
Authors: Bali Sharadendu , Utaal Maneshwar Singh
Published: August 2019

The emerging field of trophology deals primarily with suitable food combinations and also a few unsuitable food combinations. The science is still in its nascent state and a few things have emerged in terms of which foods should, or should not, be eaten together. But the ancient texts of Indian Medicine are replete with such examples. What’s interesting is that there is a huge theoretical basis behind the concept of Incompatible foods. The science is rooted in the Ayurvedic concept of six tastes and the physiological basis of homeostasis-the doshas, which roughly correspond to the humours as propounded by the Greek philosopher Hippocrates. Inter cultural exchange in modern times of rapid transit has resulted in mixing up of foods and dishes in a haphazard manner, led by gustatory and aesthetic factors rather than immunological ones. This has led to explosion of so-called auto immune and metabolic diseases, because the immunological basis of incompatible food combinations has hardly begun to be researched.
O PROFESSOR DA LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA E O PROCESSO DE LETRAMENTO: O CASO DA GUINÉ BISSAU
Authors: Mutaro Embaló Mamadu , Camargo da Silva Veronice , Lopes Sant’ Anna Sita Mara
Published: August 2019

Este estudo apresenta investigação, visando saber como as atividades de leitura trabalhadas na sala de aula por professores da Língua Portuguesa das escolas pesquisadas na Guiné Bissau, promovem o letramento e justifica-se pela importância de assumir o letramento como objetivo no contexto escolar, adotando, na alfabetização, uma concepção social da leitura e escrita. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que, de acordo com os objetivos, abrangeu as etapas exploratória e descritiva, cujos dados, com base na pesquisa semiestruturada, foram coletados, através de um questionário on-line, contendo uma parte fechada e outra, aberta. Como principais resultados, constata-se que, apesar de os professores utilizarem diferentes estratégias de leitura e, também, pautarem-se pela concepção de leitura com foco no leitor, as atividades de leitura trabalhadas nas suas aulas promovem o modelo de letramento autônomo que enfatiza a aquisição e uso de escrita como habilidade, independentemente, do contexto social, em detrimento do modelo de letramento ideológico que enfatiza práticas sociais concretas de leitura e escrita.
A emergência da mídia nas conversas e produções infantis sobre livros literários
Authors: SILVEIRA ROSA MARIA HESSEL , Barbosa Liége Freitas
Published: August 2019

O artigo parte de referências às discussões em torno da relação entre mídia e infância, enfatizando a existência atual de uma infância midiatizada. Considerando tal cenário, seu objetivo é analisar referências midiáticas - falas, desenhos e registros escritos que envolvem a mídia, compreendendo tanto as menções às “velhas mídias”, isto é, os meios tradicionais de comunicação (TV, rádio, impresso) quanto as menções às “novas mídias” (internet, jogos digitais etc.). As referências foram capturadas no desenrolar de uma pesquisa sobre leitura de livros literários, realizada através de sessões de leitura partilhada e discussão conjunta de livros previamente escolhidos com duas turmas de 4º e 5º ano de escolas públicas de Porto Alegre. A pesquisa da qual os dados são coletados não tem como objetivo a exploração da mídia, mas enfatiza a relação entre as leituras e as experiências pessoais das crianças. Como resultado não previsto, nas discussões e trabalhos (desenhos do cotidiano) motivados pela leitura de “O pato, a morte e a tulipa”, de Wolf Erbruch, e “A caminho de casa”, de Jairo Buitrago, emergiram referências variadas à presença da TV, de filmes, de celulares e videogames na vida das crianças, mesmo se levando em conta que a maioria delas não pertence a classes economicamente favorecidas. Lançamos mão de aportes teóricos de Sibilia (2012), Girardello e Orofino (2008), Fantin (2009), entre outros, para compreender a emergência de uma criança conectada tanto às velhas quanto às novas mídias, e concluímos que, se a produtividade da leitura literária está relacionada à necessária conexão entre texto e experiência do leitor, as vivências trazidas pela mídia integram de maneira radical os atos de leitura das crianças contemporâneas.

Published: August 2019

O direito ao meio ambiente equilibrado é tutelado pela Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil, de 1988 e reverbera em diversas áreas do Direito, dentre elas o Direito do Trabalho. Muito embora tutelado, esse direito é constantemente violado quando se permite a sujeição do trabalhador à riscos para sua segurança e integridade física e mental. Em tempos de mudanças nas relações dotrabalho e emprego engendradaspela chamada quarta revolução industrial, a proteção da integridade física-mental dos trabalhadores deve prevalecer, fortalecendo a fiscalização do cumprimento das normas, regras e princípios que permeiam o meio ambiente do trabalho.

CORRELATION BETWEEN EFL STUDENTS’ PERCEIVED LINGUISTIC PROFICIENCY AND THEIR LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE IN USING ENGLISH
Authors: Amro Mohammad Suleiman Mohammad , Maniam Mahendran
Published: August 2019

The main aim of this study is to find out the correlation between EFL students’ perceived linguistic proficiency and their level of confidence in using English. To achieve that, sixty first year students at the faculty of English language and literature, Ajloun University in Jordan, were selected based on convenience sampling. The subjects were asked to self-assess their linguistic proficiency using five-point Likert scale and to respond to the survey questionnaire. To test the statistical associations between the two variables, ANOVA was used to confirm if there were any statistically significant differences in self- assessment scores among the groups of students having different levels of confidence. To confirm where the differences lie, Post Hoc tests (Turkey HSD and Homogeneous Subsets) were used. NOVA gives an F value of 44.131 with 2 and 57 degrees of freedom (p < 0.01), showing that there are differences in self-assessment means among groups. The multiple comparisons among mean differences by the Post Hoc tests (Turkey HSD and Fisher’s LSD) show that the group of students who are 'hardly confident' are significantly different from the other two groups of students. The group of students who are 'a little confident' are significantly different from 'hardly confident' students and 'confident' students. Finally, the group of students who are 'confident' differ significantly from the two groups of students who are 'hardly confident' and ‘a little confident’. Therefore, all groups differ from one another. The results of the Kendall's tau-b and Spearman's rho indicate that there is a statistically significant correlation between the students' confidence level and the means of self-assessment scores. In conclusion, the subjects having high self-assessment scores are more likely to have high confidence in using English and vice versa.

Ambiências noturnas carregam consigo associações comuns e globais com o escuro e o vazio, que possibilitam o afloramento de sentimentos como o medo, uma das grandes preocupações urbanas que afligem planejadores e projetistas desde o início da história das cidades. No entanto, apesar do assunto ser geralmente levantado em função de seus aspectos objetivos, como índices de segurança ou até mesmo iluminação, este artigo, que traz como tema o medo do Outro (espaço ou indivíduo) em ambiências noturnas, se pauta na subjetividade, que permite uma compreensão mais holística das ambiências e dos processos entre sujeito e espaço a elas vinculados. Assim, buscando-se analisar os aspectos subjetivos que relacionam os sujeitos, o medo e a cidade noturna, propõe-se como metodologia a Etnotopografia (tipo de etnografia onde o suporte da análise de grupos socioculturais se dá través do espaço em si). As conclusões evidenciam que está nas relações de alteridade a questão chave da presente temática e que é o contato aproximado com o Outro que minimiza o sentimento de medo na cidade à noite.

Preprint: Data from a Systematic Review of Crowdsourcing of Research Data from Wildlife Tourism Photographs and Comments Shared on Social Networking Sites
Authors: Simpson Greg D , Walker Obelia
Published: August 2019

This data descriptor summarizes the process applied and data gathered from 50 publications/papers reporting on the use of photography generated by tourists, tour operators and members of the public, with a particular focus on the crowdsourcing of photographs through online platforms and social networking sites (SNSs) as a method of research for wildlife conservation and ecotourism. The papers were collected in a systematic literature review to inform a pilot study of the feasibility of using SNSs to crowdsource georeferenced photographs of endangered Bornean Pygmy Elephants (Elephas maximus borneensis) taken by ecotourists along the Lower Kinabatangan River region of Sabah, Malaysia. Papers were sourced using the Murdoch University Findit online-search tool to search over 100 databases, including Proquest, Scopus and Web of Science. The criteria for a paper to be included in the review (and shared via the dataset attached to this this data descriptor) were that it was peer-reviewed, published in English, between 1997 and the 31 December 2017, had the full text accessible online and reported on a study or studies that utilized photographs that tourists, tour operators and/or members of the public generated and shared via SNSs or online platforms.
Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles
Authors: Knuth Kevin H. , Powell Robert M. , Reali Peter A.
Published: August 2019

A number of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) encountered by military, commercial, and civilian aircraft have been reported to be structured craft that exhibit 'impossible' flight characteristics. We consider a handful of well-documented encounters, including the 2004 encounters with the Nimitz Carrier Group off the coast of California, and estimate lower bounds on the accelerations exhibited by the craft during the observed maneuvers. Estimated accelerations range from almost 100g to 1000s of g's with no observed air disturbance, no sonic booms, and no evidence of excessive heat commensurate with even the minimal estimated energies. In accordance with observations, the estimated parameters describing the behavior of these craft are both anomalous and surprising. The extreme estimated flight characteristics reveal that these observations are either fabricated or seriously in error, or that these craft exhibit technology far more advanced than any known craft on Earth. In many cases, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in the encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the craft favor the latter hypothesis that these are indeed technologically advanced craft. The observed flight characteristics of these craft are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel. That is, if these observed accelerations were sustainable in space, then these craft could easily reach relativistic speeds within a matter of minutes to hours and cover interstellar distances in a matter of days to weeks, proper time.

Conservatively, there are approximately about two million persons in Nigeria who may be referred to as persons with intellectual disabilities. These persons suffer from several challenges ranging from economic to non-inclusion in the society. In the paper, the discussion focuses on persons with intellectual disabilities and the effective access to justice as a fundamental right. The paper finds that even though Nigeria has adopted and ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Federal Government of Nigeria has not been proactive in supporting the persons with disabilities in the country to enjoy these rights. Furthermore, despite the provision in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to ensure freedom from discrimination, there is no direct effect on procedure to ensure that the rights of the disabled persons are protected. The paper proposes for a framework for the protection of the person with intellectual disability which includes legal protection, legal awareness, legal aid, adjudication and for civil society oversight of the access of persons with intellectual disabilities to justice.

Background

This study investigated the relationship between smoking and hearing loss and deafness (HLD) and whether the relationship is modified by genetic variation. Data for these analyses was from the subset of Japanese American families collected as part of the American Diabetes Association Genetics of Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus study. Logistic regression with generalized estimating equations assessed the relationship between HLD and smoking. Nonparametric linkage analysis identified genetic regions harboring HLD susceptibility genes and ordered subset analysis was used to identify regions showing evidence for gene-smoking interactions. Genetic variants within these candidate regions were then each tested for interaction with smoking using logistic regression models.Results

After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes status and smoking duration, for each pack of cigarettes smoked per day, risk of HLD increased 4.58 times (OR=4.58 (1.40,15.03)), and ever smokers were over 5 times more likely than nonsmokers to report HLD (OR=5.22 (1.24, 22.03)). Suggestive evidence for linkage for HLD was observed in multiple genomic regions (Chromosomes 5p15, 8p23 and 17q21), and additional suggestive regions were identified when considering interactions with smoking status (Chromosomes 7p21, 11q23, 12q32, 15q26, and 20q13) and packs-per-day (Chromosome 8q21).Conclusions

To our knowledge this was the first report of possible gene-by-smoking interactions in HLD using family data. Additional work, including independent replication, is needed to understand the basis of these findings. HLD are important public health issues and understanding the contributions of genetic and environmental factors may inform public health messages and policies.

Published: August 2019

Identification of genes for tolerance against phosphorus (P) deficiency is important for wheat production in P-deficient soils. Nine root system architecture (RSA) and root biomass-related traits (RBT) in 198 double haploid lines derived from cross between Yangmai 16/Zhongmai 895 were characterized under zero (control), low, and high P treatments (KH2PO4 contents: 0, 0.005, 0.25 mmol/L, respectively) in hydroponic culture, and the DH lines and parents were genotyped using Wheat 660K SNP array. All traits showed significant variations among the DH lines with high heritabilities (0.76 to 0.91) and high correlations (r =0.59 to 0.98) with each other. Inclusive composite interval mapping using 10,242 markers identified 34 QTLs for all traits in the three P treatments. Of these, 11 QTLs under low P condition on chromosomes 2BL, 4BS (2 QTLs), 4DS (2), 6BL (2), 7AL (2), and 7BL (2) for root length (RL), root tip number (RTN) and ratio of root to shoot dry weight (RRS) explained 4.6 - 20.4% of the phenotypic variances. QRRS.caas-4DS (16.64 - 30.66 Mb) was detected in all three P treatments and accounted for 8.4 to 20.4% of the phenotypic variances. Seven QTLs clusters (C1 to C7) were mapped on chromosomes 3DL, 4BS, 4DS, 6BL, 7AS, 7AL and 7BL, of which five (C3 to C7) were detected under low P condition. Cluster C5 on chromosome 7AS (AX-109955164 - AX-109445593) played the key role in modulating RL, RTN and ROSA, with the favorable allele coming from Zhongmai 895. SNPs closely linked to QTLs and clusters could be used for improving root nutrient-use efficiency traits in future breeding.

Background: Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druceis a well-known traditional Chinese herb. Polysaccharide is one of the main bioactive components from Polygonatum odoratum, with broad pharmacological effects, including improving immunity, and is used in the treatment of rheumatic heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Results: This study identifies potential genes and transcription factors (TFs) that regulate polysaccharide synthesis in Polygonatum odoratum by using RNA sequencing data from leaf, stem and rhizome tissues. A total of 112,443 unigenes were de novo assembled, and 76,714 were annotated in public databases. Differentially expressed gene analysis showed that most upregulated and uniquely expressed unigenes were enriched in rhizome tissue compared with leaf or stem tissue. UV-spectrophotometry results showed that polysaccharide content was the greatest in the rhizome tissue. Additionally, 2,865 unigenes relevant to TF families were predicted, including 73 involved in polysaccharide synthesis. A few key enzyme genes were also verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Seven β-fructofuranosidases with different amino acid sequences showed similar spatial structures and all had well-conserved catalytic triads.

Conclusion: This study substantially enlarges the public transcriptome datasets of this species, and provides insight into the detection of novel genes involed polysaccharide and other secondary metabolite synthesis.

Background

DNA binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factors play important roles in plant growth and abiotic stress responses. Although genome-wide identification and analysis of the DOF transcription factor family has been reported in other species, no relevant studies have emerged in wheat. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolutionary and functional characteristics associated with plant growth and abiotic stress responses by genome-wide analysis of the wheat Dof transcription factor gene family.

Results

Using the recently released wheat genome database (IWGSC RefSeq v1.1), we identified 96 wheat Dof gene family members, which were phylogenetically clustered into five distinct subfamilies. Members of the same gene subfamily had similar exon-intron structures, while members of different subfamilies had obvious differences. Functional divergence analysis indicated that type-II functional divergence played a major role in the differentiation of the TaDof gene family. Positive selection analysis revealed that the Dof gene family experienced different degrees of positive selection pressure during the process of evolution, and five significant positive selection sites (30A, 31T, 33A, 102G and 104S) were identified. Additionally, nine groups of coevolving amino acid sites, which may play a key role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of Dof proteins, were identified. The results from the RNA-seq data and RT-qPCR analysis revealed that TaDof genes exhibited obvious expression preference or specificity in different organs and developmental stages, as well as in diverse abiotic stress responses. Most TaDof genes were significantly upregulated by heat, PEG and heavy metal stresses.

Conclusions

The genome-wide analysis and identification of wheat DOF transcription factor family and the discovery of important amino acid sites are expected to provide new insights into the structure, evolution and function of the plant Dof gene family.
