Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: 1) to verify the intervention effects of an informal auditory training program to stimulate auditory abilities for sound localization and sequential memory for verbal and non-verbal sounds, at school environment in a group of preschoolers; 2) to investigate the influence of the gender and age variables on the result of the Simplified Auditory Processing Test (test and retest). Methods: a prospective, analytical and intervention study developed at a Municipal School of Early Childhood Education. Fifty-one preschool children of both genders, aged between 4 and 6 years, participated in this study. To evaluate the intervention effects of the informal auditory training program, pre-and post-intervention procedures were performed, that is: meatoscopy, tympanometry and Simplified Auditory Processing Test. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, by adopting the 5% (0.05) significance level. Results: the comparison of the preschoolers’ performance on the test and retest showed a significant improvement in all auditory abilities assessed. Preschoolers showed a better performance in sound localization ability and a worse performance for sequential memory of nonverbal sounds ability, for both test and retest. Conclusion: in this population, the informal auditory training program showed to be effective and the age variable influenced the result of the Simplified Auditory Processing Test.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association between quality of life, functional capacity and clinical and nutritional status in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: Cross-sectional study, including patients from eight to 18 years old with CF. Quality of life, functional capacity, nutritional status and clinical status were evaluated with the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire; the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and manual gripping force (MGF); the height percentiles for age and body mass index for age and respiratory function test, respectively. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 45 patients, 13.4±0.5 years old, 60% female, 60% colonized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 57.8% with at least one F508del mutation participated in the study. When assessing the perception of quality of life, the weight domain reached the lowest values, and the digestive domain, the highest. In the pulmonary function test, the forced expiratory volume of the first second was 77.3±3.3% and the 6MWT and MGF presented values within the normal range. There was an association between quality of life and functional capacity, nutritional status and clinical status of CF patients. Conclusions: The study participants had good clinical conditions and satisfactory values of functional capacity and quality of life. The findings reinforce that the assessment of quality of life may be important for clinical practice in the management of treatment.

Authors: Silva Cláudia Brandão Gonçalves , Scherer Magda Duarte dos Anjos
Published: June 2020

Sob a égide do movimento de retomada da política de Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS), este estudo deu voz a atores que a promovem, no intuito de compreender os fatores que favoreceram ou dificultaram a sua implementação. Por meio de um grupo focal com 14 informantes-chave, evidenciou-se que o repasse de recursos e os espaços colegiados são elementos que favorecem a implementação da política e precisam ser assegurados. Ao mesmo tempo, o desalinhamento conceitual acerca do que seja EPS e a fragmentação das ações e das áreas que compõem a política são desafios que precisam ser superados. Recolocar a política de Educação Permanente como prioritária na agenda da Educação em Saúde é o fator mais importante e ao mesmo tempo mais desafiador para a sua implementação.

Published: June 2020

Resumo O artigo decorre de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre as pinturas murais do artista plástico Luiz Carlos da Silva, conhecido como Luiz Si, em 21 escolas municipais de Joinville, realizadas durante processo educacional previsto no projeto O Artista na Educação, idealizado e executado pelo próprio artista, entre os anos de 1996 a 2009. As pinturas, de grande porte, destacam-se em seu valor representativo por incluir às paisagens figuras que referenciam a cultura local. Seu valor representativo também diz respeito à ação socioeducativa promovida pelo artista, que objetivava dar acessibilidade às artes para comunidades periféricas. A situação material em que os murais se encontram na atualidade revela questões referentes ao patrimônio cultural e ao entendimento que as comunidades escolares têm sobre o seu valor, os conceitos que os envolvem e sua legitimação. Indicam também a falta de consciência dos indivíduos sociais no que diz respeito aos valores culturais que as manifestações populares representam na construção da cultura local e do país, cuja participação torna-se fundamental na legitimação do bem cultural que revela sua identidade e suas memórias, de acordo com os estudos atuais referentes ao patrimônio cultural. A pesquisa trabalhou com base teórica, levantamento e análise documental, investigação de campo e entrevistas com pessoas envolvidas no projeto do artista.
Compression load tests on bored and barrette piles founded in gravelly sediments
Authors: Lin San-Shyan , Chen Wei-Ning , Chaiyaput Salisa , Lai Chia-Hung
Published: June 2020

Compressive tests on piles socketed in gravelly sediments were conducted. Six bored piles and four barrette piles, with or without base grouting, were studied using back-analysis. A spline function was used to fit the measured data for pile load along the depth. Using the fitted spline function and assuming that behaviour at the pile–soil interface is hyperbolic, back-analysis was used to determine the model parameters by calibrating the design value of β (the product of the coefficient of horizontal soil stress and the value of the tangent of the effective angle of shearing resistance of the soil–shaft interface) and comparing the results of back-analysis and the measured data. The results of this comparison revealed that the results of back-analysis were sensitive to the measured data. A back-calculated β value that is, in general, larger than that found by current methods was obtained.

Assessment of Measures for Tax Regulation of Transfer Pricing from the Standpoint of National Welfare
Authors: Polezharova Liudmila
Published: June 2020

This article is devoted to development of mathematical models for resolving an actual scientific challenge in the field of corporate finance. This involves substantiating taxation policies for the counter-acting tax planning of multinational companies (MNC), and then devising and articulating the appropriate international taxation scheme, as evaluated from the position of national welfare policy. Based on an analysis of existing models of international taxation, and on the peculiarities of the actual mechanism of capital movement tax regulation, new models with equilibrium postulated have been developed.

The primary mechanisms of this research involve the following considerations: (1) examination of an approach targeted at the determination of the final outcomes of international taxation from the perspective of national economies; (2) measures of tax planning on the part of MNCs, and corresponding counter-acting measures to the tax planning applied by governments, are taken as a complex.

Our results indicate that because a government uses rules of controlled transactions, in order to counter-act MNCs’ tax planning, for the government the final outcome from an application of these rules may be negative. This is due to a possibility of MNCs’ development in convenient and offshore jurisdictions. This finding is illustrated by means of an approbation of models with a case study involving a three-tier structure.Further to this point, instead of additional revenues, a government is at a risk of a shrinking tax base and a reduction in budget revenues; and moreover from the perspective of national welfare, the additional loss of revenues and capital of MNCs. Therefore there is a significant importance in forming rules for MNC taxation policies which would focus not on taxes as such, but would focus on trying to keep capital within the territory and/or would facilitate the return of earlier divested income. This could be attempted, for example, by using the secondary adjustment rule in conjunction with a minimum tax on return.

The novelty of this research resides in the specificity of our investigation and the applicability of our conclusions to the practical challenges of international taxation and national revenue policies. The peculiarities of this economic moment and the crucial challenges for national governments in dealing with MNCs and the digital economy underline the significance of this study. Our results expand and develop the existing literature in this ever-crucial area be of immediate use to policymakers, academics and administrators involved in national and international taxation, finance, economics, and analysis.
Writing in Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL): Towards Finding a Balance between Translation Dependency and Creative Writing
Authors: Gabsi Zouhir
Published: June 2020

The main objective of the paper is to assess the effect of Google translation and other software applications on the students’ writing in Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL). Its central hypothesis hinges on the possibility that some students’ errors are attributable to translation mishaps. The research is based on three main areas of enquiry: first; it seeks to establish patterned input when writing in Arabic, such as a semantic transfer from English to Arabic and literal translation. Second, the paper discusses those areas of the Arabic language that challenge the students’ inability to provide a correct TL (Target Language) output on the levels of morpho-syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Third, the paper argues for the importance of teaching the rudiments of translation at the early stages of language learning.  Hence, it proposes solutions and empirical strategies to reducing the students’ reliance on translation by, for instance, educating them about the translation process, and by designing guided writing tasks with rehearsed structures, and without discouraging creativity.
Motivational Factors that Influence English as a Foreign Language Learners at Quality Leadership University, Panama City, Panama
Authors: Jr. Ricardo Roman , Nunez Aixa M.
Published: June 2020

Research in second language acquisition took off in the early 1970s. This study on integrative and instrumental motivation examined the correlation between the two forms in terms of second language acquisition, and the interest it has generated through continued research efforts in language learning. Research to date suggests a possible relationship between motivation and second language learning. The results obtained by this research were determined by two basic types of motivation which play a relevant role in second language acquisition, it also revealed which was the most prevalent motivational factor that influences students in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at Quality Leadership University, Panama. Our objective was to prove that instrumental motivation is more prevalent among students learning English as a Foreign Language in Panama. Although cultural awareness is very much present in the EFL classroom, it too plays a major role with English Language Learners (ELLs). This is a quantitative research study which includes a questionnaire classifying twenty motivational statements into two types of motivation, integrative and instrumental. The study revealed that instrumental motivation was more prevalent among English language learners at Quality Leadership University, Panama. Albiet learning about new cultures has been the driving force with which students approach language learning and students in Panama are not the exception. We can thus conclude that instrumental motivation has been acknowledged as the significant factor by students surveyed and the interest in specific language learning for career advancement, whereas integrative motivation is linked to more general second language acquisition for the benefit of cultural integration.

Published: June 2020

This study sought to investigate the interplay between grammar strategies employed by intermediate EFL learner and their performance on a grammar test. To undertake the study, eighty homogenized intermediate students, comprising 37 males and 29 females, took part in the study. Having been homogenized via quick placement test (QPT), the participants were asked to respond to Oxford’s (1990) grammar learning strategies questionnaire (hereafter, GLSQ). Next, the participants were asked to take a grammar test. The findings revealed a significant relationship among six subscales of GLSs and EFL learners’ performance on the grammar test. In addition, the results indicated a significant difference between male and female students in term of their performance on the grammar test. More precisely, female students outperformed the male counterpart as far as their performance on grammar test was concerned. In addition, the results attested that cognitive strategy and compensation learning strategy were the most and the least strategy types employed by the participants. The findings have pedagogical implication for both English as a foreign or second language.

What can they do?
Grief in exile and the City of God
Authors: Rochester Kathleen
Published: June 2020

There are many points of comparison between Ezekiel, writing in grief over the loss of his beloved Jerusalem and its temple, and Augustine, writing the City of God in grief over the devastation of his beloved Rome. This comparison gives us greater understanding of the heart, context, immediate audience and purpose of each writer. In addition, we discover that many idiosyncratic features of the book of Ezekiel may well be more fitting than we have realized for a grief-stricken community. Ezekiel, like Augustine, is not interested in merely comforting people in grief but in leading them forward, to take their eyes away from an earthly city to a future, eternal divine city.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), viral diseases form serious public health problem. WHO announced that the disease caused by the new virus named coronavirus disease 2019 or Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the virus causing the infection was named SARS-Cov-2 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. Children usually have asymptomatic or mild forms. However, children with comorbidity are in risk of developing severe forms of COVID-19. The review presents modern ideas about the amount of laboratory tests in cases of suspected presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, methods of radio diagnostic (computer tomography, x-ray, thorax ultrasound), features of the clinical course of infection in children depending on the severity of the of infection and indicated detailed criteria for severe forms of coronavirus infection. Special attention is focused on the clinical monitoring of children in a non-core hospital: the detection of leukopenia and lymphopenia, CRP level control, monitoring of coagulation disorders, providing tests on other respiratory viruses. Specific recommendations, comprehensive to date, on the use of drugs for the treatment of children with COVID-19 upon admission to a non-core hospital are given. The organisational issues of treatment children infected with COVID-19 in a non-core hospital are described in details. Special attention is focused on the compliance of strict safety rules by staff working with infected patients entering and leaving the Red zone. Thus, the proper organisation of the units for the treatment of children infected with COVID-19 in a non-core hospital, taking into account the features of their disease, will make it possible to provide complete and high-quality treatment of infection during the pandemic.

Authors: Melashenko Tatyana V. , Fomina Maria Yu.
Published: June 2020

Early diagnosis of hypoxyc encephalopathy contributes to the timely correction of neurofunctional disorders, which reduces mortality and the severity of acute and distant neurological complications of cerebral injurie. The importance of early detection of cerebral disorders in newborns has become especially relevant with the introduction of therapeutic hypothermia in full-term infants with hypoxic encephalopathy. It has been established that with the early onset of therapeutic hypothermia, full-term neurological prognosis in the long-term period, including motor, is observed in full-term newborns. The correspondence between structural disorders and neurophysiological changes in the brain at different age periods is proved. Among the methods for the early diagnosis of cerebral injuries in newborns, the electroencephalogram is one of the leading places. The correspondence between structural disorders and neurophysiological changes in the brain at different age periods is proved. Such characteristics of the electroencephalography method as non-invasiveness, high sensitivity in assessing neurobiological activity, safety, delicacy in maintaining the stability of a critical patient, allows electroencephalography in newborns from the first hours of life. The relevance of the review is associated not only with the scattered information about changes in the electrical activity of the brain in children with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in the neo. Describes the main poor prognostic EEG patterns in the form of a suppression rate (decrease in the amplitude with the maximum manifestation of the oppression of the electrobiological activity in the form of a pattern burst suppression), slowing of the basic rhythm, rarely revealed epileptic, epileptiform activity, focal sharp activity. Such characteristics of the electroencephalography method as non-invasiveness, high sensitivity in assessing neurobiological activity, safety, delicacy in maintaining the stability of a critical patient, allows electroencephalography in newborns from the first hours of life. The relevance of the review is associated not only with the scattered information about changes in the electrical activity of the brain in children with hypoxic-ischemic natal period, but also with the peculiarity of brain electrogenesis during the neonatal period.

Aspirated lipoid pneumonia is a rare lung disease, in which interstitial lesion with chronic respiratory failure is predominantly expressed. In the available literature, this pathology is described in the form of separate observations with an empirical selection of therapeutic measures. The appearance of lipophages in a bronchial aspirate is recognized as a pathognomonic sign of lipoid pneumonia. There is no etiological treatment of the disease. The effectiveness of intensive therapy, according to available sources, depends on the severity of respiratory failure and on the timing of the start of complex bronchodrainage therapy, and theoretically the most attractive is kinesitherapy. Only one observation describes the use of bronchial lavage with sequential separate intubation of the main bronchi. Hormone therapy is considered effective, but the physiological basis for its use is not presented. The published observation is characterized by a late start of treatment due to a long diagnostic search. The applied therapeutic measures are given and described in detail with an assessment of the expected and achieved practical benefits. It was shown that beneficial effects were due to the use of bronchodrainage therapy techniques, including the jet high-frequency artificial ventilation of the lungs. There are doubts about the appropriateness of the use of corticosteroids in this pathology.

Acute poisoning in children is one of the most frequent reasons for seeking medical care and hospitalization in intensive care units, but it is extremely rare in children of the first year of life. On the example of the clinical case, the peculiarities of the course of acute severe methadone poisoning in a two-month-old child against the background of natural feeding are considered. The main data of history and clinical-laboratory examination are reflected, which allowed to suspect acute poisoning in a timely manner and to carry out reasonable intensive therapy, against the background of which the maximum rapid improvement of the child s condition is achieved. The algorithm of differential diagnosis of comatose state in children is presented, which can be used in all cases of sudden suppression of consciousness of unclear genesis. Special attention is paid to the need for maximum early recognition of exogenous poisoning and targeted pathogenetic treatment aimed at elimination of toxicant metabolites. A distinctive feature of this case was the severe course of acute methadone poisoning in the infant with the development of coma and respiratory distress, which regressed against the background of the treatment carried out with the full recovery of the patient.

Published: June 2020

The aim of this research was the synthesis of polymers with the addition of S,S'-thiodi-4,1-phenylene bis(thiomethacrylate) (DMSPS) by bulk polymerization. Styrene (St), divinylbenzene (DVB) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were used for the copolymerization as main monomers. The chemical structures of sulfur-containing polymers were confirmed by the spectroscopic analysis (ATR/FT-IR). In order to determine the impact of the sulfur derivative (DMSPS) addition on thermal properties of the obtained copolymers, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed. The hardness tests of the obtained copolymers were also applied using a Shore durometer.

Two heifers and 1 lactating cow received rations containing 2.7-5.3 g. Na/head/day +or- supplements of about 40 g. Na/head/day. The Na content of the total faeces, faecal juice and urine were lower and K content higher during periods when low Na rations were fed; there was also a small but significant decrease in Na content of milk for the cow fed low Na rations. It was concluded that, in addition to the kidneys, the gut was also important in the Na metabolism of cows on low Na rations. M.P.H. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
