LOGICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ESSENCE OF ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF BIOLOGY
Authors: Sovhira Svitlana
Published: August 2022

The article presents a logical and methodological analysis of the essence of environmental education of future biology teachers. The influence of environmental factors on all spheres of human activity: production and politics, economics and energy, urban planning and development of new technologies, health care and education, and the formation of basic worldviews of modern man. The concept of “worldview”, in particular the biosphere or ecocentric, and “world”. The global functions of the education system are highlighted: neohumanist (orientation of the educational process on the survival and continuation of human development, care for future generations) and ecological (aimed at preserving the biosphere and nature as a whole (Earth and Space), providing favorable environmental conditions). Specific aspects of environmental education are identified. Approaches to solving problems of environmental education in theory and practice are revealed: socio-philosophical, personal-activity, individual-creative, professional, culturological, biological, socio-pedagogical, and systemic. Accordingly, the most important problems of environmental education and its significant shortcomings were identified. A regional program of continuing environmental education has been developed, in which the regional nature of the content of environmental education is preferred, and its three most important components have been identified: natural science, value-normative, and activity. A systematic description of the goals and objectives of environmental education is given, the principles of its construction (scientific, predictive, interconnected disclosure of global, regional and local aspects of ecology, integration, continuity, and system) are identified, leading ideas are identified, and models of environmental education at school are developed. Concepts of real realization of ecological education at all its stages are developed, as well as the conceptual provisions of development of ecological education.

Keywords: logical and methodological analysis; essence; ecological conditions; worldview; world; biosphere; ecocentric; ecological education; future biology teachers.

Published: August 2022

W artykule recenzyjnym autorka czyta monografię Alicji Fidowicz Niepełnospraw­ność w polskiej literaturze XX i XXI wieku dla dzieci i młodzieży (2020) w kontekście dyskursu maladycznego. Sproblematyzowanie narracji o niepełnosprawności przy użyciu przedkładanej teorii pozwala wykazać, w jaki sposób zastosowanie przez Fidowicz aparatu krytycznego disability studies w badaniach nad literaturą dzie­cięcą i młodzieżową wyznacza nowe kierunki interpretacji tekstów adresowanych do młodego czytelnika. Zdaniem autorki artykułu, Fidowicz nie tylko demaskuje „(nie)sprawiedliwość epistemiczną” obecną w dyskursie naukowym oraz w polskiej literaturze osobnej, lecz także proponuje projekt nowej panoramy historii literatu­ry dziecięcej, której periodyzację wyznacza perspektywa disability studies.

Zie mij, niet mijn stoornis: Een orthopedagogisch leefklimaat voor jongeren met ADHD en PDD-NOS in de 24-uurs zorg
Authors: Bruininks Aniet , Harmsen Leo
Published: August 2022

Welke rol kunnen professionals vervullen in het slagen van de behandeling van jongeren die vanwege hun stoornis, ADHD en PDD-NOS, op een gegeven moment zijn aangemeld voor een behandeling in een residentiële instelling? De geplaatste jongeren hebben door hun stoornis veelal negatieve ervaringen in het verleden opgedaan. Ze zijn vaak niet begrepen of botsten keer op keer op hun eigen tekortkomingen. Het lijkt er soms sterk op dat ze langzaam het gevoel hebben gekregen dat ze uit een stoornis bestaan. De ontwikkelde 'Zie-mij-methodiek', die in dit boek centraal staat, richt zich dan ook expliciet op de stoornis en het omgaan daarmee met als doel het versterken van het zelfvertrouwen van de jongeren. Met concrete voorbeelden uit het dagelijkse leven van de jongeren wordt de lezer meegenomen in hoe pedagogisch medewerkers in en rondom de leefgroep(en) de jongeren proberen te leren omgaan met hun stoornis. Door op hun eigen ervaringen te reflecteren leren de jongeren hun gedragsproblemen herkennen, erkennen en verkennen die voortkomen uit hun stoornis en doen zij vaardigheden op om in toekomstige situaties adequaat hiermee om te gaan. Het boek maakt zichtbaar dat een specifiek gecreëerd orthopedagogisch leefklimaat in een residentiële groep bijdraagt aan een uiteindelijke resultaat van een behandeling. Behandeling kan niet effectief zijn als een veilig en stabiel leefklimaat die aansluit bij de doelgroep als basisvoorwaarde ontbreekt. Niet alleen de pedagogisch medewerker als persoon is hierbij bepalend, ook het gehele team die gezamenlijk een methodiek toepast is hierbij cruciaal. Aandacht voor dit deel van het werk vergroot de professionaliteit van pedagogisch medewerkers en draagt bij aan de kwaliteit van zorg. Dit boek is bedoeld voor leefgroepteams die werken met jongeren met ADHD en PDD-NOS en andere professionals die al dan niet te maken hebben met deze doelgroep. Voor studenten SPW, SPH en Pedagogiek geeft het boek inzicht in wat leefgroepwerk in kan houden en hoe een orthopedagogisch leefklimaat voor elke willekeurige doelgroep vormgegeven kan worden. Voor ouders c.q. verzorgers biedt het boek herkenning en mogelijk handvatten in de opvoeding van hun kind. Voor disciplines zoals orthopedagogen, Gz-psychologen, leerkrachten, therapeuten, psychiaters, onderzoekers, enzovoorts kan het boek informatie opleveren die wellicht bruikbaar is in hun praktijk.

Published: August 2022

Many studies have proven that the function of educational institutions is not only to produce intellectual generations, but also to become a place to instill good values in the form of morals in order to answer the needs of society about their children's education to counteract the various influences of today's changes. This paper will try to describe the culture of character building and religious morals in the school environment. To answer the purpose of this study, the writer tries to review various literature related to education, especially the formation of religious moral character in the environment. The data collection process begins with data search, continues with analysis, evaluates and organizes the data into information that is ready to be compiled into a draft before being reviewed to see the suitability of the theme of this study based on the validity and reliability of the findings. The results of this review are efforts that can be made by an educational institution, including by building and shaping a religious culture in schools. The strategy for the formation of religious culture in schools can be done through a power strategy, persuasive strategy, and normative re-educative with exemplary approaches, habituation, reward and punishment and persuasive approaches. With this we can conclude that the religious culture developed in schools is an effort to form school members who have al-Karimah morals as the goal of national education, namely developing the potential of students to have religious spiritual strength and noble morals.

Published: August 2022

The low independence of Islamic boarding school graduates in the field of skills is still visible today, because the planning, implementation and supervision of Islamic boarding school character education has not been maximized in increasing the independence of students. The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of planning, implementation, monitoring, inhibiting factors, and efforts to overcome obstacles. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results showed that: : 1) Planning has been carried out according to the theory through curriculum and programs according to the pesantren model, but has not been supported by policies on developing skills programs and infrastructure resources. 2) The implementation has been carried out according to the theory through socialization, coordination and motivation, but it has not been maximal in shaping the character of the independence of students because of the lack of support for HR competencies. 3) Supervision has been carried out according to the theory through direct observation and assessment, but has not been maximized because it is still focused on the core program. 4) Inhibiting factors include the lack of core program learning facilities and skilled professionals. 5) Efforts to overcome obstacles through approaches, sanctions, expand alumni collaboration, and fundraising. Management of character education in increasing the independence of students in Islamic boarding schools in Cirebon Regency has been carried out according to management theory through the stages of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising according to the curriculum and programs developed, but has not been maximized in forming students' independence due to policy and resource constraints

Published: August 2022

The kiai's activities give rise to diverse views among the people. Several factors are behind the differences in views, including the leadership factor. One of the reasons for this gap between the kiai is the lack of awareness of the kiai in administrative matters in the organization, so that a new breakthrough is needed for the kiai, namely by making efforts to empower the people. This research is a qualitative research, a research that aims to reveal an event, phenomenon, activity, and perception of others in a certain social context. Socio-anthropological approach. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the kiai's leadership is based on social aspects including the legal-formal leadership model, namely the form of policy must be in accordance with organizational mechanisms including administrative order. Religiously, the leadership of KH. Nurdin Alhusainy as a charismatic leader, encourages other kiai to master various types of disciplines so that they can be implemented in the current context. Second, in the aspect of empowering the people, socially advocating for the people regarding civilized social concepts and actions to criticize the rulers who are not in favor of the people. In addition, in the field of religion, encourage other kiai who are affiliated with religious organizations to open themselves in dealing with religious issues on social media scientifically, not in unwise and hateful ways.

Published: August 2022

This article deals with the set of issues related to economic - currency-financial relations with abroad. To this end, we first presented the general concepts of this process including foreign exchange policy, the foreign exchange market accompanied by the exchange rate. For the practical work of the financial manager of the enterprise of particular importance are the transfers of funds through correspondent banks. That is why we considered it opportune for the financial manager to know the movement of funds in the process of import-export of goods. In this case, it is necessary to understand such financial categories as: the ,,nostro" account, the ,,vostro" account, spot transactions (,,spot"), forward operations, documentary credit, documentary collection, etc. International currency-financial relations are presented as a complex process.
Between Synchrony and Diachrony: The Multimodal Nature of Phonaesthemes
Authors: Pozza Marianna , Civale Sara
Published: August 2022

Knowledge about phonaesthesia has particularly been deepened since 1930 until now. Starting from John Wallis’ first thoughts on the subject in 1653 via the contributions from John Rupert Firth’s post-1930s’ studies, the phenomenon has seen a growing interest as the result of the consolidated – but still to some extent arbitrary – interactions between meaning and sound over time. This paper focuses on some relevant issues in the field of diachronic linguistics, especially in connection with etymological reconstruction, to evaluate phenomena that, in a certain sense, appear to be correlated with the idea of a posteriori re-motivation by the speaker, investigating phonaesthemes’ conceptual organization around some meaningful morpho-phonological clusters derived from Proto Indo-European, always connected with analogical associations. It also reasons about the stability of the root itself, due to fundamental characteristics of human cognition and broader social contexts in which language is used. Besides diachrony, the psycholinguistic relevance of phonaesthemic clusters is synchronically highlighted both in productivity – especially within the Germanic branch, English above all – and in comprehension processes, because their faciliatory priming effect seems to guide the speaker towards a better experience of understanding and to ease the progressive and natural addition of patterned neologisms after an existing word, in order to make them compatible with the original sets. The purpose of this contribution is to offer a general overview of the issue, trying, at the same time, to show how the phenomenon of phonaesthesia can also be read in the interaction between synchrony and diachrony, even if synchrony, for obvious reasons, remains the privileged investigation filter.

Authors: Patel Jitendra Kumar , Madnani Kirti , Pradhan Madhurima
Published: August 2022

Lack of information about heath conditions, lack of control over disease and uncertainty about the future trend of any disease are the essential sources for stress. During the period of corona virus pandemic everyone, irrespective of age, socio- economic status and gender faces a state of uncertainty, over load of information, panic and often find the situation out of control. The experience of stress depends on a person’s coping abilities and life style practices. Yoga and meditation may be important tools in this current pandemic scenario, helping to manage stress and promote self- regulation. The Objective is to explore the difference in positive and negative symptoms of stress among people practicing yoga and meditation in different degree during COVID-19 pandemic. Incidental sampling technique was used to collect data. The survey was conducted on 102 participants. Only 95 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The questions to be asked for survey were prepared with the help of experts from Psychology, Medicine and yoga experts. Survey design was used. For analyzing the data descriptive statistics, frequency table and bar graph were used. The participants were divided into four groups practicing Yoga/Meditation always (Group I, n= 22), often (Group II, n=18), sometime (Group III, n=32) and never (Group IV, n=23). Result reveals that respondent of group I, group II and group III who always, often or sometimes practiced yoga/ meditation had better quality of life, sufficient sleep, control of anger, and experience of happiness, peace of mind and concentration of mind as compared to group IV who never practiced yoga/meditation.
Binding propensity and selectivity of cationic, anionic, and neutral guests with model hydrophobic hosts: A first principles study
Authors: Kumar Yenamareddy Bhargav , Pandey Anwesh , Kumar Nandan , Sastry G. Narahari
Published: August 2022

Computations play a critical role in deciphering the nature of host–guest interactions both at qualitative and quantitative levels. Reliable quantum chemical computations were employed to assess the nature, binding strength, and selectivity of ionic, and neutral guests with benzenoid hosts. Optimized complex structures reveal that alkali and ammonium ions are found to be in the hydrophobic cavity, while halide ions are outside, while both complexes elicit substantial binding energy. The origin of the selectivity of host toward the guest has been traced to the interaction and deformation energies, and the nature of associated interactions is quantified using energy decomposition and the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules analyses. While the larger hosts lead to loosely bound complexes, as assessed by the longer intermolecular distances, the binding strengths are proportional to the size of the host systems. The binding of cationic complexes is electrostatic or polarization driven while exchange term dominates the anionic complexes. In contrast, dispersion contribution is a key in neutral complexes and plays a pivotal role in stabilizing the polyatomic complexes.
New insights in osteoarthritis diagnosis and treatment: Nano‐strategies for an improved disease management
Authors: Paesa Monica , Alejo Teresa , Garcia‐Alvarez Felicito , Arruebo Manuel , Mendoza Gracia
Published: August 2022

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint pathology that has become a predominant cause of disability worldwide. Even though the origin and evolution of OA rely on different factors that are not yet elucidated nor understood, the development of novel strategies to treat OA has emerged in the last years. Cartilage degradation is the main hallmark of the pathology though alterations in bone and synovial inflammation, among other comorbidities, are also involved during OA progression. From a molecular point of view, a vast amount of signaling pathways are implicated in the progression of the disease, opening up a wide plethora of targets to attenuate or even halt OA. The main purpose of this review is to shed light on the recent strategies published based on nanotechnology for the early diagnosis of the disease as well as the most promising nano‐enabling therapeutic approaches validated in preclinical models. To address the clinical issue, the key pathways involved in OA initiation and progression are described as the main potential targets for OA prevention and early treatment. Furthermore, an overview of current therapeutic strategies is depicted. Finally, to solve the drawbacks of current treatments, nanobiomedicine has shown demonstrated benefits when using drug delivery systems compared with the administration of the equivalent doses of the free drugs and the potential of disease‐modifying OA drugs when using nanosystems. We anticipate that the development of smart and specific bioresponsive and biocompatible nanosystems will provide a solid and promising basis for effective OA early diagnosis and treatment.

LHC signatures of τ-flavoured vector leptoquarks
Authors: Bernigaud Jordan , Blanke Monika , de Medeiros Varzielas Ivo , Talbert Jim , Zurita José
Published: August 2022

Abstract

We consider the phenomenological signatures of Simplified Models of Flavourful Leptoquarks, whose Beyond-the-Standard Model (SM) couplings to fermion generations occur via textures that are well motivated from a broad class of ultraviolet flavour models (which we briefly review). We place particular emphasis on the study of the vector leptoquark ∆μ with assignments (3,1, 2/3) under the SM’s gauge symmetry, SU(3)C× SU(2)L× U(1)Y, which has the tantalising possibility of explaining both $$ {\mathcal{R}}_{K^{\left(\ast \right)}} $$

anomalies. Upon performing global likelihood scans of the leptoquark’s coupling parameter space, focusing in particular on models with tree-level couplings to a single charged lepton species, we then provide confidence intervals and benchmark points preferred by low (er)-energy flavour data. Finally, we use these constraints to further evaluate the (promising) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detection prospects of pairs of τ-flavoured ∆μ, through their distinct (a)symmetric decay channels. Namely, we consider direct third-generation leptoquark and jets plus missing-energy searches at the LHC, which we find to be complementary. Depending on the simplified model under consideration, the direct searches constrain the ∆μ mass up to 1500-1770 GeV when the branching fraction of ∆μ is entirely to third-generation quarks (but are significantly reduced with decreased branching ratios to the third generation), whereas the missing-energy searches constrain the mass up to 1150-1700 GeV while being largely insensitive to the third-generation branching fraction.
Bluntness and incidence effects in hypersonic flows with large separated regions
Authors: Khraibut A. , Gai S.L.
Published: August 2022

This paper describes a numerical investigation on the effects of small to large bluntness as well as the angle of incidence on the leading-edge separation in a laminar hypersonic flow. The results show that both bluntness and incidence strongly influence separation characteristics. A combined bluntness and incidence parameter is proposed and applied to plateau pressures in the separated region and is shown to demarcate effects of small and large bluntness at different angles of incidence. The investigation also showed profound changes in the internal structure of the separation bubble with changes in incidence and bluntness. The significance of the relationship between the two shear stress minima and the separation length is highlighted.
The Rise of Islamic Society: Social Change, State Power, and Historical Imagination
Authors: Rock-Singer Aaron
Published: August 2022

This article explores the history of “Islamic Society” (al-Mujtamaʿ al-Islāmī), a concept whose widespread usage is paralleled by shallow understandings of its origins. Scholars of premodern Islamic history often use this term to describe the ideas and practices of Muslim communities under Islamic political rule, while historians of the Muslim Brotherhood highlight this leading Islamist movement’s commitment to forming such a collective yet treat the concept assui generis. This article, in turn, draws on a wide array of Islamic print media published by leading Islamic movements and state institutions in Egypt between 1898 and 1981 to tell a story of how this concept became intellectually viable and politically meaningful in the context of transition from colonial to postcolonial rule in the mid-twentieth century. Building on histories of religious nationalism which trace how religious nationalist visions produce novel understandings of religious identity rather than replicating prior models, the article explores the ways in which identity is linked to particular projects of religious practice. In doing so, it casts light on how religious nationalist projects seek to structure social life through calls to continuity with the past even as they adopt the core assumptions of the nation-state project. Specifically, it argues that, as Muslim thinkers, activists, and scholars navigated the transition from colonial to postcolonial rule, they turned to this concept to articulate dueling conceptions of religious change through state power and social mobilization alike.
Kant's Radicalization of Cartesian Foundationalism: Thought Experiments, Transcendental Arguments, and Level Circularity in the Paralogisms
Authors: Miles Murray
Published: August 2022

Kant's critique of rational psychology is a thought experiment that targets no individual or school, but rather the natural tendency of human reason to “hypostatize” the highest intellectual condition of all cognition (the pure ‘I think’) as though it were itself a cognition of the ‘I.’ To do so is to violate the very anti-circularity stricture also at work in Kant's better-known transcendental critiques of Locke and Hume. Along with a new type of circularity (level circularity), this article proposes a conception of transcendental arguments different from that of most contemporary debates regarding empiricism, naturalism, and Cartesian foundationalism.
Desmoid tumour of the external ear and mastoid following middle-ear surgery
Authors: Brimioulle M , Bates J E H M , Lamyman A
Published: August 2022

Background

Desmoid tumours (aggressive fibromatosis) are rare, locally invasive, benign tumours. The following case represented a diagnostic challenge, because of the uncommon nature of the lesion.

Case report

A 26-year-old woman, who had previously undergone middle-ear surgery for cholesteatoma, presented with a painful swelling involving the post-auricular area and the conchal bowl. Initially, it was believed to be an infective process related to the surgery or an unusual cholesteatoma recurrence. Following investigations, which involved imaging and histology, the swelling was diagnosed as a desmoid tumour, and the patient received chemotherapy.

Conclusion

Two incidences of paediatric desmoid tumours affecting the ear have been described in the literature, but there is no previous report of a desmoid tumour related to ear surgery. Desmoid tumours have, however, been reported following trauma, including surgery.

Authors: Vigneswaran Trisha V. , Hunter Lindsey E. , Carvalho Julene S. , Seale Anna N.
Published: August 2022

Objective:

To investigate UK variability in prenatal and postnatal management strategy of right aortic arch and double aortic arch (RAA/DAA).

Methods:

Online surveys were sent to senior physicians (consultants) of the National Fetal Cardiology Working Group regarding prenatal diagnosis, counselling, and perinatal management of antenatally diagnosed RAA/DAA and to the British Congenital Cardiovascular Association regarding postnatal management strategies.

Results:

There were 28 prenatal and 90 postnatal surveys completed. Prenatally, there was consensus for potential associated chromosomal/genetic anomalies, but there was variation in the risk quoted. Confidence in defining aortic arch morphology was reported by 43% (12/28) of fetal cardiologists. There was variation in what was felt to be possible symptoms/signs of a compressive vascular ring, postnatal investigation, postnatal management, follow-up duration of asymptomatic patients, and indications for surgical intervention.

Conclusion:

This study has highlighted important areas for future research: improving accuracy of prenatal diagnosis, clarification of potential symptoms, optimal investigation strategies, and indications for surgery.
Raiding the demotic: verse as evidence for speech prosody in Old and Middle English
Authors: McCULLY CHRISTOPHER B.
Published: August 2022

This article reviews the isomorphism which may or may not have existed between the speech-prosodic principles pertaining in Old English (OE) and in later Englishes, and the metrical patterns evident in both OE and (early) Middle English lyric poetry. A key question is this: was there isomorphism in OE between rules of right-edge phrasal prominence in speech and purely metrical prominence? Recent theories of OE metrical prominence, particularly those of Russom (2017 and earlier works) show that many normative OE half-lines have a structure which can be adequately described without making reference to right-edge prominence. That very adequacy is a challenge to metrists since well-known eurhythmic phenomena of promotion (of erstwhile weaker syllables to relative stress position within the verse line) and demotion (of erstwhile stressed syllables to relatively less-stressed positions) depend crucially on phrasal right-headedness: if that right-headedness didn't exist in OE, where did it originate? And if it did exist in OE, why didn't poets then make use of the metrical opportunities the language afforded? What can revisiting and studying isomorphism (or the lack of it) between the forms of language and of verse teach scholars about English poetic history?
Genome-wide analysis of sulfur-encoding biosynthetic genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) with Arabidopsis as the sulfur-dependent model plant

Published: August 2022

Sulfur is an essential element required for plant growth and development, physiological processes and stress responses. Sulfur-encoding biosynthetic genes are involved in the primary sulfur assimilation pathway, regulating various mechanisms at the gene, cellular and system levels, and in the biosynthesis of sulfur-containing compounds (SCCs). In this study, the SCC-encoding biosynthetic genes in rice were identified using a sulfur-dependent model plant, the Arabidopsis. A total of 139 AtSCC from Arabidopsis were used as reference sequences in search of putative rice SCCs. At similarity index > 30%, the similarity search against Arabidopsis SCC query sequences identified 665 putative OsSCC genes in rice. The gene synteny analysis showed a total of 477 syntenic gene pairs comprised of 89 AtSCC and 265 OsSCC biosynthetic genes in Arabidopsis and rice, respectively. Phylogenetic tree of the collated (AtSCCs and OsSCCs) SCC-encoding biosynthetic genes were divided into 11 different clades of various sizes comprised of branches of subclades. In clade 1, nearing equal representation of OsSCC and AtSCC biosynthetic genes imply the most ancestral lineage. A total of 25 candidate Arabidopsis SCC homologs were identified in rice. The gene ontology enrichment analysis showed that the rice-Arabidopsis SCC homologs were significantly enriched in the following terms at false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05: (i) biological process; sulfur compound metabolic process and organic acid metabolic processes, (ii) molecular function; oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen and (iii) KEGG pathway; metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. At less than five duplicated blocks of separation, no tandem duplications were observed among the SCC biosynthetic genes distributed in rice chromosomes. The comprehensive rice SCC gene description entailing syntenic events with Arabidopsis, motif distribution and chromosomal mapping of the present findings offer a foundation for rice SCC gene functional studies and advanced strategic rice breeding.

Published: August 2022

DNA/RNA molecules adopting the left-handed conformation (Z-form) have been attributed with immunogenic properties. However, their biological role and importance have been a topic of debate for many years. The discovery of Z-DNA/RNA binding domains (Zα domains) in varied proteins that are involved in the innate immune response, such as the interferon inducible form of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR1 (p150), Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1), the fish kinase PKZ and the poxvirus inhibitor of interferon response E3L, indicates important roles of Z-DNA/RNA in immunity and self/non-self-discrimination. Such Zα domain-containing proteins recognize left-handed Z-DNA/RNA in a conformation-specific manner. Recent studies have implicated these domains in virus recognition. Given these important emerging roles for the Zα domains, it is pivotal to understand the mechanism of recognition of the Z-DNA/Z-RNA by these domains. To this end, we assessed the binding thermodynamics of Zα domain from ORF112 and ADAR1 on T(CG)3 and T(CG)6 oligonucleotides which have high propensity to adopt the Z-conformation. Our study highlights important differences in the mode of oligonucleotide binding by the two Zα domains originating from different proteins. Site-directed mutagenesis was employed together with isothermal titration calorimetry to tease apart finer details of the binding thermodynamics. Our work advances the understanding on binding thermodynamics of Zα domains to their cognate nucleic acid substrates and paves the ground for future efforts to gain a complete appreciation of this process.
Reimagining Assessment of Literacy Skills for Adolescents With Intellectual Disabilities: A Tutorial for an Individualized Approach
Authors: McIntyre Nancy S. , Loughran Carrie , Towson Jacqueline
Published: August 2022

Purpose:

Reading and writing are foundational skills that provide access to educational, vocational, and social experiences. However, while the gap widens between the literacy skills of individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and those with typical development as they grow into adolescence, little is known about meeting the comprehensive literacy needs of adolescents with ID. This tutorial reimagines the assessment of literacy-specific skills for adolescents with ID as an individualized approach that will reveal a profile of strengths and challenges so they can receive targeted intervention.

Method:

Extant research investigating literacy achievement for individuals with ID is reviewed, followed by a discussion of emergent to conventional literacy skills and a conceptual framework within which to organize the skills. Then, an individualized assessment approach is presented that addresses considerations for the selection of complementary formal and informal measures and strategic analysis of the results.

Results:

A clinical case study depicting a literacy assessment of an adolescent diagnosed with ID is utilized to demonstrate the process for determining individual strengths and challenges in emergent and conventional literacy skills. Detailed discussion of assessment results and error analysis provide insight into her level of emergent and conventional reading and writing skills, which is then linked to intervention goal suggestions.

Conclusion:

Comprehensive individualized assessment batteries enable practitioners to align literacy interventions with each adolescent's needs in order to promote conventional reading and writing development.
Besonderheiten der orthopädischen Schuhversorgung des
Rheumatikers
Authors: Kemmerling Manfred
Published: August 2022

Die rheumatoide Arthritis führt bei den meisten Patienten im Verlauf der
Erkrankung zu Fußdeformitäten mit daraus resultierenden
typischen Beschwerden und Einschränkung der Mobilität. Im Rahmen
der konservativen Therapie liegt neben der medikamentösen Behandlung,
der physikalischen Therapie und Krankengymnastik sowie den lokalen
Infiltrationstechniken der Schwerpunkt in der
orthopädie-schuhtechnischen Versorgung. Die Pathophysiologie des
Rheumafußes beinhaltet infolge der entzündlichen
Veränderungen zunächst eine Auflockerung des
Kapsel-Band-Apparates mit Instabilität und typischer
Fußdeformität. Diese anfangs noch instabile Situation kann durch
entsprechende Einlagenversorgungen korrigiert und konsolidiert werden. Im
weiteren Verlauf der Erkrankungen kommt es dann zu Funktionsstörungen
der Biomechanik des Rheumafußes, die durch entsprechende
Schuhzurichtungen entlastet werden können. Bei der schweren
Fußdeformität im Endstadium mit Kontrakturen und fixiertem Vor-
und Rückfuß sind dann orthopädische Maßschuhe in
Einzelanfertigung nach Erstellung eines Leistens für die
Mobilität und Lebensqualität des Rheumatikers erforderlich.
