The need for diverse and culturally relevant assessment tools is the responsibility of all OTs when delivering client-centered care. Assessment tools for Arabic-speaking clients in the United States are close to none. The use of culturally less-relevant assessment tools sabotages the client-centered care approach (e.g., addressing self-care activities that are culturally or religiously mandated). This study reviews the adaptation and the psychometric properties of the A-PASS.

Published: August 2021

Darunavir is a nonpeptidic inhibitor of protease and is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoenzymes. It is usually coadministered with low-dose ritonavir (Darunavir/r). Ritonavir is an inhibitor of CYP3A isoenzymes and pharmacologically enhances Darunavir which leads to increased plasma concentrations of darunavir and allows for daily lower dose. Here, we have developed combination SR formulation of Darunavir and Ritonavir and evaluated. In vitro drug release of all formulations was carried out in dissolution medium 900ml of pH 3.0, 0.05 M Sodium Phosphate Buffer + 2% Tween 20 for 75 RPM USP II apparatus (paddle). The results shown that, all the formulations of matrix tablets shown the good release of drug from trialed formulations however all formulations were not releasing the drug in enough amount. In matrix tablets F6, the release of drug shows NLT 80%. So, the formulation F6 have been considered as suitable for the SR tablet of Darunavir and Ritonavir. Tablets were also evaluated though Quality by Design (QbD) method.
Does Dietary Treatment Cause Obesity in Phenylketonuria? Comparison of Obesity Ratios of Patients Receiving Dietary Treatment and Tetrahydrobiopterin Treatment
Authors: Kadıoğlu Yılmaz Banu , Kardaş Fatih , Kendirci Mustafa
Published: August 2021

Phenylketonuria is treated either with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) or with a phenylalanine-restricted diet. Patients in the diet group may tend to consume carbohydrate-rich foods which have a risk for obesity. In this study, the prevalence of obesity+overweight among phenylketonuria patients either treated with phenylalanine-restricted diet or with BH4 were compared.Patients with phenylketonuria were divided into two groups on dietary treatment and BH4 treatment. Body mass index (BMI), BMI-percentile, and z-score values of patients were calculated and classified as underweight, normal-weight, overweight, and obese according to their nutritional status. The annual mean phenylalanine level of each patient is also evaluated. The study was done retrospectively.A total of 130 patients was included. 77 were receiving diet (female (n,%):37, 48.1%; male (n,%):40, 51.9%) and 53 were receiving BH4 (female (n,%):33, 62.3%; male (n,%):20, 37.7%) respectively. According to BMI-z-score, the sum of the ratio of obesity+overweight was found to be 35.1% in the diet group, 16.9% in the BH4 group. Ratio was significantly higher in diet group (p=0.02). When obesity+overweight ratios were examined in terms of female/male distribution, no significant difference was found. Considering the correlation of obesity+overweight ratios with age in two groups, the median age of the patients with normal weight+underweight in the BH4 group were found as 46-months, and the median age of obese+overweight patients was 137-months (p=0.001). For the same situation, there was no significant difference in the dietary treatment group (p=0.92). Mean annual phenylalanine levels were significantly higher in obese+overweight patients (p=0.047) in the BH4 treatment group but this difference was not significant in the diet group (p=0.051).Patients on the phenylalanine-restricted diet have a risk of obesity or overweight. Therefore, attention should be paid not only to the phenylalanine levels of these patients but also to their weight control and dietary content
Human brain organoids in Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Kang You Jung , Cho Hansang
Published: August 2021

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder that typically involves neuronal damage leading to the deterioration of cognitive and essential body functions in aging brains. Major signatures of AD pathology include the deposition of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and induction of hyper-activated proinflammation in the brain, leading to synaptic impairment and neuronal loss. However, conventional pharmacotherapeutic modalities merely alleviate symptoms, but do not cure AD, partly because drug screening has used model systems with limited accuracy in terms of reflecting AD pathology in human brains. In this regard, several AD organoids have received substantial attention as alternatives to AD animal models. In this review, we summarize the key characteristics required for the generation of a pathologically relevant AD brain organoid. We also overview major experimental organoid models of AD brains, such as spheroids, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted constructs, and 3D brain-on-chips, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses for AD research. This review will provide valuable information that will inspire future efforts to engineer authentic AD organoids for the study of AD pathology and for the discovery of novel AD therapeutic strategies.

Published: August 2021

The supply of electrical energy in Tarakan City, North Kalimantan, still relies on diesel power which uses a limited number of petroleum energy sources. There is a need for research related to renewable energy sources that have the potential to become alternative energy for the people of Tarakan City. Water is an energy source that has great potential to generate electricity. The energy source that should be taken into account is micro-hydro which can be used as a Micro-hydro Power Plant (PLTMH). A survey of micro-hydro sources in Tarakan City, precisely in the Karungan area, East Mamburungan Village, has been carried out with the direct measurement method of water discharge and the relationship with the power generated. The result shows the water source has a discharge 0.00034 m3/ s, the water velocity of 0.035 m/s and generates power only up to 1.1 watts. Based on the power obtained, the water source in this place cannot be used as a source of micro-hydro energy, but has the potential as a source of pico-hydro energy.

Immunological research about ultra-high dilution and Homeopathy: From 1994 to 2014
Authors: Bonamin Leoni Villano
Published: August 2021

Background: This review is part of a special issue of journal â€œHomeopathyâ€ (ELSEVIER) scheduled for publication in 2015, about the follow-up of researches published in the book titled â€œUltra-High Dilution, Physiology and Physicsâ€, written and edited by PC Endler and J Schulte in 1994. In this book, Prof. Madeleine Bastide described experimental models in immunology that were used during the 1980s to investigate high dilution effects on several biological systems. Bastide categorized available papers in four categories: high dilutions of antigens; high dilutions of thymus, bursa and other hormones; high dilutions of cytokines and immunopharmacological activity of silica. The studies about high dilutions of antigens were interrupted from this time onwards. Only the in vitro models developed on antigens and histamine dilutions lasted up to 2009. During this process, a huge multi-centre study was performed, with high reproducibility, and involving different independent laboratories. The studies about highly diluted cytokines, thymulin and other hormones brought some regulatory properties of endogenous substances prepared homeopathically, with special focus on epigenetic mechanisms of highly diluted cytokines. The frequently studied substance was Thymulin 5cH, which improved the activity of phagocytes in viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Studies about the immunopharmacological activity of silica have assumed a new focus: the putative role of silica as active contaminant present in high dilutions, that is still under discussion.

Will Machines Replace Us? Machine-Authored Texts and the Future of Scholarship
Authors: Alarie Benjamin , Cockfield Arthur
Published: August 2021

We present here the first machine-generated law review article. Our self-interest motivates us to believe that knowledge workers who write complex articles drawing upon years of research and effort are safe from AI developments. However, how reasonable is it to persist in this belief given recent advances in AI research? With that topic in mind, we caused GPT-3, a state-of-the-art AI, to generate a paper that explains “why humans will always be better lawyers, drivers, CEOs, presidents, and law professors than artificial intelligence and robots can ever hope to be.” The resulting paper, with no edits apart from giving it a title and bolding the headings generated by GPT-3, is reproduced below. It is imperfect in a humorous way. Ironically, it is publishable “as-is” only because it is machine-generated. Nevertheless, the resulting paper is good enough to give us some pause for thought. Although GPT-3 is not up to the task of replacing law review authors currently, we are far less confident that GPT-5 or GPT-100 might not be up to the task in future.

Tennis can be played at almost any age in multiple environments, requires only one partner to play with, has multiple health benefits and certainly provides players with significant enjoyment while competing.
Speed development for 10 and under tennis players
Authors: Bastiaens Kenneth
Published: August 2021

Children must be cultured in and from a broad base of motor skills in tennis programs. The children’s speed abilities cannot be challenged and therefore fully stimulated in a tennis-specific context. At this stage the acquired tennis skills are unstable under pressure. Consequently, we should consider developing the speed abilities for 10 & under tennis players in a non-specific, yet challenging context within a motor skills practice.

Published: August 2021

Various factors are of importance to the ultimate success of a tennis player’s career. Apart from technical, tactical, mental and physical abilities, athletes require access to certain resources to fulfil their potential. Entering sponsorship agreements is often essential in realising access to these resources. This article reviews some basic concepts that tennis coaches, supporting team members and players could use to realise successful sponsorship deals.
Exploring how psychosocial factors influence the skill refinement process in tennis
Authors: Toner John , Nicholls Adam R
Published: August 2021

Coaches overseeing technical changes, which are driven by the desire to enhance performance, are a very common part of the coaching process among tennis players. A number of psychosocial concomitants (e.g. confidence) appear important in influencing an athlete/coach’s ability to successfully implement such refinements. The current study explored this issue by conducting a series of semi-structured interviews with highly-skilled tennis players who have attempted to extensively refine an aspect of their technique. Remaining confident and committed to the changes prescribed by their coach were more likely to make refinement successful. Our data suggests the need for better communication between the coach and athlete at the initiation of the refinement and throughout the process.
The psychology of turning points in tennis
Authors: Soares Ana , Harwood Chris
Published: August 2021

The psychological strategies used by players to deal with these turning points will determine how effective players are in using these situations to their advantage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concept of turning points and understand more clearly the strategies applied by elite players to deal with turning points during a tennis match. A series of semi-structured interviews was conducted with nine elite professional players from five different countries, followed by a thematic content analysis of the interviews. The analysis revealed four key themes: positive turning points situations, negative turning points situations, strategies to capitalise on positive turning points and strategies to cope with negative turning points. On a practical level, strategies are suggested that coaches and psychologists can use to help players managing turning points. This research was partially supported by an International Tennis Federation Sport Science Research Grant.
Определение статуса внутриязыкового перевода в XXI веке
Authors: Стрельцов Алексей Александрович
Published: August 2021

Рассмотрено понятие «внутриязыковой перевод», которое пока ещё не получило должного обоснования и признания в отечественной лингвистике, поскольку сам термин появился в русскоязычной научной литературе около двух десятков лет назад. В последнее десятилетие число публикаций по указанной проблеме растёт, что свидетельствует о её актуальности. Показано, что внутриязыковой, или интралингвистический, перевод подразделяется на два вида – диахронический, предполагающий перевод текстов, созданных сотни лет назад на предшествующих этапах развития какого-либо языка, на современный язык, и синхронический. Последний, в свою очередь, бывает межвариантным, учитывающим диалектные различия внутри одного языка, и нормализующим, ориентированным на социолекты. Показано, что внутриязыковой перевод следует отличать от другого вида языкового посредничества, адаптации, поскольку переводчик подвергает текст переработке на разных уровнях, не ограничиваясь заменой отдельных устаревших лексем.
Employers’ Expectation of Computer Technology Skills Required of Business Education Graduates from Colleges of Education in Rivers State
Authors: I. Ogolo Furo
Published: August 2021

This study examined employers’ expectation of computer technology skills required of business education graduates from colleges of business education in Rivers State. To achieve the main purpose of the study, two research questions were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted to elicit responses from a sample of 100 employers of business education graduates and 200 business education graduating students drawn out of the population of 150 employers and 345 business education final year students respectively during the 2019/2020 academic session. Data collected using checklist and questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentage and bar chart. The findings reveal that employers of business education students in Rivers State expect the graduates to have high skills in the following computer application areas: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Desktop Publishing, Databases, Computer Networking, Website Application, POS Application, Payroll Application and Computer Internet. The findings also reveal that business education students rated their competency level in these computer application skills as low. These show that there is a gap between the expectation of the employers and the computer technology skills of business education graduates. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were put forward among others: employers of business education graduates should collaborate with the National Commission for Colleges of Education to review the curriculum content for computer application areas in business education to cover skills in areas needed for their productivity. Business education students who have already graduated and are lacking in the various computer technology skills highlighted in this study should endeavour to embark on personal development in order to develop such skills needed for employability.

Recent work on functional oligothiophenes of advanced materials for organic electronic devices has been developed. In this study, the synthesis and characterisation of linear and fused oligothiophenes (e.g., oxidative coupling, palladium catalysed C-H homocoupling and cross-coupling) emphasises applications in various areas are addressed.
The genetic aspect of musicality, perfect pitch and congenital Amusia
Authors:   Post Graduate Department of Zoology, Maulana Azad College, Kolkata-700013, West Bengal, India, Mandal Amlan , Karmakar Susanta Roy
Published: August 2021

As one of the most important aspects of art, music is also a part of human biology and has had a significant influence on human evolution and development. In addition, it is an essential component of cultural heritage. Both hereditary and environmental variables are thought to play a role in developing and manifesting musical talent. Although environmental variables affecting musical ability have been extensively studied, genetic influences are less well understood. The genetic influence was strongly supported in studies of a random population, twins, and families of talented musicians. Linkage analysis, variation in gene copy number, and scanning for whole-genome expression were among the modern biomolecular methods used to discover genes or chromosomal areas linked to musical ability. Singing and music perception have been linked to many loci on chromosome 4, while absolute pitch and music perception have been linked to specific loci on chromosome 8q. Music perception, memory, and listening have all been linked to the AVPR1A gene on chromosome 12q, while SLC6A4 on chromosome 17q has been linked to music memory and choir involvement.
