Authors: Guzzo Junior Carlos Cristiano Espedito , Haas Aline Nogueira
Published: August 2024

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent disease worldwide, characterized as chronic-degenerative and progressive, manifesting in motor and non-motor symptoms, including cognition. Dance has been associated with positive effects in PD treatment. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct an integrative review on the effects of dance on cognitive symptoms of PD, selecting 13 studies accessed from various databases. The results indicate that dance, as a complementary therapy for people with PD, shows promising evidence of improvements in cognition, while also highlighting limitations in available studies, such as small samples and lack of randomization, as well as difficulties in conducting meta-analyses due to low methodological quality and a limited number of available studies. Future research should address these limitations, including larger and more diverse groups, and employing rigorous designs to improve result reliability.

An exploration of behavior management strategies used by child and youth care workers at centers in eThekwini
Authors:   , Dewa Sindisiwe
Published: August 2024

Child and Youth Care Workers (CYCW) face numerous challenges, including difficult behaviours exhibited by young people in their care. However, there is insufficient information on the behaviour management strategies that are applied by CYCWs in Child and Youth Care Centres (CYCCs). An understanding of that will enable recommendations on child, youth care behavioural interventions, which might empower child, and youth care workers to better manage the behaviour of young people with behavioural difficulties in addition to formulating positive and effective behavioural interventions. The study’s aim was to explore the behaviour management strategies applied by CYCWs at CYCCs in eThekwini and provide suggestions to empower CYCWs. The study adopted the social learning theory and an exploratory research approach using 16 participants from the three selected child and youth care centres in the eThekwini region. The study participants were purposively chosen for semi-structured in-depth interviews and the data was analysed using thematic content analysis. Ethical issues such as confidentiality, informed consent and debriefing were adhered to. The research study results highlighted the fact that CYCWs are frontline professionals working within the same environment as the child; hence, the CYCWs need more support concerning behaviour management. Teamwork in CYCCs, emotional and practical support from the organisations were found to be lacking. Furthermore, CYCWs are challenged by negative behaviour displayed by young people under their care, such as stealing, bullying, aggressiveness, temper tantrums, swearing, and disrespectful conduct. Participants in the current study also provided behaviour management strategies that would be significant in managing the behaviours of young people, such as rules and routines, logical consequences, educational programmes, life and social skills sessions, both individual and group counselling sessions, fostering positive relationships and observing spiritual programs, and recreational activities and play. According to the study results, it was established that the above-mentioned strategies may play an important role in CYC work and it is vital that future research pay significant attention to how these strategies can be supported. The study recommended the support and recognition for child and youth care to encourage quality services for young people living in CYCCs. A better understanding of the behaviour management strategies used by CYCWs would add to the body of knowledge that encourages effective behaviour management of young people, as well as reduced stress for CYCWs.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. This study presents DalROMS-NWA12 v1.0, a coupled ocean circulation-sea ice-biogeochemistry modelling system for the northwest Atlantic Ocean (NWA) in which the circulation and biogeochemistry modules are based on ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System). The circulation module is coupled to a sea ice module based on the Community Ice CodE (CICE), and the physical ocean state simulated by the circulation module drives the biogeochemical module. Study of the biological carbon pump in the NWA is one of the main intended applications of this model. Global atmospheric and ocean reanalyses are used respectively to force DalROMS-NWA12 at the sea surface and as part of its lateral boundary input. The modelling system is also forced by tides, riverine freshwater input, and continental runoff. The physical ocean state and sea ice from two simulations of the period 2015–2018, with and without nudging of the simulated temperature and salinity towards a blend of observations and reanalysis, are examined in this study. Statistical comparisons between model results and observations or reanalyses show the control (nudged) simulation outperforms the prognostic (un-nudged) simulation in reproducing the paths of the Gulf Stream and the West Greenland Current, as well as propagation of the estuarine plume in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The prognostic simulation performs better in simulating the sea ice concentration. The biogeochemical module, which is run only in the control simulation, performs reasonably well in reproducing the observed spatiotemporal variations of oxygen, nitrate, alkalinity, and total inorganic carbon. To examine the effects of tides and sea ice on the physical fields in the study area, results of simulations from which either component is absent are compared to results of the prognostic simulation. In the absence of tides, Ungava Bay in summer experiences a simulated surface salinity that is higher by up to ~7 than in the simulation with tides, as well as changes in horizontal distributions of surface temperature and sea ice. Without coupling to the sea ice module, the circulation module produces summertime sea surface temperatures that are higher by up to ~5 °C in Baffin Bay.

Abstract. Climate change impact studies are essential for understanding the effects on water resources under changing climate conditions. This paper assesses the effectiveness of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks versus traditional hydrological models for these studies. Traditional hydrological models, which rely on historical climate data and simplified process parameterization, are scrutinized for their capability to accurately predict future hydrological streamflow in scenarios of significant warming. In contrast, LSTM models, known for their ability to learn from extensive sequences of data and capture temporal dependencies, present a viable alternative. This study utilizes a domain of 148 catchments to compare four traditional hydrological models, each calibrated on individual catchments, against two LSTM models. The first LSTM model is trained regionally across the study domain of 148 catchments, while the second incorporates an additional 1,000 catchments at the continental scale, many of which are in climate zones indicative of the future climate within the study domain. The climate sensitivity of all six hydrological models is evaluated using four straightforward climate scenarios (+3 °C, +6 °C, -20 %, and +20 % mean annual precipitation), as well as using an ensemble of 22 CMIP6 GCMs under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Results indicate that LSTM-based models exhibit a different climate sensitivity compared to traditional hydrological models. Furthermore, analyses of precipitation elasticity to streamflow and multiple streamflow simulations on analogue catchments suggest that the continental LSTM model is most suited for climate change impact studies, a conclusion that is also supported by theoretical arguments.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Improving parameterizations of convective microphysics in Earth system models (ESMs) requires well-constrained cases suitable for scaling between cloud-resolving models and ESMs. We propose a benchmark large eddy simulation (LES) cumulus congestus case study from the NASA Cloud, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex) and demonstrate its observational constraints using novel polarimetric retrievals and in situ cloud microphysics measurements. Simulations using bulk and bin microphysics with observed aerosol input are compared to cloud-top retrievals of cloud droplet effective radius (Reff) and number concentration (Nd) from the airborne Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP). The bulk scheme reasonably reproduces characteristic profiles of cloud-top Nd that decrease with altitude, while the bin simulation realizes greater discrepancies due to weaker precipitation formation. The Nd profile is strongly sensitive to the collision-coalescence process and the vertically resolved aerosol distribution, but appears well-constrained, whereas a persistent low-bias in Reff is evident in both schemes. Comparison of simulated and in situ droplet size distributions (DSDs) show that low-biased Reff originates from a cloud droplet mode that is too narrow relative to observations. Finally, a thermal-tracking framework demonstrates that the dilution of Nd throughout a thermal's lifetime is heavily determined by collision-coalescence and the height-varying aerosol distribution, and that in the absence of these, the impact of entrainment on diluting Nd is largely offset by continuous aerosol activation. Implications for developing warm-phase convective microphysics schemes for ESMs, evaluation of cumulus congestus using single column model versions of ESMs, and translating results to global, space-based polarimetry platforms are discussed.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Coastal cities are becoming more vulnerable to flood risks due to climate change, rising sea levels, intense storm surges, population growth, and land subsidence. Developing emergency preparedness and response strategies can reduce the impact of coastal flooding and enhance a city's resilience. This article presents a flood relief logistics planning aimed at providing decision-makers with a feasible framework. The framework integrates geographic information system (GIS) network analysis and resource allocation optimization models. Considering the fairness of resource allocation, a biobjective allocation model that minimizes the total transportation cost and maximum unsatisfied rate is developed. This flood relief logistics planning approach is applied to Shanghai, China to presents feasible distribution strategies. And, the case study indicates that the current capacity of emergency flood shelters (EFSs) and the supplies stored in emergency reserve warehouses (ERWs) are adequate to meet the demand of the elderly population if affected by a 100-year coastal flood scenario. However, they would not be sufficient to cover the demand in a 1000-year coastal flood scenario and could only serve half of the affected elderly people. The results also suggest that the city-level ERW in Jiading District and the branch warehouse in Minhang District play a crucial role in distribution. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of increasing resource investments to tackle the inherent unfairness caused by resource shortages. This study provides a scientific reference for developing flood relief logistics plans in Shanghai, and it presents a transferable framework that is applicable to other coastal cities.

MEDIATING ROLE OF PRENATAL ANDROGENS, MUSCLE STRENGTH AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THE ASSOCIATION OF OBESITY AND OVERWEIGHT WITH AGGRESSION IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Authors: Afsharnezhad Taher , Masanovic Bojan , Popovic Stevo
Published: August 2024

Obesity in children and adolescents is a global health problem associated with behavioral issues like aggression which can lead to developmental problems. High levels of prenatal androgens may play a role between obesity and aggression. This study examined the relationship between obesity, aggression and the mediating role of prenatal androgens, muscle strength and physical activity in children and adolescents. 118 healthy boys ages 9 to 17 participated and researchers measured their height, weight, body composition, muscle strength, second to fourth finger ratio, physical activity level using PAQ, and aggression using BPAQ. Chi-square test, Pearson\'s correlation, stepwise linear regression, and Sobel\'s test were used to examine relationships between variables and test mediation, seeking to identify factors affecting aggressiveness. The study found that aggression is directly related to weight, BMI, muscle mass, body fat and WHR. Obese people were more likely to be aggressive compared to non-obese people. Regression analysis showed that 2D:4D ratio, muscle mass and BMI can predict aggression. The results also showed that only muscle strength mediates the relationship between body mass and aggression. The study found a direct link between aggression and body mass in boys which may be because muscle strength mediates this relationship. The findings agree with the idea that prenatal androgens affect aggression in boys. Obese children with low 2D:4D ratios may need education to change views, values, and increase physical activity.

Cardiac rehabilitation includes secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Since the level of LDL cholesterol, which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events, had been shown to be insufficiently controlled in persons included in the third phase of cardiac rehabilitation in the Coronary Club of Ljubljana, we aimed to explore if an additional educational program would improve the control of blood lipids and self-management ability in these subjects. Members of the Coronary Club of Ljubljana were invited to join a ten-month structured program for the management of cardiovascular risk factors with an emphasis on lipid control. Participation in the program activities was optional. A total of 146 subjects were enrolled. During the study, a slight decrease was seen in the following parameters: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and glycated haemoglobin (p<0.05). In the whole group of participants, the median LDL cholesterol level decreased from 2.5 mmol/L (interquartile range [IQR], 1.8-3.4) to 2.2 mmol/L (IQR, 1.7-3.5), but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.081), while in the participants who attended individual consultations or workshops, a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol levels was observed. At the beginning of the study, very high-risk patients had higher activation, indicated with higher median baseline Patient Activation Measure (PAM) score, than high-risk patients (60.6 versus 55.6). During the study, the median PAM score increased in high-risk patients (from 55.6 to 60.6), but not in very high-risk patients. Thus, an additional educational program can improve lipid control and patient activation in subjects included in the third phase of cardiac rehabilitation.
ELEVATING ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE: THE BODY TECHNIQUE PROTOCOL'S EFFECT ON VITALITY AND RESPIRATORY WELLNESS
Authors: Zaletel Petra
Published: August 2024

Engaging in regular exercise and sports can inadvertently lead to habitual movement patterns, restricting specific body parts' range of motion and diminishing joint elasticity. This decline in muscle flexibility impacts energy levels during physical activities, affecting overall vitality. Subjective Vitality State (SVS) captures the essence of feeling alive, reflecting an individual's energy reserves. This study involved 36 young athletes, averaging 22 years, categorized into control and treatment groups. The treatment group followed a novel Body Technique exercise protocol, while the control group adhered to a familiar conditioning protocol. Both protocols included five exercises targeting various muscle groups. The study focused on subjective vitality, perceived intensity load, and chest girth differences during breathing. Results showed increased subjective vitality and larger chest girth post-exercise for both protocols. Despite differences in complexity, participants in both groups did not significantly differ in perceived intensity. The Body Technique protocol demonstrated superior effects on SVS and chest girth, highlighting the significance of innovative, unconventional exercise in sports. By addressing concerns like fatigue and injury, Body Technique protocol may offer the prospect of better results in forthcoming training sessions. The study encourages a paradigm shift in exercise approaches, emphasizing conscious intervention to address novel movement patterns and enhance well-being in athletes.
CAN SIMPLE REACTION TIME TO A VISUAL STIMULUS BE USED AS A MEASURE OF THE BALANCE TASK INTENSITY?
Authors: Moškon Sara , Petra Kokalj  , Katja Tomažin
Published: August 2024

Correctly determining the frequency, intensity and duration of balance tasks (BT) is crucial for effective balance training. While the frequency and BT duration are well defined, understanding BT intensity remains limited. Higher BT intensity demands greater attentional capacity for postural control. To assess the role of attention in postural control the dual-task paradigm including BT with reaction time (RT) is often used, suggesting RT as a potential measure of BT relative intensity. The study aimed to determine whether simple RT can be a surrogate for the relative BT intensity. Twenty randomly selected participants performed six repetitions of two-legged and one-legged stances on firm and compliant surfaces on a force plate. During the execution of the BT, the participants had to react on illumination of the light by pressing a switch held in their dominant hand. The center of pressure (COP) velocity and the RT were investigated. The BT were categorized into low, moderate and high intensities. The results showed a significant increase in COP velocity from low to high intensity BT (p=0.001; h2=0.79). Moderate intensity BT resulted in a 123.6% increase in COP velocity compared to the low intensity BT. During high-intensity BT COP velocity increased by 244.2 % (p < 0.001). There were no differences in RT between different BT intensities (p=0.596; h2=0.03). The results suggest that RT may not accurately reflect the BT intensity. Therefore, it can be concluded that simple visual RT could not be used as a measure of relative intensity of BT.

Guyana’s development is dependent upon, among other things, a well-educated workforce with the necessary skills to exploit its natural resources and to make the nation an effective global competitor. In this regard, the University of Guyana (UG) has a critical role to play by providing its graduates with the education needed to meet the demands of their potential employers. Unfortunately, many organisations have publicly lamented the deficiency of practical skills of UG’s graduates. One available strategic option is for UG to consider a wider use of internships. Internships are valuable because student-interns: (i) learn to apply the theoretical knowledge to real life industrial applications, (ii) are better prepared for entry-level jobs in their field; and (iii) learn by experiencing the actual day-to-day operations of a corporation by attending meetings and participating in actual projects. The objective of this paper is to show how UG can use internships to improve the human capital stock of its graduates. We examine some best practices of internship programmes and demonstrate how internships can be beneficial to students, universities, and companies.

This study attempted to determine the prevalence of respiratory symptoms amongst occupants of homes affected by flooding in Guyana focusing on the area of Cove & John, East Coast Demerara. A total of 130 households representing 460 participants completed the questionnaire. This corresponds to a participation rate of 70% of households (n=130/185) and 82% of persons (n=460/562). The prevalence of upper respiratory symptoms stuffy nose, runny nose, sore or dry throat and sneezing was 5% amongst respondents. A positive association was found between the presence of less than 50% and more than 50% of mould inside the home and upper respiratory symptoms. There was an increased risk of stuffy nose odds ratio (OR): 3.86(1.34 – 11.17), itchy nose OR: 4.28(1.31 – 14.04), and sore throat OR: 6.15(2.35 – 16.15) for persons dwelling in homes with more than 50% coverage of mould compared to homes with less than 50%. A similar association was found between mould and lower respiratory symptoms; wheeze OR: 5.87(2.56 – 13.47), chest tightness OR: 4.72(1.59 – 13.97), shortness of breath OR: 4.55(2.02 – 10.23), and cough OR: 2.92(1.39 – 6.14). This study demonstrates statistically significant associations between home dampness and general symptoms and the presence of mould and upper and lower respiratory symptoms.

Konsep Masyi’atu Allah Wa Masyi’atu Al-‘Ibad dan Implikasinya dalam Pendidikan Islam

Published: August 2024

Konsep masyiatu Allah dan masyiatu al-‘ibad merupakan hal penting yang sejak dulu sering diperbincangkan dan menjadi perdebatan antara aliran-aliran teologi seperti Jabariyah, Qadariyah dan Ahlu Sunnah. Setiap aliran memiliki pendapatnya masing-masing yang berbeda dari aliran yang lain.  Hal ini perlu dikaji ulang kaitannya dengan implikasi dari perbedaan pendapat tersebut terhadap konsep pendidikan dalam Islam. Kajian ini menjadi sangat penting khususnya bagi umat muslim yang mengaku berakidah Ahlu Sunnah, agar dalam memahami proses pendidikan dia tidak menyimpang dari pemahaman Ahlu Sunnah, atau bahkan malah memahami proses pendidikan tersebut dengan pemahaman Jabariyah dan Qadariyah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji lebih dalam mengenai konsep masyiatu Allah dan masyiatu al-‘ibad dalam proses pendidikan Islam dalam perspektif teologis. Hal ini akan diperjelas melalui komparasi antara perspektif teologis aliran Jabariyah, Qadariyah dan Ahlu Sunnah. Metode yang digunakan penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (bahtsun maktabiy) melalui pendekatan analisis deskriptif (dirasah washfiyah). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa aliran Jabariyah menafikan kehendak manusia (masyiatu al-‘ibad) dalam proses pendidikan. Sebaliknya, aliran Qadariyah menafikan kehendak Allah (masyiatu Allah) dalam proses pendidikan. Adapun Ahlu Sunnah tidak menafikan salah satu diantara keduanya, Ahlu Sunnah berpendapat bahwa keduanya memiliki peranan masing-masing dalam proses pendidikan. Maka pendidikan dalam Islam harus bisa mengarahkan peserta didik agak kehendak mereka sesuai atau sejalan dengan apa yang dikehendaki oleh Allah -ta’ala-.

Dalam pelafalan al-Quran yang dibaca siswa ada yang tidak berdasar kaidah, mirisnya masih terdapat siswa yang belum bisa menyambungkan setiap hurufnya. Dari pengamatan hafalan juz 30, siswa hanya fokus pada hafalan tanpa mengamati dahulu pembacaan yang tepat sehingga kualitas haafalannya kurang maksimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan setiap variabel dan mengetahui bagaimana hubungan kemampuan membaca al-Quran dengan kualitas hafalan al-Quran kelas VI MI Hudatul Ummah. Analisis teori digunakan dari Abdul Chaer mengenai kemampuan membaca al-Quran dan Misbahul Munir mengenai hafalan al-Quran. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode korelasional. Sampel yang diambil adalah semua jumlah populasi sebanyak 25 responden. Sumber data yang digunakannya adalah data primer dengan pengumpulan data observasi, wawancara dan tes. Adapun teknik analisis data yang digunakan untuk hipotesis adalah korelasi sederhana dengan Pearson. Berdasarkan analisis data yang ditemukan: 1) Kategori kemampuan membaca al-Quran siswa kelas VI yaitu sedang dengan nilai rerata sebesar 73.16; 2) Kategori kualitas hafalan al-Quran siswa kelas VI yaitu sedang dengan nila rerata sebesar 75.92;dan 3) Kemampuan membaca al-Quran terbukti adanya hubungan terhadap kualitas hafalan al-Quran meskipun nilai hubungannya 67.6%. Dilihat dari arah regresi dengan nilai t-hitung sebesar 6.921 > 2.060, diperoleh keputusan dengan menerima Ha. Nilai korelasi yang didapatkan 0.822 menunjukkan hubungan sangat kuat.
