Published: December 2019

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) exhibits a high risk of progression to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and it is commonly deemed as the precursor of AD. It is important to find effective and robust ways for the early diagnosis of MCI. In this paper, a random forest-based method combining multiple morphological metrics was proposed to identify MCI from normal controls (NC). Voxel-based morphometry, deformation-based morphometry, and surface-based morphometry were utilized to extract morphological metrics such as gray matter volume, Jacobian determinant value, cortical thickness, gyrification index, sulcus depth, and fractal dimension. An initial discovery dataset (56 MCI/55 NC) from the ADNI were used to construct classification models and the performances were testified with 10-fold cross validation. To test the generalization of the proposed method, two extra validation datasets including longitudinal ADNI data (30 MCI/16 NC) and collected data from Xuanwu Hospital (27 MCI/32 NC) were employed respectively to evaluate the performance. No matter whether testing was done on the discovery dataset or the extra validation datasets, the accuracies were about 80% with the combined morphological metrics, which were significantly superior to single metric (accuracy: 45% ∼76%) and also displayed good generalization across datasets. Additionally, gyrification index and cortical thickness derived from surface-based morphometry outperformed other features in MCI identification, suggesting they were some key morphological biomarkers for early MCI diagnosis. Combining the multiple morphological metrics together resulted in a significantly better and reliable identification model, which may be helpful to assist in the clinical diagnosis of MCI.

Published: December 2019

Background:

Early detection of cognitive decline allows timely intervention to delay progression of dementia. However, current cognitive evaluation tools often include items delivered via verbal forms of instruction, which can cause poor performance in patients with hearing loss.

Objective:

To develop and validate a cognitive screening battery, the Reading Cognitive Test Kyoto (ReaCT Kyoto), comprising test items given through non-verbal instruction.

Methods:

A cross-sectional and multi-center study was conducted in the three medical institutes. ReaCT Kyoto was designed to evaluate domains of “registration,” “repetition,” “delayed recall,” “visuospatial recognition,” “orientation in time and place,” and “executive function.” The Japanese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination Test (MMSE-J) and ReaCT Kyoto were applied by experienced psychotherapists. Concurrent validity was evaluated between the ReaCT Kyoto Test and MMSE-J and between the ReaCT Kyoto Test and physician-diagnosed dementia.

Results:

ReaCT Kyoto was validated in a sample of 115 participants. The mean age of subjects was 81.0±6.4 years, and the sample comprised 53.0% females. The area under the receiver operating curves was 0.95 for detecting physician-diagnosed dementia. When classifying patients in accordance with presence or absence of hearing loss, the AUCs were 0.93 and 0.97 for those with and without hearing loss, respectively. With a cut-off score of < 29 points for suspected dementia, ReaCT Kyoto correctly classified 90.4% of the subjects as belonging to the group with or without physician-diagnosed dementia.

Conclusion:

ReaCT Kyoto provides an appropriate solution for detection of cognitive impairment in persons with or without hearing loss.

Authors: Hossain Mohammad Musharof
Published: December 2019

A mycorrhizal fungus, Ceratobasidium sp. GC (NCBI Gene Bank Accession no GQ369961) associated with the roots of an epiphytic orchid Gastrochilus calceolaris was investigated by cultural morphology, microscopic features and molecular analysis of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The colony appearance of the fungal endophyte was fluffy growth pattern and the colour of the young colony was milky white on both surfaces that turned in to brown at maturity on the upper surface and deep brown on reverse surface. The microscopic features of the fungus i.e. hyphal diameter, multi-nucleate vegetative cells, right angle branching pattern with slight constriction at branching point and a dolipore septum near the branching point were observed. All the characters corroborated the identity with anamorphic Rhizoctonia like fungi. The ITS regions sequences of nrDNA and phylogenetic analysis based on the neighbor-joining method showed clustered with Rhizoctonia like fungi, and the maximum identity (98.28%) with Ceratobasidium RR and Ceratobasidium FPUB isolated from Rhynchostylis retusa and Dactylorrhiza hetagera, respectively. Thus, the ITS of nrDNA sequences validated the morphological data. This is the first report of orchid mycorrhizal fungi from Bangladesh.

T wave on ECG is the positive deflection after QRS complex which reflect the ventricular repolarization. The amplitude of T wave is 5mm in limb lead and 10mm in chest leads. T wave is upright in all leads except a VR and V1, but it may be inverted in V1-V3 in pediatric age group. Triple T pattern is the negative T waves in inferior leads, anterior leads and on a VR. Triple T pattern is a very common finding in Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare form of cardiomyopathy that affects LV apex and rarely RV apex or both. Patients with AHCM has a wide range of presentations, ranging from asymptomatic to palpitation, nonspecific chest discomfort, chest pain etc. It does not present with features which are common in other type of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy like presyncope, syncope, and it has less chance of sudden cardiac death. First clue of diagnosis of AHCM is widespread negative T wave in ECG. Although negative T-waves may be found in chest leads in 93% of cases. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the best diagnostic tool. Proper transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation demonstrates apical wall thickness >15 mm and a ratio of maximal apical to posterior wall thickness >1.5 mm. Beta-blockers are mainstay of treatment whereas implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is recommended for high risk cases. As it is a genetic disease genetic counseling and periodic follow up is required.

Blended learning as a modern educational technology for integrating the learning process in education institutions
Authors: Mizyuk Viktoriia
Published: December 2019

Digital technologies increase the impact on society, economy and education every day. Schools gradually penetrate the technologies of virtuality and complemented reality; teachers must be prepared not only for their understanding, but also for their use. Currently, mixed learning becomes more popular in educational institutions,
but not all teachers understand the essence of this concept. A generalized analysis of domestic scholars has shown that the notion of "mixed learning" relates to such concepts as "learning process", "learning system", "educational technology", "educational methodology", "combination of methods", "modernization tool", etc. On the basis of the analysis of literature on the concept of "mixed learning" in foreign and domestic researchers, the author presents her own definition, discloses the main components of mixed learning and its benefits in organizing educational
activities in institutions of general secondary education; a scheme of combining traditional and e-learning in a mixed one is prepared. Digital technologies have a significant impact on the nature, the form of training, the kind of activity of students, allow the implementation of fundamentally new forms and methods of learning, and, as a consequence, increase the efficiency of educational process in a digital society. Before higher education there is the task of training specialists who can use a computer for the organization of interactive training and testing, video conferencing, participation in telecommunication projects, webinars, forums, etc. It is noted that modern teacher has to develop independently educational content in text, video, multimedia and hypermedia format, to use digital and educational resources, to set up educational content management systems and to organize training with the use of the Internet and its services.
Music code of poetry Dmitry Kremeny
Authors: Petrenko Olha
Published: December 2019

The article deals with the role of musical images in the poetry of Dmitry Kremen. The subject of study is the music code, which is present in many works of the poet. Musical signs, symbols, links play a significant role in vocabulary, phraseology and other ways of poetic expressiveness. Familiarity with the subject world of D. Kremin's poetic texts includes a wide range of concepts related to the world of sounds. The additional accents of a musical-conceptual thesaurus arise when musical cues form certain speech turns that acquire the meaning of metaphors. Musical signs in the lyrics of Dmitry Kremin imply awareness of a wide range of sound associations, which the poet interprets from the standpoint of his own value attitude to them. Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart are the names-symbols of the world music culture, which occupy a significant place in the thesaurus of Dmitry Kremin's poetic texts. Behind these subject designations lies the vast world of artistic and figurative generalization and lyrical and philosophical reflections that are gaining coded meaning. Familiarity with the poetry of Dmitry Kremin proves that the leitmotif of many of his texts is the image of a violin, which acquires different semantic shades. Thus, in Beethoven's poetry, the poet emphasizes the value of music as a special language, devoid of words, but empowered to embody emotional and semantic richness, and therefore capable of being the language of angels. Music code the poetry of Dmitry Kremen is a multidimensional system in which the concept of "music" acts as a concept as a set of meaningful characters and their semantic meanings. In the process of decoding Dmitry Kremin's poetry, one can discover the deep semantic loads of the musical code, on the one hand – as the embodiment of the categories of high, sublime, valuable and eternal in the human sense, on the other – as a symbol of the extra-material, mystical, language of which the angels speak. Decoding the poet's texts is the process of extracting recognition codes and perception codes. The codes of perception in the poetry of Dmitry Kremenya are meaningful loads of texts, its semantic components, which highlight the deep meanings of texts. Through the musical code, the poet embodies the content of the categories of the sublime and the beautiful. The music code shows the understanding of poetry of Dmitry Kremenin a deeply metaphorical sense.
Ukrainian piano concert in the repertoire of the future teacher of music art
Authors: Revenko Natalia
Published: December 2019

The article highlights the methods of working on a Ukrainian piano concert with students-pianists in the lessons on "Instrumental Performance (Piano)" in higher education institutions.
The stages of the formation and development of the Ukrainian piano concert are presented: the end of the 20s-30s of the XX century – the origin and formation, the 40-60s – the development period, the 80-90s – the heyday of the concert genre.
The best examples of this genre in the works of domestic composers of the past and the present are analyzed, namely, piano concerts by L. Revutsky, M. Skorik, V. Ptushkin. It has been proved that the positive qualities of the piano concerto No. 2 of L. Revutsky consist in the organic development of Ukrainian classical traditions, in the deep embodiment of elevated, cheerful moods, lyrical-excited pathetics, and strong-willed images. The piano concerto No. 1 by M. Skorik is characterized by an artistic-figurative emotionality combined with brilliant virtuosity and is designed for vivid external effects. Marked by neoclassical style, M. Skorik’s concert is built on the free competition of a virtuoso pianist with an orchestra and refers to the type of concerts with relatively equal parts of solo and orchestra. When performing the interpretation of the first part of the piano concert of V. Ptushkin, the main attention is paid to the nature of the performance of the main themes, namely the contrast and dialogue between them.
It was found out that acquaintance of students-pianists in the instrumental performance classes with the genre of the Ukrainian piano concerto expands the knowledge of future music art teachers in developing this genre in our country. Processing the best examples of piano concerts by composers of the past and the present develops a sense of ensemble playing among students, influences timbre hearing, introduces composers' innovations in the fields of style, musical language, means of shaping, as well as a wide emotional palette of musical images.
The concerts focused on the functions of a soloist and orchestra, the artistic content of works, shaping, composer innovations in the field of musical language.
The History of Publishing of Philaret Kolessa’s Scientific Heritage in the 50s–70s of the XX Century
Authors:   Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy, Gorak Yakum
Published: December 2019

The article is based on the manuscript “The Protocols of the Commission on the Preparation of the Works of Academician Kolessa for Publication”, preserved at the Stanislav Lyudkevych Memorial Museum in Lviv, reveals the history of the publica- tion of Philaret Kolessa’s writing heritage. In 1947, on the order of Khrushchev, Lviv Department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR received a prescript to publish the academician’s works. In 1957 there was the Editorial Commission at the M. Lysenko Lviv State Con- servatory, chaired by Yaroslav Shust created with the special purpose. Lviv Depart- ment of the Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Art Studies in Kiev proposed their projects of the publication. The Kiev’s project of the publication in 6 volumes was taken as a base. In the fall of 1958, the plan of the edition changed again: it was decided during 1958–1960 to carry out a 10-volume edition of the works of Academi- cian Kolessa. However, the 10-volumes edition were never published. By the centenary of the Academician's birth in 1971, three more volumes were published: “Music Studies”, “Folkloristics Works”, prepared by Sofiya Hrytsa and “Musical Works”, edited by Mykola Kolessa. The full text of the “Book of the Proto- cols of the Commission on the Preparation of the Works of Academician Kolessa for Publication” is given in the Annex to the article. It contains 37 protocols covered the period from December 30, 1954 to January 2, 1959 (with breaks).
Itinerant musicians of the Western Polissya: Stroke to the portrait of hardy- gurdy player Ivan Vlasyuk
Authors:   Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy, Yarmola Victoriya
Published: December 2019

Traveling busker performance is an integral part of the folk musical culture of Western Polissya and has been widespread in the region until recently. Particularly important were the hurdy-gurdy players, which were respected as great spiritual and ethical mentors. As well they influenced the development of the folk musical tradition in general. The proposed research illuminates life and musical art career of Ivan Vlasyuk, the last Polissyan hurdy-gurdy player. Besides biographical information there are transcriptions of unknown records: two psalms about Saint Nicholas and one about John the Forerunner. In addition to discovered records the author of the article includ- ed voluminous ethnographic information to present a complete picture of the life and work of a talented musician. It was collected during 2017–2019 from local residents in the village Zalyuttya in Starovyzhivskiy district of Volyn region, as well as from the guide-boy and later son-in-law of musician – Petro Savchuk, born in 1946. Ivan Vlasiuk used several forms of busking, which combined the rituals of the Orthodox Church: a recitation of prayers, singing of Akathists, Bible theme psalms on one side. On the other side he performed songs on ethical and satirical themes or jokes and dances accompanied by a hurdy-gurdy. The main form of busking was focused on visiting village houses. The passage through the village was performed in two ways.The first was by going “from house to house”, the other in hurdy-gurdy art tradition was called “going through”, which described as an artist’s passing on the main road of the village with- out visiting villager’s homes. Besides “from house to house” form, there were shows at big public gatherings, such as fairs or markets. Equally important were the church and religious festivals where many traveling musicians gathered at the same time. The main part of Ivan Vlasyuk’s repertoire was inherited from his teacher Stepan Rybachuk, the rest he learned from other blind musicians in the process of busking. At the beginning of his travels Ivan Vlasyuk’s repertoire consisted mainly of religious ethical works, and later he actively studied folk songs-mostly humorous, which were more interesting to peasants and to the musician himself. The proposed work is only the beginning of studies of the hurdy-gurdy art in Western Polissya, so it does not claim to be entire. At least it requires the full coverage of work about other representatives of the local blind busker tradition, including the blind harmonists.

This is the second part of the series of publications about the versatile ethnomusi- cological activity of the Problematic Scientific-Researching Laboratory of Music Eth- nology (PSRLME) and Musical Folkloristic Department (MFD) of the Lviv National Music Academy named after Mykola Lysenko in the 1990–2004 years. This initial period of PSRLME’s activity under guidance of Bohdan Lukanyuk was dedicated to the development of the first phase of fundamental problems associated with tradi- tional folk music and ethnic history of Halychyna and Volodymyriya. Documentation of music folklore of poorly researched regions of Western Ukraine during 1990–2004 years (which includes field work, transcription of gathered materials and their ar- chiving) has created strong base for further scientific research. Over this period the fellows of the Laboratoty of Musical Ethnology implemented almost two hundred versatile scientific and scientific-methodological explorations, of the PSRLME and MFD published 25 books and brochures on various topics of ethnomusicology. The main directions of the activity were area-typological, ethno-organological, eth- no-choreological, resource science, historical and other researches. The study was conducted by the senior generation of ethnomusicologists such as B. Lukanyuk, I. Matsiyevskyi, M. Myshanych, L. Saban, Y. Slyvynskyi and other, as well as the next generation: I. Dovhalyuk, V. Koval, L. Lukashenko, Y. Rybak, I. Fedun and other, the most of which are still working at the PSRLME and Musical MFD. The study of scientific work of PSRLME and MFD during 1990–2004 years is preceded by a brief historical review of musical-folkloristic researches in Lviv High Music School and complemented by two indexes at the end of this issue of “Ethnomusic”. The article has been based on the analysis and compilation of data from nu- merous papers and electronic documents of PSRLME and numerous printed sources, mainly publications of the Department and Laboratory fellows. Key words: history of ethnomusicology, area-typological studies, ethnoorga- nology, ethnochoreology, historical ethnomusicology, resource science, Bohdan Lu- kanyuk, PSRLME, Musical Folkloristic Department.

Authors: Suma Suma , Koul Anubhav
Published: December 2019

Background: While edentulism has been on the decline in developed countries, it still remains a hurdle for developing countries like India owing to various factors like lack of awareness and negligence towards the dental treatment options available.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between age, gender and socio demographic status of the patient on the dentulous status of the patients.

Materials and methods: 520 patients who reported under the DantaBhagya scheme were selected as a part of the study. Details such as age, gender, socio demographic status and status of the dentition were recorded. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 2.0 software.

Result: More male patients(61%) were found to be edentulous compared to females(39%). A higher percentage of participants belonged to the rural sector(89.2%) and edentulism was found to be more prevalent in the geriatric population of age above 60 years(62.1%) followed by age group of 40-60years(36.2%).

Conclusion: There is a definite correlation between age, sex and socio-demographic status of the patient and edentulism.

Keywords: Edentulism, socio demographic status, complete denture
Assessment of the knowledge and perception of parents about toothpastes used in 2-12 year-old children – A cross-sectional study
Authors: Shirke Shweta , Katre Amar
Published: December 2019

Introduction:Fluoridated toothpastes account for the worldwide decline in caries prevalence,though knowledge of parents pertaining to it is scarce. Hence, the aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and the perception of parents about toothpastes used in 2-12 year-old children. Methodology: Seventy five parents were administered a 12-point validated questionnaire to assess their knowledge and perception through variables such as purpose, contents, harm, etc. The categorical variables were represented as proportions and assessed using x2 test. Results: 59% of parents chose the toothpastes for prevention of tooth decay. 37% of parents were aware about the benefits of the toothpastes (p<0.168).while80% of parents were unaware about the harms of fluoridated toothpastes (p<0.775). Few parents were aware about the contents of the toothpastes, statistically significant (p<0.003). Conclusion: Parents had limited knowledge pertaining to contents, benefits and harms of the toothpastes. Keywords: Toothpaste, knowledge, perception, parents
Effects of Salt Stress on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Mineral Nutrients of 18 Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Cultivars
Authors: Liu Cuiyu , Zhao Xueqing , Yan Junxin , Yuan Zhaohe , Gu Mengmeng
Published: December 2019

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is widely grown in arid and semiarid regions, where the salinization may have developed through irrigation. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate NaCl stress on growth, photosynthesis, and nutrients of 18 pomegranate cultivars. One group was irrigated twice a week with a nutrient solution. The other group was watered twice a week with the same nutrient solution and 200 mM NaCl for five weeks. Dry weight, shoot length, new shoot number, root length and number, leaf area, leaf relative water content, and net photosynthesis of salt-treated plants were negatively impacted by salt stress, and there was a significant difference among cultivars. Few foliar damages were observed. Na content of plants significantly increased in all cultivars, while P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Si, Al, Zn content of plants decreased under salt stress. Fe, Mn, and Cu content increased in most cultivars. Pomegranate accumulated supraoptimal Na mostly in roots and transported more K and Ca to shoots, which was attributed to maintaining a higher ratio of K/Na and Ca/Na in the aerial part of plants. Ten of the 18 cultivars were considered salt-tolerant, which would offer a reference for pomegranate cultivation on saline lands.

Published: December 2019

In this study, the effect of dietary supplementation of mulberry leaf polysaccharides (MLPs) on the immune parameters—i.e., the immune organ weight, serum immunoglobulins, cytokines, nitric oxide (NO) production, and insulin-Like growth factor-1 (IGF1) mRNA expression—of weanling pigs as a model animal was investigated. A total of 120 healthy weanling pigs (aged 28 ± 2 d) with the same body weights were randomly divided into four groups: (1) Control treatment (CT), basal diet (BD), (2) MLP low-dose treatment (MLT), 0.6 g/kg MLP + BD, (3) MLP high-dose treatment (MHT), 1.2 g/kg MLP + BD, and (4) antibiotic treatment (AT), 0.15 g/kg chlortetracycline + BD. The results revealed that the thymus and spleen indices were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in both MLT and MHT groups in comparison with the CT group, while the serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-8, and interferon (IFN-γ) in the MLT group and IL-2, IL-6, and IFN-γ in the MHT group were also considerably greater (P < 0.05) than the corresponding levels in the CT group. The serum contents of IgG, IL-1β, IL-2, and IL-8 in the MLT group and IL-2 and IL-6 in the MHT group were significantly increased in comparison with the corresponding contents in the AT group (P < 0.05). The transformation rate of lymphocytes in the MLT and MHT groups was higher compared to the CT and AT groups. However, a notable difference was found between the MLT group and the two control groups. The peripheral lymphocyte NO production in the MLT, MHT, and AT groups was significant relative to the CT group. The expression levels of IGF1 mRNA in the liver and muscle longissimus tissues of both the MLT and MHT groups showed significant improvement (P < 0.05) over those in the CT group. Moreover, the IGF1 mRNA expression in the muscle longissimus from the MLT group was significantly higher than in the AT group. In conclusion, the results suggest that incorporating MLPs into the diets of weanling pigs improves the animals’ metabolisms and immune functions, and the effects of the MLT group were superior to those of both the MHT and AT groups.
