On the benefits of multimodal annotations for vocabulary uptake from reading
Authors: Boers F , Warren Paul , Grimshaw Georgina , Siyanova Anna
Published: February 2021

© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Several research articles published in the realm of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have reported evidence of the benefits of multimodal annotations, i.e. the provision of pictorial as well as verbal clarifications, for vocabulary uptake from reading. Almost invariably, these publications account for the observed benefits with reference to Paivio's Dual Coding Theory, suggesting it is the visual illustration of word meaning that enhances the quality of processing and hence makes new words more memorable. In this discussion article, we explore the possibility that it is not necessarily the multimodality per se that accounts for the reported benefits. Instead, we argue that the provision of multimodal annotations is one of several possible means of inviting more and/or longer attention to the annotations–with amounts of attention given to words being a significant predictor of their retention in memory. After reviewing the available research on the subject and questioning whether invoking Paivio's Dual Coding Theory is an optimal account for reported findings, we report an eye-tracking study the results of which are consistent with the alternative thesis that the advantage of multimodal glosses for word learning lies with the greater quantity of attention these glosses attract in comparison with single-mode glosses. We conclude with a call for further research on combinations and sequences of annotation types, regardless of multimodality, as ways of promoting vocabulary uptake from reading.
Is the noun ending a cue to grammatical gender processing? An ERP study on sentences in Italian
Authors: Caffarra S , Siyanova Anna , Pesciarelli F , Vespignani F , Cacciari C
Published: February 2021

© 2015 Society for Psychophysiological Research. Gender-to-ending consistency has been shown to influence grammatical gender retrieval in isolated word presentation. Notwithstanding the wealth of evidence, the exact role and the time course of processing of this distributional information remain unclear. This ERP study investigated if and when the brain detects gender-to-ending consistency in sentences containing Italian determiner-noun pairs. Determiners either agreed or disagreed in gender with the nouns whose endings were reliable or misleading cues to gender (transparent and irregular nouns). Transparent nouns elicited an increased frontal negativity and a late posterior positivity compared to irregular nouns (350-950 ms), suggesting that the system is sensitive to gender-to-ending consistency from relatively early stages of processing. Gender agreement violations evoked a similar LAN-P600 pattern for both types of nouns. The present findings provide evidence for an early detection of reliable gender-related endings during sentence reading.

© 2020, The Author(s). Despite evident regulatory roles of heparan sulfate (HS) saccharides in numerous biological processes, definitive information on the bioactive sequences of these polymers is lacking, with only a handful of natural structures sequenced to date. Here, we develop a “Shotgun” Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Sequencing (SIMMS2) method in which intact HS saccharides are dissociated in an ion mobility mass spectrometer and collision cross section values of fragments measured. Matching of data for intact and fragment ions against known values for 36 fully defined HS saccharide structures (from di- to decasaccharides) permits unambiguous sequence determination of validated standards and unknown natural saccharides, notably including variants with 3O-sulfate groups. SIMMS2 analysis of two fibroblast growth factor-inhibiting hexasaccharides identified from a HS oligosaccharide library screen demonstrates that the approach allows elucidation of structure-activity relationships. SIMMS2 thus overcomes the bottleneck for decoding the informational content of functional HS motifs which is crucial for their future biomedical exploitation.

Massage Therapy Research Review
Authors:   University of Miami/Miller School of Medicine and Fielding Graduate University
Published: February 2021

This narrative review on massage therapy effects involved a literature search for research that was published in the years 2016-2020. The review includes studies on massage therapy effects on preterm pain and growth, newborn hyperbilirubinemia and infant colic. The pediatric literature includes studies on behavior problems including ADHD and aggression and physical conditions including diarrhea, asthma, immune function and pain. The adult studies include massage therapy effects on psychological problems including stress and anxiety and physical conditions including fatigue, sleep disturbances, post-burn scarring, gastrointestinal problems and dementia. The musculoskeletal studies are focused on range of motion, balance, muscle activity, grip strength and performance recovery. The massage for pain literature is the most extensive including pain associated with labor, cesarean delivery, shoulder, neck, low back and upper back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, cancer, neuropathy, post-surgery, hospice and aging. The physiological/biochemical measures that have been used include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, vagal activity, facial blood flow, EEG, cortisol and oxytocin. This section is followed by a discussion on potential underlying mechanisms and methodological limitations. The research continues to have methodological limitations including that the studies cannot be double blinded, they are typically not multivariate studies and they are often biased by their reliance on self-report. Nonetheless, the randomized controlled trials included here as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses have concluded that massage therapy is typically effective when it is compared to treatment as usual control groups, More research is needed on massage therapy versus active control groups (e.g. exercise and physical therapy) in randomized, controlled trials.

Purpose: This paper addresses methodological issues related to the concept of ‘Qur’ānic variants and readings’ (qirā’a pl. qirā’āt and ḥarf pl. aḥruf, respectively). I investigate the way they have been depicted in early Islamic narratives, developed in the field of medieval Islamic Qur’ānic sciences (ʿulūm al-Qur’ān), and discussed in Western Qur’ānic studies scholarship in the last two decades. Methodology: The paper proceeds chronologically by discussing variants in the three aforementioned fields: early narratives, classical Islamic Qur’ānic sciences (ʿulūm al-Qur’ān), and modern Western scholarship. Findings: The paper shows the necessity of generating a new approach to studying the history of the Qur’ān and its main concepts. The epistemological tools used in Western Qur’ānic studies on the history of the text of the Qur’ān need to be renewed. Originality: The paper addresses epistemological issues related to Western Qur’ānic studies. It seeks to assess the progress in the field and offers a new perspective on the study of specific topics: Qur’ānic variants and readings.

Published: February 2021

Each territory has distinctive features and landscape compositions that contribute to the creation of territorial identities. Natural parks are territories remarkable for their wealth of biodiversity, which in turn contribute to the development of sustainable socio-economic development through landscape enhancement. The main idea of this research is to test the combinaison of two concepts to propose a suitable management in a semi-arid environment. It is based on the use of the ESAs and landscape diagnosis concepts. The concept of ESAs is supported including the need to identify environnementally sensitive lands based on the hypotheses of MEDALUS project model. However, the landscape diagnosis is based on the combination of landscape potential and social requirements. Results aimed to create ecological and environmental models based on natural materials such as wood, light minerals and a diversified and multicoloured plant palette, including the logic of working with nature and preserving its particularity by promoting sustainable local development criteria and create a new green city.

Authors: Das Uday , Munda Jadab , Mondal Rahul
Published: February 2021

Migration-study holds some classic question as like who migrate, why migrate and where to migrate. Migration researcher delegates their attention to summarizing the nature of migrants ('who') based on sex, age, and the caste to guide who migrate. Demographers do not pay much attention to the marital status of the migrants. The marital status of the migrants ('who') is a significant controlling factor on human mobility. Marriage is a monumental institution in population dynamics, which proximately determines the socio-economic behaviour of the individual. Marital status sometime works as an obstacle and an opportunity for migrants. This study attempts to discover pattern and concentration of migration by marital status and sex to the district of West Bengal from different states and Union Territories (UTs) of India, enumerated by Place of Last Residence (POLR) in 2011, through cluster analysis. The present study finds ever married female migration is much higher than ever married male and never married migration is male-dominated. Marriage is the main reason for female migration, and job opportunities consist of male migration.

The clinicopathological correlates of Cystoisosporiasis in immunocompetent, immunocompromised and HIV-infected/AIDS patients, but neglected in SARS-COV-2/COVID-19 patients?
Authors: Chrysanthus Chukwuma Sr
Published: February 2021

Cystoisosporiasis (formerly isosporiasis) is caused by Cystoisospora belli (erstwhile named Isospora belli) is encountered globally, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Cystoisosporiasis is a human intestinal disease whose etiology is the parasite Cystoisospora belli with infection frequent in immunocompromised subjects, principally HIV-infected and AIDS patients. This coccidium parasite infects the epithelial cells and lining of the villi of the small and large intestines. C. belli is the least frequent of the three intestinal coccidia, viz: Cryptosporidium, microsporidium and C. belli which perturb humans. The clinical presentation of cystoisosporiasis gives a semblance of inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as other gastrointestinal symptoms, nausea, vomiting and diarhoea found in COVID-19, AIDS and HIV-infected patients. Research has not presented comorbid features of COVID-19 and cystoisosporiasis. The oocytes of C. belli are visualizable microscopically on wet mounts via bright-field, differential interference contrast (DIC) and epifluorescence. Trimethoprin sulfamethoxazole constitute the normal treatment of choice. C. belli,HIV-infected/AIDS and COVID-19 patients have clinicopathological correlates necessary to elucidate comorbidities and mechanisms of the diseases.

Published: February 2021

Background: The study of regulatory B cells (Bregs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been in full swing in recent years, but the number and function of Bregs in SLE patients have also present quite contradictory results. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to verify the changes in Bregs in active SLE. Methods: We identified studies reporting the proportions of Bregs in SLE patients by searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane and CNKI. Due to the degree of heterogeneity is very high, we used a random effects model to assess the mean differences in percentages of Bregs between active SLE and controls. Then, sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to verify potential sources of heterogeneity. Results: Seven eligible articles involving 301 active SLE patients and 218 controls were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled percentages of Bregs were found no significant difference between active SLE patients and healthy controls [0.259, (−1.150, 1.668), p = 0.719], with great heterogeneity ( I2 = 97.5%) . The result of sensitivity analysis showed that exclusion of any single study or single article did not materially resolve the heterogeneity, but after excluding the article conducted by Cai X and his colleagues, the percentages of Bregs were significantly higher in active SLE than those in controls [1.394, (0.114,2.675), p = 0.033]. The results of subgroup analysis revealed that when the disease activity was judged by SLEDAI score ≥ 5, the percentages of Bregs were significantly lower in the SLE groups than in the control groups[-1.99,(-3.241,-0.739), p = 0.002], but when the threshold of SLEDAI score ≥ 6 chosen for active SLE, the percentages of Bregs were significantly increased in the SLE groups[2.546,(1.333,3.759), p < 0.001]. Meanwhile, other subgroup analysis based on the different phenotypes of Bregs, diagnostic criteria, enrolled research countries, treatment status, and organ involvement did not differ in proportion of Bregs between SLE patients and controls. Conclusions: The study implies that Bregs may play a role in the pathogenesis of active SLE, and the thresholds of SLEDAI score to distinguish between active and inactive SLE patients are important factors affecting the percentages of Bregs.

Objective To investigate the effect of simple head cooling combined with ganglioside therapy on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and its clinical efficacy. Methods A total of 100 children with HIE admitted in the neonatal ward of our hospital from August 2018 to October 2020 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with gangliosides, and the observation group was treated with simple head cooling combined with gangliosides. Observe and compare the clinical performance improvement time, the level of relevant hematological examination indexes before and after treatment, and the neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA), clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions. Results The improvement time of convulsions, disturbance of consciousness, pupil changes, hypotonia, and gastrointestinal dysfunction in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P＜0.001). After treatment, the NSE, IL-6, CK, CK-MB of the two groups of children were significantly lower than before treatment, and the serum calcium and NBNA scores were significantly higher than before treatment, and the decrease or increase in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control Group (all P＜0.001). The total effective rate of treatment of children in the observation group (82.00%) was higher than that of the control group (62.00%) (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in both groups. Conclusion The simple head cooling combined with gangliosides in the treatment of HIE can improve the clinical symptoms, blood test index levels, and NBNA scores. The clinical effect is clear and superior to the single use of gangliosides.
The Investigation of Endomyocardial Biopsy Results, Plasma pro-BNP Levels and Non-invasive Parameters for Diagnosing of Acute Rejection in Patients Who Undergo Cardiac Transplantation
Authors: AKKAYA Özgür
Published: February 2021

Aim: Heart failure is a disease with high mortality and morbidity, reducing the patient's quality of life. Each year 10% of heart failure patients progress to end-stage heart failure. Cardiac transplantation is the gold standard treatment method in these patients, however acute rejection is the most important factor affecting the success of this treatment. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate endomyocardial biopsy results, serum pro-BNP and non-invasive parameters in patients with acute rejection following cardiac transplantation.Patients and Methods: Twenty patients who underwent cardiac transplantation in our center were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups, namely acute rejection (n: 10) and without rejection (n: 10). Echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), endomyocardial biopsy results, serum reactive proteins (CRP), sedimentation rate and serum pro-BNP levels, were evaluated among the patients and compared between the groups.Results: Endomyocardial biopsies obtained from patients with acute rejection revealed grade 1 rejection in 6 (60%) patients, grade 2 in 3 (30%) patients and grade 3 rejection in 1 (10%) patients. CRP and sedimentation rate were found to be similar between the groups (p> 0.05). High pro-BNP levels were found in patients with rejection (4843.20 ± 6690.10 pg / ml) when compared to the control group (496.30± 216.20 pg / ml) (p: 0.001). In addition, higher pro-BNP levels were detected with progressing of rejection grade (p: 0.03). The highest pro-BNP level was found in a patient with Grade-3 rejection (15211 pg / ml, p: 0.000).Conclusion: Our results show that serum pro-BNP levels are associated with acute rejection. In addition, higher pro-BNP levels were found to be associated with advanced rejection levels.

Authors: KORKMAZ Hakan
Published: February 2021

Aim: To determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the measurement of parathormone (PTH) in fine needle aspiration (FNA) washout fluid in the preoperative localization of hyperfunctional parathyroid lesions. Methods: Medical records of patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in our clinic between 2016-2020 washout were retrospectively evaluated. 36 patients with PHPT who underwent preoperative FNA-PTH washout procedure were included in the study. FNA-PTH washout was only performed in patients with negative technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile /single photon emission computed tomography (Tc-99m MIBI/SPECT) imaging. It was accepted to be higher than plasma PTH level as positive cut-off value for PTH washout in determining parathyroid lesions. Sensitivity, PPV, false positive, false negative and diagnostic accuracy values of PTH washout were calculated.
Results: PTH washout was false positivity in 2 cases, false negative in 1 case and true positive in 33 cases. In the discrimination of true parathyroid lesions, the sensitivity of PTH washout was calculated as 97.05%, specificity 100%, PPV 94.29% and diagnostic accuracy 91.67%. PTH washout levels correlated positively with plasma PTH and parathyroid lesion volume.
Conclusion: The FNA-PTH washout is a safe and useful method to localise parathyroid lesions in PHPT patients with negative Tc-99m MIBI/SPECT imaging.

Pembelajaran ilmu falak dilaksanakan oleh program studi eksakta atau program studi sainstek. Jika dilihat dari program studi di lingkungan perguruan tinggi Islam yaitu UIN, IAIN atau PTKIS maka pembelajaran ilmu falak ini di bawah fakultas Syariah. Peminat yang ingin masuk dalam program studi ini sangat rendah. Walaupun diketahui ilmu falak dipelajari oleh program studi tertentu namun ada dibeberapa fakultas menjadikan ilmu falak salah satu mata kuliah wajib fakultas, seperti di Fakultas Agama Islam Universitas Muhamamdiyah Sumatera Utara. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pembelajaran ilmu falak bagi mahasiswa sangat menyenangkan dan materi pembelajarannya tidaklah sulit, dosen pengampu mata kuliahnya sesuai dengan keahliannya.
Pemikiran Syeikh Thahir Jalaluddin tentang Awal Waktu Shalat dalam Kitab Pati Kiraan
Authors:   IAIN Jember, Muslifah Siti
Published: February 2021

Thahir Jalaluddin seringkali disebut sebagai tokoh falak Indonesia pertama. Pemikirannya berbeda dengan kitab lain yang juga memakai logaritma dalam perhitungannya. Artikel ini membahas bagaimana Thahir Jalaluddin memformulasikan perhitungan waktu shalat dalam kitab Pati Kiraan. Artikel disusun menggunakan metode library research dengan deskriptif-analitik untuk menganalis dan mendeskripsikan pemikirannya. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh bahwa pemikiran Thahir Jalaluddin banyak dipengaruhi oleh guru-gurunya, terlihat pada penggunaan tabel logaritma sebagai media menghitung. Konsep astronomi modern juga dipakai dalam menghisab waktu shalat, seperti konsep koreksi dalam menentukan ketinggian Matahari. Konsep matematika yang dipakai sudah menggunakan teori spherical trigonometry walaupun dalam merumuskannya masih sangat rumit apabila dibandingkan dengan tokoh falak yang sezaman dengannya dimana sama-sama memakai logaritma dalam menghitung.
