Published: April 2021

Visavertė vaiko raida yra sudėtinga, visa apimanti, aukščiausia asmenybės vystymosi pakopa. Vaikų raidą tyrinėję mokslininkai nustatė, kad vaiko ugdymuisi ypač didelę reikšmę turi jo paties aktyvumas. Per pirmuosius kelerius gyvenimo metus vaiko raida yra nepaprastai greita. Kuo daugiau stimuliacijos ir galimybių mokytis gauna vaikas, tuo daugiau informacijos jis sukaupia, tuo sparčiau vyksta jo raida. Vaiką nustota laikyti mažu suaugusiuoju, į jį pradėta žiūrėti kaip į savitą esybę su savais gyvenimiškais poreikiais. Apie vaikystę Friedrichas Froebelis kalbėjo kaip apie lavinimosi laiką. Vaiko elgesio ir emocinių problemų apžvalga bei analizė prasminga dėl kelių priežasčių. Viena, visuomenėje egzistuoja dažnai nepagrįstas ir vienpusis požiūris, kad vaikai „išaugs savo bėdas“, jos trumpalaikės ir nevertos atidesnio susidomėjimo. Ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikų kognityvinė, socialinė, emocinė raida iš tiesų yra nepaprastai sparti ir dinamiška, todėl konkretus vaiko vystymosi pokytis gali ir sukelti, ir sušvelninti nepageidaujamos jo elgsenos apraiškas.

Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikų, kuriems nustatytas specifinis mišrus raidos sutrikimas, skirtingų ergoterapijos metodų efektyvumą lavinant pažintines funkcijas. Tyrimas vyko nuo 2019 m. kovo 8 d. iki 2019 m. gegužės 3 d. Vilniaus universiteto ligoninės Santaros klinikų Vaikų ligoninėje, Vaikų fizinės medicinos ir reabilitacijos skyriuje. Tyrimo imtis – 15 ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikų, kuriems nustatytas specifinis mišrus raidos sutrikimas. Taikyti ergoterapijos metodai: modifikuotas trumpas protinės būklės vertinimas (MMSE), modifikuota E.I. Kiphardo skalė individualiam vaiko vertinimui „Sensorinio ir psichinio vystymosi schema“, taikyti skirtingi ergoterapijos metodai: 1 metodas (užduočių testas popieriniame variante) ir 2 metodas (manipuliacinių užduočių demonstravimas) bei reakcijų į lietimo dirgiklius ir elgesio vertinimo skalė. Įvertinus ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikų, kuriems nustatytas specifinis mišrus raidos sutrikimas, pažintines funkcijas, paaiškėjo, kad labiausiai sutrikusios šios pažintinės funkcijos: dėmesio koncentravimas, pažinimas, suvokimas, trumpalaikė atmintis, orientacija laike ir vietoje. Išsiaiškinome, kad skirtingų ergoterapinių užsiėmimų metodai daro teigiamą įtaką, lavinant vaikų pažintines funkcijas. Metodas, kurio metu vaikai atlieka manipuliacines užduotis, yra efektyvesnis.

Authors: Hussein S. M.
Published: April 2021

This experiment was performed to find out the effect of peppermint on the performance, gut morphology and immune organs of coccidiosis challenged broilers. A feeding trail was conducted on 320-day-old Ross 308 chicks allocated to 32 floor pens in a 2x4 factorial arrangement. The studied factors were: challenge (Negative or Positive) and feed additive (Control, Peppermint and). On day 8 of age, birds in challenged groups were orally inoculated with Eimeria tenella. On day 35 Eimeria decreased weight (P <.0001) gain and deteriorated feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05). On 24 and 35 days of age, broilers given salinomycin and peppermint had improved weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared to controls (P < 0.05). Significant challenge × additive interactions were observed for weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio villus height, crypt depth and apparent villus surface area on d 24 and d 35. Challenged broilers in salinomycin and peppermint groups had significantly increased villus height and villus height/crypt depth and decreased crypt depth compared to positive control. Challenged birds exhibited significantly longer, wider and larger area of bursa of Fabricius lymphoid follicles compared to non-challenged birds. These results illustrated that, peppermint has high protective efficacy against declining in the performance and gut health of coccidiosis infected broilers.

Published: April 2021

This study was conducted at the college of agriculture – Al-Qasim Green University to investigate the effect of breed and age of dams on several growth traits of two sheep breeds, including 123 Iraqi Awassi and 78 Iranian Karakul breeds. Variables growth traits were examined in the present study, namely body weight (BW), body length (BL), wither height (WH), rump height (RH), and chest circumference (CC), and abdominal circumference (AC). Results indicated the absence of a significant effect between both breeds in all investigated growth traits in birth. Meanwhile, a significant (P<0.05) superiority of Karakul over Awassi was detected in month-3 in three growth traits (BW, WH, and RH), and in month-6, in four growth traits (BW, WH, RH, and BL). The age of dams exhibited a significant (P<0.05) effect on the majority of lambs’ growth traits since lambs born from dams aged over 4 years gave more values than those born from dams aged less than 4 years. Sex of lambs had also contributed to growth traits measurements since higher values were collected from several growth males over females in month-3 (BW, BH, and RH), and month-6 (BW, BL, WH, and RH). Time of birth had also yielded significantly (P<0.05) better values for lambs born in January over those born in other months. However, lambs born in December gave better traits than other lambs. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the obvious superiority of Karakul over Awassi breed in the majority of growth traits measured.

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen that causes infectious diseases in animals. It is one of the causal agents causing abortion in infected cows. This study was conducted to detect listeria monocytogenes in aborted cows. Also to estimate the role of the milk in the distribution of the pathogen by detecting the bacteria in milk of aborted cows as well as in raw milk from the market of Salahudeen province. The study includes 46 aborted cows from which 46 milk samples were taken to detect the causative agents. Also 38 vaginal swabs were taken from the same aborted cows and 8 samples from fetuses. 30 raw milk samples were also taken from market at Salahudeen province. The results showed that Listeria monocytogenes were detected in 5 (13.1%) of vaginal swabs, 2 (25%) of aborted fetuses, 13 (28.26%) in milks from aborted cows, and 9 (30%) of raw milks. The isolated pathogens were screened for the presence of 3 virulence factors; InlJ, InlA, and HIY. The results showed that theses virulence genes were found in the majority of the isolates and the isolation rate ranged between 75%-100%. The study concluded that milk is one of the main sources for the pathogen spreads to other animals.

Published: April 2021

This study was aimed to investigate the Open Reading Frame-112 (ORF-112) gene, which encoded for a hypothetical 218 amino acids protein in Streptomyces bacteria. A complete ORF-112 gene was synthesized, with addition of a 6xHis-Tag at the N-terminal location. The synthesized DNA nucleotides were sub-cloned into bacterial expression plasmid pBAT4. The pBAT4-ORF-112 plasmid transformed in bacterial cells BL21(De3)pLysS, intended for protein over expression, induced by isopropyl β- d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The IMAC affinity chromatography technique was deployed for protein purifications. Highly-purified fractions of ORF-112 were achieved by using affinity Ni++-columns. The purified ORF-112 protein was tested for possible biological activity.  The SDS-PAGE analysis exhibited a soluble 30 kDa size purified ORF-112 protein which showed a slight gel shifting from the predicted size. The virulent activity test on purified fractions of ORF-112 was measured using the Disk Diffusion Test and it disclosed a clear zone formed in response to fungi Candida albicans growth. The data implies that the ORF-112 protein has an acceptable protective effect against the fungus C. albicans as compared to positive control ketoconazole (KCZ) (P < 0.05) while the protein has a significantly lower protective effect against the fungus than Itraconazole (ICZ) (P > 0.05). The results clarify the hypothetical ORF-112 protein is a novel protein with protective response effect against fungi cells C. albicans on disk-diffusion.test.

Authors: Karunakar P , Rangareddy M.S. , Kumar B.Sravan , Karteek B.S , Khan Mohammed Aamer
Published: April 2021

The fracture of an endodontic instrument is an obstacle in the completion of successful endodontic therapy. Non-surgical re-treatment and surgical endodontics are not always viable solutions. The various methods of re-treatment for a separated instrument include le bypass, le retrieval or the surgical method of Apicoectomy. However, the mode of treatment also depends on the position of the separated instrument in the tooth, the anatomy of the tooth and also the root. In certain cases, le bypass or retrieval is not advocated. In such cases, other options for re-treatment are needed to be considered. Intentional replantation is a treatment option considered by many as a procedure of last resort when non-surgical and surgical endodontics is contraindicated. This procedure is often indicated where the separated instrument is at or beyond the apex. The case report discussed in this paper presentation demonstrates the procedure of intentional replantation as a viable solution where other retreatment procedures are not possible.

ROLE OF NON-PROTEIN AMINO ACIDS IN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Authors: Bedolla Eliseo Ruiz , Martinez Briceida Lopez , Ortega Israel Parra
Published: April 2021

Many nonprotein amino acids (NPAAs) are plant secondary metabolites and have a similar chemical structure , size, shape and charge to protein amino acids and can be mistakenly used in protein synthesis, interfere in biochemical pathways, overstimulate receptors or chelate metal ions. The Consumption of a number of plants that contain NPAAs has been shown to have acutely toxic effects in humans. The consumption of some seeds or vegetables that contain NPAAs inuences some people as a trigger for some diseases or as an exacerbating factor. The effects of NPAAs on human health are not well understood. It has been observed that chimpanzees fed alfalfa and also a volunteer subject who have intake alfalfa tablets have both developed a disease with all the characteristics of lupus erythematosus ( an autoimmune disease) and by suppressing the consumption of alfalfa the disease disappears. Most of NPAAs are of plant origin; these do not form part of the primary structure of proteins, they act as antimetabolites and most are found in higher plants; they have the same basic structure as amino acids of animal origin. The substitution of a protein amino acid in protein synthesis produces abnormal proteins which generate antibodies and modication of autoantigens as mechanism to break immunological tolerance and trigger autoimmunity. Auto-antibodies formation is a characteristic of autoimmune disease. The toxic potential of NPAAs depend the amount ingested and the consumption time. Chronic exposure to NPAAs could contribute to autoimmune disease development in genetically susceptible individuals

Cellular identities in the past have been based on the structural and functional aspects. Proper delineation of cellular structure occasionally could be ambiguous because of their varied existence either structurally similar or functionally dissimilar or vice versa. “Ghost cells”- is an area which is entailed by controversies allocated to their functionality and appearance. In odontogenic lesions they are considered as the enlarged epithelial cells with central space consequential to lost nucleus. Many authors have documented on the histogenesis and formation of ghost cells yet nothing relevant till date. This article is an attempt to concise the literature in precise manner to elaborate the ghost cell origin in histopathologic arena.

Published: April 2021

To some, learning English appears to be complicated. In the academic contexts, students still get difficulties in learning English. Teachers as educatorsshould be creative in choosing the best method to teach the language. Learning strategies that are less fun or arguably boring do not improve students’ English skills, instead will only make students feel bored and lazy to learn. The most important thing is that students enjoy every learning process as something fun. It can help the students feel comfortable during the learning process. Fun learning activities will have an impact on improving students’ English abilities naturally. It helps students to reduce pressure during learning. Therefore, the ways of learning must be designed and adapted to the needs of students. This paper is non-research based. It means that the paper is about author’s perspective of how to learn English in fun ways. This article enlists several fun ways in learning English. So, the students can find their enjoyment in learning English.Keywords: Fun, Learning English, Strategies, Method

Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 5 perlakuan dan 5 ualangan. Level penambahan SKR pada pembuatan kefir sebanyak 0; 5; 10; 15 dan 20 %. Parameter yang dianalisis meliputi pH diukur menggunakan pH meter, kadarpolifenol total menggunakan reagen Folin-Ciocalceu, dan aktivitas antioksdian ditetentukan dengan metode DPPH. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji ANOVA, dan jika berpengaruh nyata atau siginifikan dilanjut menggunakan uji beda Tukey. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan SKR terhadap nilai pH sangat berpengaruh nyata (P<0.05),kadarpolifenol total dan aktivitas antioksidan mengalami peningktan dibandingkan perlakuan P0 atau kontrol. Semakin tinggi penambahan SKR dalam pembuatan kefir maka semakin tinggi pula nilai pH yang dihasilkan. Penambahan SKR sebanyak 20% menghasilkan kefir dengan kadar pH 4.35, nilai pH ini masih masuk standar pH susu fermentasi untuk susu fermentasi. Kadar polifenol total pada penelitian ini semakin meningkat dengan semakin banyaknya penambahan SKR. Penambahan SKR sebanyak 20% menghasilkan kadar polifenol total sebesar 684.4686 mg/L lebih tinggi 70% dibandingkan control. Sampel kefir yang diperkaya 20% SKR menunjukan nilai aktivitas antioksdian paling tinggi DPPH IC50 sebesar 554.3444. Kesimpulan penelitian ini bahwa penambahan SKR efektif meningkatkan  aktivitas antioksdian, kadar fenolat total, dan  pH kefir sesuai standar susu fermentasi.

Background: The new COVID-19 pandemic resulted in tremendous challenges to mankind in health, emotions and economy. A specifically vulnerable group are pregnant and postpartum women. We conducted a study that aimed to shed light on the effects of this pandemic on emotional state of pregnant and postpartum women.

Objective and Study Design: A cross-sectional study in northern Israel based on web questionnaire for the assessment of general stress, anxiety and depression during the quarantine period of COVID-19 pandemics from April 20 until May 7, 2020. Participants were pregnant women and women up to a year after childbirth. Overall, 356 women of whom 251 pregnant and 101 post-partum filled the questionnaire.

Results: Among 251 pregnant women, 199 (79.3 %) reported moderate-high stress, 145 (57.8 %) high anxiety. A hundred and three (41.0%) reported high level of depression (PH2>3). Among pregnant women, the following were the most prevalent stressors: fear that someone in their family will acquire the virus (80.1%), concern for the health of the baby (77.7%), fear that someone close will die from COVID-19 (72.9%) and worry of being infected within the hospital (71.7%). A univariate analysis of stress revealed that age (χ2=10.93, p<0.004) and income level (χ2=13.35, p<0.001) were associated with the level of stress. Stepwise logistic regression revealed that both age and income level below the mean were predictors of stress. Among the 165 multiparous pregnant women, age (25-34 vs. 35-44) was a predictor of stress (p<0.04).

Conclusion: Our study clearly showed an enormous negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on emotional condition including stress, anxiety and depression on both pregnant and postpartum women. This provides an insight on the relation between economy and emotional state during uncertainty period. This effect adds a huge challenge to healthcare system and social support providers as well as the governments in providing means and solutions during pandemics and worldwide disaster.

Peer support programs in the fields of medicine and nursing: a systematic search and narrative review
Authors: Pereira Lara , Radovic Tamara , Haykal Kay-Anne
Published: April 2021

Peer-provided services exist in many different domains and professions. However, there is a knowledge gap in the existing programs’ descriptions and grouping that hinders creating new high-quality peer support programs. The objectives of this article are two-fold in describing existing peer support programs published in the literature in the medical field and evaluating their descriptive quality. Six electronic databases, grey literature, and reference lists were systematically searched. Studies reporting the existence of a support program delivered by peers and its description or methodology were included. Studies targeting patients and children were excluded. 11 articles were included in the qualitative synthesis and explored in detail. A total of 2155 peers participated in support programs in the fields of medicine, nursing, or both. Programs in other professional fields were not found. Programs were described in five different countries. Three methods of peer support delivery were found: in person, online, and mixed varying in their goals, duration, peer training supervision and participant demographics and number. Program descriptions were rated as good, fair, or poor using a verified rating scale.  There are numerous well-described programs varying in their methodology and type of delivery. Thus, the emergence of new programs can be based on such models that have been well-described in the literature.

The compressive strength of concrete could be evaluated during and after construction because of a weakness in a reinforced concrete structural member appeared. Quality control of concrete in existing and new constructions can be evaluated by several methods. If the compressive strength did not comply with the design requirements, core samples from the low strength structural members are usually taken to evaluate the structural capability. In the construction sites, compressive strengths of columns and shear walls are the most important. Also, the preparing of quite simple reports for the quality control analyses of a construction is common especially in slab and beam analyses. Hence, in this paper, a new sightseeing assessment is recommended to this analysis. In this study, in-situ non-destructive and destructive investigations in newly constructed building slabs and beams were performed because of the weakness of concrete. With this scope, non-destructive and core sampling examinations were performed on slabs and beams according to the TS EN 13791. Building was constructed by using ready-mixed concrete with CEM I 42.5R and CEM II/B-S 42.5N type cement. As a result of this study, it is thought that the TS EN 13791 contains limited information for the evaluation of newly constructed building for concrete because of its varied ingredients. Compressive strength of concrete produced with granulated blast furnace slag like pozzolanic materials instead of cement needs more time to reach required strength if it is not designed for early strength.

In this paper, an iterative process for a hybrid pair of a finite family of generalized I-asymptotically nonexpansive single-valued mappings and a finite family of generalized nonexpansive multi-valued mappings is established. Moreover, the weak convergence theorems and strong convergence theorems of the proposed iterative process in Banach spaces are proven. The examples are established for supporting our main results. The obtained results can be viewed as an improvement and extension of the several results in the literature.

In this paper, we study vector quasiequilibrium problems. After that, the Painlev´e-Kuratowski upper convergence, lower convergence and convergence of the approximate solution sets for these problems are investigated by using a sequence of mappings ΓC -converging. As applications, we also consider the Painlev´e-Kuratowski upper convergence of the approximate solution sets in the special cases of variational inequality problems of the Minty type and Stampacchia type. The results presented in this paper extend and improve some main results in the literature.

In the paper, we extend known results concerning crossing numbers for join of graphs of order six. We give the crossing number of the join product G+Dn, where the graph G consists of two leaves incident with two opposite vertices of one 4-cycle, and Dn consists on n isolated vertices. The proof is done with the help of software that generates all cyclic permutations for a given number k, and creates a new graph COG for a calculating the distances between all (k − 1)! vertices of the graph. Finally, by adding new edges to the graph G, we are able to obtain the crossing number of the join product with the discrete graph Dn for two other graphs. The methods used in the paper are new, and they are based on combinatorial properties of cyclic permutations.

This is the second of two reports that look at the results of TIMSS 2019 and Australia’s performance. Volume I focuses specifically on the achievement results, detailing Australia’s results within the international context, and presents results for the Australian jurisdictions, and for the different demographic groups within Australia, including male and female students. This report, Volume II, presents the results from the contextual questionnaires, and examines the contexts in which learning and achievement occur, including home, school, and classroom contexts, as well as student attitudes. Each chapter focuses on different indicators that cover the school community, the school learning environment, mathematics and science teacher characteristics, mathematics and science classroom learning environments, and students’ attitudes and beliefs. Together, the different indicators of student and school life illustrate some of the many key aspects that make up the school experience.
