Predictors of Employment and Job Performance in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
Authors:   , Stephan Catherine , Lee Nancy Raitano
Published: July 2022

Difficulties attaining and maintaining employment have been well established in populations with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs). However, less is known about factors that may contribute to successful employment in this population. Thus, the current study sought to characterize a) employment readiness, b) vocational outcomes, and c) malleable cognitive-behavioral characteristics that are associated with both readiness for and engagement in vocational activities in a sample of adults with NDDs (Mage = 32.65 years). Participants with primary diagnoses of intellectual disability (ID; n = 25) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 6) who were currently enrolled in vocational support services with TLC - the Treatment and Learning Center in Rockville, Maryland were included. Although both societal factors and individual differences can impact attainment and maintenance of employment, this study focused on malleable individual differences in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, namely executive functioning (EF), psychiatric symptomatology, and autism traits. Using the report and ratings of 6 employment specialists of the 33 individuals with NDDs, participants were identified as needing variable levels of support, with most requiring either a low degree (41%) or a moderate degree (36%) of support. Regarding job readiness, a homogenous, profile was found across the domains of Work Habits/Attitudes, Interpersonal Relations, Cognitive Skills, and Work Performance Skills. Notably, the sample's vocational outcomes were found to fall into two groups, those engaging in community based employment (42.4%) and those not engaged in vocational or educational activities of any kind (57.6%). Using t-tests, EF and psychiatric symptomatology were found as clinically (but not statistically) significant predictors of vocational outcomes (i.e., community-employed: yes/no) with moderate effect sizes. Further, using a series of stepwise regressions, EF, and to a lesser degree, psychiatric symptomatology predicted significant variance in skills related to employment readiness. These findings have important clinical implications, as they help to elucidate the current state of employment for individuals with NDDs and serve as a first step in identifying potential novel targets of treatment (i.e., EF and psychiatric symptomatology) to support employment in NDDs.

Introduction Livability (defined as the ability of urban systems to reliably meet basic human needs, provide opportunities for expression, and foster a sense of community) is a nuanced multidimensional construct that is growing in interest in public health and other fields in the social sciences. However, measurement of livability is skewed towards attracting new development instead of accurately representing the lived experiences of residents. Creation of strong measures of livability are needed to improve understanding of this construct, its operation in causal pathways of health, and facilitate comparisons of livability across contexts to advance knowledge sharing. Despite the promise of livability measurement to advance cross-sector collaboration for public health goals, there is little to no empirical investigation into livability and health and insufficient evidence about how livability affects health behaviors and outcomes. Methods We conducted a scoping review of livability measures and the assessment of their respective psychometric properties (Aim 1) to inform a secondary data analysis of the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey (DCWS). We employed factor analytic methods to create measures of livability in Connecticut, examined their psychometric and ecometric properties, and assessed convergent and divergent validity of these measures with other area-level measures (Aim 2). Multilevel generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) were fit to estimate associations between livability measures and four health outcomes: self-rated health, BMI, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes (Aim 3). Results The scoping review of livability measures included 24 studies, representing a wide geographic range and varying geographic scales. There was minimal consensus on the conceptualization of livability, but significant overlap in identified domains. Factor analysis of DCWS data identified three domains: safety, opportunity, and infrastructure. As a result, four livability measures were created, one overall measure and three subscale measures. All four measures had high reliability and demonstrated high convergent and divergent validity with other measures (e.g., place satisfaction). Adjusted multilevel models show that increases in overall livability, safety, and opportunity are associated with higher odds of excellent self-reported health and lower odds of cardiovascular disease. There was no statistically significant association between any livability measure and BMI or diabetes. Conclusion Further measurement research can support the creation of parsimonious, standardized measures of livability to facilitate shared goals across sectors for livability interventions. The largest disparities in livability were across income and geography, providing evidence for the long-lasting impact of racial residential segregation in the United States. Thus, livability measurement has the potential to describe and improve quality of life for marginalized populations experiencing persistent livability inequities.

We aimed to present the differential diagnosis and treatment of Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) in a patient with acute corneal edema after phacoemulsification surgery. A 52-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with acute corneal edema and visual impairment secondary to DMD, which was noticed on the postoperative 16th day after routine phacoemulsification surgery in the left eye. On the 16th day, visual acuity of the case was; 0.8 in the right eye and from 50 cm in the left eye at the level of counting finger. In biomicroscopic examination nuclear sclerosis in the right eye, diffuse corneal edema except the upper temporal region in the left eye was followed. Intraocular pressures were normal in both eyes. On fundus examination, the right eye was normal and the left eye was normal ultrasonographically like the right eye although cannot be evaluated clearly. Anterior segment optical cohorens tomography (ASOCT) was performed with suspicion of DMD. ASOCT images showed a hyperreflective band that was forming a second anterior chamber under corneal epithelial and stromal edema. The patient was being diagnosed with DMD and corneal edema related with this and perfluoropropane (C3F8) injection was made into the anterior chamber. On the third day following the injection, the cornea was transparent except for the paracentral descemet wrinkles, there was gas appearance in the anterior chamber and visual acuity increased to 0.2 level according to snellen. This case shows us that intracameral gas injections can be an effective treatment modality in DMDs exceeding two weeks.

AMAÇ: Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS), premenopozal kadınlarda en sık görülen endokrin patolojidir ve çeşitli sistemleri etkileyen karmaşık bir sendromdur. PKOS'un kemik metabolizması üzerindeki etkileri hakkında çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır, ancak PKOS’da osteoporoz riski konusundaki veriler çelişkilidir. Wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site (Wnt) yolu, kemik metabolizmasının düzenlenmesinde önemli rol oynar. Bu yolun inhibitörleri olarak Sklerostin (Scl) ve Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) son zamanlarda osteoporozun terapötik tedavisiiçin hedefler haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, PKOS'lu kadınlarda Scl ve DKK1 düzeylerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmada PKOS tanısı konulmuş 36 kadın ve 35 sağlıklı gönüllü retrospektif olarak incelendi. Her iki grup, demografik, antropometrik, biyokimyasal parametrelerin yanı sıra Scl ve DKK1 seviyeleri açısından karşılaştırıldı.BULGULAR: Scl seviyesi, PKOS grubunda 42,68 ± 13,28 pg / mL ve kontrol grubunda 45,69 ± 11,79 pg / mL idi ve istatistiksel olarak benzerdi. DKK1 seviyesi, PKOS grubunda 1444,73 ± 611,30 pg / mL ve kontrol grubunda 1204,26 ± 660,88 pg / mL idi ve istatistiksel olarak benzerdi. PKOS grubunun vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve bel/kalça oranı (BKO) değerleri, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmamasına rağmen, kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti.SONUÇ: Bu çalışma, PKOS'lu kadınlarla sağlıklı bireyler arasında, Scl ve DKK1 düzeyleri bakımından anlamlı bir fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Amenore PKOS olgularında kemik kaybına neden olsa da, hiperandrojenemi ve hiperöstrojeneminin kemik yoğunluğu üzerindeki olumlu etkileri dengeleyici bir unsur olarak kabul edilebilir.

Juvenil fibromiyalji (JFM) çocuklarda görülen kronik bir ağrı durumudur. Oldukça nadir görülen bu hastalık ilk kez 1985 yılında tanımlanmıştır. Küçük yaşlarda görülse de adölesanlarda görülme sıklığı artmaktadır. Kız çocukları daha çok etkilenmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalara rağmen net bir etyoloji belirlenememiştir. Bazı sinapsların aşırı hassaslaşması ve sinaptik aralıktaki aktivite artışına bağlı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çocuklarda yaygın ağrı, yorgunluk, uyku güçlüğü ve okul devamsızlıkları ve okul başarısında azalmaya neden olmaktadır. Bu durum hastaların yaşam kalitesini etkilemektedir. Hem aile için hem de hasta açısından oldukça önemli bir morbidite sorunudur. JFM temel özellikleri ile yetişkin hastalardaki kliniğe benzemektedir. Yetişkinlerden farklı olarak JFM tanılı çocuklarda eklem gevşekliği veya hipermobilitesi daha yaygın görülmektedir. Hastalığı saptamak için spesifik tanısal testler yoktur. Tanı koymak oldukça zordur. Semptomlar ayrıntılı fizik muayene ve klinik bulgular ile birlikte değerlendirilmelidir. Semptomlar ayrıntılı fizik muayene ve klinik bulgular ile birlikte değerlendirilmelidir. Yunus ve Massi tarafından 1985 yılında JFM için geliştirilen kriterler çocuklarda yeniden revize edilmiştir. Ayrıca Amerikan Romatoloji Koleji 1990 yılındaki kriterleri de yeniden düzenlenerek tanı konulmasında kullanılmaktadır. Erken tanı konulması ve uygun tedaviye zamanında başlanması hastanın yaşam kalitesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Ayırıcı tanıda tüm kronik ağrı şikayetleri değerlendirilmelidir. Tiroid disfonksiyonu, sistemik lupus eritematozus, juvenil idiyopatik artrit, uyku bozuklukları gibi hastalıkların dışlandığından emin olmak için ayrıntılı bir fizik muayene ve öykü alınması gerekir. JFM tedavisinde psikososyal destek, uygun fizyoterapi ile sürekli aktivite oldukça faydalıdır. Hastalığa ek sorunlar da multi-disipliner bir şekilde tedavi edilmelidir. Tedavide başlıca amaç ağrının giderilip hastanın işlevselliğinin en üst düzeye çıkarılmasıdır. Bu yazıda pediatri polikliniklerinde nadir olarak akla gelen JFM ’yi gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of curcumin on contrast nephropathy in rabbits.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 14 adult, 2.5-3 kg white male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. Goups consisted of the control group (n=2) consisted of the contrast-induced nephropathy group (n=6) and the Curcumin group (n=6). In the curcumin group, curcumin was administered via gastric gavage at a dose of 500 mg/kg one day before and on the day of contrast agent administration. Iopromide was injected intravenously at a dose of 8 g/kg via a catheter in the V. auricularis marginalis over a period of 30 minutes at a slow rate to induce contrast nephropathy.RESULTS: Myeloperoxidase was 4,899 ± 0,424 ng/ml at hour 0 in the contrast-induced nephropathy group and a significant increase was observed after 48 hours (7.467 ± 0.353 ng/mL) (p=0.002). In the contrast-induced nephropathy group, vacuolization of the glomeruli, vacuolar degeneration of the tubular epithelial cells, hyaline casts, necrotic tubular epithelial cells in the tubules was statistically higher compared to the curcumin groups (P=0.000).CONCLUSIONS: Based upon these results, it was concluded that curcumin, which is a strong antioxidant, had a significant protective effect against contrast-induced nephropathy after 24 and 48 hours. Therefore, the administration of curcumin before the contrast material administration may be beneficial to prevent nephropathy in selected cases

Abstract

Character is something that must be instilled in elementary school children. The world of education must play an active role in instilling good character, one of which is by instilling the value of religious moderation. Islam teaches a person to be tawasuth, tasamuh, tawazun, and i'tidal. These attitudes should be instilled in children in elementary school to implement an attitude of religious moderation. The role of the teacher is very important to instill the qualities of mutual help and tolerance so that students can not discriminate against others and can apply these attitudes in everyday life. This paper discusses the role of teachers in the application of religious moderation in elementary schools. This paper uses qualitative research methods with a discriptive analysis approach.

Abstract

In everyday life human life is not independent of physical elements. Among the physical phenomena we can encounter is the creation of energy shut up. In the fabric here there are several roles like electrons, atoms, Photons, and so on. In modern physics, it is called as pair production theory. This phenomenon only happens in light with high speeds, so it can be difficult to be observed directly. Relating to that phenomenon, the surah as-sajdah verse 5 said that light can be known in depth through the interpretation of Jalalain written by  Imam Jalaluddin Al-Mahalli and Imam Jalaluddin As-Suyuthi.

The Impact of the Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from China
Authors: Lyu Xinying
Published: July 2022

To achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions, countries including China have taken actions to transform their energy-intensive industries and optimize their energy consumption structure. One possible way is to integrate the development of the digital economy into the green-economy efficiency promotion. This study examines the effects of the development in the digital economy on carbon emissions based on the panel data of 31 provinces in mainland China spanning from 2009 to 2019. The regression results show that there was a negative relationship between the digital economy and carbon emissions, which seems to run counter to the prior hypothesis. This is probably because since the beginning of this period China has already been taking advantages of developments in the digital economy to reduce carbon dioxide pollution. Based on the empirical results, I suggest that the digital economy be used to increase the overall productivity and efficiency of the economy, especially in under-developed areas like the northeastern region.

Digital enterprises that use various Internet of Things implementation prototypes, such as cloud, mobile, and edge equipment, are experiencing unprecedented traffic volume and dynamicity. Data center networks (DCN) have faced various issues due to the transient and random nature of traffic created by services and apps. The primary objective of this paper is to predict the network traffic using the machine learning (ML) models before the performance of the network start degrading. Because in the last decade, ML has had a tremendous impact on handling the massive amount of data. With the increase in complexity and traffic, we tried to implement four ML models such as K – Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Decision Tree (Tree), with tuned sub-parameters to predict the network traffic. We create a matching ML environment based on a sequential database and provide a comparison table of mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) for each prototype. The simulation results show that the GB with different types is the best-suited model for predicting the network traffic with performance matrix parameters such as MSE 0.001 and RMSE of 0.030. Therefore, the Orange tool is used to stimulate the predictive models.

W publikacji zaprezentowano dostępne i perspektywiczne procesy pozyskiwania i oczyszczania wodoru w odniesieniu do planowanych strategicznych zmian rynku wodoru. W związku z koniecznością wprowadzania zmian związanych z ograniczaniem użytkowania paliw kopalnych na rzecz zastąpienia ich mniej emisyjnymi źródłami energii, głównie odnawialnymi (OZE), nieodzowne będą zmiany zarówno w skali, jak i sposobie wykorzystania wodoru. Dokumenty strategiczne tworzone w tym obszarze pokazują, że w perspektywie lat 2025–2030 nastąpi zwiększenie wykorzystania wodoru jako paliwa transportowego (m.in. w transporcie samochodowym, ciężkim kołowym i kolejowym). Rozważane są również zmiany polegające na wykorzystaniu wodoru pochodzącego ze źródeł odnawialnych w obszarze budownictwa i energetyki, a także wytwarzania ciepła technologicznego. Perspektywy zwiększenia zapotrzebowania na wodór pochodzący z OZE powodują konieczność rozwoju nowych lub niszowych obecnie metod jego wytwarzania oraz separacji i oczyszczania. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę dostępnych metod wytwarzania i oczyszczania wodoru, która wykazała, że wodór w skali przemysłowej produkowany jest najczęściej z paliw kopalnych w procesach reformingu parowego i autotermicznego oraz częściowego utlenienia. Natomiast wodór z odnawialnych źródeł energii otrzymywany jest w procesie elektrolizy oraz w procesach biologicznych i termicznych. Wydajność pozyskiwania wodoru w znanych obecnie procesach jest zróżnicowana (0,06–80%). Także skład pozyskiwanej mieszaniny gazowej jest różny i w związku z tym zachodzi konieczność dobrania metod separacji i oczyszczania wodoru nie tylko w zależności od wymagań podczas jego dalszego zastosowania, ale również w zależności od składu mieszaniny poreakcyjnej zawierającej wodór. Do oczyszczania wodoru w skali przemysłowej najczęściej stosowane są technologie adsorpcji zmiennociśnieniowej (PSA), które pozwalają na pozyskanie wodoru o czystości nawet do 99,99%. Jeśli oczekiwana czystość nie przekracza 95%, istnieje możliwość zastosowania metody destylacji kriogenicznej. Trzecia grupa metod separacji i oczyszczania wodoru to technologie membranowe, stosowane od dawna m.in. do oczyszczania gazów. Do oczyszczania i separacji wodoru najczęściej stosowane są membrany polimerowe, metaliczne lub elektrolityczne.

W artykule omówiono problematykę nielegalnego poboru gazu (ang. unaccounted for gas, UAG) w oparciu o dane literaturowe. Problematyka ta znana jest nie tylko w Polsce, ale i na całym świecie. Opisano źródło problemu przeskoków liczydeł mechanicznych zgłaszanych przez odbiorców oraz przedstawiono częściowe wyniki analizy około 1400 ekspertyz wykonywanych w ramach działalności Instytutu Nafty i Gazu – Państwowego Instytutu Badawczego. Podano krótki opis sposobu postępowania podczas wykonywania ekspertyzy mechanoskopijnej z podejrzeniem wystąpienia niekontrolowanego przeskoku wskazania liczydła mechanicznego gazomierza. Oceniano występujące luzy technologiczne pomiędzy bębenkami oraz przerzutnikami dekadowymi. W dalszej części artykułu szczegółowo opisano budowę konstrukcyjną oraz wyjaśniono zasadę działania liczydła mechanicznego zarówno ze sprzęgłem magnetycznym jak i mechanicznym. W części praktycznej zawarto opis wytypowanych próbek, na których prowadzono badanie. Poza jednym wyjątkiem były to liczydła nowe, pochodzące z demontażu z gazomierzy, ze wskazaniem początkowym bliskim lub równym 0 m3. W dalszej części zaprezentowano szczegółowy opis konstrukcji wykonanego stanowiska badawczego podzielonego na trzy moduły badawcze. Przytoczono literaturę, na podstawie której opracowywano założenia do przebiegu testów laboratoryjnych w trakcie których symulowano pracę gazomierza w okresie zimowym dla domu ogrzewanego kotłem gazowym z zasobnikiem ciepłej wody użytkowej (CWU) oraz płytą gazową przeznaczoną do przygotowywania posiłków. Cykle badawcze były tak dostosowane, aby odzwierciedlić pracę gazomierzy o wielkości G4 (zakres pomiarowy 0,04–6,0 m3/h), które są najczęściej stosowane w gospodarstwach domowych. Testy wykonano w temperaturze pokojowej z zakresu 25°C(±5°C). Napędzanie liczydeł trwało przez 7 miesięcy przy średnim strumieniu około 4 m3/h. Zasymulowano średnie zużycie 2000 m3, co odzwierciedla pracę gazomierza przez okres około 10 lat. We wnioskach zawarto analizę otrzymanych rezultatów, z których wynika, że przeskok liczydła mechanicznego gazomierza miechowego jest możliwy, ale tylko w specyficznych warunkach trudnych do wykazania.

The aim of this project is to support young learners development through writing stories of which effectiveness has been proved with an experimental method that is appropriate for the social-emotional attainments and indicators in curriculum of early childhood defined by Ministry of Education in 2012. Another aim of the project is to write story books which will be as a guide for the parents who are in need of being directed and for the teachers working in this field. Some examples given in the genres of fairy tales and stories through some esthetic messages emotions and actions of the character of the book and the solutions found for the problems in the story are the good examples for young learners to be emulated for daily life. Therefore writing literary books for children is a very significant matter which great importance should be attached to. The people who are going to write books for children should know the developmental aspects of children, understand their spirit deeply, pay attention to their likes. These people should also give examples through using simple and fluent language and write the books with a natural manner of narration. Only such writers can make the children face with the characters and the fictions which emulate them for something in a positive way. But today as the child books in the market are taken into consideration it is easily seen that most of the books have been written by unqualified people with a commercial concern. Early childhood teachers working in the field and the parents have trouble in choosing quality books. There is a great need of quality books which should be written appropriately for the attainments and the indicators defined in the current curriculum of Ministry of Education. Moreover this study will meet such need. ln this study, experimental and control group will be used for pre-test and post-test. The study was held in the Pre-school of Buca Avukat İlhan Ege. Twenty children were involved in control group and the other twenty children were involved in experimental group. Also the study was applied in class environment and lasted for 10 sessions. The effectiveness of the child books was measured through gained data.
Poczytaj mi Tato!, czyli o roli ojca w edukacji czytelniczej dziecka
Authors: Walczak-Niewiadomska Agata
Published: July 2022

Nie od dziś wiadomo, iż lepsze wyniki w czytelnictwie osiągają dzieci, które nawyku sięgania po książkę uczone są od urodzenia w domu rodzinnym. Liczne badania wskazują jednak na większe zaangażowanie matki w procesie inicjacji literackiej dzieci, to one najczęściej są wskazywane jako rodzic czytający bajki przed snem. W wielu kulturach wyraźny podział ról jest też często uwarunkowany społecznie i wyznaniowo. Tymczasem, jak pokazują wyniki dotychczas wprowadzonych projektów, udział ojców ma niebagatelne znaczenie dla rozwoju emocjonalnego i intelektualnego dzieci. Autorka artykułu przedstawia liczne przykłady projektów i dobrych praktyk, których celem jest wprowadzanie ojców w książkowy świat dziecka, a także zwrócenie uwagi na korzyści, jakie wynikają ze wspólnego spędzania czasu przy czytaniu. Autorka zwraca uwagę na możliwość wykorzystania projektów ukierunkowanych na współpracę z ojcami w planowaniu działalności bibliotek publicznych dla dzieci.
Assessment of Biogenic Amines in Milk and Selected Milk Products
Authors: Joshi B.H. , Kansatwad A.S. , Dhingani R.M. , Damle K.S.
Published: July 2022

Background: Biogenic amines (BAs) are low molecular weight organic bases with biological activity that are formed in foods by microbial decarboxylation of the corresponding amino acids or by transamination of aldehydes and ketones by amino acid transaminases. As these BAs are toxic and act as a spoilage indicator, their presence determines the quality of food. Methods: Milk and selected milk products were assessed for the presence of selected BAs such as histamine, tyramine, tryptamine, spermine, spermidine, cadaverine and putrescine using HPTLC. Result: It was observed that histamine, spermidine and tryptamine were present in the raw as well as pasteurized milk of cow and buffalo. Pasteurised milk found to show low concentration of tryptamine than the raw milk. Cheese was found with the presence of histamine, tryptamine and putrescine throughout the storage. Though, BAs are present within safe limit in all the milk and selected milk products but their presence indicates a serious quality concern.

Authors: Smith Carrie Jefferson , Secoy Morgan T. , Young Diane S.
Published: July 2022

Parental incarceration represents a life-altering event for children and families. This study speaks beyond the statistics, highlighting the voices of fourteen young adults who experienced parental incarceration during adolescence. Participants shared their retrospective experiences through interviews focused on the following qualitative research questions: 1) What adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) did participants identify? and 2) What supports or protective factors did participants experience? Participants identified various ACEs, with 11 out of 14 participants revealing four or more. Key areas of support include family, school, friends, and extracurricular activities. Findings have implications for practitioners assisting children and families affected by criminal justice involvement, and for organizations most likely to play a pivotal role in addressing children’s needs.
