Is There Lead in the Suburbs? Risk Assessment in Chicago Suburban Pediatric Practices
Authors: Binns Helen J. , LeBailly Susan A. , Poncher John , Kinsella T. Randall , Saunders Stephen E. ,   Pediatric Practice Research Group
Published: December 2021

Objective. This study was designed to determine: (1) the prevalence of elevated blood lead (BPb) levels (BPb ≥ 10 µg/dL) in Chicago suburban children attending Pediatric Practice Research Group practices at 12 and 24 months of age, and (2) the efficacy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Illinois lead exposure risk assessment questions.
Methods. Parents bringing their 1- and 2-year-old children for health supervision visits at pediatric practices completed questionnaires. BPb levels were drawn on children. Both questionnaire and an analyzable BPb level were obtained on 1393 subjects (79.2%).
Results. Only 2.1% of our sample had a venous BPb level ≥10 µg/dL (0.48 µmol/L); no subjects had a level ≥30µg/dL (1.45 µmol/L). The CDC risk assessment questions had a sensitivity of .69 and specificity of .70. Due to the low prevalence of elevated BPb levels in this sample, CDC and Illinois screening strategies had high negative predictive values (.99) and low positive predictive values (.05 and .04, respectively). However, some of the subjects with BPb levels ≥10 µg/dL were not at high risk by CDC and Illinois screening questions; 9 of 29 subjects with elevated lead levels (31%) did not respond affirmatively to any CDC risk assessment questions. The question best predicting an elevated BPb was the determination that the house the child lives in was built before 1960 (sensitivity = .83, specificity = .67). This question is not currently included in CDC or Illinois screening strategies. Screening based on the single question "Was your house built before 1960?" would have missed only five (17%) of the children with BPb levels ≥10 µg/dL. Three of these five children were among the 17.1% of 1-year-olds and 26.3% of 2-year-olds in our sample who had moved.
Conclusions. In this sample, children living in houses built before 1960 should be considered at high risk for high-dose lead exposure. Due to the high mobility of our sample, phrasing the question to include lifetime exposure (ie, Has your child ever lived in a house built before 1960?) should also be considered. Selective BPb testing of high-risk children in low-prevalence suburban areas using this question would miss few children with elevated BPb. Useful risk assessment questions in other areas and other populations may differ.
Toluene Embryopathy: Clinical Delineation and Developmental Follow-up
Authors: Arnold Georgianne L. , Kirby Russell S. , Langendoerfer Sharon , Wilkins-Haug Louise 
Published: December 2021

Objective. To expand the phenotype of toluene embryopathy.
Method. Review of case records of 35 deliveries with antenatal exposure to toluene. Six children were examined and their features are compared with previously reported cases.
Results. There were three perinatal deaths. Of the survivors, review of available data revealed a high incidence of prematurity (42%), low birth weight (52%), and microcephaly (32%). Birth weight, length, and head circumference and gestational length were significantly less than a control group closely matched for gender, race, and socioeconomic status. Follow-up pediatric evaluation revealed growth retardation (46% &lt;5th percentile for weight, 38% &lt;5th percentile for height), microcephaly (46%), and developmental delays (38%). Maternal toluene abuse of 4 or more years was positively correlated with weight &lt;5th percentile and microcephaly in childhood. The six children examined demonstrated many previously described features of toluene embryopathy including microcephaly, narrow bifrontal diameter, short palpebral fissures, hypoplastic midface, wide nasal bridge, abnormal palmar creases, and blunt fingertips. Only one of the six children examined had antepartum exposure to alcohol as well as toluene.
Conclusion. In utero exposure to toluene seems to be associated with teratogenicity in the developing fetus. A preliminary picture of toluene embryopathy is now emerging.
Differences in Child Pedestrian Injury Events by Location
Authors: Agran Phyllis F. , Winn Diane G. , Anderson Craig L. 
Published: December 2021

Objective. To compare child pedestrian injury events occurring in driveways and parking lots and at midblock and intersections with respect to characteristics and activity of the child, injury outcome measures, and characteristics of the vehicle and roadway.
Design. Descriptive case series.
Setting. Data were obtained from a multihospital/coroner monitoring system, during 2 years in an urban county, by record review and interviews.
Patients. The sample consisted of 345 pedestrians 0 through 14 years of age treated for injuries at one of the participating facilities.
Results. Eleven percent were injured in driveways, 8% in parking lots, 53% at midblock, and 28% at intersections. Median age was 2 years for driveways, 4 years for parking lots, 6 years for midblock, and 10 years for intersection. Events in driveways and parking lots had significantly more vehicles backing up, fewer automobiles, and more pedestrians with adults. Events at intersections occurred more often on streets with more than two lanes, with speed limits &gt;25 mph, and with moderate or heavy traffic than events at midblock. Sixteen percent of those injured in driveways and parking lots sustained head injury of moderate or greater severity versus 35% injured in the street.
Conclusions. Interventions to prevent child pedestrian injuries must consider normal child behavior and driver awareness as it relates to location of the events. Driveway events involve small children, larger vehicles, and backing up. Midblock events involve children too young to cross even quiet residential streets safely. Traffic controls and safe street crossing skills are measures to consider for intersection events involving older children.
PET FOOD FOUND TO OUTWEIGH REFUGEE RATIONS IN NUTRITION
Authors: L. J. F. 
Published: December 2021

LONDON, Aug. 9 (Reuters)—Dogs and cats in Western households eat food that is more nutritious than the typical rations that relief workers give refugees, British scientists say.
In a letter to the Aug. 8 issue Lancet medical journal, researchers said experiments had shown that pet food eaten by dogs and cats contained more riboflavin, niacin, vitamin A and iron than the same quantity of a typical refugee ration.
A daily refugee ration was described as about 14 ounces of cereals, 1 ounce of lentils or legumes, three-quarters of 1 ounce of oil and a small quantity of sugar.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study was to determine the peculiarities of programmed teaching of a cartwheel to boys aged 14. Material and methods. The study participants were 20 boys aged 14. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation, timing of training tasks; pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, factor analysis. Results. The analysis of similarities revealed that the program components are interrelated. Series of training tasks I, II and IV are combined into one group and provide conditions for teaching boys aged 14 a cartwheel. Conclusions. As a result of factor analysis, the study obtained a two-factor model of the teaching program where training tasks are closely connected with one another, which indicates their effective selection. Factor models of the teaching program explain 69.371% and 75.394% of the variation of results. The study found that the effectiveness of the program depends on the modes of exercise repetition. The use of the mode of exercise repetition of 6 sets 2 times each with a rest interval of 60 s increases the effectiveness of the proposed program (p <0.05).
La Relación de Investigación como una Relación entre Docentes. Una Indagación Narrativa
Authors: Caparrós Martín Ester , Martín-Alonso Diego , Sierra Nieto José Eduardo 
Published: December 2021

En las últimas décadas, la investigación cualitativa se ha abierto a metodologías que escapan al tradicional modelo experto-práctico, dado lugar a formas participativas de investigación. Un giro que, en educación, se ha concretado en diversos formatos, desde la investigación – acción a las comunidades de indagación. Bajo este escenario, hemos desarrollado una indagación narrativa que toma como foco nuestras prácticas de investigación durante el desarrollo de un estudio sobre creación curricular en una escuela de primaria. En dicha indagación, prestamos interés a las relaciones de investigación bajo el formato de investigar entre docentes, que apunta a la recursividad entre las prácticas de investigación y la docencia en la formación inicial del profesorado. Los procedimientos metodológicos utilizados han sido: las conversaciones hermenéuticas, el análisis cualitativo de los textos de campo y la (re)escritura. Tras la composición de un relato sobre la experiencia de la investigación, pasamos a señalar dos asuntos en la discusión de resultados: (i) la creación de una relación entre docentes que investigan y (ii) la escucha como disposición investigadora. El artículo finaliza ahondando en una dimensión fenomenológica de la experiencia de investigar y en sus resonancias para la docencia universitaria.

Published: December 2021

Objective. To estimate the fetal brain venous return in the complicated pregnancy.
Methods. Blood flow waveforms (BFW) in jugular vein (JV) were recorded in 162 fetuses from 13 to 40 weeks of normal gestation and in 63 growth restricted fetuses. Peak velocity in ventricular systole (S), peak velocity in early diastole which corresponds to passive ventricular filling (D), peak velocity in atria contraction with active ventricular filling (A), mean velocity (TAV) were measured and pulsatility index (PIV=S-A/TAV), systolic to diastolic ratio (S/D) were calculated.
Results. S, D, A, TAV in growth restricted fetuses were significantly greater and PIV, S/D were significantly lower than in normal fetuses after 36 weeks of gestation.
Conclusions. The results demonstrate that there are neuroprotective reactions of fetal cerebral venous blood flow after 36 weeks of gestation.

At auto serum presence one investigated IL1, IL2, IL4, IL6 and TNF6 production by mononuclear cells, infiltrating epithelium tumor of ovaries in 50 women of the patients by good-quality tumors, 30 patients by boundary tumors and 50 patients by an ovarian carcinoma.
It was established, that IL1, TNF6 and IL6 production by mononuclear cells, infiltrating epithelium tumour of ovary, grew at malignancy of good-quality tumors and decreased the differentiation degree of cells of ovarian carcinoma. At malignancy of good-quality tumours and decreasing differentiation degree of cells of ovarian carcinoma the decrease of spontaneous and stimulated production of IL2 and stimulated production of IL4 by mononuclear cells, infiltrating epithelian tumour of ovary is revealed.
The received data allow approving the increase of activity of mononuclear fagocytes, infiltrating epithelian tumor of ovarian during tumour progression, and also the decrease of T-cells activity in the 1-st and 2 types of immunity reactions in tumours of this localization.
One of the possible reasons of cells immunity decrease at a tissue level in ovarian tumour can be increased production of cytokines by mononuclears, closing immunity reactions, in particular IL6.

Wczesne włoskie koncerty klawiszowe Francesca Durantego
Authors: Palacz Julia 
Published: December 2021

Dzieła przeznaczone na solowy instrument klawiszowy z towarzyszeniem orkiestry tworzą osobny nurt w gatunku koncertu instrumentalnego, mający swoje początki w pierwszej połowie osiemnastego wieku, jak wskazują zachowane źródła. Gatunek ten, uznawany za specjalność zwłaszcza kompozytorów z krajów niemieckojęzycznych, powstawał wówczas także we Włoszech. Autorem jednych z najwcześniejszych włoskich koncertów klawiszowych był działający w Neapolu Francesco Durante (1684-1755). Podczas gdy do tej pory w literaturze uwaga poświęcana bywała jedynie Koncertowi B-dur tego kompozytora, do naszych czasów zachowały się niekompletnie jeszcze dwa inne koncerty klawesynowe jego autorstwa, nieuwzględniane dotąd przez badaczy – Koncert A-dur i Koncert C-dur. Wspólnie te trzy dzieła pozwalają zaobserwować przemiany stylistyczne, jakie w epoce Bacha i Haendla miały miejsce na terenie Włoch, a zarazem dostarczają cennych informacji na temat historii komponowania i wykonywania koncertu klawiszowego.
Nieznane tria smyczkowe Amanda Ivanschiza OSPPE (1727-1758)
Authors: Jochymczyk Maciej 
Published: December 2021

Trio smyczkowe to gatunek niezwykle popularny w II połowie XVIII wieku, jednak obecnie w dużej mierze zapomniany i pozostający w cieniu kwartetu smyczkowego. Jednym z kompozytorów, którzy tworzyli podwaliny tego gatunku był austriacki paulin, o. Amandus Ivanschiz (1727-1758). Jego rola nie została jednak dostrzeżona przez wcześniejszych badaczy ze względu na nieznajomość biografii autora i wynikające z tego błędne (znacznie późniejsze) datowanie zachowanej twórczości. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wkładu Ivanschiza w wykształcenie klasycznego tria smyczkowego, a także prezentacja sześciu niewzmiankowanych w literaturze źródeł ze zbiorów klasztoru benedyktynów w Melk (Austria), wśród których znajdują się dwa nieznane dotychczas utwory o. Amanda.
Muzyka instrumentalna kapeli kościoła farnego pw. św. Jadwigi Śląskiej w Grodzisku Wielkopolskim
Authors: Smolarek Dariusz 
Published: December 2021

Zachowane muzykalia osiemnastowiecznych kościelnych kapel muzycznych wskazują, że w ich repertuarze znajdowały się nie tylko dzieła sakralne, ale również instrumentalne. Bardzo popularnym gatunkiem były utwory zwane symfonią. Jednym z takich zasobów z utworami instrumentalnymi są nuty po kapeli muzycznej parafii św. Jadwigi Śląskiej w Grodzisku Wielkopolskim.
Autorami zachowanych symfonii byli zagraniczni kompozytorzy z kręgu szkoły mannheimskiej oraz dojrzałego kręgu klasycznego. Dla rodzimych twórców stanowili oni wzór tworzenia utworów instrumentalnych. Symfonie, jak to było w ówczesnym zwyczaju, były wykonywane również podczas liturgii. Można więc mówić o zjawisku zwanym symfonia kościelna.

​Nutritional Value and Anti-nutritional Factor’s Analyses of Five Indigenous Spices used by the Karbi Group of Assam, India
Authors: Engtipi Moromi , Raju N.L. 
Published: December 2021

Background: Uses of indigenous herbs and spices have become ubiquitous on modern culinary systems. But to date literatures on nutritional aspects of these group of plants are limited. Therefore the present study was done to evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional compositions of five indigenous spices commonly used in Karbi cuisines. The present study will help identify long forgotten multifunctional food resources which was previously neglected due to its low quantity in use. Methods: The nutritional compositions were determined according to procedures established by Association of official Analytical chemists 1990 and the anti-nutritive factors of the samples were determined according to the procedure described in the reported scientific publications. Result: The results showed appreciable amount of nutrients in Citrus macroptera Montrouz., Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers., Ocimum citriodorum Vis., Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton. and Zanthoxylum armatum DC. The energy value of these five spices showed remarkable values, with the highest value observed in Ocimum citriodorum Vis. (354.08 Kcal) and lowest in Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers. (108.67 Kcal). The moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fats, total carbohydrate and crude fibre content of the studied spices vary from 0.85-7.45%, 3.30-14.25%, 1.85-25.30%, 1.80-43.09%, 7.03-32.32% and 1.39-72.55% in range respectively. The vitamin C content was estimated highest in Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton. (34 mg/100 g) and lowest in Citrus macroptera Montrouz. (22 mg/100g). The phytate (17.22-18.85 mg/100 g), oxalate (10.15-12.42 mg/100 g), tannin (9.45-11.61 mg/100 g) and saponin (8.82-10.55 mg/100 g) contents were very low and hence these spices are less toxic for human consumptions.

Published: December 2021

Background: The development of local Bali cattle in ex-situ areas allow for the formation of new qualitative phenotypic characteristics. The aim of this study is to characterize Bali cattle that have been created in Jambi Province’s ex-situ environment in several of rearing areas. Methods: A research sample of 478 Bali cattle from Muaro Jambi (MJB) district, Sarolangun (SLG) district, Tanjung Jabung Timur (TJT) District, Jambi City (KJB) and PTPN VI were surveyed. The qualitative phenotype characteristic observed were pattern of head color, dominant head color, inner-ear color, forehead color, side-lip color, horn shape, body-color pattern, dominant body color, back-line color, under-belly color, sock color, rump color and tail color. The frequency and percentage of each qualitative characteristic were calculated using the PROC FREQ function of SAS software version 9.0, resulting in a cross-tabulation of the qualitative characteristics observed in Bali cattle at various locations. Then, PROC CORESP performs multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) between the qualitative characteristics of the variables. The resulting plot depicts the graphical relationship between variables. Result: Research results based on sex showed that only white lower lip and black inner ear were characteristic of the head found to be common, while black backline, light-brown underbelly, white rump and black tail hair were common characteristics for the body. Head phenotype based on district showed that white lower lip and white-black inner ear could be found in male Bali cattle while white lower lip and abnormal horn characteristic could be found in females. Body characteristic analysis showed three-color pattern to be common in male Bali cattle while black backline, white feet and white rump were common characteristics found in females. These characteristics can therefore be seen as differentiating characteristics between sex and district of origin of Bali cattle.

Published: December 2021

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of communication skills training on improving marital intimacy and reducing marital conflicts among young couples using a cognitive behavioural therapy approach. Data were collected from a sample of 20 couples in Iran who were selected by purposive sampling method. To select them, first, they had to complete at least 2 years of marriage and, second, they should be willing to voluntarily participate in our training course. The selected sample was divided into experiment and control groups using the random assignment method based on a pre-test–post-test plan. The experimental group was trained in communication skills training via 8 weekly based sessions. During this period, no intervention was given to the control group. The hypothesis analyses using the covariance analysis showed that the communication skills training enhanced marital intimacy and reduced marital conflicts in all levels. The findings showed that CBT-based communication skills training can positively affect the family relationship between young couples.

Authors: Rahmi Nurul Aulia , Akbar Izaak Zoelkarnain , Ilmi Bahrul , Noor Meitria Syahadatina , Adhani Rosihan 
Published: December 2021

The population is expected to increase by 8,5 billion persons in 2030 and 10,9 billion persons in 2100, population is growing at a rate of around 1,1% per year. One of population growth control by birth control with contraception. The most effective contraception is long-acting contraception, however, on IDHS (Indonesian Health Demographic Survey) only 13% of currently married women use long-acting contraception. Many factors affect contraceptive use among married women, such as knowledge, education, and husband’s support. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of knowledge, education, and husband's support on the selection of MKJP. This study used meta-analysis with the search engines by Google scholar, PUBMED, science direct, and ProQuest. The study was selected using PRISMA and it was evaluated by AMSTAR. Data synthesis was conducted by STATA 16.0. The results of this study obtained by knowledge [OR = 0,99; 95% Cl : 0,90-1,08, p = 0,000; I2 = 74,8%], education [OR = 0,84; 95% Cl : 0,77-0,92, p = 0,000; I2 = 86,3%], and husband’s [OR = 0,94; 95% Cl : 0,69-1,20, p = 0,000; I2 = 81,5%]. This means that knowledge, education, and husband’s support have an impact on the use of long-acting contraception.
