Authors: K. P. Shyna , M. Veena Kumari , K. Divya Krishnan , V. K. Abdul Azeez 
Published: February 2018

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is increasing in prevalence among children globally and in India. Allergens are factors which trigger allergic rhinitis. Skin prick test (SPT) is a rapid, sensitive and cost effective test to detect IgE- mediated allergic diseases. Identification of common aeroallergens in an area is necessary, in order to educate the patient on what allergens to avoid and also help find the best formulation of allergen immunotherapy for effective AR treatment. This study was done to find the clinical profile and skin sensitivity to common allergens by skin prick test in children with allergic rhinitis between six and fifteen years.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016. All children between 6 to 15 years with allergic rhinitis were included in the study. Skin prick test was done with seven most common allergens.Results: A total of 60 children with allergic rhinitis were studied and 42 patients (70%) tested positive for SPT. The major symptoms were persistent sneezing (68%), nasal itching (33%), rhinorrhea (85%) and nasal congestion (42%). The proportion of sneezers-runners was higher than blockers (64% versus 36). We tested seven common allergens and house dust mite allergen yielded the highest number of positive responses (33%) followed by cockroach (25%), alternaria (16.66%), parthenium (10%), cat dander (8.35%), sorghum (5%) and dog dander (5%). Among patients with SPT positivity; eight were positive to one allergen, thirteen were positive to two allergens, sixteen to three allergens and five to four allergens.Conclusions: Allergic Rhinitis with a number of allergic co morbidities has a significant impact on the quality of life and scholastic performance in children. Skin prick test which is a standardized, most rapid, sensitive and cost-effective test to detect IgE-mediated allergic diseases is helpful in identifying the common allergens. House dust mite is the commonest allergen tested positive in our study in children.

The effect of black and green
tea on viscosity and sensory characteristics of drinking yoghurt was
investigated. Two tea infusion concentrations (2% and 4%) were used in the
study whereas drinking yoghurt without any additive was the control sample. The
highest viscosity values were determined in control sample while there were no
significant differences among the drinking yoghurts supplemented with tea
extracts except 14th day. Addition of tea at a ratio of 4% adversely
affected the taste scores when compared to the ratio of 2%. Drinking yoghurt
infused by 2% green tea had similar colour and texture values to that of
control sample. There were no statistically differences between samples
supplemented with 2% either black or green tea in terms of
overall acceptability.

Published: February 2018

Knapp, Andrew. Let’s Find Momo. Quirk Books, 2017.This hide-and-seek board book is the latest from photographer, Andrew Knapp and his extremely photogenic border collie named Momo. The black and white border collie loves hiding and invites young readers to find itself and other objects. Left-hand pages list three different objects and Momo who are hidden in the corresponding right pages. Each page explores different environments along with objects that are typically found therein, but not always. For instance, in the library, readers are tasked to find a lollipop, a banana, a balloon, and Momo.Similar to Where’s Waldo, this picture book allows readers to find objects and the cute little dog that does his very best at staying hidden. The border collie takes readers on many adventures such as to a merry-go-round, gymnasium, garden, bedroom, and even a farm. With themes carefully selected, they provide a wide range of new words for young readers to learn. Each location is beautifully photographed with vibrant colours and unique angles while, at the same time, teaches new vocabulary to young children, aged 2-4.

Rez Rebel by M. Florence
Authors: Quaiattini Andrea 
Published: February 2018

Florence, Melanie. Rez Rebel. James Lorimer & Company, 2017.Narrated by Floyd Twofeathers, a young Cree teenager living on the fictional Bitter Lake Reserve, Rez Rebel sheds important and much-needed light onto the suicide crisis faced by Indigenous communities across Canada.Suicides on Bitter Lake Reserve are rampant. Though Floyd occupies a position of status in his community, with his father being the hereditary chief and his mother a traditional healer, he is not immune from the tragedy—his best friend Aaron had committed suicide. However, after a suicide pact leaves four young girls dead, Floyd’s father struggles to find a solution to help his community and its young people find opportunities and support. Floyd and his friends believe that by sharing their own talents and skills (writing, drawing, sports) with their peers, and giving kids the opportunity to learn their traditional knowledge and practices from the Elders, that this will help turn their community around. When Floyd tries to bring these ideas to his father, he is ignored. It is only with a bold act, and another suicide threat that brings about meaningful change on Bitter Lake Reserve.Given the timeliness of the subject matter, and the lack of books on this topic, this is a much-needed novel. However, the overall story itself is a bit uneven. The book opens with the suicide crisis, and the reader can feel the tension and urgency of the situation. There is a lengthy description of Aaron’s suicide, as well as a crisis in Floyd’s family that may be upsetting or triggering to some readers. The middle of the book loses a bit of its focus, with chapters showing Floyd and his friends being teenagers—hanging out, fishing, falling in love—with little connection to the broader plot. The final quarter of the story reconnects the reader with the suicide crisis and Floyd’s solution for his community. The prose and tone are realistic—teenagers will see themselves in the characters, and the language is simple and accessible.This book would do well in the young adult section of public libraries, as well as in junior high and high school libraries.

Published: February 2018

Este artigo abrangerá questões referentes a preservação do patrimônio cultural tendo como foco o papel da Educação Patrimonial nos trabalhos arqueológicos tratados durante o Mini Curso ministrados pelos autores na Segunda Semana de Arqueologia da UNICAMP. Apesar das exigências de Educação Patrimonial em licenciamentos ambientais, com pesquisas cada vez mais crescentes, não há diretrizes ou especificações que orientem estas ações, que podem ser elaboradas de formas variadas. Na atual conjuntura, vemos que a Educação Patrimonial não deve se limitar a atividades pontuais ou promocionais aos empreendimentos, mas, sobretudo, fomentar a construção coletiva do conhecimento e a autonomia dos sujeitos. Assim, neste artigo iremos elaborar uma análise sobre os desafios da Educação Patrimonial nas ações de licenciamento arqueológico, contribuindo para novas práticas educativas encaradas como ações político-sociais. E como tais assuntos foram tratados durante o Mini Curso.

Este artigo apresenta os dados de dois abrigos rupestres popularmente denominados como “Os abrigos do Cera “, localizados na Serra de Aquidauna, sudoeste do Estado de Mato grosso do Sul. Trata-se da primeira escavação sistemática nesta área de pesquisa. A datação pelo método de Temoluminescência de um dos fragmentos cerâmicos do abrigo Aquidauna IV a : foi de 690+ ou 80 BP. A pesquisa faz uma detalhada arqueografia das evidências arqueológicas presentes nos abrigos e aponta os primeiros elementos que os configurem na paisagem. Dessa forma pretendemos apontar que sua inserção na paisagem pode ser diagnosticada dentro de escolhas e representações simbólicas presentes nos abrigos sob rocha, como partes constitutivas da construção social integrada na paisagem, consolidando-se na cultura material. Dessa forma pretendemos ampliar nossa percepção dentro de questões e possibilidades estabelecendo “Diálogos entre paisagens e Arqueologia (s)”.
Nanofluid Precoating: An Effective Method To Reduce Fines Migration in Radial Systems Saturated With Two Mobile Immiscible Fluids
Authors: Yuan Bin , Moghanloo Rouzbeh Ghanbarnezhad 
Published: February 2018

Summary
Prediction of how nanofluid applications can potentially control fines migration in porous media saturated with two immiscible fluids requires a mechanistic modeling approach. We develop analytic solutions to evaluate the efficiency of nanofluid utilization to reduce fines migration in systems saturated with two immiscible fluids.
In this study, fines migration in the radial-flow system saturated with two immiscible fluids (oil and water) is considered; two capture mechanisms of fine particles—fines attachment and straining—are incorporated into the modeling work. The analytic solution is derived by implementing the splitting method and stream-function transformation to convert a 2 × 2 (nonhomogeneous) system of equations into an equation with a fine-particle component (nanoparticle effects) and a lifting equation in which only water saturation appears. Through quantitative comparison of suspended fines and water-saturation-profile plots, the accuracy of the analytic solution is verified with finite-difference numerical solutions.
Saturation c-shock and saturation s-shock appear in the analytical solutions. The fines migration and consequent phenomena (fines attachment, fines straining, and fines suspension) decelerate the breakthrough of the injected fluids (better sweep efficiency) and increase the corresponding front saturation of the injected fluid near the wellbore—i.e., larger relative permeability (better injectivity). The results suggest that fines attachment onto the grain surface and well injectivity are enhanced after nanofluid pretreatment; moreover, the smallest radius to be pretreated by nanofluid is approximated to maintain its benefits.
In practice, our analytic approach provides a valuable mathematical structure to evaluate how nanoparticle usage can enhance performance of water-based enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) techniques in reservoirs with a fines-migration issue.
Analyses of 2D transient models for vaporous cavitating flows in reservoir-pipeline-valve systems

Published: February 2018

AbstractThe two-dimensional (2D) axial-symmetric model is applied to investigate the transient cavitating flows in the reservoir-pipeline-valve (RPV) system. Firstly, the MacCormack scheme is used to solve the governing equations, and compared to the numerical results of the one-dimensional (1D) model, the 2D head peaks and time-dependent evolutions predicted by five-region turbulence model in the frozen form are in better agreement with the experimental results, and the comparisons show that the maximum head relative errors of the 2D model are generally smaller than those of the 1D model. Then, further numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the performances of different turbulence models incorporated in the 2D model. The comparisons between the numerical results and the experimental ones show the head curves of the two-region turbulence model are similar to those of the five-region turbulence model, which indicates that the transient cavitating flows are insensitive to the magnitude and distribution of the eddy viscosity in the core region. In addition, the sensitivity to the quasi-steady form and the frozen form of the five-region turbulence model is implemented in the 2D model; the numerical results predicted by the two forms both agree better with the experimental results, as the non-dimensional parameter P increases.

Introduction. The difference which nature has placed between one man and another is so wide. Also, the difference which comes by religion, cultural habits and similar elements in the human life can be further enlarged by education. During the last ten years, interethnic relations in Macedonian educational system become central topic for the activity of educational policy makers. In that line, the novelty of this research lies in the designing of student practicum by making cross-cultural contacts in the sphere of education.
Methods. Macedonian government's programs and legal framework promote interethnic communication, but implementation of principles as respect, tolerance, and acceptance in the school life still is reduced only on using different languages of ethnic communities in teaching process. At the same time, appears the need to enhancing teachers' capacities for work in a multicultural environment and ensuring all children receive a high-quality education.
Results. The results of the research show that informal education activities can encourage a thinking process as intellectual instrument for extermination prejudices related interethnic communication through the closer contact and interaction between the students, teachers and parents in the school environment.
Discussion. It is certainly very difficult to set balancing between variety of behaviours, dictated by the presumed needs of specific cultures, religions and beliefs, but the classroom should be common home for all students and the teacher should know to manage such relationship.

Introduction. The study examines the relationship between facial configuration and assessing personality traits. Objective determinants of interpersonal perception, such as facial types, a model’s age and gender, the mode and duration of exposure of facial photographs, etc., are well elaborated in domestic and foreign studies. However, questions remain about how facial structure and also the observer's personality characteristics determine the perception of individual psychological characteristics through facial photographs.
Methods. The study employed the comparative analysis of evaluations of individual psychological characteristics by facial photographs by the scales of the Personal Differential Questionnaire in combination with multidirectional transformations of photographs of neutral faces.
Results. A systematic variation of four configuration variables – location of the mouth and eyes, nose length, and pupillary distance – not only causes weak persistent impressions of joy or sadness, but also changes ideas about individual psychological traits. The induced joy was associated with the positive poles of the scales of the Personal Differential Questionnaire; the induced sadness was associated with the negative poles of its scales. Directional transformations had different impacts on ideas about the components of the implicit structure of personality – evaluation, potency, and activity. Extraversion was more often associated with female faces, while the perceived dominance/subordination – with male faces. The observed patterns modified under the influence of facial morphotypes and the observer’s self-assessment.
Discussion. The research findings confirm an overgeneralization of weak emotional states when perceiving neutral faces and indicate a close association between overgeneralization and the observer’s self-concept.
In conclusion: a multidirectional variation of the configuration variables of emotionally neutral faces selectively affects the perception of personality traits. The observer’s sympathy/antipathy and also his/her individual psychological features play a special role in assessing the personality characteristics through facial expressions.

Introduction. Psychological adaptation and behaviour strategies are system characteristics of the individual making him/her effective and able to work. The paper deals with coping as a way of effective adaptation to various situations. The present study introduces a comparison of socio-psychological adaptation in groups with different indices of constructive behaviour.
Materials and Methods. Adaptation characteristics in individuals with different coping strategies were measured using (a) the socio-psychological adaptation technique by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, (b) the Prognoz-2 Questionnaire for Mental Stability Assessment by V. Yu. Rybnikov, (c) and the Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SACS) developed by S. Hobfoll (adapted by N. E. Vodop'yanova and E. S. Starchenkova). The study involved 51 production enterprise employees.
Results. A consistent analysis of differences took place in the sample groups with different constructiveness indices. The study results showed (a) no high stability among the respondents, (b) predominance of high scores of constructive behaviour among women, (c) predominance of low scores of constructive behaviour among men, (d) the relationship among high scores of constructive behaviour, a higher adaptation level, and high mental stability. The study revealed a factor for psychological health resources, which included: (a) the index of constructive behaviour, (b) adaptation and adaptability, (c) acceptance of others and stress tolerance.
Discussion. The findings confirm the results in other studies of the relationship among adaptation, stress tolerance, and constructive strategies of behaviour. The factor for psychological health resources demonstrates the statistical dependence of the relationship among positive factors of psychological health. A low general level of adaptation, mental tolerance, and also constructive behaviour among the respondents suggests that socio-psychological adaptation is determined not only by the feelings of satisfaction with life, work, and family relations, but also other factors.
Relaciones entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico, en alumnos de Educación Primaria
Authors: Peralta Sánchez Francisco Javier , Sánchez Roda María Dolores 
Published: February 2018

Introducción. El autoconcepto como percepción que cada uno tiene de sí mismo es un componente del desarrollo de la personalidad. Los objetivos que nos proponemos se fundamentan en comprobar el grado de asociación y de predicción entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico, así como determinar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario SDQ. Método. La muestra estuvo formada por 245 alumnos de la Etapa de Educación Primaria de la provincia de Almería (España) que cursan sus estudios en centros docentes públicos y concertados. Obtuvimos datos relativos al autoconcepto de los mismos a través del la aplicación del cuestionario SDQ, así como de su rendimiento escolar a través de las calificaciones otorgadas por sus profesores. Tras contrastar la estructura factorial de la escala, establecimos los niveles de asociación y predicción, entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico. Resultados. Se obtiene una estructura factorial del cuestionario similar a la obtenida por Elexpru y unos índices de fiabilidad adecuados. Detectamos una estrecha relación entre el autoconcepto académico y las medidas de rendimiento académico. Además se ha constatado que el autoconcepto total y el autoconcepto académico son buenos predictores del rendimiento general. Discusión. Nuestros resultados, en la edad de la muestra utilizada y en este estudio particular, apoyan la idea de que el autoconcepto total predice el rendimiento académico, dándose el hecho de que el autoconcepto no académico predice de forma negativa el logro escolar (en lengua y matemáticas), mientras que el autoconcepto académico predice de forma potente y positiva tanto el logro general, como el de lengua y el de matemáticas. Consideramos que es necesario dar un tra-tamiento adecuado y suficiente al autoconcepto y a la autoestima y que se debe ofrecer al profesorado orientaciones metodológicas para trabajarlos a lo largo de todo el proceso educativo.
