Published: July 2024

IntroductionCaregiver training is a key component of rehabilitation for children with complex lifelong disabilities such as cerebral palsy. However critical shortages of therapists in low- and middle-income countries like Malawi, reduce access to therapy. Introducing expert caregivers to assist with the provision of basic training on the condition for fellow caregivers offers a potential solution. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the implementation of such strategies in low-resource settings. The aim of this study was to explore perspectives of stakeholders regarding the feasibility of implementing a caregiver-led and delivered training program for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in Malawi.MethodsOver 5 days in January 2023, a caregiver-led training program, the “Malamulele Onward Carer-to-Carer Training Program,” was conducted in Blantyre, Malawi. A South African master trainer traveled to Malawi and delivered the program to potential stakeholders including caregivers of children with cerebral palsy; physiotherapists; and community-based organization representatives. Stakeholder perspectives regarding the acceptability, demand, practicality and adaptation of the program were obtained through a combination of focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and daily field notes. Data from the focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsThe caregiver-led training program was deemed acceptable despite two areas identified as potential areas of concern; that the expert caregivers may cross practice boundaries and that their fellow caregivers may look down upon them. A demand for this program was expressed because of perceived relative advantages and relevance to caregiver needs. Participants indicated that the intervention could be easily delivered using local materials, absorbed and supported by existing community structures.ConclusionA caregiver-led training program offers an innovative way of supporting caregivers of children with complex disabilities such as cerebral palsy in low-resource settings. The stakeholder engagement demonstrated the positive perspectives of all stakeholders. The areas for modification and adaptation highlighted by the stakeholders will be useful in strengthening the implementation of the program in Malawi.

BackgroundPhysical inactivity negatively affects gait performance and postural stability in older adults resulting in a higher risk of fall accidents. Previous research has shown that in-person dance training improves various aspects of balance and lower-extremity function, however, little is known about the potential benefits of dance training delivered online on variables used for fall risk stratification in older adults. We aimed to explore the benefits of a 12-week online dance training intervention on static and dynamic postural stability and gait speed in older women.MethodsForty-five older adults (44 women) were included in this exploratory pre-post study. The 12-week dance intervention consisted of two weekly 60-min classes in contemporary (improvisation) and salsa dance delivered online through Zoom video calls. Static and dynamic postural stability was assessed using the center of pressure (CoP) area and velocity (force platform), and the Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest), respectively. 10-m gait speed was measured using photo gates. Before and after comparisons were performed using paired sample t-tests.ResultsThirty-two older women completed the study. There were no significant changes for static postural stability assessed by CoP area or velocity (P ≥ 0.218, Cohen d ≤ 0.234). The Mini-BESTest total score was significantly improved at post-intervention (23.88 ± 3.01) compared to baseline (22.56 ± 1.41, P = 0.007, d = 0.52). 10-m gait speed was significantly faster at post-intervention (1.68 ± 0.25 m/s) compared to baseline (1.57 ± 0.22 m/s, P &lt; 0.001, d = 0.737).DiscussionAlthough some caution is needed due to the uncontrolled study design, the results indicate that online dance training has a small effect on static postural stability but may be beneficial for gait speed and in particular dynamic postural control among older women. While the absolute increase in gait speed suggests limited clinical relevance, the change in Mini-BESTest score may reflect a clinically meaningful enhancement of dynamic postural control.

Lipoxygenase (LOX) is associated with responses to plant hormones, environmental stresses, and signaling substances. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment triggers the production of LOX, polyphenol oxidase, and protease inhibitors in various plants, producing resistance to herbivory. To examine the response of MtLOX24 to MeJA, the phenotypic and physiological changes in Medicago truncatula MtLOX24 overexpression and lox mutant plants were investigated. Additionally, wild-type R108, the MtLOX24-overexpressing line L4, and the mutant lox-1 were utilized as experimental materials to characterize the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and metabolic pathways in response to MeJA. The results indicate that after treatment with 200 µM of MeJA, the damage in the mutants lox-1 and lox-2 was more serious than in the overexpressing lines L4 and L6, with more significant leaf wilting, yellowing, and oxidative damage in lox-1 and lox-2. Exogenous application of MeJA induced H2O2 production and POD activity but reduced CAT activity in the lox mutants. Transcriptome analysis revealed 10,238 DEGs in six libraries of normal-growing groups (cR108, cL4, and clox1) and MeJA-treated groups (R108, L4, and lox1). GO and KEGG functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that under normal growth conditions, the DEGs between the cL4 vs. cR108 and the clox-1 vs. cR108 groups were primarily enriched in signaling pathways such as plant–pathogen interactions, flavonoid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, the MAPK signaling pathway, and glutathione metabolism. The DEGs of the R108 vs. cR108 and L4 vs. cL4 groups after MeJA treatment were mainly enriched in glutathione metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, the MAPK signaling pathway, circadian rhythm, and α-linolenic acid metabolism. Among them, under normal growth conditions, genes like PTI5, PR1, HSPs, PALs, CAD, CCoAOMT, and CYPs showed significant differences between L4 and the wild type, suggesting that the expression of these genes is impacted by MtLOX24 overexpression. CDPKs, CaMCMLs, IFS, JAZ, and other genes were also significantly different between L4 and the wild type upon MeJA treatment, suggesting that they might be important genes involved in JA signaling. This study provides a reference for the study of the response mechanism of MtLOX24 under MeJA signaling.
Concerning Transformations of Bases Associated with Unimodular diag(1, −1, −1)-Matrices

Published: July 2024

Considering a representation space for a group of unimodular diag(1, −1, −1)-matrices, we construct several bases whose elements are eigenfunctions of Casimir infinitesimal operators related to a reduction in the group to some one-parameter subgroups. Finding the kernels of base transformation integral operators in terms of special functions, we consider the compositions of some of these transformations. Since composition is a ‘closed’ operation on the set of base transformations, we obtain some integral relations for the special functions involved in the above kernels.

В 2022 году впервые появилась информация о новой аномалии голштинского скота. Телята, гомозиготные носители аномалии, не могут встать на ноги после рождения, 52% таких носителей гибнут в возрасте до 18 мес. Так называемый синдром мышечной слабости (HMW) встречается в популяции голштинского скота у 17% животных. Рецессивный гаплотип, приводящий к повышенной смертности молодняка, локализован на хромосоме 16, в гене CACNA1S. Нами разработана и успешно апробирована, с использованием образца, полученного от известного носителя, тест-система на основе аллель-специфической ПЦР для выявления синдрома мышечной слабости. Проанализированы данные племенного учета коров и телок из 3 племенных хозяйств Краснодарского края (n=7616). Носителями синдрома мышечной слабости являются свыше 5,5% животных. Проведенное генотипирование выборки коров (n=25) быкопроизводящей группы по локусу CACNA1S выявило 28% носителей. Аномалия HMW голштинского скота имеет опасный уровень распространения в субпопуляции Краснодарского края и, на наш взгляд, требует ограничения использования быков-носителей HMW.
In 2022, information about a new anomaly in Holstein cattle first appeared. Calves who are homozygous carriers of the anomaly cannot stand on their feet after birth; 52% of calves with such carriers die before the age of 18 months. The so-called muscle weakness syndrome (HMW) occurs in 17% of the Holstein cattle population. The recessive haplotype, leading to increased mortality of calves, is localized on chromosome 16, in the CACNA1S gene. A test system based on allele-specific PCR was developed and successfully tested, using a sample obtained from a known carrier, to detect “muscle weakness” syndrome. Data from breeding records of cows and heifers from three breeding farms in the Krasnodar region (n=7616) were analyzed. Over 5.5% of animals are probably carriers of muscle weakness syndrome. Genotyping of a sample (n=25) of the bull-producing group of animals at the CACNA1S locus revealed 28% of carriers. The anomaly of HMW Holstein cattle has a dangerous level of distribution in the subpopulation of the Krasnodar Territory and, in our opinion, requires limiting the use of bulls carrying HMW.

ROLE AND NATURE OF EVIDENCE: FORENSIC INSIGHT
Authors: Bakhtiar Handar Subhandi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Evidence plays a pivotal role across legal, scientific, and academic domains, serving as the linchpin in distinguishing guilt from innocence. In criminal investigations, it guides law enforcement, unraveling narratives and holding perpetrators accountable. However, with the complexity of crimes, evidence can take various forms, and the clarity of accuracy may be uncertain. This study aims to investigate the diverse types of evidence and sorting procedures crucial for proving crimes. The results of this study indicate that evidence plays a crucial role in determining guilt or innocence, especially in criminal cases. Various evidence types create a nuanced dynamic in proving cases, each with distinct characteristics influencing the proof process. Sorting evidence, whether individually or through comparison, becomes pivotal in identifying the most relevant elements for legal determinations.

Salah satu unsur yang harus ada dalam negara hukum dan demokrasi adalah perlindungan hak asasi manusia, termasuk perlindungan anak, yang akan menentukan masa depan negara Indonesia dan menjamin generasi penerus memiliki peraturan yang jelas. Menerima hak dalam hal ini di bawah perlindungan hukum. Prinsip perlindungan anak merupakan prinsip tanpa kekerasan yang menitikberatkan pada kepentingan anak dan hak atas perlindungan kehidupan, kesejahteraan, tumbuh kembang anak, termasuk anak yang melakukan kejahatan. Penilitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif yaitu penelitian hukum yang meletakkan hukum sebagai sebuah bangunan sistem norma. Sistem peradilan pidana anak digunakan oleh penegak hukum untuk memutuskan sanksi pidana terhadap anak yang melakukan tindak pidana atau anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum. Kepentingan terbaik anak harus menjadi prioritas utama dalam pemidaan anak. Namun menurut Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak. Peradilan Pidana Anak berada di bawah ruang lingkup Peradilan Umum. Dalam menyelesaikan prosedur pengalihan dan keadilan restoratif yang sesuai dengan ketentuan perundang-undangan untuk anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum. Upaya penyelesaian menggunakan metode mediasi, konsiliasi, dan restitusi secara bersamaan untuk menyatukan pihak dengan penyelesaian. Oleh karena itu, kasus anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum wajib diusahakan untuk tidak melibatkan proses peradilan. Sebaliknya, kasus tersebut dialihkan ke luar proses peradilan (non-litigasi).

Language and Mind: A Study in Psycholinguistics
Authors: Admin Admin 
Published: July 2024

The researchers either as Psycholinguistics scientists, linguists and others, agree about the fact of language acquisition, but they disagree in their interpretation to this process. They also have multiple views about that because of disagreement in theoretical trends that they issue about it, which forms their vision of what can be subdivided from that of concepts and models.
The two most notable theoretical trends that affected the study of language and thinking, language and acquisition are: The structural behavioral trend with its psychological and linguistic theories, as well as the cognitive rational direction which is represented by the views of Chomsky and Steven Pinker, who adopted this trend.
This study considers language as a gift for the humans, according to Chomsky, man is born provided by the programmed knowledge initially, or a basic plan for language, it was also said that there are some restrictions which are considered to be as a foundation for language acquisition, which is accompanied by a small system of media / (the variables), which are similar to a list of the available choices, that languages differ in installing their values.
