description: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic disease that contributes to urinary incontinence (UI) in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of stable pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training with transverse abdominal muscle for pregnancy-specific UI in patients with GDM. This was a randomised controlled trial. A total of 73 pregnant women with GDM and pregnancy-specific UI were screened, 35 of whom received stable PFM training with transverse abdominal muscle in the second trimester. After six weeks of training, UI status was assessed by the quantity of fluid loss and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire short form (ICI-Q-SF), and the quality of life was evaluated by the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire score. Additionally, the thickness of the transverse abdominal muscle was measured by ultrasonography. At 6 weeks later, the quantity of fluid loss and ICI-Q-SF score were significantly lower, and the overall healing rate was significantly higher in the training group than those in the control group. The training also significantly improved the quality of life, especially in terms of behavioural limitation and psychosocial impact. Additionally, the thickness of transverse abdominal muscle under the status of maximal contractions of transverse abdominal muscle and PFM was significantly higher in the training group than in the control group after 6 weeks. Stable PMF training with transverse abdominal muscle alleviated UI and improved the quality of life in patients with GDM. The thickening of transverse abdominal muscle induced by the training contributes to the remission of UI through the cooperation of PMF. Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder that is associated with the occurrence of pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. Stable pelvic floor training with transverse abdominal muscles exhibits therapeutic potential for urinary incontinence during pregnancy. The present study showed that the training alleviated urinary incontinence and improved the quality of life of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus in late pregnancy. Additionally, the training thickened transverse abdominal muscle, and the cooperation of transverse abdominal muscle with pelvic floor muscle is beneficial for the remission of urinary incontinence. Overall, stable pelvic floor training with transverse abdominal muscle is a promising strategy for the treatment of pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

description: The concept of function is one of the most important ideas in the learning of mathematics (Dubinsky & Harel, 1992). Yet it is considered by many researchers to be the least understood by high-school and college students (Breidenbach, Dubinsky, Hawks, & Nichols, 1992; Sfard, 1992). Reforming early mathematics curricula in algebra, therefore, is justified. To this end, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2000) called for a longitudinal view of algebra, from elementary to advanced mathematics education. As a strand in the Rutgers-Kenilworth longitudinal study in 1993, Robert B. Davis introduced early algebra ideas to eleven-year-old students during the sixth grade. Research prior to Davis’ intervention with the students showed how they built their understanding of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions (Spang, 2009; Giordano, 2008; Mayansky, 2007). Building on Davis’ approach to early algebra and the learning of function, Emily Dann designed a study to determine whether these students, now seventh graders, could extend their understanding to the concept of inverse function. The present study analyzes videotaped work of seventh-grade students who were engaged in a series of activities that Dann had devised.The Guess-My-Rule activities, as they were called, were conducted over three consecutive days. Using the model that Powell, Francisco, and Maher (2003) described for analyzing videotaped data, this study examines in detail the students’ work as they collaborated in small groups to develop rules for function and inverse; the study also investigates the obstacles students had experienced.    This research demonstrates that seventh-graders understood the idea of function by writing rules, symbolically, to describe the relationships of quantities. Understanding function as action, they progressed to the process concept when creating their own function tables and corresponding rules. Using inverse operations, students wrote inverse rules; however, due to difficulties with integer and fraction arithmetic, they needed to adjust their initial attempts in order to be successful. This study maintains that having facility with function and inverse function concepts will permit students to learn the subject matter, to communicate ideas and solutions, and to interconnect mathematical ideas. In the process of exploring these related concepts, students will be encouraged to think independently and to devise original strategies in their work with function and inverse.  The results demonstrate to researchers and educators how students build the concepts of function and of inverse function through group work in a specific environment. Seventh-grade students can engage in activities, similar to those described above, that are essential to the study of algebra.
Between two cultures within one race

description: Despite the rich body of literature on dealing with the question of boundaries between Koreans and the “outside world” such as other races and ethnicities, and even studies that dissect issues between the first generation Korean immigrants and second generation Korean-Americans, there has been relatively little attention paid to the invisible boundaries existing within one race, one ethnicity: the Korean-Americans. Through an ethnographical and socio-psychological approach, the research provides a snippet of various tensions that are created within the Korean church communities. However, not only does this research focus on mere culture and religious issues, but it also touches upon cultural identity and assimilation within one society, namely the Korean church community, by observing various  modes of literacy. The paper shows how literacy is not merely used for communication purposes, but also as a social practice, which forms different identities within one cultural group. This study examines 1.5 and 2nd generation Korean-American young adults within two Korean churches in Pennsylvania, USA within a two year span of observation. In reflecting how boundaries can exist within one culture and religion, this study illuminates the need to blur the distinction or separation of Koreans through the terminologies, “1.5 generation” and “2nd generation,” especially more so within a religious place where we must not merely say that we are brothers and sisters of Christ, but act and feel like one body under one church.

Note. This species was described from a single ♀ specimen deposited in the Tschitschérine Collection (ZIRA). Straneo & Vereshagina (1991) compared the HTs of Blennidus tardus and Blennidus anxius noting some consistent differences; later Straneo (1993) considered B. tardus a synonym of B. anxius, evaluating the differences between the 2 HT as intraspecific variability. Our study of the HTs of both species emphasized some evident differences, mainly in the morphology of pronotum; therefore we prefer to keep these species separate, in agreement with Lorenz (2005a).

description: The binding between a fluorescent water-soluble Zn(II) complex of {2-[N-(2-hydroxyethylammonioethyl) imino methyl] phenol} and calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was investigated using spectroscopic techniques. The complex was prepared and identified by FT-IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The significant changes in the absorption and the circular dichroism spectra of ct-DNA in the presence of the Zn(II) complex implied the interaction between the Zn(II) complex and ct-DNA. Upon addition of ct-DNA, the fluorescence emission intensity of the Zn(II) complex was increased and indicated the interaction between the Zn(II) complex and ct-DNA was occurred. The binding constant values (Kb) resulted from fluorescence spectra clearly showed the Zn(II) complex affinity to ct-DNA. The fluorescence studies also approved the static enhancement mechanism in the Zn(II) complex-DNA complexation process. The thermodynamic profile exhibited the exothermic and spontaneous formation of ct-DNA-Zn(II) complex system via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The competitive fluorescence investigation by methylene blue (MB), and Hoechst 33258 demonstrated that the Zn(II) complex could replace the DNA-bound Hoechst and bind to the minor groove binding site in ct-DNA. The viscosity changes were negligible, representing the Zn(II) complex binding to DNA via the groove binding mode. Molecular docking simulation affirmed that the Zn(II) complex is located in the minor groove of ct-DNA near the DG12, DA17, DA18, and DG16 nucleobases.

Hannah Arendt, in and on America
Creators: name: Genovese, Lois M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) captured the interest and imagination of scholars and the literati by developing two important concepts: totalitarianism and the banality of evil which influenced the second half of 20th century political thinking and has continued to permeate political and social theories and cultural descriptions.  Her theories and analyses provided questions and answers which caution us today on both foreign and public policies and issues of governance and power. Quotes from Arendt’s writings could easily be the subtext for most front page headlines as her range of ideas extended from the social (segregation and education) to the most esoteric philosophic and political systems. This paper will introduce the unique contributions of Hannah Arendt’s major theories and present an overview of Arendt’s important mid-twentieth century political theories formulated while in America, the nation she adopted, and will offer examples of their importance today. Hannah Arendt’s body of work, much of which was translated from German, her native language, into English (and other languages) with continuous reprinting and some revised editions, has become essential scholarship. Three selections have been consistently cited as her major works: The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), The Human Condition (1958), and Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). This research relied upon recent publications of Arendt’s essays, interviews, lectures, and correspondence, most interestingly, Arendt’s correspondence with her teacher, philosopher Karl Jaspers, from 1926 until Jaspers’ death in 1967.  Arendt’s letters were consulted to and from her husband, Heinrich Blucher, (1936-1968) which provided Arendt with essential intellectual support. They were both professors and members of the New York intelligentsia. The correspondence between Arendt and American writer, Mary McCarthy, (1949-1975) provided Arendt with not only the comradeship between confidants, but also a quiet and trusted therapy needed and respected by each woman. Hannah Arendt’s written and spoken words will form the basis of this presentation.

description: Classical homocystinuria is an inborn amino acid metabolism disorder resulting from mutations in the Cystathionine-β-Synthase (CBS) gene. These mutations lead to elevated homocysteine and methionine levels and reduced cysteine levels in the blood. Typically, diagnosis occurs after patients display symptoms, and various lab methods confirm it. DNA sequencing is the best option for early detection of genetic variants in asymptomatic suspected individuals. Unfortunately, its high cost can hinder its use, especially in low-income countries like Pakistan. Aim of this study was to devise a robust low-cost diagnostic/screening assay based on Tetra-ARMS-PCR for five prevalent genetic variants found in Pakistani classical homocystinuria patients. In the current study, T-ARMS-PCR assays were developed for five mutations (c.975G > C, c.770C > T, c.752T > C, c.1039 + 1G > T, c.451 + 1GG > TA), which were characterized previously in classical homocystinuria patients. These low-cost T-ARMS-PCR assays were then used to screen the affected individuals and their family members to identify their genotypes for pathogenic variations in the asymptomatic patients and carriers in their respective families. The outcomes were entirely consistent with those obtained from Sanger DNA sequencing, confirming the sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of the T-ARMS-PCR assay for detecting CBS mutations. T-ARMS-PCR has wide applications for low-income countries for the screening and early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients and carriers in the homocystinuria affected families as well as other inherited diseases.

It is argued above that the name of this variety is to be changed to S. inconstans var. inconstans Dendy, 1887 as this is indicated as the nominotypical variety which must bear the name of the species (ICZN art. 46-47). The present nominotypical variety and the next one below are proposed to be merged into a single taxon, as the differences between the two are negligible, and the locality of the two is the same (Rameswaram Island, Gulf of Mannar, approximate coordinates 13.08°N 80.3°E, lectotype BMNH 1887.8.4.2, one paralectotype in the Madras Museum, now Government Museum, Chennai, cf. Vosmaer 1911: 18). The species is to be named Spheciospongia inconstans (Dendy, 1887).

description: Many risk factors in uterine fibroid development have been identified, but women and their physicians are less aware of the influence of lifestyle on uterine fibroid development. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate and summarize modifiable prognostic factors associated with uterine fibroid development. Pubmed and Embase were searched for relevant articles according to PRISMA guidelines. References from included articles were screened and when relevant also included. Human in vivo studies on modifiable factors in fibroid development were included. Studies on non-modifiable factors and treatment, in vitro studies and animal studies were excluded. 607 articles were screened and 33 articles were included. Two independent investigators collected data from the report. The strongest risk factor for fibroid development was a high BMI, while the strongest protective factors were a high fruit and vegetable intake and high vitamin D intake. More high-quality studies are necessary to better understand the impact of the abovementioned factors as well as the role they play in the growth of already existing fibroids. Uterine fibroid development is multifactorial. Various non-modifiable and modifiable factors have been linked to uterine fibroid development. Modifiable factors are controllable by patients themselves. We performed a systematic review to investigate these modifiable factors. We screened 607 articles from 2 databases (PubMed and Embase) of which 33 were included in the review. We only included clinical studies on humans. A high body mass index (BMI) is found to be a modifiable risk factor for uterine fibroid development. Protective of uterine fibroid development are high fruit and vegetable intake and high vitamin D intake or sun exposure. More research is needed to investigate the applicability of these findings in clinical practice and to investigate the influence on the growth of already existing uterine fibroids.

description: Plasmodium vivax is the second most common Plasmodium parasite causing clinically serious symptoms and death from malaria. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Human leukocyte antigen molecules are responsible for presenting foreign antigens to T cells. Polymorphisms in HLA genes affect antigen presentation. HLA alleles involved in the presentation of P. vivax antigens affect the antibody response. The present study aimed to reveal the relationship of rs3077 and rs9277535 polymorphisms in HLA-DP genes with malaria caused by P. vivax for the first time in the worldwide. In the present research, rs3077 and rs9277535 polymorphisms were investigated in a case–control study of 124 patients with P. vivax-induced malaria and 211 healthy persons by using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that the G alleles of rs3077 and rs9277535 polymorphisms were detected as protective alleles, while the A alleles of both polymorphisms increase the risk of susceptibility to malaria disease. The results of the present study showed that both polymorphisms have a major effect on the susceptibility to malaria caused by P. vivax. We recommend that this study should be conducted in a different population with a larger sample size to confirm our results.
The moderating effects of absorption in facilitating recall in the cognitive interview

description: The Cognitive Interview (hereafter, CI) was created with the weaknesses associated with a standard police interview in mind (Geiselman, Fisher, Hutton, Sullivan, Avetissian, & Prosk, 1984). Ineffective tactics such as interrupting a witness, asking leading questions, and asking closed-ended questions are absent from the CI. Instead, the CI builds on Tulving’s (1974) idea that there are several retrieval paths to memory for an event.  The CI utilizes a number of mnemonics to help facilitate recall. These include, reinstatement of the context, reporting everything, recalling events in a different order, and changing perspectives.  The CI employs techniques similar to interviews involving a hypnotic induction (e.g., reinstating the context), while at the same time avoiding some of the pitfalls involved in hypnosis. Examples of the problems inherent in hypnotically enhanced interviews include an increase in confabulations and error rates (Diamond, 1980) and an increased likelihood of viewing distorted memories as accurate (Orne, 1961; Sheehan & Tilden, 1983). In addition, the CI avoids some of the legal problems which surround the use of hypnosis (Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, and Holland, 1985a). Past research has shown a link between a trait known as absorption (openness to experience) and hypnosis (Glisky, Tataryn, Tobias, Kihlstrom, & McConkey, 1991; Roche & McConkey, 1990). Given the similarities between hypnosis and the CI, it was expected there would be a similar correlation between performance on the CI and the moderator variable Absorption. A week following watching a short video, participants were administered either a Cognitive Interview or Structured Interview (control interview) to measure recall in a second recall interview. Contrary to past research, the CI and SI were not significantly different in the number of correct details they produced. Consistent with previous research, equal levels of accuracy were found in the CI and SI conditions. The SI elicited slightly more incorrect and confabulated details than the CI. Although the study failed to replicate the superiority of the CI, correlational findings indicated that absorption was correlated with correct details in Recall 2 in the CI condition. A relationship between correct details recalled and absorption was not found in the control condition.

description: This study focuses on Filipinos' perspectives toward traditional Christmas celebrations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the significance of cultural values and resilience. Using a descriptive study approach, 100 respondents of Kensington 21, Lancaster New City, were polled online using quota sampling. The data show how Filipinos altered cultural traditions like Simbang Gabi, caroling, and family reunions in the midst of pandemic limitations such as social separation, travel prohibitions, and limited gathering capacity. Financial difficulties (35%), family problem (20%), health worries (15%), and mental and emotional health issues (5%) were common challenges encountered, however respondents shown exceptional inventiveness in celebrating through the means of virtual alternatives and small-scale meetings. Vaccination had an important role, with 74% fully vaccinated and preferences for Pfizer (50%), Sinovac (35%), and Moderna 15%. The study emphasizes Filipino communities' resilience in retaining traditions while exploring new methods to connect and enjoy. The study also shows the need of preserving cultural identity, encouraging vaccination, and developing communal togetherness. Recommendations include creating inclusive legislation, employing technology for festivities, and improving community resilience during times of crisis to ensure the future viability of Filipino Christmas customs.

description: A biopsychosocial approach to the understanding of pelvic pain is increasingly acknowledged. However, there is a lack of standardised instruments – or their use – to assess risk factors and their impact on pelvic pain in both clinical and research settings. This review aims to identify validated tools used to assess known contributory factors to pelvic pain, as well as the validated tools to measure the impact of pelvic pain in adolescents and young adults, in order to provide a framework for future standardised, adolescent specific assessment and outcome tools. Literature searches were performed in MEDLINE, PsycInfo and PubMed. Search terms included pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, endometriosis, adolescent, pain measurement, quality of life, sleep, mental health, coping strategies and traumatic experience. We found validated instruments to assess adverse childhood experiences and coping strategies, both known contributing factors to pelvic pain. The impact of pain was measured through validated tools for health-related quality of life, mental health and sleep. Pelvic pain evaluation in adolescents should include a multi-factorial assessment of contributing factors, such as childhood adversity and coping strategies, and impacts of pelvic pain on quality of life, mental health and sleep, using validated instruments in this age group. Future research should focus on the development of consensus amongst researchers as well as input from young women to establish a standardised international approach to clinical trials involving the investigation and reporting of pelvic pain in adolescents. This would facilitate comparison between studies and contribute to improved quality of care delivered to patients. Pelvic pain is pain located in the lower abdomen, and includes period pain, which is the most common gynaecologic condition in adolescents and young adults. An approach that includes biological, psychological and social factors is important to understand and manage pelvic pain. Nonetheless, these factors are often poorly assessed in the clinic and research setting. We performed a literature review to identify tools that measure risk factors for pelvic pain, and those that evaluate the impact of pelvic pain. We found instruments that measure exposure to childhood trauma and coping strategies, which are risk factors for developing pelvic pain. We found tools to assess quality of life, mental health and sleep as an impact of pelvic pain. A standardised approach to pelvic pain, including instruments to measure risk factors and impact of pelvic pain, would facilitate comparison between studies and improve quality of care for patients.

Type area. Peru.
Examined material. HT ♂ (CLu at ZIRA).
Note. This species was described from a single ♂ specimen deposited in the Lutshnik Collection (ZIRA). While Straneo (1993) was not able to examine it, we had this opportunity but unfortunately the type specimen lacks the aedeagus. In the original description Lutshnik (1927) stated the presence of two dorsal pores on the 3rd elytral interval: actually our study of the HT showed the presence of a single pore, a feature exclusively shared with two other species from Peru, B. idioderus and B. olivaceus, which also share the feature of a distinct greenish elytral lustre.

Timea crassa; sensu Lévi, 1952: 46, fig. 10.
Not: Topsent 1900: 120.
I list here a complicated case (see also below under Timea hallezi var. crassa), based on a mistake made by Lévi (1952: 44–46) on Timea material from Senegal. He described T. crassa as similar to the species described by Topsent (1925b), but Topsent based his name on the original combination Hymedesmia hallezi var. crassa Topsent, 1900. This taxon was later elevated by Topsent (1925b: 6) to species rank as Timea crassa with several slight differentiations. The improved description was not based on the type material from the Channel area, but on new specimens collected in the Étang de Thau, an inland lake branched off from the Mediterranean. Apart from differentiated small spicules (interpreted as ‘juvenile’) and large asters, he also noted that the tylostyles of the type were more robust, than those of the Mediterranean specimens. Lévi (1952) not only described Senegalese material from Baie de Hannan, 14.7167°N 17.4297°W, depth 17–18 m, as T. crassa, but also described an apparently different Timea taxon as T. hallezi var. crassa from Pointe Bernard, Dakar, Senegal (14.6541°N 17,43°W, no depth provided) as if that would be different from T. crassa. Nomenclaturally, Timea hallezi var. crassa sensu Lévi, 1952 (cf. below) must be called T. crassa (Topsent, 1900), and the present T. crassa sensu Lévi, 1952 must have a new name. I propose Timea levii nom.nov. to replace the present combination. Type material has not been ascertained, but it should be in MNHN; type locality is Baie de Hannan, Senegal.

The species was described by Hoshino from Uchinoura, Japan, 31.2417°N 131.0833°E, depth 15 m (holotype Mukaishima Marine Biological Station, MMBS SAT-063). The name combination is a junior primary homonym of Aaptos aaptos var. nigra Topsent, 1934 (and of the unavailable Aaptos aaptos var. nigra Lévi, 1961b) (cf. above). As indicated above Hoshino’s name must be replaced (ICZN art. 60) to remove the homonymy and Aaptos hoshinoi nom.nov. is proposed.

Hymedesmia unistellata var. aspera Topsent, 1904: 112, pl. XII fig. 7.
Timea unistellata var. aspera; Topsent 1928: 36; Lehnert & Heimler 2001: 218.
The variety was described by Topsent from Prince Albert 1 er Monaco Cruises Stat. 899, Azores, 37.95°N 29.233°W, depth 200 m (type material in the Monaco Museum and slides in the Paris Museum). The variety was largely ignored by authors reporting on the sponges from the Azores (e.g. Topsent 1928; Boury-Esnault & Lopes 1985) and the Western Mediterranean (e.g. Pulitzer-Finali 1983). Differences with the typical variety of Hymedesmia unistellata Topsent (1892: xxvii, from Cap l’Abeille, Banyuls, S of France, 42.4778°N 3.1556°E, holotype MNHN DT 2446) noted by Topsent were longer and thicker tylostyles (up to 1400 µm vs up to 400 µm) and asters have spined rays vs. smooth. The latter difference is probably not tenable, but the tylostyle size difference was reason for Lehnert & Heimler (2001) to key out the present variety as a separate taxon. Furthermore, the thin encrustations of both the present and the typical variety differ as the present variety is hispid, whereas the typical variety is “almost” smooth (confirmed by Pulitzer 1983). The two major differences, the hispid surface and much longer and thicker tylostyles appear sufficient to indicate specific difference and accordingly I propose to recognize the present variety as Timea aspera (Topsent, 1904).
