Effect of Counseling/Modeling on Behaviour Modification of Juvenile Delinquents in Eldoret and Kakamega Rehabilitation Centres

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There is a growing concern with the growth and prevalence of Juvenile delinquents (JD) in rehabilitation centres in Kenya. Juvenile delinquency has become an intricate social problem that significantly influences all members and processes of a social structure. In January 2016, Eldoret Juvenile Remand Home alone had 155 juveniles which is its full capacity. It is against this background that this study examined psychotherapeutic interventions in behaviour modification of JD and recommended measures that would increase the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions in rehabilitation centers of JDs in Kenya. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of counseling on behaviour modification of JD in Eldoret and Kakamega rehabs. The area of study was Eldoret and Kakamega rehabs. The study adopted Merton Functional Theory of Juvenile Delinquency as the theoretical framework. The study adopted the descriptive and explanatory research survey designs. The target population was comprised of delinquents in Kakamega and Eldoret Rehabs, administrators, trainers and counselors in the rehabs and probation officers. A sample size of 149 respondents comprising of 127 JD, 13 trainers, 5 probation officers, 2 counselors and 2 administrators of the Eldoret and Kakamega rehabs participated in the study. Saturated sampling catered for the delinquents, probation officers, rehab administrators and trainers. Research instruments that were used in this study included questionnaires, interview schedule and document analysis. A Pilot study was carried out to ascertain validity and reliability of the instruments and a reliability coefficient of 0.7 was deemed acceptable. Descriptive statistical tools and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Study findings showed that counseling had a significant effect on behaviour modification. This implies that counseling is an important tool in bringing discipline among juvenile delinquents and for overall rehabilitation programmes which can enhance behaviour modification. There is therefore need for psychotherapeutic intervention at both individual and group level for delinquents so that they can change their behaviour.
Deformation lamps

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We propose a new light projection technique named 'Deformation Lamps', which adds a variety of realistic movement impressions to a static projection target. While static pictures are good at expressing spatial information about objects and events, they are not good at expressing temporal information. To overcome the deficit of a static picture, Deformation Lamps superimposes luminance motion signals onto a colorful static picture and produces an illusory, but realistic movement of the picture by fully utilizing the processing characteristics of the human visual system.
Synthesis of Ag@carbonized Polymer Dots and their Electrochemical Sensing of miRNA

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a cationic polymer with a lot of amino groups in its molecular structure that is secure, sterile, and biocompatible. However, it is difficult for PEI molecules to be directly applied in electroanalysis due to their poor electroactivity. Herein, the PEI‐based carbonized polymer nanodots (CPDs) with core‐shell structure were prepared by hydrothermal method using PEI as the precursors. The results showed that the as‐prepared PEI‐based CPDs can not only exhibit the unique properties of carbon nanodots but also inherit the properties of PEI. Subsequently, based on the strong coordination interaction between the abundant amino groups on the surface of PEI and silver ions, the electroactive Ag@carbonized polymer dots (Ag@CPDs) were prepared. Furthermore, to investigate the electrochemical behaviors and application of Ag@CPDs, the DNA molecule (double‐stranded and single‐stranded DNA) was taken as an example. It was found that the interaction of DNA with Ag@CPDs had a significant influence on the current intensity of Ag@CPDs. Based on this phenomenon, a sensitive electrochemical technique for miRNA detection was established and effectively employed to detect miRNA in human serum samples based on the discriminating effect of Ag@CPDs towards ssDNA probes and ssDNA probe/miRNA complex (dsDNA).
The importance and phases of the place branding process

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The aim of this paper is to point out to the importance of place branding and phases of the branding process in order to attract quality human resources, greater number of visitors, tourists, investments, companies and events, achieve bigger sales and find new sales channels to sell products and services. The primary aim of branding is to provide better competitive position for a place on a global level as a unique and irreplaceable location. However, branding is a long-term strategic venture which requires significant investments in terms of finances, time, knowledge and effort. All of the stated indicates that identifying and understanding key characteristics of the phases of the branding process, which are the focus of this paper, is particularly important for successful development and implementation of the branding strategy.

STUDIES ON METHODS OF NURSERY RAISING TO COMBAT COLD INJURY IN RABI RICE

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field study was conducted during rabi season 2003-04 at College Farm, Rajen­dranagar, Hyderabad, India, to evaluate the effect of low temperature and to study the methods of nursery raising and nursery management practices using rice variety JGL 1798. The treatments consisted of two methods of nursery rising- dry and wet nursery, and three nursery protection practices- without protection, protection with poly tunnel, and locally available used fertilizer bags. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Block Design with four replications. The size of the nursery plot was 2 m x 1.5 m, which was fertilized with uniform dose of 1 kg N, 1.5 kg P2O5 and 0.5 kg K2O for 100 m2 area. The minimum ambient temperature observed during nursery period in wet and dry nursery without protection was 7-19oC. The ambient temperatures in the poly tunnel protection increased by 4-5oC and with fertilizer bags the increase was 3-4oC in wet and dry nursery over control. At the time of transplant­ing, the seedlings root length in wet and dry nursery without protection was less than the nursery protected with poly tunnel and fertilizer bag. The root and shoot length was higher in wet nursery protected with poly tunnel and fertilizer bag over that of dry nursery. The grain yield of crop transplanted with wet nursery was significantly superior over that of transplanted with dry nursery. The grain yield of crop transplanted with nursery raised under poly tunnel and fertilizer bags were on par.

Factors associated with high compliance behaviour against COVID-19 in the early phase of pandemic: a cross-sectional study in 12 Asian countries

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction Regardless of having effective vaccines against COVID-19, containment measures such as enhanced physical distancing and good practice of personal hygiene remain the mainstay of controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries across Asia have imposed these containment measures to varying extents. However, residents in different countries would have a differing degree of compliance to these containment measures potentially due to differences in the level of awareness and motivation in the early phase of pandemic. Objectives In our study, we aimed to describe and correlate the level of knowledge and attitude with the level of compliance with personal hygiene and physical distancing practices among Asian countries in the early phase of pandemic. Methods A multinational cross-sectional study was carried out using electronic surveys between May and June 2020 across 14 geographical areas. Subjects aged 21 years and above were invited to participate through social media, word of mouth and electronic mail. Results Among the 2574 responses obtained, 762 (29.6%) participants were from East Asia and 1812 (70.4%) were from Southeast Asia (SEA). A greater proportion of participants from SEA will practise physical distancing as long as it takes (72.8% vs 60.6%). Having safe distancing practices such as standing more than 1 or 2 m apart (AdjOR 5.09 95% CI (1.08 to 24.01)) or more than 3 or 4 m apart (AdjOR 7.05 95% CI (1.32 to 37.67)), wearing a mask when they had influenza-like symptoms before the COVID-19 pandemic, preferring online news channels such as online news websites/applications (AdjOR 1.73 95% CI (1.21 to 2.49)) and social media (AdjOR 1.68 95% CI (1.13 to 2.50) as sources of obtaining information about COVID-19 and high psychological well-being (AdjOR 1.39 95% CI (1.04 to 1.87)) were independent factors associated with high compliance. Conclusions We found factors associated with high compliance behaviour against COVID-19 in the early phase of pandemic and it will be useful to consider them in risk assessment, communication and pandemic preparedness.
Evidence of intrinsic differences in the light scattering properties of tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Statistically significant differences were found between the tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells. CONCLUSIONS. Differences in the light scattering properties of tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells are attributed to a change in the average size of the scattering centers on the order of a few ten of nanometers. This work is relevant to the development of noninvasive optical methods for cancer diagnosis.
Cities, Texts and Social Networks, 400-1500: Experiences and Perceptions of Medieval Urban Space, ed. Caroline Goodson, Anne E. Lester and Carol Symes

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This volume of essays was born from a series of sessions at the 2007 International Medieval Congress at Leeds and, in common with other such progeny, has an uneven character. On the whole, however, the editors’ intelligent introduction and several very fine essays recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in urban history. The chief strength of the volume's introduction is that the editors not only describe and critique approaches and debates within medieval urban studies, but they also consider the place of the middle ages in the broader field of urban history. One of their goals is to get beyond the simplifications marking both older medieval urban history and more recent theories of the modern, chiefly by using the critical insights of the latter against the assumptions and conclusions of both. The annotation here is rich, the observations smart, and the broad categories suggested for moving research forward sensible. Those categories structure the volume, which is divided into sections on deliberate construction and reconstruction of the built environment; urban topographies as texts to be read and analysed; the relationship between religion and civic identity; and approaches to the exercise of agency and the mechanisms by which the urban community formed or fragmented.

Studies on the Antiasthmatic Effect and Its Mechanism of Total Alkaloids from Fritillaria pallidiflora in Guinea Pigs

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

AIM:To investigate the antiasthmatic effect and its mechanism of total alkaloids from Fritillaria pallidifora Schrenk(FPA)in guinea pigs.METHOD:The antiasthmatic effect was studied by observing the latent period of asthma induced by acetylcholine chloride and histamine phosphate in guinea pigs.By measuring the tension of guinea-pig isolated tracheal strips in vitro,we observed both influence of FPA on the basal tension and effects of FPA on the contraction induced by histamine or carbachol.RESULT:FPA 10,20,40 mg/kg were treated(ig)for 5 days.The results showed that the latent period of asthma in guinea pigs was significantly prolonged.The influence of FPA on both the basal tension and the contraction induced by histamine of guinea pig isolated tracheal smooth muscle were not significant. FPA could inhibite isolated tracheal smooth muscle contraction induced by carbachol 6 μmol/L,and its IC (50) was 14.7 mg/L.After incubated with FPA,the concentration-response curves of carbachol were shifted to the right in a concentration-dependent manner,and the maximal contractile response was not changed significantly.CONCLUSION:The results showed that the antiasthmatic effect of FPA was very significant,and its mechanism was related to the competitive antiagonism of muscarinic receptor on guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle.

Mothers' negative focus during memory‐sharing conversations is linked to negative interpretation and memory biases in young children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Parent‐guided reminiscing helps children learn how to interpret and recollect personal experiences. These interpretive abilities are important because many experiences are ambiguous, and a tendency toward negative interpretation is associated with emotional disorders. Here, we explore whether naturally‐occurring variations in parent‐guided reminiscing are associated with children's interpretation and recall of novel ambiguous events. Mothers and their children (aged 5–6 years) reminisced about three shared negative events. Next, children were read several stories that described ambiguous social situations and were asked to invent endings that involved making an inference about motives of others in the stories. Later, children were asked questions to elicit story recall. Mothers who used more negative terms during reminiscing had children who were more likely to invent negative story endings and distort story recall negatively. Thus, mothers who frame memory‐sharing conversations with children negatively might put them at risk for developing negative interpretation and memory biases.
In Situ Oxidation Study of Pt Nanoparticles on MgO(001)

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Noble metal nanoparticles supported by oxide carriers are widely employed in heterogeneous catalysis. To improve catalyst efficiency, it is important to understand oxidation processes on the atomic scale. Here, we studied oxygen-induced shape changes of Pt nanoparticles on MgO(001) by means of in situ surface X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity measurements. The X-ray results on the particle morphology were complemented by transmission electron microscopy studies. The samples were prepared by means of physical vapor deposition and differed in average particle size and lateral particle size distribution. The oxygen-induced particle shape changes were found to be independent of particle size and were characterized by the emergence of higher indexed facets. We find the bulk oxide formation to be kinetically hindered and particle size-dependent. The formed bulk oxide structures were concluded to be (110)-oriented Pt3O4 and a modified structure of (0001)-oriented α-PtO2. CO exposure of the oxidized particles did not lead to a shape change reversibility.
An Effective Algorithm for the Synthesis of Irreducible Polynomials over a Galois Fields of Arbitrary Characteristics

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The known algorithms for synthesizing irreducible polynomials have a significant drawback: their computational complexity, as a rule, exceeds the quadratic one. Moreover, consequently, as a consequence, the construction of large-degree polynomials can be implemented only on computing systems with very high performance. The proposed algorithm is base on the use of so-called fiducial grids (ladders). At each rung of the ladder, simple recurrent modular computations are performers. The purpose of the calculations is to test the irreducibility of polynomials over Galois fields of arbitrary characteristics. The number of testing steps coincides with the degree of the synthesized polynomials. Upon completion of testing, the polynomial is classifieds as either irreducible or composite. If the degree of the synthesized polynomials is small (no more than two dozen), the formation of a set of tested polynomials is carried out using the exhaustive search method. For large values of the degree, the test polynomials are generating by statistical modeling. The developed algorithm allows one to synthesize binary irreducible polynomials up to 2Kbit on personal computers of average performance
Cloning terror: the war of images, 9/11 to the present

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The phrase 'War on Terror' has quietly been retired from official usage, but it persists in the American psyche, and our understanding of it is hardly complete. Nor will it be, W. J. T. Mitchell argues, without a grasp of the images that it spawned, and that spawned it. Exploring the role of verbal and visual images in the War on Terror, Mitchell finds a conflict whose shaky metaphoric and imaginary conception has created its own reality. At the same time, Mitchell locates in the concept of clones and cloning an anxiety about new forms of image-making that has amplified the political effects of the War on Terror. and terror, he argues, share an uncanny structural resemblance, shuttling back and forth between imaginary and real, metaphoric and literal manifestations. In Mitchell's startling analysis, cloning terror emerges as the inevitable metaphor for the way in which the War on has not only helped recruit more fighters to the jihadist cause but undermined the American constitution with 'faith-based' foreign and domestic policies. Bringing together the hooded prisoners of Abu Ghraib with the cloned stormtroopers of the Star Wars saga, Mitchell draws attention to the figures of faceless anonymity that stalk the ever-shifting and unlocatable 'fronts' of the War on Terror. A striking new investigation of the role of images from our foremost scholar of iconology, Cloning Terror will expand our understanding of the visual legacy of a new kind of war and reframe our understanding of contemporary biopower and biopolitics.
Oral health assessment in school program health: who and how?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Oral health is a constitutional right, with its own national policy which guides the relevance of its interrelation to general health within the integrality principles. This manuscript aims at understanding how oral health assessment and actions are observed within the School Program Health, through a qualitative study performed in the city of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil. The sample criterion consisted of 5 nurses, 5 teachers and 5 parents. A semi-structured script was used, written and transcribed with subsequent thematic analysis. The analysis revealed three thematic categories emphasizing the need for policy empowerment and practice in order to understand the meanings of oral health within the SHP as well as to enlarge its specificity in the interdisciplinary work scenario. Thus, it is clear that for the effective functioning of the school / health relationship, it is of utmost importance that SHP policy is applied and recognized while continuously seeking to strengthen the principle of integrality and extended clinic. The study also highlights permanent education and constant need for the participants’ skill improvement so that both students’ health care and life quality can be fully promoted.
Conjugation in Escherichia coli

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Boyer, Herbert (Yale University, New Haven, Conn.). Conjugation in Escherichia coli . J. Bacteriol. 91: 1767–1772. 1966.—The sex factor of Escherichia coli K-12 was introduced into an E. coli B/r strain by circumventing the host-controlled modification and restriction incompatibilities known to exist between these closely related strains. The sexual properties of the constructed F + B strain and its Hfr derivatives were examined. These studies showed that the E. coli strain B/r F + and Hfr derivatives are similar to the E. coli strain K-12 F + and Hfr derivatives. However, the site of sex factor integration was found to be dependent on the host genome.
