Investigation of Participation Motivation in Sports Activities of Children With Need Special Education

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Education is expected to help individuals to be developed at the highest level by revealing their hidden powers and abilities. Inadequacy and disability of children in need of special education; regardless of the basic right of education at any age must be done absolute education service. Sports is one of the important factors that helps children with need special education to take their places in daily life, to connect them to life by socializing, to orient themselves with motivation and to accept the idea that disability is not an obstacle to continue living. In this study, it was aimed to determine sport participation motivation levels of children who need special education according to some variables. Method; descriptive survey model from quantitative research methods was used in the research. A total of 60 (20 Girls, 40 Boys) students from Mersin special education practice schools participated in the study. In the research, a personal information form prepared by the researchers and the "Scale of Motivation for Participation in Sports in Persons with Disabilities (SMPSPD)" developed by Tekkurşun, İlhan, Esentürk and Kan (2018) were used as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the data obtained in the research; frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation as well as t-test, Pearson Moment Correlation, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. According to the findings; The mean scores of internal and external motivation of students who participated in sports activities were significantly higher than those who did not participate in sports activities. While there was no significant difference according to gender, a positive significant difference was found between the age and intrinsic motivation level of the students. As a result; It can be concluded that students who need special education have high motivation to participate in sports.
High-accuracy (e, 2e) cross sections for helium: reference data in the first Born approximation

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The authors present new high-accuracy (6-7%) absolute measurements of the triple differential cross sections for ionisation of helium by 4 and 8 keV electron impact, obtained at small ejected-electron energies and small and intermediate momentum transfer values. When reduced to generalised oscillator strengths, the 4 and 8 keV data are indistinguishable from each other. Also, comparison is made with the three most recent and accurate first Born calculations, and it is concluded that this approximation is certainly valid under the present kinematics. The authors therefore suggest that these data should be used as a standard against which future lower-energy calculations should be calibrated.
Efficacy of Antibiotic Regimens for Sepsis or Possible Serious Bacterial Infection in Young Infants Aged 0 to 59 Days: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

CONTEXT Sepsis is a leading cause of young infant mortality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of different antibiotic regimens to treat young infant sepsis or possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) on clinical outcomes. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, World Health Organization Global Index Medicus, Cochrane Central Registry of Trials. STUDY SELECTION We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of young infants 0 to 59 days with sepsis or PBSI (population) comparing the efficacy of antibiotic regimens (intervention) with alternate regimens or management (control) on clinical outcomes. DATA EXTRACTION We extracted data and assessed risk of bias in duplicate. We performed random-effects meta-analysis, and used Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation to assess certainty of evidence. RESULTS Of 2390 publications, we included 41 RCTs (n = 18 054). Thirty-five trials were hospital-based and 6 were nonhospital-based. Meta-analysis of 4 trials demonstrated similar rates of treatment success with intramuscular/intravenous third generation cephalosporins versus intramuscular/intravenous penicillin or ampicillin + gentamicin (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.93–1.13]; n = 1083; moderate certainty of evidence). Meta-analysis of 3 trials demonstrated similar rates of treatment failure with oral amoxicillin + intramuscular gentamicin versus intramuscular penicillin + gentamicin for nonhospital treatment of clinical severe illness (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.72–1.02]; n = 5054; low certainty of evidence). Other studies were heterogeneous. LIMITATIONS RCTs evaluated heterogeneous regimens, limiting our ability to pool data. CONCLUSIONS We found limited evidence to support any single antibiotic regimen as superior to alternate regimens to treat young infant sepsis or PSBI.
Impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on interventional cardiology training in the United States

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objectives We sought to determine the effect of COVID‐19 related reduction in elective cardiac procedures and acute coronary syndrome presentations on interventional cardiology (IC) training. Background The COVID‐19 pandemic has significantly disrupted healthcare in the United States, including cardiovascular services. The impact of COVID‐19 on IC fellow training in the United States has not been assessed. Methods The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) surveyed IC fellows training in both accredited and advanced non‐accredited programs, as well as their program directors (PD). Results Responses were received from 135 IC fellows and 152 PD. All respondents noted reductions in procedural volumes beginning in March 2020. At that time, only 43% of IC fellows had performed >250 PCI. If restrictions were lifted by May 15, 2020 78% of IC fellows believed they would perform >250 PCI, but fell to only 70% if restrictions persisted until the end of the academic year. 49% of IC fellows felt that their procedural competency was impaired by COVID‐19, while 97% of PD believed that IC fellows would be procedurally competent at the end of their training. Most IC fellows (65%) noted increased stress at work and at home, and many felt that job searches and/or existing offers were adversely affected by the pandemic. Conclusion The COVID‐19 pandemic has substantially affected IC training in the United States, with many fellows at risk of not satisfying current program procedural requirements. These observations support a move to review current IC program requirements and develop mitigation strategies to supplement gaps in education related to reduced procedural volume.
Introduction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Making the argument that leather archives and certain strands of contemporary queer artistic practice are bound up with one another, and that each gives the other meanings that enrich and deepen their respective significance to their own times, communities, and even, to culture at large, the introduction sets out to define the book's critical terms—chiefly, leather and archives. Leather, for the purposes of this text, is proposed as a diverse sexual ecology that privileges fucking and improvisatory play, genital and non-genital pleasure, rules and their effacement—all under the rubric of a seemingly static visual iconography, which in actuality is always in the process of being amended, shored, repurposed, and obliterated. Eschewing the metonymic linguistic figuration of 'the archive,' the introduction argues for taking a more on-the-ground approach to assessing and working with archives. A work by queer/non-binary artist Roy A. Martinez, a comic strip by leather artist Bill Ward, and the online archive 'The Colors of Leather' are discussed as brief case studies.
Reduced Intensity Conditioning Compared With Myeloablative Conditioning Using Unrelated Donor Transplants in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose Reduced intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) is increasingly used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Unrelated donor (UD) transplants have more complications. We wanted to examine if RIC is a valid treatment option using UD in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Patients and Methods Between 1999 and 2005, 401 patients with AML were treated with RIC and 1,154 received myeloablative conditioning (MAC), using UD and reported to the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry. Patients < and ≥ 50 years of age were analyzed separately. Results Patients receiving RIC were older, received transplants more recently, received peripheral blood stem cells more frequently, and were treated with total-body irradiation less often. In multivariable analysis, in patients younger than 50 years of age, nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was similar using RIC (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; P = .41), relapse was increased (HR, 1.46; P = .02) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) was the same (HR, 0.88; P = .28), as compared with MAC. In patients ≥ 50 years of age, NRM was decreased in the RIC group (HR, 0.64; P = .04), relapse probability was not significantly different (HR, 1.34; P = .16) and LFS was similar (HR, 1.04; P = .79) compared with MAC. Conclusion RIC-UD transplants are associated with higher relapse in AML patients younger than 50 years of age and decreased NRM in those ≥ 50 years compared with MAC-UD. LFS was similar after both conditioning regimens, regardless of age. Therefore, RIC-UD extend the use of allotransplants for elderly patients and strategies that decrease relapse should be considered mainly in younger patients with AML.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

An analysis of the efficacy of ADLE to relieve BPH showed that the ethanol extract grown in autumn exhibited the highest inhibitory ability of the androgen-signaling related factors in vitro. ADLE also inhibited the expression of growth factors by inhibiting the expression of the androgen-signaling related factors in vivo. Overall, ADLE is proposed as a functional food that is effective in preventing BPH.
BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS Effects of antigen-retrieval pretreatments for immunohistochemical detection of Akabane viral antigen

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Effects of various antigen-retrieval pretreatment techniques for immunohistochemical detection of Akabane virus antigen were examined with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues taken from mice in- tracerebrally inoculated with the virus. The results indicated that no pretreatment is necessary for the detection of the antigen, and excessive enzymatic pretreatment of sections may lead to false-negative results.

Multilevel Psychic Distance and its Impact on SME Internationalization

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

We expand the conceptualization of psychic distance and use a multilevel framework by studying it as a founder’s psychic distance in the pre-entry phase of entering a specific foreign market, and the SMEs (firm) psychic distance in the post-entry phase of entering that specific foreign market. Based on qualitative research involving six SMEs’ with 18 internationalization events, we found that psychic distance at country and business levels causes difficulties for SMEs in the post-entry phase because of their lack of knowledge. Bridge-makers possessing knowledge about target markets help SMEs to overcome psychic distance challenges. Trust in the relationship with the bridge-maker is an important ingredient to gain knowledge that alleviates the SMEs’ psychic distance challenges. Finally, we go beyond country-business levels of psychic distance by showing that psychic distance also matters at bridge-maker level. This relates to their lack of knowledge about the target market and SMEs’ routines.

The objective of final year project is to develop a Simulink toolbox for GPS receiver. It incorporates Simulink and Matlab functions. The toolbox can be used for academic demonstration as well as algorithm investigation. The report covers the introduction, design and implementation of GPS receiver toolbox. It acquires, processes digitized GPS signals, and eventually plots out the geographical location of receiver in latitude-longitude coordinate system. The program consists of four segments: probeData, acquisition, tracking and positioning. As a whole they work closely with each other to process signals, on the other hand each segment is able to run its own provided the inputs are stored in files beforehand. In the end the simulation results of whole program as well as individual segment are displayed and discussed.
Influence of percutaneous transcatheter correction of mitral regurgitation on chronic heart failure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ВВЕДЕНИЕ

Патология митрального клапана занимает второе место среди всех клапанных пороков. Распространенность митральной регургитации (МР) значительно возрастает, что связано с увеличением возраста популяции и количеством коморбидных пациентов. В настоящее время активно развивается альтернативный открытому вмешательству метод коррекции МР — транскатетерная пластика митрального клапана.

ЦЕЛЬ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ

Оценить влияние чрескожной транскатетерной коррекции МР на течение хронической сердечной недостаточности (ХСН).

МАТЕРИАЛ И МЕТОДЫ

В исследование включены 43 пациента, проходившие лечение в ФГБУ «Национальный медицинский исследовательский центр кардиологии им. акад. Е.И. Чазова» Минздрава России, которые имели манифестную ХСН II—IV функционального класса (ФК) по классификации NYHA и МР III—IV степени. Больным была выполнена транскатетерная пластика митрального клапана. Всем пациентам до имплантации устройства и через 6 мес наблюдения проводились следующие исследования: 12-канальная электрокардиография, трансторакальная эхокардиография, тест 6-минутной ходьбы (ТШХ), определение уровня NT-proBNP.

РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ

Медиана возраста пациентов составила 72,5 [65,8; 83,0] года, 58,1% — мужчины. Все оперативные вмешательства прошли успешно. Зафиксировано всего 4 (9,3%) летальных исхода, из них 1 — во время госпитализации, 3 — в течение периода наблюдения. Через полгода наблюдения зарегистрировано снижение среднего ФК ХСН с 2,79±0,6 до 1,89±0,8 (p<0,001), повышение толерантности к физической нагрузке [удлинение дистанции ТШХ с 259,4±105,4 до 370,7±108,6 м (p=0,02)], уменьшение потребности в диуретической терапии [с 40,00 (20,00; 80,00) до 20,00 (10,00; 40,00), p=0,02, в перерасчете на фуросемид], тенденция к снижению уровня мозгового натрийуретического пропептида (NTproBNP) с 1295,00 (783,20; 3506,00) до 1251,00 (435,75; 1940) пг/мл, p=0,09. Через 6 мес МР I и II степени наблюдалось у 33 (86,8%) пациентов, III степени — у 5 (13,2%). Клиническое улучшение течения ХСН отмечалось как у пациентов с первичной, так и со вторичной МР.

ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ

Результаты наблюдения пациентов с ХСН после проведенной транскатетерной коррекции МР демонстрируют стойкое снижение МР, сопровождающееся значительным клиническим улучшением, увеличением толерантности к физической нагрузке, снижением потребности в диуретической терапии.
Glucose dysregulation in advanced Parkinson's Disease: too much glucose or not enough insulin?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background and aims: Glucose metabolism has recently been reported to be altered in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) as a non-motor consequence of the disease. Since insulin pancreatic production and secretion is modulated by the autonomic nervous system, the severity of dysautonomia in PD could be linked with blood glucose dysregulation. We aimed to detect changes in glucose regulation in PD patients compared to healthy controls in response to oral glucose intake.
Methods: Blood glucose and insulin kinetics during a 75-g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test were compared between 50 PD patients and 50 healthy controls (CT) matched for Body Mass Index (BMI), age and sex. Potential relationships between changes in glucose kinetics and clinical parameters were analyzed including PD severity and autonomic function using SCOPA-AUT (Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease, Autonomic dysfunction).
Results: Blood glucose was significantly higher at T90 (p=0.04) and T150 (p=0.01) in PD patients compared to CT. Moreover, the total area under time curve for blood glucose was significantly higher in PD patients compared to healthy controls (1187±229 vs 1101±201 mmol.min.l-1; p=0.05). Simultaneously, no significant increase of insulin levels was observed in PD patients compared to controls. Higher blood glucose levels were associated with higher BMI (p<0.001), female gender (p<0.033), longer duration of PD (p=0.001), lower dose of dopaminergic treatment (p=0.023), and higher score of dysautonomia (p=0.017).
Conclusion: Glucose control is impaired in advanced nondiabetic PD patients, due to impaired adaptive insulin response which may be a novel non-motor consequence of PD associated dysautonomia.
Insulin Resistance and Contrainsular Response in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: The number of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is progressively increasing all over the world. Over the past three decades, the global burden of diabetes has increased from 30 million in 1985 to 382 million in 2015, and current trends indicate that the prevalence of diabetes grows progressively. The phenomenon of insulin resistance established in the majority of type 2 DM (T2DM) patients. T2DM is associated with β-cell deficiency, α-cell resistance to insulin, and reduced effects of incretin. However, the role of insulin and glucagon in the process of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients is a matter of debate. AIM: Our study aims to estimate insulin resistance and the contrainsular response in patients with T2DM and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: The 104 T2DM patients aged 18–70 years participated in the observational study carried out in the Karaganda regional cardiosurgery hospital and ambulatory. The first group included 37 patients hospitalized for ACS in the first 24 h of admission. The second group included 67 patients without ACS. Determination of insulin resistance and contrainsular response was provided using a multiplex immunological assay with XMap technology on Bioplex 3D. RESULTS: During the research, we have discovered a decreased level of glucagon and increased homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in patients with T2DM diabetes and ACS. Evaluation of traditional correlation interactions of HOMA-IR and indicators of carbohydrate metabolism showed a positive correlation with fasting plasma glucose in both study groups (Group 1: R = 0.47, p = 0.003; Group 2: R = 0.41, p = 0.024). Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 has a weak positive correlation with HOMA-IR only in the first group (R = 0.32, p = 0.006). Increased insulin resistance was associated with high GLP-1 levels and low glucagon. The logistic regression model established that an increased HOMA-IR index rises the chance of ACS by 10.6% (OR = 1.106 [95% CI 1.105–1.206], p = 0,021). The logistic regression model, reflecting the relation between glucagon and ACS, shows that increased glucagon reduces the ACS odds (OR = 0.989 [95% CI 0.979–0.999], p = 0.026). The adjusted regression model showed no significant influence of early presented factors on the probability of ACS. CONCLUSION: There is a trend toward elevated HOMA-IR insulin resistance index and decreased level of glucagon in diabetic patients with ACS.
Framework to aid analysis and interpretation of ongoing COVID-19 research

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The global coronavirus pandemic has precipitated a rapid unprecedented research response, including investigations into risk factors for COVID-19 infection, severity, or death. However, results from this research have produced heterogeneous findings, including articles published in Wellcome Open Research. Here, we use ethnicity, obesity, and smoking as illustrative examples to demonstrate how a research question can produce very different answers depending on how it is framed. For example, these factors can be both strongly associated or have a null association with death due to COVID-19, even when using the same dataset and statistical modelling. Highlighting the reasons underpinning this apparent paradox provides an important framework for reporting and interpreting ongoing COVID-19 research.
The Experience of Home Health Care: Perceptions of Older Adults

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Changes in the health care delivery system resulting in increased need for home health services have led to greater involvement of public health nurses in defining practice and developing research in this area. Gaining an understanding of the experience of home health care from the perspective of frail older clients was the purpose of this investigation. An ethnographic study was conducted with nine older adults recently discharged from home health services. Analysis of data generated in home interviews revealed three major themes related to the experience of home health care: nursing care, health problems, and independence. Informants emphasized the reassurance and support given by nurses, yet did not readily identify teaching as part of the nurses' role. Several health problems were mentioned, emphasizing the experience of declining health and loss of independence. Although initially assistive, home health care was perceived to support dependency as the patients became more well and able to undertake self‐care.
