Parental Involvement: A Response to Children with Disability’s Education

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Drawing on the fact that education of children is a human right issue, the study explored parent’s involvement in the education of their children with disabilities. Using quantitative research methodology, 166 respondents were sampled from two selected basic schools in Koforidua, Ghana. Results indicated that, often the demand on parents such as time, work, house chores, and many other commitments impede their preference to be involved in their children’s education. The school activities most parents involved themselves in are the Parent Teachers Association’s (P.T.A.) meetings. This is because parents do not see themselves as having interest in many of the other activities children in school are involved in. Equally, though some parents from poor background may want to educate their child with disability, the cost involved in educating the child is high. Evidence showed that there was a moderate level of parents’ involvement in the education of their children with disability and that the level of involvement is associated with the socio-economic status of such parents. The study concluded that parental involvement in their children with disabilities education leads to positive learning outcomes and academic achievements. It was recommended among others that parents should get involved in decisions concerning the education of their children with disability; parents must honour invitations from schools and speak with school staff and teachers. Again, parents should disabuse their minds of the perceptions that taking their child with disability to school is of no benefit and a waste of resources.

Mystery upon Mystery: Wang Bi on the Meaning of Xuan 玄

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract: Xuan 玄 (mystery, dark) was ascribed critical philosophic importance by many thinkers of the tradition known as xuanxue 玄學 (Scholarly Exploration of the Dark, Neo-Daoism), principal among whom was Wang Bi. Through systematic analyses of the Laozi , he attempted to explore not only how "nonbeing" ( wu 無) is the cosmic force guiding phenomenal existence, but also how xuan and dao 道 are paired, complementary aspects of the "means-by-which-things-are-so" ( suoyi 所以). This article examines xuan from the perspective of Wang Bi and, through a close reading of his commentaries, finds that it signifies that which is holistically unknowable and ineffable, an indiscernible oneness where one can resonate with all things. This is premised on the "necessary" unspecificity of the "One" ( yi 一) and is reflected in his philosophy of language. By exploring xuan in its philosophical, philological, and semantic context, it becomes apparent that it is more complex than previously thought.

Arginine induced acute pancreatitis alters the actin cytoskeleton and increases heat shock protein expression in rat pancreatic acinar cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Arginine induced acute pancreatitis was evaluated as a novel and distinct form of experimental pancreatitis with particular attention to the actin cytoskeleton and expression of heat shock or stress proteins. Arginine induced a dose related necrotising pancreatitis in rats, as shown by histological evaluation, and an increase in serum amylase. Severe pancreatitis induced by 4.5 g/kg arginine was accompanied by dramatic changes in the actin cytoskeleton, as visualised with rhodamine phallodin. Intermediate filaments were also disrupted, as visualised by cytokeratin 8/18 immunocytochemistry. Arginine pancreatitis was accompanied by a stress response with a large increase in the small heat shock protein HSP27, as well as HSP70, peaking at 24 hours and localised to acinar cells. There was a lower increase in HSP60 and HSP90 and no effect on GRP78. HSP27 was also shifted to phosphorylated forms during pancreatitis. A lower dose of arginine (3.0 g/kg) induced less pancreatitis but a larger increase in HSP70 and HSP27 expression and phosphorylation of HSP27. Thus HSP expression can be overwhelmed by severe damage. The present work in conjunction with earlier work on caerulein induced pancreatitis indicates that changes in the actin cytoskeleton are an early component in experimental pancreatitis.
Favez or the Secret of Henriette Faver Caven

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Summary Unlike the theatre and literature, the cinema does not seem to have sufficiently addressed gender discrimination in Medicine. From this perspective, the present work addresses the eventful life of Henriette Faver Caven, who had to study, practise and impart her medical acumen dressed as a man, and rescues its current repercussions in cinematography. Henriette Faver Caven is sketched from her birth to her death through an analysis of the different phases of her life (orphaned at an early age, the death of her uncle, husband and daughter, cross-dressing, graduation, her involvement in the war, prison, emigration to Cuba -the first female doctor on the island- her professional activities, homosexual marriage, trial, conviction and exile). At the same time, we allude to two Cuban films about her life by Lidice Perez Lopez [Enriqueta Faver (1998) and Favez (2004), with their different presentations at cinematographic festivals]. We estimate that this issue and corresponding cinematographic initiatives are of great value for debating not only the harsh story of the access of this woman to formal studies in general, and university level education in particular, but also the problems of gender, and to relate this singular existence to both its cinematographic recreations and its literary and theatrical repercussions.
Assessment of Nutritional Status, Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Infant and Young Child Feeding in Kumbotso Local Government Area, Kano State, Nigeria

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background and Objective: Optimal feeding practice for infants and young children is a prerequisite for good nutrition, health and development of children.Despite high burden of malnutrition, there is limited data on the nutritional status, knowledge, attitude and practices for infant and young child feeding in Kano State, Nigeria.This study assessed caregiversʼ knowledge, attitude and practices for infant and young child feeding and nutritional status of children 0-59 months.Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted which randomly sampled 270 children of 0-59 months and their caregivers.Data were collected using modified questionnaire developed by the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO-UN).Results: Majority (51.1%) of the caregivers were 25-34 years of age, 53.7% of caregivers have secondary school education as highest level of formal education.Only 23.7% of mothers initiated breastfeeding (BF) within one hour of birth.While only 15.4% practiced exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), 19.26% started complementary feeding at the right time.In the current study 26.63% of children between 6-59 months of age had adequate dietary diversity.Only 11.35% of children reported intake of meat/meat products and 15.7% of milk/milk products based on 24 h recall.Less than half (48.7%) of the children (24-59 months of age) consumed fruits and vegetables.Only 11.4% of caregivers wash their hands before feeding their child.There was a significant positive relationship between knowledge of BF and BF initiation (r = 0.288), practice of EBF (r = 0.445) and place of child delivery (r = 0.547).Conclusion: Results of this study suggests poor nutrition knowledge, attitude and practices among caregivers of children under 5 years in Kano and call for more interventions towards behaviour change for improved feeding practices of infant and young child.
Flavor preexposures in a conditioned taste aversion situation: A dissociation of behavioral and endocrine effects in rats.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

A series of experiments examined the effects of flavor preexposures on pituitary-adrenal/behavior relations in a conditioned taste aversion paradigm. It was found that reexposure to a novel milk solution paired earlier with lithium chloride (LiCl) elicited conditioned activation of the pituitary-adrenal system (Experiment 1). The unconditioned response to LiCl (measured by changes in plasma levels of corticosterone) did not vary as a function of prior (2 and 5 vs. 10) exposures to the milk solution (Experiment 2). Increased familiarity with the substance (resulting from 10 prior exposures) rendered the conditioning of a taste aversion to this substance less effective. Further, reexposure to this familiar substance after its pairing with LiCl was not accompanied by the characteristic conditioned pituitary-adrenal activation (Experiment 3). By titrating the number of conditioned stimulus (CS) preexposures (Experiment 4) it was found that within the range of preexposures manipulated (5-10), subjects exhibited (a) a coupling of behavioral and pituitary-adrenocortical responses when the conditioned taste aversion to the milk solution was paralleled by elevated plasma corticosterone (5-6 preexposures), (b) a coupling of these two response systems when flavor consumption was accompanied by suppressed plasma titers of corticoids (9-10 preexposures), or (c) a dissociation of the two system when the conditioned taste aversion was not accompanied by conditioned adrenocortical activity (7-8 preexposures). These data are discussed in terms of a dissociation in the effects of CS preexposures on conditioned adrenocortical and behavioral response systems.
Intact funiculus in mature harvested seeds of field pea (Pisum sativum L.): preliminary investigation and possible implications

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract A seed remains attached to mother plant through funiculus which is the only means of communication between seed and mother plant. In general, the funiculus is detached from seeds at maturity while harvesting and threshing. However, out of about 950 accessions of fieldpea ( Pisum sativum ) screened at ICAR‐Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, India, eight accessions were identified to have intact funiculus in matured and harvested seed. The role of intact funiculus after maturity and harvesting is not yet known. This article summarizes the results of a preliminary investigation on the effect of presence of funiculus on mature harvested seeds of fieldpea on water uptake, as the region underneath the funiculus (hilum–micropylar region) is known to be actively involved in water imbibition by seed. We also propose the possible implications (positive and negative) of incorporation of such trait in high yielding cultivars. The preliminary investigation suggested that the presence of funiculus in harvested seeds has a significant but negative role in rate of water uptake, as the seeds of all eight accessions imbibed more water when funiculus was removed. Such an effect on water uptake, which triggers many physiological metabolisms of dry seed, could have an effect on rate and final germination, dormancy, seed shattering, and cooking time. Also, such genotypes are expected to perform better under high initial moisture and/or flood situation like rice ( Oryza sativa ) fallows.
Control of Combustion Instabilities on a Rijke Tube by a Neural Network

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Combustion instabilities still constitute a major problem for powerplant development. In this paper a Rijke tube which presents for some operating conditions instabilities with pressure level up to 145 dB/Hz is considered. In order to control instabilities an Internal Model Control System for nonlinear plants that uses two neural networks has been developed. The first one is an Internal Model which approximates the plant forward dynamic (the learning process). The second one gives the adaptive control input. The capacity of approximating the noisy signals of instabilities (microphone or photomultiplier for OH emission proportional to heat release) with a good precision is demonstrated. Attenuation of instabilities for fixed or variable operating conditions with pressure level attenuation up to 60 dB/Hz has been obtained.

Validation of a binomial sequential sampling plan for the horn fly in pasture cattle

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The horn fly is an extensive economic pest to cattle. Direct economic effects of high infestations have warranted the development of sampling procedures to incorporate better management practices among cattle producers. There is little research on determining a sampling plan for the horn fly based on the economic threshold (ET). A binomial sequential sampling (BSS) plan offers an efficient method for the classification of pest density and its infestation level above or below the ET. This sampling plan follows sequential analysis and integrating a binomial component will increase the speed of sampling by classifying fly density as presence (above threshold) or absence (below threshold). The objective of this study is to develop a binomial sequential sampling plan for horn flies based on cattle hide color and to determine reproductive losses at different horn fly infestation levels. Preliminary analysis of horn fly counts on cattle were categorized based on hide coloration of black hide and combined. Taylor’s Power Law (TPL) was calculated for horn fly dispersion patterns. For all groups, b values were greater than one (black hide b = 1.97, combined b = 1.81), corresponding to high aggregation of horn flies on cattle. Next, tally thresholds were developed, and it was determined a tally threshold of 350 horn flies/animal for black hide (R2 = 0.93) and the combined model (R2 = 0.92) are the best choice for determining fly density. After fitness and practicality of the model was examined, Wald’s sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) was used to develop upper and lower stop lines for sampling plans. Examination of reproductive performance in rangeland cattle found no significant effect of fly infestation level on calving periods and most reproductive variables tested. Preliminary findings of this study provide a dynamic sampling plan for H. irritans on cattle in pasture settings and implementation of this plan can significantly enhance pest management strategies against the horn fly, however, this study suggest horn fly infestations did not significantly impact most reproductive parameters evaluated in rangeland cattle.
Relevance of Spiritual Intelligence: Evidence from Airline Industry of Pakistan

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Spiritual intelligence is gaining universal recognition and spiritual values are becoming increasingly integrated into organisational behaviour and psychology. Despite the significance of spiritual values on work behaviour, spiritual intelligence in Pakistan has yet to be examined extensively. This study investigates the impact of employee’s spiritual intelligence (sense of meaning, sense of community and wisdom) on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the Pakistani aviation industry. Using the survey method, 316 responses were collected from three airline companies. This study used structural equation modelling (SEM) with the PLS approach to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that spiritual intelligence has a positive relationship with employees’ OCB. The research found that wisdom, sense of community and sense of meaning influenced organisational behaviour in the form of helping behaviour and employee loyalty. Theoretically, this study offers a comprehensive understanding of spiritual values in workplace settings and suggests that spiritual intelligence is a missing link in organisational behaviour and the human resource development process. The findings have implications for developing holistic human resources in organisations. The limitations and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
The Transformation of American Energy Markets and the Problem of Market Power

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Traditionally, American energy markets have been regulated using a combination of antitrust law and public utility law: the former has predominated in oil markets and the latter in markets for natural gas and electricity. Over time, energy markets have grown increasingly complex and competitive, due partly to changing market conditions (for example, in oil markets) and partly to regulation (in natural gas and electricity markets). Increasingly competitive energy markets meant increased risk for energy companies; those companies turned to energy derivatives as a way to hedge that risk. High energy prices and charges of manipulation in twenty-first century energy markets have led regulators to a new approach, one that borrows from securities regulation and focuses attention on “manipulation and deceit” by energy market participants. The securities model may be a bad fit for energy markets, however, because reliance on this new approach exposes consumers to price risks associated with the exercise of market power by sellers, risks to which buyers were not subject under traditional approaches to regulation. In this article, the authors explore the origins of these “bad fit” problems, and examine their implications for the future of American energy markets.
Building Simulation Software for Indoor Air Quality Research: A Review

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In this digital era, information technology really helps the process of designing and designing a more efficient, durable, high-performance building. After the pandemic, indoor air quality (IAQ) becomes an important issue since human spend most of the time indoor, which can impact their well-being in the long term. Ventilation is considered as one of the effective strategies in order to control IAQ. However, airflow and pollutant transport are a complex mechanism, therefore it is hard to understand only by experimental method. Advance information technology nowadays can help predict the building air quality from the early design stage. This paper aims to discuss various building simulation models and the popular software used. The basic principles of three models, multizone, zonal, and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models are explained, following with their advantages and limitation. By comparing the simulation ability, accuracy, computational cost, simulation time, user skill requirement, and visual user interface, architect and researcher can choose the right simulation model according to their needs, in designing building which emit less pollutant and provide enough ventilation for contaminants discharge.
