Effect of Choice of Family Activities on Prosocial Behavior in Preschool Children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study through the review of literature found that many articles are mainly about the importance of parents for children's daily life, they did not introduce the choice of family activities for preschool children pro-social behavior. Therefore, the study examine the choice of preschool children family activities questionnaire analysis. The 241 valid questionnaires were collected through the Pearson correlation analysis. Results reveal that outdoor activities, parent-child yoga/gymnastics, healthy diet education, regular physical examinations and hygiene habits cultivation, parent-child reading, role-playing, games, singing and nursery rhymes, visiting art exhibitions or cultural activities, encouraging children's free creation, scientific experiments, painting and handicrafts, visiting museums and science galleries, and watching science and art related videos have a positive correlation with the prosocial behavior of preschool children. Therefore, preschool children can choose daily activities around five fields, through reading, outdoor sports, science museum, etc
Can we Help the Bots? Towards an Evaluation of their Performance and the Creation of Human Enhanced Artifact for Emotions De-escalation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We propose a hybrid intelligence socio-technical artifact that identifies a threshold where the chatbot requires human intervention in order to continue to perform at an appropriate level to achieve the pre-defined objective of the system. We leverage the Yield Shift Theory of Satisfaction, the Intervention Theory and the Nudge Theory to develop meta requirements and design principles for this system. We discuss the first iteration of implementation and evaluation of the artifact components.
‘Fiddling while Rome is Burning’: Hostility to Art During the First World War, 1914–18

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

While the wartime experiences of British soldier-artists have received much scholarly attention, rather less is known about the artistic impact of the First World War on the home front. This article draws on a large amount of contemporary discourse (including government legislation, academic essays, tabloid editorials, publicly issued pamphlets and private letters) to describe how the inflammatory domestic climate precipitated a widespread questioning of the social value, ethical legitimacy and political validity of art. The conflict not only caused art to be considered a trivial, unproductive and degenerative luxury; it led to a demonization of artists as shirkers, profiteers, elitists and foreigners. The article concludes that these discursive patterns were symptomatic of a wartime desegregation of public life and the cultural sphere that may well have shaped the more socially motivated artistic trends of the inter-war period.
Novel Pen that Reduces the Effects of Hand Tremors to Writing

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Hand tremors can impact many daily tasks that require fine motor skills, such as buttoning, feeding, typing, and writing. The challenges associated with these tasks not only cause problems with self-confidence and self-sufficiency, but they may also lead to depression. This project is focused on improving handwriting by a novel pen design. Specifically, the objective is to create a pen that can effectively reduce the effects of tremor-induced oscillations at the pen tip. The design is explored from a model-based active-control perspective, with the intention to minimize unintentional pen-tip deviations at the tremor-induced frequencies, while allowing voluntary strokes intended for writing. Here, the model includes a spring-damper-actuator element sandwiched between the pen-rod and pen-shell, actively isolating the pen-rod from the vibrations on the pen-shell that is subjected to tremor-induced periodic forcing. Using a constrained nonlinear optimization algorithm and linear quadratic optimal regulator, feedback controllers are designed for the actuator to render the pen tip insensitive against tremors. Results show that tremors on the pen-shell can be suppressed up to 56dB at the tip of the pen-rod (i.e., displacement to force ratio ~1:600), in tremor-present frequencies. These theoretical results demonstrate the feasibility of building such a pen, and its value for the target population of about 10 million Essential Tremor patients in the US.

Peer Review #2 of "Identification of key microRNAs and the underlying molecular mechanism in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats (v0.2)"

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCII) is a pathological process with severe complications such as paraplegia and paralysis.Aberrant miRNA expression is involved in the development of SCII.Differences in the experimenters, filtering conditions, control selection, and sequencing platform may lead to different miRNA expression results.This study systematically analyzes the available SCII miRNA expression data to explore the key differently expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) and the underlying molecular mechanism in SCII.A systematic bioinformatics analysis was performed on 23 representative rat SCII miRNA datasets from PubMed.The target genes of key DEmiRNAs were predicted on miRDB.The DAVID and TFactS databases were utilized for functional enrichment and transcription factor binding analyses.In this study, 19 key DEmiRNAs involved in SCII were identified, 9 of which were upregulated (miR-144-3p, miR-3568, miR-204, miR-30c, miR-34c-3p, miR-155-3p, miR-200b, miR-463, and miR-760-5p) and 10 downregulated (miR-28-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-702-3p, miR-291a-3p, miR-199a-3p, miR-352, miR-743b-3p, miR-125b-2-3p, miR-129-1-3p, and miR-136).KEGG enrichment analysis on the target genes of the upregulated DEmiRNAs revealed that the involved pathways were mainly cGMP-PKG and cAMP signaling pathway.KEGG enrichment analysis on the target genes of the downregulated DEmiRNAs revealed that the involved pathways were mainly Chemokine and MAPK signaling pathway.GO enrichment analysis indicated that the target genes of the upregulated DEmiRNAs were markedly enriched in biological processes such as brain development and the positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter.Target genes of the downregulated DEmiRNAs were mainly enriched in biological processes such as intracellular signal transduction and negative regulation of cell proliferation.According to the transcription factor analysis, the 4 transcription factors, including SP1, GLI1, GLI2, and FOXO3, had important regulatory effects on the target genes of the key DEmiRNAs.Among the upregulated DEmiRNAs, miR-3568 was especially interesting.While SCII causes severe neurological deficits of lower extremities, the anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs) of miR-3568 improve neurological function.Cleaved
The Digestion of Lung Tissue for Mineral Dust Recovery

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Methods for recovery of inhaled mineral dusts, from lung tissue, with minimal physical damage are suggested. Clorox solution. Hydroxide of Hyamine, and hydrogen peroxide were considered for digestion of lung tissue. Contact of these reagents with a group of minerals (quartz, chrysotile, amosite, and calcite) revealed that Clorox solution and Hydroxide of Hyamine have the least effect on the minerals. Coal dust was more easily separated from Clorox than from the Hydroxide of Hyamine reagent in digestions of lung tissue containing particles of coal, clay, and mica. However, Clorox solution was not suitable for extraction of coal dusts, owing to apparent oxidation. Both reagents seemed unreactive with the clay and micas. Preliminary tests involving low-temperature (<200°C) ashing off lung tissue in oxygen—plasma indicated that this method could be suitable for recovery of certain minerals.
Measuring the Perceived Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction in Islamic Bank Windows in Libya Based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The growth of the banking sector is vital for a country’s economic development as it provides most of the financing sources for businesses. Customer satisfaction is one of the most important factors in determining the feasibility of a banking operation. Thus, this study aims to measure customer satisfaction in Libyan commercial banks, using the structural equation model (SEM). This study uses the dimensions from the modified SERVQUAL model, namely Tangibility, Assurance, Reliability, Responsiveness and Empathy for 366 cross-sectional samples that were taken from three commercial banks in Libya, namely Gumhouria Bank, Wahda Bank and Sahara Bank in year 2012. The study found that responsiveness was the strongest indicator of customer satisfaction using the dimensions of perceived quality, followed by reliability, empathy and assurance. The results of this study will be useful for policy-making by Libyan authorities responsible for the development of the banking sector
The FKBP-Type Domain of the Human Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Interacting Protein Reveals an Unusual Hsp90 Interaction

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

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP) has been predicted to consist of an N-terminal FKBP-type peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) domain and a C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain, as typically found in FK506-binding immunophilins. AIP, however, exhibited no inherent FK506 binding or PPIase activity. Alignment with the prototypic FKBP12 showed a high sequence homology but indicated inconsistencies with regard to the secondary structure prediction derived from chemical shift analysis of AIP(2-166). NMR-based structure determination of AIP(2-166) now revealed a typical FKBP fold with five antiparallel β-strands forming a half β-barrel wrapped around a central α-helix, thus permitting AIP to be also named FKBP37.7 according to FKBP nomenclature. This PPIase domain, however, features two structure elements that are unusual for FKBPs: (i) an N-terminal α-helix, which additionally stabilizes the domain, and (ii) a rather long insert, which connects the last two β-strands and covers the putative active site. Diminution of the latter insert did not generate PPIase activity or FK506 binding capability, indicating that the lack of catalytic activity in AIP is the result of structural differences within the PPIase domain. Compared to active FKBPs, a diverging conformation of the loop connecting β-strand C' and the central α-helix apparently is responsible for this inherent lack of catalytic activity in AIP. Moreover, Hsp90 was identified as potential physiological interaction partner of AIP, which revealed binding contacts not only at the TPR domain but uncommonly also at the PPIase domain.

Managing the Unmanageable

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper considers the consequences and impacts of the Punitive Turn in the context of the experience of Aboriginal offenders in the Canadian criminal justice system. Looking at the presence of a sharp increase in prison populations among Aboriginal prison populations, the politicization of criminal justice matters, and the increased use of actuarial risk/need assessment under the New Penology as indication of the existence of a “Punitive Turn” in the context of the experience of Aboriginal people in the Canadian criminal justice system. Additionally, the expansion of the prison driven by the prison industrial complex and the discovery of the profitability of the prison is regarded as a motivating factor behind the emergence and continuation of changes in punitive practices since the 1970s. Historical injustices, the prison industrial complex and changes in punitive practices have all contributed to the considerable overrepresentation of Aboriginal individuals in Canadian correctional facilities and will be considered to be a part of an overarching strategy of management and control over this marginalised group.
Antibiotic prophylaxis for presumptive group B streptococcal infection in preterm premature rupture of the membranes: Effect on neonatal and maternal infectious morbidity

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine if the prevalence of neonatal and maternal infectious morbidity inpatients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) who received ampicillin prophylaxis for presemptive group B streptococcal colonization is increased compared to those who received no prophylaxis. Methods The charts of all patients with preterm PROM who delivered between January 1988 and December 1993 were retrospectively reviewed. The routine use of ampicillin prophylaxis was initiated in January 1991. Patients with singleton gestations were included in the analysis only if chorioamnionitis was excluded on admission. Variables used in the final analysis included gestational age at the time of preterm PROM, gestational age at delivery, duration of rupture of membranes, birth weight, method of delivery, use of steroids, tocolytics, or antibiotics for group B streptococcus prophylaxis, neonatal sepsis, neonatal mortality, and postpartum endomyometritis. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and stepwise logistic regression analysis to evaluate the effect of chemoprophylaxis forgroup B streptococcus on the incidence of neonatal sepsis and maternal postpartum endomyometritis. A two-tailed P <0.05 was used to denote statistical significance. Results The charts of 206 patients were reviewed; 146 patients received ampicillin for group B streptococcal prophylaxis and 60 patients did not. There was a significantly higher incidence of postpartum endomyometritis among the patients who received ampicillin (62% vs. 22%; P < 0.01). The association between postpartum endomyometritis and chemoprophylaxis remained significant even after controlling for other confounding variables. There was no significant difference in the incidence of neonatal sepsis (5% vs. 7%; P = 0.7) or death (5% vs. 3%; P= 0.9) between both groups. Conclusions Group B streptococcal prophylaxis with a short course of intravenous ampicillin increases the risk of postpartum endomyometritis in patients with premature PROM. Infect. Dis. Obstet. Gynecol. 4:313–318, 1996. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Acoustic phonon transport and thermal conductance associated with six types of vibration modes in quantum waveguide modulated with unsymmetrical structure

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

By using scattering matrix method,the acoustic phonon transport and thermal conductance associated with the six low-lying vibration modes were studied in quantum waveguide modulated with quantum dot.The results show that the cutoff frequency for the four types of acoustic modes is 0 Hz,while two types of optical modes are of nonzero cutoff frequency.The quantized thermal conductance plateau and the thermal conductance property of the single vibration mode related closely with the structure parameter of the waveguide and unsymmetrical structure and the thermal conductance of the different vibration modes show different characteristics.At very low temperatures,the thermal conductance of torsional mode is the most sensitive to the structural parameter.However,at very low temperatures,with the increase of temperature,the thermal conductance of the dilatational mode and the flexural mode in y direction is the most sensitive to the structural parameter.The thermal conductance of the single vibration mode can be adjusted by changing the structure parameter of quantum dot.
Feature extraction of EEG signals from epilepsy patients based on Gabor Transform and EMD Decomposition

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Electroencephalograph (EEG) has been considered as a practical media to explore human brain activities. It is believed that EEG signals have lots of information carried still unknown. The non-stationary, non-linear traits of EEG signals make the information detection a hard task. While time-frequency methods, for their superiority to process such data, were widely studied and applied to this research. EEG information detection is very important during the diagnostics process of epilepsy diseases, because doctors detect abnormal brain activities mainly with their experiences on EEG signals and such subjective method is not so reliable. Here, we try a time-frequency method (Gabor Transform) on EEG signals. The results of Gabor Transform display good performance on both time and frequency scales. The Frequency Band Relative Intensity Ratio (FBRIR) can clearly differentiate the epilepsy periods including interictal, preictal and ictal. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is also used to extract patterns from the original EEG signals. It shows that EMD can be a valuable practical method for such tasks. The results of the two methods can provide doctors with clinical guidelines.
The Personal Rituals of the Finnic Peoples with Forest Trees

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article examines communication with trees in Votian and Vepsian folk culture. Two cases are discussed when a person gathering mushrooms and berries in the forest has made sacrificial gifts in the form of produce to a tree to request a good mushroom and berry harvest or for good health. In the Votian case, persons who have gone missing in the forest are memorialized. Trees are regarded as not only a conversation partner or a mediator, but in a broader religious (cosmogonic) and ritual context as well. These incidents are significant for how they reflect the animistic worldview of the Finnic peoples. A discussion of Finnic ontology is invited, suggesting that the cultural type centered on the folk healer [the-one-who-knows] came to replace the shamanic cultural type latest in the Iron Age.
Brief Communication: A Pilot Case-Control Study of Injuries in Farm Children—Focus on Supervision Issues

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Although several descriptive epidemiologic studies have been conducted on injuries to farm youth, few analytical studies that examine causal associations have been reported. Anecdotal case studies conducted suggest that inappropriate child supervision may be a risk factor. To investigate supervision and other potential risk factors, we conducted a pilot case-control study of farm youth injuries in Iowa. During 1993, 139 children under the age of nine were injured or killed in Iowa due to farm injuries, as reported by the Iowa Department of Public Health. Pre-tested questionnaires were distributed to these families requesting information relating to supervision and 344other risk factors with 22 families agreeing to participate in the study. Matched controls were recruited from farm families where no child injuries occurred. Compared to controls, the farms with injured children had (1) greater economic stress, (2) less off-farm employment, (3) greater participation of children in farm work activities, and (4) none of the children were reported to be alone at the time of the injury. The concern, however, is the degree of supervision and the pressure of multiple workplace hazards. Effective injury prevention must focus on child and parental education, environmental modifications, and alternative rural child care programs. With the high percentage of parents employed off the farm, care alternatives should be made attractive both economically and conveniently. Future research should include a more extensive case-control study for tailoring intervention programs to appropriate groups.

Catch me if you can: the influence of refuge / trap design, previous feeding experience, and semiochemical lures on vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) monitoring success

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most economically important pest species of berry and ornamental crops globally. Monitoring this nocturnal pest can be difficult and time consuming and the efficacy of current tools is uncertain. Without effective monitoring tools, implementation of integrated pest management strategies is challenging. This study tests the relative efficacy of a range of vine weevil monitoring tools. Whether host‐plant volatiles and weevil feeding experience influence vine weevil capture is also tested. RESULTS Monitoring tool efficacy differed overall between the six monitoring tool designs tested and ranged from catches of 0.4% to 26.7% under semi‐field conditions. Previous feeding experience influenced vine weevil behavior. In yew conditioned populations, 39% of the weevils responded to and were retained in the trap baited with yew foliage while 37% of weevils from Euonymus fortunei conditioned populations responded to and were retained in the trap baited with E. forunei foliage. A simple synthetic lure consisting of ( Z )‐2‐pentenol + methyl eugenol also increased vine weevil catches compared with an unbaited trap. CONCLUSION Demonstrating differences in the efficacy of different monitoring tool designs is an important first step for developing improved methods for monitoring vine weevil populations within crops. This study presents the first direct comparison of vine weevil monitoring tool designs and indicates that trap efficacy can be improved by baiting with host‐plant material or a synthetic lure based on host‐plant volatiles. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
Analysis on 286 outbreaks of food-borne illness related to salmonella in Shandong Province

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Foodborne illness related to Salmonella tends to occur in outbreaks.To probe into the preventive strategies of the problem,286 outbreaks of such foodborne illnesses in Shandong Province within the period of 1983 through 2002 were analyzed.The 286 outbreaks involved 11 228 victims,among whom 15 died.The average annual incidence was 1.13/100 000 and the mortality was 0.13%. The peak of prevalence in a year was seen during April through September,and the frequency of outbreaks,the number of cases and the number of deaths occurred during this period accounted for 75.87%,72.73% and 80.00% of the total respectively.Outbreaks occurred much more frequently in rural areas,being 6 times of that in urban areas.Pork was the most common food related to Salmontlla infection,accounting for 68.18%、62.46% and 80.00% of the total outbreaks,cases and deaths respectively.Private peddlers were the main bodies responsible for the problem,accounting for 46.50%、51.28% and 46.67% of the total outbreaks,cases and deaths respectively.The direct cause of the outbreaks was mainly contamination of raw materials,which accounted for 44.41%、42.12%、53.33% of the total outbreaks,cases and deaths respectively.To reduce the hazard,it was suggested that supervision and examination of meat products should be strengthened in hot days and health education on knowledge of food safety should be stressed in rural areas.
