Parents’ Involve and psycho-educational Development of Learners with Special Educational Needs (SENs): An Empirical Review

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There is mounting evidence that parental involvement paradigm is a major strategy that supports positive learning outcomes and is critically vital for educating learners with special educational needs (SENs). To illuminate parental involvement concept and potential in a concrete context, this paper review and analyse, 1) the empirical literature that explain the interaction between parental involvement, inclusive education and learners educational achievement, 2) synthesize findings that relates parental involvement paradigms with psycho-educational development of children, 3) uses both developmental ecological perspectives and Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler model (1995) to analyse and explain the interaction amongst parents’ involvement, school ecology and student’s academic success. Finally, findings reveals a strong and meaningful relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement and that parent’s beliefs, expectations and experiences are important ingredients that support better learning outcomes for children.

Hidden public debt across European countries

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze two out of three main types of Hidden Public Debt, Commercial Debt and Public Private Partnerships Financing Needs, across 11 European Countries between 2000-2012. When faced with the need to raise taxes or reduce spending, governments have for some time turned to a third option by resorting to off book loans and liabilities that do not appear in public accounts. Hidden public debts are those state commitments and liabilities that, despite a lack of specific allocation or inclusion in forecasts and liabilities, are assumed by the government. Amongst the major results, this article concludes that countries with stronger economies, more transparency of government expenditures and relatively high tax rate stayed in- or moved to the bucket of relatively low debt levels, namely with hidden debt below 1% of GDP. Also, the level of hidden debt within the PIIGS is twice if what the rest of the sample has.
Distinct calcineurin‐related transgenic approaches rescue or exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype in fibers from crossbred mdx mice despite constant HSP70 expression

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

We have shown the dystrophic phenotype to be rescued by driving the slower oxidative myogenic program via calcineurin/NFAT (Cn/NFAT) signaling together with an increase in utrophin A expression (Chakkalakal et al 2004, 2006). However, a recent study suggests an alternate strategy in the rescue of the dystrophic phenotype by overexpressing HSP70 without necessary changes in utrophin A expression (Gehrig et al 2012). We thus set out to examine HSP70 expression in muscles of dystrophic mdx mice crossbred with mice expressing transgenes (Tg) that manipulate the Cn/NFAT pathway. From WBs we found upregulation of utrophin A driven by the Tg overexpression of Cn and its downregulation after the Tg expression of either parvalbumin or calmodulin binding protein. These changes in utrophin A expression occurred without changes in HSP70 levels, indicating that regulation of these two proteins is not correlated. Further, IF experiments showed a robust and rigid co‐localization of HSP70 with MyHC I in Tg‐modified mdx slow fibers displaying impaired Cn/NFAT signaling together with decreased utrophin A expression and a clear exacerbation of the dystrophic phenotype. These results not only underscore the therapeutic potential of targeting Ca +2 /Cn‐based signaling intermediates as effective countermeasures for DMD, but also raise questions to the role of HSP70 in rescuing the dystrophic pathology.

Clearance of surfactant phosphatidylcholine from adult rabbit lungs

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Rabbits were given various doses of rabbit surfactant and treatment doses of approximately 100 mg/kg body wt of calf surfactant and Surfactant TA by tracheal injection. The linear loss of radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine from the total lung (alveolar wash and lung tissue) was 3.1, 1.5, and 1.8%/h for rabbit surfactant, calf surfactant, and Surfactant TA, respectively. After 24 h only 6% rabbit, 19% calf, and 9.7% Surfactant TA phosphatidylcholine were recovered by alveolar wash, and alveolar macrophage fractions contained less than 1% of the injected labeled phosphatidylcholine. The loss of rabbit surfactant phosphatidylcholine 24 h after tracheal injection did not change for doses in the range of 0.5-70 mumol phosphatidylcholine per kilogram, indicating nonsaturable clearance pathways. Very little of the labeled rabbit surfactant phosphatidylcholine lost from the lungs could be recovered in other organs, and 90% of the recovered labeled phosphatidylcholine in the liver was unsaturated, implying de novo synthesis using precursors from degraded phosphatidylcholine. The surfactant did not change endogenous lung phosphatidylcholine synthesis or its secretion to the alveolus. There were no adverse effects of the surfactant treatments noted in healthy rabbits.
Crossover Flux and Ionic Resistance Metrics in Polysulfide-Permanganate Redox Flow Battery Membranes

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A survey of 23 commercially available cation exchange membranes was performed for the downselection of membranes for use in a polysulfide-permanganate redox flow battery (pS-Mn RFB). The survey measured the flux of permanganate ions across a 0.1 mol L −1 concentration gradient as well as the membrane resistance in a 0.5 mol L −1 sodium chloride solution. The membranes exhibited the characteristic flux/resistance trade-off observed in most classes of membranes. To connect the individual membrane testing to how the membranes will perform in a device, cell performance data in a pS-Mn RFB was collected for three membranes from the survey. The coulombic, voltaic, and energy efficiency at low cycle counts aligned with the predictions from the membrane flux and resistance survey results. The study also identified three membranes—Fumapem F-930-RFS, Fumapem FS-715-RFS, and Aquivion E98-09S—that outperformed most other membranes regarding their position on the flux-resistance trade-off curve, indicating them to be good candidates for further testing.
Characterization ofthe Cell Cycle Regulator, CCND1, as a Kaiso Target Gene.

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

Kaiso is a novel member of the BTB/POZ (Broad complex, Tramtrak, Bric a \nbrac,/Pox virus and zinc finger) zinc finger family of transcriptional regulators that have \nmany roles in development and tumorigenesis. Kaiso was first identified as a binding \npartner for p 120ctn, an Armadillo catenin with roles in cell adhesion and stabilization of \ncadherins at the cell membrane. Kaiso is both an activator and repressor of gene \ntranscription and interacts with two distinct types of DNA sequence; a consensus Kaiso \nbinding site (KBS) TCCTGCNA and methylated CpG dinucleotide pairs (i.e. CpGCpG). \nThus far p120's nuclear role is to inhibit Kaiso-mediated regulation of its target genes. \nSome of the Kaiso target genes identified to date include, matrilysin, rapsyn, and MTA2. \nThe Kaiso homologue in Xenopus laevis (frog) has also been shown to regulate the cell \ncycle regulator CCND 1. Sequence analysis of the human CCND1 promoter revealed \nseveral potential Kaiso binding elements including both KBS and methylatable CpGs. My research demonstrated that Kaiso binds to the CCND1 promoter in vitro and \nin vivo to both KBS-specific and CpG-specific regions. Furthermore, I determined that \nKaiso may act as either a repressor or activator of the human CCND 1 gene depending on \nthe cellular environment. Altogether these data support my hypothesis that Kaiso is a \nregulator of the CCND1 gene. Future studies looking at the significance of KBS versus \nCpG-binding on Kaiso's mechanism of regulation are required to determine the \nsignificance of this regulation. Furthermore, studies examining the cell cycle-dependent \nchanges in Kaiso levels may reveal how alterations in Kaiso expression affect Kaiso \ntarget genes including CCND1.
Perceived helpfulness of service sectors used for mental and substance use disorders: Findings from the WHO World Mental Health Surveys

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Mental healthcare is delivered across service sectors that differ in level of specialization and intervention modalities typically offered. Little is known about the perceived helpfulness of the combinations of service sectors that patients use.Respondents 18 + years with 12-month DSM-IV mental or substance use disorders who saw a provider for mental health problems in the year before interview were identified from WHO World Mental Health surveys in 17 countries. Based upon the types of providers seen, patients were grouped into nine mutually exclusive single-sector or multi-sector 'treatment profiles'. Perceived helpfulness was defined as the patient's maximum rating of being helped ('a lot', 'some', 'a little' or 'not at all') of any type of provider seen in the profile. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the joint associations of sociodemographics, disorder types, and treatment profiles with being helped 'a lot'.Across all surveys combined, 29.4% (S.E. 0.6) of respondents with a 12-month disorder saw a provider in the past year (N = 3221). Of these patients, 58.2% (S.E. 1.0) reported being helped 'a lot'. Odds of being helped 'a lot' were significantly higher (odds ratios [ORs] = 1.50-1.89) among the 12.9% of patients who used specialized multi-sector profiles involving both psychiatrists and other mental health specialists, compared to other patients, despite their high comorbidities. Lower odds of being helped 'a lot' were found among patients who were seen only in the general medical, psychiatrist, or other mental health specialty sectors (ORs = 0.46-0.71). Female gender and older age were associated with increased odds of being helped 'a lot'. In models stratified by country income group, having 3 or more disorders (high-income countries only) and state-funded health insurance (low/middle-income countries only) were associated with increased odds of being helped 'a lot'.Patients who received specialized, multi-sector care were more likely than other patients to report being helped 'a lot'. This result is consistent with previous research suggesting that persistence in help-seeking is associated with receiving helpful treatment. Given the nonrandom sorting of patients by types of providers seen and persistence in help-seeking, we cannot discount that selection bias may play some role in this pattern.
Differentiating feline inflammatory bowel disease from alimentary lymphoma in duodenal endoscopic biopsies

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between microscopic and molecular testing for differentiating feline intestinal bowel disease and small cell alimentary lymphoma in duodenal endoscopic biopsies. METHODS Four different diagnostic methods (cytology, histology, immunohistochemistry and clonality) were sequentially applied to 77 cases of feline chronic enteropathies. The agreement between the different diagnostic methods was calculated and survival data were obtained to assess the most reliable method for predicting outcome. RESULTS Seventy‐seven cases were included in the study. On multivariate survival analysis, only the clonality‐based diagnosis of lymphoma was significantly associated with poor survival, with a risk of enteropathy‐related death 2·8 times higher. By comparing the other tests with clonality, specificity was high (87 to 97%), whereas sensitivity was 36·8% for cytology, 39·5% for histology, 63·2% for immunohistochemistry, resulting in an overall accuracy of 62·3, 68·8 and 80·5%, respectively. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clonality analysis can consistently increase the possibility of correctly and early diagnosing small cell lymphoma on endoscopic biopsies. Histological suspicion of alimentary lymphoma, even if not confirmed by clonality, should never be ignored, as it may represent a debutant form of lymphoma or it may later progress to lymphoma.

Interventions to Promote a Patient-Centered Approach in Clinical Consultations: Improving the Physician-Patient Communication Skills of Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals’ Residents and Fellows Voichita Bar-Ad, MD; Tu Dan, MD; Jennifer Arfaa; John McAna; Nicholas G. Zaorsky, MD; John Caruso, MD; Richard Jacoby, MD; Christopher Skidmore, MD; Austin Katona; Bettina Berman; Mark Hurwitz, MD; Elisabeth J.S. Kunkel, MD Abstract Background: Patient-centered communication is a critical component of patient-centered care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a training course in patient-communication. Materials: A training course for resident physicians and fellows was initiated in 2011. The course utilized the Acknowledge, Introduction, Duration, Explanation, Thanking (AIDETTM) framework. In the quarter year following the training, a survey was sent to evaluate the trainees’ self-assessed physician-patient communication skills. Results: Of the 885 trainees who received the survey, 241 responded (response rate, 27%). Those attending the AIDETTM training were significantly more likely to report that they praised the care provided by other teams (p=0.01) and to leave contact information for the patient (p=0.02). In addition, those who underwent AIDETTM training were more likely to report that they received adequate communication skills training during residency and fellowship (p=0.045). Conclusions: AIDETTM training is associated with better scores on self-assessed physician-patient communication skills. Full Text: PDF DOI: 10.15640/ijhs.v3n2a4
Comparison of embryonic development, from HH21 to HH40, between ostrich (Struthio camelus) and chicken (Gallus gallus)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Background The chicken has been a representative model organism to study embryonic development in birds, however important differences exist among this class of species. As a representative of one of oldest existing clades of birds, the African ostrich ( Struthio camelus ), has the largest body among birds, and has two toes. Our purpose is to establish the corresponding stages in ostrich embryo development that match the well‐established HH system of the chicken to facilitate comparative studies between the ostrich and other birds to better understand differences in development. Results Here we describe in detail the middle period of embryonic development using microscopic images and skeletal staining. We found that clear morphological differentiation between the ostrich and the chicken begins at stage 26. Bird limb cartilage first form in stage 25, while the development of the limb skeletons differs after stage 31. Calcification of limb skeletons in the chicken was completed faster. The first and second toes of the ostrich disappear at stages 36 and 38, respectively. Conclusions This study should greatly aid ostrich‐related developmental and morphological research and provide a reference for studying the development and evolution of avian limb skeletons, including molecular research. Questions that can now be addressed include studies into the fusion of tarsometatarsal skeleton, ossification, and digit loss.

Some economic aspects of water resources development in western Canada

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The evaluation of public investment in water resources development has traditionally been carried out within the framework of benefit-cost analysis; a particular form of analysis, which has its roots in the efficiency-competitive theory of resource allocation. This thesis argues that, basically because of its competitive assumptions and its objective of maximizing net efficiency benefits, benefit-cost analysis, as it is currently applied at least, may not be the most appropriate criterion upon which to base public investment decisions. The broad outlines of water resources development in the future are more likely to be determined, as they have in the past, not solely by the desire to achieve an efficient allocation of resources but also by a more broadly based objective reflecting the widely held belief (whether true or not) that water is a dynamic influence in fostering both economic and social advancement. The Columbia River experience is discussed as a case in point. The final selection of projects under the Columbia River Treaty does not approximate the most efficient system of basin development. The choice of the Treaty projects, while they have in many cases been rationalized in terms of traditional economic techniques, can only be fully explained by the fact that neither of the parties to the Treaty had as their principle objective the maximization of net basin efficiency benefits. The Columbia River experience can best be understood through examination of the particular economic development policies of the parties involved. The thesis proposes and discusses an alternative approach to public investment criteria, the developmental approach, which, it is claimed, may be a more relevant way of evaluating future water resources development in Western Canada.
CHST11-modified chondroitin 4-sulfate as a potential therapeutic target for glioblastoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aberrant chondroitin sulfate (CS) accumulation in glioblastoma (GBM) tissue has been documented, but the role of excessive CS in GBM progression and whether it can be a druggable target are largely unknown. The aim of this study is to clarify the biological functions of CHST11 in GBM cells, and evaluate therapeutic effects of blocking CHST11-derived chondroitin 4-sulfate (C4S). We investigated the expression of CHST11 in glioma tissue by immunohistochemistry, and analyzed CHST11 associated genes using public RNA sequencing datasets. The effects of CHST11 on aggressive cell behaviors have been studied in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that CHST11 is frequently overexpressed in GBM tissue, promoting GBM cell mobility and modulating C4S on GBM cells. We further discovered that CSPG4 is positively correlated with CHST11, and CSPG4 involved in CHST11-mediated cell invasiveness. In addition, GBM patients with high expression of CHST11 and CSPG4 have a significantly shorter survival time. We examined the effects of treating C4S-specific binding peptide (C4Sp) as a therapeutic agent in vitro and in vivo. C4Sp treatment attenuated GBM cell invasiveness and, notably, improved survival rate of orthotopic glioma cell transplant mice. Our results propose a possible mechanism of CHST11 in regulating GBM malignancy and highlight a novel strategy for targeting aberrant chondroitin sulfate in GBM cells.
