A comparison of high-risk pregnant ( n = 55) and non-pregnant ( n = 598) women from Harlem, New York City on HIV-related drug and sexual risk behaviors was undertaken to identify appropriate prevention and intervention policy recommendations. Clients were recruited for an AIDS risk reduction research demonstration project and were either intravenous drug users (IVDUs) or sexual partners of IVDUs. There was a higher percentage of IVDUs among the non-pregnant women, and no significant differences were found between pregnant and non-pregnant IVDUs in terms of needle risk behaviors. The two groups were also similar in non-injected drug use behaviors. Pregnant women were significantly less likely to use condoms. Recommendations focused on the need for increased HIV risk reduction among high-risk women in general, and increased education efforts among pregnant high-risk women regarding condom use as protection from HIV and the potential consequences of maternal substance use for their children.

SynopsisThe diagnostic specificity and predictive utility of the classical prognostic indicators in schizophrenia were examined in psychotic patients enrolled in the Suffolk County Mental Health Project. First-admission psychotic patients with schizophrenia (N= 96), major depression (N= 42), and bipolar disorder (N= 64) drawn from 10 facilities in Suffolk County, New York, were assessed during their initial hospitalization and at 6–month follow-up. Longitudinal consensus diagnoses were determined after the 6-month interview. The diagnostic groups shared similar background characteristics, but schizophrenics had poorer pre-morbid adjustment, longer periods of psychosis before hospitalization and more negative symptoms initially. Except for rehospitalization, schizophrenics had the worst and bipolars the best functioning at follow-up. Among the classical prognostic indicators, the best predictor of 6-month outcome for each diagnostic group was premorbid functioning.

Abstract Background: Introduction: 1 in 6 Americans has or will have a sensory or communication disorder in their lifetime. In New York, approximately 12.6% of the population is affected by some degree of hearing loss or vestibular dysfunction. Osteopathic medical student auditory screenings have the potential to positively impact communities in screening for auditory disorders. The aim of this study is to argue for the importance of incorporating auditory screening programs into osteopathic student-run health fairs to positively impact underserved communities. Methods: Osteopathic medical students developed an auditory screening protocol and training session to detect auditory pathologies in health fair participants. Screenings included patient intake, hearing loss risk factor discussion questions, and audiological testing such as the whispered voice and turning fork tests. Participants of Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine’s fall and spring health fairs were invited to undergo the screening from September 2017 to March 2018 in New York City, New York. Results: During the inaugural health fairs, 28 participants were screened for auditory pathologies. 6 participants (21%) were referred for additional testing due to abnormal or inconclusive results. Median age of participants was 60 with 19 females and 9 males, IQR 5. Participants primarily self-identified as African American/Black (54%, n=15) or Hispanic (29%, n=8). Conclusion: The results of this pilot project underscore the benefits of effective auditory screening programs at osteopathic student-run health fairs, especially in urban, underserved communities.

Full textAbstract:
7023 Background: Expanded Access (EA), also known as “compassionate use,” is a regulatory pathway in which a patient with an immediate life-threatening condition or disease can gain access to an investigational product for treatment when no satisfactory therapy is available. Oncology practices may lack the regulatory experience or administrative support to use EA. In response, FDA OCE launched Project Facilitate (PF), a call center to assist oncology healthcare providers requesting EA. An analysis of single-patient investigational new drugs (IND) was performed to assess the first 10 months of PF compared to the period prior to its launch. Methods: Preliminary data was extracted from the FDA’s central database that yielded 719 single-patient INDs between May 31-November 30, 2018 & 2019 in the Office of Oncologic Diseases (OOD). Data collected included IND receipt date, acknowledgment date, application status, drug name, underlying malignancy of patient, address of requesting physician, withdrawal date, and patient demographics. A manual review of INDs was performed to assess for actual processing dates and to capture demographics not captured by the database. A total of 28 INDs were excluded due to duplications, cancellation by Sponsor prior to issuance of FDA decision, or coding errors in the database. Industry denial explanations were reported by the provider by emails. Results: Data from 692 INDs were analyzed and 692 (100%) were granted safe to proceed. The median processing time was 1 day (mean=2) in 2018 and 1 day (mean= 1.5) in 2019. Our findings indicate that the volume of oncology EA requests increased by 76 (19%) in 2019 vs 2018. A total of 207 unique drugs were requested. Malignancies most frequently involved included: Acute myeloid leukemia (n = 84, 8.3%), soft tissue sarcoma (n = 77, 7.6%), and non-small cell lung cancer (n = 60, 5.9%). States with the highest requests included: California (n = 82, 11.8%), New York (n = 81, 11.7%), and Massachusetts (n = 42, 6.1%). A majority of requests were from major academic centers (77%). All denied requests (N = 9) by industry were due to company’s decision to not provide products outside of a clinical trial. Conclusions: The positive trends in decreased processing times and increased number of requests are consistent with OCE’s mission to improve efficiency of the EA program and ensure equitable access to all oncology patients.

Full textAbstract:
To extract favorable terms from local governments, developers can take advantage of intermunicipal competition and threaten to relocate or abandon a land development project. Some say that model of regional competition undercuts the economic, environmental, and societal benefits of development while others claim it boosts the efficiency of municipal operations. The authors examine the likelihood that land developers will push local governments to compete against each other for projects. Their study of New York municipalities ( N = 306) finds that one third of local governments have been threatened and that one third of those reacted by reducing burdens or increasing incentives for developers. Their logistic regression model reveals that more cooperative intermunicipal relations across a region decrease the chances of developers threatening to move projects. Interestingly, the model suggests that public participation increases the chances of a threat.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOutcome studies have established that successful community living is compromised in the population of individuals with traumatic brain injury and chronic behavioural difficulties along with a co-occurring diagnosis of substance abuse and/or mental health disorder. Two studies are presented. The first was aimed at describing long-term outcome of a sample of individuals (N = 51) served by the New York State Department of Health TBI Medicaid Waiver Program. Each of the participants was diagnosed with TBI plus either substance abuse or a mental health disorder, or both. Because of significant behavioural challenges, all of the participants were in a restrictive living setting the year before enrolment in the waiver program (e.g., nursing or correctional facility). Data on community living arrangement, self-reported community integration experiences, and costs are presented. Results indicate that most of the participants (41 of the 46 who were alive and living in state) continued to live in the community 8 to 9 years after commencement of community support services. The participants' community integration responses were generally positive and cost data demonstrate substantial savings to the state for this cohort. Comparing prewaiver costs in residential settings with most recent (2005) costs for community supports, there was an average daily cost savings of US$137 per person for the 1996 cohort and US$144 per person for the 1997 cohort. The second study explored the use of project-oriented interventions and supports in an agency that provides community support services to this dual diagnosis population. Project-oriented services are described as meeting many needs common to this dual-diagnosis population. Clinical staff (N = 11) and a sample of waiver participants (N = 7) were surveyed. Results suggest that the use of personally meaningful projects can become a clinical habit for staff and that projects are generally judged by participants to be a meaningful use of time, and significant in giving them an opportunity to play an expert role and to help others.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: As older adults become increasingly reliant on emergency departments (EDs) for care, there is an interest in determining what types of ED visits by this population may be preventable, or amenable to other forms of care. The aim of this project was to explore the concept of preventable ED visits by older adults.Methods: We conducted a literature search to identify definitions of “preventable” or “avoidable” ED visits. We then applied a definition of preventable ED visits to an administrative data set consisting of ED visit data extracted from four sites in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Visits for patients 65 years of age or older were eligible for inclusion. Visits were categorized using triage level and discharge diagnosis.Results: Four methods of defining preventable ED visits were identified in our literature search: 1) Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) (N = 7), 2) Low Acuity/low intensity visits (N = 5), 3) New York University (NYU) (Billings) Algorithm (N = 3) and 4) hospital admission vs. non-admission (N = 1). We categorized 34,454 ED visits from our dataset using a modified definition of preventable ED visits that included ACSCs (15.3%) as well as low acuity visits that required no testing or hospital admission (9.9%).Conclusions: Our results suggest that approximately 25% of ED visits by older adults may be preventable or amenable to other forms of care. This data may be useful in the planning of care delivery appropriate for the needs of this population.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: We aim to examine the epidemiological characteristics of prosopagnosia by querying and analyzing a large deidentified clinical data set from 12 New York City-based hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). The PCORI-funded New York City Clinical Data Research Network (NYC-CDRN) contains ~4.5 million deidentified ICD-coded electronic health records (EHRs) with comprehensive longitudinal information on demographics, patient visits, clinical conditions/diagnoses, laboratory and radiology results, medications, and clinical procedures. The NYC-CDRN will be expanded to include other data sources, including insurance claims, social determinant of health, patient reported outcomes, and patient generated data. The central hypothesis was that systematic mining of this database would reveal new epidemiological information about prosopagnosia. We developed a computable phenotype for prosopagnosia, using the International Classification of Diseases version 9 (ICD-9). The computable phenotype consisted of the diagnostic code for the condition under study, prosopagnosia (ICD-9 code 368.16), as well as the codes for known surrogate diagnoses. We expected to identify cases of acquired prosopagnosia, where the condition occurs only after brain damage, due to stroke, trauma, or meningitis for example, and cases of developmental prosopagnosia, where the condition is present from an early age, with no history of brain damage. The goals of this project were to provide new information about the condition’s prevalence rate in the New York City area, which could be furthermore translated into wider geographical areas and to yield novel details about its antecedents and comorbid conditions. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To determine the presence of the diagnosis of interest, prosopagnosia, and common co-occurring conditions among a New York City-based study population, we investigated a large database in collaboration with the NYC-CDRN. At the time the large database was mined it contained ~4 million ICD-9 coded EHRs. We first created a search paradigm; applicable for screening the database that consists of ICD-9 coded EHRs. We generated a list of ICD-9 codes indicative for the patients’ difficulties with the perception of faces (368.16), which indicates the presence of the condition as part of the psychophysical visual disturbances complex, and this code identified 871 patients. Furthermore, we collected codes that indicate the presence of conditions that are known to be surrogate diagnoses of prosopagnosia. ICD-9 codes for surrogate diagnoses included for example, 854.* (coding for personal history of traumatic brain injury, n=1,409), 434.01, 434.11, and 434.91 (coding for cerebral thrombosis, embolus and artery occlusion unspecified with cerebral infarction, n=19,409), and 191.2 (coding for malignant neoplasm of the temporal lobe, n=566). In October 2015, coding was changed to the new ICD-10 coding system. No additional patients were revealed from the data set when the cohort was searched for the presence of corresponding ICD-10 codes, as institutions are currently in transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10. Using this search query with the large database, we extracted novel information about the epidemiological and demographical distribution of prosopagnosia and furthermore, gained new knowledge about commonly associated diseases. The fact that it must be presumed that the majority of diagnoses of prosopagnosia have been made on the basis of patients’ self-reports and clinicians’ judgments represents a limiting factor in this study. We are currently exploring machine-learning strategies to identify potential false-negative cases among the patients with surrogate diagnoses. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Investigations and application of our search query revealed a total number of n=129,549 patients carrying either the diagnosis code for prosopagnosia or the codes for the known surrogate diagnoses. There were 871 patients who carried the ICD-9 code 368.16, indicating the potential presence of prosopagnosia among other visual disturbances. Remaining patients (n=128,678) carried codes for known surrogate diagnoses, contained in the search query. Statistical analyses revealed elevated odds ratios for men (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.77, p<0.0001), and for Black/African Americans Versus White individuals (OR=2.09, 95% CI: 1.74, 2.51, p<0.0001). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Currently, the prevalence of prosopagnosia remains unknown. Face blind individuals are struggling to recognize their social contacts by their face only in every day life and are therefore prone to experience reduced quality of life. We searched the large NYC-based clinical database, containing more than 4.5 million deidentified ICD-coded health records, for cases of prosopagnosia to shed light into its prevalence and epidemiological characteristics. We furthermore, mined the database for cases carrying known surrogate diagnoses to explore the magnitude and characteristics of individuals potentially under increased risk. Our efforts address a great healthcare need, as they revealed new epidemiological knowledge of a vulnerable and understudied population. The results of this project reveal new insights into the epidemiological characteristics of prosopagnosia and its surrogate diagnoses, and demonstrate the feasibility of mining large clinical databases to identify rare clinical populations. Our results suggest the need for a more targeted diagnostic assessment of face perception abilities in populations under increased risk.

Full textAbstract:
Achievement of management goals for Lake Champlain (Vermont/New York, USA and Quebec, Canada) will require reduction of agricultural phosphorus loads, the dominant nonpoint source in the Basin. Cost-effective phosphorus reduction strategies need reliable treatment techniques beyond basic cropland and waste management practices. The Lake Champlain Basin Agricultural Watersheds National Monitoring Program (NMP) Project evaluates the effectiveness of livestock exclusion, streambank protection, and riparian restoration practices in reducing concentrations and loads of nutrients, sediment, and bacteria in surface waters. Treatment and control watersheds in northwestern Vermont have been monitored since 1994 according to a paired-watershed design. Monitoring consists of continuous stream discharge recording, flow-proportional sampling for total P, total Kjeldahl N, and total suspended solids, grab sampling for indicator bacterial, and land use/agricultural monitoring. Strong statistical calibration between the control and treatment watersheds has been achieved. Installation of riparian fencing, protected stream crossings, and streambank bioengineering was completed in 1997. Early post-treatment data suggest significant reduction in P concentrations and loads and in bacteria counts in the treated watershed. Monitoring is scheduled to continue through 2000.

SignificanceReducing youth e-cigarette use is a New York State (NYS) public health priority. In May 2020, a state-wide restriction on flavoured e-cigarettes, except tobacco flavour, was passed. This study examines changes in nicotine product use behaviour among youth around the time of the state-wide vaping flavour restriction.MethodsNYS data from the US International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project Youth Tobacco and E-cigarette Tobacco and Vaping Survey were analysed cross-sectionally from February 2020 (n=955), August 2020 (n=946), February 2021 (n=1030) and August 2021 (n=753). Online surveys were conducted among youth 16–19 years. Weighted descriptive statistics and regression models were used to describe changes in nicotine product use behaviour. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity and perceived family socioeconomic status.ResultsSignificant decreases in past 30-day e-cigarette use (20%–11%), cigarette (7%-4%), and dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes (5%–2%) were observed over the 2-year period in NYS. Over 95% of vapers still reported using a non-tobacco-flavoured e-cigarette following the restriction, with fruit-flavoured being the most popular at each time point.ConclusionsNearly all NYS youth continued to vape flavours that were restricted in NYS. While youth past 30-day vaping prevalence decreased significantly from 2020 to 2021, increased flavour restriction compliance could result in an even greater decrease. Continuous monitoring is important to better understand perceptions, use patterns and access at the individual level, retail level and population level to inform future enforcement and restrictions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose In recent years, the field of social studies education has seen renewed interest in using inquiry to teach intradisciplinary concepts and skills. However, prospective primary grade teachers may have few (if any) opportunities to observe classroom teachers modeling inquiry during field placements. Methods courses provide fitting contexts in which to introduce preservice teachers (PSTs) to inquiry as a basis for intellectually challenging, meaningful social studies instruction. The purpose of this paper is to utilize a published inquiry curriculum developed for the New York Social Studies Toolkit (NYSST) Project as a tool to explore PSTs’ thinking about teaching first grade economics. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study utilized focus groups with two groups of early childhood PSTs enrolled in a social studies methods course (n=28). Secondary data sources included PSTs’ handwritten comments on hard copies of the inquiry curriculum and the researcher’s analytic memos. Findings In the process of critiquing curriculum during focus group interviews, PSTs concentrated on the proposed tasks, evaluated those tasks for their potential to affect children’s understanding, and suggested new activities that would promote more active student engagement. Participants recognized the significance of children’s prior knowledge and were sensitive to students’ family values, although they underestimated young children’s capacity for robust discussion and intellectually challenging content. Originality/value This study is unique in its use of a published NYSST Project inquiry to explore how PSTs make sense of new curriculum. Its attention to PST education for primary grades contributes to elementary social studies literature. Additionally, this study addresses a general concern in teacher education about the need for PSTs to develop skills in interpreting and adapting curriculum materials. Findings suggest that engaging PSTs in discussions about social studies curriculum can help teacher educators identify latent learning goals for their courses that may be overlooked or assumed unnecessary.

Full textAbstract:
Few have examined the relationship between landscape color changes, landscape complexity, and laypersons’ visual preference ratings. We examined whether depictions of visual changes to plant and vegetative colors affect preference ratings, estimations of complexity, and computed color information entropy values. Photographs depicted four visual states of plant growth—winter dormancy, foliation, flowering, and senescence—in color at four locations on each of three landscape architecture project sites in New York and Pennsylvania. Participants viewed and evaluated the scenes depicted in the photographs for preference (n = 52) and estimated the presence of complexity (n = 47). A multiparadigm numerical computing environment performed algorithmic functions to calculate Shannon information entropy values of perceptual and categorical colors for each photograph. The visual changes depicted significantly affected perceptual color information entropy values, but significant effects were not found in three contrasts between values for the four stages of plant and vegetative growth. Preference ratings for foliated scenes were significantly higher than those for dormant and senescent scenes. Respondents’ complexity estimations for foliated scenes were lower than those of flowering and senescent, yet complexity and preference did not correlate. Preference correlated strongly and positively with perceptual color information entropy, which may help predict landscape preference. However, the presence of green foliage may affect preference more than perceptual color information entropy within scenes.

Background Chinese students are extremely vulnerable to developing mental illness. The stigma associated with mental illness presents a barrier to seeking help for their mental health. Objective The Linking Hearts—Linking Youth and ‘Xin’ (hearts) project is an implementation science project that seeks to reduce mental illness stigma and promote the mental health of university students in Jinan, China. The Linking Hearts project consists of 3 components. In this paper, we outline the protocol for the first component, that is, the contextual assessment and analysis of the mental health needs of university students as the first step to inform the adaptation of an evidence-based intervention to be implemented in Jinan, China. Methods Six local universities will participate in the Linking Hearts project. A total of 100 students from each university (n=600) will engage in the contextual assessment through self-report surveys on depression, anxiety, stress, mental health knowledge, and mental health stigma. Quantitative data will be analyzed using several descriptive and inferential analyses via SPSS. A small number of participants (144 students and 144 service providers) will also be engaged in focus groups to assess the socio-environmental contexts of university students’ health and availability of mental health resources. Qualitative data will be transcribed verbatim and NVivo will be used for data management. Social network analysis will also be performed using EgoNet. Results Linking Hearts was funded in January 2018 for 5 years. The protocol of Linking Hearts and its 3 components was approved by the research ethics boards of all participating institutions in China in November 2018. Canadian institutions that gave approval were Ryerson University (REB2018-455) in January 2019, University of Alberta (Pro00089364), York University (e2019-162) in May 2019, and University of Toronto (RIS37724) in August 2019. Data collection took place upon ethics approval and was completed in January 2020. A total of 600 students were surveyed. An additional 147 students and 138 service providers took part in focus groups. Data analysis is ongoing. Results will be published in 2021. Conclusions Findings from this contextual assessment and analysis will generate new knowledge on university students’ mental health status, mental health knowledge, and resources available for them. These findings will be used to adapt and refine the Acceptance and Commitment to Empowerment-Linking Youth N’ Xin intervention model. The results of this contextual assessment will be used to inform the adaptation and refinement of the mental health intervention to promote the mental health of Chinese university students in Jinan.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines adoption of online grocery shopping, and potential cost and time savings compared to brick and mortar food retailers, by New York City public housing residents using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. A mixed methods action research project involving the co-creation of an online shopping club, the Farragut Food Club (FFC), recruited 300 members who registered to shop online using SNAP, and received waivers on delivery minimums and provided technical assistance and centralized food delivery. We conducted a survey (n = 206) and focus groups to understand shopping practices; FFC members collected receipts of groceries over two weeks before and after the pilot to measure foods purchased, stores patronized, and prices. We interviewed FFC members to elicit experiences with the pilot, and estimated cost differences between products purchased in brick and mortar stores and equivalent products online, and transportation time and cost differences. Online shopping represented a small (2.4%) percentage of grocery spending. Unit prices for products purchased on Amazon ($0.28) were significantly higher than for equivalent products purchased in brick and mortar stores ($0.23) (p < 0.001.)

Artificial insemination has proven to be a valuable asset to the cattle industry. It is assumed that once good quality semen is frozen in liquid nitrogen it should remain viable indefinitely; however, semen viability has not been systematically evaluated after being stored for several decades. In this experiment, frozen semen from 25 purebred Angus bulls processed during 3 time periods (1960-1975 = 5 bulls; 1976-1991 = 11; 1992-2002 = 9 bulls) was used to randomly inseminate purebred lactating Angus cows and heifers and lactating crossbred beef cows. In experiment 1, Angus cows (n = 24) and Angus heifers (n = 16) and in experiment 2, crossbred cattle (n = 88) of 5 breeds (Beefmaster, Romosinuano, Bons Mara, Brangus, Brangus F1) were artificially inseminated with frozen-thawed Angus bulls semen from the 3 time periods. All females were in good body condition and at least 45 days postpartum and were synchronized using the SelectSynch protocol. Briefly, on treatment Day 0, females received an Eazi-Breed CIDR (Pfizer Animal Health, New York, NY, USA) implant and were administered GnRH (Factryl, 100 μg im), on Day 7, prostaglandin (Lutalyse, 25 mg im, Pfizer Animal Health) was administered and the CIDR removed. Cattle not responding to synchronization were subjected an additional prostaglandin treatment 8 to 10 days later. Estrus detection was conducted using the HeatWatch™ system for the Angus females and with Estrotect™ patches for the crossbred females. Females fitted with HeatWatch transponders that were successfully mounted 4 times within a 6-h period were considered to be in standing estrus and were inseminated 12 to 14 h later. Females fitted with Estrotect patches were observed twice daily (morning and evening) to identify females whose patch was scratched. Females were inseminated by an experienced technician 12 to 14h after the patch were observed as being scratched a minimum of 50%. Response to synchronization in Angus cows and heifers was 76% (n = 40), whereas in the crossbred cattle the response was 74% (n = 88). Cows and heifers were confirmed pregnant via transrectal ultrasonography 45 days postinsemination. Pregnancy rates confirmed by chi-square analysis were not different for Angus cows and heifers (58% and 43%, respectively). Also, pregnancy rates for the Angus females were not different across time periods 1, 2, and 3 (58, 43, and 53%, respectively). Pregnancy rates for crossbred females were not different across time periods 1, 2, and 3 (35, 60, and 44%, respectively). Overall pregnancy rates (experiments 1 and 2) were 47, 52, and 40% across time periods 1, 2, and 3 respectively. It is concluded from this study that semen units processed and frozen from Angus bulls from time periods 1, 2, and 3 (from the 1960s through to 2002) are still viable and produce similar pregnancy rates in artificially inseminated beef females. Thanks to Jared Pitchfordfor inseminating all of the cattle; Harvey Blackburn for providing the semen to make the project possible; and my advisors Dr. Gentry and Dr. Godkefor assisting throughout the entire project. I also thank all of the graduate students who have helped me throughout the project.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to further elucidate proximal and distal demographic and social predictors of Internet Health Information Seeking Behavior (IHISB) among a cohort of HIV+ individuals through an ecological framework. Methods: The Community Health Advisory & Information Network (CHAIN) project is an ongoing prospective study of a representative sample of persons living with HIV/AIDS in New York City and the Tri-County region. The study sample was drawn from a two-stage randomized technique with the clients of 43 medical and social service organizations with 693 HIV+ participants. Bivariate correlations were computed between IHISB and independent demographic variables in ecological blocks. Multivariate hierarchical logistic regression was used to test association between blocks of variables and IHISB. Results: Among the surveyed respondents (n=645) 50.3% indicated that they used the Internet. Being above the poverty line, having less than a high school education, and having fewer neighbors were statistically significant predictors of IHISB related to HIV. Conclusions: The benefits of accessing the Internet may influence health behavior and may be considered a target for interventions that aim to increase access to health related information online. Coupled with increased access, is the need for increased patient education interventions, and creative managed care approaches to ensure that information gleaned from online sources is interpretable and accurate in order to benefit the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS.

In this essay, Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández reflects on the comments made in a forum convened to reflect on his article “Why the Arts Don't Do Anything: Toward a New Vision for Cultural Production in Education,” published in the Harvard Educational Review (HER)'s special issue entitled Expanding Our Vision for the Arts in Education (Vol. 83, No. 1). Participants in the forum (published in HER Vol. 83, No.3) were John Abodeely, manager of national partnerships, John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts, Washington, DC; Ken Cole, associate director, National Guild for Community Arts Education, New York City; Janna Graham, project curator of the Serpentine Gallery, Centre for Possible Studies, London; Ayanna N. Hudson, director of arts education, National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, DC; and Carmen Mörsch, head of the Research Institute for Art Education, Zurich University of the Arts. In his original essay, Gaztambide-Fernández makes the case that advocacy for arts education is trapped within a “rhetoric of effects” that relies too heavily on causal arguments for the arts, whether construed as instrumental or intrinsic. Gaztambide- Fernández further argues that what counts as “the arts” is based on traditional, Eurocentric, hierarchical notions of aesthetic experience. As an alternative, he suggests a “rhetoric of cultural production” that would focus on the cultural processes and experiences that ensue in particular contexts shaped by practices of symbolic work and creativity. Here the author engages the forum's discussion in an effort to clarify his argument and move the dialogue forward.

Abstract Cancer survivors over the age of sixty-five have specialized supportive care needs related to maintaining their health and quality of life after treatment. However, cancer survivors living in rural areas may experience barriers like limited digital infrastructure and/or low health literacy when attempting to access necessary informational resources. This project sought to identify older adult rural cancer survivors’ domains of unmet informational support and experiences searching for supportive informational resources. Data from a survey administered to cancer survivors (N=292 with complete age data) in rural areas of Western New York (RUCA codes 7-10) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Variables of interest included Internet access, information-seeking activities, cancer-related topics of interest, and information search experiences. Fifty-four percent of participants in the sample self-identified as over the age of 65. Among older adult cancer survivors, 62% reported using the Internet. The following topics were identified as unmet cancer survivorship information needs: (1) decreasing the risk of cancer recurrence, (2) new symptoms that warrant contacting one’s doctor, and (3) medical advances in treatment. Most older adult respondents (70%) were confident in their ability to find needed health information but 40% were concerned about the quality of the information they found and 31% found their search experience frustrating. While rural cancer survivors have access to digital resources and report confidence in their ability to find survivorship information, our findings highlight the need for tailored information on cancer survivorship and interventions to support information appraisal and selecting high quality informational sources.

Bidang penelitian tentang aliran angin pada bangunan sangat penting baik untuk perencanaan bangunan maupun pemukiman. Aliran angin yang mempengaruhi bangunan memiliki dampak pada ketahanan struktural terhadap angin. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai drag coefficient atau gaya hambat terhadap angin yang dihasilkan pada atap miring dengan nilai sudut yang berbeda. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan menguji model atap melalui simulasi CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) pada software Autodesk Flow Design. Hasil uji lima atap miring dengan nilai 0o, 15o, 30o, 45o, dan 60o menujukkan bahwa semakin besar sudut atap maka semakin besar luas bidang atap yang bersentuhan dengan aliran angin datang, hal ini sejalan dengan nilai average drag coefficient yang dihasilkan. Atap dengan sudut 60o memiliki luas bidang atap dan nilai average drag coefficient yang tertinggi diantara kelima sudut atap yang diuji, dengan nilai luas 72 m2 menghasilkan nilai average drag coefficient sebesar 1,4. Bangunan dengan nilai drag coefficient yang tinggi memiliki resiko kerusakan struktur yang tinggi akibat angin karena memiliki bentuk yang kurang aerodinamis.Kata-kata Kunci: aliran angin, atap miring, Flow Design, drag coefficient.ANALYSIS OF WIND FLOW PATTERN ON SLOPED ROOF USING FLOW DESIGN SIMULATIONThe field of research on wind flow on buildings is important for both building planning and planning a residential areas. Wind flow affecting the building has an impact on structural resistance to the wind. The study was conducted to find out the value of drag coefficient or drag force against the wind generated on the sloped roof with different angle values. The method applied by tested the roof model through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) simulation through Autodesk Flow Design software. The test results of five sloped roofs with angle 0o, 15o, 30o, 45o, and 60o showed that the higher the angle of the roof, the larger the area of the roof in contact with the approaching wind flow. This is in line with the average drag coefficient value generated. The roof with an angle of 60o has a large roof area and the highest average drag coefficient among the five tested roof angles, with an area of 72 m2 yields and average drag coefficient of 1.4. Buildings with high drag coefficient value have a high risk of structural damage due to wind because it has a less aerodynamic shape.Keywords: wind flow, sloped roof, Flow Design, drag coefficient REFERENCESAutodeks Help (2015), Get Started With Autodesk Flow Design, https://www.autodesk.com/products/flow-design/overview (diakses tanggal 5 November 2017)Bhandari NM, Krishna P.

Objective: To determine whether the coding strategies used to identify severe sepsis in administrative data sets could identify cases with comparable case mix, hospitalization characteristics, and outcomes as a cohort of children diagnosed with severe sepsis using strict clinical criteria. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from 2005 to 2011 from the New York and Florida State Inpatient Databases, available from the US Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. We compared 4 coding strategies: the single International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ( ICD-9-CM) codes for (1) severe sepsis or (2) septic shock, and the algorithms developed by (3) Angus et al or (4) Martin et al, which use a combination of ICD-9-CM codes for infection and organ dysfunction. We compared the cases identified by each strategy with each other and with children enrolled in the REsearching severe Sepsis and Organ dysfunction in children: a gLobal perspectiVE (RESOLVE) trial. Results: The Angus criteria was 9 times larger (n = 23 995) than the smallest cohort, identified by the “septic shock” code (n = 2 601). Cases identified by the Angus and Martin strategies had low mortality rates, while the cases identified by the “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” codes had much higher mortality at all time points (eg, 28-day mortality of 4.4% and 7.4% vs 15.4% and 16.0%, respectively). Mortality in the “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” code cohorts was similar to that presented in the RESOLVE trial. Conclusions: The ICD-9-CM codes for “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” identify smaller but higher acuity cohorts of patients that more closely resemble the children enrolled in the largest clinical trial of pediatric severe sepsis to date.

Background: In acknowledgement of the importance of research competency in academic medicine, an extracurricular student research program and faculty development researcher pathway was developed to promote scholarly productivity at New York University (NYU) Long Island School of Medicine (LISOM), a three-year accelerated Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-accredited medical school. The aim was to enhance medical students’ and faculty scholarly productivity, by creating new training programs targeting research skills and academic collaboration. Impact was assessed by initial review of the extracurricular student research program and faculty development researcher pathway. Methods: Electronic surveys via Google were sent out to all current (n = 72) students on 9/20/2021 and the faculty identified based on their primary appointment to NYU LISOM in the learning management system on 9/17/2021 to determine participation in research, presentation of research findings, satisfaction with the program, and research opportunities for students. Student scholarly productivity was tracked using PubMed, restricted to search years 2020 through 2022. For the faculty development researcher pathway, publications were tracked for each participant before and after completion of the program, with pre- and post-completion dates ranging from 2012 through 2020. Results: Student survey results (29 responses out of 72) indicated 28% of students were involved in research with institutional faculty and 59% were interested in starting a research project. Most students involved in extracurricular research were satisfied with their experience and eight students have publications with faculty. For the faculty development researcher pathway, 35% of the participants increased publications after program graduation. Conclusions: Outcomes from the student research program and faculty researcher pathway were positive regarding student research engagement and faculty scholarly productivity, though long-term outcomes are yet to be evaluated. Progress will be tracked as students continue through undergraduate and graduate medical education, and as both students and faculty progress throughout their career.

Full textAbstract:
Engineers ultimately work in multi-disciplinary workplaces, yet degree structures and siloing of subjects typically prevent students from interacting with those outside of their own discipline. As products and technology become increasingly complex, engineers can no longer do design in isolation. Learning designs need to mirror real world complex team projects. In this project we provide an example of how Design-Based Research can be used as a meta methodology to design a learning experience that is implemented through a design-based collaborative student team project. An important part of the design process is to understand the interface with other disciplines of engineering and be able to specify appropriate requirements and verify that those requirements are being met. If these groups of students do not interact while at university, they are ill-prepared to do such design across disciplinary boundaries in the workplace. Moreover, if they are incapable of being able to formally specify what they require from other engineers, then they would not be able to verify that the design meets those specifications. This capstone project seeks to address these issues through the following objectives:
Develop a multi-disciplinary team design project that can be rolled out to two core, candidate subjects in different departments in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT);
Develop appropriate learning activities that support the project and promote cohort interaction outside of traditional discipline / departmental boundaries;
Design relevant feedback and evaluation mechanisms in order to monitor student team progress and gauge the effectiveness of the approach in building cohort, enhancing student graduate outcomes and employability skills;
Enhance students’ communication and project management skills;
Expose students to real-world engineering practices through the involvement of an industry partner in the scoping and design process.
The project takes a Design-based Research (DBR) (McKenney and Reeves, 2019) approach that aligns
with the four stages of DBR that is mirrored in both the design of the learning experience and in the student design project itself:
Analysis – problem identification (Threshold Concepts: transdisciplinary collaboration, authentic learning), literature review, establishment of a collaborative learning design team
Design prototype intervention (design of authentic learning environment)
Evaluation (implementation of prototype with stakeholders – students/industry partner) - Re-Design / Evaluation Iterative Loop
Development of Transferable Design Principles for designing authentic (real world) transdisciplinary learning environments in collaboration with industry
Designing a speaker system, which contains electrical and mechanical systems that interact in a complex transfer of energy from electrical to mechanical to acoustic energy, is an inherently multidisciplinary endeavour consisting of both electrical and mechanical engineering concepts. This project will be completed by two capstone teams, one with a mechanical engineering focus and one with an electrical engineering focus, that will closely interact with each other in order to produce a working speaker system that will be tested and evaluated by an industry partner, creating an authentic learning experience (Herrington et al., 2014).
A particular speaker application will first be chosen by the project teams (e.g. PA speaker, bookshelf speaker, instrument speaker, studio monitor), with corresponding design goals to be determined by the team. Teams will be required to select appropriate speaker drivers, supplied by the industry partner, to form the basis of electrical and mechanical design of the (minimum) two-driver speaker system utilising established design principles (Theile, 1971a, 1971b; Small, 1972, 1973a, 1973b).
The Speaker System Design (Electrical) project team will focus on designing the electrical / electronic side of the speaker system, including modelling, building and testing both passive and active types of crossovers in order to achieve the required performance for the chosen application and consider aspects such as frequency domain performance, power, heat and cost. The electrical project team must interface with the mechanical project team to understand the mechanical characteristics of the enclosure that the speaker is being placed in to design their crossovers.
The Speaker System Design (Mechanical) project team will focus on designing the mechanical / acoustic side of the speaker system, including designing, modelling low frequency response, building and testing a suitable enclosure to minimise vibrations and diffraction and ensure suitable performance characteristics for the chosen application consider aspects such as exterior construction materials, geometry of the design, high frequency diffusion patterns, venting and interior absorption materials to minimise resonances. The mechanical project team must interface with the electrical project team to understand the characteristics of the speaker-driving circuitry to design a suitable enclosure.
The main pedagogical outcomes of the project are to give electrical and mechanical engineering students a real world experience of transdisciplinary collaboration. We will use pre/post student questionnaires and post project focus groups to evaluate the impact of the project on the student learning experience. University ethics consent will be applied for, involving participant consent and information forms, and anonymous data collection.
This presentation will introduce the first two phases of the Design-Based Research project as an example of implementing DBR to design authentic learning – the pedagogical problem analysis, and the proposed prototype educational design capstone project.

Abstract Paid caregivers (e.g., personal care aides, home health aides, other direct care workers) provide essential care that allows people with dementia to remain living at home, yet little is known about the lived experience of this care. This project uses multiple perspective, qualitative longitudinal interviews to explore paid caregiver role in home-based dementia care. We conducted one-on-one interviews via telephone or zoom with the family caregiver, paid caregiver, and geriatrician of an individual person with moderate or severe dementia (n=9) living at home in New York City. After an initial interview, up to 2 additional interviews (at 3 and 6 month intervals) were also conducted for a total of 75 interviews with 29 unique respondents. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using the framework method of analysis. Interviews revealed nuanced care arrangements, but paid caregiver role in care remained largely stable over time. Key findings include: (1) Family caregivers played a primary role in determining overall paid caregiver role in care, (2) Paid caregivers describe the emotional components of caregiving (e.g. being “like family”, having patience) more frequently than families or doctors, and (3) Doctors rarely engage with paid caregivers unless family involvement is limited. The unique structure of each triad emphasizes the importance of person-centered dementia home care. Formal care plans may not reflect the nuances of care arrangements and responsibilities. Rather than prescriptive standards for home care, improved communication and clear expectation setting may help meet the complex needs of people with dementia and their families.

Several challenges fill the distance learning program in the Philippines and the Public-Private Partnerships implementation process. The educational system in the Philippines, like any other developing country, is severely affected during these pandemic times. Although the public schools already employed the programs and resource mobilization, partnership effectiveness is not yet fully determined. As such, our qualitative study applied the concept lenses of SDG#17 and SDG#4 to describe the degree of integration of practices and principles during the implementation of PPPs in the distance learning program. Semi-structured interviews and content analysis were conducted among public school principals in Mandaluyong City in NCR, Philippines. The prevailing PPP practices and principles are Upfront commitment to maintenance, and predictability and transparency of whole-oflife costs, creation of specific obligations of both parties, the establishment of educational objectives in the MOA, evaluation of the work progress & completion based on the targets, and lastly, sharing results of the outcome of these educational endeavors. The commitment of the teachers is the main enabling factor, while the poor internet connectivity and effect and restrictions brought about by the COVID19 pandemic are the hindering factors in the distance learning program. This paper can serve as a source of reference in establishing a long-term sustainable plan for implementing partnership efforts in quality education across the regions in the Philippines. We could also utilize the results of this study in the process of policy innovation to implement all the PPPs and maximize the impact elsewhere in achieving all the SDGs.ReferencesAlmarri, K. & Abuhijleh, B.

Background The management of chronic thoracic aortic aneurysms includes conservative management, watchful waiting, endovascular stent grafting and open surgical replacement. The Effective Treatments for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (ETTAA) study investigates timing and intervention choice. Objective To describe pre- and post-intervention management of and outcomes for chronic thoracic aortic aneurysms. Design A systematic review of intervention effects; a Delphi study of 360 case scenarios based on aneurysm size, location, age, operative risk and connective tissue disorders; and a prospective cohort study of growth, clinical outcomes, costs and quality of life. Setting Thirty NHS vascular/cardiothoracic units. Participants Patients aged > 17 years who had existing or new aneurysms of ≥ 4 cm in diameter in the arch, descending or thoracoabdominal aorta. Interventions Endovascular stent grafting and open surgical replacement. Main outcomes Pre-intervention aneurysm growth, pre-/post-intervention survival, clinical events, readmissions and quality of life; and descriptive statistics for costs and quality-adjusted life-years over 12 months and value of information using a propensity score-matched subsample. Results The review identified five comparative cohort studies (endovascular stent grafting patients, n = 3955; open surgical replacement patients, n = 21,197). Pooled short-term all-cause mortality favoured endovascular stent grafting (odds ratio 0.71, 95% confidence interval 0.51 to 0.98; no heterogeneity). Data on survival beyond 30 days were mixed. Fewer short-term complications were reported with endovascular stent grafting. The Delphi study included 20 experts (13 centres). For patients with aneurysms of ≤ 6.0 cm in diameter, watchful waiting was preferred. For patients with aneurysms of > 6.0 cm, open surgical replacement was preferred in the arch, except for elderly or high-risk patients, and in the descending aorta if patients had connective tissue disorders. Otherwise endovascular stent grafting was preferred. Between 2014 and 2018, 886 patients were recruited (watchful waiting, n = 489; conservative management, n = 112; endovascular stent grafting, n = 150; open surgical replacement, n = 135). Pre-intervention death rate was 8.6% per patient-year; 49.6% of deaths were aneurysm related. Death rates were higher for women (hazard ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval 1.25 to 2.57; p = 0.001) and older patients (age 61–70 years: hazard ratio 2.50, 95% confidence interval 0.76 to 5.43; age 71–80 years: hazard ratio 3.49, 95% confidence interval 1.26 to 9.66; age > 80 years: hazard ratio 7.01, 95% confidence interval 2.50 to 19.62; all compared with age < 60 years, p < 0.001) and per 1-cm increase in diameter (hazard ratio 1.90, 95% confidence interval 1.65 to 2.18; p = 0.001). The results were similar for aneurysm-related deaths. Decline per year in quality of life was greater for older patients (additional change –0.013 per decade increase in age, 95% confidence interval –0.019 to –0.007; p < 0.001) and smokers (additional change for ex-smokers compared with non-smokers 0.003, 95% confidence interval –0.026 to 0.032; additional change for current smokers compared with non-smokers –0.034, 95% confidence interval –0.057 to –0.01; p = 0.004). At the time of intervention, endovascular stent grafting patients were older (age difference 7.1 years; 95% confidence interval 4.7 to 9.5 years; p < 0.001) and more likely to be smokers (75.8% vs. 66.4%; p = 0.080), have valve disease (89.9% vs. 71.6%; p < 0.0001), have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (21.3% vs. 13.3%; p = 0.087), be at New York Heart Association stage III/IV (22.3% vs. 16.0%; p = 0.217), have lower levels of haemoglobin (difference –6.8 g/l, 95% confidence interval –11.2 to –2.4 g/l; p = 0.003) and take statins (69.3% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001). Ten (6.7%) endovascular stent grafting and 15 (11.1%) open surgical replacement patients died within 30 days of the procedure (p = 0.2107). One-year overall survival was 82.5% (95% confidence interval 75.2% to 87.8%) after endovascular stent grafting and 79.3% (95% confidence interval 71.1% to 85.4%) after open surgical replacement. Variables affecting survival were aneurysm site, age, New York Heart Association stage and time waiting for procedure. For endovascular stent grafting, utility decreased slightly, by –0.017 (95% confidence interval –0.062 to 0.027), in the first 6 weeks. For open surgical replacement, there was a substantial decrease of –0.160 (95% confidence interval –0.199 to –0.121; p < 0.001) up to 6 weeks after the procedure. Over 12 months endovascular stent grafting was less costly, with higher quality-adjusted life-years. Formal economic analysis was unfeasible. Limitations The study was limited by small numbers of patients receiving interventions and because only 53% of patients were suitable for both interventions. Conclusions Small (4–6 cm) aneurysms require close observation. Larger (> 6 cm) aneurysms require intervention without delay. Endovascular stent grafting and open surgical replacement were successful for carefully selected patients, but cost comparisons were unfeasible. The choice of intervention is well established, but the timing of intervention remains challenging. Future work Further research should include an analysis of the risk factors for growth/rupture and long-term outcomes. Trial registration Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN04044627 and NCT02010892.

Full textAbstract:
Background The VEDERA (Very Early vs. Delayed Etanercept in Rheumatoid Arthritis) randomised controlled trial compared the effect of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (csDMARD) therapy with biologic DMARD (bDMARD) therapy using the tumour necrosis factor inhibitor etanercept in treatment-naive, early rheumatoid arthritis patients. The CADERA (Coronary Artery Disease Evaluation in Rheumatoid Arthritis) trial was a bolt-on study in which VEDERA patients underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to detect preclinical cardiovascular disease at baseline and following treatment. Objectives To evaluate whether or not patients with treatment-naive early rheumatoid arthritis have evidence of cardiovascular disease compared with matched control subjects; whether or not this is modifiable with DMARD therapy; and whether or not bDMARDs confer advantages over csDMARDs. Design The VEDERA patients underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and at 1 and 2 years after treatment. Setting The setting was a tertiary centre rheumatology outpatient clinic and specialist cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging unit. Participants Eighty-one patients completed all assessments at baseline, 71 completed all assessments at 1 year and 56 completed all assessments at 2 years. Patients had no history of cardiovascular disease, had had rheumatoid arthritis symptoms for ≤ 1 year, were DMARD treatment-naive and had a minimum Disease Activity Score-28 of 3.2. Thirty control subjects without cardiovascular disease were approximately individually matched by age and sex to the first 30 CADERA patients. Patients with a Disease Activity Score-28 of ≥ 2.6 at 48 weeks were considered non-responders. Interventions In the VEDERA trial patients were randomised to group 1, immediate etanercept and methotrexate, or group 2, methotrexate ± additional csDMARD therapy in a treat-to-target approach, with a switch to delayed etanercept and methotrexate in the event of failure to achieve clinical remission at 6 months. Main outcome measures The primary outcome measure was difference in baseline aortic distensibility between control subjects and the early rheumatoid arthritis group and the baseline to year 1 change in aortic distensibility in the early rheumatoid arthritis group. Secondary outcome measures were myocardial perfusion reserve, left ventricular strain and twist, left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular mass. Results Baseline aortic distensibility [geometric mean (95% confidence interval)] was significantly reduced in patients (n = 81) compared with control subjects (n = 30) [3.0 × 10–3/mmHg (2.7 × 10–3/mmHg to 3.3 × 10–3/mmHg) vs. 4.4 × 10–3/mmHg (3.7 × 10–3/mmHg to 5.2 × 10–3/mmHg), respectively; p < 0.001]. Aortic distensibility [geometric mean (95% confidence interval)] improved significantly from baseline to year 1 across the whole patient cohort (n = 81, with imputation for missing values) [3.0 × 10–3/mmHg (2.7 × 10–3/mmHg to 3.4 × 10–3/mmHg) vs. 3.6 × 10–3/mmHg (3.1 × 10–3/mmHg to 4.1 × 10–3/mmHg), respectively; p < 0.001]. No significant difference in aortic distensibility improvement between baseline and year 1 was seen in the following comparisons (geometric means): group 1 (n = 40 at baseline) versus group 2 (n = 41 at baseline): 3.8 × 10–3/mmHg versus 3.4 × 10–3/mmHg, p = 0.49; combined groups 1 and 2 non-responders (n = 38) versus combined groups 1 and 2 responders (n = 43): 3.5 × 10–3/mmHg versus 3.6 × 10–3/mmHg, p = 0.87; group 1 non-responders (n = 17) versus group 1 responders (n = 23): 3.6 × 10–3/mmHg versus 3.9 × 10–3/mmHg, p = 0.73. There was a trend towards a 10–30% difference in aortic distensibility between (group 1) responders who received first-line etanercept (n = 23) and (group 2) responders who never received etanercept (n = 13): 3.9 × 10–3/mmHg versus 2.8 × 10–3/mmHg, p = 0.19; ratio 0.7 (95% confidence interval 0.4 to 1.2), p = 0.19; ratio adjusted for baseline aortic distensibility 0.8 (95% confidence interval 0.5 to 1.2), p = 0.29; ratio fully adjusted for baseline characteristics 0.9 (95% confidence interval 0.6 to 1.4), p = 0.56. Conclusions The CADERA establishes evidence of the vascular changes in early rheumatoid arthritis compared with controls and shows improvement of vascular changes with rheumatoid arthritis DMARD therapy. Response to rheumatoid arthritis therapy does not add further to modification of cardiovascular disease but, within the response to either strategy, etanercept/methotrexate may confer greater benefits over standard methotrexate/csDMARD therapy.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using mind mapping method in improving early childhood educator’s skill in mastering the child development assessment. This research is quasi-experimental using a pre-test and post-test design. The population was the entire classes of early childhood education training held by LPK Yayasan Indonesia Mendidik Jaka Sampurna at Cileungsi, Bogor. The participants were 45 early childhood educators. This study used three research methods which are implemented from learning methods in child development assessment was as pre-test and post-test. Data were collected by using two instruments to measure early childhood educators for child development assessment. The data were analysed by using t-test to measures the differences data in pre-test and post-test. The results showed that the use of mind mapping methods can help early childhood educators to improve their mastery of the development assessment concept which averages 51.9 percent. It showed significant results with ttest value is 18,266 (N = 10, α = 0,0). This capacity building is reinforced by various qualitative findings which arise from early childhood educators’ awareness to change the old learning style into learning by mind mapping method as a learning method that follows how the brain works. This study also found that early childhood educators as adults who are in the stage of formal thinking have shown an understanding that mind mapping method are appropriate, fast, easy and practical in mastering various development assessment concepts. Early childhood educators believe that they can use the method for mastering other material concepts.

Abstract Abstract 2239 Introduction: Socioeconomic, environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors play a role in the etiology of ITP but are poorly understood. A self-reported questionnaire was designed to study these relationships and how these factors prior to the diagnosis of ITP relate to treatment response and disease progression in order to gain insight into the etiology of ITP. Methods: To design the questionnaire that would address topics of interest: 1) 60 ITP patient interviews were performed and 2) the questionnaire was reviewed by project coordinators, nurse practitioners, Platelet Disorder Support Association (PDSA) members, and hematologists. The input was incorporated into a further-revised questionnaire, which was then administered to both “pediatric” (patients <18 years of age at the time of diagnosis) and adult ITP patients from the Platelet Disorders Center at Weill Cornell - New York Presbyterian Hospital. Formal statistical analysis to relate responses to one question to responses of another to define sub-groups of patients is ongoing. Results: 109 patients were enrolled. Ages ranged from 2–78 years of age; median age was 55 years, with 21 females and 33 “pediatric” patients. The most frequent environmental exposures in adults were automotive exhaust (n=14) and Teflon (n=12). In pediatrics, preservatives and insecticides (n=8) and Teflon (n=7) were most common. The most prevalent hazardous substances in both groups were cleaning supplies (n=16 adults, n=9 “pediatric”) and chlorinated water (n=13 adult, n=9 “pediatric”). 13 adults also had exposure to gasoline or diesel fumes. Refer to figure 1. 51(47%) patients reported at least one infection prior to diagnosis with ITP. The most common were Strep throat (n=12); influenza (n=9), and respiratory tract infections (n=8). Twenty-four (22%) patients reported at least one autoimmune disease, including celiac (n=2) and discoid lupus (n=2).Twenty-one patients reported a family history of Type II diabetes, 12 Type I diabetes, 13 osteoarthritis and 10 rheumatoid arthritis. Eight (7%) patients reported at least one inflammatory disease including: Crohn's disease (n=3), Inflammatory bowel disease (n=7), Systemic lupus erythematous and Vitiligo(each n=1). Thirty-seven (34%) patients reported surgeries prior to diagnosis of ITP, especially: appendectomy (n=8) and tonsil removal (n=8). Twenty-three patients traveled close to date of diagnosis, 58 patients reported more stress than usual (i.e. death of a relative, loss of employment); 13 patients reported a drastic change in diet (i.e. decreasing calories (n=7) or becoming vegetarian (n=5)). Vitamin supplementation for vitamin C and D (each n=17), E (n=12) and B (n=11) were common. In addition, 11 vitamin deficiencies were reported, vitamin D (n=5), vitamin B12 (n=3) and other (n=3). The most frequent allergic reactions included: 31 (28%) patients with hay fever, 9 patients with allergies to milk, 7 patients with poison ivy or skin irritation, 6 patients with eczema, and 4 with allergic rhinitis. Other medical conditions reported were: hypothyroidism (n=10), hyperthyroidism (n=9), high blood pressure (N=16), high cholesterol (N=14), and anemia (N=13) [9 additional patients included 4 with iron deficiency anemia and 5 with a family history of iron deficiency anemia]. Seven patients reported a lack of prenatal care in their mothers' pregnancy and 7 were premature. Medications reported include: acetaminophen (n=53), antibiotics (n=36), antihistamines (n=22), and hormone therapy (n=17). Vaccinations received close to date of diagnosis include: flu vaccine (n=10) and T-dap (n=9). Prednisone was reported most frequently as both the best therapy to minimize symptoms (n=18) and the worst (n=16). Conclusion: Our pilot study intended to capture critical information and to further development of the questionnaire. We can see if there are groups of patients in whom onset and other characteristics relate to outcomes including response to treatment. Following formal statistical analysis of the material acquired (in progress and anticipated by early September), the next step will be for a final updated version of the questionnaire to be posted on the PDSA web site in order to accrue responses from a much larger number of patients. The questionnaire will also be given to a non-ITP patient population to serve as controls.

A randomised trial of home oxygen therapy for patients with chronic heart failure." Health Technology Assessment 19, no. 75 (September 2015): 1–120. http://dx.doi.org/10.3310/hta19750.
Full textAbstract:
BackgroundHome oxygen therapy (HOT) is commonly used for patients with severe chronic heart failure (CHF) who have intractable breathlessness. There is no trial evidence to support its use.ObjectivesTo detect whether or not there was a quality-of-life benefit from HOT given as long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for at least 15 hours per day in the home, including overnight hours, compared with best medical therapy (BMT) in patients with severely symptomatic CHF.DesignA pragmatic, two-arm, randomised controlled trial recruiting patients with severe CHF. It included a linked qualitative substudy to assess the views of patients using home oxygen, and a free-standing substudy to assess the haemodynamic effects of acute oxygen administration.SettingHeart failure outpatient clinics in hospital or the community, in a range of urban and rural settings.ParticipantsPatients had to have heart failure from any aetiology, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV symptoms, at least moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and be receiving maximally tolerated medical management. Patients were excluded if they had had a cardiac resynchronisation therapy device implanted within the past 3 months, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease fulfilling the criteria for LTOT or malignant disease that would impair survival or were using a device or medication that would impede their ability to use LTOT.InterventionsPatients received BMT and were randomised (unblinded) to open-label LTOT, prescribed for 15 hours per day including overnight hours, or no oxygen therapy.Main outcome measuresThe primary end point was quality of life as measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLwHF) questionnaire score at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included assessing the effect of LTOT on patient symptoms and disease severity, and assessing its acceptability to patients and carers.ResultsBetween April 2012 and February 2014, 114 patients were randomised to receive either LTOT or BMT. The mean age was 72.3 years [standard deviation (SD) 11.3 years] and 70% were male. Ischaemic heart disease was the cause of heart failure in 84%; 95% were in NYHA class III; the mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 27.8%; and the median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic hormone was 2203 ng/l. The primary analysis used a covariance pattern mixed model which included patients only if they provided data for all baseline covariates adjusted for in the model and outcome data for at least one post-randomisation time point (n = 102: intervention,n = 51; control,n = 51). There was no difference in the MLwHF questionnaire score at 6 months between the two arms [at baseline the mean score was 54.0 (SD 18.4) for LTOT and 54.0 (SD 17.9) for BMT; at 6 months the mean score was 48.1 (SD 18.5) for LTOT and 49.0 (SD 20.2) for BMT; adjusted mean difference –0.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) –6.88 to 6.69;p = 0.98]. At 3 months, the adjusted mean MLwHF questionnaire score was lower in the LTOT group (–5.47, 95% CI –10.54 to –0.41;p = 0.03) and breathlessness scores improved, although the effect did not persist to 6 months. There was no effect of LTOT on any secondary measure. There was a greater number of deaths in the BMT arm (n = 12 vs.n = 6). Adherence was poor, with only 11% of patients reporting using the oxygen as prescribed.ConclusionsAlthough the study was significantly underpowered, HOT prescribed for 15 hours per day and subsequently used for a mean of 5.4 hours per day has no impact on quality of life as measured by the MLwHF questionnaire score at 6 months. Suggestions for future research include (1) a trial of patients with severe heart failure randomised to have emergency oxygen supply in the house, supplied by cylinders rather than an oxygen concentrator, powered to detect a reduction in admissions to hospital, and (2) a study of bed-bound patients with heart failure who are in the last few weeks of life, powered to detect changes in symptom severity.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN60260702.FundingThis project was funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme and will be published in full inHealth Technology Assessment; Vol. 19, No. 75.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) can be treated using a maze procedure during planned cardiac surgery, but the effect on clinical patient outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness compared with surgery alone, are uncertain.ObjectivesTo determine whether or not the maze procedure is safe, improves clinical and patient outcomes and is cost-effective for the NHS in patients with AF.DesignMulticentre, Phase III, pragmatic, double-blind, parallel-arm randomised controlled trial. Patients were randomised on a 1 : 1 basis using random permuted blocks, stratified for surgeon and planned procedure.SettingEleven acute NHS specialist cardiac surgical centres.ParticipantsPatients aged ≥ 18 years, scheduled for elective or in-house urgent cardiac surgery, with a documented history (> 3 months) of AF.InterventionsRoutine cardiac surgery with or without an adjunct maze procedure administered by an AF ablation device.Main outcome measuresThe primary outcomes were return to sinus rhythm (SR) at 12 months and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over 2 years after randomisation. Secondary outcomes included return to SR at 2 years, overall and stroke-free survival, drug use, quality of life (QoL), cost-effectiveness and safety.ResultsBetween 25 February 2009 and 6 March 2014, 352 patients were randomised to the control (n = 176) or experimental (n = 176) arms. The odds ratio (OR) for return to SR at 12 months was 2.06 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20 to 3.54;p = 0.0091]. The mean difference (95% CI) in QALYs at 2 years between the two trial arms (maze/control) was –0.025 (95% CI 0.129 to 0.078;p = 0.6319). The OR for SR at 2 years was 3.24 (95% CI 1.76 to 5.96). The number of patients requiring anticoagulant drug use was significantly lower in the maze arm from 6 months after the procedure. There were no significant differences between the two arms in operative or overall survival, stroke-free survival, need for cardioversion or permanent pacemaker implants, New York Heart Association Functional Classification (for heart failure), EuroQol-5 Dimensions, three-level version score and Short Form questionnaire-36 items score at any time point. Sixty per cent of patients in each trial arm had a serious adverse event (p = 1.000); most events were mild, but 71 patients (42.5%) in the maze arm and 84 patients (45.5%) in the control arm had moderately severe events; 31 patients (18.6%) in the maze arm and 38 patients (20.5%) in the control arm had severe events. The mean additional cost of the maze procedure was £3533 (95% CI £1321 to £5746); the mean difference in QALYs was –0.022 (95% CI –0.1231 to 0.0791). The maze procedure was not cost-effective at £30,000 per QALY over 2 years in any analysis. In a small substudy, the active left atrial ejection fraction was smaller than that of the control patients (mean difference of –8.03, 95% CI –12.43 to –3.62), but within the predefined clinically equivalent range.LimitationsLow recruitment, early release of trial summaries and intermittent resource-use collection may have introduced bias and imprecise estimates.ConclusionsAblation can be practised safely in routine NHS cardiac surgical settings and increases return to SR rates, but not survival or QoL up to 2 years after surgery. Lower anticoagulant drug use and recovery of left atrial function support anticoagulant drug withdrawal provided that good atrial function is confirmed.Further workContinued follow-up and long-term clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized through symmetric polyarthritis leading to joint destruction over time in many patients. Radiographic damage is an important outcome in RA clinical trials, most commonly assessed by conventional radiographs and quantified/reported by the modified total Sharp van der Heijde Score (mTSS). The mTSS is assessing erosive (ERO) changes as well as joint space narrowing (JSN; reflecting cartilage wasting) in the small joints of the hands and feet. While erosions are the hallmarks of RA, loss of cartilage has been reported to be highly relevant for functional limitations in RA. The sequence of occurrence of these events is not completely understood.Objectives:To investigate the time to radiographic progression and assess potential differences between time-to-JSN progression and time-to-ERO progression.Methods:Radiographs of RA patients from a large prospective clinical routine cohort were scored using the mTSS by one experienced reader (G.S.) unaware of the aim of this project. Time-to-JSN and time-to-ERO was estimated using survival analyses utilizing the Kaplan-Meier estimator. In additional analyses, patients were stratified based on JSN and/or ERO damage at baseline. Further, potential predictors (demographics, csDMARD/bDMARD treatment/combination therapy) of time-to-ERO and time-to-JSN were evaluated using Cox-regression techniques. All statistical analyses were conducted using SAS v9.4 (Cary, New York, USA).Results:We assessed 798 patients longitudinally for radiographic progression. JSN occurred significantly earlier than erosions (p<0.001, Figure 1). After stratification for baseline damage (Figure 2), these differences remained significant with a shorter time-to-JSN in patients without any baseline ERO or JSN (n=44, p=0.008), patients with JSN but no ERO at baseline (n=200, p<0.001), and patients with baseline ERO and JSN (n=536, p<0.001). Only in the small group of patients with isolated erosions (without JSN) at baseline there was no difference in time-to-progression of ERO vs. JSN (n=18, p=0.241). Overall, shorter time to progression of ERO was significantly predicted by positivity for rheumatoid factor or anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (CCP; p<0.003), as well as by erosions at baseline (p<0.001) in Cox regression. In contrast, seropositivity for neither RF nor CCP was associated with shorter time to JSN progression (p=0.226); however, baseline concomitant JSN and ERO damage did show to be a significant predictor (p<0.001).Figure 1.Time to joint space narrowing and time to erosive damage (n=798).Figure 2.Time to JSN/ERO stratified by presence or absence of ERO/JSN at baseline.Conclusion:We identified a significantly shorter time to progression of JSN compared to ERO in this longitudinal cohort of RA patients. JSN remains an important radiographic outcome, as it is strongly associated with impairment of physical function. This calls for a stronger focus on cartilage damage in RA, and a stronger consideration of JSN in routine evaluation of RA radiographs in clinical practice.Disclosure of Interests:Andreas Kerschbaumer Paid instructor for: Celgene, Speakers bureau: Andreas Kerschbaumer has received lecture fees from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Gilead, Merck Sharp and Dohme and Pfizer., Farideh Alasti: None declared, Gabriela Supp: None declared, Josef S.

Background:Role of B- and T- lymphocytes is well established in pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Self-containing activation of B-cells in ectopic germinative centers is followed by auto-activation of T-lymphocytes while T-cells themselves are antigen-presenting cells for B-lymphocytes [1-2]. As these processes continue with the duration of RA, different subsets of B- and T-cell might be prevalent at different stages of RA.Objectives:Evaluate differences in dynamics of B- and T- cell subsets in early and progressed RA.Methods:53 patients with diagnosed RA(ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria) were included in research in October 2019 - May 2020. Age median 54,2 [47; 62] yrs. 2 groups were formed: 1st (n = 27 pts., 25 female and 2 male) with early arthritis, median duration of RA 6 [5; 12] months prior to therapy, mediane DAS28-CRP - 5,8 [5,15-6,2]; and 2nd group (n=26 pts., 22 female and 4 male) - patients with progressed RA, duration of RA 84 [24; 121] months, on DMARDs (methotrexate 20 [15; 20] mg/week or leflunomide 20 mg/day), mediane DAS28-CRP - 6,31 [5,64-6,88]. Control group included 29 individuals (23 female and 6 male), age median 58,5 [53; 62] yrs. Blood of all patients underwent standart flow cytometry with T- and B-cell immunotyping.Results:B and C-cells subsets were studied.

No significant difference between T-cell subsets was found. In comparison with healthy individuals, pts. with early RA had increased levels of switched B-memory cells, transitioning B-cells and plasmoblasts, the opposite was observed in progressed RA pts with addition of decrease in B-memory cells.Conclusion:As disease activity was high in both groups, therefore therapy was ineffective, and results could be interpreted as natural progression of RA, resulting mainly in dynamics of switched B-memory cells, transitioning B-cells and plasmoblasts. These subsets might be indicating disease development patterns but further research is required.References:[1]Weyand, C. M., &Goronzy, J. J. Ectopic germinal center formation in rheumatoid synovitis.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a procedure rarely performed in patients under 21 years old. However, the number of patients <21 undergoing TKA in the United States (US) is unknown. In one of the largest US studies of an institutional arthroplasty registry, only 19 TKAs were performed in patients <21 out of ~30,000 primary TKAs over 34 years1. While a few national or multi-national studies have been performed outside the US, these studies have small cohorts (~100), making it difficult to determine the indications for TKA in this age group.ObjectivesWe identified the number of patients <21 years of age who underwent TKA in a US nationwide dataset. Additionally, we determined the epidemiological characteristics of patients undergoing TKA, including their age, sex, race, indications for surgery, and in-hospital mortality.MethodsWe analyzed the Kids’ Inpatient Database, which is a national weighted sample of all inpatient hospital admissions in the US in patients <21 years old from ~4,200 hospitals in 46 states. We included all admissions from 2000-2016 with a primary procedural code of TKA determined by ICD-9 and 10 codes. Descriptive statistics such as means and percentages, along with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using appropriate sample weights.ResultsThe total number of TKAs performed in patients <21 years old from 2000 to 2016 was 1,331 (Table 1). The majority of TKAs performed (n=936; 70.3%) were for treatment of an oncologic disease. The most common diagnosis was malignant tumor (68.7%), followed by osteoarthritis (7.3%) and inflammatory arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (7.0%) (Figure 1). Osteonecrosis accounted for 3.9% of cases, while mechanical complications accounted for 3.3%. Fewer than 2% of cases had an indication of either benign or uncertain tumor, infection, or trauma. The mean age was 14.8 years, and 48.4% of the cohort was female. A higher proportion of the non-tumor cohort was female (57.1%) than the tumor cohort (44.7%). 57.1% of patients in the overall cohort were White, and this proportion was smaller in the tumor group (53.8%) than the non-tumor group (64.9%). No patients died during the inpatient event. 87.8% of TKAs were performed in urban teaching hospitals.Table 1.Characteristics of patients <21 undergoing TKA by diagnosis typeVariableOverallN = 1331Non-tumorN = 395TumorN = 936Age, mean (95% CI)14.8 (14.4, 15.2)15.9 (14.7, 17.1)14.3 (14.1, 14.6)Sex: Female, % (95% CI)48.4 (44.9, 51.9)57.1 (49.1, 64.8)44.7 (41.1, 48.3)Race, % (95% CI) White57.1 (52.3, 61.8)64.9 (55.5, 73.3)53.8 (48.4, 59.2) Black13.1 (10.1, 16.9)16.9 (10.1, 27.2)11.5 (8.7, 14.9) Hispanic19.7 (16.6, 23.3)14.3 (9.9, 20.2)22.0 (18.1, 26.6) Asian or Pacific Islander3.4 (2.1, 5.4)**4.6 (2.9, 7.4) Native American0.9 (0.4, 1.9)**** Other5.8 (4.1, 8.1)2.9 (1.3, 6.4)7.0 (4.8, 10.0)Payor, % (95% CI) Medicare1.4 (0.7, 2.9)4.7 (2.2, 9.7)— Medicaid31.1 (27.5, 35.0)28.0 (21.0, 36.3)32.4 (28.3, 36.7) Private57.8 (53.7, 61.7)60.2 (52.1, 67.8)56.7 (52.2, 61.1) Self-pay3.3 (2.3, 4.9)**4.2 (2.7, 6.2) Other6.1 (4.4, 8.3)5.1 (3.0, 8.6)6.6 (4.5, 9.4)Admission type: elective, % (95% CI)85.9 (81.1, 89.6)81.6 (72.6, 88.2)87.7 (82.2, 91.6)N represents weighted estimateCI = Confidence Interval** Per HCUP guidelines, cell sizes ≤10 have been omitted to protect patient confidentialityFigure 1.Most common primary diagnoses for TKA in patients <21 years oldThe most common primary diagnosis of 1,331 patients <21 undergoing TKA.

Also, even with the advent of better treatment options for JIA and inflammatory arthritis, TKA is still performed frequently in this population indicating that better clinical management is needed.References[1]Martin JR et al.

Full textAbstract:
A microgravity investigation on bedrock topography was conducted at Maluri park reference level in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The study aim to mapping the near-surface structure and soil and land cover distribution for geography and geophysics surveys. Two types of cross-section modeling of the residual anomaly generated the MaluriBouguer Anomaly model for site-1 and site-2 at Maluri Park. The 2D microgravity models produced the contour map, displaying the characterization due to density contrast in rock types while mapping the subsurface geological structure at different depths. Moreover, a synthetic model was initiated with the assumption of lateral distance on the left and right sides taken at 50 m and a depth of 60 m. The results of modeling confirmed that the soil and rock type composition on both models site tests are topsoil (1.1 to 1.92 g/cm3), soil (1.8 g/cm3), clay (1.63 g/cm3), gravel (1.7 g/cm3), sand (2.0 g/cm3), shale (2.4 g/cm3), sandstone (2.76 g/cm3), and limestone (2.9 g/cm3). The 2D gravity modeling using two model site tests obtained a correspondence with the observed microgravity data.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Radiographs of the sacroiliac joints are commonly used as the first imaging method for the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), but the reliability of sacroiliitis detection is usually low. Recently we developed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that can detect radiographic sacroiliitis with expert-like accuracy in patients with axSpA, i.e., classification as radiographic or non-radiographic [1]. There is frequent criticism that many artificial intelligence algorithms for diagnostic analysis of medical images lack robust validation in real-world clinical applications.Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of our deep CNN in detecting definite radiographic sacroiliitis in the diagnostic setting.Methods:In this study, we included a total of 361 patients with chronic back pain who presented to a rheumatologist in a specialized SpA center with a suspicion of axSpA within the OptiRef project [2]. All patients received a structured rheumatologic diagnostic work-up that resulted in the final diagnosis of axial SpA/no axial SpA. Radiographs of sacroiliac joints were evaluated by a rheumatologist and radiologist according to the modified New York criteria; the consensus judgement of the presence of definite radiographic sacroiliitis (>=grade 2 bilaterally or >=grade 3 unilaterally) was used as a reference. The predictions of the deep CNN’s inference (with a balanced cutoff of 0.724 for the predictions of the model that was derived from the training and validation steps [1]) on all available pelvic radiographs was compared to this reference judgement.Results:Pelvic radiographs of 340 patients (110 with axSpA including 61 patient with radiographic and 49 with non-radiographic axSpA, and 230 without SpA) were available for the CNN evaluation. The deep CNN achieved a sensitivity of 79% for the diagnosis of radiographic axSpA. The specificity of radiographic sacroiliitis detection was 94% (Table 1). The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for the prediction of the presence of definite radiographic sacroiliitis was 88%. Figure 1 shows an exemplary class activation map of our CNN.Table 1.Convolutional neural network predictions of the presence of radiographic sacroiliitis in patients with suspected axSpA according to the final diagnosis by rheumatologist in OptiRef (N=340).Clinical diagnosisCNN’s prediction on the presence of definite radiographic sacroiliitisPresentNot presentRadiographic axial SpA48/61 (78.7%)13/61 (21.3%)Non-radiographic axial SpA4/49 (8.2%)45/49 (91.8%)No SpA (other diagnosis)14/230 (6.1%)216/230 (93.9%)Conclusion:The artificial neural network showed good generalizability and a high specificity with acceptable sensitivity in the detection of radiographic sacroiliitis when applied in the diagnostic setting of patients with chronic back pain and suspicion of axSpA. This algorithm can therefore be used to aid the detection of radiographic sacroiliitis as a part of the diagnostic approach.References:[1]Bressem KK, et al. medRxiv. 2020:2020.05.19.20105304.[2]Proft F, et al.

¿Cuáles son las condiciones que activan la argumentación del profesor de Matemáticas durante la discusión de tareas en clase? En este artículo se presentan posibles respuestas a esta pregunta, en el marco de un estudio que pretende comprender la argumentación del profesor de Matemáticas en un ambiente habitual de clase. Para ello se presenta una fundamentación teórica sobre la argumentación en la clase de Matemáticas. Los datos forman parte de un estudio más amplio, los cuales se tomaron durante lecciones de clase de décimo grado (estudiantes de 15 a 16 años), mientras la profesora y sus estudiantes discutían tareas sobre trigonometría. Se discuten fragmentos de episodios de clase, donde se describen indicadores de las condiciones que podrían activar la argumentación del profesor. Referencias Boero, P. (2011).

Full textAbstract:
Character education in early childhood is not new, and character education is also not just a transfer of knowledge, but something that needs to be built early on through various stimula- tions. This study aims to develop the character of early childhood through audio-visual media with traditional Javanese songs. Using educational design-based research to develop audio-visual media from traditional songs, this media was tested in the field with an experimental design with a control group. Respondents involved 71 kindergarten students from one experimental class in one control class. The data revealed that character education in children shows the average value of the experi- mental class is higher than the control group, this means character education in children can be built through traditional songs. Further research can be done to improve the character of early childhood through a variety of media that interests children.
