A descriptive study of factors in the lifestyle of fifty couples married an average of 55.5 years and an average age of seventy-nine years provided data for this report. The non-random sample was heterogeneous using traditional socio-economic indicators. Life-Satisfaction (LSI-Z), Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment scores, and perception of health were all high. More than half the sample were now or had been sexually active within the past five years. Independence, commitment, companionship and qualities of caring were significant elements in these long-lasting marriages.

A comparison of the ranges of levator veli palatini EMG activity for speech versus a nonspeech task for subjects with cleft palate was the focus of this study. EMG values are also compared with subjects without cleft palate obtained in a previous study. Hooked-wire electrodes were inserted into the levator muscle of five adult subjects with cleft palate exhibiting mild hypernasality. Intraoral air pressure was measured concurrently. A blowing task was used to determine the subject's operating range for the levator muscle. Both the nonspeech and speech tasks were designed to sample the widest possible ranges of levator EMG activity. It was found that the subjects with cleft palate used a relatively high activation level for the levator muscle during speech, in relation to their total activation range, compared with the subjects without cleft palate. Implications are discussed In relation to possible anatomic and physiologic differences for cleft palate subjects compared to normal.

Purpose The authors compared articulatory contact pressure (ACP), oral air pressure (Po), and speech acoustics for conversational versus clear speech. They also assessed the relationship of these measures to listener perception. Method Twelve adults with normal speech produced monosyllables in a phrase using conversational and clear speech. Target phonemes were /t, d, s, z, l, n/. ACP was measured at a point of articulatory contact; Po was sensed by a catheter open in the posterior oral cavity. Results ACP was increased to a greater extent in clear speech for /t, d, z/. Po was increased to a greater extent for /t, d/. Acoustic changes also occurred in terms of segment durations, speaking rate, and CV dB ratio. Regression analysis indicated that segment duration was the strongest predictor of listener ratings of speech clarity, followed by an index of articulatory effort and speaking rate. Conclusion Articulatory effort, as indexed by ACP, Po, and CV dB ratio, was increased to varying degrees depending on the consonant. Greatest changes occurred for /t, d/. Durational measures at both the segment and the phrase level were also important for predicting listener ratings of speech clarity.

Abstract Increasing parental attention to their children because they both work, resulting in limited interaction between parents and children. The development of personality become disturbed, personal not independent and asocial. The study aimed to determine the relationship of parenting parents to work on personality development in pre-school age children (aged 3-5 years) in Prabumulih. An analytical descriptive study involving 60 respondents of mothers who have pre-school children (aged 3-5 years). Research instruments are questionnaires, check list and approval sheet of willingness to be the respondent of the research. Based on the results of statistical tests with fisher exact obtained p value of 0.00 (<0.05), so it was concluded there was a significant relationship between parenting parents with the development of pre-school child behavior. In Pre-School Age Children should begin to instill the attitudes and norms of life that support the formation of his personality in the future. The condition of both parents who work outside the home cause the parenting pattern is also limited and even disconnected, for that busy parents working must provide time chatting to stimulate children develop optimally. Parents should seek to establish democratic parenting and do not give excessive love so that children are not spoiled and socially inadequateKeywords : Parenting Patterns, Working Parents, Child Personality Abstrak Semakin  berkurangnya perhatian orang tua terhadap anaknya karena keduanya sama-sama bekerja, mengakibatkan terbatasnya interaksi orang tua dengan anak. Perkembangan keperibadian anak menjadi menjadi terganggu, menjadi pribadi tidak mandiri dan asosial. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui hubungan pola asuh orang tua bekerja terhadap perkembangan kepribadian pada Anak Usia Pra sekolah (umur 3 – 5 tahun). Merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik melibatkan 60 responden ibu yang mempunyai anak pra sekolah (umur 3-5 tahun) di Kota Prabumulih. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner, cek list dan lembar persetujuan kesediaan menjadi responden penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil uji statistik dengan fisher exact diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0.00 (< 0.05), sehingga disimpulkan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pola asuh orang tua dengan perkembangan perilaku anak pra sekolah. Pada Anak Usia Pra sekolah harus mulai ditanamkan sikap dan norma kehidupan yang menunjang pembentukan kepribadiannya pada masa mendatang. Kedua orang tua yang bekerja diluar rumah menyebabkan pola pengasuhan juga terbatas bahkan terputus,  untuk itu orang tua yang sibuk bekerja harus menyediakan waktu bercengkrama untuk menstimulasi anak berkembang secara optimal. Orang tua harus berupaya  membentuk pola asuh demokratif dan tidak memberikan kasih sayang berlebihan sehingga anak tidak manja dan kurang matang secara sosial.Kata Kunci : Pola Asuh, Orang Tua Bekerja, Kepribadian Anak

The electromyograms (EMG) of shivering human subjects exposed to 0 degrees C air in an environmental chamber were analyzed to detect slow-amplitude modulations (SAMs, less than 1 Hz) in the EMGs of widely separated muscles and to study the relationship of these SAMs to respiration rate and skin temperature. Distinct amplitude modulations were observed in the raw EMGs during shivering. The peaks in EMG activity occurred simultaneously in the majority of the monitored muscles in all subjects. Pearson correlations between the average rectified EMGs of 93% of the muscles were significant (P less than 0.05). Visual analysis of the EMG and respiration signals indicated that the peaks in muscular activity occurred 6–12 times/min, whereas respiration ranged from 10 to 23 cycles/min. For all subjects respiration was at a higher frequency than amplitude modulation in the EMG. Comparison of EMG records with expiratory flow rate traces in shivering subjects indicated no one-to-one correlation between the occurrence of respiration and EMG amplitude modulations. Respiratory flow rate and average rectified EMG showed significant correlation in only 33% of the cases. In addition, skin temperature changes could not be correlated with the SAMS.

miR-17-5p and E2F1 have been described as deregulated in cancer, but they have scarcely been studied in pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs). This study evaluates the relationship of E2F1 and miR-17-5p with the invasiveness and proliferation of PitNETs. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, we evaluated the expression of E2F1, MYC, and miR-17-5p by quantitative real time PCR analysis in 60 PitNETs: 29 gonadotroph (GT), 15 functioning somatotroph (ST), and 16 corticotroph (CT) tumours, of which 8 were silent (sCT). The clinical data were collected from the Spanish Molecular Register of Pituitary Adenomas (REMAH) database. We defined invasiveness according to the Knosp classification and proliferation according to a molecular expression of Ki-67 ≥ 2.59. E2F1 was more expressed in invasive than in non-invasive tumours in the whole series (p = 0.004) and in STs (p = 0.01). In addition, it was overexpressed in the silent subtypes (GTs and sCTs; all macroadenomas) and normoexpressed in the functioning ones (fCTs and STs; some microadenomas). miR-17-5p was more expressed in proliferative than in non-proliferative tumours (p = 0.041) in the whole series but not by subtypes. Conclusions: Our study suggests that in PitNETs, E2F1 could be a good biomarker of invasiveness, and miR-17-5p of proliferation, helping the clinical management of these tumours.

The production of many consonant sounds requires a buildup of air pressure within die oral cavity. This buildup often results from resistance to air flow created in the vocal tract by tongue movements. This study investigated the relationship of tongue pressure to intraoral air pressure. Four male speakers repeated VCV syllables containing /t/, /d/, and /n/ combined with /i/, /α/, and /u/. Each combination was repeated at a constant rate at three intensity levels. Air-pressure variations associated with the consonants were recorded from the oral-pharyngeal region while tongue pressures were recorded from behind the maxillary central incisors and above the left and right maxillary molars. The results show that for stop-consonant production, air pressures and lateral tongue pressures vary in parallel manner, whereas tongue tip pressures appear to act independently of both air and side tongue pressures. Vocal intensity changes are an exception to this in that both intraoral air and tongue pressures increased as intensity increased, the greatest change occurring for tongue tip pressures.
