Play Experience

The paper analyzes the constructs of ‘play experience’ and ‘play experiencing ability’ from the perspective of cultural-historical psychology. The paper stresses the importance of education, play, art, wealth and cultural diversity in the formation of healthy and independent personality. The role of play experience as a healthful factor that allows an individual to acquire resistance to psychosomatic disorders is supported both theoretically and empirically. It is argued that the individual capable of play experience can transform the meaning of a situation (within his/her play experience) and therefore eliminate its psychotraumatic effect which contributes to the development of psychosomatic disorders. The paper provides outcomes of an empirical research with 73 participants (40 female, 33 male; aged 18—45, with the average age of 25 years). The statistical analysis revealed a significant inverse correlation between the level of the individual’s play experiencing ability and the level of his/her somatization (rs = -0,435; p ≤ 0,01), which confirms the research hypothesis.

Abstract The presence of the calanoid copepod Boeckella gracilis (Daday, 1902) in Chilean seasonal pools has been only poorly studied as yet. The aim of the present study thus is to investigate the role of conductivity and temperature on the relative and absolute abundance of B. gracilis in seasonal coastal pools in the Araucania region (38°S, Chile). The results of correlation analysis revealed the presence of a significant inverse correlation between conductivity and relative abundance, whereas no significant correlations were found between conductivity and absolute abundance, between temperature and absolute abundance, and between temperature and relative abundance. These results agree partially with similar observations for mountain pools in the same region, but they would not agree with observations for calanoids of saline and subsaline inland waters in the northern and southern extremes of Chile. Considering this scenario, the species would show different populational responses to environmental stress in different situations, which phenomenon deserves to be studied more extensively and in more detail.

The objectives of this work are to present a workflow model; three tests and two questionnaires for diagnosis; statistical methodologies for the analysis of the data obtained, as well as the preliminary results of the model and the questionnaires. The methodology consists of the coordination between teachers in the role of tutor and the application to students under their responsibility to subsequently perform a statistical analysis of the data and based on this, develop an intervention work plan at the individual and collective level. The fundamental contribution of this work is to objectively seek to support students in their academic development. Among the responsibilities and activities that a teacher has in universities is to be a tutor of a group of the academic program to which he belongs. Students under responsibility have a series of situations that influence or assume that they influence their academic performance. One as a tutor can ask if the learning units of the subjects, they take support this performance, if there are internal and external factors, as well as risk situations that affect it. This work is aimed at supporting teachers in their tutoring activity and in the transverse subjects of the academic program, as well as students.

Background: MRI has the unique ability to show both structure and function objectively without any radiation exposure to the patient. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a quantitative parameter that combines the effects of capillary perfusion and water diffusion. Renal parameters have shown inverse relationship with the ADC values in these studies. So, ADC values have a potential to serve as a marker of renal function. The aim of the present endeavor was to study the role of DW MRI in characterization of renal function and to find out the clinical use of DW MRI in renal diseases; and establish the relationship between renal function assessed by eGFR and that by DW MRI calculated in terms of ADC values in various renal diseasesMethods: Total 30 patients were included in the study. The study was carried out in department of radiodiagnosis at Dr. RPMGC Kangra. 1.5 Tesla MRI machine was used. The ADC value was calculated at upper, mid and lower pole of each kidney and the mean was taken. Then the mean of right and left kidneys was taken to calculate the mean ADC of the patient.Results: Serum creatinine in present study ranged from 0.67 to 13.9mg/dl, with mean value of 7.28mg/d. Serum urea ranged from 22 to 293mg/dl with the mean of 119.6mg/dl. There was significant inverse correlation occurred between ADC values and serum urea (r=-0.43, p=0.02). There was significant inverse correlation between ADC values and serum creatinine (p=0.01) and a positive correlation between eGFR and ADC values (r=0.14, p=0.47).Conclusions: ADC values consistently decreased with increasing stage of renal failure, so these can be used as an indirect maker of renal function. Authors conclude that lower would be the ADC value more advanced would be the stage of renal failure. DW MRI can also be detect early stages of renal failure even when the serum maker are within normal range.

Legal Understanding

The purpose of the study is to find out the place of the philosophy of law as scientific knowledge of legal reality in the system of formation of consciousness and legal consciousness of society. The relevance of the work lies in the need to explore the importance of the philosophy of law as a reflection of the legal reality of society in its theoretical aspect, the place and significance of the philosophy of law in creating the socio-cultural discourse of our time; it is necessary to identify how this knowledge can and should respond to the challenges of our time. The article considers the need to study the importance of the philosophy of law in the process of the formation of consciousness and legal consciousness of the individual and to understand how the philosophy of law, fulfilling its direct purpose of studying the ontology of law, can participate in overcoming the permanently existing crises in society. The results of the analysis made it possible to find out that the philosophy of law, fulfilling its many functions, becomes the fundamental basis for the formation of consciousness and legal awareness of society. It was found that such functions of legal philosophy as educational and value-oriental build a system of individual and collective priorities of values and logically substantiate their importance and universality for the existence of man and society. It is analyzed that the philosophy of law helps to establish a connection between one’s own individual experience of legal understanding and acquired scientific knowledge. It is proved that a theoretical study of legal reality models by the philosophy of law as a branch of scientific knowledge about the essence of law occupies a significant place in the system of studying social values. The conclusions of the work prove that, plunging into the legal system, the philosophy of law contributes to the development of the individual ability of a person to critical thinking and subjective assessment of acquired knowledge. The significance of philosophical and legal consciousness as one of the factors for overcoming permanently existing crises in society is established. The use of the philosophy of law as a methodology for the assimilation of legal reality contributes to the formation and constant reproduction of the ability to process information on the principles of justice, equality and respect for cultural diversity.

In order to investigate the contribution of the physical environment to variation in multicellular development ofMyxococcus xanthus, phenotypes developed by different genotypes in a gradient of substrate stiffness conditions were quantitatively characterized. Statistical analysis showed that plastic phenotypes result from the genotype, the substrate conditions and the interaction between them. Also, phenotypes were expressed in two distinguishable scales, the individual and the population levels, and the interaction with the environment showed scale and trait specificity. Overall, our results highlight the constructive role of the physical context in the development of microbial multicellularity, with both ecological and evolutionary implications.

Identification Techniques

The interaction between art and science was high during the Renaissance and it declined later to return significantly in the 20th century, mainly with the use of identification techniques, dating of art works and the development of new materials. The relationship between plastic arts and hand surgery is intense and artistic reproductions of hands are frequent in the illustration of scientific texts. With the objective of understanding the role of the hand in plastic arts, reproductions of works of art (sculptures and paintings) representative of several periods or styles in the history of art were analyzed emphasizing the study of the hands. Anatomical details, relationship with other structures of the human body, role in the composition and symbolic aspects of the hands were studied in historical and artistic contexts of art works in the Paleolithic period (pre-history) until the 20th century. The representation of the hands in plastic arts is directly related to the style or period of the work and to the individual ability of interpretation and execution by the artist.

Glycerol Injection

We have examined the role of dietary Na and renal cortical renin concentration (RCRC) on the severity of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in the rat. Na loading (1% NaCl to drink) and Na deprivation (Na-free diet) of 5-6 wk duration decreased and increased RCRC, respectively, with respect to control. As assessed by blood urea nitrogen measured 48 h after glycerol injection, the severity of ARF was inversely related to RCRC. However, this was not a causal relationship. Either 6- or 48-h access to 1% NaCl did not lower RCRC of previously Na-deprived rats, but did decrease the severity of ARF. Conversely, 6- or 48-h access to tap water did not increase RCRC of previously Na-loaded rats, but did increase severity of ARF. A significant inverse correlation was found between severity of ARF and Na excretion prior to glycerol injection, a finding consistent with the hypothesis that solute diuresis has a protective effect.

Summary In patients with different forms of dementia we compared serum and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of α-tocopherol (vitamin-E), the major circulating lipid-soluble antioxidant, and neopterin, a product released from monocytic cells upon stimulation with interferon-γ. A significant inverse correlation was found between the concentrations of both compounds in the cerebrospinal fluid. The data point to a role of oxidative stress to reduce antioxidant levels in elderly demented patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.
