The paper compares the role play of preschool children from 3 to 7 years with two different types of play material: play clothes and open-ended materials. The role is understood as a three-part process, including renaming, changing the appearance and playing actions. It is shown that role substitution depends on the object environment: children of the same age play differently in two different object environments. Children 3-5 years demonstrate more integral play in open-ended environment. They call themselves a role-name and their actions and changing the appearance often support it. In comparison children of this age often rename themselves, but rarely realize a new name in play actions in environment with play clothes. Role substitution of children of 6 years are different: children do not play in a open-ended environment, but they realize plots with varying degrees of complexity in play clothes' environment. It could be explained by the structured environment is much safer for this age group. It concluded that open-ended environment is more suitable for play needs of preschool children, because role substitution is accompanied by research, testing activity, which fill the role with emotionally content.

Objective: To study the various beliefs and problems regarding menstruation among adolescent girls living in rural border areas. Design- Prospective study. Setting- Pediatric outpatient clinic. Materials and methods- About 200 adolescent girls (11-19 years) living in rural border areas were enrolled for the study. These girls were asked about menarche, duration of the cycle, amount of blood loss and the various menstrual problems. They were also asked about the various beliefs and myths regarding menstruation. The girls having any illness affecting the menstrual cycle or those suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders were excluded from this study. Results- About 51% of the study population was in the age group 17-18 years. About 43.5% of girls attained menarche at the age of 10-12 years. About 51% of girls did not know about menstruation before menarche. Abdominal pain was the most common side effect seen in 41% of girls during menstruation. About 61% of girls considered themselves unclean during menstruation.  Twenty percent avoided schools, 20% avoided kitchen, 12% avoided temples while 10% stayed away from friends/ relatives. Only 33% of girls knew that menstruation stops temporarily after becoming pregnant. Twenty-two percent girls were using sanitary napkins while the rest used different types of clothes during the menstrual cycle. Conclusion- There is a dire need to educate girls regarding menstruation before menarche in the rural border areas. Every mother should discuss in a friendly way regarding various aspects of menstruation.

Negative Implication

In a study of forty-three preschool children, ratings of four types of the children's imaginativeness were correlated with observational, behavioral, and interview measures. Research questions were: 1) Do correlates of imaginativeness found in observational studies replicate if trait rather than state measures are examined? 2) Do different types of imaginativeness have different correlates? and 3) What characteristics distinguish children at the maladaptive extremes of imaginativeness from those at more moderate levels? The conceptual and empirical utility of considering imaginativeness to have two dimensions, Expressive and Constructive, was demonstrated. While optimal levels of Constructive Imaginativeness correlated significantly with other indices of healthy child development, the correlations were fewer and tended to be weaker for Expressive Imaginativeness. The negative implication of extremes was documented.

Main Definition

The article gives an analysis of problems of formation of skills in children of the senior preschool age to build stories of different types. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of psycho-pedagogical and special literature, based on the main definition of «building a story», a subordinate term is formulated in relation to the topic of the study: «building stories of different types» The psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of sustainable skills of creation and expedient use of stories of different types in children of the senior preschool age are revealed and substantiated. The components, criteria, indicators and levels of formation of abilities to build a different type of narration in children of the sixth year of life are determined. The stages of formation of persistent skills for building different types of stories by senior preschoolers are singled out. The lack of effective pedagogical technologies in relation to the formation of skills in the children of the senior preschool age to build and expedient use of narration of comprehensive typing significantly reduces the effective preparation of children to school. The proposed pedagogical and motivational technology for the formation of children of the sixth year of a sustainable ability to create stories of various types provides the small person an effective communicative tool, which will definitely promote its self-realization both in school environment and in career, society, own life. The prospects for further research are outlined, such independent types of stories are presented as a story - an instruction and a story - a presentation.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the median survival time of fixed and removable space maintainers related to age groups, gender, and their distribution in upper and lower dental arches. The adherence of patients to a periodic recall program and the success rate of different types of space maintainers related to different arches were also evaluated. This study included 663 patients aged between 4-15 years old that were treated between the years of 1997 and 2002. The patients were categorized into four main groups: lost to follow-up, failed, successful, and censored at the end of study. Three hundred forty-five space maintainers were considered lost to follow-up, 83 were considered failed, 206 successful, and 20 censored-at-end. The overall median survival time of the appliances was 6.51 months. Median survival time was 7.25 months in the 4-6 age group, 6.35 months in the 7-12 age group, and 7.0 months in the 13+ age groups. Median survival time was 5.76 months in girls and 7.11 months in boys. Median survival time of space maintainers was 7.17 months for maxilla and 6.69 months in the mandible. Median survival time was 5.25 months for space maintainers fabricated in both arches. Citation Tulunoglu Ö, Ulusu T, Genç Y.

В статье рассматривается актуальная проблема психологического сопровождения дошкольников с расстройствами аутистического спектра (РАС), в частности психокоррекция их игровой деятельности. Проведенное авторами психологическое исследование позволило констатировать, что основными особенностями игры дошкольников с РАС являются преобладание в ней предметно-манипулятивной деятельности, выраженный сенсорный раздражитель как основной мотив для игры; трудности в использовании предметов-заместителей, свойств игрушек, использование их не по назначению, стереотипность игровых действий. Сделанные выводы позволили разработать коррекционно-развивающую программу, направленную на развитие процессуальной игры дошкольников с РАС с целью формирования предпосылок развития у них навыков сюжетно-ролевой игры и оптимизации их общего психического развития. В статье раскрыты принципы такой коррекционно-развивающей работы; подробно описана структура коррекционно-развивающей программы, направленной на формирование процессуальной игры дошкольников с РАС, которая является базовой для развития игровой деятельности более высокого уровня, методика ее проведения и сформулированы психологические рекомендации по организации и содержанию коррекции игровой деятельности детей с РАС. После реализации программы и формирования у рассматриваемой категории детей навыков процессуальной игры возможен переход к разработке и реализации коррекционно-развивающих программ, направленных на формирование навыков игры с элементами сюжета, а в последующем — сюжетно-ролевой игры, что определяет перспективы дальнейшей работы и научных исследований. The article treats psychological support of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder and focuses on psycho-corrective play activities. The psychological research enables the authors to state that preschool children with autism spectrum disorder prefer play activities which allow manipulation of objects, demonstrate stereotypical behaviors, experience difficulties with substituting play objects, engage in playing activities when experiencing sensory stimulation. The outcomes of the research enable the authors to develop a correctional program aimed at the development of play activities in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder in order to prepare them for role-play activities and enhance their psychological development. The article describes the principles and the structure of correctional activities aimed at the development of play activities in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder in order to prepare them for more complicated role-play activities. The article provides a structure program for teaching children with autism spectrum disorder to play and underlines the correctional potential of play activities. When the program is implemented and autistic preschoolers know how to play, they can be taught to role-play, which can be treated as an issue requiring further research.

I think that both this letter and the preceding one emphasize some of the dilemmas that the Committee on Nutrition went through in trying to come to agreement on the recommendations of the onset of supplemental foods. First, I would not quarrel with the caloric intake, nor the weight of the 2-month-old infant. The caloric intake may be considered on the upper limits for this age group. Second, I certainly do agree that most children do well with many different types of varieties of feeding, so far as we can tell.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most commonly encountered gynecological problem and almost 33 % of women in gynecological outpatient department presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. Dilatation and curettage (D and C) have been the main diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding patients for decades. The objective of the present study was to analyze the different types of endometrial histopathology of patients presented with the abnormal uterine bleeding and its correlation with the different types of abnormal uterine bleedingMethods: This is a retrospective study, conducted in a medical college in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology over a period of one year from June ’17 to June ’18. All cases of AUB more than 35 years of the age group who underwent D and C procedure were included in this study. Total 100 patients were analyzed.Results: Total 100 patients were analyzed. Age group ranges from 35-58 years and most common age group presenting with AUB was 35-39 years. The most common presenting complaint was menorrhagia 54% (54/100). Histopathology of endometrium showed non-organic causes in 80% (80/100) of AUB patients and the remaining 20% (20/100) had organic causes. Most common endometrial histopathology among non-organic causes was proliferative endometrium 43.75% (35/80) and the most common organic cause was endometrial polyp 40% (8/20). Endometrial hyperplasia was found in 30% (6/20) and endometrial carcinoma was found in 20% (4/20) of cases among organic causes.Conclusions: D and C is the useful and the cost-effective diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of AUB. Histopathological evaluation of endometrial samples is especially indicated in AUB patients to rule out carcinoma and preneoplastic conditions as histopathology is 100% diagnostic in cases of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.

Treatment Control Group

Within Gibson's framework of teaching children to discriminate the distinctive features of letters, 28 preschool children were trained in letter discrimination using three different types of matching-to-sample alternatives: (1) high-confusion alternatives; (2) low-confusion alternatives; or (3) a sequence of low-, middle-, and high-confusion alternatives. On posttest 1, given after a criterion of two consecutive errorless training days, only the high-confusion and sequence groups significantly improved over their pretest scores as compared with the no-treatment control group. On posttest 2, however, given after a standard number of 20 training days, the performance of all three training groups, including low-confusion, was superior to the control group; no differences were found among the three training groups. The implications of these and other findings for letter discrimination training were discussed.

Flood risk analysis provides a rational for the appraisal of policy options for the decision makers. In this paper, by employing referendum method and face to face questionnaire surveys for 210 households in West Rapti River in Nepal, the willingness to pays (WTPs) to avoid four climate change-induced flood scenarios were assessed. Differences on WTPs among age, sex and education groups were analysed, and correlation between WTPs and different types of incomes and flood related damage costs were tested. The WTP was lowest for age group below 35 and it was highest for the age group 35–44. Females suffered more from flood than males and hence their average annual WTP was higher than male's average. Similarly, the average WTP was higher for literate then illiterate people in all flood scenarios. The average annual WTPs were statistically significantly (p < 0.05) positively correlated with annual total income, farm income, livestock income and flood-related damage costs. The level of WTPs estimated in this study would be helpful for formulating flood-related policy and plan, prioritising investment and implementation of the programmes.
