It is known, that visually challenged child acquire non-verbal means of communication less spontaneously. It is more common for them to use single and definite gestures and frequently provide them with some verbal explanations, incorrect perception of gestures and miming, poorness or lack of movements. Based on A.R.Luria’s idea of the role of the environment in a child’s personality formation, and compensatorydeveloping mechanisms and also on some ideas of modern researchers that nonverbal means of communication are connected with social conditions and usually are formed during the life with the exception of means of affective expressiveness (G.V. Grigirieva, L.I.Plaksina, L.I.Solntseva), we have made a comparative study of using nonverbal means of communication among children with normal eyesight and visuallychallenged children. As research approaches we modify and use such techniques as “The ABC of Mood”by N.L.Belopolskaya, “Silence game” by G.V.Grigorieva, “Understanding of gestures” by N.V.Pilipko and “Understanding of Miming” by Sabin and Hardick modified by G.V. Grigorieva. We have examined 36 children of high preschool age, 18 of them were with normal eyesight and 18 were visually challenged, and all of them were taught how to acquire non-verbal means of communication. We have found out that children from both groups could not differentiate similar facial expressions and gestures, miming usually was described through actions, not through feelings or emotions. The results showed us the absence of defining facial expressions, gestures and miming on the levelы of cognition and behavior between these two groups of children. On the level of emotions, we had had the following differences: the children with normal eyesight rarely explain gestures through actions then visually challenged children and also they rarely connect the emotional statewith the situation, but more often they distinguish miming through explaining some physical characteristics, that may depend on their visual problem. So we can conclude that if we organize the process of education in the right way (the role of the environment) visually challenged pre-school aged children can have the partial ability to compensate their acquirement of non-verbal means of communication. Keywords: non-verbal means of communication, expressions, gestures, miming, pre-school aged children, visually challenged.

In recent years, museums of various kinds have broadened their mission and made systematic efforts to develop a dynamic role in learning by offering a wide range of less formal experiences for individuals with diverse characteristics, including individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH). Despite the worthwhile efforts, in the case of DHH individuals, museums frequently neglect to consider their unique communication, cognitive, cultural, and learning characteristics, thus limiting their access and opportunities for fully experiencing what museums have to offer. This chapter examines the potential for creating accessible museum environments and methods that reflect an understanding of the diverse communication, cognitive, cultural, and learning needs of DHH visitors, all of which enhance their access and participation in the museum activities. The role of the physical features of museum spaces for the access and behavior of DHH visitors is emphasized, together with attention to exhibition methods and the communication and cognitive challenges that need to be considered so DHH visitors can get the maximum benefit. The chapter emphasizes the right of individuals who are DHH to nonformal learning and analyzes how museums could become more accessible to DHH individuals by designing, from the beginning, participatory learning experiences that address their diverse needs.

And Behavior

The components of ecological li teracy comprise knowledge, attitudes, affect, behavior, and environmental activism. The goal of this paper is to establish whether environmental activism can be predicted on the basis of environmental knowledge, proenvironmental attitudes, affect, and behavior. In addition to this, the goal of the research is to examine to what extent individuals of different activism levels differ in terms of knowledge of basic environmental problems, expression of the attitude of ecological apathy, anthropocentrism, belonging to nature and connection with nature, as well as usual practices of pro-environmental behavior. By surveying a sample of adult respondents from Serbia who belong to a group devoted to an environmental problem (N=255), we have discovered that general environmental knowledge alone does not contribute to pro-environmental behaviors or environmental activism. The predictors of activism are pro-environmental attitudes, an affective attitude towards nature, and common pro-environmental behaviors, even though they help distinguish a group of barely active members from two groups of more active members, but they do not help distinguish those who are active in a virtual space from those who participate personally. The groups are further distinguished by other variables, such as the locus of control, values, and the phenomenon of quasi-activism. The established connection between knowledge and emotional affinity towards nature seems to represent a reciprocal relationship, and indicates that the right way to learn is to acquire knowledge, but while developing a love for nature.

AbstractThe role of environmental risk and protective factors (attachment, verbal intelligence) in school-aged children's adaptation was examined. Subjects were 45 7-year-old children from low socioeconomic status environments. Security of attachment to mother was assessed by reunion behavior in the laboratory following an hour-long separation. Mothers and teachers reported on behavior problems using the Child Behavior Checklist. Results revealed a higher proportion of insecure attachments and behavior problems than in low-risk populations. Greater risk and less security were associated with poorer behavioral adaptation. Multiple regressions tested a model of protective processes; results demonstrated main effects of attachment security, even after controlling for extent of environmental risk.

Abstract: The Role of Parents in the Maintenance of Dental and Mouth Health. Dental health education must be introduced as early as possible to children so they can know how to maintain oral and dental health properly. The active role of parents in the development of children is very necessary when they are still under preschool age. The active role of parents in question is to guide, provide understanding, remind, and provide facilities to children. Preschoolers cannot maintain their health properly and effectively, so parents must keep an eye on this procedure continuously. The purpose of this study was to determine the general description of the role of parents of Rosa Mystica Liliba Kupang kindergartens in maintaining oral health. This type of research is a descriptive study describing the role of parents of Rosa Mystica Liliba Kupang kindergartens in maintaining oral health regarding the regulation of children's eating diets, how to brush their teeth properly, and control dental health. This research method is descriptive research. The results of this study indicate the role of parents in regulating dietary foods including moderate criteria, how to brush teeth properly including good criteria and control of oral health including good criteria. Overall, the role of parents of kindergarten children Rosa Mystica Liliba in maintaining oral health has good criteria. The conclusion of this study is the role of parents of Rosa Mystica Liliba Kindergarten children in maintaining oral health is good but the right action has not been implemented so that the average dental caries of children is still high namely 4 carious teeth.

Abstract. Converging neuroimaging and patient data suggest that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in emotional processing. However, it is still not clear whether the DLPFC in the left and right hemisphere is differentially involved in emotion recognition depending on the emotion considered. Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to shed light on the possible causal role of the left and right DLPFC in encoding valence of positive and negative emotional facial expressions. Participants were required to indicate whether a series of faces displayed a positive or negative expression, while TMS was delivered over the right DLPFC, the left DLPFC, and a control site (vertex). Interfering with activity in both the left and right DLPFC delayed valence categorization (compared to control stimulation) to a similar extent irrespective of emotion type. Overall, we failed to demonstrate any valence-related lateralization in the DLPFC by using TMS. Possible methodological limitations are discussed.

AbstractDespite its basic and translational importance, the neural circuitry supporting the perception of emotional faces remains incompletely understood. Functional imaging studies and chronic lesion studies indicate distinct roles of the amygdala and insula in recognition of fear and disgust in facial expressions, whereas intracranial encephalography studies, which are not encumbered by variations in human anatomy, indicate a somewhat different role of these structures. In this article, we leveraged lesion-mapping techniques in individuals with acute right hemisphere stroke to investigate lesions associated with impaired recognition of prototypic emotional faces before significant neural reorganization can occur during recovery from stroke. Right hemisphere stroke patients were significantly less accurate than controls on a test of emotional facial recognition for both positive and negative emotions. Patients with right amygdala or anterior insula lesions had significantly lower scores than other right hemisphere stroke patients on recognition of angry and happy faces. Lesion volume within several regions, including the right amygdala and anterior insula, each independently contributed to the error rate in recognition of individual emotions. Results provide additional support for a necessary role of the right amygdala and anterior insula within a network of regions underlying recognition of facial expressions, particularly those that have biological importance or motivational relevance and have implications for clinical practice.

The implementation of aqidah (matters of faith) into the soul is one of effective ways in creating elements of goodness which aims to make people able to do their duty well. The determination of implementing akidah as one of subjects in Islamic elementary school is an exact way in creating devout generation who have faith and good behavior because it functions to improve students’ behavior, sanctify their soul, and direct them to the noble and moderate Islamic values. Therefore, in this case, the role of akidah as a subject, should be constructed from the right materials related to the field of divinity and behavior education. This study belongs to library research by using philosophical ontology approach. The aim of this study is to find out the essence of a book entitled “Membina Akidah Akhlak” as one of akidah learning materials used in Islamic elementary school. Moreover, it also tries to analyze its conformity with the curriculum applied as well as jumhur al-mutakallimin.
