Abstract The aim of the study was to analyse and compare the level of selected coordination abilities of pupils with communication ability disorder (CAD) and able-bodied pupils in the same age category. Two groups of participants were recruited for the study: (1) pupils attending special elementary school for children with CAD (n = 17; 5 girls and 12 boys in mean age 11.2 ± 0.7 years), (2) and ablebodied pupils (n = 20; 12 girls and 8 boys in mean age 11.4 ± 0.5 years) without gender differentiation. 5 standardised tests measuring coordination abilities were used as a primary research method (Šimonek 2015): low jump test, spatial orientation ability test, circles through running test, one leg stand test, catching ball test. Group differences were analysed with Mann-Whitney U-test for independent samples. The level of significance was α < 0.05. We found significantly higher level of spatial orientation ability and static balance displayed by able-bodied pupils comparing pupils with CAD. The level of lower limb kinaesthetic discrimination ability, rhythmic ability, frequency and reaction time in pupils with CAD are comparable to the level of able-bodied pupils. We recommend that children with CAD should participate in regular physical activities and sports after compulsory education together with able-bodied children to improve their fine and gross motor ability, coordination abilities as well as overall physical fitness.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p50 The aim of this study was to verify and to analyze adaptations on physical and physiological variables of futsal athletes during the pre-competitive and competitive phases of a training macrocycle. The sample was composed of nine Under-18 futsal athletes who performed the following tests: vertical jump, 10 and 30-meter linear sprint, repeated sprint ability test, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 and VO2máx. Based on the qualitative analysis of the change magnitude, it was possible to verify adaptations from training for the vertical jump test (certainly positive), 10-meter linear sprint (likely decrease), 30-meter linear sprint (irrelevant), repeated sprint ability test for best sprint (irrelevant), mean of sprints (likely decrease), fatigue index (likely decrease), YYIRI (likely increase), VO2máx (likely decrease) and speed of VO2máx (likely increase). Thus, it was possible to verify that training-induced adaptations were positive since athletes improved their performance for the most control tests for each physical capacities of futsal (vertical jumps, 10-meter linear sprint, and repeated agility sprint test for the mean of sprints and fatigue index and aerobic resistance. Therefore, data have shown that athletes improved their physical performance considering the characteristics of futsal during training throughout a macrocycle.

Phospholipase A2 Receptor

AbstractMembranous nephropathy (MN) and minimal change disease (MCD) are two common causes leading to nephrotic syndrome (NS). They have similar clinical features but different treatment strategies and prognoses. M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is considered as a specific marker of membranous nephropathy. However, its sensitivity is only about 70%. Therefore, there is a lack of effective and noninvasive tools to distinguish PLA2R-negative MN and MCD patients without renal biopsy. A total 949 patients who were pathologically diagnosed as idiopathic MN or MCD were enrolled in this study, including 805 idiopathic MN and 144 MCD. Based on the basic information and laboratory examination of 200 PLA2R-negative MN and 144 MCD, we used a univariate and multivariate logistic regression to select the relevant variables and develop a discrimination model. A novel model including age, albumin, urea, high density lipoprotein, C3 levels and red blood cell count was established for PLA2R-negative MN and MCD. The discrimination model has great differential capability (with an AUC of 0.904 in training group and an AUC of 0.886 in test group) and calibration capability. When testing in all 949 patients, our model also showed good discrimination ability for all idiopathic MN and MCD.

Sixty market hogs originating from one producer and finished in a concrete and steel facility were divided into two groups of 30 and housed for approximately 60 h on either straw (control group) or pentachlorophenol (PCP) treated wood shavings (test group). Feed, straw, and shavings were analyzed for PCP residues. Both feed and straw yielded nondetectable levels of PCP residues, while shavings ranged from 0.03 to 12.0 ppm. The hogs were shipped to slaughter without bedding, and liver, fat and muscle (muscle from the test group only) samples were collected postmortem. The mean level of PCP residue in control (straw) hog livers was 0.037 ppm, while that of livers of hogs bedded with contaminated shavings was 0.342 ppm, a highly significant difference. The t-value using Welch's approximation equalled 9.77 using 28.5 degrees of freedom, indicating the mean PCP residue level was higher for the treated than the control group at a 0.01% level of significance.

The three-parameter Weibull function met specified standards for goodness of fit as a model for the diameter distributions of mixed stands of western hemlock and Douglas-fir. Weibull distributions estimated by maximum likelihood (MLE) fit 80 of 83 observed diameter distributions at the α = 0.20 level of significance by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Weibull parameter prediction equations were developed by regressing characteristics of 42 stands against MLE of the parameters. The Weibull diameter distributions predicted from stand age, mean diameter, mean height, and trees per acre (1 a = 100 m2) fit 39 of 41 observed distributions in the test group at the α = 0.20 level of significance. These results compared favorably with those found for various forest types by other authors. These prediction equations will prove useful in stand modeling and in updating forest inventories.

Hearts And Minds

Basically every student must master mathematics taught in school because mathematics is a branch of science from various sciences but in fact many students think that mathematics is a complicated lesson that makes them feel dizzy to learn it. In the end their hearts and minds were not open to understanding mathematics when it was explained by the teacher in school so that they had a lot of problems to solve the problem and resulted in incorrect filling in the questions given. The purpose of this study is none other than to analyze students' errors in mathematical communication skills in completing flat-build material. The subjects used were students from one of the high schools in Cihampelas. This research method is qualitative descriptive and the instrument used consists of a mathematical communication ability test. Based on the results of the research, the location of the causes of errors made by students is a concept, procedure and computational error. Factors that cause errors because they do not understand simple concepts, do not know the purpose of the problem, cannot complete mathematical sentences and are not careful in calculating.
