In an ongoing search for new models to streamline college training and mentoring, a different training model was developed called the "Big Sister Model". This model was experienced for five years in the kindergarten-training program at the Kay College of education in Israel. Within this model, two female students are trained in each kindergarten: one in the third college year and the other in the second. Together with kindergarten staff, the two students plan the class curriculum and activities. A third-year student, who possess additional one year experience in practicing (veteran), has the opportunity to mentor a 2nd year student who also has the opportunity to observe the training of the third year and get more experience. This process provides a good staff relationship and develops interpersonal relations based on social and psychological elements, which points to a huge positive change in behavior, interpersonal relations and its motivations. In peer mentoring, the mentor accompanies, analyzes, supports, instructs, empowers and provides necessary knowledge in the mentoring process. It undergoes a process of empowerment, leadership, and success (Power et Al, 2011). This study is a continuous action research that aims at examining the effectiveness of the “Big sister” training model. When a third-year student mentors a second-year student, her personality will be accordingly empowered. Moreover, she is exposed to another year of the second year training program, once when she receives guidance in the second year and once more as a 3rd year student mentor. The second-year student enjoys continuous training throughout the day with a close colleague in addition to the training teacher and pedagogical mentor. In addition, she reveals the contents and skills of the third year allowing her ongoing internalization over time all third-year program. In the effectiveness of the training, we also sought to deeply examine the areas that this model promotes and strengthens as well as, how much the students perceive it as a training benefactor compared to the regular model in a control group.

Creeping-rooted alfalfa plants were studied for rate of spreading when planted in a grid spacing of 1.8 m. One year after planting, only three out of 15 lines displayed 100% creep in all five replicates on the basis of shoot formation. In the second year, all clones of all 15 plant lines had developed above-ground shoots. The range of spread varied from an average of 101 cm for the least spreading line to 176 cm for the strongest spreading line. By the third year they had expanded an additional 27% on the average. The stand density decreased as distance from the center of the plant increased. There were definite differences among creeping-rooted plant lines in rate of spreading ability. In three years most plants had spread horizontally to within each other’s peripheries.

In this study we isolate and identify the EnteropathogenicEscherichia coli(EPEC) causing diarrhea in children less than five years in Cairo, Egypt, during different seasons. Children younger than five years with diarrhea, attending the Pediatric Gastroenterology Intensive Care Unit of the Cairo University Pediatric Hospital in one year period were our group of study. Our control group was age and sex matched concurrent healthy children. The identifiedE. coliisolates were subjected to antimicrobial disc diffusion susceptibility test and further identified for EPEC serotype by slide agglutination test, using antiserumE. colisomatic trivalent I (O111, O55, O26) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Out of 134 patients 5.2% of them revealed EPEC in the fecal sample, while the 20 children control group showed no EPEC isolates in their samples. Our EPEC frequency showed variations from the compared results of other studies. Higher rate of EPEC (18.7%) was found in patients between 2 to 3 years, while EPEC rate was (7.5%) in patients less than 6 months old, with . EPEC was identified from fecal specimens as a unique pathogen or associated with other pathogens in acute and chronic diarrhea in children. EPEC were detected in all seasons except in winter, and was predominant in summer season. Four (57%) EPEC isolates were resistant to ampicillin, ticarcillin, and cotrimoxazole, and (14.3%) to the third generation cephalosporins.

Background Variable, and typically inadequate, delivery of skills training following manual wheelchair (MWC) provision has a detrimental impact on user mobility and participation. Traditional in-person delivery of training by rehabilitation therapists has diminished due to cost, travel time, and most recently social distancing restrictions due to COVID-19. Effective alternative training approaches include eHealth home training applications and interactive peer-led training using experienced and proficient MWC users. An innovative TEAM Wheels program integrates app-based self-training and teleconference peer-led training using a computer tablet platform. Objective This protocol outlines implementation and evaluation of the TEAM Wheels training program in a randomized control trial using a wait-list control group. Setting The study will be implemented in a community setting in three Canadian cities. Participants Individuals ≥ 18 years of age within one year of transitioning to use of a MWC. Intervention Using a computer tablet, participants engage in three peer-led teleconference training sessions and 75–150 minutes of weekly practice using a video-based training application over 4 weeks. Peer trainers individualize the participants’ training plans and monitor their tablet-based training activity online. Control group participants also receive the intervention following a 1-month wait-list period and data collection. Measurements Outcomes assessing participation; skill capacity and performance; self-efficacy; mobility; and quality of life will be measured at baseline and post-treatment, and at 6-month follow-up for the treatment group. Impact statement We anticipate that TEAM Wheels will be successfully carried out at all sites and participants will demonstrate statistically significant improvement in the outcome measures compared with the control group.

Environmental factors may play roles in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and some studies have shown that air pollution was associated with the development of autoimmune disease. This study was designed to investigate the effect of air pollutants on the development of adult RA. A nested case-control cohort study was performed using the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort during 2002–2014 in Korea. Air pollution data were collected from the National Ambient Air Monitoring System (NAMIS), and exposure levels were extrapolated using geographic information systems. The group with RA (n = 444) was compared with a propensity score-matched control group (n = 1776), and one-year average concentrations of air pollution were predicted at each patient’s residence. The adjusted binary logistic regression analysis showed a positive association between O3 exposure and the incidence risk of RA for the third (odds ratios (OR) = 1.45, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.08–1.96) and fourth (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.00–1.83) quartiles in adults over 20 years of age. The third quartile CO exposure was also associated with an increased risk of RA (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.16–2.12). The results of this nationwide population-based study showed that a one-year exposure to CO and O3 in adults was associated with an increased risk of RA.

Survival of the weevil, Hylobiuswarreni Wood, in lodgepole pine stumps was examined over a 5-year period in a clearcut area near Robb, Alberta. Larvae continued to develop in the stumps for 2 years after tree removal, although an estimated 88.4% of the larval population apparently died, but none were found in the third year. In the fourth year after cutting, an increase in weevil abundance occurred in adjacent uncut trees. Numbers of newly developed adults in the clearcut areas one year after cutting were about the same as in the uncut areas, but were much higher than in the uncut areas in the second year. The increased rate of weevil development and high numbers of adults in clearcut areas during the second season was attributed to higher temperatures in the larval feeding zone of the stumps. The effects of clearcutting on the surviving adult weevils are discussed and recommendations are made for using clearcutting as a method for weevil control.

Performance Results

A training program to improve clinical supervision behavior, knowledge, self-efficacy, and working alliance among state vocational rehabilitation supervisors (SVRS) was studied. SVRS ( n = 180) were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group. To further validate training effectiveness, counselors ( n = 350) who were assigned to both groups of supervisors also completed parallel outcome measures evaluating their supervisors’ performance. Results indicate differential impact when comparing changes across baseline, Posttest 1 (approximately 6 weeks after baseline), and Posttest 2 data collection (approximately 6 months after baseline) between both supervisory groups. Specifically, in comparison with the control group, supervisors who received the training reported greater changes at Posttest 1 regarding time spent in individual supervision, frequency, and time devoted to group supervision as well as perceived value in providing clinical supervision. Posttest 2 evaluation between groups noted differences in clinical supervision knowledge and behavior, frequency of individual supervision sessions, and time spent in group supervision. In contrast, counselors assigned to one of the supervisory groups reported few differences in parallel outcome measures. Although the intervention provided some support for its effectiveness for supervisors, further modifications are needed before a valid training model exists for rehabilitation counseling.

The article presents the results concerning the duration of GnRH agonist deslorelin «Suprelorin» 4.7 mg using in cats prepubertal and pubertal age. Experiments conducted on pedigree and non-pedigree cats and lasting for 2.5 years. For research was formed three groups (n = 10), age from 3 months to 3 years. The first group was the control animals, they flowed naturally estrus cycle, they received any drugs and have no contact with male. The estrus cycle of the control group of animals observed an average six times within one year, three times in spring and autumn, which is the norm for this type of animal. For 30 months (2.5 years) observation cats from the control group showed excitement stage of estrus cycle an average 15 times. Animals from the second group, age 3–6 months, which has not have the first estrus (prepubertal) was placed subcutaneous implant «Suprelorin» 4.7 mg. In the third group were cats from 7 months to 3 years which have experienced one or more estrus cycles (pubertal). The animals were implanted implant «Suprelorin» 4.7 mg immediately after the last estrus. In the second group of animals (prepubertal), excitement stage of reproductive cycle manifested through 480–1567 days after implant implanted and the average duration of the reproductive cycle was 920 days (30 months). A few cats from this group were found changes in the reproductive system such as: uneven structure of the endometrium, reducing the size of the ovaries, ovarian cysts after ovariohysterectomy. Cats from the third group (pubertal) excitement stage of reproductive cycle manifested after 120 to 730 days after implanted the GnRH implant and the average duration of the reproductive cycle was 379 days (approximately 13 months). A few cats from this group, after ovariohysterectomy, observed changes in the reproductive system such as: endometrial hyperplasia, uneven structure and porosity consistency endometrial, ovarian cyst.

The aim of the paper is to improve the physical training level of the students in the representative swimming team of the University „Politehnica” of Bucharest. In order to achieve the proposed goal, we developed a training program, which focused on the classification of the specific operational structures according to the criterion of the effect on the optimization indicators for the physical training and, implicitly, on the students' results in the semifond trials, the methodical processused being that of the circuit. The research methods we used were the following: the bibliographic study method, the direct and indirect observation method, the experimental method, the statistical-mathematical method and the graphic method. The subjects were evaluated in the initial, intermediate and final phase of the experiment by means of semifond trials: 400 m free and 200 m butterfly. The research activity was carried out during a one-year training period, from 08.10.2016 to 08.10.2017, on a sample of 24 students (aged 19-21) from the University „Politehnica” of Bucharest, who were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group and the control group. During the preparation of the experimental group, the independent variable of the research, namely the physical training program specific to the students swimmers for semifond trials, was introduced, while the control group did the normal training program. The results obtained during the research with the experimental group have materialized in the increase of the physical training parameters, with direct transfer on the results of the trials carried out in the water tests (400 m free and 200 m butterfly). This demonstrates the efficiency of the experimental group's preparation compared to that of the control group, an evolution which is due to applying the independent variable of our research.
