The emotional responses to five flavoured popcorns (butter, cheese, caramel, barbecue and Thai spicy) compared to ‘not eat anything’ on watching each genre of five digital video disk (DVD) movies (action, comedy, fantasy, romance and horror movies) were measured by 100 voluntary audiences. They were recruited to participate in the sensory laboratory set as a theatre. After five minutes of watching each movie, they had to taste each of the flavoured popcorns for 25 g serving with 250 mL of drinking water than their 39 emotional and 2 sensory responses were recorded. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and emotional ratio profiling of all flavoured popcorns on watching each movie were analysed. The results revealed that the mean overall liking score for each flavoured popcorn was not different, but the mean emotional scores that responded to each flavoured popcorn on watching each movie were different significantly (p < 0.01). During watching the action movie, butter and cheese flavoured popcorns seemed to significantly evoke most emotions on ‘daring’ and ‘pleasant’ (p < 0.01). While watching the horror movie, caramel flavoured popcorn undoubtedly evoked the most emotional responses among other flavoured popcorns. These emotional responses to each of flavoured popcorns on each of variety DVD movies might be used for movie theatre strategic promotion and advertisement to add value and distinction for the flavoured popcorn products in all cases.

The objective was to test three methods of low cost image capture, in order to make possible the future use of the software in development. Twenty frozen semen samples were used to make the images. One drop of 10μL of semen was added on a slide, and this was carried under a microscope attached to a microscope camera and with a digital camera and a camera phone positioned in the eyepieces of the microscope by means of a holder. A 20-second videos were made. From them, pictures were taken, which the technician used to do the sperm count to compare the range and accuracy of each image capture device. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey's test, at 5% of significance. The mean number of spermatozoa counted in the images differed, being 145.10 ± 98.72 for the microscope camera, 17.90 ± 11.25 for the digital camera and 407.80 ± 299.42 for the cellular camera (p <0.05). It was observed a great variation of the performance of the different types of image capture, being that the camera of the cell obtained the best performance.

The purpose of the paper is to study and compare the Multiple Intelligences of girls and boys studying in VII and IX grades. The nature of study was descriptive. Two stage sampling was used to select sample. The sample of the study constitutes 4577 students in which 2010 were from grade VII and 2567 students from grade IX. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to find the significant difference in the multiple Intelligences of students with respect to grades. The findings shows that there is a significant difference in the multiple Intelligences of grade VII and IX students. The mean scores indicate that IX grade students were found to be high on Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Naturalistic and Existential Intelligence than VII grade students. The inter-correlation between different types of Intelligence was calculated with respect to grades. It was found that the coefficient of correlation between different types of Multiple Intelligences were high in case of grade VII students in comparison to grade IX students. Profile Analysis was used to derive an inference about the level of multiple intelligences of students with respect to grades. The findings showed that IX grade students i.e. girls and boys were found to be high on all types of Intelligences than VII grade students i.e. girls and boys. Suggestions and implication of the study were discussed.

Fluoride Ion Selective Electrode

The surface enamel (~ 4 μm) fluoride concentrations of different tooth types (11, 21, 22, 23, 24) were determined in 12-13-year-old children who were life-long residents in a naturally high (3.70 ppm) and in a near optimal (0.62 ppm) fluoride area. Enamel biopsies were taken by means of an acid-etch procedure, and the fluoride levels were measured with an adapted fluoride-ion-selective electrode. The enamel fluoride concentrations were related to the fluoride levels of the drinking water, and it appeared that the enamel fluoride concentrations of the different tooth types (except for the pre-molars) were associated with the length of the pre-eruptive period. In general, for both areas, the mean enamel fluoride concentrations increased from the central incisor to the lateral incisor and were found to be the highest in the canine, while the mean fluoride content of the first pre-molar nearly equaled that of the central incisor. No statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were found between the enamel fluoride concentrations of the different tooth types or the etching depths, from different sexes.

Physiological Reactions

This study tests whether playing violent video games leads to desensitization and increased cardiovascular responding. In a laboratory experiment, 42 men spent 20 min playing either a high- or low-violence version of a “first-person shooter” game. Arousal (heart rate, respiration rate) was measured continuously. After playing the game, emotional responses to aversive and aggressive stimuli - pictures from Lang, Bradley, and Cuthbert’s (1999) International Affective Picture System - were assessed with self-ratings and physiological measurement (skin conductance). Results showed no differences in the judgments of emotional responses to the stimuli. However, different effects of game violence emerged in the physiological reactions to the different types of stimulus material. Participants in the high-violence condition showed significantly weaker reactions (desensitization) to aversive stimuli and reacted significantly more strongly (sensitization) to aggressive cues. No support was found for the arousal hypothesis. Post-hoc analyses are used to discuss possible moderating influences of gaming experience and player’s trait aggressiveness in terms of the General Aggression Model ( Anderson & Bushman, 2001 ) and the Downward Spiral Model ( Slater, Henry, Swaim, & Anderson, 2003 ).

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of retinoblastoma in the overall population of Poland. Methods: The retrospective survey of both National Health Fund (NHF) and National Cancer Registry (NCR) databases were performed to identify all retinoblastoma cases in Poland in the years 2010–2017. Results: During 2010–2017, the mean age-standardised incidence of retinoblastoma (the unit of incidence is per 1,000,000 person-years) was 10.15 (95% CI 7.23–13.08) among children aged 0 to 4 years and 5.39 (95% CI 4.18–6.60) in those aged 0 to 9 years. During 2010–2014 (to allow 5 years of follow-up), the mean incidence of retinoblastoma by birth cohort analysis in Poland was 4.89 (95% CI 4.04–5.74) per 100,000 live births, corresponding to an incidence of 1 per 20,561 (95% CI 15,855–25,267) live births. In Poland, 14.6% of children with retinoblastoma had enucleation of the eye globe, 76.8% received different types of chemotherapy combined with focal treatment, 5.9% were treated with external beam radiotherapy, and 2.7% were treated with focal treatments only. Conclusions: The incidence of retinoblastoma and the pattern of medical management of retinoblastoma in Poland was similar to that reported in developed countries in Western Europe, Asia, and North America.

Background and Objectives: To evaluate the performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) using power calculation formulas on different types of IOL. Materials and Methods: 120 eyes and four IOL types (BioLine Yellow Accurate Aspheric IOL (i-Medical), TECNIS ZCB00, TECNIS ZA9003 (Johnson & Johnson) (3-piece IOL) and Softec HD (Lenstec)) were analyzed. The performance of Haigis, Barret Universal II and SKR-II formulas were compared between IOL types. The mean prediction error (ME) and mean absolute prediction error (MAE) were analyzed. Results: The overall percentage of eyes predicted within ±0.25 diopters (D) was 40.8% for Barret; 39.2% Haigis and 31.7% for SRK-II. Barret and Haigis had a significantly lower MAE than SRK-II (p < 0.05). The results differed among IOL types. The largest portion of eyes predicted within ±0.25 D was with the Barret formula in ZCB00 (33.3%) and ZA9003 (43.3%). Haigis was the most accurate in Softec HD (50%) and SRK-II in Biolline Yellow IOL (50%). ZCB00 showed a clinically significant hypermetropic ME compared to other IOLs. Conclusions: In general, Barret formulas had the best performance as a universal formula. However, the formula should be chosen according to the type of IOL in order to obtain the best results. Constant optimizations are necessary for the Tecnis IOL ZCB00 and ZA9003, as all of the analyzed formulas achieved a clinically significant poor performance in this type of IOL. ZCB00 also showed a hypermetropic shift in ME in all the formulas.

Aims:The purpose of this study was to investigate disability among patients suffering from schizophrenia and to identify predictors of disability.Methods:101 patients from different types of psychiatric services in Vienna and diagnosed with schizophrenia according to ICD-10 were included. They were investigates by means of 36-Item self-administered version of the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DAS-II) and the PANSS-scale. Patients’ mothers and fathers were asked to fill in the Family Problem Questionnaire.Results:The mean total score of the WHO-DAS-II was 74.1 (SD 21.9). When using weighted sub-scores the highest disability scores were found for social contacts, participation in society and household (means 2.58, 2.57 and 2.51 respectively). Using logistic regression, overall disability was positively associated with patient's age, overall severity of symptoms (PANSS) and number of previous hospital admissions. Overall disability was not associated with duration of illness and or patient's gender. The subjective burden experienced by patients’ fathers and mothers were increased by reduced social contacts and impaired participation in society, while we could not find an association with other domains of patient's disability (understanding, mobility, self-care, household).Conclusions:This study shows that schizophrenia results in disability in several domains. Family caregivers’ burden was predominantly increased by social consequences of schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT Plasma progesterone concentrations were compared in cyclic (n = 12), pregnant (n =12), oestradiol-induced pseudopregnant (n=12) and hysterectomized gilts (n=10) between days 8 and 27 after oestrus. The results were grouped into periods covering days 8–13, 14–20 and 21–27 and analysed by least-squares analysis of variance. Plasma progesterone concentrations were significantly (P<0·001) higher in hysterectomized compared with other groups between days 8 and 13. Progesterone concentrations declined rapidly after day 14 in cyclic females and gradually in the other groups. Throughout the third and fourth weeks the mean progesterone concentrations for hysterectomized animals were consistently higher than for pseudopregnant animals (P<0·05). The pregnant group means were below but not significantly different from the hysterectomized means in both of the last two periods. The greater progesterone concentrations in hysterectomized gilts indicated that secretion is high without any conceptus-produced or -mediated luteotrophin, and corpora lutea in cyclic, pregnant or pseudopregnant gilts may never reach full secretory potential.
