ABSTRACT In anticipation of the development of a vaccine against cytomegalovirus (CMV), we conducted a large, nationally representative serosurvey to examine the seroprevalence of CMV in Australia. Sera were collected opportunistically from laboratories around Australia. Age- and gender-representative samples were tested for CMV antibody. The population-weighted rate of CMV seropositivity in subjects between 1 and 59 years of age was 57% (95% confidence interval, 55.2 to 58.6%). An association between CMV seroprevalence and increasing age was recognized; however, little overall difference in seroprevalence between the sexes was found. The finding that high levels of CMV exposure occur in the first few years of life suggests that for a universal vaccination program to have maximal impact, the vaccine would need to be delivered to infants and have a long duration of protective efficacy. This is the first national serosurvey looking at cytomegalovirus in the Australian community. This study provides valuable information that can be used to examine the incidence of infection in the community and help focus the administration of a future CMV vaccine to appropriate target populations.

Cystic echinococcosis is a serious zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus species complex. The current study is the first attempt to determine the level of infection in domestic livestock and to explore the CE-related knowledge and awareness among livestock farmers in different districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, province of Pakistan. A total of 1297 animals were examined for hydatid cysts including 538 cows, 428 buffaloes, 208 sheep, and 123 goats, at different slaughter houses in different districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2 years from September 2015 to September 2017. For epidemiological investigations, prevalence in association with various factors (climate, age, and gender), organ specificity, types of cysts (fertile, sterile, or calcified), and viability of cysts parameters was recorded. Basing on the results obtained, areas with high prevalence were selected for further follow-ups and administration of questionnaires to the farmers and dog owners, to provide baseline data about this parasitic disease and to identify potential areas of emergence with correspondence animal and of public health significance. The finding of this study revealed the presence of CE in livestock of KP, Pakistan. The prevalence of hydatid cysts was the highest in buffaloes (15.88%) followed by cows (15.79%), sheep (15.38%), and goats (3.25%). Our investigation revealed close relationship between prevalence and animal age and gender in different months of the year. These findings also showed the highest prevalence of hydatid cysts in liver (63.49%), followed by lungs (23.80%) and mesentery (2.64%). Fertile and viable cysts were observed in all animal species except goats. The highest percentage of fertile and viable cysts was reported from the liver and lungs of sheep. For evaluation of risk factors, a total of 384 respondents were investigated. The results of current study revealed that 97.9% of farmers are not familiar with CE and transmission of this infection from dogs to human and livestock. The present study shows that CE will continue to be of medical and veterinary importance in Pakistan.

Significant Life Experiences

AbstractThis study provides evidence of the significant life experiences (SLEs), which influence advocates for nonhuman animals to develop sensitivity toward animals. Thirty-nine humane educators participated in an online survey. Findings indicate that having a relationship with a companion animal in adulthood is the most important life experience, followed by having a childhood experience with an animal, being exposed to a positive role model in childhood, and reading about animals and animal issues. The study did not find age and gender related differences in life experiences. This paper compares the results from this study to two previous studies. The first study examined the SLEs of animal advocate leaders through analysis of autobiographies, biographies, oral histories, and written interviews. The second study examined the SLEs of animal rescuers through an open-ended survey. This paper discusses similarities and differences among these three groups.

El principal objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer la influencia de la edad y el género en la capacidad de cambiar de dirección (CODA) en niños y niñas de educación primaria. En este estudio participaron 343 niños y niñas (8.2 ± 1.1 años, 143.2 ± 8.7 cm, 37.8 ± 9.9 kg) estudiantes de primer, segundo, tercer y cuarto curso de educación primaria. Para evaluar la CODA se utilizó el Modified Agility Test (MAT). Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas (F(3) = 56.25, p ≤ 0.001) entre los grupos de edad. Las diferencias en la CODA entre chicos y chicas no se han manifestado hasta el cuarto curso (t(56) = -2.30, p = 0.02) de educación primaria. Atendiendo a la edad y al género, la evolución de los chicos y las chicas fue diferente. Estos resultados pueden exponer la necesidad de implementar programas específicos para mejorar la capacidad de cambio de dirección en distintos momentos en función de la edad y del género.Abstract. The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of age and gender on the ability to change direction (ACD) in elementary education children. This study involved 343 children (8.2 ± 1.1 years, 143.2 ± 8.7 cm, 37.8 ± 9.9 kg) from first, second, third and fourth year of elementary education. The Modified Agility Test (MAT) was used to evaluate the ACD. The results showed significant differences (F(3) = 56.25, p ≤ 0.001) between the age groups. Differences in ACD between boys and girls have not manifested through fourth grade (t(56) = -2.30, p = 0.02). The development of boys and girls was different by age. These results may lead us to think about the need to implement age- and gender-specific programs to improve the ACD at different times.

The Relationship

Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a very common polygenic chronic disease for which several environmental risk and protective factors have been considered, including breastfeeding and early weaning. Methods: To determine the influence of breastfeeding and early weaning in the development of AD in a sample of Mexican children, one hundred patients with AD were selected (group I) and compared with one hundred non-atopic children (group II). The subjects in these groups were matched according to age and gender. The mothers of both groups completed a questionnaire that collected information on the length of breastfeeding, and the child’s age at the time of weaning. Statistical analyses were performed and information was presented in percentages, X square, Odds Ratios (OR), and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results: The relationship between breastfeeding and AD was not statistically significant; however, we were able to demonstrate a close relationship between early weaning (before four months of age) and AD (p<0.0001, OR=2.85, 95% CI: 1.15-5.3). Conclusion: In a sample of the indigent pediatric population with Mestizo ancestry, AD is significantly related with early weaning. Infants who are weaned before four months of age have an almost three times greater riskthan the general population of developing AD.

The Relationship

The aggressiveness in the school classrooms is a growing up phenomenon that is now in the center of the social concern. This study was conducted in a Elementary School Center at The Principality of Asturias, and aims to establish the relationship between the interactions the children make with their peers and the violent behaviors inside of the school based on the age and gender. Participants were 132 students. The results support the idea that boys show more violent behavior than girls, the age issue was significant (the upper grade of the student means more use of the violence). Besides the kids seen by their teacher as violent are rejected and less popular in the class; this does not happen in the case of both girls and the children of the lower grades, because there is not a significant correlation between aggressiveness and integration into the group

Theory Of Multiple Intelligences ◽

And Gender

In the theory of multiple intelligences put forth by Howard Gardner, initially, he classified 7 intelligences (logical, linguistic, musical, visual, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal) and later added another 2 (naturalistic, existential). In this study our aim was to explore whether or not there is a correlation between these 9 intelligence types and individuals' age and gender. We used cluster sampling to select participants for the study from students in grades 10, 11 and 12 at 4 high schools in the Famagusta and Iskele Districts, Northern Cyprus. We used the Multiple Intelligences Inventory and performed independent samples t test and analysis of variance. We found statistically significant differences for verbal, kinesthetic, existential, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligences according to gender and statistically significant differences for visual, logical, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential intelligences according to age.
