First Time

The present study provides a description and analysis of the plight of first-time detained juvenile delinquents in the United States and the impact of noncognitive attributes and academic achievement on grades. Juvenile delinquents have poor outcomes as adults in higher rates of drug abuse, poor high school graduation rates, and lowered employment well into adulthood. The research questions examined the correlation among the noncognitive attributes of grit, academic self-concept, mental health, and self-esteem, academic achievement, and English and Mathematics grades for first-time detained juvenile delinquents aged 10-18. A multiple regression analysis of archival records of students in a short-term juvenile detention center was conducted. Findings showed three predictor variables were statistically significant and influenced academic performance measured by grades: verbal ability, social self-esteem, and prosocial skills. For juvenile delinquents (n = 72; males = 58, females = 14) aged 10-18 (M =15.3; SD = 1.6; range 10-18), the three predictor variables predicted English grades (adjusted R2 = .280) and Mathematics grades (adjusted R2 = .225). There was a discussion and recommendations for policies and research. The results support the need to consider noncognitive factors and the consideration of communication skills in the education of juvenile delinquents.

One hundred juvenile delinquents were examined electroencephalographically in order to investigate the incidence and importance of obvious or previously unrecognized temporal lobe epilepsy. This correlation was not found to be significant. Twenty-nine patients were found to have 14 and 6 per second positive spikes. Inquiry also revealed that 13 of the 89 teenagers, for whom a good history could be obtained, had had breath-holding spells in earlier years.

Flexibility for many viewers comes from digital technologies and their interaction with television broadcasting. Significantly, as television is switched to digital transmissions, viewers with disability have the potential to experience flexibility in the form of accessibility features such as audio descriptions, captions, lip-reading avatars, signing avatars, spoken subtitles and clean audio. This flexibility may in fact provide some people with access to television for the first time. This exploratory study reports results from an online survey of Australians with disabilities conducted during the final months of the simulcast period before analogue signals were switched off in 2013. While captioning emerged as the most desired accessibility feature, differences surfaced when the data were broken into specific impairment types. This article highlights the importance of digital flexibility specific to impairment type, and locates people with disability as a significant group to consider as more changes take place around digital television broadcasting via the NBN.

Insight Into

Lameness in sheep continues to be a global health, welfare and economic concern. Damaged, misshapen or overgrown feet have the potential to cause lameness either directly, or indirectly. There is a lack of understanding of the predisposing factors for different hoof conformation traits in sheep. Our exploratory study aimed to investigate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, three distinct hoof conformation traits relating to the sole and heel, hoof wall, and hoof wall overgrowth. Feet of 400 ewes from four UK commercial sheep farms were inspected at four time points across 12 months. For each conformation trait, a four-point ordinal system was used to score each individual claw, and foot-level scores were calculated. We present 92.4% of foot-level observations to be affected by ≥1 conformation traits. Whilst hoof conformation traits were correlated to some degree, a unique set of sheep-, foot- and farm-level factors were associated with each distinct conformation trait. We provide, for the first time, key insight into the multifaceted and multifactorial aetiology of hoof conformation in sheep, building upon previous landmark studies. Our results inform hypotheses for future prospective studies investigating the risk factors for adverse hoof conformation in sheep.

Pediatricians have long interested themselves in the health of juvenile delinquents. The Academy first appointed a Committee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1955. Although this Committee has changed its title to the Committee on Youth and has expanded its role to include other problems and concerns of young people, it still concerns itself with the health supervision of youth in detention facilities. It has now developed, with the endorsement of the National Council of Juvenile Court Judges, written standards for health care provided in juvenile court institutions.1 Juvenile delinquents come largely from low income families, and often from families with serious social problems.

The FcγRIIa polymorphism R/H131, autoantibodies against the platelet receptors GPIbα and FcγRIIa and a risk for thromboembolism in lupus anticoagulant patients

SummaryThere is a clear propensity of individuals with lupus anticoagulant (LA) for thromboembolic disease (TE). Yet, it is not clear how individuals at risk for TE can be differentiated from those who are not. The FcγRIIa receptor is the only Fc receptor expressed by platelets. As platelets can be activated via this receptor, we have compared gene frequencies of the FcγRIIa polymorphism R/H131 in 46 and 27 patients with (LA/TE+) and without TE (LA/TE-), respectively, in an exploratory study. Furthermore, we investigated the presence of autoantibodies against FcγRIIa and/or GPIbα, which is in close proximity to the FcγRIIa and interacts with it functionally, and a possible linkage of antibody formation to HLA class II alleles. The FcγRIIa-R/R131 genotype was significantly less frequent in patients with LA compared to controls (p< 0.025). These findings were due to an increased frequency of heterozygous patients in the LA/TE+ cohort (odds ratio 6.76, 95% confidence interval 1.55 – 62.03, p< 0.008). For the first time, heterozygosity, rather than homozygosity, can be linked to disease, which may be explained by the dual function of the FcγRIIa, namely binding of antibodies to platelets and thereby their activation, and, on the other hand, clearance of antibody coated platelets by the phagocyte system. There was no correlation between the presence of anti-FcγRIIa or anti GPIbα autoantibodies and the FcγRIIa -R/H131 polymorphism, nor the incidence of TE, nor HLA class II alleles.
