Thepurposeof the research is to study integral personal and interpersonal characteristics of parents bringing up children with complex developmental disorders. The article is based on the following psychodiagnostics methods: Parental Attitude Questionnaire (A. Varga & V. Stolin); Family Relationship Analysis (E. Eidemiller, V. Yustytskis); PARI (Parental Attitude Research Instrument) (E. Schaefer & Bell); Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI) for studying personal characteristics; N. Kurhanska & T.A. Nemchyn method to assess mental activation, interest, emotional tonus, tension, and comfort; “The semantic differential” (Ch.Osgood) for quantitative and qualitative value indexing; V. Kahan & I. Zhuravlova Inventory for Parental Attitudes to the Child’s Disease; “Sentence Completion Test.” (J. Sacks & L. Sidney). Factorization based on principal component analysis (PCA) followed by Varimax rotation of psychological scales has made it possible to gain a model of personal and interpersonal characteristics of parents bringing up children with complex developmental disorders. Researchresults. It has been specified personal characteristics in the form of dominant-aggressive, psychasthenic, extraversive, sthenic-introversive personal dispositions, which together form a marital subsystem. The research has outlined indulgent, authoritarian, constructive, phobic-indulgent, liberal-anxious educational systems that comprise a child-parent subsystem in the factor model of personal and interpersonal characteristics of par-ents. Conclusions. It is stated that substantial nature and particularities of integral personal and inter-personal factors, which have been noticed in parents bringing up children with complex developmental disorders, are personal predicators of the effectiveness of their psychological follow-up.

Purpose. The purposeof the article is to analyze the results of an empirical study of the peculiarities of child-parent relationships in families raising children with complex developmental disorders.Methods. To achieve this goal, psychodiagnostic techniques were used, such as E. Schaefer’s Parental Attitude Test (PARI) and VV Parental Attitude Test Questionnaire. Stolina and A.Ya. Vargi. Student’s parametric criterion was used to identify statistical differences in parental attitudes in different groups.Results. A comparative study was conducted on 136 parents of children with musculoskeletal disorders and mental retardation, 152 parents of children with complex speech disabilities in combination with intellectual disabilities and 184 parents with children without developmental disabilities. A total of 472 parents took part in the study of child-parent relationships in families raising children with complex developmental disorders. The difference in the parental attitude to mentally retarded children with musculoskeletal disorders and to children with a complex of speech and intellectual disorders is a combination of the first higher level of emotional rejection and, at the same time, infantilization of the child. Parents of children with intellectual disabilities try to protect their children from the difficulties, complexities of the world and at the same time, this is one of the frustrating factors that manifests itself in the increased irritability of parents. Parents of children with disabilities are more likely to encourage the child’s dependence, to consider the child dependent and infantile. Parents of children with motor and intellectual disabilities are more likely to perceive their child as an unadapted life and a loser.Conclusions. The most unfavorable for the child attitudes and the nature of the relationship are demonstrated by parents who raise children with movement disorders and mental retardation compared to the parents of children with language and intellectual disabilities. Parents who have children with speech and intellectual disabilities have a more positive pedagogical prognosis of their upbringing and education of children, and hence the possible more successful social adaptation of the child in the future.Key words: children, dysontogenesis, parents, musculoskeletal disorders, mental retardation, speech disorders. Мета статті полягає в аналізі результатів емпіричного дослідження особливостей дитячо-батьківських стосунків у сім’ях, які виховують дітей із комплексними порушеннями розвитку.Методи. Для досягнення мети були використані такі психодіагностичні методики, як тест бать-ківських настанов (PARI) E. Шефера і тест-опитувальник батьківського ставлення В.В. Століна й А.Я. Варги. Для виявлення статистичної відмінності в батьківському ставленні в різних групах засто-совували параметричний критерій Стьюдента.Результати. Було проведено порівняльне дослідження 136 батьків дітей із порушенням опорно-рухового апарату та розумовою відсталістю, 152 батьків дітей зі складними мовленнєвими вадами в поєднанні з порушеннями інтелектуального розвитку та 184 батьків, які мають дітей із нормативним розвитком. Загалом у вивченні дитячо-батьківських взаємин у сім’ях, які виховують дітей із комплексними порушеннями розвитку, взяли участь 472 батьків. Відмінність у батьківському ставленні до розумово відсталих дітей із порушенням опорно-рухового апарату і до дітей із комплексом мовленнєвих та інте-лектуальних порушень полягає в поєднанні в перших більш високого рівня емоційного відкидання і водночас інфантилізації дитини. Батьки дітей, що мають інтелектуальне недорозвинення, намагаються захистити своїх дітей від труднощів, складнощів навколишнього світу, саме це є одним із фруструючих чинників, що проявляється в підвищеній дратівливості батьків. Батьки дітей із вадами розвитку більш схильні заохочувати залежність дитини, уважати дитину несамостійною й інфантильною. Батьки дітей із руховими й інтелектуальними порушеннями більш схильні сприймати свою дитину непристосованою до життя та невдахою. Висновки. Найбільш несприятливі для дитини настанови та характер взаємин демонструють батьки, які виховують дітей із руховими порушеннями та розумовою відсталістю, порівняно з батьками дітей із порушеннями мовленнєвого й інтелектуального розвитку. Батьки, які мають дітей із логопедичними й інтелектуальними вадами розвитку, мають більш позитивний педагогічний прогноз їх виховання і навчання, отже, і можливу більш успішну соціальну адаптацію дитини в майбутньому.Ключові слова: діти, дизонтогенез, батьки, порушення опорно-рухового апарату, розумова відсталість, мовленнєві порушення.

Abstract Background A high rate of cesarean delivery has become a cause of global concern. Although the rate of cesarean delivery has declined over recent years, it remains at a high level largely because of cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR). Unnecessary cesarean delivery has limited significance in benefiting maternal and infant physical health; in some ways, it might pose potential risks instead. With the implementation of the “Two-child Policy” in China, an increasing number of women plan to have a second child. Accordingly, how to handle the CDMR rate in China remains an important issue. Methods Data were collected from a longitudinal follow-up study conducted in Chongqing, China, from 2018 to 2019. A structured questionnaire was administered to subjects for data collection. Basic information, including demographic characteristics, living habits, medical history, and follow-up data of pregnant women, as well as their families and society, was collected. Additionally, delivery outcomes were recorded. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors influencing CDMR. Results The rate of cesarean delivery in Chongqing, China was 36.01 %, and the CDMR rate was 8.42 %. Maternal request (23.38 %), fetal distress (22.73 %), and pregnancy complications (9.96 %) were the top three indications for cesarean delivery. Logistic regression analysis showed that older age (OR = 4.292, 95 % CI: 1.984–9.283) and being a primiparous woman (OR = 6.792, 95 % CI: 3.230-14.281) were risk factors for CDMR. In addition, CDMR was also associated with factors such as the tendency to choose cesarean delivery during late pregnancy (OR = 5.525, 95 % CI: 2.116–14.431), frequent contact with mothers who had undergone vaginal deliveries (OR = 0.547, 95 % CI: 0.311–0.961), and the recommendation of cesarean delivery by doctors (OR = 4.071, 95 % CI: 1.007–16.455). Conclusions “Maternal request” has become the primary indication for cesarean delivery. The occurrence of CDMR is related to both the personal factors of women during pregnancy and others. Medical institutions and obstetricians should continue popularizing delivery knowledge among pregnant women, enhancing their own professional knowledge about delivery, adhering to the standard indications for cesarean delivery, and providing pregnant women with adequate opportunities for attempting vaginal delivery.

This study explored the idea that motivation for learning can be a process as well as a product: the product being an active state of motivation whereas the process would include the antecedents that created that state. This hypothesis was tested by interviewing 47 university students immediately after normal lectures. Results showed that 89% had experienced an active state of motivation (the product phase) that was influenced by antecedents that included personal characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy, individual interest), temporal personal factors (mood, fatigue), and contextual factors (teacher enthusiasm and “interestingness”). It was concluded that process-product is a potentially useful framework for conceptualizing motivation.

Ischemic Encephalopathy

Introduction: HIE is often clinically suspected in the setting of a known perinatal stress event arising from a complicated or difcult delivery. The most sensitive and specic imaging technique for examining infants with suspected hypoxicischemic brain injury is MR imaging. It also gives information about the timing and specic patterns of injury and also suggest diagnoses other than HIE such as metabolic disorders and developmental disorders of the brain. MRI is also a useful tool in the determination of prognosis and also follow-up of HIE. Aim: This study was undertaken to evaluate the various MRI appearances of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in term and preterm neonates and to correlate the MRI appearances with clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: All neonates with history of birth asphyxia, referred for MRI examination to the Department of Radio-Diagnosis, K. R. Hospital attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, during January 2018 to January 2019. All MRI scans were performed on GE optima MR360 1.5 Tesla. Sequences used were T1W axial, T1 FLAIR axial, T2W axial, T2 FLAIR axial, T1W sag, T2W coronal, T2W GRE axial, DWI axial and ADC maps. Results: 30 babies with clinically suspicion of HIE and positive ndings on MR imaging were evaluated in our study. Out of 30 babies, 18 were term and 12 babies were preterm. Periventricular luecomalacia is most common MRI pattern in preterm and central pattern in term neonates. 16 babies had abnormal developmental outcome at 6 months follow up study. 16 babies with diffusion restriction in corpus callosum, 12 had abnormal outcome. 7 out of 10 babies with loss of normal signal in internal capsule had abnormal outcome. Babies with diffusion restriction in basal ganglia had gross developmental delay. Conclusion: MRI is the modality of choice for evaluation of HIE because of excellent gray – white matter resolution, well-depiction of myelination pattern and multi-planar imaging capabilities. There is a strong relation between the MRI appearances of birth asphyxia and the clinical outcome. Therefore MRI has a strong role in prognosticating lesions.

Parental Barriers

BACKGROUND Globally, there is an increasing prevalence of excessive screen time exposure among young children, including Malaysia. Parents are advised to limit this exposure but there are barriers for many of them to follow this recommendation. To date, there is a lack of studies on the factors that cause these parental barriers. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the parental barrier towards the reduction of excessive child’s screen time and its predictors among parents of children under five years old in Petaling District, Selangor. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2019 to June 2020 among 789 parent-child dyads attending child health clinics in Petaling District, Selangor. Validated self-administered questionnaires were used to capture information on sociodemographic factors, parental influences, child-related factors, environmental factors, and parental barriers. Stratified sampling with probability proportionate to size was employed. Data were analysed with IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis were performed before multiple linear regression was used to identify the predictors of parental barriers. RESULTS The overall mean score of parental barriers was 3.51 ± 0.83, indicating that the average numbers of barriers experienced by parents were more than three. The multivariate analysis showed that the predictors of parental barriers included monthly household income (adjusted β: -0.031, 95% CI: -0.048 to -0.015), parents who worked in public sectors (adjusted β: 0.178, 95% CI: 0.063 to 0.292), positive parental attitude on screens (adjusted β: 0.684, 95% CI: 0.576 to 0.793), parents’ low self-efficacy to influence child’s physical activity (adjusted β: -0.318, 95% CI: -0.432 to -0.204), and child’s screen time (adjusted β: 0.042, 95% CI: 0.024 to 0.061). CONCLUSIONS The strongest predictor of the parental barriers to reduce excessive child’s screen time was the positive parental attitude on screen time. Thus, future intervention strategies should aim to foster correct parental attitudes towards screen time activities among young children.

The article examines the study of personal characteristics of parents of children with special educational needs in education (SEN) in the city of Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. Today, the problem of studying a family, raising children with special needs in education is relevant and requires extensive research. This is confirmed by the large number of children with SEN in Kazakhstan. The study is aimed in particular at studying the factor of influence of certain parental personality traits and characteristics (mechanisms of psychological defense, coping-strategy and guilt conscience) on the child and on his abilities and success in educational and correctional processes. The scientific novelty of the results of this article lies in the correlation between the personal characteristics of the parents of children with SEN with the data that determine the parental attitude towards the child and the impact of the studied indicators of the parents on the child’s progress in correctional and specialized educational programs.

Abstract Background: Genetic factors may influence the susceptibility to high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection and persistence. We conducted the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify variants associated with cervical hrHPV infection and persistence. Methods: Participants were 517 Nigerian women evaluated at baseline and 6 months follow-up visits for HPV. HPV was characterized using SPF10/LiPA25. hrHPV infection was positive if at least one carcinogenic HPV genotype was detected in a sample provided at the baseline visit and persistent if at least one carcinogenic HPV genotype was detected in each of the samples provided at the baseline and follow-up visits. Genotyping was done using the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Array (MEGA) and imputation was done using the African Genome Resources Haplotype Reference Panel. Association analysis was done under additive genetic models adjusted for age, HIV status and the first principal component (PC) of the genotypes. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the study participants was 38 (±8) years, 48% were HIV negative, 24% were hrHPV positive and 10% had persistent hrHPV infections. The top three variants associated with hrHPV infections were intronic variants clustered in KLF12 (all OR: 7.06, p=1.43 x 10-6). The top variants associated with cervical hrHPV persistence were in DAP(OR: 6.86, p=7.15 x 10-8), NR5A2(OR: 3.65, p=2.03 x 10-7) and MIR365-2(OR: 7.71, p=2.63 x 10-7) gene regions. Conclusions: This exploratory GWAS yielded novel candidate risk loci for cervical hrHPV infection and persistence. The identified loci have biological annotation and functional data supporting their role in hrHPV infection and persistence. Given our limited sample size, larger discovery and replication studies are warranted to further characterize the reported associations.
