The adequate nutrition in childhood has the main role in the physical, mental and emotional development of the child. Herein, the children are considered a prioritized part of the population that can be influenced by different intervention strategies (Deghan et al. 2005). It is of utmost importance to obtain the suitable nutrition to every child, and this is the main reason that causes most of the research on child nutrition to be conducted in the kindergartens. The analysis on the food intake and the type of food in the kindergarten can help us analyse the overall health of the children. Usually, in the process of food analysis we use various components such as the following: dietary intake, anthropometric measurements and biochemical testing. We have identified a few researches that have used the above mentioned components for assessment of the child’s nutrition that we mention in our paper as well.

The causes of SIDS are unknown, and there are no tests that predict which infants will die of SIDS. Home monitoring, while it may prevent death in some high-risk infant populations, has not altered the overall incidence of SIDS. Studies have identified several important risk factors, such as prematurity, low birth-weight, inadequate prenatal care, maternal smoking, maternal anemia, and poor socioeconomic conditions. Other recent studies have raised important questions about child care practices, such as infant sleeping position. Still others raise equally important questions about the role of neglect or intentional injury, which now must become the subject of proper scientific investigation. The possibility that underlying metabolic defects may account for a substantial proportion of cases has been raised but requires verification. A common thread is evident: There are risk factors, such as maternal smoking and infant sleeping position, that could be subject to preventive intervention strategies. Approximately 200 new articles are published on the topic of SIDS every year. The pediatrician must have the necessary perspective to incorporate these into the "big picture." Because the main role of the pediatrician involves support, advice, and counseling of parents of present SIDS victims and future siblings, a strong knowledge base is essential. The pediatrician also can serve as an advocate for future children by insisting [See table in the PDF file] on the full and proper investigation of every SIDS case. Although we will never eliminate sudden unexplained death during childhood, we can at least hope, through better diagnosis of treatable conditions and improved preventive intervention strategies, to whittle away this diagnosis of exclusion to its minimum possible incidence.

Background: The main environment for children is the family. The child's personality can be supported through the main role of the family. the family also has a role in monitoring and providing supervision of children's growth and development, so that if this role is inadequate then the child's growth and development will not be monitored properly and disturbances that can occur cannot be identified and overcome early on. COVID-19, of course, requires the role of the family to fulfill health needs, fulfill adequate nutrition, and provide proper care. Methods: The assistance provided by the researcher is providing counseling and practice on evaluating the stimulation practices that have been carried out, providing feedbacks, and teaching stimulation practices for those aged above. Stimulation of Early Intervention Detection of Child Development is an activity to stimulate the basic abilities of children aged 0-6 years so that children grow and develop optimally, as well as to find deviations early to make intervention easier. Results: Through PKM activities, children's growth and development, the worst conditions of child growth deviations such as malnutrition can be prevented, because before a child falls into a condition of malnutrition, growth deviations that occur in children can be detected through PKM activities. Conclusion: Addition to preventing growth irregularities, this activity also prevents developmental deviations and mental-emotional deviations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Spectrin is a membrane associated protein most of which properties have been tentatively elucidated. A main role of the protein has been assumed to give a supporting structure to inside of the membrane. As reported previously, however, the isolated spectrin molecule underwent self assemble to form such as fibrous, meshwork, dispersed or aggregated arrangements depending upon the buffer suspended and was suggested to play an active role in the membrane conformational changes. In this study, the role of spectrin and actin was examined in terms of the molecular arrangements on the erythrocyte membrane surface with correlation to the functional states of the ghosts.Human erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from either freshly drawn or stocked bank blood by the method of Dodge et al with a slight modification as described before. Anti-spectrin antibody was raised against rabbit by injection of purified spectrin and partially purified.

Besides stomata, the photosynthetic CO2 pathway also involves the transport of CO2 from the sub-stomatal air spaces inside to the carboxylation sites in the chloroplast stroma, where Rubisco is located. This pathway is far to be a simple and direct way, formed by series of consecutive barriers that the CO2 should cross to be finally assimilated in photosynthesis, known as the mesophyll conductance (gm). Therefore, the gm reflects the pathway through different air, water and biophysical barriers within the leaf tissues and cell structures. Currently, it is known that gm can impose the same level of limitation (or even higher depending of the conditions) to photosynthesis than the wider known stomata or biochemistry. In this mini-review, we are focused on each of the gm determinants to summarize the current knowledge on the mechanisms driving gm from anatomical to metabolic and biochemical perspectives. Special attention deserve the latest studies demonstrating the importance of the molecular mechanisms driving anatomical traits as cell wall and the chloroplast surface exposed to the mesophyll airspaces (Sc/S) that significantly constrain gm. However, even considering these recent discoveries, still is poorly understood the mechanisms about signaling pathways linking the environment a/biotic stressors with gm responses. Thus, considering the main role of gm as a major driver of the CO2 availability at the carboxylation sites, future studies into these aspects will help us to understand photosynthesis responses in a global change framework.

SummarySports photography undoubtedly has a significant place in sports press and publicism. It’s main and primary role is to present sports to the readers as art, which it is. Sport is characterized by dynamic and varied movements, and the main role of sports photography is reflected in the fact that it is in this way that sport shows its essence. Having in mind that photography tells more than a thousand words it sends a clear message to the reader as well to people who are informed about events via sports portals. Sports photography is a multidimensional art for many reasons. When we say “multi”, it primarily refers to a wider range that sports photography has to offer, which means sports photography is not only directed at presenting athletes on the move and the main actors who contribute to achieving the results by their engagement – it also has the role of sports “psychophotography” which is an analysis and capture of the emotional reaction of an athlete after winning or losing from the opposing team.

Subject. The article addresses problems and prospects for the banking supervision development in the Russian Federation under modern conditions. Objectives. We review the essence and methods of organization of the banking supervision, and identify the main problems and prospects for its development. Methods. To provide valid, reliable and reasoned recommendations, we apply normative and integrated approaches to the study of the banking supervision effectiveness in the current circumstances. Results. The paper investigates main problems and development prospects for the Russian banking supervision. The essential importance of supervision comes from the main role of the banking system in maintaining accounts of economic entities and making settlements. Even minor failures or delays in operations can lead to negative outcomes and disastrous consequences for the entire monetary system and the national economy. Therefore, we highlight issues that require attention, and make proposals for further development of the banking supervision. Conclusions. In the context of dynamically developing economy, the banking practice is becoming more complex. As a result, there is a need for new financial instruments that can reduce risks, increase the speed and efficiency of operations and document flow, and help achieve the world levels of introduced standards.
