Content available remote Measurement of temporal-order judgment in children
100%
EN
Abnormal auditory temporal processing might be an underlying deficit in language disabilities. The auditory temporal-order threshold, one measure for temporal processing abilities, is defined as the shortest time interval between two acoustic events necessary for a person to be able to identify the correct temporal order. In our study, we examined the reliability of the auditory temporal-order threshold during a one-week period and over a time interval of four months in normally developing children aged 5 to 11 years. The results of our method show that children younger than 7 years have difficulties performing the task successfully. The reliability of the assessment of the temporal-order threshold during a period of one week is only moderate, and its stability over a time interval of four months is low. The results show that auditory-order thresholds in children have to be treated with caution. A high temporal-order threshold does not necessarily predict disabilities in temporal processing.

The percentage of successful collections of alimony for children in Poland is very low. This serious problem can raise the question: What can the Church do, using its own legal means, to help increase the fulfillment of court-ordered provisions for children? Answering the question, the article discusses the bans on marriage. The fist is a ban of assisting, without the permission of the local Ordinary, at marriage of a person for whom a previous union has created natural obligations towards children (can. 1071 § 1). The second is a prohibition of entering marriage imposed by the local Ordinary in a specific case for a time, for a grave reason and while that reason persists (can. 1077 § 1). There is also in the paper a presentation of alimony in Polish state law and a supplement that treats about a prohibition of marriage appended to the judgement by the tribunal in annulment case (can. 1684 § 1).

Perceptions of social support were studied in 67 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia remission. The narrative technique was used and the results were compared with a matched control group. Only half of the children (49%) perceived social support (control group - 88%, p<0.001). Less than one-third (29%) of children perceiving social support expected it to be in the form of physical proximity, verbal and nonverbal tenderness (control group - 68%, p<0.01). This exploratory study provides suggesting direction for further study. It is necessary to continue research to assess social support in the form of tenderness and physical contact reference to children who survived cancer.

Can we give a simple answer to the question which segment of book is more important? Is it its visual appearance or its textual content? Some people surely can. Readers, though, see it differently. They see book as a whole, so it should be seen as a whole even in the process of its creation. In the model situation the artist and the author of the text would have the same artistic intention, or even better, they would be one person. A question of form and content of a book is widely explored in the phenomenon of artist’s book. It is usually made by a single author who presents through it his or her artistic self or comments on certain aspect of objective reality. The artist’s book has already entered the realm of children’s book, with all its specificity. The artist’s book for children could, thus, lead to a better interaction between author and percipient. Attempts of such kind can be found in our book market under the name of so called collector’s books.

The author deals with aesthetic quality „children’s aspect of expression”. She focuses on its characteristic from the point of view of musical creator. She enumerates specification of music for children and at the same time she suggests, what picture of child in art brings and represents. She thinks about artistic value of children creation. She confronts experiences from reflection of musical work with ideas of scientists, pedagogues, and artists.

One of the most important developmental contexts for children is their experiences with their peers. For younger children (middle childhood) it is mostly peer context in school settings, while young children spend most of their time either at home, or with their classmates at school. In the classroom children acquire wide range of skills, experiences, attitudes and relationships that influence their adaptation in later life. As children grow experiences with their peers and mainly relations with their peers become increasingly complex. In this paper we focus on the formation of groups and relations in classroom and on the development of socio-metric status among peers. We also summarize main characteristics of social networks and social network analysis.

This article presents the findings of a qualitative research project which aimed to map the political evaluations and the social effects of the changing concept of family and the changing forms of family life. By interviewing political and economic decision-makers we intended to highlight the goals and the motives of the different family policy approaches, the characteristic features of the family concepts reflected by the policy-makers' decisions, as well as the relationship between state family policies and labor market policies on the one hand, and equal treatment expectations concerning both genders, on the other. On the basis of interviews conducted with ordinary people we examined how much people's lives are practically influenced by the family policy measures introduced by the political and the economic decision makers. According to our findings the two different categories of respondents saw specific family policy issues in different ways - their interpretations of family policy as a whole, however, were rather convergent. The importance of providing equal opportunities for men and women, increasing the female employment rate, acknowledging the plurality of family lifestyles, reconciling work and family life - being European expectations as well as conditions of a satisfactory life - seemed to be overshadowed by the demographic issues of fertility and procreation.

The article reflects various social-cultural contexts of social projection of child. Based on everyday visual culture it points to the changes of collective consciousness of child. Present-day 'disneyfication' leads towards specific social phenomena as for example 'The paradoxon of friendly adultism', which is related to certain risks in upbringing and relationships. The paradox emphasizes the difference between the status of children in contemporary collective sense and their real possibilities of development.

The assumption in this research project was that children in the context of their social group form their own rules and hierarchy, and that precisely this hierarchy in the children´s group has the greatest influence on the character and content of the ideas about social groups which are disseminated among children. Fieldwork has confirmed that children´s knowledge is influenced most of all by the structure of the children´s peer group. Apart from cognitive reasons (it is easier to learn from a similar mind) there are also social reasons- children are very social and for them it is important to be a part of the group where they feel comfortable and which they understand.

the frequency of HLA-DR antigens was studies in 54 patients with mumps meningitis, and in two control groups. The first control group comprised 333 rondomely chosen subjects while the second group was composed of 46 subjects who have passed mumps without meningitis. The DR5 antigen was more frequent in patients than in the second control group with relative risk of 2,4 and significance at the level of p smaller than 0.05. The p value became insignificant after the correction for the number of antigens investigated.

The article is devoted to an examination of the ways in which particular pop culture artefacts (works of popular culture) can be used in the educational process, in accordance with the particularities that reflect the external differentiation of groups educated in certain ways (pre-school age, younger students, older students, adolescents). The initial premise is that we can intentionally use pop culture artefacts to evoke authentic experiences in the educational process. The inter-textual nature of pop culture artefacts means that the potential recipient is able to read the full significance only when equipped with a certain amount of knowledge, which is not immediately present in the artefact, but that the viewer is aware of due to existing schemata.

This article aims to present an empirical investigation of six- to seven-year-old children’s free word associations in Slovak. The empirical data analysed in this article were collected via lexical decision task, a method used within the qualitative research design. The data analysis indicates the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift in children’s word associations to stimulus nouns. In syntagmatic response to stimulus noun, the children produce either free verbal sequences or defining characteristics of a stimulus word (activity characteristics and descriptive attributes). In paradigmatic response to stimulus noun, the children produce semantically diverse associations, mostly in the following semantic categories: location or local proximity, inclusive parts, more distant meaning, word-formation paradigm, and coordinates. Despite the research limitations, the present results are consistent with the previous research findings in the field of children’s word associations in both Slovak and other languages.

The aim of the study is to determine whether serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 correlate with indices of bone mineral metabolism in children with idiopathic osteoporosis and osteopenia. The study comprised 62 patients aged 6?18 years (20 with idiopathic osteoporosis, 22 with idiopathic osteopenia, and 20 controls). In 10 children, investigations were repeated after one year of treatment. Serum concentrations of IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), as well as IL-6 and its soluble receptor (IL-6sR) were determined by the ELISA method. In patients with decreased bone mass, selected calcium-phosphorus metabolism indices and bone turnover markers were assessed. Higher values of IL-6 were recorded in those with idiopathic osteoporosis than in controls (2.79 vs. 1.43; p<0.05). In these patients there was also a tendency towards higher values of IL-6sR (p=0.05). IL-1alpha and IL-1beta were not markedly elevated in any of the patients. No significant differences between groups regarding IL-1ra were observed. Negative correlation between IL-6, IL-1alpha, cytokine/receptor indices, and spinal bone mineral density was determined. Positive correlation was found between IL-?, IL-1/IL-1ra, and parathormon as well as between IL-1?, IL-6sR, and bone formation markers. Increase in bone mass after treatment was accompanied by a decrease in IL-6sR. The higher serum levels of IL-6 in children with idiopathic osteoporosis/osteopenia and the decrease in IL-6sR after treatment reveal an involvement of IL-6 in the etiopathogenesis of these disturbances. The results suggest that IL-1 may also participate in the primary decrease of bone mass in children.

The issue of the educational system should be one of the main points in the discussion about the integration, assimilation of immigrants, and multicultural societies. Since the introduction of compulsory schooling, the school became one of the main instruments to integrate the young generation into a society and culture, to provide the most equal opportunities for individual development, to acquire knowledge, skills or professional qualifications. On the macro-level we are asking if the educational system works properly in the society as a whole. On the mezzo-level, the problems of local communities and individual schools are raised. Finally, on the micro-level, we consider the needs of individual pupils or classes, their educational opportunities, aspirations and motivations, but also their feeling of discrimination.

This study deals with the fairy-tale opera, Rozprávka o šťastnom konci [A Tale of a Happy End] (2019), of the Slovak composer Peter Zagar, commissioned by the Slovak National Theatre in Bratislava. Although this is Zagar’s only opera so far, the composer has ample experience in dramatic composition, as he has composed music for dramatic and ballet/dance productions and soundtracks for movies. The study discusses not only the dramaturgical structure and the music of the opera, and the specificities of its performance, but also points out the pitfalls of opera production for children and the importance of musical-intellectual education.

The paper deals with the concept of quality of life (QOL) among children and adolescents and the methodological issues connected with research on QOL. The authors' survey was completed by 581 respondents from the general population, aged between 8 - 15 years old. Their task was to describe the term 'quality of life' and to describe poor, average and outstanding ways of living using the examples of their friends and acquaintances. This survey is a response to the lack of research directed at how children themselves see the quality of their lives and it is a part of a research project mapping QOL among children and adolescents. Results show that the major QOL categories are quite constant across age and gender. Most of the respondents want the same: a good family, parental care, good or average school grades, good friends and a sufficient amount of money (in the family). Major gender and age differences appear among less frequent categories e.g., good clothes, freedom, sport, alcohol consumption or smoking.

Introduction: The role of CD4+ T cells in the immunopathogenesis of asthma is well documented. Little is known about the role of CD8+ T cells. The aim of this study was to assess peripheral blood subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing naive/memory markers (CD45RA+/RO+) and the activation marker (CD25+) in children with allergic asthma. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from children with allergic asthma and healthy children. T cell subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry for the expressions of CD45RA, CD45RO, and CD25. In this study, some differences in the memory compartment of peripheral blood T cells between asthmatic children and healthy controls were detected. Results: The absolute number of CD8+ T cells expressing CD45RO was significantly elevated and the percentages of CD3+ T cells expressing activation marker CD25 and of CD4+ T cells expressing memory marker CD45RO were significantly lower in children with asthma compared with controls. No correlation was found between severity of asthma and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets. Conclusions: There were some differences in the memory compartment of peripheral blood T cells between asthmatic children and healthy controls. The increase in the number of CD8+ T cells expressing the memory marker (CD45RO) in children with allergic asthma may indicate that CD8+ T cells play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

The levels of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-8, and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and IL-13 were studied in child patients with sepsis. The changes of the cytokines inhibitors soluble IL-6 receptor and soluble p75 TNF alpha receptor were also investigated in the patients' sera. An increase of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels was demonstrated at the time of diagnosis. Pharmacotherpy was accompanied by a decrease of the elevated concentrations of both cytokines and their inhibitors. The time pattern of changes in cytokine and cytokine inhibitor serum concentrations along with the time course of acute phase indices, including procalcitonin and C-reactive protein, allows for an evaluation of system inflammatory response and may support diagnostic and prognosis methods.

The literature for the children of Vojvodina Slovaks living in Serbia first received attention in year 1968, when it was prompted by magazine Nový život as a part of the Literárna porada discussion. Another of such discussions called Naša detská poézia po oslobodení /Our children´s poetry after the liberation/ took place in 1983, where children´s literature was seen as the most important line of the literary production written by Slovaks living in Serbia. Between 1996 and 2015 Slovak Vojvodina literature for children underwent development in all the forms (poetry, prose, drama) and genres. In addition, the professional reflection on children´s literature improved, too (Pavol Mučaji: Podľa duše dieťaťa /In Line with A Child´s Soul, 2005; Jarmila Hodoličová: Prehľad dejín slovenskej vojvodinskej prózy pre deti /A Concise History of Slovak-language Vojvodina Prose for Children, 2005).

Children's speech perception strategies, together with speech production, start developing from the very beginning of language acquisition. In the case of children exhibiting usual (normal) qualitative and quantitative changes, no dissociation is assumed between speaking and speech processing. However, observational data show that children's speech production may go on working properly for quite some time even if there is some hidden impairment in their speech processing abilities. This usually leads to learning difficulties and restricted cognitive operations. Little is known, furthermore, about the expected age-bound working of speech processing performance or indeed about the line of development and its characteristics. In a series of experiments, the authors have sought answers to a number of questions: (i) What level do the speech perception and comprehension processes under scrutiny reach between ages 4 and 9? (ii) What interrelationships do they exhibit? (iii) Exactly how can the fact of development be pinpointed? Test results of a total of 600 children (altogether over fifty thousand data) have been analysed with respect to speech perception and speech comprehension processes. The results have confirmed a particular cooperation among the individual perceptual processes: development can be accounted for in terms of a decrease of interconnections among various types of processing. The older the child is, the more pronounced the mutual independence of perceptual processes is, and that is what underlies the proper functioning of the whole mechanism.
