The Impact of Motor Education when Uttering Personal Demands (the Od Factor)

AbstractProblem StatementA subject apparently “marginal of pedagogical psychology” (Horst H.S.p.199), but also of motor education, the impact of motor education on the development of self and the utterance of claims (the Od factor abbreviated) was approached from our desire of bringing new indicators regarding a widely debated phenomenon – self-security.Purpose of StudyThis research started from the hypothesis according to which students who have a maximum frequency – 28 modules – at Physical Education lessons, and are active participants at sport games have no issues with their security. Moreover, they have the ability of uttering claims and fight for their materialisation in time, while absent students are reserved with their claims and desires, considering the others as aggressive and offensive, when they themselves disappoint by reacting aggressively. The group of subjects was made from 86 students (boys and girls), enrolled in the same institution and having similar interests.Research MethodsThe bibliographic study methods; the observation method; the enquiry method (questionnaire, discussion etc.); the pedagogical experiment method; the statistical-mathematical method; the observation method; the graphical method. Findings: Through this study, we aim to emphasise that Physical Education classes must be part of the school and university syllabus, representing a national priority, a working method and an important instrument for defining one's self, uttering claims and increasing one's self-security.ConclusionsBy participating frequently at motor activities in the university syllabus, students gain the endurance of not becoming slaves of their first impulse, learn to utter their own claims, and to fight in order to gain them. In the absence of motor education, emotional modifications interfere in the process of self development, self-security and uttering one's claims, with negative repercussions in the future for the evolution of values

Lexical Association (La Scale) and its Connection With Performing Sports in Childhood

AbstractProblem Statement: Creative personality is promoted in syllabus for all schools and activities, representing a step forward for science, with the purpose of opening new perspectives for future generations. Thus, we have to open new perspectives for youngsters, firstly by educating parents to take their children to sports clubs, and to give them a chance to avoid a sedenta ry life in front of computers. Nonetheless, computers help the process of their development, in spite of the fact that they block abilities which download information in their brains, as natural situations created in sports games and the art of reading are not solvable by pushing a button, but they need imagination, creativity, information update, and, moreover, they activate emotions, states, feelings which no other machine can produce. These feelings and emotions are factors that trigger the mechanism of lexical assosiation. Purpose of Study: This research started from the hypothesis according to which the capacity of lexical association is much more developed for individuals who perfomed sports in childhood, as compared to those who are part of the same group, but did not perform sports games in childhood. The research was undertaken on two groups: a group of 10 students who performed sports games (boys and girls), and another group represented by 17 students (boys and girls), who did not perform sports games. Research Methods: Bibliographic study method; observation method; investigation method (conversation, lexical association – LA scale, etc.); pedagogical experiment method; statistical-mathematic method; graphical method. Findings: The purpose of this research is to observe whether significant changes appear or not, regarding the intellectual-motric development, mirrored through the capacity and speed with which students realise lexical associations, for the two groups. Conclusions: As a conseqence, the game strategy combined with reading activities would appear to be the main strategy of knowledge, which trigger the mechanism of lexical associations in a slow and sure manner

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PRIMING TREATMENTS ON SEEDS GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLINGS GROWTH OF TOMATO

Germination is one of the main stages of a plant's life cycle. Since seed hydration by imbibition is a prerequisite for germination, seed priming techniques provide not only water that is absolutely necessary for the initiation of processes related to strict germination, but also additional physiologically effects due to the qualitative and quantitative composition of the solution used. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of some priming treatments (Hidropriming, ASFAC and Diatomaceous earth) on seeds germination and vigour of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings. The effects of treatments have been differentiated in terms of germination process characteristics and / or early seedlings growth, in close interdependence with the concentration of the substance used and especially in relation with the effects of their chemical nature on physiological and biochemical processes. Tomato seeds priming with ASFAC 0.5% assures some benefits on germination efficiency and early seedling vigour. Priming with diatomite may improve seedling growth, in a concentration dependent manner. We appreciate the need to further studies to investigate more varieties, more treatments times and a wider range of concentrations

Epidemiological and clinical aspects of juvenile periodontitis in the Republic of Moldova

Rezumat Parodontita juvenilă reprezintă afecţiunea parodonţiului întâlnită la adolescenţi începînd cu vârsta prepubertară, caracterizată prin distrucţia osului alveolar la mai mulţi dinţi concomitant din dentiţia permanentă. În rezultatul numeroaselor cercetări efectuate în diverse regiuni ale lumii, pe loturi de pacienţi cu vârsta între 13–16 ani, se constată o variaţia topografică considerabilă: în Europa prevalenţa este de la 0,1% pînă la 0,2%, pe cînd în SUA este de la 1% pînă la 10%. Conform acestor date se poate concluziona că prevalenţa parodontitei juvenile în rândul populaţiei tinere nu atinge valori îngrijorătoare, dar merită tot interesul specialiștilor din domeniu de a continua studiile. Manifestările și evoluţia bolii parodontale variază pentru fiecare formă în parte, dar se deosebesc prin cel mai specific symptom — lipsa inflamaţiei gingivale la nivelul pungilor gingivale adânci. Scopul acestei lucrări a fost determinarea frecvenţei și intensităţii afecţiunilor parodonţiului la adolescenţii de 12 și 15 ani din Republica Moldova, precum și studierea etiologiei, patogeniei, prevalenţei, tabloului clinic, metodelor de diagnostic și tratament ale parodontitei juvenile. Material și metode: Cercetarea știinţifică actuală este un studiu epidemiologic integral– descriptiv și selectiv — demonstrativ, care are drept scop identificarea subiecţilor privind afecţiunile parodontale la copii. Metodele de cercetare aplicate în studio au fost: metoda istorico–bibliografică, metoda clinică, metoda matematico–statistică și metoda de analiză comparativă și sinteză. Rezultate: Un lot format din 720 de participanţi, dintre care 365 adolescenţi de 12 ani și 355 de 15 ani au fost examinaţi parodontal. Repartiţia pe sexe a fost aproximativ egală: 351 de sex feminin, ceea ce reprezintă 48,7% și 369 de sex masculin ce constituie 51,2%. Majoritatea subiecţilor sunt locuitori urbani– 490 de adolescenţi care au constituit 68% și 230 care provin din mediul rural, reprezentând 31,9%. Placa dentară a fost depistată la 54,6% de copii de 15 ani și la 60,3% din numărul total de copii examinaţi. Tartrul dentar a fost depistat la 18% de copii de 15 ani și la 22,7% de copii de 12 ani. Sângerarea la sondarea a fost depistată în18,6% cazuri la subiecţii de 15 ani și în 10,7% la subiecţii de 12 ani. Adâncimea pungii parodontale a fost depistată la 5% dintre copii examinaţi de 15ani. Concluzie: Frecvenţa PJ la copiii de 15 ani este 20,1%, intensitatea afecţiunilor parodonţiului este de 52,4% pentru fete și 40,7% pentru băieţi. La copiii din localităţile rurale intensitatea afecţiunilor parodonţiului a fost mai mare–57,1%,pe când la cei din localităţile urbane intensitatea a fost de 42,2%.Summary Juvenile periodontitis is the condition of the periodontium encountered in adolescents beginning with the prepubertal age, characterized by the destruction of the alveolar bone in several permanent teeth at the same time. As a result of numerous researches carried out in different regions of the world, on groups of patients aged between 13–16 years, a variable prevalence of juvenile periodontitis is being determined: in Europe the prevalence is between 0.1% and 0.2%, while in the US it is from 1% to 10%. According to these data, it can be concluded that the prevalence of juvenile periodontitis among the young population does not reach worrying values, but it is a matter of interest of the specialists in the field of dentistry to continue their studies. The most specific symptom of juvenile periodontitis is the lack of gingival inflammation combined with deep gingival pockets. The purpose of the paper was to determine the frequency and intensity of periodontal disease in 12 and 15–year–old teenagers in the Republic of Moldova, as well as to study the etiology, pathogenesis, prevalence, clinical features, methods of diagnosis and treatment of juvenile periodontitis. Material and Methods: The current scientific research is a descriptive and selective– demonstrative epidemiological study, which aims to identify periodontal disease among children. The research methods applied in the study were: historical– bibliographic method, clinical method, mathematical and statistical method, comparative analysis and synthesis. Results: The study was performed on 720 participants, of which 365, 12–year–old and 355, 15–year–old adolescents who were subjected to periodontal examination. The gender distribution was approximately equal: 351 female subjects, representing 48.7% and 369 male subjects, representing 51.2%. Most subjects are urban residents — 490 teenagers, representing 68% and 230 from rural areas, representing 31.9%. Dental plaque was found in 54.6% among 15–year–old teenagers, and 60.3% of the total number of subjects examined. Dental tartar has been detected in 18% of 15–year–old teenagers, and 22.7% of 12–year– old subjects. Bleeding on probing was detected in 18.6% of cases among 15–year–old subjects, and 10.7% among 12–year–old subjects. The depth of periodontal pockets was found in 5% of 15–year–old teenagers examined. Conclusion: The frequency of periodontal disease in teenagers aged 15 years is 20.1%, the intensity of periodontal disease being 52.4% among girls, and 40.7% among boys. In children in rural areas, the intensity of periodontal disease was higher — 57.1%, while in urban areas — 42.2%

Antenatal diagnosis of congenital abdominal wall malformations, a "normality"

Universitatea de Medicină şi Farmacie „Grigore T. Popa”, Facultatea de Medicină, Departamentul „Chirurgicale II”, Disciplina Chirurgie şi Ortopedie Pediatrică, Spitalul Clinic de Urgenţe pentru Copii “Sfânta Maria” Iaşi, România, Al XIII-lea Congres al Asociației Chirurgilor „Nicolae Anestiadi” și al III-lea Congres al Societății de Endoscopie, Chirurgie miniminvazivă și Ultrasonografie ”V.M.Guțu” din Republica MoldovaMedicina materno-fetală a devenit în ultimele decenii o parte importantă a sistemului de îngrijiri medicale. Dezvoltarea rapidă a tehnologiilor ultrasonografice a permis acumularea de informaţii preţioase asupra evoluţiei normale sau patologice a dezvoltării intrauterine a fătului, astfel încât depistarea antenatală a malformaţiilor congenitale a devenit o regulă şi nu o excepţie. În paralel cu creşterea frecvenţei în timp a anomaliilor de perete abdominal anterior se observă şi creşterea ratei de diagnostic antenatal. Datorită riscului crescut al asocierii defectelor de perete abdominal anterior cu anomalii cromozomiale sau cu alte malformaţii congenitale grave, diagnosticarea antenatală a acestor anomalii este de o importanţă crucială pentru prognosticul fetal şi consilierea familială. Astfel, detectarea antenatală a malformaţiilor congenitale grave oferă părinţilor posibilitatea să se pregătească din punct de vedere psihologic pentru apariţia unui copil cu handicap şi să planifice naşterea în cadrul unui centru medical dotat cu serviciu de terapie intensivă şi chirurgie neonatală. În condiţiile asocierii unor anomalii severe detectate antenatal, precum trisomiile 13 şi 18, pentalogia Cantrell, extrofia cloacală sau sindromul prune belly, părinţii pot lua în consideraţie şi posibilitatea efectuării unui avort terapeutic. La momentul actual, screening-ul biochimic al serului matern împreună cu ecografia antenatală sunt metodele standard de realizare a diagnosticului antenatal al defectelor de perete abdominal anterior, dar în situaţii particulare se poate recurge la investigaţii invazive, ecografie tridimensională, patru-dimensională sau RMN fetal, metode de diagnostic mult mai fiabile.Maternal-fetal medicine has become an important part of the healthcare system over the past decades. The rapid development of ultrasound technologies has allowed the accumulation of valuable information on the normal or pathological evolution of the intrauterine development of the fetus, so the antenatal detection of congenital malformations has become a rule and not an exception. In parallel with the increase in the frequency of abdominal wall abnormalities in time, an increase in the antenatal diagnostic rate is also observed. Due to the increased risk of association of anterior abdominal wall defects with chromosomal abnormalities or other severe congenital malformations, the antenatal diagnosis of these anomalies is of crucial importance for fetal prognosis and family counseling. Thus, antenatal detection of serious congenital malformations gives parents the opportunity to prepare themselves psychologically for the appearance of a disabled child and plan birth at a medical center with intensive unit care and neonatal surgery. Given the association of severe antenatal anomalies such as trisomy 13 and 18, Cantrell pentalogy, cloacal extrophy or prune belly syndrome, parents may also consider the possibility of a therapeutic abortion. At present, biochemical screening of maternal serum combined with antenatal ultrasound is the standard method of performing the antenatal diagnosis of anterior abdominal wall defects, but in particular situations, invasive investigations, three-dimensional, four-dimensional or fetal MRI as more reliable diagnostic methods, can be used
