    The Development of Lesson Plans to Enable Diversity and Collaboration (II): Focusing on Ways to Elicit Unique Modes of Expression of Each Student

    Get PDF
    In this study, the authors aimed to develop lessons in which diversity and collaboration were ensured through children's cooperative involvement in a special class for students with intellectual disabilities. To bring out unique modes of expression for each student, the authors framed two practices and analyzed, as a lesson study, children's activities and the teacher's support in an unformulated communicative learning process. The authors found three key results. First, children's expressions deepen through a combination of both imitation and exploration, and collaboration emerged through this deepening process. Second, the pursuit of a teaching practice oriented toward diversity and collaboration contributes to the growth and development of both children and teachers, through discussing the learning environment, the teacher's actions, and the processes through which children explore their expressions. Third, children's motives for expression can be encouraged through intellectual curiosity and interest in musical instruments, the creation of an atmosphere where children can feel comfortable and the creation of positive relationships and a sense of partnership among the children and teacher. Their need for competence, then, can be stimulated by activities such as imitating each other's expression

    Widefield Choroidal Thickness of Eyes with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Examined by Swept-Source OCT

    PURPOSE: To examine widefield (WF) changes in the choroidal thickness of eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). DESIGN: An observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-two patients with treatment naïve unilateral CSC (20 men and two women) and 28 normal eyes of 28 age-matched healthy participants (21 men and seven women). METHODS: We performed enhanced depth imaging (EDI) of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) with a viewing angle of vertical 20 mm × horizontal 23 mm. Moreover, we developed a grid consisting of nine subfields, with diameters of 3 mm, 9 mm, and 18 mm; inner and outer rings enclosed by circles with diameters of 3 mm and 9 mm and 9 mm and 18 mm, respectively, which were divided into four superotemporal, inferotemporal, superonasal, and inferonasal subfields. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: WF changes in choroidal thickness. RESULTS: The mean duration from the presumed onset of CSC was 6.8 ± 3.1 months during the examination. Compared with normal eyes, the choroidal thickness of patients with CSC was significantly greater in all subfields (P<0.020 for fellow eyes; P<0.001 for eyes with CSC). Compared with fellow eyes, the choroidal thicknesses of eyes with CSC were significantly greater, except for the outer superotemporal and inferonasal subfields (P<0.001 for all inner subfields; and P<0.001 for outer superonasal and inferotemporal subfields). In areas with dilated vortex veins, choroidal thickening was observed from the vicinity of the vortex vein ampulla to the macula along the courses of the veins. Choroidal thickenings on the dominant side were significantly greater than those on the non-dominant side (P=0.015 for the nasal subfield of the inner ring; P=0.003 and <0.001 for temporal subfields of the inner and outer rings, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: EDI of SS-OCT imaging facilitated the analysis of WF changes in choroidal thickness not only in both controls and patients with CSC. Local factors of the affected vortex vein and systemic risk factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of CSC

    Intra-Abdominal Bleeding during Pregnancy, Preterm Delivery, and Placental Polyp in a Long-Term Survivor of Neuroblastoma: A Case Report

    Get PDF
    Background. There are few reports of pregnancies in long-term survivors of pelvic neuroblastoma. Case. A 30-year-old Japanese woman with a history of pelvic neuroblastoma in her childhood, which was treated with surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation. Her pregnancy continued with conservative management, but she delivered a 510 g female infant at 23 weeks of gestation due to sudden onset of labor pain. She also had a placental polyp and developed massive postpartum bleeding. Conclusion. Cancer treatment, especially radiation therapy, in childhood may cause adverse outcomes during pregnancy in long-term survivors of neuroblastoma

    The Development of Lesson Plans to Enable Diversity and Authentic Learning using Music and Body Movement

    In this study, the authors aimed to develop lessons in which diversity, collaboration , and authentic learning are ensured through children’s cooperative involvement in a special class for students with intellectual disabilities. The authors framed three practices and analyzed children’s activities and the teachers’ environment setting , including music and body movements. The authors found three key results. First, the ability to recognize the diversity of body movements and expression in different contexts was improved in the practices which caused authentic learning. Second, collaborativeness promote s and nurture s cooperation (sharing roles) when children and teachers work together to achieve collaboration (creation by synergistic effect), finally realizing authentic learning. Third, music and body movements have the power to communicate what words are often unable to-the ability to make others feel that they are wanted and valued. Music and body movements served as the medium and catalyst for deepening authentic dialog

    The association between upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings and internal radiation exposure in residents living in areas affected by the Chernobyl nuclear accident

    Many people living around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) have been exposed to 137Cs for several decades after the CNPP accident. Although half-life of 137Cs is about 30 years, some wild forest foodstuffs are contaminated by 137Cs even now. We pointed out in a previous report that low-dose internal radiation has been occasionally detected in people’s body. Moreover, some doctors in local hospitals have claimed that internal exposure from contaminated foodstuffs may affect the digestive organs and possibly cause gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Thus, we attempt to assess whether internal radiation exposure affects digestive organs or not, and the possible factors that influence digestive organs. Overall, 1,612 residents were assessed for internal 137Cs concentration using Whole-Body Counter and their digestive organs were screened with upper GI endoscopy from 2016–2018 in the Zhytomyr region, Ukraine. All participants answered to the questionnaire including their background, intake of wild forest foodstuff, intake frequency, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. We checked the number of upper GI endoscopic diagnosis per person to assess the extent of damage to the upper digestive organs. Next, we statistically analyzed associations between this number and age, sex, level of internal exposure dose, alcohol consumption, wild forest foodstuff intake, and smoking. Consequently, we revealed that the number of GI diagnosis is significantly increased by factors such as sex, intake of wild forest foodstuff, and alcohol consumption. However, the average level of internal exposure of 137Cs and smoking did not relate to the number of GI diagnosis. Thus, the results of multiple regression revealed that alcohol consumption is independently related to the number of GI diagnosis that is most likely accompanied by the intake of wild forest foodstuff. In conclusion, the low-dose internal exposure may not affect the digestive organs of residents living around CNPP
