Movement cognition and narration of the emotions treatment versus standard speech therapy in the treatment of children with borderline intellectual functioning: A randomized controlled trial
No full textBackground: Borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) is defined as a "health meta-condition... characterized by various cognitive dysfunctions associated with an intellectual quotient (IQ) between 71 and 85 which determines a deficit in the individual's functioning both in the restriction of activities and in the limitation of social participation". It can be caused by many factors, including a disadvantaged background and prematurity. BIF affects 7-12% of primary school children that show academic difficulties due to poor executive functioning. In many children with BIF, language, movement and social abilities are also affected, making it difficult to take part in daily activities. Dropping out of school and psychological afflictions such as anxiety and depression are common in children with BIF. This study investigates whether an intensive rehabilitation program that involves all of the areas affected in children with BIF (Movement, Cognition and Narration of emotions, MCNT) is more effective than Standard Speech Therapy (SST). Methods: This is a multicenter interventional single blind randomized controlled study. Children aged between 6 to 11years who attend a mainstream primary school and have multiple learning difficulties, behavioral problems and an IQ ranging between 85 to 70 have been enrolled. Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups. The first group receives individual treatment with SST for 45min, twice a week for 9months. The second group receives the experimental treatment MCNT for 3h per day, 5days/ week for 9months and children work in small groups. The third group consists of children on a waiting list for the SST for nine months. Discussion: BIF is a very frequent condition with no ad hoc treatment. Over the long term, there is a high risk to develop psychiatric disorders in adulthood. Due to its high social impact, we consider it very important to intervene during childhood so as to intercept the remarkable plasticity of the developing brain.

Role of humic acids in the TiO(2)-photocatalyzed degradation of tetrachloroethene in water
No full textThe effect of humic acids on the TiO(2)-mediated photocatalytic degradation of tetrachloroethene (PCE) was kinetically investigated at different pH and initial substrate concentrations. The pro cess occurs through two parallel paths: a major oxidative route leading to mineralization and a reductive route leading to the formation of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA), also undergoing photodegradation. The rate of PCE decomposition was found to decrease in the presence of humic acids adsorbed on the semiconductor surface, while the concentration of the intermediate dichloroacetic acid increased. This is a consequence of the scavenging action bf humic acids toward photoproduced surface oxidant species, which makes conduction band electrons more easily available for interface reactions. Kinetic studies on the effect of humic acids in the TiO(2)-mediated photodegradation of dichloroacetic acid showed that the progressively greater accumulation of this highly toxic intermediate, observed with increasing humic acids content, was a consequence of both an increase in the rate of its production from PCE and a decrease in the rate of its oxidative photodegradation.

Rehabilitation and Disability Spectrum From Adverse Childhood Experience: The Impact of the Movement Cognition and Narration of Emotions Treatment (MCNT) Version 2.0
No full textAdverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) are associated with an increased risk of cerebral, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes, and vulnerability to develop a Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF). BIF is characterized by an intelligence quotient (IQ) in the range 70–85, poor executive functioning, difficulties in emotion processing, and motor competencies. All these difficulties can lead to mental and/or neurodevelopmental disorders that require long-term care. Accordingly, we developed an intensive and multidomain rehabilitation program for children with ACE and BIF, termed the Movement Cognition and Narration of emotions Treatment (MCNT1.0). The efficacy of MCNT1.0 on cognitive and social functioning was demonstrated with a previously reported randomized controlled trial (RCT). To extend the impact of the treatment also to the motor domain a new version, called MCNT2.0, was implemented. The present study aims to verify the feasibility of MCNT2.0 and its effects on the motor domain. A quasi-experimental approach was used in which a group of 18 children with ACE and BIF were consecutively recruited and participated in the MCNT 2.0 program. Participants were compared with the MCNT1.0 group as an active comparator, using the dataset of the RCT. The two groups received a full evaluation comprising: the Wechsler Intelligent Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV), the Movement-ABC (M-ABC), the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD), the Social Skills from Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale-II (VABS-II) and the Child Behavior Check List 6–18 (CBCL). An ANCOVA was carried out on changes in the scale scores from baseline with age and baseline score as covariates. Results showed a mean adherence to treatment of 0.85 (sd = 0.07), with no differences between groups in IQ, and Social Skills changes, while greater improvements for motor abilities were shown in the MCNT 2.0 group: M-ABC (p = 0.002), and TGMD (p = 0.002). Finally, greater improvement in the CBCL scale was observed in the MCNT 1.0 group (p = 0.002). Results indicate that due to its positive effects on cognitive, social participation and motor domains, MCNT2.0 may represent a protective factor against maladaptive outcomes of children with ACE and BIF
Investigation of a 100 μm Magnetic Wire for Temperature Sensing based on a Time Domain Readout
No full textIn this paper we present an analysis of temperature response of a 100 μm hysteretic wire exploiting a time domain readout. The ferromagnetic wire is composed of 80% Co-Fe, 20% Si, B. The study here conducted investigates the effect of temperature in the microwire with an output measured as time response, which represents an intriguing method to convert the target quantity. The experiments have been accomplished by using a MuMetal® electromagnetic shield with controlled temperature and an acquisition system to process the output. Results here reported evince the suitability of the proposed method which arouses interest for several interesting applications
Exploitation of Temperature Effect in 100 μm Ferromagnetic Wire
No full textIn this paper we present a characterization of a ferromagnetic microwire having a diameter of about 100 μm and a composition of CoFeSiB as 80% Co-Fe, 20% Si, B. We experimentally analyze the influence of the temperature and excitation frequencies on the hysteresis loop of the material. In particular, results and discussion about how the temperature can affect the magnetic characteristic of the material are provided. All measurements have been performed under controlled conditions. A suitable setup has been conceived, realized and an experimental campaign with the characterization of the microwire has been accomplished obtaining very promising results
