Middle East Research Ethics Training Initiative: A Program to Enhance Research Ethics Capacity in the Middle East
No full textImmunological Assessment of β-thalassemic Major Children Aged 5-12 Years Old Attending Abd El-Aziz El-Rantisy Hospital in Gaza strip
No full textBackground: Beta-thalassemia major patients suffer from many problems rather than severe anemia. Immune abnormalities have been suggested as a precipitating factor for the fourth most common cause of death in β-thalassemia. These abnormalities have been attributed both to the disease itself and to the applied therapeutic intervention. Objective: to assess some immunological parameters in children aged 5-12 years old with β-Thalassemia major inGaza Strip. Materials and methods: this case-control study comprised 43 β-thalassemic major children aged 5-12 years old attending Abd El-Aziz El-Rantisy hospital and 43 healthy children served as controls. Cases and controls were matched for age and sex. Blood samples were collected by a well-trained nurse from thalassemic children just before a scheduled transfusion of packed red blood cells and also from controls. Complete blood count (CBC) was done in the same day of collection. Serum levels of interleukin-1-β (IL-1-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) cytokines, immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM, complements C3,C4, ferritin and C-reactive protein(CRP) were determined. Results: the average age of the study population was 7.9±2.2 years. Most patients 29 (67.4%) had allergic reactions. Discharge of desferrioxamine was intramuscular in 25 (58.1%) patients and subcutaneous in 17 (39.5%) patients, one patient (2.3%) refused iron chelation therapy. In general primary and secondary blood indices were significantly decreased in thalassemic children compared to controls. The total white blood cell (WBCs) and lymphocytes (LYMP) were significantly increased in patients compared to controls (8.9±2.1 V.s 7.9±2.0 X103cell/μl, p=0.025 and 3.6±0.9 V.s 3.1±0.79 X103cell/μl, p=0.003, respectively). WBCs and LYMP significantly decreased with allergic reactions (8.5±2.2 V.s 9.9±1.6 X103cell/μl, p=0.042 and 3.4±0.9 V.s 4.0±0.9 X103cell/μl, p=0.050, respectively). Ferritin level in patients was markedly higher than in controls (3138.0±1041.5 V.s 17.3±2.5 ng/ml, p=0.000). Ferritin level showed positive association with age and allergic reaction. Complements 3 and 4 reduced significantly in thalessemic children (118.7±12.4 V.s 136.6 ±23.3 mg/dL, p=0.000 and 49.3±13.4 V.s 62.3±21.6 mg/dL, p=0.001, respectively), regardless of allergic reaction, age, ferritin level and CRP. IgM and IgA were within the normal levels compared to control. However lower level of IgG was found in patients. Higher levels of IgG, IgM and IgA were found with increasing age and in positive CRP patients (p<0.05). On the other hand, immunoglobulins neither had a relation with ferritin nor with allergic reactions. Cytokines were normal that they almost showed undetected levels in controls and patients (TNF-α: 56.1 and 97.7%, IL-6: 95% and 88.4%, and IL-I-β: 100% for both controls and patients). C-reactive protein status didn’t differ significantly between controls and cases
Adapting and Validating a Motor Intelligence Assessment Tool for Children with Intellectual Disabilities: Prioritizing Movement and Sensory-Motor Integration
No full textBackground: Motor intelligence, which involves the integration of sensory input and motor output, plays a crucial role in the physical, cognitive, and social development of children with intellectual disabilities (ID). While validated tools exist to measure motor intelligence in typically developing children, there is a significant gap in reliable and adaptable assessments for children with ID. Assessing motor intelligence in this population is essential for identifying sensory-motor deficits and designing targeted interventions to enhance physical performance, promote participation in physical activities, and improve overall quality of life.
Objective: To evaluate the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the adapted tool in identifying sensory-motor deficits and movement priorities specific to this population. The ultimate goal is to provide a practical and effective assessment tool that can inform targeted interventions to improve motor performance, physical activity participation, and overall developmental outcomes for children with ID.
Methods: A total of 100 children aged 9–12 years with mild-to-moderate intellectual disabilities (IQ range 50–70) were randomly selected from a special education school in Assiut province, Egypt. The study adapted an existing motor intelligence test battery, originally designed for typically developing children, to better suit the sensory-motor and cognitive abilities of children with ID. The adapted battery included tasks evaluating sensory-motor coordination, balance, motor planning, and movement prioritization. Modifications were made to simplify instructions, reduce task complexity, and incorporate visual and auditory cues to accommodate the unique needs of children with ID. Reliability and validity were assessed using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and t-tests, while factor analysis was conducted to identify key dimensions of motor intelligence in this population.
Results: The motor intelligence test battery demonstrated high reliability (r = 0.813 to 0.999) and validity (t-values ranging from 7.98 to 9.33; p < 0.01). Tasks such as "Consecutive Jumps" (r = 0.980) and "Sound and Motion" (r = 0.915) showed excellent reliability, indicating their suitability for children with ID. However, tasks requiring more complex coordination, such as "Rolling Ball," exhibited moderate reliability (r = 0.529), suggesting the need for further refinement or alternative task designs for this population. Factor analysis revealed five distinct dimensions of motor intelligence, collectively explaining 35.65% of the variance, which aligned with the movement priorities and sensory-motor challenges specific to children with ID. Standardized score tables were developed to ensure fair and accurate interpretation of test results, accounting for the variability in motor abilities within this population.
Conclusion: The adapted motor intelligence test battery proved to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing motor intelligence in children with intellectual disabilities. The modifications made to the original test battery ensured its appropriateness for this population, enabling the identification of sensory-motor deficits and movement priorities. The study highlights the importance of tailoring assessment tools to the unique needs of children with ID, ensuring accurate measurement and meaningful interpretation of results. The researcher recommends the inclusion of the adapted motor intelligence battery and the standardized score tables in related programs within intellectual schools to support the development of targeted interventions. These interventions can enhance motor performance, promote physical activity participation, and improve overall quality of life for children with ID
El feminismo de Estado en España: El Instituto de la Mujer, 1983-1994
No full textEste trabajo contiene un análisis del Instituto de la Mujer (IM), el principal organismo público de igualdad de la Administración central en España. Al igual que las instituciones feministas de otros países, el IM fue establecido con el propósito de impulsar el establecimiento de políticas que contribuyeran a mejorar la posición de las mujeres en la sociedad. La primera parte del artículo examina el proceso de creación del IM, prestando especial atención al papel desempeñado por el movimiento asociativo de mujeres, así como a la importancia de las influencias internacionales. Se estudian además las principales características formales de la institución. La segunda parte contiene una evaluación (provisional) del impacto del IM en la formulación y puesta en práctica de las políticas de igualdad. Por último, se examinan el carácter y las consecuencias de las relaciones formales e informales existentes entre los miembros del movimiento feminista y del feminismo institucional.Publicad
