AbstractThis article presents a psycholinguistic investigation probing the recognition of derived words with the suffix -dzis in Modern Greek. We investigate the mode of lexical access, as well as the effect that features such as [±concrete], carried by the stem of the derived words, may have on word recognition. Participants (native speakers of Modern Greek) were divided into two age groups in order to investigate possible differences in their performance in two experiments, one on-line and one off-line. Results show that derived words in -dzis are accessed through decomposition. Furthermore, the features [±concrete] of the stem do appear to play a role in the computation of derived words. Finally, age-related differences are found to exist, at least during on-line word recognition.

The present studies examine the hypothesis that multiple adrenergic neuroeffector mechanisms are not fully developed in fetal, compared with adult, ovine middle cerebral arteries. In arteries denuded of endothelium and pretreated with 1 μM atropine to block involvement of muscarinic receptors, 10 μM capsaicin to deplete sensory peptidergic neurons, and 10 μM nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) to block possible influences from nitric oxidergic innervation, transmural stimulation at 16 Hz increased contractile tensions to 9.5 ± 3.7% ( n = 6) of the potassium maximum in adult arteries. Corresponding values in fetal arteries, however, were significantly less and averaged only 1.1 ± 0.6% ( n =10). However, postsynaptic sensitivity to norepinephrine (NE) was similar in the two age groups; NE pD2 values (−log EC50) averaged 6.11 ± 0.12 ( n = 6) and 6.33 ± 0.09 M ( n = 9) in fetal and adult arteries, respectively. Similarly, NE content measured via HPLC was also similar in the two age groups and averaged 32.4 ± 5.0 ( n = 17) and 32.5 ± 3.9 ng/ng wet wt ( n = 13) in fetal and adult middle cerebral arteries, respectively. In contrast, stimulation-induced NE release was greater in fetal than in adult arteries, whether calculated as total mass released [883 ± 184 ( n = 17) vs. 416 ± 106 pg NE/mg wet wt ( n = 13)] or as fractional release [51.1 ± 5.3 ( n = 17) vs. 22.8 ± 3.8 pg/pg NE content per pulse × 10−6]. Measured as an index of synaptic density, neuronal cocaine-sensitive NE uptake was similar in fetal and adult arteries [1.55 ± 0.40 ( n = 10) and 1.84 ± 0.51 pmol/mg wet wt ( n = 7), respectively]. Overall, age-related differences in postsynaptic sensitivity to NE, NE release, and NE uptake capacity cannot explain the corresponding age-related differences in response to stimulation. The data thus suggest that total synaptic volume and cleft width, in particular, are probably greater and/or that adrenergic corelease of vasoactive substances other than NE is altered in fetal compared with adult middle cerebral arteries.

AbstractAlthough physiological changes are the most evident indicators of skin aging by alteration of the skin’s structure and function, we question whether skin aging is also affected by the structure and assembly process of the skin microbiome. We analysed the skin microbiomes of 73 healthy Chinese women in two age groups (25–35 years old and 56–63 years old) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing; the overall microbiome structure was significantly different between the two age groups. An analysis using ecological theory to evaluate the process of microbial community assembly processes revealed that the microbiomes of the older group were formed under a greater influence of the niche-based process, with the network of microbes being more collapsed than that of the younger group. Inferred metagenomic functional pathways associated with replication and repair were relatively more predominant in the younger group whereas, among the various metabolism-related pathways, those associated with biodegradation were more predominant in the older group. Interestingly, we found two segregated sub-typing patterns in the younger group which were also observed in the skin microbiomes of young Chinese women living in four other cities in China. The results of our study highlights candidate microbes and functional pathways that are important for future research into preventing skin aging and which could lead to a comprehensive understanding of age-related skin microbiome characteristics.

The study aimed to describe differences in the types of sexual abuse injuries between two age groups of children presenting to an emergency department. This descriptive correlational study explored the relationships between sexual abuse type and child’s age using data from the hospital health records of 95 children ages 6–14 years. Descriptive analysis indicated that sexually abused child victims’ ages were significantly associated with different types of penetrations and mucosal tears or injuries (p < 0.05). These findings highlighted the need for increased awareness about the different types of physical trauma associated with the ages of the child victims.

In this argument, based in concrete observation for toddlers 2-4 years old, will be treated the case of lexical input of this age, used in the act of speech from the communication through special words- accompanied with extra-linguistic means,- from holophrases, to generating simple sentences, as special constructs of syntax. Primal phases of owning the language have already slowly started in the first years of their lives. The child follows the unstoppable road to understanding and enriching knowledge. As helping to our material will be included, except for their group and family life, didactic materials as well, in which part of our study were “Open and Find out” books, which are made of secret windows and puzzle books, which contain plenty of material that serves to the children’s speech-gaining act. The theory treating of the problem above will be mostly supported by Albanian language data, or by Albanian children – as native speakers of that mother language. The principal phases of owning the language have slowly started during the first years of his life. Now the child follows the unstoppable way to gaining and enriching his knowledge. The methodology followed in this material includes preschool children. During this phase the child articulates more lexical words than grammatical words. We noticed the phenomena when observing 14 children, who were selected from two age groups. The conversations of the different aged and gendered subjects were analyzed, as well as the vocabularies they owned. During this treatment will be shown linguistic features that children are prone to change from one phase of life to another. It’s also interesting to emphasize how even in the word and sentence producing phase, children are developed and skilled by using didactic books on them.

This article highlights the research fi ndings of the peculiarities of using secular and re-ligious coping strategies by women of different age groups (from age 19 to 70). Focusing on describing age dynamics in coping strategies, it shows that the tendency to use one or other methods of coping with diffi culties is age-related. The research revealed the differences with regard to the object of control in problematic situations and resource origin between two age groups: early and late adulthood. Additionally, it is assumed that women’s subjec-tive resource of overcoming diffi culties includes emotional self-control, while their objective resource--educational level and employment.

The author regards schoolchildren’s awareness and affective evaluation of their belonging to an ethnic community to be among the essential social issues. The paper investigates age-related characteristics of schoolchildren’s ethnic identity. The presented empirical study involved the investigation of emotional and value-oriented components of ethnic identity in schoolchildren of two age groups. The obtained results show that ethnic identity of schoolchildren is mostly complete and constant by the end of adolescence. The awareness of belonging to an ethnic group is of high priority to all adolescent schoolchildren, while the emotional and value-oriented components of this belonging appear of little significance to them. For younger schoolchildren nationality is mostly important, while older schoolchildren attach most significance to the language, emotional and sensory components of ethnic identity.

In the second-language classroom the teacher determines to a high degree the input and feedback L2-learners receive. Feedback informs learners of the accuracy of their production, after which they may alter their hypotheses about the target language. The role of feedback has been investigated from different theoretical points of view and there has been some research on its effect. However, most of these studies concern adults; hardly any research has focused on young children. In this article, I will discuss some of the literature about which feedback strategies are suitable for the SLA by non-native children in kindergarten. I will also summarize the results of the analysis of 18 lessons in kindergarten groups in which more than 90% of the children are non-native speakers, to determine which strategies teachers actually use. I will compare twelve different teachers, two age groups, two different vocabulary methods and two kinds of lessons.

A circadian rhythm secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is thought to regulate the circadian pattern of secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone. We have previously reported that the amplitude of the diurnal rhythm of serum corticosterone concentrations decreases in 17- to 20-mo-old rats. In the present experiment, we tested whether an age-related alteration in the daily rhythm and/or level of CRH mRNA in the paraventricular nuclei (PVN) occurs during middle age. Groups of young and middle-aged animals were killed at several times of day. We assessed the level of CRH mRNA in the PVN and dorsal medial subdivision of the PVN using in situ hybridization. In young rats, CRH mRNA expression exhibited a diurnal rhythm in the dorsal medial PVN. The same trend was observed in the entire medial PVN. In middle-aged rats, no rhythm was detected in either region. The overall average level of CRH mRNA was not different between these two age groups. These findings suggest that changes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus or in its ability to entrain neuroendocrine outputs occur relatively early during the aging process.

SUMMARY DNA synthetic activity was monitored in rat and human prostate using [125I]iododeoxyuridine ([125I]UdR). Fresh prostate tissue from 6-week-old rats showed higher incorporation of [125I]UdR than that from 12- or 26-week-old rats. During culture for up to 6 days in the absence of hormones, the incorporation of [125I]UdR fell to a low level for all three age groups. Stimulatory effects were seen when rat prostates were cultured in the presence of insulin (3 μg/ml) and testosterone (10−7 mol/l), the incorporation on day 4 of culture being commensurate with that of fresh prostate of the corresponding age. Thus the magnitude of the response was higher for the 6-week-old prostate than that for the other two age groups. A similar age-related pattern of androgen stimulation was observed in experiments in which immature and adult castrated rats were injected daily with testosterone and the freshly removed prostates were incubated with [125I]UdR. Although insulin, by itself, had a stimulatory effect on [125I]UdR incorporation in cultured prostate, the magnitude of the response did not differ in the 6- and 26-week-old prostate tissue. Maximal stimulation was obtained using 25 μg insulin/ml. Tissue from a benign prostatic hyperplasia was also responsive to insulin in culture but it differed from rat prostate in that increased proliferative activity occurred even in the absence of hormone stimulation. This spontaneous surge in activity during culture tended to mask the stimulatory effects of insulin and testosterone at concentrations of 3 μg/ml and 10−7 mol/l respectively.
