Such instruction may improve their understanding of prealgebra and early literacy. The present research was designed to determine whether there were relations between children’s understanding of patterns and early literacy at the outset of kindergarten, before instruction in recognizing patterns was begun. Accordingly, 492 kindergarten children were assessed with a patterning measure and two measures of early literacy. Significant correlations between scores on these three measures indicate that about 12-16% of a beginning kindergartner’s ability in literacy can be predicted from their understanding of patterns. Keywords: Initial sound fluency; Manipulatives; Dynamic indicators ...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research     The Use of ActiGraft, an Autologous Skin Graft, in the Treatment of Complex Diabetes Foot Ulcer - A Case Study- Juniper Publishers Authored by Chinenye Wachuku Meng   Abstract Chronic Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a complication associated with many comorbidities that can result in limb amputation and even death. ActiGraft, an autologous blood clot tissue, showed to be effective in cutaneous hard to heal wounds by promoting the natural healing process of the wound. We present a case of an ActiGraft treatment, applied weekly for 3 weeks on a complicated case of DFU exhibiting extensive necrotic tissue, exposed bone, tendons and fascia. Blood was withdrawn from the patient, at the point-of-care, to create a blood clot that was then placed on the wound. ActiGraft treatment showed promotion of extensive granulation covering the exposed bone and tendon, reduction of necrotic tissue, ...

In this study, the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and the isotopic abundance ratio of folic acid was investigated using LC-MS spectroscopy. The test sample folic acid was divided into control and treated parts. Only the treated part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The chromatographic spectra of both the sample...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Water as our life and Helper- Juniper Publishers  Authored by Kirill N Voinov   Abstract As we know, people constantly seek the planet where is maybe even very small amount of water. We usually assure why a man try to find a planet where the water is present: because of the water is life. Many scholars suppose that if in the definite place there is water and there is any life. And they are right. It is common knowledge, that water is the real source of life. But it helps us to get different food (fish /with meet and fat, salt, chemical elements, edible seaweeds and so forth /). We use it in many technological processes (in metallurgy, medicine, roadbuilding, in hydraulic systems, preparing our food and so on). Moreover, water permits to diminish the bad influence from the carcinogenic exhaust gases and harmful evaporations. Especially attention in this article it will be devoted to save fr...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Narrative Review of Web-based Healthy Lifestyle Interventions for Cancer Survivors- Juniper Publishers   Authored by Victoria Williams Abstract This narrative review of web-delivered weight management, diet quality, and physical activity interventions for cancer survivors relies on a systematic search of PubMed, Psych Info, and EBSCOhost which identified 19 unique web-delivered lifestyle interventions for cancer survivors. The sample sizes for these studies ranged from 11-492. Intervention duration ranged from 1-12 months; however, most interventions were 6-12 weeks in length. Ten studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), two were two-arm quasi RCTs, and seven employed a single-arm pre/post-test design. Many (N= 15) of the interventions were well-grounded in behavioral theory, which may have led to favorable behavior change. Most studies (15-of-19) targeted and reported increases in phy...
