Bien que plusieurs audiologistes ceuvrant dans les milieux francophones du Canada rapportent utiliser une epreuve de reconnaissance de mots dans le bruit pour evaluer les capacites d'ecoute, aucun outil enregistre n'a ete repertorie. Afin de repondre a ce besoin clinique, le but de la presente etude &ad de developper une epreuve de reconnaissance de mots dans le bruit pour enfants et adultes francophones de l'est du Cnada. Le Test de Mots dans le Bruit (TMB) comprend quatre listes de 35 mots et un bruit de verbiage (babble). Le materiel vocal a ete choisi pour etre accessible aux individus dont le vocabulaire correspond a celui d'enfants de 5 ans ou plus. Les donnees preliminaires recueillies aupres de sept groupes d'enfants (6 a 12 ans) et d'un groupe d'adultes revelent que les listes de mots du TMB sont equivalentes au plan des performances mesurees a un rapport signal-sur-bruit de +5 dB. Un effet d'age est egalement note. L'amelioration des capacites a percevoir les mots dans le bruit sera exploree plus en details lors de 1'etablissement des donnees normatives.

Background The normative age ranges during which cohorts of children achieve milestones are called windows of achievement. The patterns of these windows of achievement are known to be both genetically and environmentally dependent. This study aimed to determine the windows of achievement for motor, social emotional, language and cognitive development milestones for infants and toddlers in Sri Lanka.

For 3-4 generations,selection of the nymphs most rapidly and slowly developing at 28°C was performed in four families of the red soldier bug Pyrrhocoris apterus L.In each generation,duration of development of nymphs was determined at 5 constant temperatures from 20°C to 28°C.From these data the linear regression coefficient of the development rate against temperature(the development thermolability coefficient)for each generation was calculated.As a result of the selection the average duration of the nymph development was shortened or increased statistically significantly depending on its direction.The artificial selection for the development duration has been established to change not only this parameter,but also the temperature norms of the insect development.At selection for fast development the regression straight line slope(i.e.,the regression coefficient value)increased statistically significantly,i.e.,development became more dependent on temperature.As a rule,the temperature threshold of development increased.At selection for slow development the values of the regression coefficient and of the threshold decreased,but these differences were not statistically significant.The effect of artificial selection for the development duration on temperature norms of insect development has been revealed for the first time.

Abstract— Based on the methodological basis of the concept of typological variability of the human physiological individuality, a systemic relationship between the indicators of spontaneous motor activity, morphofunctional status, and vegetative homeostasis in newborns in the late neonatal period was determined. Overall, 137 newborns (71 boys and 66 girls) at the age of 10–14 days were examined. The following set of methods was used: a comprehensive assessment of neonate physical development according to tables of the centile type, the determination of indicators of spontaneous motor activity (SMA) during the daily cycle, the assessment of the main cardiovascular system (CVS) data and daily monitoring of heart rate, heart rate variability parameters, the study of psychomotor status based on the state of muscle tone, evoked reflexes, and movements. The results of the study revealed the typological variability of spontaneous motor activity in healthy newborns in the late neonatal period with the identification of three functional types: newborns with low, medium, and high SMA. Complex evaluation of morphofunctional data, vegetative homeostasis, and psychomotor status in newborns with different levels of SMA identifies three variants of the physiological norm of psychomotor development: tonic (low SMA), harmonic (medium SMA), and kinetic (high SMA).

Sense of coherence is a psychological resource which contributes substantially to an individual's ability to cope well with stressful situations. In the present study we investigate an ultra-short form of the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-3) in a representative sample of the German general population (N=2.018). The 3-item model evinced excellent model fit qualities and acceptable reliability. We present evidence for partial strict invariance across sex and age groups. In terms of construct validity, our analyses demonstrate strong overlap between the SOC-3 and two longer versions (-9 and -29). In addition, correlations to related constructs such as attachment styles, physical and mental health, as well as quality of life were similar between the SOC versions. For the first time, normative values for the German population are presented to allow for the classification of individual scores. We recommend the SOC-3 as a screener for applied sciences and for large-scale surveys in particular.

Abstract Why has the global norm of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) been facing challenges in the process of national implementation, even in developed countries? We conceptualize the implementation of the SDGs as a complex institutional process where a globally agreed norm is internalized into a specific context. Building on institutional theories, we conducted an interpretive case study of the Korean SDGs (K‐SDGs), focusing particularly on governance structure and differing stakeholders' engagement. The findings suggest that the notion of “sustainable development” has historically evolved with time in Korea, which has shaped the current implementation of the SDGs. The challenges in the process are not only technical and functional, but also socio‐institutional. These challenges include institutional fragmentation within the government, the inherent ambiguity of the SDGs, conflicting values, and interpretations of “sustainable development” in the Korean context. To address such challenges, the active participation of various stakeholders and collaborative governance were found to be significant, which in turn provides lessons for other countries.

Abstract Place attachment and public participation are increasingly important to sustainable community development and environmental protection, and influence the degree to which residents value community development. Unfortunately, social segregation has broken value consensus in many modern communities, particularly Chinese communities, which traditionally emphasize interpersonal interactions. This has created discrepancies between theory and reality in community development, making it necessary to clarify the influence of relational capital (e.g., trust, identification, and norm of reciprocity) on the relationship between place attachment and resident participation. This study adopted convenience sampling to conduct a case study in Eastern Taiwan. A total of 310 valid samples were collected. The relationships between constructs are determined by a linear structural equation model. Our results show that place attachment and resident participation are positively correlated and that reciprocal norms are important mediators of the influence of place attachment on resident participation. From a practical perspective, this confirms the rationality of community policy and highlights areas for improvement to support ongoing community development.

Over the past decade, China has moved closer to accepting international infrastructure financing standards and sought to address those environmental and social problems that have occurred in many overseas projects funded by China. These new policies include enhancing the state regulatory regime, requiring the financial entities and infrastructure companies to adopt international best practices, and at the same time revamping various regulations in the financial sector. But, these reforms have not led to any fundamental change in the actual behavior infrastructure companies & rsquo; sustainability performance on the ground. This paper addresses the question why the sustainability performance of China & rsquo;s overseas financing is still ostensibly weak in despite of these government & rsquo;s efforts. Building on the existing theoretical perspectives, for instance, economic statecraft theory, fragmented authoritarianism model, and governance weaknesses of the host countries, this research seeks to examine the role of China & rsquo;s policy banks in supervising those infrastructure projects that they have financed. This study looks at three cases of infrastructure financing by China Development Bank and EXIM Bank in Southeast Asian countries in different periods. Drawing theoretical insights from normative institutionalism, this paper contends that the unsatisfactory sustainability performance of Chinese financing continues to take place because decision-making based on the logics of appropriateness-conforming to various informal political norms inside China-has prevented Chinese financiers from making accountable business decisions, leading to their failures in exercising effective oversight of those overseas infrastructure projects. The findings in this paper provide a better understanding of China & rsquo;s overseas infrastructure development and contribute to the debate on China & rsquo;s development financing, as well as the Belt and Road Initiative.
