RESUMO
Background: There is only limited evidence supporting the claim that Metacognition is critical for intelligent behavior or for performance of psychometric test of intelligence. It is believed that Metacognition will play an increasing prominent role in theory and research on intellectual abilities and cognitive task performance. According to the mixed model, metacognition is related to intelligence to a certain extent, but it has a surplus value on top of intellectual ability for the predictors of learning. The objective of this study was to examine the significant relationship between the Verbal IQ and Metacognition among young adults. Methodology: The study was conducted on Young Adults, PG students of SDM College, Ujire in the district of Dakshin Kannada. Verbal index of WAIS-IV (David Wechsler) and Metacognition Inventory (Punit Govil) was administered on the participants. Data was analyzed by using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation. Results: Findings of the study showed no significant relationship between Verbal intelligence and Metacognition. The smaller sample size could be a factor in the same. Conclusion: Further larger studies in diverse samples are needed to extrapolate the findings of this study and reach any further correlations in this regard
RESUMO
Lung carcinoma is the most common carcinoma seen in males with the skin being a rare metastatic site. Adenosquamous carcinoma as a rare histologic subtype, showing cutaneous metastasis is an unusual event with no reports in the literature till date. Skin metastasis is an alarming sign, carries poor prognosis, and is associated with shortened survival. Herein, we report a case of 60-year-old male who presented with isolated cutaneous metastasis as a chronic nonhealing ulcer over the sternal region for 3 years (unusual) in the first place, without any other associated symptoms and clinical evidence of the primary. Wide local excision of the lesion was performed after proper workup which revealed metastatic adenosquamous carcinoma. The patient was advised systemic chemotherapy. A high index of suspicion along with clinico-radio-pathological correlation in these cases is of utmost importance and forms the basis of accurate diagnosis
RESUMO
Objectives: Assessing dietary consumption, developing and evaluation of sensory and nutritional quality of OFSP incorporated recipes to increase Vit-A intake for preschool children in Southern Ethiopia. Methods: Two stage cluster sampling was used to select 576 preschool children's to assess dietary consumption of Vit-A. For this crross-sectional survey, modified 7 day HKI FFQ and 24 hr FANTA DDS were used. Flatbreads were developed, OFSP to sorghum flour of 0%:100% (control), 25%:75%, 30%:70% and 35%:65%. Sensory evaluation of flatbreads was carried out by semi trained panelist and consumers by using 9 and 5 point hedonic scales respectively. Randomization was used for coding and presenting of flatbreads during sensory evaluation. Nutritional evaluated was carried out at EHNRI Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 19. ANOVA was used to see sensory attributer mean variance and LSD was used to see significance mean difference of sensory attributer (p< 0.05). Results: Mean FF of animal source of Vit-A was 1.42 times and animal plus plant source (weighted by source) was 3.01 times for the last 7 days. Only 15% of study subject's had high DDS. OFSP incorporated sorghum flatbeds in different proportion are accepted in all sensory attributers by semi-trained panelists and consumers (p≤0.05). All OFSP incorporated flatbreads were excellent source of Vit-A Conclusions: Dietary intake of Vit-A rich food is low. OFSP flour up to 35% can be incorporated to the traditional sorghum flatbread to increase its Vit-A content which can serve as a vehicle for delivering Vit-A to the preschool children.
