Introdução: O Frequency-Intensity-Time Index of Kasari avalia a prática de exercício físico em termos de intensidade, frequência e duração, podendo o produto destes parâmetros (FIT) ser como indicador de aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Objetivo: Avaliar a correlação e concordância do FIT com volume de oxigênio máximo VO2max em medidas direta e indireta. Métodos: Estudo metodológico com seleção amostral do tipo não probabilística por conveniência, do qual participaram alunos do curso de Instrutores de Educação Física (CI) e membros da família militar (n=59). A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos de estimação do VO2max: protocolo de rampa, utilizando expirômetro (VO2maxrampa), aplicado na família militar; e teste de Cooper (VO2maxCooper), aplicado nos alunos. Todos responderam a mesma versão do FIT. A correlação foi estimada pelo do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson e a concordância foi avaliada por meio do coeficiente de concordância (ρc) e da análise gráfica de Bland e Altman. Os softwares SPSS 15 e MedCalc foram usados. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 24 alunos do CI (26,5± 2,39 anos) e 35 membros da família militar (45,28 ± 10,79 anos). Houve correlação significante e fraca apenas entre FIT e VO2maxCooper. Os coeficientes de concordância do FIT foram pobres e desprezíveis entre VO2maxCooper e VO2maxrampa, respectivamente. Os gráficos Bland-Altman exibiram viés de diferença considerável, o que indica margens amplas de sub e superestimação do VO2max. Conclusão: O Frequency-Intensity-Time Index of Kasari parece ser adequado para descrever de exercício físico praticado, mas o uso do FIT precisa ser melhor investigado.

Neste texto propomos possibilidades de inserir as literaturas Macuxi no ensino de língua e cultura Macuxi nas comunidades indígenas em Roraima. O Boto é um /personagem bastante conhecido entre os povos indígenas em Roraima, no Norte, na Amazônia e no Brasil. A partir de nossas vivências nas comunidades indígenas, da língua Macuxi falada e das histórias contadas, principalmente por mulheres indígenas consideradas guardiãs dos saberes ancestrais, apresentamos aqui propostas de atividades para o ensino de língua Macuxi a partir deste tema.

Purpose In this study, the authors evaluated the effects of Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT; Hancock & Kaiser, 2006) blended with Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, and Emotional Regulation (JASPER; Kasari, Freeman, & Paparella, 2006) to teach spoken words and manual signs (Words + Signs) to young children with Down syndrome (DS). Method Four toddlers (ages 23–29 months) with DS were enrolled in a study with a multiple-baseline, across-participants design. Following baseline, 20 play-based treatment sessions (20–30 min each) occurred twice weekly. Spoken words and manual signs were modeled and prompted by a therapist who used EMT/JASPER teaching strategies. The authors assessed generalization to interactions with parents at home. Results There was a functional relation between the therapist's implementation of EMT/JASPER Words + Signs and all 4 children's use of signs during the intervention. Gradual increases in children's use of spoken words occurred, but there was not a clear functional relation. All children generalized their use of signs to their parents at home. Conclusions The infusion of manual signs with verbal models within a framework of play, joint attention, and naturalistic language teaching appears to facilitate development of expressive sign and word communication in young children with DS.

Purpose: Technology-enabled adaptations of efficacious in-person early intervention programs for young children with autism spectrum disorder have the potential to conserve resources while increasing access to specialized educational services. Usability testing of online programs can support participant engagement by aligning program navigation and content presentation with the needs and preferences of the target end users. Method: The project includes formative work to develop a technology-enabled adaptation of the evidence-based caregiver-mediated Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation (Kasari et al., 2010) social communication intervention to be delivered by community-based early interventionists and early childhood special educators who are serving families of young children with autism in rural and remote communities. Usability testing included two components: (a) Think Aloud real-time feedback interviews (Davison et al., 1997) and (b) completion of the System Usability Scale (Sauro, 2011). The measures were conducted to explore the stakeholders' interactions with the system. Results: Feedback was largely positive indicating that the online materials were straight forward to navigate, the content was valued, visuals enhanced the experience, and multiple methods to access information (e.g., listen or read) were appreciated. Suggestions for improvement included adding further video examples, reducing page scrolling, and making some activities optional (e.g., text boxes, multiple-choice questions). Conclusions: Overall, participants smoothly navigated through the pilot materials. Revisions are being implemented to incorporate the participants' feedback.

Many children with Down syndrome display asynchrony in development with the acquisition of language preceding at a slower pace than the acquisition of other cognitive skills. Recent research suggests that the expressive language delays that are displayed by these children may be associated with an earlier disturbance in the development of nonverbal requesting skills (Mundy, Sigman, Kasari, & Yirmiya, 1988; Smith & von Tetzchner, 1986). To test this hypothesis, a longitudinal study of 37 children with Down syndrome and 25 children with normal development was conducted. The results of the study indicated that this sample of children with Down syndrome exhibited a disturbance in nonverbal requesting. Furthermore, individual differences in nonverbal requesting were associated with the subsequent development of expressive language in these children. This association was observed even after taking into account initial variance in developmental level and language status. These data suggested that some of the processes involved in the expressive language delay of children with Down syndrome were not unique to linguistic development. Instead, some aspects of this delay appeared to be associated with problems in an earlier nonverbal phase of communication development. Additionally, the results suggested that measures of nonverbal communication skills also made a unique contribution to the prediction of language development among children with normal development. These data supported the hypothesis that the acquisition of nonverbal communication skills provides an important foundation for the emergence of language in atypical as well as typical development.

Aims: The main aim of the study is to put forward correlation between functional movement screen, core endurance and Y balance test assessments in handball players. Methods: It is included to our study in between 18-22 years old 30 licensed handball player and 30 sedentary young individuals from the same age group. Kasari Physical Activity Form was used containing frequency, intensity, time information in order to determine physical activity level of the sedentary group. In all participants, the Illinois Agility Test was used for agility evaluation and the Vertical Jump Test was used for jumping force measurement and flexor endurance, extensor endurance and lateral bridge tests were used for core stabilization evaluation. Dynamic balance was evaluated Y balance test. Functional movement patterns were evaluated by functional movement screen consisting of 7 subcomponents. Results: As a result of the evaluations, In the individuals of athlete group, it is identified positive directional correlation between Functional Movement Screen composite score and flexor stability results (r=0.653 p<0.001) between, Functional Movement Screen composite score and Lateral bridge Dominant scores (r=0.542 p<0.01) between, FMS composite score and lateral bridge non-dominant scores (r=0.374 p<0.05) between, Functional Movement Screen composite score and Extensor endurance scores but when the relationship between Y balance test and Functional Movement Screen was analyzed; no statistically significant relationship was found (p>0.05). Conclusion: While functional movement screen assessments and core stabilization are closely related to each other, these assessments were not found to be associated with Y balance test. Functional movement screen reflects core stabilization but fails to assess dynamic balance.

Haymaking is a traditional craft that began to fade in the second half of the 20th century. The gradual disappearance of the traditional ways of making hay was due to the rapid development of modern agricultural techniques, which made the need for older techniques obsolete. Before the advent of hay packers, hay was mainly stored in barns or haystacks. As barns became more common beginning in the early 20th century, haystacks were the most common way of preserving hay (photos 1, 3, 4). To help structure the haystack and prevent the bottom of the pile from rotting, it was first necessary to build a haystack base (photo 2). In the case of wetlands and flooded meadows, haystacks had to be built on tall wooden poles to protect them against flooding (photos 5, 6). Although some descriptions of the construction of a traditional haystack have survived in the archives, there is no written information on haystack bases built on poles. Fortunately, there are some local people who still remember such haystack structures as well as some historically valuable photographs that have survived. Based on these old photos and local people’s memories, we organised a workshop on making a haystack base in Matsalu National Park, aimed at preserving and presenting the local heritage. In this article, we will look at the haystack, and in particular at the haystack base needed to build it on. The first part of the article gives an overview of the necessity and importance of the haystack in farm and folk culture. A separate section is devoted to the construction of the haystack bed on poles. The second part of the article is an auto-ethnographic overview of a workshop on the building of a haystack base on the Kasari riverbank in the village of Kelu. Along with photographic material, the article also gives an overview of the different stages of the build and some details about the construction.

Self-regulation in children is an important thing that needs to be prepared from an early age. Besides affecting children's school readiness, this also makes it easier for children to have good academic achievements. This study aims to determine the influence of moving to the beat of early childhood self-regulation. This research was conducted on kindergarten group B students in East Jakarta. The research method used is a quasi-experiment method with a sample of 20 students. The data collection technique uses observations by analysing paired t-test statistical data. The results of the study explained that there was a significant effect of moving to the beat of early childhood self-regulation. The significance level is 0.000 < 0.05, which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, this indicates a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. For further research, it is recommended to look at the influence of other factors on early childhood self-regulation.

Materials and Method: A total of 188 geriatric individuals with a mean age of 75.2 years were included in this study. The level of knowledge about diabetes was assessed by the Diabetes Information Questionnaire-24, the Kasari index was used to assess the level of physical activity, and quality of life was assessed by the Diabetes-39 Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: The participants’ knowledge about diabetes, their physical activity levels according to the Kasari index, and Diabetes-39 quality of life scores were all low. It was determined that level of knowledge was significantly related to physical activity and the Diabetes-39 diabetes control subgroup score (p

The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the country to new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years. Banking in India in the modern sense originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and The General Bank of India, established in 1786 and since defunct. The financial system and the economy have inter-relationship and the Indian financial structure has made with the rock foundation in Indian economy. The structure of Indian financial system is classified mainly into four groups that are financial institution, financial market, financial instruments and financial services. The scope of financial services has expanded without boundaries now-a-days since the advent of mammoth of financial products. Almost every now and then, new product is innovated and thereby the services are extended to every nook and corner. Thus the financial services have become part of life of common men and enable the development of society. The Kumbhi Kasari Co-Operative Bank Ltd. Kale.Was established in the year of 1999 by considering good location. Late ShriDatatrey Narke was the man behind formation of this bank and thus is the pioneer of co-operative movement in state. The Kumbhi Kasari Co-Operative Bank has created awareness among the people live in Kale about the importance of co-operative bank and benefits of saving. They created censoriousness about saving money in bank is like to keep money safe as well as secured. The Kumbhi Kasari Co-Operative Bank due to enthusiasm among the people got good responses regarding banking services. The specialty of this society is that there are different facilities reasonable rates of interest, services, interest for adult people and prestigious person under the guidance of experts. This co-operative bank is by the people of the people and for the people.

Nuorten 1980-luvun musiikkikulttuureja ovat leimanneet mielikuvat kaupallisuudesta, pinnallisuudesta ja värikkäistä musiikkivideoista. Tutkimuksellisen kiinnostuksen kohteena ovat puolestaan olleet erityisesti erilaiset musiikilliset alakulttuurit. 1980-luvun nuoriso- ja musiikkikulttuurien suuret linjat ovat kuitenkin jääneet vielä tutkimukselliseen paitsioon. Tässä artikkelissa aikakauden nuorisomusiikkikulttuurien keskeisiä piirteitä hahmotellaan ristiinvalottamalla aikakautta kahden eri aineistokokonaisuuden, muistelukirjoitusten ja levymyyntitilastojen kautta. Aikakaudella nuoruuttaan eläneiden muistoja kerättiin Niin kasaria! -muistitietokeruulla yhteistyössä Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran ja Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finlandin kanssa, ja vastauksia saatiin yhteensä 107. Kahden erilaisen lähdeaineiston rinnakkain käyttö tarjoaa myös metodisesti kiinnostavan esimerkin eri aineistolajien vertailusta. Muistitietoaineiston tarkastelu kertoo, että kaupallisesti menestyneimmät, albumimyyntilistojen kärjessä 1980-luvulla olleet laulajat ja yhtyeet eivät yksin hallitse aikakauteen liittyviä musiikkimuistoja. Mainittujen musiikkiartistien määrä ja kirjo ovat suuria – mainituista 698 artistista alle puolet mainitaan vähintään kahdessa eri vastauksessa, joten merkittävä osa on vain yhden vastaajan muisteluissa. Koko muistelijajoukolle yhteisesti merkittäviä artisteja oli suhteessa varsin vähän: vain 29 artistia mainittiin vähintään kymmenessä muistelukirjoituksessa. Nämä luvut kertovat muistelijoille merkityksellisen musiikin laajasta kirjosta ja musiikin lähteiden moninaisuudesta. Vaikka muistelun kohteena on 1980-luku, niin itse kuunneltu musiikki oli peräisin paljon laajemmalta ajanjaksolta. Aineistojen vertailu paljastaa myös, että alueelliset ja kielierot saattoivat vaikuttaa merkittävästi musiikin kuunteluun: ruotsinkielisten länsirannikolla asuneiden muistelijoiden musiikkimaisema poikkeaa selvästi muualla asuvien suomenkielisten muistoista.

Article Unsupervised Spectral Analysis of Bio-Dyed Textile Samples Zong-Yue Li 1,*, Joni Hyttinen 1, Riikka Räisänen 2, Xiao-Zhi Gao 1, and Markku Hauta-Kasari 1 1 School of Computing, Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu, 80101, Kuopio, 70211, Finland 2 Department of Education, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, 00014 , Finland * Correspondence: winstonli711@gmail.com Received: 12 March 2023 Accepted: 23 March 2023 Abstract: Natural compounds such as biological colorants (biocolorants) have long been employed as crucial ingredients for dying textile in the textile industry. As one part of the BioColour Consortium project, our goal is to take advantage of machine learning (in cluster analysis) to discover possible clusters of bio-dyed textile in the absence of ground truth labels or other knowledge of expert domains. Specifically, we use unsupervised learning methods of agglomerative clustering, fuzzy c-means, ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) and self-organizing maps (SOMs), resulting in an investigation that combines data visualization and cluster analysis. In summary, we apply some selected data mining methods to 1) discover hidden clusters emerging among products that are colored with biocolorant (specifically bio-dyed textile samples), and 2) show the potentials of clustering techniques in the case study.
