Improve the behavioral auditory attention training effects on the Speech-In-Noise perception with simultaneous electrical stimulation in children with hearing loss: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Auditory attention is an important cognitive factor that significantly affects speech perception in noisy environments. Hearing loss can impact attention, and it can impair speech perception in noise. Auditory attention training improves speech perception in noise in children with hearing loss.

Measuring personality in Libyan Arabs: validating the big five aspect scale with 10 factors domain.

Research has developed the Big-Five Aspect Scale (BFAS), supporting a five-domain model that includes 10 related aspects. In Arabic societies, there is currently a lack of validation evidence for a scale with these 10 aspects. Thus, this study develops and examines the psychometric properties of the short version of the BFAS (BFAS-SV) within Libyan Arab adults.

Effects of freezing of gait on vertical ground reaction force in Parkinson's disease.

Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is a main kinetic gait analysis explaining body weight loading patterns. The study primarily aimed to understand effects of Freezing of gait (FoG) on vGRF in Parkinson's disease (PD). A secondary analysis for a walking dataset including biomechanical analyses for 26 PD participants (13 with FoG) was performed.

Rice growth and yield responses to saline water irrigation are related to Na+/K+ ratio in plants.

Rice growth and yield response to salinity can be influenced by the duration and the timing of salt stress. The present study tested the effects of saline water irrigation from vegetative growth to maturity on rice growth and yield and ion concentrations in the straw and root and related them to changes in soil salinity and soil solute potential. The treatments consisted of five levels of saline water irrigation (electrical conductivity ~0.
