Assessing vocabulary acquisition using a fast-mapping task in an Android application: A pilot study.
Int J Speech Lang Pathol
November 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore whether a fast mapping task embedded in an Android application (FastMApp) is a valid tool to assess referent selection abilities in Spanish-speaking children aged between 18 and 30 months. Traditional assessment tools for lexical development use static quantitative methods that assign children a final score to represent their overall vocabulary level. These methods fail to provide insights into the learning process, despite their potential relevance for clinical and educational purposes.

- The study focused on anemia and iron status in 213 pregnant indigenous women in Panama, highlighting the limited understanding of these issues in those with multiple infections, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation.
- Anemia was found in 38% of participants and was linked to lower levels of ferritin, vitamin A, and poor nutritional status rather than inflammation; however, increased inflammation markers were tied to low serum iron.
- The results suggested that while iron supplementation did not directly improve anemia or iron status, using a multiple nutrient supplement showed beneficial effects, indicating that tackling anemia in complex scenarios may require a broader range of interventions beyond just iron supplementation.
Ribosomes are an archetypal ribonucleoprotein assembly. Due to ribosomal evolution and function, r-proteins share specific physicochemical similarities, making the riboproteome particularly suited for tailored proteome profiling methods. Moreover, the structural proteome of ribonucleoprotein assemblies reflects context-dependent functional features.

We assumed that this strange color change was due to the change in carotenoid composition, so we followed the changes for several weeks. The detailed carotenoid composition and content at different stages of development of the leaves was determined with HPLC-DAD focusing on the changes in red and yellow carotenoids.

In plants, the most abundant polyamines are putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm). Polyamine levels change in response to different pathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae pv.
