Introduction: Play is a way for children to develop and learn about themselves in conjunction with the world. Using play as part of pediatric physical therapy is broadly recommended. This study investigates this integration of play and seeks to answer the research question: How do pediatric physical therapists (PPT) understand and manage embedding play in pediatric physical therapy with children aged 0-3?

Methods: This is a qualitative study in which we connect to an enactive theoretical framework.

Article Synopsis
  • The synthesis and characterization of the quadruply-bonded dimer Mo(CHNMeBH) is reported, with each molybdenum(II) center connected to two BDAM ligands, resulting in an unbridged Mo-Mo bond.
  • Structural and solution NMR data, analyzed through McConnell's equation and supported by DFT calculations, reveal that ligand-induced magnetic anisotropies can distort NMR chemical shifts, leading to potential overestimations of metal-metal bond contributions.
  • A new method is proposed to quantify and correct these ligand effects, suggesting that the magnetic anisotropy of the Mo-Mo quadruple bond is approximately -800 × 10 m molecule, challenging previous inflated estimates in the literature.

The excited-state dynamics of -Co(ppy), where ppy = 2-[2-(pyridyl)phenyl], are measured with femtosecond UV-vis transient absorption spectroscopy. The initial state is confirmed with spectroelectrochemistry to have significant metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character, unlike other Co complexes that generally have ligand-to-metal charge transfer or ligand-field transitions in this energy range. Ground-state recovery occurs in 8.

Background: The correlation between the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) has not previously been assessed in Norwegian infants. Our purpose was to investigate the concurrent validity of the AIMS and the PDMS-2 in a group of high-risk infants, and to investigate the predictive validity of the two tests for atypical motor function at 24 months post term age (PTA).

Methods: This is a retrospective study of the AIMS and the PDMS-2 administered to infants born preterm with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks (n = 139) who had participated in a randomized controlled trial of early parent-administered physiotherapy.
