Investigation of the Role of Age and Gender in the Perception of Motor Competence of Children Aged 7-10 Years of Ahvaz City in 2021: A Descriptive Study

F. Mohammadi* Pages 1309-1322

Background and Objectives

Perceived motor competence (PMC) is person's perception of its actual motor competence, and characteristics such as age and gender differences may be effective on it. The aim of this study was to determine the role of age and gender in the PMC of children aged 7-10 years in Ahvaz.

Materials and Methods

The current study is descriptive in nature. 828 children aged 7-10 years were selected and evaluated as a cluster random sampling from different regions of Ahvaz in 2021. The research instrument was The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC). Data were analyzed using independent t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test.

Results

The relationship between the child's age and the PMC of the locomotor (r=0.44, p=0.001), object control (r=0.41, p=0.001), and the total test score (r=0.50, p=0.045) was positive and significant. There was a significant difference between girls and boys in the perceived competence of the object control subscale (p=0.001) and the overall score (p=0.003). Boys in the skills of running (p=0.018), jumping (p= 0.018), sliding (p=0.010), catching (p=0.043), kicking (p=0.003), and underhand throwing (p=0.034) had higher perceived motor competence.

Conclusion

The older children had higher PMC. Girls, compared with boys, had lower PMC in object control skills and some locomotor skills. This indicates that they are at risk of lower PMC. Therefore, it is recommended that interventional programs be planned to increase their perception of their competence.

Removal of Tetracycline Antibiotic from Aqueous Solution Using Zeolite-X Modified by Pyridium Bromide Cationic Surfactant:A Laboratory Study

S. Ahmadzadeh*, M. Dolatabadi Pages 1339-1356

Background and Objectives

Antibiotics are among the pollutants that have entered uncontrollably in the environment, and lead to serious environmental problems such as disrupting aquatic ecosystems, and causing health problems for humans and other organisms. Therefore, it is necessary to remove them from the environment. In the current study, zeolite modified by cationic surfactant of cetylpyridinium bromide hydrate was employed as an adsorbent to remove tetracycline from the aqueous solution.

Materials and Methods

In this laboratory study, the effect of main variables, including initial tetracycline concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and reaction time on the adsorption process was investigated. Adsorbent structural features were analyzed using FESEM, pH of zero point of charge (pHZPC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Finally, isotherm and kinetics of the adsorption process were studied.

Results

The removal efficiency of 99.9% was achieved under the optimum condition, including initial tetracycline concentration of 11.5 mg L-1, pH of 6.0, the adsorbent dosage of 4.0 g L-1, and reaction time of 50 min. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) was found to be 65.41 mg g-1. The adsorption process for tetracycline removal followed the Langmuir isotherm (R2=0.9996) and second-order kinetic model (R2=0.9957).

Conclusion

The adsorption process using zeolite modified by cationic surfactant was a suitable technique with high efficiency for removing tetracycline from contaminated wastewater.

Increased Risk of Kidney Disorders in Patients with Coronavirus 2019: A Letter to the Editor

A. Kaeidi, J. Hassanshahi* Pages 1385-1390

Background and Objectives

Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) has become a global disease that can affect various organs of the human body. Kidney disorders are the most common disorders in patients with Covid-19. Kidney involvement manifests as proteinuria and acute kidney injury (AKI). This virus can cause acute tubular necrosis, protein leakage in the Bowman's capsule, glomerulopathy, and mitochondrial dysfunction via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). It can also interfere with the regulation of immune responses (including cytokine storm), unbalanced activation of the renin-angiotensin system, and unbalanced activation of macrophages in the kidneys. To date, there is no specific treatment strategy to protect the kidneys against Covid-19. Therefore, considering the vital role of the kidneys in maintaining body homeostasis, it is suggested that special attention be paid to this organ during the treatment of patients with Covid-19.

Keywords: Covid-19 disease, Acute kidney injury, Inflammation, Immune response, Renin-angiotensin system
