Abstract: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is an obstetrical outcome where a fetus has not achieved its genetic potential. A consequence of IUGR is a decrease in brain myelin content. Myelin water imaging (MWI) has previously assessed fetal myelin water fraction (MWF) and can potentially assess myelination changes associated with IUGR. Thus, this study aims to quantify and compare the MWF of non-IUGR and IUGR fetal guinea pigs (GPs) in late gestation. Our s le consisted of 22 pregnant Dunkin-Hartley GPs with 71 fetuses (34 male) [mean ± standard deviation: 60 ± 1.2 days gestation]. Eight SPGR volumes [flip angles (α): 2° – 16°], and two sets of 8 bSSFP volumes (α: 8° – 64°), at 0° and 180° phase increments were acquired at 3.0 T. MWF maps were generated for each fetal GP brain using multicomponent driven equilibrium single pulse observation of T 1 /T 2 (mcDESPOT). Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed in the fetal corpus callosum (CC), fornix (FOR), and parasagittal white matter (PSW). Linear regression was performed between five fetal IUGR markers [body volume (BV), body-to-pregnancy volume ratio (BPrVR), brain-to-liver VR (BLVR), brain-to-placenta VR (BPlVR), and brain-to-BVR (BBVR)] and MWF for all regions (coefficient of determination, R 2 ). A t-test with a linear mixed model compared the MWF of non-IUGR and IUGR fetal GPs for all three regions (α = 0.05). The MWF values are as follows: (mean ± standard deviation): 0.23 ± 0.02 (fetal CC), 0.19 ± 0.02 (fetal CC – IUGR), 0.31 ± 0.02 (fetal FOR), 0.27 ± 0.01 (fetal FOR – IUGR), 0.28 ± 0.02 (fetal PSW), and 0.24 ± 0.03 (fetal PSW – IUGR). Significant differences in MWF were found between the non-IUGR and IUGR fetuses in every region. In conclusion, the mean MWF of IUGR fetal GPs is significantly lower than non-IUGR fetal GPs.

Abstract: The Vygotskian concept of perezhivanie , or emotional lived experience, was adopted to examine the learner identities of 2 Japanese university students in English language learning. Current studies on language learner identities have given analytic primacy to either psychological processes or social influences. In contrast, perezhivanie offers a holistic unit of analysis for examining simultaneous influences derived from internal and external realms on identity pursuits. Misaki and Hina participated in a 60‐minute interview designed to understand their English learning experiences and how they made sense of them in school and university settings. In addition, a series of class observations—each followed by an informal interview—were conducted to examine their learning experiences in a conversational English course. Their reflective postings on the course online blog were also collected. The analytical process located identifiable instances of perezhivanie ( perezhivaniya ), based on participants’ memorable events or personally significant moments, and elaborated how these perezhivaniya brought forth different learner identities. Using the concept of perezhivanie , this study draws attention to a dynamic perspective on researching language‐learner identities that foregrounds an identity‐making process whereby students relived, refracted, and transformed through emotional–cognitive events or episodes characterized by complex transactions between the person and context.

Abstract: Alterations in glycolysis and oxidative pathways are central to the increasing incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), highlighting a need for in vivo , non-invasive technologies to understand the development of hepatic metabolic aberrations in lean NAFLD. To use hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) MRI techniques to investigate effects of a chronic, life-long exposure to the Western Diet (WD) in a model of NAFLD and identify cellular metabolite changes and correlations related to enzyme activity. It is hypothesized that exposure to the WD will result in NAFLD in association with altered pyruvate metabolism. Prospective POPULATION/SUBJECTS/PHANTOM/SPECIMEN/ANIMAL MODEL: 28 male guinea pigs were weaned onto a control diet or WD. 3T T1, T2, IDEAL, broadband PRESS MRS. Median PDFF was calculated in the liver and hind limbs. [1- 13 C]pyruvate dynamic MRS in the liver was quantified by the time to peak (TTP), calculated as the time from pyruvate peak to metabolite peak. After a recovery period, animals were euthanized, and tissue was analyzed for lipid and cholesterol concentration and enzyme level and activity. Unpaired Student’s t-tests were used to determine differences in measurements between the two diet groups. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine correlations between measurements. Life-long WD consumption resulted in significantly higher liver PDFF correlated with elevated triglyceride content in the liver. The WD group exhibited a decreased TTP for lactate production, and ex vivo analysis highlighted increased liver lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. DATA CONCLUSION: PDFF MRI results suggest differential fat deposition patterns occurring in animals fed a life-long WD, corresponding with increased liver triglyceride levels characteristic of lean NAFLD. The decreased liver lactate TTP and increased ex vivo LDH activity suggest lipid accumulation occurs in association with a shift from oxidative metabolism to anaerobic glycolytic metabolism in WD livers.

Abstract: Growth in the international school sector continues, with significant expansion of the sector in Asia. Whilst substantial research has been conducted on the adjustment experience of tertiary-aged students, limited research attention has been given to school-aged students in international schools. The environment, conditions and challenges experienced by school-aged international students can differ considerably from those of tertiary-aged international students. This can be heightened during early-adolescence with adjustment from school mobility linked to many negative developmental outcomes. The present study investigates wellbeing, engagement and resilience of 178 early-adolescent international school students (aged 10-14) from an international school in Singapore that offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the national curriculum of England. Results reported a positive significant association between wellbeing, engagement and resilience constructs. The study also identified demographic and mobility characteristics that were associated with lower levels of wellbeing, behavioural engagement and resilience. Findings of the study highlight a potential cohort of early-adolescent international students who could benefit from additional support.

Abstract: Low enrolment and high attrition rates are pressing issues facing school music in Australia. Based on a sociocognitive perspective, the current study explored music teachers’ perceptions of the extent of, reasons for, and factors influencing continuing enrolment in music. The findings showed that both classroom and instrumental music teachers perceived a general decline in student enrolment in music in high school. However, instrumental teachers perceived that relatively higher percentages of students tended to continue with instrumental music. Music teachers ranked the importance of various cognitive and social factors relevant to students’ continuing and discontinuing participation in music learning in school. Regression analyses showed that parental support and a quality music programme were significant factors predicting teachers’ perceptions of student persistence levels in instrumental and classroom music respectively. The paper ends with a discussion on the development of reformative music pedagogy.

Abstract: Fetal myelination assessment is important for understanding neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. Myelin water imaging (MWI) quantifies myelin water fraction (MWF), a validated marker for myelin content, and has been used to assess brain myelin in children and neonates. To demonstrate that MWI can quantify MWF in fetal guinea pigs (GPs). Animal model. Nine pregnant, Dunkin-Hartley GPs with 31 fetuses (mean ± standard deviation = 60 ± 1.5 days gestation). 3D spoiled gradient echo and balanced steady-state free precession sequences at 3.0 T. MWF maps were reconstructed for maternal and fetal GP brains using the multicomponent driven equilibrium single pulse observation of T Linear regression between MWF and MBP stain intensity (SI) of all four regions (coefficient of determination, R The mean MWF of the analyzed regions are as follows (mean ± standard deviation): 0.338 + 0.016 (maternal CC), 0.340 ± 0.017 (maternal FOR), 0.214 ± 0.016 (fetal CC), and 0.305 ± 0.025 (fetal FOR). MWF correlated with MBP SI in all regions (R This study demonstrated the feasibility of MWI in assessing fetal brain myelin content. 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1.

Abstract: This meta-analysis examined if students’ writing performance is improved by reading interventions in studies (k = 54 experiments 5,018 students) where students were taught how to read and studies (k = 36 investigations 3,060 students) where students’ interaction with words or text was increased through reading or observing others read. Studies included in this review involved true- or quasi-experiments (with pretests) written in English that tested the impact of a reading intervention on the writing performance of students in preschool to Grade 12. Studies were not included if the control condition was a writing intervention, treatment students received writing instruction as part of the reading intervention (unless control students received equivalent writing instruction), control students received a reading intervention (unless treatment students received more reading instruction than controls), study attrition exceeded 20%, less than 10 students were included in any experimental condition, and students attended a special school for students with disabilities. As predicted, teaching reading strengthened writing, resulting in statistically significant effects for an overall measure of writing (effect size [ES] = 0.57) and specific measures of writing quality (ES = 0.63), words written (ES = 0.37), or spelling (ES = 0.56). The impact of teaching reading on writing was maintained over time (ES = 0.37). Having students read text or observe others interact with text also enhanced writing performance, producing a statistically significant impact on an overall measure of writing (ES = 0.35) and specific measures of writing quality (ES = 0.44) or spelling (ES = 0.28). These findings provide support that reading interventions can enhance students’ writing performance.

To use hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to investigate the effects of a chronic, life‐long exposure to the Western diet (WD) in an animal model resulting in NAFLD to investigate the hypothesis that exposure to the WD will result in NAFLD in association with altered pyruvate metabolism. Prospective. Twenty‐eight male guinea pigs weaned onto a control diet ( N = 14) or WD ( N = 14). 3 T T1‐weighted gradient echo, T2‐weighted spin‐echo, three‐dimensional gradient multi‐echo fat‐water separation (IDEAL‐IQ), and broadband point‐resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) chemical‐shift sequences. Median PDFF was calculated in the liver and hind limbs. [1‐ 13 C]pyruvate dynamic MRS in the liver was quantified by the time‐to‐peak (TTP) for each metabolite. Animals were euthanized and tissue was analyzed for lipid and cholesterol concentration and enzyme level and activity. Unpaired Student's t ‐tests were used to determine differences in measurements between the two diet groups. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine correlations between measurements. Life‐long WD consumption resulted in significantly higher liver PDFF and elevated triglyceride content in the liver. The WD group exhibited a decreased TTP for lactate production, and ex vivo analysis highlighted increased liver lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. PDFF MRI results suggest differential fat deposition patterns occurring in animals fed a life‐long WD characteristic of lean, or lacking excessive subcutaneous fat, NAFLD. The decreased liver lactate TTP and increased ex vivo LDH activity suggest lipid accumulation occurs in association with a shift from oxidative metabolism to anaerobic glycolytic metabolism in WD‐exposed livers. 2 1

Abstract: Abnormal maternal lipid profiles, a hallmark of increased maternal adiposity, are associated with pregnancy complications such as preecl sia and gestational diabetes, and offspring long-term metabolic health is impacted as the consequence of altered fetal growth, physiology and often iatrogenic prematurity. The metabolic changes associated with maternal obesity and/or the consumption of a high-fat diet effecting maternal lipid profiles and metabolism have also been documented to specifically affect placental function and may underlie changes in fetal development and life course disease risk. The placenta plays a critical role in mediating nutritional signals between the fetus and the mother. As obesity rates in women of reproductive age continue to increase, it is becoming evident that inclusion of new technologies that allow for a better understanding of early changes in placental lipid transport and metabolism, non-invasively in maternal circulation, maternal tissues, placenta, fetal circulation and fetal tissues are needed to aid timely clinical diagnosis and treatment for obesity-associated diseases. This review describes pregnancy lipid homeostasis, with specific reference to changes arising from altered maternal body composition on placental and fetal lipid transport and metabolism. Current technologies for lipid assessments, such as metabolomics and lipidomics may be impacted by labour or mode of delivery and are only reflective of a single time point. This review further addresses how established and novel technologies for assessing lipids and their metabolism non-invasively and during the course of pregnancy may guide future research into the effect of maternal metabolic health on pregnancy outcome, placenta and fetus.
