TL;DR: This article found that students' level of competence in their original tongue and in English, the language of their regular schooling, were significant influences on mathematical performance and that bilingualism should not be taken as a unidimensional entity when carrying out research and when making educational decisions.
Abstract: There has been continuing discussion in the literature as to the effects of bilingualism on cognitive tasks. Much of the research has been carried out with immigrant students in developed countries. This study is set in a developing country and was based on the theoretical work of Cummins. Grade 6 students from five urban Community Schools in Papua New Guinea completed several mathematics and language tests, a survey form eliciting information on home background, and a test of cognitive development. The data supported the thesis that students' level of competence in their original tongue and in English, the language of their regular schooling, were significant influences on mathematical performance. In particular these results supported Cummins's threshold hypothesis. They also support the notion that bilingualism should not be taken as a unidimensional entity, and that allowance should be made for its multidimensional nature when carrying out research and when making educational decisions.

TL;DR: Characteristics of auditory processing disorders (APD) are described by evaluating the literature in which children with suspected or diagnosed APD were compared with typically developing children and to determine whether APD must be regarded as a deficit specific to the auditory modality or as a multimodal deficit.
Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this review article is to describe characteristics of auditory processing disorders (APD) by evaluating the literature in which children with suspected or diagnosed APD were compared with typically developing children and to determine whether APD must be regarded as a deficit specific to the auditory modality or as a multimodal deficit. Method Six electronic databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies investigating children with (suspected) APD in comparison with typically developing peers. Relevant studies were independently reviewed and appraised by 2 reviewers. Methodological quality was quantified using the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's levels of evidence. Results Fifty-three relevant studies were identified. Five studies were excluded because of weak internal validity. In total, 48 studies were included, of which only 1 was classified as having strong methodological quality. Significant dissimilarities were found between children referred with listening d...

TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of cultivating positive beliefs that hypertension is amenable to control by treatment, and the adherence behavior of those of younger individuals and living with family should be closely monitored.
Abstract: Background/Objectives: Effective prevention of cardiovascular events in people with hypertension requires optimal control of blood pressure Despite advances in management, poor adherence to antihypertensive medications is often reported as the major reason attenuating treatment efficacy Research has provided limited evidence of associations between illness perceptions, satisfaction with consultations, and medication adherence The aim of this study is to identify factors significantly associated with medication adherence in a group of Chinese older adults with essential hypertension Design/Setting/Participants: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted Data were collected from 195 older adults (mean [SD] age, 76 [66] years) recruited from 12 community centers Measurements: The Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised was used to measure illness perceptions, and the Medical Interview Satisfaction Scale was used to measure satisfaction with individual consultations The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale was used to measure the extent of adherence to antihypertensive medications Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine factors, including illness perceptions, consultation satisfaction, and demographic and clinical characteristics, that were significantly associated with medication adherence Results: More than half of the respondents (559%) acknowledged some degree of medication nonadherence Older age, living alone, and perception related to treatment control were independently associated with increased odds of medication adherence, with odds ratios ranging from 114 to 192 (P <05) Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of cultivating positive beliefs that hypertension is amenable to control by treatment Furthermore, the adherence behavior of those of younger individuals and living with family should be closely monitored
