Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

25.0K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Parental Care

13.0K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

317
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Area of Science:

  • Child Nutrition
  • Behavioral Science
  • Mobile Health

Background:

  • Low vegetable intake in young children is linked to chronic diseases.
  • The mobile application Mommio aims to train mothers in effective vegetable parenting strategies.
  • Mommio is an evolved version of an earlier game, Kiddio, which underwent prior alpha testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To alpha test the initial quest of the Mommio mobile application.
  • To validate previous findings from the Kiddio alpha test.
  • To gather feedback on new game features for developing an effective parenting game.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty mothers of preschool children participated in the study.
  • Participants played a single quest of Mommio 2-4 times.
  • Post-play, semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Mothers generally perceived Mommio as realistic and engaging.
  • Some users experienced challenges with the 3-D environment navigation.
  • Tips and hints were appreciated, with desires for more customization and expansion.

Conclusions:

  • The study supported earlier findings regarding the game's potential.
  • Mommio players reported higher enjoyment levels compared to Kiddio players.
  • Future development will focus on improving user-friendly mechanics, customization, and interactive elements.
