The Effect of Scrabble Game on Students' Vocabulary Mastery of Grade Eight at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar
Authors: Daniel J.O Siringoringo  , Christian Neni Purba  , Asima Rohana Sinaga
Published: November 2023

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the reading aloud strategy on the pronunciation abilities of seventh grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. In this research, researchers used quantitative research methods with a quasi-experimental design and pre-test, post-test and control designs. The sample for this research consisted of class VIII students at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar with an average class size of 32 in the 2022–2023 academic year. There are around 288 students in class VIII. By using this technique, the sample that will be used in this research consists of two classes, namely class VIII-8 as the experimental class and class VIII-9 as the control class at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar. From the results of research conducted at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar, it was found that there was an influence of the application of the Scrabble game on mastery of mathematics. This can be seen from the students' average score in the test, namely pre-test 54.21 and post-test 76.09, while the researchers' learning results found that the t-test in this study was 2.14. Based on the previously designed hypothesis formulation, the hypothesis is not rejected if tcount is greater than ttable. The meaning of these results is that students who were taught to use the game Scrabble were better than students who did not use the game Scrabble in the classroom treatment process. After carrying out calculations, the researchers found that in this study the t-count was higher than the t-table. Referring to this, we can put forward the following hypothesis. t-count > t-table 5%, namely 2.14 > 1.670. Because the calculated t-value (2.14) is higher than the t-table (1.670) at the 5% significance level for a two-sided test, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, the Scrabble Game is very effective as a learning support medium, especially in improving mathematics mastery.

Adenocarcinomas of the Gynecologic Tract Involving the Urinary Bladder: A Series of 16 Cases Potentially Mimicking Urothelial Malignancy
Authors: Russell Daniel H. , Epstein Jonathan I. , Kryvenko Oleksandr N. , Schlumbrecht Matthew , Jorda Merce , Pinto Andre
Published: November 2023

Context.—

There is limited literature describing gynecologic adenocarcinomas involving the urinary bladder and potential diagnostic pitfalls.

Objective.—

To describe key features distinguishing metastatic (or extension of) gynecologic adenocarcinomas from urothelial carcinomas with glandular differentiation.

Design.—

Retrospective review of surgical pathology cases of gynecologic adenocarcinomas involving the bladder from 2 different institutions, retrieved from surgical pathology archives, was performed. Morphologic features were recorded, along with immunohistochemistry results when available. Electronic medical records were reviewed for clinical and radiographic information.

Results.—

Sixteen cases of gynecologic adenocarcinomas (9 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinomas, 4 endometrial serous carcinomas, 2 high-grade tubo-ovarian serous carcinomas, and 1 cervical adenosquamous carcinoma) involving the bladder were identified. All included cases had mucosal involvement potentially mimicking primary bladder neoplasms, including 4 cases originally diagnosed as urinary carcinomas. Tumors expressed keratin 7 (12 of 13; 92%), PAX8 (11 of 12; 92%), estrogen receptor (11 of 15; 73%), p16 (8 of 11; 73%), progesterone receptor (8 of 14; 57%), GATA3 (5 of 12; 42%), and p63 (3 of 11; 27%); all tumors were negative for keratin 20 (0 of 12). Features supportive of Müllerian origin included prior history of gynecologic malignancy, lack of morphologic heterogeneity in nonendometrioid tumors, and immunophenotypic coexpression of PAX8 and estrogen receptor with absent GATA3. Potential pitfalls seen in a subset of cases included misleading radiologic and cystoscopic findings, replacement of the overlying urothelial mucosa by tumor mimicking precursor lesions, focal GATA3 and/or p63 positivity, and areas of squamous differentiation in tumors of endometrioid histology.

Conclusions.—

A combination of clinical history, certain morphologic features, and proper selection of immunohistochemical stains is key for the correct diagnosis of secondary gynecologic adenocarcinomas involving the urinary bladder.

Authors:   Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, Karnataka, India, Pujari Harsha , Sandhu Preetpal ,   Bhojia Dental College and Hospital, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, India
Published: November 2023

Objective: The purpose of this work is to compare the incidence of dentinal defects in oval root canals with two different file systems and examine and contrast the creation of dentinal cracks using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a stereomicroscope during the root canal preparation process. Material and Method: Three groups of 15 were created from the sixty extracted human mandibular premolars: two were experimental and one was control. The experimental groups underwent root canal therapy. Group I the control group, did not receive any preparations. Group II is the Waldent walflex file and group III is the Trunatomy (TRN) file. After sectioning the roots at 3, 6, and 9 mm from the apex, the surfaces were examined with a stereomicroscope and SEM. Results: The data were examined using the Chi-square test. There were no fissures in the untreated group. The area between 3mm and 6mm was where the cracks in Waldent Walflex were most evident. There was no statistically significant difference between the experimental groups at either the 6 mm or 9 mm levels (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, each rotary file utilized in the testing caused dentinal cracks. Compared to the Trunatomy file group, the Waldent walflex file group has more errors. The apical area of the samples had much more defects than the median and coronal regions.

Published: November 2023

Case Description: 33-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who came to the emergency department for abdominal pain of sudden onset associated with a change in the color of the peritoneal fluid. Clinical Findings: The patient had signs of systemic inflammatory response and generalized abdominal pain, with marked leukocyte response in peritoneal fluid cytochemistry. Treatment and Outcome: Empirical antibiotic treatment was started targeting the most prevalent microorganisms in abdominal infections associated with peritoneal dialysis, however with poor response to it and subsequent isolation of Haemophilus Influenzae for which antibiotherapy was modified with subsequent progressive clearance of peritoneal fluid and resolution of symptoms. Clinical Relevance: We describe the case of a patient on peritoneal dialysis who presented a bacterial peritonitis caused by H. Influenzae, an extremely infrequent germ in this type of infections. Although the presence of this germ is exceptional in peritoneal dialysis catheter-associated peritonitis, this microorganism should be ruled out in a patient with catheter-associated peritonitis that does not respond to the usual antibiotic therapy. To our knowledge only 8 cases have been reported in the literature and none in our setting.
Use of EIs in Vapour Phase Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination Cycle Optimisation and Rapid Validation
Authors:   Scientist, Microbiology, New Modalities and Parenteral Development, Pharmaceutical Technology & Development, Operations,  AstraZeneca, United Kingdom., Dew Callum
Published: November 2023

AstraZeneca investigated the use of Enzymatic Indicators (EIs) in order to optimise their Sterility Testing Isolator gassing cycles. The quantitative nature of the EI data has enabled identification and successful validation of an optimised cycle, which has halved the original gassing cycle, leading to reduced costs, reduced periods of Isolator downtime and increased overall productivity. When completing the validation, the EI data was also used to provide greater confidence in the instance of erroneous Biological Indicator results, and as such has also expedited validation of a new ‘wet’ vaporised H2O2 generator. In addition, the EI data provided increased data across the sterility isolator chamber, allowing for confidence that sufficient cycle decontamination is achieved in all challenge locations, and as such there is no risk of BI failures upon requalification. EIs are therefore regarded as a beneficial companion for BI data when looking to optimise productivity of current isolators, and when used for validation of new equipment.

Published: November 2023

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the name of the microorganism that causes tuberculosis. The bacteria typically affect the lungs, but if not adequately treated, it can affect any part of the body, such as the kidney, spine, and brain. In Ethiopia, tuberculosis is a significant public health issue. However, no epidemiological research in the study area has been recorded. Objective: The study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis and associated risk factors PTB presumptive patients who visited the Finchawa Health Center from November 2022 to February 2023. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 273 study participants. Structured questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic and risk factor information. Sputum samples were taken from the study participants and analyzed under a microscope. Data were analyzed by using SPSS Version-25 software. Binary logistic regression analysis adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with respective 95% confidence interval (CI) and the threshold for statistical significance was set at p 0.05. Result: The prevalence of smear-positive Tb among presumptive patients was 4.8% with 95% CI (2.24–7.29). Prevalence of PTB with HIV co-infections, and PTB with diabetes mellitus (DM) comorbidity were 38.5%, and 27.3%, respectively. In comparison to their counterparts, having a family size greater than five (AOR = 5.15, 95% CI. = 1.46- 18.29), having a history of family contact (AOR = 6.7, 95% CI. = 1.78-22.99) and having a history of Tb infection (AOR = 4.76, 95% CI. I = 1.05-21.62) were all found to be predictors for developing smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion: The prevalence of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis in the Finchawa health center was found to be high. Therefore, zonal and town health departments should emphasize detailed tracing of presumptive, regular assessment of PTB suspects and refer to public health care institutions for early diagnosis and initiation of anti-TB treatment.

RELIGIOUS MOTIFS IN THE GRIMMS’ FAIRY TALES
Authors: Blažić Milena Mileva , Iseni Arburim
Published: November 2023

Gutenberg or Luther’s Bible  (1534) and the fairy tales of the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, titled Kinder- und Hausmärchen  (Children’s and Household Tales, 1812), are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List (2005). In the process of literary reception, the collection of 210 fairy tales received the popular name of Grimms’ Fairy Tales, from the first publication in 1812, and in the international space and literary science and folkloristics also the acronym KHM (Kinder- und Hausmärchen). The Brothers Grimm were brought up in the spirit of the Protestant ethic and used religious motifs, motif fragments and blind motifs and values (e.g. purity, diligence, duty, honesty, order and care) in legends, sagas (Doctor Luther at the Wartburg, 1521) and fairy tales, e.g., in Cinderella (asceticism), Little Red Riding Hood (decency), Snow White (mastery), The Frog King (duty). Criticism of the Pope can also be found, namely in the fairy tale The Fisherman and His Wife, in which, among others, the topic of the male or female Pope is discussed.

THE MIGRATION OF ALBANIANS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE FIRST TWO DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Authors: Mehmeti Armend
Published: November 2023

Economic, social and political conditions forced Albanians throughout the centuries to move abroad in search of a better life. Depending on time and circumstances Albanians migrated to Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Romania, etc., where they formed their communities. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new opportunity opened to Albanians - migration to the distant continent of America, previously unknown to Albanians. Many Albanians moved and settled in the USA. Initially, they faced numerous challenges, but later adapted to their new life. In order to preserve their culture and identity, they established an Albanian community in order to maintain their ties to their homeland. The article “The migration of Albanians to the United States of America - challenges and achievements during the first two decades of the twentieth century”, aims to elaborate on the circumstances that led to the migration of Albanians, the organization of the Albanian community in the US, challenges and achievements in the field of education and culture, as well as political activity in favor of the national issue during the first two decades of the twentieth century.

At the Sources of the Sacred: Evoking Nature and its Cults by Listening to the Rivers
Authors: Bourdeaux Pascal
Published: November 2023

Zones of fluvial influence, which were the cradles of many human societies both past and present, are key in today’s discourse on how to manage water, culture and heritage in ways that are compatible with sustainable development. Water/river customs have served environmental/cultural practices. This article discusses the interdependence or dissociation between “nature/water” and “culture,” which has forged a more or less strict dualism depending on specific religious frameworks. This dualism can be critically analyzed by sociology, phenomenology and political ecology. The relationship between the reverence accorded to the “sacred” and “nature” and how humans have maintained this respect is however not enough when addressing environmental crises. Could a new approach involve exploiting religious history to restore practical and moral meaning to contemporary challenges, including water-related environmental issues? Very few research programs or development projects really consider transdisciplinary and transcultural perspectives. A suggestion would be to combine the history of science, the comparative history of religious beliefs, the political sciences and cultural studies to define a “global history of religious ecology.” This would aid understanding of the multiplicity of religious conceptions of nature.
Intangible Heritage to Strengthen Local Water Management
Authors: Bakels Jet , Bisschop Chantal
Published: November 2023

Can intangible cultural heritage (ICH) help to reduce biodiversity loss and and water shortages related to climate change? Can it contribute to managing water shortages and surpluses on a local level? This article argues that some useful forms of intangible, “living” heritage offer valuable knowledge and practices that can serve as adaptive strategies in a changing environment. Binding practitioners to a specific place and to each other and connecting past and future generations, ICH can bring local knowledge and experience into the work field. The examples introduced here include grassland irrigation, water milling and hedge-laying: all used in the past, replaced by new inventions (e.g. fertilizers, new techniques for grinding grains and barbed wire taking the place of hedges respectively), and reintroduced because of their potential role in water management and ability to help create a climate-robust landscape. The valuable insights and practices of “citizen scientists” using these traditional techniques are too often overlooked by policy makers and academics.
Pondering the Past: Exploring the Synergy between Water Management and Heritage Management
Authors: Corten Jean-Paul
Published: November 2023

Because of the urgency of the current water challenges, we need to decide on a water-heritage agenda. In order to do so, we should first disentangle the sometimes confusing relationship between water management and heritage management. Where do water and heritage management meet and how can they serve each other? It is argued that fruitful synergy between the two disciplines can be reached in three dimensions: the historic dimension, the conservation dimension and the planning dimension. The subject of interaction between the two disciplines differs per dimension and relates to the changing water system, the heritage we cherish and a changing living environment respectively. The synergy to be reached between the two disciplines differs accordingly.
Water, through Words and Evils: The Case of Saint-Louis
Authors: Ndiaye Moustaph
Published: November 2023

Certain cultures portray the sacredness of water in rituals performed daily and to mark different stages of life. Water has been revered the home of protective spirits, according to myths and legends, such as those of the Serer people in Senegal. This spiritual connection between water and people, which has favored its preservation, has been undermined with the emergence of industrialization and urbanization. This shift in perception has led to water being viewed primarily as a commodity. The Island of Saint-Louis is faced with a paradox of benefits and challenges due to its colonial cultural heritage and unique deltaic condition. This article discusses the vulnerability of the site and its water heritage along with the opportunities it could bring for sustainable development of the island.
Climate Change and Fish Farming: Venetian “Fish Valleys” as a Design Device for Coastal Adaptation and Mitigation
Authors: Cipriani Laura , Destro Alessandro
Published: November 2023

Beginning in the fourteenth century, along the northeastern Italian coastline, Venetians began to create a series of hydraulic structures called “fishing valleys,” which combined aquaculture production with lagoon and seawater management. According to the current scenarios provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the coastal areas, where many historic fish farms still stand, will inevitably be affected by the rise in sea level. To be preserved, they will require some sort of water defense or possibly a managed retreat. Can we redesign traditional fish-farm systems as climate, economic and environmental adaptation devices? Through a series of design scenarios, this contribution explores how traditional fish farming can help redefine the territorial scale by addressing climate change and reviving existing production systems.
Caxambu Water and Heritage: Cultural and Environmental Strategies for Mineral Water Preservation
Authors: Alves Filipe Condé
Published: November 2023

This article examines civic commitments and legal frameworks that have defended public access to water by recognizing its cultural value. In Caxambu, Brazil, the local population has collected mineral water from natural springs for centuries. The water’s use is embedded in local social and cultural practices. However, over the last thirty years the water sources have become increasingly threatened by commercial and industrial interests. The local government and civic society have responded to the threat by creating protected areas and their efforts have culminated in the legal recognition of cultural intangible heritage as the basis for preserving water quality and ensuring access for future generations.

The Enlightenment of Confucian Philosophy on the Contemporary Youth’s Self-cultivation: An Analysis Based on the Text of The Analects of Confucius
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Tian Guangpeng
Published: November 2023

Youth play a vital role as the architects and heirs of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and their moral development holds immense significance for the future and destiny of the Chinese nation.

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Yu Yi
Published: November 2023

In recent years, with the expansion of university enrollments, there has been a continuous increase in the number of students. The traditional models of undergraduate training and student management in universities are now confronting various challenges. Academies have emerged as a novel educational management model, and several Chinese universities have gradually integrated academies into their systems. These institutions aim to realize a genuinely “student-centered” approach by applying innovative management and educational models. For counselors, who hold a crucial role in ideological and political education within universities, their responsibilities go beyond simple student management; their primary focus lies in the ideological and political education of students. The implementation of the academy system poses not only a challenge for counselors but also offers new opportunities for professional development. Therefore, addressing how to conduct ideological and political work effectively under the academy system has become an urgent issue warranting further investigation.

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Pu Shanshan
Published: November 2023

Abstract: The application of constructivist ideas in professional English writing teaching can help students construct meaningful understanding of course content while learning English, thereby improving their English writing and comprehension abilities. It enables students to explore course knowledge more deeply and ensures comprehensive improvement of students' professional English literacy under the influence of blended learning. Therefore, in the process of reforming and innovating professional English writing teaching activities, teachers should reexamine the guidance of constructivist ideas and choose constructivist theory, zone of proximal development theory, and input-output theory as guiding principles. They should explore group cooperative blended learning models, blended learning models in segmented classrooms, and blended learning models supported by communicative context creation. This approach effectively highlights the scientific and rational nature of educational reform and promotes high-quality advancement of professional English writing teaching.

In the contemporary educational environment, education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also guiding students’ values and personality shaping. In the era of digitization and networking, the role of teachers in teaching by verbal instruction and personal example remains crucial. Teachers are entrusted with the task of molding students through their own conduct and attitudes, both within and beyond the classroom, fostering their virtuous character and values. Ultimately, this paper proposes avenues to attain the objective of teaching by verbal instruction and personal example. Beyond the personal development and introspection of educators, it underscores the necessity for schools and society to collaborate in crafting an inclusive educational environment conducive to nurturing individuals possessing both professional competence and noble moral character.
