Published: July 2024

With the continuous development of prefabricated buildings, their quality issues are getting more and more attention. With a view to improving the risk management of the qualitative aspects of prefabricated buildings, determine the whole process quality risk indicators for prefabricated buildings from the whole life cycle. Risk factors are identified through literature research and questionnaire survey method, and the whole process quality risk assessment model of prefabricated building is constructed based on social network analysis. Combined with the specific quality risk indicators network role analysis to determine the key risks, the study found that the design and construction stages are where key risk factors are most likely to be present, respectively, the design of the actual constructability is poor, the design of the integration is insufficient, the field workers are inexperienced in construction, the actual feasibility of the construction is poor, the construction equipment is not advanced enough. Targeted coping strategies are proposed according to the key risks.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are extensively used in veterinary practice. COX-2 inhibitors are considered to be safer than non-selective inhibitors; however, there are few studies address of their long-term use in equine species. The goal of this study was to identify the possible adverse effects of meloxicam (a preferential COX-2 inhibitor) in healthy horses, administered at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg, orally, once a day, for 28 days. A paired test was performed with seven animals, and the clinical, hematological, biochemical, and gastroscopic parameters, as well as bleeding time, were evaluated in five timepoints and an electrocardiogram at three timepoints. No relevant adverse effects were observed in terms of the parameters evaluated. Significant differences were found in heart rate, AST and P wave duration, segmented neutrophils (%), and the levels of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCH, compared with these parameters at T0; however, no animal manifested clinical alterations. Gastroscopy revealed discrete lesions (Grade 1) in the squamous gastric mucosa on day 14 of treatment in all animals; however, at the end of the study (day 28) these lesions had regressed to grade 0 in three of the horses and remained at grade 1 in the other four animals. Based on these results, we conclude that the use of meloxicam at a daily dose of 0.6 mg/kg, orally, for 28 consecutive days, did not cause relevant adverse effects in healthy horses.

Published: July 2024

No primeiro edital do Programa de Residência Pedagógica de 2018, a Universidade Federal do Rio de janeiro não aderiu ao programa por acreditar que o referido edital feria sua autonomia em relação aos estágios e que trazia em seu bojo uma concepção instrumental de aplicação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Em 2022, com o lançamento de novo edital do PRP, avaliou-se que os problemas do edital anterior tinham sido resolvidos, possibilitando a adesão da UFRJ ao programa. O presente artigo analisa as atividades desenvolvidas no subprojeto “O ensino de literatura de 6º a 9º ano: teorias e práticas para formação de leitores literários” em três escolas federais: Colégio de Aplicação da UFRJ, Colégio Pedro II – Tijuca e Colégio Pedro II – Engenho Novo. A escolha dessas séries se deveu por muitos não considerarem que se ensine literatura nesse nível de ensino por ligarem a literatura ao Ensino Médio e à historiografia literária. As atividades desenvolvidas nessas três unidades escolares privilegiaram a constituição de comunidades de leitores e a educação literária (COLOMER, 2011) pensando na atuação dos residentes como futuros professores e formadores de leitores de literatura na escola.

Authors: Elsobky Fatma , Kandil Faten , behilak Sahar , Mohamed Ishraga , Tag Hend
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims:
Dysmenorrhea poses a significant health challenge, affecting not only the daily lives and quality of life of female students but also presenting implications for healthcare providers. This research aimed to assess the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and explore how female students manage its symptoms, focusing particularly on their self-initiated strategies to alleviate discomfort.

Methods:
Employing a descriptive cross-sectional methodology, this investigation was carried out at Alghad International College for females. A sample of 107 students was selected through convenience sampling. Data collection methods included structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires for every student, with the first part gathering baseline characteristics of the participants. The subsequent parts evaluated the menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea history and experiences, its impact on physical and psychological well-being, and the self-management techniques employed.

Results:
Findings indicated that a significant portion of the participants, 59.8%, experienced moderate pain due to dysmenorrhea, with many reporting that heat did not alleviate their symptoms. Moreover, a large majority of respondents—74.8%, 76.6%, and 72% of school custodians concurred on the lack of exercise as a method for managing dysmenorrhea.

Conclusions:
The study concluded that extended menstrual periods and the presence of blood clots are potent predictors of dysmenorrhea among female students, who generally demonstrated inadequate self-management skills for dealing with dysmenorrhea. Recommendations: The study advocates for enhanced educational and awareness efforts regarding dysmenorrhea. It emphasizes the importance of encouraging students suffering from dysmenorrhea to seek further consultation and assistance from healthcare professionals.
Article: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Overlooked Procedural Deficiencies in ICSID’s Annulment Structure
Authors: Rosenberg Daniel
Published: July 2024

i style=""Over the past several decades, the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes’ annulment procedure has proved an object of consternation for states and investors alike. The substantive principles of Article 52 of the ICSID Convention are commonly criticized as either too expansive or too narrow. The author contends that this criticism is misplaced, however, and that it is procedural deficiencies which will plague ICSID’s annulment proceedings in this time of broad investor-state dispute reform. Overconcentration of annulment committee appointment and challenge power in the hands of the Chairman of the ICSID Committee and ICSID Secretariat, compounded by continued problems of ‘double-hatting’ at the annulment level, threaten the due process rights and autonomy of parties to ICSID annulments. The author proposes a feasible restructuring of annulment appointment and challenge procedure under the ICSID Arbitration Rules as a potential rectification of these procedural flaws, including a dispersal of appointment power, a new pool system for annulment panel members, and the creation of an independent review body to consider challenges to annulment panel members.

Published: July 2024

Relevance. In the assessment process, correctness, logic and reasonableness of answers are the main aspects in determining a student�s level of achievement. The issue of creating a unified assessment system is relevant in connection with the new challenges faced by education: COVID-19 and numerous wars, which created the need for distance learning, and this leads to difficulties in adequate assessment. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to identify new methods of student assessment that can replace testing, and ways in which it is possible to create control over the assessment of all parameters of education. Methodology. The study used such methods as analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and comparison. Results. The findings showed that the main flaw in the use of testing was the incomplete determination of students� knowledge through inaccuracy and unreliability of verification. Verbal answers such as �yes� and �no� fit well into the test scoring methodology, but do not reflect the analytical abilities of the test takers. With the test method, the correct answer can be chosen at random from the five choices given and the student gains the ability to memorise the correct answer from the five choices. Conclusions. The results of the study allow identifying and evaluating the parameters of the educational process, including the ability to improve the assessment criteria. This, in turn, will enable the creation of criterion-based education in schools, i.e., the assessment of students� knowledge according to the parameters, and the quality and skills of teachers and the educational institution itself. Keywords: student rating; criteria results; teachers; formative indicators; summative scores

Published: July 2024

Relevance. School bullying is a widespread problem that requires effective prevention strategies. However, many teachers and educational psychologists lack sufficient knowledge and skills to address bullying. There is a need to better prepare future educational psychologists to prevent and intervene in bullying situations. Purpose. The purpose of the research article is to develop and test an elective course for training future educational psychologists in bullying prevention in Kazakhstan schools. Methodology. An elective course titled �Prevention of school bullying: from theory to practice� was developed and implemented with third-year bachelor's students in Pedagogy and Psychology at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. The course included theoretical and practical components. Students' knowledge and skills were assessed before and after the course using tests and case studies. Results. Prior to the course, most students demonstrated low levels of knowledge and skills related to bullying prevention. After completing the course, students in the experimental group showed significant improvements, with 64% reaching a high level of competency compared to 0% in the control group. The course helped students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for addressing bullying. Conclusions. The elective course was effective in developing future educational psychologists' professional competencies for bullying prevention. Recommendations are provided for improving bullying prevention efforts in Kazakhstan schools, including raising awareness, providing training for teachers and psychologists, and maintaining communication with parents. The study demonstrates the importance of practice-oriented training in preparing educational psychologists to address school bullying.

Threshold Concepts and Conceptual Change Processes
Authors: Bhola Shaily , Parchoma Gale
Published: July 2024

This paper reviews the idea of threshold concepts in the context of conceptual change processes students experience at the cognitive and social dimensions of learning.  Literature suggests the role of students’ ontological views in the development of their prior conceptions, which could be alternative to scientifically accepted ideas.  It is proposed that students may be able to negotiate such troublesome concepts in a productive way as they engage in the meaning-making process with peers.  Moreover, the social negotiation of knowledge can influence the conceptual change processes students experience in a discipline.  This paper will serve as a theoretical benchmark towards designing a study that will focus on exploring how peer to peer collaboration supports the understanding of chemistry threshold concepts.
Flexible Approaches to Using Online Case Data When Coupled with Textbook Based Case Studies in Medical Sciences Teaching and Learning
Authors: Hall David
Published: July 2024

Case studies are commonly used to anchor important theoretical concepts with carefully guided use of practical experience. This session explored approaches and methodologies for effective and creative use of coupling online case study resources with text book case studies in order to enhance learning. An illustrative example referred to use of a textbook of case studies in One Health (i.e., the factors and health outcomes related to the interaction of animals, humans, and their environment) to be published in 2016 that is coupled with online data, visual resources, and testimonials. Coupling textbooks of medical case studies in particular with online additional data is not new, although there was no record found of a learning situation using medical case studies in which prescriptive step-by-step instructional guidance for using online data is deliberately avoided and instead students are encouraged to rely on their own creativity. Benefits of avoiding a prescriptive approach include a more realistic learning experience for clinicians, latitude for use of personally preferred learning styles, and more opportunities for creativity in the teaching and learning process. Participants in the session reflected on their own teaching and learning style preferences to contribute to discussion of how required use of online case study data might stimulate or suppress their creativity, both for teachers and students. Barriers included lack of consistency in audience demographic making it more challenging to provide a consistent learning experience and poor attention to context of application of case study lessons; catalysts included some degree of guided process for stimulating use of case study materials, supervision of discussion to facilitate sufficient interaction for learning, and adequate funding for preparing and hosting case study materials.
The Role of Interactive Digital Simulations in Student Conversations About Visualizing Molecules
Authors: Carpenter Yuen-ying , Sullivan Erin Rae
Published: July 2024

The visualization of chemical compounds in three-dimensions is a foundational skill in the study and practice of chemistry and related fields, and one which has the potential to be supported by interaction with virtual models. Here, we present a collaborative learning activity piloted in first-year chemistry which investigates if inquiry-driven interactive technology can contribute meaningfully to student conversations around this topic, and how students’ conversations and practices may shift when driven by feedback from an interactive simulation. Our initial observations from this pilot project suggest that students engaged in collaborative sense-making and discussion around key ideas throughout this activity. Students’ post-activity reflections also highlighted their positive experiences and increased confidence with the topic afterwards. The unique dynamics of these interactions lead us to propose a novel framing of interactive visualizations as participants rather than merely as resources in student learning conversations.
Problem-Based Learning, Assessment Literacy, Mathematics Knowledge, and Competencies in Teacher Education
Authors: Koh Kim , Chapman Olive
Published: July 2024

Problem-based learning could have a great impact in teacher education not only to support prospective teachers’ learning, but also to help them to design and implement learner-centered experiences to satisfy requirements of reform-based curriculum. In this paper, we discuss the nature and role of problem-based learning to support authentic learning opportunities in an undergraduate teacher education program. We address its use in an educational assessment course aimed at developing prospective teachers’ assessment literacy and competencies. We focus on two sections of the course for elementary school prospective teachers in which students were also engaged in activities involving assessment in teaching mathematics and share examples of the content of the course. A study of the impact of the course on the students’ knowledge is in progress.
The Role of Authentic Assessment Tasks in Problem-Based Learning
Authors: Koh Kim , Delanoy Nadia , Thomas Christy , Bene Rose , Chapman Olive , Turner Jeff , Danysk Gail , Hone Gabrielle
Published: July 2024

Problem-based Learning (PBL) has long been touted as an effective pedagogical approach in higher education to promote students’ authentic learning. As a learner-centered pedagogy, PBL is characterized by students working collaboratively in small groups to solve messy, ill-structured problems that mirror real-world problems encountered by expert professionals in the field. Students are also expected to engage in self-directed learning. PBL instructors play a pivotal role as facilitators of learning. Authentic assessment is deemed to be a viable method in PBL-oriented courses because of its focus on real-world problems. However, little is known about how instructors in higher education institutions perceive the importance of and their satisfaction in using authentic assessment in PBL-oriented courses. Specifically, what instructional decisions do they make to guide their students to use authentic assessment tasks to promote assessment for learning and assessment as learning? In this paper, we reported on instructors’ perspectives of using authentic assessment tasks to engage first-year student teachers in an assessment course.

Relationships Between Five-Factor Personality Theory and Values on Adolescents
Authors: Uçar Mehmet Ertuğrul , Konal Bilge
Published: July 2024

Values are a set of principles that guide human life. Their importance can vary from person to person. Schwartz's concept of value is defined as guiding principles in the lives of people or other social formations. These include freedom, equality, and environmental protection. Schwartz created 10 basic value groups that are thought to have universal characteristics. The aforementioned values are divided into the following groups: self-direction, universality, benevolence, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, conformity, and tradition. According to Schwartz, spiritual values in individuals are associated with the dimensions of universality, benevolence, self-direction, and self-transcendence. At the same time, it seems that spirituality overlaps with the values of tradition and conformity, which are closely related to religiosity. In contrast, personality refers to a set of unique, consistent, and enduring characteristics in individuals, encompassing their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. McCrae and Costa posit that personality traits are grouped under five dimensions: extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. Some personality theories posit that spirituality is a part of personality. In this respect, personality and spirituality are closely related. The principal objective of this research is to ascertain whether the personality dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience are predictive of values pertaining to security, power, benevolence, stimulation, traditionalism, hedonism, universalism, self-direction, achievement, and conformity. To this end, a multiple regression model incorporating these variables was constructed and subjected to testing in the study. The study group consisted of 308 high school students studying in Niğde in the 2021-2022 academic year. The study group comprised 173 women (56.2%) and 135 men (43.8%). The ages of the study group ranged between 14 and 18 years (mean age = 16.39; standard deviation = 0.87). The results of the regression analysis indicated that personality dimensions predicted the values. It was found that different personality dimensions predicted different values in a positive or negative manner.

Relationship Between Exchange Rate and Inflation in Afghanistan
Authors: Jamal Ahmad Zamir , Khairkhwa Mujtaba
Published: July 2024

Afghanistan is an import dependent country and has been facing perpetual trade balance deficit for decades. In case of imperfect competition in the market or existence of market monopoly, there is a higher chance of reflecting the exchange rate changes on the prices of the goods. In Addition, countries with low level of domestic production and higher amounts of imports usually experience higher degree of the exchange rate pass-through effect on inflation. Countries with high import volumes and low export levels often face a deficit in foreign currency inflows and an excess in outflows. These countries need substantial foreign currency to purchase and import goods from both neighboring and international markets, increasing domestic demand for foreign currencies and consequently leading to domestic currency depreciation. This study investigated the relationship between exchange rates and inflation in Afghanistan, examining how exchange rates impact inflation and the benefits associated with exchange rate mechanisms. The primary research questions include: What is the relationship between exchange rates and inflation in Afghanistan? How does the exchange rate influence inflation in the country? What are the benefits of exchange rate systems? The hypothesis posits that higher inflation typically depresses a country's currency value and that exchange rates directly affect inflation. Additionally, exchange rates determine the value of currency exchanges between different nations. This research aims to elucidate the relationship between exchange rates and inflation in Afghanistan, assess the impact of exchange rates on inflation, and explore the benefits of exchange rate systems. The methodology involves a binary system and utilizes secondary data collected from books, websites, and research papers. Findings indicate that Afghanistan's reliance on imports results in a persistent trade balance deficit, with a significant portion of goods, especially non-food items, being imported due to insufficient domestic production. To import goods, Afghanistan requires foreign currencies, which are typically earned through exports of goods and services as of a result, Afghanistan will experience stability in the exchange rate and in the domestic prices.

Published: July 2024

Sectio caesarean is a surgical process involving an incision that is very risky and causes many complications for the human body. One of the complications caused by an intra-cesarean section is hypothermia. Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it produces warmth. When the body temperature drops, the nervous system and other organs typically cannot function properly, which in turn affects the functioning of many other organs (Dafiani, 2021). This study aimed to determine the effect of a blanket warmer on the body temperature of intra-cesarean section patients to prevent hypothermia. This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design (pre-test–post-test with a control group design). Data were collected on intra-section cesarean patients. As many as 35 respondents had been given non-pharmacotherapy therapy in the form of a blanket warmer. The results of the analysis showed that most pregnant women were aged 20–35 years in the no-risk group (91.4%), cesarean section with absolute indication (68.6%), and cesarean section duration < 60 minutes (57.1%). The minimum body temperature of 35.7°C before receiving a blanket warmer, and a maximum body temperature of 36.6°C after receiving one. After carrying out statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test, a P-value of 0.000, or ≤ 0.05, was obtained. In conclusion, blanket warmers influence the incidence of intra-cesarean hypothermia at SMC Telogorejo Hospital. Suggestions for further research include developing variables that can disrupt the thermoregulation system, as well as comparing the use of tools other than blanket warmers to prevent hypothermia before surgery.
