The authors of the article reveal the methodological features of the use of interactive teaching methods, which are the most popular among teachers when organizing and conducting training sessions with future military psychologists. The article states that the situation of a full-scale russion invasion of the territory of Ukraine requires the teachers of a higher military educational institution to use optimal ways of their militaryprofessional training during training of future psychologists. These are the ways of interactive teaching methods. Thus, the method of analyzing a specific situation is used in cases where it is necessary to analyze and professionally assess the difficult life situation of a serviceman by future military psychologist. Application of the business game method, which simulates the professional activity of future military psychologists, gives the latter the opportunity to feel like an active actor in a real military-professional situation. The article states that the teacher's use of the business game method in the educational process contributes to the transfer of accumulated long-term military psychological experience for future military psychologists. The authors draw the readers' attention to the fact that the active position of future military psychologists is actualized and reveals its behavioral manifestation in the business game. Describing the features of the use of "brainstorming" as an interactive method of training future military psychologists, the authors emphasize that this method allows the search for new ways of solving military psychological problems through the generation of non-standard ideas. The author's team emphasizes that "brainstorming" as an interactive learning method, contributes to the formation of future military psychologists' confidence in their professional knowledge. The round table method is aimed at developing the cognitive activity of future military psychologists. It is stated, that this method forms in future military psychologists the ability to argue their professional point of view.

Comparison of Nonergodic Ground-Motion Components from CyberShake and NGA-West2 Datasets in California
Authors: Meng Xiaofeng , Goulet Christine , Milner Kevin , Graves Robert , Callaghan Scott
Published: March 2023

In this study, we compare the Southern California Earthquake Center CyberShake platform against the Next Generation Attenuation-West2 empirical datasets. Because the CyberShake and empirical datasets cover very different magnitude ranges and site conditions, we develop ground-motion models (GMMs) for CyberShake datasets to compare trends with empirical GMMs and decompose the residuals for further analysis. We apply mixed effects regression to four CyberShake datasets in southern, central, and northern California at 2, 3, 5, and 10 s periods, and compare the results with the empirical datasets using the same approach. CyberShake captures the total variability of ground motions in the empirical datasets but tends to predict larger median ground motions relative to the empirical GMMs. We then calculate and compare the repeatable source-specific location, site, and path effects between CyberShake and empirical datasets. We find that the correlations of site effects between the CyberShake and empirical datasets are generally satisfactory, but the variability of site effects is slightly smaller for CyberShake datasets. There is no apparent correlation of source-specific location effects between the CyberShake and empirical datasets. Comparison of path effects shows a wide range of correlation coefficients. Finally, we investigate the source of observed differences between the CyberShake and empirical datasets. We attribute the larger median ground-motion levels in CyberShake to a combination of the homogeneous slip patterns of the earthquake ruptures, the low resolution of near-surface materials in the velocity models, and strong reflections at high-contrast boundaries in the velocity models. These factors also impact the correlations of site and path effects between the CyberShake and empirical datasets. Moreover, the leakage from location effects into site and path terms further weakens the correlations. In summary, we find that CyberShake could be improved, but it is still very useful to supplement empirical datasets for ground-motion studies, especially to inform their nonergodic components.

Published: March 2023

This manual aims to make it easier for teachers to deal with the problems of mentally disabled children in terms of social interaction. The development of the teacher's manual uses the 4-D model of Thiagarajan, S, Semmeln, D, S & Semmel MI (1974) which has been modified with the following stages: define, design, and develop. Data collection techniques are used in assessment instruments to obtain validation data, observations to obtain data on children's abilities during learning activities, and teacher responses to the personal social tutoring teacher manual with role-playing techniques. Data analysis used quantitative description. The results showed that using the teacher's manual in personal social guidance with role-playing techniques increased the social interaction of mentally disabled children. After giving ten times treatments to mentally disabled children, the social interaction of mentally disabled children increased. Mentally disabled children were able to interact with their friends step by step. Step independently. This can be seen from the results of the practical value of the teacher's manual is 2.7, and the value of the effectiveness of the teacher's manual is 3.0. So we can conclude that using the teacher's manual in personal social guidance with role-playing techniques to increase the social interaction of mentally disabled children in inclusive elementary schools is feasible.

Authors: KARASUBAŞI Öznur , GÜNGÖR SEYHAN Hatice
Published: March 2023

In this study, the effect of context-based learning (CBL) on Turkish students' science academic achievement was calculated using the meta-analysis method. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) 2.0 program was used to calculate the effect size. The effect size of the CBL on the achievement of the students was determined to be 0.928 and this result is interpreted as “large level” in the relevant literature (Cohen 1988; Thalheimer & Cook, 2002). It was determined that the effect of context-based learning on students' science academic achievement was p<0.05. According to all the results obtained within the scope of the research, it can be said that CBL has a significant effect on Turkish students' science academic achievement. As a result of the statistical calculations made within the scope of the research, it was concluded that context-based learning did not make a significant difference on the academic achievement of students in terms of teaching level and science field.
An Analytical Dataset of Approaches to V in Mozart
Authors: Brown Jenine , Tan Daphne , Lin Michelle
Published: March 2023

Tonal functions—tonic, pre-dominant, and dominant—are a standard feature of North American music theory. The pre-dominant (PD) encompasses the largest number of chords, varying in quality and scale degrees; unlike the tonic and dominant functions, it is primarily defined by its syntactical role, preceding the arrival of the dominant. While Western harmony textbooks consistently organize PD chords according to a regulative syntax (e.g., IV goes to ii), they differ on its rationale and are rarely explicit about the repertoire(s) on which it is based. Furthermore, while the PD is thought to be an essential element of cadential closure, the role of PDs at various formal locations is underexplored, be it in textbooks or corpus studies. To facilitate exploration of these claims for future research, we analyzed all 22 sonata-allegro movements from the Mozart piano sonatas and generated a new dataset containing every occurrence of V (including the Cad6/4), the three chords preceding each V, and their formal location.

Published: March 2023

Aim      This retrospective cohort study focused on evaluating the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) associated with administration of an atorvastatin loading dose (80 mg) prior to invasive coronary angiography (CAG) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Material and methods  This retrospective cohort study included 386 patients with STEMI. The patients were divided into two groups: intervention group (n=118) and control group (n=268). Patients in the intervention group, at the stage of admission to the catheterization laboratory, were administered a loading dose of atorvastatin (80 mg, p.o.) immediately before access (introducer placement). The endpoints were development of CIN, which was determined by increased serum creatinine 48 h following the intervention by at least 25% (or 44 µmol/l) of baseline value. In addition, in-hospital mortality and incidence of CIN resolution were assessed. To adjust the groups for dissimilar characteristics, a “pseudorandomization” method was used by comparing propensity scores.

Results The incidence of CIN was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (10.5 % vs. 24.4 %; p=0.016) with the odds for the CIN development lower than in the control group (odds ratio (OR) 0.36; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 0.16–0.85). Creatinine concentrations returned to the baseline value in 7 days more frequently than in the control group (66.3 % vs. 50.6 %, respectively; OR, 1.92; 95 % CI, 1.04–3.56; p=0.037). In-hospital mortality was higher in the control group but did not differ significantly between the groups.

Conclusion      ~Administration of atorvastatin 80 mg to STEMI patients immediately before CAG was associated with a reduced risk of CIN and a higher likelihood of serum creatinine returning to the values at admission by day 7.
Risk Assessment of Adverse Outcomes in Symptomatic Patients With Arterial Hypertension and Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Using THE HFA-PEFF Algorithm
Authors: Kobalava Z. D. , Safarova A. F. , Gudieva H. M. , Lukina O. I.
Published: March 2023

Aim      To study the incidence of heart failure (HF) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), symptoms of HF, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) ≥50 % using a novel, modified HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm and to evaluate the liver hydration status and density depending on the established HF profiles and the prognostic significance of this algorithm.

Material and methods  This study included 180 patients (median age, 72 years) with AH, symptoms of HF, and LV EF ≥50 %. The incidence of chronic HF with preserved ejection fraction (CHFpEF) was studied with the stepwise, modified HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm, and long-term outcomes were assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up. The hydration status was determined by a bioimpedance vector analysis, and the liver density was measured by indirect fibroelastometry. The following tests were performed for all patients: standard, general clinical and laboratory examination with evaluation of CH symptoms (including N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide test); extended echocardiography with assessment of structural and functional parameters of the heart; a KCCQ questionnaire was used for evaluation of patients’ condition and quality of life (QoL). Long-term outcomes were studied by phone calls at 3, 6, and 12 months following discharge from the hospital/visit (worsened QoL, repeated hospitalization for cardiovascular causes, cardiovascular death or all-cause death).

Results The following profiles were determined by the HFA-PEFF algorithm: with CHFpEF, with intermediate probability of HF, and without HF (58.9, 31.1, and 10 %, respectively). The study showed that patients with CHFpEF compared to patients of the intermediate group and without HF, had higher levels of brain natriuretic peptide, more pronounced signs of congestion according to results of the bioimpedance vector analysis and a higher liver density according to results of indirect fibroelastometry of the liver, which allowed identification of a group of patients with a high probability of CHFpEF. The diagnosis of HF by HFA-PEFF had an adverse prognostic significance with respect of worsened QoL according to the KCCQ questionnaire, and of repeated admission for HF during a year.

Conclusion      In AH patients with symptoms of HF and LV EF ≥50 %, CHFpEF was detected with the HFA-PEFF algorithm in 58.9 % of cases. Patients with AH and verified CHFpEF had a high incidence of hyperhydration and increased liver density. A diagnosis of CHFpEF by the HFA-PEFF algorithm had an adverse prognostic significance with respect of long-term outcomes.
El caso de Malagamba: impostura, fugas y atentados contra la propiedad en México, 1882-1912
Authors: Pulido Esteva Diego
Published: March 2023

El estudio histórico de los delitos contra la propiedad en México es todavía incipiente. Dentro de ese universo de transgresiones, los casos concernientes a fraudes y estafas apenas figuran en la historiografía mexicana. La importancia de este campo radica en la posibilidad de reconocer fenómenos sociales y culturales asociados a la modernización e identificados con el ethos porfiriano. Especialmente, permite examinar la conexión entre estas formas de delincuencia con la evolución de las comunicaciones, las tecnologías y, desde luego, el papel de las instituciones de control y sus contingencias. El propósito de este artículo es ampliar nuestro conocimiento sobre esos temas con base en la carrera delincuencial de Felipe Malagamba, un estafador que empleó varias identidades al cometer sus engaños.
Gender pay gap and inequality in China: Evolution and Challenges for equality. A spatio-temporal analysis
Authors: Xinbo Sun , Larraz Beatriz
Published: March 2023

Attention to gender equality is an important issue in the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This book analyses the wage inequality and the gender pay gap in China from a temporal and spatial point of view, using the wage surveys available from 1995 to the present. Due to their rapid growth since the country's entry into a free market economy, the analysis carried out in this book seems crucial. Our study highlights that China is currently facing serious problems of gender pay discrimination. It also finds that the earnings of coastal provinces are much higher than those of interior provinces. In terms of wage inequality, figures in China are currently high. The spatial analysis of wages distribution shows that there are very different realities throughout the Chinese geography.
Si los animales son seres sintientes, ¿es posible prohibir la tenencia de un animal de compañía en una vivienda?
Authors: Vivas Tesón Inmaculada
Published: March 2023

La Ley 17/2021, de 15 de diciembre modifica nuestro Código civil para que los animales dejen de tener el estatuto jurídico de cosas (si bien éste es de aplicación supletoria), razón por la cual retoca sus preceptos en materia de crisis matrimoniales, guarda y custodia, ocupación, frutos naturales, hallazgo, responsabilidad por daños y vicios ocultos, así como de sucesiones. Con un inevitable efecto dominó, pues se reforma el Código de las personas y de sus relaciones jurídico-privadas, la Ley 17/2021 modifica el art. 111 de la Ley Hipotecaria en relación a la hipoteca de los animales y el art. 605 de la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil declarando la inembargabilidad de los animales de compañía. Y no modifica nada más. Ello plantea si tienen o no validez los pactos de prohibición de tenencia de mascotas en la vivienda contenidos en contratos de arrendamiento o comodato o bien en acuerdos comunitarios.
Garantías frente a la moderación de contenidos en la Propuesta de Reglamento Único de Servicios Digitales
Authors: Santiesteban Galarza Mario
Published: March 2023

Con la propuesta de Reglamento relativo a un mercado único de servicios digitales la Comisión Europea pretende garantizar un entorno en línea transparente y seguro. Consciente de que los prestadores intermediarios tienen un importante rol en la forma en que los consumidores de productos digitales interactúan en el ciberespacio, la propuesta crea una serie de obligaciones que limitan sus poderes de supresión y remoción de contenidos compartidos por usuarios. La propuesta viene a establecer así una serie de garantías contra la tan sonada censura privada de las plataformas, que se espera que revertirá en la mayor protección de los derechos fundamentales en línea de los consumidores.
Economía circular versus economía lineal. Propuestas normativas en España y Francia relativas al uso de envases y a la información dirigida al consumidor sobre cualidades ambientales de los productos
Authors: Carretero García Ana María
Published: March 2023

Un sistema económico basado en la producción de bienes y servicios bajo las pautas de “extraer-producir-comprar-usar-tirar” conlleva un uso intensivo de recursos naturales, así como una elevada presión sobre el medio ambiente con impactos negativos por la enorme generación de residuos, gases de efecto invernadero, contaminación de suelos y agua, etc. Ese modelo lineal se agrava a su vez con hábitos de consumo de “moda rápida” que no agotan el ciclo de vida útil de los productos (como ocurre, por ejemplo, en el caso de la ropa o en el de los dispositivos electrónicos).

Authors: Zaballos Zurilla María
Published: March 2023

El objetivo del presente trabajo es subrayar la importancia práctica de la distinción entre varias infracciones sucesivas graves en materia de consumidores y una única infracción continuada. Para ello se analiza la SAN, de 13 de abril de 2022 (JUR 2022, 167636) que resuelve el recurso interpuesto por ENDESA S.A frente a la resolución de la Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y de la Competencia, que le condenaba al pago de 300.000 euros por la comisión de tres infracciones graves. El “quid” de la cuestión es determinar si estamos ante tres infracciones graves, o una única infracción continuada. Cuestión que tiene trascendencia a los efectos del principio de proporcionalidad.

A Review and Bibliometric Analysis of Sorting and Recycling of Plastic Wastes
Authors: Oyewale Johnson A. , Tartibu Lagouge K. , Okokpujie Imhade P.
Published: March 2023

Global plastic pollution is a negative impact on the environment as the production and use of plastic are increasing rapidly. Plastic recycling is a significant step towards a circular economy. Over the decades, much plastic has been in circulation for various applications. Recycling plastic wastes (PW) entails waste sorting using some physical properties including plastic types, colors, and shapes, to produce high-quality recycled plastics. Classification of PWs includes common plastic types: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), and others. The traditional method of sorting PW achieves good accuracy but low throughput at an excessive cost. Automated processes in plastic sorting are developed to overcome this. This study analyzes automated sorting techniques and examines bibliometric data on plastic waste research over the past four decades. The Scopus database was used to retrieve statistics on the subject, which were then examined using the bibliometric program in the VOSviewer software. The data visualization was also carried out with VOSviewer. The results of this study can guide future research and provide crucial details to improve plastic waste management.

Authors: Rahman Fazlur , Khan Farid Ullah , Rahman Zuha , Ahmad Waqar
Published: March 2023

Purpose of the study: This paper will discuss the gaps in the current and Islamic education systems, focusing on Indo-Pakistan. Islamic education aims to bring attitudinal changes and build a value system among humans that should transform society by promoting love, peace, equality, purity, integrity, forgiveness, and justice.

Methodology: This is descriptive research where Islamic education and Contemporary education have been analyzed. Emphasis has been placed on Indo-Pakistan, the Western education system, and the Islamization of education in Pakistan and its future.

Principal Findings: As a state, Pakistan comprises politically, geographically, culturally, linguistically, and educationally diverse people. They cannot trace their origins by calling themselves Arabs or Indians. That conflict is reflected in Pakistan's education system – which has lost its identity to be called either religious or contemporary. The moral and ethical standards to bring any positive behavior change are hardly maintained to groom the graduates in the current education system. The Western education left by the British in the Subcontinent, including Pakistan, has its colonial drawbacks, which need to be addressed.

Application of this study: In Pakistan and other Islamic states, it is essential to instill Islamic values within the current education system. One of the viable solutions that could make the Muslim world, including Pakistan, move forward is to accept modern-day learning practices and introduce a hybrid education system. A system that safeguards Islam's values and principles and has rich content of research and development in various fields carried out by the West, irrespective of religious affiliation. This study would benefit researchers and policymakers in framing such an education system.

The novelty of this study: The paper frames some recommendations to tailor the existing education system according to the Islamic education system.

Authors: Sampelo, MAEE Roel C.
Published: March 2023

The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cell phone use on the study habits and academic performance of the Grade 6 and 8 learners. This study utilized a descriptive comparative design of research that examined the extent of cell phone use, study habits and academic performance among the three groups of learners. The following major findings of the study were revealed: All groups got “satisfactory” study habits. Their academic performance, on the other hand, was interpreted as “proficient” with a general weighted average of 85.37.; There is no significant difference between the three groups in terms of their study habits.; However, there exist significant differences between the academic performance of the three groups. With a p-value of 0.013, it was found out that significant differences lie between infrequent users and moderate users as well as infrequent users and frequent users.  Based from the conclusions, the following recommendations are hereby formulated: There is a vital need to sensitize learners and educators about the potential academic risks associated with high cell phone use. It is also recommended for teachers to apply a detailed guidance and explanation on how to use cell phones appropriately in classroom settings. Moreover, the school management must be more alive to their responsibilities by ensuring conformity to the school laid down rules and regulations on student’s use of mobile phone device during class session.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: To determine the factors that predict the failure of systematic prostate biopsy by examining the clinical, laboratory, and radiological parameters of patients for whom prostate cancer was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy but not by systematic biopsy.
Methods: Patients were included in this study if they had undergone combined targeted and systematic biopsy and had cancer detected in the targeted biopsy. They were biopsy-naive patients and had lesions with a Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) score ≥ 3 in the peripheral zone on MRI. The clinical, biochemical, and radiological findings of the groups with and without cancer detected in the systematic biopsy were compared.
Results: A total of 100 patients had an index lesion in the peripheral zone and cancer detected by MRI-targeted biopsy. In 43 (43%) of the patients, no cancer was detected in the systematic biopsy, whereas it was detected in the other 57 (57%). Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of prostate volume and PSA density (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, the findings of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that prostate volume and lesion size are independent predictors of systematic biopsy failure.
Conclusions: The success of systematic biopsy may be lower in patients with high prostate volume and low peripheral zone index lesion size.

Este artigo apresenta uma análise sobre a forma como a extensão universitária foi apresentada na legislação federal, a partir do Estatuto das Universidades (1931) – o qual instituiu o regime universitário no Ensino Superior no Brasil – até a previsão de curricularização das atividades de extensão, previstas nos Planos Nacionais de Educação (2001-2010; 2014-2024), e regulamentada pela Resolução CNE nº 7/2018. Este estudo é o resultado de uma pesquisa documental e historiográfica, a partir dos pressupostos da História Social, principalmente do conceito da longa duração da história. Para a análise dos diferentes tipos de normativas, foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin, em que foram elencadas como palavras-chave na leitura dos documentos: extensão, extensão-ensino, extensão-pesquisa, ensino, pesquisa e ensino-pesquisa-extensão. Como principais resultados, destacamos: a) as diversas extensões apresentadas na legislação federal; b) o papel da Constituição Federal de 1988, ao instituir a extensão como indissociável do ensino e da pesquisa nas universidades; e c) a Resolução CNE n° 7/2018, como um marco para a extensão universitária.

A Educação Ambiental (EA) na Educação Infantil (EI) constitui o cerne deste artigo, qual resultou de uma pesquisa de mestrado realizada no município de Rio Claro-SP, buscando contribuir para a produção de pesquisas nessa temática E centrando-se em um estudo diagnóstico da inserção da EA na EI no município de Rio Claro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de metodologia qualitativa e, neste artigo, é apresentado um recorte expondo a análise de dados obtidos por entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores que atendem alunos na faixa etária de 4 a 5 anos. Como fundamentos teóricos trazemos os estudos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural e da EA Crítica. Nas entrevistas, constatamos práticas que caminham na direção de uma educação ambiental crítica, o que nos permite ponderar haver aproximações e interseções entre a EA e a EI, apresentando sinais de entrelaçamento com a perspectiva crítica em suas dimensões éticas, políticas e estéticas.
Estimating urban vulnerability to flood and heat hazards: A case study in the municipality of Thessaloniki, Greece
Authors: Lazaridis Vasileios , Latinopoulos Dionysis
Published: March 2023

Continuous urban expansion, the conversion of open land to built-up areas and increased energy consumption have diversified the microclimates of cities. These phenomena combined with climate change hazards increase the vulnerability of cities, in a spatially heterogeneous way. Therefore, cities should become more resilient to those threats, by identifying and prioritising highly vulnerable areas. The main purpose of this study is to develop a spatial-based approach to assess the vulnerability of climate-related hazards in the urban environment of Thessaloniki (Greece). In this context, spatial and temporal patterns of land surface temperature were estimated through the calculation of various spectral indices, to conduct an analytical Urban Heat Island vulnerability assessment. Furthermore, the FloodMap-Pro application was used to identify coastal areas that are vulnerable to sea level rise, while historical floods were digitised in order to identify potential urban (flash) flood zones. The most important outcome of this paper is the creation of an integrated spatial vulnerability index, which identifies the urban areas that are prone to all these hazards. The final vulnerability map illustrates how the city of Thessaloniki is exposed to several climate-related hazards and that many areas/neighbourhoods are prone to one or more risk factors.
