Antlions (Myrmeleontidae) in the Doñana National Park
Authors: Serediuk Hanna , da Silva Candela , Paniw Maria
Published: December 2024

This study represents the first comprehensive survey of antlions (Myrmeleontidae) in Doñana National Park, conducted across 58 sampling locations during two field seasons (April–June 2023 and March–July 2024). A total of 12 species from 9 genera were identified, with 406 larval-stage specimens collected, of which 295 successfully emerged as adults (201 females and 94 males, including 28 imagos captured directly in the field). The altitudes of collection sites ranged from 2 to 38 meters above sea level, reflecting the diverse landscapes of the park. These findings enhance knowledge of the region’s biodiversity. Notably, this research documents the first occurrences of Distoleon tetragrammicus and Neuroleon ocreatus in Huelva Province, expanding their known distribution ranges. Our results highlight shrublands and grasslands as key habitats for antlion colonization, offering critical resources such as shelter and abundant prey. These biotopes provide optimal conditions for larval development due to fine soil textures and high prey availability. While most species occupied distinct ecological niches, Myrmeleon hyalinus, M. almohadarum, and M. gerlindae were observed coexisting in different biotopes, with spatial segregation driven by ecological requirements and competition. This study establishes a foundational species inventory for Doñana National Park and underscores the importance of continued monitoring to assess ecological dynamics and species interactions. Future research should focus on resource competition, habitat preferences, and the impacts of environmental changes to further understand Myrmeleontidae adaptation and biodiversity within this protected area.
A kötődés kialakulását segítő tényezők koraszülöttek esetében
Authors: Brevák Dominika , Simon Nóra
Published: December 2024

Az anya és gyermeke közötti kötődés kialakulása hosszú és több tényező által befolyásolt folyamat. Bizonyos események (aranyóra megléte, szoptatás stb.) segítik ennek a komplex kapcsolati rendszernek a formálódását, ugyanakkor számos esemény az útjába is állhat és az így kialakult labilis kötődés is befolyásoló hatással bírhat egyes tényezőkre (pl. a laktációra). A Koraszülöttekért Országos Egyesület 2020-as adatai alapján Magyarországon minden 9-10. újszülött koraszülöttként – azaz a betöltött 37. terhességi hét előtt jön a világra. Ezekben az esetekben, a korai szeparáció miatt, számos egészségügyi, pszichés és mentális kockázati tényező száma megemelkedik [1]. Egy ilyen fajta krízishelyzet, mint a koraszülés, többféle módon felboríthatja a szülők és idő előtt érkezett gyermekük harmonikus kapcsolatát. Kutatásunkban arra kerestük a választ, hogy a megkérdezettek körében milyen arányban fordult elő kötődési akadályozottság és milyen mértékben sikerült a szoptatás a koraszülött gyermek esetében, illetve mennyire befolyásolta egymást a két tényező. A vizsgálat online anonim kérdőív kitöltésével valósult meg. A kérdőívünk részét képezte a Beck-féle, 9 kérdésből álló depresszió skála is (BDI-9). A kitöltésben 163 idő előtt szült édesanya vett részt. A kutatási eredmények vizsgálata megerősítette, hogy a koraszülés akadályt gördíthet a biztos kötödés kialakulása elé. Az anyatejes táplálás azonban nagy teret kapott azoknál a matereknél is, akiknél maga a szoptatás nem sikerült. Ezzel azt tudtuk bizonyítani, hogy a magas tápszermarketing ellenére, az anyatej fontossága és pótolhatatlansága napjainkban a köztudatban egyre nagyobb hangsúlyt kap. A védőnői hivatást végző szakemberek még többet tehetnek annak érdekében, hogy az anyatejes táplálást népszerűsítsék, segítsék. Támogatást nyújthatnak azoknak az anyáknak, akik valamilyen problémába ütköztek gyermekük táplálása során, továbbá megfelelő kompetenciával rendelkeznek a biztos kötődést segítő módszerek fajtáival és lehetőségeivel kapcsolatban. Részt tudnak venni a különböző technikák és azok jótékony hatásainak, mint a Kenguru-módszer, a KORIP (kis, horgolt polip) stb., a megismertetésében.

Az életkor előrehaladtával az esések egyre gyakoribbá válnak, amiket egyensúlyzavarok és egyéb társbetegségek is okozhatnak, melyek következtében számos esetben csonttörés alakul ki. A proximális combcsont törései általában az idős populációban fordulnak elő elesés következtében. A korai fizioterápia során a járásképesség megőrzése, az önellátás javítása kulcsfontosságú tényező a szépkorúak esetében, mely segíti a sérülés utáni hatékony rehabilitációt. Kutatásunkat a B.-A.-Z. Vármegyei Központi Kórház és Egyetemi Oktatókórház Traumatológiai Osztályán végeztük 2023. szeptember és október közötti időszakban. A vizsgálatban 15 pertrochanter törött beteg vett részt, átlagéletkoruk 79,00 ±8,6 év volt. Az általunk készített betegvizsgálati lap alapján felmértük a kezdeti állapotot, kezelésünk célja volt a pertrochanter törött betegek korai postoperatív mozgásterápiájának elvégzése a szövődmények kialakulásának megelőzése, a mobilitás és függetlenség helyreállítása az életminőség javítása céljából. Ezt követően záró mérést végeztünk, az eredményeket összehasonlítottuk, a terápia hatásosságát vizsgáltuk. A funkcionális deficitek az önellátásban, helyes helyzetváltoztatásban, ülésben és a járásban mutatkoztak meg a csökkent csípő- és térdízületi mozgásterjedelem, az izomaktivitás csökkenés és statikus és dinamikus egyensúlyzavar miatt. A kezelések során minden betegnél javulás volt tapasztalható.

A váll akut traumás sérülései gyakoriak, a beteg korától és a trauma mechanizmusától függenek. Előfordulási gyakorisága hasonló a fiatal és az idős páciensek között. Fiataloknál gyakran fordulnak elő olyan sportokban, mint az úszás, a röplabda és a kézilabda, ahol a mozgásokat ismételten a fej felett hajtják végre nagy sebességgel vagy szélsőséges helyzetekben. Az idősebb betegeknél elesés vagy degeneratív folyamat következtében alakulnak ki és tartós fájdalomhoz és fogyatékossághoz vezethetnek. Kutatásunkat a B.-A.-Z. Vármegyei Központi Kórház és Egyetemi Oktatókórház Központi Fizioterápiás Szolgálati Osztályán végeztük 2023. szeptember és november közötti időszakban. A vizsgálatban 12 vállsérült beteg vett részt, átlagéletkoruk 38,89 ±15,94 év volt. Az általunk készített betegvizsgálati lap alapján állapotukat felmértük, ezután korai mozgásterápiát svédmasszázzsal kiegészítve végeztünk, a mobilitás növelésének és az életminőség javításának céljából. Ezt követően záró mérés történt, az eredményeket elemeztük és a terápia hatásosságát vizsgáltuk. A funkcionális deficitek legfőképpen az önellátásban mutatkoztak meg a csökkent vállöv- és vállízületi mozgásterjedelem, az izomaktivitás-gyengeség, és a fájdalom miatt. A kezelések során minden betegnél javulás volt tapasztalható.

A stroke világszerte és hazánkban is vezető ok a rokkantság és a halálozás szempontjából. Az előfordulása az életkor előrehaladtával tendenciát mutat növekedésre. Az elmúlt 17 évben a stroke gyakorisága 50%-kal emelkedett és jelenlegi becslések szerint minden negyedik embert érinteni fog élete során. Kutatásunkat a B.-A.-Z. Vármegyei Központi Kórház és Egyetemi Oktatókórház Szikszói II. Rákóczi Ferenc Kórház-Rendelőintézet Tagkórház rehabilitációs osztályain, illetve a kisvárdai Szent Damján Görögkatolikus Kórházban végeztük 2023. augusztus és november közötti időszakban. A vizsgálatban 10 stroke-os beteg vett részt, átlagéletkoruk 68,4 ±10,04 év volt. Az általunk készített betegvizsgálati lap alapján felmértük a kezdeti állapotot. Kezelésünk célja volt a felső végtag motoros képességeinek fejlesztése fizioterápiával és az általunk készített számítógépes játékokkal. A program letelte után visszamérést végeztünk, az eredményeket elemeztük, feldolgoztuk és a terápia hatásosságát vizsgáltuk.

Hemiparetikus gyerekek mozgásfejlesztése 5–7 éves korban
Authors: Fülöp Dorka , Vámosné Fazekas Anita
Published: December 2024

A hemiparézis a központi idegrendszer károsodásának egyik maradványtünete. Egyoldalú izomgyengeséget jelent, mely az agy károsodásával ellentétes oldalon jelentkezik. A maradványtünet legtöbb esetében a spaszticitás jelenti a legnagyobb nehézséget, mert különböző mértékű kontraktúrák kialakulásához vezet, mely jelentősen gátolja a gyermekeket a mindennapi életvitelük során, és kihatással lehet a későbbi felnőttkori mindennapi életükre is. A legegyszerűbb tevékenységekben, szocializációban is jelentős hátrányt szenvedhetnek el. Kutatásunkat Győrben a Dorcsi Rita Mozgásfejlesztésért Alapítványnál végeztük 2023. októberétől-2023. december hónapjáig. Kutatásunkban összesen 10, 5–7 éves hemiparetikus gyermek vett részt, átlagéletkoruk 5,9 ±0,7 év volt. Az általunk készített betegvizsgálati lap alapján felmértük a kezdeti állapotukat, majd következett az egyéni 12 hetes gyógytorna. Ezt követően ismételt vizsgálat következett, majd összevetettük a kezdő és a záró tesztek eredményeit. A fizikális vizsgálatok révén képet kaptunk a gyermekek funkcionális képességeiről, illetve, hogy milyen mértékű mozgáskorlátozások jellemzik őket. A fizikális vizsgálatot követően a résztvevők egy 12 alkalmas 40 perces játékos gyógytornaprogramon vettek részt. A gyógytornát a gyermekek állapotához, funkcionális képességéhez és mozgáskorlátozottságához alakítottuk ki. A terápia fő célja a lehető legnagyobb önállóságra való törekvés volt. A kezelések fő lépései a spaszticitás csökkentése, a kóros tartás leépítése, a fejtörzs kontroll kialakítása, a hemiparetikus felső és alsó végtag izomerejének növelése, a koordináció-, és egyensúlyfejlesztés, az érzésfejlesztés, illetve a járáskorrigálás volt. A munkánkat nagymértékben segítette a gyermekek nyitottsága, valamint a szüleik együttműködése. Meglátásunk szerint az egyéni, 12 alkalmas kezelés elég hatékony volt ahhoz, hogy a gyermekek érintett oldalának motoros képességei fejlődjenek.

Authors: Mansueto, Rommel R.  , Sarmiento, Cyd A.  , Pelegrin, Mark Anthony L.
Published: December 2024

This study explores the travel motivations and preferences of foreign tourists visiting Siquijor, utilizing the Push and Pull Theory of Motivation to analyze how intrinsic (push) and extrinsic (pull) factors shape travel behavior. A quantitative research design with inferential relational analysis was employed, gathering data from 167 respondents through a structured questionnaire. Reliability analysis confirmed the instrument's consistency (Cronbach's alpha: Push = 0.92, Pull = 0.91). Key findings reveal that predominantly European and highly educated millennials constitute the primary demographic. Their travel motivations emphasize personal enrichment, knowledge acquisition, and cultural engagement, with natural attractions and local cuisine as significant pull factors. Family status significantly influences preferences; singles and divorced travelers prioritize exploration, while married individuals seek family-friendly activities. Accessibility, infrastructure, and online information universally impact travel decisions. The study underscores the need for tailored marketing strategies, including ecotourism development, knowledge-based experiences, and enhanced digital engagement. Recommendations highlight creating inclusive offerings for diverse demographics and promoting local dining. Insights aim to inform sustainable tourism initiatives in Siquijor, aligning experiences with global travelers' evolving expectations while enhancing satisfaction and economic vitality. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of tourism behavior, supporting targeted strategies for destination management and policy development.
Ontario Aggregate Industry and Ministry of Natural Resources Continue to Ignore or Trivialize the Notoriously Dangerous and Potentially Deadly Consequences of Flyrock from Blasting (Detonation of Explosives)

Published: December 2024

Aggregate extraction is one of the most noxious, toxic and destructive uses of land, and one of the uncontrollable consequences of blasting rock is flyrock, which is a health and safety risk unknown to the general public. Flyrock is the dirty little secret of the Aggregate Industry and its Explosives Engineers. They have been remarkably successful in concealing the potentially deadly consequences of flyrock from the public while continuing to engage in reckless blasting practices based on theoretical guesswork (iterative trial and error process) and inadequate permanent onsite setbacks (excavation limits) and permanent offsite separation distances. An independent analysis of a running total of 240 (known) documented flyrock incidents as of August 2024 in various jurisdictions, in which 45 of the incidents resulted in the death of 49 individuals and injury to another 49 individuals, revealed an incident “kill” rate of 18.8% (45 ÷ 240). In Ontario, anyone can engage in blasting (detonation of explosives), as there are no statutory requirements (academic or practical) to demonstrate competency, as mandated by other jurisdictions. Government advisories about the dangers and health risks of detonating explosives incorrectly, in the wrong location or under inappropriate environmental conditions are frequently issued in several jurisdictions other than in Ontario, Canada, where oversight of the aggregate industry and its explosives engineers is ineffective or non-existent. When it comes to flyrock, the only aspects of a blast in doubt are how far flyrock debris will launch from the blast site, and whether it will damage equipment, vehicles or property, or injure, permanently disable or kill human or non-human life forms. Governments bear a fundamental duty to protect their citizens’ health, safety and welfare from all the adverse effects of aggregate extraction operations, not just flyrock.

Published: December 2024

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Breusch-Pagan test's performance in detecting heteroscedasticity across various structures and levels, addressing a significant gap in existing literature. Through Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the test's power, Type II errors ( = 0), and Type I errors ( 0) in confirming homoscedasticity assumptions at different sample sizes (100, 250, and 500). Our objectives include assessing the test's ability to detect heteroscedasticity at various levels and structures, examining the impact of sample size on its performance, comparing its performance across different structures, and identifying its limitations and potential biases. Our findings reveal that the Breusch-Pagan test's performance varies across different heteroscedasticity structures and levels, with poor detection of low-level heteroscedasticity but improved performance at higher levels, particularly for exponential heteroscedasticity structures (EHS). While increased sample size enhances the test's performance, it remains inadequate for linear heteroscedasticity structures (LHS) and square root heteroscedasticity structures (SQRTHS). Based on our results, we recommend cautious use of the Breusch-Pagan test, especially when dealing with low-level heteroscedasticity or specific structures like LHS and SQRTHS. We suggest using the test with moderate to high sample sizes for improved performance, particularly for EHS and quadratic heteroscedasticity structures (QHS). For researchers with limited sample sizes or dealing with LHS and SQRTHS, alternative tests for heteroscedasticity may be considered. Finally, we emphasize the importance of assessing the underlying structure of heteroscedasticity in the dataset to choose the most suitable test and interpretation.

Authors: Bada Abubakar Bello , Garko Ahmad Baita , Gabi Danlami
Published: December 2024

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition of consistent rise in blood pressure above the identified normal. It significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases when identified at an advanced stage, but when diagnosed and treated early, it reduces the occurrence of life-threatening complications. This research proposes a prediction model using Deep Learning (DL) with Transfer Learning (TL) techniques for early prediction of hypertension. A pre-trained Feed-Forward Deep Neural Network model, initially developed for diabetes prediction using the PIMA diabetes dataset, is fine-tuned for hypertension prediction using the PPG-BP dataset. This approach utilizes the model's ability to transfer learned knowledge, improving accuracy while reducing computational time. The performance of the model is evaluated using accuracy, precision, and recall. It achieved an accuracy of 81.34%.

This study examines the reproductive and demographic traits of mothers in Nigeria while utilizing secondary data from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status, reproductive behaviour, and geo-cultural factors affecting fertility patterns in Nigeria. The results show that the average age of mothers at first birth has gradually increased, while the proportion of mothers with no formal education remains significant. The model reveals significant insights into how these latent constructs interact. The model indicates that higher SES leads to fewer children, while reproductive behaviours like age at first birth and marital status positively influence the total number of children ever born. The model fit indices: RMSEA of 0.072; TLI of 0.903; and CFI of 0.947, demonstrate a reasonable fit, suggesting that the model adequately captures the underlying relationships, but some coefficients suggest measurement issues. The study emphasizes the importance of cultural norms and socioeconomic conditions in shaping reproductive choices.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the complexity of challenges in developing responsive regional regulations in Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study was motivated by the rejection of Malaka Regency’s draft regional regulations by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. Using the theoretical framework of regional autonomy, the mechanisms of regulation formation, and Arnstein’s “Ladder of Community Participation” theory, the research explores the sociological, philosophical, and juridical foundations underlying the regulation development process. This descriptive qualitative study employed methods such as observation, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), triangulation, and snowball sampling. Data were analyzed using Creswell’s qualitative techniques. The findings reveal several key issues in the regulation development process, including insufficient adherence to sociological considerations, lack of academic manuscripts to guide regulatory content and significant political party interventions. These factors have resulted in unresponsive regulations that fail to address the community’s needs adequately. Moreover, the low level of community participation—due to limited power redistribution—has further hindered the process. The research highlights the need for more inclusive and collaborative mechanisms to ensure that regional regulations are representative, practical, and aligned with the socio-political context. This study contributes to the field of governance and policy-making by emphasizing the importance of responsive regulation as a tool for addressing local societal challenges. Future research should explore strategies for improving community involvement and addressing political barriers in the formation of regional regulations.

Published: December 2024

Madrasah Alsagoff Al-Arabiah was built in 1912. Amongst the six madrasahs in Singapore, it is the oldest Islamic school established there. Reaching 111 years old as of 2023, it contains a rich history behind how it was built, its mission and vision, the education system, and its achievements. However, there seems to be a general perceivement amongst the public who thought of madrasahs as a school that focuses only on Islamic subjects when that is not the case. All 6 madrasahs in Singapore strive to offer a holistic educational programme that aims to empower its students with a strong Islamic and secular background. Hence, this study is conducted to look into and analyse the history of Madrasah Alsagoff Al-Arabiah. This includes its background, founder, the alumni, the graduates and much more. This study implements a qualitative approach and uses document analysis. The results of this study shows that the intention behind the establishment of this madrasah is to produce graduates with excellent Islamic qualities through a dual education system that combines secular and religious learning. In conclusion, this study is able to shine light upon its significance in moulding and nourishing a successful Malay Muslim community in Singapore.

This study explores the practice of special education preschool teachers on the readiness of preschool students with special educational needs (MBPK) for the inclusive education program year 1. This study uses a qualitative approach. A total of eight special education preschool teachers were selected as survey respondents. The choice is based on their three years of teaching experience in a special education preschool. The study's results showed the effectiveness of teacher readiness practices, teacher assessment practices, and teacher intervention practices in determining the level of readiness of preschool special needs students for the Inclusive Programme year 1. Weaknesses in identifying pupils' problems in basic skills and current levels of development, delay the implementation of early interventions on pupils. Therefore, through this study, the relevant parties should be responsible for providing a school readiness assessment instrument for preschool special needs students with complete guidelines to assist in implementing more effective early intervention by teachers. This is because the readiness of preschool special needs students is very important to achieve high potential during year 1 at primary school.AbstrakKajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka amalan guru prasekolah pendidikan khas tentang kesediaan sekolah murid berkeperluan pendidikan khas (MBPK) prasekolah ke program pendidikan inklusif tahun 1.

Children with autism often face challenges in communication and social interaction, which can hinder their learning process, particularly in understanding Islamic values and manners. This study aims to develop a narrative video that focuses on teaching play manners in Islam to children with autism. The video is designed using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model, which provides a structured framework for creating effective educational materials. The tools that used are IbisPaint, FlipaClip, Canva and Capcut for creating a storytelling video. The development process emphasizes the potential of narrative videos, enriched with visual and graphic elements, to enhance the engagement and comprehension of children with autism. A qualitative approach was employed for data collection and analysis, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the target audience’s needs. Structured interviews were conducted with four respondents comprising parents and educators of autistic children to gather feedback and evaluations on the suitability of the produced storytelling video. The findings are expected to benefit parents, educators, and institutions by providing an innovative tool to support the integration of Islamic manners into the daily lives of children with autism.

Published: December 2024

In this paper we briefly explored the history of 3D printing in prosthetics. We provided details of our own work developing 3D printing design tools from 2014-2020 noting how claims around prosthetist experience and knowledge have been supported and/or questioned in the development of new device production techniques. We ended by arguing for deeper attention to prosthetist knowledge and experience in the design of the growing 3D printing ecosystem, seeing this focus as necessary and important to preserve and support clinical prosthetist in the production of well-fitting and appropriate devices for patients.

Check the (Cassette) Tapes
Authors: Makinejad Mona
Published: December 2024

This paper draws on the dual political nature of cassette tapes as simultaneously a vehicle for political oppression, rebellion, and freedom within the context of post-revolutionary Iran. Using the concept of objects as vehicles for rebellion in Iran, cassettes are examined from a number of lenses, each of which demonstrate their importance to Iranian cultural, religious, and political dimensions. In particular, this paper investigates how the legality of cassettes impacts the music that is produced and how the music is shared. This ultimately demonstrates the disparate forms that new media can take, and the sociopolitical impact it can have, depending on how and why it is produced and disseminated.
