Çevresel değişimin, karmaşıklığın ve belirsizliğinin yüksek olduğu küresel rekabet ortamlarında örgütlerde iletişim ve güven konuları önemli hale gelmektedir. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerle örgütler farklılık oluşturarak rekabet avantajı kazanmayı amaçlamakta ve insan kaynağı ile farklılık oluşturmaya yönelik çözümler araştırmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı, örgütsel güven ile örgütsel iletişim arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Ayrıca, çalışanların örgütsel güven ve örgütsel iletişimlerinde demografik değişkenler açısından farklılık olup olmadığı da incelenmektedir. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmektedir. Araştırmanın evrenini Adıyaman’da Tekstil sektöründen 307 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verilerine SPSS aracılığıyla betimleyici istatistikler, (ANOVA), korelasyon, regresyon ve faktör analizleri uygulanmıştır. Çalışma örgütsel güven ve iletişim konularını inceleyerek ilişkili alanyazına katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma sonucunda çalışanların örgütsel güvenleri ile örgütsel iletişimleri arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı ilişki bulgulanmıştır. Çalışanların örgütsel güvenlerinde demografik değişkenlere göre anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmezken, örgütsel iletişimlerinde anlamlı farklılığa rastlanmıştır. Orta kademe yöneticilerin örgütsel iletişim düzeylerinin alt kademe yöneticilerin örgütsel iletişim düzeyinden yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. İleriki çalışmalarda, örgütsel güven ile örgütsel iletişim arasındaki ilişkilerin örgüt kültürü vb. aracı değişkenler kullanılarak, farklı araştırma desenleri ile farklı sektörlerde araştırılması önerilebilir.

Published: December 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematik dersine olan bağlılık düzeylerinin cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi ve okul dışı matematik dersi alma değişkenlerine göre incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla çalışmada, betimsel nitelik taşıyan tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evreni, Ordu ilinde öğrenim gören ortaokul öğrencileri oluşturmakta, örneklemini ise, 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında Ordu’daki bir devlet okulunda öğrenim gören 193 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile Rimm-Kauffman (2010) tarafından geliştirilen ve Akar ve diğerlerinin (2017) uyarladığı “Matematik Dersine Bağlılık Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Veriler, ikili karşılaştırmalarda Student-t testi, çoklu kıyaslamalarda ise tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve Tukey çoklu karşılaştırma testleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada, cinsiyet değişkenine göre herhangi bir anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Ancak, sınıf düzeyi değişkeninde, duyuşsal bağlılık ve bilişsel bağlılık alt boyutları ile matematik dersine bağlılık ölçeği toplam puanında; okul dışı ders alma durumu değişkeninde ise, sosyal bağlılık ve bilişsel bağlılık alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda, 5. sınıf öğrencileri ile okul dışı matematik dersi alan öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Buna göre, her sınıf düzeyinde ve okul dışı ders almayan öğrenciler için matematiği daha ilgi çekici ve erişilebilir hale getirecek etkileşimli öğretim yöntemleri ile okul içi destek programları geliştirilmesi önerilebilir.

Authors: Лісняк Сергій Іванович , Пузирьова Поліна Володимирівна
Published: December 2024

У статті розглянуто транспарентність інвестиційного потенціалу національної економіки в контексті сталого розвитку. Досліджено підходи до розуміння поняття інвестиційного потенціалу національної економіки, які різняться залежно від обраної методології, мети та контексту, в якому здійснюється аналіз (класичний економічний, поведінковий, інституційний, інноваційний та системний підходи). Встановлено, що інвестиційний потенціал економіки включає сукупність ресурсів, умов та можливостей для здійснення інвестиційної діяльності, що підсилює здатність економіки залучати та ефективно використовувати інвестиції з метою досягнення довгострокового економічного зростання та підвищення рівня добробуту населення. Визначено основні ключові чинники інвестиційного потенціалу, які в синергічній взаємодії формують потенціал загальноекономічного рівня (економічні ресурси; інституційні умови; людський капітал; технологічний рівень розвитку; соціальні та екологічні умови). Доведено, що елементи інвестиційного потенціалу набувають особливої вагомості в контексті сталого розвитку, що передбачає забезпечення довгострокового економічного зростання без шкоди для навколишнього середовища та суспільства. При визначенні структури інвестиційного потенціалу було встановлено, що інвестиційний потенціал національної економіки - це сукупність ресурсів, можливостей та умов, що забезпечують можливість розвитку економіки через залучення та ефективне використання інвестицій, де основними структурними елементами інвестиційного потенціалу виступають: фінансовий потенціал, природний потенціал, трудовий потенціал, інноваційний потенціал, технологічний потенціал, інфраструктурний потенціал, інституційний потенціал, соціально-економічний потенціал, екологічний потенціал, зовнішньоекономічний потенціал. При дослідженні інвестиційного потенціалу в контексті сталого розвитку було встановлено, що основними чинниками виступають: екологічні інвестиції; соціальні інвестиції; інноваційні інвестиції. В результаті дослідження було запропоновано основні напрямки розвитку інвестиційного потенціалу України в умовах сталого розвитку: реформування законодавчої бази; розвиток фінансових ринків; інноваційна політика; екологічна політика; соціальні інвестиції. Обґрунтовано, що в умовах глобальних змін необхідно забезпечувати інституційну стабільність, стимулювати інновації та сприяти розвитку «зеленої» економіки, реалізація яких дозволить підвищити конкурентоспроможність України на світовому ринку та забезпечити довгострокове економічне зростання з дотриманням принципів сталого розвитку. Доведено, що інвестиційний потенціал є ключовим драйвером для забезпечення економічного зростання будь-якої країни, особливо в умовах глобалізації, де сталий розвиток визначає нові вимоги до інвестиційної діяльності, зокрема, щодо балансу між економічними, соціальними та екологічними аспектами.
ПРОЦЕС МАРКЕТИНГОВОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ З ТОЧКИ ЗОРУ СЕРВІСНО-ДОМІНАНТНОЇ ЛОГІКИ
Authors: Мазуров Антон В’ячеславович
Published: December 2024

В статті оцінюється традиційна маркетингова діяльність, яка переважно організовується від товару або можливостей підприємства. Під час виконання дослідження використовувалися методи: порівняння, абстрагування, аналізу та узагальнення. STP-модель (сегментація, таргетинг, позиціонування), яка виступає основою формування маркетингових стратегій, значною мірою спирається на аналіз великого масиву ринкових даних, зокрема динаміки конкурентів, розміру ринку та демографічних і психографічних характеристик споживачів, часто упускаючи реальні потреби та цілі клієнтів. Метою цього дослідження є розробка пропозиції щодо реформування процесу маркетингової діяльності підприємства у бік клієнтоцентричності та орієнтації на результати, яких прагнуть клієнти (desired outcomes). Пропонується рішення так званої «маркетингової короткозорості» шляхом застосування сервісно-домінантної логіки (СДЛ). На відміну від традиційних моделей, які передбачають, що цінність закладена в товарах, СДЛ підкреслює, що цінність створюється спільно ринковими акторами в рамках сервісних екосистем. Встановлено, що відповідно до СДЛ сервіс визначається як процес застосування власних ресурсів, навичок та компетенцій на користь іншої сторони. Це зміщує фокус з товарів і трансакційних відносин на рішення, які задовольняють потреби клієнтів. У статті обґрунтовано, що на практичному рівні застосування СДЛ в маркетингу може бути реалізовано на основі теорії робіт (jobs-to-be-done theory – JTBD) та процесу розробки інновацій, орієнтованих на результати, яких прагнуть клієнти (оutcome-driven innovation – ODI). Також продемонстровано, що ODI та JTBD, які базуються на когнітивній психології, методиках управління якістю та юзабіліті інжинірингу (проєктування зручності користування), забезпечують практичну основу для виявлення та задоволення потреб, які впливають на рішення клієнтів. Визначено, що застосування ODI та JTBD дозволяє систематично виявляти «роботи», які клієнти мають виконати, і орієнтувати маркетингові стратегії і програми на полегшення виконання цих «робіт» і допомогу клієнтам в досягненні бажаних результатів. Детальне вивчення вказаних інструментів доводить, що їх впровадження на етапі виявлення цільового ринку і можливостей для компанії в рамках запропонованого процесу маркетингової діяльності дозволить чіткіше обрати цільові сегменти та краще розуміти контекст, в якому знаходяться клієнти.

Las patologías de la vesícula biliar y las vías biliares implican una alta carga de la enfermedad. Los cálculos biliares se han convertido en un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial cada vez mayor. En diferentes estudios se ha reportado una prevalencia entre el 10 % y el 15 % de la población adulta en los Estados Unidos, por lo que se estima que entre 20 y 25 millones de personas tienen cálculos biliares 1. La situación es igualmente grave en Europa, con una tasa de prevalencia que oscila entre el 5,9 % y el 21,9 % en grandes encuestas de población, y en Asia, con una prevalencia del 3 al 20 %, mientras es más baja en las poblaciones africanas 2.
A Secure and Reliable Fog-Enabled Architecture Using Blockchain With Functional Biased Elliptic Curve Cryptography Algorithm for Healthcare Services
Authors: Awasthi Charu , Prakash Satya , Kumar Mishra Prashant
Published: December 2024

Fog computing is an emerging technology that extends the capability and efficiency of cloud computing networks by acting as a bridge among the cloud and the device. Fog devices can process an enormous volume of information locally, are transportable, and can be deployed on a variety of systems. Because of its real-time processing and event reactions, it is ideal for healthcare. With such a wide range of characteristics, new security and privacy concerns arise. Due to the safe transmission, arrival, and access, as well as the availability of medical devices, security creates new issues in the area of healthcare. As an outcome, fog computing necessitates a unique approach to security and privacy metrics, as opposed to standard cloud computing methods. Hence, this paper suggests an effective blockchain depending on secure healthcare services in fog computing. Here the fog nodes gather the information from the medical sensor devices and the data is validated using smart contracts in the blockchain network. We propose a Functional Biased Elliptic Curve Cryptography Algorithm (FB-ECC) to encrypt the data. The optimization is performed using Galactic Bee Colony Optimization Algorithm (GBCOA) to enhance the procedure of encryption. The performance of the suggested methodology is assessed and contrasted with the traditional techniques. It is proved that the combination of fog computing with blockchain has increased the security of data transmission in healthcare services
Systematic Review of Usability Factors, Models, and Frameworks with Blockchain Integration for Secure Mobile Health (mHealth) Applications
Authors: Feroz Irum , Ahmad Nadeem
Published: December 2024

This systematic review examines critical usability factors that influence the adoption of mobile health (mHealth) applications among older adults and identifies gaps in current usability models, including ISO 9241-11, Nielsen’s heuristics, and PACMAD. This review also explores the potential role of blockchain technology in enhancing multimodal medical data systems within mHealth applications. A comprehensive search across six databases yielded 1,073 studies, with 60 meeting inclusion criteria. Studies were analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify key success factors (RQ1) and comparative analysis to assess limitations in existing frameworks (RQ2). Key factors promoting mHealth adoption included ease of use, efficiency, error prevention, learnability, memorability, and user satisfaction. Blockchain integration emerged as a promising approach to improve data security, interoperability, and user trust, particularly for older adults who engage with complex, multimodal health data. Findings from RQ2 highlighted gaps in usability models, such as the lack of age-specific guidance for multimodal interaction, error recovery, and data privacy. These results underscore the need to define a new usability framework and incorporate blockchain to meet the unique needs of older adults in mHealth applications, supporting both secure and accessible healthcare management.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between peer attachment and aggressive behavior in elementary school children. Aggressive behavior refers to an individual's response or reaction to their environment that hurts other individuals. Aggressive behavior is characterized by behaviors that individuals do that hurt other individuals in verbal and non-verbal forms. This study used 92 subjects with age variations of 9-11 years old who are elementary school students. Data collection was conducted at school using a questionnaire in the form of a guttman scale, using measurement instruments consisting of The Aggression Questionnaire and Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA). Spearman's Rho analysis shows that Aggressive Behaviour and Peer Attachment have a negative linear association. That is, the stronger the peer relationship, the less aggressive the behaviour of elementary school students.

Abstract
Intimacy in friendship is one of the factors that influence self-disclosure in friendship relationships. Intimacy in friendship can provide interpersonal reciprocity, where individuals will share deeper emotions, be open, and respect each other. This study aims to determine the relationship between friendship intimacy and self-disclosure in new students. The population in the study was 2,828 new students of Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya in 2023. The sample in the study amounted to 250 new students with sampling techniques using non-probability sampling techniques, namely accidental sampling. This research instrument uses a friendship intimacy scale with aspects proposed by Sharabany (1994) and a self-disclosure scale with aspects proposed by Devito (2019). The method for data analysis used is Spearman Brown correlation with the help of IBM SPSS series 25 for windows. The results showed (rxy) = 0.782 with a significance of 0.000 (p <0.05). This means that the hypothesis in this study which assumes there is a positive relationship between friendship intimacy and self-disclosure in new students is accepted. This means that the higher the friendship intimacy between students, the higher the level of self-disclosure felt by students.

Abstract
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is voluntary employee behavior that is not tied to formal responsibilities, without expectation of reward. One element that can affect OCB is job insecurity. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between job insecurity and OCB in employees at PT Pegadaian Regional Office XII Surabaya. This research uses correlational quantitative research. The sample technique in this study used a random sampling method where the subjects were taken from the entire population of 73 employees. The subjects in this study were all employees at PT Pegadaian Regional Office XII Surabaya. Data analysis was carried out using product moment correlation techniques. The result of the correlation coefficient is -0.614, this shows that the level of the correlation coefficient of this study has a negative relationship with a significance level of p=0.000 <0.01. This means that the greater the job insecurity felt by employees, the smaller the level of OCB shown by them. Conversely, if employees feel a lower level of job insecurity, the higher the OCB they show.

Published: December 2024

Purpose: The co-occurrence of cannabis use and internalizing problems, such as depression and anxiety, during emerging adulthood (18-25 years) is well documented, but the directionality is unclear. This study investigates the bidirectional longitudinal relationships between cannabis use (frequency and consequences) and internalizing problems (depressive and anxiety symptoms) among high-risk emerging adults. Methods: Data came from 7 assessment waves collected over a 2-year period among 900 (56% female) high-risk emerging adults participating in two longitudinal cohorts (Ontario, Canada; Tennessee, USA). Latent curve models with structured residuals were used to explore bidirectional between- and within-person relationships between cannabis-related variables and internalizing problems. Results: At baseline, higher cannabis use frequency and consequences were both associated with higher internalizing symptoms. In between-person models, both cannabis-related factors (frequency and consequences) and internalizing symptoms (depressive and anxiety symptoms) decreased across emerging adulthood. In within-person models, bidirectional relationships were observed (partially supporting both symptom-driven and substance-induced pathways), but cannabis consequences, rather than frequency, were most consistently related to subsequently higher internalizing problems (particularly depressive symptoms). These bidirectional relationships were more pronounced among females and those surpassing clinical thresholds for internalizing problems at baseline. Conclusions: This study found evidence of bidirectional relationships between cannabis involvement and internalizing problems across emerging adulthood, although the prevailing direction was from negative cannabis consequences to increases in internalizing. These findings highlight the importance of cannabis intervention in emerging adults, both to reduce consequences and prevent internalizing symptoms, especially targeting females and those with clinically elevated internalizing problems.
Transparency in Risk Communication of Trials with Time-to-event Outcomes in Medicine: A Randomized Trial
Authors: Giese Helge , Gaissmaier Wolfgang , Kuss Oliver , Wegwarth Odette
Published: December 2024

Background: Medical RCT effectiveness communication often does not fully acknowledge thetemporal dimension of the trial and its impact on RCT understanding in general practitioners isunclear. The authors therefore tested how trial effectiveness information given as hazard ratio(HR), prolongated failure times (PFT), restricted mean survival times (RMST), or absolute riskreductions (ARR) affected the understanding and acceptance of the treatment effectiveness inmedical general practitioners.Methods: In 2024, 250 German general practitioners completed an online experimentcomparing the four different effectiveness communication formats in a within design andtesting the role of an absolute reference between participants. Target outcomes were whetherthe group could replicate the rank order of effect sizes presented to them in a between designand their acceptance rating.Results: General practitioners did not replicate the effect size order. The same effect in theRMST format was judged less effective but more acceptable compared to the presentation inthe other formats. The reference did not play a role in the evaluation of the communication.Conclusions: While general practitioners generally preferred the mean survival time format,there was no intuitive representation of effect sizes in any of the formats. The provision offurther normative information in addition to the effect size on the absolute time scale may aidthem to rank the effectiveness of treatments.
Functionally distinct alpha components are differentially modulated by attention

Published: December 2024

Alpha oscillations (~10 Hz) have been hypothesized to gate information flow in the brain by inhibiting task-irrelevant and disinhibiting task-relevant processing. Recent work using independent component analysis (ICA) showed that functionally distinct alpha components co-exist during a working-memory task. Here, we recorded magnetoencephalography while participants performed a visual delayed match-to-sample task with pre- and retro-cueing to investigate the gating role of alpha and the impact of top-down attention on these dynamics. Consistent with prior findings, we observed an alpha power decrease that temporally tracked the presentation of the informative cue. Using ICA, we extend previous results regarding the co-existence of two distinct alpha sources (Alpha1 and Alpha2) and show that these are differentially modulated during the decision delay with opposite relationship to behavioral outcomes. Furthermore, we report on preparatory mechanisms involving Alpha1 and Alpha2 and show that their subsequent impact on task performance varies with cue informativeness and the task relevance of upcoming input. When task relevance was unknown (i.e., in the retro-cue condition), increases in Alpha1 power before task-relevant input was associated with poorer performance. In contrast, when task relevance was known (i.e., in the pre-cue condition), pre-stimulus increases in Alpha2 power before task-irrelevant (i.e., to-be unattended) input was associated with better task performance. Combined, these findings are in line with our hypothesis that Alpha1 rhythms modulate visual processing while Alpha2 rhythms modulate the short-term storage of visual information. Crucially, these distinct (anticipatory) alpha dynamics only became evident after using ICA, emphasizing the necessity of analysis methods that can disentangle overlapping rhythmic dynamics that stem from distinct sources.
Ensuring safety in medical cannabis prescription: Stratified Risk Assessment and Psychiatric Screening as crucial step for an appropriate use
Authors: Firenzuoli Bernardo , Fagiolini Andrea , Cuomo Alessandro , Firenzuoli Fabio
Published: December 2024

Medical cannabis preparations vary significantly in their composition, pharmacokinetics,and associated psychiatric risks. This manuscript highlights the need for a stratifiedapproach to assessing these risks, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between high-THC, low-CBD products and more balanced preparations, such as thosewith higher CBD content. Evidence suggests that while high-THC preparations increasethe likelihood of adverse effects, including anxiety, psychotic-like symptoms, andcognitive impairments, CBD-dominant products may offer a protective effect, mitigatingthe neuropsychiatric risks of THC. Furthermore, the inclusion of psychiatric screeningprotocols is proposed to identify and manage undiagnosed or prodromal psychiatricconditions, particularly affective and psychotic disorders, in patients prescribed medicalcannabis.

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is increasingly recognized as a vital tool for tracking the fluctuating nature of mental states and symptoms in psychiatric research. However, determining the optimal sampling rate — that is, deciding how often participants should report their symptoms — remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, our study utilizes the Nyquist-Shannon Theorem from signal processing, which establishes that any sampling rate more than twice the highest frequency component of a signal is adequate. In our study, we applied this insight to analyze two EMA datasets on depressive symptoms with a combined 35,452 data points: dataset 1 from the WARN-D study features daily 7-point Likert measurements of the two core depression symptoms from 368 participants over 85 days, dataset 2 includes four daily 0-100 visual analogue scale measurements of the same core depression symptoms from 39 participants over a minimum of 30 days. Our analysis of both datasets suggests that the most effective sampling strategy involves measurements at least every other week. We find that measurements at higher frequencies provide valuable and consistent information across both datasets, with significant peaks at weekly and daily intervals. Furthermore, a robustness analysis using a broader set of symptoms aligning with the DSM-5 criteria for depression in dataset 2 leads to similar results. This suggests that the ideal frequency for measurements remains largely consistent, regardless of the specific symptoms used to estimate depression severity. We discuss our results in the context of aligning the ideal frequency for EMA measurements with specific study goals and needs. For conditions where abrupt or transient symptom dynamics are expected, such as during treatment, more frequent data collection is recommended. However, for regular monitoring, weekly assessments of depressive symptoms may be sufficient. We discuss the implications of our findings for EMA study optimization, address our study's limitations, and outline directions for future research.

Authors: Hinde Kylie , Pavan Silvia , Hald Gert Martin , Lange Theis , Hallford David , Austin David W.
Published: December 2024

This review examines post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and associated factors, amongst parents of autistic children. A systematic review of the literature produced seven studies (N=1717) that met the selection criteria. A random-effects model showed that 24% of the aggregated sample experienced PTSD symptoms. Child behaviours of concern and parent mental health issues were associated with PTSD symptoms in the parents. The findings indicate that a significant number of parents of autistic children experience symptoms consistent with PTSD. The authors acknowledge significant heterogeneity across the reviewed studies. Two of the seven studies combined autistic children with those who have other developmental conditions, and only three directly examined PTSD symptoms related to parenting an autistic child. This study is important as it highlights significant gaps in existing research, emphasizing the need for focused studies on the unique challenges faced by these parents. Note for readers: The authors have chosen to use identity-first language when referring to individuals with an autism diagnosis (i.e., autistic child) as opposed to person-first language (i.e., child with autism). This decision was made in accordance with the recent neurodiversity affirming movement towards the de-stigmatization of autism, and research indicating that a large majority of autistic people prefer identity-first language (Botha et al., 2023; Bury et al., 2023; Izuno-Garcia et al., 2023; Taboas et al., 2023).Keywords: post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms; parent traumatic stress; autism; parent mental health.

Authors: Ali Nabila Nurhaliza , Niâ€™mah Khomsatun
Published: December 2024

Self-regulated learning is one of the important factors in learning to control oneself in thinking and acting. The purpose of this research is to analyze how much students have achieved their independence in learning. Student learning independence includes all matters of student learning independently without the help of others, student learning motivation or things that affect student independence in learning, especially in learning mathematics. This analysis study will be continued as an effort to improve self-regulated learning. The scope of self-regulated learning was analyzed by descriptive quantitative method through data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires on the object of research taken from a population of 25 students. Data collection was carried out with a questionnaire consisting of 20 statements from indicators of students' self-regulated learning ability. In learning mathematics, students who have initiative and instrinsic learning motivation, apply learning targets, and set a learning schedule in the percentage of almost half of the students do according to these indicators of independence. Almost all students diagnose learning needs, view difficulties as challenges, utilize and seek relevant sources. However, a small proportion of students lack self-efficacy or confidence in their abilities and are still low in evaluating the learning process and results. So that as an educator this needs to be considered to be able to improve students' self-regulated learning abilities (learning independence) in order to improve student achievement.

Authors: Puspasari Yovita
Published: December 2024

The ability to think creatively is an important skill in the world of education, especially for students of the Primary School Teacher Education Study Program (PGSD). In learning mathematics, especially geometry, this ability is crucial for understanding concepts in depth and solving problems innovatively. However, there are still many students who show limitations in generating creative ideas, especially in the aspects of originality and elaboration. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the creative thinking abilities of PGSD students in open problem-based geometry learning, which gives students the freedom to explore various solutions in solving geometric problems. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data obtained through interviews, observation and document analysis. Research informants include lecturers, PGSD students, heads of study programs, librarians, and the curriculum development team at STKIP PGRI Trenggalek. The research results show that the open problem-based learning method is effective in improving students' fluency and flexibility abilities. However, in the aspects of originality and elaboration, several obstacles were still found that required more intensive guidance and the use of supporting technology. With the right approach, this method can be a solution to optimize students' creative thinking abilities in learning geometry.

Based on the research findings, the developed e-module was validated by subject matter experts, yielding a score of 3.61, categorized as very good, while validation by media experts resulted in a score of 3.42, also categorized as very good. The evaluation from students regarding the e-module received a score of 3.81, which falls into the very good category. Furthermore, based on the assessment of quiz responses within the e-module, the average score was 78.9, indicating an improvement in students' problem-solving abilities prior to using the e-module, which had an average score of 59.8. It can be concluded that the e-module on the concepts of ordinary differential equations is suitable for use in learning and can enhance students' problem-solving skills.
Spondylodiscitis Associated with a Psoas Abscess in the Course of Polymyositis. Case Report
Authors: González Lastre Melba
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

Neck hematoma is a rare but potentially lifethreatening medical condition.Although spontaneous rupture of a parathyroid adenoma with extracapsular hemorrhage is rare, it may cause cervical and mediastinal hematoma, leading to potentially fatal consequences, it should be considered when a non-traumatic sudden neck swelling coexists with hypercalcemia.

Case’s presentation:

This report describes an atypical spontaneous rupture of an asymptomatic parathyroid adenoma in a 42-year-old woman who presented to the emergency room after the acute installation of an unpainful voluminous swelling in the right side of her neck, after eliminating a vascular emergency. Hemodynamically stable, the patient was treated conservatively with a period of observation in hospital, 1 month follow-up imaging with CT confirmed a regression of the half volume of the hemorrhagic lesion and the likely source of hemorrhage as a parathyroid nodule with significant vascularity. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological analysis after elective surgical exploration of the neck 3 months of a benign parathyroid adenoma. The patient made a full recovery with immediate normalization of her biochemistry post-operatively.

Discussion:

Spontaneous rupture of a cervical parathyroid adenoma with extracapsular hemorrhage should be considered when a non-traumatic sudden neck swelling coexists with hypercalcemia. The most appropriate treatment, in the absence of dyspnea or dysphagia, we believe that it is preferable to intervene surgically in a delayed manner.

Conclusion:

A high suspicion index is needed, particularly in post-menopausal women, to reach a diagnosis and allow optimal management. Since bleeding may recur, we suggest an independent indication for definitive parathyroidectomy surgery.
