Authors: Cabrera Kayleen , Silton Nava R.
Published: May 2023

A child being put into the foster care system comes with various trials. This begins with the foster child's original household dynamic either consisting of neglect or ill-treatment. Other cases being a parent who may not have the capacity to raise the child. To contextualize the creative arts and how they may benefit foster children, this review uses research collected from previous literature to examine prevalence rates, a child's needs, at-risk youth, how the brain reacts to the creation of art, music therapy, and its effects on foster youth, including after-school programs and support that is provided to children that implement the use of creative arts. Significant findings were compiled about the arts activating parts of the brain, consistently stimulating the same three neurotransmitters (oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine). Furthermore, the implementation of the arts in foster children's lives can reverse social and developmental delays they may have encountered as a result of trauma.

The Role of Drainage Systems in Ensuring the Barrier Functions of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone
Authors: Shevchenko Oleksii , Bublias Volodymyr , Panasiuk Mykola , Charnyi Dmytro
Published: May 2023

Drainage systems in the Chornobyl exclusion zone (CHEZ) are considered in the context of this zone's performance of barrier functions to contain the water transport of radionuclides beyond its borders. The principles of assessing the barrier resistance of catchment basins are described, taking into account landscape features and the dynamics of 90Sr removal; the role of drainage systems in the formation of removal of radionuclides at different stages of post-accident works and during periods of different water levels was analyzed, and effective water protection measures were proposed. Natural landscape and geochemical characteristics of catchments, not water protection measures and structures, are responsible for the formation of stable barrier functions. Various man-made facilities mostly only worsen the barrier capacity of the catchment in the long term; for example, the additional artificial drainage network due to the possibility of its regulation helps to reduce the removal of radionuclides in low-water years, but in high-water, it significantly weakens the barrier functions.
Mathematical Modeling of Economic Losses Caused by Forest Fire in Ukraine
Authors: Openko Ivan , Tykhenko Ruslan , Shevchenko Oleksandr , Tsvyakh Oleg , Stepchuk Yanina
Published: May 2023

In this chapter, the authors analysed the current state of economic and environmental damage caused by forest fires in Ukraine. Uncontrolled spread of fire not only causes significant economic damage, but also has dire consequences for the ecology. The burning of large areas of forest leads to a radical change in the ecosystems of the affected region, which can eventually lead to unpredictable results. Thus, the negative indicators of forestry are: quantity of forest fires, units; area of forest lands covered by fires; losses caused by forest fires; burned and damaged the forest. It should be noted that the indicators of the consequences of forest fires do not mathematically correlate with the loss of wood cover in Ukraine, which are determined by the data remote sensing of the earth.

Pemphigus vulgaris mimicking Steven-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis: report of an unusual case
Authors: Albrahim Latifah , Alasmari Amal Aboud , Aleissa Majed
Published: May 2023

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease affecting the skin and mucosa. It clinically presents as painful erosions, mainly in the oral cavity, and flaccid blisters and erosions on the skin. Steven-johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a severe mucocutaneous drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by painful, dusky, erythematous eruptions that often progress to blisters, erosions, and extensive epidermal detachment accompanied by systemic symptoms. Herein, we report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with extensive skin and mucosal lesions following the ingestion of an unknown medication. The patient’s symptoms thus clinically mimicked SJS and accordingly, a preliminary diagnosis of SJS was made. Clinical investigation of skin biopsy and direct immunofluorescence assay results, however, indicated PV and a final diagnosis of PV was established.

Published: May 2023

Introduzione: Le ustioni rappresentano un problema per la salute pubblica mondiale. Erogare assistenza di qualità nelle prime ore impatta sugli esiti a lungo termine del paziente. La formazione degli infermieri su questo argomento, in letteratura, risulta carente. Obiettivo dello studio è valutare le conoscenze degli infermieri dei dipartimenti di Emergenza/Urgenza sulla gestione della persona ustionata con lo scopo di far emergere eventuali bisogni formativi tra gli infermieri del Dipartimento di Emergenza/Urgenza su tutto il territorio Nazionale.
Materiali e Metodi: Tra agosto – settembre 2021 è stata condotta un’indagine conoscitiva tramite questionario ad hoc sottoposto tramite Google Moduli® agli infermieri dei dipartimenti di Emergenza/Urgenza operativi sul territorio nazionale; l’analisi dei dati è stata condotta mediante Excel.
Risultati: Hanno risposto al questionario 74 infermieri, di cui il 36,5% lavora in Anestesia/Rianimazione, il 36,5% in Pronto Soccorso, il 25,7% nell’Emergenza Territoriale, l’1,4% in un centro Grandi Ustionati; fra loro, la maggior parte di età compresa tra 25-35 anni, operativi da oltre 10 anni, circa un quarto ha conseguito formazione post-base. Nessuno ha risposto correttamente a tutte le domande teoriche: la metà ha risposto bene almeno al 50% dei quesiti, solo 4 a più del 70%. Degli intervistati la maggior parte ha assistito almeno un ustionato, non ha mai partecipato a corsi di formazione mirati ma sarebbe interessato a farlo; pochi riferiscono di disporre di protocolli.
Discussione: In linea con quanto riportato in letteratura, emerge questo: pur in presenza di una ragguardevole anzianità di servizio, molti infermieri hanno difficoltà a rispondere correttamente ai quesiti teorici; pochi partecipano a corsi di formazione specifici; poche realtà operative adottano protocolli per la gestione del paziente ustionato.
Conclusioni: Le conoscenze degli infermieri sulla gestione del paziente ustionato sono risultate generalmente carenti, lacunose. La formazione è disomogenea, mancano spesso protocolli nelle Unità Operative. I professionisti mostrano volontà di partecipare a corsi specifici.

A Hermeneutical Survey of the Book of Daniel: A Recipe for an Egalitarian Nigerian
Authors: Asuquo O. O. , Odey E. A. , Emeng G. I. , Edet F. F
Published: May 2023

The fourth prophetic writing in the Old Testament, known as the Book of Daniel, has recently undergone an English translation. The primary focus of this text is centred on an individual by the name of Daniel. This individual is an ancient figure who is also mentioned in Ezekiel 14:14 and 28:3. Further examples of the aforementioned designation refer to a male progeny of David (1 Chronicle 3:1) and an individual
belonging to the sacerdotal ancestry of Ithamar (Ezra 8; 2; Nehemiah 10:6). The afore-mentioned references provide substantiation that this particular terminology was widespread among the Jewish community in the period following the exile. Given the aforementioned, this paper examines the historical context of the individual known as Daniel, the authorship of the text, the discerned symbolic messages
and their interpretation, criticism levelled against the book. The examination of the book through a hermeneutical lens is considered appropriate as a blueprint for the establishment of an egalitarian Nigerian society. The methodology adopted in this research is purely qualitative involving content analysis, critical evaluation of biblical text on the subject matter and a hermeneutical survey of scholastic views and analogy on the book of Daniel. The research objective was accomplished through a
comprehensive utilisation of textual exegesis. Despite the criticisms levelled by certain scholars, the paper ultimately concludes that the book effectively justifies its relevance to the process of nation building.
Who Remembers It?: Poetics of Archives and Nostalgic Practices on Online Communities of ex-Soviet Citizens
Authors: Stoufflet Bénédicte
Published: May 2023

On the VKontakte and Odnoklasniki networks, communities entitled “Born in the USSR” give Internet users the opportunity to immerse themselves in their lost homeland through the publication of photographic archives from everyday life in Soviet Union. The archives are allusions that can arouse memories of the lived past and engage users into a collective reconstruction of the past. It is a playful activity of recollection: the visitor finds objects and is invited to recognize them by the recurrent addressed question “who remembers that?”. Thanks to the accumulation of archives, the communities also offer a synthesis of Soviet culture. Thus, the archives act as triggers for memory and as representative samples of the disappeared world. This article aims to take an anthropological look at the notion of archive, focusing on how individuals use them to stimulate their memories and to belong to the community.

Sur les réseaux VKontakte et Odnoklasniki, des communautés intitulées « Nés en URSS » proposent aux internautes de se plonger dans ce pays disparu, grâce à la publication d’archives photographiques représentant le quotidien soviétique. Les archives exposées sont autant d’allusions susceptibles d’éveiller chez le spectateur le souvenir du passé vécu et d’enclencher un travail de reconstruction du passé, exercé collectivement entre membres du groupe. Il s’agit d’une activité ludique de remémoration : le visiteur tombe sur des objets et il est invité à les reconnaître par les interpellations comme « qui s’en souvient ? ». Grâce à l’accumulation des archives, les communautés offrent également une synthèse de la culture soviétique. Les archives jouent ainsi le rôle de déclencheurs de la mémoire et d’échantillons représentatifs du monde d’hier. Cet article propose de porter un regard anthropologique sur la notion d’archives, en s’intéressant à la manière dont les individus en font usage pour stimuler leurs souvenirs et entretenir un sentiment d’appartenance à une communauté.

Published: May 2023

This study interrogated the effect of using educational mapping in teaching English language on university students' motivation. A quasi-experimental design (training program), along with a quantitative approach, was used. The study was implemented at Al-Quds Open University in Palestine .The participants comprised 36 master's degree students who were randomly divided into two equal groups: controlled (n=18) and experimental (n=18). The experimental group was taught by using educational mapping while the controlled group was taught by using common and traditional methods of teaching English language. The study questions were: 1) Are there statistically significant differences in students' means responses of English language motivation due to group? 2) Are there statistically significant differences in students' means responses of English language motivation due to gender? The data were analyzed by using SPSS, ANCOVA and MANCOVA. The results of the study showed that using educational mapping in teaching English language positively influenced university students' motivation. In addition, the results of the study indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in students' means responses of motivation according to the variable of gender. Thus, the study recommended using educational mapping as a game to foster students' motivation.

Published: May 2023

Scientific thinking is considered as a cognitive process in which the underlying causes of a basic problem are solved. It is of great importance for teachers to have scientific thinking skills to improve their professional lives, to create effective learning environments, to continuously question the events and processes in the classroom, to carry out research, to identify problems and to produce solutions. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a significant difference between teachers' scientific thinking skills and variables such as gender, seniority and branch. The research was conducted based on the comparative descriptive survey model. The data obtained concerning the demographic characteristics of the teachers were analyzed with frequency and percentage techniques. In the analyses between the demographic characteristics of the subjects and their scientific thinking skills, arithmetic mean, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), which were selected according to the characteristics of the groups, were used. For the research, the Scientific Thinking Skills Scale developed by Göktürker (2005) was adapted into Kazakh and applied to the teachers. According to the findings of the study, the scientific thinking skills of the participant teachers were found to be at a medium level. In addition, significant differences were found in teachers' scientific thinking skills according to gender, branch and professional seniority factors.
Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Science Mapping Approach
Authors: Kaban Abdullatif
Published: May 2023

While using artificial intelligence in education is a popular field of study for researchers, it has become a joint application for educational institutions. Educational institutions are trying to establish artificial intelligence-based systems to improve the existing education systems. On the other hand, education researchers want to determine which artificial intelligence models are the most effective. To provide an in-depth resource for both researchers and educators on the use of artificial intelligence in education, this study aims to make a bibliometric analysis of articles related to artificial intelligence in education. After the query was made in the Web of Science database, 1153 articles related to the subject were obtained. As a result of the bibliometric analysis of the articles obtained, the most influential journals are Education and Information Technologies and Computers Education, and the most influential authors are Scouller, Biggs, and Hwang. After 2019, it has been observed that there has been a significant increase in the number of studies, the first examples of which were found in 1985. It is thought that this study, which provides results on the most cited publications, trending topics, thematic map of keywords, and co-occurrence network, will serve as a bedside resource for both educators and researchers. Implications of the findings for theory and practice are discussed.

Authors: Naceanceno Kendall D. , Akpanudo Usenime M.
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted the methods of instruction for K-12 and higher education institutions around the world. Schools and families were challenged to adapt to online-based modes of instruction with minimal preparation. This study examined the importance of the learning environment and commitment to assignments as predictors of the academic performance of junior high students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We obtained data from 328 seventh through ninth grade students enrolled in an urban school district in the Delta region of Arkansas. Students used the same online learning platform, Lincoln Learning Solutions, receiving instruction in virtual, mixed, or on-site learning environments. We examined the total time spent in each course, overall assignment completion, and average grades for science, mathematics, and ELA. Our results show that when we considered only the learning environment, students in the on-site environment consistently outperformed their peers in the virtual learning environment across all subjects and grade levels, except for mathematics at the eighth-grade level. However, when we also considered students’ online assignment behaviors (time spent working on assignments, and number of assignments completed), there was a significant improvement in the prediction of academic performance for mathematics in the seventh and ninth grade, for science at the eighth-grade level, and for ELA at the ninth-grade level.

Credit Accessibility Across Indian States: Evidence From Club Convergence
Authors: Haider Salman , Adil Masudul Hasan
Published: May 2023

Indian states are immensely heterogeneous in terms of their socioeconomic activities. The economic structure of India is consequently bifurcated too. This study examines, under given heterogeneities, whether credit accessibility among states converges over time, particularly in industrial and agricultural lending. We employ the concept of club convergence and find that substantial heterogeneities and multiple transition paths exist for industrial credit convergence across states, while agriculture credit is relatively less heterogeneous as compared with industry. Therefore, more attention is required to reduce access to banking credit for industries in poorer states.

The foundation of the judiciary in Indonesia is a judiciary based on Pancasila which places human dignity in its place and carries out the protection and guarantee of human rights. In making a decision, the judge's decision must always be based on a case delegation letter containing all charges for the defendant's guilt. The judge must be able to process and process the data obtained during the trial process in terms of evidence, witness statements, defense of the defendant, as well as prosecutors' demands, and psychological content. The task of legal judges in determining the decision to be handed down to the defendant is very heavy. Therefore, a system is needed to assist the judges in court, in this case, the judge, so a decision support system is needed to facilitate judges in making decisions based on the facts of the investigation and the facts of the trial. The aim is to assist judges in making decisions on criminal cases of murder that are suspected of being accused. This support system will be applied using the Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) method using the criteria of Accompanying Allegations, Goods/evidence, mitigating and aggravating things. The results show that the decision support system can help judges, where the system provides recommendations for decisions against the defendant such as the sentence does not need to be reduced, the sentence is reduced and the defendant is released.

Acne vulgaris is a skin disease that is often found in adolescents, 85% of adolescents are affected with a certain severity, and most often appears at the age of 15-18 years old, both in men and women. This study was conducted to investigate the association between family history, stress, sleep quality, consumption of dairy products, and zinc levels on the severity of acne vulgaris. The analytical observational study using cross sectional design. The sample in this study were students of class XI IPS 1 SMA Methodist 1 Medan who suffered acne vulgaris as many as 31 people who met the inclusion criteria. The instruments used were family history questionnaire, PSS, PSQI, food consumption questionnaire, and laboratory examination of serum zinc levels. The results of the test using Kruskal wallis from this study, there is an association of family history with the severity of acne vulgaris (p = 0.006), while the factors of sleep quality and consumption of dairy products cannot affect the severity of acne vulgaris (p = 0.932), (p = 0.082) ). Similarly, stress did not have an association to the severity of acne vulgaris (p = 0.412), so also with zinc levels did not have an association (p = 0.788). There is a family history relationship on the severity of acne vulgaris, and there is no association between stress, sleep quality, and consumption of dairy products and zinc levels on the severity of acne vulgaris.

Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah Bagaimanakah penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana narkotika di Wilayah Hukum Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir (Studi Kasus perkara No. BP/44A/X/2021/Sat Resnarkoba/)?.Apa saja faktor yang mempengaruhi penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana narkotika di Wilayah Hukum Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir (Studi Kasus perkara No. BP/44A/X/2021/Sat Resnarkoba/)?. Penelitian ini tergolong penelitian yuridis normatif. Sumber data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan jawaban, bahwa 1) Penegakan Hukum Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Narkotika di Wilayah Hukum Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir (Studi Kasus perkara No. BP/44A/X/2021/Sat Resnarkoba/) telah ditegakkan secara penal sesuai dengan ketentuan dalam Undang-Undang No 35 Tahun 2009 pasal 111 dan 112, namun masih kurang efektif; 2) Faktor-faktor yang  mempengaruhi Penegakan Hukum Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Narkotika di Wilayah Hukum Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir (Studi Kasus perkara No. BP/44A/X/2021/Sat Resnarkoba/) antara lain yaitu: pertama, Substansi Hukum. Substansi hukum menyangkut peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku dan menjadi pedoman bagi aparat penegak hukum di wilayah Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir, dalam   hal ini Undang-Undang   Nomor   35   Tahun   2009   Tentang Narkotika, Undang-undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 Tentang Hukum Acara Pidana, Undang-undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2002 Tentang Kepolisian Republik Indonesia. Pasal 3 Undang-undang Narkotika yang mengatur bahwa undang-undang narkotika ini diselenggarakan berasaskan keadilan, pengayoman, kemanusiaan, ketertiban, perlindungan, keamanan, nilai-nilai ilmiah; dan kepastian hukum. Namun, di dalam praktiknya lambat dalam menyesuaikan dengan perkembangan-perkembangan dalam masyarakat. Lambatnya penyesuaian dengan perkembangan zaman ini, mengakibatkan substansi undang-undang ini memiliki beberapa kelemahan antara lain substansi peraturan perundang-undangan narkotika yang tidak responsif.  Kedua, Struktur Hukum dari Kepolisian Resor Ogan Ilir telah dibentuk Satuan Kerja (Satker) atau unit-unit yang menanggani masalah narkotika secara terstruktur namun belum berjalan efektif dan optimal. dan Ketiga, Budaya Hukum, hal ini menyangkut masyarakat dimana masyarakat dalam penegakan hukum terhadap penyalahgunaan narkotika belum banyak berpartisipasi aktif terutama diwilayah Ogan Ilir. Hal ini disebabkan adanya rasa enggan dan takut untuk melaporkan kejahatan itu, masyarakat atau pelapor belum merasa terlindungi keselamatannya.

Pekerjaanak merupakan masalah yang cukup kompleks.Halini dapat dipengaruhioleh berbagai faktor sepertikemiskinan,kondisianak,keluarga dan budayamasyarakat. Mempekerjakan anak tidak juga selalu berdampak negatif,karena dengan anakbekerja dapat melatih kemampuanfisik,mental,sosial sertaintelektualitas anak. Meskipun dalam praktiknya tidakdapat dihindari banya kterjadinya diskriminasi ataupun eksploitasi yang dialami oleh pekerjaanak Pekerja anaktidak selalu bekerja dalam sektorformal,namun pekerjaanak justru lebih banyak yang berkecimpung diluar sektorformal(informal) sehingga tidakadanya hubungan kerja yangjelas.Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian yuridisnormatif.Sifat penelitian dalam penelitian ini adalah bersifat deskriptif analitis.Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitiankepustakaan (library research).Sumber data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder yang  berupa bahan hukum primer:KitabUndang-UndangHukumPerdata BW (Burgerlijk Wetbook),Udang-undang Republik Indonesia No.13Tahun2003Tentang Ketenagakerjaan,bahan hukumsekunder:yaitu bahan-bahan hukum yang diperoleh buku-bukubacaan dan laporan-laporan hasil penelitianhukum, dan bahan hukum tersier.Hak-hak yang seharusnya didapatkan oleh pekerja anak sebagaimana yang telah diatur dalam Undang-UndangNomor13Tahun2003Tentang Ketenagakerjaan yangmeliputi:1)Hak Mendapatkan Gaji yang Layak,2)Hak Mendapatkan Waktu Kerja yangSesuai,3)Hak Mendapatkan Waktu Istirahat dan CutiyangCukup,4)Hak MendapatkanPendidikan,5) Hak Mendapatkan Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja.

In teacher training there is a before and after the pandemic (Picón, et al., 2020). Although there was a scheme before covid-19 (Mendiola et al., 2020), it has now been detected that said training that was given in person (Suárez, 2020) was insufficient (Cardona et al., 2020) since the health emergency (Garavito et al., 2020) had a precedent that showed a different reality. This research determines the training provided before (Prieto et al., 2020) and after the pandemic (Zavala et al., 2020), the characteristics of groups of teachers who, framed in a digital divide (Fernández et al. , 2020) were adapting to forced marches with digital and virtual scenarios (Argandoña et al., 2020) for which they were not prepared (Trejos et al., 2020) and that generated teaching and learning problems with students who claimed to be knowledgeable. of technology (Ardini et al., 2020) but who also attended the paradigm of digital youth who only knew about social networks but not about educational platforms (Sarobe et al., 2020). Studies were carried out on 80 teachers from two higher education institutions and 104 students through probabilistic, homogeneous, expert, systematic random sampling, by quotas, of which 80% were not prepared for virtual classes, 20% who If he considered himself prepared, it is because he was already teaching online classes, among other relevant data declared in this document. This through a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 and 2020. Therefore, it is considered essential that all teachers and students are always trained on digital educational platforms even when the subjects are face-to-face. Teachers must always be up to date to provide quality education and show that a teacher should always be the best student by being up to date.

We examined the swimming parameters and oxygen consumption rate at four temperature levels (15，20，25 and 30°C) of Siniperca knerii Garman (11.81 ±2.21 cm, 26.4 ± 6.28g) from Yuanshui River for 30 days to analyze the ecological adaptability of the typical fish and the conservation of fishery resources from the Dongting Lake water system. Their relationship was also analyzed, and the results showed an approximately linear increasing trend of the fish’s critical swimming speed and preferred swimming speed with the change of temperature (P<0.05). In contrast, the induction velocity of fish decreased with the increase in water temperature. The relative induction velocities of the fish at four temperatures were (1.16±0.07), (0.94±0.06), (0.86±0.07), and (0.70±0.09) BL/s (Body Length/s). The preferred swimming speed was (1.86±0.04), (2.23±0.35), (2.65±0.28), and (2.74±0.33) BL/s. The relative critical speed was (2.58 ±0.32), (3.31±0.41), (4.31±0.52), and (5.22±0.48) BL/s. According to oxygen consumption rate at different temperatures, four nonlinear function models of the relationship between oxygen consumption rate of water temperature and swimming speed behavior parameters were obtained by nonlinear fitting. The model proved that the oxygen consumption rate, tail beating frequency, and respiratory rate increased with the increase in swimming speed. The higher the temperature, the more significant the changes were. The results showed that water temperature significantly affected the swimming characteristics of juvenile Siniperca knerii Garman. The changes were due to physiological and biochemical regulation with temperature and environmental changes. This experiment provided essential data support for the adaptive mechanism of sports physiology and ecology of typical fishes in the Yuanshui River.
