Longitudinal Consistency of Demographic Impact on School Accountability in Arkansas: A Multi-Year Linear Regression Analysis of ESSA Scores
Authors: Mills Michael , Wake Donna , Dailey Debbie
Published: December 2023

This study explores the extent to which demographic factors influence a school's letter grade under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) guidelines in Arkansas. The research has two primary objectives: first, to analyze the impact of demographic variables on school ratings within the Arkansas education system, and second, to identify potential predictive variables that significantly affect a school's ESSA score. The study focuses on the predictive power of race and socio-economic status on ESSA index scores and examines disparities in the representation of various demographic groups in schools with differing ESSA letter grades. The findings aim to provide a nuanced understanding of the relationship between school demographics and performance evaluations, highlighting the need for more equitable and effective policy decisions. This research is expected to contribute to a reassessment of current evaluative metrics and promote a more inclusive and representative educational assessment system.

This article seeks to analyze and remedy progress and development in relation to accessibility for people with disabilities, with the main focus on people with hearing disabilities, using innovative artificial intelligence technologies to engage, motivate and attract technology enthusiasts, professionals in the academic field focused on teaching Libras and also the hearing impaired. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, we opted for a variety of bibliographical and documentary research, listing statistics from the most varied public sources from the various spheres that make up Brazilian health and education. To support the ideas explained in this article, we relied on the expertise of theorists. This research was carried out at Faculdade Metropolitana de Manaus - FAMETRO. The subjects surveyed are part of the student body at this institution. After concluding the research, the results achieved led to a better understanding that the basis for better integration of the hearing impaired in various environments and social positions begins with a primary education that is accessible to the demands of the deaf. The school plays an important role in the teaching and learning process and is responsible for improving the education rates of the hearing impaired, which has an impact on their integration into society. In addition to primary education with a focus on accessibility for the deaf, it is necessary, as we will present later in this article, to introduce more accessible environments, using the wide range of innovative technologies present today, which as a result of their use end up causing the hearing impaired to adapt better to the various environments they frequent.

Published: December 2023

Background: Liver disorders in pregnancy encompass a spectrum of diseases encountered during antenatal and postnatal period resulting in abnormal liver function tests and hepatobiliary dysfunction or both. This study is aimed at determining the pattern of liver disorders during pregnancy. Methods:One hundred patients with liver disorders during pregnancy during the period of one year were included. Data was recorded in Excel workbook and analyzed. Results:91% of the women had liver disorders peculiar to pregnancy while 7% of the women had liver diseases which were coincidental to pregnancy while 2 women had preexisting liver disease. Our study observed that 2 women had chronic hepatitis. Five percent of the women had hepatitis B and 2% had chronic hepatitis C infection. Forty percent of the women had preeclampsia, 26% had cholestasis, and 2% had acute liver failure. The most common antepartum complication was gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia (34% followed by IUGR (17%). Conclusions:Liver disease has deleterious effect on pregnancy outcome with increased maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Timely diagnosis by proper antenatal check-up, early interventions and intensive monitoring of both mother and fetus with the teamwork of obstetrician, physician, gastroenterologist, and anaesthetist can prevent and reduce feto-maternal morbidity and mortality.

This study investigated the socio-demographic determinants of compliance with safety measures among medical workers in government-owned colleges, polytechnics, and universities in Delta State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted. The population of the study comprised of 450 staff from various medical health care centers, with a sample size of 315 participants selected through systematic and purposive sampling techniques. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire, divided into sections addressing demographic data and safety compliance variables, using a five-point scale ranging from very low to very high extent. Data collection was facilitated by twelve trained research assistants over a one-month period. The analysis, conducted using SPSS, utilized percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression. In gender, males constitute the highest group with 58.1%, while females represent the lower group at 41.9%. Regarding age, the 30-39 years group forms the largest segment at 31.1%, whereas individuals below 20 years are the smallest group, accounting for only 3.5%. In educational attainment, the majority (72.4%) have tertiary education, with primary education being non-existent (0.0%) in this sample. Concerning work experience, the 1-4 years category is predominant at 39.0%, and those with less than a years experience form the smallest group at 1.3%.The findings revealed that the workers extent of compliance to Safe Waste Management (3.56Â±0.900) and Use of PPE (3.41Â±1.001) was high. While their compliance to Safety Training (2.58Â±0.800) and Disease Prevention Safety Practices (2.94Â±1.021) was moderate.The institution administration complied with safety measure to moderately (2.87Â±0.967). The study found significant relationships between compliance and socio-demographic factors, such as age, education level, and work experience, and work experience (p<0.05). In line with the findings, it was recommended among others that institutions develop and implement ongoing, tailored training programs. These programs should be designed to address specific needs and gaps in knowledge and practices.

Competitiveness of regional labor markets as a determinant of international migration: A nexus empirical study
Authors: Vasyltsiv Taras , Levytska Olha , Shushkova Yuliia , Voronko Oksana , Kohut Maryana
Published: December 2023

A large-scale migration from Ukraine caused by russian military aggression has triggered new security challenges to the national and regional economies. The paper aims to assess the competitiveness of regional labor markets and examine its nexus with international out-migration (on the example of the Carpathian region of Ukraine). The research methods include a composite approach (assessment of labor market competitiveness), the theory of sensitivity (identification of degree of sensitivity of composite and partial indices to changes in indicators), nonlinear regression (determination of dependence of the international out-migration on labor market competitiveness), and econometric nonlinear optimization (calculation of critical values of migration). The information and analytical basis comprises indicators reflecting the development of labor markets and international migrations in the oblasts of the Carpathian region in 2008–2021. The study reveals that the level of labor market competitiveness in the region mainly remained below the national average. Two groups of indicators dominated the structure of composite indices of labor market competitiveness in the region’s oblasts: institutional capacity (indicators measuring the ability of regulatory institutions and labor market entities to provide adequate support to the unemployed and promote employment) and labor motivation (wage and income indicators). Only Lviv oblast demonstrated resilience and growth of competitiveness, which was reflected in moderate out-migration. Meanwhile, the intensity of international out-migration in Zakarpattia and Chernivtsi oblasts (with worse labor market parameters) exceeded the estimated critical values. The paper confirms that low competitiveness of the labor market is a factor increasing migration losses.

Elementos da construção histórica dos direitos humanos na primeira metade do século 20: As contribuições de André Mandelstam e H. G. Wells
Authors: Iachtechen Fabio Luciano , Rodrigues Verone Lane
Published: December 2023

Este estudo propõe analisar as contribuições de dois autores, o jurista russo—francês André Mandelstam e o escritor inglês H. G. Wells, para a construção dos direitos humanos na primeira metade do século XX. Mandelstam foi autor de um dos primeiros textos sobre direitos humanos em âmbito internacional, a Declaração dos Direitos Internacionais do Homem de 1929, no âmbito do Institut de Droit International de Paris. Já Wells participou ativamente da formação da Liga das Nações como delegado inglês, e em 1940 publicou The rights of man, um manifesto com onze pontos sobre direitos fundamentais que formaram uma base para declaração da ONU de 1948. A proposta é analisar como estes autores, à sua maneira, ajudaram a fomentar os direitos humanos em um contexto em que o conceito ainda não tinha um sentido legal e universalista, e estava fortemente abalado pela ameaça das grandes guerras mundiais.
Indigenous Counseling: Suphistic Counseling Practices in Pesantren
Authors: Umriana Anila , Murtadho Ali , Fahmi Mohammad
Published: December 2023

One problem in the implementation of counseling in Indonesia is related to cultural bias. This is because counseling theories originally derive from theories based on Western cultural values. Indigenous counseling with a Sufistic approach is one way to address this cultural bias. This research aims to deeply explore counseling practices in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and the Sufistic values in their counseling services. The study is a qualitative-exploratory descriptive-research using a qualitative-ethnographic-interpretive approach. Data collection techniques involve participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings of this research indicate significant differences in characteristics between professional counseling (western) and counseling in pesantren, including inequality between counselors and clients (unequal relationship). Moreover, their relationship is likened to that of a father and son, appearing as a superior-inferior relationship. The Sufistic values applied in counseling services include humility (tawadu), obedience to the advice of the kyai as a counselor, limiting the principle of client confidentiality, and providing solutions directly through advice and religious prayers (wirid). Further research can be conducted to measure the effectiveness of Sufistic values in counseling services in pesantren.

Published: December 2023

The book of Risalatul Falakiyah is the work of KH. Misbachul Munir has a unique side compared to the Gregorian Calendar in general. This uniqueness is seen at the start of the calculation of the day and the market, namely Tuesday Pahing, while the count generally starts on Sunday Legi. This article aims to analyze the total of the Gregorian Calendar based on the book of Risalatul Falakiyah based on Karl Poper's falsification theory and analyze the accuracy of the comparison between the concept of calculating the Gregorian Calendar of the book of Risalatul Falakiyah using contemporary calculations based on technology. This research uses library research by conducting qualitative-descriptive analysis of data collected through documentation and interviews. The results showed: First, based on Karl Popper's falsification theory that the Gregorian calendar calculation theory of the book of Risalatul Falakiyah by K.H Misbachul Munir was proven by its correctness by comparing and testing its calculations with the standard formula of science obtained the same results. Second, based on the comparison and testing of technology-based calendar masehi calculations with mawaqit, it was found that the calendar calculation results from the book of Risalatul Falakiyah had the same accuracy as the calculation of mawaqit software.
Analysis of discharge characteristics of a symmetrical stepped labyrinth side weir based on global sensitivity
Authors: Wan Wuyi , Shen Guiying , Li Shanshan , Parsaie Abbas , Wang Yuhang , Zhou Yu
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the discharge coefficient prediction model for this structure in a subcritical flow regime is first established by extreme learning machine (ELM) and Bayesian network, and the model's performance is analyzed and verified in detail. In addition, the global sensitivity analysis method is introduced to the optimal prediction model to analyze the sensitivity for the dimensionless parameters affecting the discharge coefficient. The results show that the Bayesian extreme learning machine (BELM) can effectively predict the discharge coefficients of the symmetric stepped labyrinth side weir. The range of 95% confidence interval [−0.055,0.040] is also significantly smaller than that of the ELM ([−0.089,0.076]) and the Kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) ([−0.091,0.081]) at the testing stage. The dimensionless parameter ratio of upstream water depth of stepped labyrinth side weir p/y1 has the greatest effect on the discharge coefficient Cd, accounting for 55.57 and 54.17% under single action and other parameter interactions, respectively. Dimensionless step number bs/L has little effect on Cd, which can be ignored. Meanwhile, when the number of steps is less (N = 4) and the internal head angle is smaller (θ = 45°), a larger discharge coefficient value can be obtained.

Published: December 2023

This study evaluates the performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for treating wastewater from the laminated plywood industry. To this end, a pilot-scale MBR was operated for 60 days with a hydraulic retention time of 20 h and a solid retention time of 20 days. The reactor's performance was assessed based on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), phenol, turbidity, and apparent color. Furthermore, we monitored the solids content, dissolved oxygen concentration, and pH of the mixed liquor, as well as the progression of the transmembrane pressure (TMP). The wastewater exhibited a COD/biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) ratio of 5.5, suggesting low biodegradability, usually when this ratio is higher than 4.0. Nevertheless, it was observed that the MBR's performance was stable and satisfactory, with average removal efficiencies of 98% for COD, 70% for phenol, 99% for turbidity, and 93% for true color. The evolution of TMP indicated gradual membrane fouling; however, the operational limit of 0.6 bar was not reached during the study period. In conclusion, the utilization of MBR presents a promising approach to mitigate the environmental impacts associated with wastewater from the laminated plywood industry.

Strategy on development of the pharmaceutical industry for the period up to 2030 (Pharma-2030 Strategy), adopted in the Russian Federation this year, includes tasks to further saturate the national market with domestic medicines and to “realize the export potential of the pharmaceutical industry”. National drug regulation has a significant stimulating effect on the export of medicines. To identify the most important elements of this regulation related to the development and maintenance of sustainable pharmaceutical export, different aspects of national drug regulatory systems were studied. Countries belonging to different segments of the global pharmaceutical export market were included in the research. The results of the analysis of drug regulation in top export countries were published earlier. This article presents the results for pharmerging countries with a fastgrowing pharmaceutical sector and formulated common strategies for these countries that are aimed at achieving leadership positions of the national pharmaceutical industry in both the domestic and foreign markets. Several measures have been proposed for inclusion in the implementation plan for the Pharma-2030 Strategy, which, in our opinion, will contribute to achieving the goals set both to stimulate exports and to saturate the Russian market with domestic medicines.
Budgetary Policy and Structural Transformation of the Russian Economy
Authors: Bukina I. S.
Published: December 2023

Recently the Russian economy in addition to global trends has been affected by structural shocks. Fiscal instruments make it possible to respond both to temporary fluctuations in business activity and to support economy restructuring. The existing Russian fiscal reserves made it possible to cope with the first consequences of the sanctions. Estimated effectiveness of the budget impulse in 2022 was twice as high as in 2020. However, the risks of fiscal policy are increasing due to an unforeseen increase in spending, the need to increase the tax burden on the economy and the build-up of public debt. The paper proposes measures to redistribute the tax burden between the export-oriented sector and domestic producers, approaches to the use of digital financial assets in taxation, measures to develop the debt market and other areas of supporting the structural transformation of the Russian economy.

Innovative Thought of Critical Ethnography in the Dominance of Excellent Theory in the Research and Practice of Public Relations
Authors: Kriyantono Rachmat
Published: December 2023

This study aims to describe the critical ethnographic approach as innovative thinking in the study and practice of public relations amid the dominance of excellent theory. The importance of promoting this approach is also driven by the desire that public relations studies and practices are not fixed on just one type of paradigm, but other paradigms must be developed to enrich the study of Public relations. By reviewing 20 literature, books and journal articles, the author reveals some criticism of the excellent theory, a dominant theory in public relations research and practices. The excellent theory, which is called a normative model, is perceived difficult to apply to different organizational conditions, therefore, there is an assumption that the model is only utopian. The symmetric model is too focused on communication between organizations and the public so that it pays little attention to aspects of relationships. Some critics offer new approaches that based on the view that the practice and study of public relations should not be limited to placing public relations activities as a value-free entity and based on certain systematics and standards to guarantee its objectivity. This view leads to offer a critical ethnography to be adopted in public relations research and practices.

Komunikasi Antarpribadi untuk Membangun Kedekatan Antara Relawan Komunitas Sahabat Anak Kanker (SAK) Malang dengan Anak Penderita Kanker
Authors: Sholihah Umi
Published: December 2023

Pediatric cancer patients often experience side effects from treatment, both physically and psychologically. The impact of this treatment, necessitates special assistance, which can be done through interpersonal communication to provide support for children with cancer. However, previous studies have not focused much on the closeness that ultimately builds on forms of interpersonal communication in the world of health. So, through phenomenological design, this study aims to determine interpersonal communication carried out to build closeness between volunteers of the Malang Cancer Child Friends Community (SAK) with children with cancer. Data collection was conducted by in-depth interviews with six informants who were SAK volunteers. The results of this study show that in general volunteers interpret the purpose of mentoring to build relationships, help, and comfort children with cancer. Meanwhile, in terms of the closeness of volunteers with children with cancer, volunteers interpret closeness based on the intensity of meetings, children's desire to meet volunteers, and volunteers' personal abilities in approaching children. Furthermore, in looking at the characteristics of communication, in general, volunteers recognize differences in terms of physical, psychic, and child maturity. So this condition requires volunteers to be more careful and patient in communicating with children with cancer.

The utilization of podcast platforms for disseminating disability awareness by content creators Afif, Argya, and Dhani is motivated by various factors, such as ease of use and wider dissemination beyond the limitations of space and time. Their podcast content educates the general public about disability awareness, aiming to challenge the prevailing stigma surrounding disabled individuals. By employing their respective communication strategies to package the messages conveyed in their podcast content, they aspire to make their educational efforts accessible to a broader audience. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection involves observation and interviews with the three research subjects. The findings reveal that all three creators have communication strategies aligned with the developmental communication and empowerment perspectives. Additionally, the research identifies that the three creators engage in innovation diffusion to enhance disability awareness within society. The study also outlines the stages involved in the creation and dissemination of podcast content by these creators. The responses received after creating podcast content include both positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback includes increased knowledge and behavioral changes experienced by the listeners, indicating the effectiveness of the communication strategies employed. Consequently, the messages conveyed are not only well-received but also put into practice by the audience. On the other hand, negative feedback indicates the persistence of negative prejudices from some listeners concerning the experiences shared by disabled creators.

Politics and identity are closely related to the practice of power in a particular area. In the 2019 election phenomenon in Indonesia, the concept of symbols and identities of parties and election participants were scattered, both directly and in the media frame. The construction of party identity symbols and figures carried by election participants consists of parties and individuals, for example the PDI-Perjuangan, Democrats and Gerindra. While the symbolic figures are Jokowi, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Prabowo, and Sandiaga Uno. By looking at the level of power relations and the relationship between political symbols, it can be identified the concept of political propaganda through these symbols in order to gain power, or lay the foundation of certain ideologies.

In this prospective, double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial, it was evaluated whether paracetamol, as an adjunct to NSAID and opioid analgesia, might limit the requirements for intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative methadone administration in dogs undergoing a singlesite thoracolumbar hemilaminectomy for surgical treatment of an intervertebral disc extrusion. Twelve client-owned dogs were randomly assigned to two multimodal analgesia groups: NSAID + paracetamol group (group NP) and NSAID + placebo group (group N). Intraoperative analgesic assessment was based on the clinical evaluation of a nociceptive response, whereas postoperative analgesic assessment was determined by using the short form of the Glasgow Composite Pain Scale. No statistically significant difference was found in both groups for the intraoperative need for fentanyl (P = 0.18). The probability of having to administer rescue analgesia postoperatively was significantly higher in group N than in group NP (P = 0.01). For both groups, there were no serious side effects reported, nor was any significant difference found between both groups regarding the occurrence of side effects (P = 0.55). Despite multimodal perioperative pain management consisting of a full μ-agonist opioid, a NSAID and paracetamol, intraoperative rescue analgesia was still required, although the need for postoperative opioid based analgesia was significantly lower in group NP.
Opnieuw wolven (Canis lupus) in België: korte beschrijving van het eerste decennium (2011 – 2021)
Authors: De Smet J.
Published: December 2023

Ruim een eeuw na de totale uitroeiing van de wolven in België voltooid in 1898, werden vanaf 2011 regelmatig opnieuw dergelijke dieren opgemerkt, eerst in de Ardennen, maar al snel ook in noordelijk Limburg. De eerste wolven kwamen uit Midden-Europa via Duitsland en Nederland het land binnen. In 2019 werd een dier met Zuid-Europese (Italiaanse) roots gesignaleerd. Intussen waren de ‘eigen’ wolven hier al aan het kweken. Een bondige beschrijving wordt gegeven van de ongelooflijke mobiliteit van deze dieren en van de gevaren die ze meebrengen. Ondanks de overvloedige beschikbaarheid van voedsel in de wildbaan, kleine en ook grote prooidieren (evers, hertachtigen), vormen onbeschermde huisdieren – vooral schapen – een nog gemakkelijker te bemachtigen voedselbron. Zelf zijn vooral jonge, onervaren wolven frequent het slachtoffer van het drukke verkeer op ons dichte wegennet.
Van verenigingen voor tuberculosebestrijding tot Dierengezondheidszorg Vlaanderen (DGZ)

Vanaf 1935 werden (vrijwillige) plaatselijke verenigingen voor tuberculosebestrijding opgericht (op gemeentelijke basis). Tuberculose teisterde toen ongeveer 35% van de rundveebedrijven. Via de consumptie van rauwe melk en zuivelproducten werden veel mensen besmet. Naast besmettingen tussen mensen onderling (direct of indirect) vormde dit een belangrijke besmettingsbron van tuberculose (‘tering’), waarvoor nog geen antibacteriële middelen beschikbaar waren.

Published: December 2023

Collaborative International Online Learning (COIL) provides students meaningful and valuable engagement with students in another country to reach the goals of academic programs at the participating institutions. The strategy has demonstrated benefits for nursing students, including the acquisition of self-awareness, empathy, cultural humility, and leadership skills. The aim of this study was to share the results of the partnership in a COIL project using digital technology between a university in the United States and a university in Spain. The goals of this collaboration were twofold: to expose students in the U.S. and Spain to an international experience on mental health and to provide a comparative view of their respective health care systems. The chosen technique focuses on perceptions of mental health and how mental health care is delivered in clinical settings. A total of 166 students took part in this experience. The virtual exchange allowed students and faculty to share best practices in caring for people with mental illness. Nursing students providing care to COVID-19 patients reflected on lessons learned during the pandemic and its impact on community mental health. Small group activities such as icebreakers, homework assignments, and reflections were used to share and compare experiences. Students completed COIL surveys, which demonstrated that students from both countries perceived learning gains using evidence-based best practices related to key nursing concepts in a mutually respectful virtual exchange. The results show a perceived increase in the comprehension of mental health-related content and enhancement of clinical practice. Therefore, the COIL methodology is a feasible option as it allows for an intercultural exchange with an in-depth examination of content from the learners and teaching perspectives. In addition, it prepares students to work in international teams virtually.
