Lesing sammen med hele barnegruppen på avdelingen – en studie av lesepraksiser i norske barnehager
Authors: Stangeland Elisabeth Brekke , Bergene Ann Cecilie , Hoel Trude
Published: February 2025

Leseaktiviteter i barnehagen har stor verdi for barns språk- og literacyutvikling. Når alle barna deltar i lesingen, kan de felleskulturelle erfaringene som lesingen gir, også ha en inkluderende funksjon for barn som vanligvis ikke deltar. I studien utforskes faktorer som kan forklare norske barnehagelæreres (N = 1192) selvrapporterte lesepraksiser knyttet til høytlesning for hele barnegruppen. Resultatene viser at å lese én eller flere bøker for hele barnegruppen er vanlig, men tjue prosent oppgir at de ikke leste noen bøker i hel gruppe sist uke. Strukturelle (aldersfordeling) og organisatoriske (faste rutiner) faktorer forklarer i større grad enn motivasjonelle (viktigste grunn til å lese) faktorer hvor mange bøker barnehagelærere oppgir å ha lest for hele barnegruppen. Studien viser at motivasjonelle faktorer, som språklæring og leseglede, er etablerte som grunnlag for barnehagens lesepraksis. Samtidig synliggjør resultatene et behov foren bredere tilnærming til lesing for hele barnegruppen, hvor inkludering og felleskulturelle erfaringer inngår.
English abstract
Reading Together With the Entire Group of Children in The Classroom – A Study of Reading Practices in Norwegian Kindergartens
Reading activities in the kindergarten are vital for children’s language and literacy development. When all the children participate in the reading session, the shared cultural experiences that the reading provides can also have an inclusive function. This study explores factors that can explain Norwegian kindergarten teachers’ (N = 1,192) self-reported reading practices related to shared reading for the entire group of children. The results show that reading one or more books for the whole group of children is common, but 20 per cent state that they did not read any books together with the full group last week. Structural (age distribution) and organizational (fixed routines) factors explain to a greater extent than motivational (most important reason for reading) factors how many books kindergarten teachers report having read for the entire group of children. Because motivational factors, such as language learning and pleasure for reading, are established, these results call for a broader approach to reading with the entire group of children, which includes inclusion and shared cultural experiences.
A Report of Novel Post-Laparotomy Gabapentin-Related Mucositis in a Feline
Authors: Williams Rachel E. , Mahvan Tracy D. , Mahvan Nadia
Published: February 2025

A 1-year-old male neutered domestic short-hair feline presented with acute onset anorexia, vomiting, constipation, anuria, and hypodipsia. The patient was not diagnosed at the primary presenting veterinary clinic and was referred to a higher level of care. An exploratory laparotomy exposed a non-linear foreign body obstruction of the proximal small intestine which was removed. The patient’s post-surgical medications included a single dose of robenacoxib with 14 days of amoxicillin/clavulanate and gabapentin. The owner noticed signs of mucositis one day after administration of the antibiotic and gabapentin. Administration trauma was discounted as the cause due to the extension of mucositis around the mouth beyond the area of administration. Discontinuation of the gabapentin suspension resulted in the resolution of the symptoms. The antibiotic liquid was continued without incident. The treatment for this adverse effect was discontinuation of gabapentin which resulted in a full recovery within 24 hours. No further treatment of the mucositis was required. Gabapentin is commonly used in veterinary practice for its sedating and analgesic effects. Its common side effects are usually limited to ataxia and sedation with possible vomiting in felines. However, in this case of post-operative care for extraction of a non-linear foreign body obstruction, gabapentin incited an acute inflammatory response in the mucosa. This is the first report of a feline mucositis or cheilitis adverse reaction to gabapentin in the literature.

Public Transport Management - where do we stand?
Authors: Maia Pereira André , Laborda Josep
Published: February 2025

The key function of Public Transport Management (PTM) is to merge behavioural science and systems engineering to determine how to improve the flow of passengers on mass public transport. The efficiency of a transport system depends on several elements, such as available technology, governmental policies, the planning process, and control strategies. The key element lies in the digitalisation approach of all public transport services as well as real-time information, thus standardization is necessary for a consistent and comprehensive definition of how data is to be reported.

Authors: Goerl Friedemann , Sander Frederik , Guschel Robert , Koszowski Caroline , Gerike Regine
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the methodology for developing a significance map for pedestrian traffic using the city of Leipzig as an example. Based on assumptions about the relevance and catchment areas of origins
and destinations for pedestrian traffic, significance levels are assigned to public spaces. These represent the potential for pedestrian traffic that can be expected from the urban structures in the vicinity of the respective public spaces. The significance map created in this way allows for hierarchization of pedestrian networks and prioritization of measures promoting pedestrian traffic.

Urate nephrolithiasis in ranch mink
Authors: Tomlinson Michael J. , Perman Victor , Westlake Robert L.
Published: February 2025

Urate nephrolithiasis with epistaxis and bleeding around foot pads was diagnosed in ranch mink. Investigation of affected, unaffected-related, and unaffected-unrelated mink did not disclose the cause of these problems but did eliminate inherited bleeding disorders as a cause of the bleeding. All affected mink were males, had been sired by related sires, and were affected in the 1st year of life. Elimination of affected mink and their parents from the breeding stock eliminated the condition from the herd. The findings were consistent with an inherited defect in uric acid metabolism or excretion.
Paradoxic hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia associated with chronic renal failure in horses
Authors: Tennant Bud , Bettleheim P. , Kaneko J. J.
Published: February 2025

Chronic renal failure associated with hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia was diagnosed in 6 horses. The renal lesions in 5 of the horses were classified as chronic glomerulonephritis and in the sixth, as chronic interstitial nephritis/pyelonephritis. There was no evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism or pseudohyperparathyroidism, thus suggesting that hypercalcemia associated with advanced renal failure in horses is related to a unique role of the equine kidney in calcium homeostasis.

Authors: Mahaffey Edward A. , Cornelius L. M.
Published: February 2025

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) was measured in 40 nondiabetic hospitalized dogs, 16 clinically normal laboratory colony dogs, and 16 diabetic dogs. Mean HbA1 values (% of total Hb) for the 3 groups were 6.43, 5.62, and 9.63, respectively. The mean values for the 2 nondiabetic groups differed significantly (P<0.05), and the mean values for the nondiabetic dogs were significantly lower than the mean value for that of the diabetic dogs (P<0.001). Fifteen of 16 diabetic dogs had HbA1 concentrations greater than 7.5%. These results suggested that HbA1 measurement may be valuable for monitoring effectiveness of therapy in canine diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Glisan Gary L. , Steele James H. , Whitford Howard , Christensen Bobbe L. , Kapadia Asha
Published: February 2025

A study based on a review of records of bacterial cultures in 1974 and 1978 was conducted to ascertain any changes in patterns of antimicrobic resistance or susceptibility to 13 selected antimicrobics. Isolates of Salmonella spp, Escherichia coli (encapsulated), E coli (hemolytic), Pasteurella haemolytica, and Pasteurella multocida were obtained from bovine, equine, porcine, ovine, and caprine animals, or their tissues, submitted to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory from September 1973 through August 1974 and from September 1977 through August 1978. Two groups, bovine and combined species (including bovine), were formed. Information was collated by year and simple proportions, using the number of tests wherein the organism was resistant as the numerator and total sensitivity tests as the denominator, were calculated for each antimicrobic/organism combination. Proportions from year groups 1974 and 1978 were then compared to ascertain any changes in antimicrobic susceptibility. In the bovine group, encapsulated E coli had increased resistance to 3 antimicrobics and decreased resistance to 1 antimicrobic, hemolytic E coli had decreased resistance to 1 antimicrobic, Salmonella spp had decreased resistance to 6 antimicrobics, and P haemolytica had decreased resistance to 5 antimicrobics. In the combined species group, encapsulated E coli had decreased resistance to 2 antimicrobics, hemolytic E coli had decreased resistance to 1 antimicrobic and increased resistance to another antimicrobic, Salmonella spp had decreased resistance to 8 antimicrobics and increased resistance to 1 antimicrobic, P haemolytica had decreased resistance to 5 antimicrobics, and P multocida had decreased resistance to 2 antimicrobics.

The data indicated an overall decrease in the proportion of organisms resistant to antimicrobics in 1978, as compared with 1974.

Authors: Zhang Hui
Published: February 2025

This study aims to understand the characteristics of online learning behaviors among modern online education learners, implement these behaviors, propose strategies for learning support services, and propose reform proposals to enhance the quality of online teaching. This paper collects English learners’ online learning behavior data from relevant learning platforms and quantifies as well as processes the data. Subsequently, a model of behavioral analysis is constructed using social network analysis and the DBSCAN clustering method. The teacher takes the lead in teaching social behavior, ensuring that other English learners do not feel isolated from each other. By extracting the behavioral data of 5163 students for analysis, the English learners’ learning discussion time is mainly several at the beginning of the semester and the end of the semester, and the number of discussions at other times is almost zero. The DBSCAN clustering algorithm was used to classify English learners into three types, and intervention strategies were proposed for each type to improve teaching quality.

Authors: Yu Jiaze
Published: February 2025

The protection of user privacy data in the smart home environment has become an important way to maintain and optimise the wisdom of the group in the current information age. In this paper, we propose the key technologies for smart home privacy protection from the three levels of terminal devices, data transmission interfaces and application platforms. Based on API, we propose a privacy leakage detection scheme for the smart home platform, which combines with Hook technology to obtain device privacy information and complete privacy leakage detection. Based on the improved RAPPOR algorithm, the terminal data is grouped and then executed for privacy protection. The interface data security transmission scheme is constructed based on Chaotic Logistic and RC4 stream cipher. Application practice is carried out in a living room using a smart home in District A. The accuracy rate of the privacy leakage detection technology of this paper’s platform is as high as 97.8%, and the success rate of information processing of terminals applying this paper’s terminal privacy data protection technology always maintains the level of more than 97% in different data streams downward. The authentication phase has the lowest computational overhead among all accepted data transmission confidentiality methods, with just 0.068 ms. This paper’s smart home privacy protection technology performs well in terms of effectiveness and reliability.
The Complementary Role of Artificial Intelligence to Traditional Teaching Methods in Music Education and Its Educational Effectiveness
Authors: Zhang Lei
Published: February 2025

In the field of music education, the application of artificial intelligence technology is gradually changing the traditional teaching mode, providing new opportunities and challenges for music education. In this paper, we use artificial intelligence technology to build a smart classroom for music teaching and combine it with a user-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm to provide students with personalized music learning materials. Moreover, a treble feature extraction model is integrated into the smart classroom, and the DTW improvement algorithm is used to match the students’ treble features, and the student’s mastery of music skills in the smart classroom is evaluated through the sight-singing scoring technology. Students’ overall satisfaction ratings for the music teaching mode in the smart classroom designed in this paper were 4.35 to 4.60, and only a very few students disliked the teaching mode. The personalised recommendation system built in this paper has a precision rate, recall rate and F-value of 0.50, 0.41 and 0.38, respectively, when the number of recommendations is 50, and it can provide students with personalised music learning materials suitable for them. After the experiment, the average scores of the experimental class on pitch, rhythm, sight-reading ability, music notation, and polyphonic music perception increased by 7.72, 6.37, 7.82, 6.92, and 8.16 points, respectively, compared with the control class. In this paper, the difference between the intelligent scoring system and the teacher’s scores on the “pitch” scores is 0.036~4.903. Artificial intelligence technology provides an effective supplement to traditional music teaching and improves the personalization, efficiency, and quality of teaching.

With the development of virtual reality (VR) technology and augmented reality (AR), the communication media and expression of culture have been further expanded. In this paper, VR and AR technologies are applied to the digital IP character design of Min cultural heritage, focusing on the image generation and action recognition processes in the digital IP character design process. The LAFITE model is used to generate the digital IP image of Min cultural heritage, and after the pose representation of the digital IP character, the multi-class support vector mechanism is used to construct the action recognition model. The model tests proved that the FID and IS produced by the LAFITE model are superior to those produced by other traditional models by 30% to 316% and 6% to 48% respectively. The output images of the Min cultural heritage digital IP characters are also of better quality. The MSVM model exhibits a high recognition rate for various actions of the IP characters, with each index value exceeding 93%, thereby facilitating effective interaction and enrichment of digital IP characters. The image output and action recognition model proposed in the study can promote the innovative design of digital IP characters of Min culture and enhance the digital creative expression and interactive forms of Min culture.

Authors: Huang Yijing
Published: February 2025

To achieve common prosperity, rural revitalisation is the way to go, and to promote regional economic development and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, optimising the data-driven strategy of the e-commerce platform is an inevitable choice. This paper selects the data of 204 prefecture-level cities in China from 2014 to 2023 as the research sample, takes the e-commerce platform data-driven strategy optimisation demonstration area as a quasi-natural experiment, and adopts the multi-period DID model to explore the impact of rural e-commerce development on the urban-rural income disparity and its realisation path. The results show that the data-driven strategy of the e-commerce platform reduces the urban-rural income gap while improving the overall income level of farm households, and has a contributing effect on regional common wealth. In addition, the construction of traditional and new digital infrastructure, as well as the enhancement of the human capital of village cadres, can create a more level playing field and effectively promote regional common wealth. The purpose of this paper is to help drive and stimulate consumption in regional areas by optimizing data-driven strategies of e-commerce platforms, thereby achieving rapid regional economic growth.
A Study on the Optimisation of Personalised English Learning Paths Based on Big Data Analysis and Its Impact on Teaching Efficiency
Authors: Li Nan
Published: February 2025

Personalized learning paths can take into account the individual differences of different learners’ abilities, knowledge backgrounds and knowledge mastery levels based on big data and provide targeted learning sequences for different learners to achieve the purpose of improving teaching efficiency. In this paper, we construct a personalized learning path optimization model that includes a neural network collaborative filtering layer, a cognitive level diagnosis layer, and a learning path generation layer. The nonlinear relationship between learners and knowledge points is represented by obtaining interaction information between learners and knowledge points, so that the model can better extract the vector features of learners and knowledge points. Teaching practice shows that the experimental class under this learning path improves by 25.82 points, which is significantly larger than the control class, and students in all segments make significant progress. There are no students with more than 80 points in the pre-test, while there are as many as 11 students with more than 90 points at the end of the semester, which verifies the effectiveness of the model in improving the efficiency of teaching and meeting the needs of personalized learning. This study provides useful insights for making scientific teaching decisions, objectively evaluating student learning outcomes, and improving teaching efficiency.
Deep Learning Models in Network Intrusion Detection Systems
Authors: Li Jian
Published: February 2025

Network intrusion detection technology is crucial for maintaining a stable network environment and defending against network attacks. This paper first normalizes and solo thermal codes the network intrusion data. Then, it uses the ResNet18 model to pull out the deep features in the data. The CEKL loss function is used to keep the data balance in the ResNet18 training process. Finally, the Softmax function is used to classify and detect the network intrusion data. The detection model is then used as the core technology to design the network intrusion detection system. After testing, the average accuracy of this paper’s model in network intrusion datasets Bot-IoT and ToN-IoT is 99.02% and 99.06%, respectively. In addition, the network intrusion detection system has a high recognition rate (94.41%–97.92%) for known types of attacking network samples, with low false alarms and missed alarms, and the system stress test meets expectations. The research work in this paper aims to optimize the shortcomings common to existing intrusion detection algorithms and proposes a feasible modeling idea for existing network intrusion detection techniques, which has excellent potential for application.
Research on the enhancement mechanism of big data-driven government innovation subsidy policy on the multi-level financing model of science and technology-based enterprises
Authors: Wang Lin
Published: February 2025

The financing activities of enterprises are related to the long-term healthy development of enterprises, and when capital becomes the external bottleneck restricting the innovation activities of enterprises, government subsidies will occupy a more critical position in the financing activities of science and technology-based enterprises. In this paper, government subsidies are used as a mediating variable to look at how financing constraints affect different life cycles of science and technology-based businesses. The businesses are then put into four groups: start-up, growth, maturity, and decline. The main goal is to see how financing constraints change during each life cycle. Construct a research model to analyze the relationship between government subsidies, financing constraints, and technology-based enterprises using the mediating variable testing procedure. Combine the sample data to describe the development of innovation activities and the financing status of science- and technology-based enterprises. Benchmark regression analyses are conducted to test the direct effect of government subsidies on the innovation of science and technology-based enterprises, the mediating role of financing constraints, and the heterogeneous effect of the mediating effect of financing constraints under different life cycles, respectively. The analysis shows that the coefficients of government subsidies in the II, V, and X periods are -0.003, -0.006, and 0.056, which are not significant, while the coefficients of government subsidies in VII, VIII, and IX are 0.125, -0.052, and -0.786, respectively, which are significant at the 1% level. It can be seen that the mediation effect of financing constraints under the perspective of government subsidies mainly arises in the maturity period and is not significant in the start-up period, growth period, and decline period.
Expressive Ethnonomination in the Spanish Language: Formation of a Meta-Image in the “(Non)dialogue” of Сultures
Authors:   Moscow State Linguistic University, Popova E.
Published: February 2025

The article deals with meta-images formed with the help of evaluative ethnonyms in the aspect of linguistic imagology. Monitoring Spanish-language media, blogs, modern literary journalism and film industry allows us to identify the mechanisms of the emergence and spread of expressive meta-ethnonyms and the associations which lie behind them. We conclude that meta-images develop due to semantic shifts and extralinguistic factors, gradually changing a sharply negative attitude towards certain social groups, and that knowledge of linguistic and cultural characteristics of the linguistic units under investigation allows to successfully maintain intercultural communication, avoiding communicative failures.

Published: February 2025

University media discourse represents a promising topic for research, as it is subject to constant changes, which opens up opportunities for studying its various aspects. In this article we investigate the linguistic strategies aimed at creating a positive image of the university in its Telegram channels. The analysis of more than 400 posts helped to identify the main linguistic means that contribute to the formation of a positive image of the university. One of the key results of the study was the discovery of the frequent use of colloquial vocabulary. The authors also resort to the use of appeals to the reader, thus involving them in communication. Stylistic can be found in the posts of the CSU Telegram channel. The verbal texts presented in the universities’ Telegram channels can be diverse in their orientation — from simple information transfer to the impact on the addressee. Therefore, our study pays special attention to expressiveness and semantic load, which can be achieved by various linguistic means in the context of university discourse in telegram channels.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the drying process of Melipona fasciculata pollen.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research involved drying the pollen in an oven at 40°C and in a BOD incubator at 5°C for 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours. Moisture, protein, lipid, ash, fiber, acidity, and pH analyses were performed. The fresh pollen had an initial moisture content of 63%, which decreased to an average of 25.68% in the oven and 25.08% in the BOD incubator after drying. To correlate the dehydration techniques with the physicochemical analyses and drying times, the selected experimental results were analyzed using ANOVA.
 
Results and Discussion: The results showed average protein values of 29.20% in the oven and 30.07% in the BOD incubator; lipid values of 2.04% in the oven and 2.26% in the BOD incubator; ash values of 3.04% in the oven and 3.13% in the BOD incubator; fiber values of 3.82% in the oven and 3.63% in the BOD incubator. Acidity and pH had general values of 3.9 and 139.5384 mEq/kg, respectively. The drying process was effective in reducing moisture content; however, it remained far from the ideal level for bee pollen (4%), which undergoes a distinct production process with lower enzymatic activity during fermentation.

Authors: Almeida Gênisson Lima de , Costa Jailton de Jesus , Jesus Robson Andrade de , Oliveira Ingrid Carvalho Santos , Andrade Joyce Dalline Silva , Soares Joyce Helly da Anunciação , Oliveira Ticiano Rodrigo Almeida
Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the role of the middleman in artisanal fishing, as well as the mode of production of the quilombola communities of Resina and Saramém, located in the municipality of Brejo Grande/SE.
 
Method: The methodology adopted comprises qualitative research, of an applied nature, originating from reports from fishermen and middlemen, based on primary data through the application of semi-structured interviews. The reports of these social subjects were collected using the “snowball” technique and, after transcribing, were analyzed using the word cloud created in the Iramuteq software.
 
Results and Discussion: Middlemen depend directly on fishermen, as they are the ones who capture the fish species. In this way, there is a relationship of mutual dependence between the social subjects involved in the marketing of fish. What differentiates one from the other is the financial condition that the middleman presents to the fisherman.
 
Research Implications: This study highlights the role of middlemen as marketing agents responsible for promoting negotiations between artisanal fishermen and traders who, in turn, make it possible to reach the final consumer. In this commercialization process, the artisanal fisherman is the social subject with the greatest economic vulnerability, as his work force is little valued by middlemen.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature as it presents the relationships between the social subjects of artisanal fishing in the quilombola communities of Resina and Saramém, located in the municipality of Brejo Grande/SE. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by enhancing the identity of artisanal fishermen in everyday practice in the communities researched.

Authors: Borges Gustavo Santos , Moraes Gregory Matheus Pereira De , Viana Luana Beatriz Martins Valero
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study analyzes the specialization of agricultural production and the degree of land concentration in Paraná using primary data from the 1920 Census.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework encompasses the agrarian structure and the colonization of the state, considering factors such as the sesmaria land system, the Land Law of 1850, and European immigration, which influenced land distribution and regional productive dynamics.
 
Method: The method employs a quantitative approach, using the Gini coefficient to measure inequality in land distribution and the Specialization Index to assess the concentration of agricultural production.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings indicate a significant concentration of land in large properties, suggesting an unequal land structure despite the agricultural diversification driven by immigration. This scenario highlights the importance of public policies aimed at ensuring equitable land access and promoting diversified agricultural production.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by utilizing primary data from Brazil’s first agricultural census. This census holds unique importance, as no such data was available before this period. Given the historical transformations in Brazilian agriculture, the 1920 Census provides a broad overview of agricultural production and land concentration in Brazil at the time. Analyses of the indicators and data derived from this census complement the economic history of Paraná and Brazil, filling gaps regarding agricultural specialization and land concentration in the early 20th century.

Objective: The objective of this study is to diagnose the nutritional properties of the soil in pasture agroecosystems, monitoring changes over three years in the São Francisco Settlement Project, Southeastern Pará.
 
Theoretical Framework: This research is based on the implications of deforestation and the conversion of forests into pastures for soil quality, highlighting inadequate management practices and their impacts on the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of the soil.
 
Method: A three-year monitoring study was conducted on Brachiaria brizantha pastures with over 30 years of use without proper management. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-20 cm and analyzed for chemical attributes. A randomized design, geoprocessing for area mapping, and statistical analysis using ANOVA were employed.
 
Results and Discussion: The results indicated low soil fertility, high acidification (low pH), and variation in organic matter (OM) and aluminum (Al³⁺) levels. Despite some improvements in OM levels over the period, continuous degradation was observed, driven by the lack of soil correction and sustainable management practices. Deforestation linked to agricultural expansion was identified as a critical factor.
 
Research Implications: The findings highlight the need for sustainable pasture management strategies to minimize environmental impacts and improve soil quality in rural settlements.
 
Originality/Value: The study provides data on soil attribute monitoring in Amazonian pasture agroecosystems, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agricultural practices in rural settlements.

Authors: Sylvia Faazong Dery
Published: February 2025

The study assessed the psychosocial challenges faced by parents of children with disabilities in the Sunyani Municipality. A 12-item questionnaire was administered to these parents to gather relevant data. The findings revealed that 60% of the respondents reported limited or no access to counseling and psychological services as a primary challenge. Moreover, 64% indicated that they frequently experience the effects of stigmatization and negative social attitudes in their daily lives. Given that 60% of the respondents reported limited or no access to counseling and psychological services, it was recommended, among other things, that it is crucial to expand the availability and accessibility of these services.

The study examined the extent to which community policing mobilizing strategy improves student discipline in public secondary schools in Moshi district council. Using a convergent design within a mixed-methods approach and guided by problem-oriented policing (POP) theory, the research targeted 61 heads of public secondary schools, 1059 students, 482 teachers, and 34 ward community police officers. The sample included 6 schools, 6 heads, 48 teachers, 106 students, and 4 police officers, selected through simple random and total population sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires for quantitative data and interview guides for qualitative data. The study ensured validity through expert review and tested reliability using Cronbach's alpha technique, whereby coefficients of r = 0.881 for teachers and r = 0.750 for students were obtained. Reliability for qualitative data was established through peer debriefing and triangulation.  Quantitative data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and means, and data were presented using tables, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic development and presented in narrative form and direct quotations. Ethical principles such as research clearance, informed consent, confidentiality, and proper citations were strictly followed. The findings highlight that, to a considerable extent, community policing is a highly effective strategy in promoting student discipline and fostering a culture of respect, responsibility, and safety in schools. The study concluded that expanding community policing initiatives can, to a large extent, significantly improve student discipline, respect for authority, and the overall culture of safety and security in schools.

Background. Infantile fibrosarcoma is a rapidly growing soft tissue tumor, often managed by surgical resection, with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as additional options. Due to the high local aggressiveness and surgical morbidity, targeted therapies like larotrectinib can enhance quality of life and preserve organs, particularly in limb-threatening cases. Here, we present three cases where larotrectinib prevented mutilating surgeries.
Cases. The first patient presented antenatally with a 75 x 48 mm oral floor mass, severely narrowing the airway. Surgery was unfeasible due to invasion of vital organs, and complications arose with conventional chemotherapy. Following detection of an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion, larotrectinib was initiated, resulting in complete regression after two years. The second patient had a 42 x 37 mm right-hand tumor confirmed as infantile fibrosarcoma, for which initial treatment suggested amputation. After identifying an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion and failing to respond to chemotherapy, larotrectinib led to significant regression by year two, preserving hand function. The third patient presented with a 56 x 55 mm right foot mass at birth. Chemotherapy proved ineffective, and larotrectinib was initiated due to an ETV6-NTRK fusion signal, ultimately achieving near total regression within one year and avoiding amputation. All three cases demonstrated successful outcomes with targeted therapy.
Conclusions. These cases emphasize the importance of advanced molecular studies, like next-generation sequencing, for childhood tumors and integrating research with clinical trials. tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitor larotrectinib may offer a safe and effective alternative to chemotherapy for NTRK fusion-positive, metastatic, or unresectable tumors.
DNA damage in children with β-thalassemia minor: genotoxicity assessment by comet assay

Background. In transfusion-dependent forms of β-thalassemia, chronic anemia and iron overload lead to the development of oxidative stress-related DNA damage. In β-thalassemia minor (β-Tm), oxidative stress resulting from an unbalanced globin chain ratio has been documented, even in the absence of anemia and its complications. However, the status of oxidative stress-related DNA damage has not yet been elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess DNA damage in β-Tm in a pediatric population.
Material and Methods. We compared 142 children with β-Tm to 113 healthy controls, including siblings of the β-Tm individuals. The comet assay was used to assess DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Additionally, oxidative stress markers and biochemical parameters were measured.
Results. No significant differences were observed between the β-Tm group and controls in terms of demographics, biochemical parameters, or baseline oxidative stress levels (p>0.05). In the comet assay, there was no difference in tail intensity (TI) between subjects and controls, nor between siblings with and without β-Tm (p=0.551 and p=0.655, respectively). However, when the β-Tm group was divided by age, a gradual increase in DNA damage, as measured by TI, was observed. This increase was more pronounced in the β-Tm group compared to controls.
Conclusion. We observed no significant differences in DNA damage between β-Tm individuals and controls. However, TI increased at a faster rate with age in carriers compared to non-carriers, suggesting that environmental factors might exert a more pronounced influence on the genetic integrity of individuals with a β-Tm background. Although β-Tm itself does not seem to pose a substantial genotoxic risk in childhood, our findings underscore the importance of further research into the interplay between β-Tm and other risk factors throughout life. We advocate for long-term monitoring of β-Tm children to assess the health and potential genetic consequences.
