Authors: Ha Tran Thi Thu , Thuy Luu Thi , Thanh Do Thi Hoai
Published: August 2023

Background & Aim: Turnover intention can predict the actual turnover behavior of nurses. Previous studies identified a variety of factors influencing nurses' turnover intention. However, few studies investigate nursing students' career turnover intention. This study aimed to examine turnover intention and associated factors among nursing students in Central Vietnam.
Methods & Materials: A cross-sectional study was implemented among 425 nursing students recruited through a multistage sampling technique from April to May 2022. Data were collected using a questionnaire including demographic characteristics, fear of COVID-19, perceived academic stress, and turnover intention. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic characteristics and study variables. Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were computed to examine the association between variables.
Results: Approximately one-third (32.5%) of the respondents will look for jobs without patient contact, 32.2% would not study nursing if given a choice, and 31.1% often think of not staying in the nursing profession. The sum scores of turnover intention ranged from 3 to 15 with a mean of 9.19 (SD= 2.49). The turnover intention was associated with the year of study, the reason to study nursing, and preparation for nursing school (p<.05). Perceived academic stress had a moderate correlation with turnover intention (r= -.325, p<.05). In contrast, the association between fear of COVID-19 and turnover intention was not significant.
Conclusion: A considerable number of nursing students had turnover intention upon graduation. Factors affecting turnover intention should be considered to retain students in educational programs and avoid a future nursing shortage.

Authors: Azimi Dariush , Givi Hossein Ghamari , Rezaiisharif Ali , Sheykholeslami Ali
Published: August 2023

Aim: The current research was conducted with the aim of developing a model for empowering school counselors based on grounded theory and using semistructured interview method. Methods: For this purpose, the number of 12 teachers, 14 school counselors, 13 students (locally from Ardabil province) were selected through purposeful sampling and the number of 9 counseling experts and professors (nationally) were selected by snowball sampling and the data were collected until theoretical saturation was reached. After transcribing the text of the interviews and entering the information into the MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software, they were analyzed with open, central and selective coding.
Findings: The results of open and axial coding led to the identification of 245 concepts and 17 core categories. Also, the results of selective coding showed that the core category of school counselors' ability is influenced by causal conditions (scientific, professional and moral competence), intervening conditions (emotional maturity, self-efficacy, professional skills and coordination) and background conditions (intellectual maturity, emotional intelligence, mental health, communication skills, psychological toughness and charismatic personality) in the form of organizational and individual development strategies, which result in improving the efficiency of school counselors directly and indirectly.
Conclusions: According to the findings of the present research, it is recommended to use the present model in order to empower school counselors, as well as design and develop different programs to improve school guidance and counseling services.

Published: August 2023

Aim: This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting principals' and teachers' perceptions of the school counselor's role and explain its position and importance in the challenges of establishing the role of school counselors.
Methods: The research method in this research is systematic and descriptive literature review. The statistical population of this study includes all valid scientific-research articles published in domestic and foreign journals in recent decades. The articles of this systematic review were found by searching the databases of Noormags, SID, Magiran, Ensani.ir Elsevier, Sage, Taylor and France, Springer, Wiley and M.D.P.I.
Finding: 25 articles were finalized based on the inclusion criteria of the study. These articles were conducted in the form of action research methods, field research, Q method, experimental, focus group, interview, phenomenology, correlation, and grounded theory. The analysis of these studies showed that three categories of factors, including factors related to school and community, factors related to teachers and principals, and factors related to counselors are effective in the perception of principals and teachers of the role of school counselor.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the lack of awareness by principals and teachers about the evolving role of school counselors is one of the most important factors related to the contradictory perceptions of teachers and principals and the best way to solve this problem is to have a counseling council in each school. By informing principals and teachers about the role of the counselor and following the goals and program of the school counselor, this council will stabilize the role of the school counselor and facilitate the process of achieving the goals of education.

Published: August 2023

This paper presents an analysis of the mileage energy consumption for an electric passenger vehicle in terms of the introduction of numerous speed limits. Regulations concerning the limiting of vehicle speed to 30 km/h in cities or residential areas are particularly common. This restriction is intended to increase traffic safety, but at the same time introduces increased mileage fuel or energy consumption in electric drivetrain. Regardless of the energy carrier, any increase in energy causes negative effects for the environment. The analysis was focused on the mileage energy consumption of electric passenger cars for a constant speed under real traffic conditions. During the tests, the tested vehicles’ speed on a specially designated road section was changed gradually by 10 km/h, with simultaneous recording of the car’s traction parameters and mileage energy consumption. An analysis of the mileage energy consumption was then carried out for the assumed fleet of cars travelling one after another (in a so-called traffic jam), while maintaining a safe distance. This allowed for the calculation of the environment’s energy burden caused by a fleet of vehicles travelling on a given road section, indicating that a reduction in vehicle speed causes an increase in the vehicles’ energy consumption. Both total and mileage energy consumption of electric vehicles were analysed during the tests.
How do International Students Reconstruct their Identity as Readers when they Transition into Canadian Post-Secondary Education?
Authors: Chen Danni , Hanson Aubrey Jean
Published: August 2023

Recognizing the cultural transitions Chinese international students undergo as readers in the Canadian higher education system, this study explores the difficulties encountered by four Chinese students and uncovers how they experienced, responded to, and transformed in a new cultural reading environment. Focusing on the notion of a reader’s identity, this study uses narrative inquiry to show how participants’ readers identities are reconstructed in a new cultural reading environment. It concludes that readers’ identities reflect readers’ different cultural memberships. As international students crossing cultural boundaries, their identities as readers shape how they interpret and understand the meaning of reading materials.
Drawing and Play as Windows into a Child’s Multimodal Meaning-Making Development during COVID-19
Authors: Brass Laura , Jenson Jennifer
Published: August 2023

Framed within multimodality and situated in a bounded socio-geographical context (i.e., Vancouver), this ethnographic case study provides an in-depth analysis of a bilingual 8-year-old girl’s literacy practices of meaning-making established across varied semiotic modes (i.e., linguistic, visual, audio, spatial, embodied, kinesthetic) during COVID-19. The study draws upon 13 open-ended informal interviews, three sessions of imaginative play, and 16 participant-generated artifacts. The findings revealed two themes (i.e., drawing as collective meaning-making; play as embodied, anthropomorphic meaning-making) that show how the child’s interactions with humans and nonhumans (e.g., toys, objects) contributed to her multimodal meaning-making during the pandemic, which might be beneficial for children in different contexts.
Anglophone Picturebook Shared Reading in Chinese Families: A Typology Exploring Parent-Child Interaction Patterns
Authors: Zou Ying
Published: August 2023

This study examined parent-child interactions during foreign-language shared reading of Anglophone picturebooks at home by Chinese parents. It is among the first to probe foreign-language shared reading in the home setting. Data was obtained from in-depth ethnographic observation of seven parent-child dyads and from interviews, with a survey comprising 565 parent respondents providing background for this wider evidence. A grounded theory approach was applied to generate a new, five-part typology of Chinese parents' English picturebook reading practices. This new typology reveals the diversity of parent-child interaction processes by categorizing them according to five foci: the literal focus, the literacy skill focus, the literary focus, the exploratory focus and the digital focus. The findings of this study may have a reciprocal effect on the study of first- and second-language shared reading practices and can be applied to analysis of or intervention in shared reading, at home or in school settings.

Neonates born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation are considered late preterm (LPT) and constitute the largest group of all preterm infants. The rate of morbidity and mortality, as well as the frequency of repeated hospitalizations among LPT infants are significantly higher compared to full-term infants, which is explained by immaturity due to the lack of a critical period of their intrauterine growth and development. Fairly common they face nutritional problems leading to adverse immediate and long-term outcomes. Until recently, the lack of clear feeding recommendations for LPT infants determined the use of individual approaches to optimize their nutrition. The annual increase in the number of LPT infants has prompted the accumulation of new scientific information concerning both the anatomical and physiological characteristics and principles of development of these children in general and specific problems, including those related to nutrition. Comprehensive support and appropriate breastfeeding are the cornerstone of adequate nutrition for LPT infants. Depending on factors such as gestational age, birth weight, and comorbidities, it is often necessary to increase nutritional support, including the use of breast milk fortifiers, nutrientenriched formulas, and parenteral nutrition prescription.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is rare condition. Orphan or rare diseases are chronic life-threatening and require specific means for their treatment (orphan drugs). In many cases the early diagnosis and treatment of orphan disease helps to avoid serious complications and lethal outcome. Clinical case. The patient, 6 years old,presented to the clinic with complaints of fever, vomiting, diarrhea up to 10 times a day. He was treated in outpatient department for 5 days, received symptomatic therapy, was not observed by pediatrician. In connection with the deterioration of condition patient was presented to inpatient infectious department of Children's Infectious City Hospital. The child had severe condition and changes in laboratory parameters (thrombocytopenia, increased levels of urea and creatinine) and was referred to intensive care department. Against the background of treatment, the patient had a persistent thrombotic microangiopathy, plasma resistance, kidney failure , and therefore it was diagnosed hemolytic uremic syndrome. Before starting of plasma therapy, we studied of ADAMTS-13 activity was for verify the diagnosis. The activity of ADAMTS-13 metalloproteinase in the blood plasma was 47% of the level of ADAMTS-13 activity in the control plasma, which was confirmation of the presence of a rare genetic disease in this child. The child received treatment with eculizumab. Conclusion. The presented clinical case shows the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment of orphan diseases. The early diagnosis and correct therapy are necessary for the successful management of children with hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Objective. Compare the features of the duration of ARVI, influenza and COVID-19 at the modern stage. Materials and methods. 552 histories of patients d with acute respiratory viral infections, 29 with influenza and 1805 with coronavirus infection with community-acquired bilateral polysegmental pneumonia and respiratory failure (RF) of 0-3 stages who received treatment in hospitals in Nalchik were studied. Arithmetic averages and percentages in relation to the total values of the studied parameters were calculated. Results. In the group of patients with COVID-19, the severe duration of the disease was observed more often, 74 patients died, which accounted for 4% of all patients with coronavirus infection. The most common cause of death in patients with COVID-19 was pulmonary embolism. There were no deaths among patients with acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. In addition to similar symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat, the symptoms were identified , which are more often for ARVI influenza and COVID-19. For ARVI, this is sneezing, short-term fever, conjunctivitis, runny nose, for influenza – pain when moving the eye, pain in the eyebrow arches, granularity and petechiae on the hard palate, longer fever, for COVID-19 – anosmia, loss of taste, severe and persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, severe sweating, prolonged fever.

Objective. A longitudinal cohort study was conducted to assess the effect of intranasal recombinant interferon α-2b-based medicine (Grippferon) on clinical, functional and immunological parameters in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma (BA) and allergic rhinitis (AR). Patients and methods. Twelve children aged between 10 and 17 years were examined. Clinical symptoms and nasal respiratory function, the content of VEGF, interleukins IL-1, -2, -4, -6, eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and total IgE in nasal secretions were assessed on days 1 and 31. Results. The study results showed a statistically significant increase in nasal respiratory flow (p = 0.001), a decrease in the severity of nasal (p = 0.002) and sinonasal symptoms (p = 0.0015), a reduction in VEGF concentration in nasal secretions (p = 0.014) and a downward trend in ECP (p = 0.09) and IL-4 (p = 0.10) levels. No statistically significant changes in IL-1, IL-6, and IgE content were found. Conclusion. The intranasal use of recombinant interferon α-2b-based medicine (Grippferon) for prevention of acute respiratory viral infections is well-tolerated by patients with AR and BA with shown notable improvement in nasal respiratory function, decrease in the severity of nasal and sinonasal symptoms and downward trends in the content of several T2 inflammation biomarkers in nasal secretions.

This review shows the current literature data on the delayed consequences of COVID-19 for the hemostasis. The pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and possibilities of correction of hemostasis disorders are presented. In the context of declining mortality from COVID-19, the long-term multisystem consequences of the disease, which significantly affect the life quality oof convalescents are gradually becoming the main health problem of all states. The main mechanism for the occurrence of post-COVID syndrome is persistent inflammation, which is an important part of endotheliopathy. Most of the modern studies indicate a low incidence of VTE (0.8–1.6%) and arterial thrombosis (0.75%) in the post-COVID period. Laboratory data in the post-COVID period confirm endothelial dysfunction and the persisting prothrombotic phenotype of hemostasis disorder. The strategy of selective prolonged thromboprophylaxis of COVID-19 convalescents discharged from the hospital is justified, but the duration and criteria for the sufficiency of thromboprophylaxis are unknown. The tactics of endothelial protection are recognized as pathogenetically significant, but there is no reliable evidence base for the use of sulodexide in the post-COVID period.
