Assessment of the quality of forecasts of seasonal fluctuations of budget revenues as part of effective management of public finances in Ukraine
Authors: Totska Olesia , Onysiuk Vitalii
Published: November 2024

Seasonal fluctuations in revenues to the budgets of Ukraine at different levels can significantly affect the fulfillment of financial obligations of the state and territorial communities, especially in conditions of martial law. The accuracy of forecasting such fluctuations becomes critically important for the formation of a balanced budget policy and ensuring timely financing of priority state programs. The purpose of the article is to assess the quality of forecasts of seasonal fluctuations in budget revenues of different levels in Ukraine during martial law. The research is aimed at increasing the efficiency of financial management in the crisis, which, in turn, will contribute to strengthening the economic security and stability of Ukraine. It is a continuation of the authors' previous research.
Within the framework of the study, the actual indicators of receipts of the largest budget-forming taxes to the state budget of the Volyn region and to the local budgets of the Volyn region for January–May 2024 were analyzed and compared with previously obtained forecast data. To assess the quality of forecasts, a scale was used, according to which the accuracy of forecasts is ranked depending on the value of the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the forecast as follows: high (<=10%), good (10.1–20%), satisfactory (20.1–40%), poor (40.1–50%), unsatisfactory (>50%).
It was found that during the analyzed period, the accuracy of forecasts of seasonal revenues to the state budget in the Volyn region for VAT from goods imported into the customs territory of Ukraine was good (the MAPE of forecasts was 18.8%); for customs duties on goods imported by business entities – satisfactory (28.2%); for personal income tax paid by tax agents from the taxpayer's income in the form of wages – high (6.4%); for excise tax on vehicles imported into the customs territory of Ukraine – satisfactory (39.5%).
It was determined that the accuracy of forecasts of seasonal revenues to the local budgets of the Volyn region for personal income tax paid by tax agents from the taxpayer's income in the form of wages was high (the MAPE of forecasts was 6.4%); for the single tax on individuals – satisfactory (25.0%); for land tax on legal entities – satisfactory (39.7%); for rent from legal entities – high (3.8%).

Published: November 2024

This study examined the effects of teaching English using the Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) on EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' autonomy and motivation. The students' perceptions of flipped language instruction were explored to conduct a detailed analysis of the implementation. A mixed-method research design, an explanatory sequential design, was used with 50 EFL students at a Turkish state university during the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year. A quasi-experimental design was used to create a control (n = 25) and an experimental (n = 25) group. To collect quantitative data, both groups were pre-tested with two scales at the start of the term (the Attitude/ Motivation Test Battery and the Autonomy Perception Scale). The FCM was used to teach main course lessons to the experimental group in a preparatory school while the control group was trained using a traditional learning approach. At the end of the term, both groups were post-tested after eight weeks of implementation in the experimental group. The qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews conducted at the end of the implementation to assess the participants' perceptions and perspectives on the impact of the flipped classroom. SPSS 25.00 was used to analyze quantitative data. To assess the effects of the intervention paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests were used. Descriptive content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings of this study indicate that the FCM, if properly implemented in L2 main course classes, has the potential to significantly increase autonomous learning and motivation. In comparison to the traditional model, flipped learning offers benefits such as making learning more enjoyable, increasing students' self-confidence, and decreasing their fear of making mistakes.

Lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) is one of the most promising berry crops for cultivation on acid soils in the European part of Russia, but additional testing of varieties and cultivars in the conditions of the Non-Chernozem zone regions is needed. The article presents the results of studies on the phenological and morphological features, evaluation of yield and winter hardiness of V. angustifolium plants of Russian selection (cultivars Lakomka, Neya, Pomorochka, hybrid form NB-60-11) in the natural and climatic conditions of Moscow. As a result of overwintering of the plants in the winter period of 2023-2024 and the impact of recurrent late spring frosts in May 2024, there was no freezing of shoots and damage to flowers. Flowering of V. angustifolium plants in Moscow conditions was observed in mid-May – early June, and lasted for 16-20 days, fruiting was observed in mid-July – late August and lasted for 22-44 days. V. angustifolium plants of the Lakomka cultivar are characterized by the highest annual growth (average 12.9 cm), yield indicators (97.14-182.12 g/bush) and weight of one fruit (average 1.41 g, maximum 2.55 g). The potential of V. angustifolium cultivars of Russian selection for further breeding work and industrial cultivation on unused lands is noted.

The article presents the results of studies on the influence of damage during combine harvesting and post-harvest treatment on the sowing properties of hemp seeds. It is noted that at combine threshing on the background of increase of mechanical damages in the form of macrotraumas (35%) and microtraumas (22%) there is a decrease in laboratory germination of hemp seeds up to 68%. The main share of macrotraumas is caused by crushing – 8.5%; removal of husk – 10%, as well as cracks in the area of the cotyledon and embryo – 16.5%. Desiccation of hemp crops at combine threshing and subsequent post-harvest treatment reduces macrodamage of seeds by 17% and microdamage by 9%. Indicators of germination energy and seed germination are comparable with similar data from manual threshing and amount to 94% and 95%, respectively. Microbiological analysis of hemp seeds showed significant differences in the quantitative and group composition of bacterial and fungal microflora during combine and manual threshing of seeds. When manually threshed, seeds are dominated by bacterial microflora with a predominance of the genus Bacillus. The fungal microflora is mainly dominated by representatives of the genus Penicillium. Fungal microflora prevails on seeds at combine threshing (310 thousand CFU/g), the main share of which is represented by micromycetes of the genus Aspergillus (120 thousand КОЕ/g) and various yeast species (190 thousand CFU/g), which contributes to the accumulation of mycotoxins and accompanied by loss of seed germination (up to 86%). Application of crop desiccation at combine threshing provides the formation of a microbial community with predominance of micromycetes of Penicillium genus (66%), which allows to keep seed germination at the level of 95% throughout the whole storage period. A significant reserve for increasing the sowing properties of seeds is the desiccation of crops with post-harvest treatment, which reduces damage and ensures the formation of epiphytic microflora, which prevents the development of molds, which negatively affect the sowing properties of seeds.
SPIRITUALITY AS A MEANING DYNAMIC PROCESS. MODEL CONSTRUCTING EXPERIENCE
Authors:   Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, Verezey Yuliya N.
Published: November 2024

The theme of spirituality and spiritual development nowadays is becoming increasingly relevant and forming a steady request which is related not only to the revival of interest in religious culture, but also to the emergence of the new types of “subjective spirituality”. In the article we consider the concept of “spirituality” through the prism of humanitarian knowledge and, in particular, from the perspective of psychological science. Such notions as traditional spirituality as well as secular spirituality set the contexts in which a person’s life path is carried out as a spiritual way of his existence in the world. A brief review of the studies of such a phenomenon indicates its direct connection to the meaning sphere of the individual: needs, motives, goals, values, symbols, significations, ideal, meaning. We propose to study the “spiritual” from the point of view of a process approach by posing the question: “How does a person exist in spirituality?” instead of asking “What is spirituality?”, focusing more on the dynamics and the quality of the process than the result. In the article we would also love to present the theoretical model of spirituality that has been developed as a unified meaning dynamic process. A special attention is also given to the analysis of those psychological contents that arise while a person’s following his spiritual path.

Authors:   independent researcher, Solodnikov Vladimir V. , Polikarpova Sophia P. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: November 2024

The article considers the main stages of the family’s life path and the boundary events separating them from each other, which, in turn, are accompanied by family stressors and rituals. Two events were selected for a more detailed analysis: the discharge of the mother and child from the maternity ward and the child’s baptism. Those events were described from the standpoint of the theory of family stress, as well as some socio-demographic parameters and socio-psychological attitudes of spouses who experienced the discharge of the mother and child from the maternity ward or the child’s baptism. The marketing aspect of the events is analyzed by using the results of interviews with representatives of the target audience (to clarify its features) and content analysis of social networks. Within the framework of the academic societal science on the family the prospects for studying a wider range of boundary events separating one stage of the family’s life path from another, and stressors and/ or rituals from the perspective of the theory of family stress, as well as factors of marriage success, are outlined. In addition, the information obtained can be used to more effectively promote the products accompanying those events.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Orestova Vasilisa R. , Zolotareva Svetlana E. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: November 2024

The relevance of the study is set by large-scale crisis changes of a global nature, occurring one after another without periods of stability and calm, which places increased demands on the psychological stability of a modern person and poses new challenges to scientists of various fields. The purpose of the study is an empirical research in the features of subjective well-being and meaning-life orientations, as well as their interrelationships during periods of mild and severe social transitivity in women who evaluate it differently. The study involved 426 women (N = 426) living in different cities of Russia. Data collection was carried out in three stages: the first – from May to June 2022, the second – from September to November 2022, the third – from May to June 2023. It is established that the connections of subjective well-being with meaning-life orientations are most numerous and expressed in those who subjectively assess the current situation as a crisis. In addition, it turned out that for women who do not consider the current situation subjectively crisis, subjective well-being did not significantly change during the transition from soft transitivity to hard and vice versa. The obtained results demonstrate the importance of a subjective attitude to the changes taking place in order to maintain subjective well-being, and also prove that the meaningfulness of life is the most important resource in a situation of global change.
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY-MEMORIAL COOPERATION IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY REALITIES
Authors:   Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk, Korsak Alesya I.
Published: November 2024

The article deals with one of the main directions in the modern Belarusian historical and memory policy – military-memorial cooperation, the central object of which is, firstly, the burials of Soviet soldiers, officers and civilians of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, and secondly, the monuments immortalizing the feat of arms of the Soviet people in 1941–1945 both in the territory of the Union State of Russia and Belarus and in the countries of Western, Central and Eastern Europe. The author states that those objects are of high importance in the context of modern historical policy of Belarus, Russia and European countries, but the meaning and tasks of historical-memorial activity are directly opposite: if for Belarus and Russia the main goal of memory policy is the preservation of monuments of the Great Patriotic War, then in the countries of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, on the contrary, the dominant tendency becomes their destruction, i.e. the destruction of the memory of the Soviet Union’s participation in the Second World War and of the Second World War in particular. The author emphasizes that therewith international treaties concluded by European countries and Russia in the 1990s – 2000s are violated.
MAIN ISSUES OF THE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM IN TAJIKISTAN AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: November 2024

The article highlights the main stages of formation and development in penitentiary policy of modern Tajikistan. The author considers the issues of the penitentiary system, which include the shortage of places for serving sentences, unsatisfactory conditions of detention, the spread of socially dangerous diseases among prisoners, the lack of adequate mechanisms for organizing the work of those serving sentences, in the context of the general political and economic situation in the Republic of Tajikistan. In the author’s opinion, the penitentiary system of Tajikistan is projected on the whole inherent issues of post-Soviet Tajikistan, aggravated by the Civil War of 1992–1997: lack of efficiency of the economy and public administration, deficit of financial resources, unsatisfactory rates and quality of human capital development, etc. The special problem is the geopolitical situation in the Republic of Tajikistan. A special issue is the geopolitical situation of Tajikistan, which borders on turbulent Afghanistan and is in a zone of increased danger associated with drug trafficking, arms smuggling and the activities of various extremist groups. Such a situation, as the author points out, creates an additional and very serious burden on the penitentiary system of the Republic of Tajikistan. One of the central subjects considered in the article is the reform of the Tajikistan penitentiary system. Turning to the issue, the author pays special attention to its foreign policy aspect and draws the reader’s attention to the ambiguity of the role played by international organizations in improving the national penitentiary policy
FROM THE RECENT HISTORY OF THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF TRADE UNIONS IN POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Vittenberg Evgenii Ya.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the social responsibility of trade unions in several post-Soviet countries (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Moldova). The author highlights a number of theoretical issues, gives a definition of the social responsibility for trade unions, identifies the main areas of their responsibility, determines to what extent modern trade unions are independent from the state and are institutions of civil society. The article also considers the participation of trade unions in the development of labor legislation and protection of workers’ rights, including by means of strikes paralyzing production, which the author considers as a phenomenon indicating the lack of social responsibility of both trade unions and business, which are unable to find a solution to the arising contradictions at the negotiating table. Much attention in the article is paid to the analysis of trade unions’ relations with business and the state. It studies the processes of trade unions’ evolution from confrontation with business, and in some cases with the state, to social partnership. The article concludes that the social responsibility of trade unions in a particular country depends on the nature of its power institutions, the quality of labor legislation, and the degree of conformism of trade unions themselves.
ON THE ACTIVITIES OF MILITARY CENSORSHIP OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE REGARDING PERLUSTRATION DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Authors:   Belarusian-Russian University, Tsumarеva Elena P. ,   Mogilev State A. Kuleshov University
Published: November 2024

The article, based on military censorship reports, analyzes the categories of confiscated letters grouped by topics of criticism or by the moods of the authors. It reveals significant changes in the perception of the events of the First World War in Russia and Belarus. It also studies specific projects of scientific developments in the field of intensification of weapons, the need to establish the production of machine guns, shells, self-propelled mines, “Greek fire”, explosives, the production of submarines, armored field vehicles. There is an analysis of proposals for teaching courses in combating poisonous gases, revision of training of recruits in order to improve the quality of training, reforming the relationship between the rears and the front.. The article describes such functions of military censorship as protective, which consisted in deleting military secret information, the function of informing the authorities about the mood in the army and assessing the events on the front line, punitive, which manifested itself in notifying the military unit about the sender and providing the police with the information about the recipient of the confiscated letter. The following topics, most persecuted by military censorship, are highlighted: an issue of the Great Retreat of Russian troops in the summer of 1915 and the loss of Galicia and Warsaw; the comments on activities of military censorship; lack of information about the real state of affairs and the circulation of rumors; soldiers’ distrust of officers and Command; letters of a humanistic nature; criticism of failed military decisions taken under the fear of disobedience; the issue of incompetence of fire spotters, sappers and trench builders; comparative characteristics of the quantity and quality of machine guns in the Russian and German armies. It is concluded that, due to censorship prohibitions on discussing any information of a military nature, the military authorities and local administration of front-line territories, in our view, often lagged behind in making urgent and timely decisions on the ground. It resulted in accumulating discontent in the army and among civilian population
Violence against women: diverse facets
Authors: Edouard Lindsay
Published: November 2024

Gender-based violence, a crucial element of sexual and reproductive health and rights, deserves intensified efforts for its control. Elimination of violence against women is an important aspect of social development, whether for policy formulation by governments, support by professional bodies or delivery of care at the grassroots level. Instead of being merely a platform on 25 November for oft-heard rhetorics, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women provides a unique opportunity for promoting the implementation of effective interventions for service reform addressing intimate-partner violence and sexual violence.
The influence of wife abuse on women’s reproductive choices in Southern African Countries: Findings from a cross-sectional analysis of demographic and health surveys
Authors: Michael Turnwait O. , Naidoo Kammila
Published: November 2024

Understanding women's attitudes towards wife abuse and its effects on their reproductive choices is crucial for promoting gender equality in Southern Africa. However, a paucity of research has explored this relationship. Using IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys data from 2011-2018 across eight Southern African nations, we analyzed 17,968 women's attitudes towards wife beating and their reproductive choices through a cross-sectional design and multilevel logistic regression models. Our findings reveal that 84.9% of women expressed negative attitudes towards wife abuse, with 44.2% demonstrating autonomy in reproductive choices. Women who opposed wife beating exhibited greater autonomy in reproductive decision-making (44.6%), while those justifying wife discipline showed decreased autonomy (aOR = 0.84, 95% CI [0.78-0.91]). Older age (aOR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.19-1.58]) and higher education (aOR = 2.15, 95% CI [1.18-2.60]) increased the likelihood of autonomy. Country-level variations were evident, with Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia showing higher autonomy odds compared to Angola. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies to shift attitudes and promote gender equality and reproductive health in Southern Africa.

Authors: Naidenova Iuliia N. , Parshakov Petr A. , Smirnov Aleksey O.
Published: November 2024

Government support measures help companies overcome various restrictions impeding their growth and develop ment, which is of special relevance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These measures, therefore, must reach the target companies and ensure efficient allocation of resources. The article reveals key characteristics of SMEs in Russia that increase the probability of them receiving government support. The research methodology is based on public interest theory, public choice theory and the concept of economic freedom. The research method is a two-step regression analysis, in which the binary choice model is first evaluated, and then the LASSO model is used to assess the impact of the textual content of the companies’ websites. The dataset of the study is represented by data on 2,176 Russian metallurgical enterprises for 2020–2023, of which 57% were receiving government support. The results of the first step of evaluation showed that the organization’s age and size meas ured by revenue were the key factors associated with the probability of receiving government support. At the second step, we found that the mention of certain goods or materials on the websites, the enterprise’s location and orientation towards foreign stakeholders were significantly related to the likelihood of getting state support. The study offers tools for analyzing the determi nants of government support for SMEs and highlights the importance of this analysis for more efficient allocation of government resources.
‘Sarı’ Sendikacılık Temasının Türk Sineması’ndaki Yansımaları: Kuram ve Uygulama
Authors: Yüksel Hasan
Published: November 2024

Çalışmanın amacı, söylem analizi ve göstergebilimsel analiz yöntemlerini kullanarak Türk Sineması’nda sarı sendikacılık konusunu işleyen filmleri betimsel/nitel analize tabi tutmaktır. Sanayi Devrimi’nden sonra çalışanların işveren karşısında haklı çıkar ve menfaatlerinin savunulması amacıyla yine bizatihi fabrikalarda kol gücüne dayalı olarak çalışanlar tarafından kurulan demokratik, politik ve ekonomik kitle örgütlerine sendika denilmektedir. İş piyasası içerisinde sendikalar, toplu pazarlıkların tarafı olması, yasama organına baskı yapması, işverenin sermayeden kaynaklı yetkilerini kısıtlaması, grev ve lokavta karar vermesi gibi nedenlerle bir “denge” unsuru niteliğindedir. Çalışanların menfaatlerinin kapital sahiplerine karşı tam anlamıyla savunulabilmesi için, sendikaların ‘bağımsız’ ve ‘tarafsız’ bir anlayışla hareket etmeleri gerekmektedir. Dolayısıyla sendikaların, doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak başta devlet, sermaye sahipleri ve siyaset kurumundan bağımsız olmaları arzu edilmektedir. Şayet sendikalar, bahse konu bu üç kesimin güdümüne girer, bağımsız, tarafsız ve kendi öz çizgisinde politikalar geliştiremez ve üyelerinin menfaatlerini savunamaz ise sendika olma vasfını kaybetmekte ve sarı sendikaya dönüşmektedir. Dolayısıyla sarı sendikalar, çalışanların hak ve hukukunu savunmak yerine; devletin, sermayenin ya da siyasetin menfaatlerini savunmaktadırlar. Çalışmanın esas gayesi, Türk Sineması’nda sarı sendika temasını işleyen filmleri betimsel olarak analize tabii tutmaktır. Bu amaçla Türk Sineması’nda Karanlıkta Uyananlar (1965), Diyet (1974) ve Güneşli Bataklık (1977) filmleri seçilmiş olup bu filmlerde sarı sendikacılık konusunun işlenme biçimi nitel düzlemde analiz edilmiştir.

Em sua traduc¸a~o, a primeira de uma obra de Flavio Biondo para o portugue^s e uma das raras para qualquer idioma, Fa´bio Frohwein de Salles Moniz emprega o me´todo e o crite´rio do filo´logo renascentista: o leitor pode cotejar sua versa~o com o original latino. Essa opc¸a~o revela, em si mesma, o espi´rito humani´stico que presidiu a todo o Renascimento: a curiosidade por descobrir textos inexplorados, o zelo e a ponderac¸a~o nas escolhas lexicais e a erudic¸a~o de um investigador ta~o profundo quanto criterioso e respeitoso para com suas fontes.

Falar em Direitos Humanos, nos dias de hoje, não é uma tarefa
fácil. O termo vem passando, especialmente ao longo dos últimos anos, por grandes deturpações em relação ao entendimento do que sejam estes direitos. Com frequência, o termo é associado a direitos da marginalidade, “direitos dos bandidos contra os direitos das pessoas de bem”.
É nesse contexto que a Educação em Direitos Humanos (EDH) deve ser inserida, com um propósito de mudança, de desconstrução desse pensamento deturpado.
Cultural Tension and Large- and Small-Scale Internal Conflicts
Authors: Parsons Brandon , Naghshpour Shahdad
Published: November 2024

This study analyzes how cultural tensions (i.e., ethnic and religious) affect various internal conflicts (e.g., civil war to civil disorder) across different regions. The study also examines the role of governance in mitigating the effects of cultural tensions on the emergence and escalation of conflict. The comprehensive study has 136 countries from 1990 to 2021, and panels are separated by region and OECD status. The study uses two-way fixed effects with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors to account for heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, and cross-sectional dependence. Although there are some regional variations and nuances, the results indicate cultural tensions are significant determinants of (1) the broad measure of internal conflict, (2) civil wars/coups d’état, and (3) political violence/terrorism. Therefore, one implication is that cultural tension continues to drive internal conflict. A second implication is that even in OECD countries, where institutions and governance structures are robust, cultural tensions can still significantly contribute to the emergence and risks of internal conflict. However, ethnic and religious tensions are less influential in smaller-scale conflicts, such as civil disorders, where government stability is a more important determinant. Furthermore, the study finds that government strength is vital in moderating all forms of internal conflict, indicating that even moderate cultural tensions can escalate into significant conflicts in the presence of weak governance. The study underscores the ongoing importance of addressing ethnic and religious tensions. Policy recommendations to reduce cultural tensions include (1) promoting cultural inclusiveness within societal/political dimensions, (2) promoting tolerance, (3) allowing some autonomy to cultural enclaves, and (4) actively monitoring cultural tensions and policy initiatives.
Decoding Public Policy: How Cultural Dynamics Shape Decision-Making in Indonesia’s Political Landscape
Authors: Rochmansjah Heru , Saputra Romi
Published: November 2024

This study explores how cultural dynamics shape public policy in Indonesia, focusing on the influence of cultural dimensions on policy-making processes and outcomes. The purpose is to understand the impacts of Indonesian cultural values on various policy sectors, including education, health, environment, and economic development. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study relies exclusively on secondary data from academic literature, government reports, and media sources to examine these cultural influences. Findings reveal that high power distance leads to centralized decision-making, while collectivism shapes policies toward community welfare. High uncertainty avoidance results in rigid regulatory frameworks, and traditional gender roles affect gender-related policies. Sector-specific analyses highlight the integration of traditional knowledge in environmental policies and the challenges of balancing modernization with cultural heritage in economic policies. The implications of these findings suggest that policymakers should incorporate cultural considerations into policy design to enhance effectiveness and inclusivity. This research contributes original insights into the intersection of culture and policy, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive approaches in diverse governance contexts. By shedding light on how cultural factors impact policy formulation and implementation, the study offers valuable guidance for developing culturally relevant and effective policies addressing societal needs.

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) results from an excess secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), primarily due to parathyroid adenomas. These adenomas are more prevalent in women and, although rare, can develop into giant adenomas. One infrequent but notable complication of giant adenomas is parathyroid apoplexy. The aim of this manuscript is to describe the case of a Peruvian female patient diagnosed with PHPT secondary to a giant parathyroid adenoma, whose surgical treatment confirmed its apoplexy.

Case report: A 42-year-old Peruvian woman with hypertension and stage IV chronic kidney disease presented with a non-productive cough, dysphonia, and acute chest pain, revealing a mediastinal tumor on imaging. Physical examination showed no cervical tumors, and biochemical tests revealed elevated levels of total calcium and intact PTH, while serum phosphorus and calcitonin levels were normal. Imaging elucidated a parathyroid adenoma with mediastinal extension. Surgical intervention involved right parathyroidectomy, unveiling a 6 × 6 cm tumor with cystic and hemorrhagic degeneration, confirming the diagnosis of parathyroid apoplexy from a giant adenoma.

Conclusions: Giant parathyroid adenoma should be considered in patients presenting with a mediastinal mass and hypercalcemia. This condition can be complicated by parathyroid apoplexy in the context of PHPT. Timely imaging and surgical intervention are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes, with diagnosis confirmed through histopathology.
The cognitive gap in the mathematical thinking abilities of high school leavers for college: Are they ready?
Authors: Singh Parmjit , Md Nasir Nurul Akmal , Sian Hoon Teoh
Published: November 2024

After students spend approximately 12 years of formal math learning from high school, they bring a store of enormous “learned” mathematics factual knowledge to face the challenges and prepare for college/tertiary level learning. However, research has shown that early tertiary-level students struggle to learn college mathematics. The ability to think mathematically and use this learned factual knowledge (mathematical thinking) to solve higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) problems is essential to tertiary education. Thus, do these high school leavers have access to previously learned factual knowledge and use it effectively in solving these HOTS problems? This sequential research design study was conducted among 640 high school leavers who received an A in their national examination. In the first phase, the researchers investigated their mathematical thinking ability, followed by interviews with selected students on the difficulties and challenges they faced in solving the underlying problems. The findings showed that these students lack the ability to effectively use the previously learned factual knowledge from school mathematics to solve mathematical thinking problems. Secondly, they lack the habitual mind to check their answers after deriving a solution to a given problem. Thirdly, most rarely used heuristics to devise a strategy to solve fundamental math problems. Although the expectation of the school math curriculum over the last decade has been re-engineered towards “teaching students to think,” this expectation has yet to be fulfilled. Thus, university educators must do more to guarantee that high school leavers can deconstruct their mathematical knowledge and reconnect it with the underpinnings and linkages of college mathematics requirement.
