Mathematical calculation method for damage probability of projectile hitting ground target
Authors: Zhang Xuewei , Li Hanshan , Guo Quanmin
Published: November 2022

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of space target damage caused by
projectile explosion in weapon range, it is difficult to give a
scientific calculation model for target damage due to the uncertainty of
projectile explosion position and target intersection state. In this
paper, we study the probability calculation function of multiple
projectiles hitting the target area by combining the principle of air
defense and anti-missile mesh intersection and explosion. According to
the fragment dispersion characteristics formed by the explosion of the
projectile and the intersection penetration area of the fragment and the
target, studying the calculation method of the target damage condition
probability under the condition of shooting multiple projectiles in one
test, and establishing the calculation model of the target damage
probability of multiple projectiles’ explosion fragments under the
condition that the projectile effectively hits the target. Through the
experimental test of the five element acoustic array projectile
explosion point position testing system, we calculate the damage
probability of multiple projectile explosion points to the target
according to the probability function of the projectile hitting the
target in the explosion and the damage function of the target scattered
by fragments. The experimental results show that the theoretical
simulation results are basically consistent with the target damage
results calculated from the actual projectile explosion test data.

Objective: To evaluate the histological modifications of the vaginal
mucosa after repeated microablative fractional CO2 lasers treatments. As
secondary objectives we evaluated the clinical effects associated with
repeated microablative fractional CO2 lasers treatments using validated
questionnaires. Design: Prospective intervention study. Setting:
Division of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Urogynecology Unit, IRCCS San
Raffaele Scientific Institute Sample: 15 postmenopausal women
complaining of genitourinary syndrome of menopause symptoms. Methods:
one cohort of patients submitted to at least two previous laser
treatment cycles in the past years. Main outcome measures: Vaginal
Health Index (VHI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Female Sexual Function
Index (FSFI), Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), International
Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Urinary Incontinence
(ICIQ-UI) and 5-point Likert scale. Moreover an histological
examinations were carried out on all samples. Results: At 4 weeks after
the last treatment VHI score and all FSFI items resulted significantly
increased compared baseline. We observed a statistically significant
decrease both in frequency and severity for all urinary symptoms after
the follow up. We observed a statistically significant increase in the
number of epithelial cell layer with a consequent increase in epithelial
thickness, in the number of glycogen filled cells, and in the number of
papillae, after the laser treatment. No signs of fibrosis were observed
since neovascularization was observed in each single woman. Conclusions:
This is the first study demonstrating the histological persistency of
efficacy in repeated annually laser treatment cycles, with tissue
changes always leading to regenerative results without any sign of
fibrosis.
DELIVERY OF EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE BY USING THE ANYLOGIC MODEL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF LOAN APPLICATION QUEUES
Authors: Chafa Anthony Aondona
Published: November 2022

Women refuse to open bank accounts due to long queues in banks and
not being able to access a bank loan due to a lack of information and
time spent in loan processing. Banks face challenges in managing queues
in providing financial services. There is no evidence of research using
Anylogic to address long periods spent in loan processing. This study
attempts to fill the research gap by reviewing the literature, data
collection, simulation run, and system mapping. The study collected
secondary district-wise data from two hundred (200) bank branches in
Punjab State of India and computed the average number of loans processed
per day by seven banks in Punjab State India, simulation run was carried
out in three experiments using the Analogic model to determine the
average number of loans processing per day in India based on regular
eight working hours per day by bank in India, using one credit
consultant, one security specialist, one bank clerk, and one credit
analyst. Both online and offline credit submission is supported by the
Anylogic simulation application, and the mapping of women’s loans
granted by banks in India was designed using Kumu application software.
The result of the study revealed four (4) loan approval per day against
the current practice of one loan approval in India for 2 to 7days. This
study can guide bank stakeholders and researchers in selecting
interventions to ensure customer satisfaction.
Low cost, automated high throughput plant phenotyping system to evaluate the response of Menthol mint (Mentha arvensis) crop to water stress
Authors: Semwal Manoj , Prasad Nupoor , Verma Rajesh , Kalra Alok
Published: November 2022

Image based high throughput plant phenotyping is a powerful tool to
capture and quantify diverse plant traits. The available commercial
platforms are often cost-prohibitive. This study describes the
development of a low cost, automated plant phenotyping platform, which
can acquire images, transfer data, segment the images, extract the
traits and perform data analysis using low-cost microcomputers, cameras
and IoT irrigation system. Quantifiable plant traits (e.g., shape, area,
height, color) were extracted from the plant images using an in-house
pipeline developed in R language. An experiment of water stress
(waterlogging and drought) on Mentha arvensis (Menthol mint) crop
(cv. CIM-Kosi) was conducted to demonstrate image traits being used as a
proxy for plant response to water stress. It was found that the effect
of drought stress on plant height and number of secondary branches could
be correlated to color traits of plant canopy images. Also, the effect
of waterlogging stress on chlorophyll and flavonoid content could be
related to the shape traits of plant canopy images and effect on
waterlogging on plant height and canopy width could be associated with
color and texture traits. The imaging platforms could successfully
demonstrate a viable low-cost solution for incorporating high-throughput
plant phenotyping in various plant stress related research applications.

Authors: Carbonell V M , Flórez Mercedes , Martínez Elvira , Montoya Elena
Published: November 2022

In recent decades, physical techniques based on the application of magnetic fields (MF) have been developed in the agricultural sector with favorable results in plant germination and growth. The main objective of this study is to determine the effects of magnetic treatment on the germination of seeds of the following species Salvia officinalis L. and Calendula officinalis L. Groups of seeds were exposed to MF of 125 mT for different times, other groups of seeds were subjected to magnetic pretreatment and others were used as control.  Germination tests were performed under laboratory conditions. The parameters were: germination time of the first seed (T1), time for reaching 10 -75% of germination (T10, T25, T50 and T75), mean germination time (MGT) and number of germinated seeds (Gmax), provided by Seedcalculator software. The parameters recorded for both seeds with treatment and pretreatment were lower than the value of the corresponding control, chronic exposure at 125 mT provided the highest results; MGT was significantly reduced compared to controls. (T1-T50) were also significantly reduced.
Ver, perceber, representar, visualizar: uma reflexão sobre o acesso aos objetos matemáticos e sua relação com os modos de pensar na matemática
Authors: Dos Santos Alessandra Hendi , Soliani Franco Valdeni , Carlos Cifuentes José
Published: November 2022

Esse estudo tem por objetivo promover discussões e reflexões sobre a visualização matemática, tomando como base sua relação com a visão, a percepção e a representação. Tal pesquisa foi apoiada pelos estudos do Grupo de Pesquisa em Ensino de Geometria – GPEG, no qual a visualização e suas diferentes compreensões vêm sendo estudadas. O percurso metodológico dessa reflexão teórica se fundamenta em uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória, visando buscar o que há de característico e particular nas concepções analisadas. Portanto, é uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa no paradigma interpretativo. Para frutificar esse olhar sobre a visualização, de natureza tão polissêmica, são utilizados como subsídios teóricos as ideias de visão, percepção e representação, que não apenas dão base para o estudo, mas também evidenciam suas diferenciações e aproximações. Uma das questões emergentes nesta pesquisa é: Como agem as representações de um objeto na experiência de sua visualização? Para essa discussão, considera-se a visualização como uma forma de pensamento, ou seja, a visualização é uma forma de pensar dentro da própria matemática. Compreende-se que a correspondência entre essas concepções se desenvolve em torno da atividade matemática, na interpretação do que é visto, na descoberta de novas relações, na representação do que não está ao alcance dos olhos e na concretização dessa atividade matemática.

Authors: Almeida Lourdes Maria Werle , Omodei Letícia Barcaro Celeste
Published: November 2022

Este artigo apresenta uma investigação sobre a autenticidade em atividades de modelagem matemática, mediada pela questão: Como caracterizar a autenticidade em atividades de modelagem matemática? A investigação desta questão tem como objetivo estruturar um design para a autenticidade em atividades de modelagem. A pesquisa inclui duas partes. Inicialmente, estrutura-se um design a partir de um quadro teórico relativo a essa temática na área de modelagem matemática, integrando seis atributos que qualificam a autenticidade nessas atividades, podendo conferir a elas maior ou menor nível de autenticidade. A segunda parte consiste em uma pesquisa empírica em que estudantes desenvolvem atividades de modelagem cuja autenticidade é analisada em relação aos atributos. A investigação se caracteriza como pesquisa qualitativa, associando movimentos analíticos por meio dos quais se dá a articulação entre teoria e informações a respeito da autenticidade, usando critérios interpretativos de análise. O design estruturado é inovador em relação ao que a literatura já reconhece quanto à identificação da autenticidade em atividades de modelagem matemática. A análise da atividade de modelagem realizada indica que o design oferece uma maneira eficaz de inferir sobre a autenticidade, apontando que atividades de modelagem autênticas devem ser pautadas em uma realidade extraescolar, ao mesmo tempo em que atendem a anseios de uma realidade escolar.
Educação matemática como instrumento de empoderamento:
Authors: Cezar Mariana dos Santos , Rocha de Oliveira Samuel
Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como a educação matemática atua como instrumento de empoderamento ou de desempoderamento de estudantes e professores, como ela se conecta com o empoderamento e como o empoderamento é discutido no âmbito educacional. Para tal, realizamos um estudo exploratório a partir do mapeamento de produções científicas desenvolvidas em diferentes países da América, Europa, África, Ásia e Oceania. Foram analisados 64 trabalhos entre artigos, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado do Banco Nacional de Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), da Scientific Library Electronic Online (SciELO) e do Google Scholar, no período de 1996 a 2020. Esses trabalhos foram categorizados conforme público-alvo ou foco da pesquisa. A partir dessa organização, identificamos os níveis de escolaridade em que o empoderamento é mais discutido, o que possibilitou fomentarmos reflexões a respeito da necessidade de realizarmos pesquisas sobre essa temática nos níveis com menos discussões. Para a análise interpretativa, apresentação de resultados e levantamento de discussões sobre o tema no âmbito educacional, selecionados dez trabalhos. Os resultados mostraram que a educação matemática pode atuar como instrumento de empoderamento ao reconhecer que o fazer matemático precisa abordar questões sociais e políticas por meio de uma educação libertadora, e que ela pode atuar como instrumento de desempoderamento ao anular ou minimizar o poder criador de estudantes e professores, estimulando sua ingenuidade em detrimento de sua criticidade e satisfazendo os interesses dos grupos dominantes.

Authors: Daza-Damian Gustavo Javier , Alves Soto Romélia Mara
Published: November 2022

El artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio realizado con estudiantes brasileños y colombianos del último semestre de licenciatura en Matemáticas, cuyo objetivo fue describir y analizar los significados y sentidos atribuidos a la práctica escolar en relación a la enseñanza y al aprendizaje de las matemáticas. Se implementó una metodología cualitativa con abordaje fenomenológico y se optó por un grupo focal. El análisis de los discursos de los participantes se fundamentó en los aportes teóricos y procedimentales del Análisis de Contenido (Bardin, 1977) y del Método Descriptivo Fenomenológico Científico (Giorgi, 2008), los cuales permitieron construir seis categorías, a saber: rol del profesor en la práctica escolar, significados atribuidos a la planeación, a la enseñanza, al aprendizaje y a la evaluación; situaciones emergentes que obstaculizan la práctica escolar, recursos didácticos, actividades lúdicas y mediación tecnológica en la práctica escolar; enseñanza contextualizada de las Matemáticas; e importancia de conocer al estudiante en sus dimensiones cognitiva, afectiva y sociocultural. Estas categorías emergentes de los discursos de los licenciandos representan la estructura esencial del fenómeno investigado y se constituyen en subsidios para motivar la reflexión sobre las significaciones, el sentir y el actuar de profesores en formación inicial con respecto a los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las Matemáticas, considerando los desafíos y complejidades del ejercicio docente en esta sociedad globalizada y cada vez con pasos más acelerados en lo social, ambiental y tecnológico, lo cuales impactan los procesos educativos.

Authors: Zhou X. , Fang H. , Zhao Z. , Zhang X. , Ji X.
Published: November 2022

Taking the double-layer water injection well and one graded water distributor could regulate two layers as the design and research goal, the sliding double-layer water injection distributor was designed by using the forward and reverse rotation of the driving motor to control the opening and closing of the two nozzles. The flow field of the two flow channels under different opening was analyzed by FLUENT software. The research shows that when the opening of the nozzle was less than 10mm, the maximum flow rate decreases rapidly, and when the opening exceeds 10mm, it decreases slowly. The mathematical models of flow pressure, flow velocity, and nozzle opening were obtained by data analysis and fitting. Finally, the kinematics simulation was carried out by AAMS, and the maximum friction force borne by each sealing in the movement process was obtained. The maximum torque borne in the movement process was 120.5N·m, which was less than the rated torque. The supporting motor could meet the design requirements.
A Comparison Study between IFRS 9 and IAS 39 in GCC Countries
Authors: Al-Nsour Rania , Abuaddous Murad
Published: November 2022

IFRS 9 was introduced as a replacement for IAS 39, which spurred a wide debate since its implementation. This study aims to show the impact of IFRS 9 on the performance, solvency, credit ratio, capital adequacy ratio, expected credit loss, non-performing credits and write-offs for local banks operating within the Gulf Cooperation Council. To achieve the objectives of this study, data from financial disclosures was collected for 53 GCC banks for the period 2012-2020, which had 477 years of observation. The cross-sectional data was analyzed using the logit model (panel logistic regression model), capable of extracting non-linear relationships. This study found that there was a substantial positive difference in the percentage of the provision for credit losses, write-offs, and credit and non-performing credit ratios after the implementation of the IFRS 9. In contrast, no substantial difference was found in financial performance indicators, solvency, and capital adequacy ratio. The study offered a set of recommendations based on these findings and offered a number of potential future research opportunities to enrich the topic.
Bank Efficiency, Competition and Concentration in MENA Region Countries: A Granger Causality Approach
Authors: Attia Hossam , Alber Nader
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we aim to explore the causal relationship among the bank efficiency, competition, and concentration in the banking systems of 15 countries in the MENA region (Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Lebanon, Egypt, and Mauritania), by modeling econometric panel data over 2008–2018. Banking efficiency is measured by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), while the level of competition is measured by the Boone Indicator, and the level of concentration is measured by the HHI index. Granger causality is used to estimate the relationship among these variables. Results indicate the presence of a significant effect of banking efficiency on banking competition and banking concentration.
Financial Forecasting, Risk-taking and Venture Performance
Authors: Simon Mark , Shrader Rodney C.
Published: November 2022

This conceptual paper develops a model based on prospect theory that explores how the effort entrepreneurs expend developing financial forecasts may influence risk-taking and performance. It proposes that the more effort they expend on developing forecasts, the more likely they will be to use the results of the forecasts as reference points against which they evaluate their ventures’ future performance. Furthermore, we propose that effort leads to more optimistic reference points that are less likely to be adjusted. Our model suggests that these factors are related to subsequent risk-taking by entrepreneurs. The model further suggests that, for entrepreneurs, the relationship between risk-taking and performance is moderated by the level of utility the entrepreneur experiences from venture performance.

The aim – to determine the sources and terms of origin, developmental peculiarities anddynamics of ossification of the mandible during the prenatal period of human ontogenesis.Materials and methods. The research was carried out on the specimens of 30 embryos and30 human pre-fetuses during the period from the 9th to the 12th weeks of the intrauterinedevelopment, which were studied by microscopic examination. Three-dimensionalcomputer reconstructions of the human pre-fetal head were made.Results. During the 7th week of the development the maxillary processes at most approachthe lateral and medial nasal ones; in pre-fetuses 20,0 mm of PCL they join the frontal spindleforming the facial structures (upper jaw and lip, vestibule of the oral cavity, rudiments ofdental laminas, and rudiments of dental buds in its distal portions). Osteogenous islets,rudiments of the mimic and masticatory muscles, blood vessels are formed. During the 8thweek of development the osseous tissue of the mandible is formed, the alveolar processesare formed. The oral and nasal cavities are isolated in 9-10-week of the intrauterinedevelopment, the mass of the osseous tissue increases in both jaws, the enamel organs aredetached, the angles and rami formed by the hyaline cartilaginous tissue of the mandibleare determined, the rudiments of the temporomandibular joints are already seen. Duringthe 11th week of development the osseous base of both jaws become formed. To the end ofthe 12th week the osseous tissue begins to replace the hyaline cartilage of the mandibularrami, and the articular heads are formed in the portion of their proximal ends.Conclusions. The mandible in its development is known to be characterized by intracartilaginous formation of the bone which starts from the ends of the cartilage graduallydisplaced by the osseous tissue. It is indicated that both jaws in pre-fetuses 37,0 and 42,0mm of PCL are presented by the typical cartilaginous tissue, and in pre-fetuses 45,0-50,0mm of PCL the osseous tissue is already available replacing the cartilaginous one.

No previous studies have been carried out on the type of waste in the municipality of Tsévié, the capital of the maritime region in Togo. As part of the implementation of the Water and Sanitation project in Togo (PEAT2), two characterization campaigns were carried out on the household solid waste in this city.

The characterization method used is that of MODECOM (Method of Characterization of Household Waste). This method involves sampling 500 kg of waste on all collected waste. Two types of sorting are carried out. Sorting by size (<10 m, 20-100 mm >100 mm) and sorting by category (13 categories). Since waste varies according to its source, samples are made up of two types: market waste and household waste. The results indicate that the fine and extra fine fractions are the majority with 54.45% in the rainy season and 56.57% in the dry season. These physico-chemical analyses carried out on the waste of the city of Tsévié, constitute a database and allow the local authorities to plan a better waste management in the municipality.

With the need to promote wider adoption of rice combine harvesters (RCH) in the Philippines, this study analyzed the adoption process and investigated the factors that influenced complete adoption of the technology. Data was gathered through survey of 230 rice farmers and supplemented by key informant interviews in 24 rice-producing municipalities of the province. Results showed that RCH was adopted by farmers with higher level of education, higher income, larger farm holdings and with irrigated farms situated in the lowlands. About 90 percent of rice farmers in the area are already using RCH and adoption was considered permanent since all adopters did not revert to traditional practice after initially using the technology. The remaining non-mechanized farms are the rain-fed areas with poor road access, terraced small plots and waterlogged farms that deter the use of heavy machines. The respondents cited reduction of harvesting-threshing time which averts the exposure of farmers to climate risks brought by tropical cyclones and reduction of harvesting-threshing costs and postproduction losses as primary reasons for adoption of RCH. Empirical estimates using Logistic Regression revealed that RCH adoption increases with farm size and educational attainment. Topography is also an important determinant of adoption as farms situated in the lowland are more likely to adopt RCH than in the upland areas. With these findings, it is recommended that drivers and barriers of RCH adoption RCH be considered in the technology promotion.

Private forest development has a strategic objective, namely to supply logs as raw materials for the timber industry. The research was conducted in the Keduang Sub-watershed, Wonogiri District. The research objective was to determine suitable tree species and locations for Private forestdevelopment using a Geographical Information System (GIS). The parameters used were production age, soil texture, elevation, and type of production (wood, Multi-Purpose Tree Species / MPTS). Soil types in the Keduang sub-watershed are Litosol (Entisols), Latosol (Inceptisols), and Mediterranean (Ultisols). To determine suitable tree species and locations for Private forestdevelopment, an overlay (with a GIS tool) is carried out between the soil texture map, elevation map, and land cover/use map. Based on the land cover/use map, the area of land suitable for Private forest development is 4,011.95 ha consisting of scrubs (215.51 ha), fields/moor (3,639.84 ha), rainfed fields (114.68 ha), and pasture (41.92 ha). The results of the contour map analysis show that most of the study area has an altitude of <500 m asl (lowland), which is an area of 24,538.02 ha. The soil texture in the study location was dominated by loam, covering an area of 32,153.85 ha. The results of the plant suitability analysis showed that the study location was suitable for Private forestplants such as Acacia mangium, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, Melia azedarach, Paraserianthes falcataria, A. scholaris, Gmelina arborea, Erythrina variegata, Duabanga moluccana, and Hibiscus macrophyllus. While MPTS plants are Aleurites moluccanus and Ceiba pentandra.

One of the factors that influence national rice production instability is an attack of tungro disease that can lead to decreased production by up to 90% even if attacking in the vegetative period can cause crop failure. To reduce tungro disease in the field can be by using resistant varieties which are the most effective components in tungro control.Advanced yield trial is one step toprocess of producing tungro resistant varieties. This research aimed to identify the results of tungro resistant strains that have higher phenotypic character and yield potential than other tungro resistant varieties. The research was conducted at Tungro Disease Research Station, Lanrang Sidrap from December 2017 - March 2018 using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). were tentungro resistant lines and check varieties i.e Inpari 7 Lanrang and Ciherang and it was repeated 3 times. Data were analyzed using the F test and tested for significance with the Least Significant Difference (BNT). Correlation test was conducted between growth components, yield components and yields. The results showed that the lines tested had different >performances on the growth component, yield component and yield.There are three lines, namely BP12280-3f-7-Kn-2-1*B-Lrg-1-1-10-9, BP12206f-8-3-2*B-LR-20-4 and BP12280-3f-7-Kn-2-1*B-Lrg-1-16-14 which produced the highest productivity, which was supported by the number of filled grain per panicle and the number of panicles per clump.Flowering age 50%, number of panicles and number of filled grains were positively correlated with grain yield.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article is to create a mathematical reasoning modeling framework through working on high order thinking questions for elementary school students. The modeling cycle (formulating, applying, interpreting, and evaluating) is a central aspect of the conception of mathematical reasoning for students for the sake of mathematical literacy. Formulating is an individual's ability to recognize and identify opportunities to use mathematics and then provide a mathematical structure for problems presented in several contextual forms. Applying is an individual's ability to apply concepts, facts, procedures, and mathematical reasoning to solve mathematically formulated problems in order to obtain mathematical conclusions. Interpreting and evaluating (interpret and evaluate) is the individual's ability to reflect on mathematical solutions, results or conclusions and interpret them into the context of real life problems. This is a literature study, the data was collecting using literature studies on scientific journal articles and news about mathematical reasoning, high order thinking, and numeracy. The modeling cycle is recommended for teaching mathematics in elementary school through series of problem solving stages in questions with higher order thinking skill concept.

This research objective is to analyze students’ learning independence in the moodle-based learning at SWCU F-learn. This is a qualitative research by looking for the root of the research problem so that it can produce research findings. The subjects of this study were students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education which consisted of 20 students and then 3 subjects were selected with certain criteria. The research instrument used in this study were learning independence questionnaire, interview guidelines, and observation of the implementation of learning through Moodle. The validity and reliability of the instrument were reached by the validation from expert validators. The research was carried out by distributing questionnaires to students related to learning independence, then from students who had high, medium, and low learning independence, in-depth interviews and observations of the learning process were carried out through lectures. The data analysis used qualitative analysis by triangulating data sources, namely from questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The learning independence is the result of several integrated factors such as learning motivation, learning objectives, learning strategies, and self-evaluation. Subjects with low learning independence were caused by low learning motivation so that they did not have clear goals for the targets to be achieved. Subjects with moderate independence had good learning motivation but lack of follow-up and implications, so that less improvements were made. Meanwhile, subjects with high learning independence had high learning motivation and awareness, were able to design learning targets and make improvements simultaneously. In general, online-based learning using the Moodle/Flearn system requires good learning independence so that learning goals and achievements can run.

At the beginning of the 20th century in the U.S., psychological intervention one might say that have been born. This research started from the following hypothesis: there is a correlation between the awareness of the existence of counseling offices and the degree of addressability to the services offered by counseling offices. The method used was a questionnaire survey (Alpha Cronbach coefficient is .790), applied on 207 students. The existence of the counselling office in the university is unknown for 54.6% of students (113 subjects) and there are 55.1% (114 subjects) who do not know that there is a counselling office within the university, registering a correlation of .657** (p-0.01). Due to not knowing about the existence of this office and the services offered by it, the 152 subjects – there are 73.4% who never called the counselor, and they come as a negative consequence, unfortunately. Out of 23 students - 11.1% very rarely addressed counselling services and 16 students -7.7% rarely called the services of the counseling office. Only 1 student - 0.5% and 3 students -1.4% say they have very often or often turned to the counselling office in their student life. A number of 12 students - 5.8% declare that they have turned to the school counsellor every now and then.
