Application of Gamification Pedagogy in the Mock Court Course Based on WeChat Platform
Authors: Tan Zhiying
Published: October 2023

At present, the traditional mock court course teaching pattern still has some problems such as severe performance, excessive formalization and so on. It is difficult to meet the course teaching expectations. The use of gamification pedagogy in legal education is an effective way to help students achieve real gains in learning outcome. Therefore, the application of gamification pedagogy in the mock court course involves incorporating game elements in non-game environments and utilizing game mechanisms to encourage classroom participation. This article proposes to integrate points, badges, leaderboards (PBL) and other game elements into teaching through storytelling and role-play. This article conducts mock trial teaching in the context of legal conflicts based on WeChat platform, which is supported by flow state theory, constructivist learning theory and expectancy theory. In the Crazy Rescue Plan, a gamified teaching design framework, teachers take legal conflict scenarios creation and in-class mock trial practice as two major game levels, transforming the classroom into a challenge game. The purpose of this article is to apply gamification pedagogy into the mock court course teaching, enhance students learning interest and engagement, and hope to provide valuable references for the reform of legal practice teaching.

Authors: Yao Wen
Published: October 2023

With the increasing awareness of individual rights and independence, there is a growing popularity in the concept of citizens personal independence. Consequently, general personal tort disputes between spouses are on the rise, with motor vehicle traffic accidents serving as a typical example. This article explores the general personal tort liability between husbands and wives in China from this perspective. Using the fundamental logic of "problem identification, analysis, and solution finding," it compiles general personal tort cases between spouses in motor vehicle traffic accidents from recent years, examines the current state of domestic and international research, and presents judicial controversies regarding the application of the law, the determination of tort liability, and the realization of damages in such cases. The primary research methods employed are case analysis, literature research, and comparative analysis. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that previous judgments, legal improvements, and traditional views have influenced the application of the law. The determination of tort liability has not yet established a unified standard, and the property system of husbands and wives poses an obstacle to the realization of damages, which is the primary reason for differing judgments in similar cases. Consequently, it is recommended that the application of the law follow the sequence of the Road Traffic Safety Law, Tort Liability section, Personality Rights section, and General Provisions section to determine whether it constitutes general personal tort liability between spouses in motor vehicle traffic accidents in China. Additionally, clarifying the existing legal norms of matrimonial property can eliminate certain obstacles to realizing damages. The objective of this article is to provide practical guidance for judicial practice, ensure that remedies for the rights of the tortfeasor are achievable, and enrich theoretical research outcomes.

Authors: Pate Hannah Li
Published: October 2023

Teenagers hardly want to speak their thoughts, making it is hard for adults to understand them. The major concern in China is with teen involvement in underage drinking, smoking, and prostitution. This has also caused teenagers to have terrible mental health situations as they are exposed to the internet where they can access any information. In China, there is a new movement called the Bai lan movement which directly translates to letting it rot and not participate in society at all. Chinese teenagers have picked up this trend too. Therefore, this paper proposes for people who have been through smoking and drinking addiction, prostitution, and depression to come present at schools to tell their story because teenagers do not want to listen to lectures. They simply do not care. These presenters will be revealing stories about their life to inspire the teenagers to transition out of the I dont care mindset to truly solve the root issue. Teen prostitution occurs usually in rural areas, so the program will be collaborating with a local law firm to teach rural teenagers about their own rights, preventing them from vulnerably sharing their information online.

Gender Leadership and Impacts
Authors: Zhao Chenfei
Published: October 2023

The text focuses on female and male leadership characteristics and images. By demonstrating the relationship between gender and leadership and exploring the current state of the gender gap as an introduction, gender is linked to leadership, demonstrating that male leadership is a transactional leadership style, task-orientated, goal-orientated when in power, able to be decisive, possessing a winning attitude, and likewise possessing the disadvantages of being authoritarian and a climber. In contrast, females predominantly use transformational leadership styles and can diversify their leadership demonstrations to change the Management styles. Womens leadership is based on empowerment, and they can also demonstrate humanistic care in organisations by being democratic and collegial, gaining insight into the needs of their subordinates, and developing and mentoring their staff. Although female leaders also have advantages in intuition and communication, they are more sensitive to things, easily emotional, and less recognised in stereotypes, and these shortcomings can be a hindrance to the promotion of women like executives. Furthermore, different gender combinations can have different impacts on organisational performance. Finally, since male and female gender leadership will tend to be homogeneous with the development of the times, suggestions are made on how to narrow the gender gap and how to use gender leadership according to the three aspects of society, company and individual, to achieve the enhancement of organisational performance.

Published: October 2023

Aim: In December 2019, the coronavirus disease was caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Some drugs were repurposed for this disease treatment. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), favipiravir (FAV), molnupiravir (MOL), and dexamethasone (DEX) were widely used for the treatment of the disease. To increase the success of the treatment of coronavirus disease, there was used some of these drugs in combination. On the other hand, limited studies report these drugs’ side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the possible effects of these drugs and their combinations on the kidney tissues of rats without viral load.
Materials and Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into control, HCQ, FAV, HCQ+FAV, HCQ+FAV+DEX, MOL, and MOL+DEX groups. At the end of the experiment, the serum kidney tissue samples were taken. Serum samples were analyzed for urea and creatinine. Kidney tissue samples were assessed as histopathological and immunohistochemical for heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), caspase-3, and receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3).
Results: Urea and creatinine levels were within the normal range in all groups. Histopathologically, all drugs and their combinations caused tubular degeneration. On the other hand, histopathological alterations were more prominent in the HCQ group. The oxidative stress marker HSP60 was significantly increased in FAV, MOL, and MOL+DEX groups, while it was similar to the control group in the HCQ groups. Apoptosis marker caspase-3 expression was found to be prominently higher in other drug groups except the FAV group. Expression of RIPK3, a marker of necroptosis, was significantly increased in all drug groups.
Conclusion: Taken together, the data of our study show that the administration of all drugs alone and in combination may cause structural damage to the kidney. Furthermore, our results indicate that HCQ can exhibit more damaging effects compared to other drugs.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a type of chemotherapy drug frequently used to treat different malignancies. However, one of the most serious adverse effects of DOX usage is the potential of cardiotoxicity. Cardioprotective medications may be used to reduce cardiac damage because of DOX therapy. Glycyrrhizin (GL) is found in high amounts in the roots of the ‘Licorice’ plant from the Glycyrrhiza species. Due to its possible effects on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular health, GL has attracted attention concerning the heart. Oxidative stress and inflammatory process have been shown to be responsible for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). For this reason, in consequence of its possible pharmacological benefits, such as antiinflammatory and antioxidant GL has been researched in this study. Here in, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of GL on DIC.
Material and Methods: In this study, thirty-two male Wistar albino adult male rats were used. Four groups of rats were assigned at randomly: Control, DOX, GL+DOX, and GL groups. DOX was given 20 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) and 100 mg/kg GL was administered orally (p.o.) once a day for 14 days. Electrocardiography (ECG) and BP records of the rats were obtained. In addition, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) levels in the tissue were measured. Histopathological analyses were performed on the myocardium and descending aorta.
Results: In the DOX group, mean and diastolic BP were higher than in the control group (p<0.05). In the GL+DOX group, diastolic BP was lower than in the DOX group (p<0.05). Pathological ECG changes such as ST segment changes and T negativity were observed in DOX-treated groups. MDA, SOD, CAT, and GSH levels studied in heart tissue were similar in all groups (p>0.05). GSH level in descending aorta was significantly lower in the GL+DOX group compared to the other groups (p<0.05). In the DOX group, degenerated cardiomyocyte density, interstitial edema, and severity of congestion-hemorrhage were statistically significantly increased compared to the control group (p<0.05). On the other hand, degenerated cardiomyocyte density was found to be significantly decreased in the GL+DOX group compared to the DOX group (p<0.05). In the DOX group, thinning of elastic lamellae and loss of myofibrils in muscle cells were observed in the descending aorta. Therefore, the histopathological alterations identified in the DOX group exhibited a significant statistical improvement in the GL+DOX group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, GL can regulate high blood pressure caused by DOX and also alleviate the toxic effects of DOX on both the myocardium and descending aorta.
Can mediastinum cause referred pain in idiopathic scoliosis?
Authors: Payas Ahmet , n Sabri
Published: October 2023

Objective: In idiopathic scoliosis (IS), the mechanism of action of pain that occurs especially in the back and neck region with the increase in curvature is not known exactly. In the study, the relationship between these pains and the mediastinum was investigated.
Materials and Methods: The study, which was planned retrospectively, included 25 individuals with IS (Lenke Type I) and 21 healthy individuals. Individuals with IS determined the regions where they felt the most pain on the body diagram. Lung and mediastinal volumes of the participants were measured in mm3 on computed tomography (CT) images. The ratios of the area occupied by the lung and mediastinum in the thoracic cavity were calculated in each group. Obtained data were evaluated using IBM SPSS 23.0 program and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of baseline characteristics (p˃0.05). It was determined that individuals with IS felt the most pain in the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th thoracic spinal nerve dermotomas regions. Compared to the control group, the area covered by the lung in the thoracic cavity decreased by 50% in the IS group, while the area covered by the mediastinum increased at the same rate (p<0.001).
Conclusion: We think that the pain that occurs in the neck and shoulder region with the increase in the degree of curvature in individuals with IS with a major curvature in the thoracic region (Lenke Type I) is referred pain originating from the mediastinum.
Assessing the Quality of YouTube Videos as a
Source of Information on Mild Cognitive Impairment

Abstract
Introduction: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) describes a clinical profile between healthy aging and pathological aging. Accordingly, individuals with MCI exhibit mild impairment in cognitive functions, such as memory and attention, that do not significantly affect daily life activities compared to healthy individuals of the same age. However, this condition does not meet the criteria for dementia. MCI can progress to dementia, remain stable, or return to normal cognitive status. Individuals diagnosed with MCI may develop a fear of developing dementia, leading them to search for information. YouTube is currently one of the largest and most popular databases worldwide and has become an important source of health-related information. However, the uncontrolled nature of YouTube has made its reliability controversial. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to examine YouTube videos on MCI in terms of their usefulness.
Method: The first 200 videos containing the phrase 'Mild Cognitive Impairment' were watched by two expert neurologists. These videos were examined based on their source, content, duration, and usefulness levels. The usefulness level was determined using GQS, DISCERN, and JAMA scores. Popularity analyses were conducted using VPI.
Conclusion: Out of the 200 videos screened, 130 were included in the analysis. Of these videos, 68% were found to be very useful. The leading source of these videos was health information portals. When analyzed according to their content, videos related to the clinic of MCI were at the forefront.
Discussion: The significant number of useful videos demonstrates that the use of YouTube is an important opportunity for the dissemination of accurate and useful health information. This suggests that trust in YouTube may continue to increase.
