Authors: Okaily Nagwa I. , Foley Rehab R. , Abd Elhakeem Mohammed A. , Kasem Ahmed H. , Ismail Doaa E.
Published: January 2025

Background

The morbidity, mortality, and quality of life of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are significantly impacted by exacerbations. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), which act as an amplifier of the innate immune response, procalcitonin (PCT) is a polypeptide that normally produced by para follicular cells (C cells) of the thyroid and by neuroendocrine cells of the lung and intestine could be used to determine the severity of inflammation.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess levels of sTREM-1 and PCT in COPD and evaluate the role of them in diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) due to bacterial infections.

Patients and methods

The study was conducted on 60 individuals divided into group I (exacerbation group): included 20 patients. Group II (stable COPD group): included 20 patients. Group III (control group): included 20 individuals, apparently healthy and matched for age and sex. Assessment of sTREM-1 and serum PCT levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in addition to complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, renal function tests, C-reactive protein, and sputum culture.

Results

sTREM-1, PCT, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were higher in the AECOPD group than in other groups. In AECOPD: the result of sputum cultures revealed; 65% Gram-negative bacteria and 35% Gram-positive bacteria, while in stable COPD: the growth of normal upper respiratory tract flora is 65% then Gram-positive bacteria (20%) then Gram-negative bacteria (15%). PCT, sTREM-1, and NLR showed a higher level in patients who had Gram-negative infection than those with Gram-positive infection, and the lowest level in those who showed growth of normal flora. Pseudomonas is the most commone causative organism of exacerbated COPD (35%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25%).

Conclusion

sTREM-1, NLR, and PCT level can be considered as an appropriate diagnostic marker in patients with exacerbated COPD due to bacterial infection and in differentiating them from stable COPD patients and may be used to guide medication and target management in patients with AECOPD.

Published: January 2025

Introduction

Allergic asthma is considered the most common phenotype of asthma, which is characterized by immunoglobulin E sensitization to aeroallergens. The association between allergic sensitization to aeroallergens and asthma severity and control has been evaluated in a few studies. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between aeroallergen sensitization patterns and both Bronchial asthma (BA) control and severity.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on BA patients attending allergy and immunotherapy clinics. A skin prick test was performed as per clinical indication. BA control and severity were assessed according to GINA guideline 2021.

Results

The study included 100 BA patients. The most common allergens to which the patients were sensitized were mites (74%), followed by molds (70%). There was no statistically significant association between allergen sensitization patterns and BA severity. There was also no statistically significant association between allergen sensitization patterns and BA level of control. However, there was a significant association between the duration of BA and its severity or control (P<0.001 for both).

Conclusion

Allergen sensitivity is a common feature of asthma. House dust mites and molds were the common allergen sensitization identified in BA patients. Atopy is not the primary underlying cause of uncontrolled or severe bronchial asthma.

Published: January 2025

Background

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often develop various health complications, including pulmonary dysfunction. Hemodialysis (HD) is a common treatment for these patients, but its effects on pulmonary function remain an area of investigation. This study aimed to assess the impact of HD on spirometry parameters in ESRD patients.

Patients and methods

This prospective study was carried out on 60 patients with ESRD on HD. Spirometry parameters, including vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of FVC (FEF 25–75%), were measured 1 h before and after HD.

Results

After HD, significant improvements were observed in several spirometry parameters. The median % change in VC was 9.92% (range, −27.05 to 47.66%), in FVC% was 11.68% (range, −16.5 to 47.37%), in FEV1% was 12.56% (range, −2 to 49.43%), in FEV1/FVC was 1.52% (range, −9.39 to 17.32%), in PEF% was 14.86% (range, −15.33 to 131.73%), and in FEF 25–75% was 13.89% (range, −14.29 to 97.56%).

Conclusions

In ESRD patients, pulmonary abnormalities, primarily restrictive and mixed disorders, were common. Spirometry parameters (FVC, FEV1, PEF rate) were often below normal. However, HD led to notable improvements in VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEF 25–75%, PEF rate, and arterial blood gases parameters (pH, CO2, HCO3, SO2).
Ramification of air pollution on extrinsic asthma: causation and severity
Authors: Bhosale Aryan , Noman Obaid , Bandre Gulshan
Published: January 2025

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by variable airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation. Evidence suggests that air pollution has a negative impact on asthma outcomes in the population. Extrinsic asthma usually begins in childhood, and most patients have a prior history of allergic diseases such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and urticaria. This type of asthma is closely related to hypersensitivity to allergens such as house dust, pollen, molds, animal hair, and organic and chemical dust. Air pollution is a major environmental factor that can exacerbate asthma symptoms such as dyspnoea, cough, and wheezing and has been linked to an increased risk of developing asthma. This study aims to investigate the relationship between air pollution and extrinsic asthma, including how it can exacerbate asthma symptoms and the potential harmful effects on health.

Болезнь Альцгеймера (БА) – один из самых распространенных типов деменции, который возникает у пожилых (как правило, старше 65 лет). Средняя продолжительность жизни пациентов с момента проявления первых клинических симптомов БА составляет приблизительно 8–10 лет. При этом, несмотря на открытия, оказавшие положительное влияние на лечение БА, к сожалению, стопроцентно эффективное лекарственное средство, которое могло бы спасти миллионы людей от деменции, до сих пор не найдено. Задачей представленного обзора является анализ последовательного развития подходов к фармакотерапии данного заболевания. Лечение БА эволюционировало от архаичных методов к современным терапевтическим стратегиям. Изучение патогенеза БА в рамках холинергической гипотезы обеспечило основу для разработки ее специфического лечения и внедрения в практику ингибиторов холинэстеразы. Дальнейшие исследования, основанные на амилоидной гипотезе, привели к разработке моноклональных антител, таких как адуканумаб, продемонстрировавших определенную эффективность в клинических испытаниях. Несмотря на прогресс, полное излечение БА остается нерешенной задачей, стимулирующей дальнейшие интенсивные исследования в данном направлении.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common types of dementia that occurs in older adults, usually 65 years old. The average life expectancy of patients from the moment of the first clinical symptoms of this disease is approximately 8 to 10 years. At the same time, despite significant discoveries that have positively impacted treatment, a complete and effective drug that could save millions of lives from dementia has not yet been found. The aim of this review is to analyze the progression of therapy for this disease. The treatment of AD has evolved from archaic methods to modern therapeutic strategies. The study of the pathogenesis of AD within the framework of the cholinergic hypothesis provides the basis for the development of specific treatment of this disease and the introduction of anticholinesterase inhibitors into practice. Further research based on the amyloid hypothesis has led to the development of monoclonal antibodies, such as aducanumab, which have shown some efficacy in clinical trials. Despite this progress, a complete cure for AD remains an unresolved issue that continues to stimulate intensive research in this area.

Published: January 2025

Вопрос роли акушера занимал значительное место в земской медицинской практике в Российской империи середины XIX – начала XX века. Земскими врачами в условиях российской деревни впервые были исследованы факторы риска как для материнского, так и для детского здоровья. На охрану здоровья матери и ребенка была направлена работа по организации квалифицированной акушерской помощи, учреждению яслей-приютов, профилактике острых детских инфекций, поддержке грудного вскармливания, профилактике сиротства. При этом ряд земских медико-социальных программ (организация акушерских пунктов, яслей-приютов) оказались неэффективными. Более значительных успехов удалось добиться в деле профилактики острых детских инфекций, медицинского обеспечения учеников земских школ и детей-сирот. Многие инициативы земских врачей – поддержка грудного вскармливания, профилактика сиротства, массовая иммунизация – используются в современных системах охраны материнства и детства.

The role of the obstetrician occupied a significant place in zemstvo medical practice in the Russian Empire in the mid-19th – early 20th centuries. Zemstvo doctors were the first to study risk factors for both maternal and child health in the Russian village. The work on organizing qualified obstetric care, establishing crèches and shelters, preventing acute childhood infections, supporting breastfeeding, and preventing orphanhood was aimed at protecting the health of mothers and children. At the same time, a number of zemstvo medical and social programs (organization of obstetric centers, crèches and shelters) turned out to be ineffective. More significant successes were achieved in preventing acute childhood infections, medical care for students of zemstvo schools and orphans. Many initiatives of zemstvo doctors – support for breastfeeding, prevention of orphanhood, mass immunization – are used in modern systems of protecting mothers and children.
Porcine lymphotropic herpesviruses – a new threat to domestic pigs in Croatia
Authors: Božiković Margarita , Prpić Jelena , Kamber Magda , Jemeršić Lorena
Published: January 2025

Porcine lymphotropic herpesviruses 1, 2 and 3 (PLHV-1, PLHV-2 and PLHV-3) are DNA viruses belonging to the genus Macavirus and the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae within the family Herpesviridae. PLHV was detected in domestic pigs in Germany in 1999, with subsequent outbreaks in Spain, Brazil, Italy and Ireland, which was the trigger for our preliminary study to investigate its occurrence in Croatian pig herds. According to previous studies, natural infections with PLHV in domestic pigs do not cause clinical signs of disease. However, PLHV-1 has been found to cause lymphoproliferative disorders in domestic pigs after bone marrow transplantation that are similar to those described in humans infected with human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), which originates from individuals after organ transplantation. HHV-4 is the causative agent of mononucleosis and is the first virus described to have oncogenic potential. HHV-8 causes Kaposi’s sarcoma and contributes to the development of lymphoproliferative disorders in humans, such asprimary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman’s disease. In this study, blood and spleen samples from domestic pigs were analysed using real-time polymerase chain reaction, which has been shown to be an excellent method for the detection of PLH viruses as it is rapid, highly specific and sensitive. The presence of all three PLHV strains in domestic pigs in Croatia was confirmed for the first time with a prevalence of 55.8% regardless of breeding conditions. The most dominant strain was PLHV-1 and the most frequent co-infection was PLHV-1 with PLHV-3. The virus was detected in 10 Croatian counties, with the highest prevalence found in Vukovar-Srijem County. Although herpesviruses are generally species-specific, the close genetic relationship of PLHV with HHV-4 and HHV-8 may indicate a possible zoonotic potential, particularly in immunocompromised human recipients following xenotransplantation. Further investigation of PLHV will contribute to a better understanding of its importance in maintaining the health of pigs and will include genotyping to identify origin of the viruses and potential public health risks.
The impact of in ovo administration of folic acid on gga-mir-let-7k-5p, Cyclin D1(CCND1) and nerve growth factor (NGF) expression inthe cerebral cortex of chicken embryos

Published: January 2025

Folate is essential for the proper development of the brain. The gene CCND1 is responsible for the synthesis of the cyclin D1protein, which facilitates the differentiation and proliferation of neurons. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is critical for the survival and maturation of neurons. MicroRNAs are involved in regulating various phases of neurogenesis, including the proliferation of neural stem cells and differentiation of neurons. Given the important role of folic acid (FA) inthe regulation of gene expression, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of in ovo injection of FA on expression levels of gga-mir-let-7k-5p, CCND1, and NGF in the cerebral cortex of chicken embryos. This study involved a total of 120 hatching eggs.Of these, 40 eggs were administered FA injections into the amniotic fluid at a dosage of 150µg per egg, another 40 eggs received Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) injections (Sham)on embryonic day 11, while the remaining 40 eggs served as controls without any injections. Cortical tissues were subsequently collected on embryonic day 19, and Real-timePCR was employed to analyse the expression of mir-let-7k-5p, CCND1, and NGF. The results revealed that the expression levels of gga-mir-let-7k-5p in the FA-treated, Sham, and control groups were 0.46±0.09, 0.73±0.18,and 0.76±0.17-fold change, respectively. Additionally, the expression levels of CCND1were recorded at 1.77±0.38, 1.18±0.25, and1.11±0.28-fold change, respectively, whileNGF levels exhibited similar patterns at1.92±0.50, 1.12±0.25, and 1.04±0.21-fold change, respectively (P<0.05). Statistical analysis indicated a significant increase in the expression of CCND1 and NGF, along side a reduction in gga-mir-let-7k-5p expression in cortices treated with FA compared to the control. This suggests that the in ovo administration of FA enhances the expression of CCND1 and NGF, while decreasing gga-mir-let-7k-5p expression in the developing cerebral cortex of chicks. Enhancing our understanding of how folate impacts the activation of gene sand microRNAs related to the development of the cerebral cortex, and its potential connection to neural tube defects, will improve our knowledge of brain development, and could result in new treatment approaches to further reduce the occurrence of these abnormalities.

The aim of the article is to track the dynamics of the development of citizens’ social competencies in the context of specially organized socio-cultural activities. The method of V.V. Sinyavskyi and B.A. Fedoryshyn was used to determine the development of communicative and organizational abilities, as well as the method of N. Hall to study emotional intelligence (EI). It was found that, in general, medium indicators of social competencies are characteristic of the studied citizens. The developed programme of socio-cultural influence showed effectiveness in the dynamics of communicative abilities. However, the changes turned out to be more significant in the students’ sample. The indicators of organizational abilities as a result of the formative experiment remained unchanged. El significantly changed in the group of working citizens after completing the programme, while the indicators remained stable among students. The results indicate the partial effectiveness of the programme of socio-cultural activities in the development of social competencies of the citizens of Ukraine. The obtained data make it possible to optimize the strategy of educational influence in the student environment with a focus on the cultural integration of the individual. The data can also be used to develop communication trainings for specialists of certain organizations. Research prospects are to clarify gender differences in the influence of socio-cultural activities on the development of citizens’ social competencies.

En la tecnología educativa para la formación de los estudiantes de medicina, dentro del subsistema universitario, se va cerrando una brecha en el empleo de las tecnologías de cuarta dimensión como una nueva experiencia humana o, una nueva manera de formación, a través de la representación del ciberespacio. La metadimensionalidad de las TIC sumergen al usuario y lo hacen parte del proceso, dicho de otra manera, la cuarta dimensión tiene un grado de realidad en la educación médica por medio de visores tridimensionales y tetradimensionales del cuerpo humano. Con la fenomenología interpretativa como enfoque, se da paso al conocimiento para percibir una realidad en la educación médica del mañana, adoptándose como método el círculo hermenéutico que va del todo a las partes y de las partes al todo. Metadimensionalidad de las TIC, significa más allá de en cuanto a dimensión, para integrar plataformas digitales en una, representadas éstas por los metaversos, la bioimpresion, la georreferenciación satelital, la realidad aumentada, la realidad virtual, la proyección holográfica, entre otras tecnologías emergentes. Así el estudiante en su proceso de formación complementa con estos circuitos de tecnología, para un aprendizaje significativo en Ciencias de la Salud.
Las circunstancias culturales y el error sobre el matrimonio.
Authors: Barber Juan Damián Gandía
Published: January 2025

En los archivos del Dicasterio para la Doctrina de la Fe se encuentran las dudas formuladas en diversas épocas sobre el matrimonio. Nos encontramos tres casos planteados desde territorios de misión, que están conectados tanto por la pregunta que se formulaba, como por la argumentación de los votos de los Consultores que, en los casos más recientes, se razonaba según los anteriores y se aconsejaba recurrir a las Instrucciones para ellos emanadas. Uno de ellos planteaba esta duda para los matrimonios entre los ortodoxos abisinios, mientras que los otros dos eran para los conyugios entre personas no bautizadas. En los tres se cuestionaba si se podían considerar nulos todos los matrimonios contraídos con la posibilidad de poderlos disolver con facilidad en el futuro, según la costumbre o ley del país. No siendo la primera vez que se planteaba tal duda al Dicasterio, podemos observar como la línea argumental se va repitiendo en los distintos votos y se va recurriendo a las mismas soluciones que se dieron para casos incluso más antiguos. Dentro de los diversos defectos de consentimiento que se formulan (simple error, condición puesta excluyendo la indisolubilidad de forma expresa), también se argumenta la posibilidad de la nulidad de estos matrimonios cuando se hubiera puesto como una condición implícita en el fuero interno, que hacía que la voluntad solo quisiera el matrimonio celebrado según las costumbres y leyes del país. Concurrían todo un conjunto de circunstancias, indicios y pruebas que, junto a la declaración jurada de los cónyuges, o uno de ellos, avalada por la investigación sobre su honestidad y veracidad, podían hacer que se alcanzase la certeza moral de la nulidad del concreto matrimonio.  Se afrontaba de este modo aquello que se formularía en el c. 1099 del Código de Derecho Canónico como error intelectivo que determina la voluntad, aunque entonces no se denominase de este modo.

The development of the creativity of preschool children is a favorite subject for teachers, psychopedagogues, psychologists in the educational system, parents preoccupied with increasing the creative potential of the personality. The paper presents some definitions with reference to the concept of creativity; the defining elements of the research focused on the elucidation of the impact of the use by educators of classic and modern didactic technologies on the development of preschoolers’ creativity are highlighted; the results certified by preschool children regarding the level of creativity development are described; the Experimental Program for the development of preschoolers’ creativity is briefly presented through the educator’s use of classic and modern didactic technologies. We believe that the implementation by educators in all didactic and extra-didactic activities of classic and modern technologies, focused on the development of fluidity, flexibility, originality and elaboration, related to the age and individual characteristics of children, ensures the progress of preschool children’s creativity.
School – that attractive place you want to go to
Authors: BUCUR Mihaela-Corina
Published: January 2025

The most effective way to prevent and combat school dropout is to make the school an attractive, desirable place where students come with pleasure, and one of the methods is to involve them in extracurricular activities that give them the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity and thus feel useful and appreciated. The teacher's mission must be to stimulate students' imagination, enthusiasm and desire to express themselves and their aspirations. As part of an international partnership, I coordinated a complex photography and graphics project, intertwining art with science and aiming to promote school attraction and combat absenteeism and school dropout. The stages of the project were: the development of logos, the decoration and aesthetic arrangement of some spaces of the school, the design of posters with positive messages ("We love school!") and the making of photographs that capture art intertwined with science. Dozens of students from our school enthusiastically engaged with their creations, impressing with imagination, ingenuity, skill, making them connect more with the school environment, teamwork, socializing and making friends, factors that make them they make students become an integral part of the school they attend.
The interference of the axiology of education and the theory of the integralization of value orientations in the professional formation of teachers
Authors: ANTOCI Diana
Published: January 2025

Permanent changes taking place in society require the promotion and development of the axiology of education by achieving technological transfer from the field of research and application in the process of initial and continuous professional formation of teaching staff. From this perspective, it becomes current and necessary to identify the interferences between the axiology of education and the Theory of Integralisation of Value Orientations, being an innovative and relevant direction in the professional formation of teaching staff. This theory does not stop at the theoretical level but penetrates into practice by providing concrete tools to evaluate, form, and integrate values in teaching-learning-evaluation methods and interaction with subjects. It is the catalyst that transforms values from the conceptual level into reality, providing teachers with practical ways to convey and encourage these values among learners. Determining the interferences between the axiology of education and the Theory of Integralisation of Value Orientations constitutes the crucial ability to transform education into a holistic experience.
Attachment and temperament as determinants of the conflict in the class (school)
Authors: DRÂMBĂ Simona
Published: January 2025

Attachment, as a complex mental process, is one of the most important processes identified by researchers in the fields of psychology, ethology, neurology, etc. and a determining factor of many choices that we turn into habits and integrate into our behavioral area. Temperament, on the other hand, with its innate character has an incomprehensible role yet fully. Concerned about the causes that may disturb the balance of a class of students and studying the literature, we discovered the importance that attachment and temperament can have in this regard. At the same time, we have found that, in mancazacy respects, the research into the relationship between attachment, temperament and conflict is still in its infancy and deserves more attention. This is how we came to cut from the multitude of possibilities to approach attachment and temperament, the situation in which these processes are determinants of conflict in the classroom.

Authors: CAZAC Viorica
Published: January 2025

The world nowadays is marked by constant socio-educational transformations, which require innovative approaches to organizing the educational process by fusing ITC and effective teaching tools. This research contributes to a better understanding of the adaptive pedagogical strategies in the realm of English language teaching. English, as a global lingua franca, is taught in diverse settings, and its effective teaching is essential for the success of language learners, particularly in specialized fields. Teaching English for Medical Purposes mostly focuses on careerrelevant language skills, enabling students to apply acquired knowledge in meaningful communication within their professional settings. The goal of the Medical English Course is to develop highly competent medical professionals proficient in both workplace communication and language usage. Therefore, authentic materials are considered to bring real-world context into the classroom, as well as enhance improved target language acquisition, student engagement, motivation, and achievement. These may also enable learners to connect with language in a meaningful way and encourage a more creative approach to teaching and learning. The article also investigates the efficiency of various types of authentic materials in integrating language skills and assesses whether they outperform traditional teaching methods (or the adapted ones). The present research introduces interactive and authentic approaches to help students effectively discuss medical topics and prepares them for self-directed learning in their future careers, as well as encourage students to engage in discussions on specialized medical subjects, thereby facilitating effective English for Medical Purposes acquisition.
Conditions and forms of language and communication development of preschool children
Authors: POPESCU Zamfirel , CENUȘE Ramona
Published: January 2025

Language, communication, and literacy represent primary conditions for the global development of the individual and coexistence in society. Children communicate before they can use symbolic language. Their communication is based on the acquisition of an important set of skills, such as awareness of language as a social convention, listening, understanding, and verbal conversation. The child, through interaction, becomes familiar with the multiple forms and intentions of communication. As since early childhood, the acquisitions in this field are produced in stages or steps, and their quality and quantity are cornerstones for the construction of human development, we are interested in the particularities of language and communication development in preschoolers, including their communication problems and forms of overcoming speech defects. In the process of communication with adults, children's selective attitude towards adults appears. The child's attitude towards the educator depends on his communication style. The democratic style, the emotional-positive tone, demanding, but full of confidence towards the children, cause them to trust and be sincere in their communication with the educator. Autocratic communication style (exaggerated demands, angry tone, mistrust towards children) or indifferent style (inattention to children, lack of emotional nuance of communication) causes children negative emotions, aggressiveness, and lack of sincerity. Communication with children of the same age plays an important role in the formation of the preschooler's personality. Towards the end of early childhood - the beginning of preschool age, the separate contacts between children are systematized and constitute an integral and independent activity - communication with peers, which is carried out in the following forms: emotional-practical, situational-constructive, non-situational-constructive. The purpose of the research consists in documenting and describing the peculiarities of language development and verbal communication in preschool children, including speech deficiencies, presenting the correct and complex organization of interactive activities in this field, based on the implementation of modern methodology in education, oriented towards language compensation and teaching children to properly master the treasures of the mother tongue.
The festival as a form of organizing didactic activities
Authors: VÎLCU Marcela
Published: January 2025

In contemporary times, festivals have burgeoned into one of the most prevalent mechanisms for orchestrating cultural and artistic events. Music festivals, theatre festivals, film festivals, dance festivals, folklore festivals, and an array of other genres are organized both on the international and national stage. Notably, festivals have also found their place within the realm of education, with cultural and artistic occasions frequently serving as platforms for students to exhibit their creative proficiencies. Concurrently, modern pedagogical practices, rooted in the constructivist educational model, have discerned festivals as an unconventional yet efficacious educational method, denoted as 'Festivals and Celebrations.' This article delves into the festival's role as a modality for structuring didactic activities within a lesson, proffering insights and recommendations for conducting a comprehensive review lesson within the domain of Romanian language and literature.
A mindfulness-based approach to theater vs a theater approach based on mindfulness

Published: January 2025

This theme investigates two innovative perspectives on personal development and awareness: a theater-based awareness approach and a theater-based approach to mindfulness. These approaches integrate elements of theater and mindfulness techniques synergistically, with the potential to improve actors' emotional, cognitive, and relational well-being. The mindfulness-based approach to theater combines theatrical techniques with mindfulness practice, encouraging participants to be present in the present moment and explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a creative setting. It can facilitate self-knowledge, empathy and emotional expression, using theater as a means to interact with one's inner experience. On the other hand, the theatre-based approach to mindfulness brings theatrical elements to the practice of being present in the present moment. Participants are encouraged to use theater techniques to develop their ability to non-judgmentally observe and accept their thoughts and emotions. This can stimulate creativity and add a new level of depth to your mindfulness practice.

In the article we will analyze motivation as a process that activates, orients and maintains the person towards the achievement of certain objectives, it is the response filter to certain needs, it is the active attitude of knowledge. The motivation for learning is the drive to engage in the accomplishment of tasks, resulting from the generative factors. Social, cultural, contextual factors, as well as personal values and beliefs are the result of motivation. In the same context, the motivation for learning is identified in four dimensions: the behavioral one, which emphasizes the aspects of dynamics and regulation; the personal one, expressed by the desire to increase one’s own prestige. In the same context, we mention the role of the sociocultural dimension, which is ensured through interaction and acceptance of the psychological and cultural differences of people. To discover new knowledge - comes the cognitive dimension. The reflections presented by teenagers regarding the motivation of learning are inspirational and aspirational towards continuous development.
Afectivitatea – o condiţie pedagogică principială în realizarea învăţării umane
Authors: BÂLICI Veronica
Published: January 2025

The article addresses the pedagogical dimension of the emotional-affective aspects, revealing the importance of affection in education/learning, in interpersonal relationships. As it is the fundamental part of human mental activity, affectivity becomes a fundamental pedagogical condition for an efficient learning. This presupposes a complete (not only intellectual, but also emotional) formation of the student. Interpersonal relationships are unthinkable in the absence of affective involvement, of love as a language, of imagination. Love encourages, unites, edifies, enriches, brings only joy. A perfect communion is formed through love as a language, as a special meeting, contributing not only to the development of the student’s own personality, but also bringing a deep knowledge of the world. Learning through communion becomes learning through love and it is a spiritual meeting full of tenderness, respect and giving.
Reconfigurarea învățării prin resursele formative ale textului

The integrated approach of Romanian language and literature as a school subject is the scientific and methodological vision that governs the didactics of the discipline in the Third Millennium. The training of the reader, speaker and of the cult, knowledgeable, expert script will be done with the didactic care of the teacher to masterfully integrate the linguistic, textual and discursive dimension of communication competence. In the perspective of the identity card of the current learning process, the harmony and balance between verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal is the fundamental condition that allows the construction of the three profiles. From the point of view of the dynamic construction of learning, the school must place priority emphasis on the holistic approach and on the instrumentalist approach, which conceives the text as a means to communicate and exchange messages, but, especially, on the constructivist approach, which sees the text as an opportunity for each speaker to build meanings, to give inter/-transdisciplinary meanings to an oral or written message. We believe that a scientific and creative benchmark in the reconfiguration of textual learning is that of protext as a pedagogical phenomenon, didactic principle, didactic methodology, comprehensive function, factor for streamlining learning by extrapolating the interpretation of the text into the existential reality of the reader. Therefore, the current vision of reconfiguring learning, which the concept of linguistic and literary-artistic education must promote in the postmodern school will be focused on the idea that learning based on the formative resources of the text builds meanings, and a text does not have objective meaning, as long as each reader can construct other meanings while speaking, read, write, listen.

Exploring Resilience As A Mediator In The Relationship Between Religiosity And Social Support On Psychological Well-Being Of Worker
Authors: Soplantila Frieska , Sandra Lidia
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between religiosity, social support, and psychological well-being among university employees. Employing a quantitative approach, the research examines how these variables interact to influence the mental health of this demographic. The results, based on a sample of 345 university employees, indicate that while religiosity does not have a direct, significant impact on psychological well-being (p > 0.05), it indirectly affects well-being through resilience, which functions as a full mediator. This finding suggests the transformative role of resilience in channeling religious beliefs towards enhanced mental health. In contrast, social support shows a direct, albeit small, significant impact on psychological well-being. The study highlights the nuanced interplay between personal belief systems, social support, and psychological well being. It proposes that enhancing resilience and strengthening social support systems could be crucial for improving the psychological well being of university employees.
