Uptake of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in Nigeria
Authors: Dairo David M , Adekunle Olajide A , Okedare Omowumi O
Published: January 2019

Background:

In 2000, the World Health Organization recommended the use of at least 2 doses of intermittent preventive treatment with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnancy.

Aims:

This research described the pattern of IPTp-SP uptake among pregnant women.

Methods:

This study involved re-analyses of the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey datasets for 2003 and 2008. Frequencies and chi-square (c2) (2x2) tests were used to describe the pattern of IPTp-SP uptake.

Findings:

The percentage of pregnant women who used any dosage of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and at least 2 doses of IPTp-SP increased significantly at P<0.05. There was significant increase whe classified by residence, region, socioeconomic status, education, literacy, partner's education, religion and employment status.

Conclusions:

Uptake of IPTp-SP is still low and calls for intensified improvement of awareness.

Authors: Laisser Rose Mjawa , Matovelo Dismas , Kuzenza Flora , Kidenya Benson
Published: January 2019

Background:

High maternal and neonatal mortality is still a challenge in Tanzania. Postnatal care services are highly recommended to prevent these deaths; however, uptake of the services is unsatisfactory. Studies on health facility factors related to low use of postnatal care are also limited.

Aims:

To determine health facility factors that contribute to the low uptake of postnatal care services in 43 primary care facilities of Misungwi District, Tanzania.

Methods:

A validated checklist with secondary data from health facility records was used in data collection, which took place between April and June 2016.

Findings:

Findings showed that 40.6% of 2648 women who gave birth at the facilities returned for postnatal care. Inadequate numbers of midwives, medicines, beds and laboratory facilities were found.

Conclusions:

There is an urgent need to deploy midwives and improve non human resources for better maternal and infant outcomes.
Nigerian students' awareness of breast self-examination
Authors: Ohaeri Beatrice M , Achilonu Blessing O
Published: January 2019

Background:

Mortality rates for breast cancer could be reduced if detected early, but late presentation is common in Nigeria. Breast self-examination is associated with early detection; however, despite its significant role in prevention, the rate of practice is still low.

Aims:

To assess the level of awareness of breast self-examination among female senior secondary school students in Akinyele local government area, Ibadan.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study surveyed 200 consecutively selected participants using a self-administered questionnaire.

Findings:

The majority (70%) had heard of breast self-examination, and commonly cited a painless lump (64.5%) and skin changes (60%) as symptoms. Many (50.5%) disagreed that obesity was a risk factor and could not identify the steps involved in breast self-examination.

Conclusions:

There was a high level of awareness of breast self-examination among participants; however, knowledge of risk factors and uptake of breast self-examination were low. Therefore, periodic intervention programmes targeting young females with information on breast self-examination should be encouraged.

Efficacy of Intralesional Alcohol Injection as Preoperative Treatment of Upper Lip Arteriovenous Malformation
Authors: Kreshanti Prasetyanugraheni , Sudjatmiko Gentur , Anindhawati Nur
Published: January 2019

Management of vascular malformation remains a major challenge because treatment carries a substantial risk of morbidity and recurrence of the fundamental problem. Intra-lesional 96% alcohol injection as a combination with other treatment modalities has good-to-excellent results. Six-year old female with a 5-year history of arteriovenous malformation on her upper lip underwent intralesional alcohol injection under general anesthesia. Afterward we performed excision of the lesion. During the surgery we used Satinsky intestinal clamp to control the bleeding by compressing the artery. The follow up period was 9 months; there were no complications and no signs of relapse. Aesthetically, the result perceived as acceptable to the parents and other viewers. In cases of arteriovenous malformation involving the lip the technique of injecting alcohol 96% intralesional in conjuct with reducing blood loss by using Satinsky intestinal clamps had an acceptable result aesthetically.
Sidik-Chaula Urethroplasty and the Manset Flap for Non-Glanular Hypospadias Repair
Authors: Sukasah Chaula L , Supit Laureen
Published: January 2019

Hypospadias present with a wide array of meatal position and curvature. Choosing an operative technique for the different types of hypospadias has been challenging and controversial among the plastic, urologic, and pediatric surgeons. Regardless of the selected techniques, primary hypospadias repair still frequently results in complications requiring further surgery, such as fistula, residual chordee, and stricture. Owing to its practicality, the single stage urethroplasties are more-popular and widely used at present. However, our experience found higher rates of postoperative complications with the one-stage procedure compared to the two-stage for repair of non-glanular hypospadia. This article details the operative techniques of the two-stage Sidik-Chaula urethroplasty, a technique that we have implemented in our institution over two decades. It is applicable for the primary repair of any distal, middle, and proximal hypospadias. We also introduce the Manset Flap, a simple modification to the first stage of urethroplasty, which ease neourethra creation in the second stage. However, due to prior insufficient medical recordkeeping, we are yet unable to produce a quantified rate of success and complications by utilizing this technique. A study is currently being done to produce the numbers.

Authors: Atmowirdjo Parintosa , Laidding Sachraswaty
Published: January 2019

Marjolin’s ulcers are a rare squamour cell carcinomas which develops in non-healing scar tissue. The most frequent predisposing lesion is in a post burn wound, especially after flame burns. Incidence appears to be on the rise and outcome of treatment remains poor. A 51-years old male with burn scar at the posterior left calf since 43 years ago. After burnt, the wound was left to heal spontaneously with minimal treatment. Three years later an unhealing wound emerged on the scar. This wound got bigger, spreaded further, turned into a mass 15 x 8 x 5 cm in size. The tumor was mobile, ulcerative with unprovoked bleeding, malodorous, and painful. Biopsy and imaging concluded a diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma from Marjolin’s Ulcer, Stage III (T4N0M0). Wide excision was performed 1-2 cm from hiperemis area, neighboring muscles sacri"ced. Frozen section revealed a free-tumor margin and wound covered by split thicknes skin graft. On folllow up, STSG’s “take” was 100%. Four months postoperation, a wound the size of 1 x 1 x 0,5 cm appeared at the distal left posterior calf. Biopsy was performed, result showed granulating tissues with no sign of malignancy. The wound was treated in the outpatient, and healed well. Marjolin Ulcer’s prognosis is not very favorable so it best to prevent at the best first place.
Free Vascularized Dermofat Flap For Contouring Maxilla In Fibrous Dysplasia Patients
Authors: Atmodiwirjo Parintosa , Martina Nungki Ratna
Published: January 2019

Fibrous dysplasia is a disease that causes bone thinning and growth of lesions in one or more bones and leads to bone weakness and scar formation within the bones. Especially when involving the skull or facial bones, the lesions can cause externally visible deformities. We reported one case of fibrous dysplasia of the maxilla reconstructed in our Plastic Surgery Division of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Data was taken from the medical and surgery records. In this case, we used the Antero Lateral Thigh (ALT) flap to reconstruct the maxilla and facial contour in 26 years old girl with fibrous dysplasia. After the operation we had daily observation to evaluate the blood flow to the flap and it had satisfactory result without any complication. Ultimately, free vascularized dermofat flap with ALT seems to be suitable for craniofacial contouring surgery, in this case for contouring maxilla. Facial contour could further be improved after secondary reshaping of the healed flaps. This led to nearly perfect long-term facial symmetry in all cases. The ALT proved to be a reliable donor site, providing enough well-vascularized fatty tissue for facial contour augmentation.
Evaluation of Facial Trauma Severity in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Using FISS Scoring System
Authors: Bangun Kristaninta , Kesuma Ayu Diah
Published: January 2019

Many scoring systems were introduced to search prognostic value in trauma patients. Facial trauma is a special trauma because it can cause many disabilities in facial function. There have been several reports on facial severity scoring system, such as Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS) and Maxillofacial Injury Severity Score (MFISS). Although these scoring systems have been introduced in many journals, they are not yet used by many clinicians because of their unawareness of its beneficiary. In this study, we want to introduce and apply these scoring systems in our maxillofacial data, thus it can be used for documentation system, as a research tool, and have prediction value for prognosis We retrospectively collected data on patients with facial trauma in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in 2009. The data collected were age, gender, etiology, use of helmet, type of fracture and treatment given. Each patient then evaluated by FISS score to obtain their degree of severity. Using FISS score introduced by Bagheri, we found the average FISS score ini this evaluation was 3,37 ± 1,9, with minimum value 1 and maximum value 9. Most patients have FISS score 2 (24,7%). From FISS scoring system, we found that most of maxillofacial trauma in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital in 2009 was mild trauma. In order to evaluate if FISS scoring system has predictive value for prognosis, a large sample and complete maxillofacial database are needed.

Published: January 2019

We conducted a prospective study on children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) for assessing the physical growth status, establishing the determinants of growth, and determining the effect of natural history on growth. There were 46 VSD patients and 30 controls aged 1-5 years. We divided the subjects into two groups; group A consisted of 32 VSD patients and 16 controls aged 12-35 months, group 8 comprised 14 VSD patients and 14 controls aged of 36-60 months. A simple hemodynamic scoring system was created to determine the correlation between physical growth and severity of hemodynamic alteration, using 10 findings based on history, physical, and non-invasive examinations. Body weight and height, and arm circumference were measured every 3 months up to 12 months. The growth status correlated well with the hemodynamic scores. Body weight and arm circumference were more affected than body height Physical growth disturbance was observed in high score patients at the beginning, and became more evident at the end, of the study. In low score patients and circumference was slightly affected at the beginning of the study, while body weight was slightly disturbed after 9 months of observation.

Published: January 2019

Vertical transmission of hepatitis B infection that may occur during pregnancy at delivery-, in infancy, and early childhood has an important role in the development of chronic hepatitis B. Intrauterine infection is suspected to occur when hepatitis B viruses cross the placenta into fetal circulation due to failure of placental tissue function. In Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, 98 (6.4%) of 1536 pregnant mothers obseiVed during 3 years (1987 -1990) showed positive HBsAg. Six (8.3%) of 60 babies of born to HBsAg positive mothers showed positive HBsAg in their cord blood, but this disappeared after one month. All babies born to HBsAg positive mothers were vaccinated on months 0, 1, 2, and 12. HBsAg in cord blood might not play an important role in vertical transmission.

A 13-month ols Batak girl presented witih signs and symptoms of congenital hypothyroidism. On physical examination, umbilical and inguinal hernias were present. Treatment with L -Thyroxme using initial dose 45/µg/day for one month was initiated and after two months the signs and symptoms disappeared. Laboratory finding showed normal T4, but T3 was slightly low. Radiological examination was done to evaluate the bone age. The treatment was continued using the follow-up dose of L-Thyroxine 45µg. Although the treatment has resulted in good outcome,  evaluations for the child's growth and development should be continued.
Role of Persistent Diarrhea Control in Declining Infant and Childhood Mortality in Indonesia
Authors: Ismail Rusdi
Published: January 2019

In diarrheal diseases control program (CDD), the mechanism of diarrheal diseases (DD) death can be classified into: dehydration, dysentery, complication, and persistent diarrhea. The aim of the presentation is to predict the share of these components and to highlight the role of persistent diarrhea. Demographic figures were inferred from the Census and the 1985 Inter-Censal Survey data. Rates on DD were inferred from the National Household Health Surveys and relevant reports. The mechanisms of death were inferred from the pattern of DO death in Palembang General Hospital. By fair prediction, in infants, 1.5 lives will be saved per 1000 live births through COD Program, 88% is the share of persistent diarrhea control, and 20% of better management of DD complicated with other diseases. In 1-4 years of age, the figures are 68% and 38%, respectively. The share of promoting rehydration and dysentery management will be minimal in declining infant mortality rate (MR) and childhood death rate (CDR) between 1992 and 2000. The share of COD in declining IMR and CDR must depend on a better management of persistent and complicated DD.

Authors: Soetomenggolo Taslim E.
Published: January 2019

Between December 1993 and December 1994, 46 patients with acute leukemia treated with vincristine were evaluated for the possibilities of peripheral neuropathy. Of the 46 patients, 39 patients had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and 7 had acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. All patients had received vincristine; 29 (63%) of the 46 patients had it for 5 - 9 weeks, and 17 (37%) had it for 4 weeks or less. rn 10 (21.7%) patients peripheral neuropathy was detected clinically, and in 35 patients (76%) the neuropathy was detected by electrodiagnostic examination. No evidence of neuropathy was detected in 11 patients. The electrodiagnostic examination was more sensitive than the clinical examination. Pe1ipheral neuropathy, either detected clinically or by means of electromyography, occurred mostly in patients with the dosage of vincristine of 5-20 mg, and the duration of treatment of 5-9 weeks.

Published: January 2019

A utilização da água subterrânea no abastecimento público de grandes cidades é uma demanda crescente. Na área urbana de Campo Grande (MS), 46 % do abastecimento público é oriundo de poços tubulares profundos dos sistemas aquíferos Bauru, Guarani e Serra Geral. Por meio de gráficos da profundidade de níveis estáticos e mapas de rebaixamentos, gerados a partir de dados obtidos na perfuração e em 2016, foi possível fazer uma análise temporal dos resultados. O Sistema Aquífero Bauru (SAB) apresenta um rebaixamento do nível estático de 2,4 metros na área urbana, após 5 anos de operação. O Sistema Aquífero Guarani (SAG) apresenta 34 metros de rebaixamento em 22 anos de operação de poços, sendo um indicativo de aprofundamento regional desses níveis. O Sistema Aquífero Serra Geral (SASG) é o sistema aquífero que apresenta valores menores de rebaixamentos, contemplando até 30 anos de monitoramento. A classificação de produtividade dos aquíferos brasileiros do Serviço Geológico do Brasil baseada na capacidade específica, atribui um alto potencial hidrogeológico aos sistemas aquíferos no Mato Grosso do Sul. Para o SAB classifica-se como um sistema aquífero de produtividade alta; o SAG como um sistema aquífero de produtividade muito alta e o SASG como um sistema aquífero de produtividade moderada. Assim, a avaliação temporal periódica dos sistemas aquíferos se faz necessária, visando tanto o abastecimento contínuo de grandes cidades quanto o entendimento do comportamento dos sistemas aquíferos ao longo dos anos.

Authors: Holčapek Ondřej , Reiterman Pavel , Konvalinka Petr
Published: January 2019

The main objective of this article is to present the influence of high temperatures on mechanical properties of advanced refractory cement composite reinforced with carbon fibres. The presented material is suitable for industrial applications and can withstand elevated temperatures up to 1000 °C. The action of high temperatures was investigated on two temperature levels 600 °C and 1000 °C and was compared to reference specimens dried at 105 °C. The carbon fibres with flexural strength of 4100MPa were applied in dosage 0.50 %, 0.75% and 1.00% of the total volume. The second investigated modification was mutual ratio between aluminous cement and fine ceramic powder. The influence of high temperatures was investigated by measuring the bulk density, compressive and flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and fracture energy; all measured on prismatic specimens 40 × 40 × 160 mm. The workability of fresh mixture was limited by the maximum dosage of carbon fibres in 1% of the total volume. Based on the workability and evaluation of residual mechanical properties after temperature loading, the best was found to be the combination of carbon fibres in dosage of 0.75% by volume.
MODIFICATION OF HIERARCHICAL AGGLOMERATIVE CLUSTERING WITH COMPLETE LINKAGE FOR OPTIMAL USAGE WITH PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORKS
Authors: Pehnelt Tomáš , Lafata Pavel , Nevosad Marek
Published: January 2019

Today, passive optical networks (PONs) represent a modern solution for high-speed FTTx subscriber lines and networks. Due to the fact that optical fibres and cables are deployed in last-mile network segments. Unfortunately, the costs of trenching and installation of optical cables in cities are still very high today. However, the application of mathematical methods and algorithms for designing optimum network solutions and topologies might significantly decrease the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX) of the whole process. This article introduces an efficient method based on agglomerative clustering for an optimization of deployment of PONs in practice. The paper describes its application and proposes the necessary modifications of the clustering method for the environment of PONs. The proposed algorithm uses the technique to cluster and connect the adjacent optical terminals and splitters of PONs and to calculate the optimum locations of these units in order to achieve the most optimum network solution and to minimize the summary capital expenditures.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: Our experience in minimally invasive procedures and improvement of graft technology enables easy and successful operation carried out even with complex thoracic aortic diseases from limited surgical area. However, it should be more than one incision or cannulation site for such intervention. We aimed to present our experience and results of 23 patients who has ascending aorta and aortic arch pathologies of which we operated with J-shaped partial sternotomy and innominate vein cannulation. Methods: From January 2014 to January 2016, 23 patients with aorta and aortic valve pathologies who underwent aortic surgery with J-shaped partial sternotomy and innominate vein cannulation included. Operation findings, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) values, postoperative results, surgical mortality and morbidity rates, late conversion to full sternotomy rates, ICU and hospital length of stay were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 53.7±12 (range 19-68) and 18 (78.2%) were males. Arcus aorta debranching applied to 4 patients (17.3%) and one of these procedures was frozen elephant trunk procedure (%4.3). Neither mortality nor cerebrovascular accident occurred. Mean CPB peak flow was 4.6±0.4 L/min, mean flow index calculated as 2.01±0.38 L/min/m2 and there was no CPB problem intraoperatively. Innominate vein ligation was carried out in 5 patients but no complication was seen except one who had left arm swelling treated with elevation. Conclusion: Innominate vein cannulation with J-shaped partial sternotomy is a reliable and easily applicable method providing effective utilization of limited operative field not only in ascending aorta and aortic arch operations but also with the advancements of hybrid systems used in descending aorta pathologies.

Authors: Khosravani-Rudpishi Mohsen , Joharimoghadam Adel , Rayzan Elham
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Although coronary tortuosity is relatively common in coronary angiograms, there is much debate over the significance of this anatomical variation. So in this study the relation between significant coronary tortuosity (SCT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) was examined. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 737 patients (57% male) who were admitted to the hospital for a coronary angiography, based on their symptoms or non-invasive imaging. Coronary arteries defined as SCT are in the presence of either ≥3 consecutive curvatures of 90◦ to 180◦ or ≥2 consecutive curvatures of ≥180◦ measured at the end-diastole, in a major epicardial coronary artery ≥2 mm in diameter. Results: 29.17% of the patients had SCT of which females (64.7% vs. 34.1%, P< 0.001) and higher aged persons (62.9±8.4 vs. 57.8±10.7 years ± SD; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with SCT compared to non-SCT. Left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA) with SCT in comparison to non-SCT, had lesser probability of CAD with stenosis severity of ≥50% (34.5% vs. 46.1%; P = 0.019 and 17.7% vs. 31.1%; P = 0.001 and 27.9% vs. 43.5%; P = 0.013 respectively) and also had significant lower Gensini scores (4.1±5.3 vs. 8.4±11.9; P = 0.011; 2.1±3.4 vs. 5.2±9.5; P = 0.01 and 1.2±1.9 vs. 5.03±8.9; P < 0.001 respectively) but higher TIMI frame count (15.7±5.3 vs. 11.9±4.6; P < 0.001 and 17.1±4.4 vs. 12.7±4.4; P < 0.001 and 15.2±3.9 vs. 11.6±4.8; P < 0.001 respectively). Conclusion: SCT is negatively correlated with CAD and there is a significant association between SCT and reduced coronary flow rate.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: The present guidelines recommend placing the catheter tip in the superior vena cava (SVC) above the pericardial cephalic reflection. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of two different approaches in locating the tip of the Central venous catheter (CVC) at the suggested vascular zone. Methods: This was an interventional study on two hundred patients undergoing Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) operation who required a central venous cannulation. They were randomly assigned into two groups. In the first group catheter placement was applied through using the conventional 15 cm method. In the second group a C-length method was applied for measuring the depth of catheter tip placement from the preoperative chest radiographs. For statistical analysis Chi-square test and T-test were used. Results: In the first group (15 cm) 100% of the patients had their catheters placed below the C-line (Carina line) and the average distance between the catheter tip and the C-line was +4.22±2.10 cm. In the second (C-Length) group 52% of the catheters were below C-line with an average distance of +0.77±0.5 cm. There was a meaningful difference between the two groups in respect to the catheter location depth and zone of placement (P<0.001). Conclusion: The C-Length approach in comparison to the conventional 15 cm approach resulted in a considerable higher number of catheters above the recommended C-line, thus it can provide a more reliable and safe mode for CVC placement in the SVC.

Introduction: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is known as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world with a growing trend, especially in some developing countries. CAD commonly observed in elderly cases, however; recently it is usually found in young adults. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) in patients with premature CAD. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in Baqiyatallah hospital from April 2012 to April 2016. Patients with premature CAD were included in the study. The data regarding the laboratory tests, echocardiography, and angiography were obtained from all cases. Results: Overall 133 eligible patients were included in the study. In the first set of the laboratory test, 18 patients were recognized to have APS (13.53%). The second confirmatory APA test was showing 3 of 18 patients were considered to have APS (2.25%). Conclusion: The results showed there is an association between the risk of developing Premature CAD and APS could potentially. The APS may have significant effects on the risk of coronary heart disease, especially in young adults.
La muerte del enemigo como espectáculo: el bombardeo a alias “Monojojoy” a través del telenoticiero RCN-Colombia
Authors: Orozco Macias Andres Fernando
Published: January 2019

Investigación cualitativa e interdisciplinar con un análisis de contenido, que toma como foco la transmisión noticiosa de los abatimientos a los líderes guerrilleros, puntualmente ¿De qué modo interpretativo-conceptual el noticiero del canal RCN televisión emitió la primicia de la muerte de Víctor Julio Suárez Rojas alias “Monojojoy”? Esto analizado en el marco de los 50 años de conflicto armado en Colombia entre las FARC-EP y los dos últimos gobiernos: Álvaro Uribe Vélez y Juan Manuel Santos. La importancia de destacar estos dos mandatarios es que Uribe Vélez impulso la Política de Seguridad Democrática que tuvo como foco el incremento de la fuerza pública para la eliminación definitiva de las organizaciones insurgentes. Esta pregunta y el breve antecedente mencionado, permitió desarrollar dos momentos analíticos: el primero, es la construcción de los enemigos del Estado a través de los discursos del telenoticiero de RCN; y la segunda, la dinámica conexión política entre los telenoticieros colombianos y las políticas de Estado como fuente discursiva para interpretar el conflicto armado.
Принцип наступності у руслі модернізації початкової освіти : Нова українська школа
Authors: Lysenko Nelly
Published: January 2019

Наступність розглядається як закономірність психофізичного розвитку; як умова безперервної освіти; як принцип навчання і виховання. Вступ до школи вимагає компетентності у різних сферах життєдіяльності дитини, наявності базових якостей, які забезпечать її безболісне входження у різні соціальні групи та процеси особистісної самореалізації. Відповідно, основна мета дошкільної освіти полягає у всебічному загальному розвитку згідно потенційних можливостей і пролонгована на всебічний загальний розвиток як основна мета освіти уже в початковій школі. Вступ дитини до школи завершує її дошкільне дитинство. На межі дошкільного і молодшого шкільного віку виникає психологічне новоутворення – “внутрішня позиція школяра”: синтез двох потреб: пізнавальної (бажання вчитися, набувати нові знання і уміння) і соціальної (посісти нове місце в суспільстві, увійти у світ дорослих). Наступність як складну педагогічну проблему слід розглядати у вимірах єдиної змістової лінії для забезпечення ефективності розвитку дитини в : – на рівні дошкільної освіти – збереження самоцінності дошкільного віку; сприяння пізнавальному і особистісному розвитку дошкільників; формування готовності до взаємодії з навколишнім світом; розвиток гри як провідного виду діяльності; – на рівні початкової школи – урахування досягнень дошкільного дитинства; диференційований підхід до інтенсивного розвитку; забезпечення провідного виду навчальної діяльності і новоутворення молодшого шкільного віку. Сьогодні ЗДО перестає бути “школою для маленьких” і перетворюється “інститут соціалізації”, що актуалізує такі поняття: “готовність до навчання у школі” і “психоло-гічна готовність до школи”; “готовність до школи” і “життєва компетентність”. Ефективними формами забезпечення наступності розглядаємо збори, семінари, конференції, педагогічні ради з обміну досвідом роботи; взаємовідвідування педагогів і адміністрації закладів освіти, з обговоренням і обміном досвіду; організацію спільних заходів; складання в ЗДО соціально-психологічної характеристики кожної дитини, передається вчителям початкових класів.

Authors: Voronova Nadiia
Published: January 2019

Стаття актуалізує використання інтерактивного освітнього середовища в процесі фахової підготовки майбутніх магістрів культурології. Наголошується перспективність парадигми “суми високих технологій”, яка базується на сучасній інформаційно-комуніка-ційній інфраструктурі. Аналізується впровадження принципів комп’ютеризації та інформатизації, що поєднанні в методі інформатизації освіти. Метод інформатизації культурологічної освіти характеризується активним залученням мультимедійних засобів у фахові навчальні дисципліни. Визначено найважливіші науково-технічні та соціально-економічні проблеми інформатизації, як от створення системи ефективного забезпечення своєчасними, вірогідними і вичерпними відомостями всіх суспільно значимих видів людської діяльності, умов для оперативного, ґрунтовного і всебічного аналізу досліджуваних проце¬сів і явищ, прогнозування їх розвитку, передбачення наслідків прийнятих рішень. Перспек-тивним виявляється освоєння майбутніми магістрами культурології нових методів і орга-нізаційних форм культурно-дозвіллєвої діяльності в інтерактивному освітньому середовищі.

Особливості становлення особистісно-професійних якостей майбутніх учителів-логопедів
Authors: Maksymiv Yuliia , Chupakhina Svitlana
Published: January 2019

У статті обгрунтовано сучасні підходи до формування професійної культури майбутнього вчителя-логопеда, підгрунтям для яких стає рівень професійної підготовки фахівців та їх етико-деонтологічний рівень в умовах переходу вищої освіти на європейські стандарти. Проаналізовано сучасні підходи до визначення поняття “деонтологія” та порівняння педагогічної етики і педагогічної деонтології. Визначено деонтологічну підготовку майбутнього-вчителя логопеда як цілеспрямований і керований процес, який розпочинається у закладі вищої педагогічної освіти й продовжується в професійній діяльності. Деонтологічна підготовка передбачає знання про “правильну” поведінку логопеда в різних ситуаціях. Важливим завданням вчителя-логопеда стають уміння дотримуватись специфічних, професійних та етичних вимог у системі “вчитель-учень”, “вчитель-батьки”, “вчитель-вчитель” тощо. Визначено умови успішної організації навчально-виховного процесу та означеної взаємодії в сучасній системі інклюзивного навчання. Обґрунтовано підходи до корекційно-розвиткової роботи з дітьми з особливими освітніми потребами, доведено необхідність дотримання особливих вимог до професійної компетентності вчителя-логопеда, оскільки вона є вирішальним чинником розвитку й навчання. Визначено, що вирішення означених завдань значною мірою залежить від професіоналізму логопеда, його культури, духовності, моральності. Доведено важливість особливого підходу до ситуацій ризику в діяльності вчителя-логопеда, визначення особливостей поведінки в означених ситуаціях з огляду на принципи педагогічної деонтології, виявлення взаємозв’язку між ініціативою, творчістю, новаторством й ризиком; визначення видів ризику.Отож деонтологічний компонент компетентність визначено як результат підготовки педагогів, що доводить необхідність спеціальної деонтологічної підготовки вчителів-логопедів для роботи з людьми з особливими освітніми потребами.Підтверджено, що деонтологічна підготовка вчителів-логопедів є однією з можливостей цілеспрямованої трансляції в соціокультурне середовище належних підходів до суб’єктів сучасної освіти – логопедів та їх вихованців з особливими освітніми потребами.

A comparison of the Hand Test results of Finnish and Lithuanian school children
Authors: Bliumas Remigijus , Windgren Marketta
Published: January 2019

Although the Hand Test (HT) scores should be cautiously approached when using individuals from different cultures, the quantitative results of Finnish and Lithuanian groups of 13 year old children seem to be in line with Stetson's and Wagner's (1980) hypothesis on potential use of HT in different cross­cultural studies. Finnish children scored higher on Exhibition, Active, Tension, Fear subcategories, on Environmental and Maladjustive combined categories, also on Total Number of Responses and Average initial Response Time. Lithuanian children scored higher on Description subcategory. The differences were more marked between the Finnish and Lithuanian girls than between the boys of these nations. The results are fixed as a starting point for /ong-term cross-cultural research.
Relationships among identity statuses and social adaptation at school indices
Authors: Legkauskas Visvaldas
Published: January 2019

Research report on relationship between ego identity and aspects of social functioning at school is presented. Subjects were 110 Lithuanian 12-th graders, 46 male and 64 female. For the assessment of identity status the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status, final revision (EOMEIS-2) developed by Adams, Bennion, and Huh (1989) was translated into Lithuanian language. Self-report Subjective Social Well-Being Scale and Problem Behavior Scale completed by teachers, as well as popularity in class, served as functioning in school indices and also as a criteria for predictive validation of the EOMEIS-2.EOMEIS showed satisfactory reliability and construct and criterion validity. Ideological moratoriums were more popular than ideological achievers. Interpersonally committed statuses had better subjective social adaptation than interpersonally non-committed statuses. Interpersonal diffusions and foreclosures displayed less problem behaviors than interpersonal moratoriums and achievers.
Damonstrative behavior and its motivation
Authors: Viliūnas Vytis , Kravčenko Anna
Published: January 2019

The article on the basis of zoopsychological and psychopathological data investigates the meaning of demonstrative motivation for human behavior. Animal studies show that a single clear determined demonstration phenomenon does not exist. Demonstration in a wide sense is the component part of communication, so it can be initiated by any motivation, providing for contacts between individuals. Demonstration in the narrow sense, discussed in the article, is most distinctly expressed in behavior, aroused by propagative, hierarchy relations, territorial and defensive motivation. The existence of functionally autonomic need for self-demonstration, independent from other kinds of motivation, is discussed in the context of the such problems as instinct organization and phylogenetic development of motivation. This need is a result of the gradual separation (emancipation) in evolution of demonstrative elements from the needs, to which they were initially subordinated.Psychopathological data shows that demonstration most intensively and frequently reveals itself in hysterical type deviations. Human demonstration is amazingly diverse, with inherent secret expression of conversion self-demonstration, when somatic illnesses are imitated in order to have everyone’s attentions. Hysterical symptoms most convincingly substantiates the existence of functionally autonomic motivation of demonstration, the rudiments of which are observed in animal behavior. Among various deviations of this motivation, light hysteria forms, the pathology of which is usually doubtful, should be singled out, as well as the cases of hysteroidic psychopathy and accentuation, the description of which refers to an insatiable passion for turning attention at oneself as to the main particularity. It is reasoned that psychopathic traits should be treated not as cases of pathology but as extreme variations of a norm. Such interpretation, first of all, significantly advocates the statement that the need for demonstration is characteristic of a human being and is a crucial part of his/her basic motivation. The second important conclusion drawn from such comprehension of psychopathies is that, due to genetic variability, human beings originally differ in expression of the need in question (as well as other needs). Motives stimulating phylogenetically primary instrumental employment of self-demonstration are not, in the case of a human being, strictly regulated; thus they become considerably diverse. Among different cases of instrumental self-demonstration, its defensive employment should be singled out, which is aimed at avoidance of traumatizing events or at mitigation of their after-effects.
