Creating a validity argument for the "KU-Sense of Belonging Test" for exchange graduate students
Authors: Elizondo-Gonzalez Jose
Published: January 2024

What kinds of validity evidence can the University of Kansas Sense of Belonging Test (KU-SBT) provide? Through the operationalization of a construct, this study intends to build an initial validity argument for the KU-SBT to determine exchange graduate students' manifestations of internal and external sense of belonging, which may play a role in their academic performance and motivation. While existing instruments have examined students' perceptions of social dynamics, the KU-SBT goes beyond by not only capturing students' perceptions but also assessing their tangible, performative behaviors in a more technologically-oriented educational era. To accomplish this objective, this paper addresses foundational elements essential for initiating a test validity argument. These include establishing a theoretical framework, developing a construct, formulating test interpretation claims, creating a table of specifications, and constructing a pool of items. To conclude, the author describes the future steps needed to ensure the robustness of the KUSBT at the measurement level. These steps encompass piloting sessions, internal reliability tests, factor analyses, and other measures aimed at refining and strengthening the validity and reliability of the test.
"Croatian Orthodox Church": From idea to realisation
Authors: Prodić Slobodan
Published: January 2024

The "Croatian Orthodox Church" was a religious institution whose founding was a completely political project of the Independent State of Croatia. After eliminating the Serbian Orthodox Church from the areas controlled by Ustasha regime and crimes committed against the civilians of Serbian origin and of Orthodox religion by that regime, under the huge pressure of Germany, Ante Pavelić accepted the already existing idea of forming the "Croatian Orthodox Church". This religious organisation had the identical form as all other Orthodox churches. However, the main difference between this and other Orthodox churches was that this religious organisation was not recognised in any, primarily ecclesiastical-canonical way, by any other autocephalous churches. It was exactly because of this that the "Croatian Orthodox Church" represented a classic example of para-synagogue. As such, it is an interesting topic for researches, especially if we keep in mind current happenings on the geopolitical scene and modern attempts of founding new churches and destroying the unity and harmony among autocephalous Orthodox churches.
Fable, drama structure and its application in teaching
Authors: Tasić-Ranđelović Sanja
Published: January 2024

This research paper is dedicated to the in-depth study of the fable as a literary genre, exploring its significance in the context of education. A fable, a short story that often employs the use of personified animals to convey a moral lesson or life wisdom, combines a simple form, dramatic structure, and a specific style to effectively communicate its message. With a history that dates back thousands of years, fables have evolved over centuries while retaining fundamental characteristics that make them highly appealing to readers. The dramatic structure of a fable, encompassing introduction, complication, climax, and resolution, allows for the intricate construction of the narrative. The introduction introduces characters and establishes the basic situation, while the complication introduces a conflict that is resolved during the climax, and the resolution imparts the moral lesson or conclusion of the story. Fables are known for their simplicity, aphoristic nature, and use of allegory, with a style characterized by clarity, conciseness, and dialogical expression. Through the frequent use of animal personification, fables engage readers, facilitating an understanding of moral lessons. The methodological approach of this paper focuses on a thorough review of relevant literature on the fable as a literary genre, particularly emphasizing dramaturgical aspects. The analytical framework of the research involves the examination of linguistic and stylistic elements of fables, as well as the interpretation of moral messages within the dramaturgical context. Through this interdisciplinary approach, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the significance of fables in education and their contribution to the educational process. Additionally, the research will encompass an analysis of the practical application of fables in the classroom, investigating the effectiveness of various teaching approaches that utilize fables as an educational tool. This holistic approach not only seeks to comprehend the theoretical aspects of fables but also aims to practically apply their principles in the educational process, further expanding the perspective on their pedagogical potential.

Introduction: Ascaris lumbricoides is a widely spread helminthic infection, predominantly affecting children, making them the most commonly infected population group. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides infestation in two municipalities, Tešanj and Maglaj, and to investigate the occurrence of Ascaris lumbricoides infections in the pediatric population, focusing particularly on preschool children. Materials and Methods: The study involved the collection of 1409 fecal samples from the Tešanj and Maglaj areas, gathered over a 6-month period, spanning from September 2018 to February 2019. The processing of these samples was conducted in the Microbiology Laboratory of Tešanj General Hospital. Results: Out of the total 1409 samples, 129 (9.16%) tested positive for Ascaris lumbricoides infestation. In Tešanj, where 1198 samples were collected, 106 (8.85%) tested positive, while in Maglaj, 211 samples were collected, with 23 (10.9%) testing positive. Notably, the majority of positive cases in both Tešanj and Maglaj were preschool-age children, accounting for 88.68% and 86.96%, respectively. The study did not identify any statistically significant correlation between age and gender distribution among those with positive test results in either Tešanj or Maglaj. Conclusion: Based on the study results, which have highlighted the infestation of preschool children with Ascaris lumbricoides in two municipalities in our country, it is imperative to implement preventive measures aimed at reducing the incidence of infection.
A time of success and pride: From Paris (1924) to Paris (2024): Representatives of Serbia at the Olympic games
Authors: Stamenković Miloš
Published: January 2024

The history of the Summer Olympic Games is too rich and deserves a lot of space and attention. Between the two Olympics in Paris (1924-2024), exactly 100 years have passed. A whole century. This city was the organizer of the Olympic Games in 1900, when France won the most medals. This work and the idea of extracting the names of medal winners from these areas from the multitude of data is a modest contribution to the preservation of the Olympic spirit. For all athletes, going to the Olympic Games is a dream come true. The intention is to encourage already established athletes to fulfill the norm and find themselves in the selection of Serbia in 2024 at the Olympics in Paris. And so that they never forget the message: Persistence, will and love for sports are the drivers of many sporting and life activities and feats. The history of Olympism, scholarly works and books, will celebrate the pride of each Olympic medal-winning nation.

Published: January 2024

The content of potentially toxic elements chromium (Cr), arsenic (As) and nickel (Ni), in the agricultural land of the municipality of Topola was examined in this paper, with a presentation of geographic and natural characteristics of the municipality and the land use of agricultural land. The municipality has a central position in Serbia and it is characterized by favourable conditions for growing agricultural cultures. The content of Cr in the land in most cases is between the minimum limit value (MLV) and remediation value (RV), while the content of As on 87% of the examined areas is lower than the MLV, and the content of Ni on 94% of the areas is between the values of the MLV and the RV. It is necessary to take measures of prevention of the use of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes and fragmentation of arable agricultural land as well as implementing the control of soil fertility.

Published: January 2024

This paper aims to analyse the dynamic responses within FTW constructed on the riverbank, focusing on pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and the dynamics of calcium and magnesium concentrations. While some research has been carried out on Ca and Mg behavior in constructed wetlands no papers specifically addressed the removal mechanisms of these ions in FTWs have been found. Results showed that both polluted and treated water exhibited characteristics consistent with a mildly alkaline environment. Extremely low DO levels in cells with floating islands were increased after water passing through cell with algae. Ca removal efficiency in cells with floating island cells ranged from 2% to 6%, while the cell with algae achieved 23% to 49% efficiency. Modest Mg removal (1-6%) could indicate potential challenges in Mg removal processes within the FTWs. The analysis of plant responses to polluted water exposure reveals species-specific variations in Ca and Mg concentrations in shoots and roots. Ca concentration in algae tissue increased over time contrasting the marked decrease of Mg content. The study also revealed a gradual decrease of Ca and Mg concentration in stone wool corresponding to exposure duration. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex dynamics of water treatment in FTWs, emphasizing the need for continued investigation into ion removal mechanisms, plant responses to increased Ca and Mg concentrations, and the role of algae in these biological systems.

Authors: Jovanović Sanja , Popović Vladan , Lučić Aleksandar , Rakonjac Ljubinko
Published: January 2024

Plant growth promoting bacteria present a diverse group of bacteria with wide applicative potential in seedling production, especially in referring to the Green agenda concept. The effect of 2 bacterial species on one-year-old sessile oak seedling's height, root collar diameter, and their ratio was studied. Oak plants were from 2 provenances - Avala and Košutnjak. The most significant influence on measured traits in Avala had treatment with Pseudomonas koreensis, and in Košutnjak, with Viridibacillus arvi. However, a two-way analysis of variance showed no statistical significance of provenance effect and bacterial treatment on measured traits. The research needs to be repeated on a greater number of individuals in order to confirm the results since the bacteria manifested their PGP potential in vitro.

Measuring with Double Legal Standards
Authors: El Mahmoud Khaled
Published: January 2024

Less than two hours after Israel had closed its pleadings, the German Government released a press statement, announcing its intent to intervene as a third party under Article 63 of the Statute of the ICJ (ICJ Statute). Therefore, it can be assumed that Germany did not take sufficient time to conduct a comprehensive assessment prior to its decision. At all costs, it sought to be perceived as being on Israel’s side.
Germany’s decision may not appear startling given that it had previously intervened in both genocide proceedings against Russia (Ukraine v Russia case) and Myanmar (Rohingya case). However, in the latter case, Germany joined Gambia in upholding a purposive construction of Article II Genocide Convention, which would seem to present a serious obstacle to support Israel.
Thus, this contribution investigates whether Germany, in its intervention in the "Genocide in the Gaza Strip case", would be able to abandon its previous submissions in the Rohingya case and instead adopt a more restrictive construction of the Article II Genocide Convention.
Counter-Genocidal Governance
Authors: Mann Itamar
Published: January 2024

The International Court of Justice’s decision regarding South Africa’s request for provisional measures in its genocide case against Israel is expected tomorrow. Whatever the Court decides, it is worthwhile noting that the impact of the process is already evident. And any provisional measures that may be given, will shape a years-long and likely tense dialog between Israel and the Court, as well as third countries. Everything that will happen for the duration of the proceedings, over the next two or three years at least, will continue to build evidence until, finally, the owl of Minerva will spread its wings. My purpose in this post is to provide some provisional reflections on how that may work. In doing so, I will expand a bit on a notion I’ve tried to develop in a previous post, that of counter-genocidal governance.

The Impact of P-Type Layer on Performance and Stability of Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells in Relation to Third Generation: A review Analysis
Authors: Santosh Kumar Srivastava  , Jitendra Singh
Published: January 2024

Thin-film Silicon (Si) Solar Cells (SCs) have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaic devices due to their potential for cost-effectiveness and versatility. However, achieving high efficiency and long-term stability remains a significant challenge in their development. The primary challenges with thin-film Si SCs have been the poor infrared light absorption of Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon (c-Si: H) and the light-induced metastability of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon (a-Si: H). This study reviewed the influence of the p-type layer, a key component in thin-film Si SCs, on both performance and stability. Third generation SCs are optimized for high Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) at low manufacturing costs.  According to the review of the comparison analysis, Patel K. et al., (2021) obtained the highest PCE of 30.17% with the a-Si/MoTe2 material (Photocurrent Density Jsc = 32.41mA/cm2, An Open-Circuit Voltage Voc = 1.093V, and Fill Factor (FF) = 85.12%) of the state-of-the-art previous works. The findings presented here contribute valuable insights toward the development of efficient and durable SC technology, crucial for advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources in our ever-growing energy demand.

Published: January 2024

The article contains with the archaeological excavations of the Deller Jayir kurgans at 322.700 km of the SCPX (South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion Project) pipeline corridor. These kurgans are located in the territory of Deller Jayir village of Shamkir district of Azerbaijan Republic. About 10 kurgans were recorded in the kurgan field located on a relatively high hill on the right bank of the river, about 100-150 m away from the Jayir River, only 2 of them fell into the pipeline corridor, excavated and explored.

The surface of the Deller Jayir kurgans consists of stone formations with a clearly visible circular shape and a relatively concave center. They are located close to each other at a distance of 5-6 m. Preliminary analysis of the structures and burial rites in the Deller Jayir kurgans and the forms of the few pottery fragments found in these kurgans show that these kurgans date the transition stage from Middle Bronze Age to the Late Bronze Age, to be precisely, to the 15th-14th centuries BC.

¿Conlleva la desprescripción de condroprotectores en pacientes con artrosis un incremento del consumo de analgésicos? Estudio observacional retrospectivo
Authors: Barraquer Comes Anna , Monge Escartín Inés , Álvarez Carrera Asunción , De Antonio Cusco Marta , Peral Alonso Óscar
Published: January 2024

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es evaluar si la desprescripción de medicamentos considerados de bajo valor intrínseco como los condroprotectores o SYSADOA, conlleva un empeoramiento sintomático de la artrosis, incrementándose el consumo de analgésicos.
Material y métodos: Siguiendo la práctica clínica habitual se retiró el tratamiento con SYSADOA a pacientes de un Centro de Atención Primaria (población asignada: 34.382 habitantes, 17% mayores de 65 años) en base a la evidencia científica publicada y a la recomendación de la administración sanitaria de reducir los tratamientos con medicamentos de bajo valor intrínseco. Mediante un estudio observacional post-intervención se analizaron diferencias de consumo de analgésicos y AINEs entre un periodo anterior a la retirada y el mismo periodo post-retirada.
Resultados: Se analizaron 354 pacientes (68,4% mujeres, media de edad 66,2 años). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el consumo de analgesia total en el periodo de 6 meses post-retirada (media de 3,97 envases) comparado con el periodo de 6 meses previo (media de 4,04 envases). Al estratificar por código ATC, edad y género, únicamente se encontraron diferencias en el consumo de otros analgésicos y antipiréticos teniendo en cuenta el sexo.
Conclusión: Se concluye que, considerar con el paciente la desprescripción de SYSADOA a criterio del médico, es seguro y no conlleva un aumento del consumo de analgésicos (otros analgésicos y antipiréticos, AINE, opioides menores, opioides mayores) sugiriendo que no implica un empeoramiento de la enfermedad artrósica. La desprescripción de SYSADOA, además, puede contribuir a reducir la polimedicación sin alterar la situación clínica y evitar posibles riesgos de efectos adversos o interacciones potenciales.

Authors: Soldevilla Pablo , Torres-Novellas Berta , Orcau Àngels , Rius Pilar , Bagaría Guillermo , Caylà Joan A.
Published: January 2024

Introducción: En las últimas décadas, tanto la farmacia como el farmacéutico han estado en constante evolución, siendo fundamentales en el control de enfermedades infecciosas. Los objetivos de este artículo son mostrar el papel de los farmacéuticos comunitarios en el control de la COVID-19 y conocer la percepción que tienen sobre su papel en el control de esta pandemia.
Métodos: Se realizó y envió una encuesta a 8556 farmacéuticos comunitarios colegiados en Cataluña, donde se les preguntaba por su opinión y la percepción que tenían de su rol en distintas actividades de control de la COVID-19. Se realizó un análisis bivariante y descriptivo de las diferentes variables de la encuesta de manera global y estratificado por grupos de edad (<40 años, 40-60 años, >60 años) y por tipo de farmacia (urbana vs otras).
Resultados: La tasa de respuesta de la encuesta fue del 14,63% (1253). A pesar de la percepción positiva que tienen los farmacéuticos sobre su rol en la pandemia, el 90,9% de los encuestados considera que la Administración Sanitaria no contó mucho con las farmacias al inicio de esta. Se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas en determinados aspectos, como por ejemplo en la percepción que el farmacéutico tiene sobre el nivel de información del usuario, o en la frecuencia de encuentros con negacionistas, ambos hechos relacionados con la edad del farmacéutico (p=0,047 y p=0,001 respectivamente).
Conclusiones: Las farmacias son establecimientos sanitarios estratégicamente posicionados para realizar actividades de salud pública para colaborar en el control de pandemias. Por lo que el farmacéutico comunitario, en tanto que profesional de la salud, debe ser considerado una pieza más del engranaje para mejorar la eficiencia del sistema sanitario.

Estas familias suelen confiar en su farmacia desde hace más de tres años y no encuentran dificultades para obtener su tratamiento. El perfil de los pacientes que acuden a la farmacia es muy heterogéneo, pero la mayoría de familiares afirman conocer y centrarse únicamente en sus necesidades sociosanitarias. En relación a sus niveles de satisfacción, el recibimiento, la discreción en el trato, el tiempo de atención y la despedida son los factores mejor valorados.
Conclusiones: El profesional farmacéutico debe poseer, habilidades científicas y técnicas, necesita promover valores como empatía, habilidades sociales o capacidad de escucha, para poder prestar una atención farmacéutica personalizada a familias con enfermedades raras y conseguir humanizar la farmacia comunitaria del siglo XXI.

Introducción: A través de un acuerdo de colaboración entre el Departamento de Sanidad del Gobierno de Aragón y el Consejo de Colegios Oficiales de Farmacéuticos de Aragón, las oficinas de farmacia de Aragón tienen la posibilidad de adherirse voluntariamente para su colaboración en la vigilancia epidemiológica, mediante la realización de test de antígenos, comunicación de los resultados y emisión de certificados.
Método: Previamente a la adhesión, las farmacias han de cumplir una serie de requisitos, incluyendo una declaración de responsabilidad. Ante la solicitud de un paciente asintomático que desea realizarse un test, el farmacéutico debe seguir un algoritmo de decisión.
Resultados: A fecha 3 de octubre de 2021,303 farmacias en Aragón han participado. Se han emitido 6.021 Certificados COVID Digitales de la UE, tras la realización de un test de diagnóstico de antígenos en la oficina de farmacia, con 92 resultados positivos. 
Conclusiones: Las oficinas de farmacia han resultado esenciales en la realización de test de antígenos, comunicación de resultados y emisión de Certificados COVID Digitales de la UE.

Foro de Atención Farmacéutica se constituye en 2004 con el impulso del Consejo General de Colegios de Farmacéuticos. Forman parte de este grupo de trabajo representantes de las distintas instituciones de todos los ámbitos profesionales (académico, colegial, primaria, hospitalaria y comunitaria). Conscientes de las dificultades de implantación y desarrollo de la Atención Farmacéutica, inician un proyecto de trabajo para llegar a acuerdos de definición, terminología y práctica de la Atención Farmacéutica que tiene como resultado el Documento de Consenso de Foro en 2008…
Autoridad profesional

¿Quién otorga la autoridad a los profesionales sanitarios en nuestro país?

En primer término, las instituciones académicas que acreditan los conocimientos y habilidades necesarios para prestar servicios sanitarios a la población residente en España.

En segundo término, las instituciones profesionales y corporativas señalan el tiempo y lugar donde aquellos profesionales debidamente acreditados por los centros educativos pueden poner en práctica lo estudiado y aprendido, además de avanzar en especializaciones.

Por último, la legislación central o autonómica da validez legal al ejercicio profesional de cada titulado para poder ser contratado en centros públicos, concertados o privados.

¿Es esta la situación de todos los farmacéuticos de España? Es así para todos aquéllos contratados en el Sistema Público de Salud que otorga capacidad legal para desempeñar las funciones señaladas a cada servicio farmacéutico de cada institución.

Pero no es así para todos los que ejercen en farmacias comunitarias cuya única capacidad legal está relegada al buen control, conservación y dispensación de los medicamentos autorizados en nuestro país y la elaboración de fórmulas magistrales.

Los 25 años de trabajo entregados a la definición, protocolización y ensayo de diversos servicios asistenciales basados en los conceptos del Pharmaceutical Care no han conseguido un reconocimiento legal que avale intervenciones profesionales dirigidas a mejorar los resultados de los medicamentos que los pacientes utilizan y retiran de sus farmacias.

El caso clínico que se publica en este mismo número de nuestra revista, ilustra con creces que esa falta de apoyo legal para prestar un servicio asistencial necesario, ocasiona 12 meses de retraso en la mejoría del paciente, un gasto grave para él y para el sistema de salud, intervenciones de medicinas alternativas no justificadas y la frustración sin fin de la farmacéutica que lo atendía.

La solución puede pasar por integrar a los farmacéuticos comunitarios que presten servicios asistenciales en el sistema público de salud o con otros proveedores de asistencia sanitaria.

Esta integración conllevará compartir información de los pacientes con los demás profesionales implicados en esos centros y esta integración necesitará de una remuneración específica, por acto, por paciente o por localización territorial.

Es urgente legislar sobre ello y poder aprovechar el capital inconmensurable que suponen más de 22.000 puntos donde ofertar servicios profesionales asistenciales para conseguir mayores niveles de salud, no solo con el buen uso de los medicamentos.

¿Quién legisla el primero?

Integrar y remunerar son los puntos clave para los legisladores.

Las corporaciones profesionales deberán marcarse este objetivo como prioritario y los políticos sanitarios caer en la cuenta de la necesidad legal no cubierta hasta ahora.

The aim of this study was to investigate the beliefs and knowledge of secondary school teachers regarding the teaching of resuscitation, since in Spain, in the context of health education in secondary schools, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of the external defibrillator (AED) are not systematically trained, despite the fact that cardiac arrest is a very relevant health problem. The ex post facto research was carried out which 48 teachers participated. A complexity hypothesis was defined for each of the categories: conceptualization of basic life support (BLS), identification of the target population, didactic transposition, and the role of teachers. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis was performed. Only 20% of the participants considered that semiautomatic external defibrillation is a technique that must be included in the BLS and the areas of ​​knowledge of the teaching staff was related to this conception, according to the multiple regression analysis; 76.1% of the participants considered that the training should be mandatory by law (median 5, IQR 1), but it is the health professionals who should provide the training (median 5, IQR 0). In conclusion, conception expressed by teachers about BLS could be an obstacle to the development of these competencies in the classroom and, therefore, it could hinder the universalization of these techniques.

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar las creencias y conocimientos en el profesorado de secundaria sobre la enseñanza de la reanimación, ya que en España, en el contexto de la educación para la salud en secundaria, la reanimación cardiopulmonar y el uso del desfibrilador externo (DEA) no se entrenan sistemáticamente, a pesar de que la parada cardiaca es un problema de salud muy relevante. Se realizó un estudio ex post-facto, que involucró a 48 profesores. Se definió una hipótesis de complejidad para las categorías: conceptualización del soporte vital básico (SVB), identificación de la población diana, transposición didáctica y el papel del profesorado. Se realizó un análisis estadístico univariante y multivariante. Solo el 20% consideraron que la desfibrilación externa semiautomática es una técnica que ha de ser incluida en el SVB, estando relacionado con el área de conocimiento del profesorado en el análisis por regresión múltiple; el 76,1% considera que la formación debe ser obligatoria (mediana 5, IQR 1), pero son los profesionales sanitarios los que deberían impartir la formación (mediana 5, IQR 0). En conclusión, la concepción que los profesores manifestaron sobre el SVB y su enseñanza podría ser un obstáculo para el desarrollo de estas competencias y dificultar su universalización.
