Published: July 2024

The use of Wordwall is essential for learning English vocabulary as an interactive and effective medium. Wordwall media can help students increase their engagement in learning vocabulary. The purpose of this research is to investigate students' perceptions of how engaged students are in learning English vocabulary using Wordwall. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. This research was carried out in one of the junior high schools located in Bima NTB, especially in grade eight. Then, three students were selected purposively to participate in the research to represent the population based on recommendations from English teachers with the criteria of being low to active in learning English. The data was collected through documentation and interviews. In the documentation, students are asked to do several activities in Wordwall regarding learning material for around 20 minutes. Then, students are asked to write about 10 new vocabularies based on the Wordwall they learned. Furthermore, interviews in the form of semi-structured interviews are related to three main aspects of student engagement by Fredricks and McColskey (2012) such as cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement. The findings in this research are that using Wordwall can help the students enrich their vocabulary (cognitive), students provide positive reactions during learning (emotional), and students actively participate during the learning process by using Wordwall (behavior).

Published: July 2024

Pressure ulcers represent a significant challenge in nursing practice and are a crucial indicator of the quality of care provided to patients. These ischemic lesions affect the skin and underlying tissues due to prolonged pressure or friction, prevailing in bedridden or wheelchair-bound patients. Prevention and proper management are essential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the economic and social burden. Preventive strategies include risk assessment, use of pressure-relieving devices, and staff education. Silicone dressings and support surfaces have been shown to be effective. Ongoing training of nursing staff is crucial to improve management and prevention, highlighting the importance of training programs that increase staff knowledge and skills.

The global incidence is significant, with 2.5 million cases annually. In Latin America, data varies, with high figures in countries such as Brazil and Chile. In Ecuador, an incidence of 3.16% is reported in some institutions. Methods: The study is descriptive and non-experimental, using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through surveys at a single point in time, applying the CPUP-31 questionnaire to 52 nurses from different institutions in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. The questionnaire, validated by experts, measures knowledge of PU prevention in 12 dimensions. Results and discussion: The majority of the participants were women (75%) between 30 and 44 years of age (46.2%), with less than one year of experience (51.9%). The 96.2% of the staff showed a high level of knowledge in PU prevention. The dimensions with the highest knowledge were local prevention (96.2%), preventive methods (94.6%) and patient education (94.2%). However, friction management presented lower knowledge (46.2%). The results indicate a good level of general knowledge about PU prevention, similar to international studies. However, areas for improvement were identified, especially in friction management. Continuous updating and training are essential to maintain high standards of care. Conclusions: Nursing staff has a good knowledge of PU prevention, but certain aspects need to be reinforced. It is recommended to implement continuous training programs to improve PU prevention and management in nursing staff.

The Vital Role of Iraqi Nurses Knowledge in Palliative Care
Authors: Hussein Abdulmohsin Dabis  , Ali Talib Hameed
Published: July 2024

Palliative care (PC) is one of the significant components of modern health care systems, a service that provides patients with the highest quality of life during the period of life-threatening illnesses. Although nurses are the main service deliverers of PC, deficits in knowledge may compromise the quality of the service they offer. At present, this cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the level of knowledge regarding PC among the Registered Nurses in Thi-Qar Governorate- Iraq so as to determine areas for educational intervention.
Study employed a cross-sectional design, and the participants were 450 nurses working in Thi-Qar governorate, Iraq in the period of October 2023 to January 2024. The researcher-developed tool used to gather information on sociodemographic and tested the domain of PC, such as symptom control, ethical issues, and communication. Data analysis was carried out using the analysis program SPSS whereby descriptive analysis in addition to multiple regression was utilized with the aim of identifying correlation in-between the demographic factors and knowledge in PC.
The study revealed a wide range of PC knowledge among participants. While nurses demonstrated relatively good understanding in areas like adjuvant therapies and bowel management for opioid use, significant knowledge gaps were evident in understanding the broader applications of PC and common misconceptions surrounding opioid use. Notably, older nurses and those without specific PC training scored significantly lower on the knowledge assessment. Conversely, nurses working in intensive care units consistently demonstrated higher knowledge levels.
These findings highlight the crucial need for targeted and ongoing PC education among Iraqi nurses. Educational interventions should address identified knowledge gaps, particularly concerning the comprehensive nature of PC and accurate information about opioid use, ultimately improving the quality of end-of-life care for patients and their families.
“Never Again”
Authors: Kumm Mattias , Orgad Liav
Published: July 2024

“Never again” is, first and foremost, a story. It’s a story about our collective fears, anxieties, and aspirations, those moments and events that we have promised ourselves that will never be repeated. The Jewish story is interwoven with the Holocaust—the killing of six million Jews in Europe and the urgency of the re-establishment of a Jewish state to solve the problem of Jewish homelessness. Yet the constitutional and international meaning of “never again” depends on one’s position and point of view, and it changes over time. The chain reaction that began with the horrors of WWII continues to drive constitutional and international agendas. It is clear that “history talks,” but in which direction?

The securitization of cyberspace has been a specter to the political studies in various countries. This article focuses on the dynamic of speech act on implementation consent and its relation to the theory of lateral pressure formulated by Nazli in studying cyber politics. Since 2018, the European Commission has implemented GDPR as a basic law related to data transfer, collection and process (TCP). This policy has brought a fundamental problem to the activity conducted by the state and private sector. Moreover, it was also criticized that this policy has brought to the discrimination of algorithm that came to bias to the minority group. In speak of Methodology, we used qualitative research of 418 articles with the keyword ‘consent’ focusing on Social and Humanities Science in Journal Sage; after manual analysis, we found 146 articles related to the consent study and social science. The final project is to find out the significant tendency of how Europe has securitized GDPR through speech acts by correlating it to the Lateral Pressure Index. The potential implications of the finding could give theoretical preference in formulating a data protection base policy.

For decades, educational-artistic research has yielded results demonstrating the importance of teaching and learning art within the school context. This article reaffirms the notion that art education is pivotal for the comprehensive development of students. Art education encompasses the teaching and learning of art without distinction between its various forms: musical, theatrical, plastic, or visual. Integrality denotes the balanced and complete development of students across all facets of life, encompassing not only academic prowess but also physical, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions, nurturing a spectrum of life skills. Access to comprehensive education is a fundamental right, yet for it to be universally attainable, society must recognize and advocate for it as such. Understanding this integrality entails acknowledging arts education as essential and indispensable for the holistic development of individuals, particularly during their school years; without it, such holistic development would be incomplete. The aesthetic experience stands out as a unique element of arts education, setting it apart from other domains of knowledge. This distinctive quality fosters the holistic development of students, contributing to their personal growth and enabling them to thrive fully and satisfactorily in society. In conclusion, this article underscores the imperative of shifting societal paradigms to facilitate a more meaningful integration of arts education into school curricula. It also encourages continued research efforts in the field of arts education.
