Published: August 2021

Background and Aim: Filarial infections can significantly impact the health of both humans and animals. In elephants, filariasis has been associated with cutaneous dermatitis and skin nodules. However, molecular evidence for such infections is limited in Thailand. This study aimed to identify the morphological and molecular characteristics of microfilaria in captive Asian elephants in Thailand.

Materials and Methods: Whole blood collected from the ear vein of 129 captive Asian elephants was hematologically analyzed, and the blood parasites were evaluated using three standard techniques: The microcapillary test, thin blood smears, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results: Conventional PCR revealed that approximately 17% (22/129) of the sampled elephants were positive for microfilaria. Microscopy revealed that microfilariae are large, unsheathed, with extended nuclei, a short headspace, and a curved tail tapering at the end. Results of internal transcribed spacer region analysis show that the elephant microfilariae are closely related to Onchocerca spp. All of the elephants positive for microfilaria presented with neither skin lesion nor anemic signs. Microfilaria infection was not associated with age; however, microfilariae were more likely to be detected in male elephants due to differences in management systems.

Conclusion: This is the first study to provide both morphological and molecular evidence of microfilaria in Thai elephants. There is an urgent need to investigate the long-term and large-scale effects of microfilaria on the health of elephants.

Published: August 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a global effect, causing psychological distress for many people. This researchaims to determine the relationship between optimism and psychological distress among first-year students duringthe Covid-19 pandemic. This research performed using the quantitative method with non-probability samplingapplied with a quota sampling technique and obtained a sample of 100 first-year students at Universitas HangTuah (UHT). Optimism was measured using Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) developed by Scheier,Carver, and Bridges. Psychological distress was measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10)developed by Kessler and Mroczek. The results of the data analysis using Spearman Rank-order showed acorrelation coefficient (rs) of -.395 with a value of p = .000 (p < .01). This demonstrates that there is a negativerelationship between optimism and psychological distress among first-year students during the Covid-19pandemic. The results also reveal that the majority in the level of optimism and psychological distress amongfirst-year students of UHT is in the high category.

Published: August 2021

Misconception in psychology is a belief that is broadly contradicting to scientific evidence and is particularlycommon in the field of psychology. It is important to study misconceptions in psychology considering thecontribution of the effort to provide education or to demonstrate rejection of fallacies of popular ideas/themes.Misconceptions in psychology relates to critical thinking as well as the executive function (EF) that controls andregulates cognitive processes. This research aims to determine the role of critical thinking and EF (cognitiveflexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control) with misconceptions in psychology. This study used non-experimental methods, using test (paper and pencil) and PEBL/ Psychology Experiment Building Language(computerized). The sampling technique used was convenience sampling. The subjects in this study were 153psychology students, consisting of 105 students from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and 48 students fromUniversitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY). Instruments that were used for data collection were the misconception inpsychology test, critical thinking test, Wisconsin/Berg Card Sorting Test (WCST/BCST), Backward Digit Span,and Stroop Test. There is no correlation between cognitive flexibility and misconceptions in psychology, socognitive flexibility is not included in the calculation of hierarchical regression analysis. Based on the results ofhierarchical regression analysis, it can be concluded that the role of inhibitory control on psychologicalmisconceptions is 11.4%, ΔR2 = .114; b* = .33; t(149) = 4.52, p < .001; the role of working memory is 3%, ΔR2 =.030; b* = -.16; t(149) = -2.19, p = .03; and the role of critical thinking is 2.6%, ΔR2 = .026; b* = -.19; t(149) = -2.53, p = .01.

Published: August 2021

This study aims to explore the effect of Leadership Self-Efficacy (LSE), Past Leadership Experience (PLE),Organizational Identification (OI), and Perceived Job Stress as an Academic Leader (PJSAL) on AffectiveIdentity-Motivation to Lead (AI-MTL) of lecturers at the X University simultaneously. This study also aims toexplore the role of LSE in mediating relationship between PLE and AI-MTL as well as between PJSAL and AI-MTL. A total of 125 X University lecturers participated in this study (male: 53, female: 72; age range between26-71 years old), with data collected through an online questionnaire. Data analysis then was performed using theHierarchical Multiple Regression and Mediation Analysis. The result shows that there is a simultaneous effect ofLSE, PLE, OI, and PJSAL, in predicting AI-MTL of lecturers at the X University, F(4, 120) = 63.520, p < .001.All variables can explain 67.9% of the AI-MTL variation, R2 = .679. Meanwhile, PJSAL does not provide anymeaningful contribution to the AI-MTL variation. In addition, this study also confirms the role of LSE inmediating the relationship between PLE and AI-MTL partially, c’ = 1.0508, p < .001, and fully mediating therelationship between PJSAL and AI-MTL, c’ = -.006, p > .05. These results emphasize the strong need to identifytalents by using those factors, especially when universities have difficulty in finding their prospective leaders.

Quality of life (QOL) and subjective well-being (SWB) among college students have been deemed as importantissues in studies. The present study aims to explore any influential elements of gender and age to their QOL andSWB, and to know if the QOL is influential to the SWB. Participants amounted to 651 respondents totally fromthree Indonesian universities (Diponegoro University, Padjajaran University, North Sumatra University) wereinvolved in a purposive sampling using two instruments, i.e., the Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A) tomeasure SWO and The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) to measure QOL.Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) test was used in the analysis. The results showed that age and gender had asignificant effect on SWB (respectively .11 & .040, with p < .05) but had no effect on QOL of students(respectively .510 & .751, with p < .05). In addition, QOL was shown to affect SWB (p < .05). As a result,counselors and stakeholders on campus are encouraged to consider age and sex factors in their attempts ofincreasing college students’ SWB. However, further research is still suggestible to explore more complex factorsin college students’ QOL, which can include social, individual, and other demographic factors.

Authors: Haryono Fadhilah Siti Aniisah , Pramitasari Diananta
Published: August 2021

Work From Home (WFH) menjadi strategi untuk menekan penyebaran dan pencegahan Covid-19. WFH selama pandemi Covid-19 ini mengakibatkan orang menghabiskan waktu di rumah, termasuk untuk bekerja, sementara tidak semua rumah memiliki ruang khusus untuk bekerja/belajar. Hal ini dapat berpengaruh pada perubahan psikologis, misalnya orang bisa menjadi lebih sensitif saat bekerja. Salah satu cara untuk mendukung kegiatan WFH adalah dengan memilih dan memodifikasi ruang yang digunakan untuk bekerja. Penelitian ini meneliti modifikasi yang dilakukan selama WFH melalui kuesioner online. Tujuannya untuk mengetahui kondisi ruang yang sesuai untuk bekerja selama WFH dari modifikasi yang dilakukan. Dari modifikasi ini, bisa terlihat apa yang paling banyak diperlukan oleh penggunanya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebanyakan responden melakukan modifikasi pada aspek fungsi dan area, tapi sedikit pada kondisi lingkungan. Hal ini didasarkan pada kondisi sebelumnya, sehingga diketahui bahwa ruang yang sesuai adalah yang memiliki area bekerja/belajar dengan objek bekerja/belajar fungsional, serta tetap didukung kondisi lingungan.

Worlding Excavation Practices
Authors: Pijpers Kevin
Published: August 2021

This paper seeks to do justice to the often complex, messy, and sometimes ambiguous meaning making practices of archaeological field work. Taking recent adoptions of assemblage theory and sensory studies in archaeology as an angle of arrival, I contribute here to discussions on self-reflective and interpretive archaeology. Drawing on empirical encounters with troweling and backfilling at the Ardnamurchan Transitions Project in western Scotland, I describe the production of archaeological knowledge in terms of storying: the coming into existence of an earthly archaeological world through sensory correspondences. I show how storying generates meaning and knowledge through correspondences of more proximate with more distant excavation practices and interplays between them. Furthermore, I propose that through storying, archaeological meaning making as well as knowledge production can be understood as worlding: the generation of sustained remembrances of earthly events with lively corresponding materials.
Evaluating the use of human aware navigation in industrial robot arms
Authors: Story Matthew , Jaksic Cyril , Fletcher Sarah R. , Webb Philip , Tang Gilbert , Carberry Jonathan
Published: August 2021

Although the principles followed by modern standards for interaction between humans and robots follow the First Law of Robotics popularized in science fiction in the 1960s, the current standards regulating the interaction between humans and robots emphasize the importance of physical safety. However, they are less developed in another key dimension: psychological safety. As sales of industrial robots have been increasing over recent years, so has the frequency of human–robot interaction (HRI). The present article looks at the current safety guidelines for HRI in an industrial setting and assesses their suitability. This article then presents a means to improve current standards utilizing lessons learned from studies into human aware navigation (HAN), which has seen increasing use in mobile robotics. This article highlights limitations in current research, where the relationships established in mobile robotics have not been carried over to industrial robot arms. To understand this, it is necessary to focus less on how a robot arm avoids humans and more on how humans react when a robot is within the same space. Currently, the safety guidelines are behind the technological advance, however, with further studies aimed at understanding HRI and applying it to newly developed path finding and obstacle avoidance methods, science fiction can become science fact.
Color measurement
Authors: Cramer Werner Rudolf
Published: August 2021

Our color perception is characterized by subjective influences. Color measurement enables an objective description of colors. In this process, white light is sent onto a color sample and the reflected rays are measured as a percentage compared to a white standard. The physiological standard color values are first calculated from the physical measured values by standardized conversions. From these, the L*a*b* values can be determined as they are given by the CIE (Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage). While one geometry is sufficient for color pigments to describe them, several defined geometries are required for aluminum and interference pigments. These geometries (illumination and observation angles) are specified for the different measuring instruments.
The Effects of Country-Image and Animosity on Asian Consumers’ Responses to Foreign Brands
Authors: Park Jeongsoo , Zourrig Haithem , El Hedhli Kamel
Published: August 2021

This study investigates the effects of country image and animosity on brand quality evaluation and purchasing intention among Asian consumers. Data was collected from Chinese (n = 540) and South Korean (n = 360) consumers. Two brands Sony and Dell, originating from countries-target of animosity, respectively Japan and the US, were designated as foreign brands. The model was empirically tested with structural equation modeling. The results highlight the key role of the country image-brand quality association to leverage the purchase intention, in a context of animosity. Although the country image of both US and Japan is negatively affected by Chinese and South Korean animosities, it would still impact positively the evaluation of the quality of their respective brands, which would, in turn, increase the purchase intention. In particular, the results show that Japan’s country image would have an indirect (i.e. through the brand quality path) and direct effects on the purchase intention, however, “the US country image has only an indirect effect on the purchase intention”. Herein, Chinese and South Korean consumers would not buy US brands per se unless the country’s image relates to the argument of brand quality.

Published: August 2021

Objectives

The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of participants in non-pharmacological group-based treatments delivered as part of a randomised controlled trial at Norwegian tertiary care pain centres.

Methods

Individual semi-structured interviews with 15 persons were conducted. The data were analysed with a descriptive thematic cross-case analysis based on the method of systematic text condensation.

Results

All participants talked about some aspects of the group-based treatments as a positive experience, but mainly the outcome was in line with their expectations; they hoped it would reduce their pain but did not expect it. There were no clear-cut differences in the experiences between the participants from the two different intervention groups. The content was experienced as both relevant and interesting but also to introduce concepts that were difficult to grasp and understand. Similarly, the experiences of participating in a group-based treatment were mostly stimulating but could also be challenging because of an expectancy of sharing personal stories. Although experiencing few changes to their pain they came away with techniques and lessons that were valuable to them.

Conclusions

In this study, taking part in group-based treatment was perceived as giving positive and valuable lessons, due to relevant content and learning from the professionals and fellow participants, but without any clear indication of reduced pain.

Published: August 2021

With the development of foam concrete production technology, its usage area is increasing day by day. In this study, foam concrete was produced by using electrolyzed water to solve the problem of setting and low early-age strength, especially in low-density foam concrete production. According to obtained results, with the use of electrolyzed water technology in the production of foam concrete, the thermal conductivity coefficient decreased and the strength at early ages increased. Thus, foam concrete production will be made more rapidly.
Numerical experimental comparison of mudflow by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)
Authors: Bokharaeian Mahsa , Naderi Reza , Csámer Árpád
Published: August 2021

Flow-like landslides are a serious geologic hazard that can cause life and property loss all over the world. Mudflow is a kind of debris flow that has been classified as a non-Newtonian flow. The Smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) is a powerful tool for modeling fluids, such as debris/mudflows, which can be described in terms of local interactions of their constituent parts. In this paper, the Herschel-Buckley rheology model and SPH are used to simulate free-surface mudflow under the gate. The run-out distance and velocity of mudflow during the time are calculated with numerical simulation and compared with the laboratory result. Our results indicate the rate of increase of run-out and viscosity in the computer model is more than the experimental model and it is because of friction that is assumed to be zero. In the computer simulation, friction is exactly zero but in the experimental model, it could be measured and assumed zero. Finally, Abacus had a good result and can be used for mudflow simulation and protection of run-out distance and viscosity.

Authors: Grigor’ev A. М. , Grigorovich K. V. , Em А. Yu. , Morozov A. O.
Published: August 2021

The rail steel properties are adversely affected by rigid non-metallic inclusions, containing aluminum oxides. Therefore, aluminum content is limited to 0.004 % wt. in rail steel grades. Aluminum can get into steel from charge materials and refractory lining. In this work, we’ve analyzed how the chemical composition of refractories used in rail steel making influence steel quality on example of one domestic enterprise. To determine the main types of non-metallic inclusions created in E76F rail steels, we have performed fractional gas analysis of the samples taken in various process steps. It was found that the slag composition after degassing changes insignificantly, while the most part of non-metallic inclusions in rail steel is represented by aluminates.

Published: August 2021

One of the applications of construction low-carbon 22K steel (AISI 1022 type) is as a material for the vessel of a core catcher (CC) for nuclear power plants with VVER reactors. In the event of severe beyond design basis accident, the CC-vessel will be under conditions of prolonged hightemperature impacts, which can significantly change the structural state and lead to degradation of mechanical properties of the vessel material. Data on the effect of such actions on the mechanical properties and fracture resistance of welds (the properties of which usually differ from those of the base metal) from low-carbon steels are very limited in the literature. This makes it difficult to guarantee the reliability and safety prediction of CC. The purpose of this work was to carry out the comparative Charpy V-notch impact tests of the samples of base metal and weld metal of the 22K steel welded joint before and after long-term high-temperature heat treatment, simulating the thermal effect on the reactor vessel material of nuclear power plants during severe accidents. Welded joints of 22K steel sheets were obtained by the method of automatic argon-arc welding with a consumable electrode (welding wire SV-08G2S was used) in accordance with PNAE G-7-009–89. Based on the test results, the ductile–brittle transition curves were plotted and analysis of fracture surfaces after tests was carried out. The influence of structural factors on the impact toughness has been studied. It is shown that prolonged high-temperature exposure leads to an increase in the temperatures of beginning and end of the ductile-brittle transition by 30 – 50 °C and to the expansion of range of the ductile-brittle transition temperature by 15 – 25 °C of both base metal and weld metal of the welded joint.
Strip cooling control for flexible production of galvanized flat steel
Authors: Ryabchikov M. Yu. , Ryabchikova E. S. , Shmanev D. E. , Kokorin I. D.
Published: August 2021

The work is devoted to the problem of flexible small-scale production of galvanized steel of various sizes on a continuous hot-dip galvanizing unit with varying productivity. The main focus is on the heat treatment of steel strip, the requirements for which limit productivity. In conditions of disturbances, it is necessary to proactively control the heat treatment using models, or to reduce the speed of the strip to ensure that the requirements are met. Unlike most of the works that focus on heat control, this work focuses on strip cooling. Based on the analysis of production data of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, it is shown that violation of the cooling requirements leads to the appearance of defects in the zinc coating. Dependence of the probability of defects occurrence on the strip temperature is given. Problems of cooling predictive control are formulated using models in the absence of temperature control of the cooling section cavity. For each of the tasks, the model structure and the method of its tuning are determined according to the data accumulated over a significant period of the unit operation under conditions of uncontrolled systematic disturbances. The structure of the cooling control system is proposed by estimation of the cooling section cavity temperature as a controlled variable. The temperature estimate is determined from the model. The lack of measurement of the cooling section cavity temperature is not a problem then varying productivity. The results of the models tuning are presented according to the data of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works continuous hot-dip galvanizing unit. The proposed structures of the models and methods for their adjustment can be applied in the development of models for metal heating in furnaces.
Visualizing species richness and site similarity from presence-absence matrices
Authors: Soberón Jorge , Cobos Marlon , Nuñez-Penichet Claudia
Published: August 2021

Species richness and similarity of biotas among distinct sites are important quantities in biogeography. Indices derived from presence-absence matrices are used to represent these quantities in so-called diversity-range plots.  The most commonly used diversity-range plot, however, has multiple special cases and its interpretation is cumbersome. Here we present an equivalent formulation that is geometrically simpler and has no special cases. In addition, we introduce a method to identify the statistical significance of the dispersion field, an index that represents how similar species composition is in a cell with respect to the whole area. The new diversity-range plot is a promising tool to explore biodiversity and endemism in a region as the values shown in this plot and whether they are statistically significant or not can also be represented in geography.
Global land-use and land-cover data for ecologists: Historical, current, and future scenarios
Authors: Rocha Tainá , M Vale Mariana , S. Lima-Ribeiro Matheus
Published: August 2021

Land-use land-cover (LULC) data are important predictors of species occurrence and biodiversity threat. Although there are LULC datasets available for ecologists under current conditions, there is a lack of such data under historical and future climatic conditions. This hinders, for example, projecting niche and distribution models under global change scenarios at different times. The Land Use Harmonization Project (LUH2) is a global terrestrial dataset at 0.25o spatial resolution that provides LULC data from 850 to 2300 for 12 LULC state classes. The dataset, however, is compressed in a file format (NetCDF) that is incompatible with most ecological analysis and intractable for most ecologists. Here we selected and transformed the LUH2 data in order to make it more useful for ecological studies. We provide LULC for every year from 850 to 2100, with data from 2015 on provided under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2 and SSP5). We provide two types of file for each year: separate files with continuous values for each of the 12 LULC state classes, and a single categorical file with all state classes combined. To create the categorical layer, we assigned the state with the highest value in a given pixel among the 12 continuous data. The final dataset provides LULC data for 1251 years that will be of interest for macroecology, ecological niche modeling, global change analysis, and other applications in ecology and conservation. We also provide a description of LUH2 prediction of future LULC change through time.

Education aux risques dans le curriculum tunisien des SVT
Authors: Hrairi Sameh , Dhib Imen
Published: August 2021

L’objet de cette recherche est de comprendre la contribution du curriculum tunisien de la biologie dans l’éducation aux risques des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST) auprès des enseignants et des élèves. Il s’agit d’analyser la place accordée à l’éducation aux risques des IST au sein du curriculum potentiel et prescrit tunisien. Les pratiques déclarées des enseignants et les conceptions des élèves sur l’éducation aux risques des IST ont été également interrogées. Le recueil de données, par questionnaire, mené auprès de 53 enseignants de biologie de collège et 93 élèves, âgés de 14 à 17 ans, montre un écart entre les attentes des élèves et les visées de leurs enseignants quant à l’éducation aux risques des IST. Les pratiques déclarées des enseignants restent limitées à l’apport notionnel alors que les attentes de leurs élèves relèvent plus d’ordres social et psychologique. Un surdimensionnement de l’aspect biomédical dans les curriculums est également identifié avec un besoin de formation fortement exprimé par les enseignants.
Quelle éthique pour l’éducation et la prévention en santé ?
Authors: Roelens Camille
Published: August 2021

L’objet de cet article, s’inscrivant dans l’axe 1 (« Théories et modèles mobilisés ») de l’appel à contribution du présent numéro, est de tenter de cerner ce que pourrait être, du point de vue de l’éducation et de la prévention en santé, une prise en compte des enjeux d’égalité, de citoyenneté et de solidarité éthiquement compatible avec un positionnement individualiste, libéral et faisant de l’autonomie individuelle le but de l’éducation. Ce travail intellectuel mobilise la philosophie politique de l’éducation et l’interrogation éthique, dans le cadre d’une approche argumentative, mobilisant la discussion critique des concepts et des auteurs. La première partie de l’article permet d’affiner la problématisation susmentionnée en discutant les notions d’égalité, de citoyenneté et de solidarité. La deuxième partie de l’article examine les compatibilités respectives de trois types d’éthiques normatives (déontologisme, vertuisme, conséquentialisme) avec les exigences ainsi soulevées, ainsi que l’apport possible à la réflexion des éthiques du care. Ce cheminement conduit à considérer en conclusion l’apport possible du minimalisme moral (ou éthique minimale) pour envisager les conditions de possibilités de l’exercice de l’autorité par le praticien de l’éducation et prévention en santé.
La transition juvénile des jeunes à besoins éducatifs particuliers
Authors: Ebersold Serge
Published: August 2021

La surexposition des jeunes à la vulnérabilité sociale trouve, pour partie sa source, dans une déritualisation du passage à l’âge adulte qui subordonne leurs trajectoires post scolaires à leur sens de l’expérimentation et à leur aptitude à être les auteurs de leur devenir. Par-delà l’entrée sur le marché du travail ou dans l’enseignement supérieur, la transition juvénile s’en trouve assujettie à la valeur transitionnelle des pratiques scolaires et des soutiens proposés au cours de la scolarité et à son issue. Sa prise en compte est particulièrement importante pour les jeunes ayant un besoin éducatif particulier (BEP) qui sont non seulement surexposés au chômage, notamment de longue durée, mais aussi aux disqualifications et aux formes de vulnérabilités induites par des identités situationnelles. A partir d’une enquête menée en France auprès de 293 lycéens à BEP, complétée par des entretiens semi-directifs, cet article rapporte les trajectoires post scolaires à la valeur transitionnelle des stratégies d’accompagnement dont attestent, entres autres, les synergies créées pour conjuguer les dimensions relevant de l’accessibilité et celles renvoyant à la compensation des implications sociales de la déficience, de l’effet d’affiliation de l’emploi exercée, ainsi que le capital identitaire acquis par les intéressés.
L’inclusion des élèves dyspraxiques dans le milieu scolaire : perception de parents d’élèves
Authors: Sama Traoré Rénatou , Vincent Béatrice , Lecoeuvre Caroline , Gallet Virginie
Published: August 2021

La dyspraxie est un trouble de l’exécution des gestes. Induite par un dysfonctionnement des processus de planification et/ou de programmation des mouvements, elle génère des difficultés de coordination souvent en association avec des comorbidités plus ou moins intriquées (dysgraphie, dyscalculie, dysorthographie, dyslexie…). En réponse aux troubles des apprentissages suscités, affectant la réussite scolaire et les activités de la vie quotidienne (AVQ) des personnes concernées, en France, la Loi du 22 février 2005 a prescrit des aménagements compensatoires. Cette étude se propose d’évaluer l’inclusion réellement pratiquée, dans le milieu scolaire, au regard de l’inclusion prescrite. La méthodologie du « récit de vie » a permis de recueillir, à l’échelle nationale, la perception de 29 parents à la fois du vécu de leurs enfants dyspraxiques, en milieu scolaire, et de la mise en application réelle des aménagements préconisés. Les résultats obtenus convergent vers un besoin de sensibilisation, de formation et d’information des équipes enseignantes comme amorce de la mise en œuvre des aménagements recommandés.

On se demande ici dans quelle mesure la bienveillance et l’exigence des enseignants peuvent favoriser une dynamique inclusive pour des élèves en situation de handicap, plus généralement pour celles et ceux qui ont des besoins éducatifs particuliers (BEP), et comment elles s’articulent. Une fois précisé le sens des notions en jeu, la méthodologie retenue pour identifier des catégories de manifestations de bienveillance et d’exigence est présentée. Il s’agit d’une analyse de contenu thématique des propos de professeurs d’éducation physique et sportive intervenant dans des classes ordinaires qui accueillent des élèves à BEP. La bienveillance et l’exigence étant considérées comme deux dimensions de l’activité professionnelle des enseignants, il est procédé à une analyse de leurs propos sous cet angle, en référence aux travaux de Bucheton et Soulé (2009). Elle aboutit à distinguer huit types de manifestation. Ce sont ensuite leurs conditions de possibilité qui sont envisagées, en termes d’attention à la diversité des élèves et d’actualisation de principes éthiques, puis leurs relations. Il en ressort le constat d’une fréquente intrication entre bienveillance et exigence. Au final, il apparaît que les deux attitudes étudiées ont pu contribuer à une dynamique inclusive et que la complexité du travail enseignant invite à réfléchir sur la formation des professeurs.
La communication des réseaux sociaux des adolescents : une domination de soi ?
Authors: Guiet-Silvain Jeanne
Published: August 2021

Les réseaux sociaux révolutionnent les foyers et engagent une dynamique réelle de nouvelles relations chez les adolescents. La culture numérique de ces derniers et leurs échanges communicationnels situés hors du regard des parents contribuent à former l’épicentre de leurs centres d’intérêt. A partir de 92 entretiens menés auprès d’adolescents âgés de 14 à 17 ans en Ile de France, nous avons mené une analyse thématique qui nous a permis de catégoriser les échanges les plus fréquents et d’identifier les conceptions dominantes. Traversant une période intense de socialisation, la profusion des relations des adolescents contribue à façonner leur identité, suivant des tonalités relatives et divers centres d’intérêt que nous avons identifiés. Cette recherche interroge ainsi les relations engagées dans les pratiques des sphères communicationnelles et ludiques de certains réseaux sociaux. Quel contrôle de la distance relationnelle est engagé dans une audience imagée où l’intime suppose de se dévoiler sous l’acquiescement des autres ? Quel bénéfice l’adolescent accorde-t-il à ce nouveau lien social inscrit dans ces relations horizontales entre pairs ?

Risk of pregnancy complications in living kidney donors: a meta-analysis v1
Authors: Bellos Ioannis
Published: August 2021

Living kidney donation is growing, especially among young women. However, the risk of subsequent pregnancy complications remain unclear. The present meta-analysis aims to clarify whether kidney donation is linked to higher rates of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, low birthweight or fetal death. Current literature will be gathered and pooled, while the quality of evidence will be appraised.

Introduction. Radical surgical resections in the treatment of malignant tumors of the spine have proven effective in improving both overall and disease-free survival of patients. Indications for such interventions are primary malignant tumors of the spine, primary benign tumors with aggressive growth, and solitary metastatic lesions in patients with a favorable oncological prognosis. Due to the anatomical features of the vertebral column, it is very difficult to perform radical resections. An even more difficult task is to perform such interventions for multilevel spinal lesions.

The study objective is to evaluate the results of radical surgical treatment for multilevel tumor lesions of the spine.

Materials and methods. From 2004 to 2019, in the department of spine surgery of the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology treated 36 patients with spinal tumors, who underwent multilevel radical resections. The analysis of this surgical treatment of patients with multilevel neoplastic lesions of the spine was carried out.

Results. Performing radical surgical interventions on the spine makes it possible to reduce the frequency of local relapses, improve functional results and overall survival of patients. After performing multilevel resections, complications often occur.

Chordomas of the sacrococcygeal region account for more than 50 % of all sacral tumors. These malignant neoplasms grow slowly and are asymptomatic for a long time. As a result, chordomas often reach large sizes and affect the neurovascular structures of the sacrum and pelvic organs. The use ofen-bloc resection allows to increase survival rates and reduce the risk of progression. However, this method of chord treatment is difficult for surgeons and in most cases, after surgery, the quality of life of patients decreases. The improvement of imaging methods, the success of oncological orthopedics and radiation therapy allow performing radical organ-preserving operations. In this article, we will consider the modern concept of treatment with a sacrococcygeal chord.
Primary Ewing sarcoma of the sphenoid bone with infrasellar spread in a 17-year-old patient: case report and literature review

Published: August 2021

We performed retrospective analysis of publications describing cases of Ewing sarcoma of the skull base with exceedingly rare locations (including the area of the sphenoid bone, its wings, sinus, and adjacent structures). Ewing sarcoma is usually diagnosed in children. The peak incidence is registered in patients aged 10–15 years, whereas adults and children under 5 years of age are very unlikely to develop this disease. In this article, we also report a case of Ewing sarcoma of the skull bones affecting the sphenoid bone and sphenoid sinus. The patient has undergone surgery followed by chemoradiotherapy. High invasion potential (tumor spread in several directions), high malignancy, and compression of the adjacent structures of the brain make the analysis of Ewing sarcoma located in areas that cannot be easily approached particularly interesting for neurosurgeons, since surgery is the main treatment option for such patients.

Background. Retinoblastoma is a malignant intraocular tumor developing from the retinal neuroectoderm and diagnosed primarily in young children. This type of cancer is associated with a high risk of multiple primary tumors emerging after treatment completion. Multiple primary tumors are two or more independent tumors developing in one patient. Treatment of this disease is challenging.

Objective – to evaluate the impact of risk factors on the efficacy of therapy for multiple primary tumors and to analyze treatment outcomes.

Materials and methods. A 2-year-old boy was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma (OD – stage T3bN0M0 and OS – stage T3cN0M0). He received special treatment from September 2005 to November 2006. In 2012, the patient underwent cataract surgery: the lens was removed, then an intraocular lens was installed, and laser dissection of the posterior capsule of the lens was performed. Six years later, in August 2018, the patient was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The boy received combination organ-sparing therapy according to the EURAMOS-1 treatment protocol for osteosarcoma. During therapy, he developed a secondary tumor, namely osteoblastic osteosarcoma. Both the boy and his father were found to have a mutation in the RB1 gene.

Results. Currently, patient’s condition is satisfactory; he has no complains. The boy is in remission for 2 years.

Conclusion. The development of secondary tumors depends on the genetic factors, type of treatment for primary tumor, and environmental factors. Therefore, it is extremely important to assess risk factors for multiple primary tumors at the moment of primary retinoblastoma detection. The results of such assessment will help to choose an optimal treatment strategy.

In this study we analyzed the quality of life in 62 patients (35.5 % of men and 64.5 % of women; mean age 55 years) who had tumor lesions in different parts of the spine and were treated in the Department of Vertebral Surgery, N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center, Ministry of Health of Russia. We assessed the association between the quality of life and psychological characteristics of patients – coping strategies and personal resources. We used a general questionnaire for assessing patients’ quality of life (The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Items Health Survey) and special questionnaires for cancer patients (Quality of Life Questionnaire – Core 30, QLQ-C30), patients with tumor lesions to the spine (Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire, SOSG OQ), and psychodiagnostic methods, such as Ways of Coping, Big Five, and Life-meaning Orientations. We have identified an association between the quality of life and all parameters of psychodiagnostic questionnaires, better quality of life correlated with more pronounced psychological characteristics reflecting the maturity of the individual (internality, activity, presence of meaningful goals, ability to seek social support, etc.). Lower personal maturity and poorer constructive coping strategies were associated with worse somatic symptoms and their impact on the quality of life.
English Language Preservice Teachers’ Stages of Concern for Web 2.0 Technology Integration
Authors: KAYADUMAN Halil , DELİALİOĞLU Ömer
Published: August 2021

This study explores the English Language preservice teachers (PST)’ stages of concern (SoC) for Web 2.0 technology integration in the Learning Technology by Design (LBD) based course. It aims to identify and better understand PSTs’ concerns. Understanding the concerns has advantages of describing and addressing the needs of PSTs prior to actual in-service experiences. SoC model, a component of the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, was used as the theoretical framework. An embedded mixed methods design was implemented, which included 24 English language PSTs. The PSTs attended a semester-long course in which they were involved in LBD activities that included Web 2.0 technologies. While the quantitative data were collected through the SoC questionnaire, the qualitative data were gathered from the focus group and individual interviews. According to the findings, the PSTs improved their knowledge and skills regarding Web 2.0 technology integration and increased the Consequence stage’s intensity significantly. Namely, the PSTs gained an understanding of how to design technology-integrated lesson activities that can promote learning. The findings further identified that the Unconcerned, Informational, and Personal stages’ intensities remained predominant and unchanged over the semester. Recommendations for addressing the PSTs’ concerns include: integrating LBD activities into the English language teaching curriculum and reinforcing the LBD activities with modeling, mentoring, or teaching practices to assure PSTs’ commitments for technology integration.
