Textbedömning i svenskämnet – attityder, erfarenheter och variation
Authors: Aldrin Emilia
Published: September 2024

Artikeln undersöker praktiserande svensklärares attityder och erfarenheter kring textbedömning, samt betydelsen av sociokulturella faktorer för bedömarvariation. Materialet består av en webbenkät som besvarats av 135 svensklärare i Västsverige verksamma i årskurs 7–9. Frågorna behandlade textbedömning generellt, det nya betygssystemet, samt bedömning och beskrivning av en autentisk elevtext. Resultaten visar flera goda exempel och erfarenheter, men också behov av ökad information från Skolverket på flera punkter. Vidare framkommer en påfallande bedömarvariation, som föreslås hänga samman med en stor variation i synen på textkvalitet bland deltagarna. Bedömarvariationens samspel med den sociala kontexten (läraren, dennes erfarenhet samt skolmiljön) är begränsad men visar ett intressant mönster som efterfrågar fortsatt forskning.
Text assessment in Swedish mothertongue education - attitudes, experiences and variation
The article examines practicing high school teachers' attitudes towards and experiences of assessment of pupilstexts, as well as the influence of sociocultural factors on assessment variation. The data consists of a digital survey with 135 participants who were practicing teachers in Swedish as a mother tongue in grades 7-9 at schools in western Sweden. Survey questions focused on text assessment in general, the new Swedish system for grading, as well as assessment and description of an authentic pupil text. Results highlight a number of good examples and interesting experiences regarding text assessment, but also need of extended information from SKOLVERKET. Further, the results display a notable assessment variation, which is suggested to be a result of the substantial variation in participants' view on text quality. There is limited covariation between assessment variation and social context (in terms of the teacher, his or her teaching experience and school environment), but some interesting patterns in need of further research are identified.

Weight Management Package Based on Knowledge, Attitude, Behavior, and Barriers of Obese Youth in China
Authors: Han Xiaoxiao
Published: September 2024

This study explored the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and barriers of obese adolescents in Erqi District, Zhengzhou City, China, in terms of weight loss management. The study adopted a cross-sectional design, collected data through a questionnaire survey, and used statistical analysis methods to explore the relationship between these factors and their association with socio-demographic characteristics. The study found that participants generally had misconceptions about health knowledge, had a negative attitude towards weight, rarely adopted weight-loss behaviors, and faced some barriers to health management. The study revealed a negative correlation between health knowledge and attitudes, a finding that challenges traditional ideas and suggests that simply increasing health knowledge may not be sufficient to change attitudes and behaviors. In addition, the study found that economic factors had a small effect on health-related dimensions, while BMI had a significant effect on knowledge and behavior dimensions. These findings highlight the need to consider the interaction of multiple factors when designing interventions for adolescent obesity, and to fully consider the local socio-cultural context. The results of the study provide a new perspective on understanding the problem of adolescent obesity in China, and also raise questions about current health education and intervention strategies. Future research can further explore the underlying reasons behind these findings, providing a scientific basis for the development of more effective strategies for the prevention and management of adolescent obesity.

Authors: Yang Shuhua , Li Jianbo , Zhao Xianqing , Lu Zhong , Yang Zhengyi
Published: September 2024

Herpes zoster is a skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), primarily manifesting as painful skin rashes in localized areas. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of treating herpes zoster, and the integration of modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies holds promise for further enhancing treatment efficacy. This study aims to construct an AI-based traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan by analyzing large-scale clinical data and traditional medical literature to establish individualized diagnostic models. The experimental results demonstrate that this method effectively shortens the disease course and reduces the incidence of complications. Additionally, the study reveals the mechanisms of action of various components of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment, providing a basis for further optimization of treatment plans. This innovative integration approach not only improves treatment precision but also offers a new paradigm for combined traditional and Western medicine treatment. This paper not only showcases the potential of AI in the field of traditional Chinese medicine but also provides new insights into the treatment of herpes zoster.
Evaluation Tools and Influencing Factors of Clinical Reasoning for Nursing Students
Authors: Zhao Qionglan , Dator Wireen Leila
Published: September 2024

The cultivation of clinical reasoning ability in nursing students is a hot topic of research among nursing educators worldwide. Only by fully understanding the concept of clinical reasoning, accurately assessing its level, and familiarizing themselves with its influencing factors, can nursing educators develop appropriate measures to cultivate and enhance the clinical reasoning ability of nursing students. Through literature review, this article found that there is no unified and clear concept of clinical reasoning internationally, but experts unanimously agree that the three basic conditions that should be met for conducting clinical reasoning are discipline-specific knowledge, multiple types of thinking, and reasoning skills. There are two main types of evaluation tools for nursing students' clinical reasoning ability: self-evaluation tools and peer evaluation tools. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The clinical reasoning ability of nursing students is not only influenced by their own factors such as professional knowledge, experience, and thinking patterns, but also by external factors such as teaching methods and teaching environment.

One day, she began to experience intense genital arousal that she had never experienced before. On the fourth day of arousal, while attempting intercourse with her partner, she experienced an abrupt explosive headache, which was repeated during another session of intercourse a week later. The patient underwent laboratory tests, as well as brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography, all of which showed normal findings. She was referred to a sexual medicine specialist and prescribed amitriptyline, escitalopram, and propranolol with a diagnosis of PGAD. Her sexual arousal gradually diminished, and when she stopped all medications 3 months later, all symptoms had disappeared. On further investigation, spinal MRI revealed a Tarlov cyst. She has been in remission for three years. This case illustrates the co-occurrence of PHASA and PGAD and suggests a possible common pathophysiology shared between these two rare disorders.
The Changing Sociolinguistic Identities of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites
Authors: Brown Joshua
Published: September 2024

The study of Beachy Amish-Mennonite identities is a complex endeavor. As a loosely-organized fellowship, the Beachys have no overarching governing body that dictates symbols of their Anabaptist commitment to nonconformity. Often Beachys are described as existing on a religious continuum between the Old Order Amish and Mennonites, yet defining Beachys as what they are not does not adequately establish the religious identities that Beachys negotiate for themselves. This article addresses the negotiation of sociolinguistic identities—where language and religious identities intersect—alongside cultural change for two Beachy congregations in Central Pennsylvania. The analysis, based on a theoretical framework of the negotiation of multilingual identities, shows that the interaction of language and religion within and between congregations is varied and dynamic. The Beachys—without guidelines for how to be “Beachy”—engage in a constant negotiation of religious identity, in part informed by their multilingual past and present.

Of One Divided Mind: Fundamental Causes of the Nineteenth-Century Brethren Schism, 1850-1880
Authors: Weller Daniel
Published: September 2024

Historical research involving the schism within the German Baptist Brethren Church in the 1880s has only been found within broad, general histories of the church. The explanations given by historians relating to the cause of the split have previously centered on individuals and the church publications between 1850 and 1883, and on contemporaries who argued among themselves about whether to adopt practices common among surrounding American religions and society. No known project has focused directly on the content within the publications as it relates to the way these brethren used the Bible and other religious and spiritual rhetoric to substantiate their arguments on either side. My research focused on Brethren periodicals printed between about 1850 and 1880. I selected four of the most prominent papers of the period: the Gospel Visitor, the Christian Family Companion, The Vindicator, and the Progressive Christian. Each of these periodicals contained arguments for or against adopting practices not previously accepted within the church. Within their pages I found that every argument, for or against a particular practice, was based on scriptural interpretation or other religious commentary used to persuade readers.

Review of Strangers and Pilgrims: How Mennonites Are Changing Landscapes in Latin America. (Vol. 2)—Kennert Giesbrecht
Authors: Fast Kerry
Published: September 2024

Strangers and Pilgrims is first and foremost a photo documentation of colony life of Low German-speaking Mennonites in Latin America with accompanying commentary. With volumes published in German and English, Strangers and Pilgrim’s main audience is Low German-speaking Mennonites in Latin America and their diaspora communities in Canada and the United States. It is patterned after its bilingual forbearer Gäste und Fremdlinge/Strangers and Pilgrims (1987), also published by Die Mennonitische Post, yet it has some marked differences. Volume I was almost entirely photographs with captions, whereas Volume II includes considerable amounts of text. Volume I focused on the history of colonies and Mennonite settlements in Latin America, and Strangers and Pilgrims, in Giesbrecht’s words, “provides insight into life in the newer colonies” (p. 5).

A Little More in the World: Why Amish Parents Choose to Send Their Children to Public Schools
Authors: Thalheimer Steve
Published: September 2024

In response to 20th-century industrialization, parents of the Amish tradition established parochial schools, segmenting away from an increasingly secular society. In the 1972 Wisconsin v. Yoder case, the Supreme Court codified the right of Amish parents to withdraw children from compulsory attendance after eighth grade, and many did withdraw. Yet, nearly a half century later, some Amish parents still send their children to public schools, but only limited research has explored why. This study identifies the factors that contribute to Amish families choosing to attend public schools. The researcher, doubling as the superintendent of a district in Elkhart County, IN, where one K-8 Amish-supported public school is located, conducted semi-structured interviews with 26 Old Order Amish parents randomly selected from this school. Thematic coding revealed that parents consider institutional, instructional, and social factors when deciding to send their children to public school. Amish parents do relinquish control on some issues, including no prayer or religious songs and the presence of modern music, information-communications technology, and exposure to non-Amish influences. However, on balance, the utility of learning skills and dispositions for the future makes pragmatic negotiations with the public education system worthwhile. Ultimately, parents felt that if they instill values consistent with their faith in their children at home, their children will benefit from public education, learning to navigate contemporary society, learning to think for themselves, and, ultimately, selecting to remain in their faith, dually equipped with reason and skill sets for a changing world.

‘I am just a part of the community’: Amish and Ultra-Orthodox Women and the Third Person Perception
Authors: Neriya-Ben Shahar Rivka
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on the third-person perception (TPP) of Amish and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women. TPP’s central insight is that consumers believe media influences “her/him” (the third person) much more than “me” (the first person). Since media technologies pose challenges to these women’s sense of religious devotion, their TPP toward secular media contributes to the discussion about religion, gender, and media. The study uses quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including a survey, participant observation, and interviews, to answer three research questions: (1) Do Amish and Ultra-Orthodox women have the third-person perception, reflected by their estimation that the negative influence of secular media will be greater on others than on themselves? (2) What are these women’s perceptions of secular media’s potential danger to their community, family, and themselves? (3) What can we learn when comparing women’s perceptions in these two religious settings about secular media influences? The results show that nearly all Amish and Ultra-Orthodox women perceive that secular media holds potential danger for their community, family, and themselves and that no support exists in this study to argue that these women are experiencing the TPP. Their qualitative responses reflect their perceptions about potential dangers to their community, family, and selves. The comparison addressed the two groups’ key similarity: the high perception of the media’s risks and dangers. Simultaneously, it also reveals a key difference: Amish women keep thinking about their resources—mind, soul, and time—while Ultra-Orthodox women’s responses show that they are much more familiar with popular culture.
