Authors: Kochetova T. Yu. , Krylov V. V. , Ivanov S. A. , Kaprin A. D.
Published: January 2025

177Lu-PSMA-617 is a new therapy option for PSMA-positive metastatic castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC) with proven efficacy. 225Ac-PCMA-617 is an alpha emitter, making this drug potentially more powerful. Despite the active use of 225Ac-PSMA-617 worldwide, no randomized phase III studies have yet been conducted. The present prospective cohort study presents the experience of 225Ac-PSMA-617 use in the A.F. Tsyb MRRC. Material and Methods. the study included mCRPC patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) overexpression confirmed by PET-CT or SPECT-CT, who received the first course of therapy in 2023. Results. Forty three patients received 1 to 6 (median 2) administrations of 225Ac-PSMA-617, 26 (60 %) of these patients had a history of 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy, 13 (30 %) had a history of radium chloride [223Ra] therapy, and 10 (23 %) patients had no history of chemotherapy. Five (12 %) had liver metastases at the time of inclusion in the study. PSA reduction of more than 50 % was recorded in 55 % of patients, with biochemical response significantly more frequent in the PSMA-naïve group, 63 % vs 35 %; the number of adverse events was also lower in this group. But no advantage in overall survival (OS) in PSMA-naïve patients was revealed at the present time. Favorable prognosis factors included a history of radium chloride [223Ra] therapy; in contrast, liver metastasis was a negative prognostic factor. the study found no differences in OS among taxane-naïve patients and patients with a history of 1–2 lines of chemotherapy. Continued therapy with androgen receptor targeted agents after initiation of 225Ac-PSMA-617 treatment also showed no effect on OS. Conclusions. 225Ac-PCMA-617 may be effective in 177Lu-PCMa resistance, but there are no data on the increase in overall patient survival when 225Ac-PCMA-617 is administered as first-line radioligand therapy.

Introduction. In the development of new methods of radiotherapy, studies of the biological effects of sparsely (photons, electrons) and densely (protons, ions) ionizing radiation are relevant. Reproducibility is a challenge in preclinical studies. Dosimetric phantoms of laboratory animals are an effective tool for dose assessment, facilitating standardization of tests conducted under different conditions. existing phantoms often fail to address radiobiological issues like placing of biological samples or dosimetry detectors. A method for manufacturing dosimetric phantoms must be developed to accurately manufacturing products and modify their design in accordance with the task. Aim. This study develops a numerical model to simulate the interaction of photon, electron and proton therapeutic beams with 3D-printed PLA plastic samples and to determine the optimal 3D printing parameters for imitating soft tissues. Material and Methods. Fused filament fabrication proposed as effective means of creating such devices, given that the majority of polymers exhibit properties closely aligned with those of biological tissues, are employed in the manufacture of standard phantoms. A major advantage of 3D printing is the ability to make items with different specifications. Numerical simulation was employed to investigate the interaction of PLA plastic with an ionizing radiation used in radiotherapy. Results. the calculated depth dose distributions of different types of radiation in soft tissues and PLA plastic of varying densities were obtained. It was demonstrated that for adipose imitation using photons and electrons, it is necessary to utilise PLA plastic 3D-printed samples with a density of 0.91 g/cm³ (fill factor of 75 %); for muscle – 1.06 g/ cm³ (fill factor of 88 %). For proton and carbon ion, the density of PLA plastic samples for adipose imitation was determined to be 0.97 g/cm³ (fill factor of 80 %); for muscle – 1.11 g/cm³ (fill factor of 93 %). Conclusion. The study demonstrates that the interaction of PLA plastic with rarely and densely ionizing radiation may be differed. This is a crucial consideration when planning experiments using solid-state dosimetric phantoms.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. According to global data, gastric cancer (GC) is the 5-th most common malignancy with a high cancer-related mortality rate. However, in recent decades, there has been a tendency towards an increase in the incidence of GC among young patients (18 to 40 years old), which currently amounts to 4.4–9.8%. Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical, combined and palliative treatment options in early-onset GC. Material and Methods. the study included 129 patients aged 18–45 years, who underwent radical, cytoreductive and palliative surgery with or without combination with drug therapy for localized, locally-advanced and primary disseminated GC. the patients were divided into three clinical groups: 1) the surgical group (n=27) included patients with only surgical treatment; 2) the group of combined treatment (n= 58) included patients with PCI <7 who underwent surgery with the volume of CC0 in combination with CT (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, perioperative, simultaneously with or without hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and patients who underwent only HIPEC; 3) the additional (palliative) group (n=44) included patients with PCI>7 who underwent systemic CT in combination with pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). Results. the median overall survival (OS) in three groups was 58, 30 and 13 months, respectively. In patients with IV stage of disease who underwent HIPEC with CC0 surgery, OS in the 2nd group was 17 in comparison with 13 months in the third group (PIPEC). Conclusion. Aggressive multimodal treatment in the absence of comorbid status in young patients will allow for intensification of both the perioperative drug therapy component and the implementation of extended multivisceral resections that facilitate radical surgical treatment to improve both DFS and OS.

Published: January 2025

Operation of vessels sailing along the Northern Sea Route is associated with numerous risks that determine increased requirements for the reliability of the propulsion system. In this regard, it is important to use ship electrical networks based on the distribution of direct current (DC) electricity, the operation of which provides a number of advantages in comparison with AC distribution systems. Conducting technical control of imported ship equipment due to the lack of information received from foreign manufacturers is an urgent need. Using the example of a propulsion electric plant with Azipod-type equipment, methods for assessing the technical condition of the propulsion electric motor, protecting the shaft from parasitic voltages and currents that can accelerate the destruction of bearings have been described. Methods for troubleshooting semiconductor elements included in the frequency converter have been considered. Probable errors in the operation of the nacelle position monitoring system have been presented. The possibilities of remote assessment of the technical condition of the system have been determined. The aim of the work is to develop stages of technical control and evaluation of the obtained parameters for the development of expert decisions on the operational reliability and prospects for further operation of equipment and elements in Azipod-type propulsion electric systems relevant on numerous vessels.

Authors: Preza Dariane , Barion Vitória Aguirre
Published: January 2025

Na Atualidade, a busca pela beleza não se limita apenas às características externas. Tem havido um foco considerável na estética dentária, com um grande número de indivíduos aspirando a sorrisos perfeitamente bonitos. O objetivo deste artigo é entender a eficácia dos pigmentos opacificantes e das resinas compostas como forma direta de restauração na ocultação de substratos dentários escurecidos. Para atingir esse objetivo foi realizado um estudo de caso com uma paciente do sexo feminino, de 45 anos, que procurou atendimento na Clínica Santa Bárbara devido à insatisfação com a aparência dos dentes, que estavam descoloridos. Após a realização de um exame minucioso, foi determinado o plano de tratamento mais adequado e econômico para alcançar o resultado desejado. Por fim, a coroa da paciente foi substituída por uma opaca no incisivo central (Dente 11), resultando em uma estética restaurada e harmoniosa que melhorou sua qualidade de vida. Um dos maiores desafios na criação de facetas diretas em dentes escurecidos envolve ocultar o substrato modificado. Para combater o resultado indesejável do escurecimento dentário, os profissionais de odontologia têm duas opções: aumentar o desgaste dentário ou adotar uma abordagem mais conservadora com opacificadores. Os opacificadores são definidos como resinas que podem bloquear a transmissão da luz e ocultar cores indesejadas na superfície dos dentes. No geral, um diagnóstico preciso da descoloração dentária, bem como a experiência no manuseio e o conhecimento dos agentes opacificantes, são cruciais para obter um sorriso de aparência natural e um tratamento bem-sucedido com facetas diretas nos dentes anteriores. O uso de resinas opacificantes é uma técnica complementar para facetas diretas em dentes escurecidos e apresenta resultados promissores.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of Knowledge Management (KM) practices, enhanced by smart technologies, on organizational performance within public pharmaceutical organizations in Cairo Governorate, Egypt. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study targeted employees from five public pharmaceutical companies in Cairo Governorate, including Memphis Pharmaceuticals, Arab Pharmaceuticals, Cairo Pharmaceuticals, Nile Pharmaceuticals, and EIPICO. These companies were selected based on their public listing and accessible workforce data. Respondents included administrative and technical staff, ensuring a representative sample of the sector. The sample size of 372 was calculated using a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error, proportionally distributed across organizations and roles. The results of the study reveal that KM practices significantly enhance operational efficiency and foster innovation, with quantitative evidence showing that KM positively influences operational efficiency (β = 0.42, p < 0.01) and innovation (β = 0.35, p < 0.05). The analysis also indicates that strategic leadership plays a moderating role in the relationship between KM practices and organizational performance. Specifically, the moderation effect of leadership strengthens the impact of KM on operational efficiency (interaction term: β = 0.18, p < 0.05) and innovation (interaction term: β = 0.21, p < 0.05). These findings underscore the critical role of leadership in aligning KM practices with strategic goals, highlighting the potential for public pharmaceutical organizations to achieve higher efficiency and innovation. Organizations operating in highly regulated sectors can drive continuous improvement and achieve sustainable performance outcomes by integrating KM frameworks with advanced technologies and strategic leadership.

Transformative Islam and Peasant Independence: Experiences from an Indonesian Village
Authors: Fanani Muhyar , Abdullah Irwan , Hasyim Nur , Supriadi Endang
Published: January 2025

Indonesian peasants have been dependent on market forces and global phenomena since the establishment of the New Order (1966), and this has been detrimental to their welfare. However, this phenomenon has long been ignored by scholars, and thus the government has received little feedback regarding the creation of fairness and justice in agricultural management. This study, thus, seeks to empower farmers by transforming their traditional understanding of Islam into a transformative one. This study involved participatory action research, cycling twice through five strategies: imparting knowledge of transformative Islam, cultivating new understandings, developing strategic action plans, implementing these action plans, and reflecting/gathering feedback for further action. This study finds that peasant empowerment can be realized by transforming their religious understandings, and that the five strategies identified above can be employed fruitfully. At the same time, this study provides important feedback to the government and academics, offering a means of sustainably and systematically empowering farmers in Indonesia and around the world, thereby changing their fates and creating justice in agriculture.
The Value of Using Quantitative MRI based on Synthetic Acquisition and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient to Monitor Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Activity
Authors: Abujamea Abdullah H. , Albadr Fahad B. , Asiri Arwa M.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common disabling central nervous system diseases affecting young adults. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) is an essential tool for diagnosing and following up multiple sclerosis. Over the years, many MRI techniques have been developed to
improve the sensitivity of MS disease detection. In recent years synthetic MRI (sMRI) and quantitative MRI (qMRI) have gained traction in
neuroimaging applications, providing more detailed information than traditional acquisition methods. These techniques enable the detection of
microstructural changes in the brain with high sensitivity and robustness to inter-scanner and inter-observer variability. This study aims to evaluate
the feasibility of using these techniques to avoid administering intravenous gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for assessing MS disease
activity and monitoring.

Materials and Methods:

Forty-two known MS patients, aged 20 to 45, were scanned as part of their routine follow-up. MAGnetic resonance image Compilation (MAGiC)
sequence, an implementation of synthetic MRI, was added to our institute's routine MS protocol to automatically generate quantitative maps of T1,
T2, and PD. T1, T2, PD, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) data were collected from regions of interest (ROIs) representing normalappearing
white matter (NAWM), enhancing, and non-enhancing MS lesions. The extracted information was compared, and statistically analyzed,
and the sensitivity and specificity were calculated.

Results:

The mean R1 (the reciprocal of T1) value of the non-enhancing MS lesions was 0.694 s-1 (T1=1440 ms), for enhancing lesions 1.015 s-1
(T1=985ms), and for NAWM 1.514 s-1 (T1=660ms). For R2 (the reciprocal of T2) values, the mean value was 6.816 s-1 (T2=146ms) for nonenhancing
lesions, 8.944 s−1 (T2=112 ms) for enhancing lesions, and 1.916 s−1 (T2=522 ms) for NAWM. PD values averaged 93.069% for nonenhancing
lesions, 82.260% for enhancing lesions, and 67.191% for NAWM. For ADC, the mean value for non-enhancing lesions was
1216.60×10−6 mm2/s, for enhancing lesions 1016.66×10−6 mm2/s, and for NAWM 770.51×10−6 mm2/s.

Discussion:

Our results indicate that enhancing and non-enhancing MS lesions significantly decrease R1 and R2 values. Non-enhancing lesions have
significantly lower R1 and R2 values compared to enhancing lesions.

Conclusion:

Conversely, PD values are significantly higher in non-enhancing lesions than in enhancing lesions. For ADC, while NAWM has lower values,
there was minimal difference between the mean ADC values of enhancing and non-enhancing lesions.

Por su parte, la alianza entre la Unión Europea y la otan se perfila como líder en el desarrollo de cibercapacidades; mientras que países como México aún no cuentan con las herramientas suficientes para hacer frente a los nuevos embates a la seguridad internacional en el siglo XXI.
Spinoza’s Yoga: Practice of Power and Experience of the Infinite
Authors: Sangiacomo Andrea
Published: January 2025

Humanity today holds unprecedented power over nature, but this achievement has led to crises—from extreme inequality to climate disaster—that seem beyond our control. Baruch Spinoza’s philosophy offers a profound perspective on this paradox and points to a possible solution. Spinoza suggests that real empowerment comes from enhancing the kind of knowledge we possess, revealing a limitless source of vitality in understanding ourselves as part of a greater whole. But to fully grasp and apply Spinoza's ideas, we must see him not just as a philosopher, but as a practitioner of a discipline akin to the “yoga” of India. Unlike most Indian yogic traditions, however, Spinoza’s approach emphasizes not renouncing desire but intensifying it. This fresh view makes Spinoza’s philosophy a practical guide for transforming how we live in the world, while also offering new insights into the relevance and application of Indian yogic traditions.
An Automated Clinical Laboratory Decision Support System for Test Utilization, Medical Necessity Verification, and Payment Processing
Authors: Beqaj Safedin , Shrestha Rojeet , Hamill Tim
Published: January 2025

Physicians could improve the efficiency of the health care system if a reliable resource were available to aid them in better understanding, selecting, and interpreting the diagnostic laboratory tests. It has been well established and widely recognized that (1) laboratory testing provides 70%-85% of the objective data that physicians use in the diagnosis and treatment of their patients; (2) orders for laboratory tests in the United States have increased, with an estimated volume of 4-5 billion tests per year; (3) there is a lack of user-friendly tools to guide physicians in their test selection and ordering; and (4) laboratory test overutilization and underutilization continue to represent a pervasive source of inefficiency in the health care system. These inappropriate test orders not only lead to slower or incorrect diagnoses for patients but also add a significant financial burden. In addition, many ordered tests are not reimbursed by Medicare because they are inappropriate for the medical condition or were ordered with the incorrect International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision diagnostic code, not meeting the medical necessity. Therefore, current clinical laboratory test ordering procedures experience a quality gap. Often, providers do not have access to an appropriate tool that uses evidence-based guidelines or algorithms to ensure that tests are not duplicated, overused, or underused. This viewpoint lays out the potential use of an automated laboratory clinical decision support system that helps providers order the right test for the right disease and documents the right reason or medical necessity to pay for the testing.
A Patient-Oriented Implementation Strategy for a Perioperative mHealth Intervention: Feasibility Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Toben Daan , de Wind Astrid , van der Meij Eva , Huirne Judith A F , Anema Johannes R
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Day surgery is being increasingly implemented across Europe, driven in part by capacity problems. Patients recovering at home could benefit from tools tailored to their new care setting to effectively manage their convalescence. The mHealth application ikHerstel is one such tool, but although it administers its functions in the home, its implementation hinges on health care professionals within the hospital.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a feasibility study of an additional patient-oriented implementation strategy for ikHerstel. This strategy aimed to empower patients to access and use ikHerstel independently, in contrast to implementation as usual, which hinges on the health care professional acting as gatekeeper. Our research question was “How well are patients able to use ikHerstel independently of their health care professional?”

METHODS

We investigated the implementation strategy in terms of its recruitment, reach, dose delivered, dose received, and fidelity. Patients with a recent or prospective elective surgery were recruited using a wide array of materials to simulate patient-oriented dissemination of ikHerstel. Data were collected through web-based surveys. Descriptive analysis and open coding were used to analyze the data.

RESULTS

Recruitment yielded 213 registrations, with 55 patients ultimately included in the study. The sample was characterized by patients undergoing abdominal surgery, with high literacy and above average digital health literacy, and included an overrepresentation of women (48/55, 87%). The implementation strategy had a reach of 81% (63/78), with 87% (55/67) of patients creating a recovery plan. Patients were satisfied with their independent use of ikHerstel, rating it an average 7.0 (SD 1.9) of 10, and 54% (29/54) of patients explicitly reported no difficulties in using it. A major concern of the implementation strategy was conflicts in recommendations between ikHerstel and the health care professionals, as well as the resulting feelings of insecurity experienced by patients.

CONCLUSIONS

In this small feasibility study, most patients were satisfied with the patient-oriented implementation strategy. However, the lack of involvement of health care professionals due to the strategy contributed to patient concerns regarding conflicting recommendations between ikHerstel and health care professionals.
Value Cocreation and Codestruction in Digital Health Services: Protocol for a Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Laukka Elina , Tuunanen Tuure , Jansson Miia , Vanhanen Minna , Hirvonen Nina , Palukka Jenni , Vesinurm Märt , Torkki Paulus
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

To successfully design, develop, implement, and deliver digital health services that provide value, they should be cocreated with patients. However, occasionally, the value may also be codestructed. In the field of health care, the concepts of value cocreation and codestruction still need to be better established within emerging digital health services. Studying these concepts is essential for developing effective and sustainable patient-centered care.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is (1) to understand the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes of value cocreation and codestruction in digital health services, (2) to define the dynamics between value cocreation and codestruction, and (3) to map future research areas of value cocreation and codestruction within digital health services.

METHODS

The systematic review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed method systematic reviews and the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. The review considers scientific qualitative, quantitative, or mixed method studies published in English, Finnish, or Swedish that concern either value cocreation or codestruction in digital health services. Studies focusing on physical robotics and online health communities, as well as non–peer-reviewed and nonscientific papers, will be excluded. The searches were conducted using Scopus and MEDLINE during this protocol creation. Critical appraisal will be done using suitable checklists for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method studies. The review will adhere to a convergent integrated approach as outlined in the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed methods systematic reviews.

RESULTS

The searches resulted in a total of 837 records. The antecedents, decisions, and outcomes of value cocreation and codestruction in the context of digital health services will be described in a finalized systematic review. In the outcomes, our main interest is the effect on patient outcomes and experiences and professional experiences.

CONCLUSIONS

Since our study involves diverse scientific fields, there is a risk that our search does not capture all relevant papers. To mitigate this risk, we used 2 large databases for the searches. In addition, the value cocreation or codestruction terms may not have been used in all studies focusing on the collaborative roles of patients and providers, especially in the medical field, and that may be difficult to capture. The review reveals the current understanding of value cocreation and codestruction in digital health services and shapes the research agenda for these phenomena. Value cocreation can be used to both design and efficiently use digital health services trying to maximize the value for patients.

Do people with Parkinson’s disease find a home-based augmented-reality gait-and-balance exercise program acceptable?: a qualitative approach (Preprint)
Authors: Hardeman Lotte , van Benten Esther , Hoogendoorn Eva , van Gameren Maaike , Nonnekes Jorik , Roerdink Melvyn , Geerse Daphne
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

The rising prevalence of Parkinson’s disease and the growing demand on the healthcare system underscore the need for accessible and innovative care solutions such as Reality DTx® - an augmented-reality neurorehabilitation program with remotely-prescribed gait-and-balance exercises at home for people with Parkinson’s disease.

OBJECTIVE

At a pre-implementation stage, this qualitative study aimed to explore the acceptability of Reality DTx®.

METHODS

We conducted semi-structured interviews, guided by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability, with 22 people with Parkinson’s disease who used Reality DTx® at home for six weeks as part of a clinical feasibility trial. Data was thematically analyzed and thoroughly discussed in triangulation.

RESULTS

Participants reported variable perceptions of effectiveness and variable experiences of effort to complete the Reality DTx® program. They viewed Reality DTx® as a valuable complement to supervised physical therapy and emphasized the indispensable role of the physical therapist for external control of long-term exercise adherence and for meaningful feedback on motor performance, as well as the desire for social connection. Flexibility in time and location was mentioned as a very important program characteristic, supporting long-term exercise adherence. Suggestions for improvement included enhanced visibility of progression in scores, increased variation in games, and integration of competitive elements.

CONCLUSIONS

Remotely-prescribed augmented-reality exercises at home, complementary to supervised physical therapy, are acceptable to people with Parkinson’s disease. The findings inform future Reality DTx® development and implementation from the perspective of people with Parkinson’s, which should be weighted with the perspectives of other stakeholders like clinicians and other key decision makers.

Un acercamiento a la historiofotía y la contravisualidad de las representaciones visuales afroamericanas
Authors: Sánchez Menchero Mauricio
Published: January 2025

El artículo destaca la importancia de considerar, desde un punto de vista parahistoriográfico y con diferentes dispositivos de imágenes fijas y en movimiento —pintura, foto y cine—, el manejo de lo visual para construir un relato historiográfico o de historiofotía de las representaciones visuales de los afroamericanos. Esto se logra mediante el análisis de un dispositivo visual a través de tres tipos de productos plásticos, fotográficos y fílmicos creados a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX. De esta forma, con la categoría de historiofotía se identificaron algunos casos en los cuales se manifestaron expresiones de poder desde la imposición visual y su resistencia desde la contravisualidad como ha sido el caso de la comunidad afroamericana.

High economic growth not only helps improve welfare but is also an indicator of the success of a country's economic development. However, high economic growth cannot guarantee that everyone will get the same benefits. Therefore, this research aims to determine the role of the population sector in supporting the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the context of strengthening an inclusive economy. This research uses secondary data from the World Bank and was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The research results show that inflation, population, unemployment and per capita income significantly affect economic growth simultaneously. This study shows that Indonesia's inclusive economy still faces many challenges.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Hyoung Soo , Lee Juyoung
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study was conducted to investigate whether there are differences in academic adaptation trajectories among multiple groups based on admission criteria.
Methods For analysis, we obtained cooperation from the CS Center on campus and collected data from 17,969 students enrolled in the 2022 academic year. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed to determine the data normality and the relationship among variables. In addition, the Mplus program was used to analyze a structural equation model that established the relationship among department satisfaction, student support infrastructure, academic commitment, and GPA, and a multigroup analysis was conducted to verify the difference in pathways between groups according to the admission criteria.
Results The structural model, which posits that department satisfaction and student support infrastructure influence GPA through departmental immersion, was found to be appropriate. In the multi-group analysis results comparing four groups—comprehensive student record admission, outstanding academic record admission, regular admission, and transfer admission—statistically significant differences in path coefficients were observed when comparing the comprehensive student record admission group with both the regular admission group and the outstanding academic record admission group.
Conclusions It was found that there are differences in the relative impact of satisfaction and support infrastructure on departmental immersion depending on the type of admission. This finding suggests that such information could serve as foundational data for shaping student support policies.

Published: January 2025

Objectives This study aimed to develop and apply supportive clinical field education led by educational nurses for new nurses and to verify its effectiveness.
Methods A quasi-experimental study design using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The participants included 30 new nurses in the experimental group and 28 in the control group from S General Hospital in Seoul. The research period spanned from May 18 to August 31, 2024. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 26.0 to compare social support, nursing performance, field adaptation, and education satisfaction.
Results Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in social support (t=2.07, p<.05), nursing performance (t=2.14, p<.05), and field adaptation (t=2.33, p<.05). Additionally, the education satisfaction of the experimental group (t=-3.15, p<.05) was higher than that of the control group.
Conclusions The results confirmed that supportive clinical field education improved social support, nursing performance, and field adaptation among new nurses. Therefore, it is essential to develop and implement various clinical field education programs that incorporate supportive elements to enhance the effective adaptation of new nurses and improve the quality of nursing.

Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study is to establish the basis for program development by deriving the educational objectives, educational content, educational methods, and teacher roles of an early childhood STEAM education program based on visual literacy by analyzing the opinions of 14 expert panelists.
Methods For this purpose, a panel of 14 experts in early childhood education, art, music, and science and engineering was selected, and a Delphi survey was conducted three times in total. The first Delphi survey consisting of open-ended questions was subjected to content analysis, and the second and third Delphi surveys were conducted using the SPSS 22.0 program to calculate the mean, standard deviation, median, quartile, CVR value, agreement, convergence, and stability.
Results First, the definition and components of early childhood visual literacy were conceptualized, and the components of visual literacy were matched with the learning criteria frame of early childhood STEAM education. Second, the educational goal areas of visual literacy-based early childhood STEAM education were derived as ‘development of convergent thinking skills’, ‘development of creativity’, and ‘development of visual literacy’, etc. And the educational content was derived as ‘linked to the curriculum’, ‘child-centered play-centered’, ‘use of visual materials’, ‘creative experience’, and ‘linked to STEAM educational elements’. The educational methods include ‘child-centered, play-centered education linked to the curriculum’, etc and ‘problem-solving-centered education’, and the roles of teachers include ‘linguistic and media-based social support’ and ‘understanding of individual differences in children’s temperament, interests, and developmental levels’, etc.
Conclusions This study is significant in that it conceptualizes the definition and components of visual literacy suitable for young children and explores ways to effectively connect visual literacy with STEAM education. It is also significant in that it provides basic data for developing early childhood STEAM education programs based on visual literacy and suggests specific measures to enhance the practicality of this education in the future.

Results As a result of the study, first, high school students' academic stress showed a significant negative correlation with school life adaptation, and a significant negative correlation with resilience. In addition, school life adaptation showed a significant positive correlation with resilience. Second, it was confirmed that resilience plays a complete mediating role in the effect of academic stress on school life adaptation.
Conclusions Through the results of this study, it was suggested that high school students who have difficulty adapting to school life due to academic stress can come up with measures that can help them adapt to school life by increasing resilience.
A narrative study on a teacher’s experience in managing a small-scale class
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jung Hyung-Soo
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of a homeroom teacher managing a small class and to understand the significance of these experiences, in order to draw implications for policies related to small classes and teachers.
Methods To achieve this, a narrative study was conducted on Teacher Hyunseo Lee (pseudonym), who is a homeroom teacher of a class consisting of six students at Wonyeong Elementary School (pseudonym), a small school located on the rural-urban boundary.
Results Teacher Hyunseo Lee initially expected that the small class size would allow her to operate the curriculum according to her educational beliefs. However, she faced difficulties due to the panoptic-like surveillance system of the school, which required her to manage numerous administrative tasks and class management on her own. Additionally, she encountered challenges related to the contextual characteristics of small classes in the process of guiding students' behavior and learning. Nevertheless, the small class size, which allowed for flexible use of classroom space, enabled her to partially realize her educational beliefs during everyday lessons, leading to the educational growth of her students. Through this process, she found a sense of fulfillment as a teacher and developed a positive view of her profession.
Conclusions Teacher Hyunseo Lee's experience in managing a small class provided her with an opportunity to reflect on her existential meaning as a teacher and confirmed the value of small classes for effective learning and behavior guidance. Based on these experiences, implications for small class and teacher policies were suggested.
