Authors: Anindya Nabila  , Resa Kristianda  , Muhammad Hasan  , Supriadi
Published: September 2023

This research investigates the implementation of the Audio-lingual Method (ALM) to enhance listening skills among Junior High School students. The study used a classroom action research (CAR) approach, involving three cycles with observations, pre-tests, post-tests, and a questionnaire. The findings revealed that students initially struggle with listening in English due to limited vocabulary, grammatical difficulties, pronunciation issues, and a lack of confidence. The ALM significantly improved students' listening comprehension skills through audio recordings, dialogues, interactive activities, and authentic materials. Around 75% of students felt significantly assisted and found it easier to comprehend English vocabulary after the ALM implementation. However, 15% of students expressed disagreement, citing continued struggles with limited vocabulary. The ALM positively influences students' listening skills by combining listening practice with interactive activities and authentic materials. To further enhance students' listening abilities, teachers should address vocabulary limitations and pronunciation challenges, and employ additional strategies to foster a supportive and enjoyable learning environment. Future research should explore supplementary approaches and resources that complement the ALM to further enhance students' listening skills. Evaluating the long-term impact of the ALM on students' listening abilities would provide valuable insights into its effectiveness over an extended period. By implementing these findings, educators can effectively enhance students' listening skills and promote their overall English language proficiency.

The way a person perceives and interprets the situation during pain provokes a variety of emotional and behavioral responses. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the assessment of the situation during pain by patients with chronic pain. Materials and methods: A sample of 120 patients with chronic pain was studied. Sixty-one of them had clinically manifested symptoms of depression, and fifty-nine had no depression. The patients were evaluated using the following scales: HAM-D-17, Spielberger questionnaire – STAI – form Y1 and form Y2 and VAS. A model of four situations was applied to assess the situation during pain: unique, risky, routine and situation of uncertainty. Results: The mean age of the sample was 51.90±11.94. Women predominate (81.7%) over men (18.3%). The group with depression had moderate severity of depression and pain intensity and high state and trait anxiety. A majority of them (48.4%) assessed the situation during pain as a risk and/or an uncertainty. The group without depression had moderate state and trait anxiety and mild pain intensity. More than half of them (62.7%) assessed the situation as routine. Conclusion: Depression and anxiety affect the perceived situation during pain. Assessing and understanding the specific links between them is essential for forming adaptive ways of coping with chronic pain.

The ‘Insurance Policy Model’: An Alternative Approach to Evaluating Disruptive Technologies in the Energy Transition
Authors: Abbott Marc
Published: September 2023

The Energy Transition from hydrocarbon fuels (Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas) to carbon neutral or carbon zero fuels are bringing a necessary change in the way companies and markets evaluate and fund research and development (R&D) in the Energy Transition. Historically research and development in oil, coal, and natural gas has been focused on “Sustainable Technology” that is developing technology that focuses on lowering cost, increasing efficiency, reducing environmental impacts, and using less energy in the production life cycle of an established product or commodity. Sustainable technology projects and portfolios have proven evaluation and decision-making methodologies and are generally risk averse; For example, using risked net present value (rNPV) to evaluate incorporating a more efficient generator into a mature energy system.With the Energy Transition many of the technologies are either in the very early stages of development or not yet tested beyond theory and can be classified as “Disruptive Technologies”. Disruptive technologies have by their very nature, as they are unproven, a very different value proposition than sustainable technologies thus traditional evaluation and decision-making methods, such as rNPV are not applicable.This short communication puts forward an alternative solution to evaluating and supporting decision making for disruptive technologies; The Insurance Premium model is developed where representative insurance premiums are proposed, ranging from very small for unproven technology many years from a significant presence in the market (0.03% of investment) to rather small (1%) for more matured technology that may be significant in the market in five years’ time.
Rule of Law History and Development in China: in Comparison of Australia
Authors: WANG Mi , ZHANG Zhenhuan
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the rule of law development and application in China compared with Australia. In August 2021, the Chinese Central Government issued the Implementation Outline for the Construction of a Government Under the Rule of Law (2021-2025), which indicated the general plan to improve rule of law for the next five years. In the past few years, the Chinese government has made great efforts to promote the rule of law theory. China enforced judicial reform, which improves the judicial independence and professional ability of legal practitioners. Chinese rule of law formation has been influenced by western countries due to previous foreign legal aid and Australian judicial practice has also been influenced by Chinese theory. In Australia, people are encouraged to solve civil disputes via mediation and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, which may be influenced by Chinese theory of “Fengqiao Experience”. It is important to continue increasing rule of law in China, but it is improper to transplant the Australian theory to China directly due to the different legal culture and history between two countries. Generally, more efforts need to be made for strengthening rule of law in China.

Authors: 蔡淳娟 蔡淳娟
Published: September 2023

臨床診斷是提升醫療品質及確保病人安全的一個關鍵，學員需要經驗眾多病人情境的量與種類，又需被觀察與指導，傳統醫學教育教育與臨床實習不容易達到這些目的，COVID-19疫情造成空間隔離等多重問題，帶來了更大的學習困境。虛擬智慧型參與式擬真訓練，提供了虛擬病人、虛擬醫院及系統中的專家，可以讓學員隨時隨地演練臨床決策能力，在疫情中疫情後提供了臨床思辨教育的轉機。教學上的應用，可以將臨床思辨架構導入診療照護任務中的各步驟，例如: 病史詢問、進行檢查／檢驗探索、身體檢查、診斷分析及病歷寫作的教學訓練，藉此基礎而精進醫療人員之臨床診療能力。

 

Clinical diagnosis is a key determinant of health-care quality and patient safety. To attain proficiency, learners must hone their clinical reasoning through deliberate practice while being exposed to a large number and diverse range of patients. However, these goals are difficult to attain in traditional medical education and clinical internships. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges. Thus, this study formulated an NLP-enhanced virtual simulation platform that allows students to practice with virtual patients, virtual hospital environments, and expert guidance behind the scenes. This platform allows hands-on practice in clinical decision-making anywhere anytime, thus presenting a novel avenue for educational enhancement during the pandemic as well as in the post-pandemic era. The virtual simulation training system can be used in the teaching of various clinical tasks, including history taking, physical examination, laboratory investigations, image studies, differential diagnosis, and medical documentation.

Authors: Mishari Abdullah AL Ajery, , Abdullah Ali Thamari, , Faisal Hamed Al Malki, , Ahmed Abdu Khormi, , Salem Mohammed Al Farshan,
Published: September 2023

Medical Information Management (MIM) oversees the collection, storage, retrieval, and utilization of healthcare data. Historically, MIM relied on manual record-keeping, which shifted to standardized forms in the early 20th century. The digital revolution in the late 20th century introduced Electronic Health Records (EHRs), streamlining data sharing and storage. As EHRs proliferated, interoperability became vital, leading to Health Information Exchanges. However, digital records also posed challenges in data security, prompting regulations like HIPAA. Presently, the integration of AI and big data in MIM offers diagnostic support and personalizes patient care. Future projections suggest global health data integration, but with this come ethical dilemmas, especially concerning AI's role in healthcare. This evolution from rudimentary records to sophisticated, interconnected systems exemplifies technological advancement in healthcare, emphasizing the balance between innovation and ethical considerations.

Ayurvedic Approach to Sickle Cell Disease WSR to Sannipatika Pandu: An Overview
Authors:   P.G. Dept. of Roga Nidan Evam Vikriti Vigyana, Govt. Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Balangir, Odisha, India, Bez Sudipta
Published: September 2023

Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic life-long blood disorder characterized by RBCs that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape – sickling decreases the flexibility and results of the cell in a risk of various complications. The Valine amino acid is replaced by the Glutamic acid in the 6th position of the 11th chromosome of the Beta chain of the hemoglobin inside the RBCs. Due to that, the haemoglobin concentration of individuals is not maintained properly and there is a chance of multiple infections in seasonal variation. SCD can be compared with Sannipatika or Sahaja (hereditary) Pandu Vyadhi in Ayurveda, to understand the Ayurvedic perspective of SCD and all the related pathophysiology of Rakta Dhatu i. e. its Utpatti, Hetu, Lakshana, Samprapti, Chikitsa Siddhant, etc are taken into consideration in this context. SCD occurs more com-monly in people belonging to tropical & subtropical regions in malaria-prone areas. According to Ayurveda Beeja-Dushti play a major role in its pathogenesis. Aim: To establish a correlation between Sickle Cell Disease and Pandu Vyadhi. Material and Method: A comparison of literary materials from Ayurvedic classics specially Charak and Sushruta Samhita, in relation to modern texts and their available commentary as well as different webs. Discussion: The genetic basis of SCD is well established so, Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu/ Kulaja Pandu/ Anuvamshika Pandu may be some similarities with SCD. In the present context, the Doshika status of the disease can be analyzed as Vata-Pitta provocation along with the depletion of Kapha. Conclusion: In this study Genetic basis of SCD and Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu is correlated with both Modern and Ayurvedic points of view. Both show similarity in pathogenesis and in some clinical presentation, it can be concluded that Sickle cell disease and Beeja Dushtijanya Pandu/ Kulaja Pandu / Anuvamshika Pandu appears to be appropriate for correlation.

Authors: Harsh L. , Khan Hamid , Bohra M. , Tiwari J.
Published: September 2023

Acacia senegal, is a prominent tree species of mixed xerophytic thorn forest type, which occurs in rocky hills, dry sandy tracts and sand dunes of arid and semi-arid tropics of India and Africa. The species is main source of gum arabic in many African countries, but gum production potential of this species is untapped in Indian sub-continent. In the present investigation, an attempt is made to study the growth performance and gum production of Acacia senegal under different edaphic conditions. The overall growth performance and gum production of the tree were found to be better on sandy site as compared to other edaphic sites. The study also revealed that gum production is directly co-related with diameter at breast height (dbh) of the trees. By applying simple new gum tapping technology, India could be major source of gum-arabic.

Authors: Almeida Paula Pinheiro Sanches de , Baptista Julia Pezarini , Higashi Allan Yukio , Teixeira Gustavo Manoel , Almeida Luiz Henrique Campos de , Oliveira Junior Admilton Gonçalves de , Balbi-Peña Maria Isabel
Published: September 2023

The in vitro antagonistic activity of Bacillus velezensis LABIM40 (strain CMRP 4489) was assessed against Alternaria linariae, Botryotinia squamosa, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, Gibberella zeae, and Rhizoctonia solani. An experiment was conducted using treated seeds under growth chamber conditions to determine the impact of various LABIM40 formulations on tomato seedling growth and the biocontrol of damping-off caused by R. solani. The treatments included the use of LABIM40 cell suspension, LABIM40 cell-free supernatant (CFS), 10 times concentrated CFS (10× CFS), commercial products based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (CP_1) and Bacillus subtilis (CP_2), and water. The effects of these products were assessed on tomato seedlings grown in sterile substrate or substrate inoculated with R. solani. In a dual culture test, B. velezensis LABIM40 inhibited the mycelial growth of the aforementioned fungal pathogens by 46.6%, 67.4%, 64.7%, 49.0%, and 54.4%, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration against each fungus was determined using varying concentrations of CFS in potato dextrose agar medium, followed by a regression analysis of mycelial growth inhibition. Except for A. linariae, the logarithmic model provided the best fit in all cases. Tomato seedlings from seeds treated with 10× CFS in inoculated substrate exhibited a survival rate 57% higher than that exhibited by the control treatment. However, no growth promotion was observed in tomato plants from seeds treated with LABIM40 cells or its CFS metabolites. In summary, these findings highlight the antagonistic activity of B. velezensis LABIM40 against A. linariae, B. squamosa, C. lindemuthianum, G. zeae, and R. solani, as demonstrated by dual culture and CFS diffusion tests. This suggests its potential as a biocontrol agent for damping-off in tomatoes.

The challenges and problems faced by Health Centers in Batam City include work discipline, motivation, compensation, competence, and employee performance. Due to these problems, it is necessary to conduct research entitled “The influence of work discipline, motivation, and compensation on employee performance through competence at Health Centers.” The models used are Structural Equation Model (SEM). In this research, the number of respondents was 127 respondents. This study’s sample was taken from a population of 186 respondents (census method). The research results were as such: determination variables like work discipline, motivation and compensation showed a positive and significant correlation to competence; determination variables like competence, work discipline, and motivation showed a positive and significant correlation to employee performance, whereas the determination variable of compensation showed no significant correlation to employee performance. Square multiple correlation to competence is 88.2% and to employee performance is 98.9%. All variables are determined to be significant except for the compensation variable. It is suggested that employee compensation needs to be increased so that the performance of Health Center employees increases.

Considerando as evidências que indicam o uso restritivo, e não rotineiro, de episiotomia, diferentes técnicas e intervenções estão sendo utilizadas para evitar o trauma perineal, principalmente, por enfermeiras obstétricas e obstetrizes. Com isso, objetivou-se compreender a experiência dos acompanhantes ao realizarem a massagem perineal em suas companheiras durante a gestação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratório-descritiva. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre abril de 2016 e abril de 2017, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e notas descritivas, na residência ou local de trabalho dos participantes. Participaram da pesquisa 10 acompanhantes. Os dados foram interpretados por meio da análise de conteúdo de Bardin, com auxílio do software Visual Qualitative Data Analysis (ATLAS.ti 8.0). Após análise dos resultados obtidos, emergiram cinco categorias: desafios apontados pelos acompanhantes para a realização da massagem perineal; contribuições da massagem perineal para a proteção do períneo; a massagem perineal favorece o envolvimento do acompanhante durante a gestação; estratégias para a realização da massagem perineal; e, recomendações dos acompanhantes a partir de suas experiências. A realização da massagem perineal pelo acompanhante durante a gestação contribui para o pré-natal masculino e favorece o vínculo do casal, sendo uma proposta de cuidado que visa à contínua presença do homem em atividades do ciclo gravídico-puerperal.
EXPLORANDO AS VARIAÇÕES QUANTITATIVAS DO DIAGNÓSTICO DE LESÕES ORAIS E AS POSSIBILIDADES DA TELEODONTOLOGIA EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA

Published: September 2023

Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, a Teleodontologia (TO) foi uma estratégia para continuidade da atenção à saúde bucal propiciando orientações, educação em saúde e monitoramentos, além do diagnóstico de lesões orais. Entretanto, aferir se essas lesões foram diagnosticadas em teleconsultas nas bases de dados governamentais não é preciso. Nesse âmbito, o estudo analisou o papel da TO, por meio das variações quantitativas no diagnóstico de Alteração de Tecido Mole (ATeM) no Brasil e suas macrorregiões, com intuito de debater suas possibilidades e limites. Para dimensionar a queda no acesso, as primeiras consultas odontológicas (PCO) foram elencadas. As PCO e ATeM foram coletadas no Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), entre janeiro de 2019 e dezembro de 2021. A análise foi realizada pelos testes de Friedman e Post-Hoc Durbin-Conover, com nível de significância de 5%. Para facilitar a interpretação, as informações foram tabuladas pelas diferenças percentuais estatisticamente significantes. Como resultado, em 2021, as medianas das PCO no Brasil permaneceram baixas em grande parte do território (-35,73 %, p<0,001), mas as ATeM voltaram aos níveis de 2019 (+2,47% em 2021, p=1,0). A mediana da ATeM da região Sul foi a única com redução não estatisticamente significante em 2020 (-19,67%, p=0,064) e com aumento significativo em 2021 (+15,08%, p=0,011). É provável que a ampliação do uso da TO no Brasil e a experiência prévia em Telessaúde na região Sul tenham contribuído para a manutenção de diagnóstico das ATeM durante a pandemia. A TO fornece diagnósticos favoráveis no manejo das ATeM, com baixos custos e boa aceitação entre pacientes e profissionais. No entanto, são necessários investimentos estruturais nas unidades de saúde, fornecimento de rede digital, na capacitação técnica e humanizada das equipes de saúde para as teleconsultas e a participação integrada das Instituições de Ensino Superior nos serviços de saúde.

Mobility in the information society: a holistic model
Authors: Striuk Mykola I. , Striuk Andrii M. , Semerikov Serhiy O.
Published: September 2023

Ukraine’s National Strategy for Education Development aims to align its education system with global standards and sustainable development goals. One of the key objectives is to integrate higher education with European norms, offer diverse educational models, and meet information and communication needs. The European Commission supports this integration process by fostering initiatives such as the Bologna process, mobility, and cooperation with programs like Erasmus+. Mobility, enabled by information and communication technologies, is essential for building the European educational and scientific space. This paper explores the different aspects of mobility, such as geographic, social, professional, academic, learning, software, hardware, and technological mobility. It investigates how they relate to each other within socio-pedagogical and technical systems, highlighting their importance for the information society. Using historical and contemporary perspectives, the paper develops a holistic model of mobility in the information society. Future research directions include the dynamic evolution of mobility within higher education systems, its sociocultural implications, and its intersection with technological innovations and state-political transformations. Furthermore, the phenomenon of mobility in technological and pedagogical systems, driven by the spread of mobile information and communication technologies, deserves more attention.

Vaihtoehtoja kasvulle ja fossiilikapitalismille
Authors: Sorsa Santeri
Published: September 2023

Ilmastonmuutos ja ekokriisi(t) ovat aikamme suurimmat haasteet. Uutiset, tieteelliset artikkelit, asiantuntijahaastattelut, internet-meemit ja lukuisat muut tiedonvälityksen muodot jakavat tietoa ja näkemyksiä ilmastonmuutoksen tuomasta vääjäämättömästä tuhosta. Toisaalta IPCC:n (2023) tuore raportti kertoi, ettei toivoa kuitenkaan ole syytä heittää kokonaan metsään – ainakaan 1,5 celsiusasteen rajoissa pidettävän ilmaston lämpenemisen suhteen. Tässä kat­sausartikkelissa tarkastelen kolmea paljon keskustelua herättänyttä teosta, jotka kaikki tunnustavat tilanteen vakavuuden, mutta pyrkivät tarjoamaan polkuja kohti siedettävää tulevaisuutta. Käsittelen ensiksi Matthew T. Huberin teosta Climate Change as Class War (2022), joka ehdottaa ilmastonmuutoksen torjumisen ja kurssin kääntämisen keinoksi fossiilikapitalismin selättämistä luokkataistelun voimin. Tämän jälkeen käsittelen kahta degrowthia, eli nykymuotoisen kvantitatiivisen talouskasvun loppua, esittelevää teosta: Jason Hickelin kirjaa Less is More (2020) sekä Matthias Schmelzerin, Andrea Vetterin ja Aaron Vansintjanin kirjaa The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism (2022). Kaikki kolme teosta edustavat kapitalismille ja nykyiselle fossiilisia polttoaineita ylikuluttavalle tuotantotavalle vaihtoehtoisia näkemyksiä ja politiikkasuosituksia, mutta niiden välillä on niin strategisia kuin teoreettisiakin eroja. Keskeinen erottava tekijä liittyy väittelyyn degrowth-liikkeen (ks. Butler 2021) ja joidenkin ekososialistien välillä (ks. Schwartzman 2021). Karkeasti sanottuna ensimmäisen tavoitteena on kyseenalaistaa kapitalistinen talouskasvun imperatiivi ja samalla luoda tasa-arvoisempi yhteiskunta ilman talouskasvua. Jälkimmäisten tavoitteena on puolestaan haastaa fossiilikapitalismi ja luoda tasa-arvoisempi yhteiskunta siirtymällä kohti uusiutuviin energianlähteisiin perustuvaa sähköistettyä yhteiskuntaa.
