Financial Literacy, Behavioral Biases and Participation in Crypto Asset Markets
Authors: ARDOĞAN Ahmet Rutkay , GÜL Yavuz , SUYADAL Mehmetcan
Published: December 2023

We have conducted a survey to determine the relationship between financial literacy and crypto market participation. Furthermore, we have included overconfidence and risk lover tendency, which are considered behavioral biases, in our models along with financial literacy. Logistic regression results revealed striking findings on financial literacy and crypto market participation. Our analysis shows that financial literacy has a positive significant impact on crypto market participation. Specifically, advanced financial literates are more likely to engage in crypto markets than basic financial literates. Confidence in financial decisions and risk – lover tendency also positively affect crypto investments, however these effects are insignificant. Apart from this, we determined a relationship between participation behavior and other control variables such as age, gender and investing in traditional assets. Lastly, we focus on Turkish crypto investors and find significant differences in respect of demographic factors in financial literacy and behavioral biases.
Performance in propitiatory reconciliation among the Nandi community
Authors: Biwott Anthony , Mumbo Collins Kenga , Oduori Robert
Published: December 2023

Propitiation is part of what it means to be human. Traditionally, propitiation has been studied from a broad sociocultural perspective with little consideration of the performance processes at play. Among the Nandi community in Kenya, propitiatory offering reconciliation forms the core of restoration of inter-communities relationships. It defines and enriches their culture, but what is propitiatory offering reconciliation? How is it performed? Are there any steps followed in its execution? Is there a specific place of performance? In this article we provide a framework to understand the Nandi propitiatory reconciliation through a literary perspective. We expound on the steps followed: investigation, interrogation, and cleansing, and the three features of performance: that is, place of performance, actions and signs, formulaic expression, costumes, and audience. The data collection took place in Kabiyet and Kipkaren Wards in Nandi county and was collected through participatory observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The sample population was 30 adults between the ages of 45–90 years who were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The data collected on performance in propitiatory reconciliation rites was analysed by use of functionalism theory as expounded by Foley. We found that the stages of propitiatory reconciliation must be religiously adhered to for its effectiveness and that the success of its performance heavily depends on the participation of its performers and audience. This article also brings out performance in form of particular acts, singing, and chanting.
Progreso, verdad y perspectiva histórica en los Recuerdos históricos sobre la provincia de Cuyo de Damián Hudson, 1864-1874. Una aproximación a los orígenes de la historiografía erudita rioplatense
Authors: Cortez Ahumada Abel
Published: December 2023

En este artículo se analizan una serie de ideas filosóficas y de perspectivas interpretativas que el cuyano Damián Hudson utilizó para construir su obra Recuerdos históricos sobre la provincia de Cuyo (1864-1874), la cual se inscribe en los inicios de la historiografía erudita argentina. Se explora su idea de progreso, concepto que Hudson identifica con la providencia, potencia histórica incremental que despliega un desarrollo universal que hace avanzar a la humanidad y la nación hacia el bienestar y el desarrollo. Ese sentido de la historia encarnaría una verdad histórica que es menester develar por quienes estudian el pasado, pero no por vía de la neutralidad valorativa, sino posicionándose de una manera crítica y reflexionando filosóficamente sobre los procesos de desenvolvimiento histórico provincial y nacional. Se concluye con unas reflexiones sobre los cruces interpretativos entre la historia como proceso y la historia escrita como ejercicio intelectual, conceptos que tienden a combinarse en la época objeto de estudio.

Após as oficinas houve ampliação dos acertos e incorporação de novos conhecimentos mensurados pelo pós-teste nas duas escolas. CONCLUSÃO: É importante realizar oficinas no ambiente escolar a fim de reduzir danos à saúde e o Programa Saúde na Escola pode ser um facilitador para o acesso às temáticas da sexualidade e saúde reprodutiva.
The Need for New Transport Protocols on the INTERNET
Authors:   Politechnika Gdanska, WOZNIAK Jozef , NOWICKI Krzysztof ,   Politechnika Gdanska
Published: December 2023

TThe TCP/IP protocol suite is widely used in IP networks, regardless of diverse environments and usage scenarios. Due to the fact of being the basic concept of organizing the work of the Internet, it is the subject of interest and constant analysis of operators, users, network researchers, and designers. The Internet is a "living" organism in which new needs appear all the time. This is particularly important due to the emerging new application requirements - at the highest level of network architecture, and at the same time, completely new ways of transmitting messages related to new technologies and reception techniques, allowing for parallelization of messages transfer and lossless switching/handover between several interfaces. The paper highlights the expectations and requirements related, in particular, to new "multi-object" applications, as well as the limitations resulting from the high inertia observed on the side of the IP network transport infrastructure. Taking into account both the limitations and the formulated requirements, the selected end-to-end transport protocols have been characterized. More attention was paid to two protocols implementing multi-stream transfers, namely SCTP and QUIC.

Authors: Sarikaya A. , Gölbaşi Ö.
Published: December 2023

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic not 2 and U be a noncentral square closed Lie ideal of R. An additive mapping H on R is called a homoderivation if H(xy) = H(x)H(y)+H (x) y+xH(y) for all x, y ∈ R. In this paper we investigate homoderivations satisfying certain differential identities on square closed Lie ideals of prime rings.
Radon-Nikodýmification of arbitrary measure spaces
Authors: Bouafia P. , De Pauw T.
Published: December 2023

We study measurable spaces equipped with a σ-ideal of negligible sets. We find conditions under which they admit a localizable locally determined version – a kind of fiber space that locally describes their directions – defined by a universal property in an appropriate category that we introduce. These methods allow to promote each measure space (X, A , µ) to a strictly localizable version (X̂, Â, µ̂), so that the dual of L1 (X, A , µ) is L∞ (X̂, Â, µ̂). Corresponding to this duality is a generalized Radon-Nikodým theorem. We also provide a characterization of the strictly localizable version in special cases that include integral geometric measures, when the negligibles are the purely unrectifiable sets in a given dimension.
Historia, futuros y desafíos en el contexto de la cultura alimentaria

Published: December 2023

ICAF promotes the edition of the journal Archives on Food, Culture and Nutrition (AFOCUN), which aligns the aims and history of the discipline, and which aims to be a meeting point to focus the contemporary debate around the food-culture relationship. The analysis of food and food processes is nowadays a fertile field for the analysis of culture. The journal thus aspires to situate the field of food as an epistemological metropolis in anthropology. Analysing these food processes in contemporary debates on the global or the local, the flows of people, migrations, tourism or other displacements, the relations between food and climate change, the processes of patrimonialisation, the tensions between identity and modernisation, virtual ethnographies on food, its presence in social situations of vulnerability such as the processes of health and illness or loneliness are combined in classical approaches of a symbolic or applied nature to delimit an enormous scenario of objects of interest for the journal. The relations between food and religious practices, the space of ritual or economic practices in the context of globalisation or work linked to development, to cite a small sample of contemporary reflection whose theoretical and epistemological debates may be developed in the following issues. In addition to a marked interest in the development of theory, the journal was born out of an interest in offering a space for the publication of texts of a markedly ethnographic nature. Among its sections, the journal will offer a space for reviews of works of interest for the Anthropology of Food.

Published: December 2023

Langsa City is a city on the east coast of Aceh that has the fastest growth compared to the surrounding area. However, this has a significant impact on land conversion which reduces environmental quality. Analysis of changes in land use in Langsa City needs to be carried out as a basis for determining development policies. This study aims to analyze changes in land use in Langsa City from 2013 – 2021. The data used in this study are Landsat 8 OLI-TIRS imagery in 2013, 2017, and 2021. These images were analyzed using a supervised classification technique based on band combinations for each land use. The classified land uses are settlements, paddy fields, ponds, mangrove forests, and mixed vegetation. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the settlement area in the center of Langsa City. Meanwhile, other land uses have changed but not consistently. This study concludes that a significant increase in settlement area is due to rapid population growth. The increase in settlement area also has an impact on changes in other types of land use. The researcher recommends that a population growth study be carried out as a basis for determining regional spatial planning.

Circumstantial Evidence to Prove the Elements of Insider Trading in Malaysia and Australia
Authors: Che Kamaruddin Norhanan , Mohd Zahir Mohd Zamre , Mohd Ali Hasani
Published: December 2023

Insider trading, although might profit the offender himself, it nevertheless brings more harm to society than its benefits. Several elements need to be proved before a person can be convicted under insider trading. As this is not a strict liability offence, the elements of mens rea need to be proved and it is quite difficult to prove it by using direct evidence. Therefore, indirect evidence is produced before the court to charge a person with insider trading. This raises a question whether it is reliable and sufficient to hold a person liable under this offence. The objective of this research is to examine whether the circumstantial evidence may be accepted by the court in cases involving insider trading and to analyze how circumstantial evidence helps the court to decide the mens rea by deducing it from the offender’s behavior at the time of the commission of the offence. Qualitative methodology using primary sources such as statutes and cases is used to analyze the application of circumstantial evidence by the courts while secondary sources referred to are academic books and articles. It is found that most of the judges accepted circumstantial evidence to prove the elements of insider trading. It helps the court to understand the state of mind of the offender, decide who is an insider and determine the type of information whether it is material and generally available to the public. This research suggests that circumstantial evidence is necessary to assist the courts in the cases.
Enforcement Against Ponzi Scheme, The Fraudulent Method to Generate Easy Money in Malaysia
Authors: Binti Zulkhafri Siti Zalzaliza , Mohd Ali Hasani , Mohd Zahir Mohd Zamre , Hassan Muhamad Sayuti
Published: December 2023

Ponzi schemes are a type of investment fraud that offers investors great rates of return with no risk. Although various measures have been taken by law enforcement agencies as well as financial regulators to prevent this kind of problem, many people are still deceived by this kind of scheme. In Malaysia, there is no specific law mentioning Ponzi scheme. However, relevant laws such as the Penal Code, Financial Services Act 2013 and Direct Sales and Anti–Pyramid Scheme Act 1993 are some applicable laws that can be used to combat the Ponzi scheme. Hence, this article aims to examine the enforcement measures in Malaysia concerning illicit investment schemes and recommend various methods used by the United States and Australia for comparative purposes. Preventive measures and existing regulations used by the United States and Australia are also highlighted to compare the effectiveness of current enforcement done by the authorities in Malaysia. Findings show that despite Malaysia having a few laws in place to tackle this fraudulent scam, they are far from perfect. Therefore, more comprehensive regulations and strategies regarding this scheme are needed since it would assist the relevant authorities in preventing similar fraud. In conclusion, the Malaysian government needs to adopt proper regulation, education, and enforcement to reduce or prevent the number of Ponzi scheme cases in Malaysia. If left unaddressed, the situation will worsen, negatively affecting investors, creditors, and the public.

Authors: Azovskaya D. Yu. , Kulbakin D. E. , Choynzonov E. L. , Vasiliev D. N.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The main treatment option for malignant neoplasms of the head and neck is combined. However, survival rates are still relatively unchanged. The surgical stage of treatment leads to extensive defects that are eliminated through reconstructive technologies. Despite the priority of performing reconstruction at the same time, delayed reconstructions are still being discussed 6–12 months after surgical treatment; therefore, it is necessary to develop new methodological and practical approaches.

Aim. To determine the features of the delayed reconstructive-plastic stage in patients with malignant tumors maxillofacial region, evaluation of possible solutions for optimizing the stage.

Material and methods. The analysis of available literature sources was taken in the database Medline, Pubmed, eLibrary, etc. The 101 studies were found, 60 were used to write a systematic review.

Results. Delayed reconstructive plastic surgery should take into the possibility more complex and larger defects of soft and bone tissues during the reconstructive stage, previous surgery and/or radiation therapy create significant difficulties for the identification of recipient vessels. Computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies allow projecting the design and positioning of reconstructive material at the preoperative stage. Mandibular reconstruction is the most difficult, that isn’t achieve only an aesthetic result, but also to restore the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint. The development of specific complications hinders the improvement of the patient’s quality of life. In the early postoperative period is may develop necrosis of the flap, thrombosis of vascular pedicle, hematoma; in the late postoperative period plate extrusion is still one of the common complications, planning delayed reconstruction an important aspect is prevention or treatment of osteoradionecrosis. The combination of precarbohydrate loading and dalargin will allow to reduce the frequency of perioperative complications and improve the long-term results of surgical treatment.

Conclusion. Reconstructive treatment in patients with defects requiring postponed reconstructive surgeries is a complex problem which requires development of an integrated approach with detailed analysis of the existing defect and previous antitumor therapy.

Published: December 2023

O maracujazeiro amarelo é uma planta trepadeira com características de porte semi-lenhoso, nativa do sudeste do Brasil. Cerca de 60% da produção total do fruto é destinado ao consumo in natura,podendo ser utilizado em sobremesas (mouses), bebidas (sucos, coquetéis) e o restante às indústrias de processamento, sendo o suco o principal produto industrializado. O consumo do maracujá apreciado no mercado interno e externo, tornam o Brasil um dos grandes produtores do fruto. Apesar das boas condições edafoclimáticas do país, alguns fatores foram limitantes no meio agrícola,interferindo na produção do fruto nos últimos anos. A área colhida, quantidade produzida, rendimento médio e valor da produção foram altamente influenciados pelas instabilidades no campo e no mercado comercial. Diante disso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi mostrar o comportamento produtivo da cultura do maracujá-amarelo no Brasil ao longo de vinte anos. Através de uma revisão de literatura, foram coletados dados e informações científicas, em sites de instituição de dados estatísticos sobre o comportamento da produção de maracujá amarelo nos últimos 20 anos no Brasil. Os dados coletados, para o determinado estudo, foram os valores referentes à área colhida, em hectare (ha); produção, em tonelada (t); preço, em mil reais e rendimento da produção em quilogramas por hectare (kg.ha-1). Após tabulação dos dados, foram confeccionados gráficos e feito a análise do comportamento produtivo do maracujá-amarelo. A área colhida (hectares) e o valor da produção (mil reais), da cultura do maracujá-amarelo no Brasil estiveram em ascendência nos últimos vinte anos. A quantidade produzida em toneladas sofreu uma queda drástica entre 2000 e 2001, voltando a se recuperar a partir dos anos posteriores. O rendimento médio de maracujá-amarelo, teve um decréscimo entre os dois primeiros anos do início do século, se mantendo abaixo de 20 mil kg.ha-1, nos últimos vinte anos. Nos últimos anos, a cultura do maracujá foi influenciada devido à baixa tecnificação nos campos, bem como aos fatores climáticos e, principalmente, ao ataque de pragas e doenças. Diante disso, conclui-se que dentre as regiões, produtoras, o Nordeste é o maior produtor do Brasil de maracujá-amarelo, seguido do Sudeste como segundo maior produtor.

The article provides a linguistic and cultural analysis of Ukrainian translations of French literature. The study reveals important aspects of the transmission of artistic symbols and cultural realia by Ukrainian translators and their influence on the perception by Ukrainian readers. The relevance of the research is due to the growing volume of translations of French texts, the importance of quality translation and the study of linguistic and cultural aspects of translation. The results of the study indicate different translation strategies used by translators to convey the content and form of the original, as well as the importance of taking into account linguistic and cultural features when reproducing artistic images. The analysis of the translation of the poem “Chanson d’automne” by Paul Verlaine emphasizes the complexity of translating poetry and the need to preserve its stylistic and sound features.
International systems of classification of land cover and land use: features and prospects of use in landscape research
Authors:   Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, Tymuliak Liubov
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the paper is to review the international systems of classification of land cover and land use, which are most often used in landscape or related research in Ukraine – CORINE, LUCAS, EUNIS, LCCS, GlobeLand 30; to identify those features of each of the systems that may become a priority in landscape studies in different areas. Applying general scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, comparative), methodological and technical manuals representing the classification systems of land cover and land use have been studied. Domestic and foreign papers on landscape, ecology, cartography, in which the systems are used for solving applied tasks have also been examined. The use of one of the developed classification systems in a particular study depends on its purpose, scale, source data and details of field observation materials. Special attention is paid to the use of land cover maps to identify changes occurring within landscapes over a period of time. Classification systems, in the nomenclature of classes of which land use categories predominate, can be basic for works in the field of anthropogenic landscape science, and in the genetic field, the key categories of classification systems are categories of land cover. For recent research, the base is the map of landscape complexes, the rank of which depends on the scale of mapping the area. Field research also retains its decisive role. The use of land cover classification systems, which include field surveys, such as LUCAS and EUNIS, logically fits into large-scale research.

Authors: Arviyani Tiffany Nisa , Afifah Diana Nur , Noer Etika Ratna , Rahfiludin M. Zen , Mahati Endang
Published: December 2023

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) contain high iron (Fe) but low bioavailability of Fe because it contains calcium and tannins. Vitamin C in red guava fruit (Psidium guajava) can increase Fe absorption. Sorbet made from red guava and Moringa leaves can be an alternative to overcome iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. This study aims to analyze the level of acceptance, levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins, as well as the bioavailability of Fe sorbet made from red guava and Moringa leaves. Sorbet consists of 5 formulas including, F1 (strawberry sorbet), F2 (red guava sorbet), F3 (Moringa leaf sorbet), F4 (red guava sorbet + 18% Moringa leaves), and F5 (red guava sorbet + 22% Moringa leaves). Acceptance level was tested with the hedonic method (appearance, smell, taste, and texture) and statistically analyzed using Friedman and Wilcoxon test. The Fe and Ca were analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) method, vitamin C and tannins were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometry methods. Fe bioavailability test was performed using the inverted bowel bag method. The level of preference for each attribute was significantly different (p < 0.05). The level of preference chosen was F2. The mean levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins in F4 were 0.95 ± 0.14, 5.91 ± 0.73, 26.29 ± 0.13, and 135.65 ± 0.91 mg/100 g. The mean levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins in F5 were 0.21 ± 0.29, 6.03 ± 0.67, 46.72 ± 0.69, and 87.76 ± 0.40 mg/100 g. The highest Fe bioavailability was F5 while the lowest was F3. The best formula based on the parameters of preference, Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannin levels, as well as Fe bioavailability, was sorbet F5.

Summary. According to various authors, the incidence of preeclampsia (PE) in pregnant women in our country ranges from 8 to 20% and does not tend to decrease. It has been shown that the pathogenesis of preeclampsia fits into the systemic inflammatory response syndrome with disturbances in the immune system and an imbalance in cytokine regulation. The aim of the study was to study pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines in women with preeclampsia of varying severity. Material and methods. We examined 76 pregnant women with PE aged from 24 to 36 years at a gestation period of 28–38 weeks. Of these, 42 developed PE (main group), and 34 women had no symptoms of PE (comparison group). 28 women with a physiological pregnancy formed the control group. The levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-4 and IL-10) in blood serum were studied by ELISA. Results. In pregnant women with PE upon admission to the hospital, the blood serum levels of IL-1β increased by 1.3 times (p < 0.05), IL-8 by 7 times (p < 0.001) and a decrease in the level of IL-4 by 2 times (p < 0.001). And in pregnant women without signs of PE, these changes in cytokine synthesis were less pronounced (p < 0.01). Conclusion. Maintaining a dynamic balance in the cytokine system plays an important role for the normal development of pregnancy. Th2-type cytokines promote normal trophoblast differentiation and its full invasion and, therefore, mediate the prolongation of physiological pregnancy. Switching to the synthesis of Th1-type cytokines and their enhanced production leads to disruption of trophoblast differentiation and invasion with the development of pregnancy pathology.
La représentation des reprises nominales et des anaphores associatives par les Points De Vue : vers une description unifiée
Authors: Manuelian Helene
Published: December 2023

Les relations entre antécédent et reprises ou anaphores dans les suites référentielles ont souvent été décrites mais de façon isolée et hétérogène. Cet article présente une représentation unifiée de ces relations par le biais des points de vue tels qu’ils ont été décrits par Haillet (2007) et des stéréotypes. Après une présentation des notions de coréférence, d’anaphore associative, de point de vue sous-jacent et de stéréotypes, il présente une série d’exemples attestés qui permettent d’établir une typologie des relations entretenues par les éléments des suites référentielles. Cette étude permet aussi de montrer que la notion de point de vue sous-jacent est un outil supplémentaire dans l’analyse de la cohésion textuelle, puisque ces points de vue sous-tendent manifestement la relation entre antécédent et anaphore ou antécédent et reprise coréférentielle.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in men in developed countries. It is dependent upon androgens and could be effectively combated by androgen deprivation therapy. Reduction of androgen synthesis can be accomplished through the inhibition of the enzyme 17α-hydroxylase/17.20-lyase (CYP17A1), which catalyzes two sequential reactions in the production of androgens. Steroid derivatives modified with nitrogen-containing heterocycles attract attention as antineoplastic agents for prostate cancer treatment due to their inhibitory potential against CYP17A1.
AIM: Evaluate cytotoxic activity and antitumor effects of the synthesized alsevirone in comparison with abiraterone.
METHODS: Cytotoxicity was evaluated using MTT test. Anticancer effect was researched in vivo in prostate cancer xenograft models 22Rv1 and DU145 in Balb/c nude mice. Testosterone concentration was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in blood serum of BDF1 mice.
RESULTS: Alsevirone demonstrated cytotoxic activity in prostate cancer cells: DU145 (23.8±1.2 µM vs 151.4±23.7 µM for abiraterone), 22Rv1 (35.9±5.6 µM vs 109.9±35.2 µM for abiraterone) and LNCaP (22.9±0.5 µM vs 28.8±1.6 µM for abiraterone). Testosterone concentration in blood serum of BDF1 mice reduced by 80% after 10-day treatment. Inhibition of the tumors’ growth in 22Rv1 xenograft model was statistically significant when using alsevirone in comparison with the control group: average tumor volume was 171.6±50.1 mm3 (р=0.022) vs 424.2±70.3 mm3 in control, with tumor growth inhibition index of 59%.
CONCLUSIONS: Alsevirone has a higher cytotoxic potential against prostate cancer cells (DU145, LNCaP and 22Rv1) compared to abiraterone. Alsevirone demonstrated the ability to reduce the concentration of testosterone in the blood serum of BDF1 mice, and statistically significant antitumor activity in 22Rv1 xenograft models.
Induced or Natural? Toward Rapid Expert Assessment, with Application to the Mw 5.2 Peace River Earthquake Sequence
Authors: Salvage Rebecca O. , Eaton David W. , Furlong Carolyn M. , Dettmer Jan , Pedersen Per K.
Published: December 2023

Based on information available at the time, several questionnaire-based schemes have been developed to provide a qualitative assessment of whether a specific earthquake (or earthquake sequence) was likely induced by anthropogenic activities or is inferred to be natural. From a pragmatic perspective, the value of this assessment is arguably the greatest in the immediate aftermath of an event (hours to days), because it could then better serve to guide regulatory response. However, necessary information is often incomplete or uncertain, and there remains a lack of scientific consensus on the most distinctive attributes of induced (vs. natural) earthquake sequences. We present a case study of the Mw 5.2 Peace River earthquake sequence (Alberta, Canada), evaluated using two published frameworks for origin interpretation. The Alberta Energy Regulator initially considered the sequence to be natural, but a study published ~4 mo later came to the opposite interpretation. Prior to this publication, we convened a panel of experts who completed questionnaires as set out by the frameworks; results using both schemes indicate that experts believe the sequence was likely induced. Based on these expert responses, we critically evaluate information that was available publicly in the weeks to months following the mainshock on 30 November 2022; reassess the relative importance of various components of the questionnaires from a parsimonious, rapid-response perspective; and consider other types of information that could be critical for near-real-time assessment of whether an event was induced or natural.

Elementary school age is a period of physical growth and movement that plays an important role in the formation of quality individuals. Through physical movements in the form of games that continue to provide optimal development in children both cognitive maturity and motor development. Sports with a play-and-game system can increase the growth of neurons in the brain and stimulate the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus. Meanwhile, physical education learning in elementary schools is still teacher-centered and there is still a lack of variety of learning models. Based on the above problems, the play-and-game model can be used as a monotonous and less interesting learning solution. This learning is effective and innovative because it can provide learning experiences both from cognitive, motor, and affective aspects. Engaging in physical activity will positively affect all systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, hormonal, immunological, and nervous systems. In addition, a large development of the frontal and temporal lobes at the age of children 7-12 years. The brain will become more rapidly developed so that it will make faster cognitive improvement. The Play and game model can improve academic performance both in memory, memory, and learning.

Lumbar Plexopathy Due to a Gunshot Wound without Direct Trauma

Published: December 2023

Lumbar plexopathy resulting from gunshot wounds is rare and is typically associated with open or penetrating injuries. We report a case of lumbar plexopathy caused by a gunshot wound without direct trauma to the plexus. A 77-year-old woman visited the emergency room with a gunshot wound incurred accidentally by a hunter. The entry wound was located on the right lower back, with the exit wound on the left upper arm. The projectiles remained lodged in the paraspinal muscles and had not traversed the fractured vertebral body. Following an emergent left lower pulmonary lobectomy, the patient reported paresthesia and a tingling sensation on the lateral aspects of both thighs. Electrophysiological studies indicated bilateral upper lumbar plexopathy with direct injury to the paraspinal muscles. A low-velocity shotgun injury can transform into high-energy trauma due to the direct impacts of the projectiles, secondary shock waves, and cavitation effects. When neurologic symptoms manifest along a specific dermatome in the lower extremities after a gunshot wound to the lower back, clinicians should consider the possibility of plexopathy, even in the absence of direct trauma to the plexus.
