Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Kim Jin Kyung , Nam Youn Jung , Lee Eun Kyung
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to identify research trends related to the self-leadership of early childhood teachers, in order to provide foundational data for future research. For this purpose, 50 papers related to self-leadership of early childhood teachers published in academic journals registered by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) from January 2009, when research targeting early childhood teachers began to be published in academic journals, to October 2023, were selected for analysis to determine general trends, the research design, related variables, and research results were analyzed as criteria. The main research results are as follows. First, research on self-leadership for early childhood teachers has been consistently published every year, but there have been no clear trends of increase or decrease. The majority of research subjects were daycare teachers at 42.0%, studies investigating a single region at 46.0%, and studies involving cases with from 200 to 300 people were the largest at 50.0%. Second, with regard to research design, the majority of studies treated self-leadership as an independent variable (56.0%), and all 50 studies were quantitative research. The scales used in the study were mainly adapted and modified overseas scale, and 82.0% of the studies did not verify the validity of the scales. As a hypothesis testing method, 74.0% of studies conducted regression analysis to verify the influence of self-leadership. Third, the variables adopted as dependent variables of self-leadership were teaching profession-related variables such as teaching orientation, role performance, and job satisfaction, which accounted for the most at 52.3% of all studies. The variables adopted as independent variables of self-leadership were internal personal variables such as the teacher's self-concept and ego-resilience, which accounted for the most at 65.2% of all studies. Most of the research results reported positive effects, but differences between researchers were reported in some variables. In this study, it was proposed that research on the self-leadership of early childhood teachers should incorporate a variety of research methods, including literature review, qualitative research, and field studies. Additionally, there is a need to explore reliability and validity, as well as to conduct research on the development of self-leadership enhancement programs. There has not been much research examining the trends in self-leadership among early childhood teachers. This study is significant in that it attempts to analyze the trends and characteristics of research on the self-leadership of early childhood teachers in Korea.

Authors: Kanafi Imam , Mujahid Imam , N Irfan A , Bakhri Syamsul
Published: April 2024

Radicalism that has entered universities has now camouflaged into a movement through activities that do not symbolise religion and utilise technology to enter the academic community. This is a resistance from radical groups who have now been muzzled by various campus policies that make it difficult for them to carry out direct movements. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach that is analysed using cultural identity theory. The results of this study are that the campus in Java has various Islamic traditions, moderation parks, places of worship for all religions as a symbol of resistance to radical groups and as a place to teach interfaith tolerance to students. Extra-campus organisations are very influential on the development of tolerance and religious moderation of students, depending on the campus organisations that thrive in universities that control intra-campus student institutions, their power is getting bigger. Universities in Central Java have strict policies and prevention of radicalism cases in the academic community.

Published: April 2024

The relevance of the study on teaching robotics in primary school is due to the digitalization trends of modern society and the need to prepare children for a new technological era. The objective of the study is to identify what organizational, administrative and pedagogical conditions are necessary to make teaching robotics effective in primary school. The article hypothesizes that educational robotics taught as an extracurricular educational activity prompts personal development of younger schoolchildren only if the school has an inspiring and creative atmosphere, and the relationships between the participants of the educational process are based on the principles of cooperation pedagogy. Participants: second grade students (n = 80) of “Governor’s Engineering Lyceum No. 102” Ulyanovsk, aged from 7 to 9 (M=8.3 years, SD= 0.458), 52.5% – boys, 47.5% – girls. Methods (tools). A set of diagnostic techniques was used to assess the pedagogical effectiveness of educational robotics: the “Magic Flower” technique (M. R. Ginzburg) was used to identify students’ dominant type of motivation; the “Sequence of Events” technique (A. N. Bernstein) was used to assess intellectual abilities, logical thinking, generalization abilities; parents (n=80) were surveyed with the help of the questionnaires “The Map of Giftedness” (Robert F. DeHaan, Jack Kough) and “Diagnostics of Creative Abilities” (F. Tutl, L. Becker) to assess the creative potential of children, the expression of their abilities and inclinations for various types of activities. In order to identify the organizational, administrative and pedagogical conditions for the effectiveness of educational robotics, interviews were conducted with primary school teachers (n=18); additionally, such methods as participant observation and the analysis of pedagogical experience were used. Results. The pedagogical impact of teaching robotics to younger schoolchildren was revealed. The methodological, psychological, pedagogical, organizational and administrative conditions for the effectiveness of teaching robotics in primary school were determined. The main conclusions. Robotics in primary school can be taught as both an educational and extracurricular activity. To identify and develop the abilities of students in the field of technical design, an educational organization needs an innovative material base, methodological support, and a sufficient level of professional competence of the teaching staff. Cooperation between schools, institutions of additional education and high-tech enterprises is recommended. It is important that the interaction between the participants of the educational process is built on the principles of cooperation pedagogy in order to stimulate the creative activity of students and motivate them to participate in exhibitions and project competitions.

This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess and compare patient satisfaction and sedation outcomes in bronchoscopy procedures using two distinct sedation protocols: fentanyl/chlorpheniramine (FC) and ketamine/chlorpheniramine (KC). Ninety patients undergoing simple bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage were randomly assigned to receive either FC (1 µg/kg fentanyl and 10 mg chlorpheniramine) or KC (0.5 mg/kg ketamine and 10 mg chlorpheniramine). Lidocaine was also administered during bronchoscopy. Primary outcomes included patient satisfaction scores, while secondary outcomes encompassed sedation levels, bronchoscopist satisfaction, cough rates, lidocaine usage, and physiological parameters. Patients in the FC group exhibited significantly higher satisfaction levels compared to the KC group (P=0.002). Bronchoscopist satisfaction was also superior in the FC group (P=0.001). Although cough rates did not differ significantly, severe persistent coughs were more prevalent in the KC group. Physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation were comparable, but the KC group demonstrated higher increases in systolic blood pressure and heart rate. The use of fentanyl/chlorpheniramine resulted in higher patient and bronchoscopist satisfaction during simple bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage compared to ketamine/chlorpheniramine. This study suggests that the combination of fentanyl and chlorpheniramine may be a preferable sedation choice for bronchoscopy procedures.

Published: April 2024

Propofol is an advantageous agent for anesthesia induction. It can cause dose-related hemodynamic adverse effects. The bispectral index (BIS) is a brain function monitor utilized to assess the depth of anesthesia. This study aimed to compare the adverse hemodynamic effects of BIS-guided response dosing with conventional weight-based dosing of Propofol. In this clinical trial, patients were anesthetized with propofol in two different orthopedic operating rooms. In one operating room, patients received propofol with dose-response method (group A), and the other received weight-based dosing (group B). For both groups, BIS was used as an index of anesthesia depth. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded at baseline, during induction, and at different time points. A total of 73 patients were included in the final analysis. The mean dose of propofol for induction was higher in the control group than in the response-guided group (1.94±1.65 vs. 1.09±0.32, respectively, P=0.006). There were no reported significant adverse hemodynamic effects in patients of the two groups. Response-guided propofol dosing can be used to decrease propofol dose during anesthesia induction. Further studies are needed to investigate the clinical benefit of this dosing strategy.

Authors: Nataj Majd Masoomeh , Tahery Asma , Erfani Raziyeh
Published: April 2024

The present study evaluates the association between epidural analgesia and the duration of the active phase of labor and pregnancy outcomes in mothers with high body mass index (BMI). All term pregnant women undergoing epidural analgesia for pain-free labor entered the study from September 2016 to March 2020. After recruiting 300 subjects into the study, mothers were categorized into six groups based on their BMI levels. Each BMI sub-group was analyzed regarding the duration of the active phase of labor and delivery mode. In addition, the relationship between BMI and labor outcome and characteristics was studied. Overall, 300 laboring women with epidural analgesia were included. 79.3% had a vaginal delivery, and 20.7% undergo cesarean section. Different BMI sub-groups showed no significant difference regarding the duration of the active phase of labor under epidural analgesia. Cox regression analysis revealed that BMI had no significant effect on the length of the active phase of labor (P=0.787). No significant association was found between BMI and the cesarean delivery rate, uterine atony, maternal pyrexia, neonatal Apgar score, and NICU hospitalization rate. However, BMI was significantly associated with the incidence of dystocia and headache. labor with dystocia exhibited a significantly higher Mother’s BMI (P<0.05). The results suggest no significant association between epidural analgesia and the active phase of labor duration in mothers with high BMI.

Authors: Nazemian Yazdi Nader Ali , Yoosefi Abolghasem
Published: April 2024

Hemodynamic changes is of great concern during awake intubation, particularly in patients with underlying medical conditions. As heterogeneities exist in regard to the best anesthesia drugs and techniques, herein, we aimed to investigate the effects of Lidocaine 10% spray compared to trans tracheal glossopharyngeal nerve block in hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing awake intubation. A total of 62 patients were included in this randomized clinical trial. Using a longitudinal interventional design, hemodynamic measures were statistically compared before intubation, one minute after intubation, and five minutes after intubation. The first group underwent topical anesthesia with Lidocaine 10% sprayed on the base of tongue and tonsillar pillar while the second group underwent trans tracheal and glossopharyngeal nerve block with simultaneous injection of Lidocaine 2%. Our results indicated that all hemodynamic parameters except for the pulse rate in both groups were significantly reduced after the intubation, which indicates the effectiveness of the interventions. However, the reduction in SBP, DBP, and MAP was significantly lower in the nerve block group compared to the Lidocaine spray group. Regarding the pulse rate, despite the significant decrease in the group of patients undergoing nerve block, those undergoing anesthesia with Lidocaine spray experienced a significant increase in the heart rate in the first minute after the operation. Finally, our research provides substantiation that employing a glossopharyngeal nerve block and trans tracheal block constitutes an efficacious method for local anesthetic during conscious intubation and can be a promising technique.

Authors: Imanei-Avaz Mahmoud , Hashemi Azam Sadat , Ghasemi Nasrin , Hekmati Moghaddam Seyed Hossein , Pourrajab Fatemeh , Barzegar Kazem , Vakili Mahmood
Published: April 2024

Background: DNA methylation is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) which are encoded by DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B. DNMTs play a major role in the abnormal methylation of tumor suppressors and cancer-related genes. Herein, this study explored the expression profile of DNMTs in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), before and after methotrexate (MTX)/mercaptopurine (6-MP) treatment.
Materials and Methods: This before-after prospective study included 30 matched children in sex and age (20 children with B-cell ALL and 10 healthy children used as a control or calibrator group). The expression profile of DNMTs was assessed at two-time points; at the diagnosis time and after MTX/6-MP treatment in the consolidation-maintenance phase of therapy. Notable, all pediatric patients included in this study continued the therapy without adverse events, except two children who were excluded from the study.
Results: The average age of the patient group was 7.1 ± 1.3 years (in the range of 4-9 years), and the average age of the control group was 8.3 ± 1.7 years (6-10 years). The expression profile of DNMTs in B-cell ALL children was obtained completely different from that in the healthy group. After MTX/6-MP treatment of B-cell ALL children, the expression levels of DNMT1 and 3A were increased (p <0.01 & 0.04, respectively), and the expression level of DNMT3B was decreased (p <0.01), significantly.
Conclusions: In ALL, the expression profile of DNMTs would be changed whereby contribute to abnormal growth and maturation capacity of leukemic stem cells and MTX/6-MP treatment could reverse this profile from a cancerous phenotype to the normal one.

Authors: Khazaei Mohammad Rasool , Kamali Hossien , Khazaei Mozafar
Published: April 2024

Background: Due to the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs in cancer patients, thrombocytopenia can lead to bleeding. Trifolium pratense L. is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory compound for the treatment of various diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of T. pratense (red clover) extract (TPE) on thrombocytopenia and the related factors in a rat model of chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental in vivo study, 28 rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven members (four males and three females) including Group1 as the control subjects, Group2 as thrombocytopenia cases, and Groups 3 and 4 with thrombocytopenic animals receiving TPE (100 and 200 mg/kg). Thrombocytopenia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CP) on three consecutive days. Then, the TPE was fed to rats for 14 days. At the end of the study, the rats' weight was measured. Blood samples were collected, complete blood count (CBC) was performed, and PF4 and clotting time were measured. After the dissection of the animals, the bone marrow and spleen were separated, and hisopathological changes were determined. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and a post-hoc Tukey test.
Results: Cyclophosphamide decreased the platelets and the white blood cells (WBCs) and increased PF4 and the clotting time significantly (P < 0.05). Also, TPE significantly increased the platelets and the WBC counts but decreased the time of clotting and the PF4 factor (P < 0.05). TPE increased megakaryocyte (P < 0.001) and enhanced the bone marrow and spleen cellularity.
Conclusion: T. pratense can increase the number of platelets and WBCs and improve thrombocytopenia and bone marrow cellularity induced by chemotherapy.

Background: It is of paramount significance to address the needs of parents who have children with cancer. This research aims to analyze the health information needs of families with children suffering from cancer in Yazd city.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on a total of 248 individuals from families whose children underwent cancer treatment at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. The participants were selected through a non-random, purposeful, and voluntary sampling method. The data were collected using a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 48 items. The data analysis was performed with the SPSS software version 25 and through t-tests, chi-square, ANOVA, and correlation analyses.
Result: Through a meticulous comparison of the scores obtained with a predetermined threshold of 3, all levels of information needs were satisfactorily met. However, it became evident that the parents needed more information to be given by the treatment staff regarding cancer and called for social, economic and spiritual support (p≤0.5). Moreover, the study identified and prioritized the information needs based on the average scores across the four examined factors. The highest-priority need was identified as “the information about cancer provided by the treatment staff"(2.99±0.7). The second most important need was found to be "social, economic and spiritual support"(2.98±0.7). The third priority was assigned to “the accessibility and exchange of relevant health information"(2.77±0.62). Lastly, the fourth priority pertained to"health facilities, services and counseling"(2.61±0.63). Furthermore, the independent t-test revealed that the average score on the total health information needs of the families with cancer-affected children was significantly higher for the women (140.5±20.4) than for the men (117.7± 11.55).
Conclusion: When handling children with cancer, it is crucial for the treatment staff to provide information about cancer and give social, economic and spiritual support in order to fully meet the information requirements of the families involved.

The Phenomenon of Debt-loving Behavior Through the Islamic Worldview Perspective and Literacy in the Digital Era
Authors: Nurul Fadhilah Lamya , Ghozali Abdul Malik
Published: April 2024

The existing cultural problem of debt-loving behavior is slowly growing as a societal norm driven by an insatiable need to satisfy an individual’s worldly desires. In Islam, it is considered more favorable to incur debt in situations of emergency. Consequently, researchers want to examine the factors contributing to the prevalence of debt-loving behavior in the contemporary digital era, alongside exploring the Islamic perspective on addressing this situation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. The findings indicate that multiple reasons contribute to an individual’s affinity for debt. These aspects include 1) excessive consumptive behavior; 2) impulsive buying tendencies; 3) perceiving debt as a societal trend; 4) lack of financial literacy; and 5) being influenced by one’s worldview.
