Published: April 2024

The sudden and unexpected war in Ukraine led to a large flow of citizens displaced abroad. Almost half of them are preschool- and school-age children. The peculiarities of their adaptation to the educational environment of another country necessitates the study of the main aspects of adaptation in these conditions. The aim is to identify the psychological and pedagogical aspects of adaptation to the educational environment of another country of school-age refugee children. The research included the use of surveys, questionnaires (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ), analysis of official information sources. The research found that the studied 203 children relocated to other countries have high rates of adaptation to the educational environment. Their performance indicators improved, high satisfaction with school, teachers, and relationships with classmates was revealed. The SDQ found a low overall level of adjustment difficulties (M=16.3, SD=1.9). The study showed that, in general, displaced Ukrainian children have high rates of adaptation to the educational space of other countries. They are emotionally stable, sociable, moderately hyperactive, have no behavioural disorders, and have high prosocial behaviour. The obtained results can contribute to the development of a programme to support Ukrainian children of immigrants to the educational environment of other countries, which will contribute to their psychological and pedagogical adaptation to it.

Authors: Bae HeeRa , Lee Kyung-Hwa
Published: April 2024

The objective of this study is to determine whether the parent-child relationship exerts a mediating effect on the influencing relationship of the self-concept of children and adolescents with career maturity. To this end, we processed data from 5621 students who participated in the first through fifth rounds of the survey in the 2013 Korea Education Longitudinal Study. We performed a paired sample t-test to verify differences between the groups of children and adolescents. To verify the mediating effect of the parent-child relationship on the influencing relationship of self-concept among children and adolescents with career maturity. The results showed that there was a difference depending on gender and city size in terms of self-concept, career maturity, and relationship. This study also revealed a significant discrepancy in the self-concept and parent-child relationship based on the developmental stages. In addition, the study also verified the mediating effect of the parent-child relationship in the relationship between the self-concept of children and adolescents and their career maturity. Based on these findings, it is necessary to implement a systematic education program for parents because the parent-child relationship is highly important in improving students’ career maturity.

Authors: Bull Ellegård Sara Elisabeth , Isaksen Jørn , Eldevik Sigmund
Published: April 2024

This study compared the outcome of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention when supervision was given over videoconference for half of the meetings. This started after 3 months of intervention. The participating children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and were randomly placed in either the videoconference group or in the onsite group. The dependent variables were autism severity, preferences for socially mediated stimuli and problematic behaviors. The independent variable was supervision onsite or by videoconference. The results showed no significant differences between the groups on any of the outcome measures. A limitation of this study was the small group sizes, which limits generalization of the results to other children and settings. Furthermore, the onsite group received some supervision sessions via videoconference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, our tentative conclusion is that supervision via videoconference has the potential to replace onsite supervision at least partially, but that larger scale research in a variety of settings is needed.

The ability to recognize and name the sounds of alphabet letters is a crucial prerequisite for students as they embark on their journey to learn how to read. Regrettably, some children face significant challenges in this area. In this single-case multiple baseline study, we utilized mnemonic pictures to facilitate the memorization of the grapheme-phoneme correspondence of ten target letters. Our aim was to empower four struggling first-grade students to quickly and confidently retrieve this information. The results reveal that the students significantly benefited from the intervention. Furthermore, the approach was perceived as attractive and helpful by both the four children and their teacher. The study concludes by reflecting on its limitations and discussing potential implications and future avenues of research.

Published: April 2024

The aim of the research is to identify the peculiarities of building reading skills in junior schoolchildren with ASD. The study involved the use of parent questionnaire survey to confirm the diagnosis of ASD (the Social Communication Questionnaire, SCQ), diagnosis of reading skills (the Standardized Assessment of the Reading Skills (SARS), Test of Operational Units of Reading), analysis of statistics from official sources. The study showed that the reading skills of children with ASD range mostly within the normative limits, but there are some children with low values. It was established that there are significant differences between the components of the reading skills of children with ASD and children with normative development for the parameters of reading comprehension (M = 4.2, SD = 1.4, t≤0.01), reading speed (M = 3.7 , SD = 1.6, t≤0.05), the method of reading (M = 6.4, SD = 1.9, t≤0.05) and the index of operational units of reading (M = 5.5, SD = 1 .8, t≤0.01). It was found that there is a correlation between the degree of manifestation of ASD in junior schoolchildren and their reading skills. The higher the manifestations of violations, the lower the indicators of reading skills. The study found that children with ASD have normatively developed reading skills at the level of their peers, but reading speed and reading comprehension are more difficult for them. Severe concomitant manifestations of ASD negatively affect the development of reading skills, which requires special conditions for the development of reading skills in children with ASD. The obtained results can contribute to the development of a programme of support for children with ASD at the level of school inclusive education with the involvement of relevant specialists in order to more fully include them in the educational space and ensure the development of a high level of the reading skills.

On the issue of the features and problems of using Chat GPT as artificial intelligence in jurisprudence
Authors: Osipov Mikhail
Published: April 2024

The subject of research in this article is the features and patterns of legal activity in comparison with the features and patterns of functioning of artificial intelligence systems, including systems based on Chat GPT technology. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features and patterns of legal activity, the features and patterns of functioning of artificial intelligence systems, including systems based on the Chat GPT technology, compare these patterns, and based on the comparison of these patterns, draw a conclusion about the degree applicability of artificial intelligence technologies for solving a particular class of legal problems. Research methods include the social experiment method, when Chat GPT was asked certain questions of a legal nature, answers to them were received and analyzed. Also during the study, general scientific research methods were used, such as analysis, synthesis, deduction, abstraction, generalization. These research methods were used to reveal the features and patterns of legal activity, the features and patterns of the functioning of artificial intelligence systems, as well as to draw conclusions about the degree of applicability of artificial intelligence technologies for solving a particular class of problems in jurisprudence.

During the study, it was found that artificial intelligence technologies based on Chat GPT in some cases are not very suitable for solving problems related to the application of legal norms to specific situations, due to the specific “thinking” of artificial intelligence systems, which in some cases does not allow one to distinguish so-called legal circumstances that are significant in a given situation, from legal circumstances that are not significant in a given situation, the inability in some cases to correctly qualify the legal relations of the parties and make the correct legal decision with reference to current legislation. The study also analyzed the capabilities of artificial intelligence based on Chat GPT technologies for solving problems in the field of lawmaking, application and interpretation of legal norms. It is concluded that in these areas, artificial intelligence technologies, including those based on Chat GPT, have a certain potential, provided that the associative connection built by artificial intelligence between the elements of legal reality contained in the texts corresponds to the ontological connection between the objects of legal reality.

Wigner functionals and ghost imaging.
Authors:   , Durgapersadh Akshay
Published: April 2024

This dissertation discusses Wigner functionals and an application, namely ghost imaging. Wigner functionals aim to provide more accurate measurement results due to the inclusion of all the degrees of freedom of light. The main concepts discussed are spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), the evolution equation for light through the SPDC crystal, the probability distribution for the ghost image, conditional probability distribution, and the point spread function. The ghost imaging calculation is done for the rational thin crystal and extreme thin crystal limits. It is shown that the probability distribution produced is the same for the rational thin crystal and extreme thin crystal limits, and consequently, the point spread function, and conditional probability distributions are the same.
Perceptions of racial microaggressions among university students: the notion of ‘white’ and ‘black’ cafes at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Howard College Campus.
Authors:   , Dladla Vuyelwa Lungile Nokwanda
Published: April 2024

While institutionalised racism was abolished in the 1990’s in South Africa, racism is still widely prevalent in our society. Although explicit forms of racism are often frowned upon today, more subtle and covert forms of racism exist and often go unnoticed. These subtle forms of racism are referred to as racial microaggressions, which, although hidden, communicate derogatory and racist ideas. There has been a wide range of research studies on racial microaggressions; however, most of these studies have been conducted with racial minorities in United States of America. Research on within-group racial microaggressions is fairly limited in the South African context, and the dynamics of minority versus majority groups are different. This study aims to explore how Black African students in a South African university perceive and experience racial microaggressions related to the racial division of spaces on campus, namely the notion of the ‘white’ café and ‘black’ café. An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach was used to capture students' perceptions and experiences through in-depth one-on-one semi-structured interviews with eleven black African students from various academic disciplines on the Howard College Campus. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using the IPA approach. Findings from this study suggest that the cafeterias serve as symbols of racial tensions among students on the campus and manifest in various ways, such as through intergroup dynamics, racial stereotypes and the general feeling of participants toward the racial division of spaces. Furthermore, data also suggests that the notion of ‘white’ café and ‘black’ café reflects South Africa's political history and the generational impact of centuries of racial oppression. Additionally, coupled with racial tensions and historical dynamics, the data further suggests that the idea of racialized spaces is associated with socioeconomic background, which speaks to issues of social class and wealth.
Designing T-cell epitope-based vaccine against Eimeria infection in chicken using immunoinformatics approach.
Authors:   , Madlala Thabile
Published: April 2024

Chicken coccidiosis is the most significant ubiquitous, intestinal parasitic disease known to infect chickens globally. It is recognised for incurring significant production loss to the poultry industry, caused by single or multiple Eimeria spp. infections which threaten chicken welfare and productivity. The emergence of drug resistance in parasites and pathogenicity reversion has put pressure on the poultry industry to reduce chemoprophylactic drugs and live vaccines as preventive measures against coccidiosis. Recombinant DNA vaccines have shown promising results as an alternative option, but complete protection has not been reported highlighting the need for the design of new vaccine against this disease. In this study, Eimeria antigens Immune Mapped Protein-1(IMP1) and Microneme Protein-2(MIC2) were explored using reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics tool to predict and design potential multiepitope vaccine candidate against coccidiosis. A total of 28 and 19 antigenic T-cell epitopes were predicted and used to construct two multiepitope vaccines with 610 and 512 amino acids for IMP1 and MIC2, respectively. The produced vaccines exhibited favoured characteristics for an ideal vaccine candidate; they were antigenic (Vaxijen score of 0.5989 and 0.5103), immunogenic (scores: 10.15 and 9 419), thermostable (instability index <40 ), and non-allergic. The presence of IFN-gamma and IL-4 inducing epitopes in the constructed vaccine enables vaccine to trigger a cellular and humoral response within the host. Molecular docking of designed vaccines with toll-like receptors (TLR4 and TLR5) to determine vaccine interaction and stability was confirmed by molecular dynamics simulation root-mean square deviation (RMDS) and root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) analysis. The designed vaccines induced immune response through production of cytokines and antibodies associated with tertiary response. When exposed to online immune simulation C-ImmSim, both vaccines produced potent immune response through production of IgG, Tc and Th cell and memory Bcells. The constructed multiepitope vaccine in this present study is highly promising and as such further experimental work should be done to confirm its suitability against chicken coccidiosis.

Vertical greenery in the city of Pekanbaru is very difficult to find because there are still many people who do not know the various benefits and uses of vertical greenery with limited land. This study focuses on the city of Pekanbaru at 10 locations found. The research location is in the District Limapuluh, District Pekanbaru City, District Marpoyan Damai with 2 location points. Area Sukajadi and in the District Bukit Raya each with 3 location points. This paper aims to examine perceptions, preferences, color freshness and plant density analyzed by SBE. Vertical greenery is generally found in cafes, hotels and included in the Pekanbaru Park service. The vertical greenery owned by the company in management is more maintained and aesthetically so that it gets the highest score. Meanwhile, the Pekanbaru office tends to be simple in design and many are neglected. The results showed that the people of Pekanbaru city were still unfamiliar with the existence of vertical greening. While the results of the evaluation of the aesthetic value show that the average vertical greenery in Pekanbaru City has a good aesthetic value at a moderate level. Both in terms of design, freshness of color and density level are influenced by several aspects such as structure, environment, activity intensity, type of plant vegetation and maintenance.

Authors: Larissa Furtado Abrantes , Joyce Lima de Sousa , Joel Messias Soares Ramos , Rafael Rodrigues Leite , Sávio Benvindo Ferreira
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Bacterial resistance is a threat to public health, as it is estimated that 37,000 people die due to hospital infections, most of them due to multidrug-resistant bacteria. In part, this resistance is due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, with ceftriaxone being one of the most used. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the consequences of using ceftriaxone in the hospital environment. Methodology: This is an integrative qualitative review, following the PICO strategy, using the Embase, BVS, and Pubmed databases, with the guiding question being: “In patients admitted to a hospital environment (P), is ceftriaxone used appropriately (I) for the treatment of infections (CO)?” and the time frame from 2013 to 2023. Results: 272 articles were found in total, 46 obtained from the VHL, 62 from PubMed, and 164 from Embase. Of these, 66 were duplicates, leaving 206 works for title and summary reading. After reading, 79 were selected for full reading, with 7 articles ultimately being selected for the study. An average of 62.3% of inappropriate use was found, with the minimum value found being 19% and the maximum being 87.9%. The main reasons for this use were: indication, dose, frequency, and duration. Conclusion: From reading the articles, it is concluded that the inappropriate use of ceftriaxone is mainly due to: indication, dose, frequency, and duration of treatment. These elements must be monitored, as their inappropriate use increases the length of hospital stay and may be associated with the emergence of bacterial resistance.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: the objective of this study was to assess the impact of physique on the stride pattern and performance of elite male 400-m hurdles runners. Materials and Methods: this study is based on the analysis of the performance of 297 male 400-m hurdlers in 13 Olympic games, 16 world championships, and 15 European championships. The hurdlers were divided into 4 groups, based on their height and body mass index (BMI) – taller and heavier (TH), taller and lighter (TL), shorter and heavier (SH), and shorter and lighter (SL). Times taken to complete various phases of the 400-m hurdles race – H0-1 (from starting line to hurdle 1), H1-3 (from hurdle 1 to hurdle 3), H3-5, H6-8, H8-10, and H10-F (from hurdle 10 to the finishing line) – were noted. Similarly, the number of strides to complete 3 inter-hurdle phases (H1-4, H4-7, and H7-10) was recorded. Results: The technical index (TI = time for 400m hurdles run – time for 400m flat run) was the lowest in TH, followed by TL, SL, and SH. The stride number increased from H1-4 to H7-10. Taller hurdlers took fewer strides than shorter ones. Only 8.5% of the hurdlers followed a uniform stride number (13 or 15). Conclusions: the physique of elite 400-m men hurdlers can vary widely. Taller hurdlers fly over hurdles more efficiently; a uniform stride pattern is independent of height and BMI, and is followed by a few hurdlers only, and physique has a significant impact on running performance at a few phases of the 400-m hurdles run.
How does rest Interval duration affect performance? An experiment on high-intensity sprint exercises
Authors: Akcan Ibrahim Orkun , Olmez Cengiz
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of interval and high-intensity sprint training (RST) with different rest intervals on the respiratory function, aerobic and anaerobic power. (2) Materials and Methods: The study involved the voluntary participation of 20 male participants. The participants were divided into two groups: 2IRG (2-minute rest between repeated sprints) and 4IRG (4-minute rest between repeated sprints). The changes in the respiratory function, aerobic, and anaerobic power parameters were examined in the 2IRG and 4IRG athletes who performed two training sessions per week for 4 weeks. (3) Results: The findings indicated that there was no improvement in the respiratory function among the athletes, but there was a significant improvement in aerobic and anaerobic power parameters. However, this improvement was similar in both the 2IRG and 4IRG groups. (4) Conclusions: A 4-week high-intensity interval training program with two RST sessions per week was insufficient to elicit improvements in the respiratory function. However, RST protocols with 2-minute and 4-minute rest intervals provided similar aerobic and anaerobic benefits.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a 10-week complex elastic band training (CEBT) program on athletic performance in junior female handball players. Methods: Participants (16.2 ± 0.5 years) were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG; n = 16) or control group (CG; n = 14). The IG group performed CEBT twice a week during the 10-week intervention, which included eight 35-minute sessions, progressing in number of sets and band resistance for each specific exercise. The CG maintained regular in-season training. The modified T-test (T-half), squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump (SLJ), repeated sprint ability (RSA), 1-RM bench press, 1-RM half squat, and force-velocity tests for both upper and lower limbs were as-sessed. Results: IG enhanced T-half [p < 0.001; d = 2.40 (large)]; jump [SJ (p = 0.001, d = 0.94 (large)), CMJ (p < 0.001, d = 1.34 (large), SLJ (p = 0.001, d = 0.91 (large))]; 3 of 4 RSA scores [p < 0.001, d = 1.59-1.70 (large)]; 1-RM bench press [p = 0.01, d = 0.68 (medium)] and 1-RM half squat [p = 0.02, d = 0.61 (medium)]; all force-velocity scores for the upper limbs [p ≤ 0.024, d = 0.60-2.30 (medium to large)]; and three of four force-velocity scores for the lower limb performance [p ≤ 0.001, d = 1.33-1.40 (large)] compared to the CG. Conclusions: CEBT performed twice a week, for 10 weeks, improves change of direction and jumping performance, RSA and muscular strength and power in junior handball athletes. There-fore, coaches and practitioners should consider utilizing CEBT as a time and resource-efficient means of improving youth handball players’ physical fitness.
Intermediality and the Politics of (Un)Making in Agnès Varda's Visages Villages
Authors: Morgan-Davies Jessica
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Agnès Varda and JR's 2017 documentary "Visages Villages" is an extended gesture toward a creative politics that privileges decentralized, communal, and constantly shifting authorial positions. The co-directors not only explore the French countryside in their creative endeavor, but also expand upon preconceived notions of what constitutes a creator and a creation. Using the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari as a theoretical framework, Varda and JR's interactions with space and place offer a radical and subversive transformation that necessarily multiples everything it touches. This multiplicity is enacted not only through a Deleuzean-Guattarian brand of corporeal movement, but through the consistent regeneration and recycling of individual texts and images, all of which coalesce into an endlessly transformative body of work that resists totalization even as it suggests that textual possibility.
"The lost boys of privilege": Triangulation and the End of History in Ben Lerner's The Topeka School
Authors: Lawrie Alexandra
Published: April 2024

Abstract: In Ben Lerner's 2019 novel The Topeka School , which is largely set in 1990s Kansas, the aggressive demeanor of protagonist Adam Gordon, a champion high school debater, closely resembles the confrontational style of Newt Gingrich. Yet Adam also draws on Clinton's strategy of triangulation in an attempt to synthesize two sides of his personality: the hypermasculine front he presents to his friends, and the sensitive pro-feminist harboring poetic ambitions. Lerner applies geopolitical terminology drawn from the recently ended nuclear threat and from the "end of history" concept, to the descriptions of violence and anomie among the novel's teenage boys; this further underlines Adam's internal conflict regarding his masculinity. Adam eventually grows disillusioned with these hypermasculine norms, and when he reflects back on this period two decades later, he draws some stark parallels between the combative political tactics of 1990s Republicans, which his teenage friends had sought to emulate, and the licensing of extreme behaviors under Trump's presidency.
Family Demographics, Somatic Symptoms and Problem Gambling Among Students in a Nigerian Institution
Authors: Fasesan OA , Afe TO
Published: April 2024

Background: Problem gambling is becoming a potential public health epidemic in southwest Nigeria. Individuals with gambling problems are underdiagnosed and relatively under-recognised. Hence, they rarely present with complaints of gambling problems at clinics. The family plays a significant role in identifying and managing persons with gambling addiction. Healthcare professionals need to have a high index of suspicion and understanding of the relationships between family demographics and the presentation of somatic symptoms among high-risk groups.
Objective: To assess the relationships between family demographics, somatic symptoms, and gambling problems among Nigerian tertiary educational institution students. 
Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out among 183 students of a tertiary education institution in Ogun State, southwest Nigeria. The Southern Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) were the tools used to assess the pattern of gambling and somatic symptoms, respectively.
Results: The prevalence of gambling disorder was 23% (42/183). There was a significant relationship between somatic symptoms and problem gambling (p = 0.02). The predictors of probable gambling were a positive family history of gambling (OR = 3.64, p = 0.01, CI = 1.34-9.90), gender (OR = 0.36, p = 0.02, CI = 0.15-0.86) and a decreasing level of the father's education (OR = 2.78, p = 0.02, CI = 1.15-6.71). At the same time, monthly allowances (OR= 1.01, p = 0.07) and somatic symptoms were not predictors of problem gambling (OR = 0.41, p = 0.17).
Conclusions: Healthcare professionals need a high index of suspicion when evaluating young persons with somatic symptoms.
SPECIAL VOCABULARY OF THE UKRAINIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES AS AN OBJECT OF LINGUISTIC RESEARCH ON THE EXAMPLE OF MILITARY TERMINOLOGY
Authors:   National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine, Ukraine, Romanova Oksana
Published: April 2024

In terminology, studies of the specifics of the formation and development of individual sectoral terminologies based on their own language resources or borrowings have been noticeably intensified, and the interest of scientists in the issue of clarifying the theoretical foundations of terminology as a whole has increased. This approach contributed to the articulation of language connections with various spheres of human activity, but did not completely exhaust the problem of organizing all terminological systems, their systematization and standardization, forecasting trends of future development. The study made an attempt to understand the complex issues of the theory of the term, the essence of the term as a linguistic unit. The purpose of the work is to analyze the issue of "term" as a linguistic unit. The difference between the term and the nomenclature is theoretically substantiated. A proposal for defining the nomenclature as a linguistic unit has been submitted. On the example of military terminology, professionalisms and their types are considered, definitions of professionalisms, synthetic and analytical terms are given. The study provides an overview of the linguistic works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists who considered the linguistic terminology of the 20th – early 21st centuries. The subject of the study is the structural and lexical-semantic parameters of language units in modern Ukrainian and English military terminology. The following research methods were used: descriptive-analytical, comparative-comparative and quantitative. Definitional analysis and methods of component analysis are used. The work also states that the lexical component of Ukrainian- and English-language scientific texts consists of terms, neologisms, and neonyms. Terms in the vocabulary of the language play a significant role. Professional vocabulary constitutes a significant part of the language fund; therefore, it is natural that linguists attach great importance to the study of the regularities of term formation, their structure and semantics, aspects of location, translation issues; consider terminology as an important component of modern literary language.
