Authors: BODUR Alper , SEVİM KOŞAN Naide , GÖRMÜŞ Yeşim
Published: December 2020

Architecture students experience some deficiencies in the applicability of the structures they designed in the project studios. Some supporting lessons are given during the training to overcome these deficiencies. In these lessons, model making becomes an essential reinforcement to learning in building construction lessons. In this study, a model-making method is used to increase the three-dimensional visual perceptions of architecture students and to improve their acquisition styles. The study's scope consists of 1/10 scale and 30x30 cm-scale model studies applied in the Building Information I course given in the Fall Semester of the 2019-2020 Academic Year in the Department of Architecture of Ondokuz Mayıs University. The study aimed to equip students with information that they can use in both forward-looking design and model studies. Besides, a questionnaire study was carried out to determine the contribution of the research to students. The results of the questionnaire revealed that the subjects covered in the course were better comprehended. The level of knowledge about building materials increased, and the study was also useful in the project lessons. In this context, it is revealed that performing model applications in building information courses in architectural education will provide an outstanding contribution and advantage. In conclusion, some succinct suggestions are made on the course content and the curriculum of the departments.

Sustainable Professional Development of Primary School Mathematics Teachers in Zimbabwe Through Philosophy of Education 5.0: Challenges and Prospects
Authors: Chirume Silvanos
Published: December 2020

Teacher training colleges and universities in Zimbabwe currently fall under the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development (MHTESTD) whose mission is to develop and deliver a knowledgeable and skilled human capital through higher and tertiary Education 5.0, science and technology development using a heritage based philosophy, for the production of quality goods and services. The core values of the Ministry are integrity, humility, innovation and productivity. The philosophy of Education 5.0 system is centred on five pillars which include teaching, research, community service, innovation and industrialisation while the previous 3.0 design was centred on three aspects which are teaching, research and community service. Thus, teachers who are being trained at Zimbabwe’s colleges and universities will be required to acquire skills and knowledge to produce goods, services and ideas and also to impart such knowledge and skills to their learners. The mathematics curriculum inclusive of the syllabi, schemes of work and timetables at a teacher training institution in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe was critically analysed. Two randomly selected lectures in progress were observed and five purposively chosen lecturers interviewed. The study addresses the questions of whether and to what extent Education 5.0 is being realised, the challenges currently being faced and the future prospects of the philosophy. The paper concludes by giving recommendations for sustainable professional development of primary school mathematics teachers in Zimbabwe.

İletişim tüm boyutlarıyla ele alındığında dildeki dört temel beceride kendisine yer bulur. Bu beceriler sırasıyla dinleme, okuma, konuşma ve yazmadır. Söz konusu çalışmada bireyin edindiği ilk dil becerisi olan ve yıllardır göz ardı edildiği düşünülen dinleme becerisi ele alınmıştır. Bu araştırmada 2017 yılından 2019 Aralık ayına kadar olan dinleme ile ilgili makaleler araştırılmış ve toplamda elde edilen 42 makale incelenmiştir. Bu makaleler; yıl, konu, örneklem ve yöntem bakımından kategorize edilip çeşitli yorumlar yapılmıştır. Yapılan araştırma nitel bir çalışma olup doküman inceleme yöntemiyle şekillenmiştir. Doküman incelemeyle elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yapılarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Araştırmaya konu olan makaleler Google Akademik, Dergipark ve YÖK Akademik veri tabanlarından elde edilmiştir. Bu veri tabanlarında arama yapılırken sadece “dinleme” anahtar kelimesi kullanılmış ve çıkan sonuçlardan sadece Türkçenin ana dili eğitimiyle ilgili olan makaleler araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda okul öncesi ve ilkokul çağında dinleme ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların oldukça az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dinlemenin bireyde edinilen ilk beceri olduğu bilindiğinden bu sonuç oldukça düşündürücüdür. İncelenen makalelerde en çok ele alınan konu, dinlemede yöntem-tür ve tekniklerdir. Söz konusu çalışmalarda en fazla nicel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen çalışmaların örneklem grupları incelendiğinde çalışmaların daha çok ortaokul öğrencileriyle yapıldığı görülmüştür. Bu veriler ışığında dinleme becerisinin daha kapsamlı şekilde ele alınması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
Managing Fiscal Risks from State-Owned Enterprises
Authors: Baum Anja , Medas Paulo , Soler Alberto , Sy Mouhamadou
Published: December 2020

Ensuring that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are efficient and managed prudently is important for economic and social reasons. It is also crucial to contain fiscal risks and reduce the burden on taxpayers from recurrent and large bailouts. Governments need to develop stronger capacity to monitor and mitigate the risks from SOEs. We present a risk tool to benchmark the performance of SOEs relative to their peers and assess their vulnerabilities, including through stress tests. A strategy to mitigate risks requires the right incentives for managers to perform and for government agencies to conduct effective oversight. Incorporating SOEs in overall fiscal targets would promote greater fiscal discipline and transparency.
Are Bilateral Trade Balances Irrelevant?
Authors: MacDonald Margaux , Piazza Roberto , Eugster Johannes , Jaumotte Florence
Published: December 2020

Based on an empirical gravity model of sectoral bilateral trade, we uncover three features of bilateral trade balances. First, the difficulty of gravity models in fitting the observed level of bilateral balances is likely due to the presence of unobservable bilateral trade costs. Second, the model fit improves drastically when we focus on changes over time of the balances. Third, using a log linear approximation we show that changes in bilateral trade balances over the past two decades were driven almost entirely by changes in the same macro factors that determine countries’ aggregate balances – changes in bilateral trade costs, including tariffs, played therefore only a negligible role. This conclusion provides new support for the view that bilateral balances are, for practical purposes, not relevant to the conduct of macroeconomic policy.

В статье рассматриваются принципы  гармонизации цветов и закономерности их  комбинаций  в аспекте экологического подхода в дизайне среды. Экологический подход к проектированию представляет собой определенный срез мыслей и образ действий, задающий ориентацию проектной деятельности.
Экологический и художественно-образные аспекты, используемые с целью обогащения возможностей дизайнерского творчества, являются важнейшими компонентами синтетического проектного мышления. Создание специальных эвристических методов проектирования на основе раскрытия синтетического характера проектного мышления позволяет использование природной экосистемы для создания целостности объекта дизайна. Популярность данного метода при проектировании достигается многими факторами, с его помощью воссоздается природная, гармоничная среда, которая включает признаки и закономерности цветовых гармоний на основе различных природных биосистем и их воздействие на эмоциональное состояние человека в общественном интерьере. Современный интерес к цвету почти целиком носит визуально-материальный характер и игнорирует смысловые и духовные переживания. Проектируя общественные пространства нужно учитывать, что дизайн опирается на научное знание, находясь на перекрестке многих дисциплин, он приобщает к ним всех, кто следует его законам и проектирует, соотнося с ними результаты своей деятельности. Экологический подход к проектированию, основанный на когнетивном процессе осмысления природной формы, демонстрирует преодоление парадигмальных измерений при создании дизайна интерьера.
Когнитивное отношение к природной среде формирует способность человека преобразовывать мир по законам красоты, целесообразности и не отрываться от природных корней, чутко относиться к среде обитания, являться ее неотъемлемой частью. При этом имеется в виду, что указанные установки не отрываются от задач креативных поисков современных инновационных решений. В этом реализуется неисчерпаемый творческий потенциал гармонизирующей проектной деятельности. Проектирование становится экспрессивной, коммуникативной формой истолкования окружающего мира и общества, его ментальной, сенсорной и духовной деятельности.

ЕСТРАДОЗНАВСТВО – НАУКА ПРО ЕСТРАДНЕ МИСТЕЦТВО
Authors: Samaya Tetyana
Published: December 2020

У статті актуалізується проблема об’єктивно визначити місце сучасної естради в національному культурному просторі, в цьому контексті розбираються поняття «елітарне мистецтво» і «масова культура». Аналізується рівень присвячених заданій тематиці наукових розвідок представників академічного спрямування та дослідників естради. Порушуються питання специфічних рис естради, що знаходять відображення у її різножанровості і не мають місця в інших видах сценічного мистецтва. Пропонується легітимація у вітчизняному науковомуі поле поняття «естрадознавство» як напряму мистецтвознавства, що вивчає естрадне мистецтво, його особливості й загальні динамічні процеси, пов’язані з розвитком національного мистецтва естради, а також вказані концептуально-методологічні основи нової для України мистецької науки. Спираючись на праці дослідників естради, визначено та охарактеризовано сім базових засад естрадного мистецтва – відкритість, легкість, синтетичність, лаконізм, імпровізаційність, мобільність, індивідуальність. Відкритість естради ґрунтується на активному діалозі артиста з глядацьким залом; легкість окреслює специфіку сприйняття естрадного твору, що не потребує попередньої підготовки глядача; синтетичність обумовлює поєднання в естрадному номері елементів різних видів мистецтв; лаконізм передбачає високу концентрацію у творі як змістовності, так і засобів акторської виразності; імпровізаційність є креативною складовою сценічної поведінки артиста естради, його відкритістю на ту чи іншу реакцію публіки; мобільність передбачає здатність артиста до виконання сценічної діяльності за будь-яких умов (професійна мобільність) та оперативне реагування на запити суспільства (соціальна мобільність); індивідуальність артиста виявляється у постійному пошуку оригінальності, самобутності, індивідуальної виконавської манери, власного сценічного образу. Зазначено, що базові засади естрадного мистецтва є універсальними для усіх його видів та жанрів. Конкретизуються відмінності естрадного мистецтва і світової індустрії розваг (шоу-бізнесу), яка є складовою масової культури. Відзначається дефіцит українських спеціалістів-естрадознавців, зокрема фахівців з вокальної естради у освітньому процесі підготовки молодих естрадних артистів.

Karlo Zvirynskyi and his «Underground Academy»: Reflections of Cultural Memory
Authors: Som-Serdyukova Olena
Published: December 2020

Karlo Zvirynskyi (1923-1997) was an outstanding personality and great artist. His influence on the Lviv cultural environment in the 1960s–1990s was indisputable. Zvirynskyi was a quiet man rooted in his own research fields, but the awareness of his actions formed a strong environment in the aesthetics of the European art and ethical norms of Christianity. The artist's undiverted view on European culture was related to the understanding of processes that cannot be guided ideologically, as well as the realization that culture exists in continuity, and reflects aesthetical and ethical forms of human activity. His search for a European cultural tradition and the reprobation of foundations of socialist realism played an important role in the formation of his “underground academy”. Zvirynskyi’s primary goal was the education of creative young people as citizens, whose consciousness would enable them to remain artists in defiance of the enticing society. The circle of his students embraced Zinoviy Flinta, Andriy Bokotey, Oleh Minko, Liubomyr Medvid, Roman Petruk, Ivan Marchuk and Bohdan Soyka. Our task, for now, is not to embalm the legacy of his “underground academy”, but create the cultural space, where intellectual reflections can take place. Karlo Zvirynskyi understood his stand in life as “I look at life through the prism of a book” and his artistic position as “all my painting is a prayer”. Attitude to his own life as a part of a holistic cultural flow has formed his worldview. The cultural memory of generations that accumulates “modernity” played for the artist a territory of freedom, which has always been a criterion of human nature for Zvirynskyi. Realizing that memory about Karlo Zvirynskyi is a kind of tuning fork for the moral health of the nation, this article is an attempt to bring knowledge about the master from the chamber community, which resembles the mechanisms of catacomb culture, in a wider and more open space that will use his name as part of the national cultural landscape.

Історико-героїчний епос українців на сучасній естраді в інтерпретації Тараса Житинського
Authors: Karas Hanna
Published: December 2020

Представлення історико-героїчного епосу українців на сучасній естраді є поодиноким явищем, тому метою нашого дослідження є висвітлення цієї проблематики у творчості рок-музиканта, автора-виконавця Тараса Житинського. На основі звукозаписів співака, особистого спілкування з ним, музичної критики та публіцистики, які є джерельною базою дослідження, зроблена спроба узагальнення творчого доробку митця в цьому напрямку.

Методологія дослідження передбачала використання міждисциплінарного, конкретно-історичного, культурологічного та акмеологічного підходів, які допомагають розглянути представлення українського історико-героїчного епосу на сучасній естраді у творчості одного виконавця в динаміці та різновидах. Міждисциплінарний підхід зумовив звернення до історії України, музичної фольклористики, естрадознавства; конкретно-історичний підхід застосовано для дослідження історії створення пісень та історичних подій, відображених у них; культурологічний підхід допомагає з’ясувати місце і значення історико-героїчного епосу українців для розвитку сучасної естради, патріотичного та естетичного виховання слухачів; акмеологічний підхід спрямовує дослідження мистецької діяльності Т. Житинського в динаміці, виокремлення значення його самовдосконалення та самореалізації для творчого розвитку.

У дослідженні подано історію створення і зміст творів історико-героїчного плану, які виконує Т. Житинський, здійснена їх класифікація, а також виокремлено різностильові виконавські манери, притаманні співакові (автентичний чоловічий гуртовий спів у народному стилі; академічна манера; стилі «кантрі», «фольк-рок», «рок-н-рол», «шансон», ліричний бардівський спів). Творчий процес виконавця триває вже                    3 десятки років. Еволюція митця зумовлена самовдосконаленням, постійним пошуком нових (забутих) пісень, їх презентуванням широкій публіці. Багатогранність таланту Т. Житинського представлена використанням різних виконавських манер, володінням інструментом, композиторським хистом, дослідницьким пошуком, менеджерськими якостями.

Abstract. We present an investigation of biomass burning (BB) plumes originating from
Africa and Madagascar based on measurements of a suite of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) obtained during the dry season of 2018 and 2019 at the
high-altitude Maïdo observatory (21.1∘ S, 55.4∘ E,
2160 ma.s.l.), located on the remote island of La Réunion in
the south-west Indian Ocean (SWIO). Biomass burning plume episodes were
identified from increased acetonitrile (CH3CN) mixing
ratios. Enhancement ratios (EnRs) – relative to CO – were calculated from in
situ measurements for CH3CN, acetone (CH3COCH3), formic acid
(HCOOH), acetic acid (CH3COOH), benzene (C6H6), methanol
(CH3OH) and O3. We compared the EnRs to emission ratios (ERs)
– relative to CO – reported in the literature in order to estimate
loss or production of these compounds during transport. For CH3CN and
CH3COOH, the calculated EnRs are similar to the ERs. For C6H6
and CH3OH, the EnR is lower than the ER, indicating a net sink of
these compounds which was found to be in line with the expected atmospheric
lifetime. For CH3COCH3 and HCOOH, the calculated EnRs are larger than
the ERs. The discrepancy reaches an order of magnitude for HCOOH
(18–34 pptv ppbv−1 compared to
1.8–4.5 pptv ppbv−1). This points to significant secondary
production of HCOOH during transport. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring
Service (CAMS) global model simulations reproduce the temporal variation
of CO mixing ratios well at the observatory but underestimate O3 and
NO2 mixing ratios in the plumes by on average 16 ppbv and
60 pptv respectively. This discrepancy between modelled and measured
O3 mixing ratios was attributed to (i) large uncertainties in VOC and
NOx (NO+NO2) emissions due to BB in CAMS and (ii)
misrepresentation of NOx recycling in the model during
transport. Finally, transport of pyrogenically emitted CO is calculated with
FLEXPART in order to (i) determine the mean plume age during the intrusions at
the observatory and (ii) estimate the impact of BB on the pristine marine
boundary layer (MBL). By multiplying the excess CO in the MBL with inferred
EnRs at the observatory, we calculated the expected impact of BB on
CH3CN, CH3COCH3, CH3OH and C6H6
concentrations in the MBL. These excesses constitute increases of ∼20 %–150 % compared to background measurements in the SWIO
MBL reported in the literature.
Improved cloud detection over sea ice and snow during Arctic summer using MERIS data
Authors: Istomina Larysa , Marks Henrik , Huntemann Marcus , Heygster Georg , Spreen Gunnar
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The historic MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging
Spectrometer) sensor on board Envisat (Environmental Satellite, operation
2002–2012) provides valuable remote sensing data for the retrievals of
summer sea ice in the Arctic. MERIS data together with the data of recently
launched successor OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) on board Sentinel 3A and 3B (2016 onwards) can be used to assess the long-term change of the
Arctic summer sea ice. An important prerequisite to a high-quality remote
sensing dataset is an accurate separation of cloudy and clear pixels to
ensure lowest cloud contamination of the resulting product. The presence of
15 visible and near-infrared spectral channels of MERIS allows high-quality
retrievals of sea ice albedo and melt pond fraction, but it makes cloud
screening a challenge as snow, sea ice and clouds have similar optical
features in the available spectral range of 412.5–900 nm. In this paper, we present a new cloud screening method MECOSI (MERIS Cloud
Screening Over Sea Ice) for the retrievals of spectral albedo and melt pond
fraction (MPF) from MERIS. The method utilizes all 15 MERIS channels,
including the oxygen A absorption band. For the latter, a smile effect correction
has been developed to ensure high-quality screening throughout the whole
swath. A total of 3 years of reference cloud mask from AATSR (Advanced Along-Track
Scanning Radiometer) (Istomina et al., 2010) have been used to train the
Bayesian cloud screening for the available limited MERIS spectral range.
Whiteness and brightness criteria as well as normalized difference
thresholds have been used as well. The comparison of the developed cloud mask to the operational AATSR and
MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) cloud masks shows a
considerable improvement in the detection of clouds over snow and sea ice,
with about 10 % false clear detections during May–July and less than 5 %
false clear detections in the rest of the melting season. This seasonal
behavior is expected as the sea ice surface is generally brighter and more
challenging for cloud detection in the beginning of the melting season. The effect of the improved cloud screening on the MPF–albedo datasets is
demonstrated on both temporal and spatial scales. In the absence of cloud
contamination, the time sequence of MPFs displays a greater range of values
throughout the whole summer. The daily maps of the MPF now show spatially
uniform values without cloud artifacts, which were clearly visible in the
previous version of the dataset. The developed cloud screening routine can be applied to address cloud
contamination in remote sensing data over sea ice. The resulting cloud mask for the MERIS operating time, as well as the
improved MPF–albedo datasets for the Arctic region, is available at

Published: December 2020

Abstract. Cable bacteria can strongly alter sediment biogeochemistry. Here, we used laboratory incubations to determine the potential impact of their activity on the cycling of iron (Fe), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). Microsensor depth profiles of oxygen, sulfide and pH in combination with electric potential profiling and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analyses showed a rapid development (<5 d) of cable bacteria, followed by a long period of activity (>200 d). During most of the experiment, the current density correlated linearly with the oxygen demand. Sediment oxygen uptake was attributed to the activity of cable bacteria and the oxidation of reduced products from the anaerobic degradation of organic matter, such as ammonium. Pore water sulfide was low (< 5 µM) throughout the experiment. Sulfate reduction acted as the main source of sulfide for cable bacteria. Pore water Fe2+ reached levels of up to 1.7 mM during the incubations, due to the dissolution of FeS (30 %) and siderite, an Fe carbonate mineral (70 %). Following the upward diffusion of Fe2+, a surface enrichment of Fe oxides formed. Hence, besides FeS, siderite may act as a major source of Fe for Fe oxides in coastal surface sediments where cable bacteria are active. Using µXRF, we show that the enrichments in Fe oxides induced by cable bacteria are located in a thin subsurface layer of 0.3 mm. We show that similar subsurface layers enriched in Fe and P are also observed at field sites where cable bacteria were recently active and little bioturbation occurs. This suggests that such subsurface Fe oxide layers, which are not always visible to the naked eye, could potentially be a marker for recent activity of cable bacteria.
Ground ice, organic carbon and soluble cations in tundra permafrost soils and sediments near a Laurentide ice divide in the Slave Geological Province, Northwest Territories, Canada
Authors: Subedi Rupesh , Kokelj Steven V. , Gruber Stephan
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The central Slave Geological Province is situated 450–650 km from the presumed spreading centre of the Keewatin Dome of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, and it differs from the western Canadian Arctic, where recent thaw-induced landscape changes in Laurentide ice-marginal environments are already abundant. Although much of the terrain in the central Slave Geological Province is mapped as predominantly bedrock and ice-poor, glacial deposits of varying thickness occupy significant portions of the landscape in some areas, creating a mosaic of permafrost conditions. Limited evidence of ice-rich ground, a key determinant of thaw-induced landscape change, exists. Carbon and soluble cation contents in permafrost are largely unknown in the area. Twenty-four boreholes with depths up to 10 m were drilled in tundra north of Lac de Gras to address these regional gaps in knowledge and to better inform projections and generalizations at a coarser scale. Excess-ice contents of 20 %–60 %, likely remnant Laurentide basal ice, are found in upland till, suggesting that thaw subsidence of metres to more than 10 m is possible if permafrost were to thaw completely. Beneath organic terrain and in fluvially reworked sediment, aggradational ice is found. The variability in abundance of ground ice poses long-term challenges for engineering, and it makes the area susceptible to thaw-induced landscape change and mobilization of sediment, solutes and carbon several metres deep. The nature and spatial patterns of landscape changes, however, are expected to differ from ice-marginal landscapes of western Arctic Canada, for example, based on greater spatial and stratigraphic heterogeneity. Mean organic-carbon densities in the top 3 m of soil profiles near Lac de Gras are about half of those reported in circumpolar statistics; deeper deposits have densities ranging from 1.3–10.1 kg C m−3, representing a significant additional carbon pool. The concentration of total soluble cations in mineral soils is lower than at previously studied locations in the western Canadian Arctic.
This study can inform permafrost investigations in other parts of the Slave Geological Province, and its data can support scenario simulations of future trajectories of permafrost thaw. Preserved Laurentide basal ice can support new ways of studying processes and phenomena at the base of an ice sheet.
University Students’ Views on Rape Myths
Authors: Yılmaz Büşra , Öskay Ümran
Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the level of acceptance of rape myths by university students and the students’ views on rape. METHODS: The population of this cross-sectional descriptive study consisted of 408 students aged 18 and older who volunteered to participate in the study between January and March 2018. Data were collected using a personal information form containing demographic characteristics and the Illinois Rape Myths Acceptance Scale. Descriptive statistical analyzes, Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U test were used to evaluate the data. RESULTS: The total score of the Illinois Rape Myths Acceptance Scale was found to be low in the study. Male students and rural inhabitants were more likely to accept rape myths. It was found that students who believed that mass media encouraged gender discrimination accepted rape myths more than those who did not. It was found that female students took more protective measures when going out at night than male students and that female students believed mass media encouraged gender discrimination more than male students. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The fact that there is a low rate of accepting rape myths among university students and believing in gender discrimination shows the importance of raising public awareness on this issue.
Rumination and Its Impact on Mental Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Öcalan Sinem , Üzar Özçetin Yeter Sinem
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has been rapidly affecting the entire world, affects people physically, cognitively, spiritually, and socially due to its high contagiousness and mortality rates, its onset with asymptomatic symptoms, its unpredictable future, and the lack of a cure. These effects may result in individuals struggling intensely against various thoughts about the process. This repetitive and disturbing way of thinking, called rumination, which can occur in individuals’ stressful situations, can adversely affect their mental health. On the other hand, when ruminative thoughts are managed appropriately, they can empower individuals to exit the process and be replaced by positive thoughts. Therefore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to understand individuals’ ruminative thinking systems regarding the process. This review aimed to explain the concept of rumination during the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible effects on mental health.

Authors: Kaynak Hilal , Çövener Özçelik Çağrı
Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the anxiety of parents on the anxiety level of their 9- to12-year-old children staying in hospital. METHODS: The research was a descriptive study comprising 162 parents and 162 children between 9 and 12 years of age who were admitted to the ear-nose-throat and pediatric surgery services of a training and research hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The Child and Parent Diagnostic Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used as data collection tools. The data collection lasted about 15–20 minutes. RESULTS: A statistically significant correlation of 70.9% was found between the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and the Beck Anxiety Inventory for parents (r= 0.709; p=.001). Regression analysis revealed that the Beck Anxiety Inventory score for parents had a significant effect on the model. The Beck Anxiety Inventory score affected the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score of 39.2% for children (R2=0.392). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Anxiety of parents participating in the study directly affected the level of anxiety of their children. To improve this situation, pediatric nurses should identify the factors that may cause anxiety in parents and children and minimize the factors that may cause any anxiety

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nurses’ problem-solving skills and automatic thoughts. METHODS: This study was conducted as descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study between August and December 2016. The sample of the study comprised 112 nurses working at a training and research hospital. The Problem Solving Inventory, the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire, and a sociodemographic form prepared by the researchers were used to gather the data. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 20.0. RESULTS: It was found that problem-solving, approach-avoidance, and personal control skills of nurse managers were higher than those of clinical nurses (p<.05). The nurses who thought that nursing was not an appropriate profession for themselves and said that they were not satisfied with their profession had higher levels of automatic thought (p<.01). There was a positive and significant low correlation between the scores obtained by the nurses from the Problem Solving Inventory and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (rs=0.259, p<.01). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This study showed that nurses’ problem-solving skills were affected by working in the position of manager and by automatic thoughts about their profession. It is thought that practices to increase nurses’ problem-solving skills and to reduce their automatic thoughts about their professions will be beneficial.
The Impact of Micro Teaching Lessons on Teacher Professional Skills: Some Reflections from South African Student Teachers
Authors: Msimanga Mothofela Richard
Published: December 2020

Micro lessons in teacher education are intended to empower student teachers by developing skills which are necessary in their teaching careers. The study used student teachers’ reflections to explore how participation in micro lessons develops skills which are key in the teaching profession. Experiential learning theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Purposive sampling was used to select 14 fourth year Bachelor of Education student teachers. A focus group interview was used to collect data which was narratively analysed. The findings revealed that micro lesson presentations can develop student teachers’ skills when there are different forms of progression in micro lesson presentations; micro lesson presentations should progress from friendship groupings, random groupings, and peer presentations. Participation in micro lessons develops teacher professional skills such as lesson planning, craft of teaching, how to use resources, reflection, decision making, time management, responsibility and professional conduct.
Education for Sustainable Development Barriers
Authors: Foley Helen
Published: December 2020

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is seen as fundamental in the shift to realising sustainability. Unfortunately, the integration of ESD, especially in higher education is poor. An important question therefore is, what are the barriers preventing the integration of ESD? This paper explores key barriers preventing the integration of ESD. Additionally, it is emphasised in this paper that the dominant social paradigm fundamentally shapes and reinforces ESD barriers. It is argued here that addressing ESD barriers, particularly the dominant social paradigm, is fundamental to the integration of ESD. Within the context of anthropogenic climate change, resource overuse, water stress and wealth inequality, addressing ESD barriers is now imperative.
Archipelagic Scotland:
The Poetics of Islands and Island Poetry
Authors: Szuba Monika
Published: December 2020

The essay proposes an exploratory discussion of the signifi cance of the the concept
of islands and archipelagos in Scottish poetry. Beginning with a look at Samuel Johnson’s A Journey
to the Western Isles of Scotland (1775) and James Boswell’s The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
(1785), the essay recalibrates the notion of remoteness, thus attempting to challenge dominant
narratives of the centre and its margins. With an overview of selected poetic representations
of the islands of Scotland, the paper aims to offer an insight into the diversity of voices and approaches
characterizing Scottish literature, with a brief look at the twentieth-century and twenty-fi rst
century Scottish poetry including readings of selected works of such poetic fi gures as Kathleen
Jamie, Jackie Kay and Don Paterson.

Objective: The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in host physiology, metabolism, immunity, and behavior. And host genetics could influence the gut microbiota of hybrid animals. The three-way cross model is commonly utilized in commercial pig production; however, the use of this model to analyse the gut microbial composition is rarely reported. Methods: Two three-way hybrid pigs were selected, with Saba pigs as the starting maternal pig: Duroc× (Berkshire×Saba) (DBS) pig, Berkshire×(Duroc×Saba) (BDS) pig. One hundred pigs of each model were reared from 35 days (d) to 210 d. The body weight or feed consumption of all pigs were recorded and their feed/gain (F/G) ratio was calculated. On day 210, 10 pigs from each three-way cross were selected for slaughter, and cecal chyme samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: The final body weight (FBW) and average daily gain (ADG) of DBS pigs were significantly higher than those of BDS pigs (p<0.05), while the F/G ratios of DBS pigs were significantly lower than those of BDS pigs (p<0.05). The dominant phyla in DBS and BDS pigs were Bacteroidetes (55.23% vs 59%, respectively) and Firmicutes (36.65% vs 34.86%, respectively) (p>0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Prevotella, Roseburia, and Anaerovibrio in DBS pigs was significantly lower than in BDS pigs (p<0.01). The abundance of Eubacterium, Clostridium XI, Bacteroides, Methanomassiliicoccus, and Parabacteroides in DBS pigs was significantly higher than in BDS pigs (p<0.05). The FBWs and ADGs were positively correlated with Bacteroides, ClostridiumXI, and Parabacteroides but negatively correlated with the Prevotella, Prevotella/Bacteroides (P/B) ratio, Roseburia, and Anaerovibrio. Conclusion: These results indicated that host genetics affect the cecal microbiota composition and the porcine gut microbiota is associated with growth performance, thereby suggesting that gut microbiota composition may be a useful biomarker in porcine genetics and breeding.
