Published: February 2025

This study integrates the TPACK framework into a Preschool Language Education course to examine its effects on pre-service preschool teachers' instructional design competence (IDC). The research aims to explore effective methods for IDC development and analyze its growth characteristics.

Using an R&D methodology, this study employed an experimental design with an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected from 41 pre-service preschool teachers at Putian University, Fujian Province, China, through cluster sampling. The experimental group (n=21) participated in a 13-week TPACK-based course, while the control group (n=20) received traditional instruction. The IDC Scale and Lesson Plan Scoring Rubric were used for data collection. Data analysis included independent and paired t-tests, as well as assessments of lesson plan scores and grade distributions.

Key findings indicate that (1) the TPACK-based course encompasses course objectives, content, learning organization, and assessment, with all participants achieving satisfactory or higher lesson plan scores and a 95% satisfaction rate; (2) the course significantly enhances pre-service preschool teachers' IDC; and (3) at the early stage of professional development, IDC growth exhibits characteristics of simplification, linearity, and dogmatism.

Diversidad de la familia Orchidaceae en las rutas de acceso a la ciudadela inca del Santuario Histórico de Machupicchu – Sector Wiñaywayna
Authors: Ayte-Turpo Alex
Published: February 2025

En el Perú se estima que existen más de 3,000 especies de orquídeas, destacando el Santuario Histórico de Machupicchu, particularmente el sector de Wiñaywayna, por su riqueza en esta familia. Se evaluó la diversidad de orquídeas en rutas de acceso a la ciudadela inca, implementando 72 puntos de muestreo distribuidas aleatoriamente con transectos de 50 m x 2 m, diseñados para estudiar la flora en espacios angostos (modelo aplicado para el estudio de orquídeas). Se registraron 87 especies de orquídeas distribuidas en 28 géneros. La ruta de Montaña Machupicchu presentó la mayor abundancia y diversidad, con especies como Epidendrum secundum y Epidendrum funckii, mientras que Phuyopatamarca y Ciudadela Inca evidenciaron menor riqueza, posiblemente por la altitud y la presión turísctica. El índice de diversidad alfa (α) evidenció una alta diversidad en casi todas rutas, especialmente en Machupicchu y Kantupata; y las de menor diversidad fueron Phuyopatamarca y Ciudadela Inca. En cuanto a la diversidad beta (β), la similitud entre rutas fue moderada, con una mayor afinidad entre Intipunku y Wiñaywayna según Bray Curtis e Intipunku y ciudadela inca según Jaccard. El estudio concluye que Wiñaywayna es un importante refugio de biodiversidad para las orquídeas, siendo un potencial atractivo para el ecoturismo. La diversidad registrada y las especies en peligro sugieren que el SHM, particularmente Wiñaywayna, es un área de conservación clave para esta familia florística.
Information counselling during treatment with ototoxic medications for TB: a call to action
Authors: Khoza-Shangase K. , Arendse S.M.
Published: February 2025

The introduction of bedaquiline (BDQ) has reduced the reliance on ototoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides) for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). This has significantly reduced ototoxic symptoms, such as tinnitus and dizziness, which often precede irreversible hearing loss. However, aminoglycosides
remain essential for some extensively drug-resistant individuals with TB (XDR-TB) who are resistant to BDQ. In South Africa, there is a lack of adequate awareness of the potential ototoxic effects of aminoglycosides. The increasing prevalence of XDR-TB has, therefore, intensified the need
for comprehensive information counselling. We call for a proactive role for audiologists in providing early, structured information counselling for these individuals.

Published: February 2025

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) apresenta-se como um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento que traz impactos no desenvolvimento, podendo o indivíduo exibir déficits na comunicação, interação social e a Disfunção de Integração Sensorial (DIS), que podem vir a causar prejuízos no brincar. O brincar é a maior ocupação da criança, sendo essencial para o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem.  Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a relação do brincar com o perfil sensorial de crianças com TEA. Durante a pesquisa, participaram 16 pais e/ou responsáveis e seus respectivos filho, com idades entre 3 e 6 anos, com o diagnóstico de TEA e que frequentavam uma Associação dedicada ao atendimento de crianças com TEA e um Centro Especializado de Reabilitação II, vinculado à uma universidade. As avaliações utilizadas foram: Instrumentos de Avaliação do Modelo Lúdico para Criança com Deficiência Física e o Perfil Sensorial 2 da Criança. Para as análises, os dados foram tabulados no Programa Excel e, para a análise estatística correlacional, o programa SPSS foi utilizado. Como resultados deste estudo, foi possível observar que as crianças apresentaram perfil de DIS em relação aos estímulos táteis, de sensibilidade oral e em relação à conduta associada ao processamento sensorial, além de alteração nos quadrantes Sensibilidade e Esquiva, principalmente. Em relação à análise correlacional, identificou-se uma correlação entre Comportamento Lúdico com a Conduta e com o Quadrante Exploração. Diante o exposto, observou-se a escassez de estudos que abordem essa temática. Sendo assim, sugere-se que sejam realizadas novas pesquisas acerca do tema.

Objetivo: Identificar, na admissão hospitalar, idosos sob risco de sarcopenia ou sarcopênicos e sua relação com o índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da panturrilha (CP), espessura do músculo adutor do polegar (EMAP), tempo de hospitalização e reinternações. Material e Métodos: O estudo incluiu idosos de ambos os sexos, hospitalizados no Hospital Beneficente Unimar, em Marília-SP. Inicialmente, os pacientes responderam a um questionário de caracterização da amostra. Para o rastreamento e diagnóstico da sarcopenia, adotou-se o algoritmo do Consenso Europeu de Diagnóstico e Definição de Sarcopenia. A coleta dos dados antropométricos seguiu técnicas padronizadas pela literatura. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 98 idosos, com idade média de 70 ± 7,9 anos, sendo a maioria mulheres (53%). Observou-se que 48% dos pacientes apresentavam sarcopenia ou risco de desenvolvê-la. As variáveis IMC (p = 0,0140), CP (p = 0,0007) e EMAP (p = 0,0013) foram significativamente menores no grupo de idosos sarcopênicos ou sob risco, em comparação ao grupo não sarcopênico. Além disso, o tempo de internação foi significativamente maior (p = 0,0001) entre os pacientes com sarcopenia ou risco de desenvolvê-la. Conclusão: A sarcopenia está associada à redução do IMC, CP e EMAP, impactando em um maior tempo de hospitalização. A detecção precoce da sarcopenia por meio desses indicadores nutricionais em idosos hospitalizados é essencial para a identificação de casos e para direcionar intervenções que melhorem a saúde e o bem-estar dos pacientes, reduzindo os custos associados à hospitalização.

Authors: Mekjaruskul Catheleeya , Caichompoo Wanida , Tuntiyasawasdikul Sarunya , Long Solida , Sungthong Bunleu
Published: February 2025

Context: Oxyresveratrol or 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxystilbene is the major constituent of Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. (AL), which possesses several pharmacological activities. It also inhibits a key enzyme of melanogenesis, tyrosinase, resulting in skin lightening.
Aims: To develop and validate an HPLC method for the analysis of oxyresveratrol in full porcine ear skin permeation study of A. lakoocha heartwood extract.
Methods: A reversed-phase HPLC with a gradient system composed of acetonitrile and 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid at a flow rate of 1 mL/min was developed and validated according to the International Council for Harmonization guideline. All chromatograms were monitored at 320 nm. The analyses of oxyresveratrol permeation using side-by-side diffusion cells were conducted. The amounts of the active compounds were analyzed in the donor, receptor of the side-by-side diffusion cells, as well as accumulation in the skin.
Results: The yield of plant extract was 14.68%, with the amount of oxyresveratrol at 372 mg/g of the extract. Relative accuracy was between 98.79–105.74% with 1.87–2.83% intraday precision and 2.89-3.80% interday precision. The linearity showed a good correlation at 0.9994. The recovery of the active compound was approximately 88.53 ± 0.71%. Most of the compound was still on the donor side.
Conclusions: The result showed sufficient information for the analysis of oxyresveratrol in the skin permeation study. For further experiments, skin permeation enhancers could be incorporated to improve the efflux of oxyresveratrol into the skin.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between participative leadership and organizational health in middle schools for girls in Tabuk, and how these factors are influenced by teachers' experience and qualifications. A correlational descriptive methodology was employed, utilizing a questionnaire consisting of 43 items, distributed to a convenient sample of 320 teachers from public middle schools in Tabuk. The results indicated that the overall degree of participative leadership practice was high, with a mean score of 4.15 out of 5. The dimensions ranked as follows: delegation of authority (4.18), participation in decision-making (4.15), and human relations (4.13), all rated as high. The overall mean score for organizational health was 4.07 out of 5, with the dimensions being: initiative (4.13), legitimacy (4.09), and supporting resources (3.98), all rated as high. A very strong correlation (R = 0.89) was found between the two variables, statistically significant at (α ≤ 0.05). Significant differences were noted among sample categories based on educational qualifications in both axes, favoring those with a bachelor's degree or lower, and based on experience in the legitimacy dimension, favoring those with less than 5 years of experience. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended enhancing both participative leadership and organizational health through rewards and training programs, and suggested further studies on the topic./// هدفت الدِّراسة إلى الكشف عن العلاقة بين القيادة التشاركية والصحة التنظيمية في مدارس المرحلة المتوسطة للبنات بمدينة تبوك، وتأثرهما بخبرة المعلمات ومؤهلاتهن العلمية، وتم استخدام المنهج الوصفي الارتباطي، واستبانة من (43) عبارة، تم توزيعها على عينة بالطريقة المتيسرة بلغت (320) معلمةً بمدارس المرحلة المتوسطة الحكومية بمدينة تبوك، وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة؛ أن درجة ممارسة القيادة التشاركية جاءت بمتوسط كلي (4.15 من5) بدرجة (كبيرةٍ)؛ أما الأبعاد؛ فجاء تفويض السلطة أولاً؛ بمتوسط(4.18)، ثم المشاركة في القرار (4.15)، فالعلاقات الإنسانية (4.13)، وجميعها بدرجة (كبيرة)، وبلغ المتوسط الكلي للصحة التنظيمية (4.07 من5)، أما الأبعاد؛ فأولاً: "المبادأة بالعمل" بمتوسط (4.13)، ثم "الاعتبارية" (4.09) وأخيراً "الموارد المساندة" (3.98) وجميعها بتقدير (عالية)، كما جدت علاقة ارتباط (كبيرة جدًا)؛ بقيمة (89.R=) دالةٍ إحصائيا عند (α≤0.05)؛ بين المتغيرين. كما تبين وجود فروق دالة إحصائيًا بين فئات العينة تبعاً لمتغير المؤهل العلمي في المحورين؛ لصالح (البكالوريوس فما دون). وتبعاً للخبرة في بُعد الاعتبارية؛ لصالح فئة (أقل من5 سنوات)، بناء على النتائج أوصت الباحثة بتعزيز كلا من (القيادة التشاركية، والصحة التنظيمية؛ بتقديم مكافآت وبرامج تدريبية، كما اقترحت دراسات مكملة في الموضوع.

Published: February 2025

This paper establishes a theoretical framework to model carbon allowance pricing dynamics using advanced stochastic calculus. A continuous-time approach is adopted to formulate Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) without relying on empirical data. The price process is represented as a multifractional Brownian motion to capture irregular fluctuations. The drift term incorporates market demand, regulatory impacts, and economic variables through an abstract functional operator. The volatility term contains a Hermite chaos expansion coupled with Malliavin derivatives. Derivations utilize concepts from anticipative calculus, fractional calculus, and functional analysis to attain mathematical sophistication. Theoretical insights into market dynamics and price determinants are provided by synthesizing economic theories and environmental considerations. Overall, the paper offers a mathematically rigorous foundation for understanding carbon market interactions, with implications for further theoretical advancements in environmental economics modeling.

Authors: Henry James , Peter Amade
Published: February 2025

The electricity demand relative to supply has increased in the developed and developing economies. Hence, forecasting adequate electricity supply plays a crucial role in driving economic production activities and growth. This is so because electricity supply in relation to demand is vital for future energy planning and policy formulation. Thus, this study employed the Box-Jenkins Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and data on electricity consumption from 1971 to 2014. The result indicates that the ARIMA (1, 1, 2) model is adequate for forecasting and modelling electricity consumption in Nigeria in the short run. Based on this finding, we recommended that researchers and policymakers employ the ARIMA (1, 1, 2) model when forecasting electricity supply in Nigeria.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the environmental sway of China's nuclear energy use in the perspective of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) by using the time series data from 1993 to 2022. The study used an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) simulating method. One of the limitations of the study is the short range of the data although the ARDL method perfectly applicable for the dataset with a short range. The findings of empirical research support that the PHH does not apply to China, meaning that foreign direct investment significantly impacts environmental results. Moreover, empirical findings confirmed the helpful impact of nuclear energy in reducing pollutants. Furthermore, the outcome confirms the EKC theory in the Chinese context, suggesting that increasing economic expansion may decrease emission levels in the future. Higher economic growth and increased foreign investment in nuclear energy generation are expected to improve environmental excellence by decreasing carbon emissions.

The worldwide community is worried due to various ecological modifications. The change of climate, desertification, logging, coastal erosion, overfishing, loss of biodiversity, and soil resource depletion are all causes that contribute to ecological harm. Quite a few observers have pointed out that these problems add up to substantial alterations to Earth's surface brought about by human activity. Using the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), this investigation analyzes the influences of alternative energy resources and natural resources alongside government spending on France's ecological sustainability throughout 1990-2021. Long-run estimates are calculated with completely modified least squares (FMOLS), and the empirical analysis's robustness is examined with dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). Long-term estimations show an opposing association concerning carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with renewable and nuclear energies, natural resources, and government spending, whereas a positive liaison between CO2 emissions with economic development. However, CO2 emissions have a negative association with the square of economic progression, lending credence to EKC. As the economy grows, environmental sustainability declines. In the long run, EKC will help the environment progress for the better. Implications for policy, research gaps, and future directions are discussed to round out the study.

Global warming is a significant worldwide challenge, principally caused by the ongoing increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Confronting this dilemma necessitates inventive solutions and anticipatory actions to alleviate the consequences. This paper analyzes the influence of Bangladesh’s agriculture, industrialization, and imports on CO2 emissions to inform sustainable development strategies. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) method was applied by utilizing time-series data from 1971 to 2023. The unit root tests were used to ensure the data stationarity. The results of the DOLS estimation revealed that a 1% increment in the agricultural value added would reduce CO2 pollution by 0.51% in the long run. However, a 1% increase in industrialization and imports causes higher carbon emissions in Bangladesh by 1.39% and 0.64%, respectively. The research highlights the significance of advancing green manufacturing methods, improving agricultural efficacy, and limiting imports as crucial gauges for reducing CO2 emissions and attaining ecological longevity in Bangladesh.

Published: February 2025

Kahve tüketimi Dünya çapında gün geçtikçe hızla artmaktadır. Bireylerin günde ortalama 2.4 fincan kahve içtiği tahmin edilmektedir. Günde içilen ortalama 2-5 fincan kahve tüketiminin bireylerin genel sağlığını desteklemekte olduğu belirtilmektedir. Kahve tüketiminin gastrointestinal sistem üzerine olası etkileri uzun yıllardır tartışılan bir konu olup konu üzerine net bir fikir birliği bulunmamaktadır. Kahve içerisinde fenolik bileşikler, alkaloidler, flavanoidler ve diterpenler gibi pekçok biyoaktif bileşen içermektedir. İçerdiği biyoaktif bileşenlerin gastrointestinal sistem üzerine farklı yönlerden etkileri bulunmaktadır. Biyoaktif bileşenler arasında en iyi bilinen ve potansiyel sağlık etkileri üzerinde daha çok durulan alkoloid grubundan olan kafeindir. Kahve, içeriğindeki kafein, polifenoller ve biyoaktif bileşenlerle sindirimi ve bağırsak hareketliliğini desteklerken, bağırsak mikrobiyotasını da olumlu etkileyebilir. Ancak, bazı bireylerde mide asit salgısını artırarak gastrit ve reflü gibi mide hastalıklarını tetikleyebilmektedir. Kahve tüketiminin bağırsak sağlığı üzerine etkileri incelendiğinde ise motilite üzerine arttırıcı bir etkisinin olduğu ve mikrobiyotayı destekleyebildiği yapılan çalışmalarla gösterilmiştir. Bu özellikleri ile inflamatuar bağırsak hastalıkları üzerine kahvenin potansiyel yararlı etkileri olabileceği belirtilmektedir. Kahve tüketimi ile gastrointestinal sistem hastalıklarından olan fonksiyonel dispepsi ve irritabl bağırsak sendromu arasındaki ilişki için net bir fikir birliğine varılmamakla birlikte olası potansiyel faydalar mevcuttur. Özetle, kahve tüketiminin gastrointestinal sağlığı etkileyebileceğini göstermektedir. Günlük ılımlı miktarda kahve tüketimi faydalı olabildiği görülse de aşırı tüketimi bazı gastrointestinal semptomlara neden olabilmektedir. Sonuç olarak kahve tüketiminin bireysel semptom ve mevcut sağlık durumlarına göre düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.
