Authors: Park Hyekyoung , Cho Soohyun ,   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction
Published: July 2024

Objectives The present study aimed to explore the profiles of academic-work mental health among Korean high school students, with a focus on academic motivation, which further contribute to providing fundamental evidence to preventive academic-work counseling.
Methods The data, self-reported by 391 students in the first and second years from 7 high schools, measured exhaustion, vigor, approach-avoidance motivation, and self-determination motivations were employed for latent profile analysis. Based on this, the profiles of academic-work mental health were investigated, and then multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted with academic motivation as antecedents.
Results Four profiles were observed: the engaged, the burned-out, the studyholic, and the unidentified. Only avoidance motivation significantly distinguished the studyholic from the engaged. Within self-determination motivations, no motivation distinguished it from the engaged and the unidentified except the burned-out. Amotivation and introjected motivation showed the differences between the engaged and the identified/ the burned-out.
Conclusions The present findings imply the necessity of early-intervention for the studyholic, featured with the exhausted but engaged. Even with indistinctiveness in appearance between the engaged and the studyholic, screening by avoidance motivation enables their distinction. Further, practical implications lie in the potential possibility for intervention strategy for an adaptive academic-work mental health profile.
Learning quantum phases via single-qubit disentanglement
Authors: An Zheng , Cao Chenfeng , Xu Cheng-Qian , Zhou D. L.
Published: July 2024

Identifying phases of matter presents considerable challenges, particularly within the domain of quantum theory, where the complexity of ground states appears to increase exponentially with system size. Quantum many-body systems exhibit an array of complex entanglement structures spanning distinct phases. Although extensive research has explored the relationship between quantum phase transitions and quantum entanglement, establishing a direct, pragmatic connection between them remains a critical challenge. In this work, we present a novel and efficient quantum phase transition classifier, utilizing disentanglement with reinforcement learning-optimized variational quantum circuits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on quantum phase transitions in the transverse field Ising model (TFIM) and the XXZ model. Moreover, we observe the algorithm's ability to learn the Kramers-Wannier duality pertaining to entanglement structures in the TFIM. Our approach not only identifies phase transitions based on the performance of the disentangling circuits but also exhibits impressive scalability, facilitating its application in larger and more complex quantum systems. This study sheds light on the characterization of quantum phases through the entanglement structures inherent in quantum many-body systems.

Published: July 2024

The learning process is a communication that involves teachers, students and subject matter. Learning media is needed to clarify the material and facilitate effective interaction between teachers and students. Along with the development of technology, Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the potential learning media. AR is able to improve concept understanding with interesting and interactive 3D visualizations, such as in the human digestive system material in the Merdeka Phase F class XI curriculum. However, AR also has drawbacks such as the lack of immediate feedback and distraction for students. To overcome this, innovation is needed, for example by integrating audio and video in AR media, thus providing a more thorough and effective learning experience. This innovation can support active and collaborative inquiry-based learning, enrich student understanding, as well as facilitate dynamic formative assessment. With collaboration between educators, technology developers and policy makers, the challenges of AR implementation can be overcome. The integration of this technology in education has the potential to improve the quality of learning and the development of 21st century skills such as creativity and problem solving.

“Angelic Powers Go Forward”: A Textological Note
Authors: Nikiforova Alexandra Yu. ,   А.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

In this article, the author discusses the archaic version of one of the most ancient Nativity hymns in Slavonic menaion “Angelic Powers, Go Forward”, which is already known from 12th c. GIM Sin. 162 and still performed on December 20, being attributed to the Byzantine poet of 6th c. Romanos the Melodist. The newly found Greek version of the hymn is published for the first time in Russian translation according to the 9th c. new tropologion Sinai Greek NE ΜΓ 56+ΜΓ 5. Its refrain “Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb” suggests the interpretation shift from the person of Christ to the person of Theotokos, and the redaction can be differentiated as “Marian.” It is originated in the the prophecy of Isaiah about the Virgin who will give birth to the Son of God, related to this feast already in the 5th c., according to the Jerusalem Armenian Lectionary (Is. 7: 10–17), and interprets the event as its fulfillment. Textological parallels in 9th–10th cc. Greek and Syro-Melkite manuscripts speak of the archaic redaction stability in the Christian East that time: the same refrain is to be found in 10th c. Sinai Syriac 48 and in 9th c. ΜΓ 56 + 5 for another “Romanos’ cycle” strophe; and in 9th–10th сc. Sinai Greek NE ΜΓ 58 a hymn for Theophany, which is modeled on this redaction. With the introduction of the Synaxis of the Holy Theotokos feast, after the official Sixth Council resolution (681), and the Marian hymnography concentration around it, the Nativity celebrations development, with its fore-feast days, and the christological hymnography concentration around them, a “traditional” version of the hymn, with the refrain: “Blessed is our God who was born, glory to Thee!”, along with the expansion of the Constantinopolitan rite in 10th c. became the main one in Greek, Georgian, Slavonic codices up to the present day. But the archaic, “Marian” one, retains its significance as this text history, and may still be discovered in Slavonic translations.
Russian Rulers’ Portrayals in the Mazurinsky Chronicle
Authors: Trofimova Nina V. ,   Moscow Pedagogical State University
Published: July 2024

The article examines Russian rulers’ portrayals in the Mazurinsky Chronicle. The events reflected in the Mazurinsky Chronicle cover the period from legendary rulers of Slavs to Peter I. By the end of the 17th century there was an extensive tradition of depicting Russian princes in the chronicles from old times, in the lives (vitas), in the military narration, The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy, and in the publicistic works of Time of Troubles. Isidor Snazin is the author of the Mazurinsky Chronicle who used the possibilities of all these genres. The presentation of Russian history as a God-patronized state required selection of facts and construction of a certain system of the rulers’ images. Pagan rulers are depicted, often with the help of hyperboles, on the basis of chronicles as powerful warriors who fought successful battles against the enemies and glorified by force, although in comparison with the stories of the Tale of Bygone Years, information about them is significantly reduced. Form this circle of rulers, only Rurik, briefly mentioned by Snazin, later appears as the ancestor of the Russian princes. To reflect the main milestones in the history of the Moscow state, the chronicler used images of Moscow rulers and their direct ancestors, presented in detail in The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy, the creators of which depicted them as ideal characters. A significant part of the images in the chronicle of Snazin is also idealized, by depicting in the actions, evaluation by other characters, in praising characteristics created by techniques of an emotionally expressive style. According to the chronicle tradition, together with ideal characters, rulers appear depicted in a real-historical way, showing diverse qualities depending on the course of events. The princes, contemporaries of the heroes of The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy, are depicted in detail when the life (vita) of saints, portents and wonders are connected with their rule. In the characteristics of the kings of the 17th century the documentaryceremonial style appeared, which was not used in the previous narrative, and emotional characteristics were weakened.
The Early Created Byzantine and Old Russian Images of St. John of Sinai as an Artistic Reflection to the Book Heavenly Ladder
Authors: Gubareva Oksana V. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Published: July 2024

The article provides a comparative analysis of the earliest Byzantine and Old Russian images of John Climacus. The author proves that the use of psychological techniques by John Climacus in the book contributes to the activation of creative acts of self-knowledge and reflection in the reader. This influenced the fact that everywhere at an early stage, before the formation of stable iconographic types, the image of the Climacus was interpreted in different ways, as a cultural reflection to the book of the saint. In Byzantium, the first images of Climacus are illustrations for his book. The fact that the book was widely interpreted in visual images suggests that the Greeks viewed Heavenly Ladder more as a textbook on asceticism; theological work; the creation of the great teacher of the Church, which could be decorated and accompanied by visual illustrative material. When a saint was depicted outside the context of his book in monumental art, his image was placed among a host of other saints monks and was extremely typified. The icons of the saint were absent in the Byzantine tradition until the 14th century. The first images of John the Climacus in ancient Russian culture show that here the Heavenly Ladder was perceived as a practical guide to spiritual life and a patericon, and the Climacus himself was revered on a par with the stylites and great ascetics. The book Heavenly Ladder was not illustrated at all until the 14th century. At the same time, the image of the saint was immediately included in the system of monumental paintings, where it was located directly next to the altar apse, and the first worship icon of the saint was painted already in the 13th century in Veliky Novgorod.

Authors: Kim Hyunjung , Kim Sungki ,   Research Institute of Science Education
Published: July 2024

This study explored pre-service chemistry teachers’ beliefs related to constructivist and traditional approaches to teaching and learning. In addition, this was examined focusing on 3rd and 4th graders who experienced teaching practicum and 1st and 2nd graders who did not experience teaching practicum. To this end, items developed by Woolley, Benjamin, & Woolley (2004) for the assessment of teaching and learning beliefs were utilized, with 75 pre-service chemistry teachers participating in the survey. An exploratory factor analysis identified six items related to traditional educational views and five items related to constructivist views for belief analysis. Differences between these educational views were compared using paired sample t-tests, and differences in beliefs across groups and items were compared using ANOVA. Overall, the group with teaching practicum experience showed statistically higher beliefs in constructivist educational views, whereas the group without experience showed no statistical difference. A detailed items analysis revealed higher beliefs in traditional education views in practices of written assessments and structured discussion classes. In the constructivist view, beliefs were statistically lower in informal student evaluations. Group analysis showed statistically higher beliefs in constructivist educational views among those with teaching practicum experience compared to those without. This suggests the value of teaching practicum experience in enhancing pre-service teachers’ beliefs in constructivist education.

Published: July 2024

Gas-liquid agitation by a turbine type impeller having shrouds structurally
(closed disk turbine impeller, CDT) was studied by examination of the flow
behavior of gas-liquid mixture in the impeller region, with energy
consideration based on the impeller power characteristics in the gassed
liquid. The way in formation of the gas cavities and dispersion as the gas
bubbles using the CDT differed from that using a conventional disk turbine
impeller (open impeller, ODT). The difference in relative power consumption,
i.e., ratio of gassed to ungassed power consumption, between the CDT and ODT
was related to the configurations of the gas cavities.
Assessing the influence of the Al Wahda dam commissioning on flood flows and low water levels in the Gharb Plain, Morocco
Authors: El Karfa Driss , Al Karkouri Jamal , Batchi Mouhcine , Boudine Hommane
Published: July 2024

The Sebou Basin is one of the most important hydrographic basins in Morocco. When the Wadi Sebou enters the Gharb Plain, it encounters difficulties in evacuating its waters during wet years due to its flattening, resulting in risks of floods. Its flow decreases during drought years and in August and September. For the purpose of this research, we were granted authorization to utilize the hydrometric station located in Bel-Ksiri. This station is most suitable for the study as it was designated as a reference point for the Wadi Sebou's flooding in the lower basin. This study is based on detecting floods in the Wadi Sebou from 1976 to 2020, dividing this period on pre and post 1997, corresponding to periods before and after the construction of the Al Wahda dam, examining the mean daily flow rates. Identifying discontinuities within the maximum daily flow series from 1967 to 2020 was achieved in Microsoft Excel. Additionally, determining flood return periods and examining low water flows are integral aspects of the study. The findings indicate a relative decrease in the frequency and intensity of floods within the Wadi Sebou's basin, coupled with effective control of low water levels. These changes are attributed to the construction of the Al Wahda dam, which guarantees a stable water supply for irrigation purposes in the plain. To ensure the long-term sustainability of water management practices, the adoption of innovative irrigation technologies is deemed necessary.
Psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Parenting Concerns Questionnaire in parents with cancer
Authors: Ljungman Lisa , Romare Strandh Maria , Gustafsson Niklas , Muriel Anna C. , Moore Cynthia W. , Enebrink Pia , Wikman Anna
Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: Parenting concerns can be a major source of distress for patients with cancer who are parents of dependent children; however, these are often not addressed in health care. The Parenting Concerns Questionnaire (PCQ) is an instrument designed to assess parents’ worries about the impact of cancer on their children and their ability to parent during this time. The Swedish version of the PCQ has, however, not been evaluated. This study therefore aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the PCQ in a sample of Swedish parents with cancer.
Material and methods: A sample of 336 patients with cancer having dependent children (≤18 years) were included in a cross-sectional web-based survey. Participants completed questionnaires assessing parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms (DASS); self-efficacy, family functioning (FAD-GF); and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Descriptive analyses, as well as reliability and validity analyses, were conducted followed by a confirmatory factor analysis of the factor structure proposed by the authors of the original version of the PCQ.
Results: The majority were mothers (94.9%) with breast cancer (66.4%) aged 40–50 years (59.5%). The results showed evidence for convergent, criterion, and known group’s validity, but the original three-factor structure of the PCQ was not fully supported by confirmatory factor analysis.
Interpretation: Evaluating parenting concerns may be an important step towards identifying patients who could benefit from targeted psychosocial interventions. However, the PCQ may require some further refinement to fully capture the breadth of parenting concerns in parents with cancer in different settings.

The WHO declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency on January 30, 2020, and a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Kenya confirmed its first case on March 12, 2020. The WHO’s call for equitable global vaccine access led to Kenya receiving 1.02 million doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine via the COVAX facility on March 3, 2021. Kenya’s phased vaccine rollout targeted front-line workers, individuals over 50, those with co-morbidities, and other vulnerable groups. Nakuru County Department of Health, with World Relief’s SCOPE COVID project, reviewed patient data from March 2020 to July 2021. COVID-19 cases were distributed across age groups, with more cases in adults. By July 2021, 68,692 people had received the first vaccine dose and 40,985 the second dose. Healthcare workers, security officers, teachers, and individuals over 58 showed significant vaccine uptake. The elderly had the highest vaccine uptake, with 3.18% of Nakuru’s population receiving the first dose and 1.9% the second by July 2021. Front-line workers and vulnerable groups had the highest vaccination rates. Continued advocacy and government efforts are essential for increasing vaccine uptake and returning to normalcy.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic and progressive disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This study aims to investigate the effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through a literature review. The comprehensive search in the database resulted in 7,737 articles: Pubmed (2,610), Science Direct (4,724), Scopus (282), and Springer (121), and only 11 articles met the criteria for further review. A comprehensive analysis of the included studies reveals the effect of HIIT on blood glucose levels in type 2 DM patients, which can be observed through changes in blood glucose levels and HbA1c following exercise. In conclusion, our findings suggest that HIIT could be an essential intervention for managing blood glucose in Type 2 DM patients.

The high external auditor turnover phenomenon has triggered previous researchers to investigate it. The high level of auditor turnover causes inefficiencies for public accounting firms. This study examines whether there is a negative relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intentions and analyses whether burnout mediates this relationship. This research obtained 57 samples analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM), which was processed using Stata 14 software. This research documents that perceived organizational support is negatively correlated with turnover intentions. Furthermore, job stress was found to be able to mediate the association between perceived organizational support and turnover intention.

The aim of this study is to offer actual data on the impact of local income, regional spending, and governmental complexity on the accessibility of regional financial data online in Indonesia. Based on the accessibility of acquiring regional financial information with three years of research observation, this study looks at the transparency of financial information on government websites in 34 Indonesian provinces. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test this study. The research's conclusions indicate that local original income significantly improves the accessibility of regional financial data on websites. However, regional expenditure variables and government complexity have no influence on the transparency of regional financial information via the website. This result supports the signal theory, which holds that a high level of local revenue signifies that the government is successfully discharging its obligations to the community. The results of this study can be utilized by local governments to establish internal or external laws, improving the transparency of financial data on local government websites going forward.
