Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Sieun , Jeong Gahyeon , Lee Dain
Published: June 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions and types of nursing students' nursing law enactment through a Q methodological approach, and to analyze the characteristics of each type. Through this, an attempt was made to help nursing students understand the enactment of nursing laws correctly and to provide basic data for suggesting the direction of nursing education.
Methods In order to construct the method Q population, a written interview contents of nursing students' perceptions of nursing law enactment and a literature review related to nursing law enactment were conducted. Based on the results derived through this, the Q population was constructed, and a total of 34 Q sample statements were derived through the process of organizing statements with unclear or overlapping meanings. The Q sample statements were classified by the Q principle, which forced 45 nursing students to classify them in the normal distribution table on a 9-point scale, and the final collected Q classification responses were coded as numbers and analyzed using the pc-QUANL program.
Results As a result of the study, five types of perceptions of nursing students about the enactment of nursing laws were identified. The first type was ‘guaranteed follow-up procedures of nursing law’, the second type was ‘wanted to guarantee nursing expertise in nursing law’, the third type was ‘cognition type of difficulty in enacting nursing law’, the fourth type was ‘a smooth resolution wish type’, and the fifth type was ‘confirmation type of the purpose of legislation of nursing law’.
Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it is expected that it will serve as a basic data for suggesting the direction of nursing education that helps nursing students understand the enactment of nursing laws correctly, pays attention to the legislative purpose and content of nursing laws as a prospective nurse, and helps them recognize them clearly. Furthermore, it is thought that it can be used as basic data for future nursing policy activities.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Si Jihyun
Published: June 2024

Objectives Recent educational demands have arisen in medical schools to systematically and directly teach clinical reasoning skills to preclinical medical students. This has highlighted the need for instructional design models to guide clinical professors in designing such educational programs. Instructional design models can reduce the challenges faced by clinical professors during course design by providing comprehensive guidance on the process. However, despite this practical necessity, research in this area is lacking. Thus, this study aimed to develop and validate an instructional design model and accompanying detailed design guidelines for developing a flipped learning course aimed at enhancing clinical reasoning skills in preclinical medical students based on illness scripts. The purposes of this study were to specify variables related to convergence competency, and to analyze the structural relationships among them.
Methods To achieve this goal, developmental research, including model development and validation, was employed. The instructional design model and detailed design guidelines were developed based on literature reviews and a case study, and model validation was conducted through two rounds of expert validation and a usability test.
Results The developed instructional design model was structured as a procedural model explaining the steps of instructional design, and designed at two levels (course and individual class). Furthermore, the model comprises six stages and 22 major design activities, while the detailed design guidelines include comprehensive explanations of design activities carried out in each stage of instructional design.
Conclusions The developed instructional design model and detailed design guidelines can provide clinical professors with practical assistance in systematically designing flipped learning to enhance clinical reasoning skills in preclinical medical students based on illness scripts.

Two Theoretical Perspectives to Explain Big History: Fred Spier & Pedro Ortiz Cabanillas
Authors:   Digital Transformation Center, Research department, Universidad Norbert Wiener, Lima, Perú, Contreras-Pulache Hans
Published: June 2024

The central hypothesis of this research is that there are currently two theoretical proposals within the Big Story: the better known proposal of Fred Spier (1952 - ) and the lesser known proposal of Pedro Ortiz Cabanillas (1933 – 2011) implicitly contained in his Sociobiological Informational Theory. We will proceed to present and synthesize the two theories of Big History made by Spier and Ortiz, comparing them and identifying points of contact and differences. Spier’s theoretical proposal presents the becoming of the universe in three moments: cosmological, biological and social. The epistemological basis being a qualitative theory of complexity. Ortiz’s proposal (based on a qualitative theory of information) presents the evolution of the universe in six levels of complexity. In parallel, we would have: level 0 (Spier’s cosmological moment); level one, two, three and four (Spier’s biological level); and level 5 (Spier’s social moment). There are occasional differences between the two approaches, but more are the articulations and points of contact. The hypothesis of this research is correct: Spier (explicitly) and Ortiz (implicitly) have explanatory theories of Big History. Even if Spier and Ortiz never had contact (neither personally nor academically), their theories are articulated in the same explanatory scheme and are epistemologically nourished simultaneously. Big History is strengthened by what is presented here
The Mechanism for Calculating the Nishab of Zakat for Civil Servants’ Income According to MUI Fatwa No 3 Year 2023
Authors: Asri Juinda , Supardi Supardi , Setiawan Adi , Afrianty Nonie
Published: June 2024

Civil servants are one of the subjects of zakat, which is called income zakat, and each zakat is issued if it has reached the nishab. The Indonesian Ulema Council regulates zakat in the MUI Fatwa Number 3 of 2003 concerning Zakat Income. The UPZ of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of Bengkulu Province takes zakat on income every month from all groups of civil servants, even though some of the income of certain groups of civil servants has not reached the nishab. Determining the income nishab value is based on the Decree of the Chairman of BAZNAS No. 14 of 2021 concerning the income and services zakat nishab in 2021. The income nishab value is 85 grams of gold multiplied by IDR. 938,099,- amounting to Rp. 79,738,415,-. The research method used is descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach. The results of this research show that: 1) the calculation of the zakat nishab on civil servant income applied by UPZ at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of Bengkulu Province is taken from the basic salary of civil servants which is then paid out at 2.5% every month. 2) The calculation of the zakat nishab on civil servants' income by UPZ at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of Bengkulu Province is not in accordance with MUI Fatwa Number 3 of 2003 because zakat is imposed on all groups of civil servants, zakat is taken from all gross income, and zakat is issued even though it has not yet reached the haul time.

Strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue behavior of a superalloy considering extensive temperature range and stress concentration
Authors: Luo Lingying , Wang Wenjun , Yang Qinzheng , Mi Dong , Wang Xu , HU Xiaoan
Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior and
fatigue life prediction method of an advanced solid solution
strengthened nickel-based superalloy at various temperatures and stress
concentrations. Cylindrical specimens as well as plates with three types
of holes (including straight holes and inclined holes with different
orientations) were designed and machined for fatigue tests. The test
results revealed fatigue life decreases with the temperature increasing.
Meanwhile, the fatigue lives of the plate specimens have decreased
differently and are strongly dependent on the geometry and orientation
of the holes. The key damage parameter related to the fatigue life was
found on the strain gradient path. A criterion based on strain gradient
is defined as the boundary of the damage process zone. The results show
that the prediction was in good agreement with the experimental data,
for the majority of the data is within a scatter band of ±2.
Effects of the estimated inversion strength and aerosols on monthly variations of subtropical marine stratocumulus to the west of Africa
Authors: Soriano Waren Dale Rosario , Dinh Tra , Bellon Gilles
Published: June 2024

Satellite and reanalysis data over 20years (2003-2022) are used to study
how the estimated inversion strength (EIS), other known thermodynamic
variables, dust aerosols (DAs) and biomass-burning aerosols (BBAs)
affect the monthly variations of marine stratocumulus (MSc) to the west
of Canary Islands and Namibia. Although EIS is thought to be the main
predictor of low-cloud cover (LCC), the seasonal cycles of EIS and LCC
differ significantly in the Canary MSc region. In linear regression
models, adding DA optical depth as a predictor significantly improves
the prediction of LCC across all seasons and almost everywhere in the
region compared to using EIS alone. In fact, DAs contribute more than
EIS to the LCC maximum in the boreal summer, reducing the error by up to
11%. In this season, large amount of DAs are transported from the
Sahara to the Canary MSc region. DAs can increase LCC as they are
effective cloud condensation nucleii (CCN). Other known thermodynamic
predictors of LCC can reduce the error, but by far less effectively than
DAs. BBAs also improve the prediction of LCC in the region, but less so
than DAs, suggesting that BBAs are less effective as CCN. In the Namibia
MSc region, there are virtually no DAs but BBAs are abundant. However,
the influence of BBAs on LCC is hidden as EIS alone captures well the
seasonal cycle of LCC. This is because, in this region, BBA optical
depth and EIS coincidentally have similar seasonal cycles, making them
well correlated.

Published: June 2024

This work reports on an attempt towards improving the Relativistic
Electron Alert System for Exploration (REleASE): the occurrence of a
type-III radio burst as a precondition for a REleASE forecast. REleASE
forecasts are based on the detection of early arrival of
near-relativistic electrons ahead of more hazardous protons from Solar
Energetic Particle (SEP) events. The goal is to allow astronauts on a
Lunar or Mars mission sufficient advance warning to reach a radiation
shelter to minimize radiation dose exposure. We test a new system that
sets a condition of the occurrence of a type-III radio burst, thus
adding independent evidence of particle escape from the Sun, with the
aim of reducing known sources of false-alarms of the existing REleASE
system. The HESPERIA REleASE+ system, which takes advantage of
availability of real-time solar radio observations during the passage of
STEREO-A by Earth in 2023, has now been incorporated in the HESPERIA
framework. We discuss the techniques used for automatic detection of
type-III radio bursts preparing for its real-time implementation, the
determination of selection criteria for type-III bursts that are
candidates for solar proton events in the Earth-moon system, and first
results of the combined system.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre os patrimônios culturais do município de Santa Teresa/ES, reconhecido pela Lei nº 13.617/2018 como o pioneiro da imigração italiana no Brasil. A partir do diálogo com produções de Walter Benjamin, focalizamos manifestações de determinados grupos da referida localidade na relação com representações que simbolizam histórias e memórias do processo imigratório, em especial a Casa Lambert. Considerando o declínio das experiências na modernidade, fenômeno característico da sociedade capitalista, realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa (Lüdke; André, 1986) para problematizar formas de apropriação da cultura como espetáculo e objeto comercializável. Diante da denominada “cultura do vidro” (Benjamin, 2012), na qual os sujeitos são constantemente expostos a um passado pretensamente homogêneo e idealizado, refletimos acerca da tendência de transformação dos patrimônios culturais em fantasmagorias, o que inclui o desenraizamento social e a desvalorização das experiências vividas coletivamente.
The Effect of Voluntary IFRS Adoption on MD&A Information
Authors: Inoue Kento , Hirose Yoshitaka
Published: June 2024

We analyze the textual management discussion and analysis (MD&A) information of Japanese firms that voluntarily adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and disclosed information in the Japanese language. We conduct a difference-in-differences analysis of firms that voluntarily adopted IFRS and those that continue to use Japanese generally accepted accounting principles. We find that the voluntary adoption of IFRS decreases the textual length but does not change the difficulty of MD&A information. The results indicate that IFRS adoption decreases the level of MD&A disclosure. However, the decrease in textual length is not observed after the 2018 MD&A regulation changes. This suggests that the negative effect of IFRS adoption is offset by the positive effect of the regulation change. This study is unlike previous research as it contributes to international accounting literature by analyzing financial reporting in a non-English language, viz. Japanese, which is, technically, a very difficult language.

Data Availability: All financial data and some textual data used in this study are available from commercial providers (NEEDS–FinancialQUEST2.0, NEEDS–MT Executive (Yakuin), and eol), and the other textual data are available from a governmental public source (EDINET).

Body awareness, stress and symptoms in autonomic dysfunction in patients with chronic pain: an explorative study
Authors: Varkey Emma , Gottfridsson Raquel , Grimby-Ekman Anna , Bjarnegård Sellius Anna , Östman Maria , Andréll Paulin
Published: June 2024

Objective: To assess pain outcomes, stress levels and body awareness among patients with chronic pain and explore potential associations between these variables.
Design: An explorative study.
Methods: Patients with chronic pain in primary and specialist care were assessed regarding pain intensity using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS; 0–10 point scale) and stress levels using the Stress and Crisis Inventory (SCI-93; 0–140). To assess body awareness, multidimensional assessment of interoceptive awareness (MAIA; 0–5), a widely used self-report measure of interoceptive bodily awareness was used.
Results: Participants (n = 42) reported an average NRS of 4.4, elevated stress levels and low body awareness. Stress levels were moderately correlated with pain intensity (r = 0.53; p < 0.001; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25–0.72) and number of pain sites (r = 0.58; p < 0.001; 95% CI 0.32–0.76). The regression analysis showed that pain outcomes predicted stress level scores and explained almost 50% of variance (R2 = 0.47, p < 0.001). Moreover, shorter pain duration predicted a higher body awareness (p = 0.04).
Conclusion: In patients with chronic pain, high pain intensity and multiple painful sites seem to be associated with impaired stress regulation. The patients had low body awareness, which was negatively influenced by pain duration.

Published: June 2024

Aim. To evaluate the activity of autophagy and apoptosis in the myocardium of rats with differentstress resistance after the modeling of myocardial contusion.

Materials and Methods. The study was performed on 106 white male rats weighing 250-300 g. The rats were ranked according to stress tolerance, and medium-resistant individuals (n = 42) were excluded from the experiment. Control (n = 16) and experimental (n = 48) groups were formed from the remaining animals; the control group included subgroups with high and low stress resistance, and the experimental group included 6 subgroups (rats with high and low stress resistance; 6, 12, and 24-hour time points). Each of the subgroups included 8 animals. Myocardial contusion was modeled in the experimental group. At 6-, 12- and 24-hour time point, rat hearts have been excised and 5×5 mm myocardial fragments were dissected from the areas with the most prominent traumatic effects (interventricular septum, anterior walls of the left and right ventricles). Tissues were then sectioned and stained with antibodies to Beclin-1 and caspase-3.

Results. We have documented a significant expression of Beclin-1 and Caspase 3 expression in rat hearts after myocardial contusion. From 6 to 24 hours upon the myocardial contusion, Beclin-1 expression has been increased in rats with high stress resistance but was reduced in rats with low stress resistance. Expression of caspase-3 expression was registered exclusively at 24-hour time point in rats with high stress resistant but increased along the time points in rats with low stress resistance.

Conclusion. Expression of Beclin-1 and caspase-3 in rat myocardium indicated autophagy and apoptosis upon the myocardial contusion. Temporal patterns of Beclin-1 and caspase-3 expression were opposite in rats with high and low stress resistance.
Evaluation of Parathyroid Hormone and Vitamin D Levels among Surgery Outpatient Clinic Attendants in Shifa Medical Complex: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Alslaibi Karam
Published: June 2024

Background: Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) play crucial roles in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Understanding their levels and associations in the general population is essential for preventive and therapeutic interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate PTH and vitamin D levels among the general population. Data were collected over one year. A convenience sampling method was employed, and demographic information and laboratory results were obtained through standardized questionnaires and blood samples. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: A total of 390 participants were included, with a predominance of females (65.9%). The mean age was 50.12 years, ranging from 8 to 89 years. Analysis of PTH levels revealed that 68.5% of participants had elevated levels (>65 pg/mL), while 26.4% had normal levels (15-65 pg/mL), and 5.1% had deficient levels (<15 pg/mL). Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent, with 17.2% severely deficient (<10 ng/mL) and 28.5% moderately deficient (10-15 ng/mL). A significant negative correlation was observed between vitamin D and PTH levels (p < 0.05), indicating higher PTH levels in individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency. Age was significantly associated with PTH levels (p < 0.05), with older individuals (>60 years) exhibiting higher mean PTH levels compared to younger age groups. Conclusion: This study highlights the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its association with elevated PTH levels in the general population. The findings underscore the importance of monitoring and addressing vitamin D status, particularly in older individuals, to mitigate the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism and related complications. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and inform targeted interventions for optimizing vitamin D and PTH levels in diverse populations.

Authors: Kurmangaleeva AYu , Sibirskaya EV
Published: June 2024

Teen pregnancy remains one of the key social issues that deeply affects not only the life of a young mother and her child but their inner circle and society as well. In spite of multiple efforts to reduce its prevalence rate, teen pregnancy is still a pressing issue in many countries. Currently, there are several key problems that can result in an increased risk of teen pregnancy. They include an early beginning of sexual activity, history of sexual abuse, low social and economic status, lack of parental care and support, cultural and family behavioral models, use of psychoactive substances, poor academic performance and expulsion from school. In addition, the probability of a repeated teenage pregnancy is significantly increased, passing the problem on from one generation to another. This article is aimed at a comprehensive analysis of these factors and statistical data in order to better understand the problem of teenage pregnancy, assess its consequences for the health and well-being of those underaged and their children. Special attention is paid to the ethical and social aspects of teenage pregnancy.
Regulating European Union’s Border in Africa
Authors: Rahmadan Yanuar
Published: June 2024

Ceuta and Melilla are two enclaves that belong to Spain in Morocco and have become the contact points of the irregular migrants coming from Africa that are attempting to reach the European continent. The enclaves have utilized innovative technology and barbed wire, but immigrant crises have occurred over the years. Despite the crises, the Spanish and Moroccan governments choose to perform a semi-permeable border. This article explains the semi-permeable border using the liberal institutional theory. This article argues that a semi-permeable border is chosen by the Spanish and Moroccan governments to fulfill their mutual self-interests. The Spanish government agrees to perform a semi-permeable border to retain the symbolic border of the region. The blurring overlap in the enclaves has put the Spanish government to use help from the European Union to conduct security measures in the region. The Moroccan government agrees to perform a semi-permeable border to retain its influence over the enclaves and uses the immigrant crises as a bargaining chip for the European Union. The European Union maximizes the performance of a semi-permeable border to pursue its interest, which is to conduct the Euro-Mediterranean Free Trade Agreement.
PRINSIP-PRINSIP KONSERVASI LINGKUNGAN DI DALAM AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Ayatullah Hasan
Published: June 2024

Krisis ekologi telah menjadi perhatian global sejak era 1960-an, memicu perdebatan tentang hubungan manusia dengan alam. Lynn White, Jr. menyoroti pengaruh pandangan antroposentris dalam tradisi Yahudi-Kristen terhadap perilaku manusia terhadap lingkungan. Namun, prinsip-prinsip konservasi lingkungan dalam Al-Qur'an belum terselidiki secara menyeluruh sehingga pemahaman konsep ekologi dalam Al-Qur'an dan implementasinya dalam praktik kelestarian lingkungan menjadi relevan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi prinsip-prinsip konservasi lingkungan dalam Al-Qur'an. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatfi studi pustaka, yang juga dikenal sebagai literature review. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulakan bahwa prinsip-prinsip konservasi lingkungan dalam Al-Quran dapat diidentifikasi dalam dua konsep utama. Pertama, Al-Quran menekankan pentingnya menjaga alam sebagai bentuk manifestasi keimanan manusia. Dari sini dapat disimpulkan bahwa salah satu persyaratan untuk mencapai potensi penuh seseorang dalam hal keyakinan/keimanan mereka adalah menunjukkan kepedulian terhadap alam. Kedua, Al-Quran mengajarkan bahwa manusia adalah makhluk pemakmur bumi, yang harus mengelola dan merawatnya dengan bijaksana.

Testing Understanding by Design
Authors: Ostinelli Giorgio
Published: June 2024

Understanding by Design (UbD) is a well-known curricular methodology aiming at leading students to develop deep understanding of the arguments proposed by teachers. Through a path including stimulating questions, student motivation, deepening of the argument, reflection, design and assessment of authentic performances, the students develop a broad understanding of the learned argument. While there is plenty of articles describing various experiences in classrooms and schools showing the benefits of UbD, rarely this methodology has been the object of experimental or quasi-experimental studies. A research conforming to quasi-experimental criteria has been performed in a Swiss vocational school, where three groups of students have been submitted to teaching based on UbD principles (the first two) and to a more traditional teaching approach (the remaining one). The argument was the study of mathematical Relations and Functions. The results, collected during one school year, showed that the first two groups outperformed the third one and that the effect lasted at least for one school year. Since the teacher remained the same, it is likely that the outcome can be attributed to the use of the methodology.

Introduction. Telenursing, a subset of telehealth, is the use of information technology and telecommunications to provide remote nursing care. Telemedicine is used for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, symptom management and monitoring of the patient’s condition. Telenursing also enables counseling and patient education.Aim. To determine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students towards telenursing.Methods. The cross-sectional study was conducted involving nursing students from University of Applied Health Sciences Zagreb during June 2023. A link to web-based survey was sent to students, and 140 students completed it. The survey used in the research included demographic data, data related to telemedicine and telenursing education, and 16 statements related to telenursing.Results. Most participants didn’t listen to lectures on telenursing (66.4%) or telemedicine (50.7%) during their studies. More than 89% of participants believe that education on the application of telenursing would be useful for future nursing bachelors, and more than 83% of participants believe that the knowledge of healthcare workers and patients can influence the use of telemedicine and telenursing in patient care. The majority of participants (N=91; 65%) believe that a video conference call cannot re- place a live visit to a patient, but they also believe that telenursing can ensure greater availability of care for patients (N=82; 58.6%). The majority of participants (N=72; 51.5%) believe that telenursing can be applied in the care of almost all groups of patients.Conclusions. Students have mostly positive attitudes regarding the possibility of using telenursing, but they are undecided regarding the advantages of telenursing. A lack of knowledge and wrong beliefs related to the beginning of the application of telenursing, advantages and possibilities of using telenursing in health practice were observed. Including more content related to telenursing in student education can improve students’ knowledge and attitudes.
