This study aims to analyze the role of Social Studies (IPS) in transmitting citizenship values to high school students. In the context of globalization and rapid social changes, citizenship education through IPS is considered essential for strengthening national identity and instilling democratic values and social responsibility. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis. The research sample consists of 10 IPS teachers and 20 high school students in city X, selected through purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation in the form of descriptive narratives, tables, or diagrams, and conclusion drawing with data triangulation. The results show that 78% of students who study IPS have a better understanding of their rights and obligations as citizens compared to students who do not study IPS. Interviewed teachers stated that IPS not only teaches history and geography but also the values of democracy, tolerance, and social justice. This study confirms that IPS is a crucial tool in building knowledgeable and active citizens. These findings support the citizenship education theories of John Dewey, Albert Bandura, and the constructivist theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Overall, IPS is effective in shaping the character and citizenship identity of students, preparing them to become positive agents of change in society

Authors: Muhammad Nawir  , Aini Nurpratiwi  , Dimas Mulyadin
Published: February 2025

This study was conducted because of the lack of interest in learning the IPS subject of grade IX junior high school which according to the students always makes them sleepy. The low interest in learning students can be seen from the minimal participation in class discussions and the lack of motivation to complete assignments. To overcome this, learning innovation was carried out by utilizing Game Based Learning Quizizz, an interactive quiz platform based on gamification that can increase student motivation. This study aims to test whether the use of Quizizz can increase students' interest in learning in IPS. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages, with 31 subjects of grade IX students of SMPN 1 Barru. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that the use of Quizizz significantly increased students' interest in learning. In Cycle 1, there was an increase in interest in learning, although some students still had difficulty using the application and many were still not interested and lacked learning. After improvements in Cycle 2, 90% of students became more active and enthusiastic, supported by interview results which showed that students felt more motivated and enjoyed learning through interactive quizzes because they could see their scores directly using the LCD.
DIFFRACTOMETRIC STUDY OF STRUCTURAL PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS IN Cu2−xS AND Cu2−xFe0.05S CRYSTALS
Authors:   Department of Electronics and Automation, Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Baku, Azerbaijan, Hashimov Kh.Kh.
Published: February 2025

In the article, the diffractogram analysis of phase structural transformations at various temperatures in non-stoichiometric Cu1.75S and Cu1.70Fe0.05S, Cu1.80S and Cu1.75Fe0.05S crystals is carried out. The phase composition of each crystal at the room temperature is determined, and all structural transformations occurring in the crystals depending on the temperature are recorded. X-ray diffractometric studies on Cu2−xFe0.05S monocrystals shown that with increasing temperature, the (FCC)2 (FCC- face-centered cubic) phase gradually merges with the (FCC)1 phase, associated with the yurlite phase, and the phase associated with anilite. Thus, the rombic (anilite) and monoclinic (yurlite) phases combine into a single (FCC)1. Structural transformations and phase changes in the studied crystals affect electrical conductivity and carrier mobility, making these materials suitable for semiconductors, solar panels, and other electronic devices. At the same time, changes in the crystal structure can influence optical properties, such as light absorption and reflection, which makes them attractive for optoelectronic devices and sensors. The ability of the material to undergo transformations at high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity makes it useful for thermoelectric applications and as components in high-temperature devices.

Published: February 2025

У статті викладено основний зміст методичних аспектів обґрунтування перспективної системи підготовки Збройних Сил України в умовах воєнного стану.
Досвід ведення бойових дій вкотре підтвердив важливість підтримання необхідного рівня підготовки (навченості) військ (сил) ‒ однієї з визначальних складових їх боєздатності. Водночас сучасні умови ведення збройної боротьби висувають підвищені вимоги як до рівня індивідуальної підготовки військовослужбовців усіх категорій, так і до рівня підготовки (навченості) підрозділів, частин та органів управління оперативної й стратегічної ланок. Відповідних змін (коректив) потребує існуюча система підготовки Збройних Сил України.
 Аналіз результатів ведення протягом 2022‒2024 років угрупованнями військ (сил) операцій (бойових дій) дозволив виявити суттєві проблеми, які стосуються організації і проведення у Збройних Силах України заходів оперативної, бойової підготовки та підготовки персоналу. Наслідком цих проблем є невідповідність між потрібним та існуючим рівнями навченості (спроможностей) та боєздатності Збройних Сил України. Встановлено, що однією з основних причин такої невідповідності є недостатня ефективність функціонування в умовах воєнного стану системи підготовки Збройних Сил України в цілому та її складових ‒ системи оперативної підготовки, ситеми бойової підготовки та системи підготовки персоналу.
Зазначене вимагає уточнення (корегування) існуючої ситеми підготовки та обґрунтування перспективної системи підготовки Збройних Сил України ‒ системи, яка була б здатна функціонувати з потрібною ефективністю в умовах воєнного стану. Відповідно, потребує розроблення модель перспективної системи підготовки Збройних Сил України в умовах воєнного стану.
Водночас існуючі методики (методичні підходи) стосуються переважно окремих напрямів дослідження проблем оперативної, бойової підготовки, підготовки персоналу та не передбачають комплексного підходу до дослідження проблем функціонування системи підготовки Збройних Сил України, як складної системи організаційного типу. Існуючі методики не можуть бути тим інструментом, за допомогою якого можна обґрунтувати модель перспективної системи підготовки Збройних Сил України, яка була б здатною функціонувати із потрібною (заданою) ефективністю в умовах воєнного стану. Таким чином, на сьогодні відсутні цілеспрямовані дослідження, а отже, й переконливе наукове обгрунтування моделі перспективної системи підготовки Збройних Сил України. Зазначене визначає актуальність дослідження та необхідність розроблення удосконаленої (комплексної) методики обґрунтування перспективної системи підготовки ЗС України в умовах воєнного стану.
Наведені у статті методичні аспекти є основою для подальшого детального розроблення алгоритму удосконаленої (комплексної) методики обґрунтування перспективної системи підготовки ЗС України в умовах воєнного стану.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a debilitating condition characterized by erythema, edema, and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa, commonly arising as a complication of radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It significantly impacts patients' quality of life, causing severe pain, nutritional deficiencies, and increased risk of infections, often necessitating treatment modifications.This review aims to provide healthcare providers with an updated understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and management strategies for OM, emphasizing evidence-based interventions to mitigate its impact on patients undergoing cancer therapy. This study aims to evaluate the main role of healthcare providers, dentists, and radiologists. The review synthesizes current literature on OM, focusing on its pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic approaches. It highlights the five-phase model of OM development and discusses grading scales such as CTCAE, WHO, and OMAS for assessment. Management strategies, including basic oral care, cryotherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and chemoprotective agents like palifermin, are evaluated.OM is a multifactorial condition influenced by treatment intensity, patient-specific factors, and mucosal vulnerability. Preventive measures, such as basic oral care and cryotherapy, significantly reduce OM severity. LLLT and palifermin show promise in high-risk populations, though safety concerns remain. Pain management, including topical morphine rinses, improves patient comfort and adherence to therapy. Effective management of OM requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating preventive strategies, early detection, and tailored interventions. Healthcare providers must prioritize patient education, optimize treatment protocols, and employ evidence-based therapies to minimize OM-related morbidity and enhance treatment outcomes.

Micro, small and medium sized (MSME) companies play an important role in India's economic growth, making significant contributions to employment, industrial production and exports. Recognizing their importance, the government has implemented a variety of policies focused on financial support, tax reform and digital transformation. This study uses government reports, industry research and secondary data from financial institutions to verify the effectiveness of these policies to stimulate (MSME) growth. It also examines sectoral challenges in financial access, fiscal compliance and digital adoption, identifying the obstacles that hinder growth despite political interventions. Analysis shows that credit guarantee fund trust for micro and small business fund (CGTMSE) and emergency credit guarantee (ECLG) have good access to loans, but maximum permissible margin (MPM) is also required. There is still a warranty issue, strict acceptance standards. Tax reforms, particularly, simplified compliance, but claimed strong management and compensation. Digital initiatives, such as the registration of UDYAM and Digital MSME, contributed to formalization, but many companies, especially in rural areas, do not have the necessary digital literacy and infrastructure. In addition, problems with access to the market, inadequate financial conscience and difficulties with regulation continue to interfere with the expansion of MSME

¿Se puede filosofar sobre el arte hispanoamericano, latinoamericano o mundial?
Authors: González Ordosgoitti Enrique Alí
Published: February 2025

En este breve artículo partimos de tres constataciones: el arte mundial no puede existir, por lo tanto, no existe; el arte latinoamericano puede existir, pero históricamente no ha existido; y el arte hispanoamericano puede existir e históricamente existe desde hace seis siglos. Revisamos la noción de arte hispanoamericano y nos preguntamos por sus etapas y fuentes de origen. Indagamos acerca de los principales procesos socioculturales que tuvieron que ocurrir para el surgimiento del arte hispanoamericano: el sincretismo; la hibridación; el mestizaje y la resemantización. Filosofamos acerca de varias manifestaciones del arte hispanoamericano y, finalmente, filosofamos sobre la relación entre el Barroco y el arte hispanoamericano.

Differentiation of Legionella pneumophila and Non-Legionella pneumophila Species by a Multiplex PCR Method
Authors: Bamaga Majid A.
Published: February 2025

Molecular techniques can be utilized as a rapid method to detect Legionella species in water samples with high accuracy. This study aimed to investigate the presence of Legionella species, including Legionella pneumophila, in environmental water samples using both culturing and molecular techniques. A total of 23 water samples were cultured on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar, with all samples (100%) showing bacterial growth. The samples were then analyzed by multiplex PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene and the L. pneumophila-specific Lpmip gene. Results revealed that 10 samples (43.5%) tested positive for the 16S rRNA gene, indicating the presence of Legionella species, while 6 samples (26.1%) tested positive for the L. pneumophila Lpmip gene. These findings highlight the prevalence of Legionella species in the samples, but also suggest a discrepancy between culture-based detection and molecular identification, with a lower proportion of samples testing positive for L. pneumophila. The study emphasizes the importance of using both culture and PCR methods for comprehensive detection and identification of Legionella species, as culture alone may not fully reflect the diversity of Legionella in environmental water sources
TÉCNICA DO SELAMENTO DENTINÁRIO IMEDIATO: AVANÇOS E BENEFÍCIOS NA ODONTOLOGIA ATUAL
Authors: Nauan Santos Pereira Cleyton , Ferreira Oliveira Barbosa Grasiélly , Vinícius Lourenço Debortoli Caio
Published: February 2025

Introdução: O Selamento Dentinário Imediato é uma técnica recomendada em restaurações indiretas,
como facetas, coroas e inlays/onlays, especialmente quando a dentina é exposta. Após o preparo dental,
o SDI envolve a aplicação de um sistema adesivo para proteger a dentina, reduzir a sensibilidade pósoperatória e evitar contaminação bacteriana. Embora eficaz, a técnica pode enfrentar desafios, como
incompatibilidade com sistemas adesivos e riscos de microinfiltração. O OptiBond FL é considerado o
“padrão-ouro” para SDI, particularmente em procedimentos com grande exposição dentinária.
Alternativamente, sistemas autocondicionantes simplificam o processo, dispensando o condicionamento
ácido. O sucesso do SDI é crucial para garantir a adesão e vedamento das restaurações, prevenindo falhas
e sensibilidade. Objetivo: Esta revisão visa explorar os protocolos envolvidos no selamento dentinário
bem como suas indicações, contraindicações e materiais a serem utilizados pelo clínico. Método: Fora
realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em bases de dados em busca de artigos, trabalhos acadêmicos, teses
e dissertações que abordassem o SDI Os dados dos trabalhos selecionados foram organizados em uma
tabela e seus resultados e discussão analisados para realização de uma revisão de literatura. Discussão e
Resultados: Os resultados indicam que o Selamento Dentinário Imediato (SDI) aumenta
significativamente a resistência de união e a durabilidade das restaurações, especialmente em materiais
cerâmicos como facetas laminadas e dissilicato de lítio. Diversos estudos demonstram melhorias na
adaptação marginal e na resistência à fratura. Além disso, o SDI reduz a permeabilidade dentinária,
diminuindo a sensibilidade pós-operatória. No entanto, a eficácia do SDI depende da compatibilidade
entre o adesivo e o material de moldagem, essencial para evitar descontinuidade da barreira dentinária e
garantir a longevidade das restaurações. Conclusão: O SDI, quando bem executado e dentro das
propostas indicadas desempenha papel vantajoso em reabilitações orais extensas, em quadros
hipersensibilidade dentinária em fase de provisórios e sua aplicação está bem consolidada na literatura
atual, porém, a abordagem, é sensível a técnica do operador e deve ser empregada de acordo com os
protocolos já publicados.

O Carcinoma Espinocelular (CEC), o mais comum dentre os canceres orais, é um tumor
originário das células escamosas que revestem a superfície da pele e das mucosas. Clinicamente pode se
manifestar como úlcera, lesão elevada ou área endurecida, muitas vezes indolor em seus estágiosiniciais.
É frequentemente encontrado na cavidade oral, incluindo língua, gengivas, lábios, palato e rebordo
alveolar, e pode apresentar caráter infiltrativo, acometendo os tecidos circundantes e tornando-se mais
agressivo ao longo de sua evolução. Objetivos: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso
clínico de CEC em região posterior do rebordo alveolar inferior do lado direito, caracterizado por uma
cicatrização lenta. Material e Métodos: Paciente do sexo masculino, 78 anos, que procurou atendimento
odontológico com queixa de uma "ferida na boca que não cicatriza", sugerindo que a prótese total estaria
causando a lesão. Na anamnese, paciente relatou surgimento da lesão há 20 dias, com crescimento rápido
e progressivo, negando comorbidades e hábitos de risco. O exame extrabucal não apresentou alterações,
enquanto o exame intrabucal revelou uma lesão ulcerativa e infiltrativa na região posterior do rebordo
alveolar inferior direito. Foi realizada biópsia incisional e o material encaminhado para análise
anatomopatológica. Resultados e Discussão: O laudo histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de CEC.
O paciente foi encaminhado para tratamento especializado, onde foi realizada a exérese cirúrgica com
margem de segurança. Conclusão: Este caso clínico ressalta a importância do cirurgião-dentista na
detecção precoce do câncer de boca, possibilitando o diagnóstico e a intervenção terapêutica em estágios
iniciais. A atuação precoce é essencial para aumentar as chances de sucesso no tratamento e garantir a
saúde integral do paciente.

de tratamentos e/ou procedimentos considerados fúteis e onerosos, mas sim, evitando sofrimento com
vistas a assegurar uma melhor qualidade de vida, com um final natural, promovendo conforto físico,
emocional e espiritual. Portanto, a multidisciplinaridade e a intersetorialidade do tema levam os
profissionais a se depararem constantemente com dilemas éticos acerca da autonomia, da justiça e do
respeito à dignidade humana. A Atenção Primaria em Saúde se torna um ponto de apoio da rede essencial
para desenvolver nesses atores um senso de responsabilidade humanizada até o momento da morte
propriamente dita, deixando que o paciente escolha o que deve ser feito com relação ao seu tratamento,
sem nenhum tipo de manipulação ou influência que reduza sua liberdade de decisão. Conclusão: A
longevidade humana traz consigo implicações sociais e de saúde que merecem atenção dos profissionais
envolvidos em cuidados paliativos, tanto na atenção primária à saúde, como na terminalidade da vida.
Assim, fica evidente a necessidade de mudanças e a implementação da filosofia biopsicossocial em todos
os serviços de saúde, uma vez que o modelo puramente biológico não atende mais as necessidades desse
público.
Exploring Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) in the tumor microenvironment and Crohn’s disease using novel FAP-selective tools and methods
Authors:   , Van Rymenant Yentl
Published: February 2025

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a post-prolyl proteolytic enzyme that is prominently expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and in activated fibroblasts that contribute to tissue remodeling in chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn’s disease (CD). Interestingly, FAP exhibits low expression and activity in healthy tissues, making it a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target for cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. Unfortunately, FAP’s functional role in these pathological conditions remains poorly understood, and current tools and methods for studying FAP are often characterized by a lack of selectivity. Additionally, research has primarily focused on FAP mRNA and protein expression, often overlooking its enzymatic activity, which is critical for understanding its biological functions. These limitations highlight the urgent need for innovative, highly selective tools and methods to detect FAP and elucidate its role in disease mechanisms. Hence, the goal of this doctoral research was to develop and validate novel FAP-selective tools and methods to enhance our understanding of FAP’s biological function in cancer and Crohn’s disease. To achieve this, we established an in-house recombinant human FAP (rhFAP) production system to ensure a robust supply of high-quality active enzyme for downstream evaluation and validation of novel FAP-targeting tools and compounds. We produced and purified a highly specific antibody against FAP and developed fluorescent FAP-targeting activity-based probes (ABPs) that enable selective, high-affinity visualization of FAP’s enzymatic activity. Furthermore, we evaluated novel [18F]-labeled FAP inhibitors ([18F]-FAPIs) for PET/CT imaging as a non-invasive diagnostic approach for tumors and fibrotic diseases in which FAP plays a role. With these tools in hand, we gained new insights into the expression and function of FAP in the TME, with a particular focus on its activity and role in natural killer (NK) cells and its interaction with CAFs. Our findings suggest that FAP is involved in NK cell activity and the activation status within the TME. In addition, we used these FAP-specific tools to investigate its function in CD, revealing its involvement in chronic inflammation and intestinal fibrosis. Overall, this research not only offers new insights into FAP’s role in the TME and CD, but also provides the scientific community with a comprehensive toolkit for the selective detection and functional analysis of FAP. By filling critical knowledge gaps in FAP’s biological function, our findings pave the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting FAP in oncology, Crohn’s disease and beyond.

As generative AI technologies like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into various aspects of daily life, understanding public perception is crucial for guiding responsible development and ethical deployment. This study conducts a comprehensive sentiment analysis of Twitter discourse, utilizing an innovative approach that integrates Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions, the NRC Word-Emotion Association Lexicon, and the VADER algorithm. By analyzing a dataset of 39,051 tweets, the research aims to identify predominant emotions, sentiment intensity and distribution (positive, negative, and neutral), and underlying themes within the discourse. The findings reveal that trust, anticipation, and joy are the most frequently expressed emotions, reflecting a generally positive reception of ChatGPT. Specifically, 54.4% of the tweets conveyed positive sentiments, 17.02% were negative, and 28.58% were neutral. Thematic analysis, facilitated by Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Gibbs Sampling, uncovers key themes related to ChatGPT’s potential, functionality, and utility. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of public attitudes towards generative AI technologies, providing valuable insights for developers, policymakers, and researchers in addressing the ethical, practical, and societal implications of AI integration into everyday life.
Evaluating Supervised Learning Algorithms for Predicting At-Risk Students in Introductory Programming Courses: A Comparative Study
Authors: Bibangco El Jireh , Dionson Mary Gift
Published: February 2025

This study compares the performance of five supervised learning algorithms—logistic regression (LR), logistic regression optimized using stochastic gradient descent (SGD), Naïve Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM), and classification and regression tree (CART)—in predicting students at risk of failure in introductory programming courses. Using a dataset of 68 students from a private higher education institution, the algorithms were evaluated through five-fold cross-validation based on accuracy, precision, and recall. Results indicated that SGD achieved the highest accuracy (73.09%) and precision (78.21%), while NB excelled in recall (93.80%). These findings suggest that SGD is preferable for accuracy-focused contexts, while NB is suitable for recall-focused scenarios. Moreover, the differences in performance among the algorithms in terms of accuracy and recall were statistically significant using ANOVA and post-hoc tests. This finding highlights the critical role of algorithm selection in predictive modeling for educational interventions, guiding educators to make data-driven decisions to support at-risk students better.

Da'wah is an attempt to spread religious teachings, moral values, and religious principles to individuals or communities. While the social aspect includes various aspects of social life, such as culture, politics, economics, and interactions between individuals. In this context, social da'wah refers to efforts to spread religious teachings with a focus on social improvement, community welfare, and meeting social needs. This can include providing assistance to the needy, counseling on religious values in a social context, and various other efforts aimed at improving the social conditions of the community. Da'wah and social aspects are often interrelated, as the delivery of religious messages can also have a positive impact on society. Many religious organizations and charities run social da'wah programs to achieve this goal. However, keep in mind that the implementation of da'wah and social can vary depending on the cultural, religious, and value context that exists in a particular society. Social da'wah is an approach in da'wah that focuses on improving society and social welfare. It involves conveying religious messages as well as taking concrete actions to help people and society. Social da'wah can be carried out through various means, such as education, welfare programs, humanitarian assistance, and efforts to combat social injustice. The goal is to create a better society and get closer to religious values while providing concrete benefits for others.

Authors:   Grupo KESA, Zubiaurre Cuevas José Antonio
Published: February 2025

KAS inicia su actividad en 1955, imponiéndose un estilo de gestión propio de una empresa familiar hasta la desaparición de su líder en 1988. Ese año el grupo pasa a ser controlado por el BBV y se firma un acuerdo con Pepsico Inc., por el que se traspasará KAS a través de KESA, grupo que se convierte en el embotellador de las marcas KAS, PEPSICOLA y 7UP y distribuidor de KASFRUIT y GREIP, detentando la titularidad exclusiva de todas las franquicias existentes en España, excepto Canarias. Los cambios del entorno constituyen un análisis imprescindible para definir las estrategias del grupo. La competitividad como factor de pervivencia exige replanteamientos industriales, logisticos y de distribución que garanticen costes mínimos. Este entorno requiere una respuesta a partir de la propia razón de ser la empresa como ente para la obtención de beneficios en su misión fundamental dentro de un marco de ética con la Sociedad en el mutuo intercambio de bienes y recursos y en la mutua aceptación. Honestidad, también, en la relación interna del grupo humano que conforma la empresa. Dentro de este esquema se definen los objetivos principales y funcionales a conseguir mediante la elección de diversas estrategias, que se resumen en la reestructuración industrial, el desarrollo de la función logística, la adecuación del área comercial a las nuevas exigencias de mercado, la gama de productos como elemento diferencial sobre la competencia y la reestructuración organizativa para una nueva dimensión y para una nueva gestión.
