Authors: Soedjito Hilda , Victoriana Evany , Ningrum F. Anindya Dwi Puspa
Published: September 2023

Pregnancy can cause discomfort for the changes experienced by a mother, namely physical changes, changes in social functioning, and psychological changes. The first pregnancy for a mother is a new journey where one of the influential psychological aspects is anxiety. Anxiety during pregnancy is also experienced by primigravida pregnant women who become pregnant outside of marriage. The anxiety that is felt is due to the mother's concern for the child's health, the mother's ability to take care of the child, how to carry out the role as a mother, how the environment views her, economic conditions, and family conditions. This has an impact not only on the psychological condition of pregnant women so that they experience high and moderate levels of anxiety, but also on the condition of the exposed fetus. The Foundation's management said that this anxious mother gave rise to behavioral reactions such as irritability and crying easily. The method used to overcome this problem is psychoeducation to reduce anxiety. The results and conclusions of the psychoeducation carried out are that psychoeducation can increase knowledge and understanding of anxiety and ways to overcome it so that it can effectively reduce anxiety.

Authors: Zubov Vladimir , Alla Albu
Published: September 2023

The problem of determining the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity coefficient of a substance is considered and investigated. This problem belongs to the class of problems of identification of model parameters. The consideration is carried out on the basis of the first boundary value problem for the nonstationary heat equation. An algorithm for the numerical solution of the considered inverse problem is proposed. The identification problem was considered in one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional formulations. The corresponding inverse coefficient problems were reduced to variational problems, which were solved numerically using gradient methods for minimizing cost functionals. The effective method is proposed for evaluation of the cost functional gradient. It is based on the fast automatic differentiation technique and produces the exact gradient for the chosen approximation of the optimal control problem.

Published: September 2023

The newly launched IAEA project MEREIA (MEthods for Radiological and Environmental Impact Assessment; 2021- 2025), MEREIA continues some activities of previous IAEA exercises in the field of radioecological modelling and focuses on areas where the probabilistic approach determines the predictive capability of environmental models. The program offered the opportunity to set up well-designed and verified scenarios to collect and compare exposures predicted by particular models based on this scenario and then perform a validation study of contributing models. It consists of the comparison of model prediction with observed data or in the case where there is a lack of measurement data to perform a comparison within model prognoses. The previous international works have brought significant improvement in environmental modeling in terms of better understanding and mathematical description of complex physical and chemical phenomena that occur in various environmental media and also have promoted new areas for experimental investigations. The new experimental results yielded updated handbooks of a large number of environmental parameters for less-known elements. Moreover, the principal objective of the activities in environmental modelling was an integrated risk assessment of the reference group of population and biota associated with radionuclides releases from various kinds of nuclear facilities as from different types and power nuclear reactors, radioactive waste disposal and more complex nuclear research facility. This reflects recent international recommendations to extend protection against radiation hazards of humans to wildlife flora and fauna. However, the statistics supported knowledge on some essential environmental parameters still remain small. Therefore, one could be aware of some limitations of the probabilistic approach that required advanced methods of probabilistic prognosis Monte Carlo.
The Six Voices of Logue in Qualitative Inquiry: Prologue, Monologue, Dialogue, Polylogue, Metalogue, and Epilogue
Authors: Bernauer James A.
Published: September 2023

This article discusses six types of “voices’ noted in the title that we encounter during our lives whether pre-pandemic, pandemic, or post-pandemic as we pursue the exhilarating quest to learn about ourselves and our world. The purpose of this article is to position and contextualize our current experience living in a world that continues to try and outsmart the mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within the context of these six “logues” and how we might incorporate these new understandings into qualitative inquiry. An additional contextual component is the iPhone (and its variants) that also has had a dramatic impact on our lives but in a very different way. It is hoped that readers will critically evaluate this article since it represents the author’s perspective, perceptions, and understanding of why these voices are important in qualitative inquiry and how they interact with memories and the stories that surround them. The extent to which readers utilize these six logues in their own qualitative thinking and inquiries will be the measure of its transferability and usefulness.

Published: September 2023

Drug repurposing has emerged as a promising strategy for expediting drug development by identifying new therapeutic applications for existing drugs. In this study employed in silico screening approach to explore the DrugBank database for potential phosphodiesterase 10 (PDE10) inhibitors with applications in neurological, psychiatric disorders and cancer treatment. PDE10 plays a crucial role in regulating cyclic nucleotide levels in the brain and has been implicated in various diseases, including schizophrenia, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s diseases, and certain types of cancer. Through molecular docking, we evaluated the interactions and energetics of 28 candidate inhibitors with PDE10. Notably, 17 candidates met all selection criteria, presenting excellent potential for further investigation. The theoretical inhibitors demonstrated favorable ADMETx properties, and their adverse effects were comparable or lower than controls. These findings indicate the viability of repurposing existing drugs, such as Nebivolol, Fluvastatin, Pioglitazone and others, for PDE10 inhibition in diverse pathologies. Validation of these candidates in preclinical studies may open new avenues for drug development and clinical applications, addressing unmet medical needs in various disorders and cancer treatment.

Published: September 2023

The chromosome is the genetic blueprint for all living things, from plants to animals to even individual cells, and is responsible for passing on traits from parents to offspring. DNA in chromosomes determines how offspring will look.Some insects just deposit their eggs wherever they happen to be, whereas others choose to hide them, such as in tree trunks or dead animal tissues, or even to attach them to the male's posterior after mating. And the eggs of cockroaches and grasshoppers are encased in a spongy material; And just a few of insect species may reproduce without fertilization; in these cases, the females nonetheless reproduce and develop normally despite having only half as many chromosomes as viable eggs. typical of aphids and other small insects that feed on juice. In the spring, when food juice is plentiful, plants produce offspring asexually; in the summer, when food is short, they reproduce sexually. In conclusion, it is safe to assume that most bug species place their eggs in close proximity to a food supply.

Objectives: Our purpose is to illustrate the radiological aspects of Meckel’s diverticulum as an etiology of small bowel obstruction in infants. Material: We report a group of 4 patients with Meckel’s diverticulum complicated with small bowel obstruction that underwent surgery. We reviewed patient records, clinical presentation, ultrasound and CT imaging and intraoperative findings. Results: All included patients presented symptoms of bowel obstruction, one patient presented acute abdomen symptoms. The median age of our group was 5 years, all patients were males. All patients underwent radiological explorations. Ultrasound showed small bowel dilatation in all cases, and CT scan confirmed small bowel obstruction with ischemic complications in one patient. All of the 4 patients had laparotomy with the finding of MD responsible of small bowel obstruction in all cases, with on case of perforated loop and latero-caecal abscess. The obstruction was secondary to fibrous adhesions in three cases and the omphalomesenteric duct in one cases. All the patients had normal evolution with no post-operative complications. Conclusion: Meckel’s diverticulum represents a rare embryological remnant. It is a differential diagnosis in pediatric bowel obstruction and remains an intraoperative surprise despite the very abvanced imaging studies.

Objectives: Our purpose is to illustrate the radiological aspects of an apical hydatid cyst as a rare cause of Pancoast Tobias syndrome. Material: We report the case of a 35 years-old man, who was admitted to our department with a Pancoast tobias syndrome. Results: The patient presented to our department with a history of shoulder and right chest pain radiating downward toward the ulnar side of his homolateral arm. He also reported hemoptysis and hydatidemesis (hydatid cysts and membranes in the vomitus). Radiological investigations suggested the diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the left lung apex which was confirmed by surgical excision and pathological examination of the lesion. This case highlights an uncommon etiology of Pancoast syndrome which might mislead physicians in their practice. Conclusion: In conclusion, a primary hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Pancoast's syndrome especially in endemic regions. Unlike Pancoast tumors, this benign lesion has a very favourable prognosis and good surgical results.

Published: September 2023

The purpose: explain the concept of totem in traditional Chinese patterns, and introduce representative totem elements and their implication. Analyze the traditional Chinese patterns that appear in modern clothing design.

Methodology. A systematic approach was used in this research to project contemporary modern clothing design: history-analytical, literary-analytical, morphological, and comparative analysis of the creative primary source, associative means of its adaptation to the actual fashion trends. The methodology of the research is based on the systematic analysis of the design projects using elements of traditional patterns in China.

Results. Studies have shown that not all widely used traditional Chinese patterns are totems, and totems are patterns with more symbolic meaning. Several representative traditional Chinese patterns are displayed. The cultural connotation of Chinese style patterns widely used in modern clothing design is revealed, and the innovative methods of patterns are also considered.

The scientific novelty of this research lies in its compilation of prior studies, which help differentiate between traditional Chinese patterns and totems. Additionally, the study introduces the concepts of totem worship, reproductive worship, and soul worship that are embedded within these patterns.

Published: September 2023

Мета: дослідження чинників, що впливають на формування візуально-інформаційних комунікацій інклюзивного середовища та визначення ролі дизайн-освіти у цих процесах.
Методологія. Для досягнення поставленої мети в процесі наукового дослідження було використано системний підхід. Це дозволило розглянути динамічні трансформації візуально-інформаційних комунікацій як цілісне явище, яке формує поле для комунікації із середовищем та людиною і має здатність до адаптації. У цьому дослідженні адаптація пов’язана із формуванням інклюзивного середовища. При розгляді прикладів практичної діяльності використано аналітичний метод, а також методи образно-стилістичного та порівняльного аналізу.
Результати. Показано, які механізми залучаються при запровадженні змін візуально-інформаційного середовища та із чим ці процеси пов’язано. Масштабність таких змін визначається державною політикою на основі формування курсу ідеологічного, культурного виховання суспільства готового до сприйняття візуальних установок та здатного сприймати об’єкти предметно-просторового середовища як візуальний текст. Констатується, що назріла необхідність формування дизайну інтернаціональної знакової мови для встановлення комунікації «людина-середовище» в інклюзивному просторі. Вирішувати нові виклики повинен дизайнер, здатний розрізняти візуально значимі форми, та свідомий до того, що вся його діяльність – своєрідна візуалізація. Тому ще на етапі підготовки у дизайн-освітніх закладах у нього мають сформуватися візуальні установки і візуальні цінності. Як це реалізується на практиці показано на студентських роботах студентів-дизайнерів Черкаського державного технологічного університету, Херсонського національного технічного університету та Краківської академії образотворчих мистецтв ім. Яна Матейка (Польща).
Наукова новизна. Проведено мистецтвознавчий аналіз творів, присвячених візуально-інформаційній комунікації в інклюзивному середовищі. Для аналізу практичних напрацювань у сфері візуально-інформаційних комунікацій інклюзивного середовища розглянуто роботи представників вітчизняного дизайн-освітнього простору та колег однієї із країн Європейського Союзу, а саме Польщі.
Практична значущість. Дослідження розкривають дизайнерські підходи для вирішення художньо-образних завдань при проєктуванні систем візуально-інформаційних комунікацій в інклюзивному середовищі із врахуванням ергономічних складових та формуванням певних естетичних характеристик об’єктів проєктного пошуку.

VISUAL AND GRAPHIC TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE VALUES OF CHINA'S BELT AND ROAD INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE
Authors: Yuan P. , Krotova T.
Published: September 2023

Purpose: To study the role of branding and design elements in the effective communication of the values of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 

Methodology: The methods of observation, comparison, synthesis and generalization have been used to analyze the existing branding and design elements within the initiative, as well as to review official documents. Methods of formal, stylistic, compositional, and coloristic analysis have been used to analyze visual designs used by companies and organizations associated with the BRI.

Results: The article analyzes the latest research that helps to determine the methods of using images, typography and color to effectively represent the cooperation and inclusiveness associated with the BRI, to implement successful communication of BRI values and promote the goals of the initiative. The features of the use of maps and networks, compasses, flags, and landmarks of transport infrastructure for communication within the BRI values are considered. The key design features that are often used in the visual media of BRI branding are identified. These include objects of communication and cooperation (maps, roads, and railways), as well as objects that symbolize the values of the cultures of the participating countries (flags, landmarks). It has been found that blue and gold colors are often used to denote stability and success in branding elements.

Scientific novelty: Previous studies have focused mainly on the economic and political implications of BRI. Instead, the present study is the first to analyze branding and design elements in terms of communication effectiveness and their use to effectively communicate BRI values to a global audience. In addition, the study provides ideas for developing branding components for international development projects.

Practical significance. This study has a number of practical implications for organizations and governments involved in BRI initiatives. The results of the study can be used to develop more effective branding and communication strategies to communicate the value of BRI to a global audience.

Authors:   School of Foreign Languages, Iskenderun Technical University, 31200, İskenderun-Hatay, Türkiye, Tanır Ahmet Tanır
Published: September 2023

The present study investigates the effects of online collaborative writing instruction combined with metacognitive guidance on students' writing performance in German as a foreign language and their metacognitive awareness. For this purpose, a total of 90 students are randomly and equally divided into three groups: group with online collaborative writing instruction combined with metacognitive guidance (on-CWI+MG), group with face-to-face collaborative writing instruction combined with metacognitive guidance (f2f-CWI+MG) and group with in-class individual writing activities without metacognitive guidance (i-WRITE). Results revealed that the on-CWI+MG group showed the best writing performance and there was a complex interaction with the f2f-CWI+MG group in terms of metacognitive awareness. Moreover, the two basic levels of metacognitive awareness, knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognition, had a predictive effect on writing performance, with knowledge about cognition having a larger effect. Relevant implications for better understanding online collaborative writing instruction combined with metacognitive guidance are discussed.

Introducción. El trasplante es la mejor opción de tratamiento para los pacientes con enfermedad renal terminal, sin embargo, existe discrepancia entre las listas de espera y la disponibilidad de órganos a partir de la donación cadavérica. Buscando aumentar el número de órganos disponibles se implementó el trasplante con donante vivo. A partir de la introducción de técnicas mínimamente invasivas para la nefrectomía, el donante vivo ha logrado cifras cercanas al 50 % de los trasplantes realizados en muchas instituciones, debido a los beneficios propios del procedimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir los resultados después de la incorporación del procedimiento totalmente laparoscópico en nuestra institución.
Métodos. Se hizo un análisis retrospectivo de las características de los pacientes llevados a nefrectomía para obtención de injerto por técnica totalmente laparoscópica y los resultados en un solo centro en Cali, Colombia, desde noviembre de 2019 hasta octubre de 2022. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante la revisión de las historias clínicas electrónicas.
Resultados. Se realizaron 78 nefrectomías para obtención de injerto con técnica totalmente laparoscópica. El tiempo operatorio promedio fue de 152 minutos, el sangrado promedio fue de 12 ml, la estancia hospitalaria promedio del donante fue de 2,8 días. La tasa de complicaciones fue de 7,6 % (4 pacientes con complicación Clavien-Dindo I y 2 pacientes Clavien-Dindo IIIb). No se presentó ningún caso de mortalidad.
Conclusiones. La técnica totalmente laparoscópica resulta ser una técnica segura con baja tasa de morbilidad y excelentes beneficios para los donantes.

Evaluating the Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis: A Comprehensive Analysis of Access to Primary Care Physicians and Healthcare Disparities in Eastern Quebec
Authors: Simoneau Christian
Published: September 2023

This study assess the relationship between the deficiency of medical care accessibility in rural areas, with a particular focus on the most susceptible and vulnerable segments of the population. The study employed the Enhanced Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2SFCA) methodology and examined its implications for the Spatial Mismatch Theory in line with the Central Place Theory. The results indicates that the Central Place Theory appears more suitable for elucidating access levels and that the provision and accessibility of primary care services remain inextricably intertwined with, and dependent upon, the existence of sufficient road infrastructure. As such, individuals residing at substantial distances from the primary road network may experience severely compromised access to such services. This study contributes to our understanding of the challenges facing rural populations in accessing essential medical care and highlights the need for further research and policy interventions to address these issues.
