Authors: Klomfas Elżbieta , Chojnacka-Kowalewska Grażyna
Published: January 2025

Wstęp. Rak jądra jest najczęstszym nowotworem występującym u mężczyzn w wieku od 15 do 35 lat. Badania pokazują, że samobadanie jąder ma duży potencjał w zapobieganiu tej choroby. Jednak liczne doniesienia wskazują, że samoanaliza jest słabo rozumiana i słabo komunikowana wśród młodych ludzi wielu grup etnicznych. Niepokojący jest fakt, że w ciągu ostatnich 30 lat liczba przypadków raka jądra potroiła się, a w 2010 r. odnotowano prawie 1100 przypadków.
Cel. Celem niniejszej pracy jest ocena wiedzy i zachowań mężczyzn w kierunku profilaktyki nowotworu jądra.
Materiały i metody. Badanie ankietowe przeprowadzono zgodnie z zachowaniem anonimowości na Oddziale Urologii Wojewódzkiego Szpitala Specjalistycznego we Włocławku. W badaniu wzięło udział 100 pacjentów płci męskiej. Wiek został określony w przedziale wiekowym od 18 roku życia do 46 roku życia i wyżej. Uzyskane dane z kwestionariusza ankietowego poddane analizie statystycznej Chi-kwadrat i przedstawione w tabelach oraz na wykresach. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą sondażu diagnostycznego.
Wyniki i wnioski. Poziom wiedzy mężczyzn na temat profilaktyki nowotworu jądra jest niewystarczający. Osoby badane nie potrafią wskazać objawów dotyczących nowotworu jądra. Istnieje związek między wiedzą na temat profilaktyki raka jądra a dokonaną przez osoby badane samokontroli. Osoby badane przejawiają zachowania prozdrowotne na poziomie przeważnie przeciętnym. Istnieje związek korelacji między poziomem troski o zdrowie cechujący się stosowaniem prawidłowych zachowań zdrowotnych a czynnikami socjodemograficznymi tj.: wiekiem i miejscem zamieszkania.

Nursing Care for a Child After Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy
Authors: Obielak Izabela Dorota
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Hypertrophy of the tonsils is a common ENT problem, often arising during viral infections. In many cases, the third tonsil (adenoid) does not regress spontaneously after the infection. Absolute indications for tonsillectomy include conditions such as sleep apnoea and hearing loss that persist despite conservative treatment. Tonsillectomy in children is performed under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
Aim. The aim of the study was to present nursing care issues for a child after undergoing adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy performed under general anaesthesia.
Material and Methods. The study employed the individual case research method, using techniques such as interviews with the child’s caregivers, nursing observation, and qualitative analysis of the patient’s documentation.
Overview. In the child, immediately after an adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy procedure, a number of care problems were identified. As a member of the therapeutic team, the nurse participates in the treatment and diagnostic process, working alongside the doctor to establish diagnostic and therapeutic goals aimed at restoring the child’s health.
Conclusions. Nursing interventions in prevention, therapy, rehabilitation, education, and emotional support helped improve the child’s quality of life following the adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. These actions also enabled the appropriate involvement of parents or guardians in the child’s care and their adaptation to the new health situation.
Government Intervention Strategy in Poverty Reduction: Study on the District and City in Indonesia Across 2016-2023
Authors: Priambodo Aln Pujo , Djirimu Mohammad Ahlis
Published: January 2025

Poverty remains a significant challenge in Indonesia, with a national rate of around 9.36% in 2023 and 16 provinces exceeding this poverty level. This study aims to analyze poverty patterns across districts and cities by using K-Means Clustering and examine the effectiveness of government interventions in poverty reduction through panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Results indicate that higher-poverty areas benefit most from social assistance, village funds, credit schemes, and GRDP, while capital spending exacerbates poverty. On the other hand, lower-poverty areas achieve reductions through capital spending, village funds, and GRDP, with minimal impact from social assistance and credit schemes. Also, these results emphasize the need for targeted interventions, such as optimizing social assistance and credit access programs in higher-poverty areas and implementing growth-focused strategies, including physical infrastructure development, in lower-poverty regions.

Authors: Xiao Yi , Zhang Sirui , Ma Yuanzheng , Wang Shichan , Li Chunyu , Liang Yan , Shang Huifang
Published: January 2025

Background

Despite the increasing popularity of electronic devices, the longitudinal effects of daily prolonged electronic device usage on brain health and the aging process remain unclear.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the daily use of mobile phones/computers on the brain structure and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

Methods

We used data from the UK Biobank, a longitudinal population-based cohort study, to analyze the impact of mobile phone use duration, weekly usage time, and playing computer games on the future brain structure and the future risk of various neurodegenerative diseases, including all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), all-cause parkinsonism (ACP), and Parkinson disease (PD). All the characteristics of using mobile phones and playing computer games were collected through face-to-face interviews at baseline, and outcomes were extracted from the algorithmic combinations of self-reported medical conditions, hospital admissions, and death registries. In addition, a group of participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at follow-up. Cox regression and linear regression were performed.

Results

The study included over 270,000 participants for risk analysis, with a mean baseline age of approximately 55.85 (SD 8.07) years. The average follow-up duration was approximately 13.9 (SD 1.99) years. Lengthy mobile phone use was associated with a reduced risk of ACD (2-4 years: hazard ratio [HR] 0.815, 95% CI 0.729-0.912, P<.001; 5-8 years: HR 0.749, 95% CI 0.677-0.829, P<.001; >8 years: HR 0.830, 95% CI 0.751-0.918, P<.001), AD (5-8 years: HR 0.787, 95% CI 0.672-0.922, P=.003), and VD (2-4 years: HR 0.616, 95% CI 0.477-0.794, P<.001; 5-8 years: HR 0.729, 95% CI 0.589-0.902, P=.004; >8 years: HR 0.750, 95% CI 0.605-0.930, P=.009) compared to rarely using mobile phones. Additionally, lengthy mobile phone use was linked to a decreased risk of ACP (5-8 years: HR 0.747, 95% CI 0.637-0.875, P<.001; >8 years: HR 0.774, 95% CI 0.663-0.904, P=.001) and PD (5-8 years: HR 0.760, 95% CI 0.644-0.897, P=.001; >8 years: HR 0.777, 95% CI 0.660-0.913, P=.002) in participants older than 60 years. However, higher weekly usage time did not confer additional risk reduction compared to lower weekly usage of mobile phones. The neuroimaging analysis involved 35,643 participants, with an average duration of approximately 9.0 years between baseline and neuroimaging scans. Lengthy mobile phone use was related to a thicker cortex in different areas of the brain.

Conclusions

Lengthy mobile phone use is associated with a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases and improved brain structure compared to minimal usage. Our research provides valuable background knowledge for future studies on the impact of modern electronic devices on brain health.
Marketing of ultra-processed foods in two Swedish cities, using a child-centric geoenvironmental approach: a cross-sectional study (Preprint)
Authors: Spolander Sofia , Fagerberg Petter , Langlet Billy , Sarafis Ioannis , Ioakimidis Ioannis
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Childhood obesity is a public health concern associated with serious health issues. The food environment, which in recent year undergone widespread changes leading to an increase access to ultra-processed foods (UPFs), has been given attention in relation to development of childhood obesity. One part of the food environment is food marketing. Studies from around the world, including Sweden, show that the food marketing landscape is dominated by foods associated with negative health outcomes. However, in previous studies the investigated areas have been determined by researchers.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to test a new child centric methodology to further advance the understanding of the outdoor food advertisement landscape in Sweden.

METHODS

A cross sectional study was performed in two Swedish counties (Stockholm and Gävleborg). Initially, 45 students from four schools in areas with varying SES used a smartphone application (app) to take pictures of food advertisements that they encountered in their everyday lives. The app also recorded the GPS location of where the pictures were taken. Pictures with associated GPS-data were automatically uploaded and visualised in a secure cloud-based dashboard allowing for identification of areas where children see many food advertisements, so called “hotspot areas”. The identified hotspot areas were subsequently visited by two researchers who systematically mapped all the food advertisements in the areas using cameras. All pictures of food advertisements taken by the researchers in the hotspot areas were later analysed based on their content of UPFs, health promoting foods such as fruit, berries, vegetables and seafood (FBVS) as well as price promotions.

RESULTS

Based on 1310 pictures of food advertisements taken by the students, 34 hotspot areas were identified. A total of 2955 pictures of food advertisements were taken by the researchers in the hotspot areas during the mapping activity. The results of the picture analysis showed that 78 % of the advertisements contained UPFs and 21 % contained FBVS. Out of all food advertisement in all areas combined, 24% contained a price promotion. Out of all price promotions, 74 % advertised UPFs and 20 % advertised FBVS.

CONCLUSIONS

This study showed that the vast majority of outdoor food advertisements in areas where children spend time advertise UPFs and only a 21 % advertise health promoting food such as FBVS. The findings continues to highlight that the food advertised in the Swedish outdoor environment is not in line with dietary guidelines and that it might be time to consider regulatory measures.

Authors: Al-Qahtani Ali Fahad , Abbas Hanaa , Cresci Stefano , Di Pietro Roberto
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic coincided with an equally threatening global epidemic of information: an infodemic. Infodemics are situations characterized by an overabundance of uncontrolled information – including rumors, false information, and conspiracy theories – that sets the stage for all sorts of online manipulations and misbehaviors. This unprecedented situation sparked a torrent of research on topics such as the detection of COVID-19 misinformation, the tracking of misinformation spread, including the detection of those actors involved in the diffusion, and the assessment of the effects and consequences of the COVID-19 infodemic.

OBJECTIVE

In the ongoing effort to contrast the novel threat posed by global infodemics, this survey sheds light on the different actors in the field, their operating methodologies, interactions, objectives, impact, and provides new research directions on this highly multidisciplinary topic. We systematically review and evaluate the existing research on the misinformation that spread on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic, and discuss ways to counter them, as well as highlight the shortcomings and the reasons that cause misinformation to be propagated.

METHODS

This survey collects and critically discusses 250 recent computational works at the intersection between COVID-19, online harms, and online platforms. We only included publications that met the criteria of utilizing computer science methods and being conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS

Our analysis identifies the main problems tackled by the scientific community, evaluates the proposed solutions, summarizes the achievements obtained so far, and highlights current challenges and promising avenues for future research and experimentation.

CONCLUSIONS

This survey aims to give an overview of the current state of research on the COVID-19 infodemic, while also highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of this topic. We give an analysis on how misinformation is spread, the effects of misinformation on sentiment, the psychological, social, and demographic factors that contribute to its spread, epiphenomena, as well as the range of actors involved in spreading misinformation, and countermeasures. The final section identifies challenges, shortcomings, and potential blind spots in the collective effort of the scientific community in combating this issue, hopefully contributing to a better understanding of where to focus resources for future research to address those challenges.

Published: January 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant challenge to global public health, as overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of resistant bacteria, making infections more difficult and expensive to treat. This article explores the rise of antibiotic resistance, its impact on treatment regimens, and case studies highlighting the emergence of resistant organisms like Klebsiella pneumoniae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Enterococcus faecium. It examines the causes of AMR, including overprescription in healthcare, agricultural use of antibiotics, and inadequate infection control measures, alongside the economic and ecological implications. Recent advancements in research, such as new antibiotic development, bacteriophage therapy, and antimicrobial peptides, offer potential solutions, but the need for global collaboration and improved stewardship programs is crucial. The article stresses the importance of continued research, surveillance, and the development of alternative therapies to combat AMR and mitigate its widespread impact on both public health and the economy.

The management of human dissection labs and medical education are significantly impacted by the resurgence and spread of monkeypox (Mpox) as a global health issue, especially in Africa. Human dissection, a crucial part of anatomical education, requires strict procedures to protect medical students and instructors from the spread of infectious diseases. This article highlights important hazards and biohazard concerns while examining the difficulties presented by the Mpox pandemic in the context of cadaveric dissection. Through a review of literature, institutional protocols and epidemiological data, we propose improved personal protective equipment (PPE) regulations and disinfection guidelines tailored for African medical facilities. This article highlights the need for capacity-building programs to equip educators and students with skills to manage infectious disease risks effectively. By tackling these challenges, we aim to advance medical education safely while contributing to discussions on public health emergency adaptations and fostering pandemic resilience.
In Sharing We Trust. Taking Advantage of a Diverse Consortium to Build a Transparent Data Service in Catalonia
Authors: Llebot Clara , Alcalá Mireia , Anglada i de Ferrer Lluís M.
Published: January 2025

The Consorci de Serveis Universitaris de Catalunya (CSUC) is a consortium that serves 13 universities and 33 research centers in Catalonia and neighboring communities. In 2017 the Consortium created an Open Science department to collaborate with universities and research centers on facilitating the adoption of Open Science requirements. Even though CSUC also offers services to researchers directly (for example, its supercomputing resources), this report will focus on CSUC’s work with its member institutions to create and offer data management services. We will explain how CSUC has led the creation of a robust shared governance system, and how it takes advantage of the diversity of its members to create useful, high quality, and transparent services for all researchers in the Catalan research system. Through sharing each other’s experiences, values and priorities, the result is better than separate ad-hoc solutions. The process also creates a community of practitioners that develop expertise together with the help of professional development opportunities organized by CSUC, like recurrent self-learning labs focused on data curation tools, techniques and processes.

Psicomotricidad terapéutica infantil: perfil profesional y motivos de derivación a tratamiento en Uruguay
Authors: López Gómez Alejandro , Gallicchio Paula
Published: January 2025

La psicomotricidad ha diversificado los paradigmas teóricos que la sustentan y a nivel terapéutico asume en Uruguay una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, que considera aspectos sensoriomotores, psicoafectivos y vinculares de las personas. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer el actual perfil profesional de quienes se desempañan en clínica psicomotriz en Uruguay, sus encuadres de trabajo y los motivos que originan la derivación. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal. Se encuestó mediante autorreporte a 145 psicomotricistas que realizaron terapia psicomotriz infantil entre 2020 y 2021. Las variables fueron perfil sociolaboral, encuadre de trabajo y motivos de derivación. El 97.9 % son mujeres, 46.2 % realizaron estudios de posgrado. Atienden semanalmente 23 pacientes en promedio, mayoritariamente varones escolares. Los motivos de derivación más frecuentes son el TEA (71.9 %) y dificultades grafomotrices (59 %), siendo el menos frecuente la inhibición psicomotriz (0.7 %). La clasificación y descripción clásica de trastornos psicomotores no se corresponde con los principales motivos de derivación, que se asocian a trastornos del neurodesarrollo. Se evidencia una brecha entre lo que los psicomotricistas aprenden en el grado, el perfil actual de pacientes y las exigencias del campo laboral. Es necesario en futuros estudios revisar los encuadres y actualizar la clasificación de los trastornos psicomotores.
Caracterización de la enseñanza de la física relativista en las instituciones públicas de educación secundaria del Departamento de Nariño
Authors: Muñoz Burbano Zulman Estela , Salgado Fino Robinson Javier , Gavilanes Santander Andrés Eduardo
Published: January 2025

Este estudio se relaciona con la tesis de maestría en educación sobre la caracterización de la enseñanza de la Teoría Especial de la Relatividad (TER) en relación con el Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido (CDC) en las instituciones de educación secundaria del Departamento de Nariño y presenta algunos de los resultados encontrados. Se afirma que la enseñanza de la TER es relevante en la educación secundaria no solo desde una perspectiva propedéutica, sino porque permite conectar con el CDC; además, estos temas generan interés en los estudiantes, pero los Estándares Básicos de Competencias y los DBA para física de grado décimo y undécimo no integran los tópicos de física moderna y, por tanto, no contemplan la enseñanza de la TER. Se encuestó a los docentes encargados de impartir la asignatura y los hallazgos dan cuenta de la importancia del CDC en la enseñanza de la TER y la confirmación de la hipótesis.

ANALYSIS OF JUDGMENT No. 40/PDT.G/2023/PN.BNA ON DEFAULT OF DAYAH BUILDING PROJECT ACCORDING TO THEORY OF IJARAH 'ALA AL-'AMAL
Authors: Sulthanul Akram Zulqahharsyah  , Abd Razak
Published: January 2025

The default case in the Dayah Safinatussalamah construction project in Aceh Singkil is an example of the complexity of implementing construction contracts based on ijârah 'ala al-'mâl contracts in Islamic law. CV Afdi Pratama as the contractor sued the Aceh Dyah Education Office for changes and additional costs that were not in accordance with the contract. This study aims to analyse the judge's consideration in rejecting the lawsuit over the construction contract dispute in Decision Number 40/Pdt.G/Pn.Bna and also the review of this decision according to the ijârah 'ala al-'amâl contract. The research method used is a normative juridical approach with a case study method. The main data is in the form of judge's decision documents, supported by literature review related to fiqh muamalah and contract regulations. Analysis was carried out qualitatively with content analysis to analyse trial facts, lawsuit materials, and legal considerations. The results showed that judges tended to use a formalistic approach by prioritising written evidence, ignoring technical realities and oral directions in project implementation. This decision does not reflect substantive justice, especially in recognising the plaintiff's right to additional costs due to work changes. In the perspective of ijârah 'la al-'amâl, this decision does not fully comply with the principles of justice (al-'is) and mutual consent (at-taradhin), which are the core of the contract in Islamic law so that the contract becomes fasid.
Pedagogical strategies in geosciences: connecting the academy, ancestral knowledge, and women potters in a post-pandemic scenario
Authors: Díaz Alarcón Jhonathan Andres , Pérez Fonseca Yaneth Cecilia , Díaz Lagos Mercedes
Published: January 2025

The specialized language in academic environments limits the processes of social appropriation of knowledge and causes a disconnection between ancestral components and the communities. This article explores university extension spaces that stimulate this relationship through art, pedagogy, and culture to facilitate the bidirectional knowledge exchange in a suburban community of women miners and potters in Sogamoso, Colombia. This initiative uses strategies such as social geology, Service Learning (ApS), and Social Innovation with a double-diamond methodology to seek solutions to social challenges. By combining these approaches, more effective and sustainable solutions can be developed that address the real needs of communities and promote positive social change. Pedagogical activities were developed in virtual and face-to-face environments during the social restrictions imposed by COVID-19 and post-pandemic in-person workshops during 2020-2023. The synergy between participants allowed for an approach to ancestral knowledge and its relation to research processes on clay materials, the artisanal process, and adaptation towards a sustainable community under a gender perspective. The importance of raising awareness, disseminating, and promoting the SDGs from an equal opportunities' standpoint and the vindication of women in activities such as mining and pottery is discussed.
Una Mirada a los Aspectos Sociales y al Marco Jurídico Colombiano de las personas de género no binario.
Authors: Alarcon Lora Andres Antonio , Jiménez Romero Daniel José , Cortes Gómez German José
Published: January 2025

Las personas de género no binario han sido históricamente renegadas e invisibilizadas por la sociedad y de manera evidente por parte del Estado colombiano y todas sus entidades a nivel nacional como a nivel territorial, esto ha suscitado un escenario en que las políticas públicas y el sistema normativo no se han desarrollado de manera eficiente, propicia y acertada, generando que el ordenamiento jurídico nacional se desarrolle sin su participación y representación, dándose  de esta manera una gran invisibilizarían de este sector poblacional.  Es por esto que este articulo busca de manera certera realizar un análisis del marco jurídico
colombiano relacionado los instrumentos impulsados por el legislativo y el ejecutivo con el propósito de lograr la protección de los derechos fundamentales de las personas de género no binario, trayendo a colación la normatividad vigente, los decretos administrativos y jurisprudencia de la honorable Corte Constitucional de Colombia, todo esto se realizara mediante el empleo de herramientas metodológicas de carácter cualitativo, que ayudan a poder comprender de manera correcta y respetuosa el contexto histórico en el que se dan estas normas. Es por esto por lo que en el presente artículo se centrara en desarrollar en un inicio sobre los derechos humanos de las personas de género no binario, la cis-normatividad como uno de los mayores problemas que se tienen en Colombia, y la regulación normativa sobre la comunidad LGTBIQ+ y las personas de género no binario como sujetos de especial protección constitucional, donde analizado lo anterior se detalla que la normativa que se emplea por parte del Estado colombiano es relativamente nueva, es un paso iniciar, sin embargo, falta muchos más por detallar y establecer para que las personas de género no binario gocen plenamente de sus derechos fundamentales.

El tipo de vivienda es un factor clave en la determinación de la calidad de vida de una familia. En las regiones de Colombia, se encuentran diferentes tipos de viviendas, desde casas de una sola planta hasta edificios de varios pisos, cada uno con sus propias características y necesidades. Estudio cuantitativo descriptivo, se utilizaron los datos recogidos en el capítulo B Datos de la vivienda de la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida - ECV 2022 del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística -DANE. En las casas, se evidencia que el 81,20% la población de la región Amazónica tiene este tipo de vivienda. La relación entre el estado de la casa y la salud de sus residentes, especialmente por el mal ambiente y las condiciones insalubres de la casa pueden provocar resultados negativos para la salud. Las condiciones climáticas y los materiales de una vivienda afectan la salud y el bienestar de las personas, puesto que si se construye una con materiales no aptos a las condiciones térmicas y climáticas de una región, puede generar diversas enfermedades y desencadenar la proliferación de animales o gentes que transmitan ciertas enfermedades.
Pero Budmani’s four letters to Hugo Schuchardt
Authors: Ligorio Orsat
Published: January 2025

In 1899 and 1900, Pero Budmani, the then editor of the Dictionary of the Yugoslav Academy (Recnik JAZU), wrote four letters to Hugo Schuchardt, a renowned German scholar specializing in Romance languages and Basque. Their correspondence has recently been digitized within the Schuchardt Archives at the University of Graz. These letters discuss the meaning and origins of the Serbo-Croatian piscatorial term trbok and even offer a valuable insight into Budmani?s interest in Dalmatian-Romance loanwords. Budmani was the first scholar to study this subject; in his paper Dialect of Dubrovnik, as it is Spoken Today (Dubrovacki dijalekat, kako se sada govori) (1883), he identified the first loanwords of Dalmatian-Romance origin in Serbo-Croatian (60 of them, to be precise). From one of the letters to Schuchardt, it can be inferred that he later intended to publish another study on the subject ? a project which never came to fruition. For this purpose, he gathered about sixty Dalmatian-Romance loanwords in total, including those he already published in the Dialect of Dubrovnik. The paper concludes that the newly collected Dalmatian-Romance loanwords (not more than 10 in number) must have been the ones that Budmani identified while editing the letter K for the Dictionary of the Yugoslav Academy, i.e., SCr. kent?n?r ?silk thread, string?, k?ra ?tuft?, k?jerna ?Cerna gigas? and k?menat ?crack between two boards on a ship?, to which may be added SCr. g?ra ?Smaris alcedo?, specifically designated as a Dalmatian-Romance loanword in one of Budmani?s letters to Schuchardt.
Word formation chains of denominal multistage derivatives with initial formant -iti in Slovenian
Authors: Kern Boris
Published: January 2025

The article presents and analyzes the suffix combinatorics exhibited by
denominal multistage derivatives whose initial suffix is -iti. An
examination of whether the semantic restriction of the corpus material
(sensory perception) yields different word formation chains than the
non-restricted one (material resulting from the KOBOS project, including
BSSJ, SSKJ 2 and the Gigafida 2.0 corpus) revealed that the combinatorial
picture is quite different. The KOBOS material shows that the combinatorics
of the initial suffix -iti is among the most diversified, encompassing 36
different suffix chains. In the material derived from nouns denoting
senses, the suffix -iti as a base formant appears in the following four
word-formation chains: (1) -iti + -ati + -anje, (2) -iti + -ati + -alo +
-ni, (3) -iti + -ati + -oc, (4) -iti + -ati + -n. The KOBOS material
indicates that most sequences are bipartite: -iti + -ec, -iti + -ez, -iti +
-ilec, -iti + -un, -iti + -ilka, -iti + -nica, -iti + -enje, -iti + -?, -iti
+ -ka, -iti + -ina, -iti + -je, -iti + -isce, -iti + -ec. These are followed
by tripartite chains: -iti + -itev + -en, -iti + -av + -elj, -iti + -el +
-ost, -iti + -en + -ec, -iti + -en + -ik, -iti + -en + -ost, -iti + -ilen +
-ik, -iti + -ljiv + -ost; and two quadripartite chains: -iti + -el + ina +
-ica and -iti + -el + ina + -ast.

Potassium May Have Remarkable Dispersive Effect on Soil Structure
Authors: E Farahani
Published: January 2025

Soil structure is central for ecosystem services included crop productivity and erosion control. Two important characteristics
of soil structure are form and stability, which can affect soil functions such as soil fluid transport capability that regulates
soil aeration and water infiltration [1]. Clay particles associated with mineral and organic soil components are essential in
soil structure stability and for sustaining favourable soil conditions in agricultural soils. Monovalent cations such as sodium
(Na) or potassium (K) may create clay dispersion and swelling which result in soil structural degradation [2]. Exchangeable
K may disperse soil structure similar to Na, however it has received less attention because amounts of K are typically low in
salt-affected soils [3]. Only a few studies have shown that K, which is one of macro-nutrients, can also affect soil structure even
when the exchangeable Na concentration is small [4]. The effect of K on soil structure compare with Na directly depended on
soil clay mineralogy, it means type of clay and degree of weathering also could affect possible dispersive impact of K on soil
structure [1,4].

Published: January 2025

The article considers the problem of individual psychological characteristics of patients suffering from essential hypertension. Currently, cardiovascular diseases are among the most common. Essential hypertension (EH), which affects approximately 10-15% of the working population, leads to disability of people of working age and an increase in mortality rates. Essential hypertension is the main risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents and myocardial infarctions. Some authors point to the decisive importance of individual psychological characteristics of patients for the course and treatment of this disease. The analyzed data of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the individual psychological characteristics of patients diagnosed with hypertension, as well as data on the influence of the psychological structure of the personality on the course of the disease and adherence to treatment are analyzed. Most authors note that patients with EH are characterized by emotional lability, anxiety, irritability, decreased mood, and increased sensitivity. According to numerous empirical data, a connection between psychological factors and exacerbations of hypertension has been established. In addition, these patients have low adherence to treatment. Individual psychological characteristics of patients with hypertension are important for the prognosis, course of the disease, and its outcome.

Introduction. This study investigates the possibility of increasing the accuracy of numerically solving boundary value problems using the modified Bubnov-Galerkin method with a linear ordinary differential equation, where the coefficients and the right-hand side are continuous functions. The order of the differential equation n must be less than the number of coordinate functions m.

Materials and Methods. A modified Petrov-Galerkin method was used to numerically solve the boundary value problem. It employs a system of linearly independent power-type basis functions on the interval [−1,1], each normalized by the unit Chebyshev norm. The system of linear algebraic equations includes only the linearly independent boundary conditions of the original problem.

Results. For the first time, an integral quadrature formula with a 22nd order error was developed for a uniform grid. This formula is used to calculate the matrix elements and coefficients in the right-hand side of the system of linear algebraic equations, taking into account the scalar product of two functions based on the new quadrature formula. The study proves a theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a solution for boundary value problems with general non-separated conditions, provided that n linearly independent particular solutions of a homogeneous differential equation of order n are known.

Discussion and Conclusion. The hydrodynamic problem in a viscous strong boundary layer with a third-order equation was precisely solved. The analytical solution was compared with its numerical counterpart, and the uniform norm of their difference did not exceed 5·10‒15. The formulas derived using the generalized Bubnov-Galerkin method may be useful for solving boundary value problems with linear ordinary differential equations of the third and higher orders.

Knowledge and Awareness on Sustainable Development Among University Students
Authors: Chou Jaccinta , Vun Leong Wan
Published: January 2025

Sustainable development has attracted great attention lately. As the human population increases, the demand for natural resources for development increases, and this has caused the depletion of non-renewable resources and damage to the environment. Therefore, there is a clear need for global action to create a more sustainable future. The future depends on the students at present because they are the future leaders. The main objective of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and awareness of the concept of sustainable development among the students at the University of Malaysia Sabah (UMS). A set of questionnaires was developed for this preliminary survey. 158 students were randomly engaged to be involved in this study. Based on the findings, the students’ knowledge and awareness level is considered high, and the average values range from approximately 70% to 91%. Findings also showed that terms such as “Eco-Campus,” “Earth Hour,” “Earth Day,” and “Green Energy” are keywords that most of the respondents are familiar with. It was interesting to note that there were still a handful of students unaware of the term “Sustainable Development Goals” at the time of the study (the year 2019). In conclusion, generally, the students have sufficient knowledge and awareness of sustainable development.

Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of implementing activities and materials designed according to incremental self-theory in face-to-face and distance education teaching the cell and divisions unit in the 7th-grade science lesson on students’ academic achievement, self-confidence, and motivation. Another aim is to gather the science teacher’s views about the implementation process.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In the research, a sequential explanatory design, which is a type of mixed research method in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are used together, was used.
Findings: As a result of the research, significant differences were found in favor of the students who received face-to-face education in terms of academic achievement levels, and the students who received distance education in terms of motivation levels. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding self-confidence levels. The teachers, also, stated that the designed education positively affected students’ morale, and motivation toward the lesson.
Highlights: Within the scope of the research, it may be helpful to integrate the teaching process, which is designed in line with the incremental self-theory and does not interfere with the curriculum of any lesson, into other lessons and subjects where students have learning problems and low motivation.

Authors: Arslan Ayten
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of different methods of cooperative learning model on pre-service primary school teachers' attitudes towards environmental problems, conceptual knowledge changes and to reveal their cognitive perceptions.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study group consists of 50 pre-service primary school teachers (30 females and 20 males) studying in the first year of the Department of Primary School Teaching at a state university. An embedded mixed design, one of the mixed research designs, was used in the research. In the quantitative part of the research, a quasi-experimental design without a control group was used. Therefore, the study group consists of two experimental groups, namely Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) and Jigsaw, which are cooperative learning methods. In the qualitative part of the research, phenomenology was used. As data collection tools, the "Attitude Scale towards Environmental Problems (ASEP)," the "Environmental Problems Word Association Test (EPWAT)," and mind maps (MM) prepared by pre-service teachers were used.
Findings: According to the results obtained from the ASEP, it was determined that cooperative learning methods (STAD and Jigsaw) increased the post-test attitude scores of pre-service primary school teachers towards environmental problems compared to the pre-test scores, but this increase was not statistically significant. According to the results obtained from the EPWAT, cooperative learning methods increased pre-service teachers' conceptual knowledge and quality of concepts related to environmental problems. According to the results obtained from MM, it was determined that the pre-service teachers in the groups had perceptions about global environmental problems, types of environmental pollution and preventing environmental problems.
Highlights: It is seen that cooperative learning methods have positive effects on pre-service teachers' conceptual knowledge changes and cognitive perceptions about environmental problems. For this reason, it is emphasized that different methods of cooperative learning should be used in future research on environmental problems.
