Individually and organizationally held values are primary factors driving these forces. Acknowledging and understanding these values helps Extension leaders better understand tendencies toward resistance to change and aid in assessing the alignment of what exists with what could be. This article shares results from an Extension organizational values assessment and examine implications for the Extension system.
Evidence-Based Programming Within Cooperative Extension: How Can We Maintain Program Fidelity While Adapting to Meet Local Needs?
Authors: Olson Jonathn , Welsh Janet , Perkins Daniel
Published: July 2023

In this article, we describe how the recent movement towards evidence-based programming has impacted Extension. We review how the emphasis on implementing such programs with strict fidelity to an underlying program model may be at odds with Extension's strong history of adapting programming to meet the unique needs of children, youth, families, and communities. We describe several techniques that Extension professionals can use to balance program fidelity and adaptability. We suggest that Extension stakeholders may be best served when we tailor certain aspects of interventions without changing the intervention's core components that are responsible for positive outcomes.

Engaging With Others To Identify Areas of Learning
Authors: Page Nicholas Mark
Published: July 2023

This study evaluates how a community of practice of twelve collaborating Modern Foreign Languages teachers can improve students’ literacy levels in the target language and develop learner autonomy. The group of practitioners identified reading as a neglected skill as students and teachers alike consider it to be easier than listening, speaking and writing. The community of practice agreed that taking a phonics approach in reading promotes fluency, which enabled me to create a multipurpose intervention which combined reading aloud with reading comprehension over a series of lessons. The twelve practitioners agreed that the impact of this intervention would be measured by analysing the results of a student questionnaire and by collecting samples of learners’ work. By reading aloud relatable, authentic texts, students enjoyed reading, confidently interpreted longer texts and improved their pronunciation.
Raising Learner Motivation Through a Cultural Pen-pal Scheme
Authors: Shah Dikshali
Published: July 2023

Collaboration amongst colleagues at partnering schools was established in order to decide a shared goal and implement culture into lessons across schools. The aim of this study is to raise motivation for language learning by providing KS4 students the opportunity to interact with the second language community through a pen-pal scheme. Dornyei’s language-related integrative values were applied to develop activities that can raise cross-cultural awareness. Byram’s savoirs informed the assessing of cultural understanding, reflecting on one’s own culture, analysing cultural phenomena and carrying out comparisons. Evidence of these criteria were identified in two sets of email exchanges that KS4 students sent to their pen-pal. To measure the impact of the intervention, pupil work was compared from the first and second email exchange to detect development in cultural understanding. Pre and post intervention questionnaires were employed before and after the two email exchanges, to gauge levels of motivation at School A, surrounding students’ interest to learn about foreign cultures and their attitudes towards direct contact with the target language community. The study found that the initial idea of the pen-pal sparked students’ motivation however, further email exchanges were needed for impact to be made. The study also confirmed that culture and language are inter-related.

Prática docente e afetividade no curso de música: experiências estéticas e sensíveis
Authors: Soares Braga Pereira Elineide , Edna Brito Antonia
Published: July 2023

O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender as experiências estéticas e sensíveis vivenciadas por professores no Curso de Música do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí. A prática docente é compreendida como atividade sistemática, historicamente determinada, cujo foco é o ensinar-aprender na perspectiva da humanização. Desse modo, neste artigo, a afetividade é analisada a partir das contribuições de Vygotsky (1998), Wallon (1968), entre outros. Para Wallon (1968), a afetividade constitui um domínio funcional tão importante quanto a inteligência, pois são construtos inseparáveis na evolução psíquica do ser. A afetividade é compreendida como um processo de sensibilização que envolve emoções e sentimentos, portanto, aspecto constitutivo do desenvolvimento humano. Por essa razão, afetividade e cognição emergem como aspectos indissociáveis nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem. Em termos metodológicos, o estudo se fundamenta no método autobiográfico, com a utilização da pesquisa narrativa. Esse tipo de pesquisa favorece o desenvolvimento da reflexão e da revisitação das experiências vividas, bem como propicia a autoformação. A pesquisa teve como contexto empírico o Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí e contou com a participação de cinco professores de música da referida instituição. Registra como resultado que a afetividade repercute nas experiências estéticas e sensíveis das práticas docentes dos colaboradores da pesquisa e esclarece como essas experiências são percebidas e vivenciadas em suas práticas diárias.

Conscientização gerontológica para a atuação docente-científica de professores de línguas estrangeiras com o público da terceira idade
Authors: Ribeiro de Moraes-Caruzzo Vivian Nádia , De Oliveira Victor César
Published: July 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a construção teórico-metodológica dos conceitos de Consciência e Conscientização Gerontológica de modo a defender sua importância para professores de línguas estrangeiras (LE) para o público da Terceira Idade. Reconhecendo, em nossa atuação docente-científica, as limitações da formação desses profissionais para o trabalho nesse contexto, apresentamos narrativamente nossas experiências na promoção de ações intervencionistas na forma de oficinas e palestras em espaços universitários com alunos de graduação em Letras. Nosso percurso de pesquisa evidencia o desenvolvimento de construtos teórico-práticos ao longo de nosso trabalho intervencionista que, alinhados ao conceito de Gerontologia Educacional e às estratégias de combate ao preconceito relacionado à idade (ageismo) apresentadas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, revelam-se como importantes e necessários. Ademais, nossas observações apontam para o crescimento do interesse investigativo e profissional de professores de LE em formação, que participaram de nossas intervenções de Conscientização Gerontológica, sobre as experiências de ensino-aprendizagem com/por pessoas idosas. Discutimos, então, sobre a hipótese de que a falta de aproximação de (futuros) profissionais da educação linguística com discussões e reflexões sobre a velhice (como estágio natural da vida) e o envelhecimento (como processo multifatorial) acabam por invisibilizar pessoas idosas em situação de aprendizagem de LE, corroborada pela narrativa de nossas experiências em continuidade.

Optimized Hausdorff Distance Loss Function Based on a GPU-Accelerated Distance Transform
Authors: Black Dale , Li Wenbo , Molloi Sabee
Published: July 2023

This paper presents a novel Hausdorff distance loss function for image segmentation, particularly in the field of medical imaging. The proposed Hausdorff distance loss function, based on the Felzenszwalb distance transform algorithm, addresses the computational complexity associated with previous Hausdorff distance loss function implementations, bringing it closer to the efficiency of the Dice loss function. The new method significantly reduces the computational time, making it only 11.2% slower than the Dice loss function, compared to the 125.9% slower rate of previous implementations. Furthermore, the proposed Hausdorff distance loss function improves the Dice similarity coefficient from 0.918 to 0.925 and reduces the Hausdorff distance from 4.583 to 3.464, demonstrating enhanced segmentation accuracy. The study's findings suggest that the proposed Hausdorff distance loss function can be a valuable tool for medical image segmentation, providing a balance between computational efficiency and segmentation precision. The code for the new Hausdorff distance loss function is publicly available for use.
Vrienden als je autisme hebt; lust of last?
Authors: Rieffe Carolien , Blijd-Hoogewys Els , Hoogerwerf Jill , Vermeiren Robert
Published: July 2023

Friends are a necessity. With your friend, you can visit places, discuss your inner feelings, and they provide feelings of safety and belonging. Yet, does this apply to everyone? Friendships can also have downsides, characterized by pressure to join in, jealousy or dominance. In this article we discuss that autistic young people also need friendships and want to belong, but due to different expectations back and forth, this can be more difficult than for non-autistic young people. Outcomes of our study are also discussed, showing that for young people with and without autism, positive friendships are associated with fewer symptoms of depression, but also with more symptoms of anxiety in autistic girls. The pressure to camouflage their autism may play a role here. Autism as a form of diversity, as is also profiled during the World Autism Acceptance Week in April, can also have added value and give more depth to a friendship.

Introduction. The frequency of occurrence of stridor or noisy breathing associated with obstruction of the upper respiratory tract in newborns and infants is increasing nowadays. The most common cause of stridor is a congenital pathology of laryngeal development – laryngomalacia. The severity of the clinical course of laryngomalacia and its prognosis depends on the anatomical variant of congenital pathology and the presence of congenital and acquired concomitant acquired comorbidities. Aim. Demonstration of a clinical case of congenital stridor associated with intrauterine infection in an infant. Results. An observation of a child with a severed clinical picture of stridor breathing from the age of 8 days, born from a mother with complicated obstetric anamnesis who had an infectious disease in early pregnancy; pathological childbirth (emergency c-section). The laryngomalacia type II with symptoms of laryngeal stenosis was detected in a child. The severity of the disease was due not only to the anatomical variant of the laryngeal malformation, but also to the presence of a combined congenital (heart disease, chest deformation) and acquired (perinatal encephalopathy) pathology. The presence of combined pathology in the child, apparently, is due to a single etiopathogenetic mechanism of intrauterine viral-bacterial infection, confirmed by the results of morphological examination of the placenta. The increase in respiratory failure required surgical intervention. Laser endoscopic supraglottoplasty completely stopped stridor breathing. Conclusion. This observation illustrates the outcome of intrauterine infection as the development of a combined congenital and acquired pathology in a child; indicates the need for timely diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in women with complicated obstetric anamnesis. Early diagnosis, clarification of the cause of stridor in a child due to laryngeal malformations (laryngomalacia type II), successful surgical treatment allowed to fully restore the patency of the upper respiratory tract.

Osteoporosis limits the social activity of the patient and his family members, leads to high material costs and a high level of disability and mortality. Aim. To study the data of foreign and Russian studies on the prevalence of osteopenia, pathogenic mechanisms of development and the clinical meaning of osteoporosis in COPD. Materials and methods. The review includes literature data published mainly over the past five years in PubMed and eLibrary. Earlier publications were included in the review if necessary. Results. According to different authors, osteopenia occurs in 60-86.7% of patients with COPD. The degree of loss of mineral density of bones is proportional to the severity of COPD. Compression fractures of the spine and fractures and femoral neck are found in patients with COPD more often than in patients without COPD. Cytokines have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of the formation of osteoporosis in COPD. At the same time, studies are limited only by the significance of early response cytokines (interleukins 1 and 6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha). There are only single studies on the role of adipokines in bone remodeling with COPD. Conclusion. Further studies must be carried out for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of regulating bone metabolism by cytokines and other immune factors in COPD.

Introduction. During the pandemic COVID-19, patients suffering from arterial hypertension were noticed to have more severe course of the coronavirus infection. Due to this reason there has been an increased interest to arterial hypertension as a predictor of unfavorable course of the disease. Aim. To conduct a literature review on the impact of cardiovascular diseases (including arterial hypertension) on the course and outcome of the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19. Materials and methods. The PubMed and eLibrary database was searched for information over the past five years on selected inclusion criteria. Information requests included the following keywords: COVID-19, cardiovascular diseases, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocker, arterial hypertension, arterial stiffness. Results. A retrospective analysis of the database of patients hospitalized with confirmed coronavirus infection (5700 people) in a New York City hospital correlates with the results of the conducted registry in the Russian Federation (ACTIV SARS-CoV-2), which included 5808 people. These studies confirm a more severe course of coronavirus infection in patients with an aggravated comorbid background (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, obesity), and therefore, the level of need for intensive care in this category of patients increases. The article examines the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of COVID-19 associated with the angiotensin converting enzyme type II. We present the study results on the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blocker in patients with cardiovascular diseases and COVID-19. The latest literature data showing the correlation of cardiac biomarkers with the severity of coronavirus infection and the presence of concomitant hypertension were analyzed. The results of studies of arterial stiffness in patients with COVID-19 with and without arterial hypertension are presented. Conclusion. The retrospective analysis of multicenter studies, conducted in various countries of the world, allows us to identify risk factors for the severity of COVID-19 with the development of complications and an increase in mortality. Timely assessment of predictors in patients with confirmed coronavirus infection will reduce the mortality rate.

Introduction. The study of disorders that develop in the immune system under the influence of technogenic factors remains a very urgent problem. Aim. To identify criteria for the impact of trigger dust fractions of the atmospheric air in Vladivostok (in the ranges: 0-1, 1-10, 10-50, 50-100, 100-400, 400-700, >700 microns) on the human immune system with respiratory diseases. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were the fractional composition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the air of Vladivostok and the immune system of residents with bronchopulmonary pathology. The study included 320 people: patients with asthma − 112, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of a stable course − 107, healthy people − 101. Using the multiple correlation, the indicators characterizing the integral response of the immune system parameters to the impact of SPM were determined. Results. The results obtained for the groups of subjects showed a difference in the number of factors of influence and immune responses to their influence. Dust fractions of the air form the greatest pathogenic effect in individuals with COPD. There is a negative reaction to all the studied dust fractions, however, the reaction of the immune system is maximum in the range from 0 to 100 microns (Nr =13, Dp %=0.13-0.19%). For the individuals with asthma, the maximum pathogenic effect is exerted by nanofractions of 0-1 μm (Nr =4, Dp =0.2%). Conclusion. Dust fractions negatively affect the immune system of all studied cohorts of the population of Vladivostok. However, in the individuals with respiratory diseases, dust air pollution causes a more pronounced response of the immune system.

Introduction. Altered hemodynamics in the liver is associated with an obligate manifestation of hypoxic stress that affects the functional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is important to consider in patients with comorbid pathology. Aim. The study of the characteristics of hepatic blood flow in patients with COPD with vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. Materials and methods. 58 patients with COPD were examined, mean age was 50.1±3.5 years, smoking history was 21.6±2.1 pack/years. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included 30 COPD patients without anemia, group 2 included 28 patients with concomitant vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. Results. It was found that in the 2nd group of patients there was a decrease by 13.8% in the ratio of the linear velocity of the portal flow and the diameter of the portal vein (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.01), which is associated with “stagnant” phenomena of blood flow in the liver. At the same time, the functional parameters of blood flow in the hepatic pool of the bloodstream in patients of group 1 practically did not differ from those of healthy individuals (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.1). Conclusion. The presence of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia in patients with COPD initiates adverse changes in liver blood flow, which should be taken into account when stratifying the risk of this category of patients.

Introduction. The study of risk factors, defects of cellular and phagocytic links of the immune system with differing degrees of asthma control allows us to determine the features of chronic inflammation and predict the course of the disease. Aim. To assess risk factors and establish the severity of immunological disorders according to the state of the cellular and phagocytic links of the immune system in partially controlled mild asthma. Materials and methods. The study included 184 patients (aged 25 to 50 years) with diagnosed mild asthma, 125 of them with partially controlled course (main group), 59 patients with controlled asthma (comparison group). Risk factors were identified in all patients. CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD16+CD56+, CD3+CD19+ were determined by flow cytofluorimetry. The phagocytic link was evaluated based on the phagocytic activity of neutrophils, phagocytic reserve, phagocytic number, phagocytic number reserve, metabolic activity of neutrophils, neutrophil activation index and its reserve. The control group consisted of 17 healthy volunteers who did not have chronic respiratory diseases. Results. In patients with partially controlled asthma, allergic pathology of extrapulmonary localization was 3.8 times more common, foci of chronic infection were 2 times more common, and chronic herpes virus infection was 2.2 times more common. In case of partially controlled asthma, there was an increase in CD3+4+ lymphocytes by 16% (p<0.001), CD3+4+/CD3+8+ index by 1.2 times (p<0.05), a decrease in CD16+56+ by 19.6%, and CD3+8+ cells by 19.5% (p<0.001) as compared to patients with controlled asthma. Disturbance of the functional and potential capabilities of phagocytic cells was characterized by a decrease in the phagocytic number by 26.5%, the HCT test by 1.4 times (p<0.001). Conclusion. Factors hindering the achievement of control in partially controlled mild asthma may be concomitant allergic diseases, chronic herpes virus infection, a characteristic imbalance of cellular and phagocytic immunity.
