Authors: Zhang Shaoan , Hightower Andromeda , Shi Qingmin
Published: January 2022

Using the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018, this study examines U.S. and Japanese new teachers’ initial teacher preparation (ITP), feelings of preparedness, motivations, and self-efficacy. The analysis of 355 U.S. and 433 Japanese new secondary teachers provided several findings. First, ITP in the U.S. more often included teaching in mixed-ability and multicultural settings, cross-curricular skills, and technology than Japan, and U.S. teachers felt more prepared than Japanese teachers in every category of preparation. Second, Japanese teachers were more likely to declare teaching as their first career choice and reportedly scored significantly higher on motivations to become a teacher of personal utility value, while U.S. new teachers scored higher on social utility value. Third, there were no significant differences in self-efficacy between U.S. and Japanese new teachers. This study contributes to the gap of large-scale, comparative literature between the U.S. and Japanese initial teacher preparation. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed.

INTRODUCTION: The results obtained from the analysis of age dynamics are insufficient for development a program of reducing morbidity and, ultimately, mortality, since a need of medical care already indicates a problem; so prevention and screening programs should surpass the emergence of these problems. AIM: To analyze the age dynamics of the need for outpatient medical care for conditions that determine the basic value of the need in women with diseases of the circulatory system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used data on 780,000 visits during one year to medical organizations that provide medical care on an outpatient basis. We studied the probability of an episode and the dynamics of the frequency of episodes depending on age in six five-year age groups: 31 to 35 years, 36 to 40 years, 41 to 45 years, 46 to 50 years, 51 to 55 years, and 56 to 60 years. The dynamics of the frequency of episodes was modeled by a mathematical function with the largest value of the approximation coefficient. The dynamics of the frequency of episodes was modeled by a mathematical function with the largest value of the approximation coefficient. RESULTS: The dynamics of the need for outpatient medical care for hypertensive diseases [Diseases characterized by high blood pressure] (I10 – I15), ischemic heart diseases (I20 – I25) and vascular diseases of the brain (I60 – I69) is characterized by an increasing trend in demand indicators throughout the studied age period. The greatest increase in indicators is observed in the age groups of 31–40 years for ischemic heart diseases and vascular diseases of the brain and 41–50 years for hypertensive conditions. The greatest increase in demand is observed for coronary heart diseases (I20 – I25). The total amount of resources required increases more than 350 times over the 30-year age period, despite the stable value of the average duration of treatment. The increase in the total amount of resources required for vascular diseases of the brain is 30 times. The lowest growth gradient is registered in relation to hypertensive conditions (10-fold growth). As a critical age period, it is most appropriate to consider the age of a woman under 35 years. CONCLUSION: Mathematical modeling is optimally performed using power functions for hypertensive conditions and vascular diseases of the brain and exponential functions for ischemic heart diseases. All the proposed models are characterized by high approximation coefficients.

INTRODUCTION: Despite the achievements of modern medicine, healthcare system is lacking in knowledge about the new coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. AIM: To establish the relationship of the new coronavirus infection with the blood group according to the AB0 blood system in the Samara region and assess the secretory status of the oral fluid in patients with COVID-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted from June 2019 to December 2020, and included 89 healthy individuals (38% males, 62% females, average age 24 ± 2.5 years) and 92 patients with COVID-19 (24% males and 76% females, average age 55.68 ± 1.83 years). The material for the study was oral fluid and venous blood. Determination of the blood group according to the AB0 system was carried out by a cross method, the secretory status of saliva according to the I. Vidas method. Descriptive methods were used for statistical data processing (arithmetic mean, error of the mean), calculation of the percentage of a whole number using computer programs IBM SPSS Statistics 23 and Microsoft Office Excel 2010. RESULTS: The distribution by blood group in patients with COVID-19 was as follows: A (II) blood group was found in 43.5%, O (I) in 36.9%, B (III) in 17.4%, AB (IV) in 2.2%. Rh-positive status was determined for 92.4%. Among secretory representatives, antigen A was secreted in 92.1%, and antigen B was secreted in 7.9% of cases. Antigens A and B were absent in the oral fluid of patients with AB (IV) blood group. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed the prevalence of A(II) blood group carriers among patients with COVID-19. In this case, the secretion of antigen A into the oral fluid is 92.1%. Group A antigen, being a glycoprotein, can act as a factor facilitating the mechanism of penetration of the SARS-CoV-2 into the human body. The results of the study indicate the need for a personalized approach at the stage of diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment of new coronavirus infection, as well as taking into consideration the blood group to develop preventive measures for COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: In modern research standards, a semi-quantitative evaluation scale with crosses is used to characterize turbid cerebrospinal fluid samples, where the absence of turbidity is evaluated as a clear cerebrospinal fluid (a variant of norm), and turbidity is evaluated, depending on the severity, by a different number of crosses. This approach is highly subjective. AIM: Development of a simple objective method for assessment of turbidity of the cerebrospinal fluid. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The optimal wavelength was determined by examination of the optical density of turbid samples of barium sulfate at various wavelengths on Stat Fax photometer (Awarenes, USA). Turbidity was standardized using Shank–Hoagland scale. The reference range was evaluated based on the results of 10 measurements of 10 samples of visually unchanged cerebrospinal fluid. At the same time, the stability and reproducibility of the measured parameters were evaluated. RESULTS: The optimal wavelength diabase is the range emitted by red light filter (λ = 670 nm). Stability of cerebrospinal fluid parameters is preserved for 2 hours after its obtaining. The reference range for normal cerebrospinal fluid samples does not exceed 0.1 units of turbidity on Shank–Hoagland scale. CONCLUSION: The presented methods demonstrate the importance and possibilities of objectivization of characterization of the properties of cerebrospinal fluid with use of the proposed method.

Published: January 2022

This review reveals the current challenges to nursing education in improving health literacy given the high availability of information and rapidly developing e-health technologies. Health literacy is recognized by the global community as a strategic element of public health, especially with the heavy burden of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by new factual data appearing in the available Internet environment, frequently changing recommendations and guidelines, including misinformation. The main source of information for the public is becoming the media. E-health literacy for dealing with too much and inaccurate information about current COVID-19 infodemics requires a unique set of skills. These include the ability to find, evaluate, integrate, and apply health information from the online environment to prioritize their own problems. The new health literacy challenge is e-health media literacy. This is the understanding of information, the ability to distinguish between explicit and implicit meaning of messages, and to benefit from media messages. The most reliable sources of relevant information for patients are, in most cases, the websites of medical organizations. Preparing and posting informational and educational materials for the public on health care providers' Web sites is inextricably linked to the development of media literacy by the nurses themselves. Therefore, one of the priority areas in the training of nurses is the formation of media literacy to improve electronic health literacy of the population.
STUDY OF EMOTIONAL STATE AND MEANING SPHERE IN WOMEN WHO CONSCIOUSLY REFUSED MEDICAL SUPPORT DURING PREGNANCY
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Medical University, Zolotova I.A.
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the relevance of studying the phenomenon of motherhood in modern society in various aspects. It is assumed that the features of the level of psycho-emotional tension can be considered as an indicator of the actual functional state in women during pregnancy. The presence of two competing dominant foci in the perinatal period, represented as: motherhood and career, motherhood and independence, motherhood and life support of the family, motherhood and selfdevelopment, lead to the development of intrapersonal conflict. Resolution of intrapersonal conflict leads to an increase in psycho-emotional tension. Quantitative determination of the vegetative coefficient and the total deviation from the autogenic norm allows you to identify the level of psycho-emotional tension. Significant differences in the severity of the vegetative coefficient and the total deviation from the autogenic norm in women who consciously refused medical support during the period of pregnancy are described.
THE LEFT-HAND DENTAL STUDENTS

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difficulties faced by LH students of dental faculty and the effect of their training program on the musculo-skeletal system. A survey of 11 questions was used to get the necessary data for further analysis. The results of the study showed that the percentage of LH students in the faculty is 7.32 percent (40 of 546). The prevalence of left-handedness of males (9.59%) is higher than that of females (6.03%). The majority of LH students (85%) confirmed that their sinistrality is of no significance in their life organization. LH students neglect that their sinistrality has a significant effect on their dental practice, this is due to their limited experience in practice. The majority of the LH students (85%) prefer using special dental units designed to fit their needs. 35% of the students approved that they started experiencing symptoms of MSDs during their practical phase of studies. The results of this study suggest that LH dental students require special educational atmosphere which would yield in a more professional undergraduates with high efficiency in the work field.
Pragmatics and Semiotics
Authors: Brandt Per Aage
Published: January 2022

Meaning is determined by both immanent and transcendent semiotic structuring : it is both conceptual and contextual. The recursion of semiosis makes it possible to understand and theorize this open but non-chaotic relation between minimal, medial, and maximal sign structures and the experiential lifeworld that infuses social systems with meaning and lets cultural, semiosic, and mental content develop as a continuity. Semiotics and pragmatics are interconnected, and their bonds are indissoluble ; if cut off, pragmatics would become a part of psychology and semiotics a specialty of linguistics. The cognitive theory of mental spaces and conceptual blending needed a semiotic and, as suggested in the article, a semio-pragmatic grounding in order to grow out of its initial format as a philosophical daydream. The model explained here shows how situational and experiential contributions intervene in the sense-making.
La duplicité du nudge : une variante manipulatoire de la programmation
Authors: Petitimbert Jean-Paul
Published: January 2022

Depuis quelques années, sous couvert d’assurer efficacement le bien de la collectivité et de chacun de ses membres, la pratique du nudging s’est répandue de manière exponentielle dans les politiques de gouvernance de nombreuses organisations tant publiques que privées. Le nudging consiste à infléchir les choix et les comportements des nudgés dans le sens voulus par les nudgeurs, sans que les premiers puissent opposer une réelle résistance. En dépit de l’idéologie qu’il affiche, qualifiée par ses promoteurs de « paternalisme libertarien », et de sa prétention à laisser aux nudgés la liberté de leurs choix, les dispositifs factitifs qu’il met au point s’avèrent, à l’analyse, obéir à des principes exactement contraires. L’approche socio-sémiotique et interactionnelle proposée ici en démonte les principaux mécanismes, et ce faisant, s’efforce d’en démontrer la vraie nature : Parce que tout nudge exploite la régularité et la prévisibilité des automatismes et des engrammes (les « biais cognitifs ») recensés et scientifiquement démontrés par les économistes du comportement, il se révèle être une opération de nature totalement programmatique, en ce qu’elle fait fi de la compétence modale (volitive et cognitive) des sujets ciblés et les réduit à des non-sujets, voire à de simples objets. Et parce qu’il fait appel à la dissimulation, au simulacre et au leurre, il s’apparente très fortement aux stratagèmes, aux ruses et aux dispositifs du type « pièges ». In fine, le régime de sens dont il relève est celui de l’insiginifiance, et son régime d’interaction celui d’une variante manipulatoire de la programmation.
Il gioco del rovescio : attori e attanti della pandemia
Authors: Cervelli Pierluigi
Published: January 2022

Considerando il virus come una sorta di “trickster”, l’articolo analizza le risposte statali alla pandemia sulla base delle relazioni fra attori e attanti coinvolti, mediante il modello semiotico delle interazioni proposto da E. Landowski. Per ogni modalità di interazione cui sono riconducibili queste risposte é possibile individuare un complesso di relazioni specifiche fra attori. Nel regime programmatorio, un destinante sociale sovraindividuale stabilisce tutte le interazioni. I programmi individuali non sono permessi se non conformi al programma collettivo. Invece il regime manipolatorio articola rapporti in cui non c’è un programma unico da seguire ma coloro che possono stabilire fra loro programmi interdipendenti sono invitati alla rinuncia a comportamenti che danneggiarebbero il programma collettivo. Nel regime del caso, modalità attuata principalmente dai governi populisti, non c’è un programma collettivo. I programmi possono accordarsi incidentalmente sulla scala dei singoli individui, ma non a livello globale. Nell’aggiustamento infine, il valore a cui si mira è co-costruito : si inventa un soggetto plurale. Ma se questo è possibile alla scala dei singoli individui, sembra difficile da realizzare, e soprattuto impossibile da programmare, a quella collettiva.

Phonological Constraints on the Utterance of L2 Clusters by Saudi ESL Learners
Authors: N. Alotaibi Abdullah
Published: January 2022

The field of L2 phonology did not receive much research compared to the other linguistic domains. To add to the field and expand the current literature, the present paper’s goal was to examine the impact of syllable structure differences between Arabic and English in uttering L2 English consonant clusters. The following research question was aimed to be answered: Do the differences between two languages’ syllable structure cause production difficulties in the consonant cluster to Saudi Arabian learners of English? The subjects of this investigation were L2 English learners from Saudi with intermediate proficiency levels in English. Applying the descriptive correlational type of research model, the results showed that learners’ production is mainly influenced by their native language-specific phonological features. The learners’ production of targeted L2 consonant clusters seemed to mirror their underlying phonological system, and syllables structures were modified to match their native Arabic phonological system as a result of language transfer. These findings should be taken into account by L2 speech educators as such speech difficulty is anticipated.

Teachers from pre-primary and school levels (ISCED 02-3) (International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) - Statistics Explained (europa.eu) participated in this research. Participants, 120 teachers, had to filled in an online form of the adapted version of the 'Self-Regulated Learning Opportunities Questionnaire', developed by Vrieling, Bastiaens, and Stijnen (2012), and to answer three open-ended questions. The questionnaire assessed the extent to which teachers use the following two strategies to promote metacognition and self-regulated learning in their classroom: planning (including goal-setting, metacognitive knowledge activation, task value activation, and time management) and monitoring of the learning process (including metacognitive awareness and monitoring of cognition). The open-ended questions aimed to reveal the participants' opinions about the best teaching practices that facilitate the development of metacognition and selfregulated skills of students, the factors that hinder the development of these skills and how teachers can promote self-regulated learning in their classrooms. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software for the quantitative data, and the thematic-analysis for the qualitative ones. Results show that teachers create some opportunities for students to develop their self-regulated learning skills, but face various problems in trying to develop these skills in the classroom context. The results of this study are discussed in relation to both classroom and school contexts, and the broader level of educational policies.
