Perceptions of Teacher Retention Problems and Practices in Minnesota
Authors: Christensen Dr.Amy , Barron-Albers Dr. Michele
Published: December 2024

Numerous studies have identified a research to practice gap regarding teacher retention (Hagaman and Casey, 2018; Carver, 2003; CCSESA, 2016). In Minnesota, teacher retention is a concern as 51% of professional licensed teachers were not working as a public or charter school teacher during the 2019-2020 school year. (PELSB, 2021). The objective of this study was to identify and address common themes that exist across multiple groups of educational professionals (pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and administrators) regarding retention rates of beginning teachers in Minnesota in order to expand understanding of why half of the state’s fully licensed teachers have left the classroom and/or the field. Insights gained from this study will inform preparation program content, alleviate the research to practice gap, and provide recommendations to help improve teacher retention rates.
Telling Stories of Trauma: The Impacts of Interpreting Museum Collections and Exhibitions
Authors: Wilson Mark , Cusack-McVeigh Holly
Published: December 2024

Exposure to traumatic material may result in stress for museum workers who are involved with the collection and care of items in a museum or relating difficult narratives to visitors of the museum. The goal of this study is to quantify the psychosocial factors in a museum setting and the effects of exposure to potentially traumatic material. Only a small percentage of the participants reported not encountering a situation while performing their job that they consider to be emotionally disturbing or traumatic in nature. Recalling accounts of individuals who have been victims of crime, discrimination, etc. is the situation most frequently reported to be disturbing in nature. Nearly two thirds of participants stated that they have taken action to address the effects of stress they are experiencing on the job. Very few participants seek help from an employee assistance program. Talking with a therapist/psychologist or a friend are the most common methods of dealing with stress experienced at work. An understanding of the stress and psychological trauma experienced by museum workers will help aid in the development of intervention strategies to improve the working conditions of museum workers.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the associations between the scientific output of Brazilian intensive care units and their organizational characteristics. Methods: This study is a re-analysis of a previous retrospective cohort that evaluated organizational intensive care unit characteristics and their associations with outcomes. We analyzed data from 93 intensive care units across Brazil. Intensive care units were assessed for scientific productivity and the effects of their research activities, using indicators of care for comparison. We defined the most scientifically productive intensive care units as those with numerous publications and a SCImago Journal Rank score or an H-index above the median values of the participating intensive care units. Results: Intensive care units with more publications, higher SCImago Journal Rank scores and higher H-index scores had a greater number of certified intensivists (median of 7; IQR 5 - 10 versus 4; IQR 2 - 8; with p < 0.01 for the comparison between intensive care units with more versus fewer publications). Intensive care units with higher SCImago Journal Rank scores and H-index scores also had a greater number of fully implemented protocols (median of 8; IQR 6 - 8 versus 5; IQR 3.75 - 7.25; p < 0.01 for the comparison between intensive care units with higher versus lower SCImago Journal Rank scores). Conclusions: Scientific engagement was associated with better staffing patterns and greater protocol implementation, suggesting that research activity may be an indicator of better intensive care unit organization and care delivery.

Published: December 2024

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se as variações na pressão venosa central durante a expansão volêmica e a variação respiratória cíclica basal na curva de amplitude da pressão venosa central poderiam ser usadas para discriminar entre pacientes responsivos e não responsivos a fluidos. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional prospectivo que incluiu pacientes adultos em estado crítico que foram submetidos à expansão volêmica na forma de infusão volêmica ou desafio volêmico de cristaloides. Todos os pacientes estavam em ventilação mecânica e devidamente sedados. Determinamos a pressão venosa central basal (PVCT0) e as variações em 5 (ΔPVCT5), 10 (ΔPVCT10) e 15 (ΔPVCT15) minutos durante a infusão volêmica. Também medimos a curva de amplitude da PVCT0. Definiu-se a responsividade a fluidos como um aumento do índice cardíaco de ≥ 15%. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 30 pacientes (11 responsivos e 19 não responsivos). A PVCT0 e as variações após um desafio volêmico em todos os três momentos não previram adequadamente a capacidade de resposta a fluidos, conforme determinado por seus valores de área sob a curva (PVCT0: 0,70, IC95% 0,49 - 0,90; ΔPVCT5: 0,78, IC95% 0,57 - 0,99; ΔPVCT10: 0,63, IC95% 0,39 - 0,88; ΔPVCT15: 0,68; IC95% 0,45 - 0,92). A curva de amplitude da PVCT0 também teve um desempenho insatisfatório (área sob a curva: 0,70; IC95% 0,50 - 0,91). Conclusão: As variações na pressão venosa central têm valor limitado na previsão da responsividade a fluidos.

Published: December 2024

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se a resposta do índice de perfusão ao estresse semiortostático pode ser usada para monitorar a resposta simpático-vascular em pacientes com sepse. Métodos: Três grupos foram estudados: Grupo A (30 pacientes saudáveis), Grupo B (30 pacientes em estado crítico sem sepse) e Grupo C (92 pacientes com sepse). Os pacientes foram submetidos a um teste de estresse semiortostático (elevação da cabeça de zero a 60°) e avaliaram-se a hemodinâmica, os valores do índice de perfusão e os dados de ultrassom cardíaco. Os valores do SOFA também foram avaliados em pacientes com sepse, comparando aqueles com índices de perfusão maiores e menores após o teste. Resultados: Após o teste, o Grupo A apresentou diminuição significativa no volume sistólico (p < 0,01) e no índice cardíaco (p < 0,05), com aumento da frequência cardíaca (p < 0,05) e da pressão arterial média (p < 0,001). Essas respostas não foram observadas nos Grupos B e C. Na análise individual do Grupo A, houve diminuição do índice de perfusão (p < 0,001), enquanto nos Grupos B e C a resposta foi heterogênea. Além disso, os pacientes com sepse com índice de perfusão menor após o teste tiveram uma queda significativa no escore SOFA em 72 horas em comparação com o grupo com índice de perfusão maior (p < 0,05). Entretanto, o escore delta-SOFA não diferiu nos grupos. Conclusão: A resposta do índice de perfusão ao estresse semiortostático em pacientes com sepse é um método simples e econômico na detecção da resposta simpático-microvascular à beira do leito e parece ter valor prognóstico.

This paper aims to critically discuss the growing responsibilities of nursing professionals relative to radiography and X-ray imaging techniques. Traditionally, nursing staff were more or less passive participants in radiological procedures, if they participated at all—they often simply prepared the patient and occasionally assisted the radiographer if needed. Nurses have become less involved in radiologic settings, but as the functional capacities of nurses continue to be extended, their participation in radiologic settings is increasing. This review aims to evaluate the effect of the implemented nursing mediations in terms of the technical efficiency in the X-ray imaging process, safety, and patient satisfaction. Also, the paper examines the training and education required for nurses to assume these roles successfully, as well as the advantages and limitations of enhancing the involvement of nurses in diagnostic imaging. Applying the results of the literature review and case studies, the review underlines the lack of interdisciplinary cooperation. It states several recommendations for improving patient care in a radiological setting.

Tooth decay, a significant global public health issue, affects billions of individuals and imposes substantial health and economic burdens. Fluoride has been widely recognized for its caries-preventive properties, functioning through mechanisms that enhance enamel remineralization and inhibit bacterial activity. Despite extensive research supporting its efficacy, variations in fluoride delivery methods, concentrations, and population-specific outcomes have resulted in inconsistent findings, necessitating a comprehensive review. This study systematically evaluates recent evidence to determine fluoride’s effectiveness in reducing tooth decay across various applications, including water fluoridation, toothpaste, mouth rinses, and professional treatments. By synthesizing data from peer-reviewed studies, the review aims to clarify optimal fluoride use practices and address safety concerns, such as dental fluorosis. Findings are expected to provide actionable insights for clinicians, policymakers, and public health professionals, contributing to the development of evidence-based guidelines to improve global oral health and reduce the burden of dental caries.
Islamic Legal Analysis on the Protection of Vulnerable Age Groups from Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) in Indonesia
Authors: Khotimah Umi Khusnul
Published: December 2024

Gender-Based Online Violence (GBOV) poses a significant challenge in safeguarding vulnerable groups, particularly in Indonesia, where digital literacy remains low among women and children. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon using the framework of Maqashid Syariah, emphasizing the protection of life (hifz an-nafs), dignity (hifz al-'ird), and progeny (hifz an-nasl). Employing a qualitative method, data were collected through literature reviews, case studies, and expert interviews to examine the intersection of Islamic principles and national legal frameworks, such as the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (ITE Law) and the Law on Sexual Violence Prevention (TPKS Law). The findings highlight that while Islamic principles provide a robust moral and legal foundation to combat GBOV, the implementation of national regulations remains inadequate due to gaps in specificity and enforcement. Additionally, the lack of digital literacy among vulnerable populations exacerbates the risks. This study underscores the importance of integrating Maqashid Syariah into policymaking, enhancing digital literacy through Islamic ethics, and fostering collaboration between government, religious leaders, and communities. These measures aim to create a safer, more inclusive digital environment while addressing GBOV comprehensively. The research offers a novel perspective by aligning Islamic jurisprudence with modern policy needs, contributing to the discourse on ethics and law in the digital age.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the switching behavior to peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms to determine the factors that encourage SMEs to use Sharia P2P lending platforms to obtain loans. This study focuses on the factors that contribute to the intention to switch SME funding from conventional banking to Sharia P2P lending in Indonesia. Using questionnaires and purposive sampling, we collected data from a total of 367 SMEs in Indonesia that use Sharia P2P lending and then applied PLS-SEM for data analysis. The results showed that the pull effect significantly influenced the intention of SME owners to switch to Sharia P2P lending and was negatively moderated by switching costs. In contrast, the push effect did not significantly influence the intention to switch to Sharia P2P lending. In addition, switching costs directly influenced the intention of SME owners to switch from conventional banking funding to Sharia P2P lending.

Authors: Muhammad Yusun  , Herri Fariadi  , Evi Andriani
Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the comparison of lowland rice harvest costs between traditional methods and the use of combine harvester technology in Padang Siring Village, Seginim District, South Bengkulu Regency. A total of 56 farmers were research respondents, consisting of 28 farmers using combine harvesters and 28 farmers using traditional methods. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews, while secondary data came from related agency documents. The research results show that the average cost of harvesting using traditional methods reaches IDR 2,560,000, while the cost of harvesting using a Combine Harvester is IDR 1,865,000, with a cost difference of IDR 695,000. Combine Harvester provides higher cost efficiency because it only requires IDR 500/kg for production wages and harvest time is shorter, namely one day for one hectare. In contrast, traditional methods require more labor and time, so they are more expensive. Reasons why farmers choose traditional methods include muddy land conditions, narrow rice fields, and inconsistent harvests. This research concludes that the use of a Combine Harvester is more efficient in terms of cost and time, but its implementation is still hampered by land conditions. It is hoped that this study can become a reference in encouraging the adoption of appropriate technology in the agricultural sector to support sustainable food self-sufficiency.

The second area of focus addresses the interrelationship between agriculture, ecosystems, food security, and the quality and availability of water resources. Moreover, the third area is related to hydrogeology and management of underground water resources. The identified gaps in the nexus include the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the nexus as a system, the absence of policy development to analyze synergies among all factors, the need for multi-sector integration, the dearth of socioeconomic impacts, the scarcity of local and specific data availability, and limited mention of the role of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things in integrated water resource management. The identified trends highlight the convergence of climate change, agriculture, and water resource management, emphasizing food security and ecosystem protection. Technologies are becoming more energy-intensive, increasing the interdependence between water and energy. Mathematical models and machine learning are employed to predict the quality and quantity of groundwater.

Domestic wastewater is one of the significant sources causing phosphorus and nitrogen pollution in natural water. Though steel slags have been applied for the adsorption of phosphate, ammonia, and both in various synthetic and real wastewaters, no report has been found for the application of response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate the main and interaction effects, and optimization of various factors on phosphate and ammonia adsorption by steel slag. The current study aims to evaluate the removal of phosphate and ammonia from domestic wastewater using adsorbents of modified steel slags. Steel slags from two companies were modified, characterized, and preliminarily applied for synthetic wastewater treatment to select the suitable type of steel slag. Optimization experiments were then designed using RSM to find the significant factors, their interactions affecting the treatment processes, and optimum conditions. The results of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analyses showed that thermal treatment affected the mass percentages of elements and increased the surface areas of the materials. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies demonstrated that the phosphate adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics, and the Langmuir model was appropriate to the present experimental results. The results from RSM suggested that output phosphate concentration was significantly affected by the modified temperature, steel slag dosage, contact time, and the modified temperature-dosage interaction, while the modified temperature and steel slag dosage were significant factors for output ammonia concentration. Validation of the domestic wastewater treatment at the optimum conditions including the modified steel slags at 776°C, contacting time of 15.7 h, and dosage of 0.87 g/L confirmed the high removal efficiency for phosphate (81.7%), while ammonia and COD were eliminated at the efficiencies of 31.6% and 32.7%, respectively. This study hence proposed the application of the modified steel slag as a promising and cheap adsorbent for nutrient removal in domestic wastewater.
Forward selection models for classifying mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease based on single nucleotide polymorphisms

Published: December 2024

Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial for patients to begin treatment early to slow the disease’s progression. While mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered an early translational stage of AD, clinically diagnosing MCI is difficult due to its inconsistent symptoms and the lack of standardized diagnostic tests. In this work, we proposed forward selection models to classify patients with AD, patients with MCI and healthy controls (HCs) based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the proposed method, the initial SNP data were prescreened via genome-wide association studies with a suggestive significance threshold. Then, the qualified SNPs were reselected using the forward SNP selection algorithm to create classification models. Consequently, the forward selection models significantly outperformed the preselection models, those based on all prescreened SNPs, with an area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) value of 0.93 in the AD-HC classification, an AUPRC value of 0.94 in the MCI-HC classification, and an AUPRC value of 0.81 in the AD-MCI classification. Moreover, the proposed method could identify AD-associated and MCI-associated SNPs, which would support the clinical diagnosis of AD and MCI in the future.

Authors:   0009-0001-8278-4720, Tolonova Z.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses some issues related to the culture of speech of TV and radio journalists. Speech in a particular communicative situation performs the function of communication, evaluation, impact on the addressee and, as a result, stimulating a person to some action. This function of speech is of particular importance in the speech of journalists. In order for a journalist's speech to be fully understandable and accessible to the addressee, the principles and indicators of speech culture must be observed. The communicative qualities of journalistic speech are determined by such criteria as correctness of speech, purity of speech, richness of speech, relevance of speech, accuracy of speech, validity and expressiveness of speech. In this paper, some of these criteria are considered, in particular, the correctness, purity, expressiveness of the speech of television and radio journalists. It was noted that the culture of speech is the basis of professional achievements of a journalist.
Una poderosa pequeñez. El concepto Democracia en España, 1750-1870
Authors: Capellán de Miguel Gonzalo , García Ruiz Rocío
Published: December 2024

Este artículo pretende mostrar la evolución en el significado y usos del concepto «Democracia» en España, desde la Ilustración hasta la Revolución que dio inicio al denominado Sexenio democrático (1868). La historia de la Democracia durante ese largo período estuvo dominada por una interpretación dominantemente negativa, y asociada a su significado clásico de Gobierno popular. Eso fue así tanto bajo la Monarquía Absoluta, como en los breves periodos liberales (1810-1812, 1820-1823) en los que la Democracia directa fue rechazada, mientras que la fórmula representativa fue calando solo lentamente en algunos sectores minoritarios. En ese camino 1848 marcó un hito, porque a partir de ese momento, una parte del liberalismo progresista abrazó la Democracia, opción que cristalizó en un programa y un partido político definidos. En el seno del nuevo ideario democrático, acabaron por converger además, hacia los años sesenta, otras corrientes del republicanismo y del socialismo que pugnaron por apropiarse del concepto Democracia, al tiempo que provocaron una importante transformación semántica del mismo. Incluso cuando las débiles fuerzas de la «Democracia» triunfan en España, tras la Revolución de 1868, se evidenciarán las distintas maneras, incluso antagonistas, de entenderla.
La escurridiza Democracia mexicana
Authors: Cárdenas Ayala Elisa
Published: December 2024

En la historia mexicana, Democracia es un concepto escurridizo, que durante la primera mitad del siglo xix acompaña las mutaciones del lenguaje y de las instituciones políticas como un fantasma y termina por adquirir corporeidad y señalada presencia, antes de imponerse, en la década de los cincuenta, como un lugar discursivo ineludible de la política de signo liberal. Al mismo tiempo, se trata de un concepto cuya presencia la historiografía ha creído encontrar en momentos cruciales de la construcción nacional en donde apenas se pronuncia. ¿Tendría que leerse la ausencia del vocablo como ausencia del concepto y concluir entonces que estamos ante una construcción teleológica? ¿O podemos admitir que se haya evitado el uso de la palabra para eludir con ello sus connotaciones negativas en un contexto determinado y colegir entonces que el concepto, incluido en una constelación conceptual interactuante, influye en el actuar político concreto? La exploración de la historia del concepto Democracia en México plantea esta disyuntiva.
La imagen del rojo perverso. A propósito del proceso sumarísimo contra Miguel Villalta Gisbert
Authors: Sánchez Recio Glicerio
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se pretende configurar un marco dentro del cual puedan analizarse e interpretarse los sumarios que durante la guerra civil y la inmediata posguerra las autoridades franquistas instruyeron contra los republicanos, principalmente políticos y militares, que aquéllas consideraron enemigos y que, por lo tanto, tenían que aniquilar o castigar. El acudir o tomar como referencia el sumarísimo seguido contra Miguel Villalta Gisbert se debe a las características internas del propio documento, por haber sido instruido de forma completa y sistemática, exigido en buena medida por el propio procesado, que había ejercido antes de la guerra como juez de instrucción. Para el diseño del marco se ha utilizado el concepto de rojo perverso, entendiendo por tal aquél que representaba los rasgos más característicos de los que habían sido señalados por los dirigentes del régimen franquista como «enemigos de la Patria» y que, en consecuencia, deberían ser aniquilados. A los rojos se les atribuía todo tipo de males: asesinatos, robos, persecuciones y denuncias arbitrarias, inmoralidad pública y privada, ataques a la religión y a los lugares de culto, tendencia a la venganza, etc. Ante las acusaciones recibidas los procesados, en este caso Miguel Villalta negaba las acusaciones y matizaba el sentido de sus actuaciones. Declaraciones y pruebas que para nosotros tienen un valor añadido ya que con ellas intentaba limpiar la imagen que había sido emborronada por las acusaciones anteriores.
El anti-iberismo de los republicanos radicales portugueses (1870-1910)
Authors: Carvalho Homem Amadeu , Peralta García Beatriz
Published: December 2024

En este articulo se lleva a cabo una valoración de los diversos proyectos que el federalismo portugués elaboró para frenar el proyecto anexionista que conllevaba la propuesta iberista de mediados del siglo xix. Los republicanos portugueses diseñaron diversos proyectos de federación y confederación que partían del supuesto de la defensa de los derechos individuales y de la armonización de las diversas instancias sociales y territoriales que constituían tanto España como Portugal. Ello representaba el reconocimiento de que ambas naciones estaban constituidas por unidades orgánicas (regiones y estados) desde las que construir un proyecto federativo, base, a su vez, de una federación latina y, en su proyección, europea e internacional. De este modo, el federalismo portugués, asumiendo los planteamientos de la filosofía comtiana, aspiraba a construir un nuevo orden internacional, pacífico, y respetuoso de los derechos de los pueblos. Una propuesta que se presentaba como abiertamente antagónica de aquella iberista que, a los ojos del federalismo portugués, representaba la absorción de Portugal por su vecina España.
Manual de comunicación para gestionar la carga emocional que implica el trabajo de los mediadores
Authors: Metayer Cárdenas Caty Maribel
Published: December 2024

Las profesiones en que se establecen relaciones de ayuda, como la mediación familiar, pueden exponer a los trabajadores a sufrir trastornos emocionales. Esto puede ocurrir por el exceso de empatía con los usuarios, quienes experimentan situaciones conflictivas. El objetivo general es elaborar un manual estratégico de comunicación para gestionar y disminuir la carga emocional que implica el desempeño de la profesión de mediadores familiares, en la ciudad de Temuco, Chile. Los objetivos específicos son: explorar la literatura con respecto de la mediación familiar en Chile; la salud emocional de los mediadores familiares; la comunicación; e implementar y evaluar el impacto del manual.
La bibliografía da cuenta del deterioro a nivel emocional al que se exponen los mediadores y cómo mejorar la comunicación puede ayudarles a gestionar sus emociones.
Con respecto a la metodología, se efectuó una revisión bibliográfica; luego, se reunió información con una entrevista aplicada a 15 mediadores para caracterizar su forma de comunicar y la relación de ésta con su salud emocional. Luego, se creará un manual con una estrategia comunicativa que les ayude a expresar sus emociones, con el cual se espera que mejore su bienestar emocional. Seguidamente, se entregará el manual a los participantes para que lo apliquen por dos semanas. Se les solicitará que lleven un diario de registro escrito, según las instrucciones de dicho manual. Finalmente, se analizarán los ejercicios realizados para evaluar el manual y realizar las mejoras necesarias, para que quede a disposición de otros mediadores para su utilización.
