"SYNTHESIS OF METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS AND THEIR APPLICATION AS PHOTOCATALYSTS "
Authors: A. S. Krasilnikova  , A. Zh. Kassanova
Published: January 2025

This article investigates the synthesis and catalytic applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with a detailed focus on their role in alcohol oxidation to carbonyl compounds, especially in converting isopropanol to acetone. MOFs like [Cu₂(1,4-chdc)₂] offer high surface area, tunable pore structures, and reusability, making them ideal for various catalytic applications. This study explores the properties, synthesis, and catalytic mechanisms of MOFs, addressing challenges in conventional acetone production methods such as the cumene process. It highlights the use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, combined with titanium dioxide to enhance MOFs’ oxidative capacity, demonstrating improved efficiency in UV-catalyzed reactions. Experimental findings indicate that titanium dioxide-modified MOFs achieve optimal performance with high catalytic activity and stability, providing an eco-friendly and economically viable solution for acetone production.
Key words: metal-organic frameworks, alcohol oxidation, catalysis, acetone production, hydrogen peroxide.

Authors: Ocampo Martínez Fanny Araceli , Deceano Estrada Edgar Felipe
Published: January 2025

En las Escuelas de Educación Normal un componente imprescindible en la formación de docentes es la escritura de los alumnos del Área de Acercamiento a la Práctica, la cual tienecomo propósito adquirir herramientas para el ejercicio personal y profesional. Es en las prácticas escolares donde se sustenta un elemento poco reconocido en los procesos de escrituraacadémica, pues, el diseño con que son construidas, implica el ejercicio de la lectura, escritura, ejecución y análisis, mismos que se retoman en este artículo. Así, es necesario comprenderel proceso que lleva a las prácticas docentes, pues se le ha concebido como un elemento con escaso peso para la vida académica de las Normales como Instituciones de Educación Superior, dejando a un lado una actividad que tiende a conformar de manera profunda a la cultura de estas instituciones y a la comprensión de la riqueza de la escritura académica que emerge una o dos veces cada semestre.

Literacidad y bilingüismo: un modelo para la alfabetización inicial bilingüe en la pospandemia
Authors: Cardona Fuentes Pedro David
Published: January 2025

En el presente artículo se presenta una reflexión sistemática en torno a la constitución de los principios pedagógicos que sustentan el modelo literacidad y bilingüismo, cuyo propósito es incentivar el desarrollo de la alfabetización inicial bilingüe (lengua indígena-español) en aulas de primer y segundo grado en escuelas primarias indígenas de México. Asimismo, se da cuenta de una propuesta que retoma fundamentos de la perspectiva constructivista y los vincula con prácticas formativas ligadas a la educación bilingüe de doble inmersión. Como resultado, se establece una serie de principios para la recreación de experiencias de aprendizaje en inmersión lingüística, entre los cuales destacan la enseñanza en inmersión a través de las lenguas del aula y el uso integral del repertorio lingüístico de los estudiantes. El modelo descrito permite su adaptación a escenarios bilingües sin importar el orden de adquisición de las lenguas; además, su implementación representa una oportunidad para la disminución de brechas educativas en la era postpandemia en contextos escolares indígenas.

Authors: Hernández Alvarado Miguel Ángel , Gutiérrez Lovera María de los Ángeles , Rendón Cazales Víctor Jesús , Benavides Lara Mario Alberto
Published: January 2025

La educación remota de emergencia (ERE) fue una forma de aplicar y entender la educación en los hogares durante la pandemia por COVID-19. El retorno a los espacios físicos generó incertidumbre y representó un reto educativo. En este contexto se realizó la investigación “Perspectivas y prospectivas de docentes y estudiantes de la unam durante la pandemia por COVID-19” con el fin de conocer las experiencias de actores educativos en la ere y sus expectativas ante el retorno a la presencialidad. Para la obtención y el análisis de los datos se empleó un acercamiento cualitativo centrado en conocer anticipaciones y vivencias a través de grupos focales cuyos integrantes eran estudiantes de licenciatura. En los resultados se identificaron diversas perspectivas, las cuales quedaron representadas en “imaginarios” (conjuntos de imágenes anticipadas sobre la escuela pospandemia), algunos de éstos abordaron los diseños para la vida escolar. De este tema, unos episodios comunicativos abordaron la idea del modelo híbrido. Sobre este modelo, el estudiantado esperaba que permitiera una organización de contenidos y actividades educativas de forma segura en la pospandemia.

Authors: Radovanović Sanja
Published: January 2025

The development of digital technology by the end of last and the beginning of this century accelerated the flow of information, but mostly due to the global computer network – the Internet. In cultural terms, this trend has contributed to the spread of ideas, education, information and many other facet of life of modern man, since the content through the Internet, have become available globally. Certainly in this, the digital environment, the exchange of information for science has a special significance. Science, in the broadest sense, is a systematic process by which creates and organizes knowledge in the form of theoretical explanation and prediction of certain social or natural phenomena. From the standpoint of copyright, which this paper devotes special attention, scientific results leave the relatively closed world of institutions and individuals who are engaged in science and entering the world of users interconnected via the computer network, but principally interested in the results achieved in various fields of scientific research. Therefore, the uniqueness of contemporary researches is precisely the fact that the scientific results, thanks to the global computer network, are easily available, or could be. Accordingly, communication between researchers, but also with businesses, is aimed at creating conditions for unobstructed access to science and scientific results. Therefore, in juridical circles reopened debate on the need to adapt modern copyright framework of exchange of information via the Internet and the need to preserve the balance of interests of title and society, which further progress requires freedom in use of relevant scientific results. This paper aims to show the direction in which they move attempts to modernize copyright in certain segments and what are the practical implications of proposed solutions.

Published: January 2025

Building Information Modeling or BIM is tool for creating and managing construction related information based on a three-dimensional building model used by all project participants, and as such, is viewed as the revolution in construction industry. However, there are several specific questions and problems imposed using BIM; some of these are of technical, while some of legal nature. Within the legal issues associated with BIM, intellectual property rights seem to generate most discussion. The matter is further complicated by the lack of specific regulation or at least uniform guidelines. As a result, there are still many unresolved questions regarding the practical application of intellectual property rights to BIM and the answers are sought on case to case basis, in individual contractual solutions implemented by project participants.
Water Quality Assessment of Natural Springs: A Case Study of Jakholi Block,
Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand
Authors: Rawat Vikas , Naik Anjali , Negi Mahabir Singh
Published: January 2025

This research aimed to evaluate the water quality of natural springs in five villages—Badhani, Gaithana, Ghegad Khal, Tuneta, and Kanda—located in the Jakholi block of Uttarakhand, India. A water quality testing kit was used to analyze key parameters, including pH, turbidity, total hardness, chloride, iron, residual chlorine, nitrate, and fluoride. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated following the method proposed
by Brown et al. (1970). The results indicated that the water quality in Badhani, Gaithana, and Kanda was excellent, with WQI scores of 17.72, 6.02, and 17.34, respectively, confirming the water's suitability for drinking. In Tuneta and Ghegad Khal, the water quality was categorized as good, with WQI scores of 26.28 and 44.57. However, the assessment of Ghegad Khal revealed concerns related to high total hardness and a low
water discharge rate, highlighting an urgent need for management strategies to address the social and economic impacts on the community. This study underscores the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance of natural springs to ensure safe drinking water for rural populations. It also calls for the implementation of
effective conservation and sustainable management strategies for spring-water resources.
The Impact of Tax Hikes on Debt Burden and Economic Development in Africa: Analysing the Trade-Offs and Implications for Sustainable Growth
Authors: Bonga Wellington G.
Published: January 2025

This explanatory paper explored the complex relationship between tax hikes, public debt burden, and economic development in Africa. It argued that while increasing taxes can generate vital revenue for governments, it can also exacerbate debt levels and hinder economic growth if not managed effectively. Through a comprehensive analysis of the trade-offs involved, including case studies from various African countries, this paper aims to inform policymakers about the delicate balance needed for sustainable economic development. Through the findings, the study suggest that optimal tax policies, combined with effective governance, are crucial for enhancing economic resilience and addressing the challenges of public debt. More specifically the study recommends the strengthening of governance structures, engagement of stakeholders in policy making, assessing economic context before implementing tax hikes, diversifying revenue sources rather than solely relying on tax increases, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of tax policies to ensure sustainable economic growth.
Investigating the Design of Social Networking Sites to Examine the Spread of Political Misinformation Using the Uses and Gratifications Theory
Authors: Cruz Jr Joel Andrew B. , Caguiat Ma. Rowena R. , Ebardo Ryan A.
Published: January 2025

The shift from mass media to personalized content has gained popularity. Activity on social networking sites (SNS) showed that these platforms are designed to encourage social interaction and do not endorse critical thinking. This sentiment aligns with the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), which correlates the motivation to share misinformation on social media to fulfill their needs or gratification, like their desire for social validation or affirmation of their beliefs. Thus, this paper examines the general design of social networking sites and how they transpired during the 2022 Philippine presidential elections. This study proposed hypotheses on how each design element corresponds with the motivational factors influencing the spread of political misinformation. Using Structural Equations Modeling (SEM), the study aims to test these constructs empirically. Results indicated that altruism, socialization, and entertainment, and status-seeking equally correlate as predictors of misinformation because they are embedded with the existing design of SNS. Therefore, addressing the issue would require redesigning these SNS to counteract the spread of fake news.
Academic Document Report Writing Errors of Teachers at Lidlidda National High School: A Corpus Study
Authors: F. Titular Neil Joseph
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to analyze a corpus of academic document reports that were written by teachers at Lidlidda National High School. Mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approached has been used to provide insights into the writing errors such as substitution, omission, addition, mechanics and permutations. The corpus of the study was selected submitted schools’ academic documents of the teachers such as narrative reports, documentation reports, anecdotal / incidental reports, minutes of the meetings, action plans, accomplishment reports among others. This study revealed significant results on the frequency of errors committed by teachers which focused on five category of writing errors which includes error counts on substitution which reflects 32.34% with the highest number of problematic errors equivalent to 76 error counts made by teachers, also the faults mechanics, which has 58 error counts (24.68%), and the least problematic categories are addition with an error count of 45 (17.37%); omission had 39 mistake counts (13.99%) and permutation had 17 error counts (7.23%). Committing errors in writing is common based on the literature, especially for teachers whose L1 is not English, for those whose English is not their field of specialization, and those who’s medium of instruction is not English. Therefore, this suggests for future studies on a wider scope of study to provide a more concise assessment on the writing errors of the teachers with significance in areas of planning, reviewing and value for educators and administrators at the same time.
Assessing the impact of non-sucrose IVIG preparations on urinary NGAL levels
Authors: Karataş Haydar Kaan , Tazegül Gökhan , Çınar Nilgün , Yegenaga Itır
Published: January 2025

Aims: The study aimed to show whether non-sucrose-containing intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration affected urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) levels within 24 hours and whether the uNGAL elevations preceded the development of acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methods: The study included 20 patients who received IVIG treatment in Internal Medicine and Neurology clinics between January 2022 and September 2022 and 10 controls (2:1 ratio) with similar age, gender, and comorbidity who did not receive IVIG. The uNGAL levels were classified as elevated (>80 ng/mL) or normal (<80 ng/mL). Patients were monitored for at least 48 hours, up to a maximum of 7 days, or until discharged, to assess the development of AKI.
Results: None of the patients developed AKI during the follow-up period. Posttreatment median uNGAL levels were 7.1 ng/mL (3.35-37.45 ng/mL, p=0.37, Wilcoxon sign-rank test), similar to pretreatment levels. However, when compared categorically, only two patients (10%) had uNGAL levels higher than 80 ng/mL pretreatment, which increased to four patients (20%) posttreatment (p=0.032, Fisher’s exact test).
Conclusion: In our small-scale study, although acute kidney injury did not develop after IVIG treatment, the increased percentage of patients (increases from %10% to 20) with elevated uNGAL levels suggests that acute kidney injury may develop even in formulations that do not contain sucrose as a stabilizer.
Stem cell therapies in ophthalmology
Authors: Erdem Abdullah , Beyoğlu Abdullah , Acar Duyan Şule
Published: January 2025

Stem cells have been used for therapeutic purposes in many areas of medicine for many years. Depending on the tissues from which they are derived and their characteristics, stem cells can be classified into various groups. Some types of stem cells have the capacity to form an entire organism, while others can only differentiate into certain groups of tissues. In recent years, stem cells have also become popular in ophthalmology. Both stem cells found in ocular tissues and those derived from peripheral tissues are gaining attention for their use in ophthalmology. In ophthalmology, stem cells have a wide range of applications, from ocular surface and periocular tissue applications to retinal diseases. Some applications, such as limbal stem cell transplantation, have become common practices in clinical settings, while experimental and promising stem cell methods, such as anterior chamber stem cell transplants or subretinal supracoroidal stem cell transplants, are being investigated. Stem cells offer hope in ophthalmology for diseases that are unresponsive to traditional treatments, irreversible diseases, or dystrophic diseases that still lack approved treatments. The long-term effects of stem cell transplants in ophthalmology have not been clearly established, and the potential for tumor development due to uncontrolled proliferation has not been entirely eliminated. While there is a possibility of negative results from experimental studies and the emergence of concerning side effects, stem cells still hold promise as an alternative treatment option in ophthalmology.
Enhanced diagnosis of superior branch retinal vein occlusion with collateral vessels using optical coherence tomography angiography: a case study
Authors: Havan Cihat , Teke Mehmet Yasin , Çıtırık Mehmet
Published: January 2025

A 41-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of decreased vision in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed microaneurysms, venous compression, empty veins, and formation of collateral vessels distal to the occlusion, which were diagnosed as superior branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Collateral vessels, originating from the intermediate and deep capillary plexuses, were determined using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging. OCTA can play an important role in BRVO diagnosis and the evaluation of microvasculature architecture. This case emphasizes the important diagnostic capabilities of OCTA in visualizing microvascular changes, such as collateral vessels, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) changes, and capillary nonperfusion.

Authors: Harbalıoğlu Yasemin
Published: January 2025

Aims: To evaluate post-treatment retinal vascularization in infants treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated data from cases treated for Type 1 ROP and AP-ROP between 2021 and 2024, followed by an examination of the birth weeks, birth weights, post-gestational treatment weeks, retinal vascularization periods, recurrence, and additional treatment needs of these cases.
Results: A total of 58 eyes of 30 infants were included in the study. Intravitreal bevacizumab (0.625 mg/0.025 ml) was injected into 58 eyes of 30 cases. The mean birth weight of the cases was 1178±509 grams (500-2790), and their mean gestational age was 28.2±2.7 weeks (23-34). The mean post-gestational week of IVB treatment was 36.6±2.1 (32-39), with a mean follow-up period of 29.5±4.3 weeks (21-37) after treatment. Following treatment, ROP symptoms were observed to largely regress in all cases, with the plus disease also regressing. Additional laser photocoagulation was performed in four eyes of two cases. The mean week for complete retinal vascularization was 61.9±3.5 (55-67).
Conclusion: High rates of regression can be achieved with intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy in Type 1 ROP and AP-ROP cases. Furthermore, complete retinal vascularization can be attained during long-term follow-up.

Authors: Küpeli Çınar Ayça , Çınar Abdulkadir Can , Güçlü Hande , Gürlü Vuslat
Published: January 2025

A 60-year-old diabetic female patient was referred to us with decreased vision and pain in both eyes. The patient had lid and conjunctival edema in both eyes and no sense of light projection. Globe movements were restricted in all directions. The anterior and posterior chambers could not be visualized. Magnetic resonance imaging showed findings consistent with orbital cellulitis and panophthalmitis. Klebsiella pneumonia was identified as the causative agent. Systemic and topical treatments were applied to the patient. The patient was discharged after her symptoms and complaints regressed. In conclusion, when proptosis, decreased vision, and pain complaints develop in diabetic patients, treatment should be started quickly, and it should be kept in mind that Klebsiella pneumonia may be the cause.

Medios audiovisuales y desarrollo de la empatía en adolescentes
Authors: Pacheco Flores Andrea Guadalupe , Guerrero Azpeitia Luis Arturo
Published: January 2025

La falta de empatía no solo es signo de desinterés o indiferencia, sino que, de igual forma, suele ocasionar violencia hacia los demás agentes sociales, promoviendo el acoso escolar (bullying), llegando incluso a ocasionar estrés o depresión, en el «mejor de los casos», o, lo que es peor, el suicidio de la víctima. Ante tal problemática, el objetivo de esta investigación fue sensibilizar a los agentes sociales, principalmente a aquellos que se encuentran en la etapa de la adolescencia, respecto a la importancia de la empatía en su entorno social, familiar y escolar mediante el desarrollo de una producción audiovisual que focalizó tanto la empatía como la inteligencia emocional en su producción. Para lograr tal cometido, se desarrolló una investigación cuasiexperimental mediante el diseño, la validación de contenido y la medición de la confiabilidad de un instrumento de medición que permitiera valorar las percepciones de estudiantes de nivel básico (secundaria) antes y después de la proyección de un cortometraje como variable interviniente. Los principales hallazgos evidencian cambios en las percepciones de los estudiantes referentes a la empatía y a su implementación en su entorno. De igual manera se identificó un posicionamiento más asertivo ante hechos presentados a través del cortometraje y también se estableció la relación que guarda la práctica de la empatía en diferentes espacios y cómo puede incidir en su concreción en los estudiantes. Como conclusión se resalta la importancia que reviste la producción de contenidos audiovisuales en la apropiación de conceptos como la «empatía» en estudiantes.
Campus virtual, dinámicas sociales y rendimiento académico en educación superior
Authors: Martínez Romera Daniel David , Cortés Dumont Sara
Published: January 2025

Se explora la relación entre el uso del campus virtual a lo largo de un curso académico, el rendimiento observado en los estudiantes (hombre y mujeres) y sus dinámicas individuales y grupales. La investigación se aplica sobre 137 estudiantes en dos asignaturas de educación superior. La metodología para llevarla a cabo es cuantitativa (analíticas de aprendizaje [learning analytics], minería de datos [data mining] y sociometría) y toma como fuentes los metadatos de los campus virtuales (25.308 registros), las calificaciones parciales y totales y los sociogramas de aula. Los datos obtenidos han permitido detectar aspectos relevantes para cada una de las cuestiones abordadas, así como relaciones explícitas entre ellas, en términos de patrones de comportamiento, entre las que destaca la capacidad explicativa de los metadatos para medir la influencia de la sociometría en el rendimiento discente. Esto subraya la utilidad de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), especialmente los campus virtuales presentes en la práctica totalidad de las asignaturas que hoy día se imparten en el ámbito universitario, como instrumento docente y no solo como medio de comunicación. Las evidencias detectadas convergen con estudios realizados en otros ámbitos geográficos y a otras escalas, lo que subraya su pertinencia e invita a profundizar en su exploración académica.
Child, Why Are They Bringing You to Trial?
Authors: Greene Christina
Published: January 2025

This chapter examines Joan Little’s prison activist supporters within the context of the broader prison movement of the 1960s and 1970s - including women’s prisons, which have received far less scholarly attention than men’s prisons. It surveys African American women’s history of organizing against the sexual abuse of imprisoned Black women (including activists), from the efforts of Ida B. Wells and the National Association of Colored Women, to the National Council of Negro Women and the left-leaning Sojourners for Truth and Justice; and the history of Black singers and songwriters who addressed incarceration and anti-Black violence. The chapter focuses on local and national prison activists, especially African American women like Celine Chenier, founder of the Durham-based Free Joan Little campaign and of Action for Forgotten Women, which advocated for prisoners at North Carolina Correctional Center for Women (NCCCW); Concerned Women for Justice for Joan Little; Angela Davis and Charlene Mitchell from the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression; and the Chicago-based National Alliance of Black Feminists. Predominantly white groups who addressed carceral concerns and supported Joan Little, such as the Triangle Area Lesbian Feminists (TALF) and the National Organization for Women (NOW), are also included.
One Punishment is not Enough
Authors: Johnson Janiece
Published: January 2025

Conviction was never enough. John D. Lee’s execution offered a path to redemption, yet in the American mind, Lee refused it. Brigham Young’s prosecution almost entirely took place in the press highlighting both political and religious concerns about the Mormons. Though accusations of Young as a despot were not new, as John D. Lee’s first trial ended, attention on Young only grew. In the two years between Lee’s first trial and Young’s death in 1877, Young became responsible for the massacre. He would never be officially tried, there was no direct evidence connecting him to the massacre. The lack of a prosecution of the Mormon Prophet served the narrative more effectively than would a prosecution.
Peace Chiefs and Blood Revenge
Authors: Lee Wayne E.
Published: January 2025

Discussions of the escalation in the intensity and lethality of European–Native American warfare lack a systematic catalog of Indian restraints on war, in contrast to the extensive literature on European warfare. This chapter surveys eastern Native American societies at war from roughly 1500 to 1800 for limits on destructive potential and intent. Although Indian societies were willing to destroy an enemy, including indiscriminate killing, patterns of restraint inherent to their social authority, cultural values, and methods of warfare tended to limit escalation and the overall level of violence. The dissonance of patterns of restraint in Indian and European warfare contributed to Euro-Indian escalation.

Throughout the 1980s and ’90s—and beyond, for those truly devoted—obsessed cassette tape lovers changed each other’s lives with mixtapes, the handmade missives that used blank cassettes to pass along musical selections. They selected and arranged sounds for friends as gifts, for crushes as courtship, for fellow music fanatics in impassioned exchanges of art and information that spurred learning and discovery, like an audio version of pen pals or love letters. They did this with relatively cheap blank tapes they could buy almost anywhere, not just at music stores but even at groceries and pharmacies. Meaning and messages could be embedded in every choice: what songs to pick, what to start with, what to end with, how to order and arrange them all, what to write on the cassette, what to put on the cover, even something as seemingly mundane as what length of blank tape to use. We meet some of these mixtape makers, hearing stories of their favorite creations and pondering the philosophy and emotional resonance of sending messages through music imprinted on cassette tapes.

The research population used were all nurses in inpatient rooms with a total of 82 nurses. The sample in this study was 45 nurses using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is a questionnaire and will be analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The research results showed that the majority of room heads' roles were adequate (53.3%), the majority of nurses' performance was adequate (48.9%) and there was a significant relationship between the role of room heads and nurses' performance with a p value = 0.005. So it can be concluded that the better the role of the head of the room, the better the nurse's performance will be. So it is necessary to suggest that the head of the room can implement his role as head of the room to improve the performance of nurses.

U radu se analizira briga države i društva o bosanskohercegovačkim ratnim vojnim invalidima tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Posebno se ukazuje na činjenicu da je u počet ku organiziranje skrbi za ratne in- valide nailazilo na ozbiljne organi zacione i materijalne probleme, jer u zemlji nisu postojale instituci- je i ustanove za tu namjenu. Sla- bo razvijena mreža zdravstvenih ustanova, kadrovski i prostorno, ostala je zatečena naglim prili- vom ranjenih i oboljelih vojnika koji su se vraćali s ratišta. Određene vrste bolesti, kao što su tuberku- loza i neka druga interna obolje nja, bosanskohercegovačko zdrav stvo nije moglo adekvatno liječiti ni do kraja rata. Glavna zadaća nad ležnih u početku bila je liječenje, a kasnije je opseg brige o ranjenim i oboljelim znatno proširen. Poseb no su nastojali socijalno zbrinu- ti invalide, a potom su osnovane ustanove za njihovu rehabilitaci- ju, prekvalifikaciju i osposobljava- nje za samostalno privređivanje. Na tome su radile posebne vladine ins titucije osnovane tokom rata, ali i nevladin sektor

The aim of the research was to determine the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support in individuals with disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research included a total sample of 232 participants, with an average chronological age of 44.21±19.31 years, of which 121 (52.2%) were male and 111 (47.8%) were female. The study was conducted among individuals with motor impairments, visual and hearing impairments, speech and language disorders, and combined disabilities. To achieve the research objective, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was applied, consisting of 12 assessment variables scaled from 1 to 7. The research data were processed using parametric and non-parametric statistical methods. A multivariate method of exploratory factor analysis was applied to identify factors in a given domain when the number and structure of factors are not previously known, along with confirmatory factor analysis using the maximum likelihood algorithm. Following factorization, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was calculated, and the reliability of the variables was assessed through inter-item statistics. Based on the obtained research results, it can be concluded that the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support has satisfactory reliability and internal consistency for use among individuals with disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicate a suitable three-dimensional model and confirm the original structure of the scale, which can be applied to individuals with disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

LEVEL OF SCREEN EXPOSURE AMONG CHILDREN ATTENDING PRESCHOOL EDUCATION AND CARE
Authors: Jusufbašić Samra
Published: January 2025

Children of preschool age are exposed to digital media/screens to varying degrees. While some authors highlight the positive effects of screen exposure, others emphasize the negative impacts, particularly on early childhood growth and development. The aim of this study was to survey parents (N = 89) of preschool-aged children attending preschool education and care regarding their children’s level of screen exposure. In addition to the primary aim, secondary objectives were set to examine the relationship between parents’ age and the level of screen exposure, the relationship between parents’ education and the level of screen exposure, and the relationship between the total number of screens in the household and the level of screen exposure. The "Seven in Seven Screen Exposure Questionnaire" was used to assess the level of screen exposure. The analysis of the results showed that the level of screen exposure among preschool-aged children attending preschool education and care falls into the category of low exposure. No statistically significant correlation was found between parents' age, parents' education, and the level of screen exposure among preschool-aged children. However, a statistically significant correlation was identified between the total number of TVs and cellphones in the household and the level of screen exposure.

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder affecting motor function in children with cerebral palsy and requires new rehabilitation perspective beyond traditional pediatric treatments. Robotic-assisted gait training and other assistive devices as methods of robotic rehabilitation became popular as a way to improve motor function in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy. This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation on motor impairments in children with cerebral palsy, focusing on functional outcomes like gait, balance and gross motor skills. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched and research papers were included up to 2024. Studies with robotic interventions for children with cerebral palsy were included using the PICOS criteria. The primary outcome was to evaluate the improvement in motor function by measuring gross motor skills and gait parameters. Data analysis used effect size calculation, I² statistic for heterogeneity, Egger test and funnel plot analysis for publication bias, as well as meta regression analysis. This review included 56 research papers. Robotic-assisted rehabilitation showed improvements in motor skills, walking speed, balance and functional mobility with robotic-assisted gait training being the most effective. Moderate heterogeneity was I²=52% and no publication bias was found through this review. Robotic rehabilitation with focus on robotic-assisted gait training is showing improvements in motor function for children with cerebral palsy and has many advantages over traditional rehabilitation methods by allowing controlled repetitive training. Future research should focus on continuous outcomes and optimization protocols to assure that robotic-assisted rehabilitation is relevant to the field of pediatric neurorehabilitation.

Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic bacterium and has rarely been reported as a cause of infection in the cornea. Ocular infection due to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic infection followed by instability of the ocular surface. Casalita et al. (2020), in their research at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia found two cases of infected corneal ulcers due to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Case description: A 57-year-old man came to the eye clinic with pain in the left eye and blurred vision. The patient was diagnosed with severe corneal ulcer and regularly came for the treatment. The patient felt that his eye suddenly got worse with visual acuity only to his hand movement. Corneal ulcer swab procedure is performed when the patient firstly visit the clinic. Samples are sent to the microbiology laboratory for culture examination. Culture results obtained were coagulase negative Staphylococcus and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Conclusion: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has several virulence factors, including resistance to various antibiotics, making it difficult to treat.
