Published: July 2023

Aim: The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in education has become increasingly important, as educators and policymakers recognize the potential of these technologies to enhance learning outcomes. This quantitative research study investigated the impact of students' access to and use of ICTs in school.

Methods: The study employed a descriptive survey design using a 13-item questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, administered to 110 out of 154 college students. The study was conducted in a college of education in Hohoe, Volta region of Ghana. Participants were obtained using stratified random sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics and mediation analysis were used to analyze the data at a 5% alpha level.

Results: The results showed that the grand mean was highest for the "Always utilizing ICT" group and lowest for the "Not at all utilizing ICT" group. On average, female students reported higher mean scores for having access to and use of ICT to improve their learning in school than male students. Primary Education (PE) student teachers had the highest mean scores, followed by Junior High School (JHS) student teachers, and Early Childhood Education (ECE) student teachers had the lowest mean scores for having access to and use of ICT to improve their learning in school. The study also found that access to and use of ICTs had a significant negative relationship with program of study and a positive relationship with the impact of ICTs used in school. Gender did not have a significant impact on the use of ICTs in school.

Conclusion: This study concludes that access to and use of ICTs in school can have a positive impact on student teachers learning, and the impact is influenced by program of study.

Recommendation: It is important for all stakeholder (particularly, teachers and institutions management) to encourage students to utilize ICTs in school to support their learning. The study highlights the importance of ensuring equitable access to ICTs, especially for student teachers in ECE.

Optimal decisions on price and inventory for a newsboy-type retailer with identifiable information and discount promotion
Authors: Ni Guanqun
Published: July 2023

Consider a retailer selling a seasonal item, new items are stocked at the beginning of sale season and no inventory replenishment is permitted. Assuming the initial price is exogenous and the information about demand becomes more accurate as the sales season progresses, the retailer is allowed to make an in-season price adjustment after conducting a review. After the review time, if the price is adjusted to be lower than the initial price, demand increases more quickly with price decreasing which reflects the promotional effect of discount. Given the initial inventory, an optimal price adjusting model is proposed to maximize the retailer’s revenue. Taking decisions on inventory into account, the proposed model is extended to maximize the retailer’s profit rather than revenue. Numerical examples are also illustrated to test the proposed model. The results show that the optimal in-season price mainly depends on the proportion of the remaining demand, the price sensitivity, and the effect of sales promotion. An important managerial implication is that the retailer should gather the demand information about the price and raise the in-season price as soon as possible to gain more revenue when the price elasticity is small enough. Otherwise, when the price elasticity is larger, the retailer should maintain or decrease the price to gain more revenue.

Recommender Systems Based on Reinforced Learning
Authors: Sineglazov Victor , Sheruda Andrii
Published: July 2023

This article is devoted to the problem of building recommender systems based on the use of artificial intelligence methods. The paper analyzes the algorithms of recommender systems. Analyzes the Markov decision-making process in the context of recommender systems. Approaches to the adaptation of reinforcement learning algorithms to the task of recommendations (transition from the task of supervised learning to the task of reinforcement learning) are considered. Reinforcement learning algorithms Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient and Twin Delayed DDPG were implemented with their own environment simulating the user's reaction, and the results were compared. The structure of a recommender system has been developed, in which the recommender agent generates a list of offers for an individual user, using his previous history of ratings. In the system itself, the user has the ability to interact only with the space of recommended films. This can be compared to the main YouTube page, which is a feed with suggestions, but we have a user interacting only with this feed and his reaction to objects in the recommendation space falls into recommender agent, which regulates the parameters of the model in the learning process.

Доброкачественные педофилы: опыт зарубежных стран в профилактике предупреждения преступлений против половой неприкосновенности и половой свободы в отношении детей
Authors: Кондра А.В.
Published: July 2023

Педофилия всегда являлась острой темой для обсуждения как в сфере медицины, так и юриспруденции. За всю историю противоборства с педофилией было создано много методов и средств, направленных на предупреждение преступлений против половой свободы и половой неприкосновенности детей, а также лиц, совершивших их. У всех была разная эффективность. Проблема в том, что меры направлены на лиц, уже совершивших преступление против половой неприкосновенности, однако что делать с лицами, которые являются педофилами, но не желают вредить детям (также в иностранных источниках их называют "доброкачественными педофилами")? Вопрос рассмотрен в данной статье на основе опыта зарубежных стран с выявлением основных позиций государственной политики, направленных на доброкачественных педофилов.

La adquisición de habilidades para “el buen pensar” es el objetivo principal en cualquier ámbito de formación; tanto en los escenarios de alto rigor académico como en los escenarios orientados a un entrenamiento técnico, de tal manera que la puesta a prueba de los conocimientos adquiridos y las habilidades y entrenamientos fomentados durante un proceso de formación, permitan abordar de manera eficiente los retos que implican el diseño y desarrollo de las soluciones a los problemas que tengan lugar en la vida profesional. Es así, como la adquisición de conocimientos y el fortalecimiento de habilidades, deben estar especialmente orientados a la construcción del pensamiento en el área específica; esto es, un pensamiento matemático en el matemático, un pensamiento físico en el físico, y en el tema especial que nos ocupa de, un pensamiento computacional y/o algorítmico en los estudiantes que están interesados en formarse como Ingenieros de Sistemas, con un fuerte y riguroso proceso de formación en el área de la programación y el desarrollo de software. En la construcción de la presente propuesta, se sigue una rigurosa línea de exploración académica, desde la fundamentación filosófica de textos como ¿Que significa pensar? de M. Heidegger entre otros, hasta la impronta de las metodologías de Diseño Instruccional, un valioso recurso para la generación de guías descriptivas en la construcción de herramientas de formación y apoyo, operando bajo la estructura de fases claramente establecidas (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). De igual importancia son las contribuciones en el área de los aprendizajes dentro contexto educativo en Colombia, de los trabajos de Julián de Zubiría Samper, en el marco de las llamadas “Pedagogías Activas”
The issue of the customs control area: economic and organizational aspects
Authors: Vozniakovska K. , Bilenets D.
Published: July 2023

The article describes the specifics of the legal regulation of the formation and arrangement of customs control zones.Customs plays an important role in international trade. The main reason for the creation of customs control zones is the permanent or temporary stay in a certain territory of goods and vehicles moving across the customs border of Ukraine. The regulation procedure, identification of goods, use of declaration systems and use of regimes of regular customs restrictions play an important role in the regulation of export-import relations.Customs authorities have at their disposal various tools for controlling the movement of goods. These instruments are intended both for interfering with the flow of goods during border crossing and for collecting taxes and fees. The formation of customs control zones in the territory of special customs zones follows from legislation. Although, in some situations, the basis for the creation of such customs control zones may be the decision of the customs authorities. In such cases, information on granting the status of temporary storage warehouses to the relevant objects is indicated; customs warehouses; cargo customs complexes, etc.The decision on the creation of customs control zones is made by the customs office in accordance with the area of its activity. In practice, there is a typical structure of a decision on the creation of a customs control zone.The article raises the question of the functioning of economic entities that are the holders of customs infrastructure objects, in respect of which additional requirements may be established regarding the arrangement of customs control zones.

Traditional Dispute Resolution through Lekgotla: The Approach of the Bakgatla Ba Mosetlha in the North West Province of South Africa
Authors: Rammala Macdonald Nkhasho Ryke , Matlala Mpho Mark , Berhane Tsegai Ghebretekle
Published: July 2023

South Africa has a mixed legal system and owns state and customary dispute resolution systems where formal and informal laws co-exist. The article addresses the traditional dispute resolution in South Africa, particularly how lekgotla (traditional court) mediates and resolves disputes in the North West Province at the village of Makapanstad which has over 32 villages under its traditional authority. The article applies Community-Engaged Participatory Research (CEPR) that includes narratives (storytelling), observations of traditional court proceedings, one-on-one interviews, focus group discussions, home visits, and community dialogues through an ongoing engaged research project called Lekgotla La Batho. The article argues that there should be a collaborative working relationship between traditional leaders, elected local representatives and the court system to effect benefits for rural communities through adequately defined legislative frameworks and processes. It advocates for a model of cooperative conflict resolution in rural areas that is at the grassroots level, is understood, and conforms to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. However, the powers and functions in traditional dispute resolution are not adequately spelt out in the Constitution and there is a lack of constructive interaction, coordination, and collaboration between the traditional institution of conflict resolution and the formal court system. There are debates on the guidelines to implement the coordination or collaboration between these two institutions. However, these debates occur amid significant challenges such as human rights issues, lack of documentation of traditional dispute cases, and checks and balances in the powers to be transferred to traditional leaders within the democratic Constitutional prescriptions.

Published: July 2023

La rapidez de transferencia de calor entre una placa y los fluidos que la rodean en un tópico ampliamente estudiado. Este puede analizarse mediante el uso de ecuaciones semiempíricas o por ecuaciones de transporte. Mientras que en el primer método se suelen tener restricciones de uso, el segundo resulta ser matemáticamente complicado sobre todo debido a la convección. El uso de la Dinámica computacional de Fluidos (CFD) para resolver las ecuaciones de transporte puede reducir la dificultad y el tiempo que se requiere para su solución. Para garantizar que en estas simulaciones se obtengan resultados confiables, se debe realizar una sintonización, es decir, validar los modelos y parámetros mediante la comparación con resultados experimentales. En el presente trabajo se realizó la sintonización de la simulación de la transferencia de calor a través de una placa plana. Se elaboró un dispositivo para analizar experimentalmente el flujo de calor entre dos fluidos separados por una placa plana posteriormente se simuló este mismo sistema usando el software Fluent V20 estudiantil. Se simuló la convección natural en la placa utilizando propiedades del aire como funciones de la temperatura. El estudio fue verificado utilizando placas de diferentes materiales (hierro, vidrio y acrílico) y la comparación de los resultados se utilizó para modificar los modelos matemáticos utilizados y ajustar los parámetros utilizados como la conductividad térmica. Los resultados finales mostraron una diferencia promedio de menos de 1.5°C entre las temperaturas experimentales y las obtenidas por simulación.
Unesco Department "Music, Education, Science — for Peace" at P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine: The Strategic Dimension
Authors: Bondarchuk Viktor
Published: July 2023

The author of the article considers promising areas of activity that will affect the UNESCO department "Music, education, science - for peace" created at the P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine. The article analyzed the strategic dimensions of the effectiveness concerning the department’s activities. The complex and aggressive processes of today, in which Ukrainian nation- and state-building is deepening, are described. Along with this, a modern reflexive cultural product is also actively asserted, which will gain momentum as a phenomenon that is supposed to go beyond the limits of the possible and the impossible, the permitted and the forbidden, the real and the imaginary. The boundaries of permanent and canonized stereotypes as well as principles that formed the consciousness of the nation throughout the history of Ukraine were determined, crystallizing a worldview model in which the basis of Ukrainian identification, mental essence, legal certainty, and ethnicity is lost. The "weight" of the concept of "turn" as a form and possibility of returning to new principles in establishing the essence of processes and phenomena has been clarified, becoming an important impetus for generating the idea of changes and renewals of Ukraine, its cultural preservation, perception in Europe and recognition in the world. The essence of the concept of "updating" is highlighted as a toolkit for achieving changes in the entire humanitarian system of Ukraine with clearly defined goals, objectives, tasks and forecasted results. The author proves and substantiates that the National Music Academy of Ukraine named after P. I. Tchaikovsky is the absolute subject of the artistic initiative of the state, whose traditions form new criteria for the quality of modern education. The academy is turning into a place of freedom of thought, permanent scientific research, intellectual competitions and the latest management methods. In addition, an important factor is that it has become the center of creation of a new highquality educational product, integrating it into the European and global environment.
INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF FUEL COMBUSTION IN AIR HEATERS OF BLAST FURNACES
Authors: Petryk O. , Nazarenko I. , Lapkin S.
Published: July 2023

The issues of increasing the energy efficiency of blast-furnace blast heating by increasing the temperature under the cowper and reducing the specific consumption of natural gas by heating the combustion components and increasing the blast temperature are considered. The aim of the study is to increase the efficiency of fuel combustion, save natural gas, determine the technical feasibility and thermal efficiency of heat exchangers at different flow rates of natural gas for burners and complete combustion of blast-furnace gas with a minimum excess air coefficient to achieve the specified technical and economic indicators of the furnace. In order to increase the efficiency of fuel combustion, determine the technical feasibility and efficiency of blast furnaces while ensuring complete combustion of blast furnace gas with a maximum calorific value to achieve the specified technical and economic indicators of blast furnace air heaters, it is proposed to install heat exchangers for heating air and blast furnace gas with hot flue gas waste.

Achieving this goal is quite justified, since with the help of the calculated economic effect, it is possible to optimize the operation of air heaters and improve the efficiency of fuel combustion by installing a heat exchanger for heating blast furnace gases and combustion air.

It is proposed to install additional equipment of heat exchangers to increase the temperature of the hot blast during the cycle of supplying it to the air heater system. The study and improvement of the thermal operation of blast furnace air heaters is presented, which makes it possible to reduce the consumption of natural gas. Increasing the energy efficiency of blast furnace production leads to a reduction in the cost of pig iron production and an increase in the competitiveness of finished metallurgical products.

O tratamento de fraturas pediátricas múltiplas da mandíbula é um desafio para o cirurgião bucomaxilofacial. A decisão em relação ao tratamento conservador ou a intervenção cirúrgica deve ser baseada em um correto processo de elucidação diagnóstica, exames de imagens adequados e na avaliação clínica do paciente. Metodologia: este trabalho é um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de caso, elaborado por meio da anamnese, exames complementares, bem como fotografias do paciente. Objetivo: Este trabalho consiste em demonstrar um caso de um menino de 10 anos de idade, vítima de queda de própria altura em contato com um animal doméstico, compareceu ao serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial de um hospital de urgência com queixa de “dor em face”. Foi feito diagnóstico de fratura múltipla de mandíbula envolvendo região de ramo esquerdo, parassínfise direita e ramo direito. Foi realizado acesso transcervical devido a presença de múltiplos sítios mandibulares acometidos, redução e fixação das fraturas que ofereceu um tratamento satisfatório para o paciente. Considerações finais: Embora raro, o trauma de face pediátrico continua sendo uma condição dramática associada a grandes morbidades e sequelas predisponentes. O acesso transcervical bilateral em pacientes pediátricos continua sendo uma opção de grande valia para casos específicos: fraturas de grande deslocamento e múltiplos sítios mandibulares envolvidos. O planejamento cirúrgico e expertise do cirurgião são chaves para correta execução.

Objetivo: Verificar nas bases de dados as publicações mais recentes sobre os impactos positivos da humanização dentro da urgência e emergência. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura elaborada pelas seguintes etapas: escolha do tema e elaboração do problema de pesquisa. Definição de critérios adotados para inclusão e exclusão para a amostra; definição das palavras chaves; exibição das informações através de um instrumento como tabela ou gráfico; análise dos dados; explanação dos resultados; evidenciar os resultados encontrados. Resultados: Após avaliação detalhada dos artigos foram selecionados 10 artigos que responderam à pergunta norteadora da pesquisa e oferece assuntos significativos para o desenvolver da pesquisa. Foram expostos as estratégias e dificuldade encontradas pelos profissionais de saúde para pôr em prática diante do cenário de urgência e emergências. Conclusão: O acolhimento foi uma das estratégias mais utilizadas dentro da política de humanização evidenciado nos estudos analisados, pois a mesma proporciona um momento entre profissional e usuário proporcionando um diálogo e avaliando as queixas e angústias advindas do paciente.
Stability of psychological wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic among people with an anthroposophical worldview: the influence of wondering awe and perception of nature as resources
Authors: Steinhausen-Wachowsky Anna , Martin David , Rodrigues Recchia Daniela , Büssing Arndt
Published: July 2023

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic, differences in responses and behaviors were observed among specific groups. We aimed to address how people with an anthroposophical worldview behaved with respect to the perception of burden, fears, and wellbeing. As it is an integral part of their lifestyle and convictions, we addressed the influence of wondering awe and gratitude and perception of nature and times of mindful quietness as resources to cope.

Methods

In two cross-sectional surveys with standardized instruments, participants were recruited in 2020 (n = 1,252) and 2021 (n = 2,273).

Results

Psychological wellbeing was much higher than in other studied groups and populations, with slightly lower scores in 2021 compared to the 2020 sample (Eta2 = 0.020), while the perception of the COVID-19-related burden and fear of the future were low in 2020 with a slight increase in 2021 (Eta2 = 0.033 and 0.008, respectively). Their transcendence conviction was negatively related to fears of their own infection or the infection of others. Best predictors of their wellbeing were low burden and awe/gratitude, while the best predictors of their burden were low wellbeing and lack of social contacts.

Conclusion

Compared to the general population in Germany, the anthroposophical lifestyle and related convictions may have buffered some of the COVID-19-related burden and helped them to stabilize their psychological wellbeing.
Dementia and ethnicity — partnering with community organisations to co-produce research priorities and study design exploring access to dementia services for ethnic minority patients
Authors: Reynolds Josephine , Fryer Kate , Mitchell Caroline
Published: July 2023

Background

Dementia is a rapidly growing problem projected to rise steepest in ethnic minority communities; nearly 600% over 40 years compared to the UK population. Despite this, patients from ethnic minorities are referred less to memory clinics, diagnosed at more advanced stages, and present more often in crisis.

Aim

To complete extensive patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) work and build academic–community partnerships to prioritise research questions and co-design a study exploring dementia and ethnicity.

Method

Collaborative partnerships formed with Shipshape (South Asian), SACMHA (African and Caribbean) and Lai Yin (Chinese) community organisations and PPIE with >80 people.

Shipshape Men’s Club for elders with memory problems.

Consultation meeting with SACMHA staff and home visits to African Caribbean house-bound elders.

Deep End Research Alliance Dementia workshop.

Carers event co-organised by Shipshape and Lai Yin.

Results

Community and patient: no word for dementia in several languages; dementia under-diagnosed and seen by some as unnecessary biomedical/western label and over-medicalisation; families function as single units rather than individuals and younger generations accommodate for memory problems, concealing dementia; and communities prioritise physical health over dementia and their link is under-recognised.

Research and health services: dementia services not culturally competent or appropriate; all communities complained about ‘parachute’ academics; tangible action needed rather than perpetually re-visiting the ‘problem’; and acronyms and phrases such as ‘hard-to-reach’ were unpopular. Lack of consensus on preferred terminology.

Conclusion

Participatory action research project using Photovoice qualitative methodology was co-designed with communities. Stakeholders to co-produce complex intervention prototype seeking to improve dementia services for ethnic minority communities.
Why do children under 5 years go to the GP in Lambeth: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Craven Eleanor , Luck Gemma , Brown Kerry , Dodhia Hiten , Foster Shaneka , Stanke Carla , Seed Paul , Crompton James , Whitney David
Published: July 2023

Background

There is a paucity of research about how under 5-year-olds utilise primary care in the UK, despite having one of the highest consultation rates of any age group. A greater understanding of the factors influencing health within this age group can inform targeted health promotion.

Aim

This study aims to understand primary care use in children under 5 years old in Lambeth, how this is influenced by key sociodemographic factors, and how these factors influence frequent attendance to primary care.

Method

GP records from Lambeth, South London, were extracted from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2020 for all children under 5 years old. The frequency of codes entered during an interaction were ranked and then compared by sex, ethnicity, age, and deprivation level. A clustered logistic regression was then run to determine how these factors influenced frequent attendance.

Results

Nine conditions formed over 50% of all patient interactions: the most common reason was upper respiratory tract infections, followed by eczema and cough, with minimal variation by age and ethnicity. Children living in the most deprived area and children of Indian, Bangladeshi, and Other White ethnicities were more likely to be frequent attenders.

Conclusion

Most reasons for attendance for children under 5 years to primary care are for acute, self-limiting conditions. Some of these could potentially be managed by increasing access to community care services. By focusing on the influence of the broader determinants of health, health promotion efforts have the opportunity to reduce barriers to health care and improve outcomes.
Control of magnetic susceptibility of probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
Authors: Gorobets Svitlana , Gorobets Oksana , Kuzminykh Liubov
Published: July 2023

The paper investigates the increase in the natural magnetically controlled properties of probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and their ability to form magnetically sensitive inclusions (MsI). The magnetic susceptibility of LGG was increased by modifying the nutrient medium composition and by cultivating the probiotic culture in a constant magnetic field. Therefore, this study can be useful for their further use as magnetically controlled vectors since it is being extensively researched for their use in targeted drug delivery in cancer treatment, for the prevention of chemotherapy complications, etc. The results of this study indicate that growing microorganisms with natural magnetically-guided properties in a modified medium with iron chelate and in an external magnetic field leads to an increase in the magnetic susceptibility of LGG by 1.8 and 2.6 times, respectively, compared with the control. The best magnetic susceptibility was recorded for LGG suspensions, which were grown in a constant magnetic field and cultured in modified medium with iron chelate. The LGG suspension, grown both in a constant magnetic field and on a modified medium with iron chelate, had the highest magnetic susceptibility, and it was 4.8 times larger than the magnetic susceptibility in the control.

Akhara System in Kumbh Mela : An Epitome of Hindu Mythology
Authors: - H.S. BHAKUNI
Published: July 2023

Every 12th year and for next 48 days the mankind witnesses the largest gathering of faith from all around the globe in the holiest KUMBH MELA. Worshippers traveling for miles and waiting for years attain their sacredness after taking bathe in the holy river of the epic age. Four locations as mentioned in the epic sagas are chosen for the auspicious occasion namely, Haridwar on the Ganges river, Ujjain on the Shipra river, Nashik on the Godavari river and Prayagraj on the confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna and the Saraswati. Kumbh Mela holds its significance in the form of Akharas which in the initial days were meant to be training halls. Epic like the Mahabharta also highlights the prevalence of Jarasandha’s Akhara. Later in the age Adi Shankaracharya established categories of the akharas grouped into Astradhari and Shastradhari.
