The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in parenting attitude and parenting stress and the pro-sociality of young children according to individual variables of Uzbekistan mothers, and to analyze the relationship between mothers' parenting attitudes and parenting stress and the pro-sociality of young children. The subjects of the study were 200 young children and their mothers from four kindergartens located in Khorazm, Uzbekistan. The collected data were subjected to t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis using the SPSS 23.0 program. As a result of the study, first, it was found that there was a significant difference in the parenting attitude according to the mother's variables according to the child's age, mother's educational background, occupation, and total family income. There were significant differences in mother's parenting stress in children's age, mother's age, educational background, occupation, and total family income. Second, the prosociality of infants was found to be significantly different according to the age of infants, mother's educational background, and occupation. Third, there were positive correlations with the child's prosociality and the mother's parenting attitude, autonomy, affectionate attitude, and negative correlation with the insensitivity of parenting stress and role limitations.
O Modelo de Regras Processuais Europeias de 2020 e o CPC/15: Entre Pontos de Convergência e Omissões em Torno da Gestão de Competência
Authors: Dourado Gabriel Peixoto
Published: July 2022

A harmonização processual é uma tendência inequívoca do direito processual comparado. O trabalho busca demonstrar similitudes entre o já vigente Código de Processo Civil brasileiro de 2015 e o modelo de regras europeias editadas em 2020, focando em um silêncio eloquente de ambos acerca das regras de competência, que continuam aprisionadas a um regime de legalidade estrita. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica, parte-se da conjectura que o mero estabelecimento de foros concorrentes não é o bastante para contribuir para o alcance da eficiência processual. A partir dessa premissa, busca-se exemplificar instrumentos que viabilizem uma gestão da competência, como a cooperação judiciária e a noção de competência adequada, que viabilizariam uma alocação ótima de competências e introduziriam a discussão sobre as regras de competência como algo necessário a consecução do processo eficiente.

Published: July 2022

As a consequence of the sudden global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, all the countries around the world, including Türkiye, had to adopt online education as a substitute for face-to-face education, thereby leading to a radical and unprecedented transformation. In this respect, pre-service teachers’ readiness for online teaching gained greater significance as they had to switch from face-to-face teaching to online teaching. Accordingly, this study aims to identify pre-service English language teachers’ (PELTs) readiness for online teaching. A qualitative research design was adopted in this research. The data were collected through an open-ended survey from 45 PELTs who study at the department of English language teaching at a state university in Türkiye. The technique of content analysis was employed for the analysis of the data gathered. The findings indicated that even though most of the PELTs perceived themselves as ready to teach online, they expected their department/faculty to provide them with a more structured and efficient training in terms of improving their technology integration skills into their instruction. Moreover, a great majority of the PELTs expressed their worries about insufficient technological equipment and technical problems in their future classrooms.

Introduction.Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a frequently occurring complication after transplantation of allogeneic hematopoietic cells associated with a decrease in the quality of life and long-term administration of immunosuppressive drugs. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a second line of therapy after treatment failure with glucocorticoids.

Aim— to evaluate the effects of ECP treatment in patients with glucocorticosteroids (GCS)-refractory, GCS-dependent or GCS -intolerant chronic GVHD.

Materials and methods.24 patients with GCS-refractory, GCS-dependent or GCS-intolerant chronic GVHD were included in the therapy with ECP. Nine patients had moderate chronic GVHD, and 15 had a severe chronic GVHD. Skin and mucous membranes were the most frequently targeted organs, 21 and 20 of 24 patients respectively, liver damage was detected in 8 patients. The maximum duration of treatment was 33 months (median — 8.5 months). The number of procedures of ECP ranged from 6 to 48 (median — 22).

Results.A response was determined in 23 patients with one patient being excluded from the assessment due to a relapse of acute leukemia. 16 (69.5 %) patients achieved an overall response to ECP treatment. Three patients had complete response and full reduction of immunosuppressive therapy. When assessing organ-specific response, the most notable improvement was observed in the mucous membranes of 17 patients (89.4 %), skin — 17 (85 %), and liver — 7 (75 %). Along with achieving a general overall response, 78.2 % of patients partly reduced or completely canceled immunosuppressive therapy.

Conclusion.ECP is an effective and promising second line treatment method for chronic GVHD in patients with GCS-refractory, GCS-dependent or GCS-intolerant forms.

The chemical vapor transport method was used in this research to synthesize MoS2 bulk. Through mechanical exfoliation, we limited the thickness of MoS2 flakes from 1 to 3 μm. In order to fabricate a p–n homogeneous junction, we used oxygen plasma treatment to transform the MoS2 characteristics from n-type to p-type to fabricate a p–n homogenous junction and demonstrate the charge neutrality point shift from −80 to +102 V successfully using FET measurement. The MoS2 p–n homogeneous junction diode showed an excellent p-n characteristic curve during the measurements and performed great rectifying behavior with 1–10 Vpp in the half-wave rectification experiment. This work demonstrated that MoS2 flake had great potential for p-n diodes that feature significant p–n characteristics and rectifying behavior.

Published: July 2022

We investigate the spectrum smoothing effect of the amplified soliton pulse in an ultrafast Tm-doped fiber chirped pulse amplifier, in which the soliton pulse is amplified to 7.3 W with a pulse duration of ∼350 fs. The experimental investigation reveals that the spectrum smoothing effect arises from the polarization filtering effect of the grating-based pulse compressor, which is further confirmed by a theoretical simulation. This effect not only smooths the amplified laser spectrum, but also improves the pulse contrast ratio.

Abstract: Purpose: This is to look into the impact of leadership on employee output in the local governance sector during the COVID – 19 Era. Research Methodology: A quantitative and descriptive approach, as well as a census method, were used to sample 220 employees. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data, multiple linear regression was used to test hypotheses, and SPSS version 20 was used to input, process, and analyze data. Result: The findings demonstrate that visionary, laissez-faire, and servant leadership styles have a considerable impact on staff output. Furthermore, employees' output is unaffected by autocratic and charismatic leadership styles. Limitation: The research only investigated five different types of leadership styles. Within the central region, it was similarly limited to only one metropolitan assembly. Contribution: It was demonstrated by the theory that under the local government, some various forces and situations drive the organization's activities; thus, leadership should be ready to change and dynamically position themselves to handle issues that arise.

Rewarding or Sanctioning Performance? A critique on group dominance and counter-group dominance in public organizations
Authors:   Department of Public Administration and Management, Lira University, Lira, Uganda, Mwesigwa David
Published: July 2022

Published: Jul 4, 2022 Abstract: Purpose: This study aimed to determine the synergy between performance rewards and performance sanctions. Research methodology: A desk research was adopted in which obtainable literature was consulted regarding the emerging themes and sub-themes of the study. Results: Results suggest that PRS are key elements in organizational management. Both monetary - and non-monetary rewards play significant roles but there is a greater move towards non-monetary rewards among modern-day organizations and public managers. Execution of performance sanctions is an essential aspect of enforcing performance though there are challenges inhibiting the process of identifying employees to be sanctioned. In this paper, it has been noted that direct supervisors are likely to suggest sanctions as a way of venting their anger against the unsuspecting victims. That is why it is imperative to reflect on whether the emphasis on performance rewards and sanctions is perpetuating group dominance and how probable the counter-group dominance group can abide by and/or ward off elements of subjugation in public organizations. Limitations: This study relied solely on secondary data yet adoption of primary data would yield significantly. Contribution: The results of this study are useful in guiding future field-based studies as well as those involved in human resource management in both the public sector and the private sector.

Magyarország megváltozott biztonsági környezete következtében országunk szuverenitásának és területi integritásának biztosítását nem elegendő a NATO alapokmányának 5. cikkelyében foglalt kollektív védelemre alapoznunk, mert szintén a washingtoni egyezményben, pontosabban annak 3. cikkelyében megfogalmazott kötelezettség a nemzeti ellenálló képesség (reziliencia) kialakítása, ami nemzeti felelősség. Ennek fényében, továbbá a reziliencia katonai oldalának kialakítása érdekében, illetve a Magyar Honvédség elrettentő képességének fokozása mellett előtérbe kerültek a nem hagyományos műveletek, a hibrid hadviselés és a szürkezónás műveletek. Ezért a Magyar Honvédség kötelékében álló minden alakulat feladatrendszere átalakul, különös tekintettel az MH vitéz Bertalan Árpád Különleges Rendeltetésű Dandár (a továbbiakban KR DD) képességfejlesztési irányaira. A szerző tanulmányában rámutat arra, hogy a Honvédelmi és Haderőfejlesztési Program (HHP) egyik fontos fejlesztési iránya a különleges műveleti képesség fejlesztése, s ennek a változások fényében szükséges kiegészítését, átalakítását, illetve annak lehetséges irányait mutatja be. A cél a dandár szövetségi és koalíciós feladatokban, illetve az országvédelmi feladatokban tervezett szerepéhez kapcsolódó, de még hiányzó képességeinek kialakítása, valamint a meglévő képességeknek a kor színvonalára való fejlesztése.

Stamping and inspection are tasks that have been done manually since the beginning of time. Doing these tasks manually is time consuming, there is a possibility of error in it and it gets hectic after a while so it cannot be performed continuously. Automation has been simplifying and reducing the possibility of error over the recent years. In this project we will be designing and developing a prototype for stamping and inspection of metal cans using pneumatics and programmable logic controller (PLC). The stamping is done using the mechanism of quick retrieval by pressurized air. We aim to inspect cans of different sizes and make the system compatible to a wider range of industries. Different sizes of cans will require different pressure while stamping which will be programmed and stamping will be done accordingly with the required pressure. We can further develop the system to automate the whole production including pouring of material in cans, lidding, packaging, stamping and sorting. This work will propose a 3D design on the electropneumatic system and all the components used will also be discussed. This article is unique due to the concept of using one conveyor belt for two different sizes of cans. With the help of this design we can design different systems which can be compatible for multiple products in different industries. This might turn out to be a great solution for small scale industries that want to automate their plants but have not been able to due to high initial cost.

Since the last few decades, image denoising is one of the most widely concentrated areas of research in the domain of image processing. A wide variety of denoising algorithms have been explored to date, but the problem of noise prevention in Magnetic Resonance Images is still a great barrier to the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. This paper mainly focuses on the study and analysis of different Denoising algorithms, the type of noise handled, and their efficiency. Preprocessing of medical images is considered one of the important steps that can enhance the accuracy in the prediction of various diseases. The presence of noise and other artifacts are believed to degrade the prediction accuracy which is the important metric that directs physicians to prolong further in providing clinical guidance to the patients. Most of the algorithms perform denoising in the complex domain. Deep learning-based Denoising algorithms are found to produce more promising results than traditional ones. However, the number of training samples and the training time are some limitations worth mentioning. Magnetic Resonance Images are sources of input for medical diagnosis of a variety of diseases. On removal of noise, these images can go a long way in the early diagnosis of numerous fatal diseases and can save lives. The predominant objective of this summary is to direct the researchers to choose prompt denoising techniques appropriate for their applications despite the available limitations in the same. This review is comprehended with the main aim of suggesting effective image denoising approaches that can go a long way in enhancing the quality of biomedical images.

Published: July 2022

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a negative outcome of breast cancer or its treatment, which affects 1 of every 5 patients. Disruption of the lymph flow results in its accumulation in the tissues with resulting edema. Diagnosis is based on the presence of symptoms such as progressive upper extremity swelling, limb pain and discomfort, skin changes, restricted range of motion, and the measurement of the extremity girth. First-line treatment is nonivasive, which includes compressions or physiotherapy. Prevention strategy focuses on compres­sion therapy or exercises, however, limiting the extent of lymph node removal is the only measure shown to reduce the incidence of BCRL.

Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative dise­ase that is characterized by elevated platelet count, speci­fic changes of megakaryocyte lineage in bone marrow as well as non-specific clinical symptoms. This case report presents a 40-year-old female complaining of episodic chest pain and shortness of breath. Cardiologists ruled out cardiovascular pathologies after performing electrocar­diography (ECG), echocardiography, a complete blood count, and a treadmill test. After a recurring episode of chest pain, the patient was sent to the emergency depar­tment on suspicion of acute coronary syndrome or pul­monary embolism but routine tests (ECG, troponin I, D-dimers, computed tomography pulmonary angiography) excluded these diagnoses. Essential thrombocythemia was diagnosed based on bone marrow trephine biopsy results and positive genetic testing for JAK2 mutation. The patient was assigned to the low-risk group, there­fore, she received aspirin therapy as well as correction of cardiovascular risk factors.

Tikslas – išanalizuoti junginės papilomų klinikinius požymius, diagnostikos ir gydymo principus. Tyrimo metodas – sisteminė literatūros apžvalga. Mokslinių pu­blikacijų paieška atlikta naudojantis PubMed paieškos sistema elektroninėje Medline duomenų bazėje. Atrinkti straipsniai, parašyti anglų kalba.

Rezultatai. Junginės papilomos auga egzofitiškai, en­dofitiškai arba mišriai. Dažniausiai jos apibūdinamos kaip epitelio išaugėlės, kabančios ant plonos kojelės. Šiuolaikinėje oftalmologijoje naviko diagnozavimui dažniausiai naudojamas nesąlytinis, neinvazinis tyrimas – optinė koherentinė tomografija. Junginės papilomos gydomos konservatyviai arba chirurginiu būdu.

Išvados. Junginės papilomos turėtų būti diagnozuoja­mos neinvaziniais tyrimo būdais, tokiais kaip OKT. Itin svarbu riboti invazinius tyrimus dėl papilomų išsi­sėjimo rizikos. Jeigu gydant tik konservatyviai, nepa­vyksta efektyviai išgydyti junginės papilomų, tikslinga taikyti chirurginius gydymo metodus. Gydant papilomas tradiciniu chirurginiu būdu, atliekant plačią eksciziją, geriausių gydymo rezultatų siekiama taikant papildo­mus gydymo metodus (krioterapiją/ CO2 lazerį/ vietinę chemoterapiją).

Tyrimo tikslas − atlikti literatūros paiešką ir išsiaiškinti lakiųjų organinių junginių (LOJ) sąvoką bei ligų diagnos­tikos potencialą. Į literatūros apžvalgą buvo įtraukti 9 straipsniai, nagrinėjantys LOJ ir jų taikymo galimybes.

Tyrimo rezultatai. Lakieji organiniai junginiai išsiskiria organizme metabolinių reakcijų metu ir gali būti naudo­jami kaip biožymenys. Iškvepiamo oro mėginių tyrimas yra neinvazyvus ir gali būti naudojamas kvėpavimo takų ir kitų sistemų sutrikimams diagnozuoti. LOJ tyrimams šiuo metu daugiausia naudojami dujų chromatografijos-masių spektrometrijos ir elektroninės nosies metodai. Iškvepiamame ore esančių LOJ tyrimus galima pritai­kyti plaučių vėžio, kvėpavimo takų infekcijų bei lėtinių obstrukcinių plaučių ligų diagnostikai.

The emergence of day care centers is linked to a historical context, in Brazil the new perspectives for this field of education are related to the issue of initial and continuous teacher education, in the articulation between educating and caring. Analyzing how teachers, school development assistants (ADE) and managers understand the realization of pedagogical practice and care in the education of children from zero to two years, is the focus of this investigation. Who used qualitative research, sampling and data collection in interviews and workshops with managers, teachers and school development assistants - who provide care in the municipal education units of the city surveyed. It was captured that in the process of working with the children we seek the articulation of educating and caring, the teacher plans and conducts the pedagogical process and the ADE performs care. There are divergences in the conception of caring and educating between families and school professionals; difficulties with the number of children per room, in view of meeting the needs of children; problems with infrastructure for both care and the educational process; little or no time for vocational training activities. The professionals proposed strategies to bring families closer to school and time needed for continuing education. During the investigation, it was perceived the limit of not having the view of the family, which may be the object of future research, with an expansion of the understanding of the problems and situations experienced.
Paths to a critical systematic review in the Marxist literature: The relationship between ‘cultural Marxism’ and higher education

“Cultural Marxism” has been used as a justification for the attack on critical social thought around the world. Higher education, as a place of knowledge production, has not been left out of this attack and has been targeted in recent years in Brazil with greater force since the beginning of the Bolsonaro government. Thus, this article aims to present a proposal for a Critical Systematic Review on the relationship between 'cultural Marxism' and higher education. This is a systematic critical review of the literature on the topic present in Marxist journals. We opted for the systematic review method, adapting its steps to the area of ??Marxist scientific knowledge. Thirty-two recognizably Marxist scientific journals were identified. The "primary free terms" used to create a search strategy were 'higher education', 'cultural Marxism' and 'culture warfare' and the "secondary free terms" used were 'Frankfurt School, 'Bolshevism' and 'conservatism'. As a result, 563 publications were obtained. After using the PRISMA flowchart, 35 articles were included for review. The analysis of the data extracted from the 35 articles included will be carried out through Critical Content Analysis and the interpretation will be made by the method of dialectical historical materialism. In this adaptation, it was necessary to consider the different internal search systems of each journal and their limitations. One hypothesis is that these difficulties may be due to the interest that Marxist knowledge is out of the debate, and one way to do this is to make it difficult to retrieve it on the internet. We think that the search path presented in this article can help other researchers interested in the Marxist debate to find journals and use a systematic way to facilitate the reproducibility of the path to be followed.

Authors:   Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia, Salazar Olga
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Learning motivation is a complex process that involves aspects related to student, the teacher, the learning environment, the institutional curriculum and the social context in which learning oscurs. The mediation of teachers in the academic practices of medical students influences the process of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of students. Objectives: To understand the interaction between factors that influence the motivation of students in the learning experiences in the didactic meetings of clinical courses. Methods: Qualitative study under the interpretative framework of Symbolic Interactionism and analysis following the guidelines of Grounded Theory. Semi-structured interviews and observation of academic practices of clinical courses were conducted. Open coding was done, grouping of codes into categories and the paradigmatic matrix that relates the categories around the central phenomeno was built. Results: The teacher as a rol model emerges connected to the love of teaching, knowing what he teaches, knowing how to teach and empathically relationships with students and patients, favors motivation through a safe learning environment, in context of the faculty`s constructivist curriculum. Difficulties in personal interactions and in the organization of courses interfere with students motivation. Conclusions: The empathic relationships of the teacher with students and patients in the training practices that encourage the active participation of students favor a safe environment, motivation towards learning, self-regulation and the autonomy of the students.

Introduction: In order to overcome the traditional curricular models in Nursing and Medicine courses, one of the proposals has been to organize the training based on an integrated curriculum and active teaching-learning methodologies. The teaching-service partnership has proven to be an important strategy for the implementation of this curricular organization, being supported in the proposals of the National Curricular Guidelines. Thus, it is important to understand the processes involved in forming partnerships with health services. Objective: to analyze the construction of teaching-service partnership in Primary Health Care, in a city in the state of São Paulo, in Nursing and Medicine curricula from the perception of managers, preceptors and teachers. Method: qualitative research carried out with academy and service managers, preceptors and professors. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eleven managers, eight professors, and nine service preceptors. Content analysis, thematic modality was used in processing the data. Results: it was identified that teaching-service partnership is essential in integrated curriculum in the dialogical competence framework and there is a need for agreements between the partners. There are challenges in building the agreements for the training and participation of professionals as preceptors. It was proposed to strengthen and consolidate the partnership by means of documents, participative management, resumption of periodic meetings, and Permanent Education in Health between the academy and the service. Conclusion: The processing of the interviews in each segment and among the researched segments (managers, preceptors, and professors), provided the opportunity to understand the perspectives in an articulated manner. The partnership is understood as something important for training in the world of work and the challenges to be faced for its consolidation involve agreements by means of participative management.
