Perceptions and rumors about vaccinations can contribute to vaccine hesitancy. This study aimed to examine perceptions and rumors about the Ebola vaccine during the 10th Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in the Ituri and North Kivu provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Eight hundred randomly selected respondents were surveyed with a uniform structured questionnaire. Further, we collected qualitative data through focus group discussions and using in-depth interview guides. Results revealed several misperceptions and rumors about the vaccine, which led to some level of vaccine hesitancy and refusal among the people. The acceptance rate of the vaccine was 67.3% (below the 80% threshold needed to create herd immunity in the population). More of the urban population (31.3%) than the rural population (10.4%) accepted the vaccine. Refusals were largely due to fear that the vaccine could activate other diseases in the body and could even kill. Some feared that it was a conspiracy of the government to reduce the population in the study area through forced fertility control and death, among other such concerns. In conclusion, these rumors increased mistrust, which challenged the efforts of the government and its partners to safeguard the health of the people.

Identificar o papel do programa saúde na escola (PSE) na promoção da saúde em situações de
vulnerabilidade social. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, a busca foi realizada nas bases de dados
LILACS, SciELO e BDENF. Para refinamento da amostra foram utilizados as palavras-chave: “Programa saúde na
escola”, “Promoção da saúde” e “Vulnerabilidade”, em conjunto com o operador booleano AND. Como critérios de
inclusão produções científicas com textos completos publicados, disponíveis em português, que abordassem as ações
de enfermagem no aleitamento materno na atenção primária a saúde, publicadas nos últimos cinco anos (2018-2023).
Como critérios de exclusão estão os estudos duplicados e que não atendessem à questão do estudo. Assim foram
encontrados cinco artigos que após a leitura crítica evidenciaram que o PSE configura-se como recurso essencial para
ajudar a se atingir a meta de redução da prevalência de agravos infanto-juvenis e de promoção da saúde. Ainda foi
perceptível que entre as principais vulnerabilidades presentes no cotidiano dos jovens, e como temáticas de ações do
PSE, estão o uso de álcool e drogas, e a saúde sexual. Como barreiras foram encontradas que muitas das ações ainda
mantêm seu foco nos processos de prevenção de doenças e agravos, numa perspectiva clínica e por meio de práticas
fragmentadas, não tendo como foco principal a promoção da saúde. Concluiu-se o quanto o programa saúde na escola
torna-se um promotor de saúde e conscientização aos jovens sobre situações de vulnerabilidade social, o quão
essencial é a parceria entre os setores educação e saúde.

Authors: Prekate Viktoria , Palaiologou Nektaria , Kyriazi Eirini
Published: January 2024

A child-centered approach to education paves the way to discover a child’s personal dreams, aspirations, experiences, abilities, and interests. In child-centered educational contexts, students are encouraged to express and discover themselves. This is particularly relevant for refugee children who have suffered trauma, change, and repeated schooling interruptions that may negatively affect the future-oriented thinking that forms their career ambitions. The purpose of this study is to identify the aspirations of refugee children through a small-scale study conducted at a Refugee Hospitality Centre in the outskirts of Athens, Greece. Twenty-one (N) refugee teenagers were interviewed and participated upon their parents and teachers’ consent, through a semi-structured interview about their career preferences as well as their academic aspirations and intentions, as well as their chosen destination countries. The motives behind their choices were discussed and differentiations with gender, country of origin, and school attendance were examined. Finally, suggestions are made to support refugee students to explore possibilities about their career orientations and values in order to be included effectively within society and fulfill their aspirations.

Problemas y desafíos para la enseñanza decolonial de la economía en América Latina. Hacia una agenda renovada
Authors: Bona Leandro Marcelo
Published: January 2024

En América Latina la problemática de la falta de pluralidad en la enseñanza de la economía se potencia por efecto de la colonialidad del poder/saber. En esta región se repiten los modelos educativos y las teorías del desarrollo eurocéntricas, que marginan e invisibilizan las tradiciones subalternizadas. Si bien existe una amplia literatura que cuestiona el monismo en la enseñanza de la economía, así como un conjunto de aportes en relación con la propuesta decolonial en el campo de las ciencias sociales, resultan escasos los ejemplos que combinan la crítica de la colonialidad del saber con la enseñanza de la economía. Este trabajo se propone contribuir al debate sobre la enseñanza de la economía en América Latina, para lo cual se desarrolla un diagnóstico al actual modo en que se enseña la disciplina; una jerarquización de la decolonialidad como alternativa a los saberes impuestos; el desarrollo de las teorías propias de la región para abordar la enseñanza de las ciencias sociales; y finalmente una propuesta de trabajo pedagógico que incorpora nuevas miradas sobre el modo de desarrollo en la región, apoyada en las demandas que los movimientos sociales latinoamericanos colocan en debate en tiempos recientes.
Students’ and Governments’ Entanglements in Ghana’s Political Transition: How (Not) to Understand Students’ Relations with Civilian and Military Regimes, 1960–92
Authors: Anderson Eugenia A. B. , Bob-Milliar George M. , Adu-Gyamfi Samuel , Paalo Sebastian A.
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Students’ relations with postindependence Ghanaian military regimes have generally been portrayed as positive, yet comparative analysis of the relational dynamics across regime types—military and civilian—is inadequate. This article addresses this knowledge gap using a historical content analytic approach based on original archival and interview data. We argue that strategic and group interests ambiguously influenced students’ entanglement with military and civilian governments, though revolutions initially attracted more support because of their populist political ideologies and development aspirations. This fluctuating pattern of relations, which birthed Ghana’s Fourth Republic, implies that students were concerned mainly with national development beyond ideologically oriented regime leanings. The article thus modifies the predominant scholarly view of African youth, which holds that students have aided or been predisposed to nondemocratic governance and political instability.
Modernity's Waking Dreams: Walter Benjamin, Carl Jung, and the Illuminations of Twilight States
Authors: Ciaccio Jason
Published: January 2024

Abstract: While dreaming has garnered considerable attention as part of the discourse of modernity, waking dreams, dreams in which waking consciousness is present, have been considerably overlooked by humanities scholars. Walter Benjamin and Carl Jung were two theorists of modernity who sought alternate epistemologies to counter the homogenizing force of pure reason felt to dominate modern life, and wakeful dreaming played a crucial role in their respective projects. The similarities in their interests in dreams, however, are comprehensible only in light of the widely divergent conceptualizations of subjectivity and the messianic that undergird their writings. These profound differences indicate the epistemological breadth of waking dreams in the modern era.
"Yes, these are the dog days, Fortunatus": W.H. Auden and the Latin Poet Venantius Fortunatus
Authors: Brennan Brian
Published: January 2024

Abstract: W.H. Auden's "Under Sirius" (1949), constructed as an engaging interrogation of the Late Latin poet Venantius Fortunatus, has long been recognized as a vehicle for Auden's own self-examination. Yet, despite the importance of "Under Sirius" to the study of Auden's self-awareness and development as a poet, this poem's relationship to Fortunatus's poetry has not previously been explored in depth. A sustained close reading of "Under Sirius" together with its informing texts reveals that Auden has appropriated significant material from Fortunatus's poems. Rather than viewing Venantius Fortunatus as a minor poet who served as an object lesson in unrealized potential, Auden expected an informed reader to know that ultimately this poet had risen above the decadence of his times to fulfill his artistic promise.

Published: January 2024

Dyslipidemia is a non-communicable metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal blood fat levels, including total cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Triacylglycerol (TG). Dyslipidemia can lead to life-threatening complication. One of non-pharmacological treatment for dyslipidemia patient is healthy lifestyle such as nutritional modification. Cacao is a rich source of polyphenols with various health benefits. Polyphenols, mainly consisting of flavonoids, act as potent antioxidants. They contribute to increased blood flow, lowered blood pressure, elevated HDL, protection of LDL against oxidation, reduced cardiovascular disease risk, sun protection for the skin, and improved blood flow to the brain. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cacao product such as cocoa and chocolate on patients with dyslipidemia. The research employed the systematic literature review method of Randomized Control Trial (RCT). A total of 10 journal articles from the PubMed online journal system, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect were selected based on keywords using the PICO method and specific research criteria. The variables in this study included cocoa and chocolate administration and dyslipidemia, focusing on lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and TG). The study results conclude that several factors influence the effect of cacao products administration on changes in lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and TG). These factors encompass the type of active ingredient, duration, administration dosage, age, underlying diseases, patient compliance, and additional interventions.

Published: January 2024

Typhoid fever is a disease with extensive epidemiological distribution, causing high morbidity and mortality. The lack of effectiveness in prevention and treatment contributes to its continued mass occurrence. Salmonella Typhi bacteria are the main etiological cause of typhoid fever and have demonstrated resistance to various typhoidal antibiotics. This study aims to explore alternative possibilities for these issues, both curatively and preventively. Eucalyptus (Melaleuca leucadendra) is known to contain numerous antibacterial compounds, with 1.8 cineole as the main antibacterial compound. This compound exerts antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and walls. Ecoenzyme are also recognized for their antibacterial effects, containing antibacterial compounds such as acetic acid, citric acid, lipase enzyme, trypsin enzyme, and amylase enzymes. This research is a laboratory experimental study conducted using the agar-well diffusion method on Mueller Hinton agar media, with the diameter of the inhibition zone as the test result. The findings indicate that all tested concentrations of eucalyptus ecoenzyme (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%) show no inhibitory zone in all three test replications. This result suggests that eucalyptus (Melaleuca leucadendra) ecoenzyme produced by Lamongan’s MSMEs does not exhibit antibacterial effects on Salmonella Typhi.

Published: January 2024

The ecological importance and diversity of Odonata are most often underestimated. However, their sensitivity to environmental conditions makes them excellent biological indicators of environmental conditions. The aim of this study is to explore the diversity of Odonata within and around Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University forest reserve, with a view to providing valuable data to guide conservation efforts. The Odonata were collected using a sweep net from May to August 2023. This study revealed a preliminary list of 28 species of Odonata including 26 species of Anisoptera and 2 species of Zygoptera belonging to 3 families (Libellulidae, Aeshnidae and Coenagrionidae). The Libellulidae family was the most diversify, comprising 25 species alone (or 98.66%). The Shannon-Weaver index and rarefied richness revealed that site S2 had significantly higher diversity values compared to other sites due to the different crops that provide favorable conditions for Odonata to survive. Site S1 proved to be the least inhospitable for the Odonata, because it was poor in vegetation. This result was also confirmed by the distribution profile of Odonata from the Self-Organising Map (SOM).

Lopinavir/ritonavir for COVID-19: A living systematic review
Authors: F Verdugo-Paiva , A Izcovich , M Ragusa , G Rada
Published: January 2024

Objective
Provide a timely, rigorous, and continuously updated summary of the evidence on the role of lopinavir/ritonavir in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.
Methods
We conducted searches in the special L.OVE (Living OVerview of Evidence) platform for COVID-19, a system that performs regular searches in PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and other 33 sources. We searched for randomized trials and non-randomized studies evaluating the effect of lopinavir/ritonavir versus placebo or no treatment in patients with COVID-19. Two reviewers independently evaluated potentially eligible studies, according to predefined selection criteria, and extracted data using a predesigned standardized form. We performed meta-analyses using randomeffect models and assessed overall certainty in evidence using the GRADE approach. A living, web-based version of this review will be openly available during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results
Our search strategy yielded 862 references. Finally, we identified 12 studies, including two randomized trials, evaluating lopinavir/ritonavir, in addition to standard care versus standard care alone in 250 adult inpatients with COVID-19. The evidence from randomized trials shows lopinavir/ritonavir may reduce mortality (relative risk: 0.77; 95% confidence interval: 0.45 to 1.3; low certainty evidence), but the anticipated magnitude of the absolute reduction in mortality, varies across different risk groups. Lopinavir/ritonavir also had a slight reduction in the risk of requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, developing respiratory failure, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, it did not lead to any difference in the duration of hospitalization and may lead to an increase in the number of total adverse effects. The overall certainty of the evidence was low or very low.
Conclusions
For severe and critical patients with COVID-19, lopinavir/ritonavir might play a role in improving outcomes, but the available evidence is still limited. A substantial number of ongoing studies should provide valuable evidence to inform researchers and decision-makers soon

Published: January 2024

In this new Norma, surgical mask was a thing that important to wear in public. Because of the frequent use of surgical mask, the huge of waste of surgical mask were disposed per day. The surgical mask was made from a polypropylene fiber that widely used in construction in the term of concrete fiber. Polypropylene fiber had their own credibility to provide the ductile strength for concrete to reduce the cracking of concrete that was a brittle material. To study the effectiveness of the fiber from surgical mask, this fiber was used as concrete repaired materials The material of concrete repair was the important things to provide or improved the deteriorated concrete. Therefore, this study will determine that fiber from surgical mask can be used as a concrete repaired material through the comparison of flexural strength between the controlled concrete and repaired concrete. Three methods of concrete repaired was tested in this study, single layer polypropylene fiber, single layer surgical mask fiber, and double layer surgical mask fiber. Those method was applied to deteriorated concrete prism. The result for flexural strength of concrete after repaired for all method was decreasing from the strength before repaired but the result of second method was higher than the first method and the third method was higher than the second method. The concrete failure condition, showed the failure happened on the same location failure before repaired that meant the failure happened on the concrete repaired material. However, the used of surgical mask fiber was changed failure condition of the concrete prism from sudden failure to periodic failures. Therefore, the surgical mask was effective to repair the damage concrete due to crack failure because the fiber of the surgical mask can controlled that crack.

Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Kim Youngcheon
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the inequality in elementary school students’ shadow education experiences based on their parents’ socioeconomic status (SES). Accordingly, we investigated the differences in types of shadow education participation based on parental SES in South Korean elementary school students, as well as the direct and indirect impacts of differential shadow education experiences on students’ school life and academic performance. The results of the study revealed the following disparities in shadow education. Firstly, students from lower SES backgrounds participated in after-school programme and subscribed learning programmes, but did not gain significant assistance in enhancing their learning and comprehension at school. Secondly, students from middle SES backgrounds participated in mono-subject hakwon and multi-subject hakwon, acquiring prerequisite knowledge in subjects through preparatory learning, which contributes to their academic performance at school and prepares them for future grade-level transitions. Thirdly, students from higher SES backgrounds engaged in multi-subject hakwon and private tutoring. They are participating in advanced learning for a much longer period of 2-4 years compared to the previous two classes. Through this, they are consisently ranking 1-2 in the class. Lastly, students from the highest SES backgrounds participated in youngjae hakwon and private tutoring. They internalized various inquiry skills and learning abilities necessary for school study, regardless of their grade level. Based on the characteristics of different types of shadow education and the learning disparities revealed in this study, we can contribute to various policy, curriculum, and instructional solutions and suggestions at the school education.

Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Pyun Jiwon , Kim Sunhee
Published: January 2024

This study delves into the burgeoning potential of the Metaverse for art therapy by examining the experiences of art therapists on the platform ZEPETO. It specifically seeks to investigate the feasibility of applying the Metaverse in art therapy settings and uncover the nuanced experiences and interpretations of art therapists within the ZEPETO platform. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative research approach - narrative inquiry - was employed. Five art therapists possessing over two years of clinical experience and demonstrating enthusiasm for exploring the Metaverse were recruited as participants. Over three weeks, from October 19, 2021, to November 4, 2021, they engaged in six non-face-to-face, hour-long Metaverse sessions on ZEPETO, occurring twice a week. To deepen our understanding of their experiences, participants were subsequently invited to create artworks and participate in written interviews reflecting on their ZEPETO journeys. Through insightful narrative analysis of the art therapists’ experiences, the study yielded the following key findings. Firstly, ZEPETO presented a novel avenue for art therapists to explore and express their creative desires, offering unique therapeutic possibilities. Secondly, initial interactions within the unfamiliar virtual environment evoked feelings of confusion, stemming from unfamiliarity with the platform’s controls and the ambiguity of boundaries within the Metaverse. Thirdly, the process of translating their Metaverse experiences into artworks served as a catalyst for the creation of practical knowledge, contributing to the development of expert-informed therapeutic approaches. Lastly, analysis of the narratives not only enriched the understanding of the Metaverse’s therapeutic potential but also initiated a broader discussion regarding its broader applicability within the field of art therapy.
