Wypalenie szkolne, charakterystyka zjawiska – wzrastające zagrożenie w edukacji
Authors:   Uniwersytet Zielonogórski, Góralewska-Słońska Anna
Published: December 2024

Artykuł zagłębia się w zjawisko wypalenia szkolnego, podobnego do wypalenia zawodowego, ale doświadczanego przez osoby w trakcie edukacji, a nie w środowisku pracy. Porównanie to uzasadnia wspólna obecność porównywalnych cech: potrzeba motywacji i aktywnego zaangażowania, a zwłaszcza potencjał wywoływania znacznego stresu. Wypalenie szkolne, znane również jako wypalenie ucznia lub studenta, przypomina odpowiednik zawodowy, a jego złożoność wynika z wielu przyczyn. Wśród warunków intrapersonalnych przyczyniających się do wypalenia studenckiego można zidentyfikować niski poziom funkcji poznawczych, psychopatię, niską samoocenę, niewystarczające umiejętności radzenia sobie ze stresem i radzenia sobie. Czynniki interpersonalne obejmują presję rodzicielską, brak wsparcia nauczyciela, konflikty z innymi uczniami. Istnieją również czynniki organizacyjne, w tym duże i/lub długotrwałe obciążenie pracą, nadmiernie wysokie standardy, niewłaściwe metody nauczania. Możliwe konsekwencje wypalenia studenckiego mogą być poważne i wpływać nie tylko na uczniów, ale także na ich rodziny i całe środowisko klasy. Uczniowie doświadczający wypalenia wykazują objawy wyczerpania fizycznego i psychicznego, często czują się zmęczeni, zgłaszają niski poziom energii, pozostają wycofani, niezmotywowani i często doświadczają uczucia bezradności. Aby zminimalizować ryzyko wypalenia uczniów, może być konieczny szereg działań zapobiegawczych, w tym dostosowywanie programu nauczania i metodologii nauczania do indywidualnych potrzeb uczniów, zwiększanie wsparcia społecznego, zarządzanie klimatem szkoły w celu wyeliminowania presji, poprawa komunikacji, wdrażanie kreatywnych sposobów rozpoznawania i nagradzania uczniów. Skuteczne programy zapobiegawcze powinny obejmować wszystkie aspekty wypalenia szkolnego, osobiste, interpersonalne i organizacyjne.

Authors:   Ústav evropské etnologie FF MU, Pavlicová Martina , Uhlíková Lucie ,   Etnologický ústav AV ČR, v. v. i.
Published: December 2024

The study focuses on the changes in the concept of tradition in the context of the study of music and dance folklore in the Czech lands. In the field of ethnology, which focuses its attention not only on the present but also, and very importantly, on society in its historical dimension, tradition is a topic that researchers return to at different times. The text presents reflections on the changing scholarly terrain associated with music and dance folklore, presenting different approaches to its study and shifts in its interpretation. Attention is paid to the evolution of the content of terms such as folklore, folklorism and ethnocultural traditions, the problematic use of E. Hobsbawm's concept of invented tradition in the study of contemporary traditions and in the construction of new traditions referring to traditional folk culture.
From Farming on Deforested Land to a Museum Exhibition: the Historical Development of a Velké Karlovice Farmstead no. 201 in the Context of Family Memory
Authors:   Národní muzeum v přírodě, Petřeková Jitka
Published: December 2024

The Štural farmstead, built on a deforested area in Velké Karlovice, has been under the administration of the Wallachian Open-Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm since 1968.
The aim of the study is to capture the historical development, to summarise and evaluate the available sources of various kinds related to the object of interest, and to link them with the memories of the inhabitants living in the researched area and their family members, passed down through generations. The ambition is to describe the destiny of the inhabitants of the farmstead and all the aspects linked to their existence in this original place. It is research that is the cornerstone of each building that is transferred. The micro-historical approach can help to articulate other considerations concerning different stages of the development of the area under study, its inhabitants and, ultimately, the whole community.

Authors:   Moravská zemská knihovna v Brně, Drozda Martin
Published: December 2024

Using two examples from the Haná region, the paper illustrates the influence of raabisation on the transformation of rural development. The first example is the newly established village of Rolsberk, which was constructed in the immediate vicinity of the village of Hodolany near Olomouc. The second example is an analysis of the transformation in the spatial arrangement of a manor farmstead in Velký Týnec, which was converted into a residential area with smallholdings and cottagers’ houses. In both cases, attention is paid to the reconstruction in connection with raabisation and the subsequent building development to the present day.
Museología de la masculinidad menonita en Chihuahua, México
Authors: Hernández Hernández Oscar Misael
Published: December 2024

A inicios de la segunda década del siglo XX, los primeros grupos menonitas arribaron al norte de México y, hasta la fecha, continúan asentados, principalmente en estados como Chihuahua. En el año 2000, se fundó en una ciudad de este Estado, Cuauhtémoc, el Museo y Centro Cultural Menonita, en el cual se muestra la réplica de una casa menonita tradicional. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar cómo en este museo se representa a este tipo de familia. Metodológicamente se hace un abordaje museológico consistente en la observación como turista y como antropólogo. Se analiza el montaje museográfico y se muestra que la familia menonita tradicional está configurada en dos sentidos: por un lado, como un proyecto colonizador masculino, y por otro, como una forma de organización de las prácticas de género en la familia que legitiman relaciones de poder entre sus integrantes.

Authors: Lull Sanz Júlia , Vallugera Fuster Anna
Published: December 2024

En els últims deu anys, i especialment després de la pandèmia, la discussió sobre la mediació cultural i el paper social de l’art i la cultura han esdevingut un eix de reflexió clau per pensar el lloc dels museus i centres patrimonials en la comprensió i transformació del nostre present. Aquest «gir educatiu» en els centres d’art i en els museus ha obert una sèrie de recerques, processos i experimentacions que busquen explorar i trobar en l’art i la creativitat una eina d’aprenentatge crític i una pràctica de co-responsabilitat política en l’àmbit de l’educació. Les reflexions i propostesque recollim en aquesta investigació van adreçades especialment a les institucions i museus que acullen i guarden una herència material específica provinent d’altrestemporalitats. Ens volem centrar precisament en els museus que guarden coses, matèria produïda, restes d’un altre temps que sobreviu reclamant la nostra atenció.

Published: December 2024

El metaverso (MV) es una mezcla de realidad física y digital facilitada por tecnologías avanzadas, específicamente de realidad virtual (RV) y realidad aumentada (RA). Las primeras experiencias llevadas a cabo por Museos como el Louvre (Francia), el British Museum (Reino Unido), el The Met (Estados Unidos) o Bombas Gens (España), están poniendo de manifiesto las posibilidades que ofrece el MV para mejorar la experiencia del visitante, dinamizar sus contenidos, flexibilizar el acceso y preservar su patrimonio cultural. La llegada de dispositivos electrónicos de RV, junto con los portales de MV Online, amplía las vías de divulgación y creación de contenidos para diferentes ámbitos, incluido el del arte. En este artículo se dan a conocer las herramientas tecnológicas más avanzadas que, en este momento, se están poniendo al servicio de los museos. El carácter sostenible del MV se justifica con la desaparición de las barreras físicas. La gestión de las colecciones de arte ha dejado de tener límites. En el apartado metodológico se describen las tecnologías aplicadas al proyecto del Museo Virtual Igor Issacovitch, dirigido y comisariado por Mudit.org y realizado por Rendersim. Es necesario, por tanto, conocer la potencialidad de estas tecnologías al servicio de la cultura, puesto que, de la adecuada hibridación de esta  Tecnología dependerá el liderazgo de los museos en la era digital.
APPRAISING THE GROSS RADIOLOGICAL CONTENT OF UNDERGROUND WATER USE FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES WITHIN AN ANCIENT TIN MINING VILLAGE IN BOKKOS LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA.
Authors: Masok F. B. , Freeman N. , Nabasu S. , Masok N. F.
Published: December 2024

Water sources are often being polluted by some human activities and natural phenomena, thus adversely affecting the quality of water. Some of the pollutants are Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORMs). One water sample was collected from ten different wells within Butura Kampani. Each sample was taken in a two-liter plastic container. 10ml of concentrated Nitric acid was immediately added into each sample to prevent adhesion of radionuclides with the wall of the container. The samples were counted for gross alpha and beta activity concentration using a proportional counter (MPC 2000) at centre for energy research Zaria. The results obtained showed that gross alpha activity concentrations range from 0.0042±0.00093 Bq/L to 0.13406±0.00050Bq/L with an average value of 0.02714±0.00235Bq/L while the gross beta activity concentrations ranges from 0.01405±0.00245 Bq/L to 0.37883±0.02576Bq/L with an average value of 0.7439±0.00479 Bq/L. The results revealed that the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations are below the ICRP and WHO permissible limits of 0.5Bq/L and 1.0Bq/L respectively, for drinking water.
GENERALIZED DISTRIBUTION FOR BI-UNIVALENT FUNCTIONS DEFINED BY ERROR AND POISSON DISTRIBUTION VIA BELL NUMBER
Authors: Gbolagade A. M. , Awolere I. T.
Published: December 2024

In the field of geometric function theory, generalized distributions have revealed novel insights and applications, particularly in understanding the behaviour of various complex functions. This paper focuses on estimating bounds for bi-univalent functions within probability distribution series defined by error and Poisson distributions, particularly in relation to the Bell numbers. These distributions are utilized to establish coefficient bounds, which hold significance for both the structural properties of bi-univalent functions and their applications in probability theory. By extending these methods, the study contributes to the broader framework of geometric function theory, where probability distributions offer new tools to analyze and interpret functional bounds. The findings have potential implications in areas requiring complex function estimation, including mathematical physics and statistical modeling.
APPLICATIONS OF STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY TO ENHANCE THE RELIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES FOR CORRODED PIPELINES
Authors: Opeyemi D.A
Published: December 2024

Pipeline load carrying capacity and safety are often reduced by corrosion and associated damage. The prediction of future defects and the pipeline's remaining lifetime are obtained by using consistent assessments of corrosion rates. However, its modelling often involves simplifications and assumptions to compensate a lack of data, imprecision and vagueness, which cannot be justified completely and may, thus lead to biased results. To overcome these issues, an imprecise probabilities approach is proposed for reliability analysis, decision-making, risk-based design and maintenance. It is shown how this approach can improve the practise using B31G, Modified B31G, DNV-101 and Shell-92 failure pressure models. In addition, a robust and efficient probabilistic framework for optimal inspection and maintenance schedule selection for corroded pipelines is proposed. Optimal solution is obtained through only one reliability assessment removing huge computational cost of reliability-base optimization and generalized probabilistic methods and in turn, making the analysis of industrial size problem feasible.
WATER POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT IMPERATIVES: A DEFENCE OF ETHICS FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCE USE AND MANAGEMENT IN SUB-SAHARA AFRICA
Authors: Adekeye D. O.
Published: December 2024

As the world gathers momentum for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, it is pertinent for nations and regions to begin to evaluate and address specific challenges to development imperatives. The problem of shortage of quality water for consumption in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) has been widely discussed by different academic and technical experts using diverse platforms. There are various statistics revealing a gloomy picture of water poverty on the continent despite its relative abundance of natural water resources. While the challenges and the issues that characterize the problem have received critical attention and strategies for better resource management for sustainable provision of quality and adequate water have been suggested, water poverty continues to ravage the region. This research adopted the Secondary Data Analysis method to investigate the fundamentals of the problem. The paper revealed the central roles of unethical human disposition to resource consumption and unregulated consumption pattern in exacerbating the problem of water poverty in Africa. Flagrant abuses and disregard for environmental resource management instruments in pursuit of economic and subsistent opportunities constitute major catalyst for the increasing water poverty in Africa. In light of the above, the paper explored the social justice principle of the blue ethics to contribute to the on-going discussion on water resource management in Africa.

Published: December 2024

Despite the irreplaceable value of the aquatic ecosystem to livelihoods, the continuous release of heavy metals into the marine environment have remained an issue of global concern due to their bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity in biological systems and humans. This study investigated the Pollution Status and Ecological Risk of Heavy Metals in Surface Water and Sediment of the Coastal Creeks of Ondo State. Water and sediment samples were collected from four stations between June, 2019 and April, 2021. Heavy metals in the samples were analyzed with GBC Savant AA Sigma Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). The results of the mean level of heavy metals were in the order; Fe>Zn>Cu> Ni> Co>Pb> Cd>Cr for surface water; and Fe> Cu> Co> Ni >Zn > Pb > Cr> Cd for sediment. The single-factor pollution index revealed slight to serious pollution of the water, and low to moderate pollution of the sediment. The degree of contamination (Cd) and the geoaccumulation factors (Igeo) of individual metals were also low. The ecological risk (Er) of individual metal showed low risk in the sediment, except for Cadmium that showed moderate risk (40<Eir ≤ 80) across the stations. On the other hand, the potential ecological risk (RI) revealed low risk (RI <150) of heavy metals in the sediment. The enrichment factors (Ef) for individual metals were greater than 40 (Ef ≥40), which suggests extremely high enrichment of heavy metal in the sediment through anthropogenic sources. This study provided insights into the pollution status of the surface water and sediment of the coastal creeks of Ondo state and it associate potential ecological risks.
Validación de la escala de cambio de la Universidad de Rhode Island (URICA) en mujeres peruanas víctimas de violencia de género
Authors: Maza León Rosabel María
Published: December 2024

La investigación tiene por objetivo identificar la validez y confiabilidad de la Escala de Evaluación de Cambio de la Universidad de Rhode Island (URICA). Originalmente diseñada por McConnaughy et al.(1983) y traducida al español por Redondo (2012), la escala se desarrolla desde el modelo Transteórico del Cambio (MTC) de Prochaska y Diclemente (1986) quienes elaboran un modelo comprensivo de cambio que explica los procesos y etapas por los que las personas transitan al realizar este cambio. El modelo empieza a utilizarse en contextos de adicciones, sin embargo, se expande a la experiencia de la violencia de género posteriormente. Dentro de la dinámica circular de la violencia de género, Prochaska y DiClemente (1986) muestran aquellos estadíos evolutivos necesarios para tomar decisiones como las de apartarse de su violentador/agresor. El modelo tiene una escala de medición llamada URICA,  conformada por 4 factores que explican el proceso, estadío a estadío, por el que cada uno evoluciona en su proceso de cambio.  En este estudio se contó con una muestra de 275 mujeres que han vivido violencia machista, de estrato socioeconómico bajo, cuyas edades fluctúan entre los 20 y los 44 años; la mayoría son migrantes de segunda y tercera generación de los Andes peruanos, de las cuales 79 familias migraron por el conflicto armado interno peruano (CAI). Respecto a su situación sentimental, 144 siguen con sus parejas y 161 están separadas. Todas residen en la comuna de Nievería en Lurigancho, Chosica, Lima Este, Perú. Se toma esta población en consideración, por ser la 4.ª en importancia a nivel nacional en todo el Perú, con mayores casos de feminicidios. La validez factorial obtenida con el método de rotación Varimax confirmó una estructura multifactorial del URICA, confirmando los 4 componentes originales: precontemplación, contemplación, acción y mantenimiento. El intento de reducir los factores nos llevaba a coeficientes alfas incluso más bajos de los obtenidos conservando la estructura original. Asimismo, los cálculos de confiabilidad muestran una consistencia aceptable del instrumento, arrojando un coeficiente alfa de .63 (con valores de .52 para la etapa de precontemplación; .50, para contemplación; y .61, para acción y 0.6 para mantenimiento). El presente estudio ofrece discusión y recomendaciones para mejorar las condiciones y la aplicabilidad del instrumento adaptado. La aplicabilidad del URICA en contextos de violencia machista y cambio nos dará paso a mayores investigaciones, y a pulir enunciados para que la comprensión del instrumento sea adaptada desde una mirada interseccional, en este caso, considerando a mujeres con menor grado de instrucción y en situación de vulnerabilidad.

Nowadays, courses in the Health Area value proposals for differentiated pedagogical practices where the student assumes a more participative posture and solves problems. An approach to innovative teaching practices by professors requires a re-dimensioning of the look and understanding of the method applied in their area of expertise. Among the pedagogical possibilities with these characteristics is the simulation method. The objective of this study is to investigate how teacher training based on the simulation method has changed the perspective on practical activities and their impact on the classroom. This is a qualitative study in which the inclusion criteria were to take the teacher training course promoted by the simulation and performance laboratory in this space. Data collection occurred in January and February 2022, and content analysis in March 2022. The construction of being a teacher in simulation is related to internal motivations that lead to the search for change and new perspectives in the classroom classes, which are accompanied by challenges that can be overcome to achieve quality critical-reflective education for teachers and students.
Insulin Efsitora a Useful Addition to Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes but not Type 1 Diabetes
Authors:   Endocrinology Division, Department of Medicine, Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, David-Geffen UCLA Medical School, CA, USA, Mikhail Nasser
Published: December 2024

Efsitora is a once-weekly basal insulin under investigation in a series of 5 phase 3 clinical trials called the QWINT development program. In QWINT-2 and QWINT-5 trials including insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes and adults with type 1 diabetes, respectively, efsitora was compared to once-daily degludec. In both trials, efsitora was found non inferior to degludec in lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels after 52 weeks. In patients with type 2 diabetes, 6 episodes of level 3 hypoglycemia (i.e. severe hypoglycemia associated with cognitive impairment) occurred with degludec versus none with efsitora. However, incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia alert [blood glucose (BG) 54-69 mg/dl] was numerically greater with efsitora versus degludec, estimated rate ratio (ERR) 1.24 (95% CI, 0.99-1.55). Moreover, rates of level 2 hypoglycemia or clinically significant hypoglycemia (BG <54 mg/dl) were also numerically increased with efsitora versus degludec, ERR 1.34 (0.94-1.78). In type 1 diabetes, the QWINT-5 study showed that incidence of all levels of hypoglycemia was significantly increased with efsitora versus degludec, with relative rates of 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.29; P=0.016) and 3.44 (95% CI, 1.64-7.19; P=0.0011) for levels 1 and 3 hypoglycemia, respectively. Incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia was similar in efsitora and degludec groups in both QWINT-2 and QWINT-5 trials. Patients’ satisfaction was significantly improved with efsitora versus degludec in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, efsitora might be a convenient basal insulin for patients with type 2 diabetes to decrease number of insulin injections. However, efsitora may be unsafe in patients with type 1 diabetes due to increased risk of hypoglycemia. Further studies are required to determine a safe dose-titration strategy to decrease incidence of hypoglycemia with efsitora.

Drug abuse among children is a serious issue requiring special attention in prevention and handling efforts. This study employs a normative juridical approach to identify challenges and propose solutions regarding legal protection for children involved in drug abuse in Indonesia. The results indicate that existing regulations still face various obstacles in protecting children, particularly in applying restorative justice principles and rehabilitation tailored to children's conditions as offenders. Effective legal protection must consider the psychological and social aspects of the child while emphasizing strong collaboration between the government, non-governmental organizations, and the community to support prevention and rehabilitation efforts. A thorough understanding of the implementation of the Child Protection Law and the Narcotics Law is crucial to enhancing comprehensive legal protection for children in Indonesia. This approach aims to create a more humane system focused on the child's future, enabling them to break free from the cycle of drug abuse and have the opportunity to make positive contributions to society.
