Background: Teaching through virtual learning, such as webinars, has been found to be an effective medium in medical education, as well as many other professional training streams. The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to experiment with new teaching and learning methods by utilizing technology that allows for virtual online learning and education. Most scientific medical activities have shifted to online formats, in the form of webinars, to maintain continuing medical education. We aimed to assess the acceptance of webinar for delivering an update course in accordance with the Faculty of Radiology’s curriculum. Methods: This prospective study reviewed responses from 166 radiology resident trainees, who took part in an update course organized by the Faculty of Radiology of the West African College of Surgeons on 8th - 9th July 2020 via webinar. Participants were invited to respond to a 23-item questionnaire designed using Google Forms. Data obtained were analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc. Chicago, version 20). Results: From a total of 166 participants, males 88 (53.0%) constituted the majority. Majority of the respondents (95.2%) strongly agreed or agreed that the update course via webinar was really helpful and (99.4%) of the respondents indicated that the update course has enhanced their knowledge on the topics presented. Almost all the participants (94.6%) agreed to attend another update course on webinar, however, (5.4%) of the participants suggest they prefer a face-to face update course over an update course via webinar. Conclusion: Teaching in virtual mode (e.g. webinar) is a helpful technique for medical education, especially when social distancing is required. We found that the webinar was well-received and highly rated for educational objectives. Despite a few participants' stress and burden-related highlights, the majority of participants agreed that such a teaching mode would be beneficial.
Sense of Humor in Student Task Discussion During Covid-19 Pandemic, Is It Important?
Authors: Mahardika Fetri Charisma , Prasetyo Dimas Teguh
Published: October 2021

The government has established a Study-From-Home (SFH) program to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Implementing the SFH program is an alternative for students to continue to carry out online learning as a substitute for face-to-face meetings. Online task discussion through WhatsApp groups is a solution for completing common tasks which are considered quite effective. However, learning tasks during a pandemic were considered quite burdensome, such as increased stress levels. Previous studies show that increased stress and anxiety during SFH can be reduced through humor. This study conducts an argumentative literature review to determine the importance of humor in students learning during the covid-19 pandemic. This paper shows that humor in the task discussions has an essential role during the Covid-19 pandemic. With humor, it is expected that the level of students’ anxiety during the SFH program decreases. It is also expected to have a positive impact on the effectiveness of group communication in task discussions.

Published: October 2021

This study aims to develop a work readiness theory during pandemics based on existing theories and data obtained in the field. The research approach used is a qualitative method with a grounded theory approach. Research subjects are parties who have an interest and are involved in job readiness, namely managers, employees, recruiters, and educators. There are fifteen subjects in this research. Data analysis was carried out in 4 stages: open coding, focused coding, axial coding, and selective coding to organize and integrate categories into a single category. Validation of this study was carried out by triangulation, namely by validating respondents. The researcher re-interviewed the participants by questioning the results of previous interviews to see the consistency of the data obtained. The results showed that five factors correlate with each other. The first is social support which includes support from the school environment, parents, and friendship. The second factor is the internal force which functions as a driving force for individuals to carry out a behavior. The third is the opportunity aspect. The fourth is the competency that includes how to work attitude of fresh graduates and their digital mindset. Individuals are ready to work if competence and persistence in the search can be carried out correctly. And the last selection readiness is about readiness to understand their position. This research is expected to become additional information for the future as an initial source in developing studies related to the work readiness of graduates. The study results show that it takes both internal and external strength to prepare fresh graduates for work.

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan ryhmähaastatteluaineiston avulla lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden ammattilaisten asiantuntijuutta suhteessa kokemusasiantuntijuuteen. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin kolme erilaista ammatillisen asiantuntijuuden muotoa. Ensimmäinen asiantuntijuuden muoto nimettiin yhteistyöasiantuntijuudeksi, mikä viittaa asiakkaiden kanssa yhteiseen tiedonmuodostukseen ja toimintaan. Toinen, perinteinen asiantuntijuus, taas pysyttelee tiukasti ammattiroolissa tarjoten vain rajoitetusti tilaa kokemusasiantuntijuudelle. Kolmatta ammatillisen asiantuntijuuden muotoa kutsutaan eettiseksi vartijuudeksi. Siinä painotus on käytännöllisesti ja konkreettisesti eettisyyden valvonnassa, mikä näkyy suhtautumisessa ammattilaisen ja kokemusasiantuntijan tehtäviin, ohjeistuksiin, pelisääntöihin ja riskeihin. Tulokset viittaavat siihen, että lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden ammattilaiset tuottavat eettisten kysymysten vartioinnin kautta uutta ammatillista roolia aiempien roolien oheen tai niiden tilalle. Tämä saattaa olla reaktio kokemusasiantuntijuuden aiheuttamaan paineeseen muokata työroolia.

Published: October 2021

The fact-checking is an important tool to improve the quality of the information that circulates in virtual networks. Although there are different fact-checking verification agencies, we also found some more informal strategies such as the use of the hashtag #Stopbulos. Thus, this research aims to characterize the #StopBulos hashtag on Twitter as a way to verify information and control the spread of fake news. The results showed that there was diversity among users and the themes of the tweets that included this hashtag, while the main function was to deny fake news. However, it was found that those who achieved greater dissemination were the users with the largest number of followers and institutional character. The implications of using the #StopBulos hashtag as a tool to identify false information on social networks are discussed.

When loss hurts: Psychobiological basis of frustration
Authors: Torres Bares Carmen , Morillo-Rivero Loida E. , Papini Mauricio R.
Published: October 2021

Frustration or psychological pain refers to a negative emotional experience derived from unexpected incentive loss. The scientific study of frustration with non-human animals is abundant and consistent, whereas human research on this topic seems to be more fragmentary because of the variety of conceptual, theoretical and experimental approaches. The main aim of this paper was to conduct a narrative review of the scientific literature about the psychological construct of frustration. With this goal in mind, we first described the consummatory successive negative contrast, a widely used animal model of psychological pain and frustration. We also conducted a systematic search of experimental studies aimed at inducing frustration in humans, reviewed studies focused on analyzing the relationship between physical and psychological pain, and selected experiments involving the manipulation (omission, devaluation) of social stimuli. A discussion of the implications of the results for basic and clinical research was finally included, with an especial emphasis in the current COVID-19 pandemic, a worldwide experience of incentive loss with relevant psychological consequences.
A Global Perspective on Psychologists' and Their Organizations' Response to a World Crisis

Published: October 2021

Around the world, individual psychologists have stepped up to deliver essential services to address the social and emotional sequelae of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many psychological organizations have also responded to this public health crisis, though their efforts may be less widely recognized. Psychological organizations engaged in preventive and mitigation efforts targeted, among others, the general public, local communities, and high-risk groups such as health care providers. They disseminated mental health information to the general public, trained laypersons to provide psychological first aid, and used research to design and evaluate public health responses to the pandemic. In some countries, psychological organizations contributed to the design and implementation of public health policies and practices. The nature of these involvements changed throughout the pandemic and evolved from reactive to proactive, from local to international. Several qualities appear key to the value, impact, and success of these efforts. These include organizational agility and adaptability, the ability to overcome their political inertia and manage conflict, recognizing the need to address cultural differences, and allocating limited resources to high-risk and resource-depleted constituencies where it was needed most.

Assessing van Hiele’s geometric thinking levels among elementary pre-service mathematics teachers
Authors:   Department of Mathematics Education, Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development, Kumasi, Ghana, Larbi Ernest
Published: October 2021

Teachers’ geometric thinking is crucial to teaching efficacy in geometry since teacher knowledge or thinking serves as a basis for the quality of instruction provided for students’ learning. Teachers’ thinking about geometry has attracted much attention among mathematics education researchers. This study therefore aimed at assessing elementary pre-service teachers’ geometric thinking within the first three levels of van Hiele’s model. The study was guided by three objectives. The objectives were to (1) assess the distribution of van Hiele’s geometric thinking among the study participants, (2) determine if the participating pre-service teachers’ geometric thinking is significant for teaching geometry, and (3) find out if any difference in geometric thinking of the pre-service teachers existed with regard to gender. The study used the descriptive survey design. The study participants were prospective mathematics teachers drawn from four Colleges of Education in the Bono Region and Ashanti Region of Ghana. The Colleges were randomly selected for the study. The study participants comprised 217 pre-service teachers. The van Hiele’s test instrument was adapted and pilot tested to assess the internal consistency of the items in the various levels. The calculated reliability coefficient of the instrument ranged from 0.71 to 0.74. The instrument was administered to the study participants on the scheduled date. Data generated from the participants were analysed based on the study objectives. Findings from the analyses show that pre-service teachers have limited geometric thinking within the first three levels. However, their geometric thinking of the levels assessed was found to be significant which could have some impact on teaching geometry. Findings also reveal gender differences in pre-service mathematics geometric thinking. It is recommended that conscious effort must be made by mathematics teacher educators in the Colleges of Education to deepen the pre-service mathematics teachers’ geometric thinking.

Discutimos sobre a tensão entre comunicabilidade e incomunicabilidade na experiência de uso do YouTube e Instagram por adolescentes goianos. Trata-se de um trabalho com abordagem etnográfica, cuja análise foi desenvolvida sob uma perspectiva dialética e especificamente comunicacional. Constatamos que os usos feitos pelos entrevistados estão mais próximos à observação crítica das interações já publicadas por outros agentes que da participação direta nos circuitos. Isso se deve a uma percepção dos jovens de que os conteúdos que poderiam ser produzidos por eles não atenderiam às expectativas geradas pelos usuários das redes nas dinâmicas de uso.

Irritable bowel syndrome and transplantation of fecal microbiota. Review
Authors: Fadieienko G. D. , Gridnyev O. Y.
Published: October 2021

Objective — to perform analysis of the literature data as regards the efficacy of the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Materials and methods. The systematic review of the literature (PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library) has been performed to assess the results of investigation on the use of FMT in adult IBS patients.

Results. Currently, FMT is a safe and highly successful method of treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, and possibility to use FMT in the treatment of other diseases is under investigation. The results of FMT treatment of patients with IBS are contradictory. A number of authors outline fairly high FMT efficacy when used for the treatment of patients with IBS, refractory to the standard methods: it varies from 36 % to 70 % with a duration of adequate symptoms’ relief up to 1 year. However, other authors indicate that the positive FMT clinical effect lasted from 8 weeks to 3 months, after which there was a gradual recovery of symptoms. At the same time, the researchers noted that mostly often the positive outcome was reached after FMT from donors with a higher number of streptococci in the feces. Still others point out that there was no sustained, at least 50‑point reduction in the severity of IBS symptoms from baseline. Some authors did not reveal the advantages of FMT over placebo control and even reported about the higher placebo efficacy. After data generalization no significant difference was revealed in the global improvement in IBS symptoms in patients receiving donor FM versus placebo. However, the attention is drawn to the relationship between the results of FMT with methodology. Indeed, several studies have shown that placebo capsules were more effective than capsules containing donor feces, whereas FMT from donor stool delivered by colonoscopy was superior to FMF from autologous stool. This may be due to the excipients, containing in the capsulated FMT. A number of researchers also indicated that the use of a super donor is necessary for successful FMT and that the response to FMT is dose dependent.

Conclusions. To resolve the issue of the expediency of using FMT in routine clinical practice in patients with IBS, more qualitative controlled studies, involving large cohorts of IBS patients and long‑term follow‑up, are required.
Relationships between psoriasis severity indices and dermatological life quality index in children with psoriasis
Authors: Murzina Е.О. , Rokhletsova Yu.А.
Published: October 2021

Objective — to аssess the impact of dermatosis on the quality of life of children with psoriasis.

Materials and methods. Psoriasis severity indices (BSA, PASI, PGA) and dermatological life quality indices (DLQI, CDLQI) in children with psoriasis aged 4 to 17 years depending on the clinical and epidemiological features of dermatosis were determined. A correlation analysis of the presence of a relationship between the obtained indicators was carried out.

Results and discussion. In 73.81 % of children, the BSA index was higher than 10, which provided an average BSA of 25.85 (8.78—38.38). The calculated PASI index at the beginning of treatment averaged 9.3 (3.6—18.9). 53.06 % of children had PASI < 10. The PASI index at the first diagnosis was almost 1.5 times lower than in relapses (p = 0.043). The average PGA index was 3 (2—3), namely, 32.99 % of children had PGA 1—2, 43.20 % had PGA 3 and 23.81 % of children had PGA 4. In the group of children aged 4—7 years, there was the smallest number of participants with the PGA index 4 (7.69 %), while in the group aged 16/17—17 years, this number was the largest (41.49 %) (p = 0.039). The calculated DLQI in children with psoriasis was 5 [3—9]. The average DLQI indicator in the group of girls was statistically higher than in the group of boys (p = 0.016). Statistically significant differences were identified between DLQI in the age groups, where the highest impact on quality of life was found for the children aged 16—17 years (p < 0.001) and depended on the clinical form of psoriasis: in scalp psoriasis, the impact on quality of life was moderate, and in inverse psoriasis, it was insignificant (p = 0.021). It was found that in moderate­severe/severe psoriasis, the impact on the quality of life in children increased and was assessed as moderate, while in mild psoriasis, the impact was assessed as minor (p < 0.05).

Conclusions. The course of psoriasis in children can be assessed as moderate and severe, but in the first episodes of psoriasis in droplet and inverse forms, the course is mostly mild. The intensity of skin manifestations increases with age, especially in case of the disease recurrences in the plaque form. On the whole in children, psoriasis has an ambiguous impact on the quality of life: in boys, the impact of the disease is minor; in girls, it is moderate. Damage to the visible skin areas caused by psoriasis, an increase in the area affected by the pathological process and an increase in the intensity of skin manifestations with age leads to a more negative impact on the quality of life of a child.

Acne is an urgent problem in modern dermatology. The management of this disease is a complex, lengthy and multi-step process that requires a combination of different treatment methods and an individualized approach.

Objeсtive —  to demonstrate a clinical case of effective treatment of acne in a patient with secondary immune deficiency of the first degree.

Materials and methods. A clinical case is presented of treatment of a 23-­year­-old man suffering from papulopustular form of moderate acne developed on the background of secondary immune deficiency of the first degree. The disease had a chronic course and resistance to the therapy used. The retinoid drug isotretinoin was used for treatment with a gradual increase and then decrease in its daily dose; antibiotic therapy; the drug Propes as an immunomodulator; as well as a set of cosmetic measures — chemical peelings and laser skin resurfacing. After the onset of dryness of certain areas of the skin, as a side effect of isotretinoin, emollients were locally intended.

Results and discussion. At the end of the seventh month of treatment, the inflammatory rash on the skin completely stopped. The phenomenon of postacne was eliminated. During the control immunogram 2 months after the start of complex therapy, there was complete normalization of its parameters. In addition, during the first month of taking the drug isotretinoin , the patient did not have the exacerbation of the inflammatory process on the skin which was usual for this stage of treatment.

Conclusions. The success in the treatment of the patient with acne who had secondary immune deficiency of the first degree as concomitant pathology, in our opinion, is due to a well­chosen comprehensive treatment which included antibacterial therapy, systemic retinoid isotretinoin in an appropriate for this clinical stage dose, Propes medication of the defensins group as an immunomodulatory agent, as well as the use of a complex of cosmetic measures.

Authors: Lytynska T.О. , Naumova L.O.
Published: October 2021

Objective — to increase the effectiveness of treatment of psoriasis patients with degenerative changes in the nails, by including in the complex therapy of the topical drug Onychocid® Emtrix, aimed at restoring the integrity of the nail plates.

Materials and methods. 38 patients with psoriasis and various forms of onychodystrophy (OD) were examined and treated. The effectiveness of therapy was evaluated based on the results of treatment of patients who were divided into two clinical groups — the main and the comparison ones. Patients in both groups received basic therapy. In addition, patients of the main group were prescribed a combined drug Onychocid® Emtrix, which was applied on the nail plates and under the tips of damaged nails once a day for 3 – 6 months.

Results and discussion. Patients with psoriasis are diagnosed with dystrophic changes of nail plates of varying severity. OD of the fingers only was detected in 14 (36.8 %) patients; toes — in 5 (13.2 %); fingers and toes at the same time — in 19 (50.0 %) patients. As a result of complex treatment, in patients of the main group there was an early (already on the 2—4th week of use of the drug Onychocid® Emtrix) improvement of the appearance of deformed nails. After the course of treatment, these patients showed a positive clinical effect, i. e. decrease in thickness, normalization of density, color and structure of nail plates. At the same time, «significant improvement» and «improvement» were noted in 34 (89.5 %), «slight improvement» — in 3 (7.9 %), «no improvement» — in 1 (2.6 %) patients.

Conclusions. Treatment of psoriasis patients with dystrophic nail lesions should be complex and focused, including the restoration of the integrity of the nail plates. The inclusion in the complex therapy of patients with psoriatic OD of the combined drug Onychocid® Emtrix increases the effectiveness of treatment, in particular, helps to restore the structure, shape, integrity, thickness and color of the nail plates.

Toward Nonbinary Theories of Practice in Teacher Education Research
Authors: Kavanagh Sarah Schneider
Published: October 2021

This essay argues that contemporary debates about the role of practice in teacher education run the risk of reproducing mind/body, thought/action dualisms. Absent these binaries, practice is understood as always theoretical, principled, and contextualized and knowledge and identity are understood as always embodied and enacted. The author discusses nonbinary theories of practice and their application in teacher education scholarship within both historical and political contexts. The essay argues that the practice turn in teacher education might be leveraged to enhance the field’s intersectional imagination and to eschew the polarities and linearities the field has inherited from Western enlightenment philosophy.

Dekulakisation and resettlement of former kulaks to the north of European Russia: a historiographic aspect
Authors: Lobchenko Liudmila
Published: October 2021

The historiographic overview discusses academic views on dekulakisation and resettlement of former kulaks in different periods of Soviet history, from the 1930s to the 1990s. Special attention is paid to seminal academic works detailing various aspects of class struggle in the USSR and the ‘elimination of kulaks as a class’ as well as to the labour education and lives of former kulaks. The article cites facts accepted by most historians and details of collectivisation and its consequences. It also discusses points that remain controversial in the historical science to this day and provides alternative opinions from the course of Soviet history on dekulakisation and special settlements for former kulaks.
Notes on the Language of the 1909 “Tati” Siddur (Prayer book) in the Language of the Mountain Jews by Asaf Pinchasow
Authors: Shapira Dan
Published: October 2021

The Sepharadi prayer book, printed at Vilna in 1909 for the use of Mountain Jews, was mostly bilingual with spacious translation into their language defined in this publication as “Tati”. The language of this translation predates to Soviet engineering of the Literary Tati during 1920s-1930s; moreover, parts of the translation, especially of those portions of the Bible used in liturgy, may go back to the previous centuries. No study of the language of the Biblical translations to the language of the Mountain Jews was published yet. It’s the last call to turn efforts of all those who mind the linguistic heritage of the Mountain Jews to academic studies of this language, and especially of its vanishing dialects and the language of the Biblical translations found in this prayer book and elsewhere.
Namus’ in the Soviet Caucasus: Growing up and ‘Traditional Modernity’ among Kavkazi (Mountain) Jews
Authors: Bram Chen
Published: October 2021

This article discusses adolescences and educational processes among the Caucasian (‘Mountain’) Jews during the late Soviet period. Based on a combined anthropo- logical and social- history research I describe and analyze how the world of Caucasian Jews’ children and youth were shaped in relation to several content worlds: the traditional worlds of Caucasian Jews (Juhuro); the Soviet-communist world which was also the main mediator of modernization; and the immediate social and cultural surrounding, shared by several local groups, mostly Muslims. The traditional socialization patterns of Caucasian Jews stresses the importance of the extended family, stressed hierarchy and seniority related to age. Juhuro (Caucasian Jews) socialization highlighted codes of honor and respect connected to the term ‘Namus’ – a behavioral code regarding the right way to behave, inner consciousness, and several prohibitions – especially in gender relations. At the same time, the Soviet state educational system, both formal and informal, stressed modern values and highlighted Soviet communist ideology. Soviet educational system introduced a de-facto new status of adolescence- while traditionally there was much less moratorium period between childhood and adulthood among Caucasian ‘Mountain’ Jews (and other Caucasian groups). While these content-worlds and educational approaches seems to be in tension or even contradictions, I will argue that in practice there were mechanisms that allowed a great dill of complementary between them. Soviet modernization and socialization were transmitted– andmediated– by educational agents who were themselves members of the traditional groups of Caucasus. The outcome were several version of what I call ‘traditional modernity’, with various manifestations in the different communities of Caucasian ‘Mountain’ Jews, which got different shapes in relations to location (towns/ villages etc) and the characteristics of the local surroundings. The understanding of these patterns is important not only for historical studies, but also for educators who cope with current educational challenges in the different diasporas of Caucasian ‘Mountain’ Jews nowadays.
Impact of Safe@Home on Placement and Permanency Outcomes: Results of a quasi-experimental study
Authors: Kaye Sarah , Reyes Lucia Miranda
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study was to rigorously test the effectiveness of Safe@Home, an in-home parent skill-based intervention implemented in Clark County, Nevada. Safe@Home is designed to prevent out-of-home placement for children at imminent risk of placement (Placement Prevention population) and minimize time in out-of-home care for children already in foster care (Reunification population). This paper presents a retrospective, longitudinal, quasi-experimental study that examined placement and permanency outcomes of Safe@Home. Using Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), children who received Safe@Home were matched to a historical comparison group of children served before Safe@Home was available in their community. All children in the study were determined by Clark County Department of Family Services to be unsafe and in need of immediate intervention. Children were matched based on age, race/ethnicity, previous in-home or out-of-home child welfare case, and safety threats Matched study samples demonstrated strong baseline equivalence. Children who received Safe@Home experienced a significantly lower rate of out-of-home placements, substantially higher rate of permanency with a parent, fewer days in out-of-home care, and shorter time to case closure. There was no effect of Safe@Home on post-permanency outcomes of maltreatment after case closure and re-entry. Large favorable placement prevention effects were sustained for 12 months after the end of Safe@Home.
