Inwazyjna choroba meningokokowa wywołana przez meningokoki grupy C u dziecka w wieku przedszkolnym
Authors: Dylowicz Magdalena
Published: May 2022

Według danych KOROUN w 2020 r. w Polsce odnotowano 99 przypadków zakażeń meningokokowych. Większość z nich przebiega w postaci zapalenia opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych. Najwyższa liczba zakażeń dotyczy dzieci w wieku poniżej 5 lat i pacjentów z niedoborami w układzie dopełniacza. W niniejszym artykule opisano przypadek inwazyjnej choroby meningokokowej u 3-letniego pacjenta, początkowo przebiegającej z objawami ze strony przewodu pokarmowego i gorączką. W badaniu stwierdzono obecność kilku drobnych wybroczyn, znacznie podwyższony poziom prokalcytoniny przy nieznacznie podwyższonym CRP, leukocytozę z przewagą neutrofilii, a także zaburzenia parametrów układu krzepnięcia. Pomimo wdrożenia szerokospektralnej antybiotykoterapii z użyciem ceftriaksonu obserwowano zwiększającą się liczbę wybroczyn, stwierdzono dalsze narastanie stężenia prokalcytoniny i CRP, wydłużenie PT oraz APTT, hiperglikemię. Po włączeniu wankomycyny stan dziecka uległ poprawie, zahamowano pojawianie się wybroczyn; narastały jednak wskaźniki stanu zapalnego i pogorszeniu ulegały wskaźniki krzepnięcia. Potwierdzono wystąpienie zapalenia opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych oraz zapalenia stawów kolanowych. Systemowo włączono glikokortykosteroidy. W trakcie leczenia nastąpiła normalizacja wskaźników stanu zapalnego i parametrów układu krzepnięcia. W próbce krwi stwierdzono obecność materiału genetycznego Neisseria meningitidis grupy C. W 11. dobie hospitalizacji wypisano pacjenta w stanie ogólnym dobrym. Późniejszy wywiad nie wykazał odległych następstw przebytej posocznicy meningokokowej. Przebieg choroby był typowy dla inwazyjnej choroby meningokokowej – początkowe niecharakterystyczne objawy, następnie gwałtowny rozsiew wybroczyn i szybko narastające specyficzne objawy posocznicy po kilku godzinach od wystąpienia pierwszych dolegliwości.
RURAL COMPONENT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   State Institution ", Prokopa Ihor ,   Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine"
Published: May 2022

The article deals with assessing the place of rural settlements and rural population in territorial communities (TC) - the basic link of the modern administrative-territorial structure of Ukraine and highlighting the preconditions and guidelines of inclusive development of rural population in these communities. The author reveals the factors of TC formation that determined their present composition and structure. It is noted that in their creation the decisive role was played by the important values of the projected indicators of population number and area of the "affluent" community. As a result, more than 2/3 of rural settlements and 61% of the rural population joined the TCs with centers in urban settlements (towns and urban-type settlements). Many urban and semi-urban TCs unite too many villages, which gives reason to question their belonging to urban territorial units, and no other types. Using methodological approaches to the identification of rural areas in the EU, the author compiles a classification of Ukrainian territorial communities on a functional (rather than administrative) basis. In terms of population density, the author separates communities with urban and rural population, and in terms of the share of rural residents in the TC's total population – those with predominantly urban, mixed (urban-rural) and predominantly rural nature of their territories. The distribution of rural settlements and rural population by these types of communities is carried out. In terms of both indicators, the absolute majority of TCs are communities with rural, or mostly rural and rural-urban functional type of territories. The author emphasizes that territorial communities have the main responsibility for the development of their territories and, consequently, for the inclusive development of their rural communities, and that the authorities should assist them in promoting such development by implementing various public policies, especially agricultural and regional ones. This includes, first of all, intensifying support for family and commercial farms, especially in small and peripheral villages, improving rural infrastructure, as well as unbundling TCs with a very large number of rural settlements and assisting new communities in their independent functioning.

The article substantiates the importance of the production of organic agricultural products as a component of a healthy lifestyle, as well as ensuring the preservation and restoration of the environment. The authors reveal the ecological, economic and social benefits of organic production, in particular, preservation of the nation’s natural and health; reproduction of soil fertility; increased competitiveness of domestic producers on internal and foreign markets; improving the welfare of the rural population, etc. It is stated that organic production includes the conscious use of soil as an ecosystem; application of production methods and preventive protection of crops. It is established that presently the interest of consumers in the consumption of environmentally friendly foods, whose production has no negative impact on the environment, is currently growing. The study of the global organic market shows an active growth in both the number of organic producers and the output of organic products. The market of organic products in Ukraine is at an early stage of development, but there is a steady trend towards increased number of organic producers, expanded range of certified products, and increased exports of organic foodstuffs. The authors analyze a number of factors hindering the development of organic production in Ukraine, in particular, the lack of public awareness of the properties of organic foods and their difference from conventional ones; shortage of qualified specialists in producing organic foods; insufficient solution of logistical problems; low purchasing power of the population, etc. The key changes in EU legislation on organic production are considered, one of the important innovations being the possibility of using "group certification", which allows small farmers to unite, produce and jointly pass the certification of organic products. Emphasis is placed on the prospects of this model for Ukrainian producers. The study shows the possibility of using organic foods in schools based on the example of the positive experience of EU countries – for the growing a healthy, conscious and responsible generation that will take care of the future of the state.

Residents’ Perspective on Need for Point-of-Care Ultrasound Education During Pediatric Residency
Authors: Meggitt Austin , Way David P. , Iyer Maya S. , Mahan John D. , Gold Delia
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVES

Many medical disciplines incorporate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into their practice. Despite well-defined applications, POCUS has not been widely adopted in pediatrics and is not commonly taught during residency. Our objective was to profile the current state of POCUS education in pediatric residency training from the resident perspective.

METHODS

We surveyed pediatric trainees about their POCUS education, general opinions about POCUS, and perceived barriers to POCUS training in residency. We distributed the survey to a random sample of Ohio pediatric residents, stratified by program size and training level. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize responses.

RESULTS

We sampled 66.4% of the population (371 of 559) of Ohio pediatric residents and achieved a response rate of 59.3%. Only 15% of respondents received POCUS training during residency, with 85% having never performed a POCUS scan. Most (86%) desired POCUS education and 67% believed it should be required during residency. Residents felt that POCUS would be useful for procedural guidance (95%), clinical diagnosis (94%), and patient safety (74%). Most residents (61%) believed POCUS education would benefit their careers, particularly those planning on subspecialization. Barriers to POCUS education included lack of an established curriculum (75%), competing educational priorities (58%), and a shortage of qualified instructors (52%).

CONCLUSIONS

Although Ohio pediatric residents do not receive formal POCUS education in residency, they desire such training and believe it would benefit their future practice. Consensus on scope of practice, development of a standardized curriculum, and increased faculty training in POCUS may help address this educational gap.
A A picturebook reveals the nature of bias
Authors: Ryman Cynthia K
Published: May 2022

In order to disrupt hegemonic thinking, the foundation of biases on which this thinking is built must first be confronted. I became increasingly aware of the detrimental impact of implicit bias during a research project I conducted in a children’s literature course with preservice teachers. In this research project, I analysed the responses of the preservice teachers to a cosmopolitan approach to reading children’s literature. A cosmopolitan approach in literacy invites a reflexive consideration of personal perspectives and an opening towards learning from the perspectives of others (Hansen, 2017). In encouraging the ideals of a cosmopolitan approach to literacy, I encountered areas of resistance from the preservice teachers. These instances of resistance were often rooted in implicit bias. During the final stages of completing my research, the picturebook Milo Imagines the World by Matt de la Peña (2021) was released. Milo Imagines the World reveals how deeply held ideologies and biases impact perceptions of reality. An awareness of how biases impact one’s perception of reality is an important factor in developing greater self-awareness and combating hegemonic thinking. In this article, I provide a critical analysis of the various forms of bias encountered during my research along with a reflective exploration of the picturebook Milo Imagines the World. This picturebook and analysis provide a context for better understanding the subtle pervasiveness of biases that often contribute to the maintenance of hegemonic thinking.
The construction and disruption of hegemonic power in picturebooks: An analysis of “bestbehaviour" Picturebooks in China
Authors: Zou Ying , Tan Xudong
Published: May 2022

“Best behaviour” picturebooks, also known as “making good habits” or “teaching good manners” picturebooks, have explicit educational intentions that imply a culturally hegemonic voice. Despite this problematic characteristic, these picturebooks are welcomed by both parents and the market in China. Using extant picturebook theory of picture-text relationships, narratological, paratextual analyses and translation theory, this article seeks a better understanding of how this hegemonic voice is formed, resolved or consolidated via a critical reading of three best-selling “best behaviour” picturebook series available in the Chinese market. One is the original Chinese-language WaiWaiTu-ZiKongLi series (Little Bunny series). The second series is the translated United States series, Hands Are Not For Hitting, now a Chinese best behaviour publication. The third series is a translated rendition of Pete the Cat series, which did not serve any evident educational purpose in its original English-market form but has been identified to cultivate good character on the Chinese covers. These publications commonly present straightforward picture-text relationships of two-dimensional stories and characters. Most importantly, adults hold power in these best behaviour children’s books. We argue that both the construction and disruption of hegemonic thinking co-exist in these picturebooks, reflecting the nature of adult power plays. At the same time, these best behaviour picturebooks serve as a good example of how hegemonic notions work within specific cultural and pedagogical contexts.

Perceived Servant Leadership Style of Principals Correlates with Job Satisfaction of Secondary School Teachers in Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Saghir , Batool Ayesha , Abdullah Dr. Nauman Ahmed
Published: May 2022

Servant leadership is a type of leadership that encourages people to work together. A leader intends to help the institution’s personnel favorably. The school leader interacts with teachers and administrative staff as a collegial friend rather than a boss and tries to make things as easy as possible for them. The major goal of this study was to see if there was a correlation between servant leadership and job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Pakistani settings. The study’s participants were male and female public sector secondary school teachers from the districts of Lahore and Kasur, of Punjab province, Pakistan. The sample was chosen using a stratified random sampling technique. A total of 510 teachers participated in the study as a sample. In this study, adapted  questionnaires with responses measured on a five-point Likert type scale was used. Both variables, perceived servant leadership style of principals and work satisfaction of teachers showed a strong association. Further sub-factors correlations showed significant results. It is proposed that school principals adopt servant leadership style as it would be more beneficial for them to ease and comfort the school employees that might improve the institutional performance.

Published: May 2022

Bu çalışmada temel eğitim öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel beceri kavramına yönelik algıları resmedilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 121 temel eğitim bölümü 3. sınıf öğretmen adayının fikirleri alınmıştır. Nitel olarak kurgulanan bu çalışmada 3 açık uçlu sorunun yer aldığı form veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının algıları hem betimsel hem içerik analizi yöntemleri ile ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Veri analizleri ortalama .95 düzeyinde bir güvenirliğe sahiptir. Matematiksel beceri kavramına yönelik algıların ilk üçü sıklığına göre artan sırada, sayı ve işlem bilgisi, gerçek hayat bilgisi, anlamlandırma süreci olarak belirlenmiştir. Yine öğretmen adaylarının sıklığına göre artan sırada ifade ettikleri beceriler problem çözme, işlem bilgisi, şekil bilgisi şeklinde olmuştur. Ek olarak öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel becerilerden özellikle problem çözme, iletişim ve zihinden işlem yapma becerileri ile ilgili çoğunlukla uygun olmayan açıklamalarda bulundukları tespit edilmiştir. İletişim becerisi ile ilgili nispeten uygun açıklamalarda bulunan öğretmen adayı sayısı artmış olsa da bu sayı yetersizdir. Sonuç olarak, öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel beceri kavramına yönelik hatalı ve kısıtlı algılarının olduğu ifade edilebilir. Araştırma sonuçları bu konuda farkındalığın oluşturulmasının öğretmen eğitimi için kaçınılmaz olduğunu göstermektedir.
Fen Bilimleri Öğretmen Adaylarının Takım Çalışması Becerileri Üzerine Mesleki Bilgilerinin Tespit Edilmesi

Published: May 2022

Takım çalışması, kazandırılması gereken en önemli yaşam becerilerinden bir tanesidir. Fen bilgisi dersi, takım çalışması becerisini kazandırmayı amaçlayan öğretmenler için uygun öğrenme fırsatlarını sunmaktadır. Fen bilgisi öğretmenlerinin bu mesleki bilgiyi edindikleri en önemli dönem ise adaylık dönemidir. Bu fikirden yola çıkarak mevcut araştırma üçüncü sınıf fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının takım çalışması becerileri üzerine mesleki bilgilerini tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Betimsel bir araştırma süreciyle yürütülen bu araştırmaya, 149 üçüncü sınıf fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan takım çalışması becerisi mesleki tanıma testi ile toplanan veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda adayların bir bölümünün takım çalışması becerisini tanımlayabildiği ve takım çalışmasına sahip bireylerin özelliklerini sıralayabildikleri fakat takım çalışmasını ortaokul öğrencilerine fen bilgisi derslerinde kazandırabilecek etkinlikleri tasarlayamadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda takım çalışması becerisi göstergelerini etkinliklerine entegre edemedikleri ve takım çalışması becerisini kazandırabilecek etkinlik türlerini çoğunluğunun vurgulayamadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu sonuçlara ek olarak adayların takım çalışmasına yönelik ölçme ve değerlendirme aracı geliştiremediği tespit edilen bir diğer sonuçtur. Genel olarak üçüncü sınıf fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının takım çalışmasına yönelik mesleki bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Eğitim politikacılarının bu becerinin öğretimine yönelik gerekli mesleki bilgileri, fen bilgisi öğretmenliği lisans programında meslek bilgisi başlığı altında bulunan derslerin içeriklerine eklemeleri önerilebilir. Fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının takım çalışmasına yönelik mesleki bilgi kazandırmaya yönelik deneysel araştırmalar yürütülmesi sunulan bir diğer öneridir.
De la autoconstrucción a la demolición: la ruina sin propósito especulativo en el proceso de renovación de la ciudad / From self-construction to demolition: the ruin without speculative purpose in the process of city renewal
Authors: Calderón Calderón Basilio , García Araque Jesús , García Cuesta José Luis
Published: May 2022

La ciudad es un espacio en permanente transformación; el carácter de sus permanencias, ruinas y vacíos está en función de la localización, de su valor económico, de la calidad arquitectónica o urbanística y de la época en la que cada tejido urbano fue creado. Cuando se produce la quiebra de alguno de estos valores, el estado ruinoso puede convertirse en una cualidad añadida, que preludia la transformación del espacio en favor de los procesos de rehabilitación, reforma o regeneración y que, frecuentemente, enmascaran comportamientos especulativos. En este estudio se pone en contraste, por un lado, la tradicional relación entre los procesos de ruina y demolición como estrategia inmobiliaria, característicos del último tercio del siglo XX, y cuyo ciclo ha sido cerrado con una nueva edificación; y por otro, la ruina de carácter persistente y sin propósito especulativo o expectativa de renovación, localizada en los suburbios de la primera mitad del siglo XX. En ellos, el proceso ha quedado fosilizado en las dos primeras etapas, la declaración de ruina y la demolición, y constituye uno de los factores esenciales de su vulnerabilidad relativa en la ciudad.
A new view on plant and animal protein
Authors: Miroshnikov Alexander B. , Smolensky Andrey V. , Meshtel Aleksandr V. , Rybakova Polina D.
Published: May 2022

It is generally accepted that the growth of the skeletal muscles and retention of the muscle mass throughout life depend mainly on the amount of protein of animal origin consumed with food. The difference between the effect of animal and plant proteins on muscle mass has recently been studied by several authors. However, when considering this topic, researchers often make gross, in our opinion, mistakes that make it difficult to further study this topic.
Is the clear differentiation that has always been made between animal proteins and plant proteins necessary? Can we say that the differences between protein sources are minimal and perhaps even nonexistent? In this review, we considered studies on this topic and the effect of protein supplements of various origins and quality and their dosages on muscle mass and strength.

By 2017, one-quarter of people born in El Salvador were estimated to be living in the U.S. We show that extreme temperatures have negatively aected agricultural production and increased international migration from El Salvador. We nd that labor markets act as a transmission mechanism of the negative eects of weather shocks on agricultural workers, who react by migrating internationally or reallocating within local labor markets. However, these responses dier by landownership status and access to risk-coping mechanisms. Our results suggest that, despite the current anti-immigrant political climate, there should be a global responsibility relative to the consequences of climate change.
Gendered Labor Market (dis)advantages in Nordic Welfare States. Introduction to the Theme of the Special Issue
Authors: Mustosmäki Armi , Reisel Liza , Sihto Tiina , Teigen Mari
Published: May 2022

Gender equality has been named as one of the normative foundations of Nordic wel- fare states. This is reflected in how, year after year, Nordic states rank among the most gender egalitarian countries in the world (see, e.g., World Economic Forum 2020). In Nordic countries, the state has been, and continues to be, a central actor in shaping women’s citizenship, labor market opportunities, and caring roles. Especially publicly funded welfare services and policies that facilitate the reconciliation of work and care have played a major part in advancing women’s labor market participation (see, e.g., Bergquist et al. 1999; Borchorst & Siim 2002; Ellingsæter & Leira 2006; Siim & Stoltz 2015). The institutional framework of Nordic welfare state policies has been central to what has been called the ‘social democratic public service route’ (Walby 2004).One of the important building blocks of gender equality has been the aim of making policies in Nordic countries ‘women-friendly’. More than 30 years ago, Helga Hernes (1987) identified the Nordic countries as ‘potentially women-friendly societies’. She char- acterized women-friendly societies as those that ‘would not force harder choices on women than on men’ (ibid., 15), particularly in relation to work and care. Hernes also envisaged that woman-friendliness should be achieved without increasing other forms of inequality, such as class or ethnicity-based inequalities among different groups of women.However, achieving gender equality in working life and the sort of womenfriendliness that Hernes envisaged at the societal level has in many ways also proved to be challenging, as the ties between the state and gender equality goals are more complex than what they might seem at first glance. Gender disparities have proven persistent also within the Nordic context. When we issued a call for this special issue, we were inter- ested in various forms of gendered labor market (dis)advantage in Nordic countries. Furthermore, we asked how gender segregation, welfare state policies, labor market policies, and various labor market actors interact to produce, maintain, challenge, or change gender equality in the labor market in the Nordic countries and beyond. The five articles presented in this special issue address the issue of gendered labor market (dis)advantages in Nordic countries from several vantage points, focusing on both on ‘traditional’ questions, such as corporate power and sustainable employment, and ‘emerging’ questions such as intersectionality, gender culture, and aesthetic work.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of domestic selective property polymer membranes used in gas separation problems and to estimate the prospects of using appropriate membrane technologies for air drying in launch complex thermostatic control systems. The study analyzes models of membrane dryers through the example of a temperature control system with the required outlet dew point minus 25 °C under normal conditions. The existing methods of membrane drying with the corresponding designs of membrane modules and the most promising models for use at launch complexes are described. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of schematic diagrams of thermostatic control systems using cartridges with hollow fiber membranes, structurally adapted to solve the tasks at the launch rocket complex.
Development of direct systems for emergency evacuation from high-altitude units of launch complexes for integrated launch vehicles: exploratory study
Authors: Igritsky V.A.
Published: May 2022

When fueled integrated launch vehicles are prepared for a launch, there is an increased risk of fires and explosions due to fuel and oxidizer on board these vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure emergency evacuation of manned spacecraft crew and assisting personnel in dangerous situations. For vehicle service towers or crew embarkation and evacuation units this is quite a challenge as the spacecraft is at high altitude, especially it is difficult when preparing super heavy-lift launch vehicles. To solve this problem, special evacuation systems of various types are used. A common feature of existing systems for emergency evacuation from high-altitude units is the need to transfer from the main means of evacuation to an armored personnel carrier or to shelter behind the doors of a proteсted accommodation, which reduces the reliability and increases the cost of the system, especially in operation. The paper explores the prerequisites and opportunities for developing crew embarkation and evacuation systems without the use of protected accommodations and transfers, which can potentially reduce the cost and increase the reliability of these systems.

Published: May 2022

Everyone uses a traditional five-point grading system to assess students' activities, however, it is not always possible to objectively evaluate students’ work using this method. Therefore, the authors use the criteria-based student assessment system in our lessons. The purpose of this article was to compile a model of a system for assessing students' functional literacy based on a criteria-based approach.  An experiment was conducted on 32 people and data was collected using observation and interviews.  As a result of the study, it was revealed that the assessment system makes it possible to determine how successfully one or another educational material is mastered, or a certain practical skill is formed. Based on the conducted practical experiment, the effectiveness of the content-structural model of the system for assessing the functional literacy of students based on the criteria-based approach in computer science has been proved.

A training programme on constructive thinking skills for reducing psychological defeatism and attitude towards intellectual extremism of university students
Authors: Abdellatif Mohamed Sayed
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of a training programme on constructive thinking skills in reducing the psychological defeatism level and attitude towards intellectual extremism among university students and to examine the continuity of its effectiveness after the follow-up period. A quasi-experimental research design with one training and one control group and three measurements (pre, post and follow-up) was used. Twenty students participated in the research with 12 in the experimental group and 8 in the control group. The training programme on constructive thinking skills was applied to the experimental group over a period of 16 sessions. No application was conducted on the control group. The psychological defeatism scale, the attitude towards intellectual extremism scale and the constructive thinking scale were applied to the participants. Data were analysed by Mann–Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. The findings of this research indicated that the training programme on constructive thinking skills has caused a significant decrease in the experimental group's psychological defeatism and attitude towards intellectual extremism levels. Besides, there were no significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group in the post and follow-up measurements of the psychological defeatism and the attitude towards intellectual extremism a month later. Research findings were discussed within the context of the related literature and some suggestions were provided for researchers and stakeholders.

Keywords: Attitude towards intellectual extremism, constructive thinking skills, psychological defeatism, university students.
The effectiveness of a realistic counselling programme to develop taking-responsibility among hearing-impaired students
Authors: Alremawi Sameer Abdulkareem Ahmad
Published: May 2022

This study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of a realistic counselling programme for developing taking responsibility among a sample of hearing-impaired students. The sample consisted of 26 hearing-impaired students. To verify the effectiveness of the programme, the participants were randomised equally into two groups: the experimental group 13 male and female students who underwent the realistic programme and 13 students within the control group who were not subjected to the counselling programme. The researchers developed a valid and reliable scale to measure taking responsibility to achieve the purposes of this study. The findings indicated that the level of taking responsibility for the hearing-impaired students expected to graduate from the Jordanian universities was moderate, and there were significant differences between the post-test performance mean scores of the participants in the experimental and control groups in taking responsibility in favour of the experimental group due to the counselling programme.

Published: May 2022

Counselling practicum is essential to hone the skills and competencies needed. One competency to be had by the prospective counsellors is mind skills, which are metacognition skills to manage their thoughts to give adaptive responses and performance. This study aims to identify the effect of mind skills training on prospective counsellors’ performance. This study used a correlation research design to measure 50 prospective counsellors’ performance. The data result showed the variance of the mind skills and counselling performance scores. The Pearson analysis results showed significant correlations. Linear regression analysis showed that the mind skills had an effect and contributed to 12.5% of the prospective counsellors’ performance. The results showed that the mind skills (rules, perceptions, self-talk, visual images, explanation and expectations) had their role and function in leading counsellors on their best performance. The implication of these results for prospective counsellors’ education could include the mind skills training on the practicum course.

Obstacles in using the E-learning strategy in teaching high school courses (Tawjihi class) from the point of view of educational supervisors in Al-Balqa governorate
Authors: Alsaaideh Maha Hamed
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to reveal the obstacles in the use of e-learning strategies in the teaching of high secondary school courses from the point of view of educational supervisors, and its relationship to the variables years of experience and training courses (ICDL, INTEL & ICDL). The study sample consisted of (64) supervisors who work in the directorates of education in Al-Balqa governorate. To collect data, the study tool (the questionnaire) was applied electronically to all of them. The results of the study showed that the obstacles to using the e-learning strategy in teaching high school courses from the educational supervisors’ point of view came to a high degree, while at the level of the scale domains they came in succession as follows in the first order: Related to the administrative, financial and infrastructure aspect of the school environment, then the obstacles related to the educational content of the high school course, followed by the obstacles related to high school students, finally the obstacles related to high school teachers. And there were statistically significant differences in the obstacles related to the administrative, financial and infrastructure aspects of the school environment, and the differences in favor of the group of less than five years. The study recommended equipping school environments with the requirements of e-learning and providing support from various societal bodies to enhance and improve e-learning for students and teachers in government schools. 

Keywords: Obstacles; e-learning strategy; high school class; educational supervisors.

Numerous studies have revealed the critical role of premature senescence induced by various cancer treatment modalities in the pathogenesis of aging-related diseases. Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can be induced by telomere dysfunction. Telomeric DNA damage response induced by some cancer treatments can persist for months, possibly accounting for long-term sequelae of cancer treatments. Telomeric DNA damage-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and increased reactive oxygen species production are hallmarks of premature senescence. Recently, we reported that the nucleus-mitochondria positive feedback loop formed by p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK) and phosphorylation of S496 on ERK5 (a unique member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family that is not only a kinase but also a transcriptional co-activator) were vital signaling events that played crucial roles in linking mitochondrial dysfunction, nuclear telomere dysfunction, persistent SASP induction, and atherosclerosis. In this review, we will discuss the role of NAD+ depletion in instigating SASP and its downstream signaling and regulatory mechanisms that lead to the premature onset of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in cancer survivors.

Konzervativna revolucija i nacionalizam
Authors: Cipek Tihomir
Published: May 2022

U tekstu se pomoću teorije nacionalizma analiziraju temeljne ideje konzervativne‎ revolucije. To se čini rekonstrukcijom osnovnih teza političke misli Thomasa ‎Manna, Arthura Moellera van den Brucka, Ernsta Jüngera, Oswalda Spenglera‎i Carla Schmitta. Analizira se način na koji se tumačio odnos jezika i nacije, rata ‎i nacije, liberalizma i nacije, te odnos nacije spram Zapada. Pokazalo se da ‎se smatralo da se u jeziku zrcali duh nacije, da se rat smatrao temeljem nacionalnog ‎identiteta, da se liberalizam smatrao glavnim idejnim neprijateljem njemačkog ‎nacionalnog identiteta te da se odbacivao Zapad, a hvalili Rusija i Dostojevski.‎ Zaključeno je da su osnovu ideologije konzervativne revolucije činili‎ njemački nacionalizam i odbacivanje liberalizma. Istaknuto je da su konzervativni ‎revolucionari zagovarali diktaturu, ali ne i povratak na stari režim monarhije,‎ nego autoritarnu konzervativnu utopiju. Utopijske značajke konzervativne ‎revolucije i danas čine njezine ideje privlačnima radikalnoj desnici.‎

Ornithologists have long been fascinated by avian hybrids and this interest has increased in recent years with advances in our understanding of the potential evolutionary consequences of hybridisation. To date there are only four published records of hybridisation between currently recognised species in the Australian fairy-wrens Malurus spp., including one involving limited gene flow between two closely related species. Here we present three new records of hybridisation among Australian fairy-wrens and provide further information on a previous report.
Overview of Blockchain Oracle Research
Authors: Caldarelli Giulio
Published: May 2022

Whereas the use of distributed ledger technologies has previously been limited to cryptocurrencies, other sectors—such as healthcare, supply chain, and finance—can now benefit from them because of bitcoin scripts and smart contracts. However, these applications rely on oracles to fetch data from the real world, which cannot reproduce the trustless environment provided by blockchain networks. Despite their crucial role, academic research on blockchain oracles is still in its infancy, with few contributions and a heterogeneous approach. This study undertakes a bibliometric analysis and aims to shed light on the institutions and authors that are actively contributing to the oracle literature, intending to promote progress and cooperation. On the one hand, although worldwide collaboration is still lacking, various authors and institutions are working in similar directions. On the other hand, most areas of research are scarcely explored, and others are even untouched.
A Spatially Bounded Airspace Axiom
Authors: Szabó Peter , Ferencová Miroslava , Blišťanová Monika
Published: May 2022

Free route airspace (FRA) is a new concept of European air transport. It has been designed to eliminate the negative impact of air traffic on the environment, minimize fuel consumption, simplify and expand flight planning. In our research, FRA is modelled by using graph theory, networks, and convex analysis. We also looked for answers to the question which are the basic mathematical properties of airspace? Basic mathematical properties are expressed using axioms. Therefore, in our work, we state the general, basic axiom of airspace based on our FRA research. The axiom is given using practical, significant entry points and geodetic coordinates.
Validation of Sustainable Building Planning and Design Criteria for Cambodia: A Delphi Study
Authors: Chan Puthearath
Published: May 2022

Buildings can generate heats which are mostly generated from the machinery using inside the buildings, and these heats generally released to the atmosphere. Buildings can also block the wind flow by their canopies and trap the heat by using low albedo materials. These causes pointedly contribute to urban heat island and greenhouse effects. Likewise, urban development and building construction in Cambodia are growing rapidly. The construction has been recognized as a key development sector while thousands of buildings are being built and have been operated in the main cities. However, those buildings mostly have not been considered to incorporate sustainability concepts while the major final energy consumers in the country are buildings. The buildings’ energy consumption is also projected to increase more than double until 2040. Hence, sustainable building promotion in Cambodia is necessary, and sustainable building criteria are completely required. This research aims to find out significant sustainable building criteria for Cambodia and focused on planning and design criteria because having proper planning and design is a smart start leading to achieving building sustainability in all stages. This research used the Delphi methods to validate the relevant sustainable building criteria available in the literature and then select the significant ones for Cambodia based on the Delphi consensus. The results showed that ninety-nine consensus planning and design criteria were found to be significant for sustainable buildings in Cambodia.
