This method allows children to freely express themselves by applying a mixture of colored paint to the designated area. The focus of this research is to determine the effect of finger painting activities with natural materials on the fine motor development of group B children at YPK Pniel Malawele Kindergarten, Sorong Regency. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, data collection methods include observation, interviews and documentation. Findings from observations and interviews conducted in Kindergarten showed that, among 10 children, 6 children showed a high level of fine motor skill development, while 4 children were at an early stage of development. This gap is caused by different levels of teacher guidance and attention, as well as irregular attendance in learning activities. Therefore, it can be concluded that finger painting activities, especially if facilitated effectively, can make a big contribution to improving fine motor skills in children.

Reflexões sobre a cegueira na Cultura Digital: parafraseando José Saramago
Authors: Castelo Barbosa Vânia Maria , Da Silva Maria Valdenia , Junqueira de Souza Renata
Published: September 2024

As tecnologias digitais transformaram o modo como as pessoas passaram a se organizar e a se comunicar atualmente, influenciando diversas áreas do conhecimento e o que é produzido na e pela cultura digital. Entretanto, os webconsumidores vivem as consequências do que poderia ser considerado prejudicial às relações sociais de nosso tempo, os excessos. Nessa perspectiva, o romance alegórico Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995), de José Saramago, apresenta uma cegueira branca que afetou uma cidade inteira. Essa cegueira representaria, na concepção criativa do escritor português, o excesso de razão, cujo resultado seria a insensibilização das pessoas. Poderíamos, então, considerar que Saramago estaria, por meio dessa narrativa, prevendo um desenvolvimento caótico para a sociedade pós-moderna ou apenas expressando uma visão pessimista a respeito da humanidade? Objetivamos tecer um diálogo entre algumas ideias apresentadas no livro Ensaio sobre a cegueira e aspectos do contexto digital contemporâneo, e refletir sobre as interações interpessoais nas mídias digitais à luz da alegoria saramaguiana e de estudiosos do meio digital. Para tanto, recorremos à pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter bibliográfico, cujo aporte teórico baseia-se nos estudos de Fisher (2023), Hissa e Araújo (2021), O’Neil (2020), Bridle (2019) e Han (2015). Mediante as análises realizadas, obtivemos como resultados a percepção de que a cegueira da razão, apresentada neste romance, assemelha-se aos excessos produzidos no contexto digital. Estes excessos podem levar ao adoecimento dos usuários e à falta de alteridade. Concluímos que, em contraposição a essa situação, faz-se necessária a “pedagogia do olhar”, proposta por Han (2015).
Literatura e espaço digital

Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, buscamos analisar a plataforma Book Creator pela perspectiva dos Novos Letramentos. Mobilizamos noções como as de novo ethos e nova mentalidade, de Lankshear e Knobel (2007), e espaço híbrido e ciborgue, de Haraway (2000). Nossa investigação é de natureza aplicada e de abordagem qualitativa. Analisamos uma obra literária digital produzida e disponibilizada na plataforma mencionada por uma estudante do ensino fundamental. Identificamos aspectos de um novo ethos e de uma nova mentalidade na produção de obras dessa natureza, pois foi elaborada seguindo a lógica da distribuição, do compartilhamento, da esfera pública e da experimentação. Apesar de limitar a interatividade, observamos que a obra analisada também se adequa aos novos letramentos, porque proporciona uma experiência mediada pelas tecnologias, reunindo recursos multimodais e multimídias que a tornam um produto em movimento para o leitor contemplar. Apontamos ainda possíveis contribuições do trabalho com obras digitais para o desenvolvimento de habilidades de leitura e escrita, como a descentralização da autoria, adaptação à era digital e dinamicidade da leitura; além de limitações, como o acesso limitado à tecnologia, os custos, a falta de letramento digital e os desafios na verificação da autenticidade do conteúdo. Concluímos que plataformas como a Book Creator são ferramentas potencialmente favoráveis no ensino de língua materna, mas sua eficácia depende de mediação adequada para se tornar uma prática efetiva de novos letramentos.

Al-Dirāsah al-Muqāranah baina Kitābay al-Jurūmiyah al-Jawān wa Matn Alajrūmiyah fī al-Bāb Marfū’at al-Asmā’
Authors: Revi Fradita  , Muhamad Agus Mushodiq  , Nailul Izzah
Published: September 2024

Arabic without the knowledge of Ilm Nahwu cannot be understood. The Matn Alajrūmiyah and al-Jurumiyah al-Jawan are reference books for learning qawāid (Arabic grammar), commonly used in Islamic boarding school environments. All students must study Arabic grammar as a basis for their ability to read the manuscript (turāś). This research aims to explain the differences in the preparation of qawāid learning materials, especially in the Marfūat al-Asmā' chapter in the al-Jurumiyah al-Jawan book and the Matn Alajrūmiyah book so that students can detect the ease of learning Arabic using these two books. The type of research used is qualitative library research with comparative study methods. The results of the research show that both books have complete material regarding Marfūat al-Asmā' along with relevant examples. The difference lies in the additional content, where the author of the al-Jurumiyah al-Jawan book not only presents material on Arabic language rules but also inserts ancestral advice. As for the book Matn Alajrūmiyah, the author only focuses on the rules of Marfūat al-Asmā'. al-Jurumiyah al-Jawan uses the Arabic pegon script with Javanese as the language of instruction, except in examples. The Matn Alajrūmiyah uses Arabic script and Arabic as a whole. As for the style of presentation, the al-Jurumiyah al-Jawan book uses a poetry style that is relatively easy to memorize, in contrast to the Matn Alajrūmiyah, which uses a prose style.

The subjects of this study were 20 Curup State Islamic University students in the program of Arabic Education. Two questionnaires were used to collect data for this study. Questionnaire 1 contains closed questions. Two people were asked to fill out similar questionnaires to support the quantitative data collected from the first questionnaire, most of which contained open-ended questions. The results showed that subjects tend to have similar difficulties in academic writing regardless of their previous educational context. The most common difficulties are related to the use of language and coherence. Other difficulties with writing are associated with own results and finding relevant topics and sources, including references and quotes. Another conclusion that can be drawn is that various factors can contribute to these difficulties. The main factors are lack of experience and prior knowledge of academic writing conventions and poor academic writing learning process for students.

Eficacia de las técnicas de litigación oral en el interrogatorio de representantes del ministerio público frente al Covid-19
Authors: Hidalgo-Dávila Milagros
Published: September 2024

El objetivo principal fue determinar la relación entre las técnicas de litigación oral y los interrogatorios frente a los desafíos y adaptaciones del juicio oral durante la pandemia, por representantes del Ministerio Público. Se abordó una investigación del tipo básica con diseño descriptivo correlacional, aplicado a una muestra de 30 encuestados entre fiscales del distrito fiscal de San Martín y abogados especialistas en la materia. Los resultados evidenciaron que para el 46,7% de los encuestados el nivel de las técnicas de litigación oral es medio y para el 66,67% de los colaboradores el nivel de los interrogatorios es medio. Por otro lado, la relación entre las técnicas de litigación oral y los interrogatorios al resultado del coeficiente de correlación de Spearman demostró ser positiva y moderada. Se concluyó que factores como la necesidad de adaptarse a una modalidad virtual y la limitación en la interacción presencial dificultan el ejercicio de las técnicas de litigación en juicio oral, asimismo, la posibilidad de suplantar identidad, así como la variabilidad del testimonio virtual dificultan los interrogatorios efectuados por fiscales. Finalmente se concluyó que la brecha digital y las limitaciones en la tecnología influyen significativamente en la relación de las variables de estudio.

Compulsive buying is a phenomenon that involves dysfunctional shopping behaviors together with a continuous concern about buying and problems derived from said behaviour that impact different aspects of daily life. This study aims to analyse some of the psychological factors related to compulsive buying both online and offline, such as anxiety and impulsivity. 202 Volunteers from both sexes between the ages 18 and 69 participated. A questionnarie was designed based on the Barrat Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11, 1995), the Bergen Shopping Adicction Scale (BSAS, 2015) and the State-Trait Anxiety Questionnarie (STAI, 1983). It was verified that the most impulsive and anxious individuals tend to perform more behaviors related to compulsive buying. No differences in compulsive buying based on age were found. It is interesting to delve into the implications derived from dysfunctional purchasing behaviors and the psychosocial implications of such practices.
Self-compassion as a moderating variable between attachment, emotional dependence, stress, anxiety, and depression in Spanish adolescents
Authors: Etxaburu Nerea , Herrero Marta , Estévez Ana
Published: September 2024

Attachment is a critical element of the origin of emotional dependence, and one of the most studied consequences of emotional dependence is its role in the development of anxious-depressive symptomatology. Self-compassion has been shown to be a protective factor against anxiety and depression, but no studies have been found that relate it to emotional dependence. Therefore, the three objectives of the present study were to analyse the relationship between these variables; to study whether sociodemographic variables influence these variables; to test whether emotional dependence mediates the relationship between attachment and dysfunctional psychological symptomatology; and to determine whether these relationships are moderated by self-compassion. The sample consisted of 940 adolescents (55.7% female and 44.3% male) from Spain. Emotional dependence was found to mediate the relationship between attachment and dysfunctional psychological symptomatology, and these relationships were moderated by self-compassion. Self-compassion is recognised as having a protective effect on levels of emotional dependence, stress, anxiety and depression.

Published: September 2024

The aim of this study was to examine possible differences by sex and stage of adolescence in the use of proactive and preventive coping, its relationships with personality and emotional adjustment. A total of 934 Spanish adolescents participated. No differences were found by sex or stage of adolescence in the use of future-oriented coping or in its relationship with adjustment scores. The differences found were centered on the dispositional profile of future-oriented coping shown by the different subgroups. The dispositional profile of proactive coping was more complex in girls and in late adolescence. In contrast, the dispositional profile of preventive coping was more complex in boys, and the differences by stage of adolescence highlighted the different weight of the personality dimensions involved. These findings point to the importance of developing programs adapted according to sex and stage of adolescence to train adolescents in the use of future-oriented coping skills and to improve their mental health.

Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) (OMIM: 238600) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by a biallelic loss-of-function mutation in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) complex which includes LPL and its co-factors. Patients with FCS have severe hypertiglyceridemia (> 2000 mg/dL). We describe a 15-month-old boy with repeated pancreatitis episodes caused by severe hypertriglyceridemia. Genetic analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation in the LPL gene, i.e. c.626T>G; p.(Leu209*). The mutation, carried by both parents, has been classified as a type 4 mutation which is likely pathogenic. Treatment aims at decreasing hypertriglyceridaemia by a low-fat diet (< 20g/day) eventually supplemented with medium chain triglyceride (MCT) fat to ensure caloric intake. In 2019, volanesorsen was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as adjunct treatment for adult patients with genetically proven FCS and persisting episodes of pancreatitis despite the diet.

Published: September 2024

Background: NAFLD is thought to affect approximately one-fourth of the world’s population. Therefore, we evaluated the role of serum complement and immunoglobulins in the NAFLD pathogenesis.

Patients and methods: 200 participants were used in this study, divided into two groups; Group I: 100 NAFLD patients and Group II: 100 healthy volunteers. The diagnosis of NAFLD is based on non-invasive methods, following the EASL guideline 2022. IgG, IgM, IgA, C3, and C4 assays were performed on all participants.

Results: When the immunological profiles of patients with NAFLD and healthy controls were compared, it was found that the mean IgA in NAFLD patients was (4.20±5.07), whereas the mean IgA in healthy controls was (2.22±1.05) (P=0.000). Additionally, a significant increase in IgG was found in NAFLD patients (17.08±3.87) compared with healthy controls (11.59±3.34), with a P value of (p<0.001). complement C3 and complement C4 levels significantly increased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients (1.28± 0.61 and 0.40 ± 0.19, respectively), compared to healthy controls (0.90 ±0.27 and 0.30 ±0.12, respectively), with a significant P value (p<0.001 for each).

Conclusions: Elevated IgA, IgG, C3 and C4 exist in patients with NAFLD and could be associated with fatty liver development and progression of hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.
A case of atypical rectal tumor in a 55-years-old man?
Authors: Dandoy P , Poncin M , Loly J-P.
Published: September 2024

A 55-year-old patient consulted a gastroenterologist in January 2023 because of recent-onset urgent diarrhea, without rectal bleeding or hematochezia. The patient has a history of diffuse large cell lymphoma with lymph node, bone and suspected small bowel involvement on 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging, for which a differential diagnosis with a neuroendocrine tumor could not be formally made. He had no other medical or surgical history, and was a former smoker. Physical, digital rectal examinations and laboratory studies were unremarkable. A colonoscopy was performed and revealed a poly-poid soft formation of non-adenomatous appearance, measuring 30 mm x 30 mm.

A 70-year-old male was admitted with abdominal pain and jaundice. Past medical history was relevant for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Biological tests revealed leukocytosis (18.5 x 109/L), hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin of 4.9 mg/dL and direct bilirubin of 2.8 mg/dL) and elevated C reactive protein (13.64 mg/dL) and liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase of 562 UI/L, aspartate aminotransferase of 689 UI/L and alkaline phosphatase of 378 U/L). Abdominal CT showed a dilated biliary tree and no obstructive lesions. The patient started on antibiotics due to suspected acute cholangitis. A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was performed, showing a giant duodenal diverticulum (shown in Fig. 1) involving the distal segment of the common bile duct almost circumferentially, leading to its collapse and upstream dilatation of intra and extrahepatic bile ducts, without luminal stones or stenosis. Imaging findings were consistent with Lemmel syndrome (LS).
Continued PPI use and gastrointestinal evaluations after a negative pH study in patients with throat symptoms from possible extraesophageal GERD

Published: September 2024

Background: Recent guidelines have advocated for upfront pH testing in patients with isolated symptoms of extra-esophageal gastrointestinal reflux disease (EE-GERD) under the assumption that a negative pH study will prevent further gastrointestinal (GI) investigations, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, and reduce cost. We sought to evaluate if this actually occurs.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent 24-hour combined pH-impedance testing off PPI for suspected EE-GERD. A negative study was defined as DeMeester score <14.7.

Results: 59 patients were included (mean age 53.2; 50.8% women). Most (38, 64.4%) had a negative study. Findings of laryngopharyngoreflux on laryngoscopy did not predict pH results. Those with a negative study had the same number of followup GI appointments, repeat endoscopies, and repeat pH studies compared to those with a positive study (p=NS). While PPIs were more frequently stopped in those with a negative pH study, still 14 (36.8%) were continued on a PPI. At the end of the follow-up period (mean 43.6 months), 18 (47.4%) subjects with a negative pH study were still prescribed PPIs. Patients who were diagnosed with post-nasal drip or rhinits were significantly less likely to still be receiving a PPI (5.6% vs 35.0%, p=0.045).

Conclusions: Despite a negative pH study, a substantial number of patients with isolated EE-GERD symptoms are continued on a PPI and they undergo GI follow-up at the same rate as those with a positive study. These findings bring into question the recent recommendations for upfront pH testing in suspected EE-GERD and its reported cost savings.
The role of psychotherapeutic approaches in treatment of functional dyspepsia, systematic review, and meta-analysis
Authors: Zhang W , Shen Y , Hao J , Zhao J
Published: September 2024

Background: Functional dyspepsia is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that is often challenging to treat. Psychotherapeutic interventions have been proposed as an alternative or adjunctive approach to conventional treatments, but their efficacy remains unclear.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of functional dyspepsia.

Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted, from inception to March 2023, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of psychotherapeutic interventions on patients with functional dyspepsia. The primary outcome measures were gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, depression, and anxiety. Data were extracted and analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 software. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.

Results: Sixteen RCTs comprising 1550 patients with functional dyspepsia were included in the meta-analysis. The types of psychotherapeutic interventions used in the included studies were cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). The control groups were usual care, placebo, supportive therapy, or no treatment. The meta-analysis showed that psychotherapeutic interventions had a significant effect on reducing gastrointestinal symptoms,depression and anxiety in patients with functional dyspepsia. However, no significant improvement was observed in the quality-of-life scores of patients who received psychotherapeutic interventions compared to those in the control group.

Conclusion: Psychotherapeutic interventions, such as CBT, hypnotherapy, and MBSR, could be a useful adjunct to conventional treatments for functional dyspepsia, as they were found to significantly reduce gastrointestinal symptoms and anxiety in patients. However, further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects and generalizability of these interventions.
