Análisis de la adherencia al protocolo de vacunación BCG en recién nacidos: un estudio retrospectivo en el centro de salud Alalay, Cochabamba.
Authors: Lecoña Hilaya Claudia
Published: May 2024

Introducción: La vacunación temprana, especialmente con la vacuna BCG, es clave para prevenir la tuberculosis, crucial en áreas con alta incidencia. Se recomienda administrarla en los primeros días de vida, según la OMS. Estudios muestran que la vacuna es efectiva incluso en bebés prematuros. Analizar el momento óptimo para su aplicación es relevante, especialmente en lugares como el área del centro de salud Alalay, Cochabamba. Metodología: El estudio adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo descriptivo con diseño metodológico retrospectivo para evaluar el momento de la administración de la vacuna BCG en recién nacidos en el Centro de Salud Alalay de Cochabamba en 2021. La muestra incluyó 531 bebés vacunados, lo que garantizó análisis estadísticos representativos. Los datos se recopilaron del cuaderno de vacunación del programa PAI utilizando el software SOAPS, y el análisis se realizó con IBM SPSS Statistics para comprender la efectividad de la vacuna en función del tiempo de vacunación. Resultados: El estudio en el Centro de Salud Alalay, Cochabamba, encontró que la mayoría de los recién nacidos recibieron la vacuna BCG temprano, siguiendo recomendaciones internacionales. Específicamente, el 74,6 % (396 bebés) fueron vacunados en los primeros tres días, garantizando una inmunización rápida. Otros 122 bebés (23,0 %) fueron vacunados antes de un mes, y un pequeño grupo de 13 bebés (2,4 %) antes de su primer año. Discusión: Los resultados del estudio en el Centro de Salud Alalay resaltan la alta adherencia a las recomendaciones de la OMS para vacunar contra la tuberculosis dentro de los primeros 3 días. Aunque el 74,6 % cumple este plazo, el 23 % es vacunado antes del mes y un 2,4 % después del año, mostrando áreas de mejora en logística y educación. La administración temprana es crucial, según otros estudios, enfatizando la necesidad de políticas de salud sólidas y educación comunitaria para optimizar la vacunación temprana.
From Womb to Words: Unveiling the Changing Understanding of Hysteria
Authors: Teber Sena
Published: May 2024

In ancient periods, there was the tendency to label a woman as mad or hysteric if she behaved in a strange manner. The reason was that, since at those times women were considered to be inferior creatures, their bodies were thought to be degraded easily. Accordingly, in the medieval period, hysteria was linked to distress in the womb, which would affect the whole body easily. In that sense, in this period hysteria was only associated with women. Especially ancient Greeks believed that hysteria occurred due to not having enough sex or orgasms. Therefore, according to them the cure for this ailment was getting married and having a satisfying sexual life. However, in the dark Middle Ages, hysteria started to be related to witchcraft, rather than sexual dissatisfaction. It was still linked to women only, but this time they were believed to be possessed by the Devil if they showed any disturbances or symptoms of hysteria. With the developments in science and technology, the understanding of hysteria changed from being associated with unfulfilled sexual drives or spirit possession to being a result of having psychological scars due to mental traumas or repressions. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to reflect the changing understanding of hysteria through female characters from 20th century American drama.
Reimagining Feminism and Gender Relations in Saudi Arabia: A New Theoretical Framework
Authors: Almuthaybiri Adel Musaylih
Published: May 2024

This article seeks a deeper understanding of the issues Arab women face in the Arab world and their rights. It is set in a framework that considers the context of these rights and issues. Whilst women throughout the Arab world often share similar experiences, there is variation, and this article focuses mainly on the experience of Saudi women. Theoretical feminist and interdisciplinary approaches analyse and highlight diverse perspectives in seeking a more profound understanding of women's rights, roles, status, challenges, and achievements. They also expose the various feminist paradigms underlying the theoretical framework. The study emphasises the importance of recognising the unique experiences of Arab women, respecting cultural differences, and avoiding universalisation and homogenisation of gender. It highlights the value of integrating feminist and postcolonial theoretical perspectives to comprehend better the complexities surrounding Saudi women's study. It also emphasises the contextualisation of literary works within local environments to provide a deep understanding of women's evolving roles, rights, and status contributions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Ultimately, the study aims to bridge the academic gap between English and Arabic scholarship in the representation of Saudi women.
Figurativeness and Humour in Covid-19-Related Internet Memes
Authors: Cighir Anca Irina
Published: May 2024

When social dilemmas arise, people often turn to humour and pop culture to find answers. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic social networks flooded with internet memes. Internet memes are “a kind of modern folklore in which values are constructed through photoshopped images” (Shifman, 2014, p.14) and they often use figurative devices, being a genre of humour and creativity. The examination of internet memes can provide a way of understanding how people managed to cope with one of the most challenging crises of our times. This paper aims to analyse a series of COVID-19-related memes in order to show how the collectively lived experience of COVID-19 pandemic has been processed and perceived by social media users. To this end we collected and analysed internet memes created in 2020 with the aid of cinematography and whose captions are written in English. We also investigated factors that shaped people’s understandings of the memes. Our research focused on the analysis of the CONTAINER metaphor and orientational metaphors  and also investigated the cognitive base of humour, that is, the incongruity “or incompatibility or contrast inside or between conceptual frames of knowledge – either figurative or literal” (Kovecses, 2015, p.135).  In the current study we used both qualitative and quantitative methods which helped us interpret people’s perception of the metaphorical usage embedded in the Internet memes used in our research.  Our findings lead us to conclude that in most interpretations of the memes the visual mode had a greater impact on the receivers and led them to a correct interpretation of the metaphors embedded.

Published: May 2024

Luganda language teachers in Uganda have promoted the use of traditional language teaching strategies which are characterised by the CCR (copy, cram and reproduce) practice. Whereas language instruction has greatly shifted from traditional language teaching approaches to modern ones, this has not been the case with Luganda language teaching. Within the context of this background and with the aim of addressing this issue, we conducted a qualitative study, using a participatory action research approach to explore how Luganda teachers could use communicative strategies with the support of a variety of print media to facilitate Luganda teaching and learning for authentic learning. This paper presents an overview of how participants planned lessons using diverse print media to facilitate Luganda teaching and learning for authentic learning. Data was collected through participant observation and focus group discussions (reflective sessions). The findings emerging from this study indicated that the use of print media to facilitate Luganda language teaching led to enhanced learner participation and critical engagement.
Future Professionals: Student Satisfaction with the General Medicine Degree Curriculum at University of Prishtina
Authors: Beqaj Zhjeqi Valbona , Thaçi Diellza , Luta Jehona , Cruz Laura
Published: May 2024

Our objective is to assess the level of satisfaction of the students of the Faculty of Medicine majoring in General Medicine, in relation to the curriculum. For this study, a questionnaire with 25 questions with 5-point Likert scale answers was conducted. The face validity of the instrument was established through a focus group and expert review. No identifying information was included in the study, using implied consent. A total of 150 General Medicine students were involved in the research. Students are generally satisfied with the General Medicine program, the presentation, and implementation of the syllabus, criteria, and methods for assessment, engaging students actively, group work, developing theoretical competencies, and assistants supervising clinical practice. Students were less satisfied with the levels of training for workplaces, the inclusion of modern teaching methods, the empowerment of creativity in students, the inclusion of scientific research, and the provision of contemporary and adequate literature.  There were no significant differences in responses based on grade point average, but there were some differences based on gender. The study findings provide student input into important decisions at multiple levels of governance, starting within the faculty but with implications for broader national policy. As a critical indicator of quality, these student satisfaction measures provide administrators with a basis of evidence to conduct quality improvement, including implications for academic staff development, curricular reform, and future educational research studies.

University Entropy from the Teachers' Perspective Highlights Challenges in Terms of Structure, Communication, or Resource Management Efficiency. The study aims to determine teachers' perception of entropy in university institutional management. The methodology employed was quantitative, descriptive level, cross-sectional, and non-experimental in design. The population consisted of 300 teachers from various public universities in Lima who voluntarily participated. A key characteristic was that the universities had obtained institutional licensing. The entropy instrument has 2 dimensions: management and metamanagement, with 16 items using a dichotomous scale. It was validated by experts and subjected to a pilot test for reliability, obtaining a KR20 of 0.87. The study results revealed that entropy associated with the licensing process is perceived at high and medium levels, reflecting the persistence of fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and controversy regarding potential loss of autonomy. This autonomy is considered crucial in the university setting as it contributes to the development of critical thinking and professional formation of students. It is concluded that there is an urgent need to adopt a more holistic and reflective approach to address the challenges facing the education system in its constant pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement. This implies avoiding the influence of political control and management in the academic sphere, thus allowing for a more conducive environment for the overall growth and development of higher education.

Transitional Justice in Albania: The Politics of Truth Revelation about Past Human Violations Through Access to The Secret Files and Preservation of the Collective Memory
Authors: Abdurrahmani Bledar , Abdurrahmani Tidita
Published: May 2024

During 45 years of dictatorship in Albania, many people were accused, convicted imprisoned, exiled, or persecuted for “offenses” of a political nature thereby violating basic human rights. Victims of violence, their descendants, and society as a whole have a legal right, even a moral one, to learn the truth regarding past human violations. International law, through its mechanisms, has made a valuable contribution, not only through shaping the instruments that contribute to the unveiling of the truth about communist crimes but also through fostering progress in the respective jurisdictions. Within the scope of the state's responsibilities in unveiling the truth about communist crimes, Albania has built its model through the adaptation of a series of legal and institutional measures. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Albanian model of truth revelation, focusing especially on the politics of preservation of the archives providing access to them, and protecting historical collective memory. The study supports the hypothesis that transitional justice remains an open process because the relevant mechanisms created to make justice and reveal the truth about the bitter past have produced incomplete and insufficient results. The paper also argues that during these 33 years of democratic developments in Albania, the legal system of information on secret service files has been only recently properly contoured and the challenge remains its implementation in practice, meanwhile, the collective memory as a form of justice for the communist crimes in Albania has not yet served its basic mission.

In the current environment of higher education, universities face the challenge of fostering resilience in graduate students, a crucial element for their academic success and personal development. This study focuses on analyzing the factors that contribute to resilience in graduate students at the State University of Milagro (UNEMI). A mixed-methodological approach was used, integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses of data collected through questionnaires applied to students from three different master's programs. The research, exploratory and descriptive in nature, adopted a non-experimental and cross-sectional design, which allowed for data collection at a specific point in time, without altering variables. The sample consisted of 733 students, utilizing a detailed questionnaire and qualitative analyses for in-depth interpretation. The electronic distribution of the questionnaires facilitated broad participation. The results, structured into seven subscales, revealed significant variations in student experiences across different disciplines. These differences underline the need for educational policies tailored to the specific characteristics of each field of study. Subtle but important differences in the perception of resilience and well-being between genders were observed, highlighting the importance of more inclusive educational approaches. Factorial analysis provided a detailed view of how various factors impact aspects such as health, well-being, motivation, and student satisfaction. It is concluded that this holistic approach is key to understanding the complexity of the university experience and developing educational strategies that promote comprehensive and enriching learning.

A Contrastive Study of Resultative Constructions in Albanian and Other Languages
Authors: Kurani Aida , Trifoni Anisa
Published: May 2024

In the last two or three decades, linguists have paid great attention to certain ways and means of expressing result, especially in English and other Germanic languages, but also in Neo-Latin and Slavic languages, as well as in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and the like. As Zhang (2009) notes, resultative constructions have a prominent place in contemporary linguistic studies, because they shed light on the nature of relationship between semantics and syntax. They have been examined not only based on the syntactic composition, but also on the structure of argument and lexical semantics. Formal analysis instruments, as well as functional and cognitive ones have been already used. However, the last word has not yet been said, since there are many other languages where the concept of result and the elements used to express it have not been examined deeply enough. This is especially true for languages spoken outside the Eurasian continent, but also for languages within this area, including Albanian. The following study is focused on different syntactic patterns by which the concept of result is codified in several languages belonging to different families, with the belief that this analysis will help to determine the position of Albanian language amidst these languages concerning resultative constructions in general.

Published: May 2024

On the basis of a state there is a complex society. But the society to be able to last, maintain itself and establish itself as peaceful, it is necessary that there are rights, guarantees and their respect to support it. In particular in our case, civil rights must be the basis of a just and equitable society. For this reason, state, society and rights create an inseparable bond. Social rights are not static but alive, and during human history they have undergone a real metamorphosis. This is because they need to adapt to the evolving context of the rule of law and the welfare state. They need to adapt to economic, cultural, political, technological and environmental transformations. Throughout history, social rights have been progressively recognized and guaranteed to promote well-being and social justice. However, despite their deep roots in human history, social rights are not included in the catalogue of human rights. Hence a strict needs to ensure social rights not only within the constitutional charters of national systems, but above all within the legal framework of the European Union. What is proposed is precisely an analysis of the European panorama in terms of civil rights. A path that exclusively crosses the twenty principles contained in the European Pillar of Civil Rights.

Published: May 2024

The increase in the competitiveness of subjects in the field of Albanian education, the construction of university ranking systems and the continuous flow of students because of demographic indicators have made it necessary to introduce the elements of university 4.0 in higher education institutions. For this, it is indispensable not only to change the teaching and learning process, because this is always necessary, but above all, the transformation and modernization of the digital material base, the widest possible use of digital platforms, digital classrooms, digital laboratories, and many other elements are required. In this paper we try to identify and analyze the elements of University 4.0 in Albania. The results of a research that includes a representative sample of more than 40% of accredited Albanian PU (Private Universities) until 2022 are presented at the end of the paper. They are interviewed to document their perception of the University 4.0 elements in their institutions. After this, with a structured survey according to the relevant areas of digitization identified in the EU “Next generation” program for education, indicators were built that evidence the elements of university 4.0. in these same institutions. The presented data allow us to offer some initial reflections on the scale of the digital transition of Albanian Universities and the acceleration of this process in the field of education and secondary education.

Published: May 2024

PRISMA Framework in this case is indispensable as it has globally been accepted as a model to undertake a systematic literature review. Microsoft Excel Sheet was applied in analysing the results for presentation in bar and pie charts for effective unleashing of included studies. The included studies totalled 31 after the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Analysis revealed that most of the disaster resilience literature published is geared towards spatial planning followed by flood risk resilience. Also, most of these case studies were found in Europe. However, none of these 31 studies was the same as the chosen topic. Meta-analysis was done through the application of the PRISMA framework. Most of the included studies were case studies from Europe which implies that they have benefited from disaster resilience literature whereas continents like Africa and New Zealand have not benefitted so much from publications. This is an opportunity for scholars to embark on more research on the chosen topic. A limited number was included and generalization on the outcome of this literature review must be accompanied by the assumption that: apply the study topic based on a geographic case study to avoid duplication. The analysis of the results from the 31 studies implies that none of the published studies have written on this research topic and scholars should explore it to reduce disaster occurrence as climate change looms high.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Learning experiences of pre-school years influence the rest of one’s life. This early period in development provides a foundation that guides children academically, socially and emotionally. Various studies from around the world highlighted the importance of pre-school education and enumerated that investment in high quality of pre-school education has the highest dividend in terms of human resource development. Adequate preparation at this stage helps the children to retain in the primary school. Kaul, Venita and et al (1992) in a study on ‘Impact of ECE on retention of Primary grades’ had observed that children with ECE experience were found to have a better retention rate in comparison to children who had direct entry in the schools.

The pre-schoolars are identified as worse victim of Covid-19 pandemic. UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore observed that disruption in education caused by Covid-19 pandemic has affected the foundation upon which every aspect of children's development relies. The researcher has therefore made an effort to critically analyze the effect of Covid-19 on school preparedness of pre-school learners taking perception of teachers and parents of schools and Anganwadi centres in Kamrup district, Assam into account.

The present descriptive study reveals that there is a significant effect of Covid-19 pandemic on school preparedness of pre-school children starting from motor, cognitive to social development. Thus, need of hour is to look at pre-school education from new normal and in the tune of recommendations of New Education Policy,2020 to address this emergent issue.

Published: May 2024

The value system of a woman or mother is passed down to her children or siblings, which influences the child's personality. As a result, a study on changing values among women is deemed vital in the current scenario. Women belonging to different ethnic communities of Manipur are employed in the colleges of different districts of the state. Women of all the communities are exposed to similar and dissimilar social situations. The current study focuses on how women in the profession influence in changing social value system and vice versa, specifically in Imphal East and West Districts of Manipur. It has led to sociocultural, psychological, and political- economic changes in women’s life patterns, values, and attitudes, particularly among occupations and professions. The socioeconomic emancipation of women has been both a product of and an instrument of the changes in their values towards various concerns of life, which has, in turn, influenced their behavior patterns in various spheres of life. This, together with newly gained political legal privileges, is likely to impact their sentiments, beliefs, and perspectives on life’s most important concerns.

Authors: - S.U.Salma , - P. Akhila , - P. Ruchitha , - S. Pushpa sree , - Dr. V. Jaya Sankar Reddy , - Dr. K.T.Naik
Published: May 2024

The virus that causes COVID-19 is called SARS-CoV-2, and it has an Omicron variant. It is the most recent COVID-19 version. This variety, known as omicron, was initially reported to the WHO on November 24, 2021, from South Africa. The WHO's Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution (TAG-VE) identified PANGO lineage B.1.1.529. with the Greek letter omicron and declared it a variety of concern on November 261. Omicron possesses multiple mutations that could affect its behaviour, including the degree of disease severity and its transmissibility1. Omicron is thought to be more contagious than its predecessors, spreading around 70 times as quickly18. The omicron variety is found in numerous nations worldwide2. Omicron will therefore not be a final variant, but it may be the final Variant Of Concern (VOC) 8. Numerous spike protein mutations linked to enhanced infectivity and antibody evasion are also present in other variations of concern. According to computational modelling, the variation might also be able to evade cell-mediated immunity23. By sufficiently changing its chemical structure to avoid identification by the immune system, SARS-CoV-2 can evade the immune system8.
Welfare. Well, Fair?
Authors: - GEETANJALI DHALIA
Published: May 2024

The split judgement of Aishat Shifa v. State of Karnataka reduced the issue to the question
of determining whether or not donning the hijab is an essential religious practice in order to
establish the validity of the Government Order (G.O.)that caused the uproar. However, the courts failed to address how the G.O. stands in
the path of Constitutional principles of Welfare State. Furthermore, the provision of clothes donned to be such that the equality, unity and public order is not violated fails to acknowledge that by restricting the freedom to wear hijab, the principles of equality, unity and public order found themselves to be more unguarded than before. Through the G.O., access to Education has been reduced to a mere barter of rights. This barter however fails to acknowledge that by trading access to education against an allegedly uniform G.O., patriarchal ideas are reinforced and women are again left stranded at the crossroads of law and society. This doctrinal study shall help evaluate how the G.O. has the effect of corroding the base of
welfare state, a nation envisioned by the Constitution Makers. A socio-legal exploration shall help aim legal realism by evaluating the outcome of G.O. as a threat to the unity and integrity of India in order to facilitate better and informed decision making by the custodians of the law. A feminist analysis shall reveal the nuanced patriarchal effect of the G.O. furthering the sabotage of welfare state. The paper adopts a case-study based approach with regard to the Karnataka Hijab Row that sparked protests and controversy. The Supreme Court delivered a spilt judgement, leaving pertinent questions unanswered and reducing the issue to that of merely determining whether wearing the hijab is an essential religious practice or not. Thus, painting the issue as a religious monochrome.
The G.O. has the effect of curtailing diversity by imposing uniformity thus, making the society intolerant and threatening social harmony. A great blow is felt to the access to education. The scope of the paper is to delve beyond religious rights and locating the G.O. as a State act that blurs the road to welfare state that our Constitution Makers envisioned.

Authors: - Yashi Agarwal , - Shivali Sharma , - Namita Srivastava
Published: May 2024

This study explores the difference in the levels of empathy and psychological well-being between psychology and non-psychology students pursuing their postgraduation to assess the impact of academic specialization on the above-mentioned traits. The sample comprised psychology students from different universities in India (N=50) as well as students pursuing non-psychology fields enrolled in different universities/colleges in India (N=50). Empathy was measured using the Empathy Assessment Scale (Malakcioğlu, C., 2022) and Psychological Well-Being was measured using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale- Short Form (Ryff et al., 2007; adapted from Ryff, 1989). The findings rejected the hypotheses that psychology students will have higher levels of empathy and psychological well-being than non-psychology students. Regardless of the academic specializations, the levels of empathy as well as psychological well-being are the same and show no significant difference. These results cast doubt on widely held beliefs on how academic discipline affects psychological health and empathy. The study emphasizes how crucial it is to take into account contextual impacts, cultural variances, and individual differences to fully comprehend these phenomena. It also emphasizes the necessity of customized support networks and interventions considering the requirements of postgraduate students in all academic fields.
