Fungsi dan perannya dalam rangka pencapaian tujuan pendidikan nasional, pendidikan kewarganegaraan dirancang, dikembangkan, dilaksanakan dan dievaluasi dalam rangka perwujudan tujuan pendidikan nasional. Pendidikan kewarganegaraan merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran yang menjadi andalan dalam pengembangan karakter siswa. Membangun karakter bangsa melalui pendidikan kewarganegaraan merupakan suatu keharusan karena pendidikan menjadikan peserta didik cerdas dan berakhlak mulia sehingga keberadaannya di masyarakat menjadi bermakna. Oleh karena itu, melalui Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan, peserta didik dapat membangun kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang baik, moral dan etika sehingga dapat dipahami, dihayati dan mampu secara konsisten diamalkan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara. Namun pada kenyataannya mata pelajaran PKn belum cukup berhasil menjalankan peran tersebut dengan baik karena pembelajaran PKn hanya berorientasi pada prestasi kognitif. Sebaliknya, pencapaian afektif atau sikap cenderung diabaikan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan modifikasi pembelajaran PKn dengan mengintegrasikan konsep pendidikan karakter dalam kegiatan pembelajaran agar lebih berperan dalam mengembangkan karakter siswa.

Translating Postmodern Picturebooks: The Incredible Book Eating Boy in Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese
Authors: Chang Cheng-Ting
Published: May 2023

Metafiction emphasises a text’s fictionality by drawing the reader’s attention to how texts create meaning through numerous textual devices. This paper examines translations of the postmodern picturebook The Incredible Book Eating Boy (2006) by Oliver Jeffers. It compares the original English text to its Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese translations across verbal translation, visual and verbal-visual interactions, specifically focusing on metafictive devices. Using Gideon Toury’s model for descriptive translation analysis indicates that socio-cultural contexts influence preliminary norms and are closely related to operational norms applied by both translators and publishing houses.
Translation of Visual Phraseological Units in Pilkey’s Dog Man
Authors: Tosina Fernández Luis J.
Published: May 2023

The use of visual phraseological units in graphic literature is a common occurrence that has not received much attention from the scholarly community, having nonetheless been analysed in advertising and journalism. This lack of interest has been caused, at least partially, by the low esteem that academia has for this genre, which has undergone great development over the last few decades, growing both in complexity and in popularity among the reading public. Furthermore, this type of literature provides unmatched creative opportunities for authors and artists to explore different resources for multimodal communication, which also impacts the labour of translators and how the work, either in its original version or as a translation, is understood by readers. This article explores the use of visual phraseologisms in the series of children’s graphic novels Dog Man to determine how visual phraseological units are used in the various volumes and to analyse how this practice affects the translation of a genre, including the added difficulty for translators of having to preserve the connection between text and picture as intended by the author.

Authors: Guan Xu-Min , Shi Hong-Po , Xu Shuang , Chen Yue , Zhang Rong-Feng , Dong Ying-Xue , Gao Lian-Jun , Wu Shou-Ling , Xia Yun-Long
Published: May 2023

Background

The relationship between cumulative non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) burden and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains unclear

Objective

To prospectively examine the association between cumulative non-HDL-C burden and ASCVD risk in the Kailuan cohort of China.

Methods

A total of 49,679 subjects who were free of ASCVD participated in three consecutive examinations in 2006, 2008 and 2010 were enrolled. Duration and concentration of cumulative exposure to non-HDL-C (cumNon-HDL-C) were respectively used to estimate the extent of cumulative non-HDL-C burden. The participants were divided into four groups according to durations of cumNon-HDL-C (0, 2, 4 and 6 years) and five groups according to the quintiles of cumNon-HDL-C concentration (<10.93, 10.93–12.68, 12.69–14.32, 14.33–16.72 and ≥16.73 mmol/L). Cox regression models were used to analyze the influence of cumulative non-HDL-C burden on ASCVD risk.

Results

We identified 1,134 incident ASCVD cases during a mean of 4.89 years of follow-up. Multivariable adjusted analysis revealed that compared with no exposure, cumNon-HDL-C duration 2, 4 and 6 years increased ASCVD risk by 26% (HR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.07–1.47), 56% (HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.31–1.86) and 91% (HR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.59–2.31) respectively; The hazard ratios (HRs) for the fourth and fifth versus lowest quintile of cumNon-HDL-C concentration were 1.25 and 1.72 for ASCVD. Each standard deviation increment in cumNon-HDL-C concentration was associated with a 10% increased risk of ASCVD.

Conclusion

Long-term and higher cumNon-HDL-C were all significantly associated with an increased risk of ASCVD independent of single non-HDL-C level.
Preemptive parasternal intercostal nerve block for patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial
Authors: Zou Mengmeng , Ruan Wei , Liu Jintao , Xu Junmei
Published: May 2023

Background

Parasternal intercostal nerve block has been increasingly used for postoperative analgesia and has shown that this technique can provide effective postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to investigate the effect of preemptive parasternal intercostal nerve block on the opioid and vasoactive drug dose required for intraoperative hemodynamic stability and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods

In this prospective, randomized controlled study, 64 participants aged 45–75 years scheduled for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting at The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Patients were randomized into two groups and preoperatively administered ropivacaine (group R) and saline (group S), in the parasternal intercostal spaces with ultrasound-guided bilateral nerve block.

Results

The primary outcome was intraoperative sufentanil and vasopressor dosage. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative pain scores, and anesthesia recovery, postoperative use of rescue dezocine, stay in intensive care unit, and length of hospital stay. The consumption of intraoperative sufentanil and vasopressor was significantly lower in group R than in group S. The visual analog score in group R was significantly lower than that in group S up to 12 h postoperatively. The time to anesthesia recovery was significantly less in group R than in group S. Most patients in group S required rescue dezocine, whereas most patients in group R did not. The hemodynamic variables were stable in all patients.

Conclusions

A preemptive parasternal intercostal nerve block effectively reduced the required intraoperative sufentanil and norepinephrine dose and provided adequate analgesia for the first 12 h after surgery. Therefore, a preemptive parasternal intercostal nerve block is a good option for patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

The SO2 flux from the volcano is one of the most important measures to understand its activity. Mount Tokachi, in Japan, is an active volcano that experienced three magmatic explosive eruptions in the 20th century (in 1926, 1962, and 1988–1989). Since 2006, geodetic observations have captured ground deformation, suggesting an inflation beneath the main crater. Moreover, since 2020 daily visual observations have detected the increase in plume heights and the occurrence of volcanic glow at the main crater. The high-time-resolution estimation of SO2 flux will help monitor the activity of Mount Tokachi and clarify the associating mechanisms. Furthermore, satellite remote sensing can estimate the vertical column density (VCD) of sulfur dioxide (SO2), enabling the daily determination of SO2 flux without the need to visit the site. Due to the improved spatial resolution, the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) has advanced satellite-based volcanic gas flux measurements.

Methods: We have analyzed the available TROPOMI data and conducted ground-based observations to estimate the SO2 flux from Mount Tokachi at 100–2,000 tons/day.

Result and Discussion: The average annual SO2 flux has been increasing since 2021, on par with the increase in plume height and volcanic glow. TROPOMI data enabled quantification of the annual SO2 flux, with a sufficient temporal resolution to monitor the volcanic activity at Mount Tokachi. However, a high flux, such as in excess of 2,000 tons/day, was observed in the winter season. The flux from the satellite data was similar to that from ground-based observations during the summer. However, a seasonal change in flux from the satellite data was observed in winter, with the flux being larger than that in summer, possibly because the flux increases during winter. Another possible reason is the influence of snow cover on satellite observations due to its high surface reflectance. We reanalyzed some TROPOMI data during the winter, in which the ground snow cover was misidentified as clouds at low altitudes. This procedure suppresses the error caused by the high surface reflectance due to winter snow coverage and improves the quality of the annual SO2 flux from satellite observations. This methodology is applicable to other high-latitude or high-altitude volcanoes during specific seasons characterized by frequent fluctuations in snow cover conditions.

Introduction

Children and youth on the autism spectrum and their families use health and educational services to address their complex needs. They use primary health care services in the medical home, as endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). They can also use educational services for their cognitive, social, and adaptive skill development, beginning in early intervention and through their transition to postsecondary or vocational roles. Medical and educational services are organized and delivered in separate systems, thereby placing the primary responsibility for coordinating these services on their families.

Methods

Pooled data from 2016 through 2019 National Survey of Children's Health were used to measure the association between current educational service use and six medical home primary care components, controlling for select sociodemographic and clinical factors in children and youth on the autism spectrum (n = 1,922).

Results

After controlling for select sociodemographic and clinical factors, difficulty getting referrals [aOR = 2.93, 95% CI (1.33, 6.41), P = 0.007] and no shared decision-making in the medical home [aOR = 2.93, 95% CI (1.21, 7.06), P = 0.016] resulted in higher likelihood of current educational service use. Older children had a lower likelihood of current educational service use [aOR = 0.91, 95% CI (0.85, 0.97), P = 0.003], whereas higher autism severity increased the likelihood of current educational service use [aOR = 1.80, 95% CI (1.10, 2.95), P = 0.019].

Conclusion

Children and youth on the autism spectrum, especially those with moderate or severe autism, had a higher likelihood of education service use, unless they were older, had difficulty getting referrals, and no shared decision-making. Results suggest that the way services are currently provided between health and educational systems separates medical and educational professionals, therefore increasing the demands on caregivers and educational systems to facilitate current educational service use. Further study is needed for improving the medical home referral or shared decision-making pathways and to identify caregiver strategies for navigating educational systems.

Introduction

Connecting academic disciplines and integrating knowledge is gaining popularity in elementary school. The relevant question is, how the targeted integration could be achieved? This research aimed to (a) evaluate the potential of teaching and learning Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) and Statistical Physics (ST) general concepts through embodied experiences in elementary school and, based on it (b) enable a far transfer analogical reasoning within and between different academic subjects.

Methods

Forty-eight elementary school students, aged 10.2 ± 0.82 y.o., followed an 8-week, 2-h/week intervention. The learning protocol contained a concreteness fading sequence of phases and consisted of four steps: (a) embodied experience, (b) reflective observation, (c) abstract conceptualization of DST/ST concepts, and (d) transfer of the DST/SP concepts to physical, sociological, biological and ecological phenomena. A validated questionnaire and an interview evaluated students’ knowledge and analogical reasoning.

Results

The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed a general positive effect of the intervention on the understanding of DSP/SP concepts and on the far transfer competencies of students (Z = −5.98; p < 0.0001). There was no association between the previous and newly acquired competencies (Spearman’s ρ = 0.112; p = 0.441).

Discusion

The qualitative results showed that, in general, the suggested embodied learning protocol supports the acquisition of DST/SP general concepts and the far transfer competencies. However, students of this age are possibly highly sensitive to the balance of the focus between the embodied phases and the conceptualization/transfer phases of the learning protocol. The study points to the potential of learning the general DST/SP for elementary school students’ integrative and far transfer competencies. The DST/SP concept-based transdisciplinary embodied education may offer a truly integrative approach to STEAM teaching.

Early childhood special educators in the United States must familiarize themselves with the importance of inclusive practices and how to successfully implement these practices to support young students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Depending on the credentialing program special educators in the United States complete, their understanding and training in inclusive education can vary greatly. The purpose of this study was to address the need for training in inclusion by creating an Office of Special Education Program (OSEP) grant-funded inclusive education course for preservice early childhood special educators at one university in California and then to examine how the inclusion course changed early childhood special education teacher candidates’ knowledge and beliefs of inclusion. Over 4 years, 97 early childhood special education preservice teachers participated in pre- and postcourse surveys, which determined their perceptions, understanding, and practical skills of inclusive education increased, demonstrating course effectiveness.

Background

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) often coincides with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT); whether this association is incidental or causal remains debated.

Objective

To evaluate the ultrasonographic, laboratory, and histopathological features of PTC in paediatric patients with and without AIT and its relationship to puberty.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Patients and methods

A retrospective analysis of medical records of 90 patients (69; 76.7% females). The mean age at PTC diagnosis was 13.8 years [range 6-18]. All patients were evaluated ultrasonographically before thyroid surgery. Thyroid nodules were categorised using the European Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (EU-TIRADS PL), and cytopathology was assessed using Bethesda criteria. Neck ultrasound results and thyroid and autoimmune status were correlated with histopathological PTC assessment.

Results

The coexistence of PTC and AIT was found in 48.9% (44/90) of patients. The percentage of AIT was increasing with age; AIT was present only in 1/3 of prepubertal, close to 50% in pubertal, and over 60% in adolescent patients. The youngest patients (aged <10 years old) presented more often with goitre and lymphadenopathy and less often with AIT than adolescents (15-18 years of age). There were no differences in TPOAb, TgAb, and TSH levels between the age subgroups. Presurgical TgAb levels were higher than those of TPOAb in the youngest patients. Histopathological analysis revealed that the solid subtype was observed more often in prepubertal children and diffuse sclerosing in children below 14 years of age, whereas the classic subtype dominated in late pubertal. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that lymph nodes metastases (LNM) were associated with PTC diameter and fT4 level, whereas extrathyroidal extension with age and angioinvasion with PTC diameter and age. The correlations between age and fibrosis, and the presence of psammoma bodies in malignant tissues were close to significant. We did not observe an association between TSH levels and the presence of autoimmunity and PTC variables.

Conclusions

In paediatric patients the natural course of PTC may be less aggressive in adolescent patients than in younger children (especially < 10 years of age). We suggest that pre-operative evaluation of paediatric patients with thyroid nodules could include apart from assessment of thyroid hormones, evaluation of TPOAb, TgAb, and TRAb together with comprehensive neck ultrasonography.
