Folk-classic continuum: Gender and liminality in Purulia Chhau
Authors: Choudhury Sneha Roy
Published: November 2023

This article attempts to raise the argument that performative Indigenous performance practices, which are not part of the ‘great’ tradition and have been valorized for articulating an authentic Indigenous voice, have not opened up to the accommodation of the ‘woman’s space’ within it. Using the data collected through interviews in rural Purulia, the article focuses on Chhau as a tradition of performance embedded in the folk-classic continuum and yet remains rooted in a characteristic inclination towards the classical over the folk. This is traceable in its historical development as a form and in its presentation of a classical content, primarily Hindu mythology. Foregrounding the fact that Chhau has essentially been categorized as a male dance form even though women are involved in most of the unrecognized labour that goes into the final presentation of the masked spectacle on the stage, it is clear that an attempt is yet to be made to account for the lack of allowance of the woman’s voice in the structure and content of the performative tradition. The result is an articulation of the tribal woman’s voice, herself doubly marginalized, in a performative tradition rooted in a liminal space, on the borders of the classic and the folk.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLATION AND CONSUMER CREDITS: FINDINGS OF THE ASYMMETRIC CASUALITY TEST FOR TÜRKİYE
Authors: SEZAL Levent , ŞERBETÇİ Ahmet
Published: November 2023

Inflation, which is defined as the continuous increase in the general level of prices, is one of the important factors that hinder the economic and social development of a country. On the one hand, inflation affects the amount of bank loans, on the other hand, bank loans can cause inflation. From this point of view, in this study, it is aimed to investigate the causality relationship between inflation and consumer loans for the period 2005/12-2023/06 in Türkiye. “Whether or not there is causality between the variables, and if there is a causal relationship, the directions were analyzed using the "Toda-Yamamoto" method. According to the results of the Toda-Yamamoto causality test, a causal relationship was found between inflation and housing and vehicle loans at the 5% significance level.” On the other hand, no mutual causality relationship was detected between the variables of inflation and consumer loans.
Violence, responsibility and best interests: children rights in Elizabeth Harrower’s A Few Days in the Country and Other Stories
Authors: Fang Fan , Yu Xinpei , Kong Yuan
Published: November 2023

In her short story collection of A Few Days in the Country and Other Stories (2015), contemporary Australian novelist Elizabeth Harrower skillfully portrays a cohort of children who have come of age in diverse fractured family settings since the 1960s. This article delves into the realm of child welfare and best interests in Australia, elucidating the intricate web of family laws that govern these principles. It casts a revealing light on the myriad challenges children confront in contexts marked by family violence, parental separation, and child custody and adoption. This analysis exposes the unfortunate reality where children’s rights are frequently subverted by guardians, effectively preventing their meaningful involvement in familial decision-making. In instances of family violence, children are relegated to the role of silent victims, rendered voiceless by their inability to resist. During divorce proceedings, children are relegated to the sidelines, unable to actively participate in the decision-making process, resulting in the neglect or outright harm of their best interests. Children who find themselves in foster care or adoption situations often respond with unprecedented rebellion, asserting their independence and self-determination beneath the facade of silent victimhood. Tragically, their fundamental rights consistently remain inadequately protected. By undertaking a critical examination of the dynamic between adults and children within the framework of family law and by juxtaposing it with the contemporary portrayal of marginalized children in Australia, as exemplified in Harrower’s works, this article offers multifaceted insights that can guide efforts to safeguard children’s rights and enhance the development and implementation of legislation pertaining to children.
Adapting Lutheran Preaching: The Postil of Danish Reformer Hans Tausen (1539)
Authors: Dreyer Rasmus H. C.
Published: November 2023

The Danish reformer Hans Tausen has been characterized as a “Danish Luther” in both Danish and foreign-language church historiography. Recent scholarship, however, has challenged this characterization, interpreting Tausen instead as an urban, humanistic reformer who transmitted a kind of Zwinglian theology. The present article sheds light on Hans Tausen’s 1539 Postil, which has so far been neglected in international research on early modern postils. The drafting of Tausen’s Postil is closely connected with the new legislation for the Danish Lutheran Church presented in the Danish Church Ordinance of 1537–1539. Twentieth-century Danish research has indicated that the Postil was either an original work by Tausen or a precise adaptation of Luther’s own sermons. Previous research overlooked the way in which Tausen worked with several models and templates as inspiration for his postil, the most influential being the postils of Stephan Roth. The Tausen-Postil reflects Tausen’s ability to respond to the changing tides in favour of Wittenbergian theology in Denmark from the mid-1530s. As such, it serves as evidence for the transfer of contemporary Lutheranism from Germany to Scandinavia.

Effect of PVA fibers on durability of nano-SiO2-reinforced cement-based composites subjected to wet-thermal and chloride salt-coupled environment
Authors: Su Jia , Zhang Peng , Guo Jinjun , Zheng Yuanxun
Published: November 2023

Marine engineering structures are often faced with complex environmental factors. It is the focus of current research to modify cement-based composites (CBCs) to achieve their high durability in complex environments such as seawater. In this study, the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers on durability of nano-SiO2 (NS)-reinforced cement-based composites was investigated by simulating seawater environment and taking PVA fiber content as variable. In addition, based on the Weibull probability distribution model, the damage degree of NS and PVA fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (NFRCCs) subjected to wet-thermal and chloride salt-coupled environment (WTCSE) after 300 freeze–thawing cycles (FTCs) was predicted. The test results demonstrated that the NFRCC exhibited the most excellent durability subjected to WTCSE when the content of PVA fibers was 1.2%. Compared with the reference group only doped with NS subjected to WTCSE, its impermeability pressure increased by 150%, the chloride ion electric flux decreased by 31.71%, the compressive strength loss rate decreased by 19.00% after 125 FTC, and the compressive strength corrosion resistance coefficient of chloride salt erosion increased by 9.15% after 25 wetting–drying cycles. The predicted results of the Weibull probability distribution model indicated that the damage degree of NFRCC subjected to WTCSE after 300 FTC would not exceed 0.35. The microscopic test analysis showed that the incorporation of PVA fibers reduced the proportion of large pores and the overall porosity of NFRCC subjected to WTCSE. PVA fibers bridged microcracks while adsorbing NS and its hydration products, thus enhancing the adhesion of the substrate. This study provides a reference for the research of high-performance CBC in complex environment.
Sorption behaviour of 137Cs and 152+154Eu onto bentonite phosphate modified with nickel: kinetics, isotherms, and chromatographic column application
Authors: Abass Mohamed R. , Mahrous Sara S. , Mansy Muhammad S.
Published: November 2023

Using batch and column procedures, the present work investigated the sorption behaviour of 137Cs and 152+154Eu by bentonite phosphate modified with nickel (BPN) sorbent. The kinetic data obey pseudo-1st-order for 137Cs and follow pseudo-2nd-order for 152+154Eu. Various sorption isotherm models were used to analyze equilibrium data. The thermodynamic functions reflect an endothermic and spontaneous sorption process. HCl (about 95.35 %) and CaCl2 (about 98.13 %) showed the optimum eluents for the complete recovery of both 137Cs and 152+154Eu, respectively. Finally, column data show that 137Cs and 152+154Eu may be loaded on BNP sorbent and separated from an aqueous solution using a variety of HCl concentrations as eluent. The obtianed results revealed that BNP sorbent is suitable for recovering 137Cs and 152+154Eu from low-level radioactive waste effluents (LLW).

Published: November 2023

The growing demand for electricity, increasing rising fossil fuel prices and global warming in Brazil, together with the lack of access to electricity on the part of the population in certain locations in the Northern Region, such as, for example, Rondônia, Pará and Amazonas, is currently seeking for solutions. The objective of the present study is to carry out a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the inclusion of a project of a floating nuclear power plants (FNPP) in Brazil with a view to solving the lack of electricity in homes and in industries located in remote regions of Brazil. Study results identified several socioeconomic and environmental impacts on this regions. The study concludes that in addition to contributing to the solution of the lack of energy in remote regions, the implementation of this proposal could represent in the future a source of inflow of financial resources in the country and of international collaboration. This SWOT study will encourage investors, researchers, engineers and decision makers to open the debate about the benefit of using a FNPP in Brazil, which in addition to providing economic energy rates for the population, would be a profitable business and an international collaboration.
“Fitting the Pieces Together”: The Experiences of Caregivers of Children With Medical Complexity
Authors: Hirt Elise , Wright Alyssa , Kehring Allysa , Wang Yinuo , Toraño Vanessa , Boles Jessika
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Families of children with medical complexity manage a multitude of care responsibilities that must be carefully coordinated alongside typical family roles and activities. Currently, little is known about this experience from the perspectives of caregivers; therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the experience of caregiving for a child with medical complexity while identifying unmet medical and psychosocial needs.

METHODS

Nineteen caregivers were recruited from the pediatric complex care clinic at an academic medical center in the United States. Each participant completed an in-depth, narrative interview that was audio-recorded and transcribed; transcripts were analyzed using an inductive coding approach.

RESULTS

Participants described their caregiving experiences along 4 themes: (1) the many responsibilities of caregiving, (2) insufficient respite care and skilled support, (3) financial limitations and costs of care, and (4) challenges with mental health and wellbeing. Participants identified unmet needs in 6 dimensions: (1) transition stress, (2) communication across teams, (3) learning to be an advocate, (4) purposefully inclusive environments, (5) finding connections and community, and (6) the challenges of coronavirus disease 2019.

CONCLUSIONS

Caregivers of children with medical complexity identify a host of experiences and unmet needs that challenge the physical, emotional, and psychosocial wellbeing of themselves and their families. With more attention to the holistic experience of caregiving for this population, providers and teams can better anticipate needs and provide services and programs that enhance caregiver and family wellbeing simultaneously.
Erythropoietin inhibits neutrophil extracellular traps formation to ameliorate lung injury in a pneumonia model
Authors: Ye Sheng , Li Wei , Yang Jinghui , Xue Xiang , Chen Jiao , Zhao Wei , Jiang Lei , Jia Ling
Published: November 2023

Background: Severe pneumonia is a kind of disease that develops from lung inflammation, and new drugs are still required to treat the same. Erythropoietin (EPO) is widely used to treat anemia in patients. However, there are fewer studies on the role of EPO in neutrophil extracellular trappings (NETs) and pneumonia, and the mechanism is unclear.Objective: To investigate the possible effects of EPO on the formation of NETs and progression of pneumonia.Methods: Mice pneumonia model was induced by tracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and automatic blood cell analysis were performed in this model to confirm the effects of EPO on lung injury. Flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent serological assay, and immunostaining assay were conducted to detect theeffects of EPO on the inflammation as well as formation of NETs in mice. Immunoblot was further conducted to confirm the mechanism.Results: EPO alleviated LPS-induced lung injury. EPO reduced the release of inflammatory factors induced by LPS. In addition, EPO inhibited the formation of NETs. Mechanically, EPO inhibited tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor 2 (TRAF2)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activity in mouse models, and therefore suppressed the progression of pneumonia.

Undergraduate Agricultural Extension Qualifications in South Africa: Comparing Available Curricula to Desired Skills and Competencies
Authors: Von Maltitz L. , Van Niekerk J.A.
Published: November 2023

Globally, the need for the agricultural extension profession to change from a top-down, production-focused approach to a more participatory and holistic approach has been reiterated. Different stakeholders in South Africa have criticised the public sector service delivery efficiency. To enhance the standard of service, the South African government has specified that every person employed as an agricultural extension worker in the public sector should have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. The department has made much progress. Currently, 73% of all extension professionals in the public sector have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Despite this, the department still highlights training as inadequate regarding the profession's needs. A proficient agricultural extension sector is vital in assisting farmers in dealing with challenges and enhancing food security. This article examines the available undergraduate bachelor qualifications in agricultural extension in South Africa to determine their relevance in the competencies and skills required by the profession. The curriculum evaluation and improvement model is used as methodology, and coding is used as an analytical tool. The results show that available curricula are still excessively focused on technical subject matter and expertise, and there is an urgent need for updating curricula to be more relevant to the profession's needs.

Published: November 2023

Orthostatic headache is a hallmark symptom of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, SIH can manifest without headache, which can lead to a significant delay in treatment initiation. We hereby report a 70-year-old male with progressive gait disturbance and superficial siderosis. Magnetic resonance myelography showed an extensive extradural cerebrospinal fluid collection in the cervicothoracic spine. After a series of targeted epidural blood patch, the patient’s symptoms significantly improved. SIH should be considered as a potential cause of otherwise unexplained superficial siderosis to prompt an early diagnosis and treatment.
Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Caused by Nerve Compression and Traction by Tortuous Vertebral and Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Arteries
Authors: Park Hyo Jin , Lee Woo-Jin , Yun Chang-Ho , Park Seong-Ho
Published: November 2023

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a condition characterized by lancinating pain in the tongue, soft palate, and pharynx. This condition can be caused by the combination of traction and compression of the glossopharyngeal nerve by tortuous vertebral and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries, which tug down and exert pressure on the nerve. Medical treatments including carbamazepine and gabapentin have been found to effectively manage glossopharyngeal neuralgia, even in cases with overt compression and traction of the nerve.

Authors: Kim Youngjoon , Yeom Seunghan , Ryu Seokgeun , Kwon Hyung-Min
Published: November 2023

In a unique case of neurocysticercosis in Korea, a 73-year-old woman previously treated with steroids for rheumatoid arthritis exhibited neurological symptoms following steroid cessation. Magnetic resonance imaging findings confirmed vesicular stage neurocysticercosis, and subsequent antiparasitic treatment led to symptom resolution. The immunopathology of neurocysticercosis involves intricate interactions between the cyst’s immune evasion mechanisms and host inflammatory responses. The parasites’ strategy of inducing Th2- mediated anti-inflammatory responses for survival suggests potential therapeutic options for autoimmune disorders.

DEVELOPING SOCIAL CAPITAL AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AMONG THE MALAYSIAN YOUTH THROUGH INTERNATIONAL YOUTH EXCHANGE PROGRAM WITH SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN
Authors: Ibrahim Nabila Huda , Keum Hyun Kim , Seung Yoan Rou
Published: November 2023

Social capital development is indispensable to economic growth and well-being because it allows individuals to contribute meaningfully to a society or community. The density of social networks helps an individual take ownership of control over their community through shared trust, norms, and values. As a component to human capital, social capital needs to be developed with important skills and knowledge, such as leadership, communication, and networking, to pursue community empowerment. This study examines the development of social capital and community empowerment at the international level through the international youth exchange program (IYEP) under the Look East Policy (LEP). LEP was implemented in 1982 to develop human capital and increase bilateral collaboration and socio-cultural exchange with East Asian countries, i.e., South Korea and Japan. Based on the secondary data obtained from the Ministry of Youth and Sports and reports from related agencies, this study examined the IYEP of the Malaysia–South Korea and Malaysia-Japan programs and compared their impact on social capital and youth community empowerment. The findings indicate that the IYEP with both countries is expected to strengthen the partnership among participants and help nurture leadership skills. The focus was similar to sociocultural exchange and regional knowledge despite the different scales. Activities such as exchange of knowledge, discussions, enjoying cultural activities, and local activities help the participants build their networking skills and empower the community at both individual and group levels. As the IYEP has benefited its participants, it should be diversified in many areas and collaborations.
PARTICIPATION OF THE EU IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THE ARMENIAN-AZERBAIJANI CONFLICT IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH REGION
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Uman, Ukraine, Skrypnyk Olena
Published: November 2023

The article highlights the reasons for the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The position of the European Union regarding this conflict is analyzed. It has been found that since the beginning of the conflict, the European Union has not actively participated in its settlement and its policy has been weak. The EU has often expressed its support for the negotiation process under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group. The change in the attitude of the EU to this conflict after the introduction of the Eastern Partnership program, which included both Armenia and Azerbaijan, is characterized. An assessment of the consideration of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict at the Eastern Partnership summits is given, namely, at the Eastern Partnership Summit in 2021, the EU’s attitude to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is changing, the EU’s participation in the peaceful settlement of the conflict is increasing. The importance of the created initiative «European Political Community» in the negotiation process regarding the settlement of this conflict was considered. In the course of the study, it was concluded that from 2021, the European Union will become an active participant in the negotiation process regarding the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU is further strengthening its mediation in the negotiation process. At the current stage, three rounds of negotiations between the parties to the conflict took place with the mediation of the EU, thus, the European Union is trying to reduce the influence of Russia in the (not) settlement of the conflict. In turn, from 2022, Armenia is also interested in greater influence of the EU in the negotiation process and at her request; the civilian mission of the European Union in Armenia – EUMA Armenia – was created. Through its presence, EUMA Armenia contributes to the security of people in conflict-affected areas of Armenia and makes an impact on the strengthening of trust on the ground. The country also contributes to the creation of an environment favorable to the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan with EU support.
CONTEXTUAL-TEMPORAL PARADIGM OF THE MAIN LESSONS OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR
Authors:   State Research Institution «Encyclopedia Press», Kyiv, Ukraine, Kyrydon Alla , Troyan Serhiy ,   University of Rzeszov, Rzeszov, Poland
Published: November 2023

The article offers a generalization (as of 2023) of the lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014–2023. Russian aggression against Ukraine at the end of February 2022 turned into a phase of a large-scale war. It caused strong resistance from the Ukrainian state and society, as well as Western anti-Russian sanctions. The Russian-Ukrainian war went far beyond the borders of Ukraine and Russia, it gained regional and global significance. Intermediate summaries and results of the war encourage us to understand and generalize its lessons for Ukraine, Europe and the world, which are especially important for understanding the nature and trends of the evolution of modern international relations and the world order. This is what determines the relevance and purpose of researching the problem. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientificity, historicism, systematicity, generalization, multifactoriality in combination with the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, historical-comparative and historical-genetic, systemic and structural-functional analysis. The lessons of the large-scale phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war are based on the analysis of the current state of the situation at the front, military and diplomatic efforts to ensure the victory of Ukraine. This is necessary to stop Russian aggression and the crimes of the Russian occupiers, to restore the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, punishment of aggressors, to return to the international legal order, and to ensure lasting and stable peace in Europe and the world. Another generalizing lesson is the awareness of Ukraine’s allies and partners that it is a real stronghold that protects democratic rights and freedoms, universal human values. Ukrainians, with their resilience and struggle, gave new impulses to the North Atlantic partnership and European integration. In the future, this is of great importance for the priorities of European and world civilizational development.
THE PROBLEM OF THE DE-OCCUPATION OF CRIMEA IN TURKISH-UKRAINIAN RELATIONS DURING THE ARMED AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AGAINST UKRAINE (2014–2023)

Published: November 2023

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the crucial role of the Republic of Turkey concerning the de-occupation of Crimea and the support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in general. At the scientific level, a coherent and comprehensive study of this important problem has not yet been published. Before the annexation of Ukrainian Crimea by Russia in 2014, one of the significant areas of cooperation between Turkey and Ukraine was their joint efforts to support the Crimean Tatar people, who were returning to Crimea after harrowing deportation by the Soviet regime to Central Asia in 1944. During that time, several joint Ukrainian-Turkish projects were implemented in Crimea, particularly in the economic and cultural spheres, aimed at the rehabilitated Crimean Tatar population. These projects included the construction of schools with Crimean Tatar language instruction, the launch of periodicals in the Crimean Tatar language, economic development, local infrastructure improvement, property acquisitions for representatives of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group, and more. After the criminal annexation of Ukrainian Crimea by Russia in February-March 2014, the Republic of Turkey unequivocally expressed its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This support was particularly evident during discussions and voting at the United Nations, as well as in meetings between the two countries’ presidents and at forums like the “Crimean Platform,” which has been held since 2021, etc. Turkey is making significant efforts to protect the rights and freedoms of the fraternal Crimean Tatar people, who were among the first victims of Russia’s criminal repressive machinery. For instance, Ankara has facilitated the release of some political prisoners of Crimean Tatar ethnicity and has assisted in the resettlement and support of Crimean Tatars who were forced to temporarily move to the mainland of Ukraine. Crimea holds a foremost place in Turkey’s security concept in the Black Sea region. Despite Turkey not fully aligning with anti-Russian sanctions, even after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and even offering shelter to Russian businesses seeking to evade Western sanctions, its position on Crimea has consistently been unequivocal. Considering Russia as its main geopolitical rival in the Black Sea, Ankara is unquestionably interested in seeing the return of this strategically important peninsula to Ukraine. There is no doubt about this, the Turkish side will actively participate in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, primarily Crimea, as an integral part of Ukraine. Turkish officials have been emphasizing this repeatedly.
THE UKRAINIAN PARAMILITARY MOVEMENT IN THE WETZLAR CAMP, GERMANY, 1916 – THE FIRST HALF OF 1918 (ACCORDING TO THE MATERIALS OF THE CAMP PRESS)

Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the development of the Ukrainian paramilitary movement in the camp of Ukrainian prisoners of war Wetzlar (Germany) in 1916 – the first half of 1918, which began with the founding of the gymnastic society «Sich». Quite soon it turned into a paramilitary structure with a relatively small number of its members with a developed national worldview. Its members jointly performed gymnastic exercises accompanied by an orchestra, performed night duty in the camp, keeping an eye on fire safety. The turning point in the history of the society was December 1917, when the newly elected leadership of «Sich» took decisive measures to normalize the situation in it. The most important of his decisions was the creation of the 1st «Sich» Petro Doroshenko regiment, the appointment of centurions, chicken officers and chief of staff, the organization of training classes, ordering the regimental flag. It is obvious that the establishment and further development of the camp «Sich» was authorized by the German authorities, who hoped to strengthen their combat resources at the expense of Ukrainians, primarily in frontline operations against the Russian Imperial Army. However, these hopes were unfounded, and although some of the Sich-man was indeed enrolled in German military service, this category of campers served their time in military command posts in the Volyn lands occupied by Germany. At the same time, two transports were formed from the number of «Sich» activists and Ukrainian activists from other camp organizations, which were incorporated into the Syn’ozhupanna Division. The most significant merit of the Wetzlar «Sich» was the national awareness and organizational training of more than a thousand of its members, who were instilled with strong patriotic feelings. The «Sich» organization of captured Ukrainians in Wetzlar and the 1st «Sich» Petro Doroshenko regiment formed here became one of the foundations for the creation of the armed forces of Ukraine in the most necessary period for it – during the Ukrainian national liberation struggle of 1917–1921.

Background: Healthcare providers have an influential role in the experience of financial toxicity among their cancer patients, yet patients commonly report unmet needs and dissatisfaction regarding communication with their providers about financial concerns. Aims: The purpose of this study is to develop a novel financial navigation pathway that leverages existing patient financial services and resources with corresponding patient-centered, community-informed strategies, via study participants, that may be utilized in routine care to reduce financial hardship among cancer patients. Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews (n=50) with 34 cancer patients and 16 cancer care professionals at a National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center located in a dense urban area of the US between December 2022 to June 2023. Results: Content analyses resulted in emergent themes and representative quotations on experiences of financial hardship within the material, behavioral, and psychosocial domains. Investigators used emergent themes to develop financial strategies and construct a financial navigation pathway to screen patients for and intervene upon the financial toxicity of cancer in routine care. Conclusion: This study followed an innovative approach by constructing a financial navigation pathway tool that follows the oncological workflow at a National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center. Future research is needed to test the tool’s impact on financial toxicity, cancer outcomes, and other health-related outcomes, and to better understand how much patient navigation is needed to bring about meaningful change.

Preparatory learning tasks are considered critical for student success in flipped classroom courses. However, less is known regarding which learning strategies students use and when they use those strategies in a flipped classroom course. In this study, we aimed to address this research gap. In particular, we investigated mutual connections between learning strategies and time management, and their combined effects on students’ performance in flipped classrooms. To this end, we harnessed a network analytic approach based on epistemic network analysis (ENA) to analyze student trace data collected in an undergraduate engineering course (N = 290) with a flipped classroom design. Our findings suggest that high-performing students effectively used their study time and enacted learning strategies mainly linked to formative and summative assessment tasks. The students in the low-performing group enacted less diverse learning strategies and typically focused on video watching. We discuss several implications for research and instructional practice.

V prispevku se osredotočamo na zaznavo lastne legitimnosti pri policistih v različnih časovnih obdobjih. Samozaznava legitimnosti policistov se nanaša na njihovo zaznavo upravičenosti lastnega položaja nosilca avtoritete v družbi. V študiji je sodelovalo 1.470 policistov z osmih policijskih uprav Sloveniji, v vzorec pa jih je bilo vključenih 1.380 (491 policistov v letu 2013, 461 policistov v letu 2016 in 428 policistov v letu 2022). Iz 16 spremenljivk smo oblikovali štiri faktorje: 1) samozaznava legitimnosti, 2) odnosi s sodelavci, 3) postopkovna pravičnost nadrejenih in 4) zaznava legitimnosti (projekcija). Rezultati so pokazali statistično pomembne razlike v samozaznavi legitimnosti policistov, odnosih med policisti, zaznavi postopkovne pravičnosti nadrejenih in zaznavi legitimnosti pri prebivalcih v različnih časovnih obdobjih. Zaznava lastne legitimnosti, odnosov s sodelavci, postopkovne pravičnosti nadrejenih kot tudi legitimnosti (projekcija) pri policistih je naraščala skozi celotno preučevano obdobje.
Stališča prebivalcev do dela policije v ruralnem okolju

Stališča prebivalcev o delu policije predstavljajo pomemben vir podatkov za ocenjevanje uspešnosti policijske dejavnosti. Ker policija deluje v različnih skupnostih, je pri vrednotenju njene uspešnosti pomembno upoštevati tudi okolje dela. Z raziskavo smo ugotavljali, kako prebivalci, ki živijo v ruralnih okoljih v Sloveniji, ocenjujejo delo policije pri opravljanju temeljnih nalog in izpolnjevanju osnovnih odgovornosti. Rezultati kažejo, da so prebivalci v povprečju zadovoljni z delom policije. Najbolj zadovoljni so z odzivnostjo in dostopnostjo policistov in njihovo prisotnostjo na terenu. Menijo, da je policija najmanj uspešna pri enakopravni obravnavi vseh državljanov in pri preprečevanju kriminalitete ter odkrivanju storilcev kaznivih dejanj. Rezultati kažejo tudi, da so z zaznavo uspešnosti policije povezane nekatere osebne značilnosti prebivalcev.
Uporaba prepovedanih drog in njena problematika v Sloveniji

Uporaba prepovedanih drog v Sloveniji narašča, spreminjajo se vzorci in načini uporabe drog, pojavljajo se nove droge in nove zasvojenosti. Med splošno populacijo prevladuje uporaba konoplje in narašča uporaba stimulansov, kar sovpada z analizami odpadnih vod in Nacionalne raziskave o tobaku, alkoholu in nekaterih drugih drogah med prebivalci Slovenije (ATADD). Med problematičnimi uporabniki drog prevladuje uporaba opiatov in narašča uporaba kokaina. Zmanjšuje se izdaja sterilnega pribora za injiciranje, kar kaže na prehajanje uporabnikov na manj tvegane načine uporabe drog. Po letu 2015 prevladuje naraščajoč trend števila umrlih zaradi predoziranj s prepovedanimi drogami, po letu 2019 se trend ponovno obrne. V letu 2019 je bilo v Sloveniji zabeleženih 51 umrlih zaradi uporabe drog na milijon prebivalcev, kar je najvišja stopnja umrljivosti v Evropski uniji. Dostopnost programov pomoči je v okviru zdravstva in socialnega varstva zadostna in geografsko primerno pokrita, vendar se število uporabnikov, ki vstopajo v programe obravnave, zmanjšuje.

The relevance. The consumption of lubricants and, as a result, the volume of used oils increases annually. As a result, large volumes of them are accumulated, which require standard methods of handling them. It is known that oils, including waste ones, are used as lubricating additives to drilling mud. The practice of recent years has shown the expediency of replacing lubricating additives with used lubricating oils, which would ensure the preservation of the main and the achievement of new properties. This article presents the results of a study of micelle-forming solutions under the influence of Na and K salts on their filtration and crust-forming properties. The main aim: evaluation of the possibility of using spent turbine oil in the drilling mud as a component of a lubricating additive, as well as its effect on the main parameters of the drilling mud; study of the effect of oil, ether and salt interaction on the filtration and crust-forming properties of drilling mud. Objects: spent turbine engine oils selected at the drilling site during the construction of the well. Methods. Drilling mud indicators were measured. Water, technical oil and ether were used to form micelles. The studies were carried out using the methodology of a complete factor experiment, in which the studied effects of salt in solutions were approximated in the form of first-order polynomials. Results. By comparing the first coefficients of the polynomial models, a significant effect of sodium chloride on the rheological and filtration properties of solutions and the stickiness of their filtration films was revealed. The effect of chlorides on a group of eight solutions in different oil fractions was statistically confirmed, for which the Student and Mann–Whitney criteria were used. The paper introduces the graphical interpretation of some approximations of the equations of the effect the solution ingredients interaction on the response value.
