Folkehelse og livsmestring i skolen – livskvalitet for alle i alle fag
Authors: Lysne Dag Atle , Haga Monika , Høgseth Harald B. , Heide Anne-Lise
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the interdisciplinary school course called health and life skills from the perspective of students in teacher education. The informants came from an open course at NTNU on health and life skills. The study was based on a qualitative method, and the data material consisted of five individual interviews. Audio recordings were made of the interviews, which were transcribed and analysed through a reflexive thematic approach. The study shows that health and life skills should be understood in a holistic (salutogenic) perspective that focuses on the pupils’ physical, mental and social health. The focus should be on mastering school tasks, and well-being is crucial for pupils’ learning in school. The informants saw their role as teachers as helping the pupils preparing for what will face them later in life. They referred to the introduction of health and life skills as a boost for the school. An interdisciplinary subject will require a high degree of cross-disciplinary collaboration and coordination. This is challenging but has opportunities to include practical work and connect the work in the school more closely with society outside.
Musikk, fiksjon og følelser: didaktiske tilnærminger til folkehelse og livsmestring i musikkfaget i skole og lærerutdanning
Authors: Heide Anne-Lise , Reistadbakk Egil
Published: July 2024

The new curriculum (LK20) for primary and lower secondary school in Norway introduced health and life skills (folkehelse og livsmestring) as an interdisciplinary theme in education. As teachers working at NTNU’s Department of Education in the subject of music, this development has inspired us to explore of new methods of teaching. The research project “Music, fiction and emotions” questions how we can contribute to students’ knowledge of connections between art subjects, health and wellbeing. This applies particularly in connection to children´s and young people’s ability to understand their own and other’s feelings. This chapter describes an action research study, based on a workshop carried out with music students in autumn 2022. Working in a creative, artistic and experimental process, the students explored different modes of expression to create new artistic performances. The data material consists of a workshop design and an online questionnaire which the participants answered after the workshop. We find that through the notion of “distance for nearness”, we as educators can facilitate students’ exploration of music and arts in ways that make them cope with, negotiate and interpret their own and others’ feelings. In the context of health and life skills, we propose this as a fruitful starting point for further development of research and teaching in the given context.
The Power of Music: Famous Professional Musicians’ Experiences of Health and Wellbeing – a Qualitative Study, Norway
Authors: Batt-Rawden Kari Bjerke
Published: July 2024

The aim of this chapter is to document, investigate and explore how coping with life can be strengthened through musical, artistic, and cultural expertise from a salutogenic perspective. This project has two research objectives: (i) to explore the role and significance of music in the lives of renowned, professional musicians in or through different life phases, situations, events, issues and contexts, and (ii) to explore how these issues might be connected to self-musicking, health, wellbeing and coping capabilities. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Norwegian musicians aged 54 to 85 (four men and four women) who had achieved considerable success in a variety of musical genres. The interviews, taking place in Oslo, lasted about two hours. On average, the musicians have had active careers lasting 55 years. Data were collected during 2021–2022. Inspired by grounded theory, three main themes emerged from the interviews: (i) learning to practice for joy and enrichment – establishing skills, (ii) musical highlights – a sense of meaningfulness, and (iii) self-musicking, enhancing coping capabilities. These results may be transferable to school settings and lifelong learning from a salutogenic perspective. Learning musical skills at school may emphasize the beneficial and health-promoting properties of music. It seems important to understand the potential of learning music both at home and in school as a health resource. These findings may be of significance for acknowledging music’s power as an interdisciplinary theme in the educational system. Focusing on musical activities as a lay-skill practice may provide health-promoting activity for children and young people throughout their education.
«Veiledninga fra praksislærer sluttet liksom ikke den dagen vi var ferdige i praksis». En studie av trepartssamarbeid rundt lærerstudenters FoU-oppgave
Authors: Killengreen Siw , Unhjem Astrid
Published: July 2024

I denne studien har vi undersøkt hvordan lærerstudentene opplevde arbeidet med FoU-oppgaven på 3. studieår når praksislærer ble frikjøpt fra skolen én dag i uka og kunne være mer til stede i veiledningsprosessen. Data ble samlet inn gjennom spørreskjema til alle studentene og i tillegg gjennom fokusgruppeintervju med studentene som hadde utvidet samarbeid med praksislærer. Resultatene viser at den sistnevnte gruppen studenter opplevde at trepartssamarbeidet mellom studenter, universitetslærer og praksislærer var likeverdig og lærerikt. Videre mente de at det utvidede samarbeidet med praksislærer hadde bidratt positivt til veiledningsprosessen, og ga oppgavene et sterkere fokus på nytteverdi og relevans for skolen. Studien viser at en utvidet rolle til praksislærere som veileder på FoU-prosjekter bidrar positivt til utviklingen av studentens undervisnings-, forsknings- og utviklingskompetanse. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
A Study of Tripartite Cooperation on Student Teachers’ R&D Tasks
In this study we investigated how the student teachers perceived the work on the R&D task in the 3rd year when the practice teacher had an additional supervision resource. Data were collected through questionnaires for all students as well as focus group interviews with students who had extended collaboration with their practice teacher. The results show that these students experienced the three-party collaboration between students, university teachers, and practice teachers as equally valuable and educational informative. Furthermore, they believed that the extended collaboration with the practice teacher had contributed positively to the supervision process and gave the tasks a stronger focus on usefulness and relevance for the school. The study shows that an expanded role of practice teachers as supervisors on R&D projects contributes positively to the development of the student’s teaching, research and development competence.
Læreres kunnskapskilder til skriveopplæring i begynneropplæringen
Authors: Johansen Marita Byberg , Holten Kvistad Anne , Skar Gustaf B. , Aasen Arne Johannes
Published: July 2024

Ifølge Kunnskapsløftet skal skolen bidra til å utvikle elevers skriveferdigheter fra skolestart. Tidligere forskning har imidlertid vist at lærere ikke opplever at lærerutdanningen forbereder dem i tilstrekkelig grad til å undervise i skriving på småtrinnet. Målet med denne studien var derfor å undersøke fra hvilke kunnskapskilder lærere på 1. trinn har utviklet sin kunnskap om skriveopplæring. Det empiriske grunnlaget for analysen var intervjuer med 116 lærere på 1. trinn ved 54 skoler. Lærerne fikk spørsmål om fra hvilke kunnskapskilder de har lært mest om skriving i begynneropplæringen. Materialet i studien var lydopptak og transkripsjoner fra intervjuene. Funnene viser blant annet at lærerne i hovedsak trekker fram kolleger, kurs/prosjekter og erfaring som kilder til kunnskap om skriveopplæring i begynneropplæringen, og at de i mindre grad trekker fram sin formelle utdanning. I artikkelen drøftes funnene og hvilke implikasjoner de kan ha for lærerutdanning og for andre som jobber med læreres læring når det kommer til skriveopplæring.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
First-Grade Teachers’ Sources of Knowledge about Writing Instruction
According to the Knowledge Promotion Reform, schools should contribute to developing students’ writing skills from the start of school. However, previous research has shown that teachers do not feel that teacher education prepares them sufficiently to teach writing in the early grades. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate from which sources of knowledge first-grade teachers have developed their knowledge about writing instruction. The empirical basis for the analysis was interviews with 116 first-grade teachers at 54 schools. The teachers were asked about the sources of knowledge from which they have learned the most about writing in beginner instruction. The material in the study consisted of audio recordings and transcriptions from the interviews. Findings suggest that the teachers primarily cite colleagues, courses/projects, and experience as sources of knowledge about writing instruction in elementary school and that they to a lesser degree refer to their formal education. The article discusses the findings and what implications they may have for teacher education and for others working with teacher learning when it comes to writing instruction.

Personal characteristics of employees of enterprises affected by fires at industrial facilities in 2020–2022 depending on their risk category have been analyzed. The industrial facilities are divided into three groups: facilities not subject to classification; facilities of low-risk category not subject to scheduled supervision and control by the state fire safety supervision authorities; and facilities of extremely high, high, significant, medium, and moderate risk subject to scheduled control (supervision). The most common cause of fatalities was poisoning with toxic combustion products of fires (47.7 % of cases). This was the cause of 59 % of cases at the facilities of the 2nd group of risk and only 26.5 % of cases of the 1st group. Among the conditions that contributed to fatalities during fires, is untimely evacuation as a result of alcoholic (narcotic) intoxication. This condition is relevant for the facilities of the 1st and 2nd groups in 34.1 and 36.8 % of cases respectively, whereas for the facilities of the 3rd group, it is only 20.3 % of cases. In 67.3 % of cases, fatalities occurred before the arrival of firefighting subdivisions. Among the conditions contributing to injuries, the most common is the damage by the associated manifestations of fire hazardous factors as a result of explosions with a share of 16.4 %. Injuries caused by explosions occurred at the facilities of the 3rd group in 19.3 % of cases, whereas for the facilities of the 2nd group, it is only 8 % of cases. In the majority of cases, injuries caused mild body harm in 56 % of cases; severe harm was induced in 16.9 % of cases. The analysis has shown that, when implementing occupational safety measures at enterprises, drilling of personnel’s actions in case of activation of fire alarm and fire evacuation system, ensuring mental stability of personnel in case of potential fires and psychological readiness to act in conditions of panicking crowd must be provided as the majority of fatalities of employees are registered before the arrival of firefighting subdivisions. Special attention must be paid to the enterprises not subject to scheduled supervision and control.

Vasiliy Nesterenko and Sergey Simakov: Struggle for the Meaning or Why “Kitsch” Is Quite Good
Authors: Natalia Rostova
Published: July 2024

In the article the author analyzes the work of two artists – Sergey Simakov (now Father Raphael) and Vasiliy Nesterenko. Wile the peak of Simakov’s artistic work falls at the time of the late USSR, Nesterenko is the person of contemporary Russian painting. According to the author these artists can be viewed as spiritual heirs and successors of Ilya Glazunov’s school in painting. The essence of this school consists in understanding art as civic statement and serving to the Motherland. The artists are related in their visualization of the idea of Holy Rus’ in their work resorting to poster aesthetics at that. The last circumstance is the reason for often qualifying their art as kitsch. Still the author shows in the article that the concept of kitsch was invented in the 20th century to compromise the idea of meaning and justify the understanding of art as principally senseless and shallow, denying the very category of absolute and shattering any foundations. Analyzing certain paintings the author comes to the conclusion that such artists as S. Simakov and V. Nesterenko stand up for the idea of meaning at the “art fronts” and objectify the self-comprehension of Russian people in their images

Published: July 2024

Objectives: This study analyzed the safety of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) bivalent and monovalent booster vaccines, including the frequency of adverse events (AEs) such as myocarditis and pericarditis, in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years in the Republic of Korea. We aimed to share the safety profile of the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine booster doses.Methods: We analyzed the frequencies of AEs reported to the COVID-19 vaccination management system (CVMS) or self-reported through the text message survey (TMS). Diagnostic eligibility and causality with vaccines were compared using odds ratios (ORs) by vaccine type, and incidence rates per 100,000 person-days were calculated for confirmed cases of myocarditis and pericarditis following monovalent and bivalent booster doses.Results: In the CVMS, the AE reporting rate (per 100,000 doses) was lower after the bivalent booster (66.5) than after the monovalent booster (264.6). Among the AEs reported for both monovalent and bivalent vaccines 98.3% were non-serious and 1.7% were serious. According to the TMS, both local and systemic AEs were reported less frequently after the bivalent vaccination than after the monovalent vaccination in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (p<0.001). The incidence rates per 100,000 person-days for confirmed myocarditis/pericarditis following monovalent and bivalent booster doses were 0.03 and 0.05, respectively; this difference was not statistically significant (OR, 1.797; 95% confidence interval, 0.210–15.386).Conclusion: AEs in 12- to 17-year-olds following the bivalent booster were less frequent than those following the monovalent booster in the Republic of Korea, and no major safety issues were identified. However, the reporting rates for AEs were low.

Published: July 2024

Events are important instruments that generate emotions and enable multisensory experiences. Hence, companies use as a part of their strategic communications efforts. Following the technological developments live communication formats adopted digital and hybrid formats. This trend was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the theoretical framework of the Technology Adoption Model, the present research investigates the usefulness of digital and hybrid live communication in business-to-business events. Eight experts were interviewed and highlighted both the opportunities and challenges that such types of live-communication are associated with. Hence, flexibility of content creation, new strategic approaches, the inclusion of new target groups, and a differentiated approach to communication towards certain target groups were mentioned as advantages of digital or hybrid live-communication. However, there are also disadvantages of digital live-communication which detract from the positive effects such as the limited interaction among participants, less emotional involvement of participants and lack of attention. The present study has both theoretical and practical implications.

Published: July 2024

The European student mobility Erasmus+ Programme was first established in 1987 and, in 1999, the Bologna Declaration aimed to promote the mobility as one of its main goals, focusing on intergovernmental cooperation in the field of higher education. In recent years, the mobility process has become increasingly significant, and a greater number of individuals experienced a mobility period abroad improving knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In addition to this, several international studies show how the Erasmus+ mobility has positive effects on social and individual growth. For this reason, the aim of this contribution is to focus the attention on the personal development of students from Sapienza University of Rome who spent a mobility period abroad in a non-EU country during the academic year 2019/2020 (last available and complete data before the COVID-19 outbreak). The results of the analysis, carried out by using content analysis, show how personal development as well as the ability to adapt to different contexts can be facilitated by an experience abroad. Furthermore, this can enable one to find a valuable job according to the skills and competences improved in a diverse study environment and can create a number of opportunities for personal growth.

Published: July 2024

In the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, students must be given a proper foundation of communication skills necessary in various dynamic real-world situations. This study investigates learner perception of the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in improving the speaking skills of tertiary-level EFL students in Bangladesh. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect and analyze data from 30 students, of different private universities of Bangladesh. The data was gathered by analyzing the results from the survey. The results of the study showed there was a statistically significant improvement in the speaking skills of EFL students after the CLT intervention. The students demonstrated an increase in fluency and complexity in their speaking performance. Furthermore, findings revealed that the students had positive perceptions of CLT and found it effective in enhancing their speaking skills. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the benefits of using CLT as a teaching method in EFL environments. This suggests the importance of incorporating communicative and interactive activities in language classrooms to promote language learning and student engagement.
Greek Megas And Latin Magnus ‘Great, Big, Large’: A New Contribution To The Laryngeal Theory
Authors: Witczak Krzysztof Tomasz
Published: July 2024

Almost hundred years ago Jerzy Kuryłowicz, the well known Polish linguist, convincingly demonstrated that the Indo-European short vowel *a was secondarily formed by the interaction of PIE. *h2 with the next vowel *e. There are some instances where this explanation does not apply. The most characteristic example of the secondary root a-vocalism is the Latin adjective magnus ‘great, large’, etymologically related to Greek μέγας adj. ‘great, big, large’ (< PIE. *méĝhh2s, cf. Arm. mec ‘great’, OInd. mahi- adj. ‘great’, Hitt. mekkiš adj. ‘id.’, Goth. mikils adj. ‘id.’). Lat. magnus demonstrates an unexplained vowel [a] as opposed to PIE. *e. It is suggested that the Latin a-vocalism appeared as the effect of influencing the laryngeal *h2 on the preceding syllable. In other words, the Latin adjective is created by the following regular development: PIE. *méĝh2s adj. ‘great, large’ → *meĝh̥2-no-s adj. ‘id.’ > Proto-Latin *megḀnos > *magAnos > Lat. magnus ‘id.’. The same phonological law (which can be called the magnus rule) should be postulated for other Italic and Indo-European languages, e.g. MIr. maige adj. ‘great’ (< Celtic *magjos ‘id.’ < *megAi̯os ‘id.’ < *meĝh̥2-i̯o-s ← PIE. *méĝh̥2s); Toch. A māk, B māka adj. ‘many’ (< CToch. *măkă < *megAs < PIE. *méĝh̥2s).
Evaluation of a continuous glucose monitoring system in healthy dairy calves and adult goats
Authors: Brobst Megan N. , Abi-Nader Bailey A. , Blasczynski Sarah J. , Chigerwe Munashe
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the accuracy of a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) device by comparing glucose concentrations measured over time as determined by the CGMS to those of the chemistry analyzer (reference method).

ANIMALS

7 healthy goats and 7 dairy calves.

METHODS

A randomized, crossover design with 3 treatments: control, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia. The CGMS device was applied to the neck. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia were induced by insulin and xylazine, respectively. Glucose concentrations were measured by the chemistry analyzer CGMS, point-of-care glucometer, and intensive care unit machine at 0 (before treatment), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours. Agreement between the CGMS and the chemistry analyzer was determined by Bland-Altman plots. The analytical and clinical accuracy of the CGMS was determined using the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15197:2013 criteria and the Parkes error grid analysis.

RESULTS

In goats, the CGMS overestimated glucose concentrations during the hypoglycemic, normoglycemia, and hyperglycemia treatments. In calves, the CGMS underestimated glucose concentrations during the hypoglycemic treatment but overestimated glucose concentrations in normoglycemia and hyperglycemic treatments. The CGMS met the ISO clinical accuracy criteria for goats and calves, with > 99% of the glucose measurements in zones A and B of the Parkes grid. However, the CGMS did not meet the ISO 15197:2013 criteria for analytical accuracy.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The CGMS evaluated in our study only met the ISO 15197:2013 clinical accuracy criteria, not the analytical accuracy. Therefore, the device might be considered for clinical use.

To cohouse cats experimentally infected with Bartonella clarridgeiae (Bc) with naive cats in a flea-free environment or with Ctenocephalides felis, Bartonella henselae (Bh), Mycoplasma haemofelis, and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum to determine which flea could be a vector and to assess whether transmission of the infectious agents could be blocked by fipronil and (S)-methoprene.

ANIMALS

Specific pathogen-free cats (n = 34).

METHODS

In experiment 1, Bc was inoculated in 1 cat that was housed with 9 naive cats without C felis. In experiment 2, the 2 cats inoculated with Bc were housed with 6 other cats (2 inoculated with Bh, 2 inoculated with M haemofelis, and 2 inoculated with Candidatus M haemominutum) in the center (enclosure 2) of 3 housing enclosures separated by mesh walls that allow passage of fleas but precludes fighting. C felis were placed only on cats in enclosure 2 (5 times). Cats in enclosures 1 (n = 8) and 2 (8) were untreated, and cats in enclosure 3 (8) were administered fipronil and (S)-methoprene. Blood was collected from all cats for PCR assays for the pathogens.

RESULTS

None of the cats housed with the cat inoculated with Bc became PCR positive in the absence of C felis. All cats in enclosure 2 became Bc DNA positive. While 2 of 8 cats in enclosure 1 became Bc PCR positive, none of the treated cats in enclosure 3 became infected.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The study demonstrated that C felis can be a vector for Bc. The results support the recommendation that flea control products can reduce the risk of transmission of flea-borne pathogens.
Systematic evaluation supports the use of ELISA for quantification of calprotectin in equine feces, a first step toward noninvasive quantification of intestinal inflammation in horses

OBJECTIVE

To optimize and evaluate methods for the detection of the inflammatory biomarkers myeloperoxidase (MPO) and calprotectin (CP) in equine feces by ELISA.

ANIMALS

Healthy horses (n = 28) and horses with intestinal inflammation (n = 10).

METHODS

Feces were suspended in buffer to create fecal supernatant. Serum and fecal supernatant were analyzed using ELISA kits validated for the detection of MPO and CP in equine serum. Assay validation steps included intra- and interassay variability (coefficient of variation [CV]), dilution linearity, spike recovery, and sample type correlation. Variations in sample handling protocols (centrifugation speed, extraction buffer, and filtration) were evaluated.

RESULTS

17 paired fecal and serum samples were used for initial analysis (10 healthy horses, 7 colitis). Previously reported sample handling protocols resulted in detectable MPO and CP but poor CV, linearity, and spike recovery. There was a linear correlation between serum and fecal samples for CP but not MPO. There was a significant difference between the concentration and CV of alternative sample handling protocols for CP and MPO, with improved CV for CP (2.1% to 18.6%) but not MPO (14.4% to 53.4%). Processing fresh feces with a fecal extraction buffer and filtration of supernatant resulted in the best CV (0.5% to 3.8%) and recovery (45% to 64%) for CP. Detection of MPO was inconsistent regardless of method.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

There are few reliable diagnostic modalities for inflammation of the equine large colon. Findings support quantification of CP in equine feces using the described ELISA kit and protocol. With additional study to establish reference interval and clinical utility, the fecal inflammatory biomarker CP may allow for noninvasive quantification of intestinal inflammation in horses.
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL THEATRE OF JAPAN AND KABUKI: CONTEMPORARY INTERDEPENDENCIES AND PROSPECTIVE CHALLENGES
Authors: BERGMANN Annegret
Published: July 2024

In pursuit of its mission to preserve traditional Japanese performing arts, the first National Theatre of Japan predominantly showcased Kabuki performances since its establishment in 1966. This article examines the proposed redevelopment concept for this theatre within the context of the current landscape of Kabuki productions. It sheds light on the Japanese government’s inclination to diminish its role in the future National Theatre’s construction scheduled to open in 2029, opting to realize it as a Private Partnership Project. This strategic shift underscores a focus on the tourist appeal of the rebuilt theatre while concurrently preserving its interdependent relationship with Shōchiku in Kabuki productions.
A SONG OF CONTINUITY: KAGURA SECRET SONG AND THE VICENNIAL RENEWAL OF ISE JINGŪ ON THE EVE OF THE MODERN PERIOD
Authors: URITA Michiko
Published: July 2024

During the transition from the Edo period to the Meiji Restoration, Ise Jingū (Ise Grand Shrine) underwent significant changes due to Westernization and modernization, culminating in the Jingū reformation of 1871. However, in the latter part of the Meiji era, there was a resurgence of interest in restoring ancient rituals and preserving the shrine's core principles. This paper focuses on the pivotal 1889 vicennial renewal at Ise Jingū to understand how shrine priests sustained ritual continuity amidst modernization. Specifically, it examines the sacred music (mikagura) and the kagura secret song (hikyoku) introduced during this ceremony. Mikanagi Kiyonao's writings provide valuable insights into the origins and influences of linguistic and ritual elements. As the 63rd Shikinen Sengū reconstruction ritual approaches in 2033, this paper offers insights into Ise Jingū's resilience.
JOURNEY AS SELF-REFLECTION - KAIKŌ TAKESHI’S “ESCAPE” FROM JAPAN

This paper sets out to analyze Kaikō Takeshi’s travelogue "Kako to mirai no kuniguni – Chūgoku to Tōō" (“Countries of Past and Future – China and Eastern Europe”), which describes Kaikō’s first experience of Eastern Europe and China. As a writer who got to be well-recognized for his reportage writing and novels based on his own experience, Kaikō’s initial struggle abroad turned out to be the opportunity that lit his inner desire to continue searching for the truth, leading him towards the exploration of the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, which is the writing he is still most well remembered for today.
BINGKAI BERITA PENGGALANGAN BANTUAN KEMANUSIAAN UNTUK RAKYAT PALESTINA DI MEDIA ONLINE REPUBLIKA.CO.ID DAN KOMPAS.COM

The 'heating' conflict in the Gaza Strip which triggered a war between Palestine and Israeli Zionists from October 2023 until now continues to raise concern worldwide, including Indonesia. This concern was realized by sending various aid to Palestine. This humanitarian action was widely reported by various mass media, including online media republika.co.id and kompas.com. The news selection was chosen from 13 October – 4 November 2023 with certain considerations. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a constructivist paradigm. Researchers framed news about raising humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people on republika.co.id and kompas.com using Robert N Entman's framing analysis approach. In the period 13 October – 4 November 2023, Republika.co.id broadcast 13 news stories while Kompas.com released 10 news stories. The results of this research show that there are similarities between the two news portals, namely that they both raise the issue of raising humanitarian aid to help the Palestinian people as part of the overall media coverage. The difference is that Republika.co.id emphasizes the movement of elements of society in mobilizing humanitarian action as "central actors" while kompas.com emphasizes President Jokowi as the "central actor" in this news which is the implementation of the government's strategic communication in helping the struggle of the Palestinian people by sending various aids.

Authors: Jawhar Zahra , Alshammari Nujud , Radhwan Nafisah , Bluwi Bushra
Published: July 2024

The exposure of skin to cold results in the release of histamine, leukotrienes, and pro-inflammatory mast cell mediators which leads to the appearance of pruritic wheals with or without angioedema and in turn the onset of urticaria. According to the etiology, cold urticaria can be classified into acquired cold urticaria (ACU) and familial cold urticaria (FCU). This study aimed to overview the acquired and FCU. The articles incorporated in writing this review were obtained through searching the scientific databases and using various related keywords. All types of articles were eligible and those written in English language. The current subject was discussed in two main titles, ACU and FCU. Each title overviewed the related condition, diagnosis, and management. There is confusion regarding the classification of urticaria; ACU and FCU are two forms of urticaria based on etiology. However, there is little known about FCU, especially regarding its management. Correct and prompt diagnosis is the key factor to avoid severe consequences of these two conditions.
