Impact of COVID-19 on psycho-pedagogical issues of remote teaching. A comparative study Moldova - Nigeria
Authors:   University of Political and Economic European Studies ", Railean Elena ,   Constantin Stere",   , Republic of Moldova
Published: July 2022

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, both teachers and students were forced to acquire competence remotely through online learning environments. This article aims to investigate how COVID-19 influenced the learning outcomes in Moldova and Nigeria from the perspective of educational psychology. Based on the complexity of the questions of the online survey, developed in Romanian and English, the scale for measuring learning outcomes in distance learning is established. The scale is composed of eight dimensions (i.e. the best teaching format, the best teaching method for a contemporary student, the most affordable category of methods, the most important method of learning, the most used digital resources, the most used method to evaluate students’ knowledge, the most appropriate statement of assessment and balance of assessment, measurement, and testing tools). It was concluded that respondents from both countries (N=182), choice face-to-face as the best teaching format and paper tests photographed and transmitted, as the most used method to evaluate students’ knowledge. The differences are in the perception of learning strategies and the best teaching methodology for achieving lifelong outcomes. Future research could improve understanding of these psycho-pedagogical issues.

The article analyzes the aspects of doctoral treatment at European level. The doctorate becames part of the higher education (cycle III) in the early 2000s and has been an important element of the Bologna process and the development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The announcements of the ministers responsible for higher education in European countries as a result of their regular meetings, provide various activities for the development of a common framework for doctoral studies at European leve as welll. At the same time, the processes of globalization and the development of knowledge-based economies pose a number of challenges to the process and purpose of doctoral studies, which are widely debated by researchers, experts and decision makers. International experience can be useful and needs to be taken into consideration in the process of reforming the doctoral studies in the Republic of Moldova, especially in the context of implementing actions to integrate national higher education in the EHEA.
Creativity and creative process in moldovan higher journalism education in the totalitarian period
Authors:   Moldova State University, Stepanov Georgeta
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the examination of the principles of organization of higher journalistic education in the MSSR, in particular, to the study of educational activities aimed at the formation and development of skills and creative abilities of future journalists. The identification and description these activities from a conceptual and functional perspective, as well as the follow-up of the dynamics of their development, offers the possibility to outline a new, pragmatic vision on the university education in the totalitarian period. This pragmatic approach, as opposed to the ideological one, highlighted the good practices existing in that higher education system. Over time, these practices have formed models of journalistic training, which have been the basis of contemporary Moldovan higher journalism education. According to the authors, one of the basic objectives of that education was the development of creative skills, which was achieved by the training and later by amplifying the divergent thinking, flexibility and originality of students. And just as the creative process does not follow a single pattern, the strategies, techniques, tactics, in general, the ways of formation, development, modeling, etc. of the creative skills and abilities of future journalists were very varied; they had a central place in the curriculum and in the teaching process, being studied throughout the training. Exactly the activities aimed at training creative skills and abilities, despite the deeply ideological nature of higher education in the Soviet period, gave a functional-pragmatic and distinctive character to university journalistic training.

Challenges for the agritourism sector in the United States: Regional comparisons of access
Authors: Hollas Chadley , Wang Weiwei , Chase Lisa , Conner David , Kolodinsky Jane
Published: July 2022

Agritourism has become a popular pursuit for farms and ranches in the United States, aiming to diversify revenue sources and meet agricultural edu­cation and community-building goals. How­ever, there has been limited research around the challenges experienced by operators and limited access to resources that can help address these chal­lenges. This article fills that gap in knowledge by examining the challenges agritourism opera­tions currently face in the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West regions of the U.S. In this study, we use a mixed-methods approach to the Five Dimen­sions of Access framework developed by Penchansky and Thomas (1981). We opera­tionalize their model in an ordinal probit regression to analyze data from a national survey of agritourism operators, analyzed by region. Results from the quantitative analysis are sub­stantiated using qualitative, open-ended comments from the same survey. The analyses show that agritourism operators encounter different challenges according to their region. We find that operators in most regions of the United States are concerned about agritourism liability. However, states in the West region experience more chal­lenges with regulations, zoning, and permitting, while operators in the South have more problems with e-connectivity. These results can be applied in three ways: support services for agritourism, policy and regulations, and future research.

Published: July 2022

Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores of students taking swimming lessons and their 25-meter freestyle swimming degrees. Methods: A total of 12 male volunteering swimmers studying at Yozgat Bozok University Faculty of Sport Sciences were included in the study. The participants were aged 22.00±0.85, 79.05±11.63 kg in body weight and 178.91±5.03 cm in height. The FMS, a screening test to evaluate functional movement patterns, was applied to the students taking swimming lessons. The short lane freestyle degrees of those students were measured in a 25-meter swimming pool. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between FMS scores and 25m swimming degrees, as the data showed a normal distribution. Results: When the relationship between the FMS scores of the students who took swimming lessons and the 25-meter freestyle swimming degrees was examined, a negative correlation and statistically significant relationship was found between the swimming degrees and the left hurdle step score (r=-0.656, p=0.021) and the FMS total score (r=-0.694, p=0.012). Conclusion: As a result, the FMS total scores of all the students who took swimming lessons participating in the study are above the critical limit of 14 points, and therefore it is safe to state that the participants have a low risk of injury. With the correct application of movement patterns with the help of FMS of the athletes, an increase in swimming performance can be achieved through developing swimming techniques. FMS can be a performance determinant. Keywords: Swimming, Functional Movement Screen, Swimming Degrees, Swimming Performance

Authors: Rivedal Mariell , Lunde Haaskjold Yngvar , Berit Guttormsen Anne , Midtvedt Karsten , Knoop Thomas
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Kidney transplant recipients have an increased risk of a severe clinical course and mortality due to coronavirus disease 2019 compared to that in the average population, and their treatment options are limited because reduced immunosuppression may lead to graft rejection. Herein, we describe a successful therapeutic regime in a kidney transplant recipient who suffered from coronavirus disease 2019-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Case Report: In this case report, we describe the course and management of a kidney transplant recipient who had severely reduced graft function (estimated glomerular filtration rate: 10–14 mL/min/1.73 m2) and acquired hypogammaglobulinemia and was consequently hospitalized and treated for severe coronavirus disease 2019. She presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, followed by increasing dyspnea, which rapidly progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome. During hospitalization, she was treated under a ventilator (prone positioning) and with convalescent plasma, dexamethasone, careful monitoring of immunosuppression, continuous venovenous hemofiltration, and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Owing to successful treatment, the patient was discharged from the hospital after 74 days in a good condition and with a well-functioning kidney graft.

Conclusion: Convalescent plasma, dexamethasone, monitoring of immunosuppression, continuous venovenous hemofiltration, and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation might be effective therapeutic options in kidney transplant recipients and other immunosuppressed patients with coronavirus disease 2019-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Implant–prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients with various forms of bone atrophy is a current challenge in oral implantology. The aim of the study is to evaluate the bone volume obtained after grafting procedures using cortical blocks according to the Khoury technique. Material and methods: The study was focused on 10 patients with atrophies of the alveolar ridges that required procedures to create the bone supply for implant– prosthetic rehabilitation. The latter were performed using the Khoury technique, using laminated blocks installed at a distance from the recipient area, filling the space created with autogenous bone (50% of cases) and in combination with xenograft (50% of cases). Following the analysis of the data calculated on CBCT, the presence of a bone ridge with a thickness of 4.54±0.28mm (at 1mm apical from the top of the ridge) and 6.5±0.4mm (at a depth of 4mm) was determined. In 8 out of 10 patients, the implants were inserted in the same session, due to the possibility of fixing them in the apical part. Results: Following the surgery, the obtained thickness of the ridge was assessed at the same levels determined preoperatively, which constituted on average 9.5±0.26mm (at 1mm subcrestal) and 10.85±0.29mm (at 4mm depth) . At the end of the healing period, at the same levels the width of the ridge decreased by 0.51±0.14mm and 0.63±0.17mm (p> 0.05), and was obtained 8.99±0.28mm and 10.22± 0.26mm. Conclusions: Following the analyzed data, the creation of bone supply through autogenous blocks (Khoury technique) allows to obtain predictable results and a suitable bone bed for the insertion of dental implants. If the alveolar ridge is atrophied (thin) only in the coronary portion (in 8 cases out of 10), and the apical portion is thick enough, the insertion of dental implants simultaneously with the grafting procedure does not affect the graft integration.

The deep dental decay represents the last stage of carious disease, characterized by extensive affectation of hard dental tissues, capturing the deep layers of the dentin (parapulpal dentin) and represents the most severe stage of demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues of the tooth. The higher rate of the complications of the deep dental decay treatment motivates the creation of new remedies and algorithms of work, which will ensure the formation of a tertiary dentin pontoon in order to isolate the pulpal body from decay cavity. Thus, the effect of reducing pulpal inflammation would ensure a high effectiveness of the treatment.

novel algorithm for predicting adverse drug-drug interaction
Authors: Savitha P Margaret , Rani M Pushpa
Published: July 2022

Molecules are the fundamental units of any chemical compound. A drug is a predefined composition of chemical compounds which is expected to produce a target biological behavior.  Drug error is a term used to indicate a scenario where one drug increases or decreases the effect of another drug when both are present inside the human body. This may be either due to pharmacodynamics (effect or action of a drug) or pharmacokinetics (movement of a drug within the body) or both. The results are painful as a person can suffer from serious disability or health hazard. The problem is mainly due to human error while prescribing and lack of efficient systems that can aid in automatic diagnosis of interacting drugs. Most of the issues that a patient undergoes or becomes a victim due to polypharmacy can be avoided and prevented. What we lack is an intelligent system that can predict the adverse interaction of poly drugs and raise an alarm to the medical team. This can be a live saver.  This paper attempts to propose a model based on machine learning that can predict adverse drug-drug interaction.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Pharmacovigilance as the science & activities relating to detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug related problem. The National Pharmacovigilance Programme (NPVP) was launched in 2004 with World Bank funding till 2009, which was renamed as Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI). With advancement in the field of science and technology, India is emerging as a hub for clinical trials and new drug development, which challenges the monitoring of safety concerns in the use of new drugs. It has been difficult to identify or track the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that occur in the patients due to polypharmacy, use of over the counter (OTC) preparations, change in physician etc. Hence the national programme has gained importance in our country off late. Yet it is observed that the importance of this programme is not realized by all health care professionals. Therefore, to support & strengthen the national programme which aims to identify, report & analyze the identified ADRs, it would be essential to sensitize the health care professionals through various means & faculty development programmes.

Having read about the different ways of communicating in detail, we find the need and importance it has in our daily lives. Communication in early days has also been of great importance and standard, where people had specific ways and languages to communicate to their people in society. This type of communication or vernacular language sometimes results in conflicts among people in the surrounding environment or vicinity. Without communication, no human can survive in this planet. We all inherit our ancestral language easily right from the time we were born, and still have the ability to adapt and learn new languages for communication when in a foreign place. This makes us unique from animals in the way of communication and knowledge.

Among many countries in the world, India is considered as the greatest agricultural producer. On the other hand, the water consumption in India for agricultural purposes is highest in the world. It leads to water deficit in the country. The development of agriculture in India improves crop yields and reduces water use. Water is the important key factor for any form of life on Earth which includes humans, animals and plants. Among these plants consume more world’s water resources. The amount of water intended for irrigation represents 70% of the total water Irrigation forms one of the primary components of agriculture and food-production. Huge volume of water is wasted in Agriculture due to outdated techniques in Agriculture irrigation field. In order to reduce water consumption without decreasing the crop yields, there are many modern technologies available, Among the many technologies, LoRa technology has many advantages like long rage wireless communication, low power consumption, compact size etc… This project is to present several efficient irrigation systems using “LoRa   based wireless sensor networks”, which consists of soil moisture sensor, soil temperature sensor, light sensor, water flow sensor, 3 phase voltage sensor and current sensor.

Background & objectives-The neonatal mortality continues to remain high. Early identification of high risk babies can decrease it. In areas where health care services are poorly retrieved, it becomes difficult to identify these babies. Study was done to assess the feasibility of foot length in identifying these neonates and also to find out it’s correlation with other anthropometric parameters. Methods- This cross-sectional study was conducted over 753 newborns over duration of 1 year. All singleton babies between 32-38 weeks of gestation within 72 hours of birth were included. Foot length was measured by non-stretchable measuring tape from posterior most prominence of foot to the tip of longest toe of right foot. Results- Amongst all, 37.6% were preterm and 58.8% were low birth weight. The mean ±SD of foot length for pre-term and term was 6.90±0.28 and 7.42±0.26 respectively. All parameters were significant (P<.001) according to gestational age. The mean of anthropometric parameters were higher in term neonates (P<0.0001). Males had higher values of foot length and body weight. There was a significant positive correlation of foot length with body weight and gestational age (0.773, 0.694 respectively). Foot length contributed significantly to weight.

Od Riœurove biblijske hermeneutike prema tjelesnoj hermeneutici
Authors: Šimić Krešimir
Published: July 2022

Paul Ricoeur je svojom fenomenološkom hermeneutikom izvršio značajan utjecaj na biblijsku egzegezu. U radu se stoga prvo analizira njegova studija Biblical Hermeneutics (1975.) u kojoj su egzemplificirane osnovne točke Ricoeurove hermeneutike i njezine primjene na biblijske tekstove. Iako se drži da je takva hermeneutika važan korektiv tzv. strukturalističke ideologije za koju autonomija teksta podrazumijeva potpuno dokidanje referencijalne dimenzije jezika, u članku se ističe da ona nije dostatna i da zanemaruje inkarnacijsku logiku. Stoga se sugerira da biblijska hermeneutika treba ne samo pisani tekst vratiti diskursu nego uputiti u Tijelo, koje nije puka interpretativna zajednica, već događanje »novog stvaranja«. Bivanjem u Tijelu »rađa« se jedna nova – tjelesna hermeneutika.
