Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jung Young Mi , Kim Na Young
Published: November 2022

Objectives We conducted this study to identify the knowledge and educational needs for nursing college students for the management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and provide basic data for developing education programs on infection control. Methods The data collected from 218 nursing students between December 8 and 31, 2020, data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0 program to calculate frequency, average, and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient. Results As per the knowledge of nursing students on COVID-19 infection control, ‘wearing and taking off personal protective gear’ ranked the highest, and “management of hospital room environment, cleaning, and disinfection” ranked the lowest. The average score of COVID-19 infection control educational needs of nursing students was the highest, followed by ‘personal hygiene’ ‘prevention of infection path and spread’ ‘response guidelines’ and ‘wearing and taking off personal protective gear’. There was a very low correlation between COVID-19 infection control knowledge and educational needs. Conclusions To cope with infectious diseases in clinical practice, specific and professional knowledge on COVID-19 infection control should be provided to nursing students, and customized education programs should be introduced, focusing on educational content that meets high educational needs.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Ji-ni , Bang Hyo-kook
Published: November 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family health, family health, and parenting attitudes of fathers with early childhood children. Methods As for the research method, data were collected using the father's original family health, family health, and parenting attitude test tools, and after conducting a preliminary survey of 10 fathers, the main survey was conducted. A questionnaire was distributed to fathers of kindergarten students in K city, Gyeonggi-do, and a total of 244 fathers were studied, excluding 28 unfaithful out of 272 collected questionnaires. For the analysis method, descriptive statistical analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 26. Results As a result of the study, the father’s family of origin health, the family health, then parenting attitudes of Fathers were found. This can be interpreted to mean that the father perceives the current family relationship positively and perceives it as a positive experience with the family of origin. On the other hand, the parenting attitude is relatively low, suggesting the need to supplement the child rearing attitude. As a result of examining the relationship between father's family health, family health, and parenting attitude, each factor showed a positive correlation. The relationship between sub-factors generally showed a positive correlation, but the controlling attitude showed a negative correlation. This can be interpreted that fathers with high control attitude scores have low family health and family health scores. Conclusions It was found that the parenting attitude of fathers with young children has an important relationship between the health of the family of origin and the health of the family. This suggests that it is necessary to expand fathers' participation in educational institutions for active participation of fathers and the formation of desirable parenting attitudes. Finally, the results of this study are meaningful as basic data for data development for fathers.

Published: November 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of auditory noise on the reading performance of high school students. Methods To this end, 171 high school students were divided into three groups according to auditory noise conditions to perform a reading task asking for word, factual, inferential, and critical comprehension. The effect of auditory noise on reading performance was analyzed through the effect size between groups. Also, the difference in reading performance according to gender and grade was analyzed through the effect size. Results First, the average score of the reading task was the lowest in the group that heard construction noise, and the highest in the group that listened to popular songs, but the effect size between the groups without noise in both groups was small. Second, female students had a greater positive effect on reading task when they listened to popular songs than male students. Third, in the case of 1st and 2nd graders, regardless of the noise source, higher average scores were obtained when performing the reading task in an environment in which auditory noise was heard than when performing it in a quiet environment. On the other hand, in the case of 3rd graders, unpleasant noise had a negative effect on reading task, which was found to have a medium effect size. In addition, the positive influence of popular songs was smaller in the 3rd grade compared to the 1st and 2nd graders. Conclusions It is necessary to investigate the effect of the reader's external environment, such as auditory noise, on reading in more detail, and to explore clues to establish a physical environment in which the reader can fully demonstrate reader's reading ability.

Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of most effective trap among two types of sticky traps of, i.e., card or tray of two colours (yellow and blue) and their placement height within wheat crop for catching alate of R. maidis, the most abundant aphid species in selected locations. Methodology: Sticky card and tray traps of two colours; yellow and blue were placed at different heights within wheat crop and the effects of trap parameters (type, colour and height) were evaluated to determine the trapping efficiency of R. maidis alate. The traps were installed at two heights above ground level; 100 cm and 150 cm at Karnal and Ludhiana and at 60 cm and 120 cm above ground level at Niphad location. Alate aphid counts were recorded weekly to make comparisons. Results: The highest number of R. maidis alate were caught on yellow coloured sticky card traps placed within the crop canopy at 100 cm height above ground and the lowest on blue coloured sticky tray traps at 150 cm height above ground at Ludhiana and Karnal. At Niphad, the highest population was caught on yellow coloured sticky card traps placed at 60 cm height above ground and the lowest number on blue coloured sticky tray traps at 120 cm height above ground. Correlation analysis revealed that all three trap parameters (trap type, colour and placement height) were correlated with mean alate trap catches. Backward stepwise regression modelling indicated that trap type and placement height had a maximum influence on the R. maidis alate trapping. Interpretation: This study indicated that the yellow sticky card traps were most effective in catching R. maidis alate as compared to other tested traps.

Aim: The present study was conducted to identify the morphological, pathological and molecular variations in isolates of Rhizoctonia bataticola, causing dry root rot of chickpea collected from different parts of Madhya Pradesh, India. Methodology: The isolation, purification and identification of Rhizoctonia bataticola isolates was done from dry root rot infected chickpea plants, collected from 23 districts of Madhya Pradesh, India. Total 32 isolates of pathogen were obtained and further used for morphological, cultural, pathological and molecular characterization. The acquired data were subjected to DARwin5 software analysis for variability studies. The DNA isolates of the pathogen were also obtained and analysed to study molecular variability by RAPD analysis and the bands produced were subjected to PAST software for cluster analysis. Results: Thirty two isolates of R. bataticola with diverse origin showed a large variation in shape, size and initiation time of sclerotia. These isolates were pathogenic and grouped into three categories; highly virulent (59%), moderately virulent (25%) and less virulent (16%), under artificially inoculated conditions in sick soil method. The study of pathogenic variability revealed that ICC12441, ICC11332 and Pusa 212 were susceptible to all the isolates evaluated, whereas ICC12450, Pusa362, Pusa1103 showed moderate resistance against maximum isolates. Based on molecular characterization, the isolates were grouped into four clusters indicating that no two or more isolates were similar. Interpretation: The isolates of R. bataticola of chickpea from different agro-climatic zones of Madhya Pradesh, possess variability in their morphological and cultural characteristics, which not limited to geographical boundaries. The present study would be extremely useful for dry root rot management, as well as, in identifying donors for resistance breeding programmes.

Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the seasonal variations of density, biomass and community characteristics of earthworms in two different types of forest at Minkong area, Mokokchung. Methodology: The survey was conducted during the period from January 2019-February 2020 in two areas viz., mixed forest and plantation. Standard methods were followed to determine the ecological categories of earthworms, density and biomass, relative abundance and species richness as well as for determination of different soil parameters viz., pH, moisture, bulk density, organic carbon, total and available nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium. Results: 12 number earthworm species viz., Amynthas corticis (Kinberg), Amynthus gracilis (Kinberg), Drawida assamensis (Gates), Drawida hodgarti (Stephenson), Drawida nepalensis (Michaelsen), Drawida sp., Eutyphoeus assamensis (Stephenson), Eutyphoeus festivus (Gates) Metaphire houlleti (Perrier), Perionyx excavatus (Perrier), Perionyx simlaensis (Michaelsen) and Pontoscolex corethurus (Müller) were recorded. Dominant earthworm species in both the areas were D. nepalensis, P. excavatus, Drawida sp. and E. festivus. The Shannon diversity, Simpson diversity and Pielou’s species evenness were 2.17, 0.87 and 0.87 in mixed forest and 2.05, 0.86, 0.86 in plantation. The earthworm density and biomass were greater in plantation (276.74 ind m-2 and 338.47g m-2) compared to mixed forest (230.52 ind m-2 and 254.55 g m-2). Interpretation: As earthworm community characteristics differ depending on the type of forest, therefore, earthworm’ sdiversity and its indices can be used as an ecological indicator of anthropogenic disturbances and can help designing conservation programs for reclaiming the depleted areas.

Aim: The North-Eastern Region (NER) of India is endowed with enormous variability in genetic resources of smooth gourd. The present investigation was carried out to assess the hereditary variation and determine the trait relatedness in a collection of smooth gourd germplasm. Methodology: The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with thirty-three smooth gourd germplasm consisting of thirty germplasm collected from Assam, two collected from Nagaland while another (Pusa Sneha) collected from IARI, New Delhi. Genetic variability parameters were estimated using standard statistical methodology. Results: The percent estimates of both genotypic coefficient of variability (31.36) and phenotypic coefficient of variability (31.83) were found to be the largest in respect of primary branches per plant. Higher estimates of both heritability in broad sense (>60%) and genetic advance as per cent of mean (>20%) were observed for the traits. Marketable fruit yield per plant had highly significant positive correlation with the number of primary branches, internodes, female flowers and fruits per plant and the weight of fruit. At genotypic level, path analysis revealed large direct effects of fruits per plant and fruit weight on marketable fruit yield. Interpretation: High h2 coupled with high GAM observed for the characters substantiates that inheritance of these characters could largely be due to genes with additive effects. Simple selection methods such as mass selection without progeny testing would be efficient for improving the population with respect to such characters. Selecting plants having higher mean values for genetically correlated traits would enhance the marketable fruit yield. Key words: Correlation, Heritability, Smooth gourd, Variability

Aim: The aim of the study is to provide current conservation status of IUCN listed critically endangered species, Catamixis baccharoides, and to study the population density of species in three major locations: Biyasi, Rajaji National Park near Mansa devi in Uttarakhand and Mohand in Uttar Pradesh. Methodology: Two concurrent field surveys during April - May 2018 and March - May 2021, were conducted for population study of Catamixis baccharoides. Belt transect method was used for biomass evaluation of species at all three locations and sampling were done using transect path of 1000 m (20 m wide). Plants habit, morphology and phenology were described on the basis of field observation. Population density of the species in sample survey was determined and seeds were collected for germination test. Results: The population of plant in first survey 2018 was compared with 2021 survey and other previous survey conducted by other authors, and observed that there was sudden decease in plant density from 11 plants to zero in Biyasi location and the population was steady in Mohand (6 plants) and Mansa Devi (24 plants) Rajaji National Park Haridwar. Seeds seem to be recalcitrant in nature. Interpretation: Catamixis baccharoides, also known as “Vish-Patri”, an endemic monotypic shrub of Asteraceae family and is categorized in critically endangered category under IUCN. The population of this species is declining at an alarming rate from its natural habitat in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. In Biyasi location Uttarakhand, the population of species had vanished due to anthropogenic disturbances and ignorance during Char Dham road project and is decreasing rapidly in other locations. However, the medicinal and economical vantage of C. baccharoides is yet unexplored so, there is a need to take necessary steps to conserve the species in its natural habitat.

Authors: Suparakchinda Chomsorn , rawangban worawat
Published: November 2022

Objectives: To study the effectiveness of Sucralfate suspension oral
rinse compared to normal saline alone for pain reduction and wound
healing promotion in open oral surgical wounds. The primary outcome of
this study was postoperative pain VAS score reduction. The secondary
outcome was wound healing promotion based on wound grade and maximal
wound length reduction Study Design: Randomized controlled trial
Setting: Department of Otolaryngology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial
Hospital Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients with secondary
healing intraoral surgical wound were enrolled in this study. Sucralfate
suspension (1g/5ml) was prescribed to a randomized experimental group as
an oral rinse every 6 hours for 14 days in addition to standard
postoperative care. Postoperative pain VAS score, wound grade and wound
length were collected and compared with baseline from initial to final
visit during a 2-week period. Results: The mean change of VAS score was
significantly lower from baseline in the Sucralfate group at day3 (-0.77
in control and -2.15 in Sucralfate, p<0.05) and day 7 (-2.15
in control and -3.62 in Sucralfate, p<0.05). Wound grade
distribution over time was the same in both Sucralfate and control
groups. The mean change of wound length was not significantly different
between the two groups. No adverse reaction to Sucralfate was reported
during the study participation. Conclusions: Sucralfate suspension oral
rinse can be recommended as an effective topical analgesic solution in
postoperative secondary healing of intraoral wound with no significant
interference. Benefits to wound healing promotion have yet to be proven.

Authors: Zhang Yalan , Chen Ruijia , Hong Wencong , Xu Wentan , Hu Yingying
Published: November 2022

Background: In the first-line treatment of BTCs, XELOX has shown
comparable clinical efficacy and safety to GEMOX, with fewer visits and
better treatment management. Our study aims to investigate the
cost-effectiveness of XELOX and GEMOX as the first-line therapy for BTCs
from the perspective of the United States healthcare systems and
provides valuable suggestions for clinical drug treatment decisions.
Methods: A Markov model was developed using the Phase 3 randomized
clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01470443) to evaluate the
cost-effectiveness of XELOX and GEMOX. Quality-adjusted life-years
(QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were used as
the primary outcomes of the model. Using univariate and probabilistic
sensitivity analyses to assess the uncertainty. Results: The QALYs for
the XELOX and GEMOX groups were 0.66 and 0.54, respectively. The
additional cost of XELOX treatment was US$493.30 in the United States
and ICER was US $4333.28/QALY, which was far below the threshold of
willingness to pay (US$50,000 /QALY). The XELOX therapy was confirmed
as a stable economic advantage by sensitivity analysis in the United
States. Conclusions: XELOX, compared with GEMOX, is a more
cost-effective treatment as the first-line treatment for advanced BTCs
from the perspective of the United States health service system.

Drug treatment in elderly patients is a challenge for healthcare
systems. This challenge is exacerbated by age-related changes in
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, multimorbidity, frailty and
cognitive impairment. Moreover, old patients are commonly exposed to
polypharmacy, leading to increased risk of drug interactions, adverse
drug reactions, and higher costs for the healthcare systems. Thus, the
complex task of prescribing medications to older polymedicated patients
encourages the use of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). This
paper evaluates the CDSS miniQ for identifying potentially inappropriate
prescribing in older adults with polypharmacy and to assesses the
usability and acceptability of miniQ in health care professionals,
patients, and caregivers. It describes how useful is CDSS miniQ system
for Primary Care physicians, as well as for patients and their
caregivers to know their medications. The discussion emphasizes how this
system is useful to improve the prescribing process and reduce errors.
A geoheritage valuation to prevent environmental degradation of a new volcanic landscape in the Canary Islands
Authors: Ferrer Nicolás , Vegas Juana , Galindo Inés , Lozano Gonzalo
Published: November 2022

On 19 September 2021, a new monogenetic volcano (Tajogaite) erupted on
the island of La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain). After 86 days of
strombolian eruption, with emissions of volcanic material, a pyroclastic
cone 200 m high and 800 m in diameter was formed. Successive lava flows
descended the western slopes and reached the sea on 29 September. On
descending the coastal cliffs and entering the sea, the lava flows
formed two lava deltas of 75 and 5 ha, on the submarine island shelf,
backed by fossilized coastal cliffs. This work presents an approach,
using comparative and numerical methods, to estimate the geoheritage
value and support the conservation of a new volcanic landscape in an
island territory with high anthropic pressure on land uses. In a first
phase, a cartographic inventory was made of all the volcanic formations
similar to the new volcano in the geological domain of the Canary
Islands. In a second phase, their representativeness (A), rarity (R),
diversity (D), integrity (I) and observability (O) was quantitatively
measured by means of dimensional estimators. The results obtained show
that the new volcano presents a geological value of the first order in
the context of the Canary Islands, which is one of the most prominent
hot-spot archipelago worldwide. Its value is based above all on its high
conservation state with respect to the similar volcanoes in the Canary
Islands. The high mismatch found between the intrinsic geological value
and the environmental protection of this area, justifies the development
and application of urgent basic guidelines for its protection, as well
as the promotion of geotourism as opposed to alternative land uses.
Type identification and potential evaluation of rural idle residential renovation: A case study of Yuzhong County, Longzhong Loess Hilly Region, China
Authors: Ma Libang , Tao Tianmin , Yao Yao , Li Yawei
Published: November 2022

The land problem is the key to the implementation of the Rural
Revitalization Strategy, and the land suitability evaluation is the
basis for the renovation and classification of the rural idle
residential. Taking Yuzhong County in the Loess Hilly region of
Longzhong, China as the research area, this study integrated
multi-source data, such as rural residential ownership confirmation
data, survey data of land use, high-resolution remote sensing images,
and field research to construct an idle residential identification
matrix. According to the evaluation results of ecological protection
suitability, agricultural production suitability, and construction and
development suitability, we followed the principle of “ecology first,
agriculture second, after construction and setting,” and realize
renovation zoning of rural residents through the advantage type
identification method. The results show that the waste in rural
residential is serious, and there are significant phenomena of “one
household with two houses” and “one household with multiple houses.”
The renovation potential of 1700 idle rural residentials patches is
117.52 hm . In addition, there are significant
spatial differences in the suitability of rural residents in Yuzhong
County. The rational guidance and planning layout of rural residential
renovation can be realized by identifying the type of renovation by the
spatial combination of different land uses in terms of ecological
protection, agricultural production, and construction and development
suitability. This can provide an important decision-making basis for the
rational utilization of rural idle residential and national land-space
planning. Finally, the rural residential renovation should be guided by
the national land space planning. The government should do a good job in
the rural residential renovation planning, formulate a scientific plan
for the renovation, relocation, and reuse of rural “hollow houses.”
Adapting to local conditions, the government should gradually adjust and
optimize the layout of rural residential land, improve the comprehensive
utilization efficiency of rural land, stimulate the vitality of rural
land resources, and promote the rural revitalization and the improvement
of rural living environment.
End-To-End Deep Learning Based Tamil Handwritten Document Recognition and Classification Model
Authors: Vinotheni C. , Pandian S. Lakshmana
Published: November 2022

Handwritten recognition (HR) remains a challenging process in various
real-world applications. Tamil handwritten text recognition involves the
recognition of text in scanned images. Recognition of handwritten Tamil
characters is a tedious process because of the differences in sizes,
style and orientation angle. Prior studies concentrated on
character-level segmentation and each character was subsequently
classified. Segmentation is then used, first at the word level and
subsequently at the line level. The recently developed machine learning
(ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches can be utilized for Tamil HCR.
With this motivation, this paper presents an end-to-end deep
learning-enabled Tamil handwritten document recognition (ETEDL-THDR)
model. The ETEDL-THDR paragraph text recognition can be accomplished by
the use of two modules such as line segmentation and line recognition.
Initially, the ETEDL-THDR model enables the improvement of the quality
of the input images by the use of the median filtering (MF) technique.
To create meaningful regions, further line and character segmentation
activities are performed. Additionally, a deep convolutional neural
network-based MobileNet approach was applied to derive feature vectors.
At last, the water strider optimization (WSO) algorithm with a
bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model is applied to recognize
Tamil characters. An extensive experimental analysis of the ETEDL-THDR
model is carried out and the results showed that the ETEDL-THDR model
performed better than more recent methodologies with maximum accuracy of
98.48%, precision of 98.38%, a sensitivity of 97.98%, specificity of
98.27%, and F-measure of 98.35%.

Authors: Milosevic Vuk , Bogdanovic Veliborka , Kostic Dragan , Vasov Miomir
Published: November 2022

Architectural structures are one of the main components of architecture. This
is the reason why they are taught at every architectural study programme.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Nis
is no exception to this. With its strong background in civil engineering,
this faculty gives even more attention to the architectural structures than
most, and this has proven in practice to be a great advantage for its
students. With the rise and development of new technologies, architectural
structures are also being innovated and upgraded. However, new methods for
teaching architectural structures are still being explored and there has not
yet been an established direction for innovations in teaching architectural
structures. This paper aims to analyze possible techniques and tools that
could be used in enhancing teaching methodologies of architectural
structures with respect to modern technologies. The paper will first
present the need for innovation in teaching of architectural structures in
the context of digitalization. Then, virtual tours as one of the means of
digitalization will be analyzed and discussed. Next, architectural
structures as a topic will concisely be introduced and systematized. In
addition to this, teaching of architectural structures at the Faculty of
Civil Engineering and Architecture in Nis will be briefly displayed.
Finally, the possibilities for using virtual tours in teaching architectural
structures will be investigated. Special attention will be paid to analyzing
benefits, as well as limitations and possible problems of such an approach.
Based on this, conclusions about the use of virtual tours in teaching
architectural structures will be drawn and presented.

FRENCH CATHOLIC LITERARY REVIVAL: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND
Authors: Pomyluiko-Nedashkivska Halyna
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on the background of French Catholic literary revival of the first half of the XXth century. Among the fundamentals of the analysed phenomenon are distinguished three major ones: historical background, theological preconditions and the influence of purely literary predecessors of the XIXth century. The first one is presented through the research of French peculiarities of republican secularisation, its educational reforms and the social-cultural impact of the Dreyfus affair. The ecclesiastical context is described through the challenge of theological modernism and popes’ encyclicals as an attempt to deal with them. Specific French Catholic identity’s division between Gallicanism and Ultramontanism with its influence on the cultural context is also mentioned. Finally, the return of Christian spirituality and the birth of specific apophatic poetics are observed from symbolism of romanticists Chateaubriand and Lamartine through Baudelaire’s aesthetic of sin to decadent poetization of embodied evil and divided human soul of d’Aurervilly and Huysmans. Special emphasis is made on the tradition of political engagement of Catholic writers from J. de Maistre through Ch. Maurras to L. Bloy. Hence, Catholic literary revival is regarded as complex cultural, historical, theological and literary French phenomenon.

The aim of the study – to investigate immunological changes in patients with exacerbation of bronchial asthma with different severity and controllability depending on the presence of comorbid pathology. Materials and methods of research. The work is based on the analysis of data from a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination of 190 patients with exacerbation of asthma. The relative content of T–lymphocytes and their main subpopulations was determined on a flow cytofluorimeter FACS Calibur (Canada) by phenotyping lymphocytes with monoclonal antibodies (BECKMAN COULTER, USA) to surface membrane differentiation antigens (CD): CD3+19– (pan T-cells), CD4+–8+– (T−helpers/inducers), CD4–8+ (cytotoxic T lymphocytes), CD3–16+ (natural killers). To identify the imbalance of immunoregulatory subpopulations of T cells, the immunoregulatory index was calculated – the ratio of the number of CD4+8– Lf and CD4-8+ Lf. To calculate the absolute content in the peripheral blood of individual populations of Lf, leukogram indicators determined on the hematological analyzer ABH-miscros60, France were used. The proliferative activity of lymphocytes was evaluated in cultures of whole blood in the reaction of blast transformation of these cells with morphological accounting of the results. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using licensed software products included in the Microsoft Office Professional 2007 package, license Russian Academic OPEN No Level № 43437596 in Excel. Conclusions. In moderate asthma, the frequency of pathological changes in the T-system of immunity did not depend on the presence of comorbid pathology, as a rule. In severe asthma, an increase in the content of pan–T cells occurred 1.2 times more often than in moderate asthma, but this was not observed in people with concomitant pathology. In this group, the frequency of increasing the content of T–helpers and decreasing the content of cytotoxic T – cells in patients with severe asthma without concomitant diseases was 1.3 times more frequent than in patients with comorbid pathology. No pathological changes in the T–system were detected in patients with controlled asthma. In partially controlled asthma, these changes were registered 1.5 times more often than in controlled asthma, and in its uncontrolled course, the prevalence of pathological changes in the T–system of immunity was much higher than in the two previous groups. In patients with concomitant diseases, these changes, as a rule, had a higher frequency than in patients without comorbid pathology.
Brudd og sosial ekskludering i ulike barnefellesskap
Authors: Rosell Yngve
Published: November 2022

Denne artikkelen undersøker barns uttrykk for brudd og sosial ekskludering i ulike barnefellesskap gjennom videoobservasjoner av 134 interaksjoner mellom barn (4–5 år) under frilek. Datamaterialet er analysert ut fra en forståelse av barnehagen som et perseptuelt meningsfelt, fellesskapets ulike dimensjoner, tilhørighet og tilhørighetspolitikk og uttrykk for sosial mestring. Studien viser til at det foregår ulike skifter i grupperinger og etableringer av ulike barnefellesskap, der det også hyppig gis uttrykk for brudd og ekskluderinger. Barn gir uttrykk for tre former for sosial ekskludering (direkte, indirekte og planlagt), og sosial mestring uttrykkes som handlingsfokusert (eksempelvis forhandle/komme med forslag) og emosjonsfokusert (eksempelvis gråt/beskytte seg selv). Artikkelen diskuterer skiller mellom naturlige samspillsbrudd og ekskluderinger, barns personlige og kollektive ekskluderinger og sosial mestring, barnefellesskapenes innhold og grenser, og hvordan dette kan relateres til barnehagens arbeid med ekskludering og barns opplevelse av tilhørighet. 
Social exclusion and peer-communities in preschoolThis article explores children’s expression of social exclusion through 134 video observations of children’s (4–5 years of age) interactions during playtime in an ECEC-setting in Norway.  The data material is analyzed based on an understanding of the ECEC-setting as a perceptual field, different dimensions in the communities, politics of belonging and borderwork and social coping.  The article emphasizes an ongoing change in re-grouping and establishment of different communities between the children.

From the point of view of economic needs, many women today prefer to be career women as well as housewives. It has become an entrenched demand, and even more so during the Covid-19 pandemic, women are required to be multitalented. Meanwhile, in some families, patriarchal culture is still an obstacle to the limited movement of women. This study uses a qualitative analysis with ethnographic methods and an empirical sociological approach that uses the sociological theory of Patirim Sorokin, which focuses on three things, namely ideational culture, sensory culture, and mixed culture. This study concludes that the ideational culture or world view of patriarchal culture has been rooted in the archipelago since ancient times, where the main role of women is at home while men are more likely to work to provide for the family. However, in sensory culture, there are many couples who help each other or create gender equality for the realization of a harmonious and dynamic family. Mixed culture exists in many husbands and wives who both work and cannot share the time, energy and thoughts to pay attention to their children.
Perbedaan gender dalam memilih lembaga pendidikan ditinjau dari teori pilihan rasional James S. Coleman

In the educational process, the environment has a major influence in the formation of student behavior. The current education process in Indonesia seems to be still dominated by gender. In general, Indonesian people still hold the view that women are a second-class group and have a lower status than men. Whereas in the world of education, all humans, both men and women, are equally entitled to education. Education, which is a male and female field of study, is in fact more valued by men than women. This situation is caused by patriarchal views, especially the view that men have a higher position and qualification than women. Gender affects the motivation to choose an educational institution. This article discusses the differences between men and women in choosing an educational institution. Most men prefer the SMK (vocational high school) level and women choose SMA (general high school) because men think that after graduating, they will work with what they have acquired during the SMK. Meanwhile, on average, more women choose to continue their studies to college.
