Wer besucht ein mediendidaktisches Seminar und wer profitiert davon?
Authors: Pohlmann-Rother Sanna , Kindermann Katharina
Published: June 2023

Die Förderung medienpädagogischer Kompetenz angehender Lehrpersonen gilt als eine zentrale Aufgabe der universitären Lehrpersonenbildung. Lehrveranstaltungen in diesem Feld sind für die Lehramtsstudierenden allerdings meist nicht verpflichtend und auch der Erfolg solcher Lernangebote wird nur selten empirisch überprüft. In diesem Beitrag wird eine quantitativ angelegte wissenschaftliche Begleitstudie zu einem mediendidaktischen Seminar vorgestellt. Im Seminar entwickeln Lehramtsstudierende der Grundschuldidaktik eigenständig innovatives Unterrichtsmaterial in Form digitaler Bücher für Leseanfänger:innen mit sehr heterogenen Lernvoraussetzungen. Die Begleitstudie ist im Pretest-Posttest-Design (N = 99) konzipiert. Zudem wurden Studierende einer Vergleichsgruppe (N = 103) befragt, die sich für ein Seminar ohne digitale Ausrichtung entschieden haben. Die Studie fokussiert die mediendidaktischen Überzeugungen als zentralen und handlungsrelevanten Bereich medienpädagogischer Kompetenz. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen Selektionseffekt: Das mediendidaktische Seminarangebot wählen vor allem diejenigen Studierenden, die bereits vergleichsweise positiv ausgeprägte Überzeugungen zum Einsatz digitaler Medien im Grundschulunterricht haben. Diese Überzeugungen können durch den Besuch des Seminars signifikant in eine positive Richtung verändert werden. Besonders gross sind die Veränderungen bei denjenigen Studierenden, die dem Einsatz digitaler Medien zu Seminarbeginn vergleichsweise zurückhaltend gegenüberstanden. Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf die Bedeutung und Wirkungsmöglichkeiten mediendidaktischer Seminarangebote und erlauben die Ableitung von Implikationen für deren curriculare Verankerung und inhaltliche Ausgestaltung in der ersten Phase der Lehrpersonenbildung. Abschliessend wird das entgrenzende Potenzial des Seminarkonzepts mit Blick auf digital gestützte Lehr-Lernprozesse im Unterricht sowie die verschiedenen Phasen der Lehrpersonenbildung diskutiert.

Published: June 2023

The Ngali-Renda conflict is habituated. It has taken for years. It has grown in its severity. It is not the case that the people of Ngali and Renda and the government do nothing in dealing with the conflict. However, the conflict is still there and waiting its trigger to appear. This research is significant in that it analyzes the traditional factors and interventions of the conflict. Applying qualitative research and historical, socio-cultural and phenomenological approaches showed that the Ngali-Renda conflict transformed from ndempa (empty-handed fighting) to lewa (armed fighting). Ndempa implied the spirit of honesty, openness and patriotism. It occurred every year in rest period of cultivation and took one or two month. Although ndempa was kapoda ade (serious and violent), it was kadihi ade (no intention to do harm) and for play and pleasure. On the contrary, lewa was more violent and caused casualties because the fighters used big knifes, arrows and firearms.

The notion of liberation theology is a form of transformative theology that is concerned with issues of equality and social justice. The relationship amidst religion and politics is reciprocal due to there are conflicts of interest between both entities. The emergence of liberation theology itself arises because of the politicization of religion has become more acute and chronic so it needs to be transformed. The thought of liberation theology is basically grown in the famous case of Latin America with the spirit church of the poor. However, within Islam, it also found a similar essence that Islam also teaches that there egalitarianism, equality, and social justice. The article will elaborate on this comparison of liberation theology.

Islam had been the religion of the state in Turkey for many centuries, but it was disappeared when the type of the state was changed into republic in 1923. Turkey then has become a secular state and Islam has been depressed. However, when the political system in Turkey adopted multiparty and the party supported by Muslim community run the ruling government, Islam gradually has existed. This affected the Islamic education and schools, which have been sharply increased in number during the last 2 decades. This research was conducted to identify the quality control of education, the types of Islamic education and the role of government towards Islamic schools. By using techniques of documentation, observation and interview, this research indicated that: 1) the quality control of education in Turkey is done under ministry of national education; 2) the types of Islamic education are divided into public and private and  3) the role of government towards Islamic schools is not implemented straight forward, but through the policy in the Ministry of National Education addressed towards the public schools.
AN ISLAMIC SEARCH OF NOBLE VALUES: THE PREVALENCE OF MODERN PRINCIPLES AND THE RESILIENCE OF LOCAL TRADITIONS IN INDONESIAN DA‘WA
Authors: Suwarno Peter
Published: June 2023

The variety of da‘wa (Islamic preaching) in Indonesia indicated not only the diversity in Islamic groups and identities, but also the varieties and changes in values and principles embraced by Indonesian Muslims. This paper argued that these da‘wa activities constitute searches of most suitable Indonesian Islamic principles that inevitably include the negotiation of Islamic, global, and local values. For this purpose, this paper showed examples of various international and Indonesian Islamic scholars and leaders who help change social, political, and religious rhetorical landscape through various arguments involving especially Islamic and modern-international values. This paper maintained that, in addition to Muslims exposure to modern global principles such as democracy and human rights, the increasing popularity and resilience of local-traditional rituals, per­formances, and expressions in Indonesian da‘wa have significantly shaped the search of the Indonesian Islamic noble values.

Walisongo and the Notion of Abrasive Strategies in Countering Radicalism in Indonesia
Authors: Hapsin Abu
Published: June 2023

This paper focuses on the role of Walisongo in addressing religious radicalism in Indonesia. Religious radicalism has emerged due to excessive internet consumption in today’s technologically advanced world. Consequently, it necessitates serious efforts to tackle this issue, including exploring local knowledge to counteract religious radicalism behaviors. This qualitative study adopts a library research approach, incorporating diverse sources to explore theories and knowledge related to these phenomena. This study found the importance of implementing strategies that promote wise behavior and nonviolent approaches in reducing religious radicalism. These efforts primarily involve initiating a change in people’s mindset toward Islam. The success of the strategy to reduce the level of radicalism can be carried out through regional management (geographical considerations), arts management or cultural engagement, health management (medical aspects), fostering noble behavior (akhlāq al-karīmah), marriage alliances, and deepening religious knowledge.
Muhammadiyah and the Shifting Interpretation of Local Religious Traditions
Authors: Junaidi Akhmad Arif
Published: June 2023

The study focuses on changes in the religious interpretation of the Muhammadiyah, an Islamic mass organization in Indonesia, which initially sought to clear Islam from local religious traditions but then began to accept the tradition. This research is qualitative research, with documented methods and in-depth interviews, to explore to what extent these changes and the factors affecting them. The study reveals that Muhammadiyah began tolerating local religious traditions and emphasized the need to redefine religious purification. Factors such as less popular da’wah strategies in rural areas, and the emergence of young Muhammadiyah groups supporting liberalism and moderation, have influenced this shift. This study is important to advance scientific traditions, especially in relation to Muhammadiyah, and to make constructive contributions to formulating organizational policies in connection with local religious traditions.

Authors: Mudekhere Stephen Muchaki , Mugalavai Edward Musungu , Nabiswa Ferdinand M.
Published: June 2023

Due to the effects of climate change, farmers in Kajiado County have embraced different climate change adaptation strategies including the use of indigenous knowledge (IK) and scientific approaches. The objective of this study was to assess the determinants of farmers' IK practices influencing the uptake of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies (CCAS) in Kajiado County, Kenya. Using the Model of Private Proactive Adaptation to Climate Change (MPPACC), IK-related contextual factors that constituted the socio-demographic, economic, and geo-ecological variables were tested against the CCAS variable on Pearson Coefficient Correlation in determining associations. Multi-stage sampling was done and data were collected using questionnaires, key informant interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and observation checklists while data analysis involved the use of both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings show CCAS were likely to be adapted to by those with higher levels of education and those with higher levels of monthly income while those unwilling were more likely males, older, with larger household sizes. and those who owned land. The findings also showed that effective approaches including IK climate change adaptation practices and the CCAS can be applied in a complimentary manner to achieve the desired results in regions that possess diverse climatic and geophysical conditions.

Published: June 2023

Background/Objective:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is mainly characterized by amnesia that affects millions of people worldwide. This study aims to explore the effectiveness capacities of bee venom (BV) for the enhancement of the memory process in a rat model with amnesia-like AD.

Methods:

The study protocol contains two successive phases, nootropic and therapeutic, in which two BV doses (D1; 0.25 and D2: 0.5 mg/kg i.p.) were used. In the nootropic phase, treatment groups were compared statistically with a normal group. Meanwhile, in the therapeutic phase, BV was administered to scopolamine (1mg/kg) to induce amnesia-like AD in a rat model in which therapeutic groups were compared with a positive group (donepezil; 1mg/kg i.p.). Behavioral analysis was performed after each phase by Working Memory (WM) and Long-Term Memory (LTM) assessments using radial arm maze (RAM) and passive avoidance tests (PAT). Neurogenic factors; Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and Doublecortin (DCX) were measured in plasma using ELISA and Immunohistochemistry analysis of hippocampal tissues, respectively.

Results:

During the nootropic phase, treatment groups demonstrated a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in RAM latency times, spatial WM errors, and spatial reference errors compared with the normal group. In addition, the PA test revealed a significant (P < 0.05) enhancement of LTM after 72 hours in both treatment groups; D1 and D2. In the therapeutic phase, treatment groups reflected a significant (P < 0.05) potent enhancement in the memory process compared with the positive group; less spatial WM errors, spatial reference errors, and latency time during the RAM test, and more latency time after 72 hours in the light room. Moreover, results presented a marked increase in the plasma level of BDNF, as well as increased hippocampal DCX-positive data in the sub-granular zone within the D1 and D2 groups compared with the negative group (P < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion:

This study revealed that injecting BV enhances and increases the performance of both WM and LTM. Conclusively, BV has a potential nootropic and therapeutic activity that enhances hippocampal growth and plasticity, which in turn improves WM and LTM. Given that this research was conducted using scopolamine-induced amnesia-like AD in rats, it suggests that BV has a potential therapeutic activity for the enhancement of memory in AD patients in a dose-dependent manner but further investigations are needed.
Antidiabetic Attributes of Mushrooms
Authors: Kumar Dubey Sushil , Kumar Singh Vinay , Shyam Rahul , Prasad Singh Mohan
Published: June 2023

Mushrooms are macrofungi, with distinct mycelia structure, and fruiting
bodies, divided into stalk and cap that contains spores in most of the species. These
mushrooms are edible with diverse therapeutic applications. Old civilizations from
India, China, and Korea used these mushrooms to cure diseases, especially diabetes.
Diabetes is now a newly emerging pandemic, affecting people worldwide, with special
reference to developing countries. There are several medications available for the
management of diabetes, but their permanent treatment is still to be explored. Due to
synthetic medicines and their adverse effect, people are searching for natural
therapeutic agents. Many mushroom species have shown their potential to control
diabetes and its related complications, such as weight loss, lipidemia, hypertension, etc.
In this chapter, we have discussed five different mushroom species, i.e., Auricularia
auricula-judae, Agaricus bisporus, Ophiocordycep sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, and
Pleurotus species with their potential therapeutic application against diabetes and its
related complications.

Актуальність Дисфункція мейбомієвих залоз (ДМЗ) – хронічна дифузна патологія мейбомієвих залоз, зазвичай характеризується обструкцією вивідних протоків і/або якісною/кількісною зміною секреції залоз. Однією з причин її виникнення може бути порушення іннервації мейбомієвих залоз внаслідок діабетичної полінейропатії. Метою дослідження є обґрунтування необхідності підвищення ефективності діагностики патології передньої поверхні ока у пацієнтів з цукровим діабетом 2 типу та діабетичною полінейропатією.
Матеріали та методи. Стандартні методи офтальмологічного дослідження, тест Ширмера до та після 2 годин компресії повік, компресійний тест, мейбографія, IVAD, OPI, OSDI тести. У дослідженні приймали участь 72 пацієнти з цукровим діабетом 2 типу, що були розділені на 2 групи (1 група – 36 пацієнтів без діабетичної полінейропатії, 2 група – 36 пацієнтів з діабетичною полінейропатією). Контрольна група – 58 осіб без діабету.
Результати. Тест Ширмера у пацієнтів 2 групи (5,98 ± 0,35 мм) був зменшений в 2,3 рази у порівнянні з показником контрольної групи (13,92 ± 0,15 мм) (р<0,001). Проба Норна у пацієнтів 2 групи (4,47 ± 0,18 с) була нижче норми та у 2,1 разів менше, ніж у контрольній групі (9,49 ± 0,16 с) (р<0,001). Показник OPI-тесту у пацієнтів 2 групи був нижчим, ніж у групі контролю, в 1,9 рази (р<0,001). Дані мейбографії у пацієнтів 2 групи відповідали 4 ступеню тяжкості, а секреторна здатність залоз та якість секрету відповідала, в середньому, 3 ступеню і достовірно відрізнялась від такої у пацієнтів 1 та контрольної груп (0 ступінь).
Висновки. Пацієнти з діабетичною периферичною полінейропатією мають більш тяжкі зміни очної поверхні, ніж пацієнти з цукровим діабетом без проявів цього ускладнення. Категорія пацієнтів з діабетичною периферичною полінейропатією потребує більш ретельного обстеження та своєчасного призначення адекватної терапії, спрямованої на профілактику та лікування дисфункції мейбомієвих залоз, хвороби сухого ока тощо.

Authors: Jain Sumita , Chan Daniel , Khan Noufa , Park Yena , Cao Densen
Published: June 2023

Zinc pyrithione (ZPT) is used to prevent microbial degradation and deterioration of manufacturing starting materials such as plastics, polymers, and latexes. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-bacterial properties of ZPT. Currently, there is insufficient data on the effect of ZPT on viability of commonly encountered bacterial pathogens. We tested the efficacy of ZPT manufactured in the form of film rolls as an anti-bacterial protective layer by using the ASTM–recommended protocol on growth of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli. The bacterial cultures were added to three materials provided by Cao Inc. containing either the base with no active ingredient, ZPT-A, or different amounts of active ingredient, ZPT-B (2.5%) and ZPT-C (5%). Following overnight incubation, bacterial growth was assessed by counting their colony forming units (CFUs). Growth of both E. faecalis and E. coli were strongly inhibited by ZPT-B and ZPT-C relative to growth on the control ZPT-A. Inhibition of E. faecalis was close to complete by ZPT-B and ZPT-C while E. coli growth was inhibited by greater than 95% in a dose dependent manner. This is the first report of zinc pyrithione, here in the form of thin film, inhibiting growth of common bacterial pathogens. ZPT rolls therefore show promise as an effective antibacterial layer for use as a protective barrier, for example on door handles and counters, from clinical to global public health settings.
Comparison of Telephone and Video Telehealth Consultations: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Byambasuren Oyungerel , Greenwood Hannah , Bakhit Mina , Atkins Tiffany , Clark Justin , Scott Anna Mae , Glasziou Paul
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Telehealth has been used for health care delivery for decades, but the COVID-19 pandemic greatly accelerated the uptake of telehealth in many care settings globally. However, few studies have carried out a direct comparison among different telehealth modalities, with very few studies having compared the effectiveness of telephone and video telehealth modalities.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to identify and synthesize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing synchronous telehealth consultations delivered by telephone and those conducted by video with outcomes such as clinical effectiveness, patient safety, cost-effectiveness, and patient and clinician satisfaction with care.

METHODS

PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and CENTRAL were searched via the Cochrane Library from inception until February 10, 2023, for RCTs without any language restriction. Forward and backward citation searches were conducted on included RCTs. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool was used to assess the quality of the studies. We included studies carried out in any health setting—involving all types of outpatient cohorts and all types of health care providers—that compared synchronous video consultations directly with telephone consultations and reported outcomes specified in the objective. We excluded studies of clinician-to-clinician telehealth consults, hospitalized patients, and asynchronous consultations.

RESULTS

Sixteen RCTs—10 in the United States, 3 in the United Kingdom, 2 in Canada, and 1 in Australia involving 1719 participants—were included in the qualitative and quantitative analyses. Most of the telehealth interventions were for hospital-based outpatient follow-ups, monitoring, and rehabilitation (n=13). The 3 studies that were conducted in the community all focused on smoking cessation. In half of the studies, nurses delivered the care (n=8). Almost all included studies had high or unclear risk of bias, mainly due to bias in the randomization process and selection of reported results. The trials found no substantial differences between telephone and video telehealth consultations with regard to clinical effectiveness, patient satisfaction, and health care use (cost-effectiveness) outcomes. None of the studies reported on patient safety or adverse events. We did not find any study on telehealth interventions for diagnosis, initiating new treatment, or those conducted in a primary care setting.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on a small set of diverse trials, we found no notable differences between telephone and video consultations for the management of patients with an established diagnosis. There is also a significant lack of telehealth research in primary care settings despite its high uptake.

Authors: Salian Mahima
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Simultaneous equation technique has devised a simple, rapid, accurate, precise, and cost-effective spectrophotometric strategy for simultaneous estimation of Fluconazole and Thymol. Fluconazole and Thymol had absorbance maxima at 261 and 273 nm, respectively; hence absorbance was measured at these wavelengths for fluconazole and Thymol estimate. Fluconazole and Thymol followed Beer-Lambert's rule in concentration ranges of 20-140 g/ml and 20-100 g/ml, respectively. The technique was developed and verified in compliance with ICH guidelines and may be used to estimate Fluconazole and Thymol concentrations within formulations.

Abstract: Microorganisms, the friend and foe of human being are omnipresent in and around us. Innumerable pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms remain present on the floor surface with which we are in direct physical contact. These organisms include Salmonella, Rhinovirus, Herpes, Trichophyton, Giardia, E. coli, Micrococcus species etc. Most of the microbes are nonpathogenic when present in less quantity, but as their concentration increases, they are able to cause various diseases like Stomach upsets, diarrhea, Cold, Cold sores etc. To restrict the growth of such microbes in the surroundings including floors, various commercially available floor cleaners such as Phenylsare used. Present study is an attempt to isolate and identify the floor micro flora from home and laboratory and to observe the efficacy of different floor cleaners. According to Indian Medical Association phenyl, identified as the most effective disinfectant against the floor micro flora, and therefore they are considered as standards to analyze effectiveness of other commercial surface cleaners.

Fællesskabende samarbejder og deltagelsespositioner – udforskning af tilblivelser, udeblivelser og opløsninger
Authors: Bjergkilde Dorethe , Pallesen Eva
Published: June 2023

Fællesskaber ses i stigende grad som mulig løsning på velfærdsudfordringer som ensomhed, udsathed og eksklusion – ofte ud fra en antagelse om at den enkelte gennem deltagelse i fællesskaber kan overskride etablerede positioner. Der er derfor en øget interesse i at arbejde med fællesskaber fra både civilsamfundsaktører og kommuner. I artiklen undersøges betingelserne for tilblivelsen af nye borgerfællesskaber, som ikke er målgrupperettede, og som foregår inden for nogle forholdsvis bevægelige og åbne rammer. Analysen, der tager afsæt i procesontologi og trækker på liminalitets- og affektteori, peger på, at man både som deltager, facilitator og samarbejdspart omkring denne slags fællesskaber, kommer på et intensiveret arbejde med at afstemme og balancere affekter, følelser og strukturelle åbninger/lukninger. På denne baggrund peger artiklen bl.a. på behovet for at understøtte deltagerne i dette arbejde, og skabe rum for løbende refleksion om de valg og afgrænsninger, som også ’åbne’ fællesskaber hviler på.
