A study of the relationship between elementary school teachers’ occupational self-efficacy, emotional labor strategies and occupational well-being
Authors: Yan Shuo
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between primary school teachers’ occupational self-efficacy, emotional labor strategies, and job satisfaction. A questionnaire survey was conducted with primary school teachers in a certain city, and statistical analysis methods were used to obtain the research results. Firstly, primary school teachers generally have a high level of job satisfaction, with certain demographic differences. Among them, female teachers have higher job satisfaction than male teachers, and teachers with more years of experience show higher job satisfaction. Secondly, primary school teachers have overall good occupational self-efficacy, which is positively correlated with job satisfaction. That is, an increase in occupational self-efficacy can promote teachers’ job satisfaction. Additionally, primary school teachers generally adopt positive coping and expressive strategies in emotional labor. There is a certain correlation between emotional labor strategies and job satisfaction, with teachers who adopt positive coping and expressive strategies showing higher job satisfaction. Finally, occupational self-efficacy plays a mediating role between emotional labor strategies and job satisfaction. That is, the choice of emotional labor strategies is influenced by teachers’ occupational self-efficacy, which in turn affects their job satisfaction. This study provides empirical evidence for understanding the job satisfaction of primary school teachers and further reveals the mechanisms of the roles of occupational self-efficacy and emotional labor strategies in influencing teachers’ job satisfaction. The research results can provide relevant policies and measures for educational managers to promote the professional development and well-being of primary school teachers.

Authors: Guimarães Guilherme Brêtas , Sousa Gabrielle Izadora Ferreira de
Published: April 2024

O Transtorno Bipolar (TB) é uma condição psiquiátrica crônica que afeta aproximadamente 60 milhões de pessoas globalmente, sendo caracterizado por oscilações de humor que alternam entre depressão e mania/hipomania. A presença do Transtorno de Pânico (TP) como comorbidade em pacientes com TB é frequentemente relatada, aumentando a complexidade do manejo clínico devido aos desafios associados ao tratamento convencional com antidepressivos, os quais apresentam riscos de induzir episódios maníacos ou estados mistos. Neste contexto, a pregabalina, um anticonvulsivante com propriedades ansiolíticas, emerge como uma alternativa promissora devido ao seu perfil de segurança e eficácia. Embora o uso off-label da pregabalina para TB com TP seja considerado na prática clínica, a carência de estudos clínicos rigorosos limita sua recomendação formal. Este artigo revisa a literatura sobre o potencial terapêutico da pregabalina no tratamento do TP em pacientes com TB, destacando a necessidade de investigações mais profundas que possam orientar estratégias de tratamento seguras e eficazes para esta população.

Authors: Assilbekov Bakytzhan K. , Kalzhanov Nurlykhan E. , Bekbau Bakbergen E. , Bolysbek Darezhat A.
Published: April 2024

Porosity, absolute permeability and diffusion coefficient are important characteristics of the flow of fluids in the pore space of rocks, the determination of which is resource-intensive and time-consuming. With the development of deep machine learning methods over the past 3–4 years, artificial neural networks have begun to be actively used in determining the transport properties of the “liquid-porous medium” system and the geometric characteristics of the pore space of samples based on their images. This method allows you to quickly determine the desired properties with acceptable accuracy. Therefore, the question arises about the effectiveness and adequacy of deep machine learning methods for these purposes.
This article provides a scientific review of open literature sources on the determination of absolute permeability, diffusion coefficient and porosity from images obtained by different scanning methods. We also used our own data, namely images for 4 carbonate samples, and presented the results of predicting the connected porosity of these samples based on their X-ray images using the convolutional neural network model we built.
The review showed that images of rock samples obtained using various scanning methods make it possible to calculate their transport properties with high reliability in a significantly short time. This means that deep machine learning can be a good alternative tool for calculating the properties of rock samples based on their images. The model we built showed the predictive ability of the porosity of 3 carbonate samples with a reliability coefficient of 0.936–0.976.

Published: April 2024

In oil and gas production, treatment and transportation technologies, gas hydrates cause serious problems associated with disruption of these technological processes. The traditional and most common method of combating gas hydrates in the oil and gas industry is the use of methanol as a hydrate inhibitor. The specific consumption indicators of methanol consumption as an inhibitor of the formation of gas hydrates directly depend on the composition of the extracted products, as well as on the technology for preparing the extracted products for transportation.
Gas hydrates represent one of the major economic and safety problems in the oil and gas industry in the exploration, production, processing and transportation of gas and hydrocarbons.
This article analyzes modern methods for methanol regeneration at oil and gas industry enterprises, and describes in detail the methods and parameters of processing plants that are used for the regeneration of water-methanol solutions. The advantages and disadvantages of advanced methods of water-methanol solutions regeneration are described. As a result of the review of existing technologies, the distillation method was determined to be the most preferable, as the most proven and widely used method today.

Published: April 2024

Based on geological and geophysical data, a lithological and stratigraphic section of the basement and sedimentary cover of the Alakol basin was compiled, detailing the lithological and paleogeographic settings. Oil source rocks, reservoirs and seals are identified. The tectonic zoning scheme is substantiated, the structural characteristics of the faults and the lithologic-facial features of the section are given. A complex multi-stage tectonic evolution has been identified. Potentially promising stratigraphic oil and gas complexes have been identified – Jurassic (Mesozoic) and Upper Devonian (Famennian) – Lower Carboniferous-Permian (Paleozoic). The deep structure of the region is illustrated by a geological and geophysical section. The correlation of the stratigraphic range of hydrocarbon potential of the Alakol basin was carried out. A probabilistic forecast for the search for crude hydrocarbons is substantiated. On this geological and geophysical basis, the design of the borehole was developed and its position for opening the cover and basement rocks was outlined.

Background: The conservation of valuable bacterial strains is crucial for various scientific, industrial, and environmental applications. Microorganisms with oil-emulsifying and oil-displacing properties are potentially significant for biotechnologies applied in the oil industry, particularly in such areas as bioremediation and tertiary enhanced oil recovery. To supply enterprises with pure cultures of microorganisms, they should be constantly maintained in the collection conditions in an active state while monitoring the preservation of their biotechnological properties. Therefore, keeping microorganism strains in working conditions and preserving their valuable properties are important for almost any work with microorganisms, ranging from primary research to their use in the production of various biopreparations.
Aim: The article focuses on studying a method for preserving bacteria that are useful in the oil industry. This method involves modifying the technique of microencapsulating microorganism cells in alginate gel by adding glycerin, which is used as an agent with biostatic action.
Materials and methods: The subject of research are eight hydrocarbon-oxidizing cultures of microorganisms that were sourced from the Department of Biotechnology of the al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Of these, four cultures were spore-bearing, while the other four were non-spore-bearing. The research employed microbiological methods of cultivation and storage of microorganisms in both solid and liquid media under aerobic conditions. In addition, Cooper's method was used to determine oil emulsification index and statistical methods for data analysis.
Results: It has been found that adding glycerin (15% vol.) as a biostatic to the gel-forming matrix of sodium alginate can ensure long-term (up to 6 months) cell viability for the studied bacteria in the range of 88-96% while maintaining functionality of immobilized cells. The values of the bacteria’s oil emulsification remained at the pre-conservation levels, whereas traditional storage methods result in a lower number of viable cells after six months. It should be noted that after six months of being stored in encapsulated form with glycerin, the viability of non-sporе-forming Pseudomonas cultures is lower (88-91%) than spore-forming Bacillus (95-98%). This correlation is also is observed for traditional methods.
Conclusion: The modern method of preserving bacteria allows for their long-term storage while maintaining functionality and viability.

Authors: Ocieczek Grzegorz
Published: April 2024

This article highlights issues related to corruption in Poland. The definition of corruption is examined in national and international terms, for example, as developed by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) or the World Bank. This study contributes to the discussion of the scale of corruption as well as on the effectiveness of anticorruption agencies. Particular attention has been paid to one of the leading special services entites, the Central Anticorruption Bureau, which was established on 9 June 2006 to address the deepening corruption in both the economic and political life in Poland. The study also examines the role of the prosecutor’s office and the efforts to transform its organisational structure to effectively and efficiently combat crime, particularly those related to corruption. In addition, relevant statistics on the effectiveness of anticorruption measures are presented. The fundamental research problem is to understand the current scale of corruption in Poland. The main hypothesis focuses on determining whether the level of corruption has decreased or remained constant since the beginning of the socio-economic transition. This study used the detailed research method—primarily statistics (desk research). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews conducted by the Centre for Public Opinion Research (CBOS). The article ends with conclusions and postulates de lege futura.

Homeland and Other Homes: A Parallel Study of the Portrayal of Female Diasporas in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane and Adib Khan’s Seasonal Adjustments
Authors: Faruque Farhin
Published: April 2024

The diaspora writers miss what they cannot experience back home and so they write; they write about the memories they can never make, the moments they can never relive, and the “home” they can never actually call home. Monica Ali and Adib Khan’s representation of homeland in their respective novels Brick Lane and Seasonal Adjustments is rather predictable; the same age-old abused East which is a place to be nostalgic about but not a place to settle in. Where Ali’s protagonist Nazneen struggles to create a “home” around her domestic world in London, she does find the freedom, never allowed to her back in Bangladesh. On the contrary, Khan’s minor character Nadira in Seasonal Adjustments has a successful career and life in London, however, fails to call England her “permanent home”. It is said that the females are “internal diasporas” in their own homes, however, they adjust more easily in their adopted land than the male ones as they experience freedom in their exile in the foreign land and can forge an identity of their own which is often denied back home. This paper endeavours to capture the experience of the female diasporas shared in these two novels and tries to understand different diaspora experiences regarding home and other homes, thus acknowledge the fact that all diasporas are not identical and they do not share identical experience regarding their homeland and adopted land.

Published: April 2024

We talked about the existence of cosmic dust particles in this article, which are composed of different elements like carbon, oxygen, iron, and other atoms heavier than hydrogen and helium. Star formation depends on cosmic dust particles, which are the building blocks of planets and people. Dust that has fallen to Earth or exists in space is known as cosmic dust, sometimes known as extraterrestrial dust or space dust. The majority of particles of cosmic dust have sizes between a few molecules and 0.1 mm (100 µm). We refer to larger particles as meteorites. Cosmic dust is thought to be the remnants of asteroidal or cometary collisions that can be linked to collisions that took place during the Big Bang.

Published: April 2024

Forecasting with a precise evaluation of new cases and the rate of occurrence is essential for the effective implementation of governmental initiatives and early prevention of any infectious illness. Despite the extensive research done on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus since the outbreak, not enough knowledge could be gained about the virus in terms of immune function, virus-host interactions, pathogenesis, propagation, and mutations. In this paper, various statistical models, namely Supervised Machine Learning techniques (ML), are being discussed for previous diseases and for the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Namely, the use of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model and a variety of time series regression models is demonstrated for several infectious diseases, including COVID-19. As infectious diseases evolve throughout time, they provide data on a single variable, that is, “the figure of contaminations that occurred over time”; thus, researchers tend to use time series models to fit the data and make predictions using different evaluation metrics to find the best-fitting model. This review developed ideas about how to enhance the current modeling techniques. Furthermore, findings of current Machine Learning Techniques are being evaluated, which attempts to estimate the COVID-19 spread. Researchers looking for approaches to advance SARS-CoV-2 research as well as individuals curious about the field’s current condition will find this review to be helpful.

A research has been conducted to analyze the effect of remedial application on the learning outcomes of high school class XI students on Hydrocarbon material with the aim of knowing: (1) learning outcomes of students who do not apply remedial, (2) learning outcomes of students after remedial treatment, (3) the effect of remedial application on learning outcomes, and (4) students' perceptions of hydrocarbon learning. The results showed that: (1) the average value of the pretest was 62.22. (2) After remedial treatment for 4 times (5 times posttest) the results were obtained: posttest 1 with an average of 75.28, posttest 2 with an average of 72.22, posttest 3 with an average value of 78.18, posttest 4 with an average of 90, and posttest 5 with a value of 70. (3) the effect of remedial on student learning outcomes can be seen from the decrease in students who take remedial classes and also the average value that increases gradually for each remedial class conducted. (4) Based on the results of the questionnaire given, it can be concluded that students in both experimental classes like learning chemistry. This shows that students' motivation towards learning chemistry is quite good.

Postural problems in young people begin during the growth phase and may be correlated with the transport of school materials, since the excessive weight of backpacks generates mechanical overload on the body, leading young people to a high effort overload, triggering muscle imbalance and pain. In this context, the present study aimed to verify the correlation between transporting school materials and postural changes in young people in elementary school. This is a cross-sectional analytical study. The sample selection included 13 elementary school students, aged between 10 and 12 years old. These students had total body mass and height measured, answered an anamnesis, underwent a postural assessment and, finally, were asked about transporting school supplies, including identifying the weight of the backpack they were carrying. The data was subjected to a descriptive statistical analysis, including calculations of mean, standard deviation and percentages to characterize the variables. Furthermore, the Pearson test was performed to evaluate the correlation between postural changes and the transport of school materials. The results revealed that 76.92% of students reported back pain, as well as changes in posture. Additionally, 69.23% do not practice physical exercise, and 84.62% said they felt tired when carrying school supplies. Factors such as age, gender, height, BMI and physical activity can influence the onset of back pain. This can be justified by the correlation between weight and BMI (r=0.933; p=0.001), sex and height (r=-0.607; p=0.036), weight and sex (r=-0.576; p=0.049), and weight and height (r=0.698; p=0.012). Therefore, we conclude that physical inactivity and inadequate transport of school material can contribute to changes in posture, with these factors being influenced by the age group, weight and height of the individuals.

Published: April 2024

Ground stone tools, especially perforated stone disks and grooved stones, are rarely discussed in Indonesian prehistory. In terms of its quantity and workmanship, these types of artifacts are fairly unique. They are often limited in quantity, which makes it difficult to compare with the other references. Moreover, their technological aspect still needs to be widely understood by academics. For the first time in Indonesia, this article will discuss perforated stone disks and grooved stones in the context of prehistoric cave sites in Sumatra. Through formal analysis of its attributes at medium to high magnification, we provide a reference for their technological aspects as well as the context of the artifact. Our study reveals that both types of artifacts appear to be closely related to the aquatic culture. The practical function of these artifacts is associated with a fishery tradition on the rivers inland. Our argument is corroborated by the remnants of aquatic fauna associated with these two types of artifacts. Apart from that, the perforated stone disks that were previously reported were found in the mainland of Southeast Asia and, in fact, also found in Sumatra. It further emphasizes the connection between the cultural entities of prehistoric populations that inhabited insular and mainland Southeast Asia.

Introduction: Loop ileostomy reversal (LIR) procedure is associated still with relatively high risk of complications. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication in this group of patients. As a result of SSI, it leads to prolonged hospital stay, delay the adjuvant therapy and increase the hospital costs.

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to analyze the risk factors for SSI in patients following loop ileostomy reversal procedure.

Material and methods: A single-centre retrospective analysis was conducted in a tertiary reference center. Finally, sixty five patients following loop ileostomy reversal procedure performed between 2018 and 2022 were enrolled into the study. Data were collected retrospectively based on the available medical charts. The study group comprised of 23 women (35%) and 42 men (65%) with the mean age 48.914.5 years and the mean body mass index 24.34.9 kg/m2. The most common indication for index surgery was ulcerative colitis (33%) and colorectal cancer (29%). Preferably, handsewn anastomosis was performed (n=42; 64.6%).

Results: The most important parameter evaluated in the above study was the diagnosis of surgical site infection, which was important, among others, in during hospitalization after surgery, the need for antibiotic therapy or CRP values. 9 patients (13.8%) were diagnosed with SSI during their hospital stay (more than 86% without SSI). In the group with SSI it was over 13 days compared to almost 6 days in the group without SSI (p=0.00009). The time of the procedure had a statistically significant correlation with antibiotic therapy introduction (p=0.01). The type of intestinal anastomosis had a significant impact on the operative time (p=0.0011) and the time of hospital stay after surgery (p=0.04).

Conclusions: Most of the analyzed clinical factors were directly related to the impact on the duration of postoperative hospitalization. The duration of hospitalization is an independent and undeniable factor of increasing the risk of other postoperative complications and significantly increases the cost of hospitalization. Another factor that has a large clinical impact on postoperative treatment is the presence of comorbidities, which made patients more likely to develop SSI, CRP increase or the need for antibiotic therapy. An important factor was the level of CRP, the elevated value of which may be a predictor of many negative aspects in postoperative treatment.
