Wstęp Toaleta jamy ustnej jest rutynową czynnością wykonywaną przez personel pielęgniarski oddziałów anestezjologii i intensywnej terapii. Właściwie wykonana pielęgnacja jamy ustnej pozwala osiągnąć zmniejszenie kolonizacji drobnoustrojów oraz zastosować prewencję występowania odrespiratorowego zapalenia płuc. Studenci kierunku pielęgniarstwo w kształceniu akademickim zdobywają wiedzę zarówno teoretyczną, jak i praktyczną w zakresie prawidłowego wykonania procedury. Jednakże z obserwacji wynika, iż jakość i stopień pozyskanych umiejętności nie został do tej pory zbadany. Cel Celem niniejszej pracy była ocena wiedzy i umiejętności praktycznych studentów kierunku pielęgniarstwo w zakresie higieny jamy ustnej u dorosłych pacjentów zaintubowanych. Materiał i metody Przeprowadzono obserwacyjne badanie przekrojowe wykorzystujące metodę sondażu diagnostycznego z użyciem autorskiego kwestionariusza oceniającego wiedzę studentów pielęgniarstwa w przedziale 0–13 pkt oraz „checklisty” oceniającej umiejętności praktyczne (0–11 pkt). Zadaniem praktycznym do wykonania była toaleta jamy ustnej pacjenta zaintubowanego, przeprowadzana w warunkach symulacji niskiej wierności. Przebadano 204 studentów Gdańskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego na przełomie 2017–2018 r. Wyniki W ocenie wiedzy teoretycznej średnia poprawnych odpowiedzi wynosiła 68% (M=8,79; SD±1,79). Obszar z najmniejszą liczbą poprawnych odpowiedzi stanowił dobór odpowiednich preparatów do pielęgnacji jamy ustnej. Wiedza praktyczna oceniana była na 68% poprawnie wykonanych czynności (M=7,63; SD±1,76). Do czynności stanowiących największy problem należała ocena stanu jamy ustnej pacjenta (47,5% poprawnie wykonanych czynności). Wraz ze wzrostem poziomu wiedzy dotyczącej pielęgnacji jamy ustnej u pacjentów zaintubowanych, wzrastała praktyczna umiejętność wykonywania zabiegu toalety jamy ustnej wśród studentów (rHO=0,27; p<0,001). Wnioski Wiedza teoretyczna i praktyczna studentów pielęgniarstwa jest na podobnym poziomie. Posiadanie wiedzy teoretycznej powoduje wzrost umiejętności praktycznych. Studenci studiów pierwszego stopnia mają mniejszą wiedzę w porównaniu ze studentami studiów drugiego stopnia. Najczęstsze przeszkody w pielęgnacji jamy ustnej związane były z brakiem kontaktu z chorym (39,2%) oraz obecnością rurki intubacyjnej w jamie ustnej (33,3%).

Published: November 2024

Bamboo is a fast-growing plant easily obtained in Malaysia. It is commonly used for constructing various solid structures including the guitar. Its unique sound quality makes it different from the traditional wooden guitar. The Yamaha guitar sound was used as reference for the generally preferred guitar characteristics. This work focused on the acoustic characteristics easily obtained using the frequency spectrum analysis via a PicoScope oscilloscope and spectrogram using Adobe Audition. A microphone was used for recording the string sound and yielding the frequency response function. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectra showed that the Yamaha guitar had less partials compared to the bamboo guitar, except string 4. Strings 1, 2, and 3 showed a regular signal from the Yamaha guitar whereas the bamboo guitar showed an irregular pattern with significant overtone. The intensity of the partials in the bamboo guitar displayed a recognizable pattern, i.e., a reduction of partial intensity amplitude proportional to increasing frequency in strings 4, 5, and 6. Some random partials appeared between the harmonics in string 1, 2, and 3 from bamboo guitar whereas the absence of partials in the Yamaha guitar could be due to the higher radiation coefficient of wood, which displays a different timbre.
Evaluation of the utilization of Ginkgo biloba leaf (GBL) extract as an eco-friendly wood preservative
Authors: Jang Eun-Suk , Kang Chun-Won
Published: November 2024

Ginkgo biloba leaf (GBL) extract was evaluated as a wood preservative, considering its sustainable availability in forests and cities worldwide. Previous research has demonstrated the antibacterial and antifungal properties of GBL extracts. Based on this information, it was hypothesized that GBL extract could effectively combat wood decay. The wood preservation properties of GBL extracts were evaluated using the “Laboratory test method of natural decay resistance of wood” KS F 2213 (2018). Its performance was compared to that of ACQ-2, a commercial wood preservative. The GBL extract was tested against two common wood decay fungi, namely Fomitopsis palustris and Trametes versicolor. The results showed mass loss rates of 13.6% and 9.9% after culturing these fungi, respectively. Although the GBL extract did not surpass the performance of ACQ-2, it achieved a “resistant” grade according to KS F 2213 (2018). This indicates that GBL extract exhibits a significant wood preservation effect. Furthermore, the GBL extract retains the natural color of wood, which is an advantageous characteristic.
Wire Escalation And De-escalation Techniques in Antegrade and Retrograde Approaches to Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Authors: Novelli Laura , Sanz-Sanchez Jorge , Gasparini Gabriele
Published: November 2024

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) are frequently identified during coronary angiography and remain the most challenging subset of coronary artery lesions to treat; however, advancements in techniques and materials have greatly improved success rates. Various crossing algorithms have been developed to standardise the approach to CTO interventions based on angiographic criteria. Antegrade wiring is typically the initial strategy of choice, particularly in cases of short and straight CTOs with tapered proximal cap. Similarly, retrograde crossing can be achieved through retrograde wiring, although this approach has a very low success rate. This review aims to outline how to perform a CTO analysis, clarify the fundamental features of guidewires and provide insights into both antegrade and retrograde wire-based approaches.

Exploring the Views of Spanish Pre-Service Teachers on Phonics From a Quantitative Research Perspective
Authors: Fernández-Molina Javier
Published: November 2024

English is especially demanding for Spanish speakers due to the greater number of sounds, the complex letter-sound relationship, and prosodic features. English phonics programmes may offer clearer, more comprehensive instruction. 84 pre-service teachers completed a questionnaire on the use of phonics in Spanish EFL preschool and primary classrooms. Results show that specific training is needed, not all participants favour this method, and a more eclectic approach to early literacy is advocated.

Is pedagogical translanguaging a panacea to the colonial monoglossic language ideology in the classroom? Focus on higher education in Lesotho
Authors: Nkhi Sekoai Elliot
Published: November 2024

Translanguaging is an approach to language aimed at promoting diversity and plurality of languages in the classroom. In this approach, students are taught in two or more languages, and literature suggests that they tend to participate more in the classroom when concepts are explained in their mother tongue. However, higher learning institutions in most countries, including Lesotho, still practise a colonial monoglossic language approach in the classroom wherein native languages are not included as languages of instruction alongside colonial languages. Therefore, I believe that pedagogical translanguaging can serve as a useful strategy to curb the hegemony of colonial monoglossic ideologies that prohibit the use of African languages in the classroom. This study adopted a qualitative approach confined within a case study design. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with three lecturers and focus group discussions with 60 students. Findings reveal that pedagogical translanguaging is an effective approach because it can promote social justice and plurality of languages in the classroom. The study thus recommends that minority African languages be included as languages of instruction as well, alongside the English language.

Los maestros contra la RAE. Obstáculos y enredos de la oficialización de la gramática escolar académica en España (1875-1900)
Authors: Gaviño Rodríguez Victoriano
Published: November 2024

This work aims to study the main challenges that academic school grammar faced in Spain for its consolidation in classrooms from the time of the Restoration, when its texts (Compendio and Epítome) became official again for the teaching of the Spanish language in public schools. Our analysis focuses specifically on examining the various news, reviews, and articles found in the Spanish printed press, a representative textual sample, not only of how the issue is experienced in Spanish society, but also of the different attitudes and opinions of intellectuals of the time regarding the matter, especially from the teachers, which maintained strong resistance against the repression actions carried out by the government and the Academy itself for the maintenance (and expansion) of their privileges and the consolidation of their doctrine in the classrooms.

UKRAINIAN DIASPORA IN THE SOCIO-POLITICAL LIFE OF CANADA IN THE 1970S – 1980S (BASED ON KGB DOCUMENTS OF THE USSR)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Mashevskyi Oleh
Published: November 2024

In the struggle to revive Ukrainian statehood, the activities of the large Ukrainian community in Canada played a significant role. This community tried to oppose the Soviet regime, seeking support from Canadian legislative and executive authorities. Therefore, this article aims to highlight, based on materials from the State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine, the efforts of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada in the fight for the restoration of Ukrainian statehood, its interaction with Canadian state institutions, and the counteractions from Soviet special services. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that secret archival documents of the KGB, which scholars have not previously utilized in the context of the proposed issue, are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The methodological basis of the research includes methods of historical archival studies, as well as problem-chronological and analytical methods for working with primary sources. Conclusions. The article analyzes and publishes (in the appendices) archival documents from the State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine, shedding light on the relationships between Ukrainian organizations in Canada and the government through the lens of how these processes were perceived and reacted to by Soviet special services. Several Canadian government officials and parliamentarians (including Prime Ministers D. Diefenbaker (1957–1963) and J. Clark (1979–1980)) actively supported the Ukrainian movement. At the same time, another trend was evident among some Canadian officials, primarily from P. Trudeau’s team (Prime Minister from 1968–1979 and 1980–1984), who sought to avoid conflicts with the USSR and thus attempted to limit the anti-Soviet actions of Ukrainian organizations. Notably, the KGB systematically tried to provoke or deepen these contradictions through provocative actions. Ukrainians in Canada successfully participated in parliamentary elections and were included in the government, as seen in 1979. The struggle between Canadian Ukrainians and the Soviet regime also extended to cultural issues and religious matters. The KGB attempted to persuade representatives of the Ukrainian creative intelligentsia in the diaspora to collaborate. Conversely, conscious Ukrainians in Canada seized every opportunity to advocate on humanitarian grounds, such as the fight for freedom of religion in Ukraine during events marking The Millennium of Rus’-Ukraine.
From Policy to Practice: Evaluating the Role of Private-Sector Champions Like Elon Musk in Shaping Trump's 2.0 Climate Agenda
Authors:   Atmospheric Physics/Meteorology Programme, Department of Physics, Faculty of Physical Sciences, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria, Nwokolo Samuel
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the prospective influence of private-sector leaders, particularly Elon Musk, on the formulation of climate and energy policy in a possible second term of President Donald Trump. Historically, the goals of the Trump administration have been viewed as opposed to environmental advocacy; yet, this analysis explores the potential for public-private partnerships that reconcile economic objectives with climate-positive results. Musk's enterprises—Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity—are transforming clean energy, and his impact on federal climate policies may initiate a new phase of environmentally sustainable economic development within conservative administration. This study analyzes case studies where Musk has collaborated with public authorities to tackle environmental and energy issues, highlighting practical strategies for partnership. Potential synergies are seen in sectors including renewable energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and sustainability-oriented manufacturing, underscoring their alignment with Trump's economic plan. Additionally, the article examines the policy mechanisms—tax incentives, regulatory reforms, and investments in clean technology—that may encourage private sector participation in a nationally endorsed climate agenda. This article advocates for a worldview in which leaders like Musk advance environmental progress by harmonizing innovation with conservative regulatory frameworks while preserving traditional economic objectives. Ultimately, it advocates for a revolutionary public-private partnership paradigm that utilizes private sector expertise to tackle climate challenges. This viewpoint enhances the current dialogue on sustainable development and the changing function of private enterprises in public policy, proposing a future where economic growth and environmental stewardship coexist within U.S. federal climate policy.

Published: November 2024

Cette étude explore le potentiel dexportation agricole du département du Nord-Ouest dHaïti, une région historiquement marquée par linsécurité alimentaire, des taux de pauvreté élevés et lisolement géographique. Bien quelle représente 21 % du PIB dHaïti et soit la principale source demploi pour 50 % de la population, lagriculture ne représente que 7 % des exportations haïtiennes. Le secteur a donc le potentiel de promouvoir davantage les exportations, ce qui profiterait à lensemble du pays, mais aussi aux régions plus pauvres qui dépendent fortement de cette activité, comme le Nord-Ouest où lagriculture emploie 62,7 % de la main-duvre. Ce document aborde les obstacles structurels, économiques et politiques qui ont historiquement miné la productivité du secteur et les capacités dexportation dans ce département. En utilisant une combinaison danalyse des systèmes, danalyse de la chaîne de valeur géospatiale et de classement quantitatif des cultures, cette étude identifie des interventions stratégiques pour améliorer la productivité et le potentiel dexportation agricoles. Lanalyse se concentre sur les cultures à fort potentiel dexportation, à forte valeur nutritionnelle et à forte résilience au changement climatique. Les résultats suggèrent que laugmentation de la productivité et la stimulation des exportations nécessitent une approche à plusieurs volets : lamélioration des infrastructures et de la transformation des aliments, la lutte contre certains comportements socio économiques, notamment la production de charbon de bois et la déforestation, et la restauration de la stabilité politique.

Ten Findings about Poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean
Authors: Chang Jillie , Evans David K. , Rivas Herrea Carolina
Published: November 2024

Poverty continues to challenge Latin American and Caribbean countries, with approximately one in three people in the region in poverty and one in seven in extreme poverty. This paper provides up-to-date insights through analysis of who the poor are, where they are located, and how they live in the region. First, it uses a large collection of household surveys that extend through 2023 to characterize the poor. It examines (1) how many people in the region are poor, (2) how the poor are distributed geographically within and across countries, (3) how poverty affects specific groups (e.g., women, children, Afro-descendants, and Indigenous people), (4) how much of the poverty in the region is chronic and how much is transitory, and (5) how poverty numbers have changed over time. Second, it identifies how the extreme and chronically poor live relative to others in their same countries, providing insights into policy responses. Specifically, it discusses (6) the living arrangements of the poor, (7) the assets they have access to, (8) how they earn their incomes, (9) how they access human capital services such as education and health, and (10) what access they have to social programs. While this analysis is descriptive, it may be useful both for targeting efforts and for generating new hypotheses for poverty reduction that can subsequently be tested causally.

One of the defining inquiries of Heideggerian thought is whether traditional humanism has fulfilled its original purpose—namely, to humanize man as much as possible, to evolve his moral stance, as well as the mode of knowledge of human consciousness. Ontology, epistemology, and ethics—the three dimensions that could directly support the impact of the transformations dictated by the history of humanism—nevertheless reveal a regression, a deviation from the original goal. Thus, ontology reveals a distancing of man from Being and a stagnation within the realm of beings; epistemology indicates a focus of human knowledge on the mobility of beings, on the immanent, and on immediate everydayness; and ethics appears to be more of a framework of behavioral imperatives dictated by the public sphere. Instead of humanism, therefore, we will have, in Heidegger's view, humanisms—that is, ideologies and dogmatisms foreign to man's authentic mission, namely that of being the shepherd of Being, the protector dwelling nearby, situated in the proximal abode offered by the realm of meaningful discourse. Is it still possible for man to return to Being and inaugurate an authentic humanism? Before hastening to offer an answer to this inquiry, Heidegger urges us to linger further on the meaning of this question.

The main purpose of this article is to theoretically present a perspective for social work and the field of education regarding psychoeducation, as a way to ensure an inclusive approach to quality education in university studies for disabled students. The approach of the research topic is a theoretical one, based on the fact that psychoeducation is a new method of psychosocial intervention; its role is to support various categories of beneficiaries, aiding medical professionals, psychotherapists and social workers. The discussions part of our research concentrate on the fact that psychoeducation focuses on the educational methods that can be used to facilitate the acquisition of information and skills by a person or their relatives, when there are incidents of various psycho-cognitive or behavioral illnesses that raise medical, social, psychological difficulties for the integration of the person in a family, community, inter and intra-personal level, with the aim of medically and socially rehabilitate the beneficiary in all aspects of their existence. Psychoeducation involves a series of direct interventions, which are focused on the education of the participants and on the support and development of their adaptation skills to the social context in which they live. The conclusions chapter emphasizes on the issue that psychoeducation has become a common technique in social work practice since the 1970s, as it involves educating participants about the significant challenges of the client's illness, helping them develop their social skills, personal resources, and ability to manage existing or new challenges they face.
The Cultural Importance of Integrating Socially Assisted Vulnerable Groups within Society – The Case of the Roma Community
Authors: Nistor Petronela Polixenia , Achiței Cristina Carmen
Published: November 2024

This article aims to analyse the cultural importance of integrating Roma within society in the context of the continuous increase in the number of members of this minority in Romania's communities. The global community is increasingly open to cultural inclusion. Some forms of discrimination based on criteria such as religious affiliation, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, marital status and physical appearance seem to subside in intensity. The tolerance of individuals has increased considerably, and diversity is accepted, supported, encouraged and sometimes even imposed in order to build a globalized and inclusive society that respects diversity and provides equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, race or socioeconomic status. However, the Roma remains a social category that hardly adapts to the majority's rules. In addition, Roma rights and freedoms are much less emphasized than the rights of other minorities in the European public discourse by politicians and social influencers. Thus, in this paper, we aim to emphasize the importance of integrating the Roma population within society, but also analyse one of the ways that would make this desideratum possible - launching a positive mass media campaign to highlight the cultural heritage of the Roma ethnic group.

Food insecurity and malnutrition are often evident among the elderly population residing in low-income communities. This study is part of a broad collaborative investigation that recorded nutritional status, socio-demographic variables, and anthropometric indices from 2004 to 2014. The baseline was recorded for 2004, and a five-year follow-up was done for 2009, and 2014. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, over ten years, the dietary intake and nutritional status of elderly people in terms of anthropometric measurements at an elderly day care center, to determine if socio-demographic variables influence their diets, and if dietary intakes changed over the ten years. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a longitudinal cohort. This review only reflects the nutrient analysis of the diet amongst the cohort group (n=62). Measures included two 24-hour recalls assessing both the food and nutrient intake, as well as the dietary pattern of the cohort group. Results reflect many fluctuations in nutrient intake. Overall, participants consumed less energy, carbohydrates, and dietary fibre than dietary reference intakes (DRI), with protein intake above DRI during 2004 and 2009, but declining between 2009 and 2014. Micronutrient intake revealed calcium consistently below DRI, with variations in other nutrients over the years. Gender differences were significant for certain nutrients, with men generally consuming more niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin E as compared to women. Median nutrient intakes failed to meet average requirements, except for protein, carbohydrates, chromium, riboflavin, pantothenate and vitamin K. Only a few nutrients, such as niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin E reflected significant differences in values between the different genders. T-tests comparing nutrient averages between years found significant differences in fat intake between 2004 and 2009, and between 2009 and 2014, while protein differed significantly between 2009 and 2014. Other nutrients did not show significant differences across these periods, except for cholesterol and zinc between 2004 and 2014, and protein, fat, cholesterol, and zinc between 2009 and 2014. The collective picture reveals deficiencies, especially in key nutrients like zinc and iron, which fluctuated over a ten-year period. Analysis showed no significant difference in nutrient intake across the three periods, except for fat intake, which significantly differed between 2009 and 2014. Energy intake appeared to be higher from 2004 to 2009 but decreased notably by 2014. These findings underscore the importance of tailored dietary interventions to address nutrient deficiencies in aging populations, considering both individual needs and changing dietary patterns over time.

QUESTÃO NACIONAL COMO PROBLEMA POLÍTICO: aportes para compreender a América Latina
Authors: Shiota Ricardo Ramos
Published: November 2024

O artigo aborda as interseções entre questão nacional e marxismo em três políticos que trataram a temática em contextos de mudança social. Para Otto Bauer, Lênin e Zavaleta Mercado, o tema é associado a outros, como: classes sociais, mercado interno, cultura nacional, ideologia, hegemonia, Estado, democracia, imperialismo e internacionalismo proletário. Por meio de uma revisão da literatura, busca-se responder a indagações sobre o que constitui a questão nacional, quais seus componentes, contextos de discussão e categorias teórico-políticas subjacentes. Ao delinear as posições desses intelectuais, que articulam classe e nação e reconhecem a autonomia relativa do político em relação ao econômico, percebe-se a complexidade do problema nacional no marxismo. Conclui-se que compreender a questão nacional é essencial para entender a dinâmica entre construção nacional, imperialismo, classes sociais, Estado e luta social sob uma perspectiva marxista.

DINÂMICA DA ACUMULAÇÃO CAPITALISTA PÓS-2008 E INTEGRAÇÃO LATINO-AMERICANA
Authors: Saludjian Alexis
Published: November 2024

As consequências da crise financeira global de 2008 continuam a mostrar os limites da onipotência da globalização financeira capitalista. Para tentar analisar a dinâmica da acumulação capitalista em 2024, os seus conflitos e as suas tensões sociais, ambientais e políticas, é preciso ir além dos paradigmas e das receitas propostas há décadas pelas teorias dominantes. Essa não é uma tarefa fácil em uma era de notícias falsas, mídia concentrada influenciada por poderosos interesses econômicos e ideológicos neoliberais ou ultraliberais e redes sociais onipresentes. A coerência da acumulação capitalista é agora, em muitos casos, mantida unida apenas pela violência e pela desigualdade. Este artigo discute a integração da América Latina e, mais especificamente, de seu Cone Sul (Mercosul), na economia mundial capitalista. Assim, a primeira parte apresenta um histórico da dependência latino-americana, privilegiando uma abordagem histórica e teórico-crítica, enquanto a segunda parte enfoca a dinâmica da integração latino-americana e do Cone Sul-Americano.
