This research investigates the impact of digital academic supervision (DAS) on teacher professionalism (TP), with a focus on the mediating role of personal learning networks (PLNs) and their implication for educational policy. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 276 teachers in prestigious secondary schools in East Java, Indonesia. The study uses a regression model design to explore direct and mediated effects between DAS, PLNs, and TP. Findings demonstrate that DAS directly impacts both PLNs (0.638) and TP (0.550), while PLNs also directly influence TP (0.293). Mediated analysis indicates that DAS enhances TP through PLNs (0.187). These results underscore the importance of digital tools in academic supervision, fostering collaboration, and promoting teacher professional development. The empirical evidence supports the effectiveness of DAS in enhancing teacher professionalism, suggesting significant implications for educational policy and practice in Indonesia in terms of regulatory framework, such as data privacy and security, standardization, training programs, and certification and accreditation.

Approach to poisoned patients with high anion gap metabolic acidosis in the emergency department - a case series
Authors: Ali Reem Khalid , Safi Ebtesam , Abbasi Tibah Ahmad Al , AlRajaby Salma
Published: August 2024

Toxicology cases are frequent presentations in the emergency department (ED) and often their presentation can vary from a straightforward manner to a complex manner. In this case series we will discuss three cases that presented to the ED with a known, suspected, and unknown toxicological substance ingestion with the common denominator being high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA). HAGMA is a subcategory of metabolic acidosis. Categorizing metabolic acidosis as a high anion gap aids in identifying the underlying disease process and subsequently initiating appropriate treatment. There have been many broadly inclusive mnemonics used to list the common causes of High anion gap acidosis such as CAT MUDPILES which correspond to Carbon monoxide, Cyanide, Congenital heart disease, Aminoglycosides, Theophylline, Toluene, Methanol, Uremia, Diabetic ketoacidosis, Alcoholic ketoacidosis, Starvation, Acetaminophen, Phenformin, Paraldehyde, Iron, Isoniazid, Inborn errors of metabolism, Lactic acidosis, Ethanol, Ethylene glycol, and Salicylates, respectively. It is not uncommon to be faced with patients with an unclear clinical picture and a lack of clear toxicological ingestion. In such circumstances, the presence of a high anion gap acidosis is an important clue that should prompt investigating for uncommon toxicological causes not listed in the forementioned mnemonics, such as metformin, beta blockers, and CCBs.

An insurance agreement occurs where the policyholder transfers the risk to the insurance company. Legal protection regarding to life insurance policy holders is regulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 40 of 2014 concerning Insurance. Life insurance claims are in the form of claims from the insured party where the policy holder asks for his rights in the life insurance policy agreement to make payments on the life insurance benefits. This study aims to determine the legal protection for life insurance policy holders and the procedure for settlement of life insurance claims. Life insurance claims often have difficulty in filing, because the company has standards in submitting claims listed in the provisions of the life insurance policy book. Therefore, if the claim submitted by the policyholder has met the specified requirements, the life insurance claim will be unlikely to be rejected. The formulation of the problems in this study are how to regulate legal protection for life insurance policy holders in Indonesia, and how the procedure for resolving insurance claims is for life insurance policy holders. The research method used is descriptive-analytical with a normative juridical approach. The results of the study indicate that the regulation regarding legal protection for life insurance policy holders is regulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 40 of 2014 concerning Insurance which is described in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 87 of 2019 concerning Insurance Companies in the Form of Joint Ventures and other implementing regulations.

Published: August 2024

This study conceptually spotlighted the influence of celebrity endorsement on consumer’s patronage with major focus on telecommunication service providers in Nigeria. Using Globacom Nigeria Limited as a case study, it was acknowledged in the cause of the study that contemporary society is characterized with globalization and competition, because most consumers are exposed to alternative product. These propel business organizations to employ the most effective methods, strategies and programmes in producing and marketing their products and services. The study was rationalized by the reference group theory to link celebrity endorsement attributes and consumer purchasing behaviour as the exogenous and dependent variables of the study. Conclusion was drawn that celebrities have traditionally been the simplest way to debut a new product (consumer goods), and this will likely continue in the near future due to their broad popularity and a large following of devoted followers, mostly in the West. As a recommendation, the study suggested that marketing companies should ensure that their celebrity have a trustworthy nature, as this will influence the behavior of their consumers.

Политика Российской Федерации в сфере образования актуализи- рует вопросы развития успеха личности, из которого в дальнейшем складывается сильное общественное единство. Одним из таких вопросов является развитие ког- нитивных способностей у обучающихся на различных уровнях образования. Цель исследования — изучить причинно-следственные связи между активной двигательной деятельностью обучающихся и развитием у них когнитивных способностей. В иссле- довании приняли участие 147 обучающихся образовательных организаций Москвы: 92 студента колледжа и 55 школьников из двух столичных образовательных школ в возрасте от 15 до 20 лет. Полученные результаты доказывают взаимосвязь регулярной двигательной дея- тельности и развития когнитивных способностей по шести направлениям: саморазви- тие, адаптация к различным кризисным и некомфортным ситуациям, саморегуляция и само организация, управленческие навыки, решение нестандартных задач. Стимуляция работы мозга обусловливается протекающими физиологическими и биохимическими процессами, активизирующимися в период физической активности организма. Актив- ная двигательная деятельность была организована в соответствии с нововведениями воспитательной работы школ и колледжей на базе спортивных студенческих и школь- ных клубов с развитием когнитивных способностей, способствующих разностороннему развитию личности обучающегося.
SYSTEMIC MOTIVATION PROFILE AND INTRAPERSONAL CONFLICT
Authors: Рыжов Б.Н. , Смоловская Л.Б.
Published: August 2024

Целью настоящей работы стало исследование системных особенностей мотивационных диспозиций личности как фактора развития внутриличностного конфликта. Маркером такого конфликта является противоречие между несколькими актуальными, но нереализованными видами мотивации. Особенно- стью внутреннего конфликта становится длительное ощущение переживаемого дистресса. Исследование было проведено в Московском институте психоанализа и Академии транскультураль- ной психотерапии в Москве с 2022 по 2023 г. В нем приняли участие 240 обучающихся по программе дополнительного образования: 180 женщин и 60 мужчин в возрасте 24–36 лет. Использовались три мето- дики: тест по выявлению уровня внутриличностной конфликтности (ВК) А. И. Шипилова и два ва рианта теста системного профиля мотивации Б. Н. Рыжова, в том числе вариант ранжирования ценностей, позволяющий получить профиль мотивации, наиболее близкий к реальному, или Я-реальное, и вариант шкалирования ценностей, позволяющий получить профиль мотивации, в большей мере учитывающий социальное давление на обследуемого социальных норм и требований, или Я-идеальное. Исследование позволило установить, что в возрастной группе 24–36 лет различия индексов мо- тивации при разных уровнях внутренней конфликтности прослеживаются только в женской выборке, при этом значение медианы репродуктивной мотивации в группе женщин с высоким ВК статистически достоверно превышало соответствующие данные у женщин с низким ВК. У женщин с низким уровнем ВК в основе развития конфликтной ситуации лежит коллизия осознаваемого стремления к более полной реализации своих возможностей (самореализация) и скрытой неудовлетворенности своим социальным и профессиональным статусом (сохранение Я). У женщин молодого возраста с высоким уровнем ВК в основе развития конфликтной ситуации чаще лежит коллизия нарративов, определяющая противо- стояние нереализованной репродуктивной мотивации и переоцененных мотиваций самореализации и нравственности.

У студентов со средней мотивацией достижения успеха (50 % от общего количества) открытая познавательная позиция встречается значимо чаще. Обнаружено, что особенная аргументно-предиктивная структура ментальных репрезентаций (оперативные схемы, разнообразие модальностей характеристик, осведомленность метакогнитивного уровня, авторские стратегии, планирование при описании содержания понятия «успешность») характерна для студентов со средней и с умеренно высокой мотивацией достижения успеха. В статье показано, что степень обобщенности понятия «успешность» и тип образных схем высокого уровня (управляющий, оперативный); ментальные репрезентации с признаками разных модальностей ха- рактерны для студентов с умеренно высокой мотивацией достижения успеха. Эти факты свидетельствуют о признаках целостной картины, о способности стратегически планировать и определять способы действий, что подтверждается изучением стилевых особенностей. Для молодых людей, у которых сформирован высокий уровень ментальных репрезентаций успешности с признаками развивающейся компетентности, характерны когнитивные стили «поленезависимость», «абстрактная концептуализация» как признаки функционального метасистемного качества и одаренности. Им свойственно выбирать конструктивные стратегии преодоления трудностей; переключать внимание и рационально использовать интеллектуальные приемы; субъективно снижать значимость сложной ситуации при целенаправленном подавлении и сдерживании эмоций, мини- мизировать их влияние на восприятие ситуации.
V. G. KOROLENKO ON MENTAL DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDHOOD: STAGES, PATTERNS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS

В статье рассматривается система взглядов русского писателя Владимира Галактионовича Коро- ленко (1853–1921) на психическое развитие в детстве. Писатель, гуманист и демократ, Короленко верил в высокое призвание человека, а потому считал, что процесс психического развития нацелен на обре- тение ребенком счастья, смысла жизни, призвания вопреки физическим недугам, личностным страда- ниям. В этюде «Слепой музыкант» (1886) он представил целостную картину психического развития слепого мальчика — единственного ребенка богатых родителей, — растущего в двух замкнутых мирах: в доме с узким кругом близких людей и в усадьбе с окружающей ее природой родного края. Взрослые, будучи посредниками между внешним миром и мальчиком, направляли его на познание этого мира, включение в социум, а не на биологическую компенсацию сенсорного дефекта. Картина психического развития, во-первых, дана в последовательности четырех этапов. На каждом из них у ребенка в про- цессе разнообразной деятельности, собственной и организуемой взрослыми, складывались важные особенности: умственная деятельность, произвольность поведения и деятельности, познавательных и эмоциональных процессов; образ себя в совокупности знаний о себе и отношения к себе; дружба с ровесницей. Во-вторых, прослежено становление яркой индивидуальности мальчика с музыкальными способностями (слушание, исполнение, сочинение музыки) как возможного, хотя и нетипичного, пути развития ребенка с физическим недостатком, а также особого типа женского характера («тихий подвиг любви, соединенный с заботой и печалью») у его подруги-сверстницы. В-третьих, раскрыты системные взаимосвязи внутренних и внешних факторов, способствовавших развитию ребенка: природное пред- расположение, саморазвитие, отношение близких людей, семейная атмосфера и семейное воспитание с гуманистической, личностно ориентированной позицией взрослых мужского и женского полов, природа родного края, народная музыка, дружба с ровесницей. Детство закончилось критическим периодом, когда возросли переживания одиночества и тоски по полноте существования, потребность выйти в большой мир к духовному свету.
Environment- and Conformation-Induced Frequency Shifts of C–D Vibrational Stark Probes in NAD(P)H Cofactors

NAD(P)H cofactors are found in all forms of life and are essential for electron and hydrogen atom transfer. The linear response of a carbon-deuterium (C–D) vibration based on the vibrational Stark effect can facilitate measurements of electric fields for critical biological reactions including cofactor-mediated hydride transfer. We find both inter- and intramolecular electric fields influence the C–D frequency in NAD(P)H and nicotinamide-like models where the reactive C4-hydrogen has been deuterated. Hence, the C–D frequency can report both environmental electrostatics and conformational changes of the nicotinamide ring. Conformation-dependent effects are mediated through space as electrostatic effects, rather than through-bond. A Stark tuning rate of ~0.57 cm-1/(MV/cm) was determined using both experimental and computational approaches, including vibrational solvatochromism, molecular dynamics simulations, and in-silico Stark calculations. The vibrational probe’s Stark tuning rate is shown to be robust and suitable for measuring fields along hydride transfer reaction coordinates in enzymes
Grignard Reagents as Simple Catalysts for the Dehydrocoupling of Amines and Silanes

Published: August 2024

Methyl magnesium bromide is a catalyst for the dehydrocoupling of silanes and amines to produce aminosilane products under mild conditions. As a commercially available Grignard reagent, this catalyst represents a simplification over previous magnesium-containing catalysts for Si–N bond formation while displaying similar activity to other magnesium-based catalysts. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that competitive Schlenk equilibrium can be addressed by not using an ancillary ligand. While the activity of MeMgBr is lower than some reported catalysts, including other commercially available catalysts, unique selectivity was observed for MeMgBr that may allow for selective synthesis of aminosilane products. This work continues to increase the accessibility of Si–N heterodehydrocoupling through a growing family of commercially available precatalysts that balance activity and selectivity.
Catalytic coupling of 1,4-benzenedimethanol with ethanol for alcohol upgradation
Authors: Ghosh Chandrika , Kumar Amit
Published: August 2024

We report here a catalytic method to upgrade 1,4-benzenedimethanol to 3-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol via coupling of 1,4-benzenedimethanol with ethanol using a ruthenium catalyst. Through systematic optimization of catalytic conditions, a high TON of 400,000 has been achieved. Based on previous studies and those reported herein, we suggest that the reaction proceeds via a hydrogen-borrowing mechanism in a Guerbet-style process.

Photocurable materials, capable of being delivered as liquids and rapidly cured in situ within seconds using UV light, are garnering increased interest in advanced minimally invasive procedures. Examining living organisms to extract novel principles and technologies, and subsequently applying them into synthetic materials to enhance their performances holds a central position in biomimetics (bioinspiration). In this exploration, we delve into the multifaceted world of marine mussel adhesion, emphasizing the pivotal role of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) in adhesive proteins. Simultaneously, we navigated the promising realm of elastomers derived from fatty acid dimers. 90° peeling test and fluorescence microscope indicate that the adhesiveness of the catechol-containing samples (5% and 10%) versus control samples were ~4 and 8 times higher, respectively, as compared to within the tested group. Overall, our results suggest that the incorporation of methacrylated L-DOPA in the synthesis of photocured elastomeric networks leads to improved water contact angle and adhesiveness, creating new avenues for potential biomedical applications.
Anecdotal Observations of Socially Learned Vocalizations in Harbor Seals

Published: August 2024

Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are more solitary than many other pinnipeds. Yet, they are capable of vocal learning, a form of social learning. Most extant literature examines social animals when investigating social learning, despite sociality not being a prerequisite. Here, we report two formerly silent harbor seals who initiated vocalizations, after having repeatedly observed a conspecific receiving food rewards for vocalizing. Our observations suggest both social and vocal learning in a group of captive harbor seals, a species that lives semi-solitarily in the wild. We propose that, in this case, social learning acted as a shortcut to acquiring food rewards compared to the comparatively costly asocial learning.
Specifically unspecific – Simple devices as feasible and effective enrichment for small mammals

Although enrichment is an essential part of modern zoo animal husbandry, research on effective enrichment for small mammals is scarce, albeit they are regularly kept in zoos. To develop solutions that are inexpensive, readily applicable, and adaptable for a variety of species, we investigate whether three types of simple enrichment devices (SEDs) – object, olfactory, and food-motivated – elicit positive interactions in various zoo-housed small mammal species. In this preliminary exploration study, we evaluate if amount of enrichment interactions, display of behavioral stress reactions, and display of stereotypic behaviors vary, if different types of SEDs are provided. Therefore, we observed 39 individuals of ten species, most of which are underrepresented in enrichment literature: Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), round-eared elephant shrew (Macroscelides proboscideus), aardvark (Orycteropus afer), southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla), northern Luzon giant cloud rat (Phloeomys pallidus), green acouchi (Myoprocta pratti), South African springhare (Pedetes capensis), aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis), golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia), and Javan mouse-deer (Tragulus javanicus) housed in Frankfurt Zoo, Germany. All focal individuals interacted with at least two types of SEDs and around 80% interacted with all types of SEDs, resulting in a considerable amount of time spent with the enrichment. There was a preference for food-motivated enrichment. Neither behavioral stress reactions nor stereotypic behaviors differed if different types of SEDs were present. Model selection showed that GLMs explaining enrichment interactions improved if the variable ‘individual’ instead of ‘species’ was included, suggesting that reactions towards unspecific SEDs might be more individual-driven than species-specific. Because individuals of all species chose to interact with the SEDs and we did not find behavioral indicators for stress elicited by the SEDs, we advocate for the regular provision of SEDs for small mammals in human care.
