Museum “Rifle and Guitar” in the service of school education
Authors:   Museum “Rifle and Guitar”, School No. 1515, Mikhailov Mikhail V.
Published: December 2023

Below is an article by Mikhail Mikhailov, the ideological inspirer, author and head of the school military-historical and literary-musical museum “Rifle and Guitar”, solemnly opened on November 25, 2022, at school No 1515 in Moscow. We have taken the liberty of writing this short preliminary text to warn the reader that the published material does not fully meet the formal requirements for academic work, but at the same time it is a valuable source demonstrating new directions in the development of school museums — the largest group of museums in Russia. The fact is that the Museum “Rifle and Guitar” is significantly different from many other military-historical or literary institutions of this kind: the author naturallyn positions the museum of military bard song as an organic representative of both of these profiles. In addition, a specific function lies in the fact that the creative cultural heritage born in the Soviet-Afghan war (1979–1989), which is little talked about in society, is being transformed into a museum filed. However, the author perfectly illustrates the phenomenon that served as an incentive for the creation of the museum: the bard song of “Afghan” deservedly became one of the main instruments of “people’s memory” about the “last war of the great power”, and its authors, performers, publishers and curators are among the creators and frequent museum guests. Thus, we can talk about a special, ecological mission that the museum carries: the intangible objects of the historical and cultural environment are preserved and actualized with the help of its direct bearers, not only issues related to school education and upbringing are resolved, but also the urgent social problems of the society’s reconciliation with an “unpopular” war.
Funes, o memorioso de Borges
Authors: Scalia Daniele , Fontana Niura Maria
Published: December 2023

Por sua relevância, a memória tem sido tematizada nas diversas áreas dos saberes humanos ao longo da história. Nesse sentido, este trabalho propõe-se a investigar as questões da memória e do esquecimento, tomando como objeto de estudo o conto de Borges, “Funes, o memorioso”. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados compreendem a análise interpretativa do conto, apoiada nas postulações de Nietzsche relevantes para os aspectos identificados e suplementada por contribuições das neurociências, principalmente as oferecidas por Izquierdo e Luria, somadas a comentários da crítica literária. As conclusões confirmam a tese nietzschiana de que o excesso de memória e o apego a-histórico ao passado acarretam consequências nefastas para a vida de indivíduos e sociedades, na ficção e na realidade.
Tristes quadros da escravidão: violência no romance La familia del Comendador, de Juana Manso
Authors: Araújo Silva Maraysa , Simon da Silva Regina
Published: December 2023

O romance La familia del Comendador (1854), de Juana Paula Manso, introduz o leitor à exuberante paisagem do Rio de Janeiro do século XIX, ao mesmo tempo que denuncia os conflitos enfrentados por membros de uma abastada família no Engenho de Macacu e na Chácara de Botafogo. Por meio de uma história de amor aparentemente inocente, o romance revela a dura face da escravidão e o racismo enraizado na sociedade brasileira oitocentista. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar os episódios de violência física no romance, adotando como categorias de análise o narrador e a personagem. Para tanto, nosso estudo tem como base os pressupostos teóricos de Ginzburg (2012, 2013) no campo da Literatura e Violência. Nos fragmentos selecionados, evidenciamos as motivações que dão tom aos quadros de violência pintados no romance, caracterizadas como autoritárias e racistas.
grito mudo
Authors: Araújo Silva Lanuk Nagibson , Dunder Mauro
Published: December 2023

O trabalho “O grito mudo: silenciamento e violência contra a mulher em O peso do pássaro morto” é uma análise inicial de algumas cenas de violência na obra inaugural de Aline Bei, jovem escritora paulista que lançou seu primeiro livro em 2017, pela editora independente Nós. Bei foge da forma tradicional destinada aos romances e sua transgressão se inicia pela estilística. Nesta pesquisa, serão analisadas algumas cenas do livro O peso do pássaro morto, serão apontadas como a escritora trabalha a temática do luto, da violência e da melancolia em seu romance e como esses fatores se manifestam na estética do livro, concluindo que a própria obra de Aline Bei violenta a tradição literária ao inovar a maneira como o livro é escrito. Também, por meio dos estudos realizados, compreende-se que O peso do pássaro morto revela como o machismo afeta negativamente a sociedade e contribui para o aumento e silenciamento das mulheres na sociedade. Este trabalho utiliza-se dos estudos de Heleieth Saffioti em Gênero, patriarcado e violência (2005), os apontamentos de Pierre Bourdieu em A dominação masculina (2021), as inferências da Gayatri Spivak, em Pode o subalterno falar? (2014), a fala Sejamos todos feministas por Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche (2015), além das pesquisas de outros estudiosos do tema.
Violência e consumo de corpos na distopia Saboroso Cadáver, de Agustina Bazterrica
Authors: Costa Priscilla , Schneider Liane
Published: December 2023

O livro Saboroso Cadáver, da escritora argentina Agustina Bazterrica, retrata uma sociedade em que um vírus se espalhou entre os animais de todo o planeta, tornando sua carne mortal aos humanos. Pressionados pela indústria da carne, os governos do mundo legalizam a criação e reprodução de seres humanos como animais de abate e somos gradualmente apresentados ao funcionamento de uma sociedade em que o canibalismo é legalizado. Este artigo busca analisar esta narrativa distópica a partir do conceito de realismo capitalista proposto por Mark Fisher e discutir a instrumentalização da linguagem e a representação da violência de gênero no livro à luz do conceito de referente ausente conforme aplicado por Carol J. Adams. Enquanto literatura de ficção especulativa latino-americana contemporânea, pretende-se investigar os paralelos que o livro estabelece com a configuração atual da sociedade, refletindo sobre funções sociais frequentemente associadas ao gênero distópico.
corpos desfeitos, o refazer
Authors: Jesus Bertolino Linda Maria de , Chaves Leocádia Aparecida
Published: December 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar, na perspectiva dos estudos comparados, como corpos de mulheres negras e/ou não negras são desumanizados e, por isso, desfeitos e violentados por práticas etnocêntricas e universalistas machistas e religiosas, nas narrativas Corpo desfeito (2022), de Jarrid Araes, e Hibisco roxo (2011), de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Corpos que, mesmo deprimidos e subjugados, suspendem o seguimento de vida controlada, irrompendo, pois, contra a lógica do despojo; o que prenuncia um refazer. Para efetivar a análise, nos apoiamos em estudos crítico-analíticos e teóricos que dão conta de sustentar a interlocução entre corpo, violência e dispositivos de poder.

PRIMER REPORTE DEL OOMYCETE Globisporangium splendens CAUSANDO PUDRICIÓN DE RAÍCES EN CHIRIMOYA (Annona cherimola Mill.) EN PERÚ
Authors: Oviedo-Quirós Juan José , Risco-Mendoza Alejandro , Cadenas-Giraldo Carlos Alberto , Soto-Heredia Jose Miguel , Mattos-Calderón Luz Leonor
Published: December 2023

La chirimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.) es originaria de la región andina del Perú y Ecuador, donde crece a altitudes de 1500 a 2200 m.s.n.m. El cultivo de esta fruta afronta un grave desafío, la pudrición de raíz, una enfermedad que puede tener un impacto devastador en su rendimiento. En el año 2015 se registraron casos en Chile en los que la chirimoya sufrió daños en sus raíces debido a la presencia de Dactylonectria macrodidyma. Situaciones similares se han reportado en Australia y Florida, donde el género Annona se vio afectado por la pudrición de las raíces causada por Pythium splendens. Ante esta problemática, se planteó como objetivo identificar al agente causal de la pudrición radicular de la chirimoya utilizando técnicas de PCR (Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa). En el año 2014 se recolectaron doce plantas de chirimoya del cultivar ‘Cumbe’ en Ancash, Perú, las cuales mostraron síntomas de pudrición de raíces y deterioro general. La identificación se realizó mediante amplificación de regiones específicas de ADNr (ITS y Cox II) utilizando los cebadores ITS6/ITS4 y FM66/FM58 y reveló la presencia de Globisporangium splendens (anteriormente Pythium splendens), que no se había registrado previamente como causante de esta enfermedad en chirimoyas en Perú. Además, se llevaron a cabo pruebas de patogenicidad en plantones de chirimoya ‘Cumbe’, los cuales mostraron síntomas consistentes con la enfermedad en condiciones de campo. G. splendens se volvió a aislar de las raíces inoculadas, confirmando su papel como agente causal. Este estudio representa el primer informe de G. splendens como agente causante de la pudrición de raíz en chirimoya en Perú y resalta la importancia de identificar y comprender las enfermedades que afectan a este cultivo.
iProm-Yeast: Prediction Tool for Yeast Promoters Based on ML Stacking
Authors: Shujaat Muhammad , Yoo Sunggoo , Tayara Hilal , Chong Kil To
Published: December 2023

Background and Objective:

Gene promoters play a crucial role in regulating gene transcription
by serving as DNA regulatory elements near transcription start sites. Despite numerous approaches,
including alignment signal and content-based methods for promoter prediction, accurately
identifying promoters remains challenging due to the lack of explicit features in their sequences.
Consequently, many machine learning and deep learning models for promoter identification have
been presented, but the performance of these tools is not precise. Most recent investigations have
concentrated on identifying sigma or plant promoters. While the accurate identification of Saccharomyces
cerevisiae promoters remains an underexplored area. In this study, we introduced “iPromyeast”,
a method for identifying yeast promoters. Using genome sequences from the eukaryotic yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we investigate vector encoding and promoter classification. Additionally,
we developed a more difficult negative set by employing promoter sequences rather than nonpromoter
regions of the genome. The newly developed negative reconstruction approach improves
classification and minimizes the amount of false positive predictions.

Methods:

To overcome the problems associated with promoter prediction, we investigate alternate
vector encoding and feature extraction methodologies. Following that, these strategies are coupled
with several machine learning algorithms and a 1-D convolutional neural network model. Our results
show that the pseudo-dinucleotide composition is preferable for feature encoding and that the machine-
learning stacking approach is excellent for accurate promoter categorization. Furthermore, we
provide a negative reconstruction method that uses promoter sequences rather than non-promoter regions,
resulting in higher classification performance and fewer false positive predictions.

Results:

Based on the results of 5-fold cross-validation, the proposed predictor, iProm-Yeast, has a
good potential for detecting Saccharomyces cerevisiae promoters. The accuracy (Acc) was 86.27%,
the sensitivity (Sn) was 82.29%, the specificity (Sp) was 89.47%, the Matthews correlation coefficient
(MCC) was 0.72, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was
0.98. We also performed a cross-species analysis to determine the generalizability of iProm-Yeast
across other species.

Conclusion:

iProm-Yeast is a robust method for accurately identifying Saccharomyces cerevisiae
promoters. With advanced vector encoding techniques and a negative reconstruction approach,
it achieves improved classification accuracy and reduces false positive predictions. In addition,
it offers researchers a reliable and precise webserver to study gene regulation in diverse
organisms.
A Survey of Ophthalmologists in 52 Cities in the Southern United States
Authors: Albo Camila , Sanchez George , Sellers Brandon , Wolfel Logan , Mankad Rushi N. , Lee Tae Jin , Sharma Ashok , Melendez Robert F.
Published: December 2023

Background:

The United States (US) supply of surgical specialty practitioners in 2025 is projected to fall short by 24,340 physician full-time equivalents. The greatest deficit is projected for ophthalmology with the most affected region noted to be the southern US.

Aims:

To better understand the distribution of our ophthalmology workforce in the southern US and to identify cities with less access to subspecialty-specific vision care.

Objective:

To determine the prevalence of ophthalmologists as well as rates of ophthalmology subspecialists and practice types in the three largest cities of each state within the southern US.

Methods:

The American Academy of Ophthalmology’s “Find an Ophthalmologist” online listing was queried on a city-by-city basis from December 2020 to April 2021. The number and location of ophthalmologists were determined in the three largest cities, according to population, in the southern US. Data collected on each ophthalmologist included sex, primary subspecialty, practice type, year of first board certification, and academic affiliation.

Results:

There were 1,735 total ophthalmologists identified in the three largest cities of each state, 52 cities in total, within the southern US. The majority were male (n= 1,369, 78.90%) and board-certified prior to or during 1997 (n= 913, 52.62%). There were 12,308 persons per ophthalmologist (P/O) in the southern US. Cities with the highest P/O ratio were Rio Rancho, NM (101,475 P/O), Southaven, MS (28,691 P/O), and Houston, TX (27,868 P/O). The lowest P/O ratios included Morgantown, WV (1,587 P/O), Charleston, WV (2,263 P/O), and Wilmington, DE (3,025 P/O). Less populated cities (<300,000 persons) had a significantly higher proportion of comprehensive ophthalmologists in the southern US (p-value=0.007).

Conclusion:

A total of 550 ophthalmologists were evaluated in southwestern cities and 1,185 were evaluated in southeastern cities. Our results suggest that less populated cities are driven by comprehensive ophthalmology practices. This data suggests greater vulnerability in certain cities with less access to subspecialty-specific vision care.

Published: December 2023

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El género Morchella agrupa hongos ascomicetos, con varias especies comestibles de gran importancia alimenticia y biotecnológica. En China y Estados Unidos de América se han logrado cultivar exitosamente especies de Morchella de forma artificial hasta producir cuerpos fructíferos. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron identificar las especies de Morchella recolectadas en bosque de Abies religiosa, cultivar su micelio in vitro y propagarlo en granos de trigo. El presente estudio contribuye al conocimiento de la fase inicial necesaria para el posible cultivo artificial de este grupo de hongos.
Métodos: Se recolectaron hongos en un bosque de Abies religiosa ubicado en Santo Tomás Apipilhuasco, Tepetlaoxtoc, Estado de México, México. Los hongos se identificaron (taxonómica- y molecularmente) y se realizaron aislamientos a partir de trozos de tejido del ascocarpo en medio papa dextrosa agar (PDA) y posteriormente se realizó su propagación en granos de trigo.
Resultados clave: Las especies recolectadas fueron identificadas como Morchella tridentina y se logró el cultivo de micelio in vitro en medio PDA, así como su propagación en granos de trigo, en donde se observó la formación de esclerocios después de 21 días de inoculación. Las características del micelio que se cultivó in vitro variaron entre las cepas, no obstante que se aislaron de especímenes pertenecientes a una misma especie. Los especímenes deshidratados fueron depositados en el Herbario CHAP que pertenece a la Universidad Autónoma de Chapingo.
Conclusiones: Debido a que las presentes cepas fueron capaces de formar esclerocios, podrían ser utilizadas para la producción de ascocarpos. Sin embargo, es conveniente continuar con la investigación, con el objetivo de determinar las condiciones óptimas (ambientales, sustratos y de inducción de la fructificación) para ese fin y lograr su cultivo artificial.

The database used in this study refers to Wiley, Idokan Poland Association, PubMed, Cendekia, Schoolar, and several relevant journals related to Kick Side and Pencak Silat. Sources refer to the oldest data from 2021 to 1998 to obtain sources related to pencak silat double kicks. The athlete's foot movement when going to do a double kick is still not right in forming a movement according to the IPSI standard rules, so the resulting kick is less than optimal. The conclusion obtained is that a silat athlete must have the accuracy, speed, correctness, accuracy, and body segment angles in a match, especially in doing double kicks. The analysis of the athlete's double kick movement must be in accordance with the necessary mechanics so that improvements can be made and the athlete can perform the double kick movement more effectively and efficiently and minimize the risk of injury when competing. Future research is expected to be able to analyze and identify performance in detail related to the components of physical conditions.
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Suicide.ca, Quebec’s Digital Suicide Prevention Strategy Platform: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study
Authors: Côté Louis-Philippe , Lane Julie
Published: December 2023

Background

In 2017, the Quebec government assigned the Association québécoise de prévention du suicide (AQPS) to develop a digital suicide prevention strategy (DSPS). The AQPS responded by creating a centralized website that provides information on suicide and mental health, identifies at-risk individuals on the internet, and offers direct crisis intervention support via chat and text.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of suicide.ca, Quebec’s DSPS platform.

Methods

This study used a cross-sectional descriptive design. The study population comprised internet users from Quebec, Canada, who visited the suicide.ca platform between October 2020 and October 2021. Various data sources, such as Google Analytics, Firebase Console, and Customer Relation Management data, were analyzed to document the use of the platform. To understand the profile of suicide.ca users, frequency analyses were conducted using data from the self-assessment module questionnaires, the intervention service’s triage questionnaire, and the counselors’ intervention reports. The effectiveness of the platform’s promotional activities on social media was assessed by examining traffic peaks. Google Analytics was used to evaluate the effectiveness of AQPS’ strategy for identifying at-risk internet users. The impact of the intervention service was evaluated through an analysis of counselors’ intervention reports and postintervention survey results.

Results

The platform received traffic from a diverse range of sources, with promotional efforts on social media directly contributing to the increased traffic. The requirement of a user account posed a barrier to the use of the mobile app, and a triage question that involved personal information led to a substantial number of dropouts during the intervention service triage. AdWords campaigns and fact sheets addressing suicide risk factors played a crucial role in driving traffic to the platform. With regard to the profile of suicide.ca users, the findings revealed that the platform engaged individuals with diverse levels of suicidal risk. Notably, users of the chat service displayed a higher suicide risk than those who used the self-assessment module. Crisis chat counselors reported a positive impact on approximately half of the contacts, and overall, intervention service users expressed satisfaction with the support they received.

Conclusions

A centralized digital platform can be used to implement a DSPS, effectively reaching the general population, individuals with risk factors for suicide, and those facing suicidal issues.
Preoperative Virtual Reality to Expose Patients With Breast Cancer to the Operating Room Environment: Feasibility and Pilot Case Series Study
Authors: Sommer Jordana L , Reynolds Kristin , Hebbard Pamela , Smith Michael S D , Mota Natalie , Mutch W Alan C , Maples-Keller Jessica , Roos Leslie , El-Gabalawy Renée
Published: December 2023

Background

Clinically elevated preoperative distress and anxiety are common among patients undergoing cancer surgery. Preoperative interventions have been developed to mitigate this distress and anxiety but are inconsistent in efficacy and feasibility for broad implementation.

Objective

This preliminary pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and utility of a newly developed virtual reality (VR) intervention to expose patients awaiting breast cancer surgery to the operating room environment and a simulation of anesthetic induction.

Methods

Patients undergoing breast cancer surgery (N=7) were assigned to the VR intervention or control (treatment as usual) group and completed self-report measures of distress and anxiety before surgery, on the day of surgery, and after surgery (5 and 30 d postoperatively). Those in the intervention group trialed the VR simulation 1 to 2 weeks preoperatively and provided qualitative and quantitative feedback. We assessed the feasibility of recruitment capability and study design and evaluated participants’ impressions of the intervention using self-report rating scales and open-ended questions. We also descriptively examined distress and anxiety levels throughout the duration of the study.

Results

Recruitment occurred between December 2021 and December 2022 and progressed slowly (rate: 1 participant/7 wk on average; some hesitancy because of stress and being overwhelmed). All participants who consented to participate completed the entire study. All participants were female and aged 56 (SD 10.56) years on average. In total, 57% (4/7) of the participants were assigned to the intervention group. On average, intervention participants spent 12 minutes engaged in the VR simulation. In general, the intervention was rated favorably (eg, clear information, enjoyable, and attractive presentation; mean% agreement 95.00-96.25, SD 4.79-10.00) and as helpful (mean% agreement 87.50, SD 25.00). Participants described the intervention as realistic (eg, “It was realistic to my past surgical experiences”), impacting their degree of preparedness and expectations for surgery (eg, “The sounds and sights and procedures give you a test run; they prepare you for the actual day”), and having a calming or relaxing effect (eg, “You feel more relaxed for the surgery”).

Conclusions

This preoperative VR intervention demonstrated preliminary feasibility among a sample of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. Results and participant feedback will inform modifications to the VR intervention and the study design of a large-scale randomized controlled trial to examine the efficacy of this intervention.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop simulation-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation education and apply it to non-health related college students to understand its effect.
Methods This study was conducted on 54 non-health college students (27 in the experimental group and 27 in the control group). The control group received the general cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education, and the experimental group received the shortened version of the CPR education provided to the control group and the simulation-based CPR education developed in this study.
Results Simulation-based CPR education was developed and applied in five stages: analysis, design, development, implement, and evaluation. The experimental group's cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance was 41.22±3.91 points, and the control group's cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance was 28.15±4.05 points, indicating a significant difference in cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance (Z=-6.32, p=<.001). There were no significant differences in knowledge of CPR (Z=-0.04, p=.972), confidence in performing CPR (Z=1.00, p=.922), education satisfaction (Z=-0.28, p=.782), and immersion (Z=-0.08, p=.935).
Conclusions Simulation-based CPR education programs was found to be effective in improving CPR performance. Therefore, the simulation-based CPR program can be used as an effective educational method for non-health college students, and it is necessary to consider ways that can be applied not only to college students but also to the general public.

Published: December 2023

Objectives This study examined the extend to which adolescents' emotion problems influenced their career identity and life satisfaction and the mediating effects of school adjustment.
Methods The data were drawn from the sixth (T1, 3rd in middle school) and seventh (T2, 1st in high school) waves of the 2010 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). A total of 1,923 adolescents (boys, n=1,012; girls, n=911) participated in this study. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0.
Results First, emotional problems had totally indirect effect on career identity sequentially through school adjustment. When third-year middle school adolescents have higher levels of emotional problems, they tended to have lower levels of school adjustment, which, in turn, led to less career identity after 1 year. Second, emotional problems indirectly influenced life satisfaction through school adjustment. That is, as adolescent’s emotional problems increased, their school adjustment decreased, finally leading to lower levels of life satisfaction.
Conclusions These results add to a better understanding of the mechanism linking adolescent’s emotional problems to career identity and life satisfaction and especially emphasize the importance of school adjustment. These findings can serve as an important contribution to future research and practices for promoting adolescent’s career identity and life satisfaction.

Published: December 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the research trends related to morning physical activities within schools and to explore the challenges for future research directions.
Methods 68 studies were selected as the final research targets by searching the domestic academic database ‘RISS’ from 2010 to 2021, under the theme of “Morning Sports Activities, 0 Period Physical Education, and Morning Exercise.” These include 26 domestic academic papers and 42 dissertations. The final selected documents were analyzed by dividing the research status of morning sports activities (publishment year, research subject, research method), morning sports activity program (operational event, period, number of operations, operating time), and morning sports activity effect (cognitive effect, affective effect, psychodynamic effect).
Results In the research status of morning physical activities, the publication years with the highest research activity were 2013 (11 studies) and 2015 (11 studies). The study subjects were primarily elementary students (33 studies), followed by high school students (15 studies), middle school students (12 studies), and teachers (4 studies). In terms of research methods, quantitative research (52 studies) was the most common, followed by qualitative research (12 studies) and mixed-methods research (4 studies). Regarding morning physical activity programs, many programs incorporated a mix of activities rather than single activities, with a duration of 12 weeks being the most common (10 studies). The frequency of activity sessions per week included 5 sessions (12 studies), 3 sessions (9 studies), 2 sessions (8 studies), and some cases of voluntary participation. The duration of each activity session was often 40 minutes (18 studies), followed by 30 minutes (11 studies), 50 minutes (5 studies), and 60 minutes (5 studies). In terms of the effects of morning physical activities, they were categorized into cognitive effects related to academic achievement and concentration (21 studies), affective and attitude-related effects, as well as interpersonal relationship-related effects (42 studies), and physical health and fitness-related effects (20 studies).
Conclusions Future research challenges were proposed, including diversifying the research subjects, overcoming research biases, and enhancing the expertise and systematic nature of research.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mothers' parenting attitudes and smartphone overdependence on children's attachment stability.
Methods The participants were 185 parents of children's in D city and G city who were in kindergartens and childcare centers. To examine the relationship between mothers' parenting attitude, smartphone overdependence, and children's attachment stability. we conducted analyses including means, correlations, and multiple regression analysis.
Results The results of this study are as follows. First, The difference in smartphone overdependence according to the level of smartphone use and use of mothers and children's was confirmed. Second, Mother's parenting attitude and smartphone overdependence are negatively correlated, the mother's parenting attitude and attachment stability are positively correlated, there was a negative correlation between children's smartphone overdependence and attachment stability. Third, In the relationship between affectionate parenting attitudes and attachment stability of children's smartphone overdependence was found to have a partial mediating effect.
Conclusions These results confirmed that the mother's affectionate parenting attitude and excessive use of smartphones were significant for the attachment stability of children's, this suggests that intervention is needed in consideration of the mother's parenting attitude and smartphone overdependence as a way to support the stable attachment stability of children's.

Objectives This study revealed that personality education is likely to be linked to education of sustainable development (ESD) by analyzing personality education and ESD, and suggested ways to link personality education and ESD.
Methods To this end, a literature study was conducted to analyze prior research on personality education and ESD. In order to improve the validity, four experts were interviewed to collect opinions on personality education capabilities and elements, ESD capabilities and their relationships, and personality cultivation and sustainable development education capabilities.
Results First, the personailty education element means a direction as a result of education. Personality education elements and personality education competencies should be cultivated together in a close relationship. Personality factors and personality core competencies were set up as self-respect, sincerity, honesty, courage, wisdom, self-regulation, consideration and communication, social responsibility, courtesy and justice, positive self-consciousness.

Published: December 2023

Objectives To set the empathic ability of early childhood teachers, which affects young children's peer play interactions, as an independent variable and teacher-child interaction as a mediating variable, and to analyze the structural relationship between the variables.
Methods A survey was conducted targeting 91 early childhood teachers and 343 5-year-old children located in S City, G Province, K City, and J Province to confirm the structural relationship between variables related to children's peer play interaction, and the collected data conducted path analysis using structural equations with PASW 24.0 and AMOS 18.0.
Results As a result of confirming the structural relationship according to the research question, first, there is a positive correlation between the independent variable, the early childhood teacher's empathy ability, and the mediating variable, teacher-child interaction, and the independent variable, the early childhood teacher's empathy ability, the mediating variable, teacher-child interaction. Among children's peer play interactions, there was a positive correlation with the dependent variable ‘play interaction’, a negative correlation with ‘play disruption’, and no correlation with ‘play interruption’. Secondly, The influence of this dependent variable on children's peer play interaction was confirmed to have a larger indirect effect than a direct effect when mediated by teacher-infant interaction. In addition, it was confirmed that the early childhood teacher's empathy ability showed only a direct effect on teacher-child interaction, and that the mediating variable, teacher-child interaction, also had a direct effect on the dependent variable, children's peer play interaction.
Conclusions Although the early childhood teacher's empathy ability is significant as a variable that affects children's peer play interactions, it can be predicted that teacher-child interaction is a variable that has a more meaningful impact. This suggests that re-education of teacher-infant interaction that can be practically used in the field is necessary to improve the quality of children's peer play interactions.
