ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ ROBOTİK PROGRAMLAMADA AKIŞ, KAYGI ve BİLİŞSEL YÜK SEVİYELERİ
Authors: ŞİŞMAN Burak , KÜÇÜK Sevda
Published: March 2020

The aim of this study was to compare pre-service teachers’ flow experience, anxiety and cognitive loads in the process of robotics programming, based on whether they were experienced or inexperienced. The sample of the study consisted of 19 pre-service teachers (16 females, 3 males) from different specialties. Within the scope of the study, pre-service teachers carried out five robotics programming activities. Two of these activities were grouped as beginner level and three as experience-requiring activities. The Flow Experience Scale and the Cognitive Load Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used in the analysis of the data. It was found that, in general, the flow experience and cognitive load levels of the pre-service teachers were high, and their anxiety levels were low in the process of robotics programming. It was also found that the pre-service teachers’ level of flow experience was significantly higher, and their cognitive loads were lower if they were experienced. Anxiety levels were not significantly different in the either case. The results were discussed, and suggestions were presented in order to guide future studies.

Bu çalışmada; uygulayıcı olarak öğretmen adaylarının
ters yüz edilmiş sınıf uygulamalarına yönelik genel görüşlerinin ortaya
çıkarılması ve geleneksel öğrenme yaklaşımlarından farklı olarak
gerçekleştirdikleri aktivitelerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Durum çalışması
desenine göre şekillendirilen bu araştırmada odak grup görüşmesi veri toplama
yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 8 öğretmen adayı
amaca uygun örneklem seçim yöntemiyle çalışma grubuna dahil edilmiştir. Verilerin
toplanmasında araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış
görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi
kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ters yüz edilmiş sınıf etkinliklerinin geleneksel
öğrenme sürecine göre öğreticilerin daha fazla zamanını aldığı ve daha fazla
çaba gerektirdiği görülmüştür. Özellikle öğreticilerin dersin hazırlık
aşamasında ve sınıf öncesi süreçte daha aktif rol aldıkları belirtilmiştir.
Özellikle ters yüz edilmiş sınıf uygulamalarında hazırlanan ders içeriklerinin
daha açık ve anlaşılır olması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Ayrıca ders öncesi
gerçekleştirilen aktiviteler sayesinde öğrencilerin yüz yüze derslere daha
aktif katılımının sağlandığı ve hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerinin arttığı
öğreticilerin belirttiği olumlu etkiler arasındadır. Ayrıca bu uygulamaların
bireysel farklılıkları da azaltarak öğrenmeye olumlu etki sağladığı
düşünülmektedir.
"DİJİTAL YAŞAMDA ÇOCUK" KİTABI ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Published: March 2020

Bilgi çağı,
yenilikleri ve anlayışlarıyla durdurulamaz bir hız ve biçimde yaşamlarımıza
sızmakta; bu süreçte gündelik alışkanlıklarımızdan iş yapma biçimlerimize,
dilimizden kültürel kalıplarımıza pek çok yaşam unsuru köklü biçimde
başkalaşmakta, yeniden tanımlanmakta ve anlam bulmaktadır. Dönüşümün ekonomik
ve toplumsal doğurguları, eğitim olgusu ve ilişkili kavramlara yüklenen değer
ve anlamları da derinden etkilemekte; öğrenci merkezli öğrenme anlayışı, 21. yüzyıl
becerileri ve bilgi çağı öğrenci profili gibi bir dizi yeni kavramı genelde
eğitim bilimcilerin özelde biz eğitim teknologlarının karşısına getirmektedir.

20. yüzyılın
başlarından beri, eğitim sistemindeki değişimlerin temeline iki başat dinamik
olarak yeni çağın endüstriyel gerekleri ve öğrenme psikolojisi alanındaki
gelişmeler oturtulmakta; nasıl öğrendiğimize ilişkin güncel yaklaşımlarla
geleceğin ekonomik ve toplumsal gereksinimlerine çözüm üretilmeye
çalışılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bilgi çağı çocukluk olgusunu sosyokültürel
manada önemli biçimde değiştirmektedir. Belki de yeni eğitim anlayışı ve
kavramlarının çocuk ve çocuklukta meydana gelen bu değişimi daha yakından
tanıması ve anlaması, uygulamada da yeni çağın çocuğunu daha iyi “yakalaması”nın
temel bir yoludur. Bu yazıda, bu bakışla, Türk eğitimbilim alanyazınında önemli
bir boşluğu giderdiği düşünülen “Dijital
Yaşamda Çocuk” adlı kitap incelenmeye çalışılmaktadır.

İnceleme
sürecinde karşılaşılan iki temel güçlük; çocuk-dijital dünya ilişkisinin güncel
uçlarından eğitim sisteminin felsefi köklerine değin uzanan bu kitabı kapsam ve
derinliğini koruyarak değerlendirmek olmuştur. Yine bu noktada yanlılıktan
kaçınabilmek, bununla birlikte kişisel değerlendirmeleri de açıkça ifade etmek
önemli iki ölçüt olarak gözetilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda tüm bölümlere ilişkin izlenimler
kısaca betimlenmeye çalışılmış, sonrasında genel bir değerlendirmeye yer verilmiştir.
Okuyucunun metnin uzunluğunu bu hassasiyetler çerçevesinde değerlendireceği düşünülmektedir.

Araştırmada, Eğitim Bilişim
Ağı (EBA) üzerinden ulaşılabilen ortaokul Türkçe dersine yönelik doküman
türündeki içeriklerin sınıf
seviyesi, kazanım, tür, doküman adı ve izlenme oranı açısından
değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yaklaşımı esas
alınmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde de nitel yaklaşıma uygun olarak doküman
incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini, EBA içerik modülüne 2012
yılından 5 Kasım 2017 tarihine kadar yüklenmiş olan ortaokul Türkçe dersi ile
ilgili dokümanlar oluşturmaktadır. Örneklemdeki dokümanlara internet üzerinden
erişilmiş ve araştırma amacına bağlı olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Araştırma
sonucunda; en fazla okuma öğrenme alanına ait dokümanın içerik modülünde yer
aldığı ve bu içeriklerin önemli bir kısmının söz varlığı kazanımlarına yönelik
olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Okuma öğrenme alanından sonra yazma alanı ile ilgili
içeriklerin çoğunlukta olduğu görülmüştür. Bunlarla birlikte EBA’da
dinleme/izleme alanına yönelik 1 dokümanın olması yine konuşma öğrenme alanına
yönelik hiçbir dokümanın bulunmaması bu alanların ihmal edildiğini
göstermektedir.

Published: March 2020

The study conducted in arid areas of Dera Ghazi Khan occasionally affected by hill torrents (Suri-Lund, Vidore, Sakhi-Sarwar, Mithawan) coming from Koh-e-Suleman range. The study found that hill torrent water is used for agriculture, domestic and livestock. The management of this water significantly affects on income, crop yield, soil fertility, health conditions and living standard of farmers. The local cost effective methods to store this water include wah, dubba and bundh but most of water is wasted as they are insufficient. The water distribution mechanism fosters cooperation and helps to form new relations with co-farmers. The study suggested that government and NGOs should help people to construct concrete diversions, bundhs, ponds and dams to manage hill torrent water.
A Theological Study of Nissim Ezekiel’s Religious Outlook
Authors: Karmakar Goutam
Published: March 2020

As the centuries passed by, the galaxy of Indian English Poetry become increasingly crowded. But the scenario was not like this during the early years. It is because only a few stars shine there, and Nissim Ezekiel is the pole star. His poetry contains so many aspects, themes, motives and symbols that sharpen and shape his poetic world. His poetry often shows irony, emotion, love, man-woman relationship, self- consciousness, a sense of discipline and self – criticism. He shows his concern for both modern and urban art and culture with the touch of Indian ethos and local colour. But as an Indian poet, he shows his thinking about God and religion in a vivid way. He also shows his changing view towards God and Indian theology in his poems. In this paper, I have tried to show Ezekiel’s religious outlook and aspects through some of his verses.
Impact of Psychological Well-Being on the Vocabulary Acquisition Level of Nigerian Adolescents Learning French Language in Rural Settings
Authors: Olubunmi Adejumo Gbadebo , Tar Maryam
Published: March 2020

There is now clearer recognition that, in a country as culturally and linguistically diverse as Nigeria, specific attention must be paid to the mental readiness of learners especially in acquiring language different from their first language or lingua franca such as French language. Vocabulary acquisition is part of the psychology of foreign language learning that has received short shrift from applied linguistics, and has been very largely neglected by recent developments in research. This study therefore examined the impact of psychological well-being on the vocabulary acquisition level of Nigerian adolescents learning French language in rural settings. Survey research design was adopted in this study. Sixty eight students from fourteen secondary schools were randomly selected for this study with age range 15 to 18 years. They were made up of 38 males representing 52.9% and 30 females representing 47.1%. Out of this sample 42% were in SS1, 36% in SS2 and 22% in SS3.  All these students had French language as one of subjects they were taking in school. These schools were located in rural areas in Ogun and Oyo states, Southwest Nigeria. A questionnaire was developed to measure students’ psychological well being while cloze test was used to measure vocabulary acquisition level. The two instruments yielded 0.78, and 0.76 test-retest reliability respectively with 0, 64 Cronbach Alpha for Psychological well being measure and 0.66 for cloze test. The findings revealed low level of performance in the five subscales of Psychological Well being Measure, self-acceptance, quality ties to other, autonomy in thought and action, the ability to manage complex environments to suit personal needs and values, the pursuit of meaningful goals and a sense of purpose in life and continued growth and development as a person.  The study equally reported low level of vocabulary acquisition of French language across all the levels.  A significant impact of psychological wellbeing on the vocabulary acquisition of French language was found at r=0.62, adj r2=0.59 and f(1,66)= 48.26, p<0.05. It was concluded that improved psychological wellbeing will definitely leads to high level of vocabulary acquisition of French language among students even in rural areas. It was recommended that health-promoting factors for maintaining good health should be strengthened in learners for positive learning outcomes.

Exploring Language Learning Style Preferences of the ELT Graduate Students
Authors: Rafique Rumana
Published: March 2020

The paper aims at discovering the language learning style preferences of the ELT graduate students of the English Department of the University of Dhaka. The paper explores the students’ learning style preferences based on Reid’s (1984) six perceptual learning style categories such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, group and individual style preferences. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a questionnaire and interview of the ELT students of a public university in Bangladesh. The results revealed that the ELT students are more or less aware of their own learning styles and the way they learn better. It was found out from the study that majority of the students preferred the auditory style of learning while individual style is the least preferred. The study also brings students’ opinions regarding learning styles in the field of learning ESL (English as a Second Language) or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) to light. The paper then discusses the implications of the findings and offers some recommendations regarding the need to identify students’ learning styles in Bangladeshi classroom.
Evaluating the Ramifications of ESP Vocabulary Instruction through Facilitating Cognitive Processing
Authors: Kuo Shiue-mei
Published: March 2020

This study examines English for General Purposes’ (EGP) words that take on specialized meanings in particular contexts. For English native speakers, it may be easy to differentiate between these according to context, but it is challenging for non-native speakers to build cognitive awareness of the divergence between English for Specific Purposes’ (ESP) and EGP vocabulary usage. There are also conceptual metaphors within the ESP vocabulary that require cultural understanding or unequivocal definition guidance. Strengthening students’ proficiency in navigating the demands of professional fields is the ultimate goal of practitioners. As has been observed during language practice, building ESP vocabulary is the imperative groundwork for non-native speakers to establish their language skills in their specialized occupational fields to enhance employability. This study undertakes a comparison of ESP vocabulary proficiency between an experimental and a control group. The experimental group is comprised of learners who undertook cognitive processing training through learning strategies in business English courses, in which vocabulary was presented to students in ways that aimed to facilitate cognitive processing of ESP vocabulary acquisition. The control group is comprised of learners who took English vocabulary courses adopting conventional approaches toward intensifying their vocabulary volume. The outcome indicates that the experimental group significantly outperforms the control group in ESP vocabulary proficiency level. Examining these two groups allows us to explore the extent of the enhancement rate of vocabulary learning provided by ESP cognitive strategies’ training. Implications for future ESP reinforcement plans are also discussed in accordance with the findings.
Legal Responses to IPR Infringement in Internet Sphere
Authors: Islam Mahbubl
Published: March 2020

The emergence of the Internet has changed the ways in which we create, distribute, access, and use information. The Internet provides manifold opportunities for users, operators, businesses, and the public at large for speedy, cheap, and global dissemination of information, knowledge, research, and entertainment. At the same time, it also poses complex conceptual and empirical challenges for intellectual property and related rights. Works of intellectual property can be digitized and transferred over the Internet. Many trademarks have been placed on it by the companies for advertising and marketing goods and services. In the field of copyright, a number of works of literature, film and art, and notably computer programs, have been transferred over the Internet. The patent system has also migrated onto the Internet. It is now popular for companies to patent their online business methods. In the Internet Sphere, the infringer can easily misdirect consumers to its website by using another’s trademark as a meta-tag, and it is also easy to copy and distribute other’s copyright materials unlawfully. Due to global nature of the Internet, an Internet IP infringement usually happens not only within one country but also across borders. All of these have raised many difficulties for the protection of IPRs in Internet sphere. Therefore everyone has been dubious of what the actual laws concerning Intellectual Property rights are in relation to Internet sphere. Today the Internet explosion has made the question of how to enforce IP law on a global scale as an imperative issue. In this Article, the author tries to accentuate the existing as well as changing IPR challenges brought about by the Internet and project what issues a national legislature should consider to meet the demands of the digital revolution. The core object of this study is to scrutinize the compelling factors behind the Intellectual Property Rights Infringements through the Internet and investigate the existing Legal Responses in International, Regional and Local levels. However, the findings demonstrate that mass-awareness, consensus and mutual co-operation among the developed and developing countries, proper enforcement of the existing laws as well as bringing amendments to some areas of Law can be cited as a potential solution.

Published: March 2020

Se evaluó la durabilidad natural de la madera de O. pyramidale en el municipio de Atrato, Chocó. En cada uno de los ambientes: bajo dosel de árboles BDA, libre exposición LE y bajo sombra de plástico negro BS, se empleó un diseño de bloques completamente al azar, conformado por tres tratamientos y tres repeticiones de 30 probetas cada uno. Los resultados del análisis de varianza sugieren que no existe diferencia significativa para el contenido de humedad  y la pérdida de masa. Se experimentó un aumento en el contenido de humedad de 119,32% y 90,63% de las probetas ubicadas a LE y BS, respectivamente. Basados en estas características, la madera de O. pyramidale se ubica en la categoría poco resistente, por lo que se puede inferir que, no es apta para construcciones que queden en contacto directo con el suelo, donde es afectada por diversos agentes de biodeterioro.

Published: March 2020

Goiaba-serrana, a fruit species native to the southern region of Brazil, is promising in ecological and commercial terms. The species propagates naturally through sexual (seeds); however, it may be produced by cutting, grafting, and micropropagation. Several fungal genera can be associated with seeds and be transmitted to seedlings. Thus, this study aimed to identify fungal genera and to analyze different substrates for the germination of Acca sellowiana, associated with seeds from a different origin. To evaluate the microorganisms associated with the seeds, the method of incubation on a paper substrate (“blotter test”) was used. The germination test was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a factorial scheme, (2 x 4), with 4 repetitions of 25 seeds per substrate and lot. The factors corresponded to two origin (Serafina Corrêa and Vacaria, state of Rio Grande do Sul) and four substrates (sand, paper roll, on paper and vermiculite). The fungal genera associated with goiaba-serrana seeds were: Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp. and Trichoderma spp. The sanity test showed the origin influences the incidence of fungi in the seeds and physiological quality. Moreover, the origin of Serafina Corrêa presented better physiological quality in relation to the Vacaria lot. Any of the substrates used can be used for the germination of goiabaserrana seeds.

Authors: Razyani Borahn , Salehi Akbar , Mehdi Sajadi Sayed
Published: March 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is a critical discourse analysis of position and role of women in the contemporary Iranian feminist, based upon Norman Fairclough theory as well as writings, books, speech and stories of feminists, such as Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani, at three levels: 1) description 2) interpretation and 3) explanation.

Methodology: Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis is used as a research method. “Discourse analysis” methodology seeks to study production structure and its general relationship using apparent effects of speech and writing, in critical discourse analysis, examined texts at three levels of description, interpretation, and explanation. The researcher accurately analyzed the works of Ahmadi Khorasani at three levels of description, interpretation, and explanation.

Main Findings: findings indicate that, at the description level, highly frequent words referring to “women” and “family” have limited the women’s rights. At the interpretation level, writings and stories portray a very pathetic image of a woman; at the explanation level, sexual view, dominant patriarchal discourse, and power ruling women can be seen in the stories.

Applications of this study: Application of this study can be used for the analysis of other writing in all over writers, special writers who work about women's rights and Women's Education. Also, finding this research help another researcher in doing critically studies for improving his/her research. Finally using this finding of research can help the reader to find hidden Ideology in writing.

Novelty/Originality of this study: one of the main new aspects of this research is to paying attention to view’s Noshin Ahmadi Korasani. She is one of the women who try to change the law about human rights in Iran. There is no research about her writings & stories, especially from the critical aspect, so this research and finding is new research about women's rights.

The first part of the introduction shows that gender/gender perspective has become one of the basic and essential cognitive category to understand the social world at its various levels, has also universal and widespread structural and strat­ification meaning. The second part of the introduction presents six articles that show all the richness and complexity of gender perspective in social research. The contributions are devoted to the issues con­nected with the media images of masculinity; the critical reflection on contemporary Polish television series, in particular the ways they tackle narratives that include instances of violence against women; the under-representation of media coverages of women’s sports; experiences of infertility and the social expectations towards women until they receive a diagnosis of infertility; medical views on transgender and their influence on self-perception among trans people; and the process of gendering memory as a counterpoint to the politicization of memory. The diversity of contents presented within individual texts illustrates how multi-faceted the considerations of gender issues are.
The Category of Masculinity in the Polish Media Discourse on Robert Lewandowski
Authors: Arcimowicz Krzysztof
Published: March 2020

The fundamental objective of the studies was to reconstruct and analyze the category of masculinity in the media discourse that refers to Robert Lewandowski as well as to describe and interpret the most important discursive strategies used in creating the image of the footballer. The research material includes almost 120 Polish-language media messages: mainly Internet articles, commercial spots, and interviews, all of which appeared in the years 2013-2019. This article presents the results of the critical analysis of the discourse, including proposals of the discourse-historical approach. The prime theoretical framework of the studies is made up of the theory of hegemonic masculinity on the one hand and the theory of inclusive masculinity on the other, as well as the concept of caring masculinities. The discourse on Lewandowski is not homogeneous; it includes elements derived from different versions of masculinity. The discourse is divided into two parts: one connected with the professional sphere and the other referring to the private. The strategies describing the footballer’s professional life are quite conservative. The elements of the highest importance within this part of the discourse include hard work, success, rivalry, and the mesomorph body type. The part of the discourse referring to the footballer’s family life is dominated by the strategies connected with the concept of caring masculinities and the notion of egalitarian relationship even though it is not completely free from the traditional gender roles.
Violence against Women as Reflected in the Polish Television Series "A Second Chance"
Authors: Różalska Aleksandra M.
Published: March 2020

The aim of this article is to provide a critical reflection on contemporary Polish television series, in particular the ways in which they tackle narratives that include instances of violence against women (VAW). The analysis is based on the example of the show titled Druga szansa (A Second Chance), broadcast in 2016-2018 by a commercial network TVN. Recent research shows that there are some common, repetitive ways in which media represent violence against women, its circumstances and reasons, as well as the portrayals of victims and perpetrators. The author looks at VAW in the selected television series in the context of the #MeToo movement and of the gender-related debates in Poland. The conclusion is that the chosen television series considers VAW as a serious social problem and has the potential to sensitize audiences by representing it in an unbiased, complex, and nuanced way. However, it fails to address its wider socio-cultural aspect resulting from patriarchal structures and gender inequality.
Gendering Memory: Intersectional Aspects of the Polish Politics of Memory
Authors: Kuźma Inga B. , Pietrzak Edyta
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the process of gendering memory as a counterpoint to the politicization of memory observed in the Polish context. The core problem of the paper is a description of a local case of this type of gender ‘memory practising’ in the area of the public urban sphere, specifically one created by the Łódź Women’s Heritage Trail Foundation (https://www.facebook.com/ŁódźkiSzlakKobiet) – a gender-profiled female grass-roots initiative that is concerned with the city’s past. The article consists of three main parts referring to, respectively, the functioning of memory in the urban public sphere as a form of dialogue (hemerneutic-interpretative anthropology with Jurgen Habermas’ and Seyla Benhabib’s theories is the theoretical foundation here), the process of gendering memory (appearing alongside the narrative phrase and feminist proposals for the interpretation of memory as a form of its pluralization), and the presentation of the activities within the Łódź Women’s HeritageTrail Foundation’s particular initiative – namely ‘Women Routes in Łódź’ – as a kind of case study for the city as a landscape of memory. The paper deals with the tension observed between the politics of memory and the political practice, and the alternative memories that arise from the idea of multiplicity and polyphony, including the voice of women. The authors raise the issue of the genderization of memory in the context of an inquiry into how the pluralism of collective memory and the diversification of the public sphere develops as a result of the discourses and operation of the alternative memory, including gender-focused memory.

The present investigation was carried out at the Students’ Instructional Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya to evaluate a line x tester set of 45 hybrids (F1’s) and their 18 parents alongwith two checks for twelve characters. Forty-five crosses were constituted in Rabi, 2016-2017, whereas parents and crosses were evaluated in a yield trial in Rabi 2017-2018, in a randomized complete block design of three replications. Results revealed highly significant variations within parents and F1 genotypes indicating a wide genetic variability for the studied characters and the possibility of genetic improvement using such genetic material of faba bean. Parents, HB 10, HB 50, EC 454751 and EC 301470 showed desirable and significant GCA effects for grain yield per plant and some of the yield contributing traits to emerge as valuable donor parents for hybridization programme. Out of forty-five, eleven crosses emerged with positive and significant SCA effects for grain yield per plant. The high estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation and high heritability in broad sense alongwith high genetic advance in per cent of mean were recorded for number of pods per plant. A wide range of variation in the estimates of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis in positive and negative direction was observed for grain yield per plant as well as remaining eleven traits. In case of grain yield per plant, heterobeltiosis ranged from -35.75 to 100.74 per cent, standard heterosis varied from -35.10 to 46.30 per cent over SV1 (HFB 1) and from -33.26 to 50.46 per cent over SV2 (Vikrant).

Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the connection between the replicative activity of HBV DNA and HDV RNA with the formation of CP at all stages of development of chronic hepatitis of viral nature, evidence that a high level of HBV DNA is a pronounced predictor of liver cirrhosis (LC) progression. The purpose of the study is to study the dependence of the severity of liver damage on the replicative activity of the hepatitis B virus and D. Materials and methods. The study included 67 patients with cirrhosis of the liver in the outcome of viral hepatitis B and 140 patients with an outcome of cirrhosis against the background of chronic hepatitis B + D. The clinical stage of LC was determined according to the Child-Puy classification. Results. A direct link has been established between the increase in the viral load of HBV DNA and HDV RNA with the duration of the disease. A tendency was revealed to increase the severity of the disease in patients with LC of viral etiology with an increase in viral load. The biochemical indices of blood showed a tendency to an increase in the level of cytolytic enzymes against the background of high replicative activity of HBV DNA and HDV RNA. The conclusion. Thus, a high level of HBV DNA is a pronounced predictor of the progression of LC at all stages of the pathological proces

The article presents a description of two clinical cases of “Larva migrans cutanea”. These patients had intolerable itching sensations in the skin lesions that appeared after returning from tropical countries. Clinical presentation was visualized by erythema with clear boundaries and serpiginous intradermal tracks. The diagnosis was verified on the basis of complaints, anamnesis and a characteristic clinical presentation. The treatment was included antihelmintic drug Albendazole. In both cases patients were recovered. Larva migrans cutanea with prompt and appropriate treatment lends itself well to therapy with rapid achievement of the positive effect without development of complications.
Insider Perceptions of Family and Disability Psychological, Social, and Spiritual Dimensions
Authors: Jenkins Benjamin C. , Graf Noreen M.
Published: March 2020

Despite an abundance of research and literature documenting the experience of disability in the family, the viewpoint of the individual with the disability has largely been excluded from previous research. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of individuals with disabilities regarding the impact of disability on their families in the psychological, social, and spiritual domains. A total of 410 persons with disabilities (PWDs) responded to the Insider Perception of Family and Disability (IPFD) questionnaire developed for this study. Overall results reveal that PWDs often disagree with the extant literature. Recommendations derived from this study include actively seeking the perceptions of PWDs when considering family dynamics and experience of disability in research and practice.
