ABSTRAK Cabaran dihadapi guru pelatih di Malaysia berpotensi menyebabkan tekanan dan mengganggu kehidupan harian mereka. Kajian cabaran guru pelatih merupakan inisiatif dalam menyumbang idea baharu untuk memperbaiki karier mereka pada masa hadapan. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan menentukur cabaran – cabaran guru pelatih yang menjalani praktikum program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Pendidikan (PISMP) di Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG). Seramai 73 orang responden guru pelatih telah dipilih menggunakan teknik pensampelan rawak berkelompok. Reka bentuk kajian tinjauan dengan soal selidik telah digunakan. Sebanyak 58 item merangkumi lapan konstruk utama seperti pembangunan sikap, penyediaan Rancangan Pengajaran Harian (RPH), bahan pengajaran, beban tugas, hubungan dengan pihak sekolah, hubungan dengan pelajar, penyeliaan pembimbing dan kemudahan telah dibentuk berdasarkan kajian literatur. Nilai logit daripada Model Rasch menggunakan perisian SPSS 23.0 dan WINSTEPS 3.71.0.1 digunakan bagi menentukur cabaran utama oleh guru pelatih. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan konstruk bahan pengajaran (min = 1.13 logit) merupakan cabaran paling besar dihadapi guru pelatih, diikuti konstruk beban tugas (min = 0.27 logit) dan pembangunan sikap (min = 0.17 logit). Sebaliknya, konstruk penyeliaan pembimbing (min = -0.61 logit) dan konstruk hubungan dengan pihak sekolah (min = -0.62 logit) merupakan cabaran yang paling kurang dominan. Dapatan terperinci menerusi analisis item turut mendapati item 21 (perbelanjaan), item 18 (bahan bantu mengajar) dan item 23 (projek tambahan) merupakan tiga cabaran utama dalam kalangan guru pelatih. Manakala tiga cabaran paling tidak dominan adalah item 44 (bantuan pensyarah pembimbing), item 50 (tunjuk ajar guru pembimbing) dan item 52 (kemahiran guru pembimbing). Cabaran-cabaran ini perlu dibincangkan secara lebih mendalam supaya pihak IPG boleh merangka program bersesuaian bagi memastikan mereka bersedia menghadapi cabaran baharu mendatang. Oleh kerana cabaran setiap bidang adalah unik, maka kajian lanjutan boleh dijalankan dengan memfokuskan kepada bidang pengkhususan. Beberapa cadangan turut diberikan bagi memastikan guru pelatih di IPG terus kekal relevan dalam arena pendidikan. Kata Kunci: cabaran, guru pelatih, PISMP, IPG, Model Rasch, praktikum

Remittances and Poverty: A Comparison of Bangladesh and Pakistan, 2000–2016
Authors:   Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies, Islam Rizwana
Published: May 2024

The process of economic growth and development involves transformation of the structure of economies that results in a reduction in the share of agriculture and a rise in the share of industries and services in total output as well as employment. Although manufacturing is expected to play the role of the engine of growth and absorption of surplus labour, the experience of developing countries shows that all countries have not been equally successful in this regard. That has led to the search for alternative pathways to the absorption of surplus labour. The present paper addresses this question with particular focus on selected countries of South Asia, viz. Bangladesh, India and Nepal. The analysis is more detailed on Bangladesh, and focuses on whether surplus labour has been exhausted and on how effective the alternative pathways can be. The empirical evidence presented in this paper indicates that it is difficult to utilise the available surplus labour fully and productively without industrialisation. Of course, there are differences in conditions and possibilities even within South Asia. But the limitations of the service sector as an engine of overall economic growth and as a means of absorbing surplus labour seem to be clear. For Bangladesh, data on real wage trends and the persistence of low quality employment show that despite labour market tightening, the economy of the country continues to exhibit signs of the existence of surplus labour.

Published: May 2024

Após a publicação de Jeannette Wing em 2006, o conceito de pensamento computacional ganhou destaque na mídia e nas publicações científicas. Surgiram eventos científicos e iniciativas tanto públicas quanto privadas com o objetivo de debater e promover o pensamento computacional desde o ensino básico. Este artigo tem como propósito examinar o impacto dessa publicação sobre os trabalhos publicados a partir de 2006 na Revista Brasileira de Informática (RBIE). Para isso, foram catalogados e classificados cerca de 600 artigos que abrangem o período de 1997 a 2022. Com base nessa classificação, foram conduzidas análises que indicaram um aumento na média anual de publicações relacionadas ao ensino de programação após 2006. No entanto, essa análise preliminar não conseguiu identificar quais foram os efeitos diretos, indiretos e outros fatores que contribuíram para esse acréscimo no número médio anual de publicações. Apesar da falta de um resultado conclusivo, este estudo levanta uma questão interessante e apresenta indicadores relevantes, ao mesmo tempo que estabelece uma base de dados que poderá ser útil em pesquisas futuras.

The Development and Content Validation of Brief ICF Category Sets for 6 - 12-Year-Old Children with Cerebral Palsy, from the Perspective of Iranian Occupational Therapists
Authors: Amiri Alireza , Hosseini Ali , Akbarfahimi Nazila , Ebadi Abbas
Published: May 2024

Background: There is uncertainty in identifying which aspects of functioning should be prioritized in the clinical brief assessment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Brief ICF category sets specify the essential aspects of functioning that should be addressed in such assessments. Objectives: This study aimed to develop five brief ICF category sets based on the functional limitations of children with CP, as viewed by Iranian occupational therapists (OTs). Methods: This cross-sectional, multi-method study was conducted from January to May 2022 in Iran. Nineteen OTs were recruited through purposive sampling for a Delphi process, and ten OTs through snowball sampling for an expert panel, all experienced in CP and ICF. The Delphi involved two rounds of electronic surveys, where participants identified categories that should be minimally addressed in brief assessments of children aged 6 - 12 with CP based on their functional limitations. The content validity of these sets was then quantitatively evaluated by the expert panel. Results: Most confirmed categories in the gross and fine motor brief sets pertained to body structure and function, while those in the eating-and-drinking and communication-function brief sets related to cognition and motor reflexes. Categories in the visual function brief set mostly pertained to activity, participation, and environmental factors. Content validity ratio (CVR) and item-content validity indexes (I-CVI) ranged from 0.80 to 1 across all categories/brief sets, with scale-content validity index/Average (S-CVI/Ave) ranging from 0.95 to 0.98. Conclusions: These functional-based ICF brief sets are the first developed for children with CP in this age group and provide occupational therapists with tools to address crucial aspects of functioning, tailored to specific functional limitations. However, cultural biases and the generalizability of these brief sets remain limitations.

Published: May 2024

Background: At the professional and semi-professional levels, female athletes are confused about choosing the right diet and providing calories, and this causes some physical and hormonal disorders such as triple complications in them. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of triple complications among female athletes of Isfahan University. Methods: For this purpose, 141 Female athletes with an age range of 19 - 25 years in six different sports fields were selected as available samples. Anthropometric indices were measured using a height meter and a scale. To determine eating disorders from the questionnaire (EAT-26) and the general menstrual status questionnaire was used to evaluate the menstrual status and disorder. Results: The results showed that 91.48% of the participants had regular menstrual cycle and 8.52% had irregular menstrual cycle. In the current research, there were no people whose score was higher than 20 or equal to it. Also, female athletes did not have eating disorder or taking diuretic drugs to control and lose severe weight. To analyze the data, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey's post hoc test were used. Conclusions: Despite the studies, it seems that due to the increase in the level of awareness among female university students, the prevalence of triple complications is less. Therefore, it is suggested that in future studies, different levels of athletes should be investigated in terms of the prevalence of triple complications.

Authors: Hamarahim Fattah Chiman , Ahmed Mustafa Shekhany Khattab , Rachid Shwan
Published: May 2024

Background: Candida albicans is notably pathogenic due to its ability to form biofilms that are resistant to conventional antifungal treatments. Objectives: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Streptomyces cellulosae extract in disrupting biofilm formation by targeting specific genes within C. albicans. Methods: The study began by isolating S. cellulosae from soil and C. albicans from clinical specimens. S. cellulosae was then cultured and fermented to produce bioactive compounds. The ability of these extracts to inhibit C. albicans biofilm formation was tested using a crystal violet assay. Additionally, the effects of the S. cellulosae extracts on the expression of biofilm-related genes in C. albicans were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The growth rates of C. albicans were also measured to determine the impact of the extracts. Results: The crude extract of S. cellulosae significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited the formation of C. albicans biofilms at concentrations exceeding 0.5 µg/mL, with the inhibition becoming more pronounced at concentrations above 2.0 µg/mL. The qRT-PCR results showed significant changes in the expression of biofilm-related genes ALS1, ALS3, and EFG1 at different extract concentrations (P < 0.05). The extract also significantly affected the expression of the HWPa and BRG1 genes. Conclusions: The crude extract of Streptomyces cellulosae shows potential as a novel antibiofilm agent against C. albicans. This finding opens new avenues for research and potential therapeutic applications in combating biofilm-associated infections.

Veritatis Splendor and the Crisis in Human Rights
Authors: Glendon Mary Ann ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: May 2024

The engagement of the Catholic Church with the post-World War II international human rights project has been marked from the beginning by strong support coupled with pointed reminders of larger issues left unaddressed. In the 1990s, when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came under assault from many directions, the Catholic Church was the strongest institutional defender of the entire body of principles in that historic document. Today, with the human rights project in crisis, its future may well hinge on how its defenders deal with problems to which Church leaders have repeatedly called attention. Prominent among these is the question of what happens to freedom when man “goes off in search of an illusory freedom apart from truth itself ”(John Paul II, Veritatis splendor, n. 1).
Veritatis Splendor at Thirty
Authors: Connors Ryan ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: May 2024

Ecclesial commentators often describe the corrective function Pope St. John Paul’s 1993 encyclical letter Veritatis splendor exercised at the end of the twentieth century. Dissenting theological opinions, both from revisionist theologians of the immediate post-conciliar period and dissenting authors today, can find magisterial clarity in the encyclical. The document’s importance for an adequate understanding of the subsequent moral magisterium has received less fulsome treatment. With this essay, we examine five important and challenging teachings of the moral magisterium since the publication of Veritatis splendor that rely on the wisdom of the encyclical. In fact, a proper conception of each of these teachings will require adherence to the truths expressed in the 1993 document.

This research aimed to measure the effectiveness of the blended learning approach assisted by e-learning on student learning outcomes in the Automotive Electrical Electronics course. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent group design. The total research population was 107 students divided into 8 classes and the research sample was 30 students consisting of 15 class A students and 15 class B students. Purposive sampling was the technique used in determining the research sample. Based on suggestions from the course lecturer, it was determined that the control class was class A and the experimental class was class B. The data collection technique used documentation with data collection tools in the form of documents on student learning outcomes. The data analysis technique used was the t-test. The research results showed that the learning outcomes for class B were higher than the learning outcomes for class A. Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that the blended learning approach assisted by e-learning was effective on student learning outcomes.

ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the free lunch policy in vocational high schools in Indonesia using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis approach. The research method used is library research, with data collection and analysis from various secondary sources. The results of the analysis show that the free lunch program has the power to improve student health, provide access to nutritious food, and increase academic achievement. However, the weaknesses are budget limitations, logistical challenges, and increased administrative burdens on schools. Opportunities that can be utilized include support from local communities, nutrition awareness campaigns, and curriculum integration with health education programs. Threats that must be anticipated include food price instability, an increase in plastic waste, and food safety problems. This research provides in-depth insight into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing free lunch policies in vocational high schools. These findings open up future research opportunities to evaluate program implementation over a long period of time.
Revoluția din 1821 – o temă desuetă

Lʼarticle est une approche sur lʼévolution de lʼintérêt historiographique roumain à propos de la révolution de 1821 durant les trois dernières décennies. On constate alors, en considérant le nombre de volumes et dʼarticles publiés, une chute en désuétude de ce thème, qui tende à devenir une préoccupation surtout locale en Olténie. Les explications proposées concernent les éléments de la culture politique dominante dans lʼespace publique après 1989, qui comportent lʼidée révolutionnaire en général et la valorisation de lʼÉtats-nation notamment parmis les générations plus jeunes des historiens.
Conversion – process of naming the verbal bases in the Akathist text. Interpretation difficulties
Authors: Braguta Ecaterina
Published: May 2024

Nominalization is a process to which the languages of the world show varying degrees of sensitivity. In Romanian, this linguistic phenomenon registers an increased productivity. The main nominalization pattern is represented by the transition of verbal bases to the noun class. In the current work, we approached a less frequent procedure for nominalizing verbal bases - conversion. It is known that the main way of nominalizing verbal bases is suffixation (primarily by attaching the long infinitive suffix -re, followed by the agent suffix -tor and others). Our article deals with conversion as a procedure for nominalizing verbal radicals, using the Orthodox hymnographic text as an example material. The main problem that emerges from the analysis of the excerpted examples is the differentiation of the participle from the supine as a basis for nominalization.
The evolution of the industrial sector in Bessarabia (1868-1914): challenges and achievements
Authors: Emilciuc Andrei
Published: May 2024

In the present study, we aim to analyze how different challenges affected the evolution of the industrial branch in Bessarabia during the period 1868-1914, and to appreciate its achievements in comparison with other regions of the Russian Empire. As a result of the researched materials, we conclude that the industrial enterprises of Bessarabia experienced a certain development in the named period, compared to the previous period, which, however, was not sufficient to cope with the existing demand on the domestic market and the agricultural production capacities of the governorate. Industrial development, with the modest rates shown, was not, in fact, generated by the Russian imperial policies in the field. Rather, they reflected the degree of integration of the region into the European economy and the institutional modernization generated by this process. The gaps with the Western European pace continued to accumulate, contributing to the deepening of the peripheral character of the province’s economy, both within the Russian Empire and at the European level.
Üstün Yetenekli Çocukların Geleceğine Yön Veren Politika Belgeleri Bize Ne Söylüyor?
Authors: Yakut Özek Bahar
Published: May 2024

Türkiye'de üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitimine dair politika ve uygulamalara odaklanan bu makalede, Milli Eğitim Şuraları ve diğer politika belgelerinin bu alandaki evrimi incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, politika belgelerinin genellikle uygulamada etkisiz olduğu, özellikle üstün yetenekli çocuklara yönelik kararların yeterince hayata geçirilemediği belirtilmektedir. Bilim sanat merkezleri ve öğretmen seçimi gibi önemli konularda alınan kararlar örneklenmiş, ancak bu kararların çoğunluğunun uygulanamadığı vurgulanmıştır. Üstün yetenekli çocukların tespiti için geliştirilen Anadolu Sak Zeka Ölçeği'nin önemine değinilmiş, ancak genel olarak 18. Milli Eğitim Şurası'nda BİLSEM'lerin dönüşümüne yönelik önemli adımların atıldığı gözlemlenmemiştir. Ayrıca, politika belgeleri arasında Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Araştırma Komisyonu Raporu, Stratejik Eylem Planı ve Vizyon 2023 Belgesi'nin etkisi üzerinde durulmuş, ancak bu belgelerin genelde üstün yetenekli çocuklara yönelik politikaların oluşturulmasında ne kadar etkili olduğu sorusu açık kalmıştır. MEB'in 2013 ve 2018'de yayınladığı eylem planları, üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitimine yönelik stratejik amaçları ve hedefleri içermiştir. Ancak, belgelerin uygulamadaki etkinliği ve BİLSEM'lerin güçlendirilmesi konusundaki somut adımların detaylandırılmamış olması, politikaların tam anlamıyla hayata geçirilip geçirilemediği konusunda belirsizlik yaratmaktadır. Bu makale, üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitimine yönelik politika ve uygulamalardaki mevcut durumu değerlendirir ve gelecekte atılacak adımların üzerine düşünmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Background: Minimizing air aspiration by carefully filling blood gas syringes is crucial to prevent air contamination from causing undesirable variations in gasses and other molecules. While some previous studies investigated this aspect, these are now outdated and only analyzed a limited number of blood gas parameters. Thus, we investigated the effects air contamination in the syringe using a modern blood gas analyzer. Methods: We sampled venous blood from 17 laboratory workers (mean age: 46±11 years; 10 women), filling two consecutive blood gas syringes. The first was filled exactly to its nominal volume (i.e., 1.0 mL), while the second was filled with 0.8 mL of blood and 0.2 mL of ambient air. Blood gas analysis was performed in each syringe using an identical analyzer. Results: In the syringe with the air bubble, we found statistically significant increase in pH (0.1%), pO2 (10.8%), SO2 (11.2%), total hemoglobin (3.0%), and hematocrit (2.7%), while values of pCO2 (-4.8%), sodium (-0.5%), and ionized calcium (-1.3%) were significantly reduced. With exception of pH, all these changes exceeded the performance specifications. Potassium, chloride, glucose, lactate, COHb and MetHb values remained unchanged. Conclusions: These findings confirm that air bubbles must be removed as soon as possible after sampling from blood gas syringes to prevent artifactual test results and misleading clinical judgment and inappropriate treatment. When blood gas syringes are received in the laboratory with air bubbles inside, the most vulnerable parameters (i.e., pO2, SO2, pCO2, sodium, ionized calcium, hematocrit and hemoglobin) should be suppressed.
