Developing parents' readiness to help children with learning difficulties
Authors: Erlikh Oleg
Published: June 2022

The problem of helping a child with learning difficulties is one of the priorities of the federal projects "Modern School" and "The Success of Every Child" of the National Project "Education". A comprehensive solution to this problem is based on the concept of "resilient school", which implies coordinated actions of all participants in educational relations to compensate for social and pedagogical risks and achieve a high quality of education. Within the framework of this approach, one of the main problems hindering the achievement of this goal is the low readiness of a significant proportion of parents to help a child with learning difficulties. The reason for this is the insufficient level of development of parental competence in a significant proportion of parents. The mechanisms for the development of such readiness are proposed for consideration in this article. The methodological basis that determines the possibility of creating and implementing such mechanisms is the formation of andragogical competence of school teachers for productive pedagogical interaction (in the aspect of providing with psychological, pedagogical, methodological and advisory assistance) with parents, as important and obligatory participants in educational relations.

Authors: Goudappala Prashanth , Sandhu Jasneet , Krishnaiah Vinay , Palem Siva
Published: June 2022

Background and objective: Nephropathy is the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Delay in identification and management of nephropathy in T2DM may cause development of ESRD. An increased level of serum ferritin plays a role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in T2DM. Hence, the present study intended to assess the level of serum ferritin in renal dysfunction in patients with T2DM.

Material and methods: This was a retrospective study with 81 T2DM patients with and without nephropathy. They were categorized into two groups. Group-1 consisted of 46 T2DM cases without nephropathy and remaining 35 with nephropathy.The clinical and biochemical parameters such as blood glucose, urea, creatinine, iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and haemoglobin were measured by standard methods, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by MDRD formula.

Results: Significantly (p<0.05) elevated level of serum ferritin along with urea and creatinine was found in patients with T2DM with nephropathy.A significant positive correlation (r = 0.37) of serum ferritin and negative correlation (r = - 0.852) of eGFR with creatinine were found. It indicated that ferritin could be a good marker to monitor kidney function in T2DM.

Conclusion: Apart from eGFR and serum creatinine, raised serum ferritin level was a good indicator of renal dysfunction in T2DM patients and might play an important role in renal dysfunction in early stage diabetic nephropathy.

Discrimination of L2 British English Monophthong Contrasts: The Case of L2 Thai Learners of English
Authors: Kitikanan Patchanok
Published: June 2022

This article reports on the second language (L2) perception of contrasts among British English monophthongs. This study has two aims: 1) to explore the discriminability of contrasts in L2 British English monophthongs; and 2) to test the perceptual assimilation model-L2 (PAM-L2) towards the ability to discriminate British English contrasts. The contrasts considered were: /iː/-/ɪ/, /æ/-/ʌ/, /ɜː/-/ʌ/, /uː/-/ʊ/, /e/-/æ/, /ʌ/-/ɒ/, /ʊ/-/ɔː/, /ɑː/-/ʌ/, /ɜː/-/ɔː/. Fifty-two native speakers of Thai who were learning English as a foreign language in Thailand participated in a forced-choice ABX discrimination task. The participants were divided between two groups – those high-experienced and those low-experienced. The results evidence how both groups performed well on most contrasts (over 80% correct), except for /ʌ/-/ɒ/. Although the discriminability of the contrast /ʌ/-/ɒ/ was lower than with the other contrasts, the discrimination scores among both groups remained in a middle range (over 70%). No effect of L2 experience was found, thus suggesting that the abilities of both groups did not differ. The PAM-L2 was accurate in predicting that neither group of L2 Thai learners would have difficulty in discriminating the considered L2 sound contrasts. These results imply that the results gained from a perceptual assimilation task are useful in predicting the discriminability of L2 sound contrasts, as suggested by the PAM-L2.
Students-Teachers' Professional Development during Teaching Practice in Tanzania: Experience from the Host Institutions
Authors: Msuya Ombeni W.
Published: June 2022

This study sought to explore the opportunities and challenges experienced by student-teachers during their Teaching Practice (TP) in various host institutions in Tanzania. A mixed research approach with cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. The study was carried out in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya and Morogoro regions in Tanzania. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interview. The study involved 245 participants, whereby 230 were the student-teachers, 10 heads of secondary schools, 3 primary school head teachers and 2 principals from teachers’ training colleges. The findings indicate that student-teachers received positive mentorship from host institutions through orientation on different matters before getting the direct classroom exposure. It was also found that student-teachers had a collaborative working relationship with the host institutions. Findings indicate further that student-teachers were involved in both administrative and academic activities. However, there were some challenges that faced them such as limited teaching and learning facilities, limited exposure to the use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) as a pedagogical tool, and the overall limited infrastructural support for their stay in various host institutions. It was also found that in some institutions, student–teachers were not trusted to handle the administrative activities. It is recommended in this study that there is a need for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and educational stakeholders to collaborate with schools for the creation of a conducive learning environment for student-teachers.

Utilidad de la formación en citación para evitar prácticas deshonestas en trabajos académicos universitarios
Authors: Mosteiro García M.ª Josefa , Porto Castro Ana M.ª , Lareo Pena Lucia , Lorenzo Rey Álvaro
Published: June 2022

Este artículo se centra en analizar la percepción del alumnado universitario con respecto a la utilidad de citar y las conductas de plagio realizadas a lo largo de su carrera académica, para comprobar la posible existencia de diferencias en función de tener o no formación sobre citación. Para dar respuesta a las cuestiones planteadas se diseñó una investigación cuantitativa descriptiva y se utilizó un cuestionario dirigido a la población objeto de análisis, universitarios que cursaban estudios de grado. La muestra, de carácter no probabilístico, estuvo integrada por 3.783 alumnas/os. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos destaca que la formación en citación se convierte en un elemento fundamental en la evitación del plagio a la hora de realizar los trabajos académicos, puesto que el alumnado que ha recibido formación en citación le da mayor valor a la «utilidad» de citar y otorga puntuaciones más bajas en las prácticas relacionadas con la comisión de plagio en la realización de los trabajos académicos. De ahí la necesidad de que desde las instituciones universitarias se adopten las acciones necesarias para formar al alumnado en competencias informacionales en aras de evitar la práctica de conductas deshonestas.

Published: June 2022

Reorganization of healthcare system in Georgia was based on the development of
public health, aiming to activate of preventive medicine and operate efficient tools of
epidemiological surveillance. This paper seeks to explore the attitudes and values which
underlie public health reform in Georgia, and to investigate the goals of reform and the
strategies designed to achieve them. The article is based on a documentary analysis,
which included official documents and non-official journal publications. Georgia was the
only country (except the Baltic states) to abandon the soviet system of
Sanitary-Epidemiological Service, completely reorganizing it and establishing a new
public health infrastructure, built on European principles. The reorganization of the
Sanitary-Epidemiological Service implied the separation of supervisory (sanitary
control) and executive functions, typical of the Soviet system. As a result, the Public
Health Department and the Department for Sanitary Supervision and Hygienic Regulation
were established. In terms of decentralization, the funds out of four elements of
healthcare system (financing, Policy Development, Standard definition, Management and
Administration) were distributed at central, regional and municipal levels. The role of
public health is especially increasing in the modern globalized world, when the
epidemics of infectious diseases have become topical. In globalized world, the public
health challenges go beyond national borders and interests, having huge global political
and economic consequences. Therefore, modern public healthcare is reviewed in a global
context and requires international regulations, transnational actions and solutions
based on coordinated cooperation among different countries of the world. Keywords:

The funeral of the corpse is the process of taking care of the corpse which includes the activities of bathing, shrouding, worshiping and burying the corpse. Immediately repent if you commit a big sin or a small sin. Caring for and organizing corpses for Muslims is fard kifayah. If there is someone or several groups of people who have carried out this obligation, then the obligation of others to carry it out has fallen. Organizing the corpse is the obligation of the closest family of the deceased, if the closest family is not there, then the other Muslims. the management of the corpses. People prefer to ask for help from Ustadz or local teachers to take care of their family's bodies rather than taking care of them themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to empower the community in relation to the care of corpses, so that if one day they are needed they are ready to take care of the bodies of their own families. The purpose of this activity is to provide skills training for the management of corpses in Bojonggaling Village, Bojonggenteng District, Sukabumi Regency. It is hoped that this training can maximize the role of humanist and religious values for the benefit of the community.

As a former Humira® user, for the treatment of Crohn’s disease, I explore how we understand the concept and experience of chronicity as it is represented in advertisements for Humira® and manifested in embodied reactions to these advertisements. Through a layered narrative method that combines rhetorical analysis with autoethnography, I analyze 13 Humira® commercials. I argue that Humira® commercials operate through a curative imaginary (Kafer, 2013), which not only assumes viewers desire to be immune-typical but also defines normative orientations to time. This case study reveals how direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising obscures cultural and systemic sources of (dis)ablism, including the ways striving for normalcy is in and of itself an experience of chronicity, and disregards experiences of chronicity that disrupt normalizing boundaries of time.

BackgroundSuicide in older adults is a significant overlooked problem worldwide. This is especially true in Canada where a national suicide prevention strategy has not been established.
MethodsUsing linked health-care administrative databases, this population-level study (2011 to 2015) described the incidence of older adult suicide (aged 65+), and identified clinical and socio-demographic factors associated with suicide deaths.
ResultsThe findings suggest that suicide remains a persistent cause of death in older adults, with an average annual suicide rate of about 100 per million people over the five-year study per-iod. Factors positively associated with suicide vs. non-suicide death included being male, living in rural areas, having a mental illness, having a new dementia diagnosis, and hav-ing increased emergency department visits in the year prior to death; whereas, increased age, living in long-term care, having one or more chronic health condition, and increased interactions with primary health care were negatively associ-ated with a suicide death.
ConclusionFactors associated with suicide death among older adults highlighted in this study may provide better insights for the development and/or improvement of suicide prevention pro-grams and policies.

BackgroundCommunity programs and services dedicated to support those living with dementia and care partners can improve their qual-ity of life. In close collaboration with the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia, we evaluated the First Link® dementia support services, aiming to identify key strengths and areas of improvements to inform the services offered.
MethodsA survey instrument was developed and distributed to people living with dementia, care partners, and health-care providers.
ResultsA total of 1,123 surveys were analyzed. Overall, respondents were satisfied with First Link dementia support services. Key strengths of the program included providing information and education for their clients to learn more about dementia and other resources in the community. Areas for improvement that were identified as part of this evaluation included additional supports for participants’ mental health and well-being in terms of reducing stress, burden and isolation. Findings uncov-ered discrepancies in the way people living with dementia, care partners, and health-care providers view the effectiveness of the First Link dementia support services.
Conclusion An evaluation of programs and services for people living with dementia and their care partners can provide valuable insights about their experiences which can ensure that their needs are addressed.

Code-switching is practicing two different grammatical systems where multilinguals also move between two languages or between two dialects or registers of the same language. In the current article, code-switching is characterized as the simultaneous use of two or more languages or dialects within a conversation. The current study focused on code-switching practices on the social media website Twitter. While posting on Twitter, multilinguals may use several languages. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze code-switched Tweets for any recurring patterns and practices. The population of this study involved Twitter users living in the Rawalpindi-Islamabad area of Pakistan. The Tweets were collected on the basis of time and location through a random cluster sampling method. A qualitative analysis of the individual Tweets was done, and recurring patterns were pointed out. This was purely observational research. It was found that the sampled Tweets only code-switched between Urdu and English. Code-switching at the intra-sentential level was more common than at the inter-sentential level. Code-switching at the level of clauses was the most common form of intra-sentential code-switching. Over half of the inter-sentential code-switching had the English sentence(s) preceding the Urdu sentence(s). The findings suggest that code-switching between English and Urdu occurs more commonly at the intra-sentential level. They further imply that the population generally prefers to start inter-sentential code-switching with English before code-switching to Urdu. The results of this study may be useful in demystifying the phenomenon of code-switching in online spaces.

With English turning into a global language among the people in all parts of the world, it has played a similarly essential role in the educational system of Azerbaijan. Vocabulary is a vital and inseparable part of the four language skills in the activity of language learning. This research was aimed at investigating the use of various vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) among Azerbaijani engineering students. Moreover, the overall frequency of strategy use was explored by Azerbaijani learners as high strategy users, medium strategy users, and low strategy users. The study also investigated the students’ academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge, finding that the vocabulary learning strategy use is done in relation to students’ academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge. The descriptive-quantitative research design was employed in this study. Two kinds of research instruments were utilized. A 60-item academic and a 30-item technical vocabulary test and an online questionnaire of vocabulary learning strategies with 23-item were employed. The findings demonstrated that there is not a significant relationship between VLSs and academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge of Azerbaijani engineering students. The research also indicated that meta-cognitive strategies included the most and least frequently used strategies among Azerbaijani learners. Consequently, Azerbaijani engineering students were high strategy users. It is obvious that vocabulary should not be treated as an additional material; on the contrary, syllabus designers and instructors have to put it forward as a vital ability in second or foreign language learning.

Background and Purpose To assess the long-term outcomes of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone or embolization and SRS (Emb-SRS) and to develop a grading system for predicting DAVF obliteration.Methods This multi-institutional retrospective study included 200 patients with DAVF treated with SRS or Emb-SRS. We investigated the long-term obliteration rate and obliteration-associated factors. We developed a new grading system to estimate the obliteration rate. Additionally, we compared the outcomes of SRS and Emb-SRS by using propensity score matching. Results The 3- and 4-year obliteration rates were 66.3% and 78.8%, respectively. The post-SRS hemorrhage rate was 2%. In the matched cohort, the SRS and Emb-SRS groups did not differ in the rates of obliteration (P=0.54) or post-SRS hemorrhage (P=0.50). In multivariable analysis, DAVF location and cortical venous reflux (CVR) were independently associated with obliteration. The new grading system assigned 2, 1, and 0 points to DAVFs in the anterior skull base or middle fossa, DAVFs with CVR or DAVFs in the superior sagittal sinus or tentorium, and DAVFs without these factors, respectively. Using the total points, patients were stratified into the highest (0 points), intermediate (1 point), or lowest (≥2 points) obliteration rate groups that exhibited 4-year obliteration rates of 94.4%, 71.3%, and 60.4%, respectively (P<0.01).Conclusions SRS-based therapy achieved DAVF obliteration in more than three-quarters of the patients at 4 years of age. Our grading system can stratify the obliteration rate and may guide physicians in treatment selection.
