Stress, Anxiety & Mental Health Problems in Gifted Adolescents
Authors: Alexopoulou A. , Alexopoulou A. , Batsou A. , Drigas Athanasios
Published: December 2020

There has been an open-ended, continuing argumentation whether giftedness is associated with excessive
stress burden or mental disorders. Various literature reviews and research articles exist on the subject,
however, there has been little outcome concerning direct comparisons among gifted and non-gifted young
people. Contemporary research still presents findings which support both views. In the present review, there
has been made an attempt to provide a scientific perspective of research related to emotional problems
and/or mental disorders of gifted adolescents. We included research concerning depression and suicidal
behaviour, and studies which offer ample evidence on the way stress and anxiety are created, and function
in gifted young people. We rather concentrated on research and articles focusing on examining gifted young
adolescents in comparison with the general, non-gifted population of the same age. The present review has
been limited to research published within the past twenty years (2000-2019).

Published: December 2020

Hepatic arterial reconstruction is an important step in graft implantation in liver transplant procedure.
Hepatic arterial anastomosis always demands meticulous and highly skilled surgical techniques to provide
adequate blood supply to the graft. Hepatic arterial intimal dissection in liver transplantation is although a
rare but documented complication, with incidence of less than 5%, but having dreadful complications. To
overcome this complication of Recipient hepatic artery dissection, various techniques have been described
by different authors. Here, in this case report we are describing technique of utilization of transposed
recipient splenic artery for graft arterial inflow where native hepatic artery was dissected up to common
hepatic artery. Post-operative recovery was uneventful and on follow up, patient was absolutely fine. So,
recipient splenic artery is a safe alternative option in such complex situations for providing arterial blood
flow to the graft and moreover it avoids the burden of extra anastomosis which is required in conduit
technique.

Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kriuchkova L. O. , Patyka T. I. ,   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine
Published: December 2020

The effect of Bacillus strains, B. subtilis 16 and B. pumilus 11, on two barley diseases caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoemaker has been studied. It was found that the activity depends on both the resistance of the cultivar against disease and the bacterial strain. The severity of spot blotch of barley decreased significantly when the cell suspension of B. subtilis strain16 was sprayed on the leaves of disease-susceptible cultivars Nashсhadok, but failed to inhibit the disease on the leaves of resistant cultivars. Applying the cell suspensions into plant growth media significantly inhibited the common root rot on susceptible cultivar Syaivo, which, however, was not accompanied by an increase in the biomass of seedlings. A significant increase in the weight of shoots and roots of seedlings was observed on cultivars with medium resistance to the disease: Sebastian and Antey.

Published: December 2020

Study Design: Single-center, retrospective cohort study conducted from 2013 to 2017.Purpose: To determine the risk factors for surgical complications in neuromuscular scoliosis based on known patient comorbidities. Overview of Literature: The concept of neuromuscular scoliosis includes a wide variety of pathologies affecting the neuromuscular system. Complications are numerous and are often difficult to predict.Methods: A retrospective analysis of a single-center database was conducted from 2013 to 2017. Inclusion criteria were patients aged <25 years, diagnosis of neuromuscular scoliosis, and history of posterior fusion deformity surgery. A total of 64 patients (mean age, 15 years; 63% females) were included in this study. Clinical, radiological, and laboratory parameters in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative settings were analyzed. Univariate analysis was performed using Student t -test for continuous variables, and a chi-square test was used for noncontinuous variables. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors of major, mechanical, and total complications.Results: Complications were found in 44% of patients, with 46.9% consisting of major complications, and 84.4% being early complications. Univariate analysis revealed that the presence of perinatal comorbidities, independent of other comorbidities, increased the risk for complications (p =0.029). Preoperative hypoglycemia, high number of instrumented levels, longer surgical time, use of an all-screw construct, lower preoperative pelvic obliquity, postoperative lower kyphosis, high thoracic spinopelvic angle (as measured by T9 spino-pelvic inclination), absence of deep drain, and use of superficial drain were associated with postoperative complications (all p <0.05). Logistic regression demonstrated that comorbidities, longer surgical time, hypoglycemia, and absence of deep drains are predictors of complications. Independent variables that predicted major complications were the number of levels fused, postoperative kyphosis (p =0.025; odds ratio [OR], 1.074), and high screw density (p =0.014; OR, 4.380).Conclusions: Complications in neuromuscular scoliosis are increased by comorbidities, long surgical time, and inadequate correction. Preventative measures to decrease these complications include appropriate preoperative patient preparation and surgical planning.

Published: December 2020

Study Design: This is a prospective cohort study involving patients who were followed for 2 years after total knee replacement (TKR) to determine changes in lumbar spine and knee symptoms.Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine the percentage of patients undergoing bilateral TKR who present with coexisting lumbar spine problems and determine if TKR relieves lumbar spine symptoms. Overview of Literature: No studies quantify the percentage of TKR patients who experience relief of lumbar spine symptoms after TKR surgery.Methods: The study included 200 patients (164 females, 36 males) undergoing primary TKR. Follow-up was performed at 4 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Lumbar spine and knee symptom improvements were assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Oxford Knee Score, respectively.Results: All 200 patients undergoing bilateral TKR presented with radiographic lumbar spine degenerative pathology; 60% (n=120) of the patients presented with moderate to severe clinical symptoms of lumbar spondylosis, including 54% (n=108) with degenerative lumbar spondylosis and lumbar canal stenosis and 6% (n=12) with degenerative spondylolisthesis. Of the 120 patients who presented with lumbar spine problems, 90% (n=108) reported improvement in their symptoms; the ODI score improved from 42.5%±4.1% preoperative score to 15.6%±2.3% postoperative score (p-value<0.001). Of the 12 patients with no improvement, 10 patients underwent percutaneous procedures for their lumbar spine pathology with good results, one patient underwent surgery, and one declined any intervention.Conclusions: A significant number of patients (60%) undergoing bilateral TKR also present with symptomatic lumbar spine problems. Patients with mild to moderate lumbar spine degenerative symptoms and no associated severe radiating pain on activity are more likely to experience relief of their symptoms post-TKR.

Published: December 2020

Study Design: This is a retrospective study.Purpose: Recent advances in intraoperative imaging and closed reduction techniques have led to a shifting trend toward surgical management in every unstable sacral fracture. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicoradiological outcome of the sacroiliac (SI) screw and lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) techniques and thereby delineate the indications for each.Overview of Literature: Optimal management guidelines for unstable sacral fractures are still lacking probably due to the rarity of these injuries and varying fixation trends.Methods: Out of the 67 patients, 40 and 27 were in the SI and LPF groups, respectively. The electronic medical record for each patient was reviewed, including patient demographic data, mode of trauma, coexisting injuries, neurological status (Gibbon’s four-grade system), Injury Severity Score, time from admission to operative stabilization, type of surgical stabilization, complications, return to the operating room, and treatment outcome measures using Majeed’s functional grading system and Matta’s radiological criteria. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years.Results: Noncomminuted longitudinal injuries with normal neurology and acceptable closed reduction have undergone SI screw fixation (n=40). Irreducible, comminuted, or high transverse fractures associated with dysmorphic anatomy or neurodeficit were managed by LPF (n=27). Excellent and good Majeed and Matta scores at 86.57% and 92.54% of the patients, respectively, were postoperatively achieved.Conclusions: Unstable sacral fractures can be effectively managed with percutaneous SI screw including vertically unstable injuries by paying strict attention to preoperative patient selection whereas LPF can be reserved for comminuted fractures, unacceptable closed reduction, associated neurodeficit, lumbosacral dysmorphism, and high transverse fractures.
THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT SELJUK STATE IN AZERBAIJANI HISTORIOGRAPHY
Authors: Bayramov M.
Published: December 2020

The history of the Seljuk state, which played a significant role in the political, economic and cultural life of the Near and Middle East in the Middle Ages, is one of the most actual problems in Azerbaijani historiography. As it is known, after the establishment of the Seljuk state by the Turks, their main policy was to advance to the west, to seize Anatolia, to turn Anatolia into Turkish lands. The Caucasus region was the gateway to Anatolia. That is why the Caucasus, as well as Azerbaijan was of great military-strategic importance for the Seljuks. After the Dandanekan victory, it was decided at the Congress in Merv to launch new military operations to the East and West. The main target of the attack was Iran, Byzantium and the South Caucasus, because these countries were in political disarray and unable to resist them. Seljuk troops advancing on the Caucasus soon subjugated the local feudal states. The people of Azerbaijan, who have been under the rule of the Seljuk state for more than a century, have played a special role in the political and cultural development of the Seljuk state. However, this problem in national historiography has been a separate research topic only in the second half of the 20th century, which has long been out of sight. The present article is devoted to the study of Seljuk state in Azerbaijani historiography. The article studies the works of prominent Azerbaijani historians Z. Bunyadov, R. Huseynov, N. Akhundova, N.Aliyeva, Sh.Mustafayev, I.Hajiyev, T.Dostiyev and others, who have done research in this area since the second half of the twentieth to the first decade of the twenty-first century and their role in the study of the history of the great state in the medieval Muslim East, the Seljuk State, has been defined
PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF DRILLING SERVICE IN RUSSIA
Authors: Beloshitsky A.
Published: December 2020

The article contents a short analyses of Russian drilling market as a segment of oilfield services including its launch history. Basic trends dominated in the technologies and the drilling methods during last years are counted. Noted, that the sanctions of 2014-2016 have had a negative influence for the Russian oilfield services market together with oil exploration limits because of OPEC+ agreement. The mentioned factors influences on drilling business as follows: oil companies started to increase their own oil-and-gas supply having a good effect on the drilling capacity to use. Meanwhile the conditions of the independent drilling contractors for working become much harder because of free-market reduction and a limited access to borrowed capital. As a result, it`s highly likely: finance crisis among the average and small independent drilling contractors; oilfield services consolidation by the large oil companies; “freezing” of drilling market prices. There`re possibilities for the independent drilling contractors as follows; the output of the related oilfield sectors for integration of services; unification; quality improvement and import substitution.
STRUCTURE OF MULTI-ELEMENT COATINGS BEFORE AND AFTER EXPOSURE TO LASER RADIATION
Authors: Yurov V. , Guchenko S. , Makhanov K.
Published: December 2020

It is shown in this work that the effect of laser action on nanostructured coatings can be quite diverse. In this case, the decisive role is played by the initial structure of the coating, which sets the mechanism and direction of its transformation under external, including laser, influences. It is shown that for a CrMnSiCuFeAlTi coating in an argon atmosphere, the friction coefficient after laser treatment decreases, while the microhardness increases. We associate the first effect with a decrease in the roughness of the coating when it is melted by a laser beam. The second effect is due to the formation of the dislocation structure of the coating upon sharp heatingcooling.

The concepts “spravedlyvist” and “pravda” in Ukrainian legal texts of the second half of the 16th–the first half of the 17th century)
Authors:   National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Dovga Larysa
Published: December 2020

The paper studies the vocabulary the Ukrainian intellectuals of the second half of the 16th–the early 17th century used to signify a number of moral, ethical, and legal concepts. The first part of the article examines legal documents, including the Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (1588) and several court documents. The author comes to the following conclusions: (1) the lexeme “justice” is consistently used in legal documents written in Old Ukrainian (Old Belarusian) to denote practices related to litigation and acquires clear features of a legal concept which corresponds to the Latin iustitio; (2) the study of the aforementioned texts shows that the semantic field of the lexeme “justice” does not include any reference to moral and ethical norms and principles which is customary in modern language. Instead, semantic fields of both old and modern concepts of “justice” intersect in the fact that now, like in the early modern times, it means impartial attitude towards someone and a set of actions that comply with legal norms; (3) the lexemes “fairly/justly”, “truly”, and “true” have rather vague semantic fields that often overlap, while the adverbs “fairly/justly” and “truly” often function as synonyms; (4) the use of lexemes “fairly/justly”, “truly”, and “true” is neither consistent nor structured. They belong to the sphere of everyday speech and cannot claim to belong to the conceptual apparatus; (5) the lexemes “truth”, “righteousness”, and “verity” are almost never used in the legal domain of that time. Although the field of jurisprudence included the concepts that were very important for the communicational sphere in early modern Ukrainian society, it could not cover all its needs.
“Philosopher” and “Philosophy” in Kyivan Rus’ Written Sources of the 11th-14th centuries: Historiography of Conceptual Interpretations
Authors:   Hr. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy, NAS Ukraine, Kyrychok Olexandr
Published: December 2020

It remains largely unknown what was knowledge of philosophy by writers in Kyivan Rus’ of the 11th – 14th centuries. Moreover, there are no methodological foundations of resolving the issue. I suggest the key to the solution is the analysis of the meanings of words “philosophy” and “philosophers” in the texts of that time. This article aims to analyse how different researchers interpreted the meanings of these words in Kyivan Rus’ written sources of the 11th – 14th centuries. Use of the word “philosophy” was interpreted by the researchers in six different ways: (1) as an approximate synonym for the word “education” (which was for a long time a prevailing opinion), but also (2) as a pagan or (3) Christian wisdom, (4) as theology, (5) as an allegorical method of interpreting Scripture, and (6) as the knowledge of the nature of things. Some researchers emphasized one of the meanings, but others opted for a “pluralistic approach”, considering that Kyivan writers used the word in different meanings at the same time. The same is true about the word “philosopher”. It referred to an educated man, an ancient philosopher, a Christian thinker, a theologian etc. Another approach in the interpretation of these terms suggested Vilen Horskyi (1931-2007), distinguishing formal and essential properties of words “philosophy” and “philosopher”. He finds that the essential feature of philosophy was deification (theosis), a process whose aim is likeness to God, and cognition of God’s wisdom. Furthermore, according to Horskyi, in the philosopher the link between his knowledge and his action was inextricable.

Modern views on the role of main components of stroma and tumor microinvironment in invasion, migration and metastasis
Authors: Naleskina L.A. , Kunska L.M. , Chekhun V.F.
Published: December 2020

Summary. The review presents modern ideas about tumor microenvironment, which most researchers recognize as the main “player” in tumor cell invasion, cell migration and metastasis. The current data on the main components of the stroma and the microenvironment, which play the role of the driving force in tumor progression, are analyzed. In particular, the review highlights the issues of origin, biological traits, phenotypic plasticity, functional heterogeneity of activated fibroblasts — myofibroblasts and tumor-associated fibroblasts, which in recent years have received much attention. Such components of the extracellular matrix proteome as collagen and matrix metalloproteinases are discussed in detail. They are mostly produced by activated fibroblasts and, on the one hand, initiate the development of desmoplasia due to type I collagen and, on the other hand, promote degradation of extracellular matrix proteins due to metalloproteinases, which generally leads to tissue remodeling that promotes tumor progression. Possibilities of using the most important indicators of extracellular matrix remodeling as potential markers and targets of clinical strategy are discussed.

Published: December 2020

Summary. Background: Prognosis of the course of tumor progression is one of urgent problems of clinical oncology. A relevant specificity of endometrial cancer is its clinical polymorphism within the same histological type of the disease. The search for molecular-biological features associated with the aggressive phenotype of endometrioid carcinomas is indisputably urgent. Aim: To study molecular-biological features of endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (ECE) and to identify the molecular subtype of tumors with high potential of malignancy. Materials and Methods: Surgical specimens of 127 patients with EC, stages I–II, aged 36–72 (the average age — 59.3 ± 3.2) were studied using morphological and immunohistochemical methods. The multivariant analysis with the Kullback’s informative measure and PanelomiX were used to estimate the significance of the expression of specific biomarkers. Results: The expression of a complex of multifunctional markers was evaluated in ECE cells of different malignancy stage: p53, FOXP3, p21WAF1/CIP1, р16INK4a, E2F1, cyclins Е and D1, Her2/neu, с-Myc, Е-cadherin, β-catenin, vimentin, CD44, CD24. A triad of biomarkers with threshold expression levels was determined (р53 > 45%; FOXP3 < 14%; с-Myc > 10%). The high expression of oncogene c-Myc and oncosuppressor p53 along with the low level of FOXP3 in tumor cells of ECE was associated with high proliferative potential, low differentiation grade, and deep invasion of a tumor into the myometrium. Conclusions: The molecular phenotype of ECE, most informative in terms of specificity and sensitivity (95%) — р53highFOXP3lowc-Mychigh, was first characterized, which would help identify a high-grade subtype of this cancer form.

Premature Structural Transformation and Income Inequality in Pre and Post Commodity Boom Period in Indonesia
Authors: Kuntoro Eri
Published: December 2020

Since 2000, Indonesia had been confronted with the problem of increasing income inequality between the poor and rich. At the same time, there was a shift change in the economic structure. That was the decrease in the contribution of manufacturing sector which was replaced by services sector and the increase in raw material export due to the jump in commodity prices. This study aims to measure the determinants of inequality from the employment side in the form of structural transformation and the economic openness side in the form of trade and investment. By using a dynamic panel model, it is known that the increase on trade openness has a significant effect on the reducing of income inequality, but its effect has diminished in the commodity boom period. Meanwhile, the structural transformation from the agricultural sector to the services sector has contributed a significant role in reducing inequality.

While capturing underwater image there are lot of imposed due to low light, light variation, poor visibility. Photography is about light, but since water has an a lot more prominent density than air — around 800 times more noteworthy not all wavelengths of light travel similarly well inside it. This implies as we go down into deep water, we lose the shades of the range one by one. This is the reason submerged photographs lose all the red and orange hues even at a genuinely shallow profundity and appear to be increasingly more blue as we go deep in water, henceforth captured image need enhancement. It’s a vital research area, in this paper we will review different techniques of underwater image enhancement.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Spor Genel Müdürlüğü (SGM) tarafından kayıt altına alınan 2018 yılı sporcu lisansı sayılarının illere, coğrafi bölgelere, cinsiyete ve yaş gruplarının toplam nüfusa ve 10-44 yaş aralığı nüfusuna oranlarını belirlemektir. Araştırma tarama modelinde betimsel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; öncelikle toplam nüfusa göre sporcu sayılarını oranladığımızda Ülkemizde erkek nüfusun % 8’ sının, kadın nüfusun % 4’ ünün toplam nüfusun ise % 6’nın sporcu lisansına sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Lisansı daha çok çocuk-genç ve yetişkin kesimin çıkardığı göz önünde bulundurularak 10-44 yaş grubunun nüfusuna sporcu lisanslarını oranladığımızda ise erkek nüfusun % 14’ ünün, kadın nüfusun % 8’ inin toplam nüfusun ise % 11’ inin sporcu lisansına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bölgesel olarak oranlar incelendiğinde, en fazla lisanlı sporcu sayısının Karadeniz, en az sporcu sayısının ise Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde olduğu görülmektedir. Yaş gruplarına göre incelendiğinde, en çok 35-39 yaş grubunda; en az 40-44 yaş grubunda sporcu lisansı bulunduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler ışığında Türkiye’ deki lisanslı sporcu sayısının genç nüfusun yoğun olan ülkemizde yeterli olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
Between Emic and Etic
Authors: Hodges Andrew
Published: December 2020

This article examines the trope of systematic destruction (sustavno/sistemsko uništavanje) and traces how it was mobilized during the 2018 Croatian shipbuilding crisis. First, an ethnographic vignette introduces the political actors and issues at stake during the crisis. The literature on post-socialist labor transformations and deindustrialization in South-East Europe is reviewed, and the tensions between political actors and policy are described. The concept of “predatory privatization” and the etic concept of “creative destruction”
are then discussed as a prelude to an analysis of the emic concept of “systematic destruction.” Finally, the relations between the different concepts are described and the emotive power and political uses of the “systematic destruction” trope are explored and placed in the wider context of post-Yugoslav deindustrialization.
Inspired by Gandhi

The leader of the Indian independence movement, Mahatma Gandhi, left an invaluable legacy: he proved to the world that it was possible to achieve political aims without the use of violence. He was the first political activist to develop strategies of nonviolent mass resistance based on a solid philosophical and uniquely religious foundation. Since Gandhi’s death in 1948, in many parts of the world, this legacy has been
received and continued by others facing oppression, inequality, or a lack of human rights. This article is a tribute to five of the most faithful followers of Gandhi who have acknowledged his inspiration for their political activities and in choosing nonviolence as a political method and way of life: Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Martin Luther King, Louis Massignon, the Dalai Lama, and Malala Yousafzai. This article describes their formative leadership and their significance and impact on regional and global politics and history.

informações relevantes acerca dos principais reflexos deixados pelas construções evidenciadas por diferentes povos e períodos históricos na concepção da educação contemporânea. De tal modo, o presente estudo é norteado pelo legado deixado pela educação grega, especialmente, a partir dos fundamentos da Paideia, originada na Grécia Antiga e como tal legado influenciou e continua influenciando o entendimento da atual educação brasileira. Destaca-se, sobretudo, como determinadas concepções do ideal Greco-antigo de educação (Paidéia) refletem diretamente em problemas evidenciados, no sentido de valorização da educação em âmbito nacional. O método adotado para a presente pesquisa foi o dedutivo, pois partiu-se do geral para o particular, até o alcance das deduções necessárias. Os resultados esperados foram plenamente alcançados, na medida em que foi possível entender os fundamentos da Paideia, permitindo a comparação entre os sistemas, detectando-se na educação contemporânea muitas influências da educação grega, ainda que os contextos temporais e territoriais sejam diversos.

Amaç: İş yaşamında stresin artması ile çalışanlarda depresyon ve kaygı gibi psikolojik; obezite ve kalp hastalıkları gibi fizyolojik zararlar oluşabilmektedir. Stresin, diyetteki sağlıksız seçimlerle ve iştah üzerindeki etkileriyle sağlık sorunlarına yol açabileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, iş stresi ve geriliminin beslenme durumu ve antropometrik ölçümler üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Bireyler ve Yöntem: Araştırma, bir devlet üniversitesinde idari personel, temizlik personeli ve aşçı olarak çalışan 20-65 yaş arası 34 kadın ve 150 erkek ile yürütülmüştür. Bireylerin beslenme alışkanlıklarını, iş stres durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla anket formu uygulanmıştır. Bireylerin 24 saatlik besin tüketim kayıtları ile Sağlıklı Yeme İndeksi (SYİ) puanları hesaplanmış; antropometrik ölçümleri alınmıştır.

Bulgular: İş gerilimi olmayan ve SYİ puanı kötü düzeyde olanların oranı idari personelde daha düşük bulunmuştur. İş gerilimi olmadığı durumda da aşçıların %76.9’unun, temizlik personelinin %89.5’unun ve idari personelin %67.9’unun bel kalça oranlarının yüksek olduğu ve bu durumun obezite ile ilişkili hastalıklar açısından risk oluşturabileceği belirlenmiştir. İş gerilim durumuna göre temizlik personelinin yağ, posa, B1, B2, C vitamini, niasin, magnezyum ve demir alımları anlamlı bir fark göstermiştir (p<0.05). Temizlik personelinin yağ, posa alımları iş stresi puanı ile anlamlı negatif bir ilişki göstermiştir (p<0.05). İdari personelde ise iş stresi puanı, meyve suyu puanı ve sodyum puanı ile pozitif, sebze puanı, proteinli besin alım puanı ile negatif korelasyon göstermiştir. İdari personelin, iş yükü puanı beden kütle indeksi, bel çevresi ile negatif bir ilişki göstermiştir (p<0.05).

Sonuç: İş stresi bireylerin beslenme kalitelerini ve antropometrik ölçümlerini etkileyen bir faktördür. İş yerinde sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarını kazandırmak ve iş stresini azaltmak için stratejilerin geliştirilmesi gereklidir.

Malnutrition could occur in patients with head and neck cancer due to the disease itself and the side effects of treatment. The consequences of malnutrition lead to the discontinuity of treatment and the deterioration of quality of life and prognosis. Nowadays, there are available tools for nutrition screening and assessment which could early identify the patient at risk malnutrition and give them the prompt nutritional interventions. Nutritional anagements, including nutrition counseling, modification of the diet, the supplement of oral nutritional supplement, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition, have roles from the beginning to the end of head and neck cancer treatment and the proper nutritional interventions were associated with the better results. Nutrition interventions were an essential part in prevention and treatment of the postoperative complications such as chyle leakage and pharyngocutaneous fistula. The research involving in immunonutrients showed the efficacy in improvement of the clinical outcome of patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer. Therefore, appropriate nutrition interventions were important and required the multidisciplinary team approach.

The purpose of this study is to adapt the Professional Learning Activities Scale (PLAS) developed by Geijsel, Sleegers, Stoel, and Krüger (2009) into Turkish through conducting the relevant validity and reliability analyses. This study followed the pathway recommended by Hambleton and Patsula (1999) for the adaptation process. The data we used came from a total of 256 teachers working in 16 pre-schools, primary and secondary schools located in the Karabuk and Istanbul provinces of Turkey. We performed Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test the construct validity of the Turkish-adapted form of the scale. In addition, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was calculated for the reliability of the scale. The results of the study demonstrated that The Turkish Form of PLA is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the extent to which teachers are engaged in professional learning activities.

TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS: FROM TECHNICAL AFFORDANCES TO EDUCATIONAL AFFORDANCES
Authors: Valanides Nicos
Published: December 2020

Modern technology is transforming in an accelerating rate our physical, economic, cultural and educational environments. The new generation of learners, both adults and students of all ages, is surrounded by a multitude of technological tools, and these tools (computers, robots, software, internet etc.) are used ubiquitously not only in learning environments, but in daily life as well. Today’s children are furthermore characterized as “digital natives” and are clearly distinguished from their teachers and adults who constitute the generation of “digital immigrants” (Prensky, 2001). Visual programming languages, specifically designed for young learners, provide additional programming tools that are integrated in robotics education as well, while additional advances provide support to the idea of following the STEM (Science, Technology and Engineering and Mathematics) approach.

Published: December 2020

One of the key issues of the EU educational policy is quality assurance. The presented research represents a contribution to solving the issue of quality assurance of informatics education on the tertiary level of education in economy and managerial study fields. Within the research current state of informatics education in selected economy and managerial study programmes was analysed based on students` views and opinions. Necessary research data were collected through questionnaire survey respondents, who were students of the relevant study programmes in the Slovak and Czech Republics. The paper presents in more detail results of the questionnaire part which was focused on finding out how the students evaluate informatics education incorporated in their pre-graduate education considering its relevance to their study and career profiles. Another task of the research was to find out whether the students` evaluations depend on their gender and study specializations, and also whether there are some differences in the evaluations done by the students of the same or at least similar study programmes studying either in Slovakia or in the Czech Republic. As the results showed, students of the economy and managerial study programmes do not connect their future career with the information technologies and they do not have ambitions to be employed in the IT area. But at the same time, they are aware of the fact that the knowledge and skills obtained within their informatics preparation are important for their everyday life and future career. On the other hand, they are not satisfied with the quality of the informatics subjects they are taught. So, to assure the quality of their pre-gradual preparation does not mean only to innovate curricula of the informatics preparation but also to deal with the issues of an efficient transfer of these curricula content to students. Keywords: tertiary education, informatics education, curricula innovation, evaluation of the education, quality assurance, career profiles.
