Ngày nay, chất lượng tinh trùng của nam giới ngày càng suy giảm dần theo thời gian Các bằng chứng gần đây cho thấy tình trạng thừa cân trong cộng đồng có ảnh hưởng tới sự suy giảm này. Vì vậy, để đánh giá ảnh hưởng của chỉ số BMI đến các thông số tinh dịch đồ của nam giới tại Việt Nam chúng tôi tiến hành nghiên cứu: “Mối liên quan giữa chất lượng tinh dịch đồ và chỉ số BMI của những nam giới tới khám tại bệnh viện Đại học Y Hà Nội”. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy: độ tuổi trung bình của nhóm nghiên cứu là 28,8 ± 6,22 tuổi, BMI trung bình của nhóm đối tượng nghiên cứu là 22,92 ± 2,78kg/m2. Có tới 27,1% đối tượng thừa cân và 20,39% nam giới béo phì. Chỉ số BMI có tỷ lệ nghịch với thể tích và mật độ tinh trùng, BMI càng cao thì thể tích và mật độ tinh trùng càng giảm. Trên mô hình hồi quy tuyến tính đa biến, BMI và hút thuốc lá có mối liên quan với mật độ tinh trùng với công thức: MĐTT = -1,29 x BMI - 0.74 (gói/năm) + 110.85. Béo phì có nguy cơ suy giảm chất lượng tinh trùng cao hơn 2.08 lần. Kết luận: thừa cân, béo phì, hút thuốc lá có ảnh hưởng tới các thông số tinh dịch đồ ở nam giới. Vì vậy, việc tư vấn người bệnh từ bỏ hút thuốc lá, chế độ giảm cân, tối ưu hóa chỉ số BMI là rất cần thiết.

Published: June 2022

A subject worth examining was the interdisciplinary approach’s planning and application of two distinct disciplines around a theme, as well as investigating the value achievement inclinations of students who participated in the interdisciplinary approach. In this context, the problem sentence of the research is that: Does integrated mathematics and life sciences teaching have an effect on primary school 3rd-grade students’ achievement of honesty, respect, love, and helpfulness values?”. In the research, a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group which was designed under the theme of “tolerance,” was used to determine the effect of teaching integrated Mathematics and Life Sciences lessons in the third grade of primary school on students’ honesty, respect, love, and helpfulness value tendencies As the data collection tools of the research, the “Honesty Value achievement Scale,” “Love achievement Scale,” “Respect achievement Scale,” and “Helpfulness achievement Scale” were applied to the students in the sample. This research was conducted in three stages: preliminary preparations before application, integration of disciplines, lesson plan preparation, and actual application. There was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group between the primary school third-grade students in the experimental group, who were taught integrated mathematics and life sciences, compared to the control group students, who were taught according to the Ministry of National Education-approved course and workbook. In addition, it was concluded that there was a significant difference in favor of the posttest between the pretest-posttest scores of the honesty, respect, love, and helpfulness values belonging to the students in the experimental group in which integrated mathematics and life sciences were taught.
The COVID-19 Pandemic, its Consequences, and the Recovery: Implementation of Disaster Education and Management is Key to the Schooling of Children with Disabilities
Authors: Ressa Theodoto W.
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 pandemic has eroded gains towards Kenya Vision 2030’s poverty eradication goal by denying Kenyan children and youth with disabilities access to (quality) education. Situational analysis on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on education of primary and secondary school-age individuals from March 2020 to December 2020 reveal that the education opportunities for learners with disabilities remained unpredictable as the disease ravaged communities to the end of the year.  Learners with disabilities fell behind academically after school closure and COVID-19 related biases predisposed them to academic failure and failed adulthood. Then, the implementation of disaster education and recovery plans are overdue and must intentionally target education of children and youth with disabilities.

Published: June 2022

There is no doubt that Covid -19 has affected the whole world in every aspect of life. In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between Covid-19 phobia and life satisfaction levels of students participating in special talent entrance exams and their views according to some demographic variables. The sample of the study consists of 320 participants who took the special talent exam from the departments of physical education and sports teaching and coaching education at the University of Sutcü İmam. The research is a quantitative study and it was carried out in relational scanning model. Data were collected in August-September 2020. In the analysis of data Jamovi 1.6.12 statistical software program was used. As a result of the research; Covid-19 phobia and life satisfaction level arithmetic mean scores of the participants were determined to be in the middle score range. In normal circumstances, it was determined that the fear of COVID-19 had a negative effect on the participants, while life satisfaction is expected to be high due to the athletic and young age of the participants. In terms of demographic variables, significant differences were found in Covid-19 Phobia Scale' and 'Life Satisfaction Scale' scores. In correlation and regression analyses, it was concluded that psychological, somatic, social and economic variables, which are independent variables, showed a negative low-level significant relationship with the life satisfaction of students, and they were also a significant predictor on life satisfaction. The results obtained from this study are predicted to shed light on the psychological, social, economic and similar effects of Covid-19 fear on people and provide significant contributions to finding solutions on these issues

Authors: Bolat Yeliz
Published: June 2022

This research attempts to reveal the views of the primary school teachers, having Syrian students in their class, on these students’ Turkish and mathematics skills and the challenges they have confronted in the classroom. The research used a mixed research method and 347 primary school teachers who met the criterion of having Syrian students in their classes participated in the research. Quantitative data were gathered through a five-point Likert type questionnaire consisting of 27 questions, and qualitative data were collected with eight open-ended questions. Descriptive statistical methods were used during quantitative data analysis and descriptive analysis for qualitative data. The research findings revealed that Syrian students' reading, reading comprehension and problem solving skills were not sufficiently developed due to the lack of speaking Turkish. In the same vein, there were communication problems with students and parents due to the language barrier which affects Syrian students' choice of friends and their success in classes. Another research finding suggested that Syrian students were at a satisfactory level in operational skills that do not require verbal knowledge, especially in mathematics lesson. In addition, the parents were identified to be indifferent to the students' lessons and they did not help with their homework. The participants’ common view was that Syrian students should receive Turkish education in separate classes (preparatory class) in order to solve the language problem before schooling.

Published: June 2022

In recent years, a significant number of students with a multilingual background have attended Greek educational institutions, mainly because of migration and the refugee crisis. In March 2020, due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), Greek educational institutions started organizing emergency remote teaching on online educational platforms. This paper describes a case study (through intervention) conducted in a digital multilingual elementary classroom, that aimed to explore strategies for facilitating remote lesson engagement and establishing inclusive pedagogy under emergency situations. The main aim of this study was to explore to what extent task-based language teaching (TBLT) activities grounded on the migrant students’ needs analysis and supported by computer-assisted language learning (CALL) features contribute to active lesson participation during emergencies and their effect on migrant students’ social inclusion in a formal educational context. Results established the most critical factors required for differentiated multilingual distance education. This is an original research work on how diversity and inclusion in emergency remote teaching may be achieved.
Decision-making in the physical education curriculum: an analysis of the student voice in English secondary state-schools
Authors: Hardwicke Jack , Reed Joseph , Anderson Eric , Batten John , White Adam John
Published: June 2022

Debates surrounding youth participation in governance have permeated a range of fields in the last two decades. This commentary is predominately situated in education and civic participation domains, with sporting domains remaining largely under researched. Indeed, this research becomes sparser when considered in school physical education and sport. In this paper, we consider the position of the student within decision-making processes in the physical education curriculum in English secondary state-schools. The paper reports on survey data from 288 English secondary state-schools exploring students’ involvement in decision-making related to the PE curriculum. Findings show considerable numbers of the schools reported no contribution from students to the physical education curriculum (n=54), and processes that were in place were problematic. Drawing on the legal framework of The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, we argue that the lack of student voice in the physical education curriculum presents a contemporary policy concern within the English education system that requires further investigation.

Authors: Demirtas Esma , Akkari Abdeljalil
Published: June 2022

During the last three decades, the number of private schools in Turkey has increased sharply. Private schools have gained momentum, mainly from 2010, as the number of private schools has multiplied in all levels of education. and this in all levels of education, primary and secondary. This literature review aims to understand the main reasons for the development of private schools in Turkey over the last 20 years. Through the analysis of various scientific articles, several factors such as state policy, the incitement of international organizations, the increase of the middle class and change in the choice of parents, and the difficulty to provide quality public education have been identified as the cause of this phenomenon.
Concepts and Issues in Public Health Culture, Psychology, and the Ecological Approach
Authors: Pennington Colin G.
Published: June 2022

An ecological approach focuses on both population-level and individual-level determinants of health and interventions. It considers issues that are community-based and not just individually focused. It highlights people's interactions with their physical and sociocultural environments. This article discusses the purposes, shortcomings, and extensions of the ecological approach to public health to be more inclusive of interpersonal characteristics, education, and ultimately upstream solutions to correcting health inequities among disenfranchised communities. Briefs are discussed regarding the concepts of health psychology, victim blaming, geography, culture, and cooperate responsibility - and the impact of those concepts on the adoption and adherence of pro-active health campaigns.
Exploring the Feasibility of Game-Based Tangible Resources in the Teaching of Deaf Preschoolers and their Hearing Peers
Authors: Sousa Carla , Neves José Carlos , Casimiro Cátia , Santos Carlos Pereira dos , Carmo Patrícia , Mendes Joana , Bila Vasco
Published: June 2022

In general, deaf education is a relatively neglected field, which needs attention, if societies want to ensure that schools are inclusive spaces, where learning is accessible. The present paper supports the development of a game-based tangible resource for deaf preschoolers, through co-creation and participatory action research, operationalized by the inclusion of teachers and educators in the process. Two case studies were developed, one quantitative survey and five focus group co-creation sessions, involving Portuguese sign language teachers, special education teachers, and teachers with only hearing students. Twenty-four teachers and educators answered the online survey and 19 participated in the focus groups. The results obtained in this study reinforce the need for more pedagogical materials, accessible for deaf children and can support the discussion around co-creation, participation, and representation as potential strategies to ensure it. The broad discussions raised by teachers and educators about the specificities of the educational needs of deaf children, while reinforcing school as still a disabling environment, can also support this and future approaches around accessibility, through proactive and digital inclusion-driven frameworks.

Authors:   , Mhlaba Joseph Qhinaphi
Published: June 2022

This thesis is about an investigation of the impact of leadership and on service delivery in Bushbuckridge local municipality in Mpumalanga province. This study looked at the internal and external factors that affect service delivery in Bushbuckridge Local municipality (BLM). Bushbuckridge local municipality has had some service delivery challenges over the years which affected its ability to deliver services. In 2013, BLM was placed under administration in terms of section 139 (5) (a) of the constitution of the republic of South Africa due to the collapse of service delivery. Local government is one of the arms of government located closest to the citizens and constitutionally tasked with the responsibility of delivering basic services to the citizens. Failure to deliver these services has a direct impact on the day to day lives of citizens. Poor service delivery or the lack of it thereof has often triggered service delivery protests. This study is therefore an effort to look at how municipal officials, councillors and ward committee members’ leadership and management capacity contribute to poor service delivery in Bushbuckridge local municipality. To explore the challenges affecting service in BLM the following research questions were used: • Do ward councillors; proportional councillors; and municipal officials; have the appropriate skills to execute their work effectively? • Do the municipal officials have an understanding of the underlying factors affecting service delivery in Bushbuckridge local municipality? • What organizational/institutional factors affect service delivery in Bushbuckridge local municipality? • How do environmental factors affect the delivery of services in Bushbuckridge local municipality? vii • How effective are the ward committees as a platform for public participation in the affairs of local government? • How does the leadership capacity of ward committees impact on their contribution to service delivery? • What is the link between leadership, management capacity and service delivery? This study was conducted using mixed research methods where qualitative and quantitative data was collected. Data was collected using a face to face method by the researcher using a paper based data collection tool. A total of 67 Participants from the Bushbuckridge local municipality were enrolled into the study. The qualitative data was analysed used Stata, while the qualitative data was analysed using Atlas.ti. The quantitative results have been presented in the form of graphs, pie charts and tables while qualitative results have been presented according to themes where similar responses have been grouped together. The findings are discussed in chapter six to establish the relationship with the research questions of this study. A number of conclusions based on findings are drawn in chapter seven which is the final chapter of this thesis.

The findings showed that there were significant relationships between the variables. The findings of the study at KMP Holdings also indicated that training and development strategies provided by the organization were not aligned with technology. The recommendations suggest that top management should ensure that all the equipment and tools used for staff training are aligned with prevailing technology. The recommendations also suggest that management should understand that most employees do not come to their jobs with the total knowledge and experience required for them to perform perfectly. Therefore, at KMP Holdings, employee performance should be enhanced by providing the training needed to the employees to produce the desired outcomes. Relevant literature was also studied on topics related to this research. Recommendation and conclusion form the last part of this paper.
Building more peaceful schools in Harare

Published: June 2022

School discipline is a challenge worldwide. Traditionally, Zimbabwean teachers have used punitive measures to obtain the desired behaviour from learners within schooling environments. However, the global outcry against human rights violations associated with corporal punishment caused the country’s education ministry to advocate for non-punitive approaches - without providing adequate alternatives. In the sphere of restorative justice, an action research project was conducted in six primary schools, of which three formed the control group. In the other three schools where the intervention was applied, 12 teachers were involved in establishing peace-making circles and peer mediation to 9-10-year-old students. Implementation details varied amongst the schools, but generally, the children had bi-weekly opportunities through the circles to tell their peers and teachers what they were experiencing and feeling. Interviews were conducted with four teachers; questionnaires were administered to ten pupils from each of the six schools and nine parents held focus group discussions on nonviolent ways of raising children, before and after the intervention. The parents’ efforts were meant to complement teachers’ efforts in laying the foundation for the desired discipline. Thematic analysis was used on the data. The findings revealed that peace-making circles and peer mediation enabled teachers to get to know their students and to respond pre-emptively to potential problems; furthermore, classroom disruptions were reduced. Parents’ efforts created smooth communication channels between the community and the school. The study showed that restorative justice could be a promising avenue to pursue further for addressing school discipline issues.

Family owned businesses play a vital role in the entire South African economy. The main objective of the study was to investigate the factors affecting family owned businesses in Durban, KwaZulu Natal (KZN), as well as to establish the leadership styles of management present in family owned businesses. The study also aimed to establish the effect of succession planning on these businesses and propose strategies for the sustainability of family owned businesses. The study was exploratory and qualitative research methods were used to conduct the research. Scheduled individual in-depth interviews with family owned business managers/business owners were conducted by the researcher. The respondents consisted of five businesses that were selected by the researcher around Durban; the respondents were chosen by means of non-probability sampling methods. The findings of the study revealed that there is a lack of communication between family owned businesses and the government; hence, the government has no support towards family owned businesses. The majority of the respondents indicated strategic planning and succession plans as major factors affecting the survival of family owned businesses. Other factors that the respondents highlighted include poor financial management, lack of technology, globalisation, family feuds, lack of education within the family owned businesses, lack of business experience, skill shortages and poor leadership. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended that family owned businesses need to critically evaluate all the internal and external factors before and during the progress of the business. The researcher further indicated that a clear succession plan is required, while family owned business managers need to lead by example.
The impact of corporate social responsibility on the performance of selected small, medium and micro-sized enterprises in the Butterworth area
Authors:   , Xinwa Lwando
Published: June 2022

Small, medium and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) face challenging difficulties in competing with large enterprises all over the world. They try many strategies to keep up and fight for their market competitiveness, with one of these strategies being corporate social responsibility (CSR). Although CSR is a well-established term in the business world, there is a need to investigate how CSR can impact the performance of SMMEs given their size and their financial status. Most of the literature on CSR has focused on large corporations with few studies focusing on SMMEs, particularly in rural areas of South Africa. This study has investigated and examined the impact of CSR on the performance of SMMEs in Butterworth. This study’s main objectives were to explore the different types of CSR activities that SMMEs are engaged in, to explore the different drivers of CSR for SMMEs as well as the assessment of the perceptions of SMMEs about CSR and performance. Predominantly, this study has focused on determining the impact of CSR on SMME performance. The sample studied was 163 SMMEs in various sectors around Butterworth. A quantitative research method was applied in order to achieve the objectives of this study, however a non-probability sampling technique was used because of the assumptions that since the targeted population consisted of busy entrepreneurs there would be incidents of non-response. The study found that even though CSR has been associated with large corporations, SMMEs in Butterworth know about the existence of the relationship between CSR and performance and understand that a business that has higher levels of CSR is more likely to perform better as compared to those that do not practice CSR. The results of the study revealed that most of these SMMEs are not only compelled by the law to act socially responsible but are driven by the profits that are linked with the involvement in these activities. It is also recommended that for SMMEs to enjoy the benefits that CSR imposes in business, they should start considering incorporating CSR into their business activities.
Rural versus urban wealth inequality in South Africa
Authors:   , Farrel Erard
Published: June 2022

This study sought to understand wealth creation amongst South Africans living in rural areas versus those living in urban areas. The study made a distinction between income inequality and wealth inequality and acknowledges that while income and wealth are different, the two variables are intertwined. The relationship between the two is based on the notion that accumulated wealth diminishes the incentive to seek labour income. As such, it is possible to have households with low wage income but high wealth income in terms of assets. Given the different modalities of generating savings in rural areas in comparison to urban areas is it possible that the drivers of savings, wealth and income are different in rural and urban households? Is it even possible that rural households are wealthier than urban households? These questions are addressed plausibly using Life cycle theory. Studies show that in South Africa income inequality is increasing and the poor are getting poorer (Hamilton, 2014:48). Previous studies however, do not make a clear distinction between wealth inequality and income inequality. Dearth of empirical work that looks at sustainable wealth inequality between rural and urban households give a distorted picture of the living standards and welfare scene in South Africa. The purpose of this study was to fill this gap in knowledge. Accordingly, the study had three key objectives. The first objective was to construct a composite measure of wealth using General Household data. The second objective was to examine urban/rural differences in the magnitude and composition of wealth. The third objective was to test the hypothesis that household income and consumption have an effect on wealth. The study utilised the Ordinary Least Squares model (OLS), a category of time series models to test the effects of income inequality and consumption on household wealth. The study confirmed that even though rural households are likely to have less income than their urban counterparts, the magnitude of wealth in rural and urban households is almost equal since rural households have little to no debt and consume less than urban households. Furthermore, the study confirmed that while wealth is a much stronger predictor of consumption, than income in a rural setting in an urban setting income is a much stronger predictor of consumption than wealth

A dust is formed in the during of vital functions in towns and suburbs. Also dust is formed in the during of technology and industrial operations on the AIC enterprises and other enterprises. A dust is hazardous factor of worker's zone microclimate. A dust have is various composition, size and extraction. This dust is negative affect on people’s health and animals’ health, also electrical and electromechanical hardware have is negative effect too. The quality of products decrease. The environment, living and industrial premises are suffering from the dust. A dust penetrates through ventilation system from windows and doors and goes to the peoples’ clothes and boots. In the course of employment, the dust can hit to respiratory, visual organs and humans’ skin. That's why monitoring of dust in the environment and dust control is serious hygienic, social and economic task. To evaluate state of the environment have been measured of a dust concentration in the classes of Engineering-Technical institute of State Agricultural University of North Ural in the during of lessons. Students spend the significant part of their time on the lessons, therefore environment quality and concentration of dust is affect to students’ health. The researched class is located near with the big car interchange road, also near is located agricultural grounds and rail-roads. But measures have not identified excess of dust concentration.

Background: The concurrent detection of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) with UL97 and UL54 mutations is crucial for prescribing adequate antiviral treatment when drug-resistant CMV infection is suspected. We investigated the frequency of resistance-conferring mutations among patients with persistent or recurrent CMV infection and further reviewed the subgroup with UL54 mutations without UL97 mutations. Methods: Patients with persistent or recurrent CMV infection after 4 weeks of treatment with ganciclovir or foscarnet were consecutively enrolled between November 2012 and May 2019. The direct sequencing of UL97 and UL54 was performed to detect resistance mutations in CMV. Results: A total of 101 sequencing datasets were obtained from 65 enrolled patients. CMV UL97 and UL54 mutations were detected in 15.4% (10/65) and 9% (6/65) of patients, respectively. The CMV retrieved from two patients (3%) had mutations in both genes. Four patients with CMV UL54 mutations alone had a history of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, and foscarnet was administered for over 4 weeks to these patients; 21.5% of patients had suspected resistant CMV infection with either UL97 or UL54 mutations. Conclusion: In this study, CMV UL54 mutations but not UL97 mutations were found in patients subjected to prolonged foscarnet administration for CMV disease.

Background: Recently, CrpP enzymes have been described as a novel cause of ciprofloxacin resistance. The crpP gene encodes a novel protein that specifically confers resistance to ciprofloxacin through an adenosine triphosphate-dependent mechanism that phosphorylates the antimicrobial. In this study, the current prevalence of the crpP gene in carbapenemaseproducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa blood isolates was evaluated. Methods: During the study of the Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System in Korea, 22 blood isolates of carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa were collected from nine general hospitals and two nursing homes in the year 2020. Resistance genes and phylogenic trees were analyzed with the whole genome sequencing data. Results: A total of 11 P. aeruginosa blood isolates coharbored the crpP and carbapenemase genes (nine IMP-6 producers and two GES-5-producers). Nine NDM-1-producers coharbored aac(6′)-Ib-cr and qnrVC1. One GES-9-producer also carried aac(6′)-Ib-cr, and one NDM-1producer also carried qnrVC1. The phylogenic tree showed no epidemiologic link among the 22 carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa isolates. Conclusion: This is the first report on the current prevalence of the crpP gene in carbapenemaseproducing P. aeruginosa blood isolates in Korea.
The Phenomenon of Pre-Service Teachers’ Reflective Writing: A Literature Review
Authors: Rizky Alfiany Suaib Nur
Published: June 2022

Multiple approaches, strategies, and experiments have been used in studies to determine the quality of reflective practice in teacher education. It includes research on both general education and TEFL pre-service teachers. Most of these studies focus around the testing and development of tools for the practice of reflection, as well as testing and developing the assessment of reflective practice. Furthermore, by analyzing studies on the forms, features, and evaluative aspects of reflective writing, this literature review paper attempts to go deeply into the area of reflexivity and personal reflection. The research analyzed in this paper should have established the study's position and goals in terms of the style of reflective writing and theoretical approaches to assessment and appraisal attitude. It has stated its role in enhancing students' learning and identity, as well as the importance of affective meanings in this category. Nonetheless, research on this component of reflective writing and how students' perspective and identity are shaped appears to be restricted, suggesting a lack of decent knowledge. Examining the various techniques to evaluation and conducting research on writer position in student teachers' discourse highlighted the necessity to create a framework based on an attitude appraisal system.
