Published: January 2022

Objective: To study and analyze the clinical effect of continuous nursing in the process of postoperative rehabilitation for patients with craniocerebral trauma. Methods: From August 2018 to July 2021, 40 patients who came to our hospital for craniocerebral trauma treatment were randomly selected as clinical experimental research objects, and they were divided into continuous nursing group and routine nursing group. The rehabilitation of patients in the two groups before and after postoperative nursing was observed and counted. Results: Before nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in MMSE score and Fugl-Meyer score between the two groups, p > 0.05. After nursing, the scores were scored again at 3 and 6 months after nursing. It was found that the two groups were improved, but the improvement range in the continuous nursing group was significantly higher than that in the routine nursing group, the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). From the score of quality of life, the scores of physical pain, psychological function, mental health and social function in the continuous nursing group were better than those in the routine nursing group, the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Using continuous nursing measures for rehabilitation nursing of patients with craniocerebral trauma after discharge can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, restore the mental state and limb function of patients, and has significant clinical effect.

Collision tumors are a rare group of tumoral pathologies characterized by their composition, which is based by the presence of two or more tumor types affecting the same anatomical site and separated by distinct tumor borders. These tumors may be a combination of either malignant or benign tumors [1]. Collision tumors are classified as independently coexisting neoplasms which have different genetic, behavioral, and histological features separated by a distinct demarcated border but coexist within the same organ [2]. These tumors tend to have distant immunohistochemical and morphological differences which aid in diagnosis, but can lead to confounding imaging findings, which in times, make diagnosis more challenging. According to literature this tumor tends to grow simultaneously or following each other in sequence of less than 2 months apart [3]. Accurate classification and diagnosis of these tumors is important for proper treatment options, as well as better patient outcomes. Here will be discussed a case of a rare form of collision tumor, compose of a primary lung adenocarcinoma with a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.

Published: January 2022

Background: Participation in physical activity (PA) from a young age helps to build the foundation for a healthy life in the future. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between energy intake, dietary habits, PA levels, and healthy lifestyle behaviours (HLSBs) in primary education and pre-service teachers. Material and methods: A total of 105 primary education teachers (69 female, 36 male) and 95 pre-service teachers (64 female, 31 male) participated voluntarily in this study. To determine energy intake and dietary habits, participants completed a form detailing what they had consumed during the previous 24 hours. The short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine PA levels. HLSB scores were calculated using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile questionnaire. Results: There were significant differences in PA levels, HLSB scores and calcium intake between primary education and pre-service teachers (p<0.05). Compared to pre-service teachers, PA levels were significantly lower in primary education teachers, whereas HLSB scores and calcium intake were significantly higher (p<0.05). The correlation analysis indicated significant positive correlations between energy intake/dietary habits, PA levels, and HLSBs (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study suggests that HLSBs are indicators of PA levels and energy intake/dietary habits in primary education and pre-service teachers.

Authors: ŚWITAŁA KATARZYNA , Leońska-Duniec Agata
Published: January 2022

The obesity is a leading cause of health problems all over the world. It is a comlex health abnormality that is influenced by developmental, behavioural, environmental, and genetic factors. Although the role of physical activity and diet in regulation of body weight is well described, the genetic variants potentially influencing the characteristics and range of the body’s adaptive response to physical activity in healthy individuals still remains mostly unknown. The main aim of this study is to review current evidence, through a literature review and the results of our studies, on the influence of selected molecular markers on the development of obesity, as well as the body composition changes in response to regular physical activity. We studied the most reliable candidate genes with a focus on catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT), dopamine deceptor D2 gene (DRD2), fatty acid binding protein 2 gene (FABP2), fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1). This review provides information about recent genetic research progressions in adiposity, as well as molecular mechanisms, associated phenotypes, as well as their implications for human health, physical performance, and adaptive changes in response to physical activity.

Authors: DRÓŻDŻ REMIGIUSZ
Published: January 2022

Background: Out of the three cognitive categories that are crucial to the formulation of the problem addressed in this article, physical activity and disability as well as personal security have been the subject matter of numerous scientific analyses, but there are very few references associating them with one another. The aim of this article is to interpret the current state of knowledge concerning each of these fields as well as to assess the bibliographic resource relating to their integral inclusion. Method: A query of foreign and Polish monographs as well as scientific periodicals, available both in traditional and electronic form, was adopted as the research method. In terms of time, the presented state of research works refers to spring 2021. Results: Analyses of the relationship between personal security and physical activity are available primarily in the context of creating confidence, improved quality of life and well-being. Associations between personal security and disability minimally relate to the concurrent physical activity. Conclusion: The results of source analysis argue for the need to promote research projects on the sense of personal security among those with disabilities who engage in physical activity and those who avoid it.
A sense of social affiliation of homeless people participating in a soccer tournament
Authors: OLSZEWSKI-STRZYŻOWSKI DARIUSZ JACEK , BUHAŞ RALUCA , BUHAŞ SORIN
Published: January 2022

Background: One of the ways of including homeless persons (especially young people) into society is to enable them to actively participate in sports activities. Implementation of an event of international importance entitled the Homeless World Cup is an excellent example of such activities. Material and methods: The main source of data for this article is the research conducted with the participants of the "Homeless World Cup" Tournament in Poznań in 2013. The study was conducted with the use of the questionnaire technique (direct – the tool was a questionnaire containing 21 questions). The survey was anonymous. The respondents had an opportunity to answer more than one question. In total, 12 homeless players, representatives of the Polish National Team, were examined. Results: The subject of the research was a sense of belonging to homeless people involved in sports activities. The athletes took part in systematic training and participated in an international soccer tournament. The homeless had to do with relations permeated by the spirit of rivalry, cooperation and, of course, disciplining moralism. Taking into account this socio-sport reality and considering homeless people with a research intention, it was possible to assume that one of the consequences of their participation in organized social life would be the discovery of social identity and the anticipated sense of attachment and belonging. This was also the goal of the research task – an explanation of this relationship. The results of the study did not confirm the assumed assumption. Homeless people are people at a young age who have not experienced social isolation and a sense of loneliness. They combined practicing sport with expectations of changing their social position and, in particular, achieving the status of employees. The results related to the personal consequences of practicing sport indicate that homeless people see a correlation between training activity and the necessity to change health behaviors. Conclusions: Most of the surveyed players confirm the fact that their taking up sports activities (playing football) in a decisive manner, inter alia, it changed their lives so far, their positive attitude towards themselves and others, improved their family contacts. Their social and interpersonal relations have visibly improved, and there have been positive changes in their social attitudes, and that sport can be an important factor facilitating their inclusion and return to social life (sport as a way out of homelessness).
Effect of mental toughness on sporting performance: review of studies
Authors: GUSZKOWSKA MONIKA , WÓJCIK KATARZYNA
Published: January 2022

The aim of the present review was to establish the correlation between mental toughness and sporting performance based on the results of studies published in scientific journals between 2000 and 2020. The keywords mental toughness and performance/ outcomes/ results/ competition were used to identify the papers. The search included the EBSCO and PubMed databases. Eventually, the analysis covered 18 articles. The research results presented in 16 papers confirmed the positive correlations of mental toughness with sport results and performance level. No such relationship was found only in equestrian and Alpine skiing athletes. Although mental toughness in basketball players did not correlate with the sport results, it was an important predictor. Higher mental toughness was found in athletes with better sports results, and it was a positive correlate or predictor of sports results. The relationships between mental toughness and competitive experience or age were not statistically significant. Various research tools were used to measure mental toughness: PPI, PPI-A, SMTQ, MTQ48, MTI, SMTI, MeBTough. The results confirm the positive correlation between mental toughness and sport results or performance levels in different sports, regardless of gender, age or level of sports skills. It seems appropriate to continue research on mental toughness in sport, including the relationship between mental toughness and sporting performance, differences between men and women, players in individual and team sports, the relationship between mental toughness and training experience, the athletes’ age, and the effectiveness of mental toughness programs.

Role expectations from women, increases stress, strain and the possibility of Psychological health concerns. In this paper, we explore the psychological health, as well as the levels of marital and sexual satisfaction of women caregivers.Method: The sample consisted of 35 women, whose husbands were diagnosed with, and undergoing treatment for a chronic illness (Coronary Heart Disease (CHD); Diabetes; or Cancer). Three standardized questionnaires, the Index of Marital Satisfaction (IMS), Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21) were used.Results: Correlational and predictive analysis were conducted on the data. Clinically significant marital and sexual dissatisfaction were found. Wives’ also reported moderate levels of depression and anxiety, but severe levels of stress. Depression and Sexual satisfaction were found to be significant predictors of marital satisfaction.Discussion: Women caregiver are impacted by the illness status of their spouse. The additional stress of caregiving, along with societally ascribed roles and responsibilities on women creates a more difficult, stressful environment, which affects psychological health and well-being.
Mechanisms of plastic microparticles retention by buffer zones with macrophytes
Authors:   Water Problems Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Kazmiruk V.D.
Published: January 2022

Environmental pollution by resistant to degradation microparticles of synthetic polymer materials (microplastics) is one of the growing global problems nowadays. At the same time, research on the behavior of plastic microparticles in the environment is only at an early stage, as well as the development of methods for preventing and regulating microplastic contamination of water bodies. For the first time in world scientific practice, the author proposed to use the barrier role of macrophytes for these purposes. А number of mechanisms directly and indirectly leading to the microplastic retention by macrophytes have been identified based on field and laboratory experiments with plastic microparticles with different polymer matrix (polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyester) and air-water and immersed vegetation, as well as plants with leaves floating on the water surface. According to the predominance of a particular physical process, these mechanisms can be combined into four groups: (1) The appearance of additional resistance to the movement of water and air masses. Change in the kinematic structure of water and air flows promotes slowing down the movement of microparticles, their sedimentation and retention by plants; (2) Decreasing the kinetic energy of wind waves and raindrops by thickets of macrophytes prevents repeated movement of already trapped microparticles; (3) Mechanical retention of plastic microparticles occurs as a result of the existence of irregularities in the structure of plants, sieve-like structures made of interweaving of stems and leaves, the bulk of plant litter, adhesion of plant surfaces and microparticles, which is enhanced by the sticky surfaces of the periphyton; (4) The attraction and adhesion of plastic microparticles to plants and to each other occurs as a result of the interaction of electric fields.

The transformations of the species composition of phytoperiphyton were studied with distance from the estuarine zone to the upper reaches of the river. Algal flora was presented with 303 species and intraspecific taxa of microalgae and cyanobacteria belonged to 9 phyla, 16 classes, 40 orders, 65 families and 107 genera (annotated list see in the Appendix). It was based on diatoms, among which the leading families were Bacillariaceae and Naviculaceae, and the leading genera were Nitzschia and Navicula. For the first time, 34 species and intraspecific taxa of microalgae and cyanobacteria are indicated for inland water bodies of the Sakhalin region. With distance from the estuarine zone to the upper reaches of the river, the number of species, geographical groupings, planktonic forms, and alphamesosaprobiont species decreased. Mass development of Hannaea arcus f. recta were observed in the spring-summer period, Melosira varians and Rhoicosphenia abbreviata – in the autumn-winter.

En la Ciudad de México se ha desarrollado un discurso público que considera la conveniencia de transformar, determinados mercados públicos, en mercados gourmet. Las medidas implementadas por el gobierno de la ciudad no han aportado los cambios esperados y, en general, se han limitado a pequeñas inversiones. Este artículo tiene por objetivo discutir el discurso de las autoridades locales con la reciente remodelación del mercado de San Ángel. Para ello fue necesario la revisión de documentos oficiales, así como trabajo de campo realizado antes, durante y posterior a la transformación del mercado, el cual consistió en la aplicación de entrevistas con locatarios y clientes. Como parte de las conclusiones, se propone que más allá de concretarse la transformación de mercados públicos, se aprecia la participación del sector privado en la reproducción de la escenificación de mercados gourmet, dirigidos a sectores de población quienes están dispuestos a pagar por productos y servicios enmarcados en una experiencia de consumo.

Perubahan besar dalam bidang pendidikan yang disebabkan oleh Pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan penurunan kemampuan berpikir siswa. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk menganalisis bagaimana tingkat kemampuan berpikir siswa di era ini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi matematika siswa pada era Pandemi Cocid-19 dengan menggunakan tiga tahapan metaphorical thinking. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada semester Genap. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 11 siswa kelas IIB Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes, wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi matematika siswa sangat rendah dimana hanya 20% siswa menjawab benar pada tahap grounding metaphors, 25% pada tahap linking metaphors, dan hanya 25% pada tahap redefinitional metaphors. Secara umum, fenomena ini terjadi dikarenakan berkurangnya kesempatan siswa untuk berinteraksi dan berdiskusi saat pembelajaran daring di era Pandemi yang juga menyebabkan kurangnya kesempatan siswa untuk saling bertukar pemahaman dan pengetahuan. Siswa juga tidak dapat memahami masalah secara mendalam dan menghubungkan konsep dengan kehidupan sehari-hari.

Prosep adalah sebuah kombinasi objek mental yang terdiri dari proses, konsep yang dihasilkan dari proses tersebut dan simbol yang digunakan untuk menyatakan baik konsep atau proses. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan profil prosep gradien dan persamaan garis lurus siswa SMPN 1 Sooko Mojokerto. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif eksploratif. Penentuan subyek penelitian dilakukan dengan memberikan tes kemampuan matematika kepada 42 calon subyek, sehingga diperoleh siswa berkemampuan matematika tinggi 5 siswa, sedang 22 siswa dan rendah 15 siswa, selanjutnya dari masing-masing kategori diambil satu subyek penelitian. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan wawancara berbasis tugas dan dianalisis dengan teknik analisis data kualitatif melalui reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa subjek berkemampuan matematika tinggi dan sedang dalam pentahapan pembentukan prosep (pra-prosedur, prosedur, multi-prosedur, proses, prosep) sudah berada pada tahap prosep, sedangkan subjek berkemampuan matematika rendah berada dalam tahap antara prosedural dan multi prosedural. Subjek berkemampuan matematika tinggi memahami prosep gradien dan persamaan garis lurus baik sebagai konsep dan proses, memenuhi semua kriteria, sedang subjek berkemampuan sedang memenuhi sebagian besar kriteria dan subjek berkemampuan rendah memenuhi sebagian kriteria.

Part of Speech Tagging atau POS Tag merupakan salah satu proses untuk mengelompokkan kata berdasarkan kelas kata seperti: kata benda, kata kerja, atau kata sambung. Kegunaan POS Tag antara lain dapat bermanfaat pada analisis sentimen, pengenalan entitas bernama, dan konversi teks ke suara. Dalam melakukan POS Tag, jika dilakukan secara manual dapat menghabiskan banyak waktu, oleh karena itu dibuatlah sistem berbasis machine learning untuk mengotomatisasi proses ini.  Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan POS Tag dengan menerapkan transfer learning dengan model Embedding from Language Model (ELMo). Model ELMo cukup populer digunakan pada dataset bahasa Inggris karena dapat memberi hasil akurasi yang memuaskan namun pada dataset bahasa Indonesia belum ada paper yang membahas tentang model ini. Melalui penelitian ini ingin dilihat bagaimana performa ELMo pada dataset bahasa Indonesia. Model yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah POS Tag adalah model berbasis BiLSTM. Pada penelitian ini, juga ingin dilihat bagaimana performa model jika ditambahkan CNN setelah BiLSTM. Selain itu, juga diteliti bagaimana performa dari tiap lapisan ELMo. Dari penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa metode BiLSTM + CNN + CRF dengan embedding ELMo lapisan pertama memiliki akurasi terbaik, dengan nilai 95.62%. Selain itu, diperoleh bahwa penambahan CNN setelah BiLSTM dapat meningkatkan akurasi serta mengurangi overfitting pada masalah POS Tag bahasa Indonesia.

Madu trigona merupakan madu yang penuh khasiat. Selain penuh khasiat, madu trigona pada saat panen tidak memerlukan kemampuan atau skill khusus serta mudah dalam proses pemeliharaan. Di daerah Kerandangan (Lombok Barat) terdapat sebuah kelompok tani yang membudidayakan madu ini. Kelompok tani ini memiliki beberapa titik lokasi untuk peternakan lebah madu. Jumlah permintaan menyebabkan produksi madu mengalami fluktuatif yang berimbas pada penghasilan dari kelompok tani ini. Selain itu fluktuatifnya jumlah permintaan menyebabkan tidak efisiennya penggunaan tenaga kerja dalam proses produksi. Kelompok tani ini sering kali salah dalam melakukan prediksi dalam jumlah produksi dari madu yang dihasilkan. Fuzzy Tsukamoto merupakan metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini. Salah satu kelebihan dari metode ini memiliki kemampuan berupa intuisi dengan informasi yang bersifat kualitatif. Nilai produksi minimal madu trigona pada kelompok tani ini sebanyak 3 botol dan nilai maksimal produksi sebanyak 10 botol. Terdapat 4 inferensi rule yang digunakan pada penelitian ini. Hasil dari penggunaan metode menghasilkan nilai akurasi prediksi sebesar 92.40 %.
