Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Catecholamine-Dependent Shock – A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: E Vijayabharathi , V Latha , S Prabakaran , Sangareddi Shanthi
Published: May 2024

Pediatric septic shock poses a significant challenge in ICUs worldwide, with high mortality and morbidity rates despite medical advancements. Early recognition and aggressive management are crucial. Resistance to standard therapies in some cases suggests potential adrenal insufficiency, particularly relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI), though research is limited. This study aimed to assess adrenal insufficiency prevalence in pediatric septic shock by evaluating basal serum cortisol levels in 49 children aged 1 month to 12 years admitted to the PICU. Results showed a significant 41% prevalence of adrenal insufficiency, correlating with prolonged critical care needs. Despite increased interventions, mortality rates didn't notably differ between groups. Recognition of adrenal insufficiency is vital due to its association with extended critical care requirements. Further research, including stimulation tests and trials, is needed to distinguish absolute and relative adrenal insufficiency and assess potential benefits of steroid supplementation. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive management strategies incorporating adrenal function assessment in improving outcomes for critically ill children with septic shock.
No free love: the dearth of media output from the Architectural Centre in the swinging sixties
Authors: Guy Marriage
Published: May 2024

The Architectural Centre, having made a powerful impact on the design profession in New Zealand in the '40s and '50s, appears to have taken a back seat in the 1960s. Were the drug-crazed psychedelic sixties to blame, or was there still signs of life behind the closed doors? No longer publishing Design Review, the Centre continued to work on projects, mainly behind the scenes, such as the campaign for better town planning in Wellington. The effort that went into this campaign may have led to the Centre having "sucked its bottle dry" and an almost stagnation at times during the 1960s, but in the end achieved its aim with the publication by Wellington's Council of a Town Plan, and the creation of a Town Planning department within the Council. This paper follows the actions of the Centre throughout its "mute" decade, and exposes its continuing influence on the City, on subject matter that is still being discussed today, via the publication of a special supplement in the Dominion, a publishing coup that is unparalleled today.
Lidská „přirozenost“ a člověk jako „autotraumatizátor“? Několik úvah o somatizaci kulturní evoluce a lidské nesoučasné současnosti
Authors: Horský Jan
Published: May 2024

Některá „opravná“ hnutí dneška uvažují o možnosti vrátit se k původní lidské instinktivitě. Chtějí se tím vymanit ze současné kultury, kterou chápou jako člověka traumatizující. Toto úsilí je možné podrobit kritice pomocí teorie současné nesoučasnosti, teorie plastické a elastické fáze evoluce a teorie koevoluce genů a kultury. Můžeme tak stanovit „elastické synchronie“ v nás (např. pomocí teorie axiální transformace či teorie procesu civilizace), které chápeme jako ustanovené určitou somatizací kulturní evoluce, a „elastické synchronie“ vně nás, které mají povahu kulturních institucí. Napětí mezi lidskou „přirozeností“ a kulturou je tak vždy nutné interpretovat ve smyslu vzájemného působení těchto dvou druhů elastických synchronií. Koncepce „elastické synchronie“ je propojena s obecnou sémiotickou (triadické pojetí znaku) a biosémiotickou teorií. Jsou zvažovány různé způsoby dědičné fixace (somatizace) výsledků kulturního vývoje (koevoluce genů a kultury; vliv kultury na selekci genů; epigenetická fixace; vtištění v raných fázích postnatální ontogeneze) a způsoby jejich sociokulturní institucionalizace. Pojednávají se noetické, sociálně ontologické a individuálně psychologické důsledky takto vzniklých elastických synchronií. Je rozlišen radikální a zmírněný kulturní konstruktivismus. Autor při tom vychází z nominalistického stanoviska.

Published: May 2024

This study examines the use of ChatGPT, in conjunction with other applications, Grammarly and Quillbot, as an Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tool in a Recount and Narrative essay course for 18 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. The primary objective was to investigate the impact of these tools on the development of learners' feedback literacy. A single, qualitative case study design was employed, gathering students' voices through a semi-structured interview, reflective journals, and artifacts comprising writing e-portfolios and the feedback evidence. The data analysis utilized an inductive-deductive approach to identify themes and patterns in the qualitative data. The findings revealed that the AWE tools complemented each other in supporting almost all aspects of students' feedback literacy, with "feedback processing" being the aspect that ChatGPT could potentially enhance or diminish, contingent upon students' feedback-seeking behavior. Furthermore, as the result of the inductive coding of the qualitative data, the study offers an "AWE Tools Integration Framework," namely six elements that educators could consider when incorporating AWE tools, notably the generative AI, in their writing classes. This study concluded with a call for greater support of students' digital literacy, equal access to technology, and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom.

Authors: Wang Ting , Komarov F. F. , Parkhomenko I. N. , Yang Guofeng , Xue Junjun
Published: May 2024

The effect of pulsed laser annealing (PLA) on the structure and optical properties of Mn-, Seand (Mn+Se)implanted silicon layers was studied. 95 keV Mn+ and 200 keV Se+ ions were implanted separately and together into p-type Si wafers up to the fluence 1 · 1016 cm–2 at room temperature. Then, the samples were irradiated in the ambient air with a single 2 J/cm2 ruby laser pulse. The detailed redistribution of Mn and Se atoms in the implanted layers during PLA was examined using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy in random and channeling configuration. It was found that a notable percentage of implanted manganese atoms diffuses to the silicon surface, while the Se concentration depth profile broadens in both directions after PLA. Mn co-implantation enhances the Se diffusion to the surface, which leads to a Se decrease in crystalline silicon, but it does improve the crystal structure of the implanted silicon layer due to the increase of diffusion velocity. In contrast to the Mn-implanted sample, Se-implanted and (Mn+Se)-co-implanted samples after PLA exhibit strong optical absorption in the infrared range. The observed band at 0.6 eV is associated with electronic transitions from the intermediate band to the lowest energy levels of the conduction band.

Authors: Ekhorutomwen Otamere Teddyson
Published: May 2024

The research work was carried out in a breeding facility for dairy cattle breeding with a milk yield per cow of 10,564 kg and a reproduction level of 96.6 %. Semen of Holstein bulls was used for reproduction. At dry-off pregnant cows were immunized against a range of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases. After birth, the calves were injected with vitamin E and selenium, dectomax and gradually immunized against common infections. Data on 922 heifers were included in the analysis, including 192 obtained through inseminating cows with sexed semen. Heifers were inseminated at 13–15 months of age. Fertility rate after the first insemination was 67.4 %, calving at the age of (710 ± 2) days. Early calving and balanced feeding ensured high milk yields in full lactation and standard period – on average 9401 and 8854 kg of milk with the fat mass fraction of 4.32 %, protein of 3.38 % and the number of somatic cells of 73 thousand/ml. After calving, the first insemination was carried out on average in 82.6 days, the efficiency was 61.8 %, the insemination index was 1.60, the service period averaged to 107.5 days. When using sexed semen, the fertility rate after the 1st insemination was the same – 67.7 %. The age at calving in animals of the Vis Ideal line was 20 days more compared to their peers of the R. Sovereign line (722 versus 702 days, P < 0.05). Milk yield in full lactation and its standard period were higher in animals of the R. Sovereign line – 9304 and 8890 kg versus 8753 and 8461 kg, which indicates the positive effect of early calving on animal productivity. Early calving of heifers is a necessary condition for a highly productive herd. The results of the research are recommended to be used not only at dairy farms of the Republic of Belarus, but also in other countries with developing dairy cattle breeding.

Authors: Brusevich A. A.
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the artistic features of the lyrics of Maria Konopnicka, analyze the ideological and aesthetic foundations of her creative method and poetic style, as well as scientific understanding of the place and role of this bright representative of Polish positivism literature within the Belarusian cultural and historical paradigm. The introduction substantiates the novelty and relevance of the study of the poetic heritage of M. Konopnicka in the context of Belarusian-Polish literary ties. In the main part, on the example of individual poems, the ways of artistic comprehension by the poetess of a number of aesthetic, philosophical and socio-political ideas that are relevant both among the Polish and Belarusian creative intelligentsia are shown. This fact led to the emergence of literary followers, translators and interpreters of M. Konopnicka’s work, one of which is Yanka Kupala, the first national poet of Belarus. Also, the genuine interest of Belarusians in the Polish writer is explained by common cultural and historical values and traditions, a similar orientation towards representatives of the previous era (Adam Mitskevich, Juliush Slovatsky and some other Polish-Litvinian romantics). In summary, conclusions are formulated about the ideological and aesthetic searches of M. Konopnicka, as well as about the place of her poetry in the system of realism and the context of Belarusian-Polish literary ties.

Evaluation of learning outcomes is an important component in the educational process. Primarily in implementing relatively new learning facilities. The aim of this research is to evaluate student science learning outcomes. The sample consisted of 86 students who were facilitated with independent study and the PBR model. Learning outcome data is collected using the documentation method from the final assessment results sheet which becomes the grade on the student's study results card. This data was analyzed descriptively to determine the average size and proportion. To find out the comparison of science learning outcomes between semester 3 and semester 5 students, an inferential analysis was carried out using the independent sample t-test. Our findings show that the average student science learning outcomes are in the good category. As many as 94.2% of students received a pass grade in the science courses they programmed. The results of the inferential analysis that we carried out show that the science learning achievements of semester 3 and semester 5 students are significantly different. Semester 5 has higher science learning outcomes compared to semester 3 students. The results of this research prove that the implementation of independent study and the PBR model is effective in helping students to master the assigned science learning objectives well, and the semester level has a significant effect. However, the quality of the learning process needs to be improved because there is a small percentage (5.8%) whose mastery of science learning objectives cannot be categorized as passing. It is hoped that this improvement can improve their science learning outcomes, so that in the next lesson, they can reach the pass category with a good or very good interpretation.

Authors: Kasmini Lili
Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine the correlation between elementary school level students' understanding of the concept of movement systems in humans and their habits in maintaining bone health. Because maintaining bone health is something that must be paid attention to, especially in children at their growing age. Habits of maintaining bone health must be supported by elementary school level students' knowledge regarding the process of growth and development in the human body. This research uses a correlation analysis method, with the Product Moment correlation technique. The number of samples used in this research was 35 class VI students from 5 elementary schools in Banda Aceh City. The instruments used are test questions related to the movement system material in the chapter on how our bodies move, and also a student response questionnaire regarding their daily habits in maintaining bone health. The research results can be concluded that the correlation obtained through the Product Moment correlation test can determine the relationship between the two variables at 0.64 with strong criteria. So there is a strong correlation between the first variable, namely the level of understanding of students' concepts regarding how the body moves and the second variable, namely their habits of maintaining healthy bones. The results of the correlation coefficient obtained show changes in students' habits as they understand the concepts they gain.

The specific aims and targets of this research are: Want to know the metal content of Cadmium (Cd) in Ricefield eels (Monopterus albus) which comes from Rawa Taliwang Lake. The specific benefit is to protect consumers who consume fish from heavy metal contamination. The research was carried out at Rawa Taliwang Lake, namely in an area that is submerged in water. There are 2 research stations, namely in the eastern and western parts of the lake. Data collection method was carried out using traps (Bubu). Four Ricefield eel samples were taken at each station. Next, the rice eel samples were put into a plastic bag and then stored in a sample box. The research samples were then analyzed at the Mataram Uviversity analytical laboratory and at Environmental Laboratory of the Environmental and forestry services West Nusa Tenggara Province.  The data analysis method is carried out by taking the tissues from the Ricefield eel muscles, and then analyzed for Cd heavy metal content by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Measurement of heavy metals in Ricefield eel tissue was carried out by adding concentrated HNO3 and HClO4 , heated at a temperature of 60-70ºC for 2-3 hours until the solution was clear. Samples are ready to be measured with AAS using an air-acetylene flame. The conclusion of this research is that the content of Cd heavy metal in Ricefield Eels (Monopterus albus) originating from Rawa Taliwang Lake ranges from 2.55 - 4.01 mg/kg (ppm).

The aim of this research is to describe and analyze the settlement related to the peace deed that was agreed upon and signed by the parties in mediation by BPN. This research was carried out using literature study, collect secondary data, the approach used was a conceptual approach. It is hoped that the results of mediation will satisfy the parties and can be carried out well by the parties to the dispute. In this research, it was formulated to find out whether the agreed peace agreement had binding legal force even though it was not registered with the court and whether it still had executorial force. It is known in order to achieve benefits, justice and legal certainty. The legal consequences if the parties or one of the parties do not want to carry out the mediation peace deed, the trial can be continued. If the party breaks and does not implement the contents of the Deed of Agreement, then the party who feels aggrieved must file a lawsuit for breach of promise/default first against the party who does not implement the contents of the existing Deed of Agreement, so they must start the proceedings from the initial level first.
From Husserl to Merleau-Ponty: Tracing the Arc of Phenomenology
Authors: Alamyar Iqbal Hussain
Published: May 2024

This research traces the key developments in phenomenological thought from its inception with Edmund Husserl to its evolution under Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The primary objective is to understand the continuity and divergence in their perspectives, and the influence on phenomenology’s progression as a philosophical tradition. The study employs a conceptual and thematic analysis method to elucidate these developments by examining their foundational texts. The findings reveal a nuanced understanding of this evolution, highlighting both Husserl’s establishment of transcendental phenomenology focused on pure consciousness and Merleau-Ponty’s transformative turn toward embodied experience. By synthesizing connections between their projects, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the arc of phenomenological thought.

Kematian dan Kebangkitan Jurnalisme:

In his critique of the mass media, Habermas maintains that the media is inappropriate for democracy. Because of its proclivity to favor money and political power, Habermas believes that the media can no longer serve as a democratic outlet. Sandra L. Borden showed that the media, whatever it is, is able to assist democracy. Journalism has a solid heritage as long as it adheres to democratic, citizenship, knowledge, and freedom principles. In that sense, both Habermas and Borden believe journalism to be extinct. The article aims to find a way out of Habermas and Borden's simultaneous assessment of journalism's end. Today, when untruths may be camouflaged as facts and the people choose social media to determine the truth, the function of journalism expected by Habermas and Borden is truly required. What is democracy if there are no watchdogs? The author is looking to highlight the importance of self-improvement in the press and journalism through the way of analyzing literature sources. Both Habermas and Borden maintain that the press and journalism must follow a democratic path if they are to be independent and not be influenced by money and political power. In accordance to the author, an appropriate channel within a democratic framework is required to ensure that every truth and public opinion eventually contributes to the healthy growth of democracy.

Background:
Patients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic required physical/social isolation due to the transmissibility of SARs CoV-2; those hospitalized in healthcare facilities often suffered loneliness due to a complete separation from their loved ones through visitor restrictions.(1) Human contact and movement were restricted to contain the spread of disease. When this kind of restriction must be employed, the “Guidance for Managing Ethical Issues in Infectious Disease Outbreaks”, states that it is necessary to provide people with “effective alternative communication strategies”. (2)
Methods:  This is an observational descriptive study that uses qualitative variables to analyze information obtained by virtual focus groups consisting of either medical professionals or family members of hospitalized patients in the ICU of the Eugenio Espejo Hospital (EEH) in Quito, Ecuador. Each video call allowed us to assess anonymous opinions concerning communication methods utilized during the delivery of daily clinical updates in the ICU.
By focusing on a patient-and family-centered model, this study aims to minimize the impact of social isolation in hospitalized patients through the implementation of regular doctor-led video conference calls with family members, as well as video calls between the patient and family members when feasible.(1)
Results: This study evaluates the increased satisfaction of family members and medical professionals with the implementation of video calls when compared to traditional telephone calls. A contrast between the time before implementing the telehealth team and the time afterward was observed in at least five positive characteristics: 1) the general telehealth experience, 2) the clarity of the messages, 3) the quality of care, 4) the sense of comfort, and 5) the improvement of communication.
Conclusions: There was a positive effect on communication quality for both family members and medical professionals, increasing their satisfaction in terms of finding new methods to reduce the social isolation enforced by the current pandemic. Nevertheless, the future role of virtual communication remains undefined as we return to individualized face-to-face meetings.
Ontological and Temporal Complications of the Social Sciences’ Approach to the Intersubjectivity in the IR Field: The Example of Constructivism and Phenomenology’s Proposal
Authors: Emre Ozigci Yunus
Published: May 2024

As international relations are directly related to societies and social/ socio-psychological dynamics, the main axes of the IR theorising refer to social sciences to the point of making the IR studies a branch of them. However, they also differ fundamentally from them since they constitute a purely intersubjective field, including their “actors”. Social sciences, while also operating in intersubjectivity, have their independently present and accessible actors, therefore a certain anchor in the objectivity. Social sciences theorise and build explicative narratives of genetic nature for phenomena and events, which are independently assessable on that ontological ground. The IR theorising, by importing social sciences’ theoretical grounds and genetic approaches into their purely intersubjective sphere without being validly able to produce a similar anchor, bring serious ontological and temporal complications into their study of IR phenomena and events. These complications are amplified by a particular branch of the IR theorising, the constructivism, as it also theorises-therefore-narrates the IR intersubjectivity itself on social sciences’ grounds and through their genetic approach, which are exogenous to IR. On the other hand, the IR phenomena and events may be studied in their pre-theoretical, immediate, post-genetic, intersubjective appearance/givenness on their own ontological and temporal grounds. Phenomenology, with contributions from the phenomenological ontology, already provides such an attempt with fundamental notions and tools.
