Published: June 2024

This study examined the challenges that some hearing impairment students in the senior high school face when learning mathematics in school. Employing qualitative case study techniques, data was gathered through interviews and observations checklists involving 11 participants. These included sign language interpreters, mathematics teachers, and students with hearing impairments. Results revealed that delay in sign language development, unfavourable curriculum, unavailability of assistive technology resources, and insufficient proficiency of mathematics teachers in sign language and prominence dyslexia were prevalent challenges that were identified. Based on the findings it was recommended that educational institutions, such as the colleges of education should open more training centres for teachers to learn the sign language during their studies. These institutions could train mathematics teachers. Also, it is recommended that individuals and organizations could establish sign language clubs in schools and the communities in order to boost the proficient of all interested persons. Stakeholders should be encouraged to recognise the education of students with hearing impairments as a societal investment aimed at cultivating a comprehensive social framework that nurtures self-reliant individuals. Lastly, it is recommended that government and nongovernmental organizations should support the institutions with learning aids that will help them teach mathematics, proficiently.

Authors: Nsiah Regine Kwaw , Kwakye Dennis Offei
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the knowledge of teachers on behaviour modification strategies in classroom management. The descriptive survey design (quantitative approach) was employed. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed for the study. Simple random, systematic, cluster and proportionate stratified sampling techniques were used to sample 327 public basic school teachers in the Western North region of Ghana for the study. Data for the study was collected using adapted questionnaire with 5-point Likert-type scale. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that public school teachers in the Western North region of Ghana have moderate knowledge level on behaviour modification strategies in classroom management. More so, teachers in the aforementioned region frequently used tangible behaviour modification strategies such as earning incentives like toffees in classroom management. This study further established no significant gender difference in the use of behaviour modification strategies in classroom management. It is recommended that there should be an increase in content of classroom behaviour modification strategies in the program structure for teacher education institutions. Also, periodic refresher courses and in-service teacher preparation programs should be organized for teachers to help update their knowledge on the use of positive modification strategies in managing the classroom. This could help teachers find the use of the behaviour modification strategies less stressful and hence, manage their classrooms effectively.

FINANCIAL FRAGILITY, MULTIPLE EQUILIBRIA AND ECONOMIC CYCLES
Authors: Carvalho Luciano Dias de , Gabriel Luciano Ferreira
Published: June 2024

The aim of this work is to present a theoretical model of financial fragility, in which the money supply is partly generated endogenously by banks, the cash flow of firms is explicitly considered, the monetary policy is endogenous as well as the banks’ mark-up rate, which influences their loan interest rates. Financial fragility emerges in the upward phase of the economic cycle when the perception of risk declines at the same time as the level of debt considered critical by banks is relaxed. As this happens, the economic system, in its adjustment trajectory, may assume a dynamic that takes it from the Hedge region to the Speculative region and then to the Ponzi region, thus beginning the decreasing phase of the cycle. A series of retroactive effects arise with multiple equilibria results, according to the Minskian perspective.

Authors: Rajkumar Talari
Published: June 2024

Abstract: The available figures demonstrate that automobile fires have caused a significant number of fatalities in recent years, amounting to millions of deaths. The deaths were caused by explosions that occurred inside motor vehicles. The majority of research has shown that asphyxiation caused by smoke is the leading cause of death, exceeding burn injuries in terms of mortality. The majority of the study led to this conclusion. As a result, modern society constructs a substantial number of parking lots with ventilation systems that allow unrestricted smoke movement in the event of a fire. Moreover, the use of the CFD software has been shown to be beneficial in developing an effective ventilation system for an underground parking garage, leading to a reduction in the need for experimental testing. This result has been achieved through the use of the CFD program. We widely acknowledge FLUENT and Pyrosim FDS as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for smoke analysis. We use both programs for smoke analysis.

CONCRETE DELAYED FAILURE TIME
Authors: Vu Ngoc Tuyen , Fedorova Natalia
Published: June 2024

At a single action on a concrete and reinforced concrete structure short-term dynamic load, the value of which may exceed the value of the static load-bearing capacity of the structure, it was observed that failure will occur not immediately, but after a certain time (delayed failure time td). If the dynamic load action is stopped before the moment td, the structure will not collapse. Therefore, the accurate determination of the delayed failure time of concrete is an important and relevant problem. To solve this problem, the paper presents a visco-elastic-plastic model to describe the stress-strain state of concrete under dynamic loading. This model consists of 2 elements: a nonlinear spring A and a piston B connected in parallel. Element A describes the nonlinear elastic-plastic properties of concrete, and element B takes into account the high-strain-rate effect of concrete. Under the action of sudden dynamic loads with an intensity greater than the static bearing capacity of the concrete, piston B helps to inhibit the development of deformations initiated in element A. Based on the proposed model, the delayed failure time is defined by the time interval required for the deformation of concrete to reach its ultimate value. The main factors affecting the deformation and failure of concrete such as concrete compressive strength, overload level, and viscosity are also investigated. Specifically, as follows: The higher the static compressive strength of concrete, the lower the delayed failure time. When a dynamic force of greater intensity is applied compared to the bearing capacity of the concrete, the faster the specimen will destroy. In addition, the viscosity coefficient significantly reduces the strain rate of concrete and the corresponding delayed failure time increases as the viscosity increases.
CALIBRATION OF THE NONLOCAL DYNAMIC DEFORMATION MODEL OF A FLEXURAL BEAM BASED ON NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT RESULTS
Authors: Sidorov Vladimir , Badina Elena , Tsarev Roman
Published: June 2024

In this paper, the problem of numerical modeling of the dynamic behavior of bending beams made of the materials with a developed internal structure is considered. The simulation is performed taking into account the non-local elastic properties of the material in time. According to the principals of nonlocal mechanics, it is assumed that elastic forces in a structure depend on the entire history of its deformation, and not only on the instantaneous deformed state. The proposed dynamic deformation model is proposed as an alternative to detailed three-dimensional models. The nonlocal dynamic deformation model is integrated into the algorithm of the FEA method to make it applicable to solving applied engineering problems. The numerical implementation of the model is performed in Python. A technique for selecting the scale parameter of a non-local model based on experimental data using the least squares method and the dichotomy method has also been developed and implemented. To identify the possibility of extrapolation of the scale parameter values determined according to the developed methodology, a series of numerical experiments were conducted, on the basis of which scale parameters for beams of different lengths were obtained and the stability of the nonlocal model was evaluated.

Authors: Коргин Андрей
Published: June 2024

В настоящее время конструкции из современных алюминиевых сплавов находят все боль-шее применение практически во всех сферах промышленного и строительного производства, что является следствием уникальных физико-механических свойств алюминиевых сплавов, позволяющих создавать эффективные по весовым, прочностным и эстетическим параметрам конструкции самого разнообразного назначения, обладающие при этом повышенной коррозионной стойкостью по сравнению со стальными конструкциями. Однако изготовление конструкций из алюминиевых сплавов является более сложным технологическим процессом из-за необходимости применять специальные методы сварки алюминия по сравнению с традиционными методами сварки стальных конструкций. Наиболее распространенные в настоящее время аргонодуговой метод и метод сварки трением с перемешиванием конструкций из алюминиевых сплавов более сложно реализуются в полевых условиях при монтаже и сборке элементов кон-струкций на строительной площадке, и требуют квалифицированного персонала. По этой причине является актуальным использование иных методов сварки элементов алюминиевых конструкций, не требующих сложного оборудования и квалифицированного персонала аналогично классической электросварке.
The Postponement of the Implementation of Inheritance Distribution in The Seunuddon Community, North Aceh In The Lens Of ‘Urf Theory and Legal Pluralism
Authors: Abubakar Ali , Achyar Gamal , Khatimah Husnul , A. Samad Sri Astuti
Published: June 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the act of postponing the execution of inheritance distribution in the Seunuddon village, located in North Aceh. This study employs sociological legal approaches, which are examined through the lenses of al-'urf and the notion of legal pluralism. Data was gathered through extensive interviews conducted with religious leaders, community leaders, and successors. This study determined that delays in the distribution of inheritance in Seunuddon had persisted for an extended period, with some cases resulting in patah titi and subsequent complications. The delay arises due to entrenched customs, the survival of one parent, inadequate economic conditions, lack of family discussions regarding inheritance division, reluctance to distribute the inheritance immediately due to feelings of embarrassment, and the incapacity of young children to handle the inheritance. Secondly, while examining customary Islamic law, the act of delaying the allocation of inheritance is encompassed within the concepts of 'urf sahih (valid custom) and 'urf fasid (invalid custom). Out of the four cases examined, three cases did not present any issues related to inheritance, as each party got and obtained the legacy funds. Nevertheless, there are instances in which the designated successor has deceased (patah titi), leading to complications in the process of inheriting assets. Within the framework of 'urf theory, the initial three instances can be classified as 'urf sahih, however, the final instance is deemed 'urf fasid due to its propensity for generating injustice, albeit preserving the bond of brotherhood. According to the doctrine of legal pluralism, there exists a dialectic and accommodation between Islamic law and societal customs to provide social harmonization and integration.

Authors: Nurdin Ridwan , Abdullah Muslem , Fahmi Zakiyul , Darna Andi
Published: June 2024

Divorce in households can occur due to several factors, such as economic factors, ongoing arguments, and domestic violence. Therefore, an alternative solution in such a situation is necessary by involving the role of the village customary leaders as a ḥakam (peacemaker). The effectiveness of the role of the village customary leaders as a ḥakam must fulfill five aspects: purpose, strategy, policy, planning, and implementation. In this study, the aim was to examine the role of the village customary leaders as a ḥakam in resolving divorce in Kuta Alam Subdistrict, Banda Aceh City and the effectiveness of the role of the village customary leader as a ḥakam in resolving divorce in Kuta Alam Subdistrict, Banda Aceh City. The study used a qualitative research method, using a normative sociological approach, and collected the data by means of interviews and document study. The results showed that village customary leaders such as ḥakam play the role of mediators in marital disputes, in which they investigated and found the roots of the problems with the hope that the disputed could be reconciled and reunited in their households. Further, the role of the village customary leaders as a ḥakam has been considered effective as seen from several peace processes carried out. However, some cases of conflict have not been resolved because some parties demand settlement in court. The study suggests that village customary leaders as ḥakam need to pay attention to the aspect of legal force in handling divorce and that the village institution should prepare administrative staff in the deliberation process

Authors: Alifiyah Rifdah , Anshori Isa
Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate and evaluate the many legal protections available to children who experience domestic abuse. Additionally, it seeks to provide a comprehensive framework for enhancing legal protection measures specifically designed for child victims of domestic violence. This study employs a normative approach to analyze legal issues by examining legislation. The material examined pertains to legal statutes and laws concerning instances of familial child abuse. This study establishes that child domestic violence can manifest in various forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, and economic abuse. The act of violence infringes upon the rights of children and adversely affects their overall welfare, leading to diminished cognitive abilities, impaired emotional regulation, challenges in social interaction, psychological developmental disorders, difficulties in establishing relationships and trust, increased susceptibility to depression and anxiety disorders, and various mental health issues. The legal safeguarding of children in Indonesia is governed by Law No. 23/2002 on Child Protection, which was subsequently revised by Law No. 35/2014. This legislation serves as the legal foundation for the protection of children, including all endeavors aimed at ensuring their safety, well being, and the fulfillment of their rights to thrive, mature, progress, and engage fully.

Authors: Ardiansyah Ogie , Masrokhin Masrokhin
Published: June 2024

Tepuk Tepung Tawar is a ritual in the Malay wedding ceremony, especially in Kampung Melayu of Kota Tanjungpinang Subdistrict. This tradition is also carried out for children who have completed their Qur’an recitation, with prayers for their safety, well-being, and protection from hardship in life. This present study used a sociological method, in which data were analyzed by using the theory of ‘urf (social custom) in Islamic law. Data were collected by means of interview and document study. This study revealed that historically, the tepung tawarceremony for newlyweds would be carried out alternately for each, considering that they have not yet had mahar batih (not yet consummated), while the tepung tawar ceremony for both would be carried out for longtime married couples. The Malay people are very strong in observing their customs and traditions; even giving rise to the Malay proverb “biar mati anak dari pada mati adat”, better for a child to die than for a custom to die. This proverb illustrates how deeply the Malay people are in upholding the customs and traditions of their ancestors. Theoretically, there is also harmony between Islamic law and ‘urf or social custom in Malay weddings.

Cutaneous pseudolymphoma (CPL) is a benign skin disorder characterized by the presence of a lymphocyte-rich infiltrate resembling malignant lymphoma. As there are significant differences in management and clinical outcomes, differentiating CPL from true lymphomas is crucial. The diagnostic process involves a comprehensive approach, incorporating clinical examination, histopathological analysis, and when necessary, immunohistochemical staining to distinguish CPL from true lymphomas. Biopsy plays a key role in assessing characteristics of infiltrating lymphocytes and architectural arrangements of cells within dermal layers. Here, we present an unusual case of CPL triggered by a bee sting, outlining its clinical and pathological features.
Turbocharging of Deep to Superficial Venous System for Vessel Depleted Neck in Radial Forearm Free Flap: A Case Report of One Neck Vein for Drainage of Both Venous Systems
Authors: Singh Hardeep , Jain Ankit , Mahendru Sanjay
Published: June 2024

Dual venous anastomosis in radial forearm free flap surgery increases chances of flap survival as compared to anastomosing only the superficial system. A 48-year-old male patient who had received three previous microsurgical reconstructions and radiotherapy presented with recurrent oral cavity carcinoma. Two of these reconstructions were anastomosed to the left side neck vessels. The recurrence was in the left half of the soft palate. The left neck and underlying vessels were severely scarred and fibrotic, and only 2 cm of the left internal jugular vein (IJV) could be circumferentially mobilized for anastomosis, allowing for only one venous anastomosis. The radial forearm free flap was harvested and a tributary of the cephalic vein was preserved in the proximal part to act as a conduit for drainage of one of the venae comitantes. The cephalic vein was anastomosed end-to-side to the IJV and one venae comitantes to the preserved tributary in end-to-end fashion. The flap survived and the patient was discharged in a week. This novel method helps to drain both venous systems through one available neck vein.

Authors: Liu Jaehong , Suh Young Chul
Published: June 2024

Background: Totally implantable venous-access ports (TIVAPs) are essential for long-term intravenous treatment in cancer patients, but TIVAP site dehiscence remains a significant issue. This study aims to investigate how Limberg flap transposition compares to primary repair and other local flap techniques in managing TIVAP site dehiscence.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent repair operations, without TIVAP removal, for right subclavicular area TIVAP site dehiscence between May 2016 and March 2023. Outcomes of primary repair, Limberg flap transposition and other local flap surgeries were analyzed, focusing on incisional integrity and dehiscence recurrence rate.Results: Nine patients and 3,204 catheter days were included in the study, with a total of 15 surgical repair procedures performed for dehiscence, including cases of recurrence. Among them, Limberg flap transposition demonstrated the longest period of incisional integrity, with a mean of 231.4 days, surpassing primary repair (74.25 days) and other local flap techniques (29.5 days). Additionally, the Limberg flap exhibited the lowest recurrence rate, with 0.86 events per 1,000 catheter days, compared to primary repair (10.10 events per 1,000 catheter days) and other local flap approaches (16.95 events per 1,000 catheter days).Conclusion: Limberg flap transposition is considered as an effective solution for TIVAP site dehiscence, showing reduced complications and recurrence rates compared to primary repair and other local flap techniques. This study suggests Limberg flap transposition should be considered the preferred option for managing TIVAP dehiscence in cancer patients, thereby improving patient care and outcomes.
Linfangiectasia intestinal primaria congénita: a propósito de un caso

La linfangiectasia intestinal primaria (LIP) es una enfermedad rara que se descubrió en 1961 por Waldmann y colaboradores, quienes describieron por primera vez el concepto de linfangiectasia intestinal. La LIP se manifiesta por vasos linfáticos intestinales grandes y dilatados que conllevan la pérdida de líquido linfático hacia la luz intestinal, siendo responsable de una hipoalbuminemia grave y, en consecuencia; de un edema generalizado. La etiología de la LIP es desconocida, sin embargo, varios genes están implicados en el desarrollo del sistema linfático. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de dos meses de edad con diagnóstico prenatal de ascitis en ecografía de tercer trimestre. Nació con ascitis rápidamente progresiva y presentó un estudio endoscópico con evidencia de imágenes en copos de nieve e histología compatible con linfangiectasia intestinal. Se mantuvo en tratamiento con infusión de octreotida al inicio y posteriormente con ascitis refractaria se aumentó la dosis. Se realizaron varias paracentesis evacuatorias y permaneció con nutrición enteral a base de una fórmula extensamente hidrolizada con aporte del 54% de triglicéridos de cadena media (TCM) y nutrición parenteral (NPT). Más tarde, se cambió a infusión de octreotida por vía subcutánea, lo que permitió el alta hospitalaria y un seguimiento adecuado por consulta externa con una evolución favorable.

La necrosectomía endoscópica percutánea es un procedimiento indicado para el manejo de la necrosis pancreática extensa. Se han descrito diferentes alternativas endoscópicas y quirúrgicas para el drenaje de colecciones peripancreáticas y el desbridamiento de la necrosis, y los abordajes mínimamente invasivos tienen menores tasas de complicaciones y mortalidad. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con pancreatitis grave asociada a necrosis pancreática con extensión a ambas goteras parietocólicas, que fue llevado a necrosectomía endoscópica percutánea, luego de drenajes percutáneos y laparoscópicos no exitosos, y se logró una resolución completa del cuadro clínico.
Para determinar el manejo, se debe considerar el estado clínico del paciente, la localización de las colecciones y el tiempo de evolución de la pancreatitis, y de este modo elegir qué intervención será la más efectiva, considerando además la experiencia del equipo médico y los recursos disponibles.

El síndrome de buried bumper (SBB) o síndrome de botón de gastrostomía enterrado, es una complicación poco frecuente que se asocia a la gastrostomía endoscópica percutánea (GEP), misma que sufre una migración del tope interno de la sonda hacia la pared gástrica y la pared abdominal, y manifiesta signos de disfunción del botón de gastrostomía. Se describen tres grados de gravedad, en los que la endoscopia es necesaria para el diagnóstico, en tanto que el tratamiento depende del grado de gravedad. Se presenta el caso de una niña de 4 años con parálisis cerebral a quien se le colocó una GEP 1 mes antes y fue llevada a revisión médica por una obstrucción progresiva al paso de alimentación. Se le realizó una endoscopia en la que se le encontró el SBB en grado 3, que fue resuelto con una técnica endoscópica combinada con equipo de laparoscopia.

Introduction: Esophageal varices represent one of the main complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. The main objective was to determine the diagnostic performance of the new Baveno VII criteria to exclude the presence of esophageal varices in compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD), in an independent Peruvian population.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study, including patients with cACLD, upper digestive endoscopy, and transient hepatic elastography from January 2017 to December 2019.
Results: The mean age was 59.4 (12.9) years, while the mean measurement of liver stiffness was 27.21 (14.6) kPa. The prevalence of esophageal varices was 85.6%; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (63.6%) was the most prevalent etiology, followed by viral hepatitis (14.4%). For esophageal varices exclusion, Baveno VII criteria for all etiologies demonstrated adequate sensitivity and negative predictive value (sensitivity: 96.7%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 92.3%-98.8%; negative predictive value: 76.9%, 95% CI: 56.4% -91%). However, better diagnostic performance was found when applying the Baveno VII criteria without considering NAFLD patients (sensitivity: 98.4%, 95% CI: 79.2% -99.2%; negative predictive value: 90.9%, 95% CI: 79.2% -99.2%). This would prevent 14% of endoscopic studies with a 9% risk of failing to detect esophageal varices.
Conclusions: The Baveno VII criteria present good diagnostic performance for the exclusion of esophageal varices, especially in patients with cACLD without NAFLD, in an independent Peruvian population.
Coloniality of Student Support Services: Young People’s Lived Experiences at the Intersection of Race, Disability and Mental Distress
Authors: Kurki Tuuli , Niemi Anna-Maija
Published: June 2024

In this article, we examine the lived experiences of young people who receive student support services through the lenses of coloniality and intersectionality. Our focus is on student support services within the Finnish education system, encompassing support for schoolwork and learning, and mental health and well-being. Drawing on two research projects – a multi-sited ethnographic study and an ethnography-based life-historical study – we shed light on the lived experiences of four young people as they navigate school and its support system. We apply the theoretical concepts of coloniality and intersectionality to empirically analyse the racialising, disabling and mentally distressing practices encountered by young people in their interactions with student support services. Implicit in the lived experiences of all four individuals is the absence of intersectional understanding of the complexities of young people’s lives, leading to feelings of perplexity and neglect in support. However, these experiences also give rise to subtle yet powerful forms of resistance that envision a decolonised future, also within student support services.
