OBJECTIVE

To estimate the relative risk (RR) and excess hospitalization rate for injury in individuals with diabetes compared with the general population.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Data were obtained from the Australian National Diabetes Services Scheme, hospitalization data sets, the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, the National Death Index, and the census spanning from 2011 to 2017. Hospitalizations for injury were coded as head and neck, lower-extremity, upper-extremity, or abdominal and thoracic injury; burns; or other injury. Poisson regression was used to estimate the age- and sex-adjusted RR of hospitalization for injury.

RESULTS

The total number of hospitalizations for any injury was 117,705 in people with diabetes and 3,463,173 in the general population. Compared with that in the general population, an elevated adjusted risk of admission was observed for any injury (RR 1.22; 95% CI 1.21, 1.22), head and neck (1.28; 1.26, 1.30), lower extremity (1.24; 1.23, 1.26), abdominal and thoracic (1.29; 1.27, 1.30), upper extremity (1.03; 1.02, 1.05), burns (1.52; 1.44, 1.61), and other injury (1.37; 1.33, 1.40). The adjusted RR of any injury was 1.62 (1.58, 1.66) in individuals with type 1 diabetes, 1.65 (1.63, 1.66) in those with type 2 diabetes who were taking insulin, and 1.07 (1.06, 1.08) in individuals with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. Falls were the primary cause of injury in individuals with diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

Individuals with diabetes, especially those using insulin, had a higher risk of hospitalization for injury compared with the general population.

Authors: Dahlgren Daniel , Borg Kristian , Melin Eva
Published: June 2024

Objective: To explore and characterize somatosensory dysfunction in patients with post-polio syndrome and chronic pain, by conducting examinations with Quantitative Sensory Testing.
Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive, pilot study conducted during 1 month.
Subjects/patients: Six patients with previously established post-polio syndrome and related chronic pain.
Methods: All subjects underwent a neurological examination including neuromuscular function, bedside sensory testing, a thorough pain anamnesis, and pain drawing. Screening for neuropathic pain was done with 2 questionnaires. A comprehensive Quantitative Sensory Testing battery was conducted with z-score transformation of obtained data, enabling comparison with published reference values and the creation of sensory profiles, as well as comparison between the study site (more polio affected extremity) and internal control site (less affected extremity) for each patient.
Results: Derived sensory profiles showed signs of increased prevalence of sensory aberrations compared with reference values, especially Mechanical Pain Thresholds, with significant deviation from reference data in 5 out of 6 patients. No obvious differences in sensory functions were seen between study sites and internal control sites.
Conclusion: Post-polio syndrome may be correlated with a mechanical hyperalgesia/allodynia and might be correlated to a somatosensory dysfunction. With lack of evident side-to-side differences, the possibility of a generalized dysfunction in the somatosensory system might be considered.

Students' oral language skills are very important in the digital era, and technology and communication have developed rapidly by presenting spoken language content that is popular with students. Multiliteracy learning refers to the multicontext aspect, which means learning uses various contexts or broad topics. In the multimedia aspect, multiliteracy learning uses various media. This research uses a case study design with the aim of exploring the oral language skills of elementary school students in the digital era to support multiliteracy learning. The data in the research was collected through several collection techniques in the form of questionnaires, observations and interviews. The data of this study were analysed using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis techniques. The research results show that students' oral language skills in this digital era are still limited to non-formal speaking skills. Talking content comes from shows that are watched, namely short dramas, advice, food review videos, other entertainment content. The type of text used in oral language learning is only printed text, which in their daily lives students often watch content on social media such as WhatsApp, Tiktok, snackvideo and YouTube. Students prefer short, interesting videos, with a few activities that involve thinking skills. Listening and speaking activities through these sources can be included in learning according to a multiliteracy context so that it is more meaningful for students.

Character education in elementary school is an important aspect in forming morale and students' ethics at their stage of development. This study aims to explore the understanding and experiences of pre-service professional teachers in integrating character education with social studies instruction in elementary schools. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 124 student teachers enrolled in the teacher education program. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers possess a solid understanding of character education concepts and the importance of their integration into social studies instruction. The researcher implements various strategies such as thematic approaches, project-based learning, and group discussions to instill moral values. However, challenges include time constraints, lack of resources, and insufficient specialized training. The necessary support includes continuous training, access to adequate resources, and mentoring from experienced educators. The study concludes that although pre-service teachers have a strong theoretical understanding, a holistic approach involving training support, resources, and policies is required to enhance the effectiveness of character education integration in social studies instruction. Recommendations for future research include expanding the sample size and employing longitudinal methods for more in-depth and sustained observations.

As a result of scientific progress, substances in the nanoscale state are increasingly being introduced into various areas of human activity, including animal husbandry (poultry farming). In particular, nanotechnology is used successfully to enrich food products with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, that is, they can increase the bioavailability of nutrients by oral administration. In this study, the content of vitamins (A, E, and B2 ) and trace elements (Zn, Cu, and Se) in the blood serum and liver of broiler chickens under the influence of gadolinium orthovanadate, lanthanum orthovanadate, and a mixture of all these was investigated. It was established that their administration to broiler chickens for 10 days at a dose of 0.2 mg/l of drinking water (an average of 0.09 mg/kg body weight) increases the bioavailability of vitamins B2 , A, and E and the trace elements selenium, copper and zinc, which was manifested by an increase in their concentrations in the blood serum compared to the control group (from 8.6% to 3.0 times for vitamins, and from 17.8% to 2.5 times for trace elements, P<0.05) and liver deposition (from 9.4% to 4.6 times for vitamins and from 6.3 to 56.3% for trace elements, P<0.05), with a prolonged effect after administration was stopped. The introduction of nanoparticles (both in mono-solutions and in a mixture), along with a vitamin preparation, indicates the possibility of increasing the content of vitamins and trace elements without their additional introduction, using the dietary resource more fully.

Authors: Kłeczek Ryszard , Pluta-Olearnik Mirosława , Pukas Anetta
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the transformative impact of digital service offers on consumer practices, utilizing the Theory of Social Practice (TSP) as a theoretical framework. Focusing on the use of public transportation and short-term car rental (“carsharing”) services, it explores how digital innovations reshape consumer behaviors and interactions. Through an empirical analysis of commuter practices, the research identifies how consumers use digital service offers from providers to create and adapt new practices. Key findings include the emergence of distinctive commuting behaviors, such as the use of fully electric rental cars in bus lanes during rush hours, contrasted with the use of non-electric rental cars in regular traffic lanes during off-peak times. These observations underscore a dynamic shift from established consumer practices, revealing a process where consumers actively innovate and redefine their daily routines in response to digital service offerings. The study not only highlights the fluidity of consumer practices but also suggests a research strategy focused on understanding these emerging patterns rather than on studying predefined practice modalities.

In Indonesia, covering songs with an Islamic theme has become a trend that is gaining more and more popularity. Several content creators have recently covered non-religious songs by changing the lyrics to ones loaded with Islamic teachings. As the cover songs are uploaded on YouTube, inevitably, there are versions of cover music videos in which some elements of the original music videos are euphemized to fulfill the purpose of religious wisdom. This study not only attempts to examine the visual elements euphemized in the cover music videos but also the visual euphemization strategies employed by the content creators. The data were gathered from YouTube in the form of twelve original music videos and their covers. Furthermore, a localization approach, the theory of euphemism, and para-adaptation were employed to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that four visual elements were euphemized in these cover songs: the properties, costumes, locations, and interactions among the singers or models. Delving deeper into this, the researchers proposed four visual euphemization strategies, including peripheralization (euphemization of the properties), vestimentarization (euphemization of the costumes), locationalization (euphemization of the locations), and interactionalization (euphemization of the interactions). These findings interestingly highlight that there is a common visual euphemization strategy used by content creators when covering music videos of non-religious songs into Islamic songs. Thus, the findings suggest that content creators may apply the four proposed strategies to create acceptable cover music videos to spread Islamic teachings.

Technological advancements in the 4.0 era have made it possible for English language learners to access online resources at any moment in any place, including websites that provide learners with a wider variety of auditory inputs. Despite this, some students may find it difficult to navigate independently owing to the vast quantity of websites. This research aims to discover the websites utilized by English major students at a state university in West Sumatra in independent listening practices, as well as their underlying motivations for selecting those websites. Using a qualitative case study, the data were collected using a questionnaire that was administered to 105 fifth-semester university students, and presented according to the frequency. The findings recorded a total of 34 websites used by students for practicing listening to enhance proficiency in deciphering unfamiliar words, acquiring knowledge of English sounds, and comprehending spoken utterances. The students further confirmed that materials found through the sources provided them with a sense of ease in learning. These initiatives demonstrated the students’ proficiency in utilizing technology for additional learning inputs. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these learning modes still needs to be confirmed as the duration spent by learners may not be sufficient. Further research is recommended to analyze the websites selected by students to provide more tangible evidence regarding the suitability of the material for learning.

Several studies have been conducted to determine the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. However, the existing studies have not identified English teachers’ self-efficacy in implementing the curriculum. Therefore, the present research aims to investigate the English teachers’ self-efficacy in applying the Independent Curriculum in secondary schools in Indonesia. This study was a mixed method study using a questionnaire and focus group discussions with teachers in teacher support groups. The data was collected from 171 secondary school English teachers. The results show that most English teachers understand the freedom offered by the government to schools and teachers in the new curriculum. However, they have low self-efficacy in implementing the curriculum in the teaching-learning process. They do not have adequate knowledge of how to translate the learning objectives specified by the government into their own syllabi. They do not have sufficient understanding or ability to conduct a needs analysis and syllabus design as a prerequisite for implementing the curriculum. Our research suggests that the teachers need further support from the government and teacher trainers through in-person hands-on training and workshops on needs analysis, syllabus design, and materials selection and development to effectively implement the Independent Curriculum.

Reading is crucial for development and educational outcomes, yet access to literacy resources and supportive environments is uneven, particularly in rural and low-income areas. Positive reading attitudes are linked to better reading achievement, but research on these attitudes among ESL speakers in non-Western, rural contexts remains limited. This study explores the attitudes of 4th and 5th graders towards recreational and academic reading in a rural Malaysian village, assessing students who participated in a reading program. Utilizing the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey, data were gathered from 74 of the 120 participants, achieving a 62% response rate. Analysis through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed a nuanced relationship between children’s reading attitudes and their engagement with various reading contexts and activities. Findings underscore a pronounced preference for recreational over academic reading, with both types of reading attitudes significantly interrelated. This suggests the program’s environment and involvement of reading partners may significantly shape children’s reading perceptions. Moreover, the study highlights the pivotal role of the reading context, indicating a direct correlation between children’s positive perception of their reading environment and their engagement levels. While the study did not delve into the impact of socio-economic status on program effectiveness, it signals the need for further research across diverse cultural settings to fully understand the efficacy of reading programs. The research concludes that after-school reading initiatives are instrumental in enhancing children’s academic and recreational reading attitudes, providing valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers focused on literacy development.
English for Specific Purposes for sport as a profession in Croatia: Students’ and teachers’ voices
Authors: Penjak Ana
Published: June 2024

University teaching staff in Croatia are expected to implement English Medium of Instruction (EMI) as an integral part of their teaching inventory, while students are encouraged to enrol in academic subjects taught in English. This study aimed: 1) to examine and analyse students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards the importance of using EMI, i.e., the importance of using English for Specific Purposes (ESP) for sport as a profession as an integral part of subjects delivered in English; 2) to provide feedback to all the ESP teachers regarding the necessity of creating adequate teaching materials for teaching ESP for sport as a profession. The study sample consisted of 91 students and 32 teachers randomly selected from one of the public universities in Croatia. Data was collected using an adapted questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed since the t-test for dependent samples showed no significant differences between the first and second measurements (p 0.05), and the correlation was moderate to high (r ranged between 0.71 and 0.89; p 0.05). The results show that the usage of ESP enhances the teaching and learning process and enriches their general knowledge of English. Also, the findings point towards the necessity of accumulating the number of teaching hours for subjects that implement EPS for sport as a profession and their availability at the academic level.

Objective: The aim of this study is to reflect on the profile and challenges of the teaching profession in a technologically and humanly challenging educational context, with the aim of understanding the relevance and status of the teaching career, as well as assessing and contextualizing the appeal and social commitment of this profession. 
 
Theoretical Framework: We brought together leading theorists, methodologists, pedagogues and thinkers related to the world of education and pedagogy, with special emphasis on Portuguese-Brazilian, European and Spanish-American authors.
 
Method: Narrative literature review, seeking to describe or discuss the current state of the research topic.
Results and Discussion: The relational triad between the function, the missions and the designs of the teaching function throughout the ages, whose conceptual-reflexive intersection embraces, exposes difficulties and, essentially, points to paths to be trodden in the future by those who (still) respond to the call to embrace a sick career.
 
Implications of the research: In the future, there are certain considerations that can be reflected on and improved, based on the structure and conceptual basis emanating from the reference authors (and works) that deal with the subject under debate and reflection.
 
Originality/Value: This review uniquely promotes reflection on the past (more or less recent) and the present and, above all, identifies some issues to be worked on for the future in this context and in the face of the real and current challenges of the teaching profession, in a socio-economic and socio-political context that is constantly changing, which is largely based on the assumption of the conjectural function of technical-technological conciliation with the interaction and social responsibility of the teacher towards society.
