Authors: Parra Jesus Miguel
Published: December 2023

Emotional regulation is closely connected to classroom learning, so the influence of the family on the child’s emotional regulation capacities is an important factor to consider. The objective of this study was to obtain working knowledge of the skills and cognition possessed by a group of parents in relation to their parental competences linked to emotional regulation of their children, and identify the strengths, weaknesses, and potentials of these parental competences. The research was carried out through a qualitative methodological design, based on the knowledge, skills, and practices that parents have on the emotional regulation of their children, considering that these practices are key to classroom learning and therefore to academic performance. As a methodological strategy of the investigation, the case study will be used, with a sample of a group of 28 fathers and mothers, with infant-age children (0–12 years) obtained through a network of parents and an Infant School in Madrid (Spain). Through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, the knowledge, skills, and practices that these parents carry out in the emotional regulation of their children were discovered. Concluding that it is necessary to reinforce some parental skills for improve the emotional regulation of their children, through courses, seminars, and family educational workshops, to put them into practice in a positive way, since this will influence learning (through motivation, communication, self-esteem, etc.).

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Aluminium (Al) is a trivalent cation that does not undergo redox changes. Extensive experimental shreds of evidence demonstrate in-vitro and in-vivo, that high Al concentrations cause oxidative stress; an imbalance between free radical generation and the antioxidant defense system. Oxidative stress induced by Aluminium is one of the major contributing factors to male reproductive disorders. Psidium guajava, the guava tree is widely distributed as a native plant in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, with its leaves being deployed in folk medicine to manage several diseased conditions such as; diarrhoea, stomach ache, and hepatic problems. The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of an aqueous extract of Pisidium guajava on Aluminium (AlCl3) induced testicular damage.
Materials and Methods: Thirty adult male Wistar rats were divided randomly into six (6) groups of five (5) animals each and used for this study. Group A was orally administered with 0.5 ml of normal saline from the 1st to the 14th day. Group B got 0.5 ml of 100mg/kg body weight of aluminium chloride (AlCl3) only, from the 1st to 14th day. Group C got 0.5 mls of 250mg/kg body weight of Psidium gaujava leaf extract from the 1st to 14th day, Group D got 0.5 mls of 500 mg/kg body weight of Psidium guajava from the 1st to 14th day. Group E got 0.5 mls of 100mg/kg body weight of aluminum chloride from the 1st to 14th day, and 0.5 mls of 250 mg/kg body weight of Psidium guajava leaf extract from the 15th to 28th day. Group F got 0.5mls of 100 mg/kg body weight of aluminum chloride from the 1st to the 14th day, and 0.5mls of 500 mg/kg body weight of Psidium guajava leaf extract from the 15th to the 28th day. Administration was via the oral gavage.
Results: Oral administration of aluminum chloride adversely compromised the testicular histomorphology of Wistar rats, causing testicular atrophy associated with degeneration of germ cells within the seminiferous tubules, and enlarged lumen with fewer spermatids compared with the non-treated animals.
Conclusion: Guava leaf extract reversed the damage caused by aluminum chloride, restoring the distorted seminiferous tubules and presenting the lumen with densely packed primary spermatocytes.

Use of inflammatory markers as predictor for mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients with stages IIIb-V chronic kidney disease?
Authors: Shanmugavel Geetha Harinivaas , Prabhu Sushmita , Sekar Abinesh , Gogtay Maya , Singh Yuvaraj , Mishra Ajay K , Abraham George M , Martin Suzanne
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Studies have shown elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) to predict mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Its utility is unknown in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who have elevated baseline CRP levels due to chronic inflammation and reduced renal clearance.

AIM

To assess whether an association exists between elevated inflammatory markers and MV rate in patients with stages IIIb-V CKD and COVID-19.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients with COVID-19 and stages IIIb-V CKD. The primary outcome was the rate of invasive MV, the rate of noninvasive MV, and the rate of no MV. Statistical analyses used unpaired t -test for continuous variables and chi-square analysis for categorical variables. Cutoffs for variables were CRP: 100 mg/L, ferritin: 530 ng/mL, D-dimer: 0.5 mg/L, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH): 590 U/L.

RESULTS

290 were screened, and 118 met the inclusion criteria. CRP, D-dimer, and ferritin were significantly different among the three groups. On univariate analysis for invasive MV (IMV), CRP had an odds ratio (OR)-5.44; ferritin, OR-2.8; LDH, OR-7.7; D-dimer, OR-3.9, (P < 0.05). The admission CRP level had an area under curve-receiver operator characteristic (AUROC): 0.747 for the IMV group (sensitivity-80.8%, specificity-50%) and 0.663 for the non-IMV (NIMV) group (area under the curve, sensitivity-69.2%, specificity-53%).

CONCLUSION

Our results demonstrate a positive correlation between CRP, ferritin, and D-dimer levels and MV and NIMV rates in CKD patients. The AUROC demonstrates a good sensitivity for CRP levels in detecting the need for MV in patients with stages IIIb-V CKD. This may be because of the greater magnitude of increased inflammation due to COVID-19 itself compared with increased inflammation and reduced clearance due to CKD alone.

Authors: Hamad Ali Juma , Ndibalema Placidius M. , Matalu Kulwa Yohana
Published: December 2023

Teachers' digital competence has been emphasised for improving quality education at all levels worldwide. In Zanzibar, the educational policy adopted digital lesson content (DLC) for teaching and learning in ordinary secondary schools. The study investigated the teachers' digital competence and factors that affect their use of DLCs for teaching and learning. One fifty-four (154) secondary school teachers from Wete district were given 5-point Likert Scale questionnaires. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the collected data with the help of SPSS version 25. The study found that the teachers' digital competence is high for using it in teaching and learning. Also, it was observed that the digital competence of the teachers was significantly associated with their attitude and in-service training. The paper concludes that using DLCs in third-world countries takes work. However, it is possible if the government and private sectors, such as NGOs, invest seriously in secondary school levels. Also, it recommends that responsible leaders distribute digital devices and plan regular in-service training for teachers on integrating DLCs at secondary schools to cope with the global vision of 2025. Last, the paper recommends further study considering a large sample size of secondary schools in Zanzibar through random sampling techniques.

Cystitis is relatively uncommon in horses and represents a significant health concern that can severely impact their ability to urinate and overall well-being. Clinical signs often include frequent urination accompanied by blood in the urine and a painful sensation during urination. To establish a definitive diagnosis, a comprehensive examination is imperative, which typically involves physical assessment, ultrasonography, cystoscopy, and rectal examination. Treatment is aimed at relieving bladder distention and preventing potential complications. In this report, a case of a six-year-old late-term pregnant mare was presented at Veterinary Clinics, with a history of voiding blood in urine. Further diagnostic evaluation confirmed cystitis, and appropriate therapeutic measures were taken, resulting in a successful recovery for the mare without complications.

Gastrointestinal nematodes are a major constraint on small ruminant farming in Burkina Faso. To overcome this, rural farmers use the Balanites aegyptiaca plant to combat gastrointestinal parasites on their family farms. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the in vitro anthelmintic efficacy of the aqueous extract of B. aegyptiaca almonds powder against the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. To this end, in vitro tests were carried out to evaluate the biological activity of the aqueous extract using five increasing concentrations over the three life stages of H. contortus by performing the tests (i) inhibition of egg hatch, (ii) inhibition of larva development and (iii) mortality of adult female worms. The results showed 21.22-80.4 %, 47.80-88.57 % and 22.20-100 % of ovicide, larvicide and vermicide rates, respectively. The effects were dose and exposition time dependent. The median lethal inhibition concentrations (IC50) were estimated to be 2.20 and 0.84 mg/ mL for the inhibitionof egg and the inhibition of larva, respectively. It can be concluded that B. aegyptiaca almonds powder has anthelmintic activity against H. contortus. However, this activity needs to be verified in vivo to reassure farmers about its use in small ruminant raising.

The history of Indian forest is closely linked with political history. The epics Ramayana and Mahabharata give an attractive description of forests. The Dandakaranya, the Khanadavban and the Nandanvan come from them. Ancient Hindu culture is said to have evolved in Aryans. Literatures are not however scientific treaties. Nevertheless, they give a glimpse into dim and distant past. They are an indication of the level of significance the forests had in the cultural life of people. The dense forests of India have been found to have protected the land in the past, but population grew, the forest began to deplete. However, historically, the people of India have respected forests, and many religious ceremonies focused on trees and plants. Gautama Buddha preached that people should plant trees every five years, and sacred groves were marked around temples. Chandra Gupta Maurya and Ashoka also recognized the importance of forests and implemented polices for their protection and growth. During the British colonial period, the forests were gradually appropriated for revenue generation, but after India gained independence in 1947, a new Forest Policy was established to protect the forests and retain a third of India’s land area under forest cover. Forests have been playing a vital role in meeting the demands of domestic and in meeting the demand which ushered in a total mismatch between demand and supply. Over the following years, people’s attitudes towards forests changed, leading to significant development in forestry in India. More emphasis is given to conservation and management of forests, which contributes to sustainable development of forestry in India. A large number of forest-based industries were set up, which contributed immensely towards the economic growth of the country.

This article analyzes the role of financial instruments in supporting and stimulating business innovations, considers venture financing, lending, crowdfunding and other mechanisms as key levers for the development of innovative projects and startups. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the factors that make certain financial instruments more effective in supporting innovation. The advantages and disadvantages of each instrument are considered, and their ability to adapt to the changing business environment is discussed. The article utilizes a variety of research methods, including literature review, case studies, and comparative analysis, to provide a comprehensive view of the topic. The study shows that venture capital investments often provide not only capital, but also valuable knowledge, mentoring, and access to a network of contacts. The results indicate that traditional bank lending is often inaccessible or insufficiently flexible for innovation-oriented companies due to the high level of risk. However, specialized loan programs, such as government guarantees and subsidized loans, can increase the availability of credit for innovative projects. Crowdfunding is an effective tool for validating market demand and raising initial funding, especially for projects that go beyond traditional investment models. The results emphasize the importance of financial innovations, such as fintech solutions and digital currencies, which can simplify access to capital and reduce transaction costs for innovative enterprises. One of the key challenges is the divergent understanding of risk between investors and innovators. The article emphasizes that bureaucracy and complexity of processes for obtaining financing can significantly slow down or even stop innovation initiatives, and the flexibility and adaptability of financial instruments are key to effectively supporting innovation, especially in the context of a rapidly changing market and technological progress. These results provide important insights into various aspects of innovation financing and can be used to develop more effective strategies and policies in this area.

Experimental study of the interaction of wind with a wave induced by a wave
producer in a direct channel
Authors: Ivanova I.N. , Melnikova O.N.
Published: December 2023

An experimental study of the effect of wind blowing a wave induced by a wave generator in a direct channel
has been carried out. It is shown that at low wave steepness 𝑎𝑘 < 0.1 and wind speed 𝑊 < 2.3 m/s, a drift
current occurs on the water surface due to the influence of viscous forces. A formula for calculating its velocity
is proposed. It is found that the phase velocity of the wave increases with the appearance of a drift flow and
can be calculated using the formula obtained for linear waves on a flow with a constant velocity shift. With
an increase in the steepness of the wave 𝑎𝑘 > 0.19 and an increase in wind 𝑊 > 2.3 m/s, the formation of a
vortex deforming the water surface was detected in the air flow above the top of the wave crest. The vortex
destroys the viscous layer, reducing the drift velocity. At the same time, the phase velocity and wavelength
decrease. A mechanism explaining this process is proposed.

En Costa Rica, varios plaguicidas se utilizan en la producción de plátano, entre estos, bolsas o fundas tratadas con el insecticida clorpirifos para proteger los racimos de plagas; sin embargo, la exposición a este insecticida pueda afectar la salud humana, particularmente la infantil. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la efectividad del uso de bolsas sin plaguicida en el cultivo de plátano por medio de observaciones de campo y entrevistas a 22 personas productoras indígenas y no-indígenas de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica. Se georreferenciaron las fincas, se caracterizaron sus plantas, se embolsaron 1 452 racimos con bolsas de polietileno de baja densidad sin plaguicidas y se evaluó la calidad de la tercera mano de 294 racimos cosechados. Finalmente, se realizaron encuestas de percepción de la efectividad de las bolsas a 12 personas productoras. Las parcelas fueron similares, excepto por la densidad de siembra (inferior en territorio indígena vrs. no indígena). En cuanto a efectividad de las bolsas, solo un 8 % (n=23) presentaó manchas o daño por Trips (Hercinothrips femoralis) y un 83 % de la producción fue de Clase I. Asimismo, 11 de las 12 personas productoras indicaron que desean continuar con el uso de estas bolsas. Así, las bolsas sin plaguicida protegieron el plátano de forma satisfactoria y parecen ser una alternativa para la bolsa tratada con clorpirifos. Se recomienda evaluar su efectividad durante varios ciclos de producción de plátano.

Este trabajo se centra en los Estándares Internacionales de Contabilidad (IFRS) y la empleabilidad de los egresados de Contaduría Pública. Antes de la implementación de los IFRS, la falta de armonización en las normas contables a nivel global generaba confusión y dificultaba la toma de decisiones de inversión y la transparencia financiera. El objetivo principal del trabajo es evaluar por qué son importantes los Estándares Internacionales de Contabilidad para lograr la empleabilidad de egresados de la carrera de Contaduría Pública. La metodología utilizada involucra una revisión bibliográfica documental con enfoque cualitativo y alcance descriptivo, basada en una estrategia de búsqueda y una selección rigurosa de artículos académicos relevantes. Se destaca la importancia de que los egresados adquieran habilidades clave relacionadas con los IFRS, como la interpretación y aplicación en situaciones financieras reales, la preparación de estados financieros de acuerdo con los IFRS, la evaluación y comunicación del impacto de los IFRS en la presentación de informes financieros, y la capacidad de mantenerse actualizados con los cambios en los IFRS.

AKLA VEDA ÇAĞI: YENİ SAĞ POPÜLİZMİN KÖKENLERİ ÜZERİNE
Authors: ÖZDEMİR İlker
Published: December 2023

Yeni sağ (yeni liberal ve yeni muhafazakâr) yaklaşımların ortaklaşmış olduğu iddia, dünyanın 1980’lerden itibaren yeni bir çağa girmiş olduğudur. Yeni bir çağa girildiği iddiası sağ, liberal ve muhafazakâr kelimelerine eklenen yeni ekiyle birlikte post (ötesi) ekleriyle de belirgin bir hâle getirilmiştir. Sanayi ötesi toplum (post-industrial society), post-fordism (fordizm ötesi), modernlik ötesi (post-modernism) ve hatta kapitalist ötesi toplum (post-capitalist society). Bu yaklaşımları the end eki ile başlayan betimlemeler tamamlamaktadır. İdeolojilerin sonu (the end of the ideology), tarihin sonu (the end of the history) gibi. Birbiriyle bağlantılı olan bu görkemli iddialar insanlık tarihinde yepyeni bir çağa girildiğini muştulamakta ve bir dönemin aşıldığı, ötesine geçildiği (post) ve kapandığı- ki bu dönem bütünüyle olumsuzlanarak ele alınmaktadır- ve yepyeni ve görkemli bir çağın başladığı iddia edilmektedir.

Bu makalede sorgulanan ilk şey bu yenilik, ötesilik ve son iddialarıdır. Bir başka deyişle bu yaklaşımların ötesine geçildiğini ve artık sona erdiğini öne sürdükleri olguların -ki bu yaklaşımlar tarafından ötesine geçilmesi ve sona ermesi gerektiği işaret edilmektedir- neler olduğuna bakılarak yeni sağ yaklaşımların nelere karşı olduğu, nelerin ötesine geçilmesi ve sona ermesi gerektiği düşüncesini seslendirmiş oldukları, kısacası yeni sağ yaklaşımların hangi toplumsal-politik olgulara karşı düşmanca bir tavır içinde olduklarına bakılacaktır. Ardından yeni eki ile ortaya atılan iddialar sorgulanarak bu yaklaşımların gerçekten yeni bir yaklaşımı ve yeni bir toplumsal formasyonu temsil edip etmedikleri ele alınacaktır. Son olarak ise neo-liberalizm olarak bilinen dönemde (biz bunu yani liberal ve yeni muhafazakâr yaklaşımların sentezi olduğu için yeni sağ olarak kavramlaştırmayı yeğliyoruz) bu yeni sağ politikalara karşı tepki olarak ortaya çıkan sağ popülist hareketlerin bu hareketlerin alternatifi olup olmadıkları ya da başka bir deyişle bu yaklaşımların birbirinin anti tezleri mi, yoksa birbirlerinin devamını temsil ettikleri sorgulanmıştır.
SOSYAL POLİTİKA DİSİPLİNİ ÜZERİNDEN KOOPERATİFLERİ YENİDEN DÜŞÜNMEK
Authors: ÇİÇEK Özal
Published: December 2023

Son dönemlerde uluslararası ve ulusal platformlarda sıklıkla tartışılan ve uzun bir aradan sonra yeniden gündem oluşturmayı başaran kooperatifçilik hareketi, sosyal politika disiplini içerisindeki yeri ve önemi açısından tekrardan hatırlanmaya başlamaktadır. Kooperatifçilik düşüncesi, üniversitelerde büyük oranda işletme alanının bir dalı olarak sunulmakla birlikte, esasında ele aldığı perspektifle toplumsal kalkınmayı önceleyen yapısı, her alanda tekelleşmeye karşı duruşu ve kooperatifler bünyesinde yer alan geniş halk kesimlerinin sömürülmesine karşı çıkan ilkeleriyle, sosyo ekonomik adaletin sağlanmasında önemli roller oynamaktadır. Bu roller, kooperatifçilik hareketini sosyal politika disiplininin asli bir parçası haline getirmektedir. 1970’li yıllarda sosyal devletin zayıflatılması ve neo-liberal iktisadi söylemlerin giderek büyümesiyle birlikte toplumsal kesimlerin yerel ve küresel ölçekte yaşadığı mülksüzleşme, güvencesizleşme ve proleterleşme sonucunda gözlemlenen sosyo-ekonomik tahribat karşısında kooperatifçilik düşüncesi yeniden gündeme gelmeye başlamaktadır. Bu açıdan bakıldığında neo-liberalizmin yarattığı sosyal tahribatın bir anti-tezi olarak düşünülebilecek kooperatifçilik hareketleri, gelişim gösterdiği 19. yüzyıldan günümüze biriktirdiği deneyimlerden de aldığı derslerle, yeni toplumsal stratejiler ve sınıf temelli ilişki ağları inşa etmeye çalışmaktadır. İlgili çalışma kapsamında sosyal politika disipliniyle olan ilişkisi üzerinden kooperatifçiliği anlamaya çalışmak ve ideal bir kooperatifçilik hareketinin izini sürmeye yönelik tartışmaları derinleştirmek amaçlanmaktadır.
