Published: November 2023

Purpose: The study assessed the implementation process of early childhood education in distance learning during the Covid-19 lockdown in Osun State. It also determined the delivery system for distance pre-school education during the Covid-19 lockdown in the study area and examined the challenges of distance learning in early childhood education during the Covid-19 lockdown in the study area. These were done with a view to providing empirical information on the implementation process of early childhood education in distance learning during the Covid-19 lockdown in Osun State.

Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design. The population consisted of all the early childhood administrators of pre-primary schools in Osun state. The sample comprised 30 early childhood education centres selected across the three senatorial districts in the state. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select the sample for the study. For the three senatorial districts, one local government area (LGA) was selected using simple random sampling technique. From each LGA, ten early childhood education centres were selected using simple random sampling techniques. All schools that had preschool sections and accepted to participate in the study were involved. From each preschool centre an administrative head/representative was selected using simple random sampling technique. One research instrument was used titled; ‘Pre-schoolers Centers Covid-19 Lockdown Assessment Questionnaire (PCCAQ). Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics was used to calculate the reliability of the PCCAQ and was found to be 0.71. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts and simple percentages.

Findings: The result in the study showed that the implementation process for distance learning during the covid-19 lockdown was poor with 80.0% of the preschoolers' centres did not implement distance learning during covid-19 lockdown. In addition, results revealed that the delivery system for distance pre-school education during covid-19 lockdown in the study area was very poor with 70.0% of preschool centres not organising distance learning during the period of the lockdown.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Finally, the result showed that 66.7% of the pre-school centres were having challenges in engaging children during the period of the lockdown. The study concluded that early childhood education programmes by pre-schools during covid-19 lockdown in Osun state were not implemented.

Stress management in organizations: an analysis of the medical sector
Authors: Yıldırım Yavuz , Akbarov Tamerlan
Published: November 2023

Stress is one of the biggest management challenges for organizations worldwide today. The decrease in labor productivity, product quality, increase in staff turnover, and increase in disciplinary violations, work-related injuries and more frequent illness of employees are precisely due to stress. Eliminating the effects of organizational stress is costly. For example, in the United States alone, companies spend more than $60 billion a year on measures to combat the effects of stress (sick leave, creation of psychological support services for staff, etc.). Therefore, a modern manager must be fully aware of the danger of stress, be able to diagnose a stressful situation among employees, identify and eliminate its causes, apply basic and modern methods of dealing with stress in an organization, and develop stress prevention. The issue of stress as a scientific category has only been seriously studied in the 20th century. The article is about stress management.

Authors: Ибрагимова Мехин
Published: November 2023

В статье рассматриваются понятие «социум» и процессы социокультурной самоидентификации в контексте дискурса эстетики и в качестве эстетических феноменов. Для анализа привлечена постмодернистская концепция феноменов идентичности, знака, значения, а также некоторые традиционные редукционистские концепции социума и социальных феноменов. Так, например, в статье рассматривается понимание процесса социокультурной самоидентификации и социокультурного моделирования (бытия) в контексте кантианской концепции соотношения познания и возникающей на основе принципов познания «реальности». Именно в указанной перспективе и сопоставляются различные прагматические дискурсы и эстетический дискурс с точки зрения понимания «социума» и процессов социокультурной самоидентификации.

Authors: Egamberdieva Z. , Nurmukhamedova F. , Jabbarova D. , Salomov K.
Published: November 2023

Background: Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure performed for various indications, and different techniques have been developed for its execution. One such method is coblation, which utilizes controlled radiofrequency energy to remove tonsil tissue. In this study, we compared coblation with a new monopolar electrosurgical extracapsular tonsillectomy technique. Methods: A prospective clinical investigation was conducted at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology at the "Happy Life" Clinic. The study included 45 patients aged 6–18 years who had undergone extracapsular coblation and monopolar electrosurgical tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis. Data regarding age, gender, disease duration, operation duration, estimated intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain assessment, post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH), and complications were collected. Results: Coblation exhibited significantly lower average pain scores than the monopolar technique on the first (p < 0.001) and second postoperative days (p = 0.02). However, pain assessments were comparable at all other time points. The monopolar group had significantly shorter operation times (16.09 ± 6.53 minutes) compared to the coblation group (20.12 ± 5.12 minutes, p < 0.001). Intraoperative blood loss did not significantly differ between the groups (p = 0.39). PTH occurred in 6 patients (13.3%) and required surgical intervention. Secondary PTH rates were 4.44% (2/45) and 2.2% (1/45) in the coblation and monopolar therapy groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Coblation and the new monopolar electrosurgical extracapsular tonsillectomy exhibited similar postoperative pain outcomes, except for the first and second postoperative days. Nevertheless, the monopolar technique provides substantial advantages with shorter operation times, reduced secondary PTH risk, and cost-effectiveness, making it a preferred choice, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study was to establish the moderating influence of learner diversity on the relationship between institutional readiness and learner participation in distance learning in Kenya. The study adopted a mixed-methods research. The target population included 916 learners enrolled in bachelor of education programs, with a representative sample of 180 students selected. A structured survey questionnaire was utilized to collect data. Open-ended survey questions provided qualitative insights, enriching the data. The qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize the quantitative data, providing a clear overview of learners' perceptions and responses.  Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test this hypothesis. The findings suggest that learner diversity does not significantly alter the relationship between institutional readiness and learner engagement. While institutional readiness remains a robust predictor of participation (Model 1: β = 0.920, t = 31.226, p < 0.05), the introduction of the moderating variable in Model 2 leads to diminished individual significance for both institutional readiness and the moderating variable. However, Model 3 unveils a nuanced landscape, emphasizing the critical role of the interaction term. The substantial impact of the interaction term (β = -8.392, t = -12.019, p < 0.05) underscores the intricate interplay between institutional readiness and learner diversity. This study emphasizes the importance of prioritizing institutional readiness to enhance learner participation in distance learning, acknowledging the subtle yet influential role of learner diversity in shaping this relationship. Future research could delve deeper into the specific mechanisms through which learner diversity interacts with institutional readiness to influence participation. To enhance distance learning in Kenya, it is recommended to strengthen institutional readiness by investing in robust technological infrastructure. Continuous faculty training programs should be implemented to enhance digital teaching proficiency. Collaborative efforts among faculty members to improve online learning experiences should be encouraged. Equitable access to resources, particularly for diverse learners, must be ensured to promote inclusivity. Policymakers should prioritize these measures, emphasizing the significance of a well-prepared institutional environment for effective and equitable distance education in Kenya.

Authors: Khalaf Zainab Ali , Abdul-Saheb Yusra Sabri , Najim Safaa Sabri
Published: November 2023

Background: The human body needs minerals and micronutrients. It is important to estimate the micronutrients (Fe+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, Zn+2, Cu+2, K+, Na+) in the serum of female patients with diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as needed for insulin and glucose metabolism, especially zinc, manganese, and magnesium, which activate insulin receptor sites. Aim: Estimate the micronutrient concentrations by (µg/mL) and determine their effects on insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Methods: The study was conducted at Maysan Province Endocrinology and Diabetes Center from January to April 2023. It included 120 women aged (20 – 65) years separated into two groups. The control group included 40 healthy women, and the patient group included 80 women with diabetic mellitus (T2DM). The IBM SPSS Statistics and the t-test were used to compare the two groups. Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference at the level (P?0.05) for the average concentration of Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Potassium, and Sodium, while Iron concentration was a non-significant decrease at (P?0.05) in the patients with (T2DM) compared with the control group. The concentration of micronutrients in diabetes mellitus and healthy groups was Na+ > Cu+2 > Zn+2 > Mn+2 > Fe+2 > K+ > Mg+2 and Na+ > Cu+2 > K+ > Mg+2 > Fe+2 > Zn+2 > Mn+2 respectively. In the T2DM group, the trace element with the highest observed concentration was the Sodium ion, while Manganese (Mn+2) had the lowest concentration. Conversely, in the control group, Sodium (Na+) showed the highest concentration and Magnesium (Mg+2) the lowest. Discussion: Sodium had the greatest micronutrient content in both the control and T2DM groups. Micronutrient differences may affect insulin resistance and diabetes. Conclusions: The variation in the micronutrient concentration was statistically significant between the diabetes mellitus and control groups, except for Iron, demonstrating the complex relationship between micronutrient levels and metabolic disorders

Authors: Hasan Noora Kareem Abdul , Khalifa Ahmed Aboud
Published: November 2023

Background: Lipoprotein cholesterol measurements fluctuated across the menstrual cycle, corresponding to rising and declining concentrations of gonadotropins and ovarian steroid hormones levels in young women, whereas premenopausal women and those who inside the menopausal transition characterized by a poor ovarian response to high secretion of gonadotropin leading to low levels of ovarian steroids. Aims: To investigate the lipoprotein cholesterol changes and their interactions with sex steroid hormones during different phases of the menstrual cycle in menstruated young and old (premenopausal) women. Methods: The sample included thirty healthy women (aged 20-45 years) divided into two groups with 15 women /group according to their ages )20-25 years( (40-45 years). Blood samples were collected on the 8th, 16th, and 24th days of the menstrual cycle from both young and old menstruating women to compare the previous parameters between these days for each group and compare these parameters between similar days for the first and second groups. Lipid profile (Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), High density lipoprotein (HDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL), and Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) changes be assayed by Bio-Systems Kit components. Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's test, and t-tests were used to assess differences between groups. Results: TC and TG levels did not significantly increase on the 8th day of the menstrual cycle, which represents the follicular phase, in comparison with the other days (16th and 24th days). However, LDL level increased significantly (p ? 0.05) on the 8th day compared to the other days. On the other hand, HDL and VLDL levels increased on the 16th day of the menstrual cycle, which represents the ovulatory phase. Discussion: TC, TG, and LDL levels increased during the follicular phase and were accompanied by high levels of FSH and estradiol, leading to a favorable lipid profile, whereas FSH and estradiol are considered regulators of cholesterol biosynthesis and a buffering capacity. HDL and VLDL levels rise during ovulation to meet the requirements of ovulation and ensure successful ovulation. Conclusions: Studying and evaluating changes in the lipid profile according to the menstrual cycle phase of the menstrual cycle represents an important issue in knowing the physiological and healthy woman state and preventing cardiovascular disease incidence.

Authors: Canchan Richard Alex Contreras , Collantes Hugo David Chirinos , Acevedo Aldo Max Delgado , Carrera Cesar Osorio
Published: November 2023

Background: The advancement of the mining industry implies the generation of acid drainage because operations consume between 2% and 4.5% of water demand. In addition, it is estimated that 50,000 tons of waste will be produced, of which 33% represents wastewater stored in tailings tanks. These effluents contain heavy metals such as Fe and Cu that represent a serious danger to society. Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of photocatalysis for the removal of Fe and Cu in industrial wastewater. This involves the control of process parameters: the catalyst dose (TiO2), pH, and time (days). Methods: The method used is experimental, controlling the process variables through a factorial design. The process variables were monitored applying the 33 factorial design, that is, 3 factors with 3 levels without repetitions. The tests were conducted under conditions with a catalyst at doses of 1.2 and 3 g/L, pH of 2.5 and 8, and a retention time of 1, 2, and 3 days. Therefore, the combination of the factors resulted in 27 experimental units. Results and Discussion: For the photocatalysis application time, in 2 days there were fewer concentrations of Fe and Cu, reaching 0.02 and 0.09 ppm, respectively. In the case of pH, a value of 8 resulted in lower concentrations of Fe and Cu. The optimal dose of the catalyst was 0.5 g/L of TiO2. The removal efficiency was 99.99% for Fe and 99.97% for Cu. In the factor analysis, it is observed that pH has the greatest influence on the removal of Fe and Cu, followed by the time factor. A strong interaction between the two variables is also observed. Conclusions: In conclusion, it was possible to remove Fe and Cu through the application of photocatalysis in synthetic wastewater. The optimal conditions were: pH 8, application time of 2 days, catalyst dose (TiO2) 0.5 g/L, and a removal efficiency greater than 99.90%. These values were similar to those reported by other authors.

Bu kullanım o kadar fazladır ki, günümüzde sosyal medya bağımlılığı, bağımlılık türlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Literatür verileri göstermiştir ki sosyal medya bağımlılığının fiziksel, psikolojik ve bilişsel olmak üzere pek çok probleme yol açmaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında; her yaştan birey arasında dijital okuryazarlığı ve farkındalığı teşvik edilmesinin önemli olduğu, fakat insanları dijital medyanın bağımlılık yapıcı doğası ve olası sonuçları konusunda eğitmenin gereklilik olduğu vurgulanmıştır.

Civil Society in India Complimenting the Government Initiatives – An Overview
Authors: Sindhura Dr. K.
Published: November 2023

The Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) is poorly understood, since the term employed to describe it lacks clarity. In the present article the author has examined the role of Civil Society in India complimenting the government initiatives. Lester and Anheier (1992) reviewed different ways of defining the Non-Governmental Organisation. They defined the NGO as a group of organisations which were formally established. The basic structure of the Non-Profit organisations was non-governmental, self-governed, voluntary and non-Profit activities. The three basic categories of the NGOs' roles were partners, catalysts, and implementers. NGOs typically support government efforts, though occasionally they have attempted to introduce reforms. The government relies on or supported NGOs to carry out specific tasks in various contexts, such as the nation and the State. Nearly all nations have NGOs, but their structures and standards varied depending on where they operate. The emergence of NGOs varies in each nation. The way NGOs had been operating lately has also drawn criticism. Politicians criticized NGOs' expanding influence and substantial financial resources (Lewis, 2010). NGOs are adaptable, creative, and effective at providing essential services and reducing poverty. At a lower cost than governments, they could reach isolated and poor populations. They are able to determine the genuine local needs, promote participation, and disseminate the necessary development technology. There were several opportunities for NGOs to revive their humanitarian efforts (Khandpekar, 2016). NGOs are vital to the success of development efforts in reaching the population. NGOs mostly concentrated on health care and education between the years1950 and 1960. Later, they have begun concentrating on initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and developing activities for the underprivileged. The growth of NGOs and the services they provide are directly impacted by state policy in India.
Export-Led Policy, Agricultural, Industrial, and Financial Sectors Growth in Cameroon
Authors: Fondem Divine B. , Luo Yongli
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between export and sectoral growth in Cameroon. The study retrieves time series data from the World Bank database during 1970-2021 . It applies the unit roots test, the Johansen cointegration test, and vector error correction model to investigate the long-run relationship between export expansion and sectoral growth. The results indicate that the long-run relationship exists between export and agricultural, industrial, as well as financial sectors’ growth in Cameroon. The impulse response function clearly shows that a unique shock to export would positively affect sectoral growth. In general, it suggests that the export-led policy will eventually enhance the economic growth and development in the agricultural, industrial, and financial sectors in Cameroon.
Os super-heróis e super-heroínas podem salvar a Antártica?
Authors: Petsch Carina , França Beatriz , Fernandes Janine , Ben Franciele
Published: November 2023

Contexto: A pesquisa apresenta a prática pedagógica da super-herói/super-heroína do continente Antártico como recurso para desenvolver a educação polar no Brasil. A metodologia consiste em três etapas. Na primeira etapa, são apresentados materiais como slides, mapas, vídeos e fotografias da Antártica, proporcionando aos alunos uma visão geral desse ambiente remoto e seus problemas ambientais. Na segunda etapa, os alunos participam de debates sobre a Antártica, questionando informações errôneas frequentemente encontradas na mídia, o que permite uma compreensão mais precisa da região. A terceira etapa envolve a criação de desenhos que representem super-heróis/super-heroínas do continente Antártico, com superpoderes para combater os impactos ambientais. Considerações: Embora os alunos enfrentem dificuldades em pensar em soluções concretas para intervir nos problemas ambientais da Antártica, a atividade proporciona resultados relevantes, com avanço significativo na compreensão dos alunos sobre a Antártica. A prática pedagógica mostra-se promissora para promover o aprendizado sobre a educação polar no Brasil, mas é importante incentivar os alunos a desenvolverem soluções mais concretas para os problemas enfrentados na Antártica e explorar abordagens pedagógicas criativas para enriquecer a educação polar no país.

Authors: Freire Luciana , Cook Jamylle , Lima Joselito
Published: November 2023

Contexto: As histórias em quadrinhos (HQs), possuem uma linguagem de fácil compreensão e elementos que visualmente cativam o leitor, principalmente o público jovem, de modo que podem ser utilizadas como ferramenta de ensino. Metodologia: A proposta do uso de HQs para o ensino de Geografia apresenta-se como uma possibilidade de linguagem mista, onde há uma predominância de recursos visuais que podem ser utilizados para o aprendizado sobre os elementos físicos da natureza.  Com objetivo de transmitir de forma prática, acessível e atrativa alguns conceitos acerca da Geodiversidade Paraense, este artigo tem a HQ como um meio de ensino na Geografia, utilizando personagens criados a partir da cultura local. A contação de histórias é feita por personagens do cotidiano paraense criados e adaptados para a linguagem dos quadrinhos. Os personagens realizam uma viagem por diferentes paisagens da Amazônia paraense, apresentando-as e ensinando sobre as características físico-geográficas, com foco no conceito de Geodiversidade. Considerações: Nesse sentido, as HQs apresentam-se como uma estratégia alternativa e dinâmica auxiliando o ensino e aprendizagem multidisciplinar da Geografia.
GÜZELDEN DE ÖTE: SHIZUTERU UEDA’NIN DOĞA ESTETİĞİ VE JAPON SANATLARI
Authors: ÖZDEMİR İbrahim Soner
Published: November 2023

Bu makale Kyoto Okulu’nun üçüncü kuşak temsilcilerinden Shizuteru Ueda’nın doğa estetiğinin başlıca yönlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla makalede Ueda’nın “doğa” kavramını nasıl tanımladığı, Japoncada doğanın karşılığı olan shizen kelimesini hangi anlamlarda kullandığı, güzellik ve Japon sanatlarıyla doğa arasındaki ilişkiyle ilgili değerlendirmeleri ele alınmaktadır. Ueda’nın değerlendirmeleri, aralarında belli farklar olmakla birlikte Kyoto Okulu’nun doğa estetiğinin ortak tanımlayıcı niteliklerini belirgin hale getirirken, sadece doğa güzelliğiyle ilgili değil estetik ve sanatın tanımıyla ilgili belli kabullerin de gözden geçirilmesine götüren sonuçlar ortaya koymaktadır. Ueda’nın çözümlemeleri ayrıca, Japon sanatlarının olduğu haliyle doğaya ulaşmanın bir yolu olarak görüldüğü Kyoto Okulu doğa estetiğinin, çağdaş çevre estetiğindeki doğanın estetik olarak değerlendirilmesi ve korunmasıyla ilgili tartışmalara yapabileceği katkıların temel çerçevesini açığa çıkarmaktadır.
BİLİMSEL DEVRİM: ARİSTOTELESÇİ BİLİMDEN MODERN OLANA GEÇİŞİN KISA BİR ÖYKÜSÜ
Authors: SALĞAR Ercan
Published: November 2023

Birçok düşünür, 17. yüzyıl Batı Avrupa’sında ortaya çıkan bilimsel devrimi, insanlık tarihinin en önemli olaylarından biri olarak değerlendirir. Bilimsel devrim gerek teorik gerekse pratik sonuçları açısından insanlık tarihini derinden etkilemiştir. Bu gerekçeyle çalışmanın amacı bilimsel devrim konusunu gerek kavramsal gerek tarihsel yönleriyle ele alıp incelemektir. Bu maksatla öncelikle bilimsel devrim kavramı analiz edildi, ardından Aristotelesçi bilim ve onun eleştirisine yer verildi ve son olarak da modern bilimin kuruluşu, dönemim bilim adamları nazarında ele alındı. Sonuç olarak modern bilimin öne sürdüğü, doğa tasarımı ve yöntem anlayışının Aristotelesçi bilimden mantıksal ve anlamsal olarak farklı olduğu ve bunun da bilimsel devrim kavramını meşrulaştırdığı ve gerekçelendirdiği söylenebilir.
BİRLEŞİK KRALLIK’IN ULUSLARARASI TİCARETİ ÜZERİNDE “BREXIT” SÜRECİNİN ETKİLERİ: EKONOMETRİK BİR UYGULAMA
Authors: AYAN Enes , ŞEKER Ayberk
Published: November 2023

Çalışma kapsamında, Brexit sürecini ve Brexit'in BK’nin uluslararası ticareti üzerindeki etkileri BK’nin 2012-2022 yılları arasındaki çeyreklik veriler kullanılarak zaman serisi analizleri vasıtasıyla ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Brexit sürecinin BK-AB ülkeleri arasındaki uluslararası ticarete etkileri dikkate alındığında, yapısal kırılma ihtimalinin yüksek olması nedeniyle analizlerde serilerdeki kırılmaları içsel olarak tahminleyen Zivot-Andrews birim kök testi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, BK’nin toplam ticaret hacminde 2020 yılının ikinci ve üçüncü çeyreği ile 2021 yılının ikinci çeyreklerinde yapısal kırılmaların oluştuğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. BK’nin ithalatında 2020 yılında ve 2021 yılının üçüncü çeyreğinde yapısal kırılmaların gerçekleştiği gözlemlenmiştir. En Küçük Kareler (EKK) tahmin tekniği vasıtasıyla gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda, BK’nin gayrisafi yurtiçi hasılasındaki artış oranının toplam ticaret hacmi oranını yüksek seviyede arttıracağı, ihracatını toplam ticaret hacmine göre daha az oranda arttıracağı, ithalatını ise daha yüksek oranda arttıracağı tespit edilmiştir. Döviz kurundaki yükselmenin toplam ticaret hacmini ihracata göre daha az düzeyde arttıracağı, ithalatı ise daha az düzeyde arttıracağı ortaya koyulmuştur. Çalışmanın araştırma değişkeni olan Brexit sürecinin yaşanması BK’nin ithalatında %0.08’lik bir artış sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Sabit sermaye yatırımlarının ise BK’nin uluslararası ticaretinde istatistiki olarak etkisinin bulunmadığı saptanmıştır.
