A Specific Kind of Representation: How Systematics May Ease Cognitive Overload
Authors: Cezikturk Özlem
Published: July 2022

Multiple representations are beneficial for meaningful understanding. However, three or more representations may add to the cognitive overload of students, if not in interactive diagrams and dynamic geometry. How a well-known representation consisting of more than 3 or more representational registers may overcome the problem of cognitive overload without being too complicated. In this study, an old but well-structured representation that was used even over 40 years was analyzed. The critical points of a function, asymptotes, x / y-intercepts, inflection points, and graphing can be identified easily. It is prepared in the form of a table and the factors of the first derivative of the function and the second derivative and their roots indicate the function’s increasing and decreasing intervals and its graph. This representation is very systematic and it acts like a method to draw the function’s graph with no-fault possible. Yet, besides being used for many years, is still used for courses like Calculus, etc. We argue that cognitive overload theory cannot alter this representation due to its systematic nature. In content analysis, some examples of this representation are shared via the reader, and some qualitative aspects about it are analyzed. Finally, its systematicity, well-structured nature, and nature in reducing extraneous cognitive load are emphasized. The important thing here is that it is very strategic not to lose some representations for the sake of new ones if their value is already known but not discussed too much.

Published: July 2022

Partners in this community service is a Tunagrahita group in Karangpatihan Village, Balong Ponorogo. The main problem by partners is weakness in thinking, acting, and socializing with the community so that they are unable to work and unable to make ends meet. This was due to the food crisis in 1967. This condition took place over the years so resulted in the disabled people being unable to work like normal people, resulting in economic disability. To fulfill their daily needs, the Tunagrahita depend their economy on assistance from other parties (social assistance), both from the general public and assistance from the government in order to survive. Seeing these problems, the PKM team tried to provide solutions to help meet the economic needs of Tunagrahita by increasing its potential both in terms of knowledge and skills by farming such as cultivating vegetables using polybag planting media. The products produced are daily needs of the community, namely capsicum, frutescens, brassica rapa, V. unguiculata and S. lycopersicum. The method in this activity is participatory training through training, mentoring and evaluation of the program being implemented. The purpose of this service is to help the Tunagrahita community groups to improve in terms of economy, social and knowledge so that the Tunagrahita can get income to meet their needs without having to continually depend on their economy on the help of other parties. The results of this dedication are that currently 1) the Tunagrahita are starting to be able to cultivate crops., 2) the Tunagrahita are starting to be able to pack and branding of their crops and begin to be able to sell to the nearest market or shop, and 3) Tunagrahita have not been able to make simple bookkeeping of the results of plant cultivation products because of their low Intellectual Quotient (IQ) level because from the start they are not familiar with literacy.

Published: July 2022

Conceptually, smart villages are related to resource management carried out by the government by utilizing appropriate technology. There are 3 main elements that make up a smart village that must be accommodated properly, namely government, community and environment. Pekon Wonodadi, Gadingrejo District is one of the leading villages in Pringsewu district, Lampung Province and has good potential in the economic field and has carried out village administration well. This condition makes it possible to transform Wonodadi into a Smart Village so that it can improve village functions and services for the community. One of the obstacles faced by Pekon Wonodadi becoming Smart Village is that the public service administration process is still not integrated into a system, so the services provided are still not optimal in terms of speed and accuracy of data. In addition, there is also a problem in the service file archiving process. In order to make Wonodadi becoming a smart village, mentoring activities and implementation of the Village Service Administration System (SIAP) were carried out where these activities correspond to the 2 elements of smart village, namely the government and the community. Evaluation of the activities was carried out by assessing the level of user acceptance of the SIAP application and it was found that the technology implemented could assist Wonodadi Village in improving the quality of service to the community and in the village administration process. This result is reflected in the survey results where 84% of the people feel that it is easier for them to get village services.

Complications after COVID-19, even in mild and moderate form, can be detected in children. Patients with chronic diseases are the most susceptible to the development of complications. The impact of COVID-19 on exacerbation of pyelonephritis and acute kidney injury (AKI) in children is not studied enough as yet. The authors present a clinical case observation of a COVID-19 complication in a 6 years old male patient with spinal neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in a form of areflex maladaptive bladder. Two weeks after the coronavirus infection the patient developed an exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis and AKI with an increase in creatinine, urea, and microalbuminuria levels. Continuous catheterization of the bladder, crystalloid infusions and antibiotic therapy coupled with Dipyridamole made it possible to stop the AKI manifestations within 10 days.

One of the rarest isolated congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries (CA) is left main coronary artery ostial atresia (LMCAOA). Clinical manifestations of this pathology vary from asymptomatic to severe coronarogenic myocardial injury and even sudden death, depending on the state of collateral blood flow, which provides retrograde filling of the left CA from the right CA. Acute coronary insufficiency in children often manifests in syncopal conditions. If a routine cardiological examination does not reveal any pathology, the child may mistakenly become a patient with the neurological department. In this regard, the clinical observation given in the article is instructive: when the stress test made it possible to suspect, then the CT angiography confirmed the left main coronary artery ostial atresia in a 6 years old male patient. Mammary coronary artery bypass grafting, further supplemented by stenting of the resulting narrowing of the anastomosis, has allowed to achieve a good clinical effect with a favorable 2-year follow-up.

Midureteral stenosis in children is very rare. The authors report about patients with this ureteral anomaly who have underwent surgery by the same surgeon, operated in different surgical clinics with focus on differences in preoperative diagnosis and treatment compared to other congenital obstructive uropathy. Materials and methods: the study presents the data about 5 patients diagnosed with congenital stenosis of the middle third of the ureter who have underwent surgery between January, 2017 and December, 2021. In the final part of the study the methods of preoperative examination, surgical parameters and results of postoperative observation were noted as well. Results: the midureteral stenosis was observed in 3 (60%) boys and 2 (40%) girls. The anomaly occurred on the left side in 3 (60%) patients and on the right side in 2 (40%) patients. 3 (60%) patients were under the age of 6 months old and 2 (40%) patients were under the age of 1 year old. Prior to the surgical intervention all patients have underwent ultrasonic examination of kidneys as well as multi-spiral computed urography. The diagnostic value of ultrasound was 80%, and of computed urography - 100%. All patients have undergone laparoscopic resection of the stenosis site coupled with anastomosis. The average duration of hospital stay was 5.0±0.7 days (5.0 [4.5; 5.5] days as median). The average duration of follow-up was 30.6±22.5 months (30.0 [9.0; 52.5] months as median). The urinary tract obstruction was stopped without long-term complications in all patients. Conclusion: the midureteral stenosis in children is a rare disease. Its treatment mainly consists of resection of the stenotic segment followed by the imposition of an end-to-end type of ureteral anastomosis with favorable prognosis.

The continuation of the pandemic due to the mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the increase in the incidence of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in children coupled with the intensification of severity make it necessary to continue studying of this infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of influence of a modern inorganic, non-selective, multifunctional enterosorbent based on highly dispersed silica with particle sizes up to 0.09 mm, with the chemical formula SiO2, “Polisorb MP,” on the dynamics of clinical and laboratory manifestations of intoxication and diarrhea syndromes in children with SARS-CoV-2 and acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) in the acute period of the disease. Materials and methods: the retrospective cohort study included 200 children aged 1 to 14 years old who were treated from Jan. 01, 2021 till Aug. 31, 2021 at the Tomsk Oblast Regional Children's Infectious Diseases Hospital named after G.E. Sibirtsev (Tomsk, Russia), of which 100 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 (Group 1), and another 100 with ARVI (Group 2). The COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed by the rRT-PCR Test detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal/oropharyngeal swabs and feces. Both groups did not differ statistically significantly by the gender (p=0.063). Results: the clinical signs corresponding to those in ARVI, but differed in the frequency of occurrence, were detected in patients with COVID-19; the statistically insignificant prevalence of upper respiratory tract lesions and mild form of the disease (71% in patients with COVID-19, and 73% in patients with ARVI, p=0.753) in the absence of specific symptoms of anosmia and dysgeusia was found. The mild gastrointestinal syndrome was observed in 37% of children in the Group 1 and in 28% of the Group 2 (p=0.175). There were no statistically significant changes in laboratory parameters found. The inorganic nonselective multifunctional enterosorbent “Polisorb MP” reduced the duration of diarrhea and intoxication by 1 to 1.5 days in both groups. Conclusion: the use of the “Polisorb MP” drug reduces the duration of intoxication and the diarrhea syndromes and normalizes the general laboratory parameters. Confirmation of the clinical form of COVID-19 requires a mandatory laboratory examination to determine the etiological significance of SARS-CoV-2 in each patient.
Učinkovitost neoperacijske dekompresijske strojne trakcije na radikularne sindrome
Authors: Nado Bernard
Published: July 2022

Uvod: Radikulopatije ili poremećaji korjenova spinalnih živaca nastaju najučestalije zbog kroničnog pritiska na korijen spinalnog živca. Prema dostupnim istraživanjima, prevalencija je cervikalnih radikulopatija 1,14 % za muškarce te 1,31 % za žene. Prevalencija lumbalnih radikulopatija u populaciji je između 3 i 5 %. Dekompresijska strojna terapija rehabilitacijski je modalitet koji bi prema pretpostavljenom mehanizmu djelovanja trebao biti učinkovit i funkcionalan kod radikulopatskih sindroma.Cilj Istraživanja: Cilj ovog preglednog rada jest pronaći te prikazati rezultate najnovijih istraživanja na polju učinkovitosti strojne dekompresijske terapije (SDT) kod radikularnih sindroma.Metodologija: Napravljena je pretraga baza podataka PubMed (Medline) i PEDro zaključno s 27. veljače 2021. Obrada podataka napravljena je kvalitativnom analizom te je sveukupno na kraju selektirano 13 istraživanja.Rezultati istraživanja i Diskusija: Sveukupno je selektirano 13 istraživanja, od kojih je osam metaanaliza te pet RCT-a. Kvaliteta dokaza prisutna u tim istraživanjima izrazito je različita te su neki rezultati kontradiktorni. Najučestalija pogreška u analiziranim RCT-ima jest nedostatak kontrolne grupe i mali uzorak ispitanika. SDT u kombinaciji s drugim modalitetima može smanjiti bolne simptome radikulopatije te smanjiti disfunkciju i povećati mobilnost. SDT je samostalno učinkovit kod regresije lumbalne hernijacije. Učinkovitost SDT-a statistički je značajna, ali nije klinički relevantna na smanjenje bolnosti.Zaključak: Prisutna je izrazito velika varijabilnost kod vrsta trakcijske sile, ritma, trajanja tretmana te učestalosti tretmana. Potrebno je odrediti na koje je ispitanike potrebno primijeniti SDT. Kao buduću nadogradnju smjera istraživanja trebalo bi obratiti pozornost standardizaciji, kvalifikaciji i kvantifikaciji protokola (SDT).

Atopijski dermatitis je kronično recidivirajuća upala kože koja je karakteristična za dječju dob iako oboljeti mogu i odrasle osobe. Prema brojnim istraživanjima broj oboljelih je u porastu na globalnoj razini. Iako se distribucija i oblik promjena razlikuju ovisno o dobi bolesnika, vodeći i dominantni simptom bolesti je svrbež i suhoća kože uz značajno narušenu kvalitetu života. Bolest je složene etiologije te uz postojanje genetske predispozicije početku bolesti obično doprinosi djelovanje raznih okolišnih faktora. Osobama s pozitivnom osobnomili obiteljskom anamnezom atopijskog dermatitisa ili drugih alergijskih bolesti preporučuje se izbjegavanje faktora rizika na koje se može utjecati kao što su potpuno izbacivanje iz prehrane namirnica na koje je dokazana alergija, potpuno izbjegavanje pušenja (aktivnog i pasivnog) te racionalna upotreba antibiotika u ranom periodu života. Također, savjetuje se samopraćenje tijeka bolesti kako bi se uspješno identificirali ostali faktori na koje bolest reagira čime možemo doprinijeti kontroli pojave i tijeka bolesti.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPurpose: To investigate the relationship between anterior chamber angle (ACA) measurement, intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive status of the eye in a young adult population with good ocular health.Methods: Autorefractor (AR) captured data on corneal curvature and refractive errors in group participants and enabled comparison across refractive groups, gender, and age. Refractive errors were calculated in diopters as the spherical equivalent (SE). IOP was taken by Pulsar non-contact tonometer. All patients underwent the same optometric examinations of anterior eye data on corneal curvature, anterior chamber angle and corneal thickness captured with Topcon Maestro optical coherence tomography (OCT). Slit lamp was used for Van Herick method.Results: Measurements were obtained from 118 eyes (right), of 26 males and 92 females aged 19–40 years with no ocular disease. There was no significant change Relationship between anterior chamber angle, IOP, corneal curvature and refractive status in young Caucasian adults in ocular profile across age range or by sex, apart from slightly steeper corneal profile for females (p=0.03). There was no significant correlation between IOP and ACA (p> 0.05), nor IOP and SE (p>0.05); however, when those with hyperopic SE were examined separately, there was a significant decrease in IOP with higher levels of hyperopic SE (p <0.05).Conclusion: This study reports mean values for ACA were 39,39°, which gives a value of the open anterior chamber angle in young Caucasian adults. There was no significant relation between IOP, ACA or SE in the sample of young adults. However, higher level of hyperopic SE has a significant decrease in IOP and should be further investigated due to small sample of hyperopic subjects.
Odnos subjektivne kvalitete života i samoprocijenjenog zdravlja
Authors: Vuletić Gorka
Published: July 2022

Uvod: Danas je prepoznata važnost zdravlja za ukupnu kvalitetu života, kako pojedinca tako i skupine. Može se reći da je utjecaj oštećenog zdravlja i bolesti na kvalitetu života multidimenzionalan. Bolest ne samo da utječe u smislu fizičkih simptoma i time limitira funkcioniranje nego su tu prisutni i indirektni efekti kao što su promjene u radnoj sposobnosti, potencijalna izolacija, povećanje ovisnosti o drugima te negativna emocionalna stanja kao reakcije na bolest. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost subjektivne kvalitete života i samoprocijenjenog zdravlja te istražiti sociodemografske i zdravstvene prediktore subjektivne kvalitete života.Metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 357 odraslih sudionika, od toga 26,1 % muškarca i 73,9 % žena. Raspon dobi kretao se od 18 do 77 godina (M = 33,5, SD = 13,94). Indeks osobne kvalitete života (engl. Personal Wellbeing Index – PWI) primijenjen je za mjerenje subjektivne kvalitete života, a za multidimenzionalnu samoprocjenu zdravlja primijenjen je Upitnik zdravstvenog statusa SF-36.Rezultati: Srednja vrijednost ukupne subjektivne kvalitete života iznosi 71,17 %SM i nalazi se u okviru teorijski očekivanoga normativnog raspona. Viša dob povezana je s nižom kvalitetom života. Međutim, treba naglasiti da je riječ o vrlo niskoj korelaciji. Samoprocijenjeni materijalni status u pozitivnoj je korelaciji s kvalitetom života i sve su dimenzije SF-36 upitnika osim dimenzije fizičko funkcioniranje značajno povezane sa subjektivnom kvalitetom života. Po pitanju prediktora kvalitete života najznačajnijom se pokazala dimenzija mentalno zdravlje, potom percepcija općeg zdravlja i bolovi.Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje pridonosi razumijevanju čimbenika koji pridonose kvaliteti života u općoj populaciji. Rezultati ukazuju na važnost psiholoških i zdravstvenih čimbenika (posebice mentalnog zdravlja) na ukupnu kvalitetu života pojedinca te posljedično i na važnost održavanja i unaprjeđenja mentalnog zdravlja i psiholoških čimbenika u svrhu poboljšavanja opće kvalitete života pojedinaca te u konačnici stvaranja sretnijeg i funkcionalnijeg društva u cjelini.

Published: July 2022

Desa memiliki peranan penting dalam menunjang tersedianya segala keperluan warga. Salah satu kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh desa adalah memberikan informasi terbaru mengenai kegiatan desa kepada warga. Penyampaian informasi dilakukan melalui papan pengumuman di depan balai desa, surat menyurat atau menggunakan suara speaker dari balai desa. Informasi yang diberikan diantaranya pengobatan gratis, pembagian raskin, info panen dan kegiatan lain yang ada di desa. Kendala yang muncul dalam kegiatan memberikan informasi kepada warga adalah informasi yang ditempel di papan pengumuman tidak diketahui oleh semua warga, sedangkan pemberitahuan melalui surat menyurat kepada warga dirasa kurang efektif dan membutuhkan waktu yang lama, banyaknya jumlah warga dan banyaknya informasi yang harus diberikan menyebabkan pihak petugas desa kewalahan dalam memberikan informasi kepada warga. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, maka perlu diadakan pelatihan teknologi informasi berbasis online untuk mendukung distribusi informasi dan sarana aduan masyarakat di desa.

Published: July 2022

The study aims at discovering the description of problem-solving skills of students in Math based on spatial intelligence in grade VIII at SMPN 3 Pallangga. This type of study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were 6 students who were divided into 3 groups, namely 2 subjects with high spatial skills, 2 subjects with moderate spatial skills, and 2 subjects with low spatial skills in grade VIIIC at SMPN 3 Pallangga. The research instruments were the researcher herself as the main instrument and a test of spatial intelligence, the test of problem-solving skills, a guided interview, and a validation sheet as the supporting instruments. The data collecting method employed a written test and interview. The data analysis was conducted by employing data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The data validity employed a source triangulation. Through the qualitative data analysis, the researcher discovered that the Math problem-solving skills of students with high spatial intelligence understood the problem by using spatial visualization skills, spatial perception, and mental rotation, as well as able to solve the problem by fulfilling Polya's four steps correctly. The Math problem-solving skills of students with moderate spatial intelligence understood the problems by using spatial visualization skills and spatial perception and were able to solve the problem by fulfilling Polya's two steps only, as well as being unable to plan the solution and rechecking. The Math problem-solving skills of students with low spatial intelligence still have difficulties using their spatial skills so they are unable to solve the problem given correctly.
CONTENT ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' ARGUMENTS BASED ON MATHEMATICAL LITERACY AND CREATION ABILITY
Authors:   Universitas Negeri Makassar
Published: July 2022

This study aims to show the content of students' argumentation in building their creative reasoning and the relationship between argumentation content and students' mathematical literacy skills. The type of research applied is descriptive qualitative research involving 27 junior high school students in Toli-Toli City, Central Sulawesi. The research instrument used was a like-mathematical literacy test and an assessment rubric. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis which was used to analyze text data. The results of the research show that 1) The content of students' arguments in building their creative reasoning is supported by using simple statements, complex statements, completed by syntax or no syntax in building mathematical arguments, and 2) the ability of students to show their argumentation in the problem solving is the level of their capacity to interpret and to represent their knowledge and learning experience related with the problem. The breadth and depth of content of students' mathematical literacy give them the flexibility to argue. Students' mathematical literacy ability by simply giving simple statements has a different breadth and depth than those who are able to give complex statements. Likewise with the shrewdness of using syntax in constructing problem-solving plans.

Published: July 2022

This study has the aim of knowing the development of problem solving abilities before and after the implementation of each model and knowing whether or not there are differences in problem solving abilities between the models in the experimental class 1 and experimental class 2. The approach used in this study is quantitative with a quasi design. experimental. The sampling technique was purposive sampling and class X IPS 2 was taken as the experimental class 1 which was given the PBL model with index card match. Meanwhile, class X IPS 3 as experimental class 2 was given a PBL model with think pair share. The results of the analysis in this study obtained conclusions including: 1) experimental class 1 there was a significant development of problem solving ability in the results before and after giving the model, 2) experimental class 2 there was a significant development of problem solving ability in the results before and after giving the model, 3) there is no significant difference in problem solving ability between experimental class 1 and experiment 2. Thus it can be concluded that the two models are equally able to improve students' problem solving abilities.
Rise: Emergent Strategies for Reclaiming Joy and Agency Against Neofascist and White Supremacist Assaultive Speech
Authors: Lewis Tyson E. , Krahe Amanda E.
Published: July 2022

Since the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, there has been an uptick in the number of faculty reporting that they have been the subjects of harassment and intimidation by organizations and individuals espousing views consistent with ideologies of the alt-right, neofascism, and global White supremacy. In this new virulent environment, verbal assaults and threats of violence against progressive scholars are increasingly common, particularly in the case of women academics, minoritized professors, and those whose writing deals critically with racism and other forms of supremacy. This essay, informed by critical race theory, presents a phenomenological narrative and critical analysis of actual events in which an art education scholar was the target of assaultive speech and threatened physical harm following the publication of a book chapter critical of Whiteness. Understanding assaultive speech as an attempt to replace joy with affects of fear, paranoia, and hate, the authors examine the events that occurred in the course of performing one’s duties as teachers, researchers, or concerned citizen-scholars, in detail to reveal (a) the overarching structure and life cycle of these all-too-common attacks and (b) how they affect the targeted person’s mindbody. This combination of structural and embodied forms of knowledge can inspire new liberatory projects as a part of an emergent strategy for scholars, teachers, and activists interested in justice, critical pedagogy, or transformative practices to rise and reclaim joy and agency in troubled times.
Disrupting the Colonial Globe and Engaging in Border Thinking: An Art Educator’s Critical Analysis and Reflection on (de)Colonial Discourses in Global Art Narratives
Authors: Yoon Injeong
Published: July 2022

This essay attempts to problematize the fixed and bounded notion of culture in global narratives and deconstruct the practices of knowing the Other through the lens of border thinking. In order to challenge the colonial apparatus of classification, I first demystify the static notion of national identity through an example of the ideological formation of Koreanness in Dansaekhwa, the monochrome painting in Korea, in the context of global art. The first section includes my reflective narrative in light of the discussions of representation, Othering, and positionality. This section also addresses the issue of speaking about and for the Other, and how it contributes to the colonial discourse through the network of representation and interpretation. The second section addresses decolonial aspects of Lee Bul’s works and their connection to decolonial aestheSis. In the last section, I make a few suggestions regarding what art educators might consider in order to move beyond the colonial discourse in global narratives. The suggestions include critical reflexivity in the works of representation and the importance of border thinking to imagine decoloniality and to claim for subaltern perspectives.
Organizing for Arts-Based Social Action in the Helping Professions
Authors: Moxley David P. , Feen Holly
Published: July 2022

The authors identify three kinds of organizations for linking arts, social action, and the provision of helping to people who are marginalized or who experience oppression within dominant cultures. Those organizations involve the development of artists who often possess marginalized status, those that link the arts and social action, particularly for protest, and ones producing innovations in social arrangements, helping processes, and/or group support. What they hold in common is the incorporation of the arts to advance the human spirit in the face of societal oppression. For each kind of organization, the authors offer distinctive ways of viewing their cultures that integrate the arts and social action, especially through the production and communication of dissent at individual, group, and/or community levels. The authors highlight how the organizations can reflect counter movements within society in which the arts amplify voice and agency of organizational members who may work in concert to deploy the arts as a tool of social action. Through the incorporation of the arts to represent utopian or dystopian conditions, the organizations can challenge society with ways of embracing human differences, particularly by offering aesthetic visions of human vitality, demonstrating alternative cultures of social support, building prototypes of social innovation, and nurturing the human spirit of people whom mainstream society can degrade through neglect or even abuse.
“Don’t Judge me. What would you do?” Dialogue through a youth-made film
Authors: Ryoo Anna , Lin Ching-Chiu , Grauer Kit
Published: July 2022

This visual essay focuses on the ways in which a 17-year-old First Nations filmmaker engages with complex issues of identity and belonging through his short film. Through a narrative analysis of the film along with the participant’s reflection, we highlight some of the complexities of youth-made media as well as how digital-mediated arts practices can carve out space for youth who feel marginalized in traditional institutional contexts. The educational value of film, as a form of digital media, allows both producers and viewers to engage in dialogue with the perspectives of people from different cultures and social classes.
Never a Dull Moment: Pat’s Babershop as Educational Environment, Hypertext, and Place
Authors: Carpenter B. Stephen
Published: July 2022

Art education is often justified as a means of helping students make sense of themselves and their world through the study of works of art and visual culture. Within everyday aestheticized social spaces, such as amusement parks, restaurants, malls, and barbershops, are embedded educationally meaningful opportunities of cultural, social, philosophical, and aesthetic significance. This article describes a barbershop as a multisensory; socially constructed educational environment. The barbershop is valuable to art education because it is simultaneously a hypertextual curriculum metaphor, an example of visual culture, and a socially constructed place that offers lessons about spirituality community, ritual and the meaningful examination of everyday life. As a site of social discourse, interpretation, and cultural commentary, the barbershop-as-hypertext offers points of entry into important life lessons not taught in school. In conclusion, the benefits of constructing an artroom as a social environment similar to that of a barbershop are considered.

Published: July 2022

The successful implementation of the robot teleoperation system has greatly improved the ability of remote robots. The force feedback technology is applied to the teleoperation system. On the one hand, the main operator manipulates the operator’s related movement information to the target robot; on the other hand, the main hand feeds back the force situation of the target robot in the remote control to the operator. From the robot under the control of the system can more accurately complete the task, with a higher work efficiency. Teleoperation system with force feedback function generally adopts bilateral control, the master and slave end of the system have a certain delay in the transmission process, it makes the stability of the system destroyed. This paper uses a two-port network to simulate the communications link of the teleoperation system as a lossless transmission line, solves the stability problem of teleoperation systems with force feedback in the presence of time delay effectively. Experimental simulation results show that this method can guarantee a higher stability of the system..

This study compared the reference intervals (RI) of B12 vitamin concentration in blood found in the literature with RIs extracted from data accumulated from a large number of patients by E. Gulbis Laboratory in Latvia. This paper investigated and demonstrated the possibility of using large amounts of random patient data to establish the RI for clinical laboratory tests. The blood level of B12 vitamin was selected as the model system for this study. The study used blind data for B12 blood level measurements from 132 379 patients accumulated in E. Gulbis Laboratory over a period of 15 years. In order to establish the reference intervals, the frequency distribution of log transformed B12 values was fit to a Gaussian distribution. The established B12 reference interval of 196 pg/ml and 942 pg/ml was found to be in good agreement with RIs reported elsewhere.

Sustainability is one of the global key trends amplified by the Covid-19 pandemic. The main economic players took action in setting the sustainability goals in their organizations and bringing sustainability at the top of their priorities. Sustainability is now at the beginning of all innovation and development processes. The way sustainability is understood by all involved actors will drive the success of the sustainability projects. From the last study we have conducted, one of the most important conclusion was the fact that as long as consumers are educated and informed about sustainability measures they are open to get involved and are enough motivated to take action. The main goals are compelled by authorities and underlined by NGOs, implemented and adopted by the economic environment, the producers and the retailers or trade channels. Their task is to set the main measures for implementing the proper sustainability related projects, so they should be called drivers in the communication process of sustainability and the consumers could follow, becoming the followers in this important task. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main players of the sustainability communication process, to find a way they could act together and to design an original model for communicating sustainability. The model could be used by the main sustainability players in order to find a common ground, for creating motivation and setting the main objectives and measures for reaching the sustainability goal
