Authors: Devlikamova F.I. , Rogojin A.A.
Published: May 2024

Sufficient amount of experimental data suggests usage of botulinum toxin type A in the treat-ment of myofascial pain, but there are still not enough data about clinical efficacy and long term neurophysiologic changes. We studied 12 patients younger 50 with active MTP in upper trapezi-us. Injections of of BTA were done in each MTP. Standard concentric needle EMG and single fiber EMG was done in the area of MTP before injection, one week and 1, 4, and 12 months af-ter. MUP duration was decreased and MUP duration histogram was moved to the left one month after injection. 4 months after injection recovery of MUP parameters was observed. One year af-ter injections MUP parameters didn’t differ from basic. Therefore our investigation demonstrated changes of EMG parameters in MTP after BTA injection.

Authors: Mahmoudvand Mohsen , Zahrakar Kianoush , Hasani Jafar
Published: May 2024

Objective: The primary goal of this study was to present a forgiveness model based on childhood maltreatment and attachment styles, with the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in betrayal victims. Methods: This descriptive correlational study involved betrayal victims who had sought counseling in Tehran in 2022, with a sample of 653 individuals selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used included Bernstein et al.'s (2003) Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Hazan and Shaver's (1987) Attachment Style Questionnaire, Young's (1999) Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire, and the Forgiveness Questionnaire by Ray et al. (2001). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 24. Findings: The results indicated a negative relationship between childhood maltreatment, insecure attachment styles, and early maladaptive schemas with forgiveness, while secure attachment showed a positive relationship with forgiveness. Furthermore, the results suggested that early maladaptive schemas mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment, attachment styles, and forgiveness in betrayal victims. Conclusion: Overall, the results indicated that the evaluated structural model was well-fitted, and the findings could assist therapists and counselors in better understanding the forgiveness process in betrayal victims.

THE STUDY OF RISK FACTOR AND STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION OF RECURRENT ISCHEMIC STROKE :A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Ibni Rizal Ibnu , Octaviantie Ghiffany
Published: May 2024

Background: Studies show that the majority of strokes are caused by modifiable risk factors, such as high-fat diets, sleep apnea, diabetes, heart disorders, and other diseases. Recurrence rates are higher in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where strokes occur in the fourth or fifth decades of life. To reduce the risk of stroke recurrence and death, individuals who have survived their first stroke must undergo regular medical follow-up. Understanding the risk factors for stroke recurrence can help create plans and treatments to lessen the burden of strokes. Regular medical follow-up and understanding these risk factors can help create effective treatments and plans to reduce stroke recurrence.
Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024, adhering to PRISMA 2020 principles. Without a DOI, editorials and review papers that were published in the same journal as the submission were not accepted. ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SagePub were among the many web resources used to compile the literature.
Result: Using reliable resources including Science Direct, SagePub, and PubMed, the study examined over 7,000 publications. Following the determination that seven publications warranted a further inquiry, a more thorough examination of the full corpus was conducted.
Conclusion: Risk factors such as hypertension, alcohol consumption, diabetes, female gender, non-adherence to treatment, and cardiac causes contribute to high stroke recurrence rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Treatment effectiveness varies among ethnic groups, with DAPT being effective in patients with ICAD. Statin-based therapies reduce recurrent stroke risk but increase hemorrhagic stroke risk. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in brain development.

Published: May 2024

By the end of 2023, the Chinese government had successively issued a series of guiding policies emphasizing the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture and its integration into people's daily lives. Against the backdrop of short videos saturating people's everyday lives, health science popularization short videos have gradually become an important channel for people to obtain information, thereby providing opportunities for the promotion of TCM health culture. This study takes users of short videos on TCM health in Wuhan as the research object, and constructs a theoretical model of the influencing factors of user sharing behavior based on user attention, usage, expectations, and sharing behavior, combined with the technology acceptance and information adoption models. A series of hypotheses were proposed. A total of 188 valid questionnaires were collected through on-site surveys, and data statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0. The empirical results show that the middle-aged group aged 22-45 exhibits the most active usage and sharing behavior towards short videos on TCM health. Users' perception of usefulness, ease of use, source credibility, and video quality of short videos on TCM health all significantly influence their information adoption, and information adoption significantly influences users' sharing behavior. Based on the discussion of the results, it is suggested to promote user sharing behavior of short videos on TCM health by improving users' perception of usefulness and ease of use of the videos, encouraging the creation of high-quality videos by users through policy support, and standardizing the credibility of video sources, thereby providing suggestions for the development of TCM culture in Wuhan and promoting the construction of health culture in China.

The amenorrhoea is the normal physiological feature in prepubertal girls, failure to commence menstruation is primary amenorrhea. A normal uterovaginal anatomy and functional hypothalamic pituitary ovarian (HPO) axis is essential for menstruation. The detailed relevant medical and family history along with thorough physical examination adds in for requesting relevant investigations to find out the cause. In the absence of secondary sexual characteristics, hormonal disturbances are the most likely cause while anatomical problems are more common in the presence of secondary sexual characteristics, along with physiological delays and endocrinopathies. Investigate primary amenorrhoea without secondary sexual development at 13 years and with secondary sexual development at 15 years of age, consider early referral if suspicion of chromosomal abnormality, hyperandrogenemia, anatomical abnormalities or primary amenorrhoea persists for five years after thelarche. The multidisciplinary team approach, to support patient and parents with evidence base knowledge for decision-making is the corner stone. It is important to address patient and their family needs, individually for the best outcome.

Published: May 2024

Bone cancer that has metastasized can be detected through a bone fingerprint examination, which involves the injection of tc-99m with the pharmaceutical Methylene Diphosphate (MDP). Bone prints are often used to trigger possible metastases of cancer to the bone, which is a major health problem for women worldwide. This study aims to activate the described organ uptake and residual radiopharmaceuticals in bone prints using the Region of Interest (ROI) method. The research was conducted on five datasets of patients with breast cancer. The patient received an intravenous injection of tc-99m MDP and, three hours later, underwent a bone fingerprint examination with a gamma camera. The image results from the gamma camera were processed using the ROI technique and analyzed further using statistical methods. The research findings showed that the five patients experienced an average reduction in residual radiopharmaceuticals of 2.965945119 mCi. Several factors, such as examination time, radiopharmaceutical dose, and body metabolism, influence the decay of radioactive activity in the body. The calculation of the absorption percentage for the five patients showed variations between 0.190070697% and 0.3510157519%

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to use quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR)-based machine learning (ML) to examine the corrosion inhibition capabilities of benzimidazole compounds. The primary difficulty in ML development is creating a model with a high degree of precision so that the predictions are correct and pertinent to the material's actual attributes. We assess the comparison between the extra trees regressor (EXT) as an ensemble model and the decision tree regressor (DT) as a basic model. It was discovered that the EXT model had better predictive performance in predicting the corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazole compounds based on the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) metrics compared DT model. This method provides a fresh viewpoint on the capacity of ML models to forecast potent corrosion inhibitors.

Published: May 2024

This study investigates machine learning-based quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models for predicting the thermal stability of zinc metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOF). Utilizing a dataset comprising 151 Zn-MOF compounds with relevant molecular descriptors, ridge (R) and kernel ridge (KR) regression models were developed and evaluated. The results demonstrate that the R model outperforms the KR model in terms of prediction accuracy, with the R model exhibiting exceptional performance (R² = 0.999, RMSE = 0.0022). While achieving high accuracy, opportunities for further improvement exist through hyperparameter optimization and exploration of polynomial functions. This research underscores the potential of ML-based QSPR models in predicting the thermal stability of Zn-MOF compounds and highlights avenues for future investigation to enhance model accuracy and applicability in materials science.

Keberhasilan dan kegagalan suatu proses pendidikan Islam secara umum dapat dinilai dari out-put-nya, yakni orang-orang sebagai produk pendidikan Islam. Jika Pendidikan Islam mengalami kegagalan dalam mengantarkan manusia kearah cita-cita manusiawi yang bersandar pada nilai-nilai ke-Tuhanan, maka yang akan terjadi adalah tumbuhnya prilaku-prilaku negatif dan destruktif, seperti kekerasan, ketidakpedulian sosial, dan lain sebagainya, yang semuanya itu mengakibatkan penderitaan semesta. Berbagai prilaku-prilaku destruktif tersebut, yang sering muncul dinegara Indonesia, merupakan akibat dari belum munculnya memiliki kesadaran. Pihak-pihak yang yang paling memegang kunci dan mempunyai peran utama dalam memupuk dan membangun kesadaran generasi penerus bangsa adalah; orang tua melalui lembaga keluarga,masyarakat dengan pengawasannya, sekolah dengan seluruh elemenya dan pemerintah dengan kebijakan dan keteladannya.Pihak-pihak ini harus mempunyai kesamaan dasar pandang, koordinasi, singkronisasi serta saling bahu membahu dalam membangun kesadaran generasi penerus bangsa.

Published: May 2024

Given that the problems associated with waste pollution can result in air pollution and even natural disasters, waste pollution is an intriguing topic to examine. According to a number of estimates, Indonesia will produce 67 tons of waste in 2020, and this amount would likely rise annually. In order to prevent and develop students' environmentally caring character from an early age, it is necessary to create an environmental awareness formation program in the secondary school environment. This problem arises from a lack of public awareness and concern for the surrounding environment. To take this preventive action, SMP Dharma Pancasila Medan established the LISA (Lihat Sampah Ambil) initiative. This application was made based on the ideas of the PPKn teacher at the school. The LISA program has been running for one year at Dharma Pancasila Middle School in Medan. The implementation of the LISA program at Dharma Pancasila Middle School in Medan received positive results, although at the beginning of the implementation of this program there were several common problems that arose from students and teachers at the school. However, within one year of implementing the LISA program, the environment at Dharma Pancasila Middle School is now much cleaner than before, and there is no longer any rubbish scattered around the school environment.
Mirroring Atticus: A Text-Complexity Circle Highlights Unconventional Heroes
Authors: Griffith Jason
Published: May 2024

This article outlines the arrangement of a text circle in an eighth-grade English language arts class around the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The author first provides rationale for examining Atticus Finch as a non-traditional hero for his going against the status quo despite consequence to do what's right. The author then establishes that mirror neurons allow student readers to experience literature and emotionally put themselves into situations they might not otherwise experience; and therefore, Atticus is worthy of direct character study. Ancillary texts to support Atticus' heroic example are shared, including the films Gandhi, High Noon, and 12 Angry Men as well as the song "I Won't Back Down.â€ Finally, excerpts from student responses comparing and contrasting characters in the various texts demonstrate a deeper understanding of the fulcrum text (To Kill a Mockingbird) as well as personal thematic connection by students.
Dealing with Death in Life and Literature
Authors: McNemee Deborah
Published: May 2024

As teachers of English, we cannot escape exposing our students to emotional triggers in the classroom. When my studentâ€™s father (a former classmate of mine) died by suicide, I found myself struggling with the ever-present emotional trigger of death and/or suicide in every major literary work scheduled for study that year. Death is unavoidable. Reading about death is also, apparently, unavoidable, but I was not convinced that violent death deserved so much of our literary attention, especially for this young man whose pain was raw and new.

Putting together a pithy summary of Deb Calettiâ€™s 2018 YA novel A Heart in a Body in the World is difficult, because the premiseâ€”a high school senior running cross country from Seattle to D.C. after a tragedyâ€”completely fails to capture the reason you should read this novel. Yes, the physical feats are interesting, and our protagonistâ€™s youth plays an important role in her journey, but the reason you have to read A Heart in a Body in the World? No other book, for me, has so viscerally captured the experience of recovering from trauma.

Supporting Students and Their Emerging Sense of Self (with poetry by Phan)
Authors: Bader Jenni
Published: May 2024

As a newly minted teacher, I have begun to look back with fresh appreciation for my year of student teaching and the many people who helped shape and inform my ideas about education. Among those who left their impression on me is one student, Phan, who expanded my vision for the English classroom as a safe place to express and reflect. From this student I learned that a teacher can support by listening without judgment even when she or he does not fully understand.
Stepping into the Margins: The Art of Teacher(less) Composing
Authors: Donovan Sarah
Published: May 2024

A junior high teacher designed a writing class around freewriting with a series of routines that emphasize writer agency and a culture of support. This article chronicles how one teacher learned to believe in the value of freewriting as the core curriculum of her writing class. The author presents practices that evolved from Peter Elbowâ€™s conception of freewriting, writing-related artifacts that support the development of a writing identity, and what a semester of freewriting suggests about the role of the teacher in a writing class.
For Every One by Jason Reynolds
Authors: Arndt Spencer
Published: May 2024

Brought into the light during the grand opening of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in 2011, Jason Reynoldsâ€™s short speech For Every One, addresses the youth of this nationâ€”emphasizing the importance of pursuing oneâ€™s dreams. A speech, later transformed into a book in verse in 2018, serves as â€œA poem, A nod. A Nothing to Lose.â€ In a comforting yet inspirational tone, this heavy-hitting book looks to invigorate youth and provide the necessary fuel to pursue their wildest dreams. The back of the cover reads, â€œThis is for the courageous, and everyone who wants to be.â€ This book is brilliantly simple yet immediately empowering. For Every One. For every dream; for every person; for every child who wants to make their dreams come true.

Dyskurs w polskim społeczeństwie jako odpowiedź na komunikowanie polityczne Ministerstwa Zdrowia na temat COVID-19 za pomocą rządowych komunikatów
Authors: Lusińska Anna , Miłoszewska-Podrażka Ewa
Published: May 2024

Rządowe komunikowanie kampaniami wskazuje adresatom ścieżkę zachowań prospołecznych, starając się jednocześnie zniechęcić ich do zachowań społecznie destrukcyjnych. Dzięki nim poinformowana zbiorowość społeczna przeobraża się w zbiorowość świadomą, aktywną i chętną do zarówno indywidualnego, jak i zbiorowego działania w formie społecznego dyskursu. Podjęcie problemu badawczego artykułu spowodowane zostało widocznie zarysowaną, zwłaszcza w mediach społecznościowych, wysoką reaktywnością dyskusyjną polskiego społeczeństwa na komunikowanie polityczne Ministerstwa Zdrowia w Polsce za pośrednictwem informacyjnych kampanii społecznych w związku z sytuacją ogólnoświatowej pandemii COVID-19 wywołanej wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Celem artykułu uczyniono nie tylko ukazanie możliwości wykorzystywania kampanii społecznych w obszarze komunikowania politycznego, ale przede wszystkim zobrazowanie dyskursu polskiego społeczeństwa w mediach społecznościowych jako impulsywnej i emocjonalnej odpowiedzi na rządową nieumiejętność komunikowania kampaniami. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na błędy rządzących zauważone i podkreślone przez społeczeństwo w licznych komentarzach, wyłamujący się spod kontroli władzy.
A ideologia do capital e a mercantilização da educação no contexto neoliberal
Authors:   Átila de Menezes Lima,   Cristiane Ferreira de Souza França,   João Cesar Abreu de Oliveira Filho,   Lorena Ferreira de Souza Almeida
Published: May 2024

O volume VI da coletânea Diálogos Críticos é fruto de um imenso esforço coletivo e compromisso com a luta de classes. Ele apresenta um conjunto de artigos que proporcionam reflexões sobre a complexa relação entre crise e reestruturação do capital, bem como sua ampliação político-ideológica e econômica na educação, via processo de mercantilização no contexto neoliberal. O neoliberalismo é compreendido como resposta do capitalismo à crise estrutural, a qual impacta nas políticas educacionais brasileiras. Isso afeta desde o direito efetivo à educação por parte dos estudantes em todas as etapas de escolarização básica até a formação de professores nas Instituições de Ensino Superior do Brasil. Esse modelo consubstancia-se como uma veemente ameaça ao ensino público, laico, gratuito, de qualidade e socialmente referenciado, pois visa gradativamente transformá-lo em serviço, em detrimento do efetivo direito.
UNITY OF MIND, HEART AND BODY
Authors: Corner Creative
Published: May 2024

To the casual eye, the whirling ritual known as ‘sema’, may appear to be a theatrical performance, but it is actually a sacred Muslim religious ritual performed as part of praying by the Mevlevi Order. This order is about 750 years old, and is a living tradition based on the teachings of Rumi, also known as Mevlana, who is perhaps Turkey's most celebrated poet and second only to Hafiz in Iran. The Mevlevis or the “whirling dervishes, as they are called” due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of remembrance of “The Al Mighty.” Mevlevis believe that during the sema ritual, the soul is freed from its earthly bonds and able to continue its journey freely. The ritual of 'whirling' brings the Dervish into harmony with nature, while they thank and pray to “The Creator”. Sema brings together the three basic components of human nature: mind, heart, and body.
A Sentiment Analysis of Emergency Online Special Education after COVID Mass Vaccinations Started
Authors: Kozan Kadir , Ayvaz Serkan , Grimmet Kharon
Published: May 2024

This study examined people’s sentiments toward emergency online special education after mass vaccinations became available to determine whether people had positive, negative, or neutral sentiments towards emergency online special education. The results revealed that most tweets were positive and focused on special needs and special education during emergency online special education. Specifically, most tweets focused on special education, and they included a positive content with average daily sentiment scores never getting smaller than zero. Similarly, special need and special education turned out to be the most frequent expressions used, and topic modeling indicated that target tweets’ content focused on the needs of students with special exceptionalities. All these findings suggest that emergency online special education can be a viable alternative during times of crisis and availability of vaccinations at a larger scale may help to create a positive atmosphere thereby informing teacher education and special education research and practice.

The Centrality of Worship to Life and the Sabbath: Implications for Business
Authors: Cooper Marjorie J. , Caballero Jay
Published: May 2024

The primary mandate for humankind is worship, specified by God when he placed Adam in the garden. The Hebrew grammar and phrasing makes clear that Adam’s primary role is as a priest before God with the charge “to serve and to guard.” To emphasize the primacy of worship, God instituted the Sabbath as a day of “rest,” denoting a time for human beings to cease other activities and to focus exclusively on worshipping the Creator. In today’s world, business owners and managers in pursuit of bigger markets, increasing revenue streams, and greater profitability often ignore the mandate to observe a day exclusively dedicated to the worship of God. Yet, for Christian businesspeople — owners, managers, or workers — the act of honoring God through a dedicated day set aside for worship communicates a recognition of the supreme priority of obedience to that command.
Made for Man: One Professional’s Journey from Pharisaism to Freedom through Observing the Sabbath
Authors: Locke Larry
Published: May 2024

Is Sabbath still a relevant concept in the post-modern professional world? The author reflects on how his relationship with Sabbath observance evolved from Pharisaic avoidance to celebratory freedom over his professional career. Historical research, application, exploration, and family intervention all played a role in the journey. Not proselytizing for his views, the author simply holds himself out as one recipient of God’s blessing through keeping the Sabbath.
The Rest of Life: Rest, Play, Eating, Studying, Sex from a Kingdom Perspective by Ben Witherington III
Authors: Heintzman Paul
Published: May 2024

This book contains five essays on common weekly activities: rest, play, eating, scripture study, and sex. In “Is there a Sabbatical plan for Christians?” Witherington interacts with Tonstad’s (2009) The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day. Tonstad, a Seventh-Day Adventist, argues that Christians need to recover Sabbath observance. In contrast, Witherington concludes, that “the rest one has in Christ alleviates the need to maintain Mosaic ritual practices such as Sabbath observance … we still need rest and restoration, but this does not require keeping Sabbath” (pp. 29, 37). Tonstad and Witherington lie at the extremes of the spectrum on Sabbath observance. A more helpful and biblical approach is in between.
