Authors: Raza Muhammad Ahmad , Altaf Lamia , Mahrukh Fatima , Manazir Aroosa , Alam Muhammad Asad , Sarki Sajid Rasheed
Published: April 2024

Background: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a significant pediatric condition linked to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and can adversely affect a child's growth and development if not diagnosed promptly. Traditional diagnostic methods such as fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) offer high accuracy but involve radiation risks, which are particularly concerning in pediatric populations.
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of voiding vesicoureteral urosonography (VUS) with VCUG in the diagnosis of VUR in children, highlighting the advantages of a radiation-free method.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 208 renal ureteral units from 145 children diagnosed with VUR at the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital between July 2022 and September 2023. Patients underwent both VCUG and VUS. VUS utilized a SonoVue contrast agent, and the imaging involved real-time monitoring using a Super Sonic Imagine's Aixplorer V model with CEUS+ capability. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, focusing on the agreement between VUS and VCUG in diagnosing various grades of VUR.
Results: VUS accurately identified no reflux in 98 of 112 cases as confirmed by VCUG. In higher grades of reflux (III to V), VUS detected 24 of 32 cases for Grade III, 7 of 13 for Grade IV, and 10 of 13 for Grade V. The overall agreement analysis revealed substantial consistency between VUS and VCUG across all grades of VUR, demonstrating that VUS can effectively identify higher grades of reflux.
Conclusion: Voiding vesicoureteral urosonography is a viable and safer alternative to VCUG for the diagnosis of VUR in pediatric patients. It offers the benefits of being radiation-free, with high diagnostic accuracy, particularly in detecting severe cases of reflux. This study supports the increased adoption of VUS in clinical settings, especially for children, to reduce radiation exposure risks.

Authors: Rubab Hafiza Iqra , Ghani Hafiza Muriam , Wafa Hafiza Sara , Amon  , Nasir Muhammad Farid
Published: April 2024

Background: Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a condition that plagues many, causing an irresistible urge to move the legs, especially during periods of rest. This condition can be particularly challenging for pregnant women, impacting their sleep quality and overall well-being. Recognizing the need for effective, non-pharmacological interventions, this study delves into comparing the efficacy of two widely used therapies: stretching exercises and myofascial pain release (MPR).
Objective: The primary aim was to evaluate and compare the effects of stretching exercises and myofascial pain release on pain reduction and sleep quality improvement in antenatal RLS patients.
Methods: Conducted at the gynecology clinic of Khalid Farooqi Memorial Hospital, Hafizabad, this randomized clinical trial enlisted 22 participants, divided into control (n=11) and case (n=11) groups. The case group underwent stretching exercises coupled with infra-red therapy, while the control group received MPR and infra-red therapy. Both interventions were administered twice weekly for eight weeks. Outcomes were measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at baseline, 4th, and 8th weeks. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25, employing Shapiro-Wilk, repeated measure ANOVA, and one-way ANOVA tests.
Results: Initially, both groups exhibited moderate to severe symptoms. Post-treatment, significant improvements were noted. After 8 weeks of treatment, the study revealed that pregnant women with antenatal restless leg syndrome (RLS) responded better to stretching exercises (Group A) than to myofascial pain release (Group B). Initially, participants in both groups experienced moderate to severe pain and poor sleep quality. By the end of the study, Group A demonstrated significant improvement, with 9 out of 11 participants experiencing minimal pain and 8 out of 11 reporting greatly enhanced sleep quality. While Group B also improved, the results were less significant. This underscores the potential of stretching exercises as a more effective intervention for reducing pain and improving sleep in antenatal RLS.
Conclusion: Stretching exercises were found to be more effective than myofascial pain release in reducing pain and improving sleep quality among antenatal RLS patients. Given these findings, healthcare professionals are encouraged to consider stretching exercises as a preferred intervention for RLS symptoms during pregnancy.

Authors: Wang Wanting , Luo Yudie , Yang Xuming
Published: April 2024

In fresh supermarkets, the shelf life of general vegetable products is relatively short, and the quality deteriorates with the increase of sales time, and most varieties cannot be sold the next day if they are not sold on the same day. However, due to the fact that the vegetables sold by fresh supermarkets often have a wide variety and different origins, merchants need to make replenishment decisions for each vegetable category on the same day without accurately judging the specific single product and purchase price, and the reliability of market demand analysis is very important for supermarkets to make correct replenishment and pricing decisions. Based on the relevant data of sales details and wholesale prices of six vegetable commodities operated by a supermarket from 2020 to 2023, this paper uses Fourier series and Gaussian function to predict the sales volume of vegetable single products, clarifies the relationship between supermarket revenue and the pricing and replenishment quantity of vegetable products based on multiple linear regression theory, and establishes a pricing strategy model based on simulated annealing algorithm and SVR. On the premise of trying to meet the market's demand for various categories of vegetable products, the supermarket will make the maximum profit, so as to help the supermarket further formulate the pricing and replenishment plan of a single product.

Authors: Li Shangshang , Wang Shiyu , Mao Yuxuan
Published: April 2024

In the context of increasing device switching frequencies year by year, non-ideal factors such as dead-zone effects in inverters not only cause output waveform distortion, but also generate harmonics that make the interaction between inverters and power grids more complex. In order to accurately describe and analyze this phenomenon and establish a more practical grid-connected inverter model, this paper proposes and establishes a three-phase LCL grid-connected inverter harmonic state space model that considers dead-zone effects. By incorporating dead-zone effects into the modeling process, the system transfer function matrix is derived to quantify the harmonic interaction coefficient between the inverter and the power grid, and the influence mechanism of dead-zone effects on the harmonic interaction process at high switching frequencies is analyzed in depth. The necessity of considering dead-zone effects is illustrated through simulation, and the effectiveness and accuracy of the inverter HSS model considering the effects of dead-zone effects are verified through experiments.

Все это позволяет добиться личностного и профессионального роста педагога, оптимизировать его текущую деятельность и общение внутри коллектива. Формулируется вывод о том, формирование мотивации у учителей иностранного языка является ключевым фактором в образовательном процессе, а признание значимости этого процесса открывает возможности для развития образовательной среды и повышения качества обучения. Одновременно с этим, для эффективности данного процесса объективной необходимостью является выполнение тех условий, которые прописаны в данном исследовании, так как в отсутствие данных структурных элементов едва ли можно говорить о повышении профессиональной мотивации педагога.

this article examines the role of motivation in carrying out one’s own professional activities. It is noted that to increase the motivation of foreign language teachers, support from the teaching staff and the presence of interaction within it are of particular importance. In addition, the importance of interaction is seen in the fact that this way the teacher feels like part of a team moving towards a common goal, and gets opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences. Professional motivation is actively promoted by recognition of the teacher’s achievements, constructive criticism and feedback. All this allows us to achieve personal and professional growth of the teacher, optimize his current activities and communication within the team. The conclusion is formulated that forming motivation among foreign language teachers is a key factor in the educational process, and recognizing the importance of this process opens up opportunities for developing the educational environment and improving the quality of teaching. At the same time, for the effectiveness of this process, it is an objective necessity to fulfill the conditions that are prescribed in this study, since in the absence of these structural elements it is hardly possible to talk about increasing the teacher’s professional motivation.

в работе представлена актуальность формирования и развития цифровой грамотности педагогов, рассмотрено понятие «цифровая грамотность педагогов». Построение цифрового образования является одним из приоритетов государственной политики Российской Федерации. Развитие цифровой грамотности педагогов обусловлено также массовым включением учащихся в дистанционное обучение из-за распространения COVID-19, что в свою очередь, требует от учителя успешного проведения занятий в онлайн-режиме. При этом исследователи отмечают низкий уровень цифровой грамотности у педагогов. Таким образом, существует противоречие, поскольку с одной стороны государство регламентирует необходимость использования цифровых ресурсов в работе преподавателя, а с другой – отмечает неготовность педагогов к эффективному использованию цифровых инструментов на занятиях. Авторами проанализированы проблемы повышения цифровой грамотности среди педагогов общеобразовательных организаций и предложены меры по ее повышению со стороны государства, методического сообщества и образовательной организации. Цель. Раскрыть проблемы повышения цифровой грамотности среди педагогов общеобразовательных организаций и обозначить пути их решения. Задачи: 1) Уточнить сущность понятия «цифровая грамотность педагогов». 2) Проанализировать работы исследователей, посвященных цифровизации образования. 3) Предложить меры по повышению цифровой грамотности педагогов общеобразовательных организаций.

the paper presents the relevance of the formation and development of digital literacy of teachers, and examines the concept of “digital literacy of teachers”. Building digital education is one of the priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation. The development of digital literacy of teachers is also due to the massive inclusion of students in distance learning due to the spread of COVID-19, which in turn requires the teacher to have the knowledge to successfully conduct classes online. At the same time, researchers note a low level of digital literacy among teachers. Thus, there is a contradiction, since on the one hand the state regulates the need to use digital resources in the work of a teacher, and on the other hand, teachers are not prepared to effectively use digital tools in the classroom. The authors analyzed the problems of increasing digital literacy among teachers of general education organizations and proposed measures to improve it on the part of the state, the methodological community and the educational organization. Target. To reveal the problems of increasing digital literacy among teachers of general education organizations and to identify ways to solve them. Tasks: 1) Clarify the essence of the concept of “digital literacy of teachers”. 2) Analyze the work of researchers devoted to the digitalization of education. 3) Propose measures to improve the digital literacy of teachers in general education organizations.
