Published: November 2024

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are equipped with numerous sensors that generate vast quantities of data, essential for operational efficiency and informed decision-making. However, the value of this data is contingent upon its suitability for the specific applications it serves. A significant challenge in WSNs is the selection of appropriate data quality dimensions and metrics necessary to construct robust Data Quality Indicators (DQI) and comprehensively assess data quality in various contexts. This systematic literature review seeks to identify the key data quality dimensions and the corresponding measurement metrics within WSNs, while exploring the use of multi-dimensional data quality criteria in developing DQI. A thorough search of SCOPUS and Web of Science databases yielded 475 potential research articles, from which 64 primary studies were selected for in-depth analysis. The findings highlight four key data quality dimensions in WSN: accuracy, timeliness, completeness, and consistency. However, choosing measurement metrics for each dimension requires an in-depth understanding of the data's context. Various approaches for obtaining DQI in WSN research were identified, including weighted linear average models and application-specific contextual information. Effective DQI incorporates weights to each dimension, reflecting the priorities of specific data users, and leverages contextual information pertinent to the sensors’ data. It is crucial to evaluate whether the data collected by WSNs meets established quality standards, a key aspect of WSN operation. These insights will aid in developing more robust and reliable WSNs, ensuring the provision of high-quality data essential for effective operation and decision-making.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Numerous inflammatory diseases are linked to increased endothelial permeability through the nitric oxide (NO) flux in endothelial cells. Luteolin has in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory properties and has been reported to reduce endothelial permeability. However, the exact mechanism/s are yet to be determined. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of luteolin in reducing endothelial permeability in vitro using bradykinin (BK) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) through the NO pathway and the NO radical scavenging property of luteolin.METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the treatment groups were dosed with luteolin at 5, 10, and 25 µM concentrations and allowed to incubate for one hour prior to induction. The L-NAME or HOE 140 were administered prior to the induction of BK or SNP in HUVECs. The NO radical scavenging test, the nitrite determination assay using L-NAME as antagonist, and the in vitro vascular permeability testing using HOE 140 as antagonist were performed.RESULTS: Endothelial permeability was decreased dose-dependently by 5, 10, and 25 µM luteolin in vitro via lowering NO generation. In comparison to HOE 140, luteolin suppressed the enhanced endothelial permeability more effectively. The suppression was 98.02% by 25 µM luteolin compared to HOE 140 94.05%. It was also discovered that luteolin, when incubated with SNP in a dose-dependent manner, possessed potent NO radical scavenging activities.CONCLUSION: The current data demonstrated luteolin's ability to scavenge NO radicals and significantly decrease endothelial permeability through the NO route. Thus, in complementary medicine, luteolin might be potential to improve endothelial permeability suppressor in reducing inflammation.KEYWORDS: luteolin, endothelial permeability, NO, scavenging property, HUVECs
Molecular Mechanisms of Methylglyoxal in Diabetes-related Macrovascular Complications
Authors: Meiliana Anna , Dewi Nurrani Mustika , Wijaya Andi
Published: November 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic endocrine and metabolic disease indicated by the presence of hyperglycemia. It has been known that hyperglycemia and oxidative stress are the main culprit of all DM complications, including macrovascular complications. As a byproduct of lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly reactive substance which plays a positive signaling role in helping cells regain redox balance under oxidative stress circumstances. DM-related problems lead to an excess of mitochondrial superoxide in the heart and big and small vascular endothelial cells. Elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species induce impaired angiogenesis in reaction to ischemia, trigger several proinflammatory pathways, and result in enduring epigenetic modifications that propel the continuous expression of proinflammatory genes even after glucose levels return to normal. Over time, the significance of the extremely quick advanced glycation end-products (AGE) production caused by the extremely reactive MGO has been clarified. It is now evident that MGO causes vascular tissue to react maladaptively. Glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) is the primary enzyme in an organism's enzymatic glyoxalase defense mechanism, which converts MGO to D-lactate in order to counteract the harmful effects of MGO. Understanding the role of the MGO–GLO1 pathway in the etiology of vascular disease in diabetes has advanced significantly. Therefore, it can be summarized that vascular damage are linked to diabetes. The AGE precursor MGO are important in determining the connection between diabetes and vascular damage. MGO and AGEs play a role in several phases of the development of diabetes complications. MGO and AGEs may be useful therapeutic targets for diabetes's macrovascular problems.KEYWORDS: hyperglycemia, AGE, methylglyoxal, glyoxalase, D-lactate, gluthatione, oxidative stress.

Authors: Kulsum Kulsum , Syahrul Syahrul , Hasballah Kartini , Balqis Ummu
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Nigella sativa has been known for its neuroprotective properties, while propofol is an anesthetic induction drug that has been widely used in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). To determine the effectiveness of both active ingredients, it is necessary to compare their neuroprotective effects. This study was performed since not many studies have compared the effect of propofol and Nigella sativa seeds ethanol extract (NSSEE) or their combination on histopathological features in TBI cases.METHODS: Thirty male rat models were divided into 5 groups. Four groups received TBI induction with the methods of Feeney’s weight drop model, while another group (control group) did not receive TBI induction. Groups with TBI induction, later received no treatment, treatment with 500 mg/kg NSSEE orally, 10 mg/kg propofol intravenously, or a combination of NSSEE and propofol. After 8 days, rats were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Subsequently, a craniotomy was performed to obtain brain samples. The brain sample was placed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological examination, which includes brain hemorrhage, congestion, inflammatory cells, necrosis, apoptosis, and degeneration.RESULTS: The present study found that NSSEE showed greater efficacy in histopathological features (brain hemorrhage, congestion, inflammatory cells, necrosis, apoptosis, and degeneration) in rat models with TBI compared to propofol or a combination of propofol and NSSEE.CONCLUSION: NSSEE has superior potential compared to propofol and the combination of both in providing neuroprotection in TBI cases.KEYWORDS: traumatic brain injury, propofol, Nigella sativa seeds ethanol extract, histopathology, neuroprotective

Published: November 2024

The human body, a marvel of complexity, operates through a network of interconnected systems that extend beyond the conventional confines of organs and tissues. Among the most intriguing and dynamic of these networks is the gut- brain axis (GBA), it was considered only for digestion, but in recent years GBA has evolved dramatically, uncovering its profound implications for both physical and mental well-being. Background: As scientific research continues to delve into the intricacies of this bidirectional pathway, a deeper understanding emerges of how the GBA impacts not only digestion and metabolism but also mental health and obesity. Material and methods. This article conducts a systematic review of current scientific literature to explore the intricate mechanisms and profound implications of the GBA on mental health and obesity. Results. Components of the GBA, including the enteric nervous system, vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, gut hormones, and gut microbiota, collectively orchestrate digestion, metabolism, mood, cognition, and behavior. Recent research elucidates the role of the GBA in neurotransmitter production, microbiota composition, immune function, stress response, and vagus nerve communication, highlighting its significance in mental well-being. Moreover, disruptions in the GBA contribute to alterations in appetite regulation, metabolism, and gut microbiota composition, linking it to the development and exacerbation of obesity. Conclusions. Understanding the intricate connections within the GBA provides a foundation for developing targeted interventions to promote holistic health and well-being. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of the GBA, individuals and healthcare professionals can explore innovative approaches to address mental health disorders, life style modification and obesity effectively.

The aim of the work is to compare the reaction of the pituitary-gonadal system and the cortisol content in two types of dopaminergic system reactions in male residents of Arkhangelsk at the change of the photoperiod during the year. Material and methods. During one year, a four-time examination was conducted (in March, June, September, December) of 20 practically healthy males in Arkhangelsk (average age 33.3 ± 5.3 years). The concentration of dopamine was determined in blood plasma, the components of the pituitary-gonadal system and cortisol level were studied in serum. Based on the analysis of individual reactions, the sample was divided into two groups: 1 – the concentration of dopamine in the subjects increases in December compared with September (n = 10); 2 – the concentration of dopamine decreases or does not change in December compared with September (n = 10). Results. In group 1, a decrease in testosterone levels was revealed: both total (18.16 nmol/l in December and 25.20 nmol/l in September) and free (3.77 and 4.29 pg/ml, respectively) fractions. At the same time, a higher cortisol content was noted in December in the first group compared with the second (574.22 and 502.69 nmol/l, respectively). In group 2, there was a significant decrease in estradiol levels (0.13 nmol/L in December versus 0.31 nmol/L in September) with an increase in the testosterone/estradiol index (173.82 and 54.01 units, respectively). Conclusions. The individual-typological variability of the dopaminergic system in the replacement of photoperiods in males living in the European North may have an indirect effect on the pituitary-gonadal axis through parallel activation of the adrenal cortex and increased aromatase activity. We assume that an increase in dopamine content during the period of minimum daylight hours plays a significant role in the compensatory adaptive increase in estradiol levels in the male population of the North.

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of argon plasma coagulation on the wall of the gastrointestinal tract in experiment. Material and methods. A method of endoscopic argon plasma coagulation in a liquid medium was developed to eliminate the shortcomings of the standard technology. Rabbits, divided into two groups, were used as experimental animals; the developed technology of argon plasma coagulation in a liquid medium was applied in the treatment group, while the standard technology of argon plasma coagulation was used in the control group. Gastroscopy, with focal application of argon plasma coagulation followed by morphological examination of the coagulation zones after 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days, was performed. Results. Analysis of morphological sections indicates that when using argon plasma coagulation in a liquid medium, the depth of coagulation impact on biological tissues decreases, as well as the severity of inflammatory changes, resulting in faster reparative changes. The obtained results may be of interest for further clinical-experimental research and implementation into clinical practice of modifications of endoscopic argon plasma coagulation.

The contribution of immunoregulatory cytokines to the formation of cold airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma patients is important for understanding approaches to therapy. Aim of the study was to investigate the interaction of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) with bronchial phagocytes in non-allergic asthma patients depending on the airway response to cold air. Material and methods. In 41 patients with asthma, standard monitoring of clinical symptoms of the disease was performed with assessment of the level of asthma control using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire, basic spirometry, collection of induced and spontaneously produced sputum, as well as exhaled breath condensate (EBC), and a bronchoprovocation test of isocapnic hyperventilation with cold (–20 ºС) air (IHCA), the content of TNF-α, IFN-γ in EBC and cellular composition of sputum. Results. Cold airway hyperresponsiveness was revealed in 15 patients (group 1), and in 26 patients (group 2) bronchial reaction to IHCA was absent. There were no intergroup differences in the level of asthma control (17.1 ± 0.89 and 18.7 ± 0.63 ACT points, respectively; p > 0.05) and indices of lung function (FEV1 91.2 ± 4.07 and 98.8 ± 2.61 %, respectively; p > 0.05). In response to IHCA in sputum of group 1 patients, the number of neutrophils significantly increased, the number of macrophages, structurally integral epithelial cells decreased, proportionally to this, the level of IFN-γ increased significantly in EBC, TNF-α content did not change. Conclusions. The response to isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air in non-allergic asthma patients with cold airway hyperresponsiveness is characterized by an increase in the level of IFN-γ in the exhaled breath condensate with no significant changes in the content of TNF-α. The increase in the proportion of neutrophils in sputum under the influence of cold stimulus is accompanied by a decrease in the number of macrophages and structurally integral epithelial cells because of inflammatory damage, destruction and cytolysis.

Published: November 2024

The widespread use of testicular hyaluronidase preparations determines the particular interest in the development of oral dosage form. The drug under development, which is hyaluronidase pegylated using electron beam immobilization technology (PEG-GIAL), requires an assessment of its safety. Identification of possible neurotoxic action, as well as the influence on cardiac function seems to be very relevant. Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of PEG- GIAL on behavioural reactions and electrical activity of the heart of experimental animals. Material and methods. Eight hundred of white outbred rats (male and female) were used as experimental animals. The effect of PEG-GIAL on the central nervous system was determined using the «open field with holes» test, examining such characteristics as emotional reactions and orientation-research behaviour. The functional state of the cardiovascular system was assessed by electrocardiography data. Results. PEG-GIAL administration in all studied doses does not lead to changes in the functional activity of CNS, does not have a pronounced effect on the indices of orientation-research behaviour and emotional reactions in laboratory animals. No statistically significant changes in the cardiogram of rats were revealed, including no intersex differences. Conclusions. PEG-GIAL administration in all studied doses has no toxic effect on the electrical activity of the heart and has no pronounced effect on changes in the functional activity of the CNS and behavioural reactions.

Published: November 2024

An increase in the frequency of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) seeking medical care and its more severe course after a novel coronavirus infection (NCI), COVID-19, determines the need to study possible pathogenetic mechanisms of disease progression. Aim of the study was to investigate some features of lipid metabolism and changes in hemostasis in patients with AH after NCI COVID-19. Material and methods. An analysis of the most informative indicators of lipid metabolism and hemostasis was carried out in 104 patients with AH underwent (more than 2 months ago) NCI, in comparison with 117 patients with AH, with no history of COVID-19. The study included men and women aged from 30 to 75 years. Determination of the concentration of lipids in blood serum was carried out using the photometric method on a biochemical analyzer AU 480 (Beckman Coulter, США). Hemostatic parameters were determined by the chromogenic method using an automatic hemostasis analyzer Technology Solution 190 (USA). Results and discussion. It was found that patients with AH underwent NCI had significantly higher serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cho- lesterol, triglycerides, D-dimers, platelets and lower activated partial thromboplastin and thrombin time compared with patients without COVID-19. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate a tendency to atherogenic changes in the blood lipid profile and increased coagulation processes in patients with AH in the long-term period (more than 2 months) after suffering a NCI COVID-19.

Permanent monitoring programs are valuable to identify drivers of ecosystem trends. For example, in 2021, we reported the first record of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (sctld) along the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, affecting major reef—building coral species with a prevalence above 30%. However, a few sites such as Carenero remained unaffected by sctld for almost 2 years. The average coral cover in this site was about 18—25% (mean 18.3% ± sd 1.5), and disease prevalence did not exceed 7% in the coral community. During the first quarter of 2022, a few colonies (<1%) of Montastraea covernosa, Pseudodiploria strigosa and Colpophyllia natans started to show macroscopic signs of sctld and between April and September of that year, average prevalence of sctld increased 4—fold. In September 2022, Hurricane Fiona affected the Dominican Republic, hitting the island’s eastern coast and moving northwest. Coral diseases such as sctld and Caribbean Yellow Band Disease (CYBD) increased in prevalence, reaching up to 36% among the top 5 coral reef—building species and the average of dead colonies reached 43%. We recorded a 3—fold reduction of average live coral cover (77% lost) by the end of 2022, with Orbicella faveolata, M. covernosa, C. natans and P. strigosa the most affected species. Furthermore, Fiona lifted and turned upside down large O. faveolata colonies, particularly in the reef flat, and severely affected a large thicket of Acropora cervicornis. Results highlights the value of recurrent and permanent monitoring programs to identify stressors affecting coral reefs.

O CULTO DOS SANTOS E DAS RELÍQUIAS NA POLÍTICA DOS PRIMEIROS REIS PLANTAGENETAS
Authors: Martins Isadora Cristine , Bozoky Edina
Published: November 2024

A veneração de santos e suas relíquias pelos primeiros Plantagenetas fez parte de sua política de construção do “Império” e da consolidação de limites territoriais. Em primeiro lugar, o interesse por certos cultos correspondia à busca pela legitimação dinástica através de um patrono celeste (Eduardo, o Confessor, Edmundo, Marçal e Valérie, a exumação das reliquias em Fécamp, a descoberta das tumbas de Arthur e Guinevere), ao passo que Thomas Becket se tornava rapidamente o novo patrono do reino. Algumas questões em relação às relíquias refletem a simbologia da transferência de poder (o roubo das relíquias de São Petroc de Bodmin, o caso da mão de São Tiago em Reading, o traslado das relíquias de São Valério). A presença de reis em importantes cerimônias de traslado de relíquias, ou suas visitas a santuários estão ligadas a sua política territorial (Monte São Michel, Rocamadour, Grandmont, o traslado de Santa Frideswida em Oxford, etc.)
Finalmente, as relíquias da Terra Santa desempenharam papel importante na cruzada de Ricardo Coração de Leão. A ligação entre política e culto das relíquias explica-se pela crença na virtude presente materialmente nas relíquias, em que a posse e a exaltação do culto devem garantir a proteção celeste do reino.
UMA NOVA MONARQUIA PARA UM NOVO TEMPO: A INGLATERRA DO SÉCULO XII ENTRE HERANÇAS E MUDANÇAS POLÍTICAS
Authors: Corrêa Accioli Lobato Maria de  Nazareth
Published: November 2024

O século XII assistiu ao início de um lento processo rumo ao fortalecimento do poder monárquico perante os poderes senhoriais locais. Um fortalecimento cujo sucesso dependia do controle régio sobre a justiça e as finanças, dois elementos fundamentais para a centralização política do reino. Entre as monarquias europeias ocidentais, a centralização foi mais acentuada na Inglaterra, em decorrência da Conquista Normanda do século XI. A partir de então, o controle sobre o governo se tornou um anseio dos reis anglo-normandos. E a despeito dos avanços e recuos típicos de toda transição, a Inglaterra de Henrique II (1154-1189) se tornou a monarquia mais centralizada do século XII. Nesse sentido, o artigo pretende apontar alguns antecedentes históricos que resultaram na herança política de Henrique II, e que influenciariam seu governo ao longo de trinta e cinco anos de reinado.

La visita del rey y su séquito transformaba el paisaje urbano y lo convertía en un entorno excepcional para las fiestas y ceremonias cortesanas y populares. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este trabajo será analizar los elementos sensoriales y las expresiones emocionales presentes en las visitas de Juan II a la ciudad de Toledo durante el año 1431 con motivo de la preparación de la campaña en contra de Granada y los festejos por su victoria. Ello nos permitirá comprender cómo las percepciones sensoriales y las emociones participaron activamente en la construcción y exhibición del poder del rey. Para ello identificaremos en la crónica de Pedro Carrillo de Huete, por medio de los postulados teóricos y las herramientas metodológicas de la Historia de los sentidos y de las emociones, las marcas sensoriales y emocionales de la presencia regia registradas por el cronista. Entendemos que los sentidos y las emociones de los asistentes participaban de forma directa en la percepción del poder regio y en la forma en que este se presentaba ante los súbditos.

Published: November 2024

Recently, a lot of research has been carried out regarding graphs built from algebraic structures, including ring structures. One important example of a graph constructed from a ring is the zero divisor graph. For a commutative ring R, the zero divisor graph Γ(R) is defined as a simple graph with vertices that are non-zero zero divisors of R, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if the product of the vertices is equal to zero. In this paper, we investigate the zero divisor graph of the quotient ring ℤp[x]/⟨x5⟩ with prime p. More precisely, we characterize some graph properties, including the order, size, adjacency matrix, degree, distance, diameter, girth, clique number, and chromatic number of Γ(ℤp[x]/⟨x5⟩).

Published: November 2024

To categorize patient diagnosis data related to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), this study compares the classification performance of Support Vector Machines (SVM) enhanced by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). CKD is a severe illness in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter blood and perform their normal functions. This study utilized secondary data consisting of patient conditions and health information. Based on references from CKD-related journals, 15 independent variables and one dependent variable were selected from an initial set of 54 variables. To address the issue of unbalanced data, an oversampling technique was applied, and the data was subsequently split into 80% for training and 20% for testing. During the training phase, SVM-PSO and SVM-GA models were developed, and the gamma value was optimized using the RBF kernel function of SVM. The results indicated that in classifying CKD patient diagnosis data, the SVM-PSO model (97.54% accuracy) outperformed the SVM-GA model (97.37% accuracy). This finding suggests that PSO-based hyperparameter optimization yields a superior model for data classification

The Impact of Aligning Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory with a Comprehensive Teacher Education Model on Preservice Teachers’ Attitudes and Teaching Practice
Authors: Mechouat Karima
Published: November 2024

Since its inception, experiential learning has been a foundational tenant of teacher education. However, it is questionable to what extent authentic experiential learning practices are actually taking place. Based on Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory Model, this paper presents an approach to addressing this issue. This exploratory manuscript further examines Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) and considers its implications for Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) in teacher education. A description of the teacher education program in the CRMEF (Centre Régional des Métiers de l’Education et de la Formation) is provided, followed by results from a quantitative and qualitative survey triangulated with teacher trainees’ reflection journals to evaluate the training program in terms of the teacher trainees’ developing confidence and competence in teaching. This paper focuses on exploring the implementation of this approach for teacher education in the CRMEF. Results indicate that a large majority of the participants developed confidence in teaching through this approach, subsequently changing their perceptions and attitudes toward teaching English. Specific learning experiences that contributed to their confidence and competence include in-person, experiential, and hands-on approaches to learning relevant skills and knowledge, confirming the importance of using Kolb’s ELC as the foundation for teacher education programs. The study recommends that teacher educators should enhance their programs by providing pre-service teachers with instruction in authentic experiential learning pedagogy. Therefore, a comprehensive model for teacher education is proposed to demonstrate the role of experiential learning.

This paper presents a methodology for automated classification of leaves using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Leaf classification plays a crucial role in various domains such as agriculture, botany, and environmental science. Traditional methods for leaf classification often rely on manual feature extraction and handcrafted classifiers, which can be time-consuming and limited in their accuracy. In this work, we propose a deep learning approach that leverages the power of CNNs to automatically learn discriminative features from leaf images. The proposed framework consists of several key stages: preprocessing, data augmentation, model architecture design, training, and evaluation. The leaf images are preprocessed to enhance quality and normalize dimensions. Data augmentation techniques are applied to increase the diversity of the training dataset and improve the generalization capability of the model. The CNN architecture is carefully designed to effectively capture hierarchical features present in leaf images. We train the CNN using a large dataset of labeled leaf images, employing techniques such as transfer learning to utilize pre-trained models to optimize training efficiency.. The trained model is evaluated using various metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score on a separate test dataset. The experimental results showcase the proposed approach's effectiveness in accurately classifying various leaf types. Overall, this study showcases the promising capabilities of deep learning techniques for automated leaf classification, paving the way for advanced applications in plant biology and agriculture.
Validacija Skale percipiranog narcisoidnog roditeljstva
Authors: Borović Luka , Džamonja Ignjatović Tamara
Published: November 2024

Termin narcisoidno roditeljstvo opisuje odnos roditelja i djeteta u kome dominiraju potrebe roditelja, uz zanemarivanje potreba djeteta i sputavanje razvoja njegove autonomije. Dijete je sredstvo zadovoljenja potreba i ciljeva roditelja bez obzira na njegove autentične želje i emocije. Za potrebe istraživanja ovog fenomena  je konstruisana Skala percipiranog narcisoidnog roditeljstva, sa paralelnim formama za majku i oca. Skala obuhvata indikatore psihička kontrola, uslovno vrijednovanje, postavljanje visokih standarda i roditeljsko favorizovanje. Uzorak se sastojao od 230 mladih, starosti od 18 do 30 godina (M = 22, SD = 3.00), većinom ženskog pola (83.91%).  Njih 36.52% izvještava da se do sada obraćalo za psihološku  pomoć. Eksplorativna faktorska analiza skale percepcije majčinog i očevog ponašanja pokazuje da je u oba slučaja optimalno rješenje jednofaktorsko kada se isključe stavke koje se odnose na percipirano roditeljsko favorizovanje. I skala percepcije majke (ω = .98) i skala percepcije oca (ω = .97) ispoljavaju visok stepen interne konzistentnosti. Grupa mladih koja je bila uključena u psihološko savjetovanje ili terapiju postiže značajno više skorove na obje forme skale u odnosu na mlade koji nikada nisu tražili stručnu pomoć, što je nalaz u prilog konvergentne validnosti skale. Konstruisana skala ima optimalne metrijske karakteristike i preporučuje se njeno korišćenje prilikom identifikovanja ovog obrasca roditeljstva u praksi. Ograničenja su retrospektivna priroda tvrdnji i nužnost uvida u problematičnost ponašanja roditelja.

In this study we adopt the lens of self-determination theory to examine the interplay between teachers’ basic psychological needs, behaviors, and well-being. We investigate teachers’ classroom behavior in the form of their (de)motivating styles as mediators between their need satisfaction/frustration and levels of their emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. A total of 365 Croatian teachers completed an online survey filling out the Situations-in-School Questionnaire, Basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration scale, Short Index of Job Satisfaction and Emotional exhaustion scale. In line with the bright pathway, results showed that teachers with higher need satisfaction used more autonomy-supportive and structuring motivating styles and were more satisfied with their job. Teachers who used autonomy-supportive style were also more satisfied with their job, and this style partially mediated the relationship between need satisfaction and job satisfaction. In line with the dark pathway, teachers whose basic needs were more frustrated used more controlling and chaotic demotivating styles and reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Control and chaos as demotivating styles were not significant mediators between need frustration and emotional exhaustion, while teachers who used higher levels of the chaotic style reported lower levels of emotional exhaustion.

Background: Camel mange, a highly infectious and itchy condition brought on by Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli, can be spread through direct and indirect contact. It is one of the most significant parasitic diseases affecting camels, severely impacting their productivity and health, with substantial economic consequences. Purpose: Assessing the prevalence of camel mange mites and identifying potential risk factors.  Method:  This cross-sectional study was carried out between June 2023 and February 2024 in the Benadir region of Somalia. A total of 384 camels were randomly selected for skin scrapings, with samples from suspected lesions being microscopically examined. Results:  Of these, 82 camels (21%) were infested with mange mites, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli identified as the only mite species. The research uncovered that the condition of the body, the size of the herd, and age substantially influenced the prevalence of mange mites (p<0.05), while district, sex, and age had no significant effect on infestation rate (p>0.05). Conclusion:  The results suggest that mange mite infestations in the camel populations in the Benadir region negatively affect their health and productivity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve management practices and conduct further research and control measures to mitigate the effects of mange mite infestations on camel husbandry.
