Training Method for Secondary School Teachers as Readers
Authors: Valdivia Yábar Silvia Verónica , Tineo Quispe Luis Enrique
Published: December 2023

The teaching of literary reading remains organized around activities that hide the subjectivity of the reader. However, several researchers affirm that all reading is subjective and that the involvement of the reading subject would stimulate personal reactions and plural readings. In this framework, the objective of this study was to understand the effects of a teaching method of comprehensive work on the training of future teachers of Spanish in a program of studies at the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano in Peru. The qualitative research approach, the type of explanatory research, and the quasi-experimental design were adopted. A teacher trainer directed the didactic sequence, organized in seven sessions. The subjective investment of eight voluntary participants was observed and interpreted to understand how to better train them in literary reading and teaching. The results allowed us to identify the subjective resources mobilized by the teachers and to observe the modalities of the reflexivity of the students in the oral and written productions.

Making up incapacity for work?
Authors:   , Dijkstra Nathanje Daniëlle
Published: December 2023

In 1901 the Ongevallenwet, the first act regulating the insurance of workers in cases of accidents, was introduced in the Netherlands. In the historiography of the welfare state, introductions of acts like the Ongevallenwet mark a moment in time in which the collective started to take care of individual misfortune. This new form of state funded compensation for the loss of income due to disabilities came with a pressing individual responsibility to not misuse this social security arrangement. The regulations have constantly been tightened to make sure ‘the right people’ receive benefits. But when was a person truly incapable to work?

Social security legislation necessitated classification. As philosophers of science have shown, classifications are moving targets that interact with our investigations. Interaction with the classification therefore ‘makes up’ the label that is being described. In line with these insights, this research examines the search for identifying properties of incapacity to work as a process of making up incapacity to work.

This dissertation provides a fresh look at the ways in which incapacity for work has historically been produced. It analyses the actions and practices that have created and sustained the phenomenon of incapacity for work. It examines how it was enacted not only through the Ongevallenwet, but also through the interactions between the officials who implemented policies, the medical experts who testified about the nature, veracity and severity of the incapacity for work, and the individuals whose working capacity was under scrutiny.

This research has shown how the three actors enacted incapacity for work in different ways, taking into account their position, knowledge, interests, (professional) rationalisations and values. Each actor undertook its own situated search for the properties of incapacity, resulting in a variety of realities of incapacity. Each assessment, however, required mediation, navigation and negotiation between legal frameworks, values and interests. Each actor had to deal with doubt and used their own rationales and techniques, and did so in interaction with the other actors involved. In that process, the characteristics of incapacity were constantly changing. This thesis has shown that there is no such thing as a fixed category of disabled workers, instead this category is created in the process of claim assessment.

This conclusion has far-reaching implications for the way we look at social security legislation. It is much more than the allocation of money: the process establishes categories associated with all sorts of socio-material realities. By recognising that the targeted group of people who earn benefits are shaped in the process, we can further explore what hierarchical dynamics are at work, how the narratives and perspectives of the actors involved are valued and taken seriously, and what rationalisations and prejudices about people claiming benefits shape examination practices.
Profiling epigenetic modifications and lineage specifications using single-cell multi-omics
Authors:   , Blotenburg Marloes
Published: December 2023

Developmental biology studies the processes that take place when a fully formed organism arises from just one single cell. At the level of gene regulation, the correct genetic programs need to be switched on and alternative patterns need to be blocked. This is achieved by the placement of modifications on top of the DNA, termed epigenetic modifications. Recently developed techniques allow the read-out of these characteristics in single cells. Chapter 1 provides an overview of developmental biology and these techniques, and chapter 3 introduces a new method for profiling epigenetic modifications and the cell type in single cells.
To study the development of organisms, in vitro systems that mimic aspects of embryogenesis have been developed. Chapter 2 investigates how these structures form, and proposes a more efficient and stable protocol. This protocol is applied in chapter 3, after which the epigenetic modifications of these in vitro systems are profiled. This shows a high degree of similarity between in vitro systems and in vivo embryonic development. In chapter 4, an attempt is made to reconstruct a lineage tree in these in vitro systems, to study which cell types share common ancestors. Chapter 5 places the research of this thesis in the context of embryonic development and technique development.

Published: December 2023

- The need to assess the suitability of foundation soil for oil and gas installations, such as pipeline, stations, and all other ancillary facilities, necessitated this study across the Niger River of north central Nigeria. A total of 17 boreholes and cone penetration tests were conducted. Samples were recovered from the boreholes and tested in the laboratory to obtain soil parameters. The investigation revealed that the subsurface is essentially composed of FINE SAND/SAND and CLAY. The FINE SAND is largely the superficial soil except in BH1 where CLAY is the superficial soil. The FINE SAND is loose at the top becoming medium dense and clayey at the base as it grades into CLAY. It has a greyish colour, with moisture content between 6% and 29% and bulk unit weight between 15.17 kN/m3 and 21.76 kN/m3 . The CLAY underlies the FINE/SAND and SAND. It is generally greyish in colour, with moisture content between 12% and 29% and bulk unit weight between 15.17 kN/m3 and 21.30 kN/m3 and an average strength of 156 kN/m2 except where it is the surficial soil and soft (strength < 25 kN/m2 ). Oversize materials were not encountered during the investigation and as such shall not pose any risk to horizontal directional drilling operation. However, on the Island, within the FINE SAND, bed of gravel occurs in BH8 and BH9. In terms of plasticity, due to saturation, the soils are not expected to swell. Nevertheless, it is advisable to add polymers to the drilling mud to prevent transfer of water from the drilling fluid into the soil as a precaution for clayey soils at the entry and exit points and on the Island. Most of the soil contains fines less than 30% and therefore, specific measures may be employed to improve borehole stability during drilling and installation.

The millennial generation is a generation that is very close to technology. The freedom to access social media through various platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook as entertainment is more important than the learning they get from social media. One simple problem that occurs in the field is their wealth of knowledge about various genres of music is unfortunately not matched by basic knowledge about music itself. One of the simplest is rhythm and tempo. Elementary school children in the RT.22 Matani area are often unable to sing according to the tempo or rhythm of the song they are playing. It is very simple but it becomes the basis for them to develop their interest and talent in music. On the other hand, the ability to hear and read rhythm and tempo must be trained to develop the ability to read block notation and numbers. The solution offered by the PKM team is to use the Dalcroze Method in practicing rhythm and tempo so that learning simple basic music theory becomes comfortable and fun, of course the expected results are maximized

Published: December 2023

In this era, careful attention is needed to the development and growth of children, so that if there is an abnormality it can be detected as early as possible. One of the main factors that affect the growth and development of children is the nutritional factor. Lack of knowledge about growing children causes parents not to realize if their child has a disorder such as stunting. Stunting must be detected as early as possible so that solutions can be given to prevent it from happening. These problems must be corrected immediately and the development of the child is not disturbed. Therefore we need an application that can detect stunting disorders in children from an early age so that they can be handled quickly and precisely. In making this application, it will detect the child's height and weight through the camera to perform a nutritional check that detects the child is stunted or not. This application uses artificial intelligence or Artificial Intelligence based on android. Weight measurement results will be sent from the weighing system to the application using the Bluetooth address for the connection so that the weight results can be displayed on the application. Height measurement is carried out using the camera in the application which will detect the child's height through an image. The test results show that the stunting detection application is very helpful for parents to observe the growth and development of children without having to use and calculate children's nutritional problems manually.

The treatment landscape for multiple myeloma (MM) has experienced substantial progress over the last decade. Despite the efficacy of new substances, patient responses tend to still be highly unpredictable. With increasing cognitive burden that is introduced through a complex and evolving treatment landscape, data-driven assistance tools are becoming more and more popular. Model-based approaches, such as digital twins (DT), enable simulation of probable responses to a set of input parameters based on retrospective observations. In the context of treatment decision-support, those mechanisms serve the goal to predict therapeutic outcomes to distinguish a favorable option from a potential failure. In the present work, we propose a similarity-based multiple myeloma digital twin (MMDT) that emphasizes explainability and interpretability in treatment outcome evaluation. We've conducted a requirement specification process using scientific literature from the medical and methodological domains to derive an architectural blueprint for the design and implementation of the MMDT. In a subsequent stage, we've implemented a four-layer concept where for each layer, we describe the utilized implementation procedure and interfaces to the surrounding DT environment. We further specify our solutions regarding the adoption of multi-line treatment strategies, the integration of external evidence and knowledge, as well as mechanisms to enable transparency in the data processing logic. Furthermore, we define an initial evaluation scenario in the context of patient characterization and treatment outcome simulation as an exemplary use case for our MMDT. Our derived MMDT instance is defined by 475 unique entities connected through 438 edges to form a MM knowledge graph. Using the MMRF CoMMpass real-world evidence database and a sample MM case, we processed a complete outcome assessment. The output shows a valid selection of potential treatment strategies for the integrated medical case and highlights the potential of the MMDT to be used for such applications. DT models face significant challenges in development, including availability of clinical data to algorithmically derive clinical decision support, as well as trustworthiness of the evaluated treatment options. We propose a collaborative approach that mitigates the regulatory and ethical concerns that are broadly discussed when automated decision-making tools are to be included into clinical routine.

Introduction

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a debilitating condition characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs, typically occurring during periods of rest or sleep. It is more prevalent during pregnancy and is linked to sleep disturbances, diminished quality of life, and pregnancy complications. However, previous studies yielded inconsistent findings among pregnant women in middle-income countries. Consequently, this systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine the pooled prevalence of restless legs syndrome and its associated factors in these populations.

Method

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on published studies from middle-income countries until May 2023. The review strictly adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Relevant search terms were used to search for studies in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Data extraction was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for prevalence studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 17 software, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test, while publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test. Forest plots were also used to present the pooled prevalence and odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) using the random-effects model.

Result

This review included 22 studies from nine countries with a total of 17, 580 study participants. The overall pooled prevalence of RLS among pregnant women in middle-income countries was 13.82% (95% CI: 13.31, 14.32), and having low hemoglobin level (AOR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.29, 2.18), history of RLS (AOR: 7.54, 95% CI: 3.02, 18.79), muscle cramps (AOR: 3.58, 95% CI: 1.21, 10.61), excessive day time sleepiness (AOR: 4.02, 95% CI: 1.34, 12.04), preeclampsia (AOR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.30), and taking prophylactic iron supplementation (AOR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.69) were the identified factors associated with it.

Conclusion

Generally, nearly one in every eight pregnant women in middle-income countries develop restless legs syndrome during pregnancy. Having low hemoglobin level, a history of RLS, muscle cramps, excessive daytime sleepiness, preeclampsia, and taking prophylactic iron supplementation were the identified factors associated with it. These findings underscore the importance of addressing the identified factors associated with RLS in order to effectively mitigate its occurrence among pregnant women.

Background

Healthcare workers (HCWs) experienced high levels of stress and mental health consequences associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have contributed to unhealthy coping behaviors, such as substance use coping (SUC). This study aimed to understand the extent of and predictors of SUC.

Methods

The sample consisted of 263 HCWs in North Central Florida. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses investigated whether moral injury and other work risk factors, protective factors, and clinically relevant symptoms (i.e., work exhaustion, interpersonal disengagement, depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD) were associated with likelihood of SUC.

Results

Clinically relevant levels of interpersonal disengagement and anxiety increased the likelihood of SUC. Mediational analyses found that interpersonal disengagement and anxiety explained 54.3% of the relationship between Self Moral Injury and SUC and explained 80.4% of the relationship between professional fulfillment and SUC.

Conclusion

Healthcare supervisors should be aware that providers who are experiencing moral injury and less professional fulfillment may be experiencing significant interpersonal disengagement and anxiety, which could lead to SUC. Future studies should examine the effects of implementing targeted prevention and treatment interventions, along with longitudinal outcomes related to SUC behaviors.

Anaplastic glioma is one of the most dangerous and serious brain tumors. Modern microsurgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and other all-encompassing therapeutic techniques can lead to inadequate clinical treatment results for gliomas. High dose re-irradiation with concurrent chemotherapy is a workable treatment option for patients with metastases and recurrent anaplastic gliomas, even when significant treatment volumes are being employed to target non-enhancing tumor components. The issue of glioma metastasis is likewise unsettled and poorly understood. Single serial observations of high-grade glioma metastases are reported in the international literature, with glioblastoma accounting for the majority of these cases. Isolated cases of anaplastic glioma metastasis have been recorded in the majorit y of observations.

The trigeminal nerve is a complex anatomical formation that performs very important tasks in terms of functionality. This article focuses on the study of the exit of the trigeminal nerve and its syntopy with arteries. It is the study of the location of nearby vessels relative to the nerve and their neurovascular conflict that determines the relevance of this work. The prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is quite high and amounts to 40–60 patients per 100,000 population, and the incidence according to the World Health Organization is within 2–4 people per 10,000 population. The maximum risk of neurovascular conflict is observed in the age group of people from 45 to 60 years. It is also known that women suffer from neuralgia significantly more often than men. Not only the exact diagnosis, but also the selection of the most appropriate treatment tactics will depend on the result of studies of the individual anatomical features of the pons area. The authors of the article studied 17 preparations of the base of the brain of middle-aged individuals, fixed in a 7 % formalin solution. Of the 17 preparations studied, neurovascular relationships were noted in 14, which is 82.4 % of the total. As a result of morphometric measurements, the data on the length and width of the pons, the thickness of the trigeminal nerve roots, and the middle cerebellar peduncles were obtained. Statistical data processing and photographic documentation were carried out. The clinical manifestations of the disease, diagnostic options, and various methods of treatment were considered. The most effective method of treating neurovascular conflict is surgery, the first mention of which dates back to 1934.
