Published: July 2021

This study aimed to determine the views of students on the influences of living in a dormitory/boarding house on their academic performance. The study tested to prove if there is a significant difference present in the views of fifty-two (52) respondents on the influences of living in a dormitory on academic performance between male and female, Course A and Course B, and the socioeconomic status. This employed a descriptive research design with quantitative. The 2-tailed t-test, two-way ANOVA, and weighted mean were utilized to analyze and statistically treat the data. Findings showed that the mean grade of the respondents is 1.78568462 which is very good. It concluded that living in a dormitory/boarding house does not adversely affect the students’ academic performance. It brought about more of a positive impact on their studies than the negative. They performed better when living independently rather than with their families. Regardless of sex, the respondents manifested similar views on the influence of living in a dormitory/boarding house on academic performance. In terms of the courses, Course B respondents have better views on the influence of living in a dormitory/boarding house on academic performance. While, in socioeconomic status, the respondents with high socioeconomic status have better views compared to those with low and middle socioeconomic status.

Published: July 2021

Introduction. Slowing economic growth, the spread of destructive demographic and environmental processes, increasing inequality in access to participation in economic, social and political life of the country necessitate the search for innovative budgeting technologies that would include elements of inclusion.

The purpose of the article is justification of the theoretical foundations of inclusive budgeting, determination of preconditions and necessity of introduction of this technology into budgetary practice of Ukraine.

Methods. In the course of research systematic approach to study widespread budgeting technologies, used in foreign and domestic practice, and the following methods of scientific cognition: induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, associations, analogies and others, were used.

Results. In order to ensure the socio-economic development of Ukraine on the basis of the concept of inclusive sustainable growth, the necessity of introducing technology of inclusive budgeting, which would take into account the benefits of practical use of program-targeted, participatory and gender-based budgeting, has been proved. The main features of inclusive budgeting include: existence of legislatively approved rules, norms and procedures that maximally involve citizens into filling budgets of different levels on the basis of the principle of progressive taxation and provide them with equal access possibilities to public services; maximize the involvement of society members in formulation of the budget programs on the basis of which budget expenditures are determined, as well as in monitoring their implementation, including the reporting procedure. Interpretation of the terms “budgetary inclusion” and “inclusive budgeting” is proposed. The main elements of inclusive budgeting include: budget programs; performance indicators for evaluating the implementation of budget programs; budget program executors; initiative, active, financially competent citizens; participatory budgeting. The main stages of integration of inclusive aspects in the budget process are defined: carrying out inclusive budget analysis (analysis of budget requests, budget programs and the state of their financing, budgets in order to identify problems of unequal access of citizens to budgetary resources and public services); formulation of the goals and recommendations to enhance inclusion; making changes to budget requests, budget programs, budgets; monitoring and evaluation of the results of changes made to budget requests, budget programs, budgets.

Perspectives. The subject of further research is an in-depth study of the problems of budget inclusion.

Effect of microstructure on lattice thermal conductivity of thermoelectric chalcopyrite CuFeS2: experimental and computational studies
Authors: Sato Naoki , Gan Pei Se , Tsujii Naohito , Mori Takao
Published: July 2021

Chalcopyrite CuFeS2 can be considered a promising thermoelectric material when its lattice thermal conductivity κ
lat is successfully reduced. We attempted to obtain fine microstructures of Zn-doped CuFeS2 to reduce κ
lat while keeping its high power factor. A submicron scale grain size was achieved, and κ
lat was reduced by 47%, though the electrical resistivity was significantly increased. According to phonon calculations, we propose that a thin film form is a promising candidate to achieve further attenuation of κ
lat of CuFeS2 without sacrificing electrical properties via precise control of thickness.
Ultrasonography in physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Authors: Barassi Giovanni , Guerri Sergio , Tavani Roberta , Ricucci Giampiero , De Luca Giorgia , Rabini Alessia , Colombo Antonio , Di Iorio Angelo
Published: July 2021

There is an interrelation with ultrasound / physiotherapist and the duty of the physiotherapist to know how to perform ultrasound examinations alone, not for diagnostic purposes, to follow the evolution of the therapeutic cycle of physiotherapy.
For this reason, ultrasound image analysis (US) is a promising non-invasive approach that uses load-dependent changes in the intensity of the echo to characterize the rigidity of muscle and tendon tissue.
The purpose of this contribution is to improve the use of ultrasound images (US) and the role of the physiotherapist, who are able to detect localized changes, in particular in stiffness of the tendon due to partial and full-thickness tendon tears. Image intensity information is less sensitive for identifying load transmission variations resulting from partial thickness cuts initiated on the joint side.
Ultrasound images can be useful for quantitatively assessing the variations dependent on the tendon load and muscle stiffness in physiotherapy and that the interruption of the behavior of the acousto-elastic ultrasound images can be indicative of substantial damage to the muscle or tendon.

Lymphedema of lower limbs represents an important health problem, characterized by the necessity to identify new methods of treatment.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment with Lymphatic Kinesiology Taping (LKT) or Intermittent Pneumatic Compression therapy (IPC) on a homogeneous group of 40 women affected by primary lymphedema within stage 2 of lower limbs, comparing the two methods. Patients were equally and randomly divided into a group A subjected to application of LKT and group B subjected to IPC. All patients were evaluated through electric bioimpedentiometry (analysis of Total Body Water and Extracellular Water) and circumferential measurement of lower limbs through a measurement tape, both before and after the protocol (T0 and T1).
Both treatment groups highlighted an improvement of the lymphedema, with a marked reduction of volume of lower limbs and a better hydric balance of the body.
LKT and IPC can be considered as viable options for the treatment of primary lymphedema within stage 2 of lower limbs.
Evidence-based Practice (EBP): beliefs, knowledge and behavior of physiotherapists. A survey research.
Authors: Collebrusco Luca , Gambacorta Andrea , Visciano Gennaro
Published: July 2021

An analytical observational study was conduct using a web-based questionnaire. Evidence-based practice is one of the most relevant concern of all health professions. This research has been done taking account of demographic information, attitudes and skills in reference to Evidence Based Practice (EBP) for application in the daily clinical practice. To describe beliefs and behaviors of physiotherapists from two Italian regions about EBP and its implementation in clinical practice, their knowledge in this field and the perception of its benefits and barrier in application in clinical practice. The participants completed a designed questionnaire, whose purpose was to determine beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors regarding EBP, as well as demographic information about themselves and their practice settings. This survey was activated through the TSRM-PSTRP registers of Marche and Umbria regions that sent the questionnaire to all the registered physiotherapists. There was a response rate of 7.64% for Marche region, equal to a sample of 132 physiotherapists, and a response rate of 12.99% for Umbria region, equal to a sample of 110 physiotherapists, for a total sample of 242 physiotherapists. The questionnaire was filled out through an online Google platform called “Forms”. The responses were summarized for each item and the logistic regression analyses and the chi-square test were used to examine relationships among variables. The respondents agreed that the use of evidence in practice was necessary, that the literature was helpful in their practices and that the quality of patient care was better when evidence were used. For physiotherapists from Umbria, with more than 15 years of qualification, the following answers are statistically significant (p<0.05): “the application of EBP is necessary in the practice of physical therapy, EBP helps me making decisions about patient care and I actively seek practice guidelines pertaining to areas of my practice and EBP improves the quality of patient care”. For physiotherapists from Marche, with more than 15 years of qualification, the following answers are statistically significant (p<0.05): “EBP helps me making decisions about patient care, I actively seek practice guidelines pertaining to areas of my practice and I am confident in my ability to find relevant research to answer my clinical questions”. Training, familiarity with and confidence in search strategies, use of databases, and critical appraisal tended to be associated to younger therapists with fewer years of qualification. Physical therapists stated they have a positive attitude about EBP and they are interested in learning or improving the necessary skills to implement EBP. They noticed that they needed to increase the use of evidence in their daily practice.

Published: July 2021

Early diagnosis of brain tumors is extremely
important, and shortening the interval between the acquisition of MRI images
and reporting of the results is critical for patients. In the diagnosis of
brain tumors, CT and MRI are some of the core diagnostic techniques used today.
Our main goal is to reduce the workload of radiologists by developing a neural
network that segments MRI images of the brain so we propose a multi-path
segmentation algorithm based on U-Net architecture that uses residual extended
skip blocks. Our proposed model is trained and tested with Gazi Brains 2020
Dataset. We evaluated the results using the dice similarity coefficient and
compared the results with other segmentation algorithms and saw that our
proposed model has comparatively better results. Our proposed model is using
T1-Weighted, T2-Weighted, and Flair MRI images together as inputs, whereas
other segmentation models, are using T2-Weighted or Flair MRI images as input.
Implementation of the model and trained models are available at

Il dopo delle famiglie: disagi, quasi certezze e speranze
Authors: Corsi Michele
Published: July 2021

The paper focuses on the situation of families after coronavirus pandemic, and it is divided in three sections. An “after”, which is also a “now”, because we do not even know how long it will last. We, therefore, need to discuss the discomforts, the almost certainties and the hopes, starting from a consideration: it seems that the situations families are living these days are virtually unknown to those governing us. In addition, what it possibly even worse, the latter behave using a romanticism, which seems inappropriate and out of place. The discomforts: an excess of competences no one really possess to fight an almost unknown virus; the decisions taken by the Government and the major situations of poverty – and not only the economic one – of our Country; the distance between Power and People; and distance learning, in light of the real possibilities of Italian families. The almost certainties: an increase in separations and divorces in the near future and a worsening of already compromised family dynamics. The hops: that the State, the Church, and Pedagogy as well, work more and more fruitfully in the near future towards project and stability cultures for the families and the people, from young ones to adults.
La vicinanza solidale in contesti di vulnerabilità familiare. La partecipazione nella comunità come strada per ricostruire i tessuti sociali
Authors: Serbati Sara , Petrella Andrea
Published: July 2021

Family vulnerability is a particular social situation, characterised by high levels of relational complexity, with serious consequences for the fulfilment of the developmental needs of a child. In the framework of the P.I.P.P.I. Programme (Programme of Intervention for the Prevention of Institutionalisation), social support is intended as a form of solidarity between families that aims to help a family through the support of another family, or individuals. In order to face vulnerability and social exclusion, P.I.P.P.I. promotes the mobilisation of these resources. The paper is therefore focused on a case study based in Sondrio (Italy), carried out within the P.I.P.P.I. Programme. The professionals together with the researchers tested their understanding, also promoting dialogue-meetings with families. These dialogical and interactive contexts generated new and unexpected interpretations of this phenomenon, framing it into an educational process that meets the needs of children and families, and promoting community participation as a way to reconstruct local social networks as well.
Methods and Approaches of Teaching English: a Historical Review
Authors: Albukbak Omar A. , Msimeer Amel M.
Published: July 2021

It might be quite difficult to say that one teaching method or approach is the best to be adopted in English classes. A little knowledge of the history of these methods and approaches can lead to unsuccessful application inside language classrooms. Therefore, this methodological research paper presents a historical background of some teaching methods and approaches which have been used in language education throughout history of teaching/learning English. It introduces the principles on which each teaching method and approach is based.
