Suomi on selkokielen käytön edelläkävijöitä. Selkokielen tutkimusperustainen kehittäminen on kuitenkin Euroopan laajuisestikin tuore ilmiö, ja myös Suomessa selkokieltä on tutkittu lähinnä opinnäytteissä. Käsillä oleva lehti on ensimmäinen Virittäjän teemanumero selkokielestä. Uusin, Leealaura Leskelän selkokielen väitöskirja julkaistiin vuonna 2022, ja ainut edellinen kielitieteellinen väitöstutkimus (Kulkki-Nieminen) on vuodelta 2010. Selkokieli on lyönyt itsensä hyvin läpi, mutta se ei ole valmis tuote, jonka saa apteekin hyllyltä. Se on ennen kaikkea kykyä mukauttaa kielellistä toimintaa vastaanottajan tarpeisiin.
Selkokieli on osa saavutettavuutta ja jatkumolla suhteessa selkeään kieleen. Kotus, Selkokeskus ja monet selkotoimijat ovat aloittaneet yhteistyön, jonka jatkuvuus vaatii resursseja. Kansalliskielistrategiassa (2021) ja Avoimen hallinnon strategiassa 2030 edellytetään, että hallinnossa käytetään tarvittaessa selkokieltä. Selkokielen ja selkeän kielen työnjaon kehittäminen lisää kielitietoisuutta ja parantaa käytettävän kielen laatua.
Selkokielen laaja kysyntä edellyttää korkeatasoista koulutusta. Tutkijoiden on oltava hereillä, jotta selkokielen koulutus saadaan tutkimukseen perustuvaksi.
Tämän numeron kirjoitukset valaisevat selkokielen tutkimusta eri näkökulmista. Idastiina Valtasalmi korostaa, että selkokielen ohjeistuksessa pitäisi kiinnittää huomiota rakenteiden funktioihin pelkkien muotojen sijaan. Ritva Pallaskallion tutkimus tuo esiin kaunokirjallisuuden tyylin ja ilmaisukeinojen siirtymisen selkomukauttamisessa. Nuorten huomioiminen lukijoina on ajankohtaista, kun Kulttuurirahasto on käynnistämässä kouluihin suunnatun selkokirjakampanjan.
Mitä on selkovisuaalisuus? Miten tekstin ja kuvan saa yhdessä palvelemaan selkoistusta? Näitä kysymyksiä käsittelee Auli Kulkki-Niemisen artikkeli, jossa hän analysoi journalistisia valokuvia osana selkouutisia.
Muualla Euroopassa selkoistamista kohdellaan usein kielensisäisenä kääntämisenä. Selkoistaminen sopii myös osaksi kääntäjien koulutusta, kuten käy ilmi Päivi Kuusen ja kumppaneiden artikkelista. Johanna Komppa ja Kaarina Pitkänen-Heikkilä jatkavat havaintokirjoituksessaan kääntäjäopiskelijoiden tuottaman aineiston parissa ja nostavat esiin sen, että selkoistamisen keskeiset kysymykset liittyvät tekstin ja informaation rakenteisiin.
Anneli Hanhisalo ja Jenni Stolt korostavat, miten eri kohderyhmissä selkoistamisen tarve voi osua erilaisiin seikkoihin. Tarvitaan ymmärrettävyyden tutkimusta, jota tehdään yhdessä käyttäjien kanssa. Arto Mustajoki puolestaan kuvaa havaintokirjoituksessaan selkokieltä Venäjällä. Kansainväliseen vertailuun antaa eväitä myös käsikirja Euroopan selkokielistä (Lindholm & Vanhatalo 2021).
Selkokieli on tieteidenvälinen tutkimuskohde, joka kutsuu kielentutkijoita vaikuttamaan kieliympäristön kehittymiseen.

Ontological Commitment and Its Implication to Semantical Objects of Religious Language
Authors: Khasri Muhammad Rodinal Khair , Syamsuddin Mohammad Mukhtasar , Murtiningsih Siti
Published: March 2023

This research is aimed at explaining and analyzing the ontological status of semantical objects of religious language. This ontological status concern how every term in religious language refers to an object and how we interpret those terms, whether it represents the object itself or merely its sensual or constructive properties. This finding lies in the disputation between religious realism and non-realism. The results of this research are (1) every believer is exactly a realist because he or she has the ontological commitment to the object of the utterance, but (2) God exists independently from human thought and consciousness, (3) it is possible to put God as the object of intentional and semantic but only represents sensible qualities of the real object, and (4) the meaning of religious language depends on believer's ontological commitment on God's existence.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to examine the relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness. This study also tests whether the relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness varies with the characteristics of the board of commissioners. The characteristics of the board of commissioners used are the size of the board of commissioners and the educational background of the board of commissioners. The study was conducted on listed firms on Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013-2017. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness. This study did not find enough evidence that the relationship between tax avoidance and stickiness costs was more positive in firms with a small size of the board of commissioners compared to large ones. Firms with a small size of board of commissioners indeed show anti-sticky costs and tax avoidance is not related to cost stickiness, but firms with a large board of commissioners show that there is a positive relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness. This study also found that in groups with small proportions of economic education / business background of board members there was a positive relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness, whereas in large groups there was no cost stickiness and found no relationship between tax avoidance and cost stickiness.

Applicability of the IOTN-AC index in a bimaxillary protrusion population
Authors: Hoyte Trudee , Ali Anil , Bearn David
Published: March 2023

Objective

The objective of this study was to assess the validity of the IOTN-AC in the assessment of aesthetic impairment in bimaxillary protrusion patients.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted and involved 110 patients comprising 52 males (47.3%) and 58 females (52.7%) who were accepted for fixed appliance treatment at The University of the West Indies Dental Hospital and provided consent for the use of their records. The mean age was 13.45 years. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment and score their self-perceived IOTN-AC. An orthodontist also scored the malocclusion using the IOTN (AC and DHC).

Results

Spearman’s correlation between patient IOTN-AC and orthodontist IOTN-AC was r = 0.435, (p < 0.001). However, the patient IOTN-AC and the ‘normative’ need (p = 0.198), as well as the orthodontist IOTN-AC and the ‘normative’ need (p = 0.334), were not correlated (r = 0.124 and r = 0.094, respectively). Both patient and the orthodontist IOTN-AC scores were not in agreement with ‘normative’ need (IOTN-DHC). Cohen’s kappa test determined an agreement between the patient’s IOTN- AC and an orthodontist’s IOTN AC score, k = 0.395, p < 0.001. The questionnaire revealed aesthetics as the primary reason for seeking treatment but there was poor correlation between the questionnaire items and the patient or orthodontist IOTN-AC score, an AC score of 3 being the most common score for both.

Conclusion

The IOTN-AC is not a valid tool to determine patient perception of the need for treatment in a bimaxillary protrusion population when scored by either patients or orthodontists.

Published: March 2023

Reducing sugar in tobacco can reduce the pungent odor of cigarette smoke and is the important indicator of tobacco routine chemical analysis. In order to improve the stability of the continuous flow method for the determination of the reducing sugar content in tobacco, the current ISO method, ISO 15154:2003, was intentionally modified as follows: the 5% acetic acid solution in the blue/blue pipeline was replaced by 0.2 mol@L-1 hydrochloric acid solution in the red/red pipeline; the concentration of sodium hydroxide was reduced from 0.5 mol@L-1 to 0.4 mol@L-1; and the volume of the heating tank was increased from 7.7 mL to 10.6 mL. It was found that the repeatability and reproducibility of the revised method kept comparable to those of ISO 15154:2003, the effective sampling in one experiment of the revised method was increased to 90 cups without precipitates in the pipeline, the main reaction time was extended by 45 s, and the lifespan of the heating tank was prolonged by more than 100%. In addition, the modified method was evaluated via a general validation procedure, and the detection limit and the quantitation limit were 0.0057% and 0.0190%, respectively. Furthermore, the relative standard deviation was less than 5%, and the recovery of added standard was between 98.22% and 103.65%. These results indicate that the modified method is a promising alternative to the current ISO method. [Contrib. Tob. Nicotine Res. 32 (2023) 11–17]
Selected Economic and Social Aspects Resulting from Online Education at the Higher Level
Authors: Bartkowiak Anna , Marciniuk Agnieszka
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 epidemic undoubtedly affected methods and results of teaching, posed many challenges, and changed approaches to education. With the aim of verifying these changes in the context of distance learning in selected social, health, psychological and economic aspects, a survey was conducted among economics students in Poland.

The article aims to present the results of this survey and to verify the main research hypotheses: that students put less work into distance education than in-class education during the semester; they were less active and focused; the economic benefits increased; and social relations deteriorated.

Due to the type of variables studied, statistical methods such as parametric and non-parametric tests, descriptive statistics, correlations measures, and generalized multinomial linear models were used.

From the survey analysis, it can be concluded that distance learning is more complicated, as it requires more work and an above-average commitment. During distance learning, students are reluctant to speak up and be active, but they can contact a teacher more easily. The negative effects of this learning are the increasing health and psychological problems and minimal social relations. A positive impact is an economic aspect in the form of saved time, funds, and the possibility of earning money. IT competencies were improved and the possibility of additional education and participating in many workshops increased. The research results show that most students prefer lectures online vs. classes and labs in person.
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF Conotrachelus dubiae IN RELATION TO FRUIT RETENTION OF Myrciaria dubia (CAMU-CAMU) IN A FLOODED AREA, IN LORETO-PERU

Published: March 2023

Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazonian fruit of economic importance.The most common problems are the damage caused by Conotrachelus dubiae and the drop of developing fruits. The objective was to clarify the factors influencing post-defoliation fruit retention influenced by C. dubiae in flooded areas. Four treatments were applied: control (T1), bottle trap (T2), adhesive tape trap (T3), and foliar fertilization (T4). The research was conducted at a camu-camu plot on the Amazon River banks. As an additional control, plants at a highland plot were evaluated. Data on the retention of flowers and fruits, yield, and quality were obtained. The presence of pests was monitored, and fruits attacked by C. dubiae were harvested. T2 showed the highest levels of damaged fruit (11.9% ± 9) and fruit retention (24.5% ± 21). This supports the hypothesis that the primary cause of fruit drop is not pest damage. In fact, T4 was the most effective pest control (damaged fruits: 4.1% ± 4). The critical period for fruit retention was right after the fruit set. Defoliation did not have any effects on fruit quality.  Flowering induction, unusually occurring during the flooding period, explains the high stress that caused low fruit retention.

Authors: Loc Nguyen Huu , Nam Nguyen Khoa , Man Le Minh
Published: March 2023

In this study, the Taguchi and symmetric quasi-D optimal methods were applied to comprehensively evaluate the influence of a wide range of factors affecting worm drive efficiency: oil kinematic viscosity v, friction coefficient f, rotational speed n, speed ratio u, output torque T2, module m, and diameter factor q, thereby choosing an appropriate method when studying the efficiency of mechanical drives and also choosing an optimal parameter domain to ensure maximum efficiency when designing, manufacturing, and operating the worm drive. Quadratic regression equations were obtained for the most influential factors, and the results showed a high goodness-of-fit and accuracy. Experimental models were developed to evaluate and compare the effects of the factors on efficiency. Overall, the regression equations can be used to predict the efficiency of worm drives and to select the parameters that improve the efficiency of worm drives or help develop new worm drive products. The worm testing system can be used to test the efficiency of worm drives or develop new worm drive products.

Authors: Nafees Rabia , Zareen Humaira , Imran Zoofishan , Malik Dr Maujid Masood , Sher Shazia Jang
Published: March 2023

Background and Objective: The discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses is important for clinical management and surgical planning in such patients. The risk of malignancy index (RMI) is a combined parameter that is a simple, highly sensitive, and more specific scoring system based on three factors: serum cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels, ultrasonographic (USG) score, and menopausal status. The objective of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of RMI for the primary evaluation of ovarian masses in females presenting at a local tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.

Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at the Gynecology outdoor clinic of Fouji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The study comprised 141 females admitted for surgical exploration of ovarian masses. Pre-operative USG evaluations of ovarian mass, menopausal status, and serum CA-125 levels were determined for all the patients. RMI was calculated and post-operative histopathology of resected ovarian masses was done in all the cases to confirm the diagnosis.

Results: The sensitivity and specificity of CA-125 alone at a cut-off value of 35 U/ml was 67.64% and 83.17% respectively. Using a cutoff value for RMI at 200 U/ml, the specificity and sensitivity of CA-125 were 85.98% and 76.47%, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed that RMI was a better discriminate than CA-125, ultrasound, and menopausal status alone.

Conclusion: The RMI is a useful tool in the primary evaluation of ovarian masses. It can be used to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian masses with high sensitivity and specificity. Suspected malignant patients can be referred to a gynecological oncologist for further management.

Published: March 2023

Background and Objective: Acid–base status is mandatory for clinical assessment of patients with septic shock and severe sepsis. Generally, venous blood gas sample collection is easier, however, the data regarding this approach are lesser defined in our population as a substitute for arterial blood gas (ABG) sample. The present study aimed to determine and compare the pH, pCO2, and bicarbonate levels in VBG and ABG samples in patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Method: A cross sectional comparative study was conducted on 350 patients with sepsis and/or septic shock admitted to the medical emergency of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Both ABG and VBG samples were collected and pH, pCO2, and bicarbonate levels were determined by standard methods. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and the Bland–Altman method for bias.

Results: An interclass correlation (r = 0.995, r = 0.929 and r = 0.946) was found for pH, pCO2, and bicarbonate between ABG and VBG samples, respectively. The Bland–Altman method showed a high degree of agreement for two sets of measurements; pH (bias ± SD, 0.089 ± 0.00472) and pCO2 (bias ± SD, -1.1096 ± 1.0089) with a clinically acceptable difference whereas the difference in bicarbonate measurement was found slightly higher (bias ± SD, 1.124 ± 0.674) revealing, however, a good degree of agreement with clinically acceptable bias.

Conclusion: Use of a venous blood sample in patients with sepsis or septic shock is a clinically acceptable substituent for ABG measurement in evaluating acid-base status of these patients for further management.
Commiphora wightii and molmol have therapeutic effects in oral cancers and COVID-19 disease by modulating anti-apoptotic proteins and inflammatory pathways
Authors: Rasheed Nida , Ghafoor Sarah
Published: March 2023

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has become prevalent worldwide and is one of the leading causes of death. Derangement of antiapoptotic proteins is important regarding OSCC development. Over-expression of these proteins leads to prolonged cellular survival, thus increasing the susceptibility of tumor formation. Commiphora wightii and molmol are the natural herbs with ability to downregulate anti-apoptotic proteins by acting on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, p53 pathway, signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway, estrogen, cyclooxygenase 2, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.

Background and objective: Birth asphyxia is a common pathological condition seen in newborns with increased morbidity and mortality. Grave consequences following birth asphyxia require earlier recognition of the precipitating factors and prompt treatment in intensive care units. Multiple electrolyte imbalance has been related to this condition. This study aimed at determining the mean serum total calcium levels in neonates with birth asphyxia.

Methods: This cross sectional study was performed at the neonatal intensive care unit of the Pediatric Department of Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan over a period of 6 months. A total of 100 full-term neonates of either gender with evidence of birth asphyxia of any stage were enrolled on their first hour of birth. Serum calcium levels were estimated in each neonate at 24 hours after birth.

Results: A total of 60 (60%) neonates were males. Mean serum calcium levels were found to be 7.64 mg/dl ± 0.59 with no significant difference among males and females (7.67 ± 0.64 and 7.59 ± 0.50 mg/dl, respectively). Neonatal distribution in Stages I, II, and III was 64 (64.0%), 23 (23.0%), and 13 (13.0%), respectively. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy stage stratification with mean serum calcium levels with higher stages deciphered significant correlation (7.89 ± 0.54, 7.36 ± 0.28, and 6.88 ± 0.28 mg/dl, respectively, in stage I, II, and III).

Conclusion: Markedly decreased levels of mean serum calcium were seen in higher hypoxic stages with ischemic encephalopathy hence delineating a linear correlation with the onset and progression of disease.

Teachers’ ability to reflect on teaching is one of the basic attributes that enhances quality of their instruction. However, it cannot be assumed that teacher students will be equipped with advanced/professional competences for writing reflections without this aspect being developed during their pre-service training. One of the possible opportunities to explore this area are courses focused on the concept of professional vision which appears in pedagogical literature in terms of students’ ability to reflect on observed lessons. The aim of this contribution was to describe the initial competencies of pre-service chemistry teachers (N=24) in observing (video) lesson and their ability to determine critical moments and design their alterations before entering an Observation Practice course which is focused on forming their professional vision, i.e. their ability to notice key aspects of educational process. For the analysis of the written reflections, a modified version of Sherin and van Es’ (2009) methodology (coding into information units focused on the actor,aspects of PCK and depth of annotation, analysis and alteration) was used. The results show that student-teachers focus primarily on teachers as actor in teaching and that they do not pay enough attention to the subject side of the lesson when writing a reflection. At the same time, they are also unable to find proper alternatives in case of malfunctioning education.

The impact of implementation of mobile technologies into the teaching affects teachers. There are higher demands on their expertise and skills (Koehler, Mishra, 2009). Teaching with technology is complicated due to the challenges that new technologies bring to teachers (Koehler, Mishra, 2009). The countries of the European Union invest a lot of resources into the technological equipmentof schools. However, research (Commission, Survey at Schools. ICT in Education., 2013; Commission, Technologies for better human learning and teaching, 2014) shows that there are no expected changes in the education and learning of pupils with the supportof digital technologies. Rikala (2015) states, that teachers should be trained in their new roles as mobile learning facilitators. In the contribution, we would like to present the results of a survey that focused on the attitudes of Slovak physics teachers on the implementation of mobile technologies in physics teaching. The purpose of the survey was to get an overview of the attitudes of Slovak physics teachers on the use of mobile technologies in physics lessons, their experiences with these technologies and the conceptions of their use in physics lessons. In contribution, we will present mobile learning, our proposed activities for teaching physics using mobile technologies and more detailed results of the survey too.

Contrary to popular belief, effective teaching does not consist in transmitting ready knowledge by teachers, but in acquiring, memorising, and then recreating the knowledge by students. The learner must discover as much „knowledge“ as possible. Such teaching/learning corresponds to the constructivist approach. One of the key steps in constructivist approach is integration of the knowledge. It was decided to investigate how teachers of secondary schools in the Małopolskie voivodeship integrate the knowledge and experience of students freshly acquired during the lessons with information known to them earlier. The chapter presents the results of the research.

Published: March 2023

The development of information and communication technologies offers a fairly frequent use of computer simulation in the teaching of science subjects. Simulations allow better understanding of the real system and offer new possibilities of curriculum mediation. This is also supported by the research findings in the field of teaching of oxidation-reduction reactions with animations, simulations and computer models. This article evaluates 192 articles published between 2000 and 2019 indexed in the Web of Science database. The results of the evaluation showed that the target group of research is most often students at the university level, technical in particular, and the researches are very often focused on understanding the process at the micro level and the conclusions of individual researches show that real experiment combined with an appropriate simulation helps students to gain better understanding of oxidative reduction reaction. However, the need for further research in this area has become apparent, especially at the level of primary and secondary education.
METHODS OF DETERMINATION OF TOTAL CARBON AND TRANSFORMATION OF THIS PROBLEMATIC TO THE CHEMISTRY EDUCATION
Authors: Hrdlička Jan , Ryp Václav
Published: March 2023

Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in nature, and its chemistry is accompanying the education of chemistry since its beginning. At the same time, chemical equation describing the oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide is the simplest and it can easily be used to explain calculations in chemistry. Therefore, suitable procedures were sought to supplement this curriculum with a practical side.The determination of total carbon is carried out in practice by various methods. Some of them are based on the complete oxidation of carbon compounds to carbon dioxide either by heating to a high temperature in the presence of oxygen or by using various oxidizing agents. The contribution discusses various methods of oxidation of carbon compounds, but also various methods of detection of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the possibilities of transforming these laboratory procedures so that they can be performed in the conditions of school laboratories and at the same time obtain results that would be relevant are discussed.The next part of the work is devoted to the theoretical apparatus, which will allow the calculated data to calculate the carbon content in selected compounds and verification and evaluation of selected procedures in terms of their applicability in teaching at various levels of the schools.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH EXPERIMENT IN PREPARING FUTURE CHEMISTRY TEACHERS
Authors: Richtr Václav , Nová Kristýna
Published: March 2023

The experiment must be safe, must not be time-consuming, must be conclusive and, if it ́s possible, well used to support the theory under discussion.Moreover, when elements of attractiveness are also included, it also gains a motivational function.The right approach to the experiment must be built already with students, future chemistry teachers. The Department of Chemistry at FPE ZČU in Pilsen has been tackling this problem for thelong term as part of the programme “Transforming a research experiment into the teaching of chemistry.” It ́s clear from the publishing activities of staff and students in the Department of Chemistry, that the effort is to maintain an experimental component of teaching while respecting modernisation trends that also honor the economic and environmental requirements.As perfect alternative we can consider the introduction of experimental methods that are almost wastefree, economically inexpensive and meet maximum didactic targets. Laboratory exercises from organic chemistry provide extremely advantageous opportunities. Here, more techniques are very well applied at the same time, and the application of methods for studying the purity of prepared compounds and determining their structure is also in place. TLC has a special position in both analytical and preparatory execution.

É consensual na literatura que as práticas de gestão de pessoas (GP) possuem associação positiva com o bem-estar no trabalho, podendo influenciar a vivência do estado de florescimento dos trabalhadores no contexto laboral. Desse modo, dada a relevância da temática, esta revisão integrativa da literatura objetiva analisar a produção científica sobre as contribuições das práticas de GP para o florescimento no trabalho. Para tanto, efetuaram-se buscas nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Scielo, Spell e Sage, no período de 2011 a 2021. Com base nos critérios de seleção foram trabalhados seis artigos, dos quais analisou-se o delineamento, participantes, instrumentos, objetivos, resultados, definições sobre florescimento no trabalho e práticas de GP, bem como as indicações para estudos futuros, permitindo elaborar uma agenda de pesquisas. Os resultados demonstraram a carência de estudos interseccionando os temas, especialmente a nível nacional. Ainda, buscou-se conhecer os conceitos de florescimento e das práticas de GP (avaliação de desempenho, práticas éticas e espirituais, condições de trabalho e envolvimento no trabalho), constatando-se uma multiplicidade conceitual. Ficou evidenciado que são muitas as contribuições das práticas de GP sobre o bem-estar no trabalho e, também, no florescimento do trabalhador.
