Exploring Identity Competency in the 2022 Revised Korean National Art Curriculum
Authors:   Society for Art Education of Korea, LEE Jooyon
Published: December 2023

Identity was the most actively discussed issue in current society, which was characterized by delocaliza-tion, multiculturalization, and pluralization. Contemporary art has also faced various problems surrounding humans occurring in the same era and provided clues through images to solve them. The starting point was respect for humans, and it always started with a discussion about identity. While witnessing these changes in art, school art education has focused on identity as a starting point for leading an individual's life in the 21st century educational transition. However, identity was a concept that changes and is con-structed, and has gone through various transformations before being converted into an educational competency. Reflecting the overall spirit of the 2022 revised Korean National Curriculum with the vision of ‘leading talent with inclusiveness and creativity,’ ‘initiativeness’ was also emphasized in the 2022 revised Korean National Art Curriculum, which reflected self-identity. autonomy, self-development, self-reflection, self-exploration, self-understanding, self-orientation, and subjectivity understanding were proposed as iden-tity competencies with sub-competencies. This study examined the meaning of identity in education and various discussions related to identity based on the identity issue of contemporary art as a basis for under-standing the identity competency of the 2022 revised Korean National Art Curriculum. This study focused on explaining its meaning in detail and helping people understand and apply it in their educational settings.

Authors: Werth Jacob , Butler Michael , Verghese Jenson , Do Nga , Samp Lacey , Duzguner Remzi , Buetti-Weekly Michele
Published: December 2023

Statistical analysis is used to correlate the thermal decomposition temperature of diverse leaving groups of an avibactam prodrug precursor. SMILES strings and Mordred calculated parameters were leveraged to provide a time-efficient workflow for model development. The resulting models were deployed to predict a novel analog with a higher onset temperature, allowing for an overall safer reagent and proof of concept for the workflow. Interperetation of the descriptors featured in the models and subsequent DFT analysis uncovered univariate trends providing a deeper understanding of the decomposition pathway. Finally, this workflow enabled the development of a predictive model correlating energy output of the precursor analogs for a more comprehensive assessment.

Published: December 2023

An organocatalyzed enantioselective [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement of ammonium ylides is reported. Using an isothiourea Lewis base organocatalyst, azetidinium salts underwent ring expansion to generate 4-alkylideneproline derivatives in high yield and good er. Products are readily recrystallizable to provide er’s of up to >99.5:0.5. Product configuration was established through X-ray crystallography and was opposite that predicted based on existing stereochemical models for this catalyst class. DFT calculations revealed that the facial selectivity of new bond formation is dictated by the pyramidalization of the enolate alpha-carbon in the ring-opening transition state. Notably, it is the catalyst benzylic hydrogen, and not the stereodirecting catalyst Ph, that influences this facial selectivity by stabilizing the developing pyramidalization of the enolate alpha-carbon in the transition state leading to the major enantiomer of product. Finally, under these reaction conditions, a tetrahydroisoquinolinium salt also underwent ring expansion to generate a benzazepine product as a single diastereomer in modest er. This result illustrates that this catalytic strategy for enantioselective [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement can be adapted for use with other synthetically- and medicinally-useful heterocyclic amine scaffolds.
Resilience, Stress and Subjective Well-Being among Medical Co-Assistants during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Anggreini Risa , Meldi Nadia Amanda , Rachmawati Arini , Nabila Syaikha , Iskandarsyah Aulia
Published: December 2023

Medical co-assistants are at significant risk during the COVID-19 pandemic due to exposure to more substantial stressors, including handling patients, academic pressure, and reduced rest times. Moreover, their continuous exposure to disease during the COVID-19 pandemic places them in significant psychological distress. These challenges can potentially affect their subjective well-being. Effective stress management strategies are imperative to reduce susceptibility to adverse consequences. Resilience has been identified as a key protective factor against the detrimental impact of stress. A study involving 102 medical students who became co-assistants during the COVID-19 pandemic investigated the relationship between resilience, stress, and subjective well-being among medical co-assistants. The study found that resilience among medical co-assistants in Indonesia was negatively correlated with stress and negative affect, and positively correlated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and affective balance in subjective well-being. Resilience plays a crucial role in helping individuals recover from challenges and failures, viewing these setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. This positive outlook contributes to increased positive affect and enhances their subjective well-being. Ultimately, this lowers their stress levels and reduces negative aspects that may impede their performance as medical co-assistants.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the determinants of online shopping attitude in Turkey within the lifestyle approach. This study clarifies the features of households associated with online shopping behaviour and this may assist policymakers to develop effective policies such as the improvement of appropriate marketing strategies aimed at keeping current online customers and attracting the new ones. The nationally representative Household Budget Survey (HBS) micro data set obtained from Turkish Statistical Institute for 2019 is used in the empirical analysis. The ordered probit model is employed to determine the factors affecting online shopping attitude of households. The analysis's findings highlight the fact that household income is the factor that has the highest impact on online shopping. Furthermore, gender, age, education level, and financial status of the household head are all key factors in online shopping behaviour, according to the results of the ordered probit model. Last, the job industry code of the household head, household type, ownership status of the house, accessibility to in-store shopping facilities and the existence of the household member who has a saving behaviour and who has a newspaper or magazines habit have statistically significant effects on online shopping behaviour.

Published: December 2023

Background

West Nile virus (WNV), found in Berlin in birds since 2018 and humans since 2019, is a mosquito-borne virus that can manifest in humans as West Nile fever (WNF) or neuroinvasive disease (WNND). However, human WNV infections and associated disease are likely underdiagnosed.

Aim

We aimed to identify and genetically characterise WNV infections in humans and mosquitoes in Berlin.

Methods

We investigated acute WNV infection cases reported to the State Office for Health and Social Affairs Berlin in 2021 and analysed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with encephalitis of unknown aetiology (n = 489) for the presence of WNV. Mosquitoes were trapped at identified potential exposure sites of cases and examined for WNV infection.

Results

West Nile virus was isolated and sequenced from a blood donor with WNF, a symptomatic patient with WNND and a WNND case retrospectively identified from testing CSF. All cases occurred in 2021 and had no history of travel 14 days prior to symptom onset (incubation period of the disease). We detected WNV in Culex pipiens mosquitoes sampled at the exposure site of one case in 2021, and in 2022. Genome analyses revealed a monophyletic Berlin-specific virus clade in which two enzootic mosquito-associated variants can be delineated based on tree topology and presence of single nucleotide variants. Both variants have highly identical counterparts in human cases indicating local acquisition of infection.

Conclusion

Our study provides evidence that autochthonous WNV lineage 2 infections occurred in Berlin and the virus has established an endemic maintenance cycle.

Objective: To see the hematological manifestations in patients with aplastic anemia presenting with hypocellular marrow. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Pak Emirates Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: January 2022 to June 2022. Material & Methods: Using non-probability consecutive sampling was done. All the patients were diagnosed of Aplastic anemia using standard established criteria. All the patients with hypocellular marrow without any granuloma, fibrosis or abnormal cells were included. A detailed history was taken from the patients, proforma was filled by consultants or trained doctors. Patients’ interview was followed by Bone Marrow Examination. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 17.0. Descriptive statistics included frequency distribution of qualitative variables and calculation of mean with range for quantitative variables was done. Limitations were a lack of molecular testing to exclude the inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. Results: A total of 247 bone marrows were done in one year which were included in the study. Out of which ten patients had aplastic anemia and one patient had pure red cell aplasia which is the early form of aplastic anemia. Frequency of aplastic anemia in our study during the study period was found to be 4.45%. Minimum age of presentation is 5 years and maximum is 78 years with mean age of 43 years. Gender distribution is as 6 were males and 5 females out of total 11 aplastic anemia patients. In haematological manifestations 7 patients presented with history of bleeding from nose and gum. While rest of the 4 patients had fever, palpitations, breathing difficulties and generalized weakness. Conclusion: As we concluded that predisposing factors like younger age group and male predominance are leading toward genetic inheritance in aplastic anemia etiology especially among the South Asian population. The most common and foremost presentation in these patients was bleeding so aplastic anemia should be excluded when patients present with bleeding, fever and palpitations., Therefore, it is far better to early diagnosis and treat the patients to minimize the disease evolution.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Paediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) of National Institute of Cardiovascular diseases, Karachi, Pakistan. Period: November 2022 to May 2023. Material & Methods: We included patients of both genders and any age who underwent open or closed heart surgery for congenital heart defects. All patients undergoing CHD repairs were monitored for the total duration of PCICU stay. The development of AKI was labeled as per RIFLE criteria, and management thereafter was performed as per standard institutional protocols. Results: In a total of 93 patients with CHD, there were 50 (53.8%) males and 43 (46.2%) females. The mean age was 9.71±9.14 year ranging between 3 months to 60 years. There were 6 (6.5%) patients who developed AKI post-surgery. Overall, mortality was noted in 7 (7.5%) patients. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time were significantly higher among patients who developed post-surgery AKI (<0.001). Moreover, post-surgery AKI was significantly associated with intra-operative hypotension (p<0.001), post-operative hypotension (p<0.001), and post-operative sepsis (p<0.001). It was also found that AKI had significant association with higher post-operative inotropic scores (p<0.001), prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation (p<0.001), and length of PCICU stay (p<0.001). Mortality had significant association with AKI (33.3% vs. 5.7%, p=0.013). Conclusion: We noted the incidence of AKI among patient who underwent cardiac repairs to be 6.5%. CPB time and ACC time were significantly higher among patients who developed post-surgery AKI. Post-surgery AKI was significantly associated with intra-operative hypotension, post-operative hypotension, and post-operative sepsis. Mortality was significant high among cases that had AKI.

Reading Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" through Lefebvre's Spatial Theory
Authors: AR Gamze
Published: December 2023

Allen Ginsberg, a prominent American poet and writer, is widely recognized for his significant contribution to American literature by creating his authentic style and as a critical figure in the Beat Generation. This literary movement emerged in the 1950s as a response to the time's oppressive and conservative societal norms, including the fear of nuclear war, the rise of consumerism, and the stifling conformity of the Cold War era. Ginsberg's literary voice captured the essence of this movement, expressing its countercultural values through his descriptions and language, which were often explicit and straightforward. This study examines "Howl" through the lens of Lefebvre's Spatial Theory, which provides a critical framework for analyzing the spatial dimensions of social life. By applying Lefebvre's theory, this analysis reveals the spatial dimensions of the poem, including the relationship between space and time, space and ideology, and the relationship between poetry and language. The use of spatial theory in literary analysis offers a unique perspective on the social and cultural context of the time, providing insights into how spatial and ideological power relations are reflected in literature. This study will contribute to a sociological commentary on American literature as it explores the role of space and place in the production and reception of literary works. It also provides an analytical framework for understanding the spatial dimensions of social life in 1950s America.
Âşık’ın Ölüm Tasavvuru: Âşık Çelebi Dîvânı’nda Ölümle İlgili Âdet ve Gelenekler
Authors: KARAMAN Gülay
Published: December 2023

Klasik Türk şiirinde şairlerin en fazla rağbet ettiği konuların başında ölüm gelir. Mersiyeler başta olmak üzere ölüm üzerine yazılmış tarihler ve manzum mezar kitabeleri, klasik Türk edebiyatında ölüm konusunun müstakil olarak ele alındığı manzumelerdir. Bunların dışında dîvânlarda yer alan diğer şiirlerde de ölüm temasının sıklıkla işlendiği görülür. 16. yüzyıl şair ve münşilerinden olup Meşâirü’ş-şuarâ adlı tezkiresiyle tanınan Âşık Çelebi (öl. 979/1572) şiirlerinde ölüm temasına yer vermiş şahsiyetlerden biridir. Âşık Çelebi Dîvânı’nda beyit ve kelime boyutundaki kullanım ve çağrışımlar dışında 14. kasidenin yaklaşık otuz beyitlik son kısmı ile 52. gazel müstakil olarak ölüm düşüncesine ayrılmıştır. Şairin ölümle ilgili duygu, düşünce ve hayalleri klasik Türk şiiri geleneği çerçevesinde ve genellikle âşık, sevgili, rakîb üçgeninde kendisini gösterir. Ölümle ilgili kullanımlar, kimi zaman bireysel olarak şairin hayatı ve psikolojisine ışık tutar; bazen de toplumsal yönüyle çeşitli âdet, gelenek, inanç ve uygulamalara yer vermesiyle sosyal hayat, kültür ve değerler bağlamında önemli bilgiler ihtiva eder. Şairin ölüme bakışında İslâm dini ve tasavvuf düşüncesinin etkili olduğu açıktır. Bununla birlikte başta matem şekilleri olmak üzere bazı âdet ve geleneklerde az da olsa eski Türk âdet ve gelenekleri ile batıl inanmaların etkisi görülür. Her hâlükârda hem bir birey olarak Âşık Çelebi’nin hem geleneğin bir temsilcisi olan şairin hem de Osmanlı toplumunun ölüm karşısındaki tavrını belki felsefesini iç içe geçmiş anlam katmanları hâlinde bu örneklerde görmek mümkündür. Bu makalede, Âşık Çelebi Dîvânı’nda ölüm düşüncesi ve ölümle ilgili âdet ve gelenekler tespit edilip incelenecektir. Araştırmanın amacı, Âşık Çelebi Dîvânı’nda ölümün yansımalarını ortaya koymak, Dîvân örnekleminde ölümle ilgili âdet ve gelenekleri incelemektir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak Dîvân’da ölüm temasının ele alındığı beyitler tespit edilerek ortaya çıkan malzeme içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenecektir. Çalışmanın aynı zamanda klasik Türk edebiyatı ve sosyal hayat bağlamındaki araştırmalara katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
Metatext of a beatnik “autobiographic text” (Jack Kerouac’s “Big Sur”)
Authors: Zhilyakov Nikita Alexandrovich , Dotsenko Elena Georgievna
Published: December 2023

The article considers Jack Kerouac’s “Big Sur” (1962) as an autobiographical novel that marks the transition of the beatnik writer’s work to postmodernism. The aim of the research is to determine the significance of metatext impact on the genre characteristics of the autobiographical novel. The article attempts to answer the question whether the structure and content integrity of autobiography as a genre remains in interaction with elements of postmodern poetics. For the first time in this study, both Kerouac’s novel and ‘autobiographic text’ (i.e., a work characterized by autobiographism) are considered on the background of the transition of the poetics from late modernism to postmodernism. The paper analyzes the forms and content of meta-textual commentary in “Big Sur”, which includes the author’s appeal to ‘early’ Jack Kerouac, reflections on beat-generation, extensive citation and self-citation. The results obtained allow us to state that the author of the work deliberately explicates himself in “Big Sur” with the help of various levels of metatext. At the same time, it can be stated that, being modified, the autobiographical novel does not abandon its main features in the postmodern version.
교사의 학생평가 역량 탐색: 교사 자기평가와 포트폴리오 평가 방식 간 차이를 중심으로
Authors:   Korean Educational Research Association, Kim Nayoung
Published: December 2023

최근의 교육개혁의 맥락에서 교수･학습과 평가의 질적 제고를 위한 교사의 학생평가 역량을 강조해왔다. 교사의 학생평가 역량을 보다 타당하고 신뢰할 수 있게 측정하는 것이 중요함에도 불구하고, 그동안 교사의 학생평가 역량을 살펴본 선행연구가 거의 없었다. 이 연구는 자기보고식 설문조사를 바탕으로 한 교사의 자기평가 결과와 포트폴리오 평가를 활용하여 전문가 집단이 평정한 한국 교사의 학생평가 역량을 실증적으로 비교하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 중등교사 39명을 대상으로 교사의 실제 평가활동을 반영한 학생평가에 관한 교사포트폴리오를 한 학기에 걸쳐 수집하였다. 분석결과, 교사의 학생평가역량의 5개 하위요소에서 모두 자기평가 결과가 포트폴리오 평가 결과보다 높게 나타나 교사들은 스스로의 평가역량에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 교사 포트폴리오를 활용한 평가는 다양한 평가이론을 이해하고, 다른 교사들의 평가방법을 공유하며, 교사들의 학생평가 활동 전반에 대한 성찰의 기회를 제공한다는 점에서 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 고교학점제와 2022 개정교육과정의 본격적인 도입을 앞두고 있는 현 시점에서 교사의 학생평가 역량 향상을 위한 실질적이고 효과적인 교사교육에 활용할 수 있는 가능성에 대해 탐색하였다.
Freiheit ohne Fremdbestimmung? Mündigkeit von Anfang an?

Freedom without Heteronomy? Autonomy from the very Beginning? The Discomfort with Upbringing in Discourses on Education, Participation, and Children’s Rights

On the basis of educational theories on the relationship between autonomy and heteronomy as well as on the legitimacy of guardianship, discourses are problematized in which a strong discomfort with upbringing is expressed. The attempt is made to show that by avoiding the concept of upbringing, the general rejection of generational power structures, and the central idea of the autonomous child, fundamental pedagogical problems are lost sight of.

Education and the Inevitability of the Right to Look

The essay discusses the right to look as an outstanding perspective. In Education, the right to look – this can be demonstrated with the Bildungsroman – is driven by the premises of an ongoing critical reflection of what counts as Bildung, and of what justifies the methods leading to conclusions about this question, and it supports them.

Propuesta de clasificación de las dipteridaceae (Filicales), con un atlas de las especies argentinas
Authors: Herbest Rafael
Published: December 2023

En el primer capítulo se analiza la historia de la Familia y de algunos géneros de las Dipteridaceae, demostrando la necesidad de reordenar y redefinir el grupo. Se brindan también algunas ideas sobre la posible "evolución morfológica" de los géneros, basados en la venación (fig. 1 ) y en la disección de la lámina foliar (figs. 2-4 ).

En el segundo capítulo se propone un nuevo esquema clasificatorio que comprende 5 géneros (inclusive el actual Dipteris). En cada caso se brinda una "caracterización" genérica y/o subgenérica. Los géneros Thaumatopteris, Clathropteris (Clathropteroides en este trabajo por razones nomenclatoriales) son utilizados a nivel subgenérico, mientras que se eliminan como no válidos a Apachea, Kendenlikya, Oishia y Protorhipis, justificando estas exclusiones. Asimismo, se considera que Podoloma y Scoreshya no pertenecen a la Familia Dipteridaceae. El nuevo esquema clasificatorio está resumido en una clave.

En el capítulo siguiente se ofrece un "atlas" de las Dipteridaceae de la Argentina; para cada especie se incluye la diagnosis, datos geográficos, estratigráficos, etc. y uno o varios esquemas ilustrativos. Del elenco total citado en la literatura, se eliminan, por sinonimia o rechazo, a: Hausmannia dentada, Thaumatopteris pusilla, Thaumatopteris dunkeri y Dictyophyllum spectabile.

En la última sección se ofrecen unos pocos datos de distribución geográfica (que se acompaña con un mapa) y datos estratigráficos (que se acompañan con un Cuadro), de las Dipteridaceae de la Argentina.
