The known temperature dependences of the modulus of normal elasticity E, mainly of metals with different types of crystal lattices, were analyzed. The dependences of E/E0 on T/Tm and on T/Tpt are considered, where E0 is the modulus of elasticity extrapolated to 0 K, and Tm and Tpt are the melting and phase transition temperatures of the material, respectively. The difference in shape and slope of temperature dependences E/E0 of materials with bcc and fcc crystal lattices from materials with hcp crystal lattice is shown. If for the first two types of lattices, the dependences can be described by a second degree polynomial with coefficients close to 0,21 and 0,3, then the temperature dependences of the modulus of elasticity of titanium, zirconium, and its alloys are mostly linear and are significantly lower than the first ones due to the anisotropy of temperature changes of the lattice parameters a and c. The dependence of E/E0 on the c/a ratio is plotted for a number of hcp metals for two levels of T/Tpt, and the area of the best c/a values for creating materials with increased thermal elasticity is shown. The relationship between the dependences of E/E0 on E/E0 and the ratio of diffusion coefficients on E/E0 and examples of their use for the analysis of deformation mechanisms at high temperatures are shown. Keywords: temperature dependence of the modulus of elasticity, crystal lattic parameters.

Authors: Budayová Zuzana , Ludvigh Cintulová Lucia , Mrosková Lenka
Published: June 2023

Aim. The aim of the research was to analyse the burnout rate of these social workers and nurses, as well as to determine the relationship between burnout syndrome and other important factors, including lifestyle, stress, resistance to stress and other selected demographic indicators.
Methods. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to collect burnout data in 2021 during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The research sample consisted of 623 women aged 35-55 who work in social services facilities for the elderly and nurses working in the geriatrics department at a hospital in the western part of Slovakia.
Results. Research has shown that lifestyle has a significant impact on the development of burnout syndrome in connection with the quality of work and personal relationships, which can help eliminate feelings of frustration, exhaustion and personal failure in the workplace. Burnout affects social workers regardless of age and education, but with older age and length of practice in the same facility, the risk of manifestations of burnout increases. Significant differences in burnout rates between social workers and nurses in the individual dimensions of exhaustion, depersonalisation and professional attitudes were confirmed. High levels of exhaustion have even shown an increased risk of alcohol consumption among these workers.
Conclusion. The development of chronic stress in health care workers can put them at risk of burnout, which is characterized by emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) in interactions with patients and social clients, and low levels of personal accomplishment (PA) in social work and health care.
Undergraduate Translation Students’ Perceptions of Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Burkšaitienė Nijolė
Published: June 2023

Aim. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges at all levels of education. Higher education institutions across the globe had to move traditional campus-based learning online as it was the only available option to continue academic activities. Students’ perceptions of online learning during the Covid-19 crisis have been investigated in many fields of study, however, little known research has been conducted in the field of Translation studies. To fill in the gap, small-scale research was carried out at a University in Lithuania. It aimed to examine undergraduate translation students’ perceptions of learning online during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods. To carry out the research, qualitative methodology was used. The data was drawn from 23 translation students’ essays and analysed using inductive content analysis.
Results. The study resulted in the identification and description of two major categories and five subcategories that revealed the students’ experience of online learning during the pandemic and their perceptions of its positive and negative impacts.
Conclusion. The results demonstrate that all study participants perceived online learning both as a positive and negative experience with the number of the student-reported negative impacts being slightly bigger than that of the positive ones. The findings of this research are important; yet they do not allow for wide scale generalisations as the study was conducted on a small sample.
Originality. The present study contributes to the research in the field by providing new insights into the impacts of online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic as seen from the students’ perspective.

Published: June 2023

Aim. Before COVID-19, training institutions rarely used eLearning to improve Elected Representatives' (ERs) skills in rural development who come from vernacular social and academic backgrounds. Online education has numerous upsides, but there is always some controversy about whether or not every learner will benefit from the same approach. The study was conducted in Tripura, a North-Eastern state of India, examine the efficacy of online training among the ERs responsible for extending the rural local government services to the common people.

Methods. This study utilised the qualitative technique of focus group discussion to acquire a comprehensive grasp of the positive and negative opinions of ERs regarding their experiences with online training. Samples were collected from all the districts and all three tiers of rural government.

Results. The study is a pioneering work to evaluate views of ERs on e-learning. Lack of technical support, boredom in training sessions, and lack of allowances for internet use, transportation to headquarters for training, and refreshments contributed the trainees' negative experiences. Further, training materials were poorly presented and failed to convey the intended message.

Conclusions. This study will enable trainers, administrators, and policymakers to reengineer their andragogic structures of future grassroots online training programmes for higher efficacy. ERs dislike e-learning, and government regulations that favour classroom instruction worsen this issue. Policy initiatives to reconcile demand and supply, such as high-quality capacity building for Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) ERs with vernacular academics, are needed to achieve practical results.

Authors: Judák Viliam , Petrikovičová Lucia , Grežo Henrich , Akimjak Amantius
Published: June 2023

Aim. From the point of view of the period of creation and historical development, we consider the streets of the historical core of Trnava to be the most dynamic, and why we focused on street name changes in the period from 1900 to the present in the area of the historical core of the city.
Methods. As part of the methodology the classification by urbanonym, with the help of which we included the names of streets and squares into individual categories. A classification was used that divides urbanonyms into socially motivated and socially non-motivated, which are further divided into several subcategories. Urbanonyms are further divided into domestic and foreign. This classification is the most up-to-date of those mentioned and includes a category of religious names.
Results. The category of socially significant street names, are divided at a lower level into the categories of politics, art and culture, church, science, crafts and trade, historical names and institutions. The most numerous is the group of names in the art and culture category, which includes 70 domestic and 10 foreign names, which together represent 25.89% of the total number of streets in the city. There are 15 streets in the categories of politics, church and science (4.85% of all 309 streets).
Conclusion. Currently, Trnava can be characterised as a modern, dynamic city with a great influence on its surroundings. The restrictive measures taken in connection with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 greatly affected the tourism sector and meant permanent closure for many businesses.

Published: June 2023

Aim. The article is aimed at determining the indicators of psychological safety inherent in volunteers with signs of emotional exhaustion in combat zones.
Methods. The study included the following methods: a) testing: Emotional Exhaustion Questionnaire (EEQ), Psychological Safety of Individual Questionnaire; b)statistical analysis: methods of descriptive statistics (percentage, minimum, maximum, range, standard error, mean, standard deviation). The group of respondents included 48 people, who were involved in volunteer activities in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine from March 2022 up to November 2022.
Results. It was determined that the largest subgroup in the general group of respondents were volunteers with a high level of emotional exhaustion (46%) – these are people who feel general tension and do not remember the last time they experienced positive emotions. Among all the indicators of psychological safety, the indicators of moral-communicative and internal comfort turned out to be the least developed.
Conclusions. Volunteer groups need specially organized psychological help and support, just like military or military medics. The constant danger of the activity, the need to be in contact with different people, moral fatigue lead to rapid emotional exhaustion and can causehealth disorders or even cost the volunteer's life.
Reflexión sobre la población penal juvenil en la temática de empleo: desafíos y oportunidades
Authors: Villegas Cascante Lucía
Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza las dificultades de empleo en la Población Penal Juvenil (PPJ), producto de la problemática estructural de desempleo, las carencias del Estado para hacer efectivo lo establecido en las políticas públicas, la situación de vulnerabilidad y discriminación dadas las contrariedades que enfrentan como grupo etario y las implicaciones de la sanción penal. Se desarrolla a modo de investigación documental descriptiva, apoyada en el proceso de elaboración del Trabajo Final de Graduación “Empleo digno y nuevas oportunidades: construcción de una red de actores clave para el empleo, en favor de la población Penal Juvenil del Programa de Sanciones Alternativas”. El análisis expone la importancia de intervenir en las oportunidades de empleo digno para la PPJ, como parte de una adecuada integración social, según lo establece la Política Penitenciaria, así como la relevancia del empleo desde lo económico- material, y la significancia en los ámbitos emocional, familiar y social. Se concluye que la oportunidad de empleo digno disminuye la exclusión social favoreciendo el desistimiento de una vida delictiva, dadas las trasformaciones del trabajo actual y su influencia en la organización social; sin embargo, para generar estas oportunidades, son necesarios procesos de sensibilización tanto para la población empleadora como para la población en general, que permitan desestigmatizar a la PPJ, ya que viven una serie de estereotipos, interiorizados por la persona y aceptados como parte de su identidad, lo cual limita sus posibilidades de desarrollo personal.

Performances of selected European economies in achieving their inflation targets: The non-stationary discrete choice model approach
Authors: Ješić Milutin , Mladenović Zorica , Jakšić Miomir
Published: June 2023

Measurement of the performances of inflation targeting (IT) frameworks has been of interest to researchers ever since IT began to be implemented as a monetary policy strategy. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of domestic and international determinants on success in achieving inflation targets of the selected European economies. Our methodological framework is based on the application of a non-stationary discrete choice model. For this research, four European economies are considered: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Serbia. Their results regarding IT policy can provide a useful benchmark for similar economies that are either planning to adopt the same monetary policy framework or have begun to apply it recently. Our findings indicate that IT success is primarily under the control of monetary policymakers by key policy rate mechanism, but that the impact of additional domestic and international factors that are not easily managed by the central bank like budget balance, exchange rate, growth rate, current account balance, labor cost growth, loans, Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices, inflation, and GDP gap of the Eurozone, can be also significant. Consequently, monetary policymakers need to take into account a wide range of inflation factors, including foreign spillover effects, so that tools for their neutralization can be helpful in achieving the targeted goals.
Periodical measurement of multidimensional phenomena
Authors: Müller-Frączek Iwona
Published: June 2023

Synthesizing multidimensional phenomena such as well-being in the form of composite indicators has been gaining popularity in recent years. The Mazziotta-Pareto Index is one of the methods of constructing non-compensatory composite indices. The paper proposes a modification of this method, which (unlike the original) enables periodical measurements and can be used to compare countries in research on East European transition. The essence of this modification is the use of anti-pattern normalization, during which only current data is used, and yet after normalization, the indicators are in a certain way comparable over time. The Anti-Pattern Normalized Mazziotta-Pareto Index (APMPI), unlike the original, does not change the previously determined values after the inclusion of new data. Both the imperfection of the original approach and the new proposal are illustrated by an empirical example. Indices of well-being for the OECD countries are constructed. The example shows that although AMPI and APMPI values are not comparable, the rankings based on them are not very different.
Elementos del vestuario: las fíbulas prerromanas halladas en los yacimientos fenicios de Andalucía
Authors: Martín-Ruiz Juan-Antonio
Published: June 2023

Centramos nuestra atención en el estudio de los distintos tipos de fíbulas prerromanas que han sido halladas en los yacimientos fenicios de Andalucía a lo largo del I milenio a. C., y que suman poco más de dos centenares de ejemplares. Creemos que, aunque en algún enclave colonial de la propia península se procedió a su fabricación, estos aditamentos no fueron un elemento habitual en sus vestimentas dado el amplio uso que hicieron de las túnicas, de manera que su hallazgo en estos enclaves orientales se explicaría por sus contactos con las poblaciones indígenas con las que se relacionaron, algunos de cuyos individuos se instalaron en estos enclaves.
Siderophore cycling in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Authors:   , Li Jingxuan
Published: June 2023

Across large regions of the surface ocean, the essential micronutrient iron (Fe) limits the growth of microbes, including phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria. In order to adapt to chronic low Fe conditions, some heterotrophic bacteria are able to produce siderophores, which are small organic ligands with extraordinarily high stability constant for Fe(III), to facilitate Fe uptake. The recently developed mass spectrometry based techniques allow for the characterization and quantification of siderophores in seawater for the first time, and the use of siderophores as biomarker of Fe limitation on heterotrophic bacteria. However, there has been no depth resolved transect data on siderophores distribution, and the prevalence, turnover, and of controlling factor of siderophores in the ocean remain unknown. In this thesis, I report the distribution of siderophores in the upper 1000 m of the US GEOTRACES GP15 Pacific Meridional Transect. Siderophore concentration ranges from 0-70 pM, and there is no correlation between the concentration of siderophores and dissolved Fe (dFe, <0.2 μm). In contrast, most siderophore hotspots, defined by concentration that is higher than 20 pM, are associated with a dFe:NO3- ratio that is lower than 50 μmol/mol, suggesting that the distribution of siderophores which are N rich molecules might be controlled by dFe:NO3- ratio. In the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, hotspots of siderophores are found at 200-400 m. In the upwelling regions where nitracline is lifted to shallower depths, the hotspots are also lifted, to up to 20 m. The transect is dominated by marinobactins, a suite of non polar siderophores with a peptidic head group for Fe binding and a fatty acid chain. In addition, we found that the same siderophore could bind either Fe or Al, which is the first time Al-siderophores are reported in seawater samples. The hotspots of siderophore could be explained by either a dynamic turnover, or slow turnover and accumulation. To investigate the turnover of siderophores, I report the measurement of 57Fe uptake from siderophores by heterotrophic bacteria at Station ALOHA, which is representative for the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre - using enclosed bottle incubations. Between 200 and 400 m, we found almost complete consumption of 57Fe-siderophores for all of the siderophores over a period of 5 days. At the end of the incubation, approximately 60% of the added siderophores were present as nonmetallated apo siderophores. The presence of apo siderophores demonstrates that the drawdown of 57Fe-siderophore was largely due to Fe uptake from siderophores. Therefore, heterotrophic bacteria are Fe limited at 200-400 m, which is in accordance with the high concentration of siderophores in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Our results reveal that the zone of potential Fe limitation in the ocean extends well below the euphotic zone and includes oligotrophic gyres that are not classically Fe limited.

Numerical simulation of punching shear in RC slabs subjected to elevated temperatures
Authors: Sadaghian Hamed , Mirrezaei Seyed Saeed , Farzam Masood
Published: June 2023

Studies on the punching shear of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs exposed to fire are very limited. To address this shortcoming, a series of numerical analyses were carried out to study the effects of several parameters on punching shear behaviour of RC slabs under fire conditions. Variables of the study were: (i) gravity load levels before exposure to fire; (ii) presence or absence of shear reinforcement; (iii) duration of fire (at 30 min intervals), (iv) direction of fire (top and bottom face of slab); and (v) thermal conductivity limits. For this purpose, first, the shear response of a slab–column assembly failing in brittle punching shear under ambient temperature, chosen from the literature, was captured and, subsequently, sequential coupled thermomechanical analyses were carried out using the finite-element software ATENA. Results of the study show that the direction of fire significantly affects the deformation pattern and punching resistance of RC slabs; thermal conductivity plays a minimal role in this regard. Exposure to fire causes the reinforcements to yield at load levels well below the failure load. Finally, shear reinforcement has almost no effect on fire resistance of RC slabs. It is concluded that it is acceptable to ignore shear reinforcements in fire design of RC slabs.

Wheat is nowadays the most important source of food on earth. Many pest species have been identified that affect wheat yield and quality negatively. This study was conducted to identify harmful and beneficial insect (predator) species and of the distribution of Sunn pest in wheat cultivation areas in the districts (Siirt province Merkez, Kurtalan, Eruh, Tillo, Şirvan, Pervari, and Baykan) of Siirt Province, Türkiye in 2018 and 2019. Samplings were taken periodically for 1-2 weeks from April to July. The sweep nets, frame, pitfall trap, and visual control methods were used for sampling. At the end of the study, 42 species belonging to 6 orders and 25 families were determined. The distributions of the species were recorded as 27 species belonging to 12 families in Coleoptera, 10 species belonging to 7 families in Hemiptera, 2 species belonging to 2 families in Neuroptera, and 1 species belonging to each family in Hymenoptera, Orthoptera and Diptera. The most common and abundant species: the main pest Eurygaster integriceps Puton, 1881 (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), the secondary pests Aelia acuminata (Linnaeus, 1758), Dolycoris baccarum (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Cephus pygmaeus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer, 1773, (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) were determined. In the study, a total of 16 species were identified, which is the first record for the local fauna of Siirt province. The highest average density of E. integriceps (2 adult + nymph / m2) was found in the Garzan and Gozpinari locations of the Kurtalan district. Besides, among the beneficial species, general predators Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836) and Coccinella septempunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) are remark as the most common species

Published: June 2023

This study aims to determine the species and evaluate the genetic diversity of the pathogenic and nonpathogenic Rhizoctonia spp. and anastomosis groups (AG) from wheat plants and rhizosphere soils in Turkey. Rhizoctonia species were isolated from plants and rhizosphere soils in wheat fields in 5 provinces in the Central Anatolian Region of Türkiye. As a result of the isolations, a total of 88 multinucleate (MN) and binucleate (BN) Rhizoctonia isolates were obtained. Identifications of the isolates were determined by rDNA-ITS sequence analyses. The identified isolates belonged to MN Waitea circinata var. zeae, W. circinata var. oryzae, W. circinata var. circinata, MN Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1, AG 2-2, AG 3, AG 4-HGII, AG 4-HGIII, AG 5, AG 8, AG 11 and BN AG A, AG DI, AG E, AG G, AG H, AG I, AG I-like and AG K. The most isolated group was W. circinata var. circinata. In the pathogenicity studies, the most virulent group was determined as R. solani AG 4. Among the binucleate isolates, groups other than R. cerealis AG DI were not found to be pathogenic. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic trees of isolates were constructed from rDNA-ITS sequences. As a result of this study, the regional distribution of MN and BN Rhizoctonia AG isolates in important wheat production areas in the Central Anatolia Region, Türkiye was determined. In addition, this study is the first comprehensive study in which the genetic diversity of Rhizoctonia AGs isolates obtained from wheat and rhizosphere soils in the region was evaluated with a molecular approach.
Impact of Emotional Unavailability on the Happiness Level of Indian Couples and the Happiness Pie Chart as a Tool Towards Resolution: Qualitative Analysis of Case Studies
Authors:   Bye Tense 1, F.F., 34, Millennium Business Centre, Corner Market Malviya Nagar, New Delhi 110017, India, Khanna Nisha
Published: June 2023

Life is essentially an emotional experience; without them, it is difficult to thrive. In a marriage, feelings help to foster open communication, mutual trust, and honesty. Family relationships, friendships, and a person’s overall development are all impacted by happiness levels. Particularly in India, couples look on their partners as their main source of joy. Displays of affection may look cold and distant when one spouse avoids discussing their emotions, leading to sudden spousal and marital unhappiness. A person’s emotional unavailability may have its roots in events from their upbringing. People in India frequently have a complacent attitude with a partner’s lack of emotional availability. A culture where people do not feel secure or need to communicate about their emotions could develop as a result of becoming accustomed to it. It may be challenging for a couple to confront their feelings and forge a connection when one spouse exhibits emotional vulnerability in front of the other because doing so could be interpreted as weakness. This absence of emotional connection has an impact on the person’s degree of happiness. When one spouse is unhappy, the couple fights, which worsens their mental health as a whole and opens the door to divorce or separation. The emotionally unavailable person’s role in the unhappy marriage and partner is highlighted in the current qualitative analysis of the case studies. The focus is on the 40% of intentional activities to promote happiness as indicated in the Happiness Pie Chart, which sequentially increases individual besides marital happiness and satisfaction, because the spouse is emotionally unable to offer support and comfort.
Justice Delayed but not Denied: The Prosecution of Thomas Kwoyelo for International Crimes in Uganda
Authors: Nanyunja Brenda , Nortje Windell
Published: June 2023

This article investigates the challenges of the application of international law in a domestic setting as depicted in the ongoing trial of Thomas Kwoyelo. Kwoyelo, a former child soldier and commander in the Lord's Resistance Army, is being prosecuted for the commission inter alia of murder, kidnapping with intent to murder, and pillaging, all as war crimes and crimes against humanity under International Humanitarian Law, Customary International Law and the Penal Code Act of Uganda. He is currently standing trial at the International Crimes Division of the High Court of Uganda. This trial is a unique test for the Ugandan judiciary, as it is faced with its first prosecution of an individual charged with crimes under international law. In a bid to apply international law domestically the Court has faced several challenges which have disabled the progress of the trial on many levels, arguably at the expense of the accused and the victims at large. The article primarily seeks to analyse the capability of the court to prosecute Kwoyelo for the commission of international crimes as well as to examine the challenges faced by the Court. The history of the conflict will be examined. This will be followed by an overview of the judicial hurdles faced by the Ugandan State in eventually charging Kwoyelo. The article will then analyse the present challenges faced by the Court. Finally, several recommendations are offered.

Les équipes médicales du SSA soutiennent et s’entraînent régulièrement avec les troupes de montagne. Elles demeurent en capacité de prendre en charge une urgence médicale, grâce à des moyens matériels spécifiques. En cas de nécessité, le personnel en charge du soutien médical fait appel aux unités de secours en montagne qui sont spécifiquement dédiées à la prise en charge médicale initiale et au transfert vers des structures d’accueil adaptées. La complémentarité de ces deux exercices se retrouve dans son histoire, mais également dans la prise en charge d’accidents multi-victimes en montagne, dont nous détaillerons les plus récents. Certains principes du secours en montagne sont très proches de la médecine de l’avant : l’engagement physique, l’environnement de travail hostile, des équipes restreintes, l’utilisation de matériel léger et ergonomique ou encore les élongations vers les structures d’accueil. Des échanges sont réalisés régulièrement à travers des formations, des exercices ou des travaux de recherche communs. Une meilleure connaissance de nos compétences réciproques permettrait de fluidifier la prise en charge de nos militaires en montagne.

This protocol allows one to convert ssDNA to dsDNA oligos. In principle, one can buy two complementary oligos and anneal them. However, there are a few cases where randomized bases are desired, and therefore complementary oligos can not be ordered. The protocol works similarly to PCR, except that the reaction is not performed at the high temperature of typical thermocycling, because the oligos are short and their melting temperature can be in the order of the extension temperature of high-fidelity polymerases.

Socio-political Situation in the Border Regions of Donbas at the Beginning of Russian Aggression in 2014
Authors:   State Border Service of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Ananin Oleh
Published: June 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the need to study the methods of hybrid warfare used by the Russian aggressor against Ukraine. In the spring of 2014, illegal anti-Ukrainian protest actions were organized by Russian special services in the border regions of Donbas, which were supported by local collaborators. Forced seizure of administrative buildings of local authorities continued. Pro-Russian groups of the Ukrainian local population prevented the anti-terrorist operation in every possible way, in particular, they blocked units of the Armed Forces and obstructed the work of law enforcement agencies. In the captured territories, local collaborators managed, with the assistance of Russian curators, to hold an illegal so-called “referendum” on secession from Ukraine, which was a political method of legalizing actions aimed at destroying Ukrainian statehood in certain areas of Donbas. All of the above took place in conditions of complete loss of control over the socio-political situation in the border areas on the part of local authorities, law enforcement agencies, and the complication of the involvement of Ukrainian military formations in the actions. Ukrainian historical experience has confirmed the general world practice of armed conflicts, during which the transformation of social confrontation into an open armed conflict occurs under the influence of certain socio-political conditions. The only difference is that these conditions have their own specific characteristics for each armed conflict. At the same time, relations with the Russian Federation continued to worsen in the sphere of ensuring the appropriate level of border security on the common section of the state border. Despite Ukraine’s efforts to stabilize the situation politically, the Russian Federation did not take appropriate measures and continued to act as a destabilizing factor in the border regions of the Ukrainian Donbas.

Authors: Futaqi Sauqi , Yenuri Ali Ahmad
Published: June 2023

Ritual practice is a basic feature in the religious life of a Muslim. Therefore, students in elementary schools are invited to practice religious rituals in learning the religion of Islam. Islamic Religious Education teachers try to teach students how to express their religion through rituals because ritual practice is a form of ritual communication. This study aims to describe and interpret the forms of religious rituals carried out in elementary schools, as well as communication models of religious rituals in building multicultural awareness. This study uses a qualitative-phenomenological approach. Data was collected by interviewing 18 informants in depth. Informants consisted of principals, religious teachers, parents and students. In addition, data were also obtained from several school documents. The research location is Setia Budhi Elementary School, East Java. Data analysis was carried out in three stages; data condensation, data display and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the communication of religious rituals that were expressed through Islamic Religious Education learning contained social messages from childhood. It can function as multicultural learning because the ritual communication is not only intended as a religious expression but as an expression of harmony and togetherness because they can cooperate with each other in celebrating their respective religious rituals. Although there is an exclusive side of a religion, such as prayer, fasting and others, in other rituals, they are able to communicate well, so that it contains learning content to respect each other.

Background: In India, persons with hearing impairment who benefit from hearing aids can acquire a driving license.  The law mandates helmet use while driving two-wheelers. Using a hearing aid with a helmet on may be a challenge, but it is paramount to understand the difficulties the hearing aid users face.
Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used to study the experience of hearing aid users who ride two-wheelers. A checklist was developed and administered to 15 individuals with hearing impairment who ride two-wheelers. The checklist had 11 questions under three domains; 'helmet related,' 'comfort related', and 'driving/ listening related.  The study was carried out in and around Bangalore. The data was collected through the interview method.
Results: The subjects reported difficulties in the comfort-related and driving/listening-related domains. Many participants felt the need to modify the helmet design to suit hearing aid users. They also felt a need for a special program for driving mode in the hearing aids.
Conclusions: Hearing-impaired two-wheeler riders face problems in localization, fear of hearing aid falling, and sweating using hearing aids while driving.  It affects them on two fronts.  One, it may pose a risk to others or the hearing impaired themselves on the road. Second, avoiding riding two-wheelers may limit their rights and mobility.

Published: June 2023

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de bulunan devlet ile vakıf üniversitelerinde eczacılık üzerine eğitim veren bölümlerin, lisans müfredatlarında bulunan, kalite yönetimi ile ilgili derslerin özelliklerini incelemektir. Çalışmanın niteliği kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı olup, Temmuz- Aralık 2022 tarihinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evreni, Türkiye’de bulunan devlet ve vakıf üniversiteleri kapsamında 47 eczacılık lisans programından oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı araştırmacıların oluşturduğu değerlendirme formudur. Üniversitelerin web sayfasından eczacılık lisans programlarına ait ders içeriklerinin taranması ile veriler toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler, tanımlayıcı (sayı ve yüzde) istatistiklerin kullanılması ile analiz edilmiştir. Üniversitelerin eczacılık lisans programlarında, kalite yönetimine ait derslerden en az bir tanesinin, %78,7’sinde bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Müfredat incelendiğinde ‘Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı’ ve Laboratuvar Güvenliği’ derslerinin diğerlerine oranla daha çok işlendiği görülmüştür. Eczacılık lisans müfredatlarının çoğunda kalite yönetimine ilişkin bir dersin bulunduğu, ancak var olan derslerin içeriğinin ilaç güvenliğinin sağlanabilmesi açısından yeterli olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Eczacılık lisans programı öğrencilerinin ders programlarında, hasta güvenliği ile kalite üzerinde yoğunlaşılıp daha sistematik bir işleyiş sağlanırsa, ilaç yönetimi daha etkin, etkili ve verimli bir şekilde sağlanacaktır.

Published: June 2023

Este constructo apresenta e discute fatores de risco (FR) pessoais, ambientais e biofisiológicos para ideação, tentativa ou consumação do suicídio em cada um dos sete transtornos de ansiedade (TA) presentes no Manual Diagnóstico Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-5). Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de produções compostas por estudos empíricos transversais ou de prevalência, de coorte prospectivos ou retrospectivos e ensaios clínicos randomizados, a partir dos bancos de dados Pubmed, Cochrane Library e American Psychological Association onde foram encontrados 1487 estudos. Após análise com base nos critérios de elegibilidade, foram selecionados 24 estudos contendo um total de 2.402 casos de TA que compõem o banco de dados desta revisão. FR e o desfecho de ideação, tentativa ou consumação do suicídio foram encontrados para os transtornos de Pânico, Agorafobia, Ansiedade Social, Ansiedade Generalizada e Fobia Específica. Estes dados podem ampliar a compreensão teórica e produção técnica das diversas abordagens dentro das ciências da saúde e assim contribuir na construção e aperfeiçoamento de procedimentos e protocolos clínicos visando o tratamento de indivíduos com TA e a prevenção do suicídio. Além disso, foi possível perceber que uma parte significativa dos suicídios podem ser evitados com a prevenção de transtornos mentais.

Published: June 2023

O presente estudo objetivou investigar as representações que universitários possuem acerca do novo coronavírus e sua saúde mental em tempos pandêmicos. Para isso, contou-se com 276 participantes que foram submetidos a um questionário sociodemográfico e a Técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras. Os dados foram processados pelo software IRaMuTeQ, e posteriormente analisadas por dois tipos de análises: a de similitude e prototípica. Os resultados apontaram que os participantes representaram o novo coronavírus com base no que até então é propagado nos veículos de difusão e no conhecimento erudito, reportando-o como uma doença de magnitude pandêmica a qual tem provocado medo e mortes na população. Além disso, o termo foi ancorado em medidas profiláticas de prevenção do contágio e na crise que tem sido evidenciada na esfera psicológica, financeira, laboral. No que tange ao estímulo coronavírus e saúde mental, as representações ancoraram-se nos impactos psicoafetivos gerados pelo vírus e no uso de estratégias de enfrentamento. Espera-se que os resultados desta pesquisa corroborem para a fundamentação de estratégias interventivas por órgãos governamentais e não governamentais, bem como pela mídia frente às repercussões da Covid-19 na saúde mental da sociedade e, em especial, na de estudantes universitários.
