Development and Validation of a Scale for Perceived Loafing in Group Projects among College Students
Authors: Han Jong Lim , Chang Yujin
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure perceived loafing in group projects among college students. In this study, “perceived loafing in group projects” refers to the extent to which an individual student perceives that their peers are not participating diligently in group tasks. A literature review was conducted, and data from focus group interviews with 12 college students, a pilot survey with 200 students, and a main survey with 300 students were analyzed. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, based on the literature review and focus group interviews, 12 preliminary items were developed to measure perceived loafing, reflecting aspects of insufficient communication and lack of diligence in task performance in group projects. Second, the pilot survey items were finalized after content validation by experts. Third, the analysis of the pilot survey indicated that the scale for perceived loafing in group projects among college students was identified as a single factor, and eight items were confirmed as the final items. Fourth, the main survey analysis showed the scale’s reliability to be .92, supporting its internal consistency and providing evidence for construct (convergent) validity. Furthermore, criterion-related validity was confirmed by conducting correlation analyses between the newly developed scale and related variables, such as group cohesion, collective efficacy, academic engagement, academic disengagement, and an existing perceived loafing scale. The present study is significant in that it develops and validates a scale that measures perceived loafing in group projects among college students, improving upon the limitations of existing scales. This newly developed scale serves as a foundational tool for understanding and managing perceived loafing in university group projects.
The Effect of Elementary School Students ’ Teacher Attachment and Classroom Climate on School Adjustment: Moderated Mediating Effect of Peer Attachment
Authors: Jeon Yi Seul , An Ha Yan
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of classroom climate between teacher attachment and school adjustment. Moreover, it also investigated peer attachment’s moderated mediating role. In particular, we aimed to expand and test a moderated mediation model by adding peer attachment as a moderating variable not only in the relationship between teacher attachment and classroom climate but also between teacher attachment and school adjustment. For this study, 505 sixth-graders (260 male, 245 female) from a metropolitan area completed self-report questionnaires and their data were analyzed. First, classroom climate partially mediated the effect of teacher attachment on school adjustment. Second, the moderation effect of peer attachment was only valid on the relationship between teacher attachment and classroom climate. Finally, it was confirmed that as the level of peer attachment increased, the indirect effect of teacher attachment on school adjustment, mediated by classroom climate, became stronger. This study integratively verified the major school variables affecting elementary school students’ school adjustment. Based on these results, we discuss the implications and significance for education and school counseling, and offer suggestions for future research.

Authors: CHAULAGAIN D. , SMOLANKA V.I. , SMOLANKA A.V. , HAVRYLIV T.
Published: November 2024

Objective — to assess the recurrence rate of surgically treated glioblastoma (GBM) and its correlation with various factors, including the extent of resection (EOR), in a cohort of 120 patients. The role of EOR as a prognostic factor in recurrence will be investigated as part of this analysis.
Materials and methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 120 patients diagnosed with Wild-type Isocitrate Dehydronease (IDH) GBM multiforme, aged 18 years and above, who underwent surgical intervention at Uzhhorod Regional Neurosurgical Center between 2010 and 2020. These patients were subsequently treated with chemoradiotherapy. Our study aimed to investigate the recurrence rate and the impact of EOR on recurrence and overall survival in glioblastoma. The follow-up period for these patients ranged from 2 to 144 months, with a median follow-up duration of 36 months post-surgical resection. We employed the Chi-square test to assess the relationship and association between EOR and recurrence as well as overall survival variables, considering a statistically significant p-value of 0.05 or below.
Results. In our study comprising 120 cases, with 62 % being male (n = 74) and 38 % female (n = 46). On average, patients with glioblastoma survived for 14 months. The median survival time after partial and subtotal resection was 6 and 12 months, respectively, while patients who underwent gross total resection (GTR) had a median survival duration of 16 months. Regarding extent of resection (EOR), 56 % of patients had GTR (n = 67), 29 % had subtotal resection (STR) (n = 35), and 15 % had partial resection (PR) (n = 18). Throughout the follow-up period, approximately 86 % of patients had deceased since surgery (n = 103), while 14 % (n = 17) remained under follow-up. Notably, a significant association was observed between overall survival and EOR(%) (χ2 (2) = 8.752, p < 0.05). The recurrence rate in our study, observed post-hospital discharge during a follow-up period ranging from 2 to 144 months (median 36 months), was approximately 39 % (n = 47) among patients who underwent surgical resection for glioblastoma. However, upon multivariate analysis, we found no association between resection type and EOR(%) (χ2 (2) = 2.563, p = 0.278), with the majority of patients across all three EOR groups showing no recurrence.
Conclusions. Glioblastoma patients derive significant benefit from comprehensive treatment strategies, which typically involve maximal safe tumor resection followed by adjuvant therapy to improve overall survival outcomes. While maximal resection of the tumor is often pursued, our study did not find a significant association between the extent of resection and recurrence rates.
Adaptation and Validation of the Dyadic Trust Scale in the Chinese Context
Authors: Zhang Ye
Published: November 2024

Trust serves as a fundamental cornerstone in close relationships, often considered as the essential bond that maintains partner connections. While tools for measuring dyadic trust in close relationships exist in Western contexts, there has been a lack of validated instruments for measuring trust in close relationship within Chinese cultural contexts. This study sought to adapt and validate the Dyadic Trust Scale (DTS) for Chinese populations using two independent samples (n = 204; n = 377). Through item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Item 1 was removed from the original DTS and a two-factor model comprising 7 items was emerged for the Chinese version, contrasting with the previous one-factor models. We labeled the two factors as Trustworthiness (ordinal α = 0.88) and Security (ordinal α = 0.73) respectively. The adapted DTS also demonstrated very good convergent and discriminant validity, along with very good criterion validity, as evident by correlations with relationship satisfaction assessed by the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS). Our findings support the Chinese DTS as a psychometrically reliable and valid tool for assessing dyadic trust in close relationships in China, paving the way for further research in this area.

Published: November 2024

The key educational transition from primary to secondary school occurs during the sensitive developmental period of early adolescence, when students are developing self-regulatory abilities and facing a new array of challenges. Of concern, a decline in wellbeing has been observed following this educational transition. However, little is known about how the self-regulation of cognitions (metacognition) and emotions (emotion regulation) are related to adolescent students’ wellbeing following this transition. Here, we investigate whether metacognition and emotion regulation are related to student’s subjective academic and personal wellbeing, in a sample of 134 students (59 male, 75 female) aged 12-14 years (M = 12.88 years, SD = 0.67 years) in the early years of Australian secondary school. This study was cross-sectional, and data were collected in 2022/2023. Participants completed a series of computer-based tasks and questionnaires designed to capture metacognition, emotion regulation, executive functions (working memory, attention control and cognitive flexibility) and wellbeing (academic wellbeing and personal wellbeing). Both metacognition and emotion regulation made significant and distinct contributions to adolescents’ academic and personal wellbeing, with metacognition playing a larger role in academic wellbeing and emotion regulation making larger contributions to personal wellbeing. Of import, the contributions of metacognition and emotion regulation to wellbeing were observed after accounting for underlying individual differences in executive functions. These findings suggest that improving both metacognition and emotion regulation during early adolescence could have positive impacts on student wellbeing, regardless of differences in students’ underlying abilities.

Published: November 2024

The quality of early interactions between parents and their children is essential for fostering healthy development. This study investigates the relationship between parent-infant interaction, language development and infant regulation, as well as the distinct roles of mothers and fathers.A total of 40 mother-child dyads were examined at six months postpartum. Self-report questionnaires were used to evaluate maternal depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), parental attachment-related attitudes (Revised Adult Attachment Scale), and infant regulation (Questionnaire for Crying, Feeding and Sleeping). Mother-infant interactions were recorded on video and subsequently evaluated using the Infant CARE-Index, with an additional assessment of father-infant interaction in a smaller subsample of 20 dyads.The findings indicate that higher maternal depressive symptoms were linked to an increased prevalence of infant regulatory challenges, such as crying and sleep difficulties. Notably, fathers demonstrated significantly higher interaction quality than mothers, despite similar co-regulatory behaviors between parents. These results underscore the impact of maternal mental health on infant regulation and emphasize the importance of father involvement in early child development.
Local and Spillover Effects of Trade on Structural Transformation: Evidence from Brazil
Authors: Hoyos Mateo , Coronado José Alejandro , Martins Guilherme Klein
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the impact of trade liberalization on structural transformation, using quasi-experimental tariff reductions from Brazil's 1990s reforms. Building on recent cross-regional macroeconomic literature, we extend the traditional shift-share framework to estimate both local and spatial spillover effects on sectoral employment shares, providing insights on aggregate outcomes. Regions more exposed to tariff cuts saw declines in manufacturing employment, increases in the primary sector, and reductions in non-tradables. Spillover effects—mediated through migration or proximity—partially offset local deindustrialization in manufacturing but amplified declines in non-tradables. These effects persisted for over twenty years and proved robust to alternative explanations, including competing structural transformation hypotheses and other economic shocks during the period of analysis. Overall, our findings support theories highlighting comparative advantage as a potential driver of trade-induced structural transformation.

Authors: Upadhyay Rajeev
Published: November 2024

People want to migrate, where there are facilities of education, jobs, health, good facilities of food and so on. So, in Nepal people migrate from rural village areas to urban cities. Pokhara is a city of Gandaki Province situated in the western region of Nepal and it is situated on the broad valley of Seti river. The trend of in-migration in ward -17 (Birauta) of Pokhara Metropolitan City is very high. The rate of influx increases in this area is just after the construction of Phewa dam. The study utilizes a combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The study is based on the field survey of 2019 A.D. and population migration data of Nepal of 2011 published in the Population Monograph of Nepal, NPC secretariat, CBS, 2011 A.D. The available data are calculated (in percent) and are analyzed systematically. Pokhara is a second largest city of hilly region. It has good network system of roads and communication. In-migrant from its surrounding hill villages and districts have migrated to ward-17 of Pokhara. People from their origin are leaving their native place due to the availability of different modern urban facilities. Besides this, in-migrants who are employed in Foreign Service also prefer this place to settle instead of their village, because of education, health, transportation, recreation facilities, etc.

Published: November 2024

The coastline is the boundary between the sea and land. Line changes are caused by abrasion and accretion. Abrasion and accretion occur throughout the coast of Laha so that the coastline undergoes quite drastic changes. This study aims to determine how much the average rate of abrasion and coastal accretion per year and how much the average area of abrasion and accretion for 10 years of recording data on the Laha coast. This study uses the remote sensing method as a rapid study to detect the rate of abrasion and accretion on Laha beach using Landsat 8 images in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 as primary data Calculation of shoreline changes using DSAS (digital shoreline analysis system) using the NSM (net shoreline movement) statistical method. The results of the 10-year coastal abrasion rate study occurred thoroughly on the coast of Laha beach. The highest abrasion occurred in 2018-2019 with an average value of NSM -15 cm/year while the highest accretion occurred in 2019-2020 with an average value of NSM +19.97 cm/year. Abrasion area for 10 years with an average value of NSM of -89.29 m2 / year while accretion for 10 years with an average value of NSM of +70.70 m2/ year. With the rate of abrasion that occurs, it is necessary to build coastal buildings evenly so that abrasion can be minimized.

Published: November 2024

The degradation of concrete strength may occur due to extreme environmental factors such as sea or coastal areas. Those factors can decrease the durability level of concrete structure signified by the corrosion of reinforced concrete structure. The use of fly ash as a concrete mixture is expected to minimize corrosion in concrete structures. Since fly ash has small particles, it can fill small voids in concrete and minimize corrosive substances. The investigation parameters in this study employed two types of corrosion acceleration test modelling using a 15x15x15cm cube tested object with a concrete quality of 40 MPa. Meanwhile, fly ash involves classes F and C within the level of 20% as well as applied corrosion prediction by 10% and 20%. The addition of fly ash to the concrete mixture can reduce the mass loss of reinforced concrete. The maximum mass loss on a normal test object with a corrosion prediction of 20% was obtained at 18.22%, while a 20% corrosion prediction obtained the smallest value for the SCMFA-C test object at 17.04%. The 20% corrosion prediction obtained the largest distribution of 0.355 mm on the normal test object and the smallest distribution of 0.299 mm occurred on the SCMFA-F test object. Thus, the addition of fly ash to the concrete mixture can reduce the distribution of corrosion and mass loss in reinforced concrete.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this research is to analyze the regulation and use of electronic stamps on electronic documents, and to analyze the legal force of electronic stamps on electronic documents. The research method used is the normative legal research method. The normative legal research method is a study that examines and analyzes legal norms that have been established by authorized officials. The approaches used are the legislative approach and the conceptual approach. The sources and types of legal materials used are primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. It can be concluded that the regulation of electronic stamps is regulated in several laws and regulations in Indonesia, including Law No. 10/2020, PP No. 86/2021, PMK No. 134/PMK.03/2021, and Law No. 1/2024. This regulation makes electronic stamps a valid and legally recognized verification tool. The use of electronic stamps increases efficiency, security, and convenience in signing and verifying digital documents, supporting digital transformation in various sectors. Its use can be done through the eMET application. Electronic stamps have the same legal force as adhesive stamps since the enactment of Law No. 10/2020 on January 1, 2021. Electronic stamps are not a valid requirement for an agreement, but rather a formal requirement as evidence in court. The absence of an electronic stamp does not invalidate a legal act, but only affects the completeness of the document as evidence in court.

The right of perpetual usufruct and the principles of a market economy
Authors: Kuryj Jan , Klimach Anna
Published: November 2024

The right of perpetual usufruct is deeply rooted in the Polish legal system. Perpetual usufruct has a long history, and it is unlikely to be abolished in the near future. Therefore, the extent to which the right of perpetual usufruct is consistent with the principles of a free-market economy should be determined. In the present study, this issue has been examined comprehensively by describing the economic aspects of this right. The fees associated with perpetual usufruct can attract individuals who have an interest in establishing this right. However, these fees can also discourage potential usufructuaries. Despite the above, perpetual usufruct fees constitute a steady source of income for territorial self-governments which grant the right to perpetual usufruct of municipal land. In addition to a comprehensive overview of perpetual usufruct fees, this study also involved a survey to determine the extent to which territorial self-governments exercise the legal rights associated with the collection of perpetual usufruct fees.
Green infrastructure as understood by stakeholders in small and medium-sized towns in Poland
Authors: Długozima Anna , Gawryszewska Beata J. , Nejman Ryszard
Published: November 2024

Motives: In urban governance processes involving local communities, green infrastructure (GI) is an important proxy for the local quality of life. In this paper, the authors focus on GI in small and medium-sized Polish towns, which attracts much less research interest than that in large cities. The study covered 97 towns, and it included desk research and a questionnaire survey of local authorities and NGOs.Aim: The aim of the study was to determine whether residents are involved in the management of urban GI, whether local authorities and communities have identified the need to develop new GI, and whether they are taking appropriate measures to maintain and preserve the existing GI resources. Another objective was to examine the priority of existing GI resources in governance policies.Results: The levels of citizen participation and GI management in small and medium-sized towns were ranked. The general observation is that green spaces are not an effective participation tool in small towns. The situation has gradually improved in medium-sized cities and towns within metropolitan regions, but this does not seem to be a determining factor.
Protection of the quiet and nocturnal landscape
Authors: Bernat Sebastian , Adamczyk Patrycja
Published: November 2024

Motives: We associate landscape primarily with the presence of vistas that change with the time of day, season and weather conditions. Landscape is shaped by light and darkness, sound and silence, all of which influence its perception. Quiet and nocturnal landscapes, however, remain on the margins of scientific interest in traditional landscape studies.Aim: The main aim of the study was to identify the younger generation’s awareness of the importance of nocturnal landscapes, light and noise pollution, and their preferences for protection against these threats. For this purpose, a diagnostic survey method was used. The results of the survey were referred to the 2015 TNS Poland report prepared for the Ministry of the Environment. In addition, the legal conditions of landscape protection in Poland were identified, with reference to protection against noise and light pollution. National and international experiences in the protection of quiet and nocturnal landscapes were also presented.Results: The survey demonstrated that public awareness of light pollution is increasing. A nocturnal (and quiet) landscape is of high value to the respondents. Light pollution causes, among other things, energy waste and landscape degradation (change of landscape characteristics), while noise negatively affects human and animal health. Therefore, the nocturnal (and quiet) landscape should be protected by law. Currently, there are no direct instruments for the protection of nocturnal landscapes in Poland. On the other hand, in the case of quiet landscapes, there are some instruments (e.g. quiet zones), but they have not been used yet. It is encouraging that public awareness of light and noise pollution is increasing. It is necessary to link landscape protection with the protection of the night sky and quiet zones, for example through advertising resolutions and the establishment of cultural parks. It is also important to educate the public about the risks involved.

The periods of the series are highlighted: from the 1950s to the mid-1960s; from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s; from the middle. 1970s to the late 1970s; from the 1980s to the 1990s; from the early 2000s to the mid-2020s.The application of standard projects of a series of residential buildings is analyzed, the transformation of their planning structure and appearance is revealed.The article considers such common series and their variations as 1-464 A, 1-464A-20 And, 1-464D, 1-464 H, 1-464 DM, E-600. Conclusions are drawn about changes in the planning structure: improvement of the dimensions of rooms, increase in the area of kitchens, introduction of separate bathrooms, change in the predominant number of rooms in the apartment, the appearance of a studio apartment.The tendency to increase the number of floors, the transformation of the silhouette, the use of decorative elements on the facade and the rejection of them, the strengthening of the role of glass and the color scheme of the facade is revealed.In the urban planning aspect, there has been a change in the main urban development unit from a microdistrict to a residential complex.The analysis noted both a decrease in the rate of construction of panel residential buildings at the end of the twentieth century, and the stimulation of further development of panel housing construction in Nizhny Novgorod at the beginning of the XXI century.
The need to revise SP 131.13330.2020 “Construction climatology” for the design of urban human habitat
Authors: Umnyakova N. P. , Klueva M. V. , Smirnov V. A.
Published: November 2024

The results of the analysis of the provision of the territories of the Russian Federation with weather stations providing climatic information necessary for the design of buildings and development area are presented. The conducted research made it possible to establish that a significant part of the country’s territories are insufficiently provided with climate information, because since the 1990s about 30% of the weather stations presented in SNiP 23-01–99 “Construction Climatology” have been closed. Many stations that stopped providing climate information were removed from the document. And only in 2023, 9 stations were added to the Set of Rules in the newly attached territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. As a result, the Code of Rules presents specialized climate parameters for 440 localities. However, for the territory of Russia with an area of 17,100 thousand km2, such a network density of weather stations is insufficient and currently it is necessary to expand the list of weather stations in SP 131.13330.2020 “Construction Climatology”. To ensure the process of designing the human habitat and providing the necessary climatic information, during the revision of SP 131.13330.2020 “Construction Climatology”, the provision of all regions of the European and Asian parts of the Russian Federation with weather stations was considered, the location of existing and ceased to provide climatic data of weather stations was analyzed, the sufficiency and insufficiency of providing regions with weather stations receiving climatic data for calculating specialized climatic parameters was assessed, used in the design and construction of buildings and structures, as well as recommended weather stations for inclusion in the Code of Rules of SP 131.13330.2020 “Building climatology”.
The necessity of revising current insolati on standards in architectural practice
Authors: Petrov A. S. , Ivantsov A. I.
Published: November 2024

In architectural practice, a stable understanding has developed about the positive aspect of insolation of premises and territories, which consists in the sanitization of premises with the UV part of the spectrum, erythema effect on humans, thermal effect on buildings, and regulation of building density. An analysis of the current insolation standards is given to take into account each of the above factors. It is shown that most of them are not only not taken into account, but the very ideology of the positive impact of insolation of premises and territories is lost. The identified problems and contradictions suggest the need to revise the current insolation standards. A method for determining calendar dates for excluding insolation based on the duration of overheating of a room in the summer is proposed. Examples of architectural solutions are given in which the current insolation standards and calculation methods conflict with each other. Justifications are proposed for revising the standards for insolation of premises and territories while maintaining the required building density.

Published: November 2024

The analysis of the relationship between the ICC specification and Renga software is presented, as well as an analysis of existing IFC mapping automation solutions in Renga software according to the requirements of state expertise.Two approaches to automation have been identified – the integration of Renga and Dynamo software and software automation through the Renga API. At the same time, both considered approaches have their advantages and can be used depending on the specific needs and qualifications of specialists, however, the first approach has more significant disadvantages. Based on the analysis, a prototype system is proposed – a plugin for automating the mapping process, the work of which can be divided into several stages: set the IFC class of the element in the Renga software; in accordance with the structure of the parameter mapping file, one of three immutable groups of parameters is specified: “attributes”; “psets”; “qsets”; in accordance with the requirements of a certain examination, sets of parameters for the corresponding IFC class are indicated; in accordance with the requirements of a certain examination, the attributes themselves are set. For clarity, a detailed diagram of user actions is provided. The proposed tool can serve as a separate development or as a basis for software modernization.
Comparative assessment of requirements imposed on premises for the placement of high-precision production facilities
Authors: Smirnov V. A.
Published: November 2024

The fundamental principles of design and criteria for the placement of high-precision equipment intended for the production of microelectronic components and the study of micron and submicron structures are considered.The main aspect of the article is focused on protection from vibration of natural and man-made origin, which is present in almost any construction site. The main goal of vibration minimization is to prevent the occurrence of oscillations that can distort measurement data and disrupt the operation of high-precision equipment, such as electron microscopes, lithographic installations and nanometer control systems. The modern requirement for vibration is the maximum permissible vibration velocity from 3 μm/s to 0.5μm/s or less, depending on the equipment and research purposes. The article analyzes the requirements of domestic and foreign regulatory and advisory documents for base vibration levels in places where high-precision equipment is installed. The results of measurements and assessment of vibration levels at a typical facility are presented in accordance with the specified requirements.

The developing sustainability of cities is closely linked to ensuring the balance of green areas of common use. It has been scientifically proven that the effects of green zones are significant for both the environment and the population. An urgent task of the territorial and spatial organization of the city and its administrative-territorial units is a strategic assessment of the uniformity of the distribution of green areas of common use.The working hypothesis is the assumption that using the Kulback–Leibler distance, it is possible to accurately describe the degree of unevenness of the distribution of the areas of green areas of public use relative to the areas of the administrative-territorial units of the city and the resident population. The areas of green spaces of common use and administrative-territorial units of the cities of Berlin, Moscow and St. Petersburg are studied. It was established that the distribution of the areas of the open public green spaces in Berlin is close to uniform, the distribution of the areas of the city’s territorial units is uneven, in Moscow it is the opposite, and in St. Petersburg the distribution of both the areas of open public green spaces and the districs are uneven. The indicator of uniformity of distribution of the areas of open public green spaces relative to the land management of the city, developed by the authors, calculated on the basis of a dimensionless value – the Kullback–Leibler distance, makes it possible to evaluate and compare the degree of unevenness of the distribution of the areas of open public green spaces relative to the areas of territorial units, in the territories of which they are located, both for the city and between cities. The indicator may be in demand at the stage of making management decisions to ensure total area of open public green spaces during urban planning of the city territory and its administrative-territorial units.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's vulnerability to climate-related disasters was tragically highlighted by the 2022 floods, affecting millions. This study aims to investigate community satisfaction with government-led emergency response and recovery efforts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining surveys and In-depth Interviews. Despite government claims, the results of this study show significant gaps in government support, specifically in early warning communication, protective evacuation, damages compensation, and lack of inclusiveness in service delivery to the affected population. Financial constraints, political instability, and limited technical capacity to design and implement robust recovery plans hindered effective response. The study highlights the need for enhanced disaster management strategies, community-centered emergency response, and improved government accountability. Findings inform policy reforms and provide valuable insights for disaster risk reduction and climate resilience initiatives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Background

Lyme disease (LD) is the most common tick-borne zoonotic infection in Europe and North America, caused by Borrelia spp., primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks. The disease has become a significant public health concern in Ukraine, with the number of reported cases steadily increasing since the initiation of official registration in 2000. Despite this trend, the epidemiological characteristics of LD in Ukraine, particularly its geographic distribution and the influence of socio-political events on its prevalence, remain underexplored.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of LD in Ukraine from 2000 to 2023.

Material and methods

The study utilized official statistical data of registered LM cases in Ukraine from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and relevant literature sources.

Results

Over the 23-year period (2000–2023), a total of 45,371 cases of Lyme disease (LD) were recorded in Ukraine, with an annual average of 1,890 ± 1,662 cases. A significant increase was observed in 2015, with an additional rise in 2022, both likely linked to socio-political events such as the reorganization of health services and the war-related population displacement. The highest incidence was recorded in 2023, at 14.08 cases per 100,000 population. Geographic analysis revealed that Kyiv and the Kyiv region had the highest incidence rates, with urban areas being disproportionately affected. Notably, 83.2% of the cases were recorded among urban residents, reflecting a clear urban-rural disparity.

Conclusions

The incidence of Lyme disease in Ukraine has significantly increased over the past 23 years, particularly in urban areas. The peaks in 2015 and 2022 suggest potential links to socio-political disruptions, such as changes in health services and population displacement due to the war. These findings underscore the need for improved public health strategies, with a particular focus on managing LD in urban settings, and addressing the urban-rural disparity in case distribution.
РЕЗУЛЬТАТИВНІСТЬ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ ПІДТРИМКИ СТУДЕНТІВ У ЦЕНТРАХ АКАДЕМІЧНОГО УСПІХУ В УНІВЕРСИТЕТАХ США

У статті представлено результати дослідження результативності застосування технологій підтримки здобувачів вищої освіти, а саме: тьюторства, додаткового навчання, академічного коучингу та менторства. Ці технології використовують Центри академічного успіху в університетах США з метою покращення навчальних досягнень, скорочення відсіву студентів, допомоги у виборі курсу та орієнтуванні з питань, що стосуються навчання. Результати дослідження показують, що тьюторство та додаткове навчання є високоефективними технологіями, що сприяють міцному засвоєнню матеріалів дисциплін. Технологія тьюторства використовується у формі тьюторства ровесників, тобто викладачами курсу є студенти старших курсів. Такий вид співпраці приносить користь як і студентам так і викладачам-старшокурсникам. Виявлено, що додаткове навчання використовується для курсів, що традиційно вважаються складними для вивчення (органічна хімія, генетика, біологія, фізика). Встановлено, що після проходження курсу додаткового навчання здобувачі вищої освіти, які регулярно відвідували заняття, покращили свої знання на рівень вище, тобто перейшли з середнього до високого або з низького до середнього рівня. Академічний коучинг є новою технологією підтримки студентів, незважаючи на це, ця технологія користується широкою популярністю у Центрах. Академічний коучинг спрямований на розкриття потенціалу та набуття навичок, які необхідні для успішного завершення курсу навчання. Результатом роботи з академічним коучем є збільшення відсотку утримання здобувачів освіти. Статистичні дані щодо ефективності менторства у вищій освіті відсутні, але є ряд досліджень, які доводять цінність цієї технології для соціальної адаптації та інтегрування в студентську спільноту. Менторство слугує інструментом навчання та розвитку, що включає обмін досвідом між ментором та менті. Ця технологія сприяє подоланню труднощів, які виникають під час навчання.
Проведене дослідження наголошує на ефективності застосування технологій підтримки здобувачів вищої освіти, таких як: тьюторство, додаткове навчання, академічний коучинг та менторство та підтверджує необхідність подальшого вивчення цих технологій з метою імплементації в українські заклади вищої освіти.
