Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Howook
Published: July 2022

Objectives The study analyzed feedback on lesson plans written by preservice teachers(PSTs) for the first time, identified problem patterns, and sought appropriate teaching methods for each type of feedback.
Methods PSTs designed lesson plans for the world regional geography units of the elementary social studies. After reviewing them, a total of 475 cases of instructor feedback provided to PSTs were categorized by the thematic analysis method that classifies feedback content according to similar topics.
Results In top categories, there were 5 types: understanding of achievement standards, curriculum reconstruction, introduction of instructional activities, body of instructional activities, and conclusion of instructional activities. There were 10 sub-types appeared frequently: guidance for teaching and learning activities, composition and planning of lessons, unit marking, recognition of the number system of achievement standards, detailed explanation methods, validity of learning topics, confirmation of prior lesson, description of learning objectives, playing time of video clip and allocation of time within lesson.
Conclusions Various difficulties that PSTs may experience while preparing lesson plans and guidance methods in response to them were examined in detail. The professionalism of instructional design is a competency that is formed in the long term throughout the entire life cycle and career stage of a teacher. Even if the level of preparation and experience of PSTs is low, meaningful educational effects can be achieved if they are guided with goals and methods suitable for them.

Published: July 2022

Objectives This study examined natural groupings of college students in terms of perfectionism, the differences in adaptation to college life among clusters, and factors influencing adaptation to college life according to each cluster.
Methods Based on the data of 261 college students, cluster analysis using the sub-scales of perfectionism—self-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism—was conducted. Then, the differences in adaptation to college life were analyzed among sub-groups by using MANOVA. Multiple regression analysis was also conducted to examine the effects of failure tolerance and self-efficacy on adaptation to college life according to each cluster.
Results The cluster analysis resulted in three clusters—Cluster 1: self- and other-fulfilling perfectionism group; Cluster 2: non-perfectionistic group; and Cluster 3: self-fulfilling perfectionism group. As results of MANOVA, Clusters 2 and 3 showed significantly higher scores on adaptation to college life than Cluster 1. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that failure tolerance had a significant effect on adaptation to college life in Clusters 1 and 2. In Cluster 3, adaptation to college life was significantly affected by both failure tolerance and self-efficacy.
Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that it is necessary to provide college students with appropriate programs or counseling activities to enhance their adaptation to college life based on their types of perfectionism.

Objectives This study analyzes the results of a survey on the participation and perception of college students in the extra-curricular education program, Based on this, this is a case study conducted with the purpose of exploring ways to more systematize non-curricular education.
Methods D University established six objectives for non-disciplinary education: ‘Learning competency support, psychological counseling support, career support, employment support, start-up support, and internationalization support.’ There are 21 types and 55 detailed types at the bottom, and Co-Curriculum classes linking the subject and comparative departments are being activated. The reasons for participation and non-participation in comparative programs, participation effects, perception of comparative programs, perception of classes linked to subjects and comparative subjects, and perception of comparative support policies were analyzed.
Results The overwhelming majority of students who responded that they participated in the extra-curricular program for the first time in the first year, The detailed types of the programs in which they participated and the programs they wish to participate in differed by grade level. They showed a positive attitude toward core competency development, college life adaptation, and classes that link subjects and non-subjects. As the contents of the extra-curricular activities support policy, various opinions were presented, such as securing various extra-curricular activities, strengthening professionalism, and adopting an operating method that reflects the characteristics of the program.
Conclusions The classification of program guidance by grade, overcoming the gap between the programs you are participating in and the programs you want to participate in, and finding various cases for linked classes should be promoted. In addition, continuous investigation of the operation status, performance, perception and demand of non-subject education programs, policy outcome analysis, member sharing, and policyization of results should be conducted in the long term and regularly. All education, including comparative education, cannot achieve the desired results without long-term prospects, investments, and efforts.

Published: August 2022

Body iron stores and its significant association with the increased risk of cardiac disease was first time reported by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. There are several molecular mechanisms and discrete pathways involved in developing Myocardial Infarction (MI) as a result of increased body iron store. Various studies showed that there lies a significant association between serum iron and serum ferritin with the MI, but to the best of our knowledge studies have not focused on the difference in their levels in STEMI and NSTEMI patients. Hence, the aim of the study is to associate the levels of iron and ferritin with STEMI and NSTEMI patients and the objective of the study is to investigate and associate the iron, ferritin and lipid profile parameters among STEMI and NSTEMI patients. The cross-sectional study recruited 75 individuals who lie in the age group of 25-55 years. The participants were divided into three groups with 25 participants in STEMI, 25 in NSTEMI (based on the ECG findings and cardiologist findings) and 25 healthy participants who are age and sex-matched as controls. The blood sample was obtained from the participants and analysed for the following biochemical parameters: CK - MB, iron, ferritin, and lipid profile. The data was analysed using SPSS software and represented as mean and SD. One-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation and odds calculation were carried out. For all statistical test p value <0.05 were considered as significant. It is found that serum iron and ferritin were significantly elevated in STEMI individuals compared to NSTEMI and controls. But the lipid profile levels were increased in NSTEMI individuals. It is found that individuals with increased levels of iron and ferritin are at high risk of developing STEMI and NSTEMI compared with controls. Iron and ferritin were significantly elevated in STEMI individuals compared to NSTEMI individuals. In NSTEMI group lipid profile levels were increased and is associated with ferritin levels compared to STEMI group. Independent to the type of MI, individuals with high levels of serum iron and ferritin are at higher risk of developing myocardial infarction.

Published: July 2022

Marine-based nutraceuticals have proved their extensive applications in functional foods and its bioactive molecules play a crucial role as therapeutic agents. The aim of the study is to elucidate in-depth understanding of the nutritional properties and biological activities of the two marine algae. The main objectives of the current study is to comparatively analyse the phytochemicals, nutritional composition and its pharmacological activities of the green and the brown marine macro algae named V.pachynema and D.ciliolata respectively using three different solvents. Additionally, the total chlorophyll content, phenolic content, nutritional, mineral composition, antioxidative and antibacterial activities of the methanolic extract were evaluated. Results showed elemental distribution of V.pachynema in the decreasing order Na > Ca> k > Mg > Fe > Ni> Mn >Co> As > Pb > Cu> Zn > Cr > Cd> Se> V while D.ciliolata in the order of Na > Ca> k > Mg >Ni >Fe> As> Co >Pb> Mn > Zn> Se>Cr> Cd> V>Cu. The relative nutritional composition showed high ash and carbohydrate for both the algae. The percentage composition of ash content was 68.42 ± 0.43% , 37.45 ± 0.26 % (g 100g-1 DW) while carbohydrate content was 50.17± 0.60%, 45.78 ± 0.69% (g 100g-1 DW) for V.pachynema and D.ciliolata respectively. The crude methanolic extract of both the algae were investigated for antioxidant activity with two in vitro antioxidant assays including 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), Phosphomolybdenum (PMB) assays. In addition, Folin–Ciocalteu was used to measure phenolic content (TPC) to determine the antioxidant components. Total phenolic content was found to be highest in V.pachynema 51 GAE 10µg/ml and the methanolic extract of V.pachynema showed higher levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities when compared with D.ciliolata. The tested marine algal extracts exhibited radical scavenging activity that is comparatively dose-dependent to its phenolic concentration. Methanolic extract of the marine algae V.pachynema exhibited better inhibitory activity against gram positive bacterium that are resistant to drugs when compared to the brown algae D.ciliolata. This study enabled a detailed understanding of the nutritional and biochemical composition, free radical scavenging activities of two marine macroalgae. This algal biomass could be potent resources of anti-oxidants and could act as dietary food supplements owing to their rich diversified bioactivities.

Jornal Diário Esportivo e o ethos dos jogadores
Authors: Soutto Mayor Sarah Teixeira , Neto Georgino Jorge de Souza , Da Silva Sílvio Ricardo
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo teve como objetivo analisar, por meio de reportagens do jornal Diário Esportivo, como os jogadores amadores e profissionais, assim como a ideia de amadorismo e profissionalismo, eram representados e veiculados entre os anos de 1945 e 1946, na cidade de Belo Horizonte/MG. Foi possível perceber uma veiculação discursiva ambígua em relação aos jogadores profissionais, ora destacados e elogiados por manterem “almas” de amadores, ora criticados e denunciados por não cumprirem de maneira satisfatória com suas obrigações laborais. A verificação de um cenário ambíguo, conflituoso e diverso demonstra as complexidades dessa experiência futebolística no contexto específico da cidade de Belo Horizonte, sugerindo um olhar mais cuidadoso para a coexistência dos regimes amador e profissional e ampliando a perspectiva da simples passagem que a ideia de transição comumente supõe.
Study of hanging valley in loess-paleosoil sediments with soil erosion assessment using nuclear and erosion potential methods
Authors: Kalkan Kristina , Forkapic Sofija , Markovic Slobodan , Bikit Kristina , Tosic Radislav , Mrdja Dusan , Milentijevic Nikola
Published: July 2022

This paper is dealing with soil erosion assessment using two different
approaches: nuclear model and erosion potential method, also known as
Gavrilovic's method. Complex valley systems on Titel Loess Plateau were
selected for investigation. Radiocaesium is favored in many studies as an
optimal erosion tracer due to its relatively long half-life, negligible
renewal in the environment and strongly binding ability onto soil particles.
The use of gamma-spectrometry in environmental testing laboratories acts as
a precise and fast measurement technique for determination of 137Cs
activity concentrations, without the need for complicate preparation of
samples. Annual erosion and deposition rates were estimated according to
three conversion models for uncultivated land: the profile distribution
model with two years of dominant fallout of 137Cs (1963 and 1986) and the
diffusion and migration model using WALLING software. The applied nuclear
models were validated by comparison with erosion potential model which is
the most relevant empirical model for erosion processes in torrent valleys.
The obtained results indicate a good agreement with overall low values of
average annual soil erosion rates on all soil profiles in the investigated
area. Correlation analysis has determined the different influence of
slope, terrain curvature, and vegetation index on the erosion models.
RhoA as a signaling hub controlling glucagon secretion from pancreatic α-cells
Authors: Ng Xue Wen , Chung Yong Hee , Asadi Farzad , Kong Chen , Ustione Alessandro , Piston David W.
Published: July 2022

Glucagon hypersecretion from pancreatic islet α-cells exacerbates hyperglycemia in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes.  Still, the underlying mechanistic pathways that regulate glucagon secretion remain controversial.  Among the three complementary main mechanisms (intrinsic, paracrine and juxtacrine) proposed to regulate glucagon release from α-cells, juxtacrine interactions are the least studied.  It is known that tonic stimulation of α-cell EphA receptors by ephrinA ligands (EphA forward signaling) inhibits glucagon secretion in mouse and human islets and restores glucose inhibition of glucagon secretion in sorted mouse α-cells, and these effects correlate with increased F-actin density.  Here, we elucidate the downstream target of EphA signaling in α-cells.  We demonstrate that RhoA, a Rho family GTPase, plays a key role in this pathway.  Pharmacological inhibition of RhoA disrupts glucose inhibition of glucagon secretion in islets and decreases cortical F-actin density in dispersed α-cells and α-cells in intact islets.  Quantitative FRET biosensor imaging shows that increased RhoA activity follows directly from EphA stimulation.  In addition to modulating F-actin density, we show that EphA forward signaling and RhoA activity affects α-cell Ca2+ activity in a novel mechanistic pathway.  Finally, we show that stimulating EphA forward signaling restores glucose inhibition of glucagon secretion from human T1D donor islets.  
Pulse Oximetry Screening of Newborn for Critical Congenital Heart Disease in Developing Countries
Authors: Lakra Mahaveer Singh
Published: July 2022

Congenital heart disease is the most commonly diagnosed congenital anomaly in the neonatal period. It has been proved by studies that neonatal examination and murmur are not reliable signs in newborns and we may miss underlying heart problems. If routine neonatal screening is not undertaken, there is a 25% possibility of missing congenital heart disease and 40% of these cases may present with shock and circulatory collapse in the hospital in the subsequent days. As the delay in diagnosis may increase the neonatal mortality so all newborn babies must be screened before discharge. All babies who failed pulse oximetry threshold of less than 95% must be screened by preductal and post ductal pulse oximetry as underlying hypoxaemia may be missed clinically. Many studies have proven that if a newborn is screened within the first week, the chances of missing cardiac problems drop dramatically, to less than 30%. Seeing the burden and severity of this illness, it is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association that neonatal screening should be done in all developed, affordable countries. This article aimed at making physicians and policymakers in developing countries aware of the need to detect critical heart disease at the right time and addresses to implement policies so that intervention can be done timely to prevent neonatal mortality
Neoliberalismo por Christian Laval
Authors: Amorim Fabricio Augusto Antonio , Chicarino Tathiana , Segurado Rosemary
Published: July 2022

Nesta entrevista à Aurora, o neoliberalismo esteve no centro da conversa. Seria o momento histórico do fim ou enfraquecimento do neoliberalismo? Laval fala sobre o pensamento de Foucault e Bourdieu acerca do neoliberalismo, expondo com esses intelectuais são importantes para refletir o tema. Também problematiza como o neoliberalismo permeia as religiões no Ocidente, a relação de líderes de extrema direita com o neoliberalismo, assim como suas percepções sobre o papel do Estado diante da pandemia de Covid-19. 

Para Laval, a angústia pela pandemia de Covid-19 não gerou conscientização dos sujeitos por uma mudança radical no modelo neoliberal e no capitalismo destrutivo. Existe um longo caminho para a transformação das subjetividades. Um longo tempo de crise ainda deve atravessar os imaginários por décadas. Uma das práticas de mudança envolve mais democracia nas instituições de conhecimento para criar novas subjetividades, além de construir o comum, isto é, “regime de práticas, de lutas, de experiências, de instituições e de pesquisas que visam passar para um depois do capitalismo, inscrevendo esse depois no presente”. Uma democracia real depende desse ‘depois’ do capitalismo e da superação do modelo neoliberal. Christian Laval aponta para esse “depois” e a um maior princípio de responsabilidade para a preservação do planeta.

Authors: Tangkur Michael , Nabie Michael Johnson , Ali Clement Ayarebilla
Published: July 2022

We explored junior high school teachers' knowledge and the impact of indigenous games in teaching basic mathematical concepts. The researchers employed the qualitative phenomenological design to address the purpose, objectives and research questions. The accessible sampling was used to sample 70 teachers (65 males, 5 females) for phase one of the study. Out of 70 teachers, five (three males and two females) were purposively sampled for the study's second phase. Two instruments, a semi-structured interview guide and an observation checklist were used to collect data. The data was analyzed thematically to reflect the research questions. The findings of both phases revealed that most teachers had adequate knowledge of indigenous games and knew the impact of indigenous games on students’ learning of mathematics. In particular, the observation checklist showed that some teachers still adhered to the traditional approach (a direct teaching method) and required the knowledge of indigenous games to enhance their teaching skills and techniques. Therefore, in-service training, workshops and other continuous professional development should be organized to update teachers' knowledge on the effective use of indigenous games in the teaching and learning of mathematics.

At present, process monitoring by comparing the current parameters against a specified setpoint is widespread at thermal power plants. This approach does not allow diagnosing the emergence of a trend leading to an emergency mode at early stages. On the other hand, the analysis of time series of parameters by means of methods of statistical process monitoring allows detecting deviations from normal mode of equipment operation before emergency conditions appear. The purpose of this work is to analyze existing works in the field of application of statistical methods of monitoring. A systematic literature review (SLR) method was used in the analysis. The research process included clarifying research questions, searching for articles in databases, and forming article evaluation criteria. The specifics of the process at TPPs, which impose restrictions on the application of individual methods of statistical monitoring, were formulated. The study resulted in 64 publications, which were filtered and classified into rating groups. The highest ranked articles were used to determine the most effective statistical monitoring methods to be used on thermal power equipment. The answer to the questions posed in the study also reveals the existing problems of applying statistical methods of monitoring. The results of the study will help to identify the most applicable statistical methods for thermal power industry. It is concluded that the most suitable methods for application on thermal power equipment are methods of control charts (both Shewhart charts and Hotelling charts) based on either process parameters or generalized variance, as well as the use of autocorrelation models.
The effects of customer incivility and employee incivility on depersonalization: The mediation effect of forgiveness
Authors: DALGIÇ Ali
Published: August 2022

This study examined the effect of customer incivility and employee incivility on depersonalization as well as the mediation role of forgiveness in the effects of customer incivility and employee incivility on depersonalization. The study was conducted with 352 employees of five-star hotels in Antalya, Turkey. The results show that customer incivility and employee incivility increase hotel employees’ depersonalization while forgiveness partially mediates the impact of customer incivility and employee incivility on depersonalization. These findings indicate that hotel managers should encourage employees’ tendency to forgive, increase managerial support and training for employees, and learning about different cultures.

Trascendentales y desafío antropológico y cultural en Karol Wojtyla/Juan Pablo II
Authors: Pardo Alejandro
Published: July 2022

Consciente de la ruptura entre fe y cultura propia de la modernidad, Karol Wojtyla/Juan Pablo II asumió el reto de recristianizar la sociedad y la cultura a través de una antropología personalista y trascendente, de honda raíz cristocéntrica, sobre la que construyó un sistema filosófico que nutría múltiples facetas del obrar humano, en particular, el ámbito cultural. Y lo hizo utilizando, como vigas maestras, la perenne búsqueda de la verdad, el bien y la belleza, «eternos estigmas de Dios», que se encuentran en el alma humana y en el mundo. Este artículo pretende mostrar hasta qué punto estos trascendentales están presentes, de manera continua, en su pensamiento, tanto en su época de profesor universitario como después de acceder a la sede petrina.
El Institucionalismo americano y la Escuela de Economía del Trabajo y de las Relaciones Laborales: Thorstein Bunde Veblen y la Escuela de Wisconsin
Authors: Monereo Pérez José Luis
Published: July 2022

Desde finales del siglo XIX, la sociología Norteamericana ha tenido un gran desarrollo. Han existido dos corrientes de la sociología americana, la conservativa o conservadora de Summer a Parsons y la radical de Veblen a Mills, especialmente en lo relativo al conocimiento de la propia sociedad en sus principios y en sus diversos elementos. En su libro Teoría de la clase ociosa  (subtitulada, Un estudio económico sobre la evolución de las instituciones), aparecido en 1899, analiza la dicotomía fundamental, desde su punto de vista, entre los productivos y los improductivos, entre el instinto de laboriosidad y el innecesario e insoportable despilfarro del ocio ostentoso. El lujo social de la clase ociosa es el resultado coherente del régimen de la propiedad privada y de su dominio de las fuentes de riqueza. Son los capitanes de industria los que consiguen al mismo tiempo, en virtud de su propiedad, el ocio y el poder. El Gobierno estatal acaba por encarnar la defensa de los intereses de los negocios (Teoría de la empresa de negocios). Veblen se muestra crítico respecto al “hombre de negocios” de la modernidad, pero encuentra positiva la función del “ingeniero” o experto técnico que trabaja productivamente y con el “trabajo útil” de los productores conscientes de su condición de ciudadanos en la empresa.

La penetrante influencia de Veblen se refleja —más allá de las diferencias innegables— en la concepción de John R. Commons y Selig Perlman sobre el fenómeno sindical. Su visión se puede configurar como la propia de un “sindicalismo de negocios”. En esta lógica limitativa de acción colectiva el sindicato es refractario a la acción política estricta (actuación frente a los poderes públicos) y privilegia a la negociación colectiva como instrumento principal de acción sindical.
Acute pericarditis in patients receiving coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines: a case series from the community

Background

International agencies reported that cases of pericarditis occur very rarely following the administration of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. Herewith, we described a series of patients from the community diagnosed with acute pericarditis after vaccination.

Methods

We retrospectively included 28 patients (median age 51 years, 79% female) with or without a positive history of acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 recovered infection who were diagnosed with acute pericarditis following the administration of COVID-19 vaccine. We excluded specific identifiable causes of pericarditis, including infectious, autoimmune, neoplastic and metabolic disease. Patients were referred for a complete cardiovascular evaluation. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed and diagnosis of acute pericarditis was achieved according to current guidelines.

Results

There were 16 patients administered with Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine, 8 with Moderna/Spikevax vaccine and 4 with Astra Zeneca/Vaxzevria vaccine. Nine patients had been previously diagnosed with COVID-19, while the others had no prior history of COVID-19. Eleven patients had no comorbidity while the others had between one and four comorbidities. Ten patients had a history of rheumatic or autoimmune diseases. Chest pain was present in 24 patients. Minor ECG abnormalities were detected in 10 patients, T-wave inversion in 6, and 7 patients had concave ST elevation. The majority of patients showed mild pericardial effusions at TTE. Only two patients exhibited large pericardial effusions.

Conclusion

This case series shows a higher incidence of acute pericarditis in patients administered with COVID-19 vaccines than previously estimated, probably because of a more comprehensive assessment of clinical as well as echocardiographic parameters.
