The role of research in contemporary art learning and practice--provide a learning and evaluation approach for learners and educators
Authors: WANG Kai , YUAN Mengyao
Published: July 2024

In recent years, domestic art education has become increasingly mature and internationalized. On the basis of traditional art education, more and more schools and institutions are incorporating more diverse contemporary art education content. This is not only in line with the needs of China's increasingly developing art and design industry, but also more in line with the historical process and laws of art development. However, the diverse contemporary art makes its evaluation system very different from traditional art (painting), which includes installations, images, behaviors, etc. The diversity makes it difficult to unify its evaluation in teaching. As educators, we need to provide an effective method to teach students and evaluate their works. Therefore, research has become an effective method and tool for learning and evaluating contemporary art.

Authors: ZHU Lei
Published: July 2024

With the rise of China and its international status, more and more people are interested in and demand for learning Chinese. At the same time, the process of globalization has also led to increasingly frequent exchanges and cooperation among countries, which in turn has promoted the demand for Chinese language education. This study aims to explore the necessity of promoting international Chinese language education and the corresponding promotion methods. First, the importance of promoting international Chinese language education is analyzed, including consolidating the international influence of the Chinese language, assisting national economic development, and enhancing international communication and understanding. Then, the study proposes specific ways to promote international Chinese education, including online publicity and enrollment campaigns, increasing scholarships and preferential policies, cooperating in Chinese language courses, promoting Chinese language examinations and certification systems, and improving the "quality" and "quantity" of international Chinese language teachers. This study can provide references and suggestions for further promoting the development of international Chinese language education.

Educational environment and college students: an investigation of scientific literacy of early childhood education students in two Chinese normal universities
Authors: LI Yifan , LIU Yanhui
Published: July 2024

Scientific literacy was seen as an important component of national quality, also as the foundation of social civilization. This study investigated the scientific literacy (SL) of early childhood education students (ECEs) in two Chinese normal universities. Altogether 177 ECEs were surveyed and randomized semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 ECEs. The results revealed that ECEs demonstrated unbalanced and uneven scientific knowledge reserves. While they possessed positive attitudes in improving the SL, there was minimal progress in terms of taking action. Clearly, school, family and society, the so called educational environment, had insufficient support for ECEs' SL development.

Exploring some problems in piano teaching in preschool education
Authors: LIU Jiao
Published: July 2024

With the continuous development of society, higher requirements have been put forward for the quality of talents. As modern parents generally pay attention to their children's comprehensive quality and ability cultivation, they enable their children to fully develop in sports, art, music and other aspects from the preschool stage. In the face of the current changes and transformations in preschool education, students majoring in preschool education must master various artistic skills mentioned above in the daily learning process, so as to ensure that they can better adapt to the development needs of preschool education in the new era after graduation and be competent for modern preschool education work. However, in the process of piano teaching in preschool education, teachers often adopt the traditional mode, which makes students have poor learning enthusiasm and are not active in learning. In view of this situation, professional teachers need to change their teaching methods in time and constantly improve the piano playing ability of students majoring in preschool education. This paper is mainly based on the actual situation in the specific practice teaching process, and puts forward some relevant solutions for the listed and concretely analyzed problems. I hope that this study will be helpful to my peers.

Published: July 2024

Ці спостереження були проведені з метою вивчення впливу комплексного фітогенного водорозчинного стимулятора «VATAGANIMAL», основною діючою речовиною якого є ефірні олії кукурудзи, кмину, кунжуту, розмарину, часнику, чебрецю на стан здоров’я, витрати корму, особливості і характер росту і розвитку курчат-бройлерів різної статі, а також динаміку змін фізіологічних процесів у курчат в процесі досліджень за гематологічними показниками. Для досліду відібрали 200 голів курчат-бройлерів кросу “Кобб-500” в добовому віці, яких розділили за принципом аналогів на 2 групи – контрольну і дослідну. Групи були поділені за статтю на рівні по кількісні курчат підгрупи. У відповідності до настанови застосування, для дослідної птиці додавали у воду фітодобавку «VATAGANIMAL», у дозі 3 г на 10 літрів води протягом всього періоду вирощування – 42 дн. Все піддослідне поголів’я птиці протягом всього часу спостережень утримувалось в однакових умовах, на глибокій підстилці. Основою раціону для курчат-бройлерів обох груп протягом всього періоду вирощування служили повнораціонні комбікорми які включали стартерний, ростовий та відгодівельний періоди. За рахунок кращої енергії росту, збереженості у бройлерів з дослідної групи спостерігалося зменшення витрат корму на одиницю приросту на 7,7%. Починаючи з 7-добового віку, дослідні курчата мали на 4,5 г (2,45%) вищу живу масу (188,5 ± 2,70г) порівняно з ровесниками із контрольної групи (184,0 ± 2,88г). Середня передзабійна жива маса бройлерів дослідної групи склала 2682,1 ± 39,31 г, тоді як у контрольній групі цей показник був меншим – 2472,2 ± 35,16 г. За шість тижнів спостереження середня жива маса курчат з дослідної групи майже на 8,5% (Р<0,001) була вищою, ніж у ровесників з контрольної групи. Зазначена тенденція була характерна для всіх статевих підгруп. Бройлери обох груп характеризувалися високим рівнем статевого диморфізму за живою масою. Протягом всього періоду показник рівня статевого диморфізму збільшувався і перед забоєм досяг у курчат дослідної групи 205,9г (7,98%), тоді як у ровесників контрольної групи статеві відмінності в живій масі були меншими – 154,2г (6,44%). Проведені гематологічні спостереження не виявили значних міжгрупових відмінностей (Р<0,05). Вміст вивчених морфологічних та біохімічних показників у крові всіх курчат знаходився в межах фізіологічних норм. Міжгрупові відмінності по більшості випадків незначні, в межах похибки, та можуть використовуватися тільки для тенденційних висновків.

Authors: Главатчук Віта Анатоліївна
Published: July 2024

У науковій статті описано вплив пробіотичних препаратів на інтенсивність росту і гематологічні показники коропа. Розглянуто питання стимуляції вродженого імунітету коропа за допомогою натуральних і синтетичних імуномодуляторів, а також диверсифіковані програми імунологічного захисту в аквакультурі. Метою роботи є визначення впливу пробіотичного препарату з L. Plantarum на біохімічні та лінійні показники коропа. Об’єкт дослідження – однорічки лускатого коропа української нивківської селекції. Предмет дослідження – маса екземплярів риб, лінійні проміри тіла, біохімічні показники крові, приріст живої маси. Для виконання поставленої мети необхідно було: провести моніторинг лінійних та масових змін коропа; розрахувати середньоарифметичні показники маси тіла за різними дослідними групами; провести біохімічні дослідження крові коропів; сформулювати висновки щодо доцільності використання пробіотика. Наукова новизна. Комбікорм із додаванням пробіотика L. Plantarum та пробіотика, що містить наноселен, використовувалися для годівлі однорічних коропів з метою вивчення впливу складу раціону на темпи росту і біохімічні показники крові. Найкращі результати за динамікою живої маси були отримані у дослідної групи, в раціон якої включали наночастинки селену та пробіотичний препарат. Під час аналізу показників крові у досліджуваних груп виявлено аналогічну картину до оптимізації метаболічного та антиоксидантного статусу. Встановлено, що додавання наноселену у поєднанні з пробіотиками знижує біомаркери оксидативного стресу і перекисного окислення ліпідів, що оптимізує метаболічні показники та зменшує оксидативний стрес у риб. Практичне значення досліджень. Максимальний позитивний ефект при отриманні рибопосадкового матеріалу коропа підвищеної ваги спостерігався при введенні до основного раціону пробіотика L. Plantarum в комплексі із селенітом натрія із розрахунку 1 г на 1 кг комбікорму.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: The purpose of this case study was to report the compound odontoma’s founding in a panoramic radiograph.
Case Report: An 11-year-old female patient came with her parents to the pedodontics of Dental Hospital Padjadjaran Bandung with the chief complaint of a palatal bite with an unerupted left maxillary posterior tooth. Then the patient took the panoramic and cephalometry radiographs to confirm the diagnosis.  The result from the panoramic radiograph was that there were multiple radioopaques with a tooth-like structure contained, surrounded by a radiolucent band, and the lesion had a corticated, well-defined border. Radiodiagnosis has been established as a compound odontoma associated with an unerupted maxillary second premolar.
Conclusion: Compound odontoma is a benign tumor that often occurs at the age of tooth development and often causes delayed tooth eruption. Panoramic radiographs as radiographic aids play a very important role in identifying these tumors.

Discussione a seguito dell'articolo: "La psicologia della salute come professione: stato, prospettive e implicazioni per la disciplina e la formazione" di Bosio, Vecchio e Lozza pubblicato nel fascicolo 2024/1. / Scoppiare di salute?
Authors: Salvatore Sergio
Published: July 2024

Il lavoro propone la tesi secondo la quale il riferimento alla nozione di salute è utile per dare unitarietà all'immagine della professione psicologica ma non come ancoraggio per l'intervento. Da quest'ultimo punto di vista, serve comprendere che l'intervento psicologico orientato dalla prospettiva della salute richiede modelli, metodi e tecniche, definiti in ragione degli specifici ambiti e oggetti dell'intervento. Serve inoltre precisare quale sia la funzione specifica e caratterizzante della psicologia della salute, rispetto ai profili di intervento psicologico esercitati in altri ambiti (ad es. psicologia clinica, scolastica, del lavoro, dello sport).

Il contributo è un commento al paper di Bosio, Vecchio e Lozza dal titolo "La psicologia della salute come professione: stato, prospettive e implicazioni per la disciplina e la formazione". Il commento si focalizza sostanzialmente sulla formazione degli psicologi in relazione al bisogno di salute della comunità. È condotta un'analisi dell'evoluzione degli ordinamenti della laurea in psicologia a partire dal 1999 e ne sono evidenziate criticità e risorse. Attenzione particolare è dedicata alla formazione attraverso il tirocinio, lugo in cui la distanza tra formazione accademica e formazione professionale sembra allungarsi. Il commento si conclude con u richiamo all'università perché si faccia carico più estesamente dell'intervento psicologico a pro-mozione e protezione della salute delle comunità.

La prospettiva di costruire una rete nazionale di psicologia di territorio può rappresentare un modo per rispondere alle questioni cruciali che Claudio Bosio, Luca Vecchio ed Edoardo Lozza individuano negli scenari professionali, disciplinari e formativi che caratterizzano la psi-cologia della salute. Intendiamo proporre alcune riflessioni per una strategia che superi la frammentazione nella crescita dell'offerta psicologica sul territorio, riaffermando l'autonomia culturale, professionale e organizzativa della psicologia. Cercheremo anche di rimarcare oppor-tunità e responsabilità che impegnino università, soggetti istituzionali e professionali nel com-pito di portare ordine e accompagnare la professionalizzazione degli psicologi del territorio.

Gli interventi di discussione dell'articolo-bersaglio: "La psicologia della salute come professione …" stimolano gli Autori a disegnare un percorso di costruzione scientifico-professionale della psicologia della salute (PdS) come processo aperto, articolato in divenire, fondato sull'intreccio fra cinque dimensioni-base: a) costruzione fenomenica (sviluppo stori-co-socio-culturale di rappresentazioni, modelli, pratiche di salute); b) costruzione scientifica (sviluppo di teorie e metodi ancorati a un paradigma); c) costruzione professionale (sviluppo di posizionamenti, profili, contesti professionali); d) costruzione formativa (sviluppo di percorsi, obiettivi e delle competenze attese); e) costruzione istituzionale ("territorializzazione" della PdS sul piano scientifico-professionale in relazione al welfare e alla servitizzazione dell'offerta di salute). Il processo è disegnato in modo sistemico e circolare.

Isolamento sociale e solitudine risultano essere fattori di rischio rilevanti per la qualità di vita della persona anziana. Nuove modalità di interazione sociale, quali le videochiamate, apro-no un panorama di opportunità utili al fine di preservare salute mentale e legami sociali. L'uso di internet tra gli anziani è in aumento in tutto il mondo e l'emergenza legata alla pandemia da COVID-19 ne ha amplificato l'utilizzo. La rassegna sistematica ha l'intento di delineare una valutazione critica dei possibili benefici delle videochiamate per la persona anziana. Le eviden-ze indicano come le videochiamate risultino utili nel migliorare lo stato emotivo della persona anziana e nel mitigare l'isolamento sociale. I risultati vengono analizzati anche in termini di diversità e vulnerabilità individuali, impatto della pandemia, familiarità con la tecnologia e con-testi di vita.
Variabilidade comportamental produzida por dois esquemas de reforçamento
Authors: de Souza Barba Lourenco ,   Universidade de São Paulo, Hunziker Leite ,   Universidade de São Paulo
Published: July 2024

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar corno diferentes contingências de reforçamento afetama variabilidade comportamental. Quatorze ratos foram reforçados por emitir seqüências de quatro respostas 'de pressão à barra direita (O) ou esquerda (E). Alguns animais eram reforçados se o padrão de distribuição das repostas D e E dentro da seqüência diferisse do padrão apresentado nas quatro últimas (LAG). Para outros animais, a probabilidade de reforçamento aumentava com o número de alternações entre as barras (ALT). Sujeitos acoplados aos dois grupos anteriores receberam a mesma distribuição de reforços, independentemente do padrão da seqüência ou do número de alternações (YOKE). Após 40 sessões, verificou-se que ambas as contingências LAG e ALT produziram alta variabilidade comportamental, mas apenas LAG manteve esses altos índices ao longo das sessões. As contingências YOKE produziram seqüências repetitivas. Esses resultados confirmam a idéia de que essa variabilidade não é produzida pela intermitência do reforçamento. Eles também sugerem que para a variabilidade ser mantida é necessário que da seja diretamente reforçada, não sendo suficiente que se reforce o comportamento de alternar. Tais resultados são coincidentes com a hipótese de que a variabilidade é um operante.
The Politics of Allyship with Indigenous Peoples in the Canadian Refugee Serving Sector
Authors: Nobe-Ghelani Chizuru , Lumor Mbalu
Published: July 2024

What does it mean for the refugee-serving sector to be an ally to Indigenous Peoples? This is the entry point to our reflexive journey on Indigenous–refugee relations. In this conceptually orientated article, the authors seek to consider decolonizing in the refugee-serving sector in the context of settler colonial Canada. The article examines the politics of the refugee-serving sector and argue that for it to meaningfully establish with Indigenous people, we must continue to the whiteness that has constructed and organized our sector. The authors highlight the tensions that exist in between Indigenous and refugee communities and discuss ways to work with those tensions. Three concrete approaches are suggested that may lead to decolonizing in the refugee-serving sector: critical reflexivity, settler responsibility, and renewing relationships with local Indigenous communities and lands.
Learning through a Reunion of Mind-Body-Emotion-Spirits: Experience of Mindfulness-Based Reflexivity in Critical Qualitative Research
Authors: Nobe-Ghelani Chizuru
Published: July 2024

While reflexivity has been taken up as an important concept in critical qualitative research, there are few texts that illustrate explicit approaches to practicing reflexivity. Drawing on my doctoral research experience, this article fills this gap and explores how the practice of mindfulness may guide us to a rich engagement with reflexivity during the critical qualitative research process, in particular within the context of interactions with research participants. More specifically, mindfulness is put forth as a practice to invite an embodied and holistic form of learning that goes beyond cognitive knowing. I argue that a mindfulness-based reflexivity has the potential to open up a space to learn from the messiness and discomfort experienced in the research process and deepen our understanding about the operation of power relations in critical qualitative research and beyond.
Economic Potential of Enterprise: The Essence and Main Components
Authors: Husakovska Tetiana O. ,   Poltava University of Economics and Trade, Sereda Oleksii O. ,   Poltava University of Economics and Trade
Published: July 2024

The aim of the article is to study the content of the economic potential of enterprise, its structure and features of formation. In the context of dynamic changes in the national and world economy, the problems of socioeconomic development of the enterprise are becoming more and more relevant. These issues are also inextricably linked to the potential of the enterprise, in particular, its economic potential. Based on the results of the carried out analysis of existing studies, it is determined that the economic potential is considered as a set of resources, as well as the possibilities of using these resources to achieve goals and ensure development. In addition, researchers in this context talk about the ability to make a profit and the maximum possible output. The carried out analysis of the existing approaches to the interpretation of the content of the economic potential of enterprise and its structure allowed to conclude that it is a rather complicated, complex, dynamic system of all types of resources and capabilities of enterprise, also this system’s ability to effectively use them to achieve the set goals and ensure sustainable development of the enterprise in the long run. Based on the results of the analysis of approaches to determining the essence and components of economic potential, it is proposed to consider it taking into account the temporal and spatial characteristics. The primary component of the economic potential is its resource component, which contains all the resources of the enterprise and reflects the results of its past activities. The ability of an enterprise to effectively use the accumulated resources is reflected in its current potential, and the ability to ensure sustainable development is reflected in its strategic potential.

Authors: Nicholls Georgie , Eaton Georgette , Ortega Marishona , Sumera Kacper , Baliousis Michael , Hodgson Jessica , Laparidou Despina , Siriwardena Aloysius Niroshan , Leighton Paul , Redsell Sarah , Lord Bill , Bujor Tatiana , Whitley Gregory Adam
Published: July 2024

Background Each year in England, 450,000 children and young people (CYP) under 18 years of age are transported by ambulance to emergency departments. Approximately 20% of these suffer acute pain caused by illness or injury. Pain is a highly complex sensory and emotional experience. The intersection between acute pain, unwell CYP and the unpredictable pre-hospital environment is convoluted. Studies have shown that prehospital pain management in CYP is poor, with 61% of those suffering acute pain not achieving effective pain relief (abolition or reduction of pain score by 2 or more out of 10) when attended by ambulance. Consequences of poor acute pain management include altered pain perception, post-traumatic stress disorder and the development of chronic pain. This realist review will aim to understand how ambulance clinicians can provide improved prehospital acute pain management for CYP. Methods A realist review will be conducted in accordance with the Realist And Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards (RAMESES) guidance. A five-stage approach will be adopted; 1) Developing an Initial Programme Theory (IPT) – develop an IPT with key stakeholder input and evidence from informal searching; 2) Searching and screening – conduct a thorough search of relevant research databases and grey literature sources and perform screening in duplicate; 3) Document selection – assess documents for relevance and rigour in duplicate; 4) Extracting and organising data – code relevant data into conceptual “buckets” using qualitative data analysis software; and 5) Synthesis and Programme Theory (PT) refinement – utilise a realist logic of analysis to generate context-mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOCs) within and across conceptual “buckets”, test and refine the IPT into a realist PT. Conclusion The realist PT will enhance our understanding of what works best to improve acute prehospital pain management in CYP, which will then be tested and refined within a realist evaluation.

Authors: Choi In Kyeong , Chung Do Hyun , Kim Do Won , Seok Jungirl
Published: July 2024

A posterior tracheal wall rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication of tracheostomy. Several flaps based on the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, which has sufficient length and abundant blood supply, are utilized for the reconstruction of tracheal defects. We discuss here a case of a 71-year-old male with multiple organ failure and mental retardation, with posterior tracheal wall damage that had occurred during tracheostomy tube insertion. When planning the repair of the wound, additional reinforcement was necessary due to saliva leakage secondary to decreased consciousness. Direct suturing was followed by the reinforcement of SCM muscle transposition, which was conducted through cervical and endoscopic approach.

Authors: Park Sang-Wook , Kim Jae Hoon , Oh Jung Tak , Kim Sang-Wook
Published: July 2024

Nasal dermoids are congenital midline nasal lesions that occur along with encephaloceles and gliomas. They can cause both deformity of nasal structure and intracranial infection as they grow. Treatment for these lesions is be concerned with two aspects, the complete removal of the lesions and making the surgical scar cosmetically acceptable. To that goal, many surgical approaches such as vertical incision, transverse incision, lateral rhinotomy and open rhinoplasty have been introduced. A 12-month male child presented with palpable mass at nasal root. The mass was easily movable, non-compressible and did not present fistula. A well-defined cystic mass without intracranial extension was found on the computerized tomography scans. Open rhinoplasty approach was opted for according to the guardians’ preference to avoid visible facial scar, and the lesions were completely resected. The pathologic examination confirmed the lesion to be nasal dermoids. The columellar scar was negligible and there was no recurrence at 5 year-follow up after surgery.

Within this spectrum, mucinous adenocarcinoma stands as an exceedingly rare variant, and this case report aims to provide a thorough examination of its clinical, radiological, and histopathological dimensions within the context of maxillary sinus malignancies. Surgical resection is considered as treatment of choice for this kind of tumor. A 68-year-old male underwent total maxillectomy using Weber-Ferguson incision for maxillary sinus tumor in our department. The pathological report of tumor was revealed as mucinous type adenocarcinoma. The specimen was observed thoroughly, and based on immunohistochemical findings, diagnosed as mucinous type adenocarcinoma. So, we present a rare case of mucinous type adenocarcinoma arising from the maxillary sinus.
Human Elements in Pedagogical Assistants that Aid in English Language Teaching & Learning: An Offline Study
Authors: Cheeli Bhagya Prabhashini
Published: July 2024

Technological development continuously advances with additional innovations added to the existing account. Yesterday’s apps, today’s ChatGPT, and tomorrow’s extended reality applications are proof of continuous innovation in the Information Technology (IT) sector. During the 2020 pandemic, the world’s education system shifted to online teaching. By then, Artificial Intelligence (AI) had already invested in introducing pedagogical agents (PAs) in teaching through multimedia learning. There are multiple attributable studies about human-comparable on-screen agents that support teaching and improve learning performance with their human characteristics like bodily moments, spoken narration, emotional expression, and gestures. Besides, AI provided pedagogical agents with an exuberant quality of surveilling students during classes. Foreign or second language teachers typically observe emotionality in the classrooms to motivate, encourage, and provide feedback. Thus, the current study aims to investigate and compare the characteristic features of pedagogical agents with those of on-screen teachers. It will explore to what extent the features stimulate the learning process in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) / English as a second language (ESL) learning. Additionally, the present study attempts to cover the classification of emotionality and agents’ contextual appearance in teaching English classes. The study will compare the pedagogical agents’ characteristics with human screen teachers’ characteristics using one-tailed, right-tailed F-test variance. The study proves that pedagogical agents are considered equal partners with on-screen teachers based on the available characteristics. Additionally, the study signals the need for future teachers to acquire technical skills.
Managing in a Regressive Legal Environment: Employers Need to Stay the Course of Nondiscrimination
Authors: Zugelder Michael T.
Published: July 2024

Federal law expanded civil rights and equal opportunity to all employees. Major U.S. employers have embraced the expansion by using affirmative action plans and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. Concerns raised by a more conservative Supreme Court and its reversal of affirmative action in higher education, the recent enactment of regressive state laws aimed to diminish the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and invalidate affirmative action and DEI efforts should not be allowed to discourage the progress made. Employers can and should stay the course of expanded civil rights and equal opportunity in the workplace for all firm employees.

Backgrounds/Aims: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) can assess fibrotic burden in chronic liver diseases. The systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether LSM using VCTE can predict the risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods: A systematic literature search of the Ovid-Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, and KoreaMed databases (from January 2010 to June 2023) was conducted. Of the 1,345 individual studies identified, 10 studies that used VCTE were finally registered. Hazard ratios (HRs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were considered summary estimates of treatment effect sizes of ≥11 kilopascal (kPa) standard for HCC development. Meta-analysis was performed using the restricted Maximum Likelihood random effects model.Results: Among the ten studies, data for risk ratios for HCC development could be obtained from nine studies. When analyzed for the nine studies, the HR for HCC development was high at 3.33 (95% CI, 2.45–4.54) in CHB patients with a baseline LSM of ≥11 kPa compared to patients who did not. In ten studies included, LSM of ≥11 kPa showed the sensitivity and specificity for predicting HCC development were 61% (95% CI, 50–71%) and 78% (95% CI, 66–86%), respectively, and the diagnostic accuracy was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.70–0.77).Conclusions: The risk of HCC development was elevated in CHB patients with VCTE-determined LSM of ≥11 kPa. This finding suggests that VCTE-determined LSM values may aid the risk prediction of HCC development in CHB patients.

Internet of Things bekerja untuk menyediakan berbagai layanan yang menghubungkan sensor dengan aktuator. Pada masa sekarang, layanan IoT telah banyak digunakan diberbagai bidang. Dengan pertumbuhan eksponensial IoT menyebabkan meningkatnya masalah ancaman keamanan. Untuk memastikan keamanan data tersebut, diperlukan algoritma untuk mengenkripsi data. Algoritma yang paling umum dalam melakukan enkripsi adalah Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)[4]. AES adalah salah satu metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai privasi dan kerahasiaan data yang ditransfer melalui berbagai jaringan komputer. Selain AES, terdapat pula SHA256 sebagai algoritma enkripsi. Dalam implementasinya algoritma SHA256 digunakan untuk integritas data dan otentikasi pesan. Metode yang digunakan dalam meneliti perbandingan enkripsi menggunakan algoritma AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) dengan SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit), dapat mengadopsi model NDLC (Network Development Life Cycle). Baik AES maupun SHA-256 adalah algoritma yang kuat dan mapan untuk enkripsi data, dan kecepatan keduanya hampir sama dengan perbedaan yang kecil dalam ukuran milisekon.

Osteopoikilia (OPC) is a rare, benign autosomal dominant disease characterized by sclerotic bone lesions, which usually proceeds asymptomatically. It is usually diagnosed by accident with conventional radiography. In most patients, the disease is asymptomatic, but some may complain of mild joint pain and swelling. Differential diagnoses of the disease include osteoblastic metastases, primary bone tumor, mastocytosis, tuberous sclerosis, synovial chondromatosis and melanostasis. In the literature, we have found reports of the coexistence of OPC with rheumatological diseases such as fibromyalgia, reactive arthritis, familial Mediterranean fever, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthritis. Thus, the clinical case we observed is interesting not only from the standpoint of the importance of establishing a clinical diagnosis, but also the timeliness of starting treatment, which affects the prognosis of the disease.

Şehirlerin turizmde giderek daha popüler hale gelmesi konuya ilişkin akademik çalışmaların sayısının son yıllarda artmasına neden olmuştur. Ancak bu durum şehir turizmi konusu, kavramları ve sınırlarının daha karmaşık hale gelmesine yol açmıştır. Şehir turizmi, dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de hızla büyüyen bir araştırma alanıdır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Türkiye’de şehir turizmi konusunda yapılmış akademik çalışmaları sistematik literatür taraması yöntemi ile bütünleştirici bir çerçevede değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Sistematik literatür taraması yöntemi parçalı ve sürekli büyüyen bir araştırma konusunu bütünleştirmenin bir yoludur. Bu kapsamda literatür taraması Aralık 2023’te Google Akademik, DergiPark, Ulakbim, TR Dizin ve YökTez veri tabanlarında “Şehir Turizmi”, “Kent Turizmi” “Şehirsel Turizm” ve “Kentsel Turizm” anahtar kelimeleri ile yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda 34 makale ve 19 tez olmak üzere toplamda 53 çalışma araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu çalışmalar içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre ulusal literatürde şehir turizmi çalışmalarının sayısının oldukça az olduğu görülmektedir.

Objective: Education is a continuous and active process, and training of health personnel is important to improve efficiency and the first condition is the identification of training needs.
Materials and Methods: In the Hospital of Balıkesir University Faculty of Medicine, employees were included in the survey study, which was conducted to determine the training needs of hospital employees according to the Quality Standards in Health (SKS).
Findings: According to the survey results with 130 participants, 25.4% of the respondents said they did not need new information in professional matters, they did not feel inadequate, and 74.6% said they needed it. Professional information and training, especially when starting a new job request preferences come first. Employees also stated that they have access to information from the internet, institutional training programs, books, and are most benefited from the institutional guides and resources. In the institutional training programs, the subjects of Patient and Employee Rights, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Emergency and Disaster Management have been the most requested training subjects.
Results and Conclusion: Every institution should evaluate these in certain periods and train education accordingly. In this study, the training and preferences of our staff are assessed and these improvement works are planned. It was concluded that it would be beneficial to provide training on the needed subjects, be more active in training, especially for those new to the profession, and use institutional guides more frequently.
Consciousness, the High Probability of the Afterlife, and the Evolution of Intelligence in the Universe/s

Published: July 2024

This article explores the enduring mysteries of consciousness and the afterlife, two enigmatic topics that have fascinated humanity for ages. Despite extensive scientific efforts, the existence of an afterlife remains unproven, and understanding consciousness remains a significant challenge. The research introduces new hypotheses through simple experiments with empirical evidence and theoretical foundations. It delves into the complexities of consciousness, its relationship with the brain, and the need for interdisciplinary approaches. Boldly contemplating the probability of a continuous consciousness after death, the study argues that existing evidence strongly supports this idea. In other words, if we do not accept the hypothesis of an afterlife, we may not be able to discuss the experimental results in the context of any alternative theories. Beyond theoretical implications, it envisions practical outcomes, suggesting that insights into these mysteries could enhance human well-being and contribute to a more harmonious world. This article sheds light on age-old questions about consciousness and the afterlife. Through fresh methodologies, it seeks to provide new perspectives that could reshape our understanding of existence and inspire intellectuals to positive individual and societal advancements including psychological well-being and intelligence.
