Authors:   ootan College of Nursing, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat -384315, India, Mahalakshmi Beeman
Published: September 2023

It is not common to discuss child sexual assault in open conversation. Hence, it is vital to explain the distinction between good and harmful contact in order to stop harmful touch and preserve the safety of children. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the efficacy of teaching initiatives addressing appropriate and inappropriate touching with a view to reducing child sexual abuse. Thus, an experimental research design was employed. Further, a single group pre-test and post-test design was chosen. The data collected from 60 school children at Visnagar, Gujarat, India. Data shows that the mean post-test knowledge score, which averaged at 16.03, was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (5.6). Thus, educational programs on child sexual abuse can significantly improve awareness among school children.
Green tea extract and hydroxyl-chloroquine combination enhances apoptosis in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells

Polyphenols, including catechins from green tea extract, have long been known for their potential anti-tumour activities. However, the precise mechanisms underlying their actions remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of green tea extract on A549 cells, a type of non-small lung cancer cells. A549 cells treated with green tea extract (GTE) were examined using an inverted light microscope and a fluorescence microscope. Cell sensitivity was evaluated using the MTT assay, while cell death was assessed using the Tali image-based cytometer. Ultra structural changes were observed using a transmission electron microscope. The findings suggested that even at the highest dose tested (150 μM), GTE did not exhibit toxic effects on A549 cells. Likewise, treatment with GTE resulted in a minimal, dose-dependent increase in the population of apoptotic cells. However, the analysis of cell structures using light and electron microscopy revealed an enhanced accumulation of vacuole-like structures in response to GTE. Moreover, under the fluorescence microscope, an increase in acidic vesicular organelles and the formation of LC3-II puncta were observed following GTE treatment. Assessment of autophagy function indicated that GTE-induced autophagy may serve as a self-protective mechanism against cytotoxicity, as blocking autophagy with bafilomycin A1 reduced cell viability and enhanced necrotic cell death in response to GTE treatment. In summary, our results demonstrate that A549 cells are insensitive to both low and high concentrations of green tea extract, likely due to the induction of cytoprotective autophagy. These findings suggest that the potential utility of GTE in lung cancer therapy may lie in its synergistic combinations with drugs or small molecules that target autophagy, rather than as a standalone therapy.

Orofacial injuries constitute the medico-legal cases reported, especially, in cases associated with road traffic accidents, assaults, and violence making it an emerging healthcare problem. Therefore, it is of interest to document data on the maxillofacial trauma and fractures among Indians. 150 subjects within the age of 15 to 60 years with maxillofacial fractures, detailed medical history including demographics, radiographs, medical history, associated injuries, and etiology of fractures were used for this study. Sites for both maxillary and mandibular fractures were noted. The type of intubation (medical insertion procedure) used and post-operative complications were also recorded. Lefort I, II, and III fractures were seen in 4%, 12%, 6% subjects respectively, whereas, ZMC fracture was seen in 66% study subjects. Mandibular fractures were most commonly seen in the para-symphysis region with 30% subjects followed by condylar region with 28.66% subjects. Data shows that maxillofacial trauma has a high incidence in India with RTA (road traffic accidents being the most common reason for the trauma seen in young males with significant concomitant injuries. Most common fracture is seen in mandible region. However, they can be managed well with very few postoperative complications.

Published: September 2023

FIPS 201 defines the requirements and characteristics of government-wide interoperable identity credentials. It specifies that these identity credentials must be stored on a smart card and that additional common identity credentials, known as derived PIV credentials, may be issued by a federal department or agency and used when a PIV Card is not practical. This document contains the technical specifications to interface with the smart card to retrieve and use the PIV identity credentials. The specifications reflect the design goals of interoperability and PIV Card functions. The goals are addressed by specifying a PIV data model, card edge interface, and application programming interface. Moreover, this document enumerates requirements for the options and branches in international integrated circuit card standards. The specifications go further by constraining interpretations of the normative standards to ease implementation, facilitate interoperability, and ensure performance in a manner tailored for PIV applications.

पूरे विश्व में भारतीय समाज ही एक ऐसा समाज है जिसने कभी किसी के ऊपर आक्रमण नहीं किया लेकिन हमेशा विदेशी आक्रमणों को झेला है। भारत पर ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य के आक्रमण ने तो भारतीय मूल्यों में आमूलचूल परिवर्तन करने की नाकाम कोशिश की। ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य का भारतीय समाज पर न केवल राजनीतिक और प्रशासनिक प्रभुत्व वर्षों तक बना रहा बल्कि सामाजिक प्रभुत्व भी बना रहा जिसे हम समाजशास्त्रीय भाषा में पाश्चात्यीकरण कहते हैं। ब्रिटिश काल में भारतीय संस्कारों और संस्कृतियों पर पाश्चात्य प्रभाव धीरे धीरे आच्छादित होता रहा किन्तु वर्तमान के वैश्विक सहभागिता और तकनीकी क्रांति ने तो हर देश के सामाजिक जीवन की चूलें हिला दीं हैं। भारतीय समाज बहुत तेजी से बदल रहा है और एक संक्रमण काल से गुजर रहा है किन्तु दुर्भाग्य यह है कि हम न तो पाश्चात्य रह गए हैं और न ही भारतीय बल्कि एक वर्णसंकर संस्कृति में जी रहे हैं। लिव-इन रिलेशनशिप भी इसी वर्णसंकर संस्कृति की देन है।

Introduction: B-lynch suture is effective in controlling delivery haemorrhage due to uterine atony that is resistant to medical and obstetric measures. However, there are still concerns about the potential complications resulting from poor uterotubal perfusion. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of patients who underwent a B-Lynch technique at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Mère-Enfant Fondation Jeanne Ebori (CHUMEFJE) from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021. Results: The mean age was 28.9 ± 3.7 years. The B-Lynch technique stopped haemorrhage in 20 (83.3%) patients. Immediate or short-term post-operative complications were dominated by haemorrhagic shock in 5 (20.8%) patients. No deaths were recorded. Return of childbirth was observed in 18 (90%) patients. Eight (40%) patients became pregnant spontaneously. None presented major complications during pregnancy. Conclusion: The B-lynch technique is effective in cases of delivery haemorrhage caused by uterine atony that is resistant to medical and obstetric measures. It reduces maternal mortality while generally preserving subsequent fertility

Published: September 2023

Background: The world witnessed a sudden outbreak of a new strand of a deadly disease that rapidly spread throughout the globe. The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) first originated in Wuhan, Hubei province of China in December 2019. This virus strain extended quickly throughout China and became a pandemic in the country. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed the COVID-19 novel coronavirus as a universal pandemic. Methods: Appropriate keywords were included in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar to identify the available data. Result: Due to the rapid spread and fatality of the COVID-19, the 2020 Olympic Games formally slated for July 24 until August 9, 2020, will commence on July 23 to August 8, 2021. In March 2020, most of the European professional sports leagues, including football, were discontinued for the predictable future. Conclusion: Football resumption after the lockdown was challenging because of the inability to affirm the health status of the players when they return to their clubs. Every measure must be clear to reduce the risk of the disease and to clarify the response strategy about self-protection to the public. The sport organizing-bodies control-outlines for sports events should be strategized based on the laydown sports rules and quarantine protocols. National public health organizations and sports associations should work together to protect every level of human health and sport all over the world.

Football is one of the sports with more audience and women’s football has undergone a notable evolution at all levels. Scoring goals is the most relevant indicator of success in football. The aims of this study were to analyse, looking for patterns and/or differences in how gools are obtained through European elite women's teams. The goals were analysed through: way of obtaining the goal, type of finishing, type of assistance, time interval in which the goal was scored, assistance zone and finishing zone. A frequency analyses was performed through total number of actions of 174 goals from French and English teams in the respective national championships. The highest percentage of goals was obtained through offensive organization, also giving importance to the number of goals through tactical schemes (set balls). The zone where most goal submissions occur was in the penalty area, and the time interval of the games where the most goals were scored was defined between the 31 and 61 minutes. Differently from men’s, elite women’s football teams obtain the highest percentage of goals through the offensive organization, with a substantial number of goals also being scored through tactical schemes.

Authors: Özdemir Selin
Published: September 2023

Curricula are the guidelines prepared to carry out education and training activities in accordance with their purposes. Teaching programs are prepared based on the goals of the school or educational institution, student needs, learning and teaching processes, course contents, learning materials, measurement and evaluation systems, teacher and student roles and relationships. The curriculum aims to develop students’ knowledge, skills and abilities in a specific discipline by supporting their individual development. It can be said that education and training programs have a structure that changes and develops people’s behaviors and thoughts in many ways. Students, teachers, and educational programs are among the most important elements that shape and guide the education system. Therefore, while creating the education program, it should be aimed to be focused on meeting the needs of the society as well as the views of students and teachers. Fine Arts High Schools are private schools that aim to provide students with artistic and cultural skills. They offer educational programs where students can develop their skills in art branches such as music, painting, dancing, and increase their artistic accumulation with art history, aesthetics and culture courses. This study aims to determine the differences in the individual instrument (Violin) course curriculum conducted in Fine Arts High Schools between 1990-2022. Relational screening pattern based on qualitative research model was used in the study and status determination and evaluation was performed. In the study, the relevant reports published in the Republic of Turkey Ministry of National Education and MoNE Journal of Communiqués were used to specify the main objectives and program objectives of the individual instrument (violin) course curricula of Fine Arts High Schools between 1990-2022. Document analysis, which is used in case studies, was used in the analysis of the data. When examining the violin curricula in fine arts high schools from their establishment to the present day, it becomes evident that there has been a continuous emphasis on the development of technical and theoretical knowledge, as well as repertoire building. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the violin lesson curriculum of 2022 covers the programs of previous years. Also in order to cultivate well-rounded musicians in fine arts high schools, it is crucial to develop an education plan that not only focuses on technical and theoretical aspects but also places a strong emphasis on enhancing musicality, interpretation, and music literacy. The results were collected under the relevant programs and suggestions were made for the field.

Fine arts high schools are schools that form the basis for vocational music education given in higher education institutions. These schools form the basis for higher institutions; therefore, it is of great importance that the contents of their curriculum be of a quality that will prepare them for higher education institutions. Based on this purpose, in this study, eight music department programs that have been reached in the fine arts high school music departments from their establishment to the present day were examined comparatively. Document analysis method was used in the data collection process of this case study model research, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data obtained by document analysis were analyzed by content analysis. When the findings obtained from the research were examined, it was found that the most striking results were that the biggest change at the first and second-grade level was in the foreign language course, as a result of the separation of high schools as “Music” department, “Turkish Folk Music” department and “Turkish Art Music” department in 2016, the piano course at the third-grade level was only included in the third and fourth grades of the music curriculum, and the course, which was under the name of “choir” until 2005, was divided into “Western Music Choir” and “Turkish Music Choir” after 2005. Suggestions were given in line with the results of the research.

The increase in the world population day by day affects the balance of the living world, nature, and environment. Due to unawareness and misuse, the emergence of some environmental imbalances causes the formation of ecological problems. In order to prevent the emergence of these problems or to combat them, everyone in the education process should have an awareness level of ecological literacy. The aim of the research conducted in this direction is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the ecological literacy levels of teachers. Within the framework of the purpose of the research, a literature review on ecology and ecological literacy was conducted. An item pool of 96 items was created. Language, meaning and content validity of the items forming the trial scale form was ensured. The data of the research were obtained with the participation of 879 teachers working in public schools in Turkey. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed on the obtained data. The final ecological literacy scale consists of three different components: cognitive (α=.84), affective (α=.87), and behavioral (α=.92) attitudes. According to the results of the analysis, it can be said that the scale developed is reliable enough to measure teachers’ ecological literacy attitudes.

Effects of Teacher Candidates’ Social Media Use on Reading Cultures in Turkey
Authors: Şi̇mşek Tuğba
Published: September 2023

With rapidly developing technology, the most common social area of our lives has become social media. While social media brings with it new notions, it also affects the culture we have. One of them is the culture of reading. Reading culture includes making the act of reading a philosophy of life. The act of reading requires education. The most common place where we receive this education is in schools. Teachers, one of the basic elements of schools, play an important role in the transformation of reading into a reading culture. For this purpose, this research aims to determine the effect of teacher candidates’ social media use on their reading culture. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, reading culture was examined according to the variables of gender, class level, region of residence, number of siblings, economic status of the family, education level of parents, and number of annual book readings. In the second part, the reading cultures of teacher candidates were examined according to the variables of daily online time, duration of social media use, age of having a social media account, and purposes of using social media. The study was created by scanning method. Türkel et al. (2017) developed the scale applied. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 24. Mann-Whitney U Test was used for pairwise comparisons and the Kruskal-Wallis H test for multiple comparisons. In conclusion, there was a significant difference in favor of women in terms of teacher candidates’ reading cultures and gender variables. In terms of grade level, a significant difference was found in favor of 3rd and 4th-grade levels. There is no significant difference in reading culture in terms of other variables. However, when we ignore the student with a master’s education level, the reading culture score of the teacher candidates with illiterate parents in the education level of the parents was higher. Again, in terms of daily use of social media, the reading culture scores of the candidates who used one hour or less were higher. The social media factor is important in terms of transferring and enriching the reading culture.
Fra faglig undren til problemstilling i et Bachelor projekt
Authors: Pedersen Lena Kramer
Published: September 2023

Denne artikel er et eksempel på, hvordan en tekstil faglig undren fra en helt almindelig hverdag som underviser på VIA University College, blev kimen til et udviklingsprojekt med strikket møbelstof som produktramme. Gennem en redegørelse af og refleksion over egen forskning argumenterer jeg for, hvor i processerne det er muligt at implementere forskningsbaseret undervisning. Samtidig tjener artiklen for studerende, som et eksempel der viser, hvordan et forskningsprojekt kan handle om hvordan en undren inden for et konkret fagområde, kan danne grundlag for udvikling af ny viden. I artiklen undersøger og diskuterer jeg gennem teori der centrerer sig om læreprocesser med særligt fokus på læring når det sker gennem kroppen, og ved hjælp af en case, hvor en studerende på baggrund af min forskning arbejdede med et lignende tekstilt udviklingsprojekt i sit Bachelor projekt. Casen understøtter, at når underviserens forskningsbidrag integreres, enten direkte i undervisningen eller som svagt rammesat undervisning gennem værkstedsarbejde, så vil de studerende opnå viden om og praktisk erfaring med praksisnære problemstillinger og processer. Der argumenteres i artiklens sidste del med afsæt i teori og case, for hvordan praktiske færdigheder udført med kroppen kan tilegnes og derigennem føre til læring. Læring der udvikler og kompetenceløfter såvel mig som underviser, som de studerende. Kompetencer der gør studerende i stand til, at anvende metoder og fagtermer og derigennem styrker deres evne til at kommunikere med og i praksis.

Conceitos e tipologias de inovação: uma revisão bibliométrica
Authors: Campos Juliana Alves , Silva Rosângela Sarmento , Corrêa Rúbia Oliveira , De Carvalho Gustavo Dambiski Gomes , Carvalho Agair Juliete Cavalcante
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é fornecer uma revisão bibliométrica das tipologias e conceitos da inovação, a partir de estudos clássicos à atualidade, para verificar a evolução desse termo, ou seja, da inovação. Para isso, os trabalhos estão divididos em clássicos (1934 até 2016) e recentes (2017 até 2021). As etapas da análise das obras seguem a seguinte sequência: (1) delimitação do tema de pesquisa – conceitos e tipologias para a inovação; (2) escolha da fonte de dados - SciELO Citation Index (Web of Science); (3) escolha da palavra-chave - “innovation”; (4) seleção dos artigos – 897 artigos indicados inicialmente pela base de dados; (5) análise dos artigos selecionados – 209 artigos adequados ao propósito; (6) análise de redes - coocorrência de palavras-chave e cocitação por meio do software VosViewer. Em seguida, uma análise minuciosa sobre o conceito de inovação é efetivada. A leitura dos 897 artigos fornecidos pela SciELO, com base nos critérios desta pesquisa, leva à observação de que o conceito de inovação sofreu uma evolução significativa. Essa ascensão acompanha as mudanças tecnológicas ocorridas na segunda revolução industrial (iniciada no final do século XIX, entrando pelo século XX) e na revolução digital (a partir de 1960), conforme Schwab (2016). Concluiu-se que, embora não haja consenso sobre uma única definição, o termo e as tipologias para a inovação devem ser utilizadas de forma sistemática, para que a aplicação indiscriminada do termo não deturpe o real significado de um conceito tão importante e necessário para a ciência.  A confrontação entre obras recentes e clássicas objetiva averiguar a evolução dos estudos e fornecer uma visão ampla sobre relação teórica ao longo do tempo e ressalta que, embora as novas tecnologias venham ganhando espaço notório na sociedade, elas não devem ser sinônimos de inovação, já que esta possui um conceito muito mais complexo e abrangente devendo ser vista também pelo o aspecto do ambiente e dos serviços, por exemplo, como apregoa o Manual de Oslo e conforme Crossan e Apaydin (2010).

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of coconut water as an extender agent on the reproductive variables of Clarias gariepinus. The study used 18 healthy broodstocks with body weight ranging from 300 g to 750 g. The four treatments used were: 100% diluted pituitary gland for T1, 75% coconut water and 25% diluted pituitary gland for T2, 50% coconut water and 50% diluted pituitary gland for T3, and 25% coconut water and 75% diluted pituitary gland for T4. T1 had the highest mean fecundity value with 33,366.67 eggs, followed by T3 with 33,416.67 eggs, while T2 had the lowest with 27,466.67 eggs. The GSI was highest in T1 at 12.96%, while T2 had the lowest at 10.69%. The fertilization rate was significantly different among treatments, with T1 having the highest rate of 95.94%, followed by T4 at 92.43%. T3 and 2 had rates of 88.26% and 87.14%, respectively. The hatchability rate was also significantly different among treatments, with T1 having the highest rate of 91.5%, followed by T4 at 84.1%. T3 had a hatchability rate of 76.2%, and T2 had the lowest hatchability rate of 73.1%. The water temperature was within the optimum range, but the pH fell short of the optimum range. Overall, the study suggests that using coconut water as an extender agent can improve fertilization and hatchability rates in C. gariepinus injected with pituitary gland extract.
