Regulating The Acquisition Of Inheritance Rights To Land For Children With Dual Nationality From Mixed Marriages Without A Marriage Agreement
Authors: Taradita Nindyawati  , Rachmi Sulistyorini  , Hanif Nur Widhiyanti
Published: January 2025

Marriage is an important event in human life. A legal marriage means that the marriage complies with the law, religion and state. So all types of marriage are legal, as long as they follow the applicable rules, including mixed marriages. In general, mixed marriages make a pre-marital agreement with the purpose of avoiding the mixing of joint assets during the marriage period.  Problems that often arise in mixed marriages are problems related to the nationality of children born from the marriage who have dual citizenship. This will certainly affect the determination of heirs regarding ownership of land and buildings in Indonesia. This research uses a normative juridical research method using two approach methods, namely the statutory approach and the conceptual approach. The research results show that the urgency of regulating the inheritance of land rights for children who have dual citizenship from the marriage of their parents is to provide legal certainty. Appropriate arrangements regarding the inheritance of land and/or buildings for children with dual citizenship in Indonesia, namely children who have foreigner status still have the right If you receive an inheritance, it will still not be the case that the property has ownership rights.
Reformulation of Investigation Arrangements On Corruption In Law No. 31 of 1997 on Military Justice In Indonesia
Authors: Novalia Pertiwi  , Nurini Aprilianda  , Faizin Sulistyo
Published: January 2025

This study examines the reformulation of the regulation of investigation of corruption committed by members of the military within the framework of Law No. 31 of 1997 on Military Justice. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the urgency of the KPK's involvement in the investigation of military corruption cases and to formulate a more effective reformulation of legal arrangements. This study uses the type of normative research with reference to the theory of justice, the theory of legal certainty, and the theory of Criminal Law Policy, using the approach of legislation (Statute Approach) and conceptual approach (conceptual approach). Based on the results of research conducted by the author shows that the involvement of the KPK can increase the transparency and effectiveness of law enforcement in cases of military corruption. Furthermore, because the existing military justice system has not been fully able to handle the complexity of corruption, especially due to the lack of involvement of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in the investigation process. thus, reformulation is needed to create an investigation system that is more fair, responsive, and consistent with the principle of "equality before the law", by adding a special provision in the military justice law that explicitly regulates the investigation of corruption committed by members of the military by including the role of the KPK in regulating the investigation of corruption. With this change, the investigation process runs more transparently and reduces the potential for conflicts of interest that may arise when military institutions investigate corruption cases in their own environment while law enforcement for corruption crimes in the military environment is expected to run more comprehensively, and strengthen the integrity of State defense institutions.

imaginario de las comunas rurales: un antecedente histórico del fenómeno neorrural en España
Authors: Toledo Machado Luis
Published: January 2025

Desde finales de la década de 1960 hasta 1984, en España proliferaron numerosas comunas rurales que suponen un precedente histórico del actual movimiento neorrural. A partir del análisis de fuentes primarias relativas a la contracultura, el movimiento libertario y ecologista, este artículo ofrece una explicación de por qué los comuneros rurales buscaron restituir la armonía en el mundo mediante la creación de una vida cotidiana basada en el apoyo mutuo y el contacto con la naturaleza. Así, se baraja la hipótesis de que esta expectativa estuvo mediada por una serie de supuestos modernos sobre la condición humana y la naturaleza.

Published: January 2025

A partir de la primera mitad del siglo XX, muchos médicos especialistas crearon pequeñas clínicas y hospitales en las principales ciudades españolas, entre ellas Sevilla, para atender la demanda de las clases adineradas. El objetivo del trabajo es el estudio del proceso mediante el cual estas pequeñas empresas hospitalarias independientes van creciendo hasta que a finales del siglo XX son absorbidas por grandes grupos hospitalarios en manos del capital financiero. Para entender el proceso de forma histórica, el estudio se centra en la oferta de empresas hospitalarias privadas creadas en Sevilla y su integración final en grupos hospitalarios nacionales.
Se buscan, pero no siempre se encuentran. La OMS y España en tiempos de Franco
Authors: Rodríguez-Ocaña Esteban , Ballester Añón Rosa
Published: January 2025

El ingreso de España en la OMS en 1951 siguió la estrategia política de superar el aislamiento a que se había visto abocado el régimen, a la vez que recuperaba un eslabón importante en la conexión con los circuitos internacionales del conocimiento científico-técnico. A lo largo de las décadas siguientes supuso la obtención de un buen número de becas para formación especializada en centros prestigiosos, el desarrollo de hasta veintiún proyectos de colaboración y la recepción de numerosos consultores y funcionarios internacionales, junto con un grupo menor de becarios para formarse en centros españoles. La pertenencia a la OMS no produjo un efecto modernizador uniforme, sino que este varió según los problemas o espacios sanitarios interpelados y alcanzó menor intensidad en los asuntos políticamente más sensibles, como la administración sanitaria.
Реализация технологий STEM-образования в дошкольном образовательном учреждении
Authors: Коваленко С.В. , Мальченко Н.Е.
Published: January 2025

Технологии STEM-образования представляют собой перспективное дополнение к обязательной части образовательной программы в дошкольном образовательном учреждении. В то же время их системное применение осложняется следующими причинами: 1) пассивная позиция родителей по отношению к новым условиям и образовательным маршрутам развития у детей способностей к научно-техническому творчеству и основам инженерного мышления; 2) отсутствие преемственности между детским садом и школой в области применения STEM-технологий, как одной из эффективных систем выявления динамики успехов детей в научно-техническом творчестве на следующем уровне образования. В статье представлена авторская модель реализации STEM-образования в дошкольном образовательном учреждении, которая построена на инновационном, системном и технологическом подходах и включает ресурсный, методический, процессно-моделирующий, контрольно-оценочный компоненты. Данная модель обладает свойствами интегративности, комплексности, стабильности и универсальности, позволяющими достичь положительных результатов в решении поставленных целей и задач. На примерах из деятельности Детского сада комбинированного вида № 22 (г. Ейск) иллюстрируются принципиальные позиции, составляющие содержание разработанной модели.

STEM education technologies are a promising addition to the mandatory part of the educational program in a preschool educational institution. At the same time, their systematic application is complicated by the following reasons: 1) the passive position of parents in relation to new conditions and educational routes for developing children's abilities for scientific and technical creativity and the basics of engineering thinking; 2) the lack of continuity between kindergarten and school in the field of applying STEM technologies as one of the effective systems for identifying the dynamics of children's success in scientific and technical creativity at the next level of education. The article presents the author's model for implementing STEM education in a preschool educational institution, which is built on innovative, systemic and technological approaches and includes resource, methodological, process-modeling, control and evaluation components. This model has the properties of integration, complexity, stability and universality, allowing to achieve positive results in solving the set goals and objectives. Examples from the activities of the combined kindergarten No. 22 (Yeisk) illustrate the fundamental positions that make up the content of the developed model.
A Study of Folk Dance Learning by University Students
Authors: Sarula Guo
Published: January 2025

In the folk dance traditions of every country in the world, there is a dance language and artistic expressions that express the characteristics of the nation. Dance is expressed through emotional movement using dance techniques. University dance teaching methods have a great impact on the quality and level of dance education. The article will present the results of an experimental study of a method of supporting students' folk dance learning. A total of 60 students studying dance at the Hulunbuir University of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, and the School of Dance Arts of the Mongolian State University of Music and Drama of the 1st and 2nd year of the dance teacher's class participated in our experiment. The performance of students in folk dance was evaluated within 5 criteria and the results were calculated, and the performance of students in folk dance improved by 1-2 levels. When the results of the pilot study were analysed using a T-test, the results of the evaluation of students' folk-dance performance showed that the students' knowledge of dance (p = 0.001, t = 28.926), dance elements (p =0.001, t = 24.523), analysis and interpretation (p = 0.05, t = 19.467), understanding of dance (p = 0.001, t = 29.712), and dance composition and improvisation (p = 0.001, t = 19.827) were statistically significant.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the reading comprehension skills of foreign students to identify the factors that influence their ability to read in a foreign language. A total of 174 Mongolian students from universities in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China have been participated in a questionnaire survey to assess their reading abilities. Among the participants, 70.1% were found to have an intermediate level of Chinese language proficiency, suggesting that the findings of this study are credible, as the participants represent a homogeneous proficiency group. While these students self-assessed their Chinese reading ability at 81.61%, actual results varied. Specifically, 54.2% reported difficulties with scientific texts, 32.18% found literary works challenging, and 31.03% struggled with newspaper articles. These findings suggest that insufficient knowledge of scientific vocabulary is a major impediment to improving overall reading ability.
The Effects of Anthropogenic Loads on Vegetation Cover and Natural Water Quality in the Ugii Lake Basin, Mongolia
Authors: Nomindari Damdinsuren , Tuya Sanjaa , Bayartugs Tamjav
Published: January 2025

The Ugii Lake Basin, located in central Mongolia, has many natural parks with unique formations and is part of the International Ramsar Wetland Protection Agreement. To establish the "New Kharkhorum" city, it was necessary to plan and evaluate changes to the regional geological environment, including the Ugii Lake Basin. We aimed to assess changes in the vegetation cover, soil, and surface water of the Ugii Lake Basin. Field research, geochemical analysis of soil and surface water, and remote sensing image interpretation methods were used in this study. We interpreted Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite data from 2000 to 2022 to investigate changes in vegetation cover. On the basis of this classification, soil and natural water samples were chosen for onsite observations at four locations. As a result, the boundaries of the Ugii Lake Basin have been defined; they are 1017 km long and cover an area of 14,300 km2. Six normalized difference vegetation index categories were identified while the vegetation cover quality in the Ugii Lake Basin was assessed. The pH values of the surface water exceeded the standard by 0.05–0.21 in the area with a high anthropogenic load, whereas the other factors (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na++K+, SO42-, Fe, CI-, CO32-, HCO3-, NO2-, NO3-, and physiochemical parameters) did not exceed the Mongolian National Standard. The pH values in natural water were relatively high near the lake, indicating human activity in the Ugii Lake Basin. Consequently, this should be considered when designing integrated measures to address climate change and anthropogenic impacts in the Ugii Lake Basin.

Multilingual accessibility in human-screen reader interaction with web content: an exploratory study
Authors: García Garcinuño Álvaro , Torres-del-Rey Jesús
Published: January 2025

Blind people — among others with disabilities — use screen readers to interact with websites. This article examines how these assistive technologies deal with multilingual content, which is crucial for ensuring equitable access to multilingual information and activities for all. Drawing on García’s (2020) pioneering study, which systematically analysed a wide range of screen readers in a multilingual web environment, we introduce a broader, more academic perspective, using qualitative analysis tools such as thematic coding. We have enhanced García’s (2020) test pages, methodology, and analytical focus to identify specific translation-oriented challenges in the multilingual performance of screen readers and to classify them into a set of categories and subcategories of translation and localisation phenomena that may be useful in future research studies and interaction designs.

Authors: Ciobanu Dragoș , Rios Miguel , Secară Alina , Brockmann Justus , Chereji Raluca-Maria , Wiesinger Claudia
Published: January 2025

This eye-tracking experiment investigates the impact of text-to-speech (TTS) alongside translation and post-editing machine translation (PEMT) experience on translators’ cognitive effort, productivity, quality, and perceptions during PEMT from English into German. TTS substantially lowered PEMT speed and target text mean fixation duration, and increased source and target text fixation counts and dwell time. TTS had no substantial effect on edit distance or target text quality. Experience had no substantial effect. 14 out of 21 participants preferred post-editing with TTS.

Interpreter-computer interaction in RSI: the role of graphical user interfaces in interpreters’ perception
Authors: Havelka Ivana , Valacchi Margherita
Published: January 2025

Remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) has become widespread in conference interpreting (Braun, 2019; Roziner & Shlesinger, 2010; Seeber & Fox, 2022). This modality of interpreting increases the cognitive load of interpreters, who are already working in a very demanding setting (Gile, 2009; Seeber, 2017; Zhu & Aryadoust, 2022). Beyond the challenges that render simultaneous interpreting cognitively demanding in itself, interpreters now must also contend with various software platforms (Fantinuoli, 2018; Saeed et al., 2023). These platforms are rarely co-developed with interpreters, which can lead to usability issues, as we will explore. To operate these platforms effectively, interpreters rely on graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which serve their intended purpose but are infrequently designed with optimal user experience in mind. When interpreting is conducted through RSI platforms, technology acts as a mediator between interpreters and the world (Ihde, 1990, 2002). In such scenarios, technology not only mediates but also shapes our perception and understanding of the world. Certain technologies enable interpreters to extend their senses, as is the case with RSI platforms, while others, such as telephone interpreting, may limit their perception. In the realm of human-computer interaction, technology significantly influences both interpreters’ rendition and their approach to interpretation. Technology also supports the interpreting process, particularly during the terminology preparation phase. Various forms of technology operate unobtrusively in the background, including the internet, email communication, accounting programs, booking systems, and more. On the one hand, reliance on technology compels us to adhere to technical constraints, such as those presented by GUIs. On the other, technology facilitates our perception of and engagement with the external world. This paper focuses on the GUIs used in RSI and seeks to investigate how interpreters’ cognitive capacities are taxed during RSI sessions and to what extent the design of a GUI is supportive or distracting. To this end, we conducted six semi-structured interviews with professional RSI interpreters. By comparing five widely used RSI software platforms (Nimdzi, 2022), we aimed to gain insight into the interpreters’ experience and preferences regarding GUIs. Our findings show that the use of a GUI while performing RSI exerts both positive and negative effects on interpreters’ cognitive resources and underscore the critical importance of GUI design. Moreover, based on these findings, we propose a concept for a GUI design that is expected to address these issues effectively.

Pozitivna psihologija v svetovanju za kariero, izobraževanje in rehabilitacijo
Authors: Drobnič Janez
Published: January 2025

Ključni raziskovalni problem članka je proučevanje pristopov, ki temeljijo na pozitivni psihologiji na različnih področjih, da bi ugotovili aplikativno možnost tega pristopa, praktično uporabnost in morebitne pasti in težave. V ta namen je bila opravljena indukcijska metaanaliza, ki kaže na premalo reflektirano in nekritično prehajanje od pristopa obravnave klientov, ki izhaja in se orientira samo na hibe in težave tako na svetovalnih, psihoterapevtskih kot drugih obravnavah klientov, na izključno pozitivni pristop obravnave, ki se opira in orientira le na moči posameznika in zanika ter ne upošteva hibe ali primanjkljaja. Očitno je treba najti v svetovanju in terapiji ravnovesje med na eni strani orientiranostjo na posameznikove moči in prednosti ter na drugi strani orientiranostjo na slabosti, ki jih je treba zmanjševati, zdraviti ali odpravljati. Ene in druge so namrečresnične in naj jih svetovalec ali terapevt v primeru kariernega svetovanja, svetovanja v šoli in rehabilitacije oseb s posebnimi potrebami različno upošteva.
Učiteljevo postavljanje vprašanj kot način spodbujanja aktivnosti študentov
Authors: Ograjšek Sabina
Published: January 2025

Postavljanje vprašanj v študijskem procesu prispeva k uresničevanju sodobnih, na študenta osredinjenih pristopov. V prispevku se zato osredotočamo na postavljanje vprašanj kot na enega izmed načinov spodbujanja aktivnosti študentov. Zanimalo nas je, kako pogosto visokošolski učitelji in sodelavci med študijskim procesom študentom postavljajo različna vprašanja in tudi kako pogosto imajo študentje možnost postavljati vprašanja. Osredotočili smo se na zaznave študentov. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 231 študentov Pedagoške fakultete Univerze v Mariboru. Študentje so poročali, da so jim učitelji pogosto postavljali različna vprašanja, pri čemer so jim pogosteje postavljali vprašanja nižjih spoznavnih ravni. Prav tako so študentje ocenili, da so jim učitelji ponudili možnost postavljanja vprašanj. Ker bodo študentje pridobljeno znanje in izkušnje v času študija kasneje vključevali v svoje poučevanje, pri čemer jim visokošolski učitelji in sodelavci predstavljajo zgled, lahko ugotovitve naše raziskave visokošolskim učiteljem služijo kot osnova za refleksijo in samoevalvacijo pedagoškega dela.
Izkustveno učenje in izobraževanje o politiki v okviru državljanske vzgoje
Authors: Banjac Marinko
Published: January 2025

Državljanska vzgoja je pomemben del izobraževalnih sistemov, med drugim tudi zato, ker se v njenem okviru posredujejo znanja o politiki in političnem. Sploh mlade je potrebno opolnomočiti, da bodo imeli znanje o politiki ter bili sposobni in željni imeti družbenopolitični vpliv. Članek naslavlja izkustveno učenje kot celovit pristop k državljanski vzgoji ter poučevanju političnih vsebin. Pri tem je izhodiščna teza, izhajajoča iz teoretizacij Deweyja, Kolba in Freireja, da izkustveno učenje izhaja iz učenca, njegovih obstoječih znanj in kontekstov, prek česar učenec dojema, razumeva, reflektira vsebine prek izkustvenega spoznavanja in konkretnih akcij. Refleksija kurikulov osnovnošolskega predmeta domovinska in državljanska kultura in etika ter srednješolske obvezne izbirne vsebine aktivno državljanstvo pokaže, da so elementi pedagoško-didaktične usmeritve izkustvenega učenja vsaj deloma prisotni, vendar so ti šibko pojasnjeni in operacionalizirani. Zato je ponujena tudi poglobljena konceptualizacija dimenzij pristopa izkustvenega učenja v okviru državljanske vzgoje in posredovanja političnih vsebin v smislu družbenopolitičnega opolnomočenja izobražujočih se mladih.
Collaborative M-Learning of Collocations Using the ColloQuiz Application
Authors: Paradiž Martina
Published: January 2025

Students’ widespread use of smartphones has opened up new avenues for digital collaboration in the language classroom and has accelerated research in the field of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) or m-learning. Since mastery of collocations is a crucial aspect of language proficiency and translation quality in academic discourse, a large part of the focus of LSP teaching is on helping students to master the use of these lexical units and become aware of the differences between languages. The paper presents a mobile application developed by the author for students to compile a bilingual database of academic collocations and then use it for reference and revision. Based on an online questionnaire, the study reports on students’ perceptions regarding the usability of the application and its perceived efficacy for language learning. The study also aimed to test for differences in student feedback between those who used the ColloQuiz application for reference only and those who were involved in the creation of the collocations database. The results show a clear need for students’ active involvement in the creation of learning materials and encourage ESP (English for specific purposes) teachers to create similar applications tailored to their students’ needs.
COVID-19 Crisis and the Transition of Universities to Education 4.0
Authors: Milić Sanja , Simeunović Vlado , Cenić Dragan
Published: January 2025

The aim of the paper is to explore the key opportunities and challenges for the transition of universities in digitally underdeveloped countries to Education 4.0, and document the problems and solutions faced by all participants in higher education institutions during the pandemic; all with the aim of creating an effective online learning community, and adapting elements of the teaching process to studying in accordance with Industry 4.0. Given that every crisis represents a difficult transient situation in the natural, social and thought process, and an obstacle or significant change that interferes with normal work and causes another phenomenon as its consequence, we believe that the moment is right for the COVID-19 crisis to be used as an opportunity and, after months of struggle to preserve the basic educational postulates, for a solid foundation to be built for a new era of education. “Will Education 4.0 require a fundamental transformation of the learning environment? How will institutions redesign the curricula for the professional development of future teachers? What lessons have we learnt in education during the COVID-19 crisis?”, are some of the questions the paper strives to answer.
Flow and Digital Storytelling in Classes of French as a FL
Authors: Lujić Pikutić Rea , Zovko Ivana , Poljak Vesna
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the teaching method of digital storytelling and its effect on the potential occurrence of flow in pupils in classes of French as a foreign language. The underlying hypotheses are that pupils will experience flow through digital storytelling and that there will be differences in the experience of flow with regard to an individual’s personal characteristics. The research was conducted in French classes held at two Croatian grammar schools during the 2022/2023 school year, wherein 51 pupils took part. The data was collected via (1) a questionnaire distributed prior to the implementation of the teaching method (educational experience and personal interests), (2) a questionnaire distributed during the implementation of the activity (standardized questionnaire regarding the research of flow in FL learning; see Egbert, 2003; Almetev, 2018) and (3) the teacher’s observation method. The results show that pupils did feel flow during the performance of the activity. Less-skilled pupils felt as much flow as the skilled ones, with a stronger sense of flow evident in pupils who prefer working in a group. None of the research hypotheses related to the relationship between an individual’s personal and education-related characteristics and the experience of flow proved to be statistically significant.
Promoting Children’s Participation in Early Childhood Education and Care
Authors: Rutar Sonja
Published: January 2025

Children’s participation is a fundamental principle of contemporary education. To ensure children’s participation, a Model for Promoting Children’s Participation in Early Childhood Education and Care has been developed that enables educators to self-reflect on their practice, analyse children’s participation, listen to children’s and parents’ voices, and link children’s participation to the quality of early childhood education and care. The aim of the paper is to present findings regarding the importance of the model for promoting children’s participation in early childhood education and care and the current state of children’s participation. The qualitative study is based on the multi-perspective participatory approach to promoting children’s participation in action. The findings suggest that the model has great potential for researching and promoting children’s participation in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings, especially children’s expression and teachers’ professional reflection.
Preizkusi znanja in nacionalna preverjanja znanja iz slovenščine
Authors: Pirš Ada
Published: January 2025

Branje je pogoj za doseganje različnih ravni bralne pismenosti. Razvoj branja zajema stopnjo učenja branja in stopnjo učenja s pomočjo branja. Prehajanje iz ene stopnje na drugo pri povprečnem posamezniku nastopi v drugem triletju osnovne šole. To prehajanje in raven bralne pismenosti učencev preverjajo učitelji s preizkusi znanja pri slovenščini, na ravni države pa preverjanje poteka z nacionalnimi preverjanji znanja iz slovenščine. Ker šestošolci pri nacionalnih preverjanjih znanja v povprečju dosežejo le okoli 50 % možnih točk, se postavlja vprašanje, koliko so naloge preizkusov znanja iz slovenščine podobne nalogam nacionalnih preverjanj znanja iz slovenščine v 6. razredu in kakšne so z vidika razvijanja bralne pismenosti učencev povezave med določeno zvrstjo nalog in njihovo kognitivno ravnjo. Raziskava je pokazala, da je bilo v preizkusih znanja in nacionalnih preverjanjih znanja največ nalog na ravni razumevanja in nalog s področja jezika, najmanj pa nalog odprtega tipa. Pri ugotavljanju povezav med zvrstjo nalog in njihovo kognitivno ravnjo smo ugotovili, da so bile naloge najvišje kognitivne ravni, to so naloge, ki spodbujajo razvoj bralne pismenosti, večinoma odprtega tipa in so zahtevale branje besedila.

Published: January 2025

The use of the I'DIS Application in the implementation of the Imposition of Disciplinary Punishments for Civil Servants is indicated to be inconsistent between regulations and their implementation. Many Government Agencies in the working area of ​​the Regional Office XI BKN Manado still do not use the I'DIS Application and do not understand the input process or have not reached the stage of the process of making a Disciplinary Punishment Decree. This study aims to describe and analyze the Implementation of the I'DIS (Integrated Discipline) Application in the Imposition of Disciplinary Punishments for Civil Servants in Government Agencies in the Province of North Sulawesi. By using a qualitative design, it was found that the Implementation of the I'DIS Application in the imposition of disciplinary punishments for Civil Servants in Government Agencies in the Province of North Sulawesi still lacks a deeper understanding of the application, especially when technical guidance is carried out online. Likewise, resources including human resources, facilities and infrastructure are inadequate.
Relationship Between Household Water Sanitation and Hygiene Behaviors and Diarrhea Between 2010-2020 in Rwanda
Authors: Ntakarutimana Amans , Tschida Patrick A
Published: January 2025

Rwanda has made considerable progressive policy efforts to significantly reduce diarrhea among children under 5 years old, especially since 2010. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the relationship between household water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) behaviors and diarrhea among children under 5 years old between 2010 and 2020. We used secondary data from the 2010, 2015, and 2020 Rwanda Demographic Health Surveys. We used descriptive statistics, pairwise comparisons, and linear regression designs to assess (a) the prevalence of household WASH behaviors across districts, regions, urban areas, and rural areas, (b) the variation of household WASH behaviors over time, and (c) the relationship between household WASH behaviors and diarrhea in children under 5. The study findings show (a) no statistically significant variation in handwashing, (b) a statistically significant decrease in water treatment (µ = 13.230, 95%CI [8.609; 17.851], p < .001) and in safe water storage (µ = 4.430, 95%CI [2.400; 6.460], p < .001), and (c) a statistically significant increase in the use of clean toilets (µ = 12.197, 95%CI [8.158; 16.235], p < .001) between 2010 and 2020. The study results did not show a statistically significant relationship between WASH behaviors (handwashing, water treatment, safe water storage, and use of clean toilets) and diarrhea among children under 5 years old.

Authors: Vo Tien D , Redelfs Alisha H , Graper Mackay , Spruance Lori A.
Published: January 2025

Children living with obesity are at higher risk for chronic disease. Dietary behaviors, sedentary time, and physical activity contribute to the risk of developing obesity. The purpose of this research was to identify associations between acculturation and race/ethnicity influences on obesogenic behaviors in middle school students. A national convenience sample of diverse U.S. children (11–14) was recruited to participate in an online survey (N = 615). Dietary behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption (F/V) and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (SSB), as well as screen time and physical activity, were quantified. Multivariable regression models (linear and logistic) were built. We analyzed relationships between race/ethnicity, acculturation, time lived outside of the United States, and obesogenic behaviors. American Culture Competency (ACC; p < 0.0001), English Language Competency (ELC; p = 0.0001), time lived in the United States (p < 0.0001), generation American (p < 0.0001), race/ethnicity (p < 0.0001), and peer physical (p= 0.0024) activity together predicted daily screen time. ELC (p = 0.0024), peer meals (p p p = 0.0183), ELC (p = 0 .0438), race/ethnicity (p = 0.0152), and time lived in the United States (p = 0.0063) predicted meeting physical activity recommendations. ACC (p = 0.0002), ELC (p < 0.0001), race/ethnicity (p = 0.0052), time lived in the United States (p = 0.0061), peer meals (pp = 0.0053) predicted F/V consumption. Results demonstrate that acculturation and race/ethnicity affect obesogenic behaviors. These results indicate that there are opportunities to consider acculturation and race/ethnicity in behavior modification among adolescents.
Pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine groups. Social distance and self-assessment of scientific skills
Authors: Gaymard Sandrine
Published: January 2025

The social distance scale developed by Bogardus decades ago, which allows us to measure levels of acceptance among members of diverse social, ethnic, or racial groups, has been widely used in different contexts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the social distance accepted by pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine groups. Following the principle of the Bogardus scale, a questionnaire was created regarding different degrees of closeness. Respondents also completed a scientific skills self-assessment. The population consisted of 193 people who declared themselves in favor of vaccination and 41 people who declared themselves against it. Statistical tests show significant differences regarding the acceptance of the out-group; the anti-vaccine group expressed less prejudice toward the pro-vaccine group than the pro group did toward the anti group. No difference is noted in the self-assessment of scientific skills. The results are discussed with regard to elements of the literature.

Some adults in mid and late life may have been particularly sensitive to the negative effects of social disruptions due to COVID-19 restrictions. The current study explored whether sociability moderated links between disrupted contact with friends and family and multiple indicators of mental health. We collected quantitative data via an online survey from a community sample of 136 adults in mid to late life (M age = 67.77, range 50–91; 69.3% females; 92.7% White). We conducted a series of hierarchical linear regressions to test for moderation. Controlling for age, gender, and marital status, sociability moderated the associations between disruptions in social interactions and depressive symptoms, but not anxiety or life satisfaction. Namely, disruptions to social interactions were positively associated with depressive symptoms only for sociable individuals. Given the potential for future social disruptions, our findings point to the importance of considering the role of sociability in developing interventions that target adults.
Exploring Body Composition and Sexual Behavior in South Texas College Students

In this exploratory study, we examined the understudied relationship between body composition and sexual behavior among freshmen college students, addressing a gap in empirical research. Our sample consisted of 217 nonclinical college students recruited from a university in the southwestern United States; a majority of the students were Hispanic (70%) and freshmen (95%). Using multivariate logistic regression, we explored associations of body mass index, body fat percentage, and fat mass index with sexual behaviors. More than half of the participants were either overweight (22.5%) or obese (30.4%), and nearly 70% fell outside the healthy range of body fat. Results showed that greater body mass index, body fat percentage, and fat mass index were associated with a decreased likelihood of recent sexual activity, defined as any mutually consensual activity with another person involving sexual contact, regardless of whether intercourse or orgasm occurs. However, the results were not significantly associated with recent sexual intercourse. Among sexually active participants, greater body mass index, body fat percentage, and fat mass index were linked to lower protection use (i.e., condom use) at the last occurrence of sexual intercourse. While increased body weight and body fat may act as deterrents to sexual activity, they conversely elevated the risk of engaging in unprotected sex among those who had sexual intercourse in the past 6 months. Thus, there is a pressing need for tailored health interventions targeting body composition in this demographic to promote healthy sexual behaviors and mitigate potential risks associated with unsafe sexual practices.

In this study, we investigate mathematical misconceptions, particularly prevalent among high school students, and offer solutions. The primary aims of our research include identifying the most common mathematical misconceptions, uncovering their underlying causes, and evaluating research-based solutions that have successfully addressed these issues. For this study, data were collected using a mixed-methods approach in Stirling Schools operating throughout Iraq. Data were gathered via a diagnostic test, as well as teacher interviews and classroom observations. The test revealed conceptual, procedural, and application problems, while interviews and observations gave qualitative information about the sources of misunderstandings and teaching tactics. The data analysis blended quantitative mistake classification with qualitative theme analysis to provide a complete picture of misunderstandings and effective training approaches. In light of the data obtained, we can state that misconceptions typically stem from a lack of conceptual understanding, over-reliance on procedural methods, and contextual misunderstandings. Additionally, it has been shown that conceptual education, visual aids, and peer-supported learning help eliminate mathematical misconceptions. These valuable findings hold significant implications for educators seeking to improve students' mathematical knowledge by emphasizing the importance of concept-based learning and providing opportunities for re-education. Through this study, we offer key insights into how widespread mathematical misconceptions can be effectively addressed, contributing meaningfully to mathematics education.

Eleutherine bulbosa é uma espécie medicinal utilizada no Amazonas, Brasil, mas carece de informações sobre seu cultivo, dificultando sua produção em sistemas agrícolas. Este estudo avaliou a produção de bulbos da cultura com diferentes doses de esterco de galinha, com e sem aplicação de Bokashi, um fertilizante orgânico produzido a partir de microrganismos eficientes capturados em armadilhas com arroz, instaladas na mata do campus da Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM). O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, utilizando vasos de cinco litros com terriço da mata misturado a diferentes doses de esterco de galinha, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Após 180 dias foram analisados parâmetros agronômicos das plantas, como número de folhas, número de bulbos e peso da massa fresca, além do rendimento de amido nos bulbos. O Bokashi aumentou significativamente a massa fresca e o número de bulbos. A adição de matéria orgânica, independentemente da dose, influenciou positivamente a massa fresca, o número de bulbos e de folhas. A interação entre os fatores reduziu a produção de matéria seca na parte aérea e o rendimento de amido. Doses intermediárias de matéria orgânica apresentaram efeitos mais consistentes, reforçando a importância de um manejo equilibrado. A conclusão destaca a viabilidade dos fertilizantes orgânicos como uma estratégia eficaz para o cultivo sustentável de E. bulbosa, promovendo práticas agrícolas de baixo impacto ambiental e contribuindo para uma produção significativa e de qualidade.

A proteção de componentes e estruturas por meio da técnica de revestimento é uma solução viável economicamente, mas depende que o processo e seus parâmetros sejam ajustados e personalizado para determinado emprego.  O uso de processos não convencionais de soldagem, como o MIG/MAG – PV, pode alcançar um cordão de solda com excelente morfologia aliado a baixa diluição, elegendo o processo a aplicações de revestimento, muito também pela flexibilidade, baixo aporte térmico, alta taxa de deposição. O objetivo do trabalho foi empregar o processo MIG/MAG – PV com metal de adição AWS A5.9 ER316LSi sobre superfície livre (bead-on-plate) em substrato aço ao carbono ASTM A36 em posição (1G), de dimensões 70 x 70 x 6,35 mm. Para a avaliação, foi utilizado Box–Behnken Design (BBD) com variáveis independentes (Frequência de Tecimento (Ft), Amplitude de Tecimento (At) e Velocidade de Soldagem (Vs)), investigando as variáveis de resposta por meio da Metodologia de Superfície de Resposta (MSR), sendo otimizado via função desirability com alvo de máxima altura (h) e mínima diluição (D), ambos validados com três réplicas. Os resultados mostraram um processo viável, com excelente qualidade superficial, sem descontinuidade e baixos valores de salpico, atingindo largura máxima de 26,98 mm, principalmente devido à amplitude de tecimento. Além disso, foi possível obter elevados coeficientes de determinação, com erros absolutos da otimização de 0,63% para alvo de máxima altura e 27,61% para alvo de mínima diluição. Com isso, é possível concluir que o processo é viável para aplicação em revestimento, apesar do maior erro absoluto na otimização da diluição, muito pela não ortogonalidade desse parâmetro de resposta, porém, resultando em característica morfológicas satisfatórias, além de qualidade superficial e baixa diluição.
