Published: October 2021

Argumentation in writing research articles is very crucial for showing the position of authors in a certain science field, but the social and humanity authors are still lower in skill for argumentation. This research investigated the using and impact of the Genre Based Approach (GBA) in training and mentoring of Research Article writing in improving the skill of argumentation in writing RA. The aim of this study is to describe the activity of learning and teaching by using GBA in training and mentoring of writing RA for social and humanity authors and the impact of this training and mentoring on the skill of argumentation in RAs writing. The material and steps of learning and teaching activity are adapted and modified from Widodo (2006) who stated that the rule of GBA is to prepare, focus, task, evaluate and elaborate. Moreover, Ferris & Hedgcock (2005) also explained that GBA is started from joint construction and independent construction stages when students start to write. The instruments of this research were direct observation and RAs draft analysis. Direct observing is also conducted to record every side of GBA design for teaching writing articles. To find the effect of GBA in training and mentoring to improve argumentative skills, the content analysis to the draft of RAs is conducted. The Result shows that the first the activity of training and mentoring writing RAs by using GBA to improve argumentation skills can be described from prepare, focus, task, evaluate and elaborate. The second finding shows that the participants have competence in writing argumentative for each section of RAS. Thus, it can be concluded that GBA in training and mentoring to write RAs is effective to improve argumentative skills in writing class especially writing RAs class.

INTELLIGENCE AS AN OBJECT OF RESEARCH
Authors:   G.S. Kostiuk Institute of Psychology of NAES of Ukraine, Kovalenko-Kobylanska I.G.
Published: October 2021

The article deals with an overview of research on intelligence from the pre-scientific to post-neoclassical periods of the development of science. The continuity of knowledge is shown, the purpose of which is to determine the boundaries of human cognition of objective reality to create an optimal model of society, in which the maximum realization of intellectual potential is possible. A retrospective analysis shows that researchers have defined the basis of intelligence in different ways, designating the biological or environmental components as the dominant. The use of logical-deductive or experimental-inductive methods as a methodological basis had a decisive influence on the researcher while choosing methodological tools to solve the problem posed. The article notes that despite the task of studying intellectual development throughout ontogenesis, the period of gerontogenesis has been less studied. Empirical studies of intellectual development during this period prove that intellectual decline is largely the result of insufficient intellectual activity, the monotony of activity and a person's unwillingness to acquire new competencies in later life due to a number of objective and subjective reasons. It is noted that the decisive importance in ascending intellectual development has the level and quality of a person's subjectivity. This is expressed in the need for purposeful random activity, in which a person can abstract from social stereotypes about an unconditional decrease in intellectual development during the period of gerontogenesis.

It is proved in the article that personality had to be able to think, constructing logical reasoning with the help of concepts, judgments and inferences, and the ability to interact constructively with others, working in a team, to succeed in the society. The content and structure of social success of a child of primary school age are presented. This concept is proposed as an integrated quality, which consists of three components: motivational, instrumental and emotional and behavioral. The motivational component is characterized by the presence of the need for knowledge, the desire to succeed. The instrumental component covers three components: cognitive (systematized program knowledge; developed conceptual, divergent, critical thinking); operational (intellectual, intellectual and cognitive, research, intellectual and creative skills); evaluative and effective (reflection and adequate self-esteem). The emotional and behavioral component of social success of junior high school students is represented by the following components: value (presence of value orientations), emotiona and volitional (developed emotional intelligence, respect, sensitivity to others, self-control, volitional qualities), communicative (developed social intelligence). Psychological and pedagogical conditions are characterized as a mechanism of formation of social success of a child of primary school age in the process of studying in the Institutions of general secondary education (IGSE), namely: dominance of problem searching dialogue between teachers and students and between students in the educational process of primary classes; implementation of the course “Logic” in the educational process of primary school in 2–4th classes and tasks related to the content of the course “Logic” on lessons in Humanities and Natural Sciences and Mathematics cycles; creating tasks for joint learning activities, providing “I am – the inclusion” of each pupil in joint work. The mission of the course “Logic” in the content of primary education is described; the techniques of organization and implementation of problem searching dialogue between the subjects of the educational process, the organization of educational activities in a team are revealed.

Published: October 2021

The article deals with the analysis of the personality in the modern informational world problem. The author based the theoretical analysis of this problem on the specifics of the current stage in psychological studies of mass communication. The author assumes that social constructivism, as a postmodernist approach and the theoretical basis of modern studies in mass communication, considers the way mass communication participants construct their idea of the world and its peculiarities. The concept of the “mosaic-resonance effect” is interpreted as the main feature of the nowadays mass media’s messages. The author analyzes the discourse as an instrument used to examine the construction of one's idea of the world during mass communication. The main characteristics of the two models of mass communication: the discourse model by J.Fiske and the constructivist model by W.Gamson, are reviewed in detail. The empirical study outcomes have shown the perspectives of further studies of the mass media's psychological influence on the peculiarities of the person’s way to construct the image of the world and one’s means of interpreting communicative signals to be prospective. Our empirical study demonstrated that subjects referred to as TV-dependent (those who tend to spend a lot of time watching the TV content) are characterized by non-stable emotions, less considerate in linking and analyzing the details of the given information, its’ non-critical perception. TV-dependent respondents mostly perceive the TV data non-adequately, paying attention to emotionally meaningful pieces of information, and tending to reconstruct their image of the event, so that it might be an illustration or general background of the TV content piece, or the information of the lower levels of semantic structure in terms of A.A.Bodalyov.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION IN YOUTHFUL AGE
Authors:   Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, Chumak Viktor
Published: October 2021

On the basis of theoretical analysis in the paper, the content and structure of the concept of "professional self-determination" are clarified. The psychological features of professional self-determination in adolescence are determined. It has been found that professional self-determination is the process of active orientation of the entity in the world of professions associated with the search for the meaning of labor activity, internal and external conflicts, professional and life crises; This is the election process that is periodically repeated throughout the professional career of a person. The structural scheme of this concept includes the following components: individual-typological features of the individual, the idea of themselves and the world of professions, social factors. In the youth age, the period of education in higher education institutions is characterized by the development of the system of basic value representations that characterize this professional community, gaining professional knowledge, skills, skills. There is a development of professional-important personal qualities, a professional self-consciousness, professional suitability begins to form. At the stage of purposeful preparation for the chosen professional activity, the dynamics of professional self-determination is largely begins to be determined by the didactic training system and the nature of the relationship of education claims with each other, with teachers. Adoption of a professional role is achieved only in the fourth year of study when we can talk about the formation of professional self-consciousness. It has been found that the level of professional self-determination in the formation of education of the fourth year is higher than that of the first. This is due to a purposeful preparation for professional activity.
Estimating Activity Coefficients of Target Components in Poorly Specified Mixtures with NMR Spectroscopy and COSMO-RS
Authors: Specht Thomas , Münnemann Kerstin , Jirasek Fabian , Hasse Hans
Published: October 2021

Poorly specified mixtures are common in process engineering, especially in bioprocess engineering. The properties of such mixtures of unknown composition cannot be described using conventional thermodynamic models. The NEAT method, which has recently been developed in our group, enables the calculation of activity coefficients of known target components in such poorly specified mixtures. In NEAT, the group composition of the mixture is determined by NMR spectroscopy and a thermodynamic group contribution method is used for calculating the activity coefficients. In all previous studies with NEAT, the UNIFAC group contribution method was used. In the present work, we demonstrate that NEAT can also be applied with another important method for predicting activity coefficients: COSMO-RS. COSMO-RS (OL) developed in Oldenburg together with its group contribution version GC-COSMO-RS (OL) is used here. The new version of NEAT was successfully tested. For a variety of aqueous mixtures excellent agreement of the NEAT predictions, for which only information on the target component was used, with results that were obtained using the full knowledge on the composition of the mixture was found. The results demonstrate the generic nature of the idea of NEAT and the broad applicability of the method.

Authors: Khamvilai Thankorn , Syed Aqib Ahmed , Feron Eric
Published: October 2021

Reliability is an important aspect of operatingsafety-critical applications of networked systems, such as inavionics. In order to ensure sufficient reliability, one approachis to apply redundancy. However, redundancy may be costlyif the degree of redundancy is too high. This paper proposesan optimization-based framework for guaranteeing the desiredreliability of any graph-based networked system. It focuses onintegrated modular avionics architecture, based on the use ofminimally redundant components. This framework consists oftwo steps. The first is to compute the minimum number ofcomponents within the architecture, using a geometric program.The second is to determine the topology with the minimal numberof connections between these components, using a signomialprogram. Finally, the method is illustrated on a small examplenetwork and a larger network of the A350 avionics architecture.
Practical lessons for creating affordance-based interventions for sustainable behavior change
Authors: Kaaronen Roope Oskari , Rietveld Erik
Published: October 2021

Radical collective behavior change is required to develop sustainable forms of urban life. This demands redesign of everyday environments. However, the ways in which our material world shape our behaviors are still understudied and underappreciated. Not much is known about how collective behaviors are facilitated through infrastructural or material interventions. Here, we draw upon 15 years of experience at RAAAF, an Amsterdam-based collective for visual art and architecture, to introduce ten practical lessons for developing strategic design interventions for affordance-based behavior change in urban environments. Affordances are the possibilities for action provided by the environment. Strategic design interventions aim to set collective social change in motion by developing sustainable affordances and dismantling unsustainable behavioral constraints. Strategic design interventions seek to inspire policies and public imagination. Whereas scientific studies aim to describe reality as it is, RAAAF’s material interventions help imagine how the shared urban environment could be in the future.
Motivating the Journey: An Integrative Framework of Prevention Versus Promotion Goal Pursuit Activities
Authors: Nakkawita Emily , Higgins E. Tory
Published: October 2021

Does a focus on gains versus non-losses influence the kinds of activities people are motivated to use when pursuing their goals? This paper proposes that the prevention and promotion systems posited within regulatory focus theory motivate fundamentally different activities in the process of goal pursuit. We present a novel, integrative framework of regulatory focus-specific goal pursuit process activities and provide initial evidence testing this framework. First, across two studies involving activity sorting tasks, we predicted that participants would consistently categorize activities from the proposed framework as reflecting the hypothesized regulatory focus, and in making these categorization decisions, would sort regulatory focus-specific process activities from the proposed framework more quickly than more general goal pursuit process activities. Furthermore, in two follow-up studies probing activity accessibility, we hypothesized that motivationally relevant process activities (i.e., those reflecting individual differences in participants’ own regulatory focus) would be more accessible as measured by output primacy than process activities that were not motivationally relevant. Across these four studies, using both correlational and experimental methods, we found converging evidence in support of these predictions and our proposed framework. We suggest that this framework provides new insight into the motivational antecedents of distinct goal pursuit activities. Furthermore, it may be useful in generating new hypotheses about how best to motivate effective goal pursuit processes.

Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted unprecedented disruptions to the daily lives of children and adolescents worldwide, which has been associated with an increase of anxiety and depressive symptoms in youth. However, due to public health measures, in-person psychosocial care has been affected causing barriers to mental health care access. This study investigated the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of iCOPE with COVID-19, a brief telemental health intervention for children and adolescents to address anxiety symptoms. Sessions were provided exclusively using videoconferencing technology. Feasibility and acceptability were measured with client satisfaction data. The main outcome measure for effectiveness was anxiety symptom severity measured using the Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Disorders (SCARED). Results indicated that the treatment was well accepted by participants. Significant reductions in anxiety were noted for social anxiety, and were observed to be trending towards a mean decrease for total anxiety. The findings suggest that this brief telemental health intervention focused on reducing anxiety related to COVID-19 is acceptable and feasible to children and adolescents. Future research using a large sample and with a longer follow-up period could inform whether symptom decreases are sustained over time.
Appealing to the minds of gods: Religious beliefs and appeals correspond to features of local social ecologies

How do beliefs about gods vary across populations, and what accounts for this variation? We argue that appeals to gods generally reflect prominent features of local social ecologies. We first draw from a synthesis of theoretical, experimental, and ethnographic evidence to delineate a set of predictive criteria for the kinds of contexts with which religious beliefs and behaviors will be associated. To evaluate these criteria, we examine the content of freely-listed data about gods’ concerns collected from individuals across eight diverse field sites and contextualize these beliefs in their respective cultural milieus. In our analysis, we find that local deities’ concerns point to costly threats to local coordination and cooperation. We conclude with a discussion of how alternative approaches to religious beliefs and appeals fare in light of our results and close by considering some key implications for the cognitive and evolutionary sciences of religion.

Nepalese cattle are known for their genetic potentiality concerning inhabitant in extreme climatic conditions, surviving in the scarce food supply, and resistant to several diseases. We aimed to assess Nepal’s ancestral origin and genetic diversity of indigenous cattle breeds based on hyper-variable D loop mtDNA sequences. Three cattle breeds (Siri, Achammi, & Lulu) comprising the total sample population (n= 75) were employed in the study where the mt DNA information of two breeds (Achammi & Lulu) were retrieved from the published source. Hyper-variable D loop (910bp) of Siri cattle was PCR amplified and sequenced. This study claims that the possible ancestral origin of Bos taurus and Bos indicus mtDNA lineage in the Nepalese cattle population is majorly influenced by China and India, respectively. This study suggests that Nepalese cattle can be divided into two major groups: Bos taurus and Bos indicus, where most of the cattle population was of Bos indicus origin. The sampled population can be classified into three significant haplogroups: T3 (25%), I1 (48%), and I2 (27%) revealing a higher genetic diversity among the Nepalese cattle population. Only T3 taurine haplogroup was found in the sampled population. It was consistent with the fact that the absence of T1 haplogroup in North-East Asian cattle. In terms of Bos indicus, the I1 haplogroup was dominant over I2. Higher genetic diversity can be appropriate reasoning for Nepalese cattle’s survival in a harsh environment and low food conditions.

Authors: Upreti Sujaya , Ghimire Ram P. , Tiwari Megh Raj , Banskota Niraj
Published: October 2021

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of hydroponics maize fodder on growth and nutrient digestibility of weaned piglets from July 1st, 2017 to August 11th, 2017, for six weeks. The experiment consisted of 75 days old, 15 crossbreed piglets (Duroc x Nagpuri & Duroc) in a Completely Randomized Design with three treatments and five replications. Treatment 1 (T1) contained 100% concentrate feed, Treatment 2 (T2) 90% concentrate feed and 10% hydroponics maize fodder and Treatment 3 (T3) 80% concentrate feed and 20% hydroponics maize fodder in the diet. The study revealed that hydroponics maize fodder contained DM 13.80%, CP 12.54%, NDF 47.04%, and ADL 16.51%. The treatments had non-significant effect (P > 0.05) on daily weight gain, final weight and feed conversion ratio of the piglets. However, piglets fed with 90% concentrate and 10% hydroponics maize fodder had the highest final weight (35.8±5.0 kg), while the lowest (33.6±5.00 kg) was recorded in piglets fed with 80% concentrate and 20% hydroponics maize fodder. The cost of hydroponics maize fodder production was Rs. 20.62 per kg, which was higher than the cost in the Indian context. The difference in Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) was also not significant. However, piglets fed with T2 (1:2.58) diet recorded higher FCR than T3 (1:2.56) and T1 (1:2.51). In conclusion, the inclusion of hydroponics maize fodder in piglets diet appeared promising in growth, nutrient digestibility and cost of production.
An Analysis of Latent Profiles of Father-Child Interaction: Classification Predictors and Differences in Children’s Socio-Emotional Development
Authors: Park Saerom , No Boram
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study was to (1) classify subgroups of father-child interaction based on the type of interaction activity (routine, learning, and play interaction), (2) examine the effects of socio-demographic factors, father’s psycho-emotional factors, and maternal factors on the different types of father-child interaction groups, and (3) analyze differences in socio-emotional development of first graders in elementary school according to the type of father-child interaction. Analysis of 1,469 families (mothers, fathers, and children) was conducted using latent profile analysis (research question 1), complex sample multinomial logistic regression (RQ 2), and complex sample general linear modeling (RQ 3). Samples originated from the eighth wave (2015) of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC). The main results were as follows. First, three distinct latent groups of father-child interaction based on the quantitative level of daily interaction were found: high-interaction (HI, 7.85%), medium-interaction (MI, 51.73%), and low-interaction (LI, 40.42%). Second, factors such as father’s happiness, positive evaluation of work-family balance, and mother-child interaction level were significant correlates for the classification of father-child interaction. Third, first graders in the HI group showed the highest levels of self-esteem in comparison to the other two groups and reported a higher level of subjective happiness in comparison to the LI group. These results bring to attention the importance of father-child interaction affecting the outcomes of children’s socio-emotional development.
Assets and Life Satisfaction of Older Korean Parents: Mediating Effects of Multiple Children’s Adult Status Attainment
Authors: You Soo-Bin , Choi Heejeong
Published: October 2021

This study examined if the association between older parents’ assets and life satisfaction is mediated by multiple children’s adult status attainment, given increasingly complicated processes of transition to adulthood and diminishing returns for parents’ extended investment in adult children. Disparate bodies of literature have indicated that assets help promoting older adults’ individual health and well-being; and parental assets also facilitate children’s reaching of adulthood. However, little attention has been paid to the ways in which the association between assets and life satisfaction might be explained by multiple children’s adult role statuses. Using the 5th wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2014), this study analyzed a sample of parents aged 60 years and older with at least one living child aged between 30 and 50. For analyses, mediation models were estimated using SPSS PROCESS. Results showed that the association between non-financial assets and life satisfaction was partially mediated by one or more grown children’s college graduation and home ownership. Children’s employment, marriage, and parenthood did not play a major role in explicating the link between assets and life satisfaction in the contemporary socioeconomic context of Korea. Regarding policy and practice implications, comprehensive asset-building programs should be offered for parents to financially prepare for old age; parents should be informed that their overall life quality may hinge less on the lives of their children than might be typically expected, thus necessitating a more tailored approach to financially supporting their children during their transition to adulthood.
Epidemics between Qadr and Ḥadhar: Insights from al-Nawawī (Epidemik Di antara Qadar dan Hadhar: Sorotan dari Al- Nawawi)
Authors: Muhsin Sayyed Mohamed , Muhammad Murshid
Published: October 2021

Being a great jurist and influential scholar with seminal works on hadith, theology, biography and jurisprudence, al-Nawawī’s (d. 1277) views on epidemics are of great significance in these days of the pandemic. This article explores his views and explanations vis-à-vis epidemic to find his perspectives on balance between qadr (predestination) and ḥadhar (precaution) by conducting a content analysis of his various texts. In this article, the authors mainly referred to his texts Sharaḥ Muslim, Riyaḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn, al-Majmūʿ Sharaḥ Muhadhdhab, Rawḍat al-Ṭālibīn and al- Adhkār al-Muntakhab. This study substantiates that in the view of al-Nawawī, Islam postulates a balanced position between taking precaution and faith in Allah’s decrees in dealing with the situations of an epidemic. Thus, it holistically complements the concepts of qadr and hadhar to guide people towards leading a faithful and safe life in the trying times of epidemic.

Study Objective: To identify the prevalence and risk factors (RFs) of falls in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Study Design: A three-year prospective study. Materials and Methods. The study included 122 patients with RA (mean age: 60 [55; 67] years old). We undertook a clinical and laboratory examination and assessed RA, physical activity, and muscle strength in hands. In order to predict falls, we used a multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Study Results. During the prospective observation, 60% of RA patients had falls, and 25% of them had 2 and more falls. The single-factor regressive analysis showed that the prevalence of falls in patients with RA was impacted by the age (p = 0.0041), smoking (p = 0.032), history of falls (p = 0.032), and presence of aseptic joint necrosis (p = 0.046). The RFs were used to construct a prediction model for RA patients with the sensitivity of 74.2% and specificity 83.7%. Conclusion. High prevalence of falls and associated low-energy fractures in RA patients necessitate creation of a strategic prevention program. Our prediction model possesses good prognostic value and can be used to identify a high risk of falls in patients with RA. Keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, falls, risk factors, prevalence of falls.
Assessing the Diagnostic Value of Dual-source CT angiography for Congenital Thoracic Vascular Anomalies
Authors: mohammadzadeh Maryam
Published: October 2021

Background and objectives: Congenital thoracic vascular anomalies are associated with great risk of mortality and morbidity. Their growing incidence is assumed to originate mainly from the increased accuracy of the diagnostic methods used. Although classic angiography is considered the gold standard diagnostic method, various diagnostic methods have been proposed. Dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography is the most recently introduced CT technology with confirmed diagnostic accuracy in adult population. The present study is aimed to determine the diagnostic value of DSCT in children with congenital thoracic vascular anomalies compared with the gold standard CTA. Materials and methods: The present cross-sectional study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of DSCT in 100 pediatric patients who referred to Shahid Rajaie Heart Center with congenital anomaly of major thoracic vessels and underwent DSCT and angiography from March 2011 to September 2014. DSCT images were reviewed by one radiologist to confirm the accuracy of reports. Next, parameters of diagnostic value of these methods were compared using IBM SPSS version 22. Results: A total of 142 cardiovascular anomalies were diagnosed by angiography. The diagnostic accuracy of DSCT was 97.1%, considering 2 cases of left superior vena cava and 2 patent ductus arteriosus missed by DSCT among the 142 anomalies diagnosed by angiography. DSCT also provided important additional findings (n = 26) which were not reported by angiography. Conclusion: DSCT is a highly accurate diagnostic method for detecting congenital vascular anomalies, obviating the need for invasive modalities.

Gallstone ileus is a mechanical intestinal obstruction due to gallstone impaction within the gastrointestinal tract, and responsible for less than 1% of cases of intestinal obstruction. This is a case of a 50-year-old male who was referred for computed tomography of the abdomen on account of abdominal pain, abdominal swelling and discomfort, restlessness, vomiting, constipation, easy fatigability, excess sweating and restlessness. The scout image of the computed tomography (CT) demonstrated linear streaks and foci of radiolucency beneath and around the 10th and 11th anterior ribs on the right most likely pneumobilia. Air distended bowel loops were also demonstrated. Serial axial slides demonstrated an impacted calculus measuring about 30mm in widest transverse diameter in the right iliac region most probably the ileocecal valve region extending in to the cecum with associated dilated bowel loops showing multiple air-fluid levels raising a suspicion of mechanical bowel obstruction. The gall bladder measures about 50mm x 30mm in cranio-caudal and mediolateral diameter, with turbid contents and thickened walls of about 4mm most likely from cholecystitis. A diagnosis of mechanical bowel obstruction following an impacted calculus at the ileocecal valve was entertained; Gallstone ileus in a 50-year-old man. The patient had surgical treatment, this comprised of exploratory laparotomy with entero-lithotomy, fistula repair and cholecystectomy. The patient did well post-operatively and was discharged home subsequently and advised on follow-up visits. We present a case of mechanical bowel obstruction following an impacted gall stone at the ileocecal valve in a 50-year-old male patient.
Biologics in the Treatment of Severe Uncontrolled Asthma in Children
Authors: Syabbalo Nightingale
Published: October 2021

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, currently affecting about 7 million children. Severe uncontrolled asthma is rare in children with a prevalence of about 2.1% to 5%, but inflicts a disproportionate health burden. Children with severe asthma have increased risk of life threatening exacerbations, frequent hospitalization, worsening health-related quality of life, and impaired physical activity. Severe asthma in childhood is associated with long-term morbidities, such as bronchiolitis obliterans, impaired airway development, and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adulthood. Childhood asthma like adult-onset asthma, is classified into four cellular inflammatory phenotypes using induced sputum cytometry. The four phenotypes of asthma include eosinophilic asthma, neutrophilic asthma, paucigranulocytic asthma, and mixed cellularity asthma. The pathophysiological mechanisms of asthma involve airway inflammation and remodeling. Inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and growth factors play a key role in orchestration airway remodeling. During airway inflammation, cytokines secreted by type 2 helper (Th2) lymphocytes, such as interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-4, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) play a key role in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma. Whereas, the Th17 axis cytokines, including IL-17, IL-23, and IL-8 are responsible for the pathophysiology of neutrophilic asthma. The airway structural changes due to airway remodeling lead to thickening of the airway wall, narrowing of the bronchiolar lumen, airway obstruction, and decline in pulmonary function. Most of the children with asthma respond to low and medium inhaled corticosteroids, however a significant proportion still have severe asthma uncontrolled on the standard of care. The most common asthma phenotype in children is eosinophilic asthma, which responds superbly to biologic therapy. Children with severe asthma require add-on targeted interleukin antagonists (ILA), such as mepolizumab (anti-IL-5), benralizumab (anti-IL-5Rα), and dupilumab (anti-4Rα). ILAs have been shown to ameliorate asthma symptoms, reduce moderate and severe exacerbations, and improve pulmonary function. Additionally, ILAs have been demonstrated to improve the health-related quality of life, and have steroid sparing effect.
Web Documentary Participation as a Basis for Intercultural and Social Engagement and Second Language Acquisition

Foreign language documentary films offer limitless possibilities for language teaching and are an ideal medium for the integration of the target culture and for the promotion of serious and committed discussions about human rights, diversity, global issues, and sustainability. Language learning is based on current cultural contexts so that students become more engaged with the world. In order to integrate this world into my class, I became a documentary filmmaker and filmed everyday life while I was living in Nantes, France. In my interactive documentary (i-doc), students can explore the different opportunities that Nantes has to offer, from street art to socially engaged activities and student demonstrations. The learner watches and listens to interviews in the i-doc at their own pace and engages with the francophone community.
Die Rolle industrieller Beziehungen im Globalen Süden für soziales Upgrading in Wertschöpfungsketten
Authors: Teipen Christina , Mehl Fabian
Published: October 2021

Anhand vergleichender Fallstudien in vier Branchen (Automobil, Bekleidung, Elektronikgüter, IT-Dienstleistungen) und sechs Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern (Indien, Bangladesch, China, Vietnam, Brasilien, Südafrika) zeigen wir den Einfluss industriespezifischer Governance-Formen sowie nationaler Systeme industrieller Beziehungen auf soziales Upgrading auf. Erfolgreiches soziales Upgrading hängt demzufolge entscheidend davon ab, ob nationale Gewerkschaften über ausreichende assoziative und institutionelle Macht verfügen, um sich in Transformationsauseinandersetzungen gegenüber dominanten nationalen Koalitionen behaupten zu können.
