Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Suh Chuyeon
Published: November 2022

Objectives This study attempted to analyze the trend of changes in social perception ahead of the full implementation of the high school credit system in 2025. Methods To this end, text data for the past three years from 2019 to 2021 were collected and big data analysis using text-mining was conducted. For data analysis, TF and TF-IDF analysis, N-gram analysis, CONCOR analysis, and emotional word frequency analysis were performed using the ‘TEXTOM’ program. Results As a result of TF and TF-IDF analysis, words that continued to rank in the top 10 for three years were “high school, high school credit system, curriculum, education office, introduction, and student,” while words with high TF-IDF values were “research, implementation, education office, high school, curriculum.” Looking at the results of the N-gram analysis, negative words such as ‘promotion-communication, communication-insufficient, and insufficient-point out’ were extracted in 2021, and negative views on the implementation of the high school credit system increased. In addition, as a result of CONCOR analysis, it was classified into four clusters by each year, and it was found that there is a high interest in the 2022 revised curriculum ahead of the implementation of the high school credit system. As a result of analyzing the frequency of emotional words, it was found that positive responses were high until 2020, but negative responses increased in 2021. Conclusions This can be seen as an effect of growing anxiety across society as the time for the full implementation of the high school credit system is getting closer and online classes due to COVID-19 are also progressing. It is considered that such a change in social perception must be reflected in the establishment of policies for the establishment of a stable high school credit system.

Published: November 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out what experiences of mothers of adolescents with Internet addiction tendencies and to reveal the meanings of mothers' experiences. Methods In order to achieve the purpose of the study, a Korean-style Internet addiction self-diagnosis test (K-scale) was conducted on mothers and adolescents, respectively. The results showed that both mothers and adolescents were “potential risk users” and “high risk users.”. Among them, a study was conducted on mothers. The interviews were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological method, and the four-step procedures were applied to grasp the overall meanings, distinguish the meanings, convert the academic terms, and integrate them into general structural statements. Results As a result of the study, 72 semantic units, 36 sub-components, and 8 components were derived. The eight components were “feeling a sense of crisis,” “response to eliminate problems,” “vicious cycle of conflict,” “collapsing presence as a mother,” “getting smaller in a relationship,” “considering mother's role,” “attempting to change,” and “picturing hope.” It was revealed that mothers experienced worsening experiences when they only tried to eliminate their children's Internet addiction problems, and that it led to a virtuous cycle of recovery when they tried to reset their relationship with their children through existential concerns about the mother's role in frustrating situations. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it examined the mother's experiences in coping with Internet problems by exploring in detail and in-depth what experiences of mothers of adolescents with Internet-addiction tendencies. Based on the results of this study, psychological and educational intervention directions were presented to solve the difficulties of mothers of adolescents with Internet addiction tendencies.

The Doctrine of Supra-Constitutionality and Lithuanian Constitutional Identity
Authors: Žalimas Dainius
Published: November 2022

The aim of this article is to analyse the doctrine of supra-constitutionality, as developed by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania, and its impact on the concept of the Lithuanian constitutional identity. The article deals with origins of the doctrine of supra-constitutionality, its content and consequences for the paradigm of constitutional law. This doctrine follows from the fundamental constitutional acts of the State of Lithuania, first and foremost, from the Act of Independence of 16 February 1918. From the standpoint of the current Constitution of 1992, these acts are considered to be pre-constitutional acts of constitutive (re-constitutive) nature, adopted by the supreme representative institutions of the People, which expressed the will to establish (re-establish) the independent democratic State of Lithuania. Therefore, the fundamental constitutional acts of the State of Lithuania are particular primary sources of the Lithuanian constitutional law. Their core provisions establish the unamendable fundamental constitutional principles – independence of the State, democracy, and the inherent nature of human rights. These principles have supra-constitutional force and cannot be denied by any constitution of Lithuania. On the contrary, it is the Constitution that derives from the fundamental constitutional acts and must unconditionally protect the irrevocable constitutional values. Thus, the element of supra-constitutionality present in the fundamental constitutional acts is not contrary to the concept of the Constitution, as supreme law. It is rather the cornerstone of the modern Lithuanian constitutionalism, which together with other constitutional traditions expressed by those acts allows us to define the constitutional identity of Lithuania.

Immediate complete denture: A case report
Authors: Tihacek-Sojic Ljiljana , Zupac Luka , Milicic-Lazic Minja
Published: November 2022

An immediate denture is a temporary or permanent removable denture fabricated
in the presence of natural teeth. Patients diagnosed with periodontitis are
usually indicated for this type of dentures. Fabrication according to the
specific protocol can enhance functional, phonetic, and aesthetic
rehabilitation immediately after tooth extraction. Laboratory procedures
have few specificities in comparison to conventional complete dentures, but
the most important one is trimming the cast according to previously examined
periodontal status. Following the production protocol, it is possible to
provide functional, phonetic and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient
immediately after tooth extraction. In addition, it is possible to achieve
proper remodeling of the residual alveolar ridge owing to the direct contact
of the denture base with the extraction wound during the consolidation
period. The aim of this paper is to present clinical and laboratory
procedures in the process of making immediate complete denture.
Ett gemensamt fokus: Att bygga kulturer för samverkan mellan förskoleklass, fritidshem och grundskola
Authors: Lago Lina , Elvstrand Helene , Antesten Britta , Källman Johanna , Rydell Emma , Vall Kim , Waldeck Ann-Sofie
Published: November 2022

I denna text undersöks vad som skapar förutsättningar för och främjar samverkanskulturer på en skola, med fokus på hur samverkan beskrivs av lärare i förskoleklass, fritidshem och grundskola. Resultaten bygger på en analys av 67 kvalitativa enkäter besvarade av personal på tre skolor som under tre år deltagit i ett aktionsforskningsprojekt för att utveckla samverkan mellan förskoleklass, fritidshem och grundskola. Dessa bearbetades i en skrivprocess i vilken lärare från dessa tre skolor deltog tillsammans med forskare. Resultaten visar på tre olika fokus för samverkan: organisering av gemensamma elever, gemensamma aktiviteter och gemensamma värden. Dessa fokus för samverkan är ömsesidigt beroende av varandra, men beroende på vilket fokus som sätts främst framstår samverkan i lärarnas beskrivningar vara mer eller mindre hållbar i relation till förändring. Gemensamma aktiviteter och gemensamma elever är en viktig grund för samverkan, men för att bygga hållbara samverkanskulturer framstår gemensamma värden vara av central betydelse. Det innebär att lärare i förskoleklass, fritidshem och grundskola behöver ges möjlighet till gemensamma former för kunskapsutbyte, diskussioner och samtal.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
A joint focus: Building cultures for co-operation between preschool class, school-age educare and primary school
This text examines what promotes conditions for co-operation and collaborative cultures at a school. Focus is on how collaboration is described by teachers in preschool class, schoolage educare and primary school. The results are based on an analysis of 67 qualitative surveys answered by staff at three schools that for three years participated in an action research project to develop co-operation between preschool class, after-school center and primary school. These were processed in a writing group in which teachers from the three schools participated together with researchers. The results show three different focuses for co-operation: shared groups of pupils, joint activities and joint knowledge. These focuses for co-operation are mutually dependent on each other, but depending on which focus is put first, co-operation appears to be more or less sustainable in relation to change. Shared groups of pupils and joint activities are important basis for co-operation, but to build sustainable collaborative cultures, joint knowledge appears to be of central importance. This means that teachers in pre-school classes, school-age educare and primary schools need to be given the opportunity to have knowledge exchange, discussions and conversations across teacher groups.

Resilience in Mothers having Children with Disabilities
Authors:   Reserch Scholar, Department of Psychology Gurukula Kangri (Deemed to be University), Haridwar Uttarakhand, India, Singh Kishan Kumar
Published: November 2022

In a developing society and community with limited rehabilitation and care services there are major challenges for mothers with disabled children and the responsibility of a child’s growth falls solely on the shoulders of the mother or caregivers. Understanding the resilience in mothers (caregivers) is becoming more important as a process in the area of disabilities, for quality development and caring of children with disabilities. The question tthat comes to mind is, what factors make some families do well in adverse conditions while others fight to keep their family life functional, when they are subjected to similar stresses? The aim of this research is to explore the role of resilience factors in mothers having children with disabilities. This study was conducted to assess the resilience of mothers who have children with disabilities. In this scientific study all 300 mothers (100 mothers with intellectual disability, 100 mothers with locomotor disability, and 100 mothers of normal children) were selected from northern India. The resilience scales were administered to assess the resilience variable; the scale has the 4-factor solution, which had 31 items: the alpha reliability coefficient was 0.95. The result of the study shows that the F-value for resilience in mothers of intellectually disabled children, children with locomotor disabilities and of normal children the F value for resilience is 198.379 which is significant at 0.001 levels of significance. This shows that there is difference within the group of mothers of intellectually disabled children, children with locomotor disabilities and normal children. Findings reveal that the level of resilience is different in mothers of intellectually disabled children, children with locomotor disablilities and normal children. The dentification of factors that promote resilience in mothers of children with intellectual disabilities is likely to advance clinical practice by providing new emphasis in clinical areas in family- centered care. Evidence supports the theory that resilience is linked to the availability and accessibility of culturally relevant resources. The results are especially important for building a group of resilient mothers who will be involved in their children’s recovery.

Authors: Toprak Talip , Bakici Doğuş , Kaymakçi Ayşenur Turgut , Gelen Ertuğrul
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the temporal effects of static and dynamic post-activation potentiation (PAP) conditioning activities on agility performance.

Material and Methods: Fourteen male adolescent soccer players participated in the study. Participants performed three different conditioning activities randomly on non-consecutive days. Conditioning activities consisted of static, dynamic, and control protocols. The dynamic protocol was performed with the dynamic squat at 85% of 1-repetition maximum while the static protocol was performed 3 repetitions x 3 seconds of the isometric squat. The control protocol only completed a standardized warm-up. After the baseline measurements were taken, all protocols completed the agility test in 15th seconds, 2,4,6,8,10,12,14th minutes. Repeated measures in ANOVA were used to determine differences between PAP protocols and the Bonferroni post hoc test was employed to determine which protocol caused a significant difference.

Results: There was no significant difference between protocols in baseline (p<.925, ηp2 = 0.006), however, the control protocol caused a significant difference in 15th seconds and 2nd minutes compared to static and dynamic protocols (p<.001, ηp2 = 0.73, 0.72, respectively). In the 4th and 6th minutes static and dynamic protocols caused a significant difference compared to control (p<.001, ηp2 = 0.46-0.89, respectively), and in the 8th-minute static and dynamic protocols reached the peak performance (p<.001, ηp2 = 0.96). Although in the 10-12-14th minutes static and dynamic protocols’ performance values gradually reduced. However, they always were better compared to the control protocol (p<.001, ηp2 = 0.91-0.93-0.96, respectively).

Conclusions: Adolescent soccer players can benefit from both static and dynamic PAP protocols before competition or halftime to improve performance.

Published: November 2022

The aim of our work was to find out the level of explosive force of lower extremities and the rate of muscular fatigue of lower extremities of artistic female gymnasts. The research file consisted of 8 female competitors of B category (year of birth: 2010.5 ± 1.20, physical height 148 ± 10 cm, body weight 36.25 ± 5.44 kg, BMI 16,46 ± 0,68 kg/m2). In our ex post facto research, which took place in gymnastic club PAVLO Trencin, we used measuring device FiTRO Jumper that has been placed on floor exercise. In input and output measurement we found out the parameters of jumps by two standardized tests. The female probands had 2 attempts (IO: 2´) in each motoric test we recorded the better attempt on the tables. We measured the height of upward leap (V.V.) [cm] in vertical jump with countermovement (VVsPP) without swing work of arms. In 10s test of repeated upward leaps without the aid of arms we measured power in active phase of take-off (Pmax) in [W.kg−1] and fatigue index (I.U.) in [%]. Among measurements the female gymnasts underwent the circular training with 10 exercises (IZ: 40 s, IO: 15 s) and acrobatic preparation. For processing of results we used non-parametric Wilcoxon´s T-test and paired T-test in which we found up significance at the level p ≤ 0.01, p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.10 of statistical significance level. By comparison of obtained results at the beginning of training unit (TJ) in tests of VVsPP (V.V.= 26 ± 2.12 cm), 10s test of repeated upward leaps (Pmax= 40.64 ± 7.6 W.kg−1, I.U.= 23.79 ± 8.01 %) and at the end of TJ in tests of VVsPP (V.V.= 24.08 ± 1.36 cm), of 10 s test of repeated upward leaps (Pmax= 40.71 ± 5.16 W.kg−1, I.U.= 29.46 ± 10.2 %) we found out that the statistical significance was confirmed at the 0.05 % level of statistical significance only in the height of upward jump in VVsPP where significantly lower values were measured at the end of the training unit. Differences in parameters performance and fatigue index did not manifest themselves at the level of statistical significance.

Background: For decades, the resident of Zuru emirate have used herbal medicine to treat liver-related diseases including jaundice. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate and document the herbal medicine used for treating jaundice in Zuru emirate.

Method: Oral interviews and questionnaire were used to document information on medicinal plants, medicinal practices, and demographic profiles of respondents. The medicinal plants that were mentioned were collected, identified, and assigned voucher numbers. The names were further authenticated using www.theplantlist.org and theworldfloraonline.org. Thereafter, the methanol stem bark extracts of three of the most frequently mentioned plants were subjected to in vitro bilirubin degradation assay.

Result: A total of 46 TMPs Traditional medicine practitioners responded and cited 28 medicinal plants and medicinal practices used to treat jaundice. The most frequently mentioned plants were Erythrina senegalensis (19.6%) followed by Cochlospermum planchonii (13%), and Anogeissus leiocarpus (13%). The herbal remedies were prepared using different parts of the plants as boiled juice or powder and mostly taken as juice with pap or fresh raw cow milk. The in vitro bilirubin degradation assay revealed a time-dependent and dose-dependent bilirubin degradation by Anogeissus leiocarpus (63.05 %), Erythrina senegalensis (46.33%), and Cochlospermum planchonii (27.45%).

Conclusion: The present findings revealed the medicinal plants that are used to treat jaundice and the potential jaundice ameliorative effect of these plants may involve bilirubin degradation. Future in vitro and in vivo mechanistic studies should investigate the jaundice ameliorative potency of these plants.
The Global Well-Being Study of Szeklerland

Published: November 2022

On a global level, the analysis of the well-being of countries and ethnic groups is receiving increasing attention. As part of a larger study, we used the Global Well-Being scale among Hungarian residents in the Szeklerland region1 of Romania. The scale aims to measure the well-being experienced emotionally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually (Oláh–Kapitány-Fövény 2012). The study was conducted using an online questionnaire filled out by 1,117 persons aged from 16 to 89, from 286 settlements in Harghita, Covasna, and Mureş counties. The results show that the global welfare indicators have average or above average values among the respondents from Szeklerland. The emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being are above the cut-off score. The well-being of the young age group and that of women is higher. In rural regions, the spiritual well-being is also higher.

Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties and as a tool to absorb net carbon from the atmosphere. In this study we determined the signatures of organic molecular markers in soil following the incorporation of 5 and 10 t/ha biochar in a Fluvisol, cultivated with maize at the experimental field of the ISSAPP “N. Poushkarov” institute in Bulgaria. The n-alkane distribution in the biochar treated soils was uni- or bimodal maximizing at n-C17 alkane, n-C18 or C18 branched alkanes, i.e. there was an imprint of biomass burning, e.g. from the biochar due to predominance of short chain (< C20) homologues and increased microbial activity (presence of branched alkanes). This is also confirmed by the values for the average chain length (ACL) of n-alkanes which indicated prevalence of homologues of shorter chain (20–21 C atoms) in the variants of longer biochar residence time. There was evidence of trans-13-docosenamide, which originated from biochar. Fatty acids and fatty alcohols distributions also implicate microbial contribution to soil organic matter (SOM), supporting the suggestion that biochar addition can improve soil microbiological status.
Intensity and persistence of water repellency at different soil moisture contents and depths after a forest wildfire
Authors: Caltabellotta Gaetano , Iovino Massimo , Bagarello Vincenzo
Published: November 2022

The Mediterranean mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest of Moarda (Palermo) was affected by a large wildfire in summer 2020. In spring 2021, burned and unburned loam soil sites were sampled and the water drop penetration time (WDPT) and ethanol percentage (EP) tests applied to assess the influence of wetting-drying processes and soil water content on post-fire soil water repellency (SWR) as well as its vertical distribution. According to the WDPT test, the surface layer of the natural unburned soils was severely hydrophobic at intermediate soil water contents roughly corresponding to wilting point and SWR reduced either for very dry conditions (air- or oven-dried conditions) or wetter conditions close to field capacity. For these soils, EP test yielded results in agreement with WDPT. An influence of the wetting/drying cycle was detected as, for a given soil water content, WDPT was generally higher for the drying than the wetting process. The surface of burned soils was always wettable independently of the soil water content. The vertical distribution of SWR was modified by wildfire and the maximum hydrophobicity layer, that was located at the surface of the unburned soils, moved to a depth of 2–4 cm in the soils of burned sites. The results confirmed that wildfire can induce destruction of soil water repellency (SWR) naturally occurring at the surface of forest soils and create a shallow hydrophobic layer that may increase overland flow and erosion risk.
What’s Trending on Twitter Regarding the Most Recently Approved Oral Agent for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)?
Authors: Boot Alexandria , Deas Crystal
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a key therapeutic strategy for HIV prevention. Descovy® is the most recently approved oral agent for PrEP. Despite availability, there continues to be suboptimal PrEP use among at-risk individuals. Social media platforms have a role in disseminating health information, to include education on PrEP.
Material and methods: A content analysis was conducted of “tweets” posted on Twitter® during the initial year of Descovy’s FDA approval for PrEP. The coding schema captured content related to the indication, appropriate use, costs, and safety profile of Descovy.
Results: Most tweets provided information on target population, dosing strategy, and side effects of Descovy. Information on costs and appropriate use was frequently missing.
Conclusion: Health educators and providers should be aware of gaps in social media messaging concerning PrEP and should educate patients to ensure they are well informed when considering PrEP.
