Chinese automotive market: Сurrent state and prospects
Authors: Kiryukhina Svetlana E. , Mikheshkina Ekaterina E.
Published: January 2024

China occupies a significant position in the world market and is one of the countries that is developing rapidly and increasingly introducing new technologies into various sectors of the economy. Thus, one of the most important industries is the automotive industry, influencing the national economy and the global mechanical engineering market. In recent years, the Chinese economy has occupied a leading position in the world market in exports and imports of cars, production growth and sales of new cars. Even during the pandemic, where many countries faced an economic crisis, China was able to recover quickly. The investigation is devoted to the analysis of the dynamics of the main economic indicators of the automotive industry and its impact on the PRC economy. To identify the level of efficiency of this industry, statistical methods were used in the work, thanks to which leaders in sales and production of new cars were identified, as well as China’s place and share in the world market in terms of exports and imports. Using an analysis of literary sources, the trends that are observed in various countries and their interrelation were substantiated. Analysis carried out on goods of group 8703 “passenger cars and other motor vehicles intended primarily for the transport of people (other than motor vehicles of heading 8702), including utility vans and racing cars” on the domestic market of the People’s Republic of China from 2008 to 2022 year, showed economic activity and trends in various periods. The most important factors are highlighted that played at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level: economic, political and social factors. Econometric methods were used to forecast sales in the Chinese domestic market. The forecast is based on a logarithmic trend model, which has a high approximation accuracy, which was later used for a model with an additive component and a multiplicative model. For the predicted volume of vehicle sales, the accuracy of the forecast was assessed using error calculations, which showed that the deviation from the actual one, up or down, was 1.37 million vehicles.
School education reform in India 2020: Economic prerequisites and purposes
Authors: Gubina Maryana A.
Published: January 2024

In 2023, India surpassed China in terms of population, becoming the most populous country in the world. Many experts emphasize that India has a demographic dividend, which allows for high rates of economic growth. However, millions of young people enter India’s labor market each year, a significant portion of whom lack basic education and can only be engaged in low-skilled jobs. This situation affects the quality of life, working conditions, and overall socioeconomic situation in the country. The Government of N. Modi, along with other reforms relevant and timely for India, has developed a comprehensive transformation of basic and higher education in the country. The objective of the research is to identify the economic prerequisites, tasks, and methods for implementing the reform of the basic education system. It has been identified that despite the 2002 amendment to the Constitution and the Right to Education Act passed in 2006, many families do not send their children to school, and in other cases, some children do not complete their education. This is due to several reasons, including the remoteness of schools, difficulty in entrance and transfer exams, the need to help parents, among others. The new National Education Policy of 2020 aims to provide holistic early childhood and school education. The traditional structure of the education system has been changed: preschool education is now incorporated into the education system, allowing kindergarten graduates to transition smoothly into school. The traditional 10+2 model has been replaced with a 5+3+3+4 model. Regional languages are given special importance - education will be conducted in the mother tongue up to the fifth grade, and then students will also learn Hindi and English. Age-appropriate teaching methods are applied at each stage of education. In the final stage of schooling, students are given the freedom to choose disciplines based on their interests. Each stage of education aims to develop critical thinking, the ability to engage in discussions, and case analysis. Thus, the education system reform, if successfully implemented, aims to provide India’s economy with a higher quality workforce, regardless of whether the school graduate continues their education in college or enters the labor market after completing school.
Development of Russian lubricants market under sanction pressure
Authors: Chernyaev Maxim V. , Kudryashov Artem M.
Published: January 2024

The oil and gas sector is one of the key sectors in the structure of the economy of the Russian Federation, as well as petroleum products industry, and particularly oil lubricants and components for their production. According to official statistics, the share of exports of petroleum products in monetary terms was 29 % in 2021, and in some years the figure was more than 50 %. Because of global events in recent years, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences of sanction pressure, significant changes have occurred in the global and Russian lubricants markets, which have led to the emergence of turbulence in the markets, and resulted in uncertainty about the further development. The main purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in the development of the lubricants market in Russia in 2023. Within the framework of the study, the concept of “oil lubricants” and the main technological features of their composition and production process are determined. The analysis of the main geopolitical events and changes that occurred in 2022 and their impact on the lubricants market was carried out. In particular, the influence of the latter on the market dynamics of the main raw material component to produce lubricants, as well as its cost both in retrospect and 2023 expectations (taking into account expected consumption volumes in the domestic and foreign markets) was studied. The study gives a brief description of the market segments, as well as analyzes the main brands that were present on the Russian market in 2022 and changes in their composition due to recent events in the industry. Based on the results of investigation, a comprehensive conclusion about the state of Russian lubricants market at the current time and the prospects for its development in 2023 was formulated.
The current development of women’s education in China
Authors: Guleva Maria A.
Published: January 2024

Since the founding of the new China in 1949, the Chinese government has given priority to educating the female population. This is not only a necessary condition to end gender discrimination in education, but also because education has been proclaimed as the foundation of a harmonious and prosperous China, and the female population plays an important role in the social and economic development of the country. In the past decade alone, great strides have been made in education, overcoming historical obstacles to the education of girls and women. Enrolment rates at all levels of education have increased significantly. Girls are increasingly embracing the concept of lifelong learning, which allows them to improve their skills and compete on an equal footing with the opposite sex in many professions. However, there are still many issues to be resolved, working towards equal access to education among the adult population and in the least developed regions of the country, and ensuring equal opportunities for employment. An important task for the Chinese authorities remains to identify gaps in the existing education system and to improve the quality of education in order to ensure equality and comprehensive development of the population.
Fugas, rebeliones y cabildos. Los pueblos de indios de Chiquitos frente al reformismo borbónico
Authors: Martínez Cecilia
Published: January 2024

La expulsión de los jesuitas y su reemplazo por un régimen de gobierno mixto, laico y eclesiástico fue la principal transformación que introdujo el reformismo borbónico en Chiquitos (actual Oriente boliviano). Este trabajo repasa los cambios que tuvieron lugar en ese contexto y se enfoca especialmente en las reacciones que despertaron entre los indígenas reducidos en las misiones: fugas, rebeliones y peticiones de cabildos indígenas. Luego de una breve caracterización del orden jesuítico y de las reformas del gobierno posjesuítico, se describen y analizan las acciones con las cuales los indígenas respondieron a los cambios en la administración de la provincia y a los efectos de estos en su vida cotidiana. A propósito de la institución capitular, al final del artículo se presenta una propuesta de análisis comparativo en relación con la cristalización de figuras de poder nativas, hasta entonces sin precedentes en la región.
Conflictos y negociaciones sobre los recursos naturales en los Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, siglo XVIII. El caso de Santo Domingo Tomaltepec y Tlalixtac
Authors: Martín Gabaldón Marta , Escobar Ohmstede Antonio
Published: January 2024

El trabajo busca indagar acerca de los conflictos y las negociaciones en torno a los recursos naturales, principalmente del monte, que tuvieron lugar en un espacio de confluencia de jurisdicciones hispanas en los Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, México, durante el siglo XVIII. Si bien consideramos que el proceso de composición de tierras pudo ser catalizador de algunas situaciones conflictivas, detectamos circunstancias anteriores que pusieron a los pueblos en condiciones de ventaja y desventaja con respecto a la legalización de las tierras. También tratamos de entablar un diálogo analítico entre las situaciones del pasado mediato —siglos XIX y XX— y las del final del periodo colonial, a partir de cuestionarnos acerca de la posesión y el uso de la tierra y sus recursos, y la construcción de los territorios a partir de ello.

It is shown how assessments of Esenin’s life and work in emigration change in the year of the German attack on the USSR.
“The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” in Perception and Poetic Language of S. Esenin and N. Klyuev
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sazonova Lidiia I.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the perception of poets of the 20th century, namely Sergey Esenin and Nikolay Klyuev, of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” and the artistic impact of the ancient poem on their aesthetic views and creativity. It reflects motifs, images, realities, lines, reminiscences, echoes, retelling of fragments of the ancient poem. As a rich resource of poetic language and a source of artistic images, the “The Tale of Igor’s Campain” is used by the authors in the role of pretext, subtext, metatext in order to create a new artistic reality. In Esenin’s theoretical reflection “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” is also a highly authoritative work for judgement on the origin of verbal art, style, and their connection with everyday life. The artistic impulses emanating from “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” were captured by his work in different genres: poems, lyrical poems, articles and letters. Along with “The Tale of Igor’s Campain,” a special stylistic layer of poetic language, associated with the vocabulary of peasant life and dialectisms, also receives actualization. In the work of Klyuev “The Tale…” serves as a source of folk poetics. Both poets paid tribute to neomythologism. Interest in “The Tale of Igor’s Campain” became especially keen at critical and historically important moments in the life of the country: the First World War, the 1917 revolution, the Civil War. In Klyuev’s work “The Tale…” enters into poetic contexts that convey the tragic feeling caused by the changes in the early 1930’s in Russia.
The Revolution of Teffy
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Trubilova Elena M.
Published: January 2024

Before N.A. Teffy the feminitive “authoress” was pronounced with a condescending intonation, being synonymous with low-grade fi ction. Crowning with the title of “queen of Russian laughter,” which Teffy was named by critics, refl ected the scrapping of existing stereotypes in society. The comic with the arrival of Teffy in literature has acquired a qualitatively different content — the chill of the “anesthesia” of the heart, which A. Bergson spoke about in his defi nition, was replaced by heart warmth and pity for a weak, ridiculous, funny little man. Teffy’s favorite writer was not the satirist-accuser N.V. Gogol, who was attributed to her as a teacher, but the humanist F.M. Dostoevsky. With the “naturally inherent” heightened sensitivity of the female sex, Teffy shifted the focus of perception inside the joke, inviting the reader to try on what the laughing character is going through. Most of the plots of Teffy are based on the confl ict of external and internal. The main motives of her work are the contrast between appearance and essence, “reconciliation with life, twofold between a cruel reality and a beautiful dream” (E. Lyatsky).
The Plot of the “Reviving” Image in the “Venetian Mirror” by A.V. Chayanov and “The Venetian” by V.V. Nabokov
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Apalkova Elizaveta S.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the plot of the “reviving” image on the example of “Venetian Mirror, or the Outlandish Adventures of a Glass Man” by A.V. Chayanov and the story of V.V. Nabokov “The Venetian.” The author of the article notes the functional similarity between the images of the mirror and the portrait. These images contribute to the understanding of the nature of art and the disclosure of the psychological world of the individual. The mirror and the portrait in the context of both works act as synonyms and open a channel to the other space. Thus, Chayanov and Nabokov turn to the eternal theme of the limits of human capabilities. Both main characters are psychologically different from each other, but both experience dependence on an external force. One is imprisoned in the mirror, the other becomes part of the picturesque image. Returning to the real world allows them to realize the value of real life. Both writers rethink traditional romantic motifs in order to show the consciousness of the characters who were infl uenced by the world behind the looking glass. The article demonstrates that the similarity of motives is explained by the desire for a creative game with literary constants. Both works belong to the “Venetian” text of Russian literature, in which the image of Venice is associated with the drama of self-deception and aesthetic temptation.
A Bride and a Bear: the Transformation of Pushkin’s Plot in Nikolai Klyuev’s “Song about the Great Mother”A Bride and a Bear: the Transformation of Pushkin’s Plot in Nikolai Klyuev’s “Song about the Great Mother”
Authors:   Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Markova Elena I.
Published: January 2024

The article is based on the comparison of the wedding plot in N.A. Klyuev’s epic song and S.A. Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin.” In the “Song...” the wedding issue deals not only some private life but rather the whole country. If the wedding takes place or not implies another question: will Russia be safe or not? Will it exist or not? That is why Pushkin’s Tatiana as a canonic image of a bride in Russian literature fully matches Klyuev’s idea of epic songs describing faith issues and Russia’s path to salvation. Tatiana is perfect, because she passes the temptation and stays a true Christian. Klyuev’s Parasha also stoically with stands the trials. Just like in the folk tradition the wedding doesn’t mean the wedding feast only but some special wedding rituals, both texts describe anticipation of love through its tragic end. Comparison of both characters and events is multilevel (pragmatic and symbolical): names, appearances, behaviours, places, choices of loved ones, an encounter with a bear etc. A comparison of both texts helps to understand better the symbols and events in the “Songs…” and gives new clues to the great novel.
Collisions of Literary Criticism of the 1930s (on the Example of A.P. Platonov’s Articles
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Antonova Elena V.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of various life circumstances related to publications that came to the review of the writer A.P. Platonov in 1936–1940 during his cooperation with literary-critical journals. The author of the publication pays attention to certain aspects of the history of the books “Rudolf Diesel” by L.I. Gumilevsky, “Golden Kolyma” by I.E. Gehtman, “This is How Life Began” by A.F. Savchuk, “In the Mountains of Sikhote-Alin” by V.K. Arsenyev. These examples show a number of situations with which Platonov, the critic, consciously or accidentally came into contact such as the presence of an established stereotype of evaluating a book, cardinal changes in the fate of its author etc. The article also contains previously unknown testimonies of A.P. Platonov’s contemporaries, demonstrating the peculiarities of the perception of the writer’s critical statements by the addressees of criticism. The article ends with a plot clarifying the history of A.P. Platonov’s completion of a planned book about the work of N.A. Ostrovsky after the arrest of his son Platon in the spring of 1938.
The Break of Continuity as a Stable Core of the Lyrical Plot in the Poetry of Sergey Esenin
Authors:   Moscow State Regional University, Alekseeva Lyubov F.
Published: January 2024

The article is about the core problem which is the central axis of lyrical confl ict and specifi c character of its fi gurative embodiment in the works of S.A. Esenin — from his early experiments to the poems completing his creative way. It is shown that his own life in some ways became for Esenin almost a goal of aesthetic knowledge and creative exposure, that in his lyrics and poems he masterly conveys the poetry of human feelings, sensations and experiences. The poet Esenin, depicting the epoch of Russian life during the wars and revolutions, focuses on the destruction of multiple bonds of continuity, which is thought as a confrontation between generations — just formed and the old, and moreover, the destruction of ways, as a social and spiritualmoral breakdown of Russia, and with it the universal existence.
Cardiac tamponade with chylopericardium in a 6-year-old boy with central venous catheter: a case report
Authors: Lee In Kyung , Lee Ji Weon , Lee Kyeong Hun , Kim Jin Hee , Lee Bongjin , Park June Dong
Published: January 2024

Cardiac tamponade (CT) is a rare but potentially lethal complication associated with central venous catheters (CVCs). We present a 6-year-old boy who developed CT after CVC insertion in the right internal jugular vein, with its tip in the inferior vena cava. Initially, he was hospitalized to a tertiary hospital with presumptive diagnoses of pneumonia and left ankle cellulitis. Three days after CVC placement, he developed CT, manifesting as recurrent episodes of hypotension and bradycardia. Once a bedside echocardiography showed CT, pericardiocentesis was performed, resulting in successful resuscitation. Pericardiocentesis revealed a milk-appearing pericardial fluid, indicating chylopericardium. The boy also underwent debridement and joint irrigation of the left ankle, which turned out to be osteomyelitis. Although CVC tips in most reported CVC-related CTs have been commonly located in the right atrium, our case featured a tip located in the inferior vena cava. Additionally, chylopericardium was likely due to the extravasation of total parenteral nutrition fluid, rather than the usual causes, such as recent thoracic surgery. Understanding the mechanisms behind chylopericardium associated with CVCs and timely pericardiocentesis is crucial for improving the outcomes.

Authors: Rodrigues Rogério
Published: January 2024

Este ensaio tem como objetivo analisar os desafios do ensino da Psicologia da Educação na formação de professores em tempos de pós-pandemia. A nossa metodologia de pesquisa encontra-se no campo da Filosofia da Educação, no sentido de interpretar criticamente o processo formativo dos futuros professores que se encontram nos cursos de licenciaturas. Partimos do pressuposto que o deslocamento do sujeito para atuar no papel de professor se apresenta como resultado das relações que se estabelecem na transmissão do saber crítico em sala de aula. Essa condição se constitui numa ressignificação da cultura escolar, no sentido de proporcionar a experiência vivida numa relação entre iguais. Podemos concluir que a Psicologia da Educação em tempos de pós-pandemia deveria assumir a tarefa de reelaborar o ensinar e aprender o outro no campo escolar como forma de construirmos processos de aprendizagem em que possamos olhar e pensar o mundo em respeito às todas as espécies de vida do nosso planeta no sentido de evitarmos a crise ecológica e suas consequências devastadoras.

Internal auditors’ artificial intelligence capabilities and sustainable competitive advantage
Authors: Lindrianasari Lindrianasari , Kuncoro Engkos Achmad
Published: January 2024

The aim of this research is to provide empirical evidence regarding the influence of internal auditor capabilities in artificial intelligence on sustainable competitive advantage in large companies in Indonesia. By using Porter’s (1985) competitive advantage model and the resource-based view of the firm, this research uses the basic assumption of thinking that a company can only achieve sustainable high performance if the company has “superior resources” and also has “capabilities” that can drive the company to improve its performance. This research finds empirical evidence that internal auditors’ ability to work with artificial intelligence can increase sustainable industrial competitive advantage. This finding also succeeded in confirming the theory of competitive advantage introduced by Porter (1985) which explains that a company’s human resource capabilities can improve the company’s performance higher than other companies in the same industry or market. This research contributes that as an assurance of corporate governance, accountants must improve their ability to work using artificial intelligence to improve their functions beyond just preparing financial reports.

Smell and taste disturbances are potential adverse reactions of many drugs used in Psychiatry, such as antidepressants, anti-Parkinson agents, lithium, minor and major tranquilizers. To our knowledge, only one clinical case regarding valproate and cacosmia has been reported so far. However, several anticonvulsants are reported to cause taste and smell disturbances, although the underlying etiology is currently unclear. Our patient developed cacosmia and dysgeusia when taking valproic acid, both effects quickly disappeared upon drug discontinuation. In this article we not only report this uncommon side effect, but we discuss the plausible mechanisms behind such an adverse reaction. Our case is to date the second similar case in the literature. The aim of the present article is to make clinicians informed about this very uncommon and unpleasant side effect.

Esthesioneuroblastoma is a tumor arising from olfactory neuroepithelium with an incidence of four per million. This case presents a rare nasal cavity neoplasm with hemorrhagic properties that may lead to significant sequelae. We present a 69-year-old male patient who presented with worsening altered mental status over the past 6-7 months. His Glasgow coma scale was a nine, showing a large mass centered at the cribriform plate with extension intracranially, sinonasal cavity, and bilateral orbits on diagnostics. Bifrontal craniotomy was performed one day after admission with resection of the tumor in the cranial fossa and intranasally, and decompression of the brainstem, frontal lobes, and third ventricle. After surgery, the patient was managed in the intensive care unit but continued to deteriorate. He was confirmed to have no meaningful brain activity and eventually deceased seven days after admission. Depending on the tumor stage, esthesioneuroblastoma can have a favorable prognosis with proper therapies. Different surgical techniques for ENB lead to the question of which therapeutic modality is the best because of the tumor's gross hemorrhagic properties. With adjunctive radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy, more research can bring light to proper surgical techniques.

Mirror syndrome is a rare condition of generalized maternal oedema caused by fetal hydrops. A 37-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital because of suspected mirror syndrome caused by fetal cardiomyopathy. At 26th week of gestation patient developed bilateral pulmonary oedema as her condition rapidly deteriorated. Consequently, preterm labor was induced, percutaneous evacuation of fetal ascites was performed, and the patient finally vaginally delivered stillborn fetus. Although the initial postpartum period was severely complicated by hemorrhage, the condition of the patient significantly improved later, and she was discharged seven days after delivery. We believe this case is worth presenting due to its rarity and significant perinatal and obstetric challenges in treatment of those patients. Furthermore, preimplantation genetic testing could be performed to prevent at least some of the cases.

Bullosis diabeticorum is a rare skin complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by sudden onset bullous lesions with no history of trauma. It predominantly affects men and has an acral asymmetric presentation. Here, we report a case of bullous disease in a diabetic patient with morbid obesity, the first described in Haiti. A 40-year-old woman, with a strong history of diabetic for five years, poorly controlled and morbidly obese presented to our emergency for bullosis lesions in her limb. She had a prior presentation about two years ago and, approximately a week before this actual presentation, the same symptomatology occurred suddenly without any trauma. After evaluation and screening, the diagnosis of bullosis diabeticorum was kept. She was initially treated with antibiotics due to signs of superinfection. However, as soon as the symptoms improved, antibiotics were discontinued. An antiseptic lotion and topical antibiotic, neomycin, were used along with daily dressings. About a week after, her blood glucose came to control, signs of infection disappeared as did the bullous lesions and surgical evaluation was performed to ensure proper wound evolution. She was educated by a nutritionist, and our team emphasized the importance of regular follow-up at the hospital. Diabetic bullous disease is very rare and easy to confuse with other diabetic skin complications. A good clinical history is essential to make the diagnosis, and management requires good therapeutic education to avoid the burdensome complications of diabetes.

Despite substantial budget allocations by governments and local authorities for smart tourism apps development, the outcomes have been underwhelming. Therefore, this study aims to explore the reasons for resistance to smart tourism apps from the perspective of innovation resistance theory.
Methods A sequential mixed-method approach was utilized, beginning with online interviews to identify factors related to the resistance to smart tourism apps. Then, a structural model was proposed to examine these factors, with data collected through an online survey. Analysis of 270 valid responses was conducted using PLS-SEM for confirmatory factor analysis and model validation.
Results Tourists displayed varied resistance behaviors—postponement, opposition, and rejection—toward smart tourism apps. Complexity, risk barrier, and lack of trialability have a significant positive effect on the postponement of adoption. Moreover, the risk barrier and lack of trialability significantly influence both opposition to and rejection of the apps. Conversely, other variables' relationship with resistance deviated from previous research, indicating a need for additional studies.
Conclusion This research provides a comprehensive understanding of perceptions of smart tourism apps. Risk barrier and lack of availability emerged as key determinants of resistance. This implies the need for better security and promotion strategies. By categorizing resistance into three levels, the study contributes academically to innovation resistance theory and offers practical insights for enhancing smart tourism app engagement.

This study examined the mediating effect of resilience and academic self-efficacy (psychological resources) in the relationship between social support and uncertainty of COVID-19. We recruited 607 Turkish undergraduate students (68% females) with a mean age of 21.71 years (SD = 3.18). Results showed that perceived social support positively predicted resilience and academic self-efficacy, while social support, resilience, and academic self-efficacy negatively predicted uncertainty of COVID-19. Findings highlight the significance of investing in social support resources for orchestrating gains in psychological resources, which may then support one another to act collectively to assuage the uncertainty of COVID-19. Theoretical contribution and practical implications of the results as well as study limitations and future research are discussed in the paper.

Objective Current guidelines recommend initiating the treatment of non-severe (NS) hypoglycemia with 15g of carbohydrates (CHO) at 15-minute intervals when blood glucose (BG) reaches <70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). Despite this recommendation, NS hypoglycemia management remains challenging for people living with type 1 diabetes (pwT1D). We aim to assess the efficacy of 15g of CHO at higher BG levels. Research Design and Methods A total of 29 pwT1D participated in an open-label cross-over study. Following inpatient subcutaneous insulin-induced decrease in BG in the fasting state, 16g of oral CHO was administered at a plasma glucose (PG) of <70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), ≤80 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L) or ≤90 mg/dL (5.0 mmol/L). The primary outcome was the time spent in hypoglycemia (<70mg/dL) after the initial CHO intake. Results When comparing <70 mg/dL (control) to ≤80 mg/dL and ≤90 mg/dL treatment groups, 100% vs. 86% (p=0.1201) vs. 34% (p<0.0001) of participants reached hypoglycemia. These hypoglycemic events lasted 26.0±12.6 vs. 17.9±14.7 (p=0.026) vs. 7.1±11.8 (p=0.002) minutes, with a PG nadir of 56.57±9.91 mg/dL vs. 63.60±7.93 mg/dL (p=0.008) vs. 73.51±9.37 mg/dL (p=0.002) respectively. In the control group, 69% of participants required more than one treatment to reach or maintain normoglycemia (≥70 mg/dL) compared to 52% in the ≤80 mg/dL group and 31% in the ≤90 mg/dL group with no significant rebound hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL) within the first hour. Conclusion For some impending NS hypoglycemia episodes, pwTID could benefit from CHO intake at a higher BG level.
Bronisław Malinowski i Bronisław Piłsudski w Zakopanem. Tropy i konteksty
Authors: Kwiecińska Magdalena
Published: January 2024

Bronisław Malinowski i Bronisław Piłsudski bywali w Zakopanem w różnych okresach swojego życia, a spotkali się na początku drugiej dekady XX wieku. W tym czasie Malinowski prowadził dzienniki, które są częścią Dziennika w ścisłym znaczeniu tego wyrazu i obejmują okres od września do października 1911 i od sierpnia 1912 do stycznia 1913 roku. Odczytanie ich na nowo stało się pretekstem do spojrzenia na okoliczności ich powstania w kontekście wydarzeń i osób obecnych wówczas w Zakopanem, a przede wszystkim spotkań tych dwóch wybitnych uczonych. Piłsudski był już wówczas doświadczonym badaczem terenowym, Malinowski dopiero planował wyruszenie w teren. Czas, który Malinowski opisał, przypadał na okres działalności Sekcji Ludoznawczej Towarzystwa Tatrzańskiego, którą powołał Piłsudski, by tym sposobem wspierać działalność statutową Muzeum Tatrzańskiego. Muzeum i sekcja skupiały wybitne postacie polskiej nauki i sztuki wspomniane w dziennikach. Czy spotykając się w Zakopanem Malinowski i Piłsudski rozmawiali o etnologii? Czy Malinowski czerpał wiedzę z doświadczeń Piłsudskiego?

The problem of this research is the low numeracy skills of the fifth grade students of elementary school. Because of that, this study aims to examine the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with video media to improve the numeracy skills of elementary school students. The approach is qualitative with the type of classroom action research (CAR). The research subjects were 18 students and one teacher of the fifth grade of elementary school. This research was conducted in two cycles on the material for solving math word problems. Each cycle is completed in two learning meetings. Research data was obtained through observation techniques, tests, and documentation. The data analysis procedures used are condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that the learning process using video-assisted PBL showed changes in learning focus, learning activities, engagement, interaction, and collaboration in solving problems. The students' numerical abilities category has increased from 61% of students in the high and medium categories in Cycle I to 89%.Thus, implementing the PBL learning model assisted by video media can improve the learning process and students' numeracy abilities in solving math word problems in the fifth grade of elementary school. The implication is that relevant learning media should support the PBL learning model. Implementing PBL assisted by video media needs to be used as an alternative to overcoming the problem of low students' numeracy skills in elementary schools.

One form of assessment that can assess students' abilities as a whole, process and results, is portfolio assessment. The problem in this study originates from the results of a needs analysis on student learning assessments. This study aims to produce a feasible and effective portfolio assessment to measure the communication and collaboration skills of fifth grade elementary school students. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) type of research, the development was carried out referring to the theory of Borg & Gall. The data collection tool uses a valid and reliable portfolio assessment. The data analysis technique uses a paired t test with a calculated result of 0.000 or less than 0.05, which means that there is a difference between the pretest and post-test results for students. Based on this research, it can be concluded that portfolio assessment is effective in improving students' communication and collaboration skills. Based on the conclusions above, suggestions from researchers regarding students' communication and collaboration skills can be improved by students practicing questions as often as possible and being serious about following the learning process according to the assessment aspects.
