Identity Disguise: Communication and Resistance Strategies Against Discrimination Against Victims of Sexual Violence
Authors: Fitri Ainal , Husna Fathayatul
Published: February 2025

Sexual violence is an important issue that must be resolved as quickly and precisely as possible. In general, many cases of sexual violence are experienced by women from various sectors. These victims need help not only to catch the perpetrator and provide counseling, but also need protection in the form of disguised identity. There have been many mental healing efforts provided by various parties to victims of sexual violence, but still few focus on disguising the identities of the victims. In fact, victims also need their identity to be protected as best as possible. This effort has been carried out by one of the religious education institutions in Aceh, namely Dayah Diniyah Darussalam. The Dayah that he leads is used as a safe house for victims of sexual violence and also provides various efforts to restore the mental health of the victims, one of which is by disguising their identity as victims. Departing from this topic, this article examines the communication strategies developed by the Dayah to fight discrimination against victims of sexual violence. This research was studied using a qualitative approach and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. This research uses Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) to analyze the found data. The results of the research are that efforts to disguise identity can be used as a communication strategy to protect victims of sexual violence.

Published: February 2025

Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. This study investigated gender power dynamics and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services among youth in Southwest Nigeria, using Connell's Theory of Gender and Power to explain the study. The study employed descriptive research design, in which multistage sampling techniques was adopted and questionnaire was used to gather information from 1200 respondents made up of youths aged 15 and 35 in Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo. Results: The findings from the study revealed a concerning lack of understanding of SRH services among youth, with knowledge often rooted in social myths and misconceptions. For example, 59% believed people with HIV always appear unhealthy. While most understood major SRH components like contraception and sexual violence, only 29% of males were familiar with periodic abstinence, preferring condoms. The study found low SRH service uptake among males, attributed to service-related barriers. Interestingly, while 78% agreed that either party can initiate condom use, 34% of males perceived a girl's suggestion as distrustful. Urgent policy reforms are recommended including establishing youth-friendly SRH centers, educational campaigns, and promoting equitable decision-making to empower youth and improve SRH service access. A gender disparity emerged, with females showing higher awareness of various contraceptive methods, potentially reinforcing traditional gender roles. This aligns with previous findings indicating greater HIV awareness compared to other SRH aspects. Societal norms dictate gender-specific risk-taking behaviors, particularly among males, impacting women's health. These behaviors include avoiding condoms, substance abuse, and reluctance to seek HIV testing and treatment. This can lead to issues like violence, STIs, and unintended pregnancies. Based on the findings, the study concluded that the gender disparity in the utilization of reproductive health services with females reporting higher usage compared to males. The study therefore recommends that there should be comprehensive and targeted educational programs that specifically address gaps in knowledge concerning sexual and reproductive health.

Authors:   Victor Babeș National Institute of Pathology, Bucharest, Romania; Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, Florea Maria-Alexandra , Becheanu Gabriel ,   Victor Babeș National Institute of Pathology, Bucharest, Romania; Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, Niculae Andrei ,   Victor Babeș National Institute of Pathology, Bucharest, Romania; Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania
Published: February 2025

Background: Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) are recognized as precursor lesions in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, particularly in the context of microsatellite instability (MSI). This study evaluates the role of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers in understanding the molecular and immunologic characteristics of SSLs. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 45 colonic neoplastic lesions diagnosed as SSLs. An IHC staining panel was conducted, including MLH1, p53, CD44, CD3, CD8, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, chromogranin and Ki67 antibodies. Results: MLH1 and p53 expressions showed correlations with dysplastic changes. Immunological markers CD3 and CD8 indicated a variable immune response, potentially reflecting the tumor’s ability to evade immune surveillance in certain situations. CD44 was overexpressed in all SSLs. The number of neuroendocrine cells was overall reduced. Conclusions: SSLs are heterogeneous lesions, exhibiting a wide range of histological and molecular features. Using IHC might enhance diagnostic accuracy, particularly in lesions with ambiguous histological features, when dysplasia develops. Accurate identification of SSLs and understanding their molecular characteristics are crucial for assessing their malignant potential.

Authors: Savic Aleksandra , Savanov Bojana , Subic Larisa , Popovic Dunja , Aleksandric Tijana , Knezevic Aleksandar
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Pain perception in women may vary due to hormonal fluctuations
across the phases of the menstrual cycle. Emotional status also tends to
fluctuate significantly during these phases. This study aimed to investigate
differences in pressure pain thresholds between the follicular and luteal
phases of the menstrual cycle. An additional objective was to evaluate
variations in emotional status. Material and Methods. The phases of the
menstrual cycle were determined using an online ovulation calculator.
Participants in the ovulation phase (n=5) were excluded from further
analysis. A total of 95 participants (mean age 27.7 ? 7.8 years) were
included in the study. Pressure pain threshold testing was conducted on the
extensor carpi radialis longus muscle and the paraspinal musculature of the
lumbar region using an algometer equipped with a 1 cm2 rubber tip. The
Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale was employed to evaluate variations in
emotional status. Results. No significant differences were observed in
pressure pain thresholds in the forearm region (follicular phase (33.55 ?
12.15 N/cm2) vs. luteal phase (33.55 ? 13.65 N/cm2), t=0.509; p=0.979) or
the lower back region (follicular phase (56.85 ? 19.95 N/cm2) vs. luteal
phase (58.93 ? 21.20 N/cm2), t=0.982; p=0.619) between the follicular and
luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Similarly, no significant differences
were identified in levels of depression (?2 = 1016.000; p = 0.392), anxiety
(?2 = 972.500; p=0.243), or stress levels (t = -1.038; p=0.302) during the
menstrual cycle. Conclusion. The findings indicate no significant variations
in pressure pain thresholds or emotional status across different phases of
the menstrual cycle.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. This study aims to analyze secular trends in the use of
medications that disrupt vitamin B12 metabolism and their association with
increasing dementia rates in the Republic of Serbia. Material and Methods. A
retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the Health Statistical
Yearbook published by the Institute of Public Health, and information on
drug turnover and consumption from the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency
of Serbia, covering the period from 2006 to 2019. Results. The average
annual incidence rate of dementia showed a continuous increase, rising from
0.95 in 2006 to 3.64 in 2019. The Mann Kendall trend test revealed a
statistically significant upward trend for dementia (p=1.54), and
non-sideropenic anemia (p=0.0002). The analysis of medication use
demonstrated increasing trends for proton pump inhibitors (p=1.45),
metformin (p=7.15), anticonvulsants (p=0.001), 5-aminosalicylic acid
(p=5.35), antiepileptics (p=2.50), and clonazepam (p=1.95). Conversely,
declining trends were observed for H2 antagonists (p=1.95) and phenobarbital
(p=0.003). For carboxamide and valproate derivatives, no significant trend
was observed. Conclusion. The rising use of medications that impair vitamin
B12 metabolism - including metformin, proton pump inhibitors,
5-aminosalicylic acid, and clonazepam, as well as non-sideropenic anemias,
parallels a continuous increase in dementia incidence.

Didactic Aspects of the Formation of Functional Literacy of Primary School Students
Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Korotaeva Alexandra A.
Published: February 2025

The evolution of the national educational system underscores the critical importance of enhancing functional literacy among students, particularly at the primary school level. Concurrently, a paucity of effective methodol-ogies for ensuring its development is observed. Consequently, it appears pertinent to examine a model that facilitates the formation of functional literacy in primary school students through the utilization of digital educa-tional resources (DERs). The integration of DERs into the instructional process significantly augments its effica-cy and unlocks novel avenues for the more comprehensive cultivation of practical skills. The aim of this article is to substantiate and delineate such a model, premised on innovative pedagogical approaches, wherein DERs function as pivotal learning tools. It is assumed that using this model in primary schools, the level of functional literacy of students will become significantly higher. This article will be useful for teachers working in educa-tional organizations on primary general education programs.
The Role of EdTech-Companies in the Digitalization of Education: A Foreign Perspective
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Smelova Alena A.
Published: February 2025

Based on an analytical review of a large number of scientific studies by European economic sociologists on the digitalization of education, this article shows the role of Edtech companies in the Western world today. Accord-ing to Western sources, Edtech companies act as experts in determining the necessary knowledge and skills of employees in the face of rapidly changing labor market requirements. Edtech companies, acting in tandem with analytical agencies, are able to create narratives about the future, the vector of which is set by investors of Edtech companies, acting in their own private interests, which do not always meet the interests of society as a whole. These approaches are used to create profitable educational products with high demand. The author comes to the conclusion that the ability to see the future development of the labor market and the necessary competencies depends not on the quality of predictive analytics and structural changes in the economy, but on understanding the choice of the direction of investments of Edtech-companies in the digital educational market, designed to provide long-term high returns to their owners, which requires scientific expertise of the content they generate and public control over their activities such companies.
Transformation of the Personnel Motivation System of Production Enterprises in the Conditions of Economic Turbulence: New Approaches and Tools
Authors:   State University of Education, Stolbov Maksim M.
Published: February 2025

The author examines the processes of transformation of the motivation system of industrial enterprises in con-ditions of economic turbulence and sanctions pressure. The relevance of the study is due to the need to revise traditional approaches to employee motivation due to the loss of effectiveness of classical incentive tools in the new economic realities. The complex negative impact of sanctions on the material and non-material aspects of staff motivation has been revealed. The author’s definition of the motivation system for the personnel of a manufacturing enterprise is formulated. The concept of a new motivation system based on the principles of adaptability, sustainability and an integrated approach has been developed. Innovative incentive tools are pro-posed, in particular, the concept of “workplace wellness”. The results obtained allow us to conclude that it is necessary to switch from classical bonus systems to comprehensive motivation programs that combine long-term financial incentive tools with a well-developed system of psychological support for employees. The practi-cal significance of the research lies in the development of specific recommendations for the formation of sus-tainable personnel motivation systems adapted to work in conditions of economic turbulence.

Authors:   Don State Technical University, Ponomarev Peter A. , Shalin Viktor V. ,   Kuban State Agrarian University, Samygin Sergey I. ,   Rostov State University of Economics
Published: February 2025

The article examines the main problems of the functioning of the national system of patriotic education of youth and the prospects for its further implementation in the context of the policy of the modern Russian state. Patriot-ic education involves the implementation by various state and public structures of activities aimed at the for-mation of patriotic consciousness, a sense of loyalty to the Fatherland, readiness to fulfill civic duty and consti-tutional obligations to protect the interests of the Motherland in the representatives of the young generation of Russians. The authors note that in the minds of a significant part of young people there are still rather vague and uncertain ideas about patriotism and its essence. Despite the fact that the absolute majority of young peo-ple declare unconditional commitment to the ideas of patriotism, many of them are not oriented towards living in their country and working for the benefit of society. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the patriotic educa-tion of young people in the conditions of transformation processes in Russian society is a complex multi-component system characterized by a high level of dynamism and variability, the degree of effectiveness of its functioning depends on the coordinated work of all subjects of the educational process.
Memorias colectivas que movilizan: reflexiones a partir del cierre de Metalúrgica Tandil
Authors: Adamini Marina
Published: February 2025

Nos proponemos reflexionar sobre la fertilidad política de la memoria colectiva, entendiendo por ello cómo los imaginarios compartidos sobre el pasado pueden movilizar acciones colectivas para su defensa. Nos referimos puntualmente a la memoria de una “sociedad salarial” pasada y su incidencia en las protestas desarrolladas por trabajadores ante el avance de la ofensiva neoliberal, que precariza y desmantela el modelo de trabajo asalariado, estable y protegido. Este análisis lo realizamos a partir del estudio del caso de la movilización social realizada en 2018 en Tandil ante el cierre de la fábrica Metalúrgica Tandil, tras 70 años de actividad. Lo particular de esta protesta es que, a diferencia de otras realizadas en la ciudad, contó con una masiva participación. Nuestro supuesto es que este apoyo social se dio por el lugar emblemático que ocupa esta fábrica en la memoria colectiva que conforma la identidad local, y por su evocación en un contexto de restauración neoliberal que terminó de desmantelar el sistema industrial local. Este estudio de caso cualitativo se realizó a partir de entrevistas a referentes sindicales locales y del análisis de fuentes periodísticas locales y nacionales.
Propuesta para una aproximación teórico-metodológica acerca de la construcción social de bienestar-es/malestar-es
Authors: Pagnamento Licia
Published: February 2025

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la idea de “bienestar-es/malestar-es” recuperando aproximaciones vinculadas a la vertiente socio-antropológica latinoamericana y sumando aportes provenientes del vasto campo de la psicología. Se considera que, en nuestras sociedades occidentales urbanas contemporáneas, lo que solemos llamar salud y nuestra percepción del malestar, forman parte de un proceso de construcción social históricamente situado y condicionado multidimensionalmente. De esta manera, los bienestar-es y malestar-es emergen como parte de fenómenos estructurales asociados a procesos de desigualdad y diferenciación social que dan lugar a condiciones de vida y procesos simbólicos y políticos (relativos al poder) específicos. En este marco, bienestar-es y malestar-es se conjugan sin excluirse en un entramado dinámico de prácticas y sentidos diversos. Además, se considera un acercamiento a los distintos planos o dimensiones de la existencia humana, que suelen identificarse como biofísico, psicológico, emocional y socio-relacional, en un intento por sumar dimensiones insoslayables. Finalmente, el artículo presenta una aproximación a consideraciones conceptuales implicadas en la elaboración de un instrumento de recolección de información (encuesta) que está siendo puesto a prueba (año 2024) en el marco en un proyecto de investigación en curso radicado en el Centro Interdisciplinario de Metodología de las Ciencias Sociales, Universidad Nacional de La Plata.

Unpacking the relationship between english proficiency and intercultural communicative competence: Contributions to sustainable higher education
Authors: Feng Yu , Xu Wei , Li Fan , Liu Ziqing , Shen Junli
Published: February 2025

This study explored the relationship between Chinese graduate students’ English language proficiency (ELP) and intercultural communicative competence (ICC). With the acceleration of globalization, an increasing number of Chinese students choose to study abroad, making it crucial to enhance their intercultural communication ability and language skills. However, China’s exam-oriented education system to some extent limits students’ holistic development and poses challenges for them in intercultural exchange. A quantitative survey method was employed, collecting questionnaire data from 249 Chinese English-major graduate students to analyze the relationship between their English ability and intercultural competence. The results indicated a certain positive correlation between English proficiency and intercultural competence but also pointed to the need for further unpacking of complexity and influencing factors. Future research with more robust methodology is still warranted to provide deeper insights into the linkage between the two constructs in the Chinese graduate context.
Barriers and Facilitators of Family Meetings in Primary Palliative Care: Insights From Slovenia
Authors: BAJT Mirjam , JAGODIC KLIPŠTETER Lucija , ZELKO Erika
Published: February 2025

Background

Within palliative care, family meetings are recognised as the most effective practice for placing the patient and their family at the centre of care, thereby ensuring quality palliative care. The aim of this study was to determine how these meetings are conducted in primary healthcare and to identify the factors influencing them.

Methods

Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with family physicians (FP) in Slovenia, who were expressly, and using the snowball method, invited to participate in the study. Transcripts were analysed using the principles of thematic analysis.

Results

It was found that participating FPs frequently discuss diseases, treatment, expectations and goals with patients and families. However, these discussions are seldom structured and fully conducted according to family meeting guidelines, primarily due to time constraints. Barriers to conducting family meetings include patient and family reluctance, the staff’s lack of palliative care knowledge, time, and financial challenges. Positive factors include a good doctor-patient-family relationship, an exact diagnosis, the doctor’s experience and competence, additional palliative care training and the presence of other team members.

Conclusion

Our research provides a unique insight into the implementation of family meetings at the primary level in Slovenia. FPs recognise numerous benefits of family meetings and consider them meaningful and time efficient. They emphasise that open discussions with the patient and their family are crucial for quality palliative care at the primary level. Considering simpler models of family meetings for the primary level appears sensible. Further research is needed to assess the cost-benefit relationship of family meetings.

Published: February 2025

Objective

Our objective was to assess the level and sociodemographic correlates of health literacy (HL) among university students of health sciences in Kosovo.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kosovo during February-April 2024, including 470 students of health sciences from the universities of Prishtina and Gjakova (≈86% females; mean age: 20.7±2.7 years; response rate: 70%). The internationally standardised European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q) was self-administered, along with information on sociodemographic factors. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the independent sociodemographic correlates of HL.

Results

Only 7% of the students exhibited “inadequate and/or problematic” HL, whereas about 93% of participants displayed “sufficient and/or excellent” HL. In multivariable-adjusted binary logistic regression models, “inadequate and/or problematic” HL was strongly and positively associated with the male gender only (OR=3.6, 95%CI=1.5-8.9).

Conclusions

We evidenced a relatively high general HL level among university students of health sciences in Kosovo, especially among females. Enhancing HL among future health professionals could guide policies that prioritise embedding health education and resources into higher education institutions, potentially improving students’ health behaviours and health outcomes, as a major prerequisite for their future work with patients and communities.
Possibilities of colon ultrasound in determining the severe course and prognosis of recurrent Clostridioides difficile colitis
Authors: Pimanov S. I. , Rutskaya I. A.
Published: February 2025

Purpose of the study: to determine ultrasound signs of severe course and prognostic criteria for recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (Cl. difficile) colitis and the possibility of separating clinically negligible antibiotic-associated diarrhea from its case related with Clostridial infection. In order to fulfill the aim the study involved patients with and without COVID-19.

Material and Methods. A continuous random sample consisted of 253 patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea. We used standard, recommended by international and Russian agreements methods of the intestinal wall ultrasound examination and diagnostics of SARS-CoV-2 and Cl. difficile infection.

Results. It was found that in antibiotic-associated diarrhea widespread intestinal wall thickening greater than 3.2 mm by ultrasonography is observed in Cl. difficile colitis. In case of diarrhea in patients with COVID-19, the detection of intestinal wall thickness of more than 4.0 mm indicates the presence of pseudomembranous colitis when intestinal pathology of ischemic genesis is excluded. Severe course of Сlostridial colitis is characterized by widespread increase in the colonic wall thickness with a maximum value of more than 7.2 mm at echography. Furthermore, there may be additional ultrasound signs of severe course of Cl. difficile colitis: the presence of paracolic free fluid and/or ascitic fluid in various regions of the abdominal cavity; increased echogenicity of adipose tissue adjacent to the inflamed intestine (omentum) and “increase” in its volume; impaired stratification of the colonic wall; thickening of the small intestine wall more than 3.0 mm; paresis of the colon; toxic megacolon. When thickening of the intestinal wall detected by ultrasound in patients with Cl. difficile colitis is more than 6.0 mm after the standard course of treatment with the achievement of clinical target results (absence of diarrhea, normalization of temperature and laboratory parameters) it is a predictor of recurrence of the disease. The described ultrasound diagnostic criteria for pseudomembranous colitis can be used for establishing its severe course and high probability of recurrence in the case of the combination of Cl. difficile colitis with COVID-19.

Conclusion: the use of ultrasound examination of the intestinal wall and surrounding structures allows to detail the diagnosis of Cl. difficile colitis.

Published: February 2025

Aim: analysis of literature sources and comparative evaluation of research results on the effectiveness of performing renal elastography in almost healthy patients, development of stiffness standards for kidneys in practically healthy patients and development of a standard technology for performing the study.

Material and methods. A search was conducted for scientific articles, publications, clinical recommendations, reports of congresses in the information and analytical systems eLibrary, Google Scholar and PubMed for 2013–2024 by keywords: kidney elastography, assessment of kidney stiffness, ultrasound elastography of the kidneys, renal elastography, renal stiffness. The analysis of the literature lists of the found articles according to the relevant criteria was also carried out.

Results. According to the relevant keywords, 288 articles were selected, including publications of scientific congresses and conferences, 39 articles were recognized by the authors as corresponding to the subject of the scientific review. And 8 additional articles were selected from the literature lists of the found articles. As a result of the search, a group of articles was created among which the material was analyzed to get answers to the questions posed.

Conclusion. The analysis of the literature data is one of the stages of systematization of previously conducted studies in the field of renal elasticity and allows us to note the importance of excluding all factors described by previous authors that cause significant variability in the stiffness of unchanged renal parenchyma. As a result of the review, the authors showed the possibility of using 2D shear wave ultrasound elastography in assessing the stiffness of the renal parenchyma by a non-invasive method and the need to develop a standard research methodology that minimizes the error.
