Гематологические лейкоцитарные индексы как интегральные показатели рассчитываются на основании данных общего анализа крови – определяется соотношение популяций клеток крови. Использование интегральных показателей лейкоцитарной формулы крови может повысить информативность традиционных диагностических тестов и качество оценки эффективности терапии, оптимизировать прогнозирование исходов COVID-19 и индивидуализировать схемы лечения и реабилитации. Цель исследования – оценить информативность лейкоцитарных индексов при поражении легких, ассоциированном с инфекцией SARS-CoV-2, у пациентов с разной степенью тяжести COVID-19. Проведен расчет гематологических лейкоцитарных индексов у 72 пациентов с поражением легких на фоне COVID-19 разной степени тяжести на 5–7-й день заболевания, 8–14-й день, 15–21-й день и позже 22 дня. У пациентов 1-й группы (35 человек со среднетяжелым и тяжелым течением заболевания, лечившихся в пульмонологическом отделении) и 2-й группы (37 пациентов с крайне тяжелым течением, находившихся в отделении анестезиологии и реанимации), числовые значения и динамика индексов в зависимости от длительности болезни достоверно различались. Это может быть использовано в качестве прогностической информации для определения тяжести течения COVID-19.

Hematological leukocyte indices as integral indicators are calculated based on the general blood test data – the ratio of blood cell populations is determined. The use of integral indicators of the leukocyte blood formula can increase the information content of traditional diagnostic tests and the quality of assessing the effectiveness of therapy, optimize the prediction of COVID-19 outcomes and individualize treatment and rehabilitation regimens. Objective of the study: to evaluate the information content of leukocyte indices in lung damage associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with varying severity of COVID-19. Hematological leukocyte indices was calculated in 72 patients with lung damage of varying severity against the background of COVID-19 on the 5–7th day of the disease, 8–14 days, 15–21 days and more than 22 days. In patients of group 1 (35 people with moderate and severe course of the disease, treated in the pulmonology department) and group 2 (37 patients with extremely severe course, treated in the anesthesiology and intensive care department), the numerical values and dynamics of the indices depending on the duration of the disease differed significantly. This can be used as prognostic information to determine the severity of COVID-19.

Published: December 2024

An experiment was conducted from November 2021 to March 2022 and laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. A variety “Winter Dawn” of strawberry was subjected to five doses of calcium-EDTA: calcium-EDTA (250 ppm), calcium-EDTA (500 ppm), calcium-EDTA (750 ppm), calcium-EDTA (1000 ppm), and calcium-EDTA (1250 ppm) with no calcium-EDTA (water spray). Foliar spray of calcium-EDTA was done three times: 30, 45, and 60 days after transplanting. The results revealed that vegetative, phenological, and yield parameters were significantly influenced by different doses of calcium-EDTA. Plant height (23.14 cm), number of leaves per plant (38.70), and canopy diameter (30.12 cm) were recorded as maximum with 1000 ppm calcium-EDTA, followed by 750 ppm calcium-EDTA. Early flowering (42.55 days) was also recorded with the application of 1000 ppm calcium-EDTA. Fruit set percentage (78.84), number of flowers per plant (29.20), and number of fruit per plant (19.18) were recorded as maximum with 1000 ppm calcium-EDTA. Yield per hectare (24.73 mt) was recorded as maximum with the application of 1000 ppm calcium-EDTA, with a 65% increased yield over control. Thus, foliar spray of 1000 ppm calcium-EDTA is more suitable for increasing strawberry production. However, calcium-EDTA above 1000 ppm is not preferred for strawberry cultivation.

DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELDERLY POPULATION AND HEALTH EXPENDITURES: PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: Eryer Ayşe
Published: December 2024

In recent years, as a result of demographic changes, there has been an increase in life expectancy at birth and, accordingly, in the number of elderly people. The distribution of age groups within the country's population provides information about the demographic structure of the country in question. For a healthy demographic structure, it is considered desirable for countries to have a high proportion of young people and a low proportion of elderly people. However, in recent years, the problem of increasing elderly population rate and its effects have started to be on the agenda of countries because this situation creates health expenditures, social expenditures and economic effects in countries. In this context, the aim of this study is to test the effect of the elderly population on health expenditures for the G-7/Turkey for the period 2000-2022 using panel data analysis. The findings show that the effect of the elderly population on health expenditures is positive and statistically significant. Different findings were obtained in country-based results.

Authors: Özatılgan Alper , Kaya Mahir
Published: December 2024

The brain, which controls important vital functions such as vision, hearing and movement, negatively affects our lives when it is sick. Of these diseases, the deadliest is undoubtedly the brain tumor, which can occur in all age groups and can be benign or malignant. Therefore, early diagnosis and prognosis are very important. Magnetic Resonance (MR) images are used for the detection and treatment of brain tumor types. Successful results in the detection of diseases from medical images with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) depend on the optimum creation of the number of layers and other hyper-parameters. In this study, we propose a CNN model that will achieve the highest accuracy with the least number of layers. A public data set consisting of 4 different classes (Meningioma, Glioma, Pituitary and Normal) obtained for use in the training of CNN models was trained and tested with 50 different deep learning models designed, and a better result was obtained when compared with the existing studies in the literature with 99.47% accuracy and 99.44% F1 score values.
Isolation and Molecular Identification of Streptomyces tendae and its Xylanase Production Using Cost-Effective Agro‐Residues
Authors: Oskay Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Due to their biotechnological importance in different industrial fields, xylanases from microorganisms have been the focus of great attention. In this regard, bacterial strain, SHB_02, one of the best xylanase producer isolated during a screening study from soil, was identified as Streptomyces tendae (GenBank accession no. OP893637) based on phenotypic characters and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Experiments were carried out with three different agro-residues such as corncob, wheat bran and wheat straw for xylanase production by fermentation. The optimum parameters for the production of the xylanase from Streptomyces tendae were temperature 30 oC, pH 7.5, incubation period 72 h, inoculum concentration 2%, and shaking speed 140 rpm. Amongst the agricultural by-products wheat straw, 3% (w/v) gives the highest xylanase as the sole carbon source. On the other hand, the best nitrogen source was determined to be yeast extract (0.25%). The xylanase was stabled up to a temperature of 50 oC for at least 2 h, pH 8. These findings suggest that a novel strain of Streptomyces tendae may have the potential to produce xylanase that can be obtained by fermentation inexpensively using agro-residues.

Published: December 2024

No one should be harmed while receiving health care, yet globally, at least five patients die every minute due to unsafe care. This study addresses the role of occupational encroachment based on the perception of health science faculty and the risk it poses to the population. It combines descriptive analysis with qualitative analysis of interpretative and semantic phenomenological observation. Involving 164 professionals in medicine, orthopaedics, psychology, and physiotherapy, the study argues that there is conscious and unconscious occupational encroachment in the health sciences. The characteristics most related to occupational encroachment were poor professional relationships (108 responses) and acts "outside the law" (84 responses). Professionals identify educational (68), professional (108), and social (60) factors as contributing to this issue. The study highlights that communication, quality training, and respect for the law can help reduce occupational encroachment, emphasizing the importance of ethical training in the health sciences to protect patient safety.

Published: December 2024

Early Childhood Education (ECE) often lacks integration of visual arts, which are critical for fostering holistic development and promoting children’s engagement as active citizens in their communities. This study addresses the relevance of a visual arts-based learning model in kindergarten education. Employing a descriptive case study with an embedded single-case design, the study examines the integration of visual culture in the curriculum of a second-grade kindergarten class. Grounded analysis and pattern matching techniques were utilized to assess the learning model's relevance. The findings indicate that the visual culture-based learning model aligns with the developmental needs of K-2 students, addressing both cognitive and socio-emotional growth. The model facilitates an inclusive approach that enhances the overall kindergarten learning experience. The theoretical model developed through this study provides foundational insights for further research in the underexplored area of visual arts in ECE. It challenges traditional views that often regard visual arts-based learning as problematic at this level, offering a reconceptualization that aligns with children's developmental needs. This research underscores the necessity of integrating visual arts into kindergarten education, providing an empirical basis for future studies and reconsidering current pedagogical practices. The constructed model serves as both a practical framework and a theoretical contribution to early childhood education literature.

Authors: Safitri Rizka , Rokhimawan Mohamad Agung
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the implementation of the independent learning curriculum in elementary schools using the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. Addressing this curriculum's effectiveness is essential for enhancing educational quality, resources, teaching strategies, and student learning outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires to collect data from a principal, a vice principal for curriculum, and 15 teachers. This dual approach enabled an in-depth examination of curriculum implementation factors. Analysis reveals that the independent learning curriculum is implemented effectively and efficiently. "Effectiveness" is defined as the curriculum’s success in meeting learning objectives, while "efficiency" refers to resource optimization in teaching. Despite these positive outcomes, the study identified notable challenges: limited teacher competency in assessments, inconsistencies in teaching methodologies, and constraints in available facilities and infrastructure. To address these challenges, several strategies are proposed: diversifying reference materials, establishing robust assessment formats, implementing game-based learning activities, promoting online self-training, and fostering stronger learning communities within schools. These strategies aim to mitigate the identified challenges and enhance curriculum delivery. Implementing the proposed strategies is expected to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the independent learning curriculum, potentially leading to substantial improvements in student educational outcomes. This study highlights the need for continuous curriculum assessment and support for teachers to ensure sustained educational quality and effectiveness.

Published: December 2024

This research evaluates the psychometric properties of a test using Classical Test Theory, focusing on difficulty level, discrimination power, distractor effectiveness, and reliability with ITEMAN 4.3. Researchers analyzed 149 student answers taken using Cluster Random Sampling in the Arts and Culture subject at one of the junior high schools in Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The analysis technique used is the level of difficulty, differential power, distractor effectiveness, and reliability. From the analysis of 20 questions, it can be concluded that this test shows an almost equal level of difficulty, with 12 questions at the medium level and eight questions at the easy level. The majority of questions have excellent discrimination, with their ability to effectively differentiate between students who understand the material well and those who do not. However, there is variation in the effectiveness of distractors, with some distractors being less effective in attracting the attention of students who do not understand the material. The reliability of this test is very good, with an Alpha value of 0.892, indicating high internal consistency in measuring the same concept. This research provides a comprehensive picture of the quality of evaluation instruments used in the context of measuring student abilities.

Published: December 2024

Spatial intelligence is the ability to think and interpret visually, and it helps students in understanding mathematical concepts well and solving mathematical problems. High spatial intelligence is often associated with good performance in Mathematics. Previous studies focused on the relationship between spatial intelligence and Mathematics achievement in general and were only conducted on specific groups of students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the correlation between spatial intelligence and Mathematics achievement, particularly among gifted and talented students (PPB) in Malaysia. This study involves 126 gifted and talented students aged 12 and 13, using a quantitative method with random probability sampling techniques. The study uses the Spatial Reasoning Instrument (SRI) to measure three main constructs of spatial intelligence: rotation ability, spatial orientation ability, and visual space ability. This instrument has 30 objective questions, with 10 questions for each construct. The students' Mathematics achievement was measured using the average scores from two major examinations throughout the year. Descriptive and correlation statistics were used in analyzing and interpreting the collected data using SPSS software. The results showed a positive correlation between spatial intelligence and Mathematics achievement (r = 0.496). This shows the higher the spatial intelligence, the higher the students’ achievement in Mathematics. Through ANOVA test, no significant difference was shown between male and female students for the rotation ability construct, but the significant differences were shown in the spatial orientation and visual space ability constructs. This means that both male and female students have the same rotation ability, but male students perform better than female students in spatial orientation (M = 7.8) and visual space ability (M = 5.7). The study also found that male students demonstrated a higher level of spatial intelligence (M = 22.1) compared to female students (M = 19.8). The meaningful knowledge gained from this study, specifically regarding the positive correlation in spatial intelligence, will help educators design interventions to enhance students' spatial intelligence, thereby improving Mathematics achievement among gifted and talented students.

EXPANDING TAX EDUCATION: INSIGHTS FROM ACADEMIC PROFESSIONALS
Authors: Mohd Yusof Nor Azrina , Safeei Roshidah , Lee Chai Chuen
Published: December 2024

Taxation serves as a primary revenue source for most developing countries. However, despite this reliance, many governments face similar challenges in tax collection. For example, Malaysia ranks fourth among Asian and Pacific nations for the lowest tax-to-GDP ratio. This is particularly surprising given that the self-assessment system (SAS) has been in place for over two decades, yet voluntary tax compliance remains low. Research indicates that Malaysian taxpayers still lack sufficient tax literacy. Therefore, this study aims to (i) assess the need for introducing tax education within non-accounting curriculum among academic professionals in non-accounting disciplines, (ii) evaluate the level of tax knowledge among these academic professionals, and (iii) identify their preferences regarding taxation topics if tax courses were integrated into their curriculum.In September 2021, an online survey was distributed to all non-accounting academicians across the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) system over a three-week period, yielding 358 responses, with 349 being suitable for data analysis. The results revealed that (i) the majority of respondents likely support the inclusion of tax courses in all faculties, (ii) 50.4% of respondents demonstrated a basic level of tax literacy, and (iii) the most preferred tax topics were real property gains tax, tax planning for small businesses, and small company taxation. Despite the long-standing implementation of Malaysia's self-assessment system, 41.8% of respondents still had only a moderate understanding of tax matters. These findings suggest potential collaboration between the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board to introduce tax education to non-accounting students at the tertiary level. However, given that the sample was limited to UiTM academicians from non-accounting fields, the results should be interpreted and generalized with caution.
GAMIFICATION AND THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITALISATION ON EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, THE CASE OF ACADEMICIANS IN PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (PHEIS) KLANG VALLEY, SELANGOR
Authors: Rathy Christina
Published: December 2024

The focus of this paper is on Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) in Klang Valley, Selangor, which also analyses digital receptivity, digital culture, employee engagement, and the digital revolution. The education sector has undeniably undergone a vigorous digital transformation and modernization. This has improved students' learning experience by making the delivery of the syllabus more sophisticated and engaging. The effects of digitalization and employee engagement on the academicians have received less attention than the effects of digitalization and modernization on pedagogies. Researchers have shown that faculty members act as "gatekeepers" to workplace engagement, which in turn affects employees' levels of enthusiasm, commitment, and focus. Two areas of unfilled research are the focus of this study. Firstly, this thesis examines the gap in the lack of research on the role digitalisation and employee engagement in PHEI among academicians. Secondly, to examine the digitalisation transition involving the gatekeepers. The result of this study underpins a possible solution for enhancing task characteristics (psychological meaningfulness), management style and process (psychological safety), and insecurity (psychological availability). The researcher examines the academics' attitudes about digital technology between gamification, and employee engagement. Despite the large number of studies done to prove the link between the factors, it has become clear that most of these studies were carried out in non-Western settings. To rephrase, further research into the correlation between digitalisation and employee participation in specific regional contexts is required. To understand the lack of research addressed between digitalisation and employee engagement in PHEI among academics, and to evaluate the transition of digitalisation with gamification, it is necessary to undertake this study. The working hypothesis and conceptual framework for this inquiry have been formed via careful examination of the literature and ideas. Survey results will be evaluated for potential future relevance using partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methods. Attempting to fill up the gaps in gamification evaluation, measurement, comparison, and construction, this paper stands out.
الحماية المدنية للحق في الصورة دراسة مقارنة
Authors: الرشدان اسيل
Published: December 2024

تناول هذا البحث الحماية المدنية للحق في الصورة في ظل انتشار الفوضى الإلكترونية عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، وتطبيقات الهواتف الذكية التي غيرت من المفهوم التقليدي للصورة، وأصبحت حياة الإنسان الخاصة عرضة  للتطفل والانتهاك، ممّا يرتب مشاكل قانونية واجتماعية وأخلاقية، وفي ظل هذه الظروف، ومع ازدياد وعي الأفراد بأهمية حقوقهم الشخصية جاءت أهمية موضوع البحث خاصة وأن المشرع الأردني لم يعالج هذا الموضوع في تشريع خاص، إنما جاءت الحماية المدنية في نصوص قانونية متناثرة،  وعند تعرض أي شخص إلى اعتداء على حقه في صورته فلا يكون أمامه إلا الرجوع للقواعد العامة في القانون المدني، والنصوص المتناثرة في القوانين الأخرى، ممّا يثير مشكلة في توفير الضمانات الكافية لحماية هذا الحق خاصة في ظل التطور الإلكتروني والتكنولوجي السريع والمتزايد الذي يشهده عصرنا الحالي، وهنا تكمن مشكلة البحث، حيث إن الحماية  المقررة للحق في الصورة بشكلها الحالي لا توفر الضمانات القانونية المرجوة لهذا الحق، وقد تم اتباع  المنهج  الوصفي التحليلي المقارن في إعداد هذا البحث.
وتم تقسيم البحث إلى مبحثين، عالج المبحث الأول مفهوم الحماية القانونية للحق في الصورة، وخصص المبحث الثاني لبيان الحالات الاستثنائية التي تبيح نشر الصور دون مسؤولية.
ولقد توصلنا في نهاية هذا البحث إلى العديد من النتائج والتوصيات من أهمها ضرورة توسيع مظلة الحماية القانونية للحق في الصورة وتشديدها، من خلال استحداث نصوص قانونية صريحة وصارمة توفر الضمانات الكافية لحماية هذا الحق وحماية الأفراد؛ لتجنب أي إشكاليات مستقبلا في ظل التطور التكنولوجي والإلكتروني السريع والمتقدم.

هدفت الدراسة إلى بيان نظرية الأطراف في الفكر الصهيوني وما يتحقق لدولته من أهداف من وراء تطبيقها، وقامت الدراسة على فرضية مفادها: (أن هناك علاقة ارتباطية بين ما يجري من تطبيع في إقليم كردستان، والدعم الإسرائيلي الرامي إلى إخراج الإقليم من السيادة العراقية والزج به في أتون الهيمنة الإسرائيلية)، وأما مشكلة الدراسة فقد تمحورت بالسؤال التالي: (ما الدور الذي يلعبه القائمون على تطبيق نظرية الأطراف في مجريات الأحداث في إقليم كردستان ، وصولا إلى انفصاله عن الوطن الأم)، وللتحقق من صحة الفرضية، والإجابة على سؤالها المحوري، وتحقيق أهداف الدراسة، فقد استخدمنا المنهج التاريخي، ومنهج التحليل الاستقرائي.
هذا وقد خلصت الدراسة إلى صحة الفرضية وأجابت على سؤالها المحوري، وتوصلنا إلى أهم الاستنتاجات التالية: إن العلاقات الكردية– الإسرائيلية قديمة بدأت بالسر وانتهت بالعلن، إن نظرية الأطراف هدفها البعيد بتر إقليم كردستان عن الوطن الأم العراق، بالقدر الذي تحققه نظرية الأطراف من مكاسب لصالح دولة إسرائيل، تحققه من مصاعب في جانب إقليم كردستان وسكانه، كما أوصلتنا هذه الاستنتاجات إلى عدة توصيات أهمها: إيلاء مناطق الأطراف بالدولة الواحدة، وفي سائر دول الوطن العربي الاهتمام، نفس ما نوليه لمناطق الوسط، إشراك سكان مناطق الأطراف في كافة مستويات المسؤولية في الدولة الواحدة، تعزيز الولاء والانتماء لدى سكان الأطراف في الدولة الواحدة وفق برامج توعوية هادفة ومدروسة.
