Authors: Grinberg S. A.
Published: March 2022

The question of the role of trauma, like infection, in the development of tumors of the nervous system is controversial. Beneke attaches importance to trauma as an etiological moment. X. N. Zilberstein believes that gliomas in the area of ​​traumatic scarring are in causal dependence on the skull trauma suffered in the past. I. Ya. Razdolsky, LI Smirnov and others indicate that trauma and infection are provoking factors that contribute to the identification of an existing tumor, the acceleration of its growth, and sometimes malignancy. V.V. Khokhlova notes that trauma and infection often serve as an impetus for the clinical manifestation of a brain tumor in children. LI Smirnov considers trauma and infection to be predisposing factors that cause disorders of cerebral circulation, cerebrospinal fluid circulation and metabolic processes.

Issues of pathology of the biliary tract
Authors: Schwartz L. S.
Published: March 2022

The choice of the topic of the collection is due to the fact that in the Udmurt Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and especially in Izhevsk, biliary tract diseases constitute a kind of regional pathology, since, according to both the clinics of the Izhevsk Medical Institute and regional hospitals, the number of patients with biliary tract diseases is 12-13% of all diseases of internal organs. This allowed the participants of the peer-reviewed collection to collect and summarize a large clinical material. To a certain extent, this collection repeats, only in an expanded form, the collection published in 195G by the Izhevsk Medical Institute under the title "Hepatocholecystitis and Cholecystohepatitis". Now everything is presented much more fully, and the number of clinical observations is much larger.

Importance of Frailty Measurement in Oncological Surgery: A Review of Preoperative-Frailty Assessment Tools
Authors: Carroll Hayley , Schwartz Justin , Kwon Sung
Published: March 2022

With the rising number of an aging population, the importance of frailty’s impact on perioperative outcomes is increasingly being recognized in the surgical community. Frailty is particularly prevalent in patients undergoing treatment for cancer. In this review article, we seek to summarize the relationship between frailty and oncological surgery and review the preoperative frailty assessment tools available for the practitioner. Due to its predictive value, frailty assessment should be applied within daily clinical practice for those patients undergoing oncological surgery. The choice of a frailty measurement tool seems to be both adaptable and circumstantial. Factors to consider when choosing a frailty measurement tool should include time constraint, patient population, clinical circumstance, resource availability, patient mobility, presence of a self-assessment option, and the statistical requirements/support available for each test. With improved recognition of the diagnosis of frailty, physicians can turn to early interventions aimed at limiting frailty-associated adverse outcomes.
COVID-19 Vaccine Passports: Derogating Non-Derogable Fundamental Human Rights
Authors: Aardt Willem
Published: March 2022

The global fervor to develop and deliver a vaccine to protect people against COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has been extraordinary. COVID-19 vaccine development has been pursued at an unprecedented speed and scale; following the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of COVID-19 vaccines, rapid mass vaccination deployment efforts commenced in all earnest. This fervor to get a needle into every arm has now led to the European Commission president calling on the EU’s 27 member states to consider mandatory vaccination across Europe. With an intensification in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and many refusing to be vaccinated, an important question that arises is whether obligatory COVID-19 vaccination policies are ethical and legal in terms of international human rights norms and standards. Article 4(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which was ratified by 193 States Parties worldwide enumerates a specific list of human rights from which no derogation is allowed even in times of a public emergency. Included in this list of non-derogable rights is a sub-category of internationally recognized human rights known as “physical integrity rights” that includes the right to be free from medical or scientific experimentation. International human rights law is unambiguous that all people should be afforded their non-derogable fundamental human right to free and informed consent. Normative ethical perspectives and legal obligations erga omnes dictate that States Parties should not make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory in breach of International Human Rights Law relating to non-derogable rights that are regarded as core human rights, jus cogens. A bioethics perspective, rooted in fundamental human rights, should play a crucial role in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ser docente en la transición española (1970-1985). El testimonio de un matrimonio de maestros segovianos
Authors: Marcos Martín Raúl , Sonlleva Velasco Miriam , Martínez Scott Suyapa
Published: March 2022

La Ley General de Educación de 1970 marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la educación española y sentó las bases para un modelo educativo democrático. Fueron muchos los docentes educados en el franquismo que tuvieron que adaptar sus enseñanzas y prácticas escolares a las nuevas directrices educativas, sin recursos ni herramientas formativas para ello. El presente estudio parte de un matrimonio de docentes segovianos que vivieron estos cambios en sus experiencias profesionales. Desde sus voces tratamos de analizar la formación inicial que recibieron en el último periodo del franquismo, conocer cómo vivieron los cambios de régimen en su trayectoria profesional y examinar qué incidencia tuvo la transición democrática en sus formas de enseñar a partir de aquel periodo. A través del método biográfico-narrativo, asentado en dos historias de vida, llegamos a conocer cómo fueron vividos determinados hechos históricos característicos de la Transición en el aula; los problemas que tuvo que enfrentar un colectivo docente ideologizado en el nacionalcatolicismo para adaptar sus enseñanzas a los principios democráticos; y las dificultades que se presentaron en las aulas para adecuar la educación a los cambios que proponía la Ley General de Educación de 1970.

A continuación, a partir de las perspectivas planteadas realizo un ensayo que posibilita pensar otras formas de ver y entender al deporte que habilitarían a otras formas de pensar la configuración de este tanto en el plan de estudios como en la formación de docentes de esta licenciatura.
Educación y enseñanza en el Plan 1966 de la formación del profesor de Educación Física en Uruguay
Authors: Dogliotti Moro Paola
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de los principales discursos en torno a la educación y la enseñanza en los programas del área Ciencias de la Educación del Plan de Estudios de 1966 de la formación de profesores de educación física del Instituto Superior de Educación Física de Uruguay. Se muestra la tenue incorporación de algunas perspectivas novedosas en el campo de la pedagogía y las ciencias humanas como la Escuela Nueva, la pedagogía crítica de Paulo Freire, el marxismo y el psicoanálisis. Pero estas convivían con perspectivas hegemónicas empiristas, funcionalistas y tecnicistas, lo que otorgaba a la formación un carácter ecléctico y epistémicamente débil. Con cierta indistinción entre educación y enseñanza, la primera se centró en las características de los educandos y la segunda en los métodos, procedimientos y formas de intervenir en ellos y en sus aprendizajes. Así, la enseñanza se configuró entre una didáctica curricularizada, con énfasis en el tecnicismo de corte sajón y en los aspectos reglamentarios y administrativos, y una didáctica psicologizada, centrada en la actividad del alumno, por la invasión de las psicologías al campo pedagógico-didáctico donde adquirió relevancia la incursión del movimiento Escuela Nueva.
Jailhouse rock: Health status, patterns of use, and subjective benefits of cannabis use in a sample of inmates in Spanish prisons
Authors: Jiménez-Vinaja R , Imbernón M , Parés-Bayerri A , Ona G , Parés O , Bouso JC
Published: March 2022

Objectives: To assess the perceived health and quality of life, perceived social support, prison life, and cannabis use among a sample of inmates in Spanish prisons. Material and methods: We hosted a discussion with inmates in order to learn their reasons for using cannabis (phase 1). Then, a questionnaire was prepared specifically for this study (phase 2), containing indicators from the Catalan Health Survey and other items regarding patterns of cannabis use and life in prison. The questionnaire was administered by the authors to a sample of Catalan inmates. Results and discussion: A sample of 63 inmates completed the questionnaire. Cannabis was used mainly for therapeutic purposes, which can be interpreted as a coping strategy related to the stress associated with prison life. Nearly half of the subjects used cannabis as a substitute for prescription medications and illicit drugs. It was found that the only variable that predicted self-perceived health status was the number of visits inmates received. This suggests that social support is a key factor for improving the health and well-being of inmates. Cannabis use in prison seems to be related to coping with a challenging context. The benefits and risks of this practice need to be further researched.

Authors:   Informatics Institute of Technology, University of Westminster, Colombo, Sri Lanka, Mahima K. T. Yasas , Ginige T. N. D. S.
Published: March 2022

E-learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. Education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. However, when a student in a physical classroom he can ask questions from the instructor and reduce their stickiness. In addition, the instructor can easily identify if the student understands the lesson or not. But when it comes to the E-learning platforms identifying student satisfaction is challenging. In most E-learning platforms, there are discussion forums to ask questions. However, there is no proper way to identify each student’s problems, satisfaction with the lesson as a physical classroom. So this is the main issue here the authors identified in this research. Therefore, to avoid students' stickiness and improve the satisfaction in E-learning platforms here authors suggest a student satisfaction monitoring system for courses or the live sessions. For this here, the authors suggest a Data science approach-based solution. Here in the authors' solution, there are three main components combined to monitor student satisfaction. They are facial expression identifier, Speech analyzer, and the students' browser history analyzing component while in the lecturer. By these three components here, this application is able to analyze whether the student is satisfied with the lecture. The main goal of the author of this research is to increase student satisfaction by notifying each student’s satisfaction with the lecturer or the course owner
Exploring Approaches to Teaching Programming in 12th Grades Students. A Study after 20 Years of Teaching
Authors:   Department of Informatics, Ionian University, Corfu, Greece, Doukakis Spyridon
Published: March 2022

From the school year 1999-2000, the course entitled "Informatics" is taught to 12th grade students who attend the scientific field "Sciences of Economy and Informatics" in Greek secondary education. The school students of this field wish to participate in the national examinations to be admitted to university departments of economics and informatics. The general purpose of the course is for school students to develop analytical and synthetic thinking, to acquire methodological skills and to be able to solve problems in a programming environment. The purpose of the study is to explore educators’ views on teaching algorithm in the 12th grade in order to explore whether interventions and changes in the way of approaching teaching are required. For this purpose, 1127 computer science educators who teach the course "Informatics" in schools participated in a survey to explore these issues. The results of the present study focus on the ways in which educators approach the basic algorithmic structures (sequence, selection and loops), data structures and modular programming as well as the ways in which the computer lab is used for teaching the content of the course. According to the results of the research, it seems that one out of three educators wants to approach the course with a specific programming language instead of a hypothetical Greek programming language designed specifically for the course. In addition, 50% of the educators gives great emphasis on the virtual execution of programs. At the same time, six out of ten use the computer lab in some way during the course, for the teaching needs of the course. The results show a diversity in educators’ teaching approaches when teaching algorithmic structures of sequence, selection and loops. Particularly high diversity is observed during the teaching of modular programming. Finally, the results of the research show the importance of educators’ training in issues concerning their pedagogical content knowledge and their technological content knowledge.
Problem-Solving Multiple-Response Tests: Guessing is not a Favourable Strategy
Authors:   Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of West Attica, Athens, Greece, Photopoulos Panos , Triantis Dimos
Published: March 2022

This publication proposes an objective examination format for assessing students' ability to solve problems in Analogue Electronics. It suggests that a problem asking more than one question can take the form of a Problem-Based Multiple-Response (PBMR) item. Depending on the inter-relationship between the questions addressed in the stem, this paper identifies four types of items and suggests a scoring rule for each one of them. Issues related to the time slot given per item are also discussed. Examination results show that both the facility (F.I) and the discrimination (D.I) indices improve, and much guesswork is discarded whenever the scoring of an item considers the inter-relationship between the questions addressed in the stem. PBMR items addressing two or more fully inter-related questions are more suitable for testing the students' ability to solve problems when an objective examination is desirable. Such problem items give a more realistic picture of the student's actual knowledge.

Authors:   College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, China, Sun Guiling , Wang Sirui , Gao Yi , Wang Hai
Published: March 2022

With the urgent demand for Internet of Things professionals, colleges and universities are faced with the challenge of training integrated talents of Internet of Things. Combined with the social background of high incidence of fire and difficulty in escape of high-rise buildings, we designed the simulation experiment of optimal escape route selection for fire distribution prediction based on the intelligent fire virtual simulation teaching platform. The simulation experiment takes Unity3D as the tool, comprehensively utilizes computer simulation technology and big data technology of Internet of Things to establish mathematical models of fire data in various situations, and dynamically simulates the scope, intensity and spread trend of different fires. In addition, according to different fire situations, combined with the overall structure of the building and multi-sensor data, based on the optimal path planning principle, the system plans the optimal escape route for personnel in case of fire, so as to guide students to conduct fire escape drills based on different real scene simulation. The teaching system takes the three-layer structure of the Internet of Things as the main line and adopts the "bottom-up" teaching concept to enable students to master the theoretical knowledge and key technologies of the Internet of Things. By completing the simulation experiment designed by us, students should be able to solve practical problems by comprehensively applying Internet of Things engineering technology. The simulation experiment has been put into practical teaching, which has received positive response from students and achieved good teaching effect.

Published: March 2022

Water is very essential for all forms of life. Most of the time our civilizations were generated on the water bank. The Gomati river is located in south of the Himalayan foot hills near Madhogani Tanda village in Pilibhit district in northern Uttar Pradesh. It flows southeastward for almost 940 km through nine districts of Uttar Pradesh. Large amounts of human waste, agricultural and industrial pollutants are discharged in this river as it flows through the highly populated regions of Uttar Pradesh. Lakhimpurkheri, Lucknow, Sultanpur and Jaunpur are major cities located along this river; they are a major source of municipal and domestic waste and sewage water causing pollution in this river. However in recent times, the conditions of water quality are very badly affected. The reasons for this due to increase in population growth, rapid industrialization and agriculture methods resulting deterioration of water quality. The water pollution has many negative consequences such as destruction of marine habitat, development of various fatal human diseases such as cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, etc. Therefore, water pollution is indeed a major and serious global topic of concern. Water Pollution matters because it harms the environment on which we depend. Destroying the environment ultimately reduces the quality of our own lives. Research survey concluded that large number of drains are responsible for pollution in river Gomti that enter directly into the river carrying untreated industrial and domestic waste. In this present article, an attempt is being made to review the various steps should be taken on personal basis to tackle the problem of Gomti river water pollution.
Computational intelligence in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation: A case study in Parkinson`s disease using machine learning supervised techniques
Authors: Raju Venkateshwarla Rama
Published: March 2022

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a complex procedure for subjects experiencing with Parkinson disease (PD) medically resistant neurologic neurodegenerative features (the signs and symptoms). Its impediments are singular; detecting predictors involve several minimal invasive neurosurgical operations. Artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning techniques (MLT) can be employed to well predict these outcomes. The goal of this study is to investigate pre operative quantifiable risk factors experimentally, and to build ML models to predict unfavorable outcomes. Based on the UPDRS stage III+ scale, the subjects were selected. We have gathered clinical - demographic characteristics of PDs undergoing DBS and tabulated occurrence of hurdles. Logistic Regression (LR) is employed to compute risk factors and supervised learning techniques (SLT) were imparted training plus corroborated on 70% and 30% of oversampled and novel registry data. The performance was authenticated exploiting vicinity in the receiver working characteristic curve (A U C), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. LR proved that the peril of snag was linked to the working institute wherein the brain-operation done. Odds-ratio(OR): 0.44, confidence-intervals(CI) 0.25e0.78, body-mass-index: BMI OR- 0.94, CI: 0.89e0.99, and diabetics: OR- 2.33, CI:1.18e4.60. PD subjects in diabetics were nearly~33 more accountable to return to the working room OR: 2.78, CI:1.31e5.88. PD subjects by a record of smoking were 43 more probable to practice post operative (post op) infection: OR- 4.20, CI:1.21e14.61. AI-SLTs verified high bias recital while predicting some snag (AUC: 0.86), a snag within dozen months (AUC: 0.91), return to the operating/working room (AUC: 0.88), and bug (AUC: 0.97).

Reescrituras subversivas en la LIJ
Authors: Vouillamoz-Pajaro Núria
Published: March 2022

El álbum ilustrado, género emergente dentro de la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil (LIJ), puede ser definido como aquel producto literario articulado sobre el diálogo que se establece entre expresión escrita, lenguaje visual y materialidad del libro como objeto. Esa configuración ha posibilitado que toda una tradición literaria haya sido reescrita según unos nuevos parámetros. Desde esos procesos de adaptación de los cuentos clásicos al álbum ilustrado, en este artículo se realiza un recorrido por obras que, jugando con la perspectiva narrativa, se desvían de la versión culturalmente heredada porque explican la historia desde el punto de vista de alguno de los personajes. Estas reescrituras tienen algo de subversivo, ya que al dar voz a los protagonistas no sólo recrean sino también cuestionan el pasado literario. El análisis que se muestra permitirá descubrir, desde una mirada comparatista, cómo el álbum ilustrado utiliza estrategias metaficcionales para proponer una revisión cultural de los cuentos clásicos.
Film Preferences in the Pandemic: Psychological Resilience or an Escape from the Pandemic Reality?
Authors: Pisarek Jolanta , Zabielska-Mendyk Emilia
Published: March 2022

During the last year, the one of COVID-19 pandemic, the lives of many people have changed in many ways, one of them is media consumption. We wanted to verify whether “stay at home” recommendations influenced viewers’ preferences concerning films, their watching habits, motivation to choose a specific film and how media use is related to some psychological variables, mainly a sense of loneliness, self-esteem and pandemic psychological resilience. Results of the online survey showed that participants watch more films or series during the pandemic than before and that they prefer various genres. They more often use streaming platforms and go to the cinema less frequently compared to the period before the pandemic. Participants watch films more for both entertainment and as a way to get away from everyday reality than before. Cast, film topic and recommendations became less important when choosing a film. There was also found a weak, however significant correlation between describing oneself as a fan of a specific film genre and the pandemic psychological resilience. Results show that the pandemic psychological resilience is moderately, negatively related to loneliness. A positive, however weak, relation of pandemic psychological resilience to self-esteem was also found.
What is English? Understanding how subject English is framed in The New Zealand Curriculum
Authors: Ward Felicia
Published: March 2022

Since its emergence as a distinct subject area in the nineteenth century, English has been an important, but contested, subject. Competing discourses, resulting in different models of English, have vied for prominence, each with ideologies about the purposes of education and the needs of students and the state. However, while international research into subject English is plentiful, little has been written about the current state of subject English in New Zealand. Using content analysis and critical discourse analysis this article examines senior subject English in the New Zealand Curriculum. The results reveal that while subject English in New Zealand retains progressive features, it has been colonised by neoliberal educational discourses. This article argues that the results of these discourses include the commodification of learning, the entrenching of inequalities, and the reframing of teachers as mere technicians. While senior subject English in the New Zealand Curriculum is examined here, the results have implications across the curriculum, particularly in light of the NCEA review which began in 2018 and will result in changes from 2024.
Audience and purpose: Secondary English teachers and the social vision in The New Zealand Curriculum
Authors: Rozas Gómez Claudia
Published: March 2022

The New Zealand Curriculum expresses a vision for young people who are contributing and participating members of society. While this social vision is supported by the inclusion of key competencies, the curriculum document says little about content and its role in developing this participatory agency. This article uses interview data with secondary English teachers to identify prevailing constructions of subject English and to consider the extent to which these constructions may foster the curriculum’s vision for actively engaged people. I suggest that a close examination of teachers’ constructions warrants attention against the stated aims in our curriculum. I also argue that enacting the curriculum’s social vision is neither simple nor straightforward owing to the broader context in which secondary English takes place.
Testing the relationships between teachers’ curriculum-design orientations and their underlying educational philosophies
Authors: Erdem Cahit
Published: March 2022

Teachers’ educational philosophies regulate their curriculum-design orientations, shaping their teaching decisions and practices. However, theoretical assumptions in this relationship were not tested empirically in different contexts. To this end, this cross-sectional survey design study aimed to examine the relationships between teachers’ educational philosophies and their curriculum-design orientations using data from 295 in-service teachers from Turkey. The correlations among the teachers’ educational philosophies and curriculum design orientations were examined with Pearson coefficients. The stepwise multiple regression technique was used to identify the best set of educational philosophies that significantly estimate curriculum design orientations for each design type. The study revealed that the associations between Turkish teachers’ educational philosophies and their curriculum design orientations align with the theoretical literature with some divergence in problem-centered design. The study may contribute to the literature in testing the theoretical assumptions of curriculum design orientations in a non-Western context.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of long non-coding (Lnc) RNA MEG3 on the osteogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Materials and Methods: The binding of miR-21-5p to LncRNA MEG3 and SOD3 was determined using luciferase reporter assay; fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of LncRNA MEG3 at different induction times. hBMSCs were transfected with LncRNA MEG3 overexpression vector and induced for osteoblasts for 14 days. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and alizarin red staining were used to detect bone differentiation, immunofluorescence assays were used to detect the expression of SOD3 and COL2A1. Results: Luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-21-5p bond to LncRNA MEG3 and SOD3. Flow cytometry analysis showed that hBMSCs were highly pure. After osteogenic induction for 14 days, compared with the control group, the overexpression of LncRNA MEG3 significantly increased the activity of ALP and enhanced the formation of calcium nodules in hBMSCs. The overexpression also increased the expression of COL2A1 and SOD3 significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: LncRNA MEG3 can promote the osteogenesis and bone regeneration of hBMSCs and increasing the expression of SOD3 and COL2A1 via targeting the miR-21-5p/SOD3 axis

Published: March 2022

Critical thinking (CT) in biology is important for future learners. The examination results from previous studies are complemented by the author's initial findings showing that students' CT is not well developed. This research develops comic books as Augmented Reality (AR) markers to raise students' CT. ADDIE model is used in this research. The scaletest was limited to twenty rural high school students. Validation sheets, CT tests, and questionnaires were used to collect data. The research results show that comic books and AR are valid based on expert evaluation. Limited scale trial of moderate improvement in student CT (n-gain = 0.38). 75% of students' CT has developed well at the end of the lesson. There is a significant difference between pre- CT and post-CT (p < 0.05). Students respond excellently to the use of comic books as AR markers in learning. This research concludes that comic books and AR are valid and their use in learning during a pandemic can improve students' CT. Recommendations for future research are trials on a large scale to determine the strong effectiveness of using comic books as AR markers.

Digital society is here, and it came to stay. One of our daily lives where information and communication technologies have the most significant impact is education. This systematic review analyzes the presence that technology, robotics specifically, has had on our educational system in recent years. Some keywords have been chosen, and screening has been carried out in the three most extensive databases about didactic and education: Education Resources Information Center, Scopus, and Web of Science chosen for being the most relevant in education sciences. Although among the most remarkable results, it was found that robotics is used as an individual skill developing tool. Its benefits as a teamwork promoting tool are not yet widely applied.

Many organizations have to adapt to the speed of digital transformation era, namely to accommodate this rapid change. As for educational organization, technologies could support learning, information searching, communication between learners and teachers. It is an important tool to change the learning method from traditional approach that occurs only within the university to online learning that is unlimited to places and times, as a virtual classroom. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic in the past, many countries have adopted technology to use in teaching and learning. This paper presents a virtual classroom model with Task-Technology Fit to assess the acceptance of the use of appropriate technology in teaching and learning and consider the social influence factors affecting online learning style as well.
Creating a Simulation Environment for the Micromouse
Authors: Komák Martin , Pivarčiová Elena
Published: March 2022

The emphasis on the autonomy of all production facilities is increasing. It is normal that the company's goal is to constantly increase its profits and thanks to automation to win the competition. In order to verify real solutions, simulation models could often be created before a real project. This saves time and investment in development. Deployment of a robotic mouse (micromouse) in production or other processes is becoming an increasingly common step. This article describes one of the ways to create a simulation model of a micromouse that will move around the labyrinth. The task of the robot is to reach the target position in the uncharted labyrinth. The goal is for the robot to avoids all obstacles on its way from the starting position to the end. The current program needs human intervention in control. However, we can say that this environment serves as a “cornerstone” for the further development of an autonomous control system. So far, we are considering the simple complexity of the labyrinth.
