Chronic illness is a condition with increasing prevalence that requires medical care and affects children physically, psychosocially, and academically. Globally, one in four children is affected by chronic illnesses, accounting for approximately 10-30% of the total child population. In recent years, there has been an observed increase in the number of children monitored for chronic illnesses in Turkey. It is reported that 10-20% (approximately 700,000) of children under the age of 18 are followed up for chronic illnesses. Aim: This compilation is designed to examine how chronic illnesses in childhood affect children and their parents, coping mechanisms in this situation, and the roles of public health nurses in light of the literature. Method: The literature review of the study was conducted between November 15 and December 5, 2023. During the search, queries were performed using the keywords 'Chronic illness' AND 'Parent' AND 'Public health nursing' OR 'Chronic illness' AND 'Parent' AND 'Coping methods' along with their English translations on search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Ebscohost, Scopus, and CINAHL. Results: Chronic illnesses during childhood are categorized based on age groups: infancy (0-1 year), toddlerhood (1-3 years), preschool period (3-6 years), school-age period (6-12 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). Subsequently, the impact of chronic illness on parents and the role of nurses, the effect of chronic illness on siblings, coping mechanisms for children with chronic illnesses, and nursing care based on age groups are discussed. Conclusion: Coping with chronic illnesses can be a challenging process for both children and their families. Therefore, the support provided by healthcare professionals, especially public health nurses, to these families is of critical importance.

Authors: YILANKIRKAN Nazile , YILDIRIM Ebru
Published: April 2024

Aim: Energy consumption in Turkey is increasing due to population and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, increasing consumption and the widespread use of technological products. In Turkey, which imports more than half of its energy needs, in addition to meeting the energy need from domestic and renewable resources, energy efficiency studies in sectors with high energy consumption are of great importance. When the sectors with high energy consumption are examined, it is seen that the transportation sector has a high rate of 25%. By estimating how much energy Turkey, which is dependent on foreign energy, will consume in which sector in the coming years, it will guide the correct planning of renewable energy resources investments and energy efficiency studies. Method: The amount of energy to be consumed in the transportation sector until 2030 has been estimated by using the data on population, GDP and motor vehicle amounts and final energy consumption amounts in the transportation sector, using machine learning algorithms; Random forest, Support vector machine and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods. Results: As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the ANN method gave the most appropriate result for this study. The average training and test regression values obtained by ANN for five cross validations were 0.9968 ± 0.0019 and 0.9978 ± 0.0013, respectively. As a result of the estimation, it was calculated that 31.391 thousand Tons of Oil Equivalent (TOE) of energy will be consumed in the transportation sector in 2030. Conclusion: In Turkey, where energy consumption in the transportation sector is increasing every year and Turkey is a country that meets its energy needs from imported sources, shifting a significant portion of freight and passenger transportation in road transportation, which is used intensively among transportation types, to rail and maritime transportation, where energy consumption is more efficient, will reduce energy consumption. In addition, energy efficiency studies in every sector will contribute to the national economy. Reduced energy consumption will also reduce CO2 emissions.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF A HEAT SINK AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBERS
Authors: KOŞDERE Özgün , ALTUN Özge , SERT Zerrin
Published: April 2024

Aim: Faster and more efficient cooling of electronic equipment is very important. Because the efficiency and power of these equipment depend on the operating temperature. Operating at high temperatures causes poor performance and system failures. The cooling of these systems is carried out by active and passive heat transfer methods. While active methods require external power, passive methods do not require external power. When designing efficient active cooling systems, it is necessary to establish a relationship between flow and fin geometry parameters to maximize heat transfer for minimum fan power and minimum heat sink size. In cases where fast and efficient cooling is desired, it is seen that forced convection cooling, which is the active method, is common in heat sinks used to cool these equipment. Heat transfer in different fin geometries such as circular, square, and rectangular is a subject that has been studied in detail. In recent years, rectangular airfoils have become the most preferred airfoils due to their ease of production, low cost and high efficiency. Method: In this study, the thermal performances of rectangular-section fins were examined under forced convection conditions and low Reynolds numbers. Ansys – Fluent 2023 R1 commercial package program was used for analysis, which solves the problem using the finite volume method (FVM). Their analysis showed that low Reynolds numbers are a typical feature of many industrial applications, so it was aimed to work at low Reynolds numbers. In the study, the Reynolds number was changed between 500 and 3000. Analyzes were made for hydraulically and thermally fully developed flow conditions. The k-kl-ω turbulence model was used in the solution. This model was preferred because it can effectively analyze the transition of the boundary layer from a laminar to a turbulent regime. In this context, analyzes were carried out at different Reynolds numbers by changing the number of wings and wing height so that the wing heat transfer surface area was kept constant while the wing lengths were kept constant. Results: In order to examine the changes that occur in heat transfer, the mean Nusselt number was calculated, and isotherms were drawn. In addition, fin resistance was also calculated for each case in order to quantify fin efficiency. As a result of the analysis, as the Reynolds number increased, the Nusselt number increased. Conclusion: TAs a result of the analysis, it was seen that the change in fin height as well as the fin gap/fin thickness ratio is an important parameter affecting the Nusselt number.
Coestructuración multisistémica y estrategias didácticas en estados iniciales de aprendizaje de la lectoescritura / Multisystem co-structure and didactic strategies in early stages in literacy learning
Authors: Cantero Serena Francisco José , Torregrosa Azor José
Published: April 2024

Resumen:El enfoque auditivo propone el concepto de mediación fónica (Cantero, 2002b y 2004) como proceso clave en la didáctica de la lectoescritura y consiste en la identificación de las unidades prosódicas del texto como estrategia de acceso a la comprensión lectora (Recio, 2012). La coestructuración multimodal entre entonación y gestualidad se ha demostrado en estudios pioneros sobre comunicación (Condon, 1979; Kendon, 1987), constatándose recientemente que dicha relación es un elemento esencial del código oral (Torregrosa, 2006 y 2011). Basándonos en este marco conceptual, el objetivo de este trabajo consiste en ofrecer nuevas claves didácticas relacionadas con las estrategias de inicio en la lectura considerando la relación entre el enfoque auditivo en la lectura y la coestructuración multimodal en el discurso. Abstract:The auditory approach proposes the concept of phonic mediation (Cantero, 2002b and 2004) as a key process in teaching literacy, consisting of identifying prosodic units in the text as an access strategy for reading comprehension (Recio, 2012). The multimodal co-structuring between intonation and gesticulation has been proved in several pioneer works on communication (Condon, 1979; Kondon, 1987). Recently, Torregrosa (2006 and 2011) shows that kinesic-intonational costructuring is a key aspect of the oral code. Taking into account this conceptual framework, we provide new didactic clues related to strategies in early reading, considering the relationship between the auditory approach to reading and the multimodal costructuring (intonation and gesticulation) in discourse

Revisitando a Feijoo: las (re)lecturas de las tradiciones y la encrucijada de la educación literaria / Revisiting Feijoo: the (re) readings of the traditions and the crossroads of literary education
Authors: Martos Núñez Eloy , Martos García Aitana
Published: April 2024

This study deals with the actuality of the work and the approaches of Father Feijoo in relation to literary education. The (re) readings of Feijoo on the traditions are analyzed and it is concluded that they are obsolete and modern in different degrees. His didacticism and moralism, and his pejorative conception of traditions, prevent him from accessing the poetic dimension that modern analogue hermeneutics has put in value. Instead. his attitude as an avant la lettre compiler of popular traditions and his interest in imaginaries and his curiosity towards aspects revalued today as characteristic of intangible heritage, such as legends, is modern. All this by advocating a new intertextual and hermeneutic perspective, which reconciles the sources of popular with literary heritage, and classical hermeneutics with analogical.
El clásico, irreductible. Historia de vida en didáctica de la creación literaria mutimodal / The Classic, Irreducible. Didactic Innovation of Multimodal Literary Creation
Authors: Caro Valverde María Teresa
Published: April 2024

This article responds to a qualitative research that reconstructs its author history of life about the meaningful treatment of classics of Hispanic literature in the classrooms of various educational stages. This biographical-narrative research focuses on her teaching career in work groups and projects where she has coordinated the production of books of authorship in homage to writers such as Cervantes, Lorca, Cernuda and Rojas, from a model of evolutionary creation of the classics in new genres and contexts that have been outlined in successive cycles of research-action, which has received the institutional support of several national awards in educational innovation. This model is based on a pragmatic theory of literary education that delves into the irreducible value of the classic writer from a dialogical dynamics of the imaginative process where reading and writing interact, which has its epistemic roots in the coherent conjunction of concepts of semiotic incidence such as the romanticization of the classic, the irony of the form, the infinite semiosis, the intentio lectoris, the transtextuality and the reader intertext. Thus the classic is justified by its survival in modernity and its educational wealth is promoted from the empowerment of the apprentice.

The opinions of both teachers and students were taken into consideration. The research question was determined as “what is the impact of the gender of Turkish language and literature teachers and inspectors on education and inspection?” This study was conducted in north Cyprus as a case study which is a qualitative research model. The study group of the research consisted of 11 Turkish language and literature teachers employed in high schools which are operating under the General Secondary Education Office and 42 twelfth grade students attending these institutions. Interview forms were prepared for the purpose of this study using semi-structured interview techniques and content analysis was implemented during its analysis stage. In conclusion, this research revealed that gender was effective in teaching; in other words, students preferred female teachers to male teachers. However, there were no significant findings in the analysis of the data on whether teachers preferred male or female inspectors. The finding that students significantly preferred female teachers more over male teachers may have a positive role on the development of education in the future.Keywords: Education; Gender; Turkish Language and Literature; High School Students; Teachers.
PEDAFICTION AND REFLECTION: FAMILIARIZING INDONESIAN EFL PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS WITH TEACHER COMPETENCE THROUGH STORIES
Authors: Maolida Elis Homsini , Suherdi Didi , Setyarini Sri , Suparman Asep
Published: April 2024

Numerous studies have highlighted the need for competent teachers in today’s classrooms. Many suggest that to meet this demand, the preparation should be stipulated at the pre-service level so, when the graduates become in-service teachers, they are already well-prepared to meet the requirements of competent teachers. This study explores the use of pedafiction stories and reflection to familiarize EFL pre-service teachers with teacher competence. The data were obtained from observation, focus group interviews and reflection papers to be analyzed by using thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2022). Forty-two pre-service teachers were involved in six TEFL class sessions focusing on the topic of English Teacher Competence in the Indonesian context. They read and reflected on the pedafiction stories, shared their reflections on the stories through a pair-share activity, and wrote individual reflections. The findings reveal that pedafiction stories exploration and reflection have enabled the pre-service teachers to identify the English teacher competencies shown by the character in the story. Besides, the pre-service teachers could relate the topic of teacher competence to a broader social context. Pedafiction and reflection, to a certain extent, have also contributed to the development of the pre-service teachers’ teaching identity. The findings shed light on the potential of stories and reflective practice for English teacher preparation at the pre-service level.

Authors: Syahri Chaidir , Isnendes Retty , Muniroh R. Dian Dia-an
Published: April 2024

Foreign language acquisition is one of the important issues in the current era of globalization. Indonesian is not an exception because, within the last twenty years, the significance of Indonesian language has increased. This study aims to reveal the problem of the learning of Indonesian language as a foreign language. It focused on adolescent learners from the United States of America in a reputable language institution. More specifically, there are two questions in this study. First, what are the barriers of learning Indonesian that were found by the American learners? Second, what are the types of teaching materials that these learners like? This study is a case study with descriptive methods. It was conducted in a training institution focusing to train Christian preachers. Four learners from the United States of America were the informants in this study. The data were generated from the four American learners in obtained through (1) observation; (2) depth interviews with informants; and (3) relevant documents. This study concluded that (1) in general, the barriers faced by the American learners can be classified into four types: social, mental, phonological, and grammatical; and (2) the learners prefer various teaching materials but their common preference is the authentic learning materials that consider aspects of audiovisual media use, Indonesian cultural diversity, and language formality. Since the study only relied on four informants, the results cannot be generalized to all learners of Indonesian Language. However, they can provide a figure in the learning of Indonesian language involving non-native speakers, especially the Americans.

Authors: Minoza Joemar , Albiso Maria Concepcion , Armas Ayessa Keith , Calisang Angelica
Published: April 2024

Bilingual instruction has gained its popularity and importance as an alternative instructional strategy of English as medium of instruction in a classroom setting. Bilingual instruction is oftentimes associated with the use of code-switching, which is still presumed as an asset during the giving of the lessons which includes teaching and learning interaction between the learners and the teacher. This study examines the use of code-switching and measures the effectiveness of bilingual instruction by looking into the mean gain of the pre-and post-test scores of the control (EMI) and experimental (Bilingual Instruction) groups employing a quasi-experimental method. Senior high school students who are non-native speakers of English were involved in this study. Two classes who were under different teaching modalities with regards to the aligned competency used during the conduct of the study; had undergone observation, and audio recording, which was transcribed to analyze why and how bilingual instruction was used. The analysis of bilingual instruction revealed that both bilingual instruction and EMI are effective tools in improving the language proficiency of the teacher and understanding of the subject Oral Communication as manifested in the mean gain. Therefore, whatever medium is used, they could be effective as long as the teacher knows what he is teaching and applies appropriate strategies in the teaching and learning process. This calls for the school administrators to encourage the use of bilingual instruction since there are students that are still left behind when it comes to communicative competence and have lower cognitive skills when English is used as medium of instruction.

The idea for this conversation arose when I was commissioned to prepare a report on the development of ethical thought at the Department of Ethics, Aesthetics, and Cultural Studies of the Faculty of Philosophy at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. After studying the texts of the ethicists who taught at the university, I became interested in their images, characters, and fates-the personal dimension of what they did, the refraction of texts and fates in the life of the department with which I have been associated for a quarter of a century.

La investigación fue realizada el 2022, con financiamiento del Centro Saberes Docentes de la Universidad de Chile. Aborda la implementación de los lineamientos internacionales de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas, particularmente en lo relativo al Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible N°4: Educación de Calidad y su relación con el enfoque de Aprendizaje para Toda la Vida (ATLV) en la modalidad regular de la Educación para Personas Jóvenes y Adultas (EPJA) de Chile. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las dificultades que ha tenido esta modalidad educativa para implementar el enfoque en la gestión y decisiones pedagógico-didácticas de los establecimientos educacionales, para lo cual se implementó una metodología de carácter cualitativo con un estudio de casos múltiple basado en el paradigma comprensivo-interpretativo. Se aplicaron entrevistas a encargados de gestión y grupos focales a directores/as y docentes de las regiones Valparaíso y Metropolitana, obteniendo resultados que evidencian dificultades para implementar el enfoque ALTV: falta de flexibilidad curricular, de atención a la diversidad y poco resguardo de las trayectorias educativas de estudiantes de EPJA. Estas variables dan cuenta de la brecha existente entre la proyección de desarrollo del enfoque y la implementación de esta modalidad educativa.

Esta investigación planteó un objetivo fundamental: usar el dominio B “creación de un ambiente propicio para el aprendizaje” del documento oficial “Estándares de la Profesión Docente Marco para la Buena Enseñanza” para obtener información desde la perspectiva del alumnado de una muestra amplia de educación secundaria de diferentes regiones de Chile acerca de la aplicación en el aula de los estándares de este dominio por parte del profesorado. El diseño de investigación fue cuantitativo, ex post facto prospectivo, transversal, descriptivo. Participaron 425 estudiantes de cuatro regiones de Chile: Coquimbo, Los Lagos, Metropolitana, Valparaíso. La recolección de información fue mediante un cuestionario ad hoc. Los resultados mostraron valores significativamente más bajos en Valparaíso y Coquimbo respecto a la creación de un ambiente de aula socioemocionalmente seguro y en estrategias de colaboración. Como conclusión, el profesorado de estas regiones requiere de formación para la creación de un ambiente de aula adecuado y de estrategias de trabajo colaborativo para sus estudiantes.
Children’s heart and prematurity: a current view of the problem

Improved survival of children born with low, extremely low and very low body weight in modern conditions due to increased nursing capabilities, optimization of treatment and increased efficiency of resuscitation measures has led to the need for greater understanding of the importance of assessing the cardiovascular system’s state beyond the neonatal period. With approximately 10% of infants worldwide being born preterm, there is an increasing need for further research into optimal regimens, lifestyle and clinical interventions that can benefit and modify cardiovascular morphology and function in this growing population. Modern theoretical postulates on the physiology and pathophysiology of the child’s heart include ideas about the key process of cardiac biomechanics — diastole, during which the earliest disturbances, that precede the formation of systolic dysfunction, occur. Assessment of the pumping properties of the left ventricle in systole and diastole is a fundamental methodological technique for an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular system’s emerging diseases, their early diagnosis and assessment of the complex therapy’s effectiveness. However, despite the widespread use of standard echocardiography to assess systolic and diastolic function, its traditional parameters have limitations in terms of diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness in practice. Expanding knowledge about new pathogenetic mechanisms of the cardiac dysfunction formation in conditions of prematurity at the current stage of cardiology development using the “trace spot” technology (two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography) will be very useful for scientists studying the mechanics formation of the child’s heart after premature birth, and for doctors of various specialties in early diagnosis of heart diseases.

BACKGROUND: Currently, the search and development of compounds, including herbal ones, with anti-influenza activity are relevant.
AIM: To study the effect of oral administration of the triterpene glycoside saponin tauroside Sx1 on survival and changes in the cytokine profile of the spleen of mice under conditions of lethal influenza infection.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 78 male BALB/c mice aged 4–6 weeks, weighing 16–18 g, were used. They were divided into groups: first — control group; the second was a group of animals infected with influenza virus A/WSN/1/33(H1N1); the third was a group of infected animals that received saponin tauroside Sx1, isolated from the Crimean ivy Hedera taurica (Hibberd) Carrière at a dose of 11.8 mg/kg per day against the background of a viral infection for 3 days. The survival and expression of interleukins-1β and -10 in the spleen of mice on the 4th and 14th days of the experiment were studied. Spleen fragments were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic analysis was performed using a video microscopy system. Immunohistochemical study was performed according to a standard protocol. Intergroup differences were assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis test and the Mann–Whitney U test using MS Office (Excel 2010) and Statistica 10.0.
RESULTS: Administration of saponin tauroside Sx1 significantly increased the average life expectancy of animals by 4.6 days compared to the group without correction; survival rate was 30.0% (p=0.0233). Against the background of influenza infection, an increase in the number of cells secreting interleukin-1β was detected in the spleen of mice. In the mantle zone of the second group, the level of cytokine expression exceeded the control values by 3.41 times (p=0.0001), and the values of the third group — by 3.38 times (p=0.0001). By the 14th day of the experiment in the mantle zone, expression in the group with saponin administration increased, exceeding the indicators of the group without correction by 34.78% (p=0.0482). By the 4th day of the experiment, in both experimental groups, the number of cells positive for interleukin-10 increased in the mantle zone and decreased compensatoryly in the marginal zone. By the 14th day, in the group without correction, a decrease in expression by 24.86% (p=0.0487) was recorded; after the administration of saponin, the number of immunopositive cells was practically no different from the control (p=0.0443).
CONCLUSION: Therapeutic administration of saponin tauroside Sx1 stabilizes the cytokine profile of the spleen of mice and promotes their better survival in conditions of lethal influenza infection.
