Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the peculiarities of teaching chess in elementary school.  The Republic of Armenia is moving to ability-based learning with the new standard requirements for education. The educational subject "Chess" has a great potential for forming personal qualities and developing the creativity and abilities of a junior high school student who faces the challenges of modern life, analyzes, synthesizes, summarizes, thinks critically, and initiates. The problem of studying the professional competencies of the elementary school "Chess" teacher is urgent and topical due to:

Non-standardized requirements, competency-based learning (Procedure for formation and approval of the State Standard of General Education,2021).
with the ever-increasing demands of the labor market in training a specialist,
with personality formation problems of younger schoolchildren.

The components of the professional competence of the elementary school chess teacher have also been developed and presented in the article.

Authors: Brusamolin Valerio , Stival Pedroni Rejane
Published: November 2024

This article explores the potential of chess as a pedagogical tool to enhance competencies outlined in the Brazilian National Curriculum (BNCC). With an increasing focus on comprehensive education, schools are seeking innovative strategies to promote student development. Drawing on the BNCC's ten general competencies, this study investigates the relationship between chess practice in schools and the cultivation of these competencies. We demonstrate how chess can contribute to students' cognitive, social, and emotional growth through a comprehensive literature and educational theory analysis. From fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills to promoting empathy and cooperation, chess offers a holistic approach to education. By aligning with the principles of the BNCC, incorporating chess into school curricula can enrich the learning experience and prepare students for active citizenship in a complex world. This study underscores the importance of integrating playful and engaging activities like chess into educational practices to support students' holistic development.

The study concludes that with the aid of chess, teachers can help students solve mathematical and other types of problems while suggesting areas that require further investigation.
USING CHESS AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL TOOL: TEACHERS’ EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: CHITIYO George , ZAGUMNY Lisa
Published: November 2024

The integration of chess into education is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance student learning outcomes and foster critical thinking skills. This study explored the experiences and challenges faced by teachers in implementing chess as an instructional tool across multiple school districts in a southern U.S. state. A survey involving 62 teachers investigated their methods for teaching chess, their perceived impact on their teaching practices, and their influence on students' learning outcomes and classroom experiences. Results revealed that most teachers embraced chess as an engaging and effective pedagogical strategy, noting improvements in students' problem-solving abilities, focus, and engagement. Despite its positive reception, the study also identified challenges related to teachers' limited instructional time, which constrained their ability to fully integrate chess into their curricula. The findings underscore the potential of chess as a transformative educational tool and call for strategic planning to overcome implementation barriers.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the effect of integrating minigames into chess training on the interest and engagement of new players compared to traditional teaching methods. The results show that the enthusiasm of most new players increased significantly when exposed to the minigames. The experimental group that used the curriculum enriched with minigames showed substantially higher interest than the control group that received regular instruction. Current research supports these findings by highlighting the exciting nature of minigames, making learning more playful and exploratory. Minigames provide a structured yet accessible way to break down the complexity of chess, improve motivation, and promote a positive attitude toward learning. The novelty and variety of minigames encourage continued interest and engagement, potentially reinvigorating chess education and fostering engagement in the chess community. Research of long-term effects on different populations and individual learning preferences is warranted to fully understand the potential of minigames to improve chess training.
THE BENEFIT OF SOLVING BLINDFOLDED TACTICS IN YOUNG AND ADULT PLAYERS
Authors: MARCHESICH Giovanni , TAMBURINI Laura
Published: November 2024

Blindfold chess is a game where the board and pieces are not visible to its players. The project aims to verify the didactic usefulness of solving blindfolded tactics in young and adult people. A sample of 27 students (14 -30 years old) was formed, and several training sessions with blindfold tactical exercises were organized. In three months (from May to July 2023), 12 lessons of 2 hours each were organized. Then, objective measures (not subjective evaluations) of the benefits of this method have been collected by measuring two performance parameters (solving times of exercises and FIDE elo rating change after training sessions) and comparing them with their results before using this method. We analyzed the interaction between performance x blindfolding tactics compared to the control group participants, particularly the correlations between performance improvement x training interaction and the experimental cognitive path with the three training interaction steps. Significant are differences in the improvement (both in solving tactics times and in Rapid FIDE Elo rating) as a function of FIDE rating under vs over 1900 Elo (p0,05), with a more significant improvement for males. In the control group, the interaction is not essential (p>0,5) both in solving tactic times (with an average reduction of 30 seconds for each move) and in FIDE Elo Rating change after the training sessions.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ REFLECTIONS ON CHESS LEARNING DIFFICULTIES
Authors: Sargsyan Vahan , Gharakhanyan Lusine
Published: November 2024

According to the studies, reflection is a significant aspect of educational activities. Chess fosters constant analysis and reflection on different positions. It has also been revealed that students’ reflective style is more prevalent during chess lessons. Current research aims to reveal chess learning difficulties and developmental trends based on elementary school students' reflective judgments.  We combined qualitative and quantitative approaches in our study. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate the reflexive environment and the students’ reflective skills based on the principles of reflective activity theory. The questionnaire included questions about likes and dislikes in chess class, self-sufficiency, success, challenges, need for help, praise received, and teacher support. An open-ended section was added for additional comments. Conducted in 2024, the study involved 107 students. Responses were scored using reflective activity theory, with points for overcoming difficulties, constructive feedback, independence, and engagement. Our research analysis reveals that chess teaching is seen positively, and the difficulty with subject complexity was common among students, potentially affecting learning effectiveness, especially with limited class time. The authors underline the necessity of future research by involving teachers in developing student reflection to share experiences and solutions for typical cases.
THE METHODOLOGICAL BASES FOR INTELLECTUAL GAMES AIMED AT THE FORMATION OF PRESCHOOLERS’ META-ABILITIES
Authors: Panosyan Anahit
Published: November 2024

This article presents a comprehensive study of the methodological foundations that have been carried out on the selection of intellectual games, especially chess, aimed at developing meta-abilities in older preschool children. This research, conducted in the context of the Republic of Armenia, addresses a significant knowledge gap regarding the development of meta-abilities of preschool children, with particular emphasis on the use of game-based learning methodologies, particularly intellectual games. Based on the work of Bethel-Fox (1992), which clearly distinguishes types of meta-abilities, the study offers a solid methodological framework aimed at optimizing the selection of intellectual games, mainly focusing on the development of personal meta-abilities such as self-orientation and initiative (Brown R. B, 2002). During the research, the gaps and features related to the field were thoroughly studied, and specific methods of their correction were developed in the context of the selection of intellectual games. At the end of the research, theoretical analyses were presented with empirical evidence collected from experimental research in two groups of 5-6-year-olds. The first group comprised 20 children, and the second group comprised 6. The first group was in Hrazdan, and the second was in Yerevan. The article examines in detail the content, implementation strategies, and resulting outcomes of using Chess as a means of building meta-skills.

Authors: Gyulambaryan Nona
Published: November 2024

The social development of a person is emphasized by the formation of social forms of behavior, which are changed in the process of socialization of a person. The main factor in the development of a person's social behavior is activity, in particular, professional activity, during which a person acquires not only professional skills but also learns communicative and socially significant norms and rules of behavior. In the course of professional activity, the ability to respond to the work and behavioral requirements of the employer is gradually formed. Of course, the motivational component of a person's behavior undergoes an inevitable change due to work activity. This article presents the key elements of psychological diagnostics of the destructive motivation of personnel. There are presented statistically significant correlations between variables of motivation for success and to avoid failures.

Optimale regionale Transfers
Authors: Seidel Tobias
Published: November 2024

Within a country, there are major differences between regions in terms of economic activity and socio-economic, cultural and environmental conditions. These interact to a considerable extent with people’s preferences as to where they want to settle and the resulting (dis)agglomeration effects. Although people’s decisions and migration movements may result in a spatial balance of individual benefits, political interference and regional transfers from economically stronger to economically weaker regions may be necessary in order to increase overall economic efficiency and ensure political distribution targets. However, as regional transfers are associated with economic costs, these must be carefully weighed against the potential welfare gains.
Eine saldenmechanische Perspektive auf die Schuldenbremse
Authors: Tichy Gunther
Published: November 2024

The debt brake was introduced to limit electoral spending excesses and ensure (debt) sustainability. Although the debt ratio has been reduced, this has come at the cost of an investment backlog and persistent current account surpluses. The reason for this is the household savings surplus that cannot be utilised domestically. If these savings exceed the capital requirements of companies, either government debt or foreign debt inevitably increases. Consequently, the reduction in the debt ratio in recent years has led to higher foreign debt. In light of low interest rates, higher investments will benefit future generations more than lower debt levels.

Published: November 2024

Pendidikan Agama menjadi pilar dalam peningkatan kualitas ilmu keagamaan. Dalam agama Hindu, Pendidikan Agama berfungsi untuk meningkatkan sradha dan bhakti brahmacari kepada Ida Sang Hyang Widhi. Lembaga Pendidikan Agama Hindu dalam jalur formal dan non-formal adalah pasraman. Kabupaten Kediri merupakan salah satu kabupaten di Provinsi Jawa Timur yang memiliki 13 pasraman non-formal. Berdasarkan surat keputusan yang dikeluarkan oleh Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI) Kabupaten Kediri, pasraman-pasraman tersebut dinaungi oleh sebuah yayasan yang bernama Yayasan Widya Ganesha Kadiri. Sebelum pasraman berada di bawah naungan yayasan, pasraman sempat mengalami kevakuman yang diakibatkan oleh kurangnya ketertiban pengelolaan, kurangnya tenaga pendidik, inkonsistensi kehadiran brahmacari, kurangnya sarana dan prasarana, serta adanya pandemi Covid-19. Setelah pasraman dinaungi oleh yayasan, geliat pembangkitan pasraman mulai dilakukan. Yayasan berupaya untuk membantu pembangkitkan kembali pasraman-pasraman tersebut melalui suatu pembinaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana bentuk pembinaan yang dilakukan oleh yayasan, apa kendala dan upaya dalam pelaksanaan pembinaan, serta dampak pembinaan yang dilakukan oleh yayasan. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Teori Fungsional Struktural, Teori Konstruktivisme, dan Teori Motivasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa bentuk pembinaan yayasan kepada pasraman-pasraman diwujudkan melalui pelaksanaan program kerja. Ada tujuh macam program kerja yayasan, lima diantaranya telah dilaksanakan, sedangkan dua lainnya masih dalam proses pelaksanaan. Terdapat kendala dalam pelaksanaan program kerja yang mengakibatkan beberapa program kerja belum dilaksanakan. Yayasan kini tengah berupaya untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut agar program kerja mampu dilaksanakan sepenuhnya. Namun kendati demikian, eksistensi yayasan dalam pembinaan pasraman-pasraman mampu memberikan dampak positif dalam pembangkitan pasraman-pasraman di Kabupaten Kediri Jawa Timur.

Prospects for China's Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Context of the US-China Geopolitical Rivalry
Authors: Kocherov Oleg Sergeevich
Published: November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important factor in the dynamics of international relations and the transformation of war in the 21st century. Of particular interest is the analysis of the political development of the AI ​​program in China, which sees "smart" technologies as the most important means of achieving its project of "new type of international relations". This paper attempts to explore the prospects for the use of AI by China in the framework of the Sino-American political war in the context of China's foreign policy strategy. Based on the analysis of regulatory documents, the institutional transformation of the PRC in recent decades, and the conceptual foundations of China's foreign policy course, three most promising dimensions of the Sino-American AI confrontation are identified: strategic control over spaces, the creation of dual-use bases, and the formation of an international agenda beneficial to China. First, China can use AI to advance its interests in the Indo-Pacific through the concept of “deterrence through detection,” as well as the use of swarm intelligence. Second, China can both access natural resources in the Arctic and ocean trenches and project its influence in these regions and shape the norms of behavior in them. Third, China can use AI to exercise its “discursive power” through a variety of methods: from creating meta-norms in the field of global AI governance to using “smart” bots for “dialogue propaganda” among Internet users and even using the potential of strong AI to generate new “Confucian-Marxist” political concepts. The article also concludes with recommendations regarding potential tracks of Sino-Russian AI cooperation: Russia's involvement in the Chinese military-civil integration program, coordination of discursive confrontation with the United States using "smart" technologies, as well as cooperation on the Arctic issue.

For the first time, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the Algerian political system and the functioning of its media sphere, taking into account the historical stages of its formation, modern challenges and the impact of globalization processes. The key mechanisms of the impact of public policy on the development of the media sector, including legal, economic and social aspects, have been identified, which made it possible to reveal the specifics of regulating the media space. An in-depth analysis of the digital transformation of the Algerian media space has been conducted, focusing on the role of social networks and online media in strengthening civil society, as well as problems related to the restriction of freedom of information. Based on the data obtained, recommendations are formulated on reforming the media system to adapt it to the conditions of globalization and digitalization, aimed at strengthening democratic institutions and increasing the effectiveness of interaction between the state, society and the media.
Anomalous Presentation of Capgras Syndrome in an Adolescent: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Deepankar Versha
Published: November 2024

Capgras syndrome is a rare delusional disorder characterized by the belief that a close family member or acquaintance has been replaced by an identical impostor. Although it is typically associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia or neurological conditions like dementia, this syndrome usually presents in adults. We report a case of an adolescent female presenting with Capgras syndrome, which was not associated with any primary psychiatric or neurological disorder.

A rare case of progressive neonatal pemphigus vulgaris treated successfully with intravenous immunoglobulin
Authors: Singla Palvi , Kaur Sukhjot
Published: November 2024

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder of the skin and mucous membranes, particularly during pregnancy. The transplacental transfer of maternal immunoglobulin G autoantibodies against desmoglein-3 to the fetus can result in neonatal pemphigus vulgaris (NPV). Although NPV is typically transient and benign, resolving without specific treatment or long-term sequelae, its impact on both the pregnancy and the fetus underscores the importance of early recognition. Prompt diagnosis is crucial to differentiate NPV from other blistering conditions, such as infections, epidermolysis bullosa, incontinentia pigmenti, and porphyrias, which require specific interventions. We present a case of a male neonate who developed blisters on the first day of life, which later involved mucosal surfaces, and responded well to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin.

Chronic paronychia is a common condition mainly afflicting middle-aged women. It is usually due to long-standing and repeated irritation and contact with moisture. We observed a male farmer with chronic paronychia. Cow hair was found under the proximal nail fold of the right middle finger. Bacterial culture revealed Mycobacterium elephantis in addition to mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Avulsion of the radial nail strip and phenolisation of the matrix horn led to a rapid and sustained resolution.
Coexistence of nail psoriasis and cutaneous lichen planus in a single patient: An uncommon entity
Authors: Kowsalya V. , Makkar Tavneet Kaur , Grover Chander
Published: November 2024

Psoriasis and lichen planus (LP) are common, routinely encountered autoimmune disorders. However, their coexistence is relatively uncommon. Both diseases have an autoimmune and complex genetic background. There are few case reports on the coexistence of LP and psoriasis vulgaris. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no case reports on the coexistence of nail psoriasis and cutaneous LP. Many speculations have been put forward about the pathogenesis of their coexistence in a single patient. However, certain genetic predispositions, T-cell-mediated autoimmunity, and true Koebner phenomenon play a significant role in disease development. We present the details of a patient with isolated nail psoriasis who subsequently developed cutaneous and oral LP. Awareness of such a possibility can help avoid misdiagnosis in clinical practice.

Published: November 2024

Background:

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare benign tumor that may also exhibit aggressive local behavior. Recurrence of GCTB is common even after complete resection. GCTB typically occurs in long bones, and only 2.7% are found in the spine. Here, a 28-year-old female with a magnetic resonance (MR)-documented L5 lumbar spine GCTB presented with a cauda equina syndrome effectively managed with a decompressive laminectomy/L4–S1 fusion.

Case Description:

A 28-year-old female presented with a 1-year history of lower extremity pain/paresthesia that had exacerbated over the previous 1 month. When the MR imaging revealed cauda equina compression due to a L5 hypodense lesion, the patient successfully underwent a decompressive laminectomy/L4–S1 fusion. The histopathology examination confirmed the presence of a GCTB.

Conclusion:

While gross total excision for GCTB is the treatment of choice, for those undergoing only subtotal/partial resections, additional adjuvant therapy may be warranted. Notably, even despite extensive resections, these lesions have a high rate of recurrence.
Which is better in the management of chronic subdural hematoma: Irrigation, or no irrigation? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background:

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a prevalent neurological disorder, especially among the elderly, where blood accumulates between the brain and its outer covering. The primary treatment for CSDH involves surgical intervention, such as burr-hole craniotomy, with or without irrigation of the subdural space. The efficacy of irrigation versus no irrigation in reducing recurrence, mortality, and postoperative complications remains debated. The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of irrigation versus no irrigation in the surgical management of CSDH through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods:

A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, targeting RCTs published in English comparing irrigation with no irrigation in CSDH management. Four RCTs with a total of 843 patients met the inclusion criteria. Two reviewers extracted data independently, and the risk of bias 2 tool was used for quality assessment. The primary outcome was recurrence; secondary outcomes included mortality and postoperative complications. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3.

Results:

The meta-analysis included four RCTs with 843 patients, revealing that irrigation significantly reduces the recurrence of CSDH compared to no irrigation (odds ratios [OR] = 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44–0.98, P = 0.04), with no observed heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). Mortality rates showed no significant difference between the irrigation and no irrigation groups (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.59–2.06, P = 0.77), also with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). Postoperative complications initially showed no significant difference (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.09–1.69, P = 0.21) and moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 52%). However, sensitivity analysis resolving the heterogeneity indicated a significant reduction in complications favoring the irrigation group (P = 0.03).

Conclusion:

This meta-analysis suggests that irrigation during burr-hole drainage significantly reduces CSDH recurrence without increasing mortality or postoperative complications, supporting its use in clinical practice. Further, high-quality RCTs are necessary to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.
Isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles: A rare entity with a high propensity for causing neurological complications

Published: November 2024

Background:

Isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles are extremely rare and potentially associated with visual disturbances, cranial nerve (CN) deficits, or pituitary dysfunction. Their initial symptoms are often absent or nonspecific, and routine examination offers little information, resulting in diagnostic and therapeutic delays. A high index of suspicion and a thorough understanding of their clinical presentation, neuroradiological features, microbiological implications, and complication profile are crucial for early diagnosis and prompt management. We, herein, analyze a series of consecutive cases of isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles whom we treated, add to the currently existing published cases, and review the pertinent literature.

Methods:

From the databases of endoscopic endonasal skull base and rhinological surgical procedures maintained by our groups, all cases with isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles were retrieved and included in the study. Clinical and radiological findings, histopathologic evidence of fungal rhinosinusitis, culture results, clinicopathological designation, treatment details, and outcome of CN neuropathies were analyzed.

Results:

Headache was the most common symptom (seven cases). Oculomotor (three cases) and abducens (two cases) nerve palsies were encountered in five out of eight patients. Visual loss was seen in two cases. Hypopituitarism was seen in one case. All patients underwent endoscopic endonasal wide bilateral sphenoidectomy. CN palsies improved in four out of five cases.

Conclusion:

Endoscopic endonasal wide sphenoidectomy is the surgical treatment of choice and should be performed in a timely manner to prevent permanent sequelae. Histopathological and microbiological examination findings should both be obtained as they dictate the next steps of therapeutic intervention.
