Types and characteristics of ideational metaphors in Korean: Based on the theory of grammatical metaphor in systemic functional linguistics
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Han Jeonghan , Yoon Hyegyeong , Cha Myunghee
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this article is to identify the types of ideational metaphors in Korean and their characteristics.
Methods The research method of this paper is the ideational metaphor theory of systemic functional linguistics, and the research object is the ideational metaphor expressions in Korean. Ideational metaphors are further subcategorized into empirical metaphors and logical metaphors. Empirical metaphors, also known as Transitivity system metaphors, are realized by the transition of semantic elements within a clause from congruent to incongruent (metaphorical type), whereas logical metaphors are realized by the transition alike between clause complex and Transitivity systems of other clauses.
Results We found that there are 10 different types of ideational metaphors in Korean. They are as follows ‘process’ → ‘thing (noun)’ (<1.>), ‘process’ → ‘other process (verb)’ (<2.>), ‘circumstance’ → ‘thing(noun)’ (<3.>), ‘circumstance’ → ‘circumstance(multiword expressions)’ (<4.>), ‘figure’ → ‘figure(other clause)’ (<5. >), ‘relators’→‘thing (noun phrase)’ (<6.>), ‘relatiors’→‘process(verb)’ (<7.>), ‘relators’→‘circumstance(adverb or multi-word expressions)’ (<8.>), ‘relators’→‘relators(other clause complex)’ (<9.>), and ‘empty form(∅)’→‘thing(noun)’ (<10.>). In the process, we put forward two criteria for identifying ideational metaphors: the “two-level condition” and the “metaphoric form reorganization condition”.
Conclusions The ten types of ideational metaphorical expressions identified in this paper indicate that there are various lexico-grammatical expressions with the same meaning in Korean. It is expected that these ideational metaphor expressions can be utilized in various ways in the field of Korean language education if they are organized into levels using rankshift or transitive types in discourse semantic elements.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Hong Mi Hyun , Kim Myong Hwa
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study is to qualitatively explore what middle-aged men find important, deeply understand their experiences of facing retirement, and derive insights into the priorities and values that should be emphasized in life during this transition.
Methods To this end, two middle-aged men participated in the study. Two interviews were conducted with each participant, and the collected data were analyzed using the narrative inquiry method of Clandinin and Connelly. As a narrative inquirer, the researchers engaged in narrative thinking, reflecting both the participants’ lives and their own. The study sought to understand individual experiences by living, telling, retelling, and reliving stories within the three-dimensional narrative inquiry space of time, place, and sociality.
Results The study of the participants' experiences as they approached retirement revealed several key findings: First, participants either faced involuntary retirement or were being encouraged to retire, but wanted to postpone it for as long as they could. Second, they encountered feelings of regret, bitterness, and disappointment as retirement neared. Third, despite the various emotional changes, participants were shown to be naturally adapting to the changing roles within their families. Fourth, reflecting on the past, they expressed both gratitude and regret, attempting to make up for it by treating their wives better. Lastly, they were looking forward to traveling with their wives after retirement.
Conclusions This study was conducted to identify what is needed to live a meaningful and happy life after retirement. As post-retirement life has lengthened, economic stability has become more important, and so has the marital relationship, as couples will spend their later years together. Therefore, systematic retirement planning and early interventions, such as group counseling to enhance marital relationships or making personal efforts, are essential.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Baeg Mee-yeol , Kim Sun Ran
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study aims to confirm the partial mediating effect of grit in the relationship between the passion for teaching and the influence of grit on teaching creativity and the passion for teaching and teaching creativity of infant teachers.
Methods The subject of this study was to analyze the data collected after distributing questionnaires on passion for teaching, teaching creativity, and grit to 209 infant teachers working at kindergartens and daycare centers located in S and H cities in Gyeonggi-do, and A and D cities in Chungcheong-do. The collected data were analyzed through frequency and percentage, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and mediated regression analysis.
Results First, it was found that there was a significant positive correlation between the passion for teaching, grit, and teaching creativity of infant teachers. It was found that the passion for teaching of infant teachers had a significant positive influence on grit and teaching creativity, and grit was found to have a significant positive influence on teaching creativity. Second, it was found that the grit of infant teachers had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between the passion for teaching and teaching creativity.
Conclusions This study considers grit, which can have a clear goal based on the beliefs and values of infant teachers in the teaching profession, as a major variable, and suggests the need to develop various support and teacher education programs to promote infant teachers' teaching creativity and passion for teaching.
Using Latent Profiles to Classify Acculturative Stress, Social Class, Career Supportive Behaviours in Mothers of Multicultural Families and Validate Differences in Career Barriers Perceived by Children of Multicultural Family
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Changhyeon , Choi Na-Yeun
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify how multicultural family mothers' socioeconomic status, acculturation stress, and levels of career support behavior for their children can be categorized into latent profiles. By analyzing the sub-factors influencing these latent profiles, the study aims to comprehensively understand the career barrier issues experienced by multicultural family mothers and adolescents and propose practical and policy-oriented alternatives.
Methods To achieve this, data from the ninth wave (2021) of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) were used. A total of 1,001 pairs of multicultural mothers and their children were analyzed using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). LPA is a useful method for categorizing participants into subgroups based on shared characteristics. In this study, the variables included mothers' socioeconomic status, acculturation stress, and the level of career support behavior for their children. The analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.3, assessing the characteristics of each latent profile and the main factors influencing them. Furthermore, differences in the level of career barriers among adolescents belonging to each latent profile were analyzed using BCH difference testing.
Results The analysis identified six latent profiles based on mothers' socioeconomic status, acculturation stress, and levels of career support behavior. These profiles ranged from groups with high social resources to those with low resources, groups experiencing significant difficulties with acculturation, and groups with active career support behaviors. Additionally, there were significant differences in the level of career barriers among adolescents belonging to each profile. Notably, children of mothers with low social resources and high acculturation stress tended to exhibit higher levels of career barriers.
Conclusions Multicultural family mothers can be divided into several subgroups, and understanding their characteristics is essential. It is important to move beyond the stereotype that multicultural family mothers experience high acculturation stress or are insufficient in supporting their children’s career development. Instead, the diversity within these groups should be understood from a multicultural perspective, and support strategies should be explored accordingly. These findings provide significant implications for developing tailored policies and practical alternatives that address the unique characteristics of multicultural families.
A Qualitative Study on 20th Year College Students’ Adaptation to School Life in the Endemic Phase of COVID-19
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Sungil
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study looked at the adaptation to school life of 20th year college students in the endemic phase of COVID-19. Through this, the meaning of these records was clarified in terms of education and ethics.
Methods For this purpose, 20 respondents were sampled by convenience sampling and snowball sampling at K university, and then the academic adaptation and social adaptation were examined by the focus group interview. With regard to academic adaptation, this study examined how self-directed learning competencies were exercised, focusing on learning planning competencies, learning execution competencies, and learning evaluation competencies. And with regard to social adaptation, this study examined how social communication competencies developed around social competencies, mobilization competencies, and coordination competencies.
Results The liveliness of face-to-face interaction induced learning flow and facilitated active class attitudes and communication among students, but it was not easy to adjust the learning and living time, and group activities and relative evaluation increased the burden of class. The communication with members of the school was made passively by centered on acquaintances. It is inconvenient and awkward for them to go first as the grade goes up. This is the result of the intensification of the freshman experience, and they were more preoccupied with immediate job preparation than communication with members of the school.
Conclusions The record of adaptation to school life of 20th year college students should be set as the public memory of the contemporaries who have endured the disease disaster and it is necessary to use it as a public good of social ethics that will allow society to come forward as a subject to solve the situation. It should be utilized in disaster response in the education field, and it should be sought to improve resilience so that learners can successfully adapt to school life.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Yeri , Ha Moonsun
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study was conducted to verify the effects of a class group counseling program using narrative therapy on elementary school students' peer relationships and learned helplessness.
Methods To this end, a homogeneity test was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test with 9 elementary school students in the experimental group and 10 elementary school students in the control group. In addition, after the program was applied, a pre-post difference test was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results As a result of analyzing the effects of this program on peer relationships, a statistically significant difference was found between the pre- and post-scores in the experimental group, but no significant difference was found in the control group. Next, as a result of analyzing the effects of this program on learned helplessness, a significant difference was found between the pre- and post-scores in the experimental group's overall score and three subfactors (lack of control beliefs, lack of learning motivation, and lack of positive emotions). On the other hand, no significant difference was found in the control group's overall score and all subfactors. In addition, the content analysis conducted also showed that this program was effective in improving children's peer relationships and reducing learned helplessness.
Conclusions This study is significant in that it presents data for elementary school guidance and counseling through the development and application of a classroom group counseling program.

A Study on The Relationship between Childhood and Adolescent Maltreatment Experiences and Depression and Anxiety, Aggression, and Self-Esteem
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Paek Seung A , Choi Won Suk
Published: January 2025

Objectives This study aimed to categorize experiences of abuse in childhood and adolescence and compare and analyze cross-sectionally and longitudinally the differences in depression, anxiety, aggression, and self-esteem in childhood and adolescence. Although recent studies have examined the effects by stage of development (elementary, middle, and high school), this study aimed to suggest early intervention methods to prevent aggression caused by abuse experiences during childhood and adolescence by comparing the effects by stage of development (elementary, middle, and high school). That is, the study was conducted to verify how experiences of abuse, depression and anxiety, and self-esteem during childhood and adolescence affect aggression from elementary school to high school.
Methods For this purpose, we used the data from the Korean Welfare Panel Survey on Children from 2015 to 2021 for 9 years. We analyzed the data of a total of 1,174 students who were enrolled in elementary school in 2015 (10th), middle school in 2018 (13th), and high school in 2021 (16th). The research model was analyzed using the SPSS program and PROCESS macro.
Results Looking at the analysis results, first, to verify research question 1, the mediating effect was confirmed using PROCESS macro model 4. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a mediating effect of depression and anxiety between childhood and adolescence abuse experiences and aggression in all elementary, middle, and high school periods. Second, to verify research question 2, the moderated mediating effect of PROCESS macro model 7 was confirmed. As a result, the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem was confirmed in the relationship between childhood and adolescent abuse experiences and aggression, depression, and anxiety during elementary and high school, but the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem was not confirmed during middle school.
Conclusions Based on previous research, the implications of the results of this study were discussed and an intervention plan to effectively reduce aggression was suggested based on the results.
A Study on Education of Honorific Expression by Principle of Politeness
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Yang Sehui
Published: January 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study is to propose that by introducing the principle of politeness, the content of honorific expression education should be constructed around discourse and consider authentic language use.
Methods First, the relationship between the principle of politeness and honorific expression was discussed, and the possibility of explaining the usage patterns of various honorific expressions was confirmed by the principle of politeness. Therefore, honorific expression is not limited to the way of expressing high and low about age or social status to an object or partner, but is re-conceptualized in a way that expresses respect or courtesy to the other person.
Results Honorific expression is a linguistic expression that belongs to a normative grammatical phenomenon and is selected according to the speaker's intention or psychological distance. It is discussed selective realization of the pre-final ending ‘-si-’, change of mood, and use of vocabulary.
Conclusions Honorific expressions are not only explained by grammatical phenomena, but have an educational effect that can support learners' Korean life when approached in terms of language use in the socio-cultural background of the principle of politeness.
A hadiérettségi vizsga szerepe és jelentősége az első világháborús Magyarországon
Authors: Szabó Róbert Károly
Published: January 2025

Az érettségi vizsga történetének egy különleges időszakát jelenti az első világháború. A sorkatonai szolgálatra alkalmasnak nyilvánított középiskolás tanulók ekkor olyan kedvezményeket nyertek, amelyek pótolni tudták az érettségi bizonyítvány megszerzésének lehetőségét, miközben enyhítették az osztrák-magyar hadsereg égető tiszthiányát. A lányok és a katonai szolgálatra alkalmatlan fiúk továbbra is a háború előtti szabályozás alapján tehettek rendes érettségi vizsgát, míg a besorozott tanulók számára létrehozták a hadiérettségit. Utóbbi csak szóbeli részből állt és lebonyolítása kevésbé volt kötött a rendes érettségi vizsgához képest.
“AINDA QUE ESTEJA MORTO VIVERÁ’’
Authors: Alves Oliveira Junior Bezaliel , Queiroz Araújo Rimilla , Carvalho Veras Rogério
Published: January 2025

A vida e a morte são relacionadas de forma distinta e concebidas de maneira diversa por várias culturas. Cada uma com suas tradições, crenças e rituais carregados de significados e simbolismos. Este trabalho objetiva descrever e analisar um “culto fúnebre” entre evangélicos pentecostais da Igreja Evangélica Assembleia de Deus, em Imperatriz-MA (IEADI), percebendo os significados desse ritual. A pesquisa1 se deu pela incursão em campo, objetivando realizar uma observação direta dos comportamentos e discursos, bem como utilizou-se de entrevistas e conversas informais como métodos. Para isso recorreremos a uma perspectiva interdisciplinar dialogando com a História, a Sociologia e a Antropologia, procurando compreender a religião como sistema cultural. Assim, percebemos que entre os evangélicos assembleianos, o culto fúnebre é o momento para dizer um último adeus àquele que partiu e uma ocasião de reforço às suas cosmovisões, para si e para outros, acerca dos seus destinos póstumos.

Published: January 2025

Esta reflexão problematiza o ritual do feitio do santo daime a partir das discussões suscitadas em torno das relações de gênero e do reconhecimento desta expressão religiosa como patrimônio cultural. O objetivo é compreender o ritual de feitio do santo daime a partir das categorias gênero e patrimônio cultural numa perspectiva complexa dos estudos socioantropológicos. O referencial teórico é composto pela produção dos referidos autores: Edward Macrae (1992); Sandra Goulart (1996); Beatriz Caiuby Labate e Gustavo Pacheco (2005); Theresa Jaynna de Sousa Feijão (2018), Joan Scott (1994); Judith Butler (2010); Cecília Granjeiro Martin (2016); Francisca Verônica Cavalcante (2022), dentre outros. A pesquisa lança mão do método qualitativo e etnográfico, com técnicas de investigação composta de levantamento bibliográfico e pesquisa de campo, ancorado na produção dos autores Bronislaw Malinoswsky (1984) e Clifford Geertz (2015). O estudo aponta, no que se refere à categoria gênero, para a não reprodução de uma visão patriarcal, machista e sexista, mas, a uma cosmovisão holística e de equilíbrio entre feminino e masculino e, no que diz respeito à categoria patrimônio cultural, as expressões e manifestações da religião santo daime foram reconhecidas como patrimônio cultural imaterial de Rio Branco e do Estado do Acre pelo IPHAN, sendo o ritual do feitio bem inventariado na categoria “Ofícios e Modos de fazer”.
Inequalities in household overcrowding in an ethnically diverse urban population: a cross-sectional study using linked health and housing records
Authors: Wilk Marta , Harper Gill , Liverani Silvia , Firman Nicola , Simon Paul , Dezateux Carol
Published: January 2025

IntroductionHousehold overcrowding is an important determinant of health and is associated with adverse child health, educational and social outcomes.
ObjectivesWe aimed to determine whether households with dependent children were more likely to be overcrowded after taking into account household ethnicity and housing tenure in an urban, ethnically diverse, and disadvantaged London population by pseudonymously linking health and property data.
MethodsWe used pseudonymised Unique Property Reference Numbers to link electronic health records to Energy Performance Certificate property data in north-east London and identified 332,473 households comprising 1,093,047 people. Our primary outcomes were overcrowding measures based on a bedroom standard and a space standard (space per person; m2). We examined household level associations of overcrowding with presence of children in the household before and after adjusting for household ethnicity and tenure. We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the adjusted odds (aOR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) of bedroom standard overcrowding and linear regression to estimate effects (95% CI) on space per person.
ResultsOverall, 42.8% (142,401/332,473) of households included children, 54.5% were of White household ethnicity, and 58.4% in private or social rented accommodation. 22.5% (32,075/142,401) and 45.9% (65,388/142,401) of households with children were overcrowded by the bedroom and space standards respectively compared with 4.7% (8,953/190,072) and 9.6% (18,229/190,072) without children. After adjusting for household ethnicity and housing tenure, households with children were more likely to be overcrowded (aOR [95% CI] 5.54 [5.40-5.68] and had 22.61m2 (95%CI: -22.75,-22.46) less space per person than those without children.
ConclusionsUp-to-date estimates of household overcrowding measured by bedroom and space standards can be derived from linked housing and health records. Our findings highlight the inequalities in overcrowding experienced by households with children and enable future work using linked data to evaluate impacts of overcrowding on children's health.
PREVALÊNCIA DE ASC-US EM EXAMES CITOPATOLÓGICOS DO COLO UTERINO EM UM MUNICÍPIO DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Authors: Baldessarini Thauana , Dutra Luciana Maciel , Fontana Rosane Teresinha
Published: January 2025

ASC-US corresponde a atipia de células escamosas que possuem significado indeterminado, ou seja, são células escamosas com anormalidades que não preenchem critérios de condições inflamatórias, pré-neoplásicas ou neoplásicas, além disso podem ser detectadas pelo exame citopatológico do colo uterino. Nesse contexto, trata-se de um estudo exploratório, transversal e documental, com o objetivo geral de investigar a prevalência de resultados diagnósticos do tipo ASC-US, e como objetivo específico identificar a frequência de alterações do tipo ASC-US na faixa etária abaixo dos 25 anos, a partir da citologia cervical. A coleta de dados foi feita em registros de 2022 a 2023, das unidades básicas de saúde de um município situado ao noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no primeiro semestre de 2024. Identificou-se prevalência de 7.125 resultados positivos de ASC-US, com 20% de diagnósticos abaixo de 25 anos. Quanto às condutas dos enfermeiros, o estudo apontou algumas lacunas no encaminhamento e rastreamento dos casos. Entende-se que os profissionais da saúde devem estar atentos à incidência de câncer na população feminina demonstrada na literatura e ações que maximizam o quantitativo de enfermeiros para ações preventivas nesta área devem ser consideradas por gestores da atenção primária à saúde.
Features of Parental Attitudes in Families of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Bakayeva I. A. , Kobylyatskaya E. S.
Published: January 2025

Introduction. The modern world is characterized by global changes in technology, social structure, the mental sphere of children and features of their behavior are also subject to change. There is a change in the fine tuning of mental cognitive processes. The number of children and adolescents with signs of attention deficit and hyperactivity has increased. The development of children with peculiarities is directly related to parental upbringing and relationships in the family. In preschool age parental relations become a determining factor for building the child’s relations in the future, they determine the success of his social life. The study considered the peculiarities of parents’ attitudes towards a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attitudes towards family life.

Objective. To analyze the specificity of relationships in families with ADHD children and aspects of child development with disabilities.

Materials and Methods. Identification of preschoolers with ADHD was carried out through the study of anamnestic data, neurological diagnoses and expert evaluations. The following psychodiagnostic tools were used during the study: Toulouse-Pieron test; Unified questionnaire for parents and teachers by A. B. Filippova; PARI technique (E. S. Schaefer, R. K. Bell adapted by T. V. Nescheret); Projective technique “Family Drawing”.

Results. The study involved 66 families raising children with ADHD and children without neurological diagnoses, aged 6–7 years. In families of children with ADHD compared to families raising children with normal development, there are differences in the categories of “custody” and “parental dominance”, the role of the mother “on top” prevails. There is a specificity in attitudes to the family role, father’s indifference and tendency to conflicts are common. The revealed tendencies can become an independent reason for secondary neurotization of both the mother of a child with disabilities and the child himself.

Discussion. The results of the study can become the basis for psychological help to both children with disabilities and their parents. They can be applied in diagnosing dysfunctional families and taken into account when diagnosing children with symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder due to the fact that the results of improper upbringing can cause symptoms of a child’s behavior disorder.

Исследование особенностей глубоководного приема импульсных широкополосных сигналов при излучении из протяженного шельфа в Японском море
Authors: Моргунов Юрий , Буренин Александр , Голов Александр
Published: January 2025

В статье обсуждаются теоретические и экспериментальные результаты исследований распространения импульсных псевдослучайных сигналов в Японском море на акустической трассе протяженностью 144,4 км при воздействии последствий тайфуна на гидрологические условия. Исследован случай распространения сигналов с центральной частотой 400 Гц из протяженного шельфа в глубокое море при осуществлении приема на глубинах 69, 126, 680 и 914 метров. Для приема сигналов была использована дрейфующая система с распределенными по глубине до 1000 метров гидрофонами с возможностью длительной регистрации на фиксированных глубинах. Анализ экспериментально полученных импульсных характеристик показал, что на всех горизонтах с одинаковым временем, фиксируется группа лучевых приходов длительностью около 0.5с с максимальным в центре. По результатам эксперимента были рассчитаны эффективные скорости распространения сигналов, принятых на различных глубинах, и сформулированы выводы о возможности решения задач высокоточного позиционирования подводных объектов (ПО) различного назначения на глубинах до 1000 метров и удалении на сотни километров от постов управления.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the sonographic effects of alfaxalone and butorphanol alone and in combination on feline splenic size, shape, margins, echogenicity, echotexture, and blood flow. Our hypothesis was that alfaxalone alone and in combination would be associated with an increase in splenic size and blood flow and a nonhomogenous echotexture.

METHODS

This was a randomized, prospective crossover study. 8 healthy adult cats were all injected IM with each of the following protocols in a randomized fashion, with a minimum of 7 days of washout between each protocol—alfaxalone 2 mg/kg, butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg, and the 2 in combination. Splenic ultrasounds were performed before drug administration, then every 15 minutes for 1 hour subsequently. Ultrasound images were interpreted by 2 board-certified radiologists. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and feline multiparametric sedation scores (FMSS) were also recorded. Splenic appearance, heart rate, respiratory rate, and FMSS were compared to baseline.

RESULTS

There were no significant changes detected in splenic margins, shape, echogenicity, echotexture, or blood flow compared to baseline for any of the protocols. An increase in splenic size occurred for all protocols, with no significant difference between them. Both protocols containing alfaxalone caused a significant increase in FMSS; butorphanol alone did not.

CONCLUSIONS

Alfaxalone did not affect splenic margins, echotexture, echogenicity, or blood flow; however, a mild and transient increase in splenic size was noted.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Alfaxalone in combination with butorphanol provided the best sedation and can be used in the sedation of healthy cats for splenic ultrasound without significant changes to splenic appearance. Splenomegaly may occur but is unlikely to be of clinical significance.

Aim

Cisplatin is known to induce oxidative stress and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are the primary causes of its undesirable side effects. Lipids are a major target of ROS undergoing oxidation upon interaction. Lipid peroxidation products are unstable and degrade into reactive compounds that can damage various biomolecules. Induction of oxidative stress and ROS formation is considered another mechanism of action of cisplatin. This article aims to investigate the effect of cisplatin on lipid peroxidation and the activity of the antioxidant enzyme catalase in whole blood and plasma.

Materials and Methods

The amount of lipid peroxidation products in blood and plasma of rats was determined by absorption of monochromatic ultraviolet light following extraction with a heptane–isopropyl alcohol mixture. The oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood and plasma was quantified using the thiobarbituric acid assay. Catalase activity in blood plasma of female rats was assessed using the ammonium molybdate method.

Results

The data show that cisplatin induces significant changes in the levels of lipid peroxidation products, including conjugated dienes and trienes, in both whole blood and plasma of female rats. The oxidation index values calculated for lipid peroxidation products increased to varying degrees following cisplatin exposure. A dramatic increase in MDA concentration was observed in both whole blood and plasma of rats after exposure to cisplatin. In addition, cisplatin exposure resulted in a 55% reduction in catalase activity.

Conclusions

The results demonstrate that cisplatin promotes oxidative stress, increases lipid peroxidation level, and reduces catalase activity in blood. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms by which cisplatin may exert its anticancer effects while also contributing to its side effects.

Published: January 2025

Plagiarism poses a significant challenge to academic integrity, and the advent of digital technologies has prompted the widespread adoption of plagiarism detection tools. This cross-cultural study investigates teachers’ perspectives on the use of plagiarism-detection tools for sustainable education in the contexts of the Czech Republic and Turkey. This research explores how educators in these distinct cultural and educational settings perceive the role of such tools in promoting sustainable education. By examining cross-cultural variations, the research aims to identify commonalities and differences in attitudes toward plagiarism detection and its impact on fostering a sustainable educational environment. Twenty preschool teachers from Turkey and twenty five preschool teachers from the Czech Republic participated in this study. They were required to respond to open-ended questions related to the use of plagiarism detection tools for sustainable education. The study employs a qualitative approach to gather comprehensive insights into teachers’ views on plagiarism detection. Participants from both countries share their experiences, concerns, and opinions on the effectiveness and ethical implications of utilizing these tools. As a last remark, some recommendations were made to policymakers, scientists, researchers, and teachers both in the Czech Republic and Turkey.

Published: January 2025

Objective: Identify the protocols used in normobaric hypoxia and the main symptoms in that context.
 
Theoretical Framework: Hypoxia, particularly hypoxic hypoxia, is a critical challenge in aviation, caused by reduced atmospheric pressure at high altitudes. Controlled hypoxia training allows aviators to recognize symptoms, assess the time of useful consciousness, and practice emergency responses. This study synthesizes key parameters in normobaric hypoxia training, addressing gaps in oxygen concentrations, exposure times, and symptom monitoring.
 
Method: Systematic electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE and Embase databases. Inclusion criteria required original studies involving aircraft crews, descriptions of gas mixtures used for altitude simulation, and details of simulated altitudes during training.
 
Results and Discussion: From 295 identified articles, eight met the inclusion criteria. Sample sizes ranged from 8 to 89 participants, predominantly male. Protocols varied widely, with O₂ concentrations of 6%, 7%, and 8% frequently used to simulate altitudes of 25,919 feet (7,900 m) to 20,341 feet (6,200 m). Considerable heterogeneity was found in protocols for the same simulated altitude, likely due to differences in equipment calibration. Continuous exposure periods of three to five minutes were common, and diverse hypoxia symptoms were reported, emphasizing the importance of symptom recognition for operational safety.
 
Research Implications: This study offers practical insights for standardizing hypoxia training protocols, enhancing safety procedures, and developing guidelines for normobaric environments.
 
Originality/Value: By synthesizing hypoxia training parameters, this research highlights the need for protocol standardization to ensure aviator safety and operational efficiency.

Authors: Lélis José María Rodríguez , Pérez Oscar Domínguez
Published: January 2025

Objective: To show the analysis of mechanical constitutive models in blood vessel tissues with a continuous media approach based on strain energy, which serve as a reference for new mathematical modeling proposals in them.
 
Theoretical Framework: The mechanics of blood vessels, describes the structural and functional behavior of blood vessels and can characterize various cardiovascular diseases. Harmful changes that alter the mechanical response of the walls of blood vessels produce severe alterations in the health of the circulatory system. Predicting the mechanical behavior of blood vessels based on physiological status using biomechanical models is paramount for diagnosis. Therefore, in the present work, an analysis of the constitutive models is carried out with a continuous media approach based on strain energy.
 
Method: Bibliographic review that identifies, analyzes and synthesizes the existing scientific proposals on blood vessel tissue modeling based on the deformation energy theory.
 
Results and Discussion: A bibliographic study of the biomechanical constitutive models of blood vessel walls, generated over time, is presented. The behavior of the vascular wall is analyzed from the deformation energy approach. The benefits, limitations and potentialities of the models are also exposed: a) Strain energy with a transversely isotropic and homogeneous matrix; b) Strain energy with axis-symmetric fiber constants; c) Strain energy with collagen fibers subject to dispersion; d) Strain energy of four families of fibers without dispersion; and e) Strain energy of two families of fibers with anisotropic elastin and fiber recruitment.
 
Implications of the research: The conclusions and analyzes presented serve as a basis for future research and mathematical modeling of the phenomenon of degradation and deformation of blood vessels, which will facilitate the understanding of the phenomenon and the subsequent strengthening of alternative treatment strategies that combat the clinical conditions derived from the transformations of mechanical properties in the same blood vessels.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes by giving order to the multiple bibliographic information related to the subject. The relevance of this research is evidenced in the conclusions issued when analyzing models based on the theory of continuous media as a function of strain energy.
