The role of religious factor in the formation of traditionalist ideologies opposing violent modernization
Authors: Lutsenko A. V.
Published: September 2020

To establish a scientific assessment of the religious factor in the historical formation of antimodernist movements is essential to determine their sociocultural nature. For clarity, all the arguments offered by the author are backed by a brief analysis of specific historical events, in which the religious factor played a pivotal role in forming a new traditionalist ideology. The author focuses on criticism of the simplified positivist approach to the role of the religious factor in the development and formation of antimodernist movements. Such an approach to a certain extent ignores the complexity of the phenomenon under study. By using concrete historical material on the example of the role of religion in the Vendee uprising, the Kristeros movement in Mexico and the formation of the phalangist ideology during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), a more objective approach to the problem under study is proposed. Based on the results of modern historical and religious studies, the author points out that the assumption of a special level of religious fanaticism and mystical exaltation, allegedly characteristic of traditional agrarian societies in the crucial era of the transition to the industrial era, is unjustified. The facts and the comparative analysis conducted suggest that the religious element within antimodernist movements is launched when it is necessary to contrast the ideology of modernization with the traditionalist ideology, which is equally modern in itself. Religion becomes the basis of ideology, simultaneously changing in many respects its former sociocultural significance. In fact, in all cases under consideration, the religious factor turns into ideological, which in itself is a sign of gradual modernization, even of that part of the society which defends conservative values.
Name-strategies and antropoiesis discourse in the history of philosophy
Authors: Selivanova S. G.
Published: September 2020

Onomapoiesis strategies actualize the distinctive sphere of human practice, which is a direct continuation of autopoiesis and anthropoiesis. They atomize and ontologize the Self by restricting it to definite structure-morphologic clusters of language expressions, such as personal name and pronoun. As a result, we have two completely different tactics: naming tactics and pronoun tactics, or ego-strategies. These practices refer to diverse complexes and can’t be considered within one species, each of them constitutes the autonomous entity. Any self-naming, self-calling, and indication through the name or pronoun, correlates with the innate eager and desire of a person to express himself, the world, and other(s). Thus, the anthropology of naming turns out to be the part of philosophical discourse, implicitly passing through the entire history of thought. Primarily, the philosophy of Stoics belongs to this kind of boundary marks, within the framework of which the distinction between the name and the pronoun was made for the first time. Plus, the discovery of deixis belongs to them. In the context of the modern era of philosophy, the doctrine of Rene Descartes is a kind of counterpoint when the Self, the Ego, first reveals itself to consciousness. Further, there is a fission inside the indicated complexes: I and not-I, My and not-My, I and You, We and They, I and the Other, I and Others manifest themselves inside the pronoun practices of naming. Their contents and meanings become the subject of philosophy and linguistic, as well as interdisciplinary studies. There are two conceptually framed strategies within one complex, which illustrates the praxeological character of the study: the Heideggerian Dasein and the polyphonic Ego presented by Bakhtin M.M. The first one unfolds as a monologue and first-person speech; the latter in turn, as a dialog, which expresses the subject’s being as a complicity in the polyphony of voices of the Other(s).
Анализ возможностей технологий беспроводного широкополосного доступа для обеспечения безопасности мореплавания в заливе Петра Великого

Published: September 2020

Система управления движением судов (СУДС) – сложный комплекс стационарных технических сооружений береговых служб, образующий единую систему безопасности мореплавания,
обеспечивая сбор и обработку информации о навигационной обстановке с целью осуществления оперативного контроля за движением судов в границах зоны ответственности. Важная составляющая
СУДС залива Петра Великого – сеть связи и передачи данных (ССПД), которая обеспечивает своевременную доставку информации о навигационной обстановке с радиотехнических постов на центры
управления СУДС. Анализ взаимодействия радиоволн с морской поверхностью показывает, что радиосигнал отражается от водной поверхности, в результате на приёмной стороне из-за интерференции прямых и отраженных лучей наблюдаются межсимвольная интерференция и замирания, которые
существенно снижают качество каналов связи. Поэтому для того чтобы сеть передачи данных оставалась эффективной с перспективой для последующего развития морской отрасли, необходим поиск
новых технологических решений, которые бы обеспечили надежную компенсацию многолучевости.
В настоящей статье рассматривается применение в ССПД СУДС технологии беспроводного широкополосного доступа на базе оборудования компании InfiNet, которое позволяет найти оптимальный
баланс между пропускной способностью, помехозащищенностью и дальностью покрытия сети.
Ключевые слова: технологии беспроводного широкополосного доступа, безопасность мореплавания,

The vessel traffic service (VTS) is a complex set of stationary technical facilities of the coastal
services, which together form a unified maritime safety system, which provides for the collection and processing of information on the navigational situation in order to carry out operational control over the movement of ships within the boundaries of the area of responsibility. An important component of the VTS of Peter the Great Gulf is the communication and data transmission network (CDTN), which provides information
on the navigation situation from radio-technical posts to the control centers of the VTS. At the same time,
analysis of interaction of radio waves with the sea surface shows that the radio signal is reflected from the
water surface, as a result of which, due to interference from direct and reflected rays, intersymbol interference and fading effects are observed. Therefore, in order for the data transmission network to remain effective and secure its prospects for the subsequent development of the marine industry in accordance with the
requirements of the time, a modern solution is needed. This article discusses the use of wireless broadband
access technology in CDTN VTS using equipment based on InfiNet proprietary technology, which made it
possible to find the optimal balance between throughput and network coverage range.
Keywords: wireless broadband technology, maritime safety, InfiNet, radiorelay link.

Das Druckmanuskript der Sammlung Seeland erlaubt einen genauen Blick auf Robert Walsers schriftstellerische Arbeitsweise und illustriert den hohen Anspruch, mit dem er die Auswahl der bereits in verschiedenen Zeitschriften veröffentlichten Texte für die Buchausgabe um- und neu geschrieben hat. «Die sechs Stücke werden im Druck gut aussehen», schrieb er in einem Brief an den Journalisten und Schriftsteller Emil Wiedmer.
Der intensive Arbeitsprozess lässt sich an einer relativ grossen Anzahl von Bearbeitungsspuren, die sich auf den Blättern des Seeland-Manuskripts finden, gut ablesen. Die überlieferten Romanmanuskripte, die Reinschriften der Kurzprosa oder die Mikrogramme weisen nicht dasselbe Ausmass solcher Korrekturen von Walsers Hand auf. Das Seeland-Manuskript gewährt daher einen bislang noch wenig bekannten Einblick in Walsers poetische Werkstatt.

A Two-Dimensional Metallacycle Cross-Linked Switchable Polymer for Fast and Highly Efficient Phosphorylated Peptide Enrichment
Authors: Chen Li-Jun , zhu jun-long , Zhu Fan-Fan , Wang Xu-Qing , Wen Jin , Yang Hai-Bo , Gale Philip
Published: September 2020

The selective and efficient capture of phosphopeptides is critical for comprehensive and in-depth phosphoproteome analysis. However, this remains a significant challenge due to the inherently low abundance of these species in complex bio-samples. In this paper, we report a switchable two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular polymer that can serve as an ideal platform for the enrichment of phosphopeptides. A positively charged metallacycle incorporated into the polymer endows the material with a high affinity for phosphopeptides. Importantly, the stimuli-responsive nature of the polymer facilitates switchable binding affinity of phosphopeptides, resulting in its excellent performance in phosphopeptide enrichment and separation from model proteins. The polymer has a high enrichment capacity (165 mg/g) and detection sensitivity (2 fmol), high enrichment recovery (88%), excellent specificity, and rapid enrichment and separation properties. Additionally, we have demonstrated the capture of phosphopeptides from the tryptic digest of real bio-samples illustrating the potential of this polymeric material in phosphoproteomic studies.
Reactions of Ruthenium Cyclopentadienyl Praecursor in the Metal Precursor Pulse of Ru Atomic Layer Deposition
Authors: Liu Ji , lu hongliang , zhang david wei , Nolan Michael
Published: September 2020

Ruthenium is a promising material in the semiconductor industry and is investigated as the interconnect metal or as a seed layer for Cu interconnects. Non-oxidative reactants are required in a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) process for metals to avoid oxygen contamination. The PE-ALD of Ru has been explored experimentally, but the growth mechanism is not clear. In this paper, the reaction mechanism of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp, C5H5) precursor RuCp2 and NHx-terminated Ru surfaces that result from the plasma cycle is studied in detail by first-principle calculations. The Cp ligands are eliminated by hydrogen transfer and desorb from metal surface as CpH. The results show that on the NHx-terminated Ru surface at typical ALD operating condition (temperature range 550K to 650K), the first hydrogen transfer is the rate-limiting step and has high barriers, which are -1.51eV for Ru(001) and 2.01eV for Ru(100). Assuming that the initial activation barrier for the first hydrogen transfer can be overcome, the two Cp ligands will be completely eliminated completely on Ru(100) surface during the metal precursor pulse, resulting in Ru atoms on the surface, binding to N atom. But at most only one Cp ligand is eliminated on Ru(001) surface, resulting in an RuCp termination on (001) surface. Investigating the precursor coverage, the final surface coverages of final terminations after the metal precursor pulse are 0.85 RuCp/nm2 on the NHx-terminated Ru(001) surface and 2.02 Ru/nm2 on the NHx-terminated Ru(100) surface. However, if the first H transfer barrier cannot be overcome, leaving RuCp2 on NHx-terminated Ru surfaces, the maximum coverages of RuCp2 on Ru(001) and Ru(100) surfaces are 2.54 RuCp2/nm2 and 2.02 RuCp2/nm2. These structures are vital to model the following N-plasma step.

Hyperpolarization-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can be used to study biomolecular processes in the body, but typically requires nuclei such as 13C, 15N, or 129Xe due to their long spin‑polarization lifetimes and the absence of a proton‑background signal from water and fat in the images. Here we present a novel type of 1H imaging, in which hyperpolarized spin order is locked in a nonmagnetic long-lived correlated (singlet) state, and is only liberated for imaging by a specific biochemical reaction. In this work we produce hyperpolarized fumarate via chemical reaction of a precursor molecule with para-enriched hydrogen gas, and the proton singlet order in fumarate is released as antiphase NMR signals by enzymatic conversion to malate in D2O. Using this model system we show two pulse sequences to rephase the NMR signals for imaging and suppress the background signals from water. The hyperpolarization-enhanced 1H‑imaging modality presented here can allow for hyperpolarized imaging without the need for low‑abundance, low‑sensitivity heteronuclei.

Published: September 2020

MIV molecular oxo-clusters of the f- and d-block (M=Zr, Hf, Ce, Th, U, Np, Pu) have been prolific in bottoms-up material design, catalysis, as well as understanding metal oxide assembly, dissolution and surface reactivity in nature and in synthesis. Here we introduce Ce70, a new CeIV wheel-shaped oxo-cluster, [CeIV(OH)36(O)64(SO4)60(H2O)10]4-, isostructural with prior-reported U70. Like U70, Ce70 crystallizes into intricate frameworks with divalent transition metal counter-cations (TMII), and also CeIV-monomer and sulfate addenda ions.

Published: September 2020

While several metal phosphides have attracted significant attention in the last several years due to their potential use as photocatalytic and hydrotreating catalysts, iridium phosphide has remained largely unexplored. In this work, silica-supported pincer-iridium species are thermolyzed, resulting in deconstruction of the tridentate ligand precursor and formation of a sub-nanometer iridium phosphide phase characterized by 31P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-MAS-NMR), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The support material was found to play an active role in determining the product of the surface thermolysis, with the silica supported material generating phosphorus rich iridium phosphide nanoparticles. The resulting silica-supported iridium phosphide phase is explored as a thermocatalyst for non-oxidative butane dehydrogenation, achieving high initial reaction rates up to 900 molbutenes molcatalyst-1 hr-1 and a terminal olefin selectivity of up to 70 %.

Published: September 2020

Tuberculosis causes most number of deaths due to infections worldwide. Around 9.0 million new cases and 1.5 million deaths registered worldwide of which 360,000 were HIV positive. One fourth of the global TB encumbrance occurs in India, making it the most important public health problem facing this country. It is estimated that out of 9.0 million cases worldwide, 2.3 million cases were reported in India. TB control program of India is on track as far as reduction in the disease burden. There is 42% lessening in humanity since 1990 and 51% lessening in TB pervasiveness as associated to 1990. Further, TB pervasiveness has concentrated from 40 lakhs to 28 lakhs annually from 1990. A total of 9,28,190 smear positive TB cases were diagnosed and 14,10,880 were registered for treatment under RNTCP. It has become a major barrier to our socioeconomic development. Tuberculosis (TB) still remains as the most common communicable disease. It is estimated that 21% of the global TB burden occurs in India. Two in every five Indians are infected with tuberculosis and two persons die every minute because of tuberculosis in India. This study focuses to study the clinico-radiological profile of treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients and to evaluate the risk factors that can influence the treatment outcome in a tertiary care hospital and to evaluate the type of limitation in lung function by spirometry in treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Decompositional approach for evaluation of internal conflict in the framework of the evidence theory
Authors: Lepskiy Alexander Evgenyevich
Published: September 2020

The concept of conflict is one of the central in the belief functions theory. There are differences between external and internal conflicts. A new method for estimating the internal conflict is proposed and studied in this paper. This method assumes that the original body of evidence was derived from simpler evidence using some combining rule. Therefore, an internal conflict can be considered as an external conflict of decomposition of the original body of evidence. This approach is specified in the article for decomposition by the Dempster rule and decomposition by the disjunctive consensus rule. The possible limits of change of the internal conflict are found in the case of these two combining rules for single-focal (categorical) and two-focal bodies of evidence. The decomposition method is discussed in detail for the case of a universal set with two alternatives.
Stoichiometry of Rtt109 complexes with Vps75 and histones H3-H4
Authors: Akhavantabib Noushin , Krzizike Daniel D , Neumann Victoria , D’Arcy Sheena
Published: September 2020

Histone acetylation is one of many posttranslational modifications that affect nucleosome accessibility. Vps75 is a histone chaperone that stimulates Rtt109 acetyltransferase activity toward histones H3-H4 in yeast. In this study, we use sedimentation velocity and light scattering to characterize various Vps75–Rtt109 complexes, both with and without H3-H4. These complexes were previously ill-defined because of protein multivalency and oligomerization. We determine both relative and absolute stoichiometry and define the most pertinent and homogeneous complexes. We show that the Vps75 dimer contains two unequal binding sites for Rtt109, with the weaker binding site being dispensable for H3-H4 acetylation. We further show that the Vps75–Rtt109–(H3-H4) complex is in equilibrium between a 2:1:1 species and a 4:2:2 species. Using a dimerization mutant of H3, we show that this equilibrium is mediated by the four-helix bundle between the two copies of H3. We optimize the purity, yield, and homogeneity of Vps75–Rtt109 complexes and determine optimal conditions for solubility when H3-H4 is added. Our comprehensive biochemical and biophysical approach ultimately defines the large-scale preparation of Vps75–Rtt109–(H3-H4) complexes with precise stoichiometry. This is an essential prerequisite for ongoing high-resolution structural and functional analysis of this important multi-subunit complex.

Published: September 2020

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This paper reports on a two-year study that explored teachers’ pedagogical approaches when implementing an active citizenship curriculum initiative in New Zealand. Our aim was to identify pedagogies which afforded potential for critical and transformative citizenship learning. We define critical and transformative social action through a fusion of critical pedagogy and Dewey's notion of democratic education. Data included teachers’ classroom-based research as well as classroom observations and interviews with students. Our study suggested that citizenship learning through both affective and cognitive domains can provide for deeper opportunities for students to experience critical and transformative democratic engagement.
Methodological basis for designing a digital simulator of pedagogical activities
Authors: Galiakberova A. A. , Galyamova E. Kh. , Matveev S. N.
Published: September 2020

Introduction. The article presents the foundations of the concept of a digital simulator of pedagogical activity. Its characteristics allow us to see the possibilities of modeling pedagogical activity from the point of view of implementing the principles of the activity approach. The purpose of this research is to create a concept and methodological toolkit as a plot composition for programming a simulator of pedagogical activities for teaching to solve geometric problems. The content of one of the storylines on the topic “Orthocenter of a triangle” is shown

Materials and Methods. The modern system of higher education trains teachers for professional activities in the global information society. The development of information and digital technologies involves active use of distant education tools, which means educational technologies implemented using information and telecommunication networks with the indirect interaction of students and teachers. Due to these requirements, the paper considers the possibilities of simulation in the process of professional training of future school teachers. The following research methods were used: pedagogical experiment, observation and modeling, as well as analysis of existing simulators in the higher education system of the Russian Federation [9, 10, 11, 14] and foreign educational systems as well [20].

Results. There has been developed a concept and adaptation of the mathematical content of the simulator [16] to the level of specialized secondary education. To create such a simulator, a bank of pedagogical situations and options for their solution was created, the source of replenishment of which is the pedagogical practice of students at school. We see the prospect that the interaction of the simulator should be built in such a way as to meet the potential user needs and the requirements of the professional standard [19]. The concept of a simulator for teaching to solve geometric problems is based on the theoretical foundations of elementary geometry and methods (techniques) for solving problems of increased complexity in geometry (profile level, Unified State Exam, Olympiad problems), teaching methods for geometric problems, cognitive psychology.

Discussion and Conclusions. The article presents a model for simulating the actions of a future mathematics teacher in the process of organizing the solution of a geometric problem from the point of view of didactics, psychology, methods and axioms of geometry. An experimental base has been prepared for a future pedagogical experiment on the introduction of a simulator into the educational process of training mathematics teachers.

Published: September 2020

Europe-wide activities to improve biosafety and biosecurity performed within the frameworks of the European Union (EU)-funded Joint Actions EMERGE and QUANDHIP led to the development of an Integrated European Checklist for Laboratory Biorisk Management (ECL).

To better understand different approaches shaping biorisk management (BRM) systems on an operational level in high containment laboratories, the ECL was used to map the implementation of BRM in 32 high containment laboratories in 18 countries in Europe. The results suggest that the BRM elements referring to standard microbiological working practices and the handling of infectious material were fulfilled particularly well. The elements safety exercises involving internal and external emergency responders, and appropriate decommissioning plans were not fulfilled particularly well. BRM in Biosafety Level (BSL) 4 laboratories handling Risk Group (RG) 4 viruses appear to vary among each other less than BSL3 laboratories handling RG 3 bacteria. It is important to agree on comparable regulations in Europe as high containment laboratories are indispensable for a safe, quick and effective response to public health threats. As high containment laboratories may also present a public health risk it is crucial to have robust BRM on organisational and operational levels.

Introduction: Few studies are available to appreciate the broad spectrum of dive-related injuries (DI), which are not limited to decompression illness (DCI) and fatalities. Studies supporting injury-management efficacy from early recognition to first-aid, final treatment and outcome are also lacking. This study aims at making an epidemiologic inventory of DI among French scuba divers. Methods: This online, retrospective, cross-sectional survey analyzed self-reported symptoms, context of occurrence, initial response and outcome. The relationships between symptoms and diver characteristics were assessed and severity scores created from the reports. Results: A total of 799 divers responded, of whose questionnaires 784 were sufficiently complete to be analyzed. Approximately one-third (35%) of respondents had never experienced a DI. DCI-like symptoms represent a small fraction of DIs, the most commonly reported being ear barotrauma. Self-reported symptom rates decreased with increasing age and male sex. The ranking dive leader was the primary care provider in 58% of reports and 32% of injured divers never sought help. Management decisions (first aid and/or hyperbaric oxygen treatment) were related to the severity score. Complete resolution was achieved in 84 (74%) of 114 DCI cases, whilst mild (n = 22, 19%) and severe (n = 8, 7%) residual symptoms were reported. One in 10 divers who did not seek treatment for symptoms believed to be related to DCI declared some residual symptoms. Conclusion: Based on these results, diving injury rates may be higher than previously reported. However, the most frequent symptoms appear to be of only a modest nature.

This paper presents the results of an exploratory survey of African Consumers’ Perception Regarding consumer electronics products originating from its three major trading partners-China, Japan and United States of America (U.S.A). The focus of the study is investigating the source of information in evaluating foreign products, The evaluation of the specific product cues used by African consumer in their assessment of electronic products and the ranking of the three countries-China, Japan and USA in terms of the various product attributes. The product category selected for the study includes television sets, Refrigerators, Computers, Electric irons, and digital cameras. The products cues (Dimensions) used for the study comprised of Country of origin image (COI), Brand Familiarity (B.F), Perceived product quality (PPQ), Firms’ trust (F.T), Country reputation (C.R), Economic Animosity (E.A), Perceived product price (PPP), And Product Availability (P.A). Data  was collected from two hundred and seventy (270) African consumers in the city of Wuhan Hubei province; Peoples Republic of China. With the aid of statistical packages for social sciences (IBM SPSS 20 VERSION), Paired-sample T test was used to compare the mean ratings of all the eight (8) product dimensions for all the pairs of the three (3) countries. The findings showed that internet advertisement and television are the most important information sources used by African consumers in evaluating foreign electronic products, this was followed by friends’ opinion and the least patronage was radio. The result also disclosed that African consumers don’t consider the country of origin aspect to be their priority in the course of making foreign electronic product purchase, rather other product attributes such as quality and product brand take the precedence. Also revealed from the studies is the ranking of the three countries in terms of the eight product dimensions. It was found that, Japan having highest brand recognition (Brand familiarity), United states would boast of two things, which include high perceived product quality and country reputation. China is leading ahead in terms of cheap product price and availability of their products in almost (if not all) the nooks and crannies of African countries as perceived by African consumers. Finally, in discussing managerial implications, prescriptions were made to marketers from different countries for improving their competitiveness in the emerging African market given the present perceptions of the African consumers.

Micro satellites must survive severe mechanical conditions during their launch phase. One design requirement for rockets is the stiffness requirement, i.e. the natural frequencies requirement. In the early stages of satellite development, presumption of the natural frequency of a satellite may be difficult. The material used for the structure of many micro satellites is an aluminum alloy. The structure subsystem occupies a large portion of the satellite mass, and the elastic modulus of this aluminum alloy is larger than that of other subsystems. Therefore, the mechanical property of the aluminum alloy cannot be used to represent the mechanical property of the whole satellite.  The density of an actual satellite differs from the density of the aluminum alloy.  Therefore, when estimating the minimum natural frequency, the size and the elastic modules of an actual satellite structure must be used. When using an actual satellite structure, the estimated minimum natural frequencies of the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction during the ascent phase are in agreement with the measured values acquired by the vibration tests. In order to shorten a process of satellite development, this paper describes a practical method for estimating the natural frequency of a cube-shaped micro satellite This paper is a modified version of the previous paper [1] using new measurement results.
THE ECONOMIC OF SCAVENGING BUSINESS IN MUBI METROPOLITAN AREA

The study examines the economics of scavenging (Baban Bola or Yan Bola), in Mubi by over increasing numbers of unemployed youths in Mubi. The data was collected through closed ended questionnaires (60) and through researcher field observation. Data obtained were qualitative and quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistic.  Result shows that materials scavenging from solid waste for recycling is dangerous done by combining through waste dumps where materials sought after handpicked. Recyclable materials are also obtained by scavengers through the process of weighing or pricing. The materials required are hence transported using a metal cart (push push) to junk collection deport and processed by sorting and grinding. They are consequently weight using the salter scale to determine their monetary worth before selling it to the junk dealers. Most materials collected by scavengers are metallic objects, glass bottles, rubbers or plastic material because demands for such materials are high by recycling industries locally. This scavenging practice is observed to by environmentally being as it helps in reducing the excess waste destined for evacuation and final disposal in addition to the job it creates. It is however, recommended that scavenging practice should be properly organized and practitioners financially empowered so that they will acquire modern tools of resources recovered from waste to bust their capacity to recover more waste which will in due course lead to low-waste society
DECREASE OF REAL POWER LOSS BY ADAPTED ALGORITHM

In this paper, Adapted Flower Pollination (AFP) algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal reactive power problem. Flower pollination algorithm has been improved by comprising of the elements of chaos theory, Shuffled frog leaping search and Levy Flight. In the AFP algorithm, the initial population is generated using the circle map, frog leaping local search is performed by each solution and when rand>p, modified Levy flight with integration of inertia weight in global pollination is performed on that particular solution. Proposed AFP algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 57 bus test system and simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss.

Authors: Şenel Tekin Perihan
Published: September 2020

Background:  Health literacy has a measure of capacity to access, understand, assess, and apply health information in individuals’ decision-making processes to maintain and improve life-quality quality of life. Research is a descriptive study aiming to determine the health literacy level of medical secretary’ students who are health professionals and the influencing factors of health literacy in the future. 

Method: The research was conducted between April 30 and June 1, 2018, and the study group consisted of 55 medical secretary students who study in Ankara University Vocational School of Health in Turkey. The participants were given the questionnaire which was composed of 3 sections (socio-demographic information, health status, and the Health Literacy Survey-European Union/HLS-EU scale) and 70 questions used for data collection purposes.

Results: The average age of the group was 21.4±4.1. The average score of participants’ general health literacy index was calculated as 33.9±7.42 (n=55). Approximately 70% of participants (n=55) were found to have adequate health literacy.

Conclusions: It is very important that the medical secretaries working as secretarial and patient orientation personnel in the health sector are health literate in terms of their own health and health service quality. Health literacy can't be considered independent of the general literacy level. Hence, in the lifelong learning process, individuals need to be supported in school and work life.

The study investigated the effectiveness of school guidance services as perceived by principals in Edo State, Nigeria. The study sought to examine secondary school principals’ perception on the effectiveness of guidance services (orientation, appraisal, information and counselling services) and determine gender and school location differences in principals’ perception of the effectiveness of counselling services in schools.  The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A sample of 36 schools (1 rural and 1 urban) were drawn from public senior secondary schools in the study area using purposive random sampling. The instrument used for the collection of data was a self-developed questionnaire titled: “School Guidance Services Effectiveness Questionnaire (SOGSEQ)”. The construct validity was ascertained by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) while the Cronbach reliability alpha of the questionnaire yielded an overall index of 0.84. The descriptive statistics such as mean (X ̅) and standard deviation (S.D) was used to analyze the research question 1 while the t-test for independent sample means was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 alpha level. Results from the analysis showed that principals perceived orientation services to be the only effective guidance service in secondary schools in Edo State. Result further showed that there is a significant difference between rural and urban principals in their perception on the effectiveness of school guidance services (appraisal, information and counselling services) in secondary schools in Edo State. It is recommended that guidance counsellors in the secondary schools should realize that their guidance services should be such that will enable them to meet the needs of learners in schools. For this to be achieved, school heads, teachers, parents and the government must also be actively involved in providing their support for the delivery of the services when necessary
