ABSTRACT:
Objectives:
Prosthodontic needs may affect oral health quality of life among subsets of an urban population like traders in urban markets. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the impact of unmet prosthetic needs on Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among traders in urban markets within Kano metropolis.
Materials and Methods:
Institutional Ethical approval was obtained. Study location was selected after a stratified sampling of available markets. A study proforma retrieving information on sociodemographic, prosthetic status and needs; and, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was administered on consenting participants.
Retrieved data were summarized as frequencies, percentages and means. Prosthetic needs were quantified and assessed to derive patterns and odds ratios across participants sociodemographic characteristics. Rank Correlation and subgroup analyses were to assess the relationship between prosthetic need and OHIP-14 scores and how this is influenced by gender and age.
Results:
A total of 360 individuals participated in the study. There were 274 (76%) males and 86 (24%) females. Their ages ranged from 18 to 85 years with a mean age of 35.9 ± 14.8 years. A comparable percentage of participants were either married (48%), or had never been married (44.1%). Participants who identified as Muslim (84.7%) predominated, and Hausa/Fulani (69.4%) were the predominant ethnic identity. Many (48.1%) of participants had at least a secondary school level of education.
About a fifth (79 or 21.9%) of the participants had a prosthodontic need. Unmet needs were present in 51(64.6%) of this segment of the participants. Females were more likely to have a prosthesis (OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 0.90, 4.74). Prostheses were more common among participants 50 years or older (OR=7.49; 95% CI:1.50, 37.29) and were about 3.5 times more likely to be found in individuals who had at least a secondary school education.
Mean OHIP-14 scores was 1.3±3.9 in those without prosthetic needs and 13.1±12.7 for those with needs. Prosthetic need influenced OHIP=14 scores in all tested domains (p<0.001). Prosthetic needs correlated with OHIP-14 scores (rs=0.64, p<0.001). The correlation between prosthetic needs and OHIP-14 scores was stronger in females (p<0.001) and with increasing age (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
There was a high level of unmet prosthetic need within the studied population. Prosthetic need was inversely related to Oral Health Related Quality of Life. Increasing age and female gender were directly related to prosthetic needs and prosthetic status.

Authors: Abe Elizabeth , Opeodu Olanrewaju Ige , Arowojolu Modupeola Olayinka
Published: June 2024

Background: Periodontal disease is a potential source of systemic inflammation that impacts overall health. Therefore, successful prevention and management of the disease is pivotal in avoiding systemic inflammation with its attending complications. This will involve creating awareness about its causes, early identification of symptoms and effective treatment.
Objective: To assess and compare the level of knowledge about periodontal diseases and its interrelationship with systemic diseases among nursing and dental surgery technician (DST) students.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among DST and nursing students using a structured questionnaire which consisted of questions on bio-data and knowledge on periodontal-systemic diseases. Questions regarding their oral hygiene practices and dental service utilization were also asked. Data was analyzed using SPSS version21.
Result: Respondents consisted of 31(10.8%) males and 257(89.2%) females with their mean age being 21.5± 2.5 years; having more nursing students 173(60.1%) compared to DST students 115(39.9%). Majority of the respondents (79%) had good knowledge on the interrelationship between periodontal disease and systemic health, with a greater level of knowledge significantly noted among the DST students (85.3%) compared with the nursing students (75%) [p= 0.041]. Similarly, the level of knowledge about symptoms of periodontal diseases was high (85%) and significantly more reported by the DST students (98.2%) compared to the nursing students (76.1%). Assessment of the respondents’ dental service utilization revealed that only 40% had ever visited a dentist, more significantly noted by the DST students (64.0%) compared to the nursing students.
Conclusion: There was a good level of knowledge on periodontal-systemic interrelationship among the respondents. Their dental service utilization and oral hygiene practices were found to be fair. There is an inevitable need for interdisciplinary collaboration between nursing and dental professionals for the development of oral health curriculum for nurses to promote oral health and prevent dental diseases in the community.

¿Qué lugar tuvo el Cono Sur en la reflexión académica sobre la transición? La revista Alternativas/Opciones y la recepción de la producción intelectual sobre las transiciones políticas en Santiago, 1983-1989
Authors: Dinamarca Opazo Renato
Published: June 2024

En general, la bibliografía historiográfica sobre la transición política que ha buscado hacer frente al nacionalismo metodológico se ha concentrado en los vínculos que el proceso chileno tuvo con actores y procesos del primer  mundo. Por su parte, esta investigación busca contribuir al campo enfocándose en la recepción de la producción intelectual acerca de los procesos transicionales conosureños. Para ello, analizamos dicho proceso en la revista Alternativas/Opciones mediante las herramientas teórico-metodológicas de la historia intelectual. Identificamos dos periodos: el primero, de 1983 a 1984, en el que el principal mecanismo de recepción fue la publicación de artículos de Guillermo O’Donnell y de académicos pertenecientes a su proyecto de investigación, quienes planteaban un conjunto de problemas sobre los procesos transicionales. Por su parte, en el segundo periodo, de 1985 a 1989, el principal mecanismo de recepción fue la publicación de artículos de académicos que, tomando en cuenta la producción de conocimiento de países vecinos, buscaban dar respuestas a interrogantes surgidas en el proceso político nacional.

This research aims to describe the moves and steps of the CARS model contained in the final project of Genre Analysis (GA) of English language education for students in Indonesia. This study aims to describe the moves and steps of the Creating a Research Space (CARS) model that is presented in the English-language students' Genre Analysis (GA) theses of several universities in Indonesia. The model used in this study is the CARS model of Swales which consists of three moves. The research method is qualitative. The data in this study are five abstract scripts of students of the English Language Education study program available in Indonesia. Two abstract scripts were obtained from the document repository of the University of Education Indonesia and three abstracts from the documents of the Islamic University of Indonesia for 2023. The data collection technique used is the library, which is the primary data source for the written source. The data analysis techniques used qualitative descriptive techniques. These results show that the Creating a Research Space (CARS) model developed by Swales can be effectively applied to the analysis of abstract genres in English language student scripts. All moves and steps in the CARS model, ie M-1 (creating analysis fields), M-2 (solving problems in analysis), and M-3 (absorbing problems), can be clearly identified in the abstract scripts studied. From this point of view, the researchers emphasize that applying the CARS model not only helps in abstract structural analysis but also provides a deeper insight into how to compose an informative, coherent, and consistent with academic standards.

Authors: Bessa Nícolas Rodrigues Nunes
Published: June 2024

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2018) é um documento normativo que define as aprendizagens essenciais que os educandos devem desenvolver, a partir de competências e habilidades. Dentre muitas competências, destaca-se que o domínio do Inglês contribui com a inserção do sujeito no mundo globalizado. Estudos evidenciam que a abordagem comunicativa para o ensino de línguas favorece a aquisição do código linguístico. Assim, esta pesquisa investiga se as competências específicas do componente curricular Língua Inglesa presentes na BNCC (BRASIL, 2018) possuem correlação com os aspectos da abordagem comunicativa para o ensino de línguas. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa etnográfica (ROCKWELL, 1991). A análise de dados revelou que traços da abordagem comunicativa estão presentes nas competências específicas de Língua Inglesa para o Ensino Fundamental. Assim, o desenvolvimento de propostas destinadas à formação continuada de professores, que viabiliza o desenvolvimento de competências docentes para a efetivação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem norteado pela abordagem comunicativa, é um aspecto essencial para se oportunizar uma aprendizagem crítica, inclusiva e autônoma.Palavras-chave: BNCC; Língua Inglesa; Abordagem Comunicativa.

Published: June 2024

Resumo: O campo CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) estuda a relação do ensino de línguas com a tecnologia e possui diversos subcampos, dentre eles a Telecolaboração. A Telecolaboração envolve o engajamento de grupos de alunos em interações interculturais online e projetos colaborativos com parceiros de outros contextos culturais ou localizações geográficas. Contribui para o desenvolvimento das competências tanto da língua estrangeira quanto intercultural e eletrônica dos estudantes e oferece possibilidades para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de internacionalização das universidades. Contudo, a atividade continua relativamente periférica e ainda não é realizada por um número grande de educadores. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o uso de projetos telecolaborativos no Brasil. Todos os artigos encontrados focam o modelo Tandem/Teletandem, nenhum envolvendo a colaboração entre turmas e/ou sites/plataformas específicos. Algumas das soluções/informações encontradas, no entanto, podem ser úteis para os outros tipos de projetos telecoborativos. Os resultados contribuem também para o campo ao mostrar a prevalência do Tandem/Teletandem no Brasil.

RESUMO: Diante do contexto da pandemia do Coronavírus (Covid-19) vivenciado no início de 2020, o objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre uma proposta de ensino que pode possibilitar a ampliação de perspectivas compreensivas sobre a importância da leitura para a expressão do sujeito leitor. Será analisado um projeto de ensino desenvolvido de maneira remota, como resposta ao distanciamento social imposto no período pandêmico. Para tanto, os referencias teóricos serão embasados na articulação escolar da leitura literária, bem como sua concepção de espaço de existência, da expressão da subjetividade, da elaboração da identidade, do conhecimento de si, do outro e do mundo como postulam Rouxel (2012), Petit (2013), Colomer (2007), Lajolo (1993), dentre outros. Os resultados mostram que mais do que um objeto de ensino, a leitura literária possibilita subsistir à realidade que, muitas vezes, nos impõem grandes desafios, como aqueles trazidos pela pandemia.

Authors: Cassiano de Matos Thamirys Di Paula
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar representações do corpo feminino e memória em poemas de Conceição Evaristo. Para tanto, os textos escolhidos são Eu-mulher, Vozes-Mulheres e Meu Rosário da coletânea Poemas da recordação e outros movimentos (2008). Com análise fundamentada na crítica feminista e em estudos de obras da escritora em questão, constatou-se que neles a escrita autoral apresenta o universo de experiências da comunidade afro-brasileira, focalizado principalmente nas experiências das mulheres negras, com tons de denúncia das injustiças sociais, dos indícios da complexidade de esquemas corporais produzidos em ambientes marginalizados, bem como a valorização da memória e identidade afro-brasileira com intuitos de levante e esperança nas gerações futuras seja como um coletivo seja como narradoras de si.

Reflexões sobre a baixa presença masculina nas instituições de educação básica se fazem necessárias na atualidade. A partir de inquietações presentes desde a seleção do Doutorado, assim como de análises dos ambientes escolares que passei nessa caminhada de dez anos na educação, constituíram uma trajetória de questionamentos em busca dos “porquês” a presença masculina é, em sua totalidade, uma parcela muito pequena quanto atuantes na docência. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar o número de educadores do sexo masculino que atuam na rede municipal de ensino, de uma cidade da região metropolitana, refletindo sobre a construção da identidade de gênero desta profissão no município. A partir de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, analisando o número de educadores que atuam na educação básica são tecidas reflexões, a partir do percurso histórico da profissão professor, assim como a construção identitária da docência e as relações de gênero. Os dados analisados demonstram a feminização do magistério, cunhada, muitas vezes, em estereótipos e relações de preconceitos das quais são necessárias o rompimento de estigmas e da imagem de gênero presentes em quaisquer profissões.

O aumento e a persistência de arboviroses como a dengue, chicungunya e zyka, que atingem sazonalmente a população brasileira, faz com que ações e estudos em relação a criação de meios eficazes para o controle de mosquitos e larvas  do vetor Aedes aegypti sejam cada vez mais precisas.  Há alguns anos tem se observado um aumento da utilização de plantas para produção de extratos eficazes contra vetores, devido a grande variedade de metabólitos secundários relacionados a mecanismos de proteção destas contra predadores e patógenos, dentre as quais podendo-se citar a espécie Sansevieria trifasciata. No presente trabalho objetivou-se avaliar a atividade larvicida do infuso de S. trifasciata Prain frente a larvas de Ae. aegypti. Para coleta dos imaturos foram montadas armadilhas utilizando pneus usados de Kart, as quais foram distribuídas em um campus de uma instituição de ensino superior com sede na região do vale do Paraíba. A infusão foi preparada a partir de folhas secas e pulverizadas da espécie vegetal  testada e os testes larvicidas foram realizados em tubos de ensaio contendo água (grupo controle), bem como a infusão concentrada e 3 diluições preparadas a partir desta, sendo os testes efetuados em dez cópias para cada solução preparada e com 10 larvas para cada tubo. A determinação da eficácia se deu mediante avaliação da evolução das larvas e da mortalidade após 24 horas por um período de 7 dias (uma semana). Observou-se que o infuso concentrado induziu 100% de mortalidade, resultado semelhante ao obtido em todas as diluições testadas, evidenciando-se dessa forma a aplicabilidade de S. trifasciata para controle de populações de Ae. aegypti.

Commercial Applications of Electronic Currencies
Authors: Aloun Dema Matrouk
Published: June 2024

Digital payment systems, also known as digital money, digital currency, or electronic money, have come a long way since the invention of computer-based communication systems. From the requirement of human-to-machine monetary transactions, it has evolved. E-money is a virtual cash model that is making its way in the online and virtual transfer domain. The authorization transaction is conducted through traditional banking systems between the payer and the payee, which issues e-money accounts for these transactions. After this amount is booked and stored by banks, it can be verified and transferred to payers/payees as e-money. One important challenge in this domain is to reduce reliance on the identifying authority, and the corresponding e-money transactions should be as simple and secure as cash transactions. Bitcoin – the electronic currency introduced in 2009 by an anonymous author and designed to work independently of a central authority – is unique and often considered news. This ignores the general history of electronic currencies. In 1998, Wei Dai introduced B-money, an efficient product of minimizing communication that serves as a method of fees and rewards for providing limited resources. Also in 1998, Adam Back introduced Hashcash – a currency that ties real computing costs to solve increasingly difficult computational puzzles. In 1999, Nick Szabo introduced bit gold – a product offering small chained proof of work and conducted via broadcast. David Chaum’s eCash, based on blind signatures, was a technical principle in the paper in 1983, and in 1990 with Amos Fiat and Moni Naor in addition known as related technology.
Features of Quranic Text Decording as a Partly Dead Arabic Language
Authors: Alkhazurovich Eldarov Azamat
Published: June 2024

Purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to systematize the meanings of words and cases of modification of grammatical categories of names and verbs based on the decipherment of the Koranic text. Materials and research methods. The sentences of the Koranic text were analyzed using a continuous sampling method within the framework of suras and verses. The research material is the text of the Koran. It should be noted that the earliest texts of the Qur'an in Arabic available in the world date back to 1400 years. The texts of letters with dots and vowels (haraka) date back 1200 years, they are fully consistent with the modern texts of the Qur'an distributed throughout the world in books and on the Internet (الكريم القرآن). The objects of the study were the meanings of words, changing the person of the verb, changing the tense or mood of the verb, changing the case of names, replacing one morphological structure with another, using a present tense verb in the imperative mood and vice versa, replacing an active participle with a passive participle and vice versa, modification of verb inflections. Based on scientific interest in the illogically composed ancient text, an attempt was made to systematize the meanings of words and cases of modification of grammatical categories throughout the text. Research results. It is noted that modern Arabic only partially corresponds to the language of the Quranic text of a thousand years ago. The reason for this is that the modern understanding of the meanings of many Quranic words is not systematized, that is, the same word in the text of the Quran can have several meanings, which are revealed not only from the context, but also from traditions about the messenger Muhammad (Hadis). It was revealed that in the works of researchers it is believed that the language of the text of the Quran is complex due to the fact that it was created on the basis of rhyme, incomprehensible logic of the text, or this text is encrypted. Because of this, it is generally accepted that the Quranic text is encrypted, the full decryption of which is known only to its author. The meanings of words and cases of modification of grammatical categories of names and verbs found in the text of the Koran are systematized. Conclusions. The text of the Koran is voluminous, which is why it is not possible to manipulate the meanings of words and inflections of the verbs of the text, since they are found in sentences with different meanings. It is concluded that contextual analysis is the most promising and optimal method for studying the text of the Koran, its translation, as well as systematization of linguistic phenomena, in particular, the meanings of words and modifications of grammatical categories.

Published: June 2024

A significant improvement to the advancement of the Quality of Life (QoL) for Senior Citizens (SC) has been provided by Furniture Design (FD), which takes into account both their physical requirements and their emotional state. A review of the Aesthetic Value (AV) of FD is made available in this paper, with a particular focus on the integration of Cultural Identity (CI) and historical progress. Studying the role of regionally evocative designs and their impact on people of any age, the work of art explores the methods in which furniture may induce emotions of comfort, simplicity, and location. The analysis significantly underlines the impact it has on SC. The primary emphasis of this archeological research is on the evolution of FD during a period of time and the methods by which current developments have impacted the fundamental concepts that are used in today's society. Within the context of this research project, the difficulties and challenges that are connected with achieving the development of AV FD providing practical assistance for SC are explored. This can be achieved via the application of case histories and an analysis of architectural techniques representing four distinct Asian countries. In conclusion, the results obtained from the current study demonstrate the importance of improving the quality of life of SC by reaching an improved balance between AV, historical value, and feasible results within the context of FD.
Improve High Order Thinking Students through Contextual Teaching Learning Based on Cognitive Distance
Authors: Putra Roma , Surya Edy , Setiawan Deny , . Hidayat
Published: June 2024

This article describes the efforts of teachers in increasing High Order Thinking (HOT) Learners through Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL) based on Cognitive Distance. In the current learning process there are several gaps related to students' thinking assumptions. The majority of teachers understand their role as disseminators and not student centres; so that the focus of education in schools is more on factual knowledge. This then has an impact on the student achievement assessment system which is based more on tests that are tested for low-level cognitive abilities only. The existence of the Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL) learning model is expected to be a bridge to build High Order Thinking (HOT) learners who can ultimately make learners able to achieve High Order Thinking (HOT). CTL has five elements that must be considered, namely, activating existing knowledge (activating learning). Acquisition of existing knowledge (acquiring knowledge) by studying the whole first, then paying attention to the details. The next element is in the form of understanding knowledge, by compiling hypotheses, sharing with others in order to get responses (validation) then from that response, the concept is revised and developed, practicing the knowledge and experience (applying knowledge), reflecting (reflecting knowledge) on the knowledge strategy. Based on the development process at the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation stages, it can be concluded that CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) is quite effective and efficient for developing history and culture learning programs for grade 5 elementary schools. This has been proven to save the number of lesson hours by 49.45% of the total number of normal lesson hours provided for studying the field of History and Culture in grade 5 elementary school. Likewise, HOTS can increase students' learning achievement, the average is 7,516. Implementation of CTL can also increase students' learning motivation and self-regulation of learning. This is proven by the level of achievement of student learning motivation is 88.01% and student learning self-regulation reaches 86.6%.
Situational Judgement Test (SJT) on Digital Leadership using Fuzzy Delphi Method for Expert Evaluations
Authors: Abdul Musid Nurhafizah , Matore Mohd Effendi @ Ewan Mohd , Hamid Aida Hanim A.
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, one of the most prominent leadership philosophies is digital leadership. However, there are still few tools available to assess digital leadership. Unfortunately, the discussion about expert consensus items is limited, especially involving fuzzy considerations. Therefore, this study will assess the content validity of an instrument called situational judgement test (SJT) by using Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). There are 13 panels chosen to serve as the FDM's experts. The item should satisfy three conditions of FDM, namely the threshold value (d), the percentage of expert consensus, and the fuzzy score (Amax). The questionnaire uses a seven-point Likert scale based on appropriateness. There are nine constructs, namely (1) Student Engagement, Learning, and Outcomes; (2) Learning Environment and Spaces; (3) Professional Growth and Learning; (4) Communication; (5) Public relations; (6) Branding; (7) Opportunities; (8) Empowered Professionals; and (9) Learning Catalyst. Each construct has 10 items at the first level. According to the results of the study, only 45 of 90 items are appropriate for inclusion in the SJT to assess teachers' digital leadership roles, i.e., five items for each construct. The findings have important implications to recommend any other empirical ways of assessing SJT items to increase the validity aspect of the items.

Authors: AlAli Rommel , Wardat Yousef
Published: June 2024

This study critically examines the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in K-12 mathematics education, focusing on three key areas: the challenges of implementing VR, its impact on student engagement and learning outcomes, and the barriers to its adoption. The review uncovers significant issues such as potential gaps in conceptual understanding, distractions from learning objectives, lack of established standards and evaluation criteria, and the need for extensive teacher training. While VR can enhance learning interactivity, the evidence of its educational impact is varied. The study also highlights the high costs of VR equipment and content development, and the technical complexities of implementation, as major hurdles. The study concludes that while VR has the potential to enrich mathematics education, it is crucial to address these challenges to fully realize its benefits. This includes developing affordable VR solutions, establishing clear evaluation standards, and providing comprehensive training and support for educators to ensure successful integration into the classroom.

First, the implementation of the independent curriculum at SMP Negeri 3 Pamekasan had an impact on how students formed their character. This was clear from the data analysis results, which showed that the r count value was 0.723 higher than the product moment r table value, where at N=40 in a 5% confidence interval, a value of 0.312 and a value of 0.403 were achieved. Second, because the rcount value of 0.723 is in a range of numbers from 0.600 to 0.800 with a high/strong correlation, the application of the independent curriculum at Pamekasan 3 Public Middle School has a pretty significant impact on the development of student character.

Belajar merupakan aktivitas interaksi aktif individu terhadap lingkungan sehingga terjadi perubahan tingkah laku. Sementara itu pembelajaran adalah penyediaan kondisi yang mengakibatkan terjadinya proses pelajaran pada siswa. Yang perlu menjadikan perhatian adalah pola interaksi yang dibangun karena disinilah proses penyampaian pengetahuan dan nilai-nilai dalam materi pelajaran tersebut berlangsung. Apabila pola interaksi yang dibangun antara guru dan siswa sangat baik, maka bukan untuk memperoleh perubahan prilaku melalui berbagai upaya, metode dan pendekatan kearah pencapaian tujuan yang telah direncanakan.
Dalam proses pembelajaran seorang guru harus kreatif dan tepat dalam memilih model ataupun metode pembelajaran yang akan digunakan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Salah satunya menggunakan model paradigma pedagogi reflektif (PPR) yang hal itu bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar.
Model PPR juga mengembangkan pola pikir siswa menjadi siswa yang berkemanusian. Model PPR mengembangkan competence, conscience, dan compassion yang sama dengan aspek kognitif, afektif, dan konatif. Langkah-langkah model PPR sendiri diawali dengan konteks, pengalaman, refleksi, aksi, dan evaluasi. Siswa diharapkan mempunyai pemikiran yang nalar, sikap disiplin dan berinisiatif, serta mampu mengembangkan integritas pribadi dan berpikir positif. Siswa juga diharapkan mampu menerima nilai kedisiplinan dengan baik, bukan hanya kemampuannya kognitifnya saja, namun juga dapat merasakan pentingnya nilai dalam kehidupan serta dapat melaksanakan nilai tersebut.
Penerapan model paradigma pedagogi  reflektif  di kelas II SDN Tolbuk dikategorikan baik. Hal ini terbukti dari angket yang sudah dianalisa karena rata-rata berada diatas 70%
Kemandirian siswa kelas II SDN Tolbuk berkategorikan baik dan secara klasikal memperoleh nilai lebih dari 3 dan berkategori baik. Berdasarkan hasil penghitungan korelasi product moment antara model paradigma pedagogi  reflektif di kelas II SDN Tolbuk menggunakan rumus product moment dengan nilai perhitungan yang diperoleh dari koefisien kolerasi (r) sebesar 0,78 lebih besar daripada r table, baik taraf signifikansi 10% dengan nilai maupun pada signifikansi 5%.  Dengan demikian, hipotesa penelitian Ha yang diajukan dapat diterima artinya ada pengaruh model paradigma pedagogi  reflektif terhadap kemandirian siswa kelas II SDN Tolbuk.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to design a relationship marketing model to increase participation in non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Methodology: This research is a mixed-method study (qualitative-quantitative) conducted using the thematic analysis method. In this context, the statistical population in the qualitative section includes all marketing experts and senior managers of companies and institutions active in the field of participation in NGOs. Using snowball sampling, 10 individuals were selected until theoretical saturation was achieved. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the experts. Strauss and Corbin's systematic method was used for coding the interviews. To validate the qualitative findings, the criterion of credibility with reliability was employed. The statistical population of the quantitative section included all employees of NGOs providing services to children with critical illnesses. Based on the determined sample size for structural equations, 260 individuals were selected using purposeful sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire derived from the qualitative section. For the questionnaire's validity, convergent and divergent validity were used, and for reliability assessment, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability were utilized. The collected data were tested using PLS3 software. Findings: The final model, consisting of causal conditions (11 concepts and 2 categories), central phenomena (5 concepts and 1 category), contextual conditions (6 concepts and 2 categories), strategies (11 concepts and 2 categories), intervening conditions (5 concepts and 1 category), and consequences (10 concepts and 3 categories), was formed as the dimensions of relationship marketing to increase participation in NGOs. After analyzing the quantitative section, all path coefficients in the model were significant and confirmed. Conclusion: The results indicated that designing a relationship marketing model for NGOs can enhance member and community participation and interaction, ultimately leading to the achievement of goals and the enhancement of the mission of these organizations. This model is crucial as an effective tool for the development and growth of such organizations and can lead to positive transformations in social participation and NGO activities.
