Authors:   Pavlodar Pedagogical University ,Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, Seitkhanova A.K.
Published: April 2022

In connection with the implementation of the updated content of secondary education in schools of Kazakhstan, the issue of improving the methodological training of future teachers of mathematics in higher education institutions is relevant. Mathematics is able to make a significant contribution not only to the overall development of personality, but also to the formation of character, moral traits, contributes to the development of aesthetic perception of the world. Thus, teacher training universities faced a number of difficulties in teaching mathematical subjects. The effectiveness of the modernisation of Kazakhstan's schools depends on the level of teachers' understanding of the main ideas of innovative processes and their readiness to implement these changes. In this case, the amount of responsibility in training future teachers, in particular teachers of mathematics, will increase. After all, the level of mathematics education and training of a mathematics teacher often determines the level of knowledge of the population and the competitiveness of professionals. Higher education institutions preparing mathematics teachers should therefore pay attention to updating the content of secondary education, i.e. the issue of training future teachers of mathematics at university will be addressed through the development of educational programmes aimed at training teachers in the new format.

Published: April 2022

It is highlighted that the performance of schoolchildren is a complex process that occurs within the framework of the implementation of many of the points discussed in the article. Also, student failure can occur not only due to the low intellectual development of schoolchildren, but also for a number of other reasons. The article mentions the presence of student failure due to an incorrect pedagogical approach, the use of outdated methods, a low level of interaction with students of the teacher himself, and inappropriate behavior. It was determined that modern schools do not have enough developed programs that would reveal the average performance of students, would allow teachers to control the educational process faster and more productively. A program has been developed to determine the average score of high school students; during the experiment, it has established itself as relevant and necessary in the educational process. It was determined that this program will help teachers switch to an electronic reporting format, unload work time in favor of productive learning, rather than drawing up a written report by hand.

The article deals with the problems of developing cognitive abilities of younger schoolchildren through digital resources. The genesis of cognitive abilities is philosophically analyzed and expressed through the categories of mind, attention, thinking, intuition, discourse, etc. Psychologically (attention, perception, memory, thinking, imagination) is presented as a system of rational ways of mental activity, consisting of the processes of perception, assimilation, processing and transfer of knowledge. In pedagogical aspects, creativity in the performance of various tasks is characterized as manifestations, intellectual development in aspirations. Digital educational resources are recognized as a means of developing cognitive abilities. The article will reflect the tools of digital education. Rudolf Amthauer's "interests and needs test" was conducted to determine the levels of cognitive abilities of younger schoolchildren. The results have been processed. In the formative experiment, the content of the "Cognition" program for the 2nd grade is analyzed. Summarizing the results of the formative experiment, we came to the conclusion that the independent development of cognition in primary school age is one of the urgent problems of modern school. Its relevance is due to the content of training, the designation of the tasks of forming students' methods of self-education, the formation of their active life position. As a result of all the work, generalized conclusions and methodological recommendations on the use of digital resources for the development of cognitive abilities of younger schoolchildren are given.
Opinion Piece: Can we Fix the Scope for Coreference?
Authors: Zeldes Amir
Published: April 2022

Current work on automatic coreference resolution has focused on the OntoNotes benchmark dataset, due to both its size and consistency. However many aspects of the OntoNotes annotation scheme are not well understood by NLP practitioners, including the treatment of generic NPs, noun modifiers, indefinite anaphora, predication and more. These often lead to counterintuitive claims, results and system behaviors. This opinion piece aims to highlight some of the problems with the OntoNotes rendition of coreference, and to propose a way forward relying on three principles: 1. a focus on semantics, not morphosyntax; 2. cross-linguistic generalizability; and 3. a separation of identity and scope, which can resolve old problems involving temporal and modal domain consistency.

Authors: FIRAT Muhammet
Published: April 2022

Bu çalışma, Covid-19 salgını döneminde hizmet sektöründe çalışan ve bir şekilde işini kaybetmiş ya da salgın koşulları nedeniyle işine ara vermiş olan yoksulların salgınla başa çıkmak için ne tür stratejiler geliştirdiklerini anlama çabasındadır. Çalışma, yoksulların salgının olumsuz etkilerinden korunmak için başvurdukları çıkış yolları veya hangi stratejileri geliştirdiklerini açığa çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Covid-19 ile ilgili yapılan araştırmalarda, yoksulların salgından daha olumsuz etkilendiği ortaya konmuş ve tartışılmıştır. Çalışmadaki yoksullardan kasıt göreli yoksulluk kapsamında bulunan gruplardır. Özellikle Covid-19 salgını sürecinde güvencesizliğe itilme riski daha fazla olan hizmet sektörü çalışanları gibi kırılgan kesimler bu kapsamda değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrı ayrı betimlemelerden kaçınmak için bunların hepsi “göreli yoksul” olarak ele alınmaktadır. Nitel olarak tasarlanan derinlemesine mülakat tekniğiyle verinin elde edildiği bu araştırmaya Elazığ’da yaşayan ve hizmet sektöründe çalışan, salgın döneminde işini kaybeden ya da işine ara veren 15 (on beş) katılımcı dâhil edilmiştir. Sonuçta dezavantajlı grupların en kalabalık kesimini oluşturan yoksulların ya da yoksullaşma riski taşıyan hizmet sektörü çalışanlarının Covid-19 salgını karşısındaki en kırılgan ve korunaksız kesimler olduğu görülmüştür. Salgın kapanmaları ve kısıtlamalar nedeniyle hizmet sektörü çalışanları yeni geçinme stratejileri geliştirmişlerdir. Bu geçinme stratejileri; geçmişe nazaran kırsalla ilişkilerin daha sık hale gelmesi, hanede kadının geçinmedeki rolünün artması, sosyal yardımların artması, tüketimden kısma ve borçlanma şeklinde sıralanabilir. Ayrıca araştırmada, hane halkı büyüklüğü salgından önce önemli bir geçinme stratejisi iken salgınla birlikte önemini kaybetmiştir.

Authors: İNCE Adem
Published: April 2022

Bu makale Zygmunt Bauman’ın akışkan modernite ile Byung-Chul Han’ın performans toplumu kavramsallaştırmaları üzerinden geç modern toplumda eğitimin mahiyetini irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bir toplumsal kurum olarak eğitim, sosyolojik, politik, ekonomik ve kültürel veçhelerinden soyutlanarak anlaşılamayacak bir fenomen olduğundan, eğitimi daha çok okul içi pratiklere hasreden ve hapseden çağdaş eğitim anlayışı karşısında eğitimin hakikatini anlayabilmek adına meseleyi bütüncül bir bakışla ele almak hayati önem arz etmektedir. Bu yüzden Bauman’ın sosyolojik, Byung-Chul Han’ın felsefi yaklaşımları geç modern dönemde imal edilen insan tipolojisinin özelliklerini etraflıca ortaya koyuyor oluşlarıyla bu makaledeki temel tartışmaları oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında varılan temel sonuç, sosyoloji ve felsefe disiplinlerinin birbirini tamamlayıcı hususiyetlerinin Bauman ve Byung-Chul Han’ın görüşleri bağlamında da geçerli olduğudur. Bu anlamda Bauman’ın akışkan modernite kavramıyla ve Byung-Chul Han’ın da performans toplumu kavramıyla detaylandırdığı geç modern dönem analizlerinde günümüzde politik ve ekonomik politikalar dâhilinde işe koşulan araçlar vasıtasıyla imal edilmekte olan insan tipolojisinin ihtiva ettiği genel özelliklerin birbirine benzer olduğu görülmektedir. Dahası Bauman’ın sosyolojik yorumları ile Byung-Chul Han’ın felsefi görüşlerinin birçok yerde birbirini tamamlayan tespitlere tekabül ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada varılan sonuçlar geç modern dönemin karmaşık yapısı dikkate alındığında eğitimin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi adına eğitimle alakalı meselelerin disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımla ele alındığı takdirde daha sağlıklı bir yorumlamaya tabi tutulabileceğini öngörmektedir.

Methods: Two hundred and sixty-three second year medical students in the Medical Faculty of the University of Pleven completed a questionnaire on the importance, training methods and elements of doctor-patient communication in medical practice and two hundred and fifteen fifth-year medical students at the Medical Faculty of the University of Pleven completed the same questionnaire. Results: All participants in the study highly value the importance of communication with the patient for the diagnostic and therapeutic process, for the quality of the doctor-patient relationship, for increasing the self-confidence and satisfaction of the patient. There is no decrease in the assessment of students after clinical training on any of the indicators related to the basic communication skills of the doctor. Many students identify communication skills training as useful for acquiring the skills needed for clinical practice. All students surveyed reported a desire to improve their communication skills, preferring the methods and topics commonly used in this training. Conclusion: Medical students have the right ideas about the importance of good communication with the patient. The gender, nationality and experience of medical students have some influence on the way they perceive and evaluate doctor-patient communication. The comprehensive training in medicine, as well as the short training in communication skills, has a certain positive effect on the assessment of students for their communication skills and dealing with difficult situations in medical practice.

Cervical radiculopathy is common in clinical practice. It is the main reason to neck pain. Depending on the severity, neck pain can interfere with daily activities. In this regard, in order to identify the symptoms and to undertake optimal treatment of the problem, a full clinical and functional examination must be performed. The most commonly used and imposed test in practice to assess the condition of the muscles is manual muscle testing (MMT). Recent studies of muscle dysfunction in various neuromuscular disorders have focused on the use of apparatus methods to assess and monitor functional recovery. For this reason, based on the successful results of the use of a manual electronic dynamometer, we applied in a clinical setting testing with Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD) to monitor functional recovery in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Aim: The aim of the study was: to monitor and compare changes in muscle strength during functional recovery in patients with cervical radiculopathy using standard Manual Muscle Testing and Hand-Held Dynamometer. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the period from December 2019 to April 2020. They were selected 16 patients of different origins of pain in the neck portion (osteochondrosis, spondylosis, disk herniation). Functional, hardware and statistical methods were used to monitor and evaluate the results. HDD-muscle testing was also included in the experimental group. Results: The practical experience of using a Hand-Held electronic dynamometer proved to be facilitation not only for the researcher but also for the patients. The inclusion of an HHD in the conducted research allowed fast and accurate assessment of the physical function and the weakened muscle groups. This allowed individual dosing and targeted exercise of weakened muscle groups in each individual patient. Conclusion: The use of HHD to assess muscle strength leads to objectification and a more rational presentation of the results of muscle strength testing.

Published: April 2022

The internship is an important means for students to improve their theoretical cognition, understand the development of the industry and clarify their future learning direction. The internship has become an important part of teaching in Higher Education Institutions, and it is also a task that students must complete to obtain an academic certificate and degree certificate. In order to improve the professional skills of the staff and the efficiency of staff recruitment, the hotel also actively establishes partnerships with universities to establish internship bases and hire interns with the expectation of retaining these interns for future employment at the hotel industry. In this research, 118 students who have finished their internship were selected for investigation and study. These students had a six-month internship in four-star or five-star hotels in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Jinan, and so on. This research studies the factors affecting students' internship satisfaction by employing questionnaires. The findings of the study showed that the interns were very dissatisfied with the internship salary, labor intensity, night shifts, space for job advancement, and the society's attitude toward hotel attendants and that the students' employment intentions in the hotel industry were very low after the internship. This study argues that hotels should increase students' internship wages, appropriately reduce labor intensity, reduce the times of night shifts, give students the chance of priority promotion, and give them more humanistic care to improve the employment rate of hospitality management students in the hospitality industry and achieve sustainable development of human resources in the hospitality industry.

Normative Consideration on Purchase Decision
Authors: Murtini Sri
Published: April 2022

The theory of planned behavior is a development of the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen, 1991). Basically the individual behavior of every human being is influenced by individual intentions (behavior intention). Behavioral intentions are influenced by three components, namely attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control (Madden et al., 1992). Attitude is a positive or negative feeling of a person's belief in a behavior. Subjective norm is an individual's emotional perception that assesses the importance of the behavior to be carried out. Perceived behavioral control is an individual's perception of obstacles in carrying out a behavior. This study uses a bibliometric literature review approach with a sample mapping literature of 15 articles regarding planned behavior theory approaches reference articles from 2020 - 2021 under Scopus indexed journal. Universally, the results of this literature study state two propositions and hypotheses (e.g., Firstly, the theoretical implication states that there is a robust theoretical correlation between the theory of Planned behavior on purchase decisions; secondly, the correlation of planned behavior theory in aspects of management (e.g., marketing, Technology, Health Management, and HRM) make a positive contribution as a grounded theory to explain antecedent variables and their correlation to other approaches)

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Disorder may be a multifactorial reproductive issue and a leading cause of female infertility around the world. Confirmations have appeared that Oxidative Stress and diminished antioxidant status are often connected with PCOS. Oxidative stretch (OS) which plays a key part within the pathogenesis of CVD has also been documented in obese women with PCOS. Oxidative stress may have a part within the pathophysiology of PCOS and impact female reproductive system leading to infertility but the exact cause of OS in PCOS isn't totally understood. Objective: To determine the levels of Glucose, Malondialdehyde, serum insulin and insulin resistance in non-obese and obese PCOS women. Material and Methods Study design: Case Control Settings: Lady Atchison Hospital Lahore Duration: Six months i.e. 1st January 2021 to 30th June 2021 Data Collection procedure: Case control study was conducted to analyzed 100 PCOS patients and 100 controls. Fasting plasma glucose was measured. Insulin resistance was calculated by HOMA-IR. Malonaldehyde is determined as Thiobarbituric corrosive reactive substances Insulin was assessed by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Results: The levels were higher of serum glucose in both obese and non-obese PCOS patients. Serum levels of insulin in obese PCOS patients were high as compared to non-obese PCOS patient. The level of CRP is in the higher side in PCOS patients whether obese or non-obese when it compared to control ones. The level of MDA also on the higher side in PCOS patients whether obese or non-obese when it compared to control ones Conclusion: Within the present study, we found expanded oxidative stress and low review inflammation shown by raised levels of MDA and CRP in ladies with polycystic ovary syndrome irrespective of obesity. They can be utilized as markers for women PCOS. In any case, the serum insulin levels and IR in non-obese patients with PCOS in spite of the fact that expanded in connection to BMI balanced controls, the values were inside the reference range.

Objective: The goal of this research was to use optical coherence tomography to assess the prevalence of diabetic macular edoema and to determine the impact of systemic results and risk factors on the progression of DME. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional research was carried out at the Department of Ophthalmology, Chandka Medical College & Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University Larkana. Patients were asked to fill out questionnaires about their health and lifestyle habits like smoking and alcohol consumption as well as their hemoglobin A1C and lipid profiles, as well as the duration of their diabetes, and the type of diabetes they had. There was an investigation into the link between systemic findings and DME Results: A total of 150 cases met the study's eligibility requirements. Males comprised 84 (56%) of the 150 participants, while females comprised 66 (44%). Sixty-five patients (43.33%) tested positive for DME, while 85 patients (56.66%) tested positive for DR. DME participants had HbA1c levels of 9.39 ± 1.67percent, whereas participants without DME had levels of 7.02 ± 3.23 percent and p=0.326; but no connection was found between the two measurements. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean serum creatine concentrations in cases with and without DME (p=0.011). For DME, a statistically significant difference (P-value = 0.001) was found between normal-albuminuric, microalbuminuric, and macroalbuminuric patients. Using the DME frequency in phakic and pseudophakic eyes as a guide, figure 2 below illustrates the results. Conclusions: Diabetic macular edema was seen in 43.33% of cases in the current study. An OCT-based study revealed that DME is common in Larkana Sindh. Regulating DME risk factors can help prevent or limit the development of DME, and treatment response may be improved.

Authors: Quliti Khalid W. Al- , Alhujeily Rakan M. , Aljarbou Obaid M.
Published: April 2022

Background: COVID 19, which can lead to neurological complications including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), has caused a challenging worldwide pandemic. We aim to highlight the clinical, radiologic and laboratory characteristics, as well as functional outcomes of patients with COVID-19, who either presented with ICH or subsequently developed ICH. Methods: Related PubMed articles and studies on ICH and COVID-19 (published from January 2020 to October 2021, were searched. Our inclusion criteria included all articles written in English, involving COVID-19 patients confirmed via PCR test and admitted to hospital or ICU, and large ICH on neuroimaging. Results: We collected 23 published studies with an association between COVID-19 and ICH, focusing on the clinical profile, neuroimaging findings and management. The risks for ICH includes comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and malignancy, and anticoagulation therapy. In one study parenchymal haemorrhages with mass effect and herniation showed a very high mortality rate and most of those patients received either a therapeutic or prophylactic dose of anticoagulates prior to ICH discovery. Conclusion: ICH and COVID-19 are rare but with high morbidity and mortality. Thus, it is important to recognize early those patients at high risk of having ICH, mainly those patients with comorbidities and on anticoagulation therapy, to improve health care outcomes.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is one of the most prevalent differential diagnosis for acute abdomen. Ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation.We intended to compare ultrasound findings as a diagnostic tool with pathology findings in patients with appendicitis who had undergone appendectomy in this study. Methods and Materials: A total of 150 patients with abdominal pain were studied in this research. Following confirmation of the diagnosis, these patients underwent surgery. SPSS Version 26 software was used to record and evaluate all demographic information, kind of underlying disease (if any), and duration of symptoms, clinical findings, pre-operation sonography findings and type of treatment and surgery. Results: The study included 150 patients, with 53.3 percent of them being female and the rest being male. Pathologically positive patients made up 78 percent of the cases analyzed. The highest sonographic finding was 6mm Appendix in terms of sonographic data (37.3 percent). The retrocecal type of the appendix was the most frequent anatomical form, accounting for 63.3 percent of all appendixes. Pathology results and sonography observations of peri-appendiceal fluid collection and peri-appendiceal fat inflammation differ significantly. The pathology findings and the ultrasonography observation of 6mm > Appendix were not significantly different. Conclusion: Inflammation of the appendix wall without necrosis and an increase in the size of the appendix (>6 mm) are the key ultrasound findings in support of a diagnosis of uncomplicated appendicitis.

Humankind on our planet is under high pressure at present, facing an alarming pandemic in the form of coronavirus infection 2019 (Covid-19), which is known to be stimulated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2). Covid-19 can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Due to the minimal treatments or research, it is essential to consider therapeutic strategies with immunomodulatory effects. According to past studies, supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to minimize or even prohibit respiratory infections in some situations, according to some studies. Recent research has also demonstrated an association concerning vitamin D imbalance and adverse COVID-19 outcomes. It is a debatable situation because vitamin D deficiency is an important health issue worldwide. There may be a benefit in supplementing the low vitamin D levels in COVID-19 infected persons to assist in preventing the disease from more complicating matters. Covid-19 may benefit from vitamin D's immunomodulatory properties, and a comprehensive examination of the effects of vitamin D on Covid-19 is outlined in this brief review.

Background and objectives: While the defect has been studied extensively in Pakistan, there have been just a few of research focusing on KPK populations. Because of this, the goal of this study was to identify neonatal congenital heart disease in Pakistani children. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted in Sheikh Zayed Medical College during June 2021 to November 2021. Echocardiography was used to diagnose congenital heart disease in 1683 neonates who reported to the outpatient department (OPD) with a variety of ailments. Results: Out of 1683 babies, a total of 303 (or 18%) had a congenital heart condition. It was found that 62.5 per cent of people infected with the virus were men, while 37.5% of them were women. 78 per cent of the cases included infants between the ages of one and three months. Patients described a variety of symptoms they were experiencing. Asthma, pneumonia, and cyanosis were the most prevalent causes of death (4 per cent). The great majority of patients had the cyanotic congenital cardiac disease (98 per cent). (77.9 per cent), followed by PDA (11.5 per cent), ASD (7.9 per cent), TOF (0.9 percent), and aortic stenosis (0.9 per cent) were the most common congenital heart defects observed in the study. (Aortic stenosis was the least common disease) (2.2 per cent). Conclusion: To detect cardiac murmurs in our newborn population, the doctors in our paediatric outpatient clinics must increase their performance. This may result in a significant decrease in sales.

Aim: This study was carried out to examine the core strength of athletes and sedentary people between the ages of 13-18. Methods: 200 male athletes from Samsun and 51 sedentary men who did not do any sports participated in this study. The Plank Fitness Test was applied to measure core strength and the time they could stand without disturbing the plank position was recorded. IBM SPSS Statistics 21 package program was used in the analysis of the data. Before the analysis of the data, Shapiro-Wilk normality test was applied and it was determined that the data did not show normal distribution (p<0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the averages of core duration between the groups. Results: According to the findings obtained in the study, a significant difference was found when the durations of the groups in the core test were examined [X2(2) =92,158, p<.05]. This finding shows that the core strength between the groups is different according to the branch. When the averages of the groups are examined, it is determined that the branch with the highest core duration is judo (190.53 sec.), followed by taekwondo (158.18 sec.), football (158.01 sec.), sedentary (107.73 sec.) and basketball (69.55 sec.) groups, respectively. In addition, it is seen that the results obtained in core times and the results of training age and body mass index values are similar. Conclusion: According to the results of our study, it is noteworthy that those who do individual sports have higher core scores than those who do team sports and sedentary. We think that this difference is due to the fact that the concentration is constantly high in individual sports and the techniques performed accordingly require more core strength. In addition, we can say that the fact that sedentary people get more core points than basketball players is due to the fact that the training age of the participants and the body mass index values of the basketball players are higher than the other participants. In the light of these results, we think that more core training should be included, especially in sports that require high technical skills and strength.

For the statistical analysis and interpretation of the data, p<0,05 significance level was taken into consideration. It was found that the mean values of athletes were statistically higher compared to sedentary people in all Leadership dimensions depending of sportiveness factor (p<0.05) while again the mean values of athletes were statistically higher compared to sedentary people in all dimensions except Impartiality within authenticity dimensions (p<0.05). Depending on the age factor, it was determined that the mean value of the 18-21 age group in the Group sub-dimension of the Leadership dimension was statistically higher compared to the 26 and older age group (p<0.05). In all of the authenticity dimensions, it was determined that the values decreased as the age group increased and this change was statistically significant (p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between the leadership and authenticity values, and it was determined that the authenticity increased at the same rate as the leadership characteristics increased. In the light of these findings, it can be said that women are more authentic and unbiased compared to men, the leadership and authenticity values of the athletes are more positive compared to sedentary people, the mean values of the authenticity dimension decrease statistically as the age group increases, and there is a positive relationship between the leadership and authenticity values of the students. It can be said that this situation observed between women and men may be due to the responsibilities and roles imposed on women and men in society, sportive life has a positive effect on the leadership and authenticity characteristics, and the increase in leadership and authenticity characteristics will affect each other positively.
