Published: July 2024

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the disorders that threaten the learning quality of the students. The study aims to identify the degree of application of educational accommodations for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in primary schools from teachers and parents' perspectives. Data have been collected from two samples: 70 primary school teachers and 62 parents of students with ADHD in the Eastern Province and Riyadh, who were chosen randomly. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the teachers’ and parents’ perspectives. In the degree of application of educational adaptations for this category of students, it came in favor of teachers. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the degree of application of adaptations according to the gender variable, which came in favor of female teachers, and the results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between schools in terms of supported services for application of educational adaptations for students with ADHD.

Abstract . The use of social media advertising as a means of marketing communication is gaining strategic importance for companies operating in Georgia. Social media-advertising research is all the more relevant for those firms that are trying to deliver a marketing "message" to a wide audience with minimal costs and brand positioning in the market. The relevance of the problem is determined by the fact that the influence of social media advertising on the development of Georgian companies, their branding process and the effectiveness of the returns received from the investment of their marketing activities has not been properly studied.
The purpose of the research is to develop the best mechanism for using social media advertising for companies operating in Georgia, to determine the most favorable form for use as a marketing communication tool based on user behavior.
Methods of data collection and observation were used to develop the paper. We used the collection method to assess the possibility of using social media advertising by companies operating in Georgia, and the observation method - to determine the potential of their social media space, based on which the possibilities of increasing the effectiveness of companies through social media advertising were identified.
As a result of the research, it is clear that Georgian companies use social media advertising to improve their brand, to attract a new target audience. Social media advertising has a strategic importance in increasing the effectiveness of companies operating in Georgia at all stages of their operation. Accordingly, we can refer to the complex combination of traditional and electronic businesses as a result of using social media advertising, which will help to increase the marketing efforts of companies operating in Georgia and, as a result, their competitiveness and operational efficiency.

Abstract. Economic awareness is the primary foundation for the human factor’s participation in the rapid and irreversible processes of the modern world, which should be formed from the very early childhood education. Economic awareness and interest in connected topics began to emerge around the time that the concepts of "economic awareness," "economic culture," "economic education," and so on were first introduced into scientific literature.
According to the hypothesis of this study, children can develop economic awareness through the use of children's literature, including fairy tales.
In general, the following three components are especially essential when considering the development of economic consciousness among children: Determination of the appropriate age of children; Identification of educational resources; Development of the methodology for forming economic awareness.
In this study the theoretical framework for the research was developed based on Georgian and foreign scientific literature, as well as existing studies in the field of education; the research object was defined; and a mixed methodology of socioeconomic and humanities research was used to analyze the fairy tales and reach conclusions relevant to the research objectives.
The work is based on research conducted in private and public kindergartens across Georgia, with both educators and children participating. Furthermore, interviews with early education experts at several Georgian higher education institutions were conducted and the research findings provided.

Hérnia de Spiegel bilateral: relato de caso e revisão de literatura
Authors: Zica Maria Clara Rocha , Barros Guilherme Fleury Alves , Rodrigues Bruno Piffer , Klauss Talia Eduarda Zucchi , Silva Sophia Lara Ferreira
Published: July 2024

As hérnias de Spiegel são formadas a partir de um defeito na parede abdominal, através da aponeurose spigeliana, entre a linha semilunar e a borda lateral do músculo reto abdominal (Vieira et al., 2016). Por se tratar de uma protrusão de colo pequeno e fibroso, possui alto risco de encarceramento e estrangulamento, sendo de grande interesse para a cirurgia, principalmente pela grande gama de diagnósticos diferenciais (Parreira et al., 2007). Por não apresentar sintomas característicos, é de difícil diagnóstico e, na maioria das vezes, ocorre por exclusão. O tratamento é essencialmente cirúrgico, com correção da hérnia e pode ter ou não a colocação de tela. As hérnias de Spiegel bilaterais são extremamente raras e poucos casos foram relatados na literatura (Socea et al., 2018). O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar um caso de hérnia de Spiegel bilateral, além de realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o assunto.

Published: July 2024

Considerando que o paraganglioma pancreático é uma neoplasia neuroendócrina extremamente rara e de difícil diagnóstico, este estudo tem como objetivo revisar a literatura recente sobre o tema. A análise inclui relatos de caso publicados nos últimos anos, focando nas características clínicas, métodos diagnósticos e abordagens terapêuticas. Observa-se que, apesar da variabilidade na apresentação clínica dos paragangliomas pancreáticos, técnicas de imagem como a ressonância magnética e a tomografia computadorizada são cruciais para o diagnóstico. O tratamento cirúrgico é a intervenção principal, e a análise molecular tem fornecido insights significativos sobre as bases genéticas desses tumores. Conclui-se que uma abordagem integrada e personalizada é essencial para o manejo eficaz do paraganglioma pancreático.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A esplenose, uma condição definida pela autoimplantação de tecido esplênico subsequente a trauma ou intervenção cirúrgica, pode ser equivocadamente diagnosticada como tumores estromais gastrointestinais (GIST). No presente estudo, relata-se um caso raro de esplenose que mimetiza um GIST, destacando os desafios diagnósticos e terapêuticos associados a essa condição. Materiais e métodos: Foi conduzido um estudo de caso de um paciente submetido à investigação de uma massa abdominal inicialmente suspeita de GIST. A revisão da literatura incluiu artigos científicos e revisões publicadas nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO e Cochrane, entre 2000 e 2023. Resultados e discussão: O paciente, com antecedentes de trauma abdominal, apresentou uma massa abdominal durante uma avaliação de rotina. Exames de tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética inicialmente indicaram a presença de GIST. No entanto, a cintilografia utilizando ácido ascórbico marcado revelou múltiplos nódulos sugestivos de esplenose. A confirmação diagnóstica foi obtida por meio de biópsia. Uma revisão da literatura identificou 35 casos de esplenose mimetizando GIST, enfatizando a importância da diferenciação entre essas condições para evitar procedimentos cirúrgicos desnecessários. Conclusões: A esplenose deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial de massas abdominais, especialmente em pacientes com histórico de trauma esplênico. Métodos de imagem não invasivos, como a cintilografia, desempenham um papel fundamental no diagnóstico preciso dessa condição. São necessários mais estudos para estabelecer diretrizes claras para a abordagem e manejo da esplenose.

Vaginal pessaries are used in gynaecology to treat utero-vaginal prolapse or urinary incontinence (pelvic floor disorders). However, self-administered or provider-administered per vagina insertion of herbal materials and concoctions is a practice prevalent amongst the low socioeconomic class of developing nations with poor access to good comprehensive health care. These oftentimes unhygienic and toxic materials may present with symptoms of immediate and or long-term complications. Asymptomatic cases may be forgotten only to be discovered incidentally. This study reports the case of a 47-year-old nullipara with amenorrhoea and infertility with an incidental finding of long forgotten intracervical herbal packing. The prolonged herbal pessary caused chemical vaginitis, scarring and subsequent cervical stenosis and amenorrhoea.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a memorable and challenging period for the global population, particularly for athletes. The ability to train outdoors and gather in groups became highly restricted and often prohibited, leading to adverse effects. Kabaddi athletes in Bali, Indonesia, were among those significantly impacted. This group had the potential to contribute champions to the national team. The aim of this study was to assess the arm muscle endurance of Denpasar Kabaddi athletes before and during the pandemic. This research is descriptive-quantitative in nature and employed purposive sampling, involving 15 core athletes. The endurance test consisted of performing pushups for one minute. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the average arm muscle endurance level of the athletes. Results indicated that before the pandemic, 100% of the athletes had good arm muscle endurance. During the pandemic, however, only 5 out of 15 athletes (33.33%) maintained a good level, while 10 athletes fell to a medium level. The study concluded that the arm muscle endurance of Denpasar male kabaddi athletes decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic by an average of 9.33 times per minute.

This study aims to analyse the self-confidence of wheelchair basketball, tennis, badminton, and archery athletes. This study uses a moderated regression analysis (MRA) approach, namely performance in training as independent variable, self-confidence as a dependent variable, and coach-athlete intimacy as a moderator. Sampling was done using total sampling at the open tournament championship. The wheelchair athletes involved were 20 basketball athletes, 15 tennis athletes, 15 badminton athletes, and 15 archery athletes age 29.98±2.4 with 11.37±1.2 years of training. The highest experience of the competition is that 37 athletes have participated at the national and international level. This study was conducted for six months from early June to November 2023. The data were collected using questionnaires that were confirmed and given before the match and semi-structured interviews to strengthen the discussion. The instrument consists of 57 items, and an Aiken V validity value of 0.863 and Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.708 were obtained. The results showed that performance in training influenced self-confidence (sig. 0.003 or p<0.05) and (R2 = 12.8%). Meanwhile, the coach-athlete intimacy can positively moderate the performance of the coach-athlete with self-confidence (sig. 0.000 or p<0.05) and (R2 = 47.2%). The results of this study suggest the involvement of government agencies to foster, develop, and facilitate all individuals with special needs. In addition, it is necessary to increase the competence of coaches through special training or by opening a coach study program for coaching people with disability at the university. Further research should consider the number of samples involved and how to collect data with a research design adapted to the circumstances but can produce accurate data.

Background and objectives: Obesity is a growing global health problem and is becoming a significant challenge in the clinical and public health fields. One of the main concerns is the impact on an individual's quality of life. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions, including physical activity and diet, in the management of obesity. Methodology: The selected studies involved a population of adults who were obese (aged 18 years and over) and had made lifestyle modifications through pattern changes, eating, physical activity, or both. A total of 324 articles were screened, of which 25 were duplicates. After a screening process for suitability, 261 articles were excluded. A further 27 articles were excluded due to inappropriate study design or incomplete data. A total of 11 full-text articles were then reviewed and included in our analysis. The results showed that participants who followed a milk-based diet recorded a significant decrease in body weight of -1.16 kg (confidence interval -1.66, -0.66 kg; p < 0.001) as well as a decrease in body fat mass of -1.49 kg (confidence interval -2.06, -0.92 kg; p < 0.001). Participants who adopted an alternate day fasting (ADF) eating pattern achieved an average weight loss of -0.9% ± 0.6% in the low weight loss group and -9.9% ± 1.1% in the low weight loss group. Meanwhile, participants who restricted calorie intake (Caloric Restriction/CR) recorded a weight loss of -1.3% ± 0.7% in the low weight loss group and -9.2% ± 1.2% in the weight loss group tall body. Combining approximately 175 minutes of intense physical activity per week with a controlled diet results in significant weight loss of up to 5%. In conclusion, this systematic review confirms that the most effective approach in the management of obesity in adults is a combination of strength and cardiovascular training of at least 175 minutes per week and a low-calorie diet tailored to the individual's metabolic needs and health condition.

Volleyball is perceived as a physically demanding sport that involves rapid changes in speed, deceleration, and abrupt alterations in movement direction. It has been emphasized that physiological attributes such as VO2max, PIF, PEF, and FVC play a crucial role in the athletic performance of individuals participating in dynamic sports, aiding them in effectively managing critical situations. Hence, the aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of endurance training on physiological parameters among volleyball athletes. A randomized controlled trial was carried out with 24 male players (mean age 21,58; SD±2,46 years). The assessment of physiological characteristics involved the utilization of a dry spirometer for VO2max measurement and the Multistage Fitness Test for assessing PIF, PEF, and FVC. A two-way Anova analysis was executed to ascertain any disparities in physiological parameters from pre-test to post-test. The results indicated notable variances in physiological traits (VO2max, PIF, PEF, and FVC) among volleyball participants following the implementation of the Tabata intervention regimen. These metrics are instrumental in enhancing physiological capabilities to attain superior athletic performances. When designing training regimens, it is imperative to consider physiological functional elements aligned with the specific demands of the sport.
Key words. VO2max; physiology; sport; exercise; Tabata training.

O programa de imunização infantil de 0 a 12 meses é considerado um investimento essencial pelo seu alto custo-efetividade e atuação significativa na prevenção de doenças. No cenário brasileiro há o oferecimento gratuito da vacinação pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, contudo, a eclosão da pandemia da COVID-19 promoveu uma crise de saúde global, repercutindo em milhares de mortes e desajustes nos serviços de saúde, principalmente sob a área da vacinação. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a cobertura vacinal de lactentes de 0 a 12 meses em Araguari, Minas Gerais, no período de 2017 a 2021. Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, descritivo e retrospectivo. O cálculo do estudo se deu pela quantidade de doses aplicadas por ano dividida pela quantidade de nascidos vivos no município no ano, dados que foram obtidos no DataSUS/TABNET no Sistema nacional de nascidos vivos (SINASC). Exceto pelo imunizante tríplice viral (SCR), todos apresentaram quedas, entre os anos de 2018 e 2019 até o ano de 2021. Todavia, ao analisar a regressão dos imunizantes com ao menos 01 dose aplicada por ano, tem-se uma tendência estacionária, exceto pela BCG que houve redução. Ademais, comparando os períodos de pré pandemia e pandemia da COVID-19, somente as vacinas BCG e MNGc apresentaram queda no período pandêmico. Conclui-se que a imunização é uma estratégia fundamental para promover a equidade em saúde, com isso a identificação de áreas com cobertura vacinal insuficiente é crucial para o sucesso do PNI em saúde pública.

IS PROVOCATION LEGAL?
Authors: Arsentieva Svetlana S.
Published: July 2024

The article deals with the problem of judicial practice — the lack of proper understanding by judges of the prohibition: to incite, incite, incite in direct or indirect form to commit illegal actions (provocations), which imposes an obligation on the courts to verify the legality of conducting an operational search event. This ban was introduced into the law "On Operational Investigative Activities" 12 years after its adoption. It can be assumed that it was the numerous abuses of law in the form of provocation under the "flag" of the operational search activities that forced the legislator to make such an addition. Significant additions of a procedural nature have been made to the substantive law, requiring mandatory verification by the inquirer, investigator, prosecutor, court, and the legality of the operational search activities, but these additions have not corrected the established investigative or judicial practice. This state of affairs, according to the author, is caused by a misunderstanding by judges of the purpose of criminal proceedings, enshrined in Article 6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in which there is no place for accusatory bias, but it is this "bias" that does not allow to see in a person (both offended and offending) human, is the main reason for cases of conviction of an innocent person in judicial practice.
EXEMPTION FROM CRIMINAL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH MILITARY SERVICE
Authors: Zhukova Tatyana G. , Dolgopolov Kirill A. , Zhukov Alexey P.
Published: July 2024

The article reflects the result of a scientific study of the provisions of legislation and doctrine that determine the content of the conditions under which criminal law measures are not applied to persons called up for military service during the period of mobilization or in wartime, as well as those imprisoned during the period of mobilization, wartime and (or) a martial law contract for military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, subject to their award or dismissal, on grounds specified by law. The relevance of such a study is predetermined primarily by the fact that the criminal law provisions in question were introduced into the Criminal Law quite recently. Provisions of Art. 78.1, 80.2 and part 3.1 of Art. 86 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are of a blanket nature, the conditions and procedure for exemption from criminal liability and the punishments provided for in them differ in many respects from the conditions that are typical for other circumstances of exemption from liability. The authors note that the decision of the federal executive authorities on the non-application of criminal liability measures in connection with military service to persons who have committed a crime, does not depend on what category, in accordance with Art. 15 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, this crime should be included. Exemption from criminal liability in connection with military service does not occur simultaneously, but involves at least two stages. The first is expressed in the suspension of the application of criminal legal measures to a person while he is serving, subject to control over him by the commander of a military unit or institution. The second is the final refusal to bring the person to criminal responsibility. The basis for the termination for a person of all criminal legal consequences of committing a crime in this case is one of the alternatives specified in the law. This is either the awarding of a state award to a serviceman or dismissal from military service due to reaching a certain age, or recognition of a person by a military medical commission as unfit for military service due to health reasons or due to the end of the mobilization period, the abolition (termination) of martial law and (or) the expiration of martial law time.

Published: July 2024

Pendahuluan : Salah satu jenis cacing yang dapat menginfeksi manusia adalah cacing parasit yang ditularkan melalui tanah (STH), yaitu cacing nematoda yang masuk ke dalam tubuh melalui jalur fekal-oral. Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, dan Strongyloides stercoralis adalah beberapa jenis cacing yang ada. Anemia defisiensi besi, pertumbuhan terhambat, malnutrisi, diare kronis, keterlambatan perkembangan, dan penurunan produktivitas kerja hingga 40% adalah beberapa masalah kesehatan yang dapat timbul akibat infestasi cacing ini. Bekerja sebagai petani merupakan salah satu pekerjaan yang memiliki risiko infeksi cacing yang cukup tinggi. Mencangkul, menanam, memupuk, dan memanen hanyalah beberapa dari sekian banyak pekerjaan yang dilakukan oleh petani. Kemungkinan infeksi cacing cukup besar untuk semua pekerjaan ini. Peneliti di Desa Sidoluhur, Kabupaten Sleman tengah memburu telur STH yang hinggap di kuku jari petani setempat. Metode: Metodologi yang digunakan adalah teknik deskriptif-analitis cross-sectional.

This qualitative study explores the multifaceted experiences of senior high school students engaged in online gaming, examining both the risks and benefits through their narratives. Using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 15 participants from Sto. Tomas National High School in Loreto, Agusan del Sur, Philippines, the study unveils three superordinate themes that drive gaming engagement: enjoyment as habitual behavior, social connection through friends, and gaming as a stress-relieving distraction. While gaming offers perceived benefits such as enhanced teamwork, self-confidence, and cognitive abilities, it also poses significant threats, including an unhealthy lifestyle leading to missed meals and irregular sleep patterns, as well as physical ailments like headaches and back pain. The study further reveals students’ susceptibility to gaming as a coping mechanism for stress and anger, highlighting the need for self-discipline and time management. These findings underscore the complex interplay between the allure and potential harm of online gaming, offering critical insights for educators, parents, and policymakers to foster a balanced digital environment that supports students’ well-being and academic success. Moreover, this study helps parents understand the risks and benefits of online gaming, including its impact on the social and emotional well-being of students’ online gamers. Additionally, the policymakers will help create engaging platforms that will help educate the public on policy matters about online gaming.

The profession of Library and Information Science (LIS) started as an interdisciplinary field of study. Generally speaking, LIS is a profession that deals with the organization and the universe of knowledge, creation, access, collection, and preservation and or packaging of information either in physical and digital formats to serve purposes such teaching, research, and legal documentations. This paper therefore looks at an assessment of academic lecturers (librarians) in South-East Nigeria to establish from among them, their realignment into the area of Archives and Records Management research in these academic institutions. To establish the extent to which they acquire degrees in this area and offer first degree, masters and PhD degrees in Archives and Records Management. The paper also tries to find out how many of these departments are named after Archives and records Management and to establish if the naming affects the progress significantly. In doing this, academic librarians in Abia State University, Imo State University, Enugu State University, Ebonyi State University and Anambra State University were studied as case study sites. The paper finds out that none (except in one case) of these academic librarians have PhD in Records Management, none of the universities studied named the department Archives and Records Management, none offers first degree and direct masters or PhD as a degree. The null hypothesis tested was rejected to agree that the naming affects the progress of the departments in the recent times as students are no longer fashionable to LIS as it were. The paper recommends that LIS schools should change as the demand changes and that academic librarians should start acquiring degrees in this area of research to increase the potential of sustainability. The paper concludes that the profession is stagnant in South- East Nigeria as no significant changes has been adopted by the Schools studied in either research or nomenclature of academic research output in this area.

Published: July 2024

This research is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative type of research with a literature review that attempts to describe the training model, learning concept, and ideal class form for Generation Z in Indonesia using the ADDIE Model approach. In this research, the author used various written sources such as articles, journals, and documents relevant to the study. This research shows that Generation Z are familiar with technology, like modern learning models with discussions in the form of dialogue, direct practice, and using digital access to deepen the material. This requires educators including trainers to adapt to create training with an environment suitable for the acceptance of Generation Z. The next research that is interesting to develop is the effectiveness of implementing the ADDIE Model in various training for Generation Z.

Product pricing is an important aspect of operating a business, especially for sari-sari store owners, who must set prices that attract customers, enhance sales performance, and produce profits. This study investigated the relationship between product pricing and the sales performance of sari-sari businesses in three barangays of Ozamiz City, Philippines that have been operating for three or more years each. The study used a quantitative research design and purposive sampling to identify respondents, focusing on sari-sari store owners who met the given criteria. Data were obtained using a researcher-made questionnaire, and analysis has been done using frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings indicate that product pricing is vital for generating profit. Additionally, both cost and customer demand showed a significant relationship with the sales performance of the stores. However, competition did not exhibit a significant relationship with sales performance. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend that sari-sari store owners carefully consider their pricing strategies, taking into account factors such as cost, customer demand, and competition, to maintain profitability. Furthermore, store owners could manage costs and meet customer demand to avoid sales losses. Future researchers are encouraged to explore other factors in the marketing mix not covered in this study or expand the study’s scope to different settings.
Digital Divide or Digital Bridge? Evaluating the Impact of ICT Integration in South Africa’s Rural Schools
Authors: Mkhonto Bhekumuzi Sitwell , Mubangizi Betty Claire
Published: July 2024

The advent of the knowledge economy necessitates the development of specific skills pertinent to 21st-century citizens, such as global competitiveness and the proficient use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for personal and economic advancement. In response, nations worldwide, both developed and developing, are reforming educational curricula and promoting the integration of ICTs in teaching and learning. South Africa is no exception and through policy initiatives aimed to enhance educational opportunities by equipping all schools with laptops and tablets by 2013. Rural schools were to be given particular attention through the development of eLearning. This study explores the alignment between eLearning policy directives and their implementation in rural schools. The research engaged five school principals and one district official, employing semi-structured interviews and document analysis as data collection methods. The findings reveal that teachers lack training to effectively integrate ICTs into educational practices. Despite a revised implementation strategy from 2013 to 2025, progress remains minimal and disproportionately favours smart schools within the province rather than a universal application. The study advocates for the KwaZulu-Natal education department to prioritise comprehensive ICT integration training for teachers across all educational phases. Furthermore, it recommends an expansive distribution of devices in form of tablets and laptops to include primary schools and calls for a national curriculum overhaul to meet the needs of the 21st-century learner. Teachers are also encouraged to proactively seek professional development opportunities independently of departmental offerings.
Safe Transfer of Ammonia in Pipelines: An Analysis of Risk
Authors: Li Xuanchen , Sin Siang Meng Ivan , Panikkar Sujith Bhaskara , Loh Tzu Yang
Published: July 2024

Humanity is currently confronted with unprecedented environmental challenges, prompting an urgent shift toward the widespread adoption of clean energy. Among the diverse alternatives, ammonia stands out as a highly promising candidate due to its relatively high volumetric energy density, advanced technical readiness level, and a well-established infrastructure with established standards. However, the safety of ammonia transport via pipelines demands particular attention, as several past accidents have shown. Given the inherent risks associated with ammonia pipeline accidents, a thorough safety analysis is essential, especially for densely populated countries like Singapore. While Singapore explores using ammonia, a detailed assessment of potential pipeline leaks is currently lacking. To address this, this study employed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using Phast software. Simulations modeled ammonia leaks at various pressures and weather conditions and the results highlighted the significant hazards of ammonia leaks, including toxicity and flammability. Notably, the potential hazardous zone resulting from these leaks could span up to 1,000 meters. Furthermore, the study proposes effective countermeasures based on insights derived from the simulations, offering valuable perspectives to enhance safety and efficiency in clean energy applications. These measures include the implementation of safety instrumented systems, among others. The results from this study lay the groundwork for future laboratory-based experiments aimed at improving the safety of ammonia pipelines.
