The school textbook has always been the most important tool for organizing the educational process. Many studies by Kazakhstani scholars have been devoted to the issue of the quality of Kazakhstani textbooks. However, most of the research primarily focuses on the verbal component of textbooks, while their visual design is often underestimated. This suggests that the school textbook is not considered a holistic multimodal object, each element of which (both verbal and non-verbal) is intended to contribute to developing students' multimodal literacy. Since the development of educational literature today is carried out not only by scholars but also by practicing educators, there is a need to study teachers' professional attitudes toward the multimodality of textbooks. The article employs a survey method to investigate teachers' evaluative perception of the visual design of Russian language textbooks for the 5th grade from the publishers “Mektep” and “AEO NIS”. The authors found out that teachers transfer their negative attitude towards the verbal component of the textbook to its non-verbal aspect, poorly understanding the didactic potential of the multimodality of the textbook, which hinders their successful work in shaping and developing students' multimodal literacy. In light of the insufficiently high ranking of Kazakhstani students in international studies such as PIRLS and PISA, the results obtained in the article acquire special relevance. Based on the conducted analysis, the authors propose recommendations for solving the identified problem.

The article is devoted to the study of Russian and Kazakh phraseological units, which are products of linguistic folk consciousness as the materialization of the experience of generations and individual representatives of the ethnic group. It is revealed that the phraseological fund of a language records and reflects the social and cultural experience of a particular community, and is reflected both in the universal, common to all humanity, and in the unique, national-cultural picture of the world. The conceptual and phraseological aspect of the study of stable phrases through the national cultural code is highlighted in the light of modern linguocultural research, and a comparative description of phraseological units of the Kazakh and Russian languages is provided. The expediency of conducting experimental studies (questionnaires) is substantiated to reveal the degree of assimilation of phraseological units by recipients and the effectiveness of their use in speech. An educational longread has been created as a tool for digital linguodidactics in the study of Russian and Kazakh phraseological units, effective methods for introducing phraseological units into speech have been selected. The materials presented in the article can contribute to the construction of a productive intercultural dialogue, in which it is important not only to understand the language of another people, but also to master the cultural values of this people, perceive their national specifics, and assimilate those components that make up the national cultural code of the picture of the world under study.

The article provides an overview of current issues related to the insufficient level of astronomical literacy of schoolchildren and provides test data conducted among first-year students of the University. The study also emphasizes international experience, including the US initiative to integrate astronomy into educational programs, highlighting the importance of this discipline in shaping a unified worldview of students. The article provides recommendations for changing the content of the astronomy course, taking into account the identified problems and modern educational needs. The methodological basis of the study includes the dialectical method of cognition and the system-integrated approach. Changes in the content of the astronomy course are justified and specific measures are proposed to improve the quality of astronomical education in schools. The results of the study are aimed at developing effective methods for the formation of astronomical knowledge in high school students and improving their general scientific literacy. This article discusses the methodology for developing skills of critical perception of scientific information in the process of teaching astronomy in secondary school. It is suggested that, without weakening the consistency of the course, some materials should be attributed to the variable component. During the research, the stages of critical perception are developed, which are performed based on astronomical knowledge. The basis for the practical implementation of the proposed methodology was the introduction of a system of didactic unity into the learning process. A model of the methodology for the formation of critical perception of schoolchildren in astronomy lessons has been developed. To prevent the formation of information nihilism in the process of teaching astronomy, it is proposed to introduce students to information resources that provide reliable information on astronomy and astrophysics. It is proved that it is necessary to cultivate an attitude by the information of astronomical content received outside of school. To this end, an introduction would be correct, since, firstly, it is necessary to inform about the essence of production and not only scientific, but also scientific knowledge, and secondly, to criticize several common misconceptions, as well as scientific teachings on the relevant topic from the side of science. It is recommended to use the results of the study in the process of teaching astronomy in secondary school.

This article discusses the linguistic foundations of the formation of pragmatic competence of students. A review of the history of the formation and study of the term “pragmatic competence” is provided. Similar and related terms with this term are also analyzed, as well as the views and conclusions of domestic and foreign linguists, methodologists, and scholars. To develop a methodology for the formation of pragmatic competence of students, it is crucial to find out its theoretical and methodological foundations; therefore the purpose of this article is to identify the linguistic features of this issue. It is known that the indicator of the personal quality of schoolchildren is equivalent to the indicator of their socialization. The totality of the knowledge, skills, and abilities formed in a child will have a significant influence on their correct and appropriate socialization within their environment in the future. The existence of a close relationship between linguistic, communicative, and pragmatic competencies requires the use of complex methods in solving their common tasks. The study found that the concept of competence has been studied from different perspectives. The main characteristics and indicators of pragmatic competence are established, as well as the concepts of their manifestations in the language environment are presented. The influence of new trends in the field of linguistics on the formation of pragmatic competence is also considered. Several methods that can be used when teaching the Kazakh language are examined. An attempt has been made to find language solutions that contribute to the development of pragmatic competence.

Authors: Batra Pranjali , Dhiman Neetu Rani , Hussain Ibrahim , Kumar Anand , Joshi Deepika
Published: October 2024

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV). The clinical manifestations of DENV infection range from mild febrile illness to severe dengue shock syndrome and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Recently, its neurological manifestations have been reported. The mechanisms of neurological complications in DENV infection are often attributed to neurotropism or may be immune-mediated. A double-doughnut sign is a radiological pattern of signal changes in the bilateral thalami, resembling a doughnut. Although this sign has been reported with dengue encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, and other neurotropic infections, its co-occurrence with mixed movement disorders is rare. We report a case of dengue encephalitis involving a spectrum of movement disorders in the form of jaw opening dystonia, stereotypies, parkinsonism, and tremors during recovery. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral thalami involvement with a double-doughnut sign. The patient was managed with pulse steroid therapy and benzodiazepines and showed gradual improvement in symptoms. Movement disorders with DENV infection are rare and self-limiting.

Objective: To compare the analgesic effects of intravenous paracetamol versus ketorolac to control pain after hip surgery.
Methodology: This prospective comparative study was conducted at Ali Medical Centre Islamabad from Dec 2022-Dec 2023.  One hundred and eighteen (n=118) patients who underwent hip surgeries were included in this study. Patients were equally distributed into two groups. In group A, intravenous Paracetamol was administered for post-surgery analgesia. In group B, intravenous ketorolac was utilized for pain relief. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain in both groups at 2, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-hours post-surgery. Collected data was analyzed using the SPSS version 23.
Results:  One hundred and eighteen (n=118) patients had a mean age of 61.5±0.5 years. 43(36.4%) patients were male and 75(63.6%) patients were female. Significant pain (VAS score >4) in Group A at 2, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-hours post-surgery was present in 29(49.1%), 9(15.2%), 9(15.2%), 7(11.8%), and 18(30.5%) patients respectively. In Group B, the significant pain (VAS score >4) was recorded at the same time intervals, in 6(10.1%), 4(6.7%), 2(3.3%), 1(1.6%), and 3(5.0%) patients respectively. The mean doses of rescue analgesia required in Group A was 1.3±0.5 and in Group B, it was 0.3±0.6 (p-value ? 0.001).
Conclusion: Intravenous ketorolac provides better analgesia than paracetamol after hip surgery. Moreover, doses of rescue analgesia required with intravenous paracetamol were more as compared to ketorolac.

Published: October 2024

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of non-invasive methods in detecting hepatic steatosis among potential liver donors.
Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 67 potential liver donors, recruited via consecutive non-probability sampling over a two-year period (2021-2023). Data collection involved a semi-structured questionnaire covering demographics and biochemical indicators like serum bilirubin, cholesterol levels, ALT, AST, platelets, INR, and GGT. Hepatic steatosis was assessed using Fasting Lipid Profile, Fibroscan/Shearwave ultrasonography, and Liver Attenuation Index (LAI) from CT scans. Descriptive statistics were applied, and gender-based variations in biochemical markers, CAP, and LSM were analyzed using independent t-tests. Chi-square tests evaluated gender differences in steatosis identified by pathology and CAP. A significance level of P < 0.05 was used.
Results: Of the 67 donors, 49 were males, with a mean age of 30.1 ± 8.8 years. Pathology revealed mild steatosis in 35 and moderate steatosis in 5 donors. Ultrasound showed normal liver echotexture in 47 subjects, while 18 had fatty liver. CAP findings indicated mild steatosis in both genders, with females showing higher values (P = 0.02) and more advanced steatosis (P < 0.01). Mean LSM was 4.6 ± 1.53 kPa, indicating normal liver stiffness. LAI findings suggested 37 donors required further evaluation. Among overweight donors, 22% had advanced steatosis compared to 14% in the healthy-weight group.
Conclusion: Ultrasound-directed CAP, LSM, and BMI are effective non-invasive tools for diagnosing hepatic steatosis in potential liver donors.

Authors: Surekha Ramesh Raut  , Amol suresh Velapure  , Dinesh Dattatraya Rankhamb
Published: October 2024

Central to this AIIoT approach is the implementation of machine learning algorithms that can process vast amounts of data generated from the sensors. These algorithms can identify patterns and anomalies that might indicate wear and tear or incipient failures in critical systems. For example, vibration sensors on trains can detect irregularities in wheel dynamics, while track-side monitoring systems can check for track integrity. By integrating these insights into a centralized health monitoring platform, railway operators are not only able to understand the current health status of their assets but also make informed decisions about maintenance schedules and resource allocation. Moreover, the innovative use of edge computing in this AIIoT framework allows for localized data processing, reducing latency and enabling immediate responses to critical situations. This is crucial in a railway environment where timely interventions can prevent accidents and improve service reliability. Additionally, the combination of AIIoT with cloud computing creates opportunities for advanced data analytics and machine learning models that can continuously improve their accuracy over time as more data becomes available. In essence, this novel AIIoT approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also aligns with broader initiatives aimed at making rail transport more sustainable by reducing unnecessary maintenance trips and optimizing resource utilization. The system informs the decision based on Track condition, speed of train, train condition to the authority.

Published: October 2024

An enormous change is taking place in the agriculture industry as a result of the introduction of the Internet of Things (AIIoT), which is powered by artificial intelligence and provides farmers with unparalleled automation capabilities and insights. The purpose of this research is to present a comprehensive review of artificial intelligence and the internet of things (AIIoT) in smart agriculture, focussing on its applications, benefits, and consequences for decision-making. The concept of smart agricultural decision-making refers to a breakthrough method that enables farmers to optimise their farm operations while also making decisions that are well-informed. Farmers are able to increase crop yields while simultaneously reducing costs and hazards when they make use of advanced analytics, real-time data, and decision-making tools. The development of smart agriculture will result in farmers having increased decision-making authority, which will ultimately lead to an agricultural sector that is more sustainable and productive. The Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) in smart agriculture is a cutting-edge technology that has the potential to be a game-changer in terms of how we produce and consume food. Farmers may be able to improve agricultural yields and quality, streamline operations, and contribute to a food supply chain that is more efficient and sustainable if they use artificial intelligence and the internet of things. In spite of the fact that there are still certain problems that need to be cleared up, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers numerous advantages for smart agriculture, and its implementation is anticipated to increase in the years to come. The KSK technique, also known as the Knowledge-Sensors-Knowledge approach, is a suggestion made by Dr. Kutubuddin S. Kazi, who is also using his name. The output of the KSK technique results in an accuracy of 99.9% and a recall of 97.9%, respectively.

Considering that the egg products of purebred chickens of farmers in waterfront villages have not been able to meet the standard needs of around 20% of the local market needs, so that purebred chicken eggs are imported from outside the region to meet egg needs. The lack of supply from within this area is not able to meet local needs, making the opportunities for the waterfront village community to develop laying hen farm management very wide open. This research is to find out the Perspective of Islamic Business Ethics on the implementation of Chicken Farm Management. The research method used is qualitative research with sample determination. The key informant in this study is a chicken farmer in Pinggir Air. Non-key informants are people who are considered to know the problem being researched. The result of this study is an indicator of the management of chicken farms in Pinggir Air Village, this chicken farming business uses land and personal capital partly from loans from conventional banks. This chicken farming marketing system uses a direct marketing system. The perspective of Islamic business ethics on the implementation of chicken farm management in Pinggir Air Village has fully applied the principles of Islamic business ethics based on unity (monotheism or unity) by not leaving the essence of worship to God, as well as establishing a balance in determining fair egg prices for all consumers and being responsible and honest in determining and maintaining egg quality.

Background: The growing need for antiretroviral drugs across the country is a critical issue for universities and their wider communities. Yet, little is known about student knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding access to antiretroviral therapy in university environments and the steps that universities take to better support students’ well-being. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of students regarding access to antiretroviral therapy at the University of Technology (UoT) in KwaZulu-Natal. Method: A qualitative exploratory descriptive design was employed guided by the theory of reasoned action by Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen (1975) as a framework for the study. Ethics approval (IREC 284/22) and gatekeeper permission were granted by the UoT concerned. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were purposively selected based on their availability until the data saturation was reached. Data was collected between March and May 2023 using online and face to-face semi-structured interviews, with 20 undergraduate students from one campus located in the uMsunduzi local municipality. Rigor for the study was ensured through the observant of the four principles of trustworthiness whch are of trustworthiness which are credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. Data were thematic ally analysed guided by the six steps of qualitative data analysis as described by-Braun and Clarke 2006) Results: The study found that practices performed or missed by the UoT or campus clinic and/or a student affected student access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The five main themes that emerged from data analysis included: Current practices regarding accessing ART, Knowledge regarding access to ART in the UoT, Access points for ART, Attitude and perception, and Factors that influence access to ART. While all participants agreed that they had been exposed to HIV/AIDs education including ART, the extent of exposure varied from student to student. The discussion around the ART access points revealed that students were aware of those points, though there were challenges encountered by other students when utilising the access points. iv Conclusion: The overall result confirmed that students from the UoT under study have positive attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS in general and access to ART. Moreover, participants recommended access to ART on all HEI campus clinics, including the campus where this study took place because the campus clinic facilities are conveniently located on campus, safe, provide greater confidentiality and privacy, and limited disruption to academic activities

Background: Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient for the health and well-being of infants and children, and is mainly responsible for good vision growth and development. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) occurs due to a diet that lacks sufficient amount of vitamin A, and is common in developing countries where there is food insecurity. Vitamin A deficiency can result in night blindness, xeropthalmia, increased morbidity and mortality of children under five years old. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends supplementation with a high dose of vitamin A supplementation (VAS) oral drops to children from 6 to 59 months, in countries where deficiency is a concern. However, the programme is not reaching all targeted children, leaving them at risk of suffering from preventable illnesses. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices of caregivers regarding VAS for children below five years old, in selected primary health care (PHC) facilities in Ugu District. Primary health care facilities were stratified according to different municipalities, and then those with the highest headcount of children under five years old were purposively sampled. Respondents from those PHCs were sampled using systematic random sampling. Data were collected through the use of a questionnaire and checklist and analysed using SPSS version 26. Results: Respondents’ level of knowledge was limited and they lacked vital information regarding VAS. Respondents indicated a positive attitude towards VAS as they perceived it to be an important and effective strategy for their children. Overcrowding and long queues of health facilities were noted as a challenge that could contribute towards low coverage of VAS. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, there is a need for effective and comprehensive health education on VAS. Use of mass media to accentuate critical aspects of VAS as it reaches large audience at a faster rate, and is commonly used by young mothers. One of the recommendations is for task shifting from professional nurses to integrated management of childhood illnesses by using Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses trained enrolled nurses to relieve the heavy load from professional nurses and reduce the long queues so that mothers do not forego this service.
Radiation therapists’ experiences of disruptions in radiotherapy service delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic at public oncology hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) rapidly impacted all human life following its escalation to a pandemic status in early March 2020. This viral pandemic severely affected the world’s developed and developing countries, resulting in disruptions within healthcare delivery systems, including radiotherapy. Although the government guidelines and restrictions to mitigate the risk of viral transmission were implemented, radiotherapy departments were amongst multiple departments forced to promptly adjust in order to encourage continuous clinical care. However, to provide this service, radiation therapists work closely together and in close proximity to their patients. These inherent working conditions resulted in changes in the number of treatments for some patients, clinical working patterns and conventional radiotherapy practice during the pandemic era. This challenge was faced by numerous radiotherapy departments globally, hence there is a need to explore how radiation therapists in South Africa coped to ensure continuous clinical service delivery. Aim The aim of this study was to explore radiation therapists’ lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions on their radiotherapy service delivery at public oncology hospitals in the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province, and ultimately recommend strategies to support them to cope with the changes due to the pandemic. Methodology To conduct this research, the researcher employed a constructivist paradigm and a qualitative phenomenological approach. Criterion purposive sampling was used to select two public oncology hospitals, whereby the critical case sampling selected a radiotherapy manager as well as simulator, planning and treatment machine radiation therapists from each to constitute a minimum sample size of ten. Findings The study interview data was analysed using Colaizzi’s Seven-step Method of data analysis to identify themes which were then presented as findings. This resulted in four major themes that revealed the radiation therapists’ common narrative during the COVID-19 pandemic as: Changes in hospital settings, working conditions, radiation therapists’ practices and wellbeing; barriers to radiotherapy service delivery; facilitators to radiotherapy service; and support needed. Conclusion and recommendations In exploring radiation therapists’ lived experiences of disruptions in radiotherapy service delivery in a developing country such as South Africa, there can be strategies that aid in supporting radiation therapists to continue providing clinical service delivery. As part of the recommendations to attain this, the study brought forth managerial training, similar study conduction to validate study, interviewing of patients, psychological support to employees concerned, educational programmes for both patients and employees, remote treatment planning for radiation therapists, as well as routine screening for concerned employees.
