The Influence of English Interdisciplinary Teaching to the Results of English Study in Primary School
Authors: Yin Haixia
Published: April 2024

Nowadays, the demand for comprehensive talents is more and more urgent in recent society, while traditional subject teaching narrows the way to cultivate multiple talents. Separate subject teaching ignores the integrity of knowledge, making students learn scattered knowledge and not think from different points. One subject teaching, which means teachers only master the knowledge and skills in his or her subject field, is not conducive to the complete development of students. This study takes 500 fourth-grade primary school students in Linyi Dongxing Experimental School as the research objects, conducts a case study through a questionnaire method to explore the relevance between English interdisciplinary teaching and the results of English study as well as how the implementation of English interdisciplinary subject teaching influences English learning outcomes in the process of second language acquisition for fourth-grade primary school students. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square test are involved in this study to collect the data. The research shows that interdisciplinary English teaching in primary schools has a positive influence on English learning outcomes. Students improve their different English abilities during the implementation of interdisciplinary English teaching, such as abilities in reading, speaking, listening and writing as well as other abilities, such as painting, music, etc. This study is conducive to the development and implementation of English interdisciplinary teaching in primary school education and the improvement of students' core literacy and can provide other authors with some help and suggestions to promote the future development of this field.

The difference Diagnosis criteria for PTSD
Authors: Li Taiyu
Published: April 2024

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating mental health condition that significantly affects individuals who have experienced trauma. PTSD has substantial impact on mental, emotional, and physical well-being, encompassing emotional distress, impaired social functioning, cognitive deficits, adverse physical health outcomes, and even suicidal ideation. Early diagnosis of PTSD is vital, given its profound consequences. The diagnostic process is intricate and involves diverse criteria and assessment tools. This research explores these diagnostic methods, focusing on the criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of self-rating scales and a groundbreaking discovery related to saliva as a potential diagnostic marker for PTSD. The evolution of diagnostic criteria, diagnostic frameworks in the DSM-5 and ICD-11, self-rating scales like the PTSD Checklist (PCL), and the potential of saliva as a diagnostic criterion are discussed. These diagnostic tools offer valuable insights for the assessment and diagnosis of PTSD, enhancing treatment and support for affected individuals.

Authors: Zhao Yiyang
Published: April 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a worldwide health issue due to its increasing prevalence but limited pharmacologic effects. Besides traditional pharmacologic interventions, non-pharmacologic interventions are also very important. Music therapy (MT) is a long-established  therapy with good applicability to people with dementia. This article mainly studies the cognitive and psychological influences of music on AD patients, mainly in listening to music, singing and doing rhythmic exercise. The advancement of music therapy has brought new treatment options to people who suffer from Alzheimer's disease, which is a positive development for patients and their families, making it more likely that AD can be cured. This paper will reflect on the role and comparisons from previous research. In the research results, listening to music, singing, and doing rhythmic exercise all have varying degrees of relief and improvement in depression, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and fugue. This research is helpful for scholars to understand the effects the music therapy has on patients.
Effects of Parenting Styles on Anxiety
Authors: Yang Chenyue
Published: April 2024

Parenting styles were proved to have an impact on many aspects of children’s emotion and cognition. This paper tries to explores the impact of different parenting styles on anxiety in children and adolescents. It discusses three main parenting styles - authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative - and examines their effects on anxiety levels. The paper finds that authoritarian parenting, characterized by rigid regulations and lack of emotional support, can contribute to higher levels of anxiety in children. On the other hand, permissive parenting, which lacks defined boundaries and discipline, can also increase anxiety levels in children. In contrast, authoritative parenting, which combines firm guidelines with emotional support, has been found to lower anxiety levels in children. The paper concludes that understanding the effects of parenting styles on anxiety is crucial for promoting the well-being and mental health of children and adolescents. For future research, more studies could be conducted on the mechanisms of influence between parenting styles and anxiety.
An analysis of the Definition, Origin, Causes, and Effects of Altruism
Authors: Liu Chang
Published: April 2024

Starting from the definition of altruism, this paper first summarized "the view that altruistic behavior is jointly determined by genes and environment" through Rushton research results and gene-environment-related theories and introduced prosocial behavior to find out the commonality between prosocial behavior and altruistic behavior for joint research. Among the factors that affect the formation of altruism, this paper focuses on the role of culture, personality, and family environment. In this part, more mediating variables are used to analyze and speculate. In the part of culture, this paper divides culture into three parts: ideology and culture, agriculture, and religion. In personality, this paper mainly refers to the experiments of scholars such as Batson and Powell to explain the existence of altruistic personality and the factors affecting such personality. In the part of family environment, this paper believes that a good family environment is conducive to the formation of children's altruistic behavior. Finally, after consulting the relevant data to conclude that altruistic behavior will positively impact individuals, it is inferred that altruistic behavior will have the same positive impact on society as the impact on individuals.
The shadow of the algorithm: the ethical blind spot of artificial intelligence education
Authors: Li Zhenzhen
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the ethical blind spots of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of education, with a focus on algorithmic opacity, privacy issues, and societal biases. Regarding algorithmic opacity, we analyze its impact on the transparency and fairness of educational systems, advocating for the establishment of transparent algorithmic assessment standards. Subsequently, addressing privacy issues, the paper delves into aspects such as the collection and utilization of students' personal information, privacy breaches, protection of student rights, and data security and system vulnerabilities. When discussing societal biases, we focus on the potential inequalities reflected in algorithmic decision-making and propose strategies and methods to establish diverse and inclusive algorithm development teams and to break societal biases. Ethical review and regulatory recommendations are then presented, including transparent algorithmic assessment, privacy protection, diversity in team building, and interdisciplinary research. Finally, looking ahead, the paper calls for the introduction of advanced ethical review mechanisms, interdisciplinary research, public participation, and digital literacy cultivation to promote the sustainable development of AI in education. Through in-depth research and addressing ethical blind spots, we aim to establish a more just, transparent, and trustworthy AI education system, better serving students, educators, and society as a whole.
Parent’s Involvement in Homework: The Effects of Parental Reactions to Pupils’ Emotions on Academic Performance
Authors: Zhang Zengxia
Published: April 2024

In recent years, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China has implemented a "double reduction" policy to reduce the burdens of pupils from homework. However, the pupils still have to face great pressure from homework unavoidably due to the increasingly fierce competition and parents’ anxiety about children’s education. For parents, accompanying their children’s homework is not only an obligation but also a challenge, which has attracted more and more social attention. Generally, it is anticipated that there are several advantages if the parents can accompany their children when they are doing their homework. First, it can help form a good family learning atmosphere and imperceptibly affect children's learning attitude. Second, parents can provide targeted guidance according to the needs of children, correct their homework mistakes in time, and improve the completion degree and quality of homework, thus possibly improving the academic performance of the pupils. However, practical problems also exist when parents accompany their children to do their homework, including poor accompanying quality, negligence of children's negative emotions, over-strong purpose, and lack of in-depth emotional communication. In particular, parents' emotional responses can indirectly affect children's academic performance by influencing their emotional regulation ability. In this work, we suggest that the parents respond to the children's negative emotions in a supportive manner during the process of homework. That is, the parents can try to reduce the utilitarian nature of accompanying homework and strengthen the emotional communication. In such a way, they can regard the accompanying homework as a participation in the growth of a period of life to effectively alleviate the anxiety brought by the accompanying.

The period of middle school is not only a stage of academic advancement but also a crucial phase for the overall development of adolescents. In recent years, the academic stress on middle school students has been on the rise, and the increasing levels of test anxiety and academic pressure have led to psychological issues among this group. This paper employs a literature review approach to retrospectively analyze a series of empirical studies exploring the relationship between academic self-efficacy and exam anxiety in middle school students. By comparing the research findings, it delves into the correlation between academic self-efficacy and exam anxiety, providing a foundation and reference for future research on test anxiety. Research conclusions: (1) Academic self-efficacy in middle school students can negatively predict test anxiety; (2) External factors significantly influencing academic self-efficacy in middle school students include teacher expectations and teacher-student relationships. To alleviate test anxiety among middle school students, positive expressions of teacher expectations for student exam performance are recommended. It is also suggested to increase positive evaluations from teachers and peers after completing learning tasks.

Published: April 2024

Youth represent the future of the nation and are the beacon of hope for people. Their actions significantly impact the country's trajectory and destiny. Juvenile delinquency has always been a focal point of societal concern. In recent years, incidents of juvenile crime have proliferated, affecting not only the development of the youth but also the progress of the nation. This study aims to compare juvenile crime protection policies between China and the United States. Through this comparison, areas where China can draw references and insights to fill the gaps in its juvenile crime protection legal framework are identified. China proposes effective measures to foster holistic development of youth, enhance the government's comprehensive governance capacity, and effectively drive societal progress and development. This research employs analogy analysis and mixed scanning theory to study the laws and policies of China and the United States. Results indicate differences between the two countries in aspects such as the establishment of juvenile courts, educational guidance, and online privacy. China can strengthen the construction of juvenile courts in underdeveloped regions, intensify community education and guidance efforts, and focus on protecting the online privacy rights of adolescents.

Antibiotic resistance has become a global health crisis, posing a significant threat to our ability to treat bacterial infections. Over the years, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both humans and animals have contributed to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This leads to longer and more complicated treatment courses, increased healthcare costs, and in some cases untreatable infections. In this study, a survey was conducted on antibiotic use among college undergraduates and graduates in Latakia. The age of 42.2% of participants was 20–25 years. More than half of the participants were male (55.9%). Most responses were from college undergraduates 51%, either of final-year students or graduates. Most of them had used antibiotics with prescriptions. The highest rate of antibiotic use was for sore throat treatment (47.1%). Most participants completed the antibiotic courses and their symptoms improved (70.6%). Black and red pills remained effective for most patients (67.6%). 68.6% of the participants would consult a doctor if symptoms did not improve after taking antibiotics. 62.7% of the participants didn’t give antibiotics to a family member when they were sick. 52.9% of the participants reserve antibiotics for use when necessary. Half of the participants would take the leftover antibiotics in case of respiratory diseases. The results didn’t show a good level of knowledge about antibiotic use among college undergraduates and graduates in Latakia. This study encourages the improvement of the public knowledge and their attitudes towards the appropriate use of antibiotics.

Published: April 2024

Tobuuha Village, Puuwatu District, Kendari City was previously a green open area which was naturally used for water absorption. However, this area has now changed its function to become a densely populated residential area, resulting in a significant reduction in water absorption. As a result, when it rains, surface flow becomes greater and causes puddles downstream. The aim of this research is to model the Tobuuha retention pond using the SWMM application for environmental changes that occur. Primary data collection was carried out by observing existing conditions and measuring the dimensions of channels and ponds around the retention pond. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained from related agencies. The results of the research show that the flood discharge that will enter the retention pond is Q5 = 0.559 m3/second with the volume of water that enters and must be accommodated in the retention pond of 4577.0934 m3, while the existing capacity of the retention pond is 6978.44 m3, so it is considered still able to reduce flooding downstream of the pond. Therefore, the city government's plan to expand and increase the depth of the pool is not necessary because it will reduce the open space around the pool. Handling potential flooding and inundation around the location can be done by adjusting the sliding door openings and modifying several channels, namely channels J51-J52, M62-M63, N71-N106, and U97-U101. The SWMM simulation results for the proposed solution show that the retention pond is effective enough to prevent flooding in the surrounding area

U radu se analizira zastupljenost programa razvoja karijere zaposlenika u internom marketingu kod banaka na tržištu Bosne i Hercegovine. Ciljevi istraživanja su: 1) Utvrditi stavove zaposlenika i menadžmenta o sistemu nagrađivanja u bankama u Bosni i Hercegovini, 2) Utvrditi stavove zaposlenika i menadžmenta o programima obuke i razvoja karijere u bankama u Bosni i Hercegovini, 3) utvrditi utjecaj socio-demografskih obilježja na stavove zaposlenika o pogledu sistema nagrađivanja i programa razvoja karijera u bankama u Bosni i Hercegovini, 4) utvrditi postojanje statistički signifikantne razlike u stavovima zaposlenika i menadžmenta o sistemi nagrađivanja i programima razvoja karijera u bankama u Bosni i Hercegovini. Rezultati provedenog t testa nezavisnih uzoraka pokazali su da se stavovi zaposlenika i menadžmenta razlikuju u 5 od 8 posmatranih elemenata kroz koje se analizirao sistem nagrađivanja u bosanskohercegovačkim bankama. Međutim, kada su u pitanju programi razvoja karijere, rezultati provedenog istraživanja pokazuju da statistički značajna razlika u prosječnim ocjenama stavova zaposlenika i menadžmenta banke postoji jedino kod stava da banka provodi interna istraživanja o zadovoljstvu zaposlenika. Nadalje, rezultati χ2 testa pokazali su da (izuzev kod jednog obilježja) ne postoji povezanost između posmatranih socio-demografskih obilježja zaposlenika, s jedne strane, te elemenata sistema nagrađivanja i programa razvoja karijere, s druge strane.
MOŽE LI SE NAPREDOVATI U SRBIJI: ANALIZA MOBILNOSTI ZAPOSLENIH UNUTAR DISTRIBUCIJE ZARADA
Authors: Aleksić Dragan
Published: April 2024

Ekonomska neujednačenost u okviru zaposlenih može se posmatrati sa dva aspekta - nejednakosti i mobilnosti. Prvi podrazumeva trenutne razlike u zaradama između zaposlenih, dok se drugi fokusira na mogućnosti njihovog napredovanja tokom vremena. Predmet ovog rada je analiza zaposlenih sa stanovišta mobilnosti tokom vremena. U tu svrhu, izračunali smo nekoliko pokazatelja pokretljivosti na osnovu kojih možemo da pratimo mobilnost zaposlenih kroz vreme, ali i da je uporedimo sa nivoom u drugim zemljama. Rezultati do kojih smo došli pokazuju da je napredovanje na lestvici zarada u Srbiji tek nešto sporije u odnosu na evropske zemlje, dok istovremeno muškarci imaju veću šansu za napredovanjem od žena. Dodatno, ustanovili smo da je karakter mobilnosti uravnotežujući, odnosno da ima potencijal da u dugom roku utiče na smanjenje ukupne nejednakosti zarada. Ipak, zbog toga što se radi o relativno kratkom vremenskom periodu, ali i činjenici da se poklapa sa periodom fiskalne konsolidacije, rezultate treba uzeti sa određenom rezervom.
UTICAJ DEMOGRAFSKIH PROMENA NA TRŽIŠTE RADA U SRBIJI

Published: April 2024

U ovom radu se traži odgovor na pitanje „Da li Srbiji preti kriza nedostatka radnika?“, a u svetlu uticaja depopulacije i sve starijeg stanovništva. Na prvi pogled, čini se, demografski trendovi utiču pozitivno na tržište rada - stope aktivnosti i zaposlenosti rastu, dok stopa nezaposlenosti kontinuirano pada. Međutim, dugoročni rast privrede ozbiljno je ugrožen smanjenjem broja stanovnika radnog uzrasta. Projekcije pokazuju da bi se Srbija, u zavisnosti od brzine rasta privrede, mogla suočiti sa krizom nedostatka radnika već u narednim godinama (2025-2027) u slučaju bržeg rasta ili u narednih nekoliko decenija (2040-2050) u slučaju nešto sporijeg rasta. Pojedini poslodavci navode da se već suočavaju sa poteškoćama u pronalaženju radnika. Analiza skreće pažnju kreatorima politika da se sa negativnim posledicama demografskog starenja moraju boriti pre svega politikama aktivacije stanovništva, a ne populacionim politikama (jer su one deo rešenja, ali u dugom roku).
Emergência étnica

Published: April 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as territorialidades construídas e as definições da luta do povo Munduruku, enquanto existência dos sujeitos coletivos, que se desdobraram através do processo de emergência étnica para a retomada e territorialização de seus locais antepassados, visto que desde o início do século XXI, são os Munduruku que se mobilizam e delimitam e fazem respeitar seu pretenso Território. Nesse processo, teve-se como suporte a compressão da construção do território e das territorialidades, sobretudo, a partir de 1990 quando começam a se autoafirmar enquanto indígenas do baixo rio Tapajós, no que ficou conhecido na literatura antropológica por emergência étnica. O trabalho buscou trazer através da história oral as vozes dos indígenas para compreender o processo ocupacional do território e entender a relações de disputas. A luta do povo Munduruku pela terra-território está circunscrita não somente pela dimensão política e econômica, mas também naquilo que dá sentido à vida, à identidade e ancestralidade.

Authors: Eissa Mostafa
Published: April 2024

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is indispensable in the medicinal chemical industry for maintaining pharmaceutical product quality and consistency. Background: With complex chemical processes and stringent regulatory standards, robust quality control measures are essential. SPC enables monitoring and control of key process parameters, identification and correction of process variations, and ensuring final product compliance with specifications. This study evaluates the quality and capability of a process measuring medicinal raw material quality from an international chemical manufacturing company.
Methods: Data collected from the conductivity measurement process were analyzed using Minitab software. The process specification was fixed at 30 µS·cm-1 as a maximum permissible limit, with 33 subgroups of size one. The computation of the capability six-pack and analysis generated six plots providing insights into process stability, recent behavior, and capability against specifications, distribution verification and capability indices. Minitab® version 17.1.0 software was used to perform a process capability six-pack analysis, including various charts and statistics to assess process stability and capability.
Results: The results indicate that while the process is stable, it lacks capability, with variations exceeding acceptable limit. The process does not meet the maximum allowable specification value, with deviations from normal distribution and following logistic dispersion pattern.
Conclusion: The study's novelty lies in its comprehensive yet concise presentation of key metrics essential for evaluating process capability and performance, providing insights for process improvement and quality control. Further investigation and improvement actions are needed to address sources of variation and enhance process capability and performance.

Authors: Shittu Shehu , AbdulAzeez Ridwan , Shittu Seyyid , Isehunwa Grace
Published: April 2024

Background and aims: Exocrine pancreas insufficiency characterized by decreased pancreatic enzyme activity is one of the conditions associated with prolonged diabetes mellitus. Anti-diabetic activity of Ocimum gratissimum linn. leaf in experimental animals is well documented and using gas chromatography mass spectroscopy analysis, thymol has been identified as one of its bioactive components. This study investigated the effect of thymol on pancreatic alpha amylase activities and oxidative stress biomarkers in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats grouped into four as Control, THY, DIA, and DIA+THY were used. Animals in DIA and DIA+THY were diabetic orally administered distilled water and thymol (20 mg/kg), respectively, while control and THY were normal rats treated similarly for 14 days. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), liver function, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers were determined in the blood while the pancreas was obtained for amylase activities.
Results: Thymol treatment in the DIA+THY decreased FBG (119.75 ± 20.10 mg/dl), cholesterol (129.22 ± 8.34 mg/dl), triglycerides (116.41 ± 8.34 mg/dl), and low-density lipoprotein (101.89 ± 8.28 mg/dl) when compared with the DIA (209.25 ± 46.88 mg/dl, 156.31 ± 16.21 mg/dl, 143.13 ± 14.81 mg/dl, and 131.23 ± 13.38 mg/dl, respectively). Increased alanine transaminase and alkaline phosphatase observed in DIA were reversed in the Dia+THY. Pancreatic amylase activity was reduced in DIA (3.01 ± 0.50 Activity/mg.protein) compared with control (6.4 ± 0.42 Activity/mg.protein) and this was increased in DIA+THY (6.73 ± 0.39 Activity/mg.protein) relative to DIA. Increased plasma malondialdehyde and decreased catalase activity were observed in the DIA group and these were reversed in the DIA+THY group
Conclusions: Thymol has hypoglycemic properties and stimulates pancreatic alpha-amylase activity through a mechanism that may be linked to its antioxidant properties.

Background: Sleep is a vital component of human health and well-being, significantly impacting mental health, mood, cognitive function (including memory), and overall health. It is an important aspect of a successful academic life in college, yet very little attention has been given to finding an appropriate sleeping pattern.

Aims and Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between sleep patterns and academic performance among medical students. It further aims to identify other factors that may influence the academic performance of the study participants.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to enroll 284 undergraduate medical students. Data were collected on sociodemographic profile, lifestyle, sleep pattern, and academic performance, by self-report questionnaire. Students were divided into six groups based on their sleeping patterns and five groups based on their academic performance. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Among 284 participants, Group A demonstrated a prevalence of excellent performance (32%), followed by average performance (24%). Notably, Group B exhibited a dominance of outstanding performers (47%), followed by below average category (17%). Groups C, D, E, and F were characterized by a majority of students achieving aboveaverage outcomes.

Conclusion: Sleep is a crucial factor affecting academic achievement in medical students, but not the sole determinant. Other significant influences include nutritional status, attendance at educational activities, study habits, social support, mental health, and physical activity. Conversely, excessive social media use and addictions can negatively impact academic performance.

Objectives: This research aimed to examine how yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) fermented layer moist diet (YFM-D) influencing egg production, its quality, and duck’s growth performance during the age range of 23–29 weeks.
Materials and Methods: A total of 84 laying Jinding ducks were arbitrarily allotted into one of two dietary groups. Each group had 42 birds in 3 replicates and 14 birds per replication. Each duck was daily offered 140 gm dry matter (DM) from a layer diet (Crude Protein −17.83% and ME-2760 Kcal/kg DM) and a yeast-fermented layer moist diet (50% layer diet + 50% water) and reflected as control diet (CON-D) and yeast-fermented layer moist diet (YFM-D), respectively. The layer diet was fermented using yeast premix at a 1.0% level of feed.
Results: Considerably elevated DM intake was obtained in ducks that received YFM-D (120 gm) than CON-D (112 gm). Subsequently, ducks fed YFM-D improved almost 5.24% and 4.26% higher egg mass and hen-day egg production than CON-D, respectively (p < 0.05). Though feed conversion ratio (egg basis) was unaffected (p > 0.05), ducks receiving YFM-D almost revealed 21%–22% higher body weight compared to CON-D (p < 0.05). Moreover, higher yolk weight, color, and Haugh unit were measured in ducks offered YFM-D than CON-D (p < 0.05), while YFM-D showed the propensity for better egg and albumen weight. However, shell weight and yield, albumen, and yolk yield were not varied between the two groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: It may be concluded that a YFM-D enhanced hen day egg production at the early stage of laying while boosting live weight gain and enhancing egg quality.

Emissions of Gases and Dust into the Air as a Result of the Conversion of Landfill Gas into Electricity and Heat in a Cogeneration Plant
Authors: Zwolińska Natalia , Basta Emilia
Published: April 2024

The consequence of landfilling is biogas production in the waste bed, the main parameter of which is methane. The capture of biogas and its energetic use in a cogeneration system is the optimal solution for both environmental and energetic aspects. Nevertheless, the emission of gases and dust into the air from the cogeneration plant as a result of the combustion of biogas poses a potential threat not only to the surrounding ecosystem but also poses a serious risk to human health, especially to the respiratory system, leading to a variety of diseases. The gas and dust emission tests performed in the study showed significant values for CO2 173.08 [kg ∙ h-1] and for CO 0.7545 [kg ∙ h-1], NO2 0.7129 [kg ∙ h-1], SO2 0.3958 [kg ∙ h-1] and total dust 0.0013 [kg ∙ h-1] respectively. The work aims to demonstrate the actual emissions of gases and dust into the air as a result of the combustion of landfill gas and to use them to calculate fees for the use of the environment. Since no emission standards have been defined for this type of installation and there is no need to use reducing devices, it is crucial to regularly monitor pollutant emissions by installation operators to optimize the biogas combustion process and reduce emissions. Replacing the reference values with measurement data regarding air emissions will make the actual impact of the cogeneration installation on the environment more realistic.
