Background: Febrile seizures are a medical emergency that requires immediate help. Proper management is needed to avoid more severe defects resulting in frequent seizures. So first aid to deal with victims is immediately carried out to prevent severe injuries and complications in children. Aim : to describe the characteristics of respondents based on age, education, and level of knowledge of parents about first aid for febrile seizures at home for toddlers. Method: The design of this study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey technique with a total of 60 respondents. Data collection by filling out a questionnaire was carried out by parents who have children, with inclusion criteria: parents whose children are under five, hospitalized with a diagnosis of febrile seizures, cooperative, exclusion criteria for parents whose children are treated with a diagnosis of complex febrile seizures and the like. Results: the characteristics of respondents based on age obtained information that the majority of respondents were in the early adult age category, namely as many as 50 respondents (83.3%), and respondents who were in the late adult category, namely as many as ten people (16.7%), the characteristics of respondents based on the level high school/vocational high school education, namely 48 respondents (80%), junior high school education as many as ten respondents (16.7%) and the minor distribution was respondents with undergraduate education level, namely two respondents (3.3%). The description of the level of knowledge of respondents obtained from the results of parents' knowledge about first aid for febrile seizures at home in toddlers in the Melati room of Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital Samarinda, which is included in the category of less knowledge level is 40 respondents (66.7%). The ideal type is 18 respondents (30 %) and good knowledge of 2 respondents (3.3%). Conclusion: based on the results of the study of 60 respondents, the results obtained about characteristics based on age and early adulthood were 50 respondents (83.3%), the majority of respondents had high school/vocational high school education, namely 48 respondents (80%). The level of knowledge of respondents about first aid for febrile seizures at home in toddlers was mainly in the less category, with 40 respondents (66.7%).

Published: November 2023

Video cameras provide vital information on volcanic plumes from explosive eruptions, such as plume height, for monitoring and research. These images must be calibrated to get accurate quantitative data. However, the presence of wind complicates any calibration as the plume may no longer lie in the image plane, i.e. a plane perpendicular to the camera’s line-of-sight. Here, we present a simple new tool to correct for the effect of wind on the position and height of a volcanic plume as determined from imagery by rotating the image plane to be in the direction of the wind. We show the importance of accounting for the effect of wind on the maximum plume height determined from videos for two case-studies; a Vulcanian explosion from Sabancaya volcano, Peru, and a sustained plume from Mount Etna, Italy. This tool can improve the accuracy of quantitative information extracted from images of volcanic plumes, and should prove useful for both research and monitoring purposes.
The importance of blood pressure control in patients with ischaemic stroke in the acute period
Authors: Zozulya I.S. , Volosovets A.O. , Zozulya A.I.
Published: November 2023

Cerebral stroke remains a major medical and social problem in Ukraine and worldwide, associated with a high incidence of morbidity, disability and mortality. In the structure of total cardiovascular mortality in our country, it ranks second after myocardial infarction.
Objective — to investigate blood pressure fluctuations during the acute period of ischaemic stroke.
Materials and methods. We monitored daily blood pressure fluctuations during the acute period of ischaemic stroke (IS) in 240 patients, including 140 men and 100 women aged 60 to 80 years. In 36 patients, the stroke was recurrent. Statistical processing of blood pressure monitoring was performed.
Results. It has been established that in the first day of IS, regular blood pressure measurement is necessary, preferably by daily blood pressure monitoring. The frequency of measurement is determined by the severity of the patient and the level of blood pressure. On average, every 15 min for the first 2 hours, every 30 min for the next 6 hours, and then every hour for up to a day. We have established that an increase in blood pressure (systolic to 140—180 mm Hg) on the first day of IS has a relatively good prognosis in terms of recovery from the disease. It should be noted that in patients with IS and blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg, the prognosis was worse. In addition, an increase in blood pressure of more than 180/100 mm Hg in patients with IS is also associated with a worse prognosis of neurological recovery than a moderate increase. At the same time, an increase in blood pressure for every 10 mm Hg (above 180 mm Hg) is associated with a 39 % risk of increased neurological deficit and a 22 % risk of poor recovery.
Conclusions. Arterial hypertension in the majority of patients with acute­onset IS is associated with a reaction to the disease, hospitalisation (emotional stress), increased intracranial pressure, and an adaptive response to cerebral ischaemia. The use of antihypertensive drugs is indicated only in the case of excessively high blood pressure and in cases where patients are indicated to lower blood pressure (thrombolysis is planned).

Published: November 2023

The study focuses on the intricacies and vulnerabilities inherent in supply chains, which are often influenced by external disruptions such as pandemics, conflict scenarios, and inflation. The aim is to devise an AI-driven system that can accurately appraise these intricacies within the domain and mitigate their vulnerabilities effectively. The work employs an empirical approach utilizing datasets from various studies for developing Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models. These include linear regression, deep learning, CNN networks are designed to predict supply chain risks and enhance the overall stability and performance of an industrial supply chain system. The Deep CNN regression model outperforms as compared to the other models in predicting supply chain risks, achieving an accuracy rate of approximately 90%. The developed model will be more proficient in dealing with complex and nonlinear relationships among the variables. The study introduces a novel approach to data augmentation using Fuzzy C-means in conjunction with a Deep Convolution network model. This approach expands the data size, reduces the forecast errors, and reduces the computational of the given model. The results highlight the potential of ML and DL in enhancing predictability and resilience in the face of escalating risks within supply chain networks. The findings of the work will significantly offer insights for strategists and planners in the supply chain sector to enhance their operational effectiveness and efficiency.

How to Solve the Clock Synchronization Problem to Measure the One-Way Speed of Light and Change a Second-Order Experiment to First-Order
Authors: Tadesse Henok
Published: November 2023

Measuring the one-way speed of light is deemed impossible because it requires synchronizing distant clocks which in turn depends on the one-way speed of light. The constancy of the one-way speed of light in the Special Relativity theory is therefore an assumption that is not based on any direct experimental evidence. In this paper a new method to synchronize distant clocks and measure the one-way speed of light at the same time is explained. Traditionally, clock synchronization and one-way speed of light measurement are seen as two separate procedures. This paper reveals a novel yet simple way to turn a second order (time-of- flight) light speed experiment into a much more sensitive first-order experiment.
THE OTHER LAWS DI ERA OTONOMI DAERAH

Published: November 2023

Kondisi hukum di era otonomi daerah masih memberi ruang bagi the Other laws untuk hidup dan bahkan lebih dinamis, entah itu disebut sebagai folk law, customary law, local law, adat law maupun istilah lainnya. State law sebagai doktrin (ajaran) hukum yang berbeda dengan folk law sebagai fakta sosial yang tumbuh dari bawah dan terdapat di mana-mana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelemahan state law serta potensi the other laws yang selama ini diterapkan oleh berbagai masyarakat. Sejalan dengan itu, akan dipaparkan beberapa pendekatan antropologi hukum yang pada dasarnya mengkaji hukum sebagai sebuah kenyataan yang diterapkan oleh masyarakat (law in action), termasuk prospeknya dalam “memotret” gejala hukum di era reformasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa norma-norma state law disahkan oleh teks resmi (oleh negara) berbeda dengan norma- norma folk law yang disahkan melalui ketaatan akan seperangkat kebiasaan. Norma-norma state law disatukan melalui asal mula logikal dari suatu norma dasar yang berbeda dengan norma-norma folk law yang disatukan oleh ketaatan di dalam suatu masyarakat. State law sebagai proses dari pengadilan negara berbeda dengan folk law sebagai proses penyelesaian sengketa di luar lingkup negara. Lalu dari proses sejarahnya pun kedua sistem hukum tersebut dapat dipisahkan, yakni yang state law lazimnya berasal dari pengambilan (sebagian atau seluruhnya) dari sistem hukum kolonial dan selanjutnya mungkin dikembangkan

Research Ethics Committees as an intervention point to promote a priori sample size calculations
Authors: Papalouka Sofia , Kovacs Marton , Munafo Marcus Robert , Thibault Robert T.
Published: November 2023

Studies in the health and life sciences often use sample sizes too small to robustly answer the research questions at hand. By performing a formal sample size calculation before beginning a study, researchers can overcome this issue. One potential avenue to promote the uptake of sample size calculation is through Research Ethics Committees (RECs). We assessed template ethics submission forms from 10 RECs from research-intensive universities in each of the United States and the United Kingdom (for 20 forms in total). We found that 19 of them requested that researchers provide the planned sample size, 12 requested a justification of the sample size, and 6 requested a sample size calculation. Future research could investigate the effectiveness of sample size requests from RECs and compare this approach to intervening through other mechanisms, such as Scientific Review Committees or funding agencies.

Authors: Sallam Malik , Barakat Muna , Sallam Mohammed
Published: November 2023

BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI)-based conversational models, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing, and Google Bard, emerged as valuable sources of health information for the lay individuals. However, the accuracy of information provided by these AI models remains a significant concern. This pilot study aimed to test a new tool referred to as “CLEAR”, designed to assess the quality of health information delivered by AI-based models.MethodsTool development involved a literature review on health information quality, followed by initial establishment of the CLEAR tool comprising five items that aimed to assess the following: completeness of content in response to the prompt, lack of false information, evidence support, appropriateness, and relevance of the generated content. Each item was scored on a 5-point Likert scale from excellent to poor. Content validity was checked by expert review of the initial items. Pilot testing involved 32 healthcare professionals using the CLEAR tool to assess content on eight different health topics deliberately designed with varying qualities. The internal consistency was checked using the Cronbach α. Feedback through the pilot test resulted in language modifications to improve the clarity of the items. The final CLEAR tool was used to assess health information quality generated through four different AI-based models in five different, yet common health topics. The AI models were ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4, Bing, and Bard, and the content generated was scored by two independent raters with Cohen κ to assess the inter-rater agreement.ResultsThe final five CLEAR items were: (1) Is the content sufficient? (2) Is the content accurate? (3) Is the content evidence-based? (4) Is the content clear, concise, and easy to understand? and (5) Is the content free from irrelevant information? Pilot testing using the eight different health topics revealed an acceptable internal consistency with a Cronbach α range of 0.669–0.981. The use of the final CLEAR tool yielded the following average scores: Bing (mean=24.4±0.42), ChatGPT-4 (mean=23.6±0.96), Bard (mean=21.2±1.79), and ChatGPT-3.5 (mean=20.6±5.20). The inter-rater agreement revealed the following Cohen κ values: for ChatGPT-3.5 (κ=0.875, P<.001), ChatGPT-4 (κ=0.780, P<.001), Bing (κ=0.348, P=.037), and Bard (κ=.749, P<.001).ConclusionsThe CLEAR tool is a brief yet helpful tool that can aid to standardize testing of the quality of health information generated by the AI-based conversational models. Future studies are recommended to validate the utility of the CLEAR tool to assess the quality of the AI-generated health-related content using a larger sample across various complex health topics.
Exploring Students' Experiences of Using Facebook for Communication and Education
Authors: Parajuli Babita
Published: November 2023

This article aims to explore the Secondary Level students' experiences and perceptions of using Facebook for academic and communicational purposes contributing to the less explored literature on students’ social media usage in the context of Nepal. I used a descriptive-qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with purposively selected eight grades 11 and 12 students studying in a government secondary school in Morang to investigate their daily usage of Facebook. The thematic analysis of this study indicated that most students perceived Facebook positively as one of the potential tools for their classroom learning purposes along with their daily online communication with family, relatives, and friends. However, some students also revealed their experiences of misusing Facebook such as creating fake Facebook accounts, chatting and flirting with unknown people, uploading fake photos, and receiving unpleasant comments in the posts resulting in family pressure on them. This study highlighted Facebook as a popular social network that has become one of the important tools in students’ daily lives and academic careers by ensuring their electronic participation in communication and education, increasing their social relationships, collaboration and information sharing in the 21st century.

Published: November 2023

This study investigated the behavior of concrete filled tube (CFT) under axial compression load, focusing on specimens with different steel-to-concrete ratios and tube thicknesses. The load-deflection behavior, failure mode, and ultimate strength of the CFT specimens were analyzed for different tube sections, including circular and square hollow sections. The results showed that the CFT specimens exhibited a ductile behavior with stable load carrying capacity up to failure. The ultimate strength of the CFT specimens was found to increase with increasing steel-to-concrete ratio and tube thickness. The study provides useful insights into the behavior of CFTs under axial compression load, which can be used in the design of CFT structures. The use of high[1]strength steel in CFSTs can further enhance their strength and durability. The study also highlighted the influence of factors such as the size and shape of the steel tube and the compressive strength of the concrete on the strength of short CFST columns. Overall, this research can be valuable to engineers and researchers working in the field of structural and construction engineering.
Unveiling Ethical Horizons: A Contemporary Analysis of MBA Students' Perceptions on Business Ethics in Nepal
Authors: Khanal Krishna , Prajapati Bikram
Published: November 2023

Students are our future generation who are going to have substantial role in Nepal’s business and economy. The basic objective of this study is to understand where MBA students stand on ethical issues. This study was motivated by a need to understand the students better so that we can design our courses on business ethics more efficiently. We compare perceptions among groups of students based on their gender, work experience, age, prior exposure to ethics education and MBA specialization. A survey consisting of 10 small ethical situations were completed by 164 MBA students. The results show that in general MBA students have good perception on Business ethics. The results further indicate that there is no difference in ethical judgement related to gender. The age factor and work experience does not necessarily have a significant impact on ethical awareness. Also, at the same time, there is no evidence to suggest that the MBA major (specialization) and prior ethics education impact significantly on ethical judgement.
Land Use Land Cover Dynamics and its Impacts on Watershed: A Case Study of Mardi Watershed
Authors: Maskey Reshma
Published: November 2023

Located in western Nepal near Pokhara city, Mardi Khola watershed is a notable example of degradation in the middle-mountain region. No previous studies in the watershed have delved into identifying, analyzing and storing the bio-physical, environmental, social, economic and demographic information of the watershed to aid the development and timely update of its management and land use plan. Therefore, all watershed management activities in the watershed have resulted in underwhelming outcomes. This study highlighted the Land Use Land Cover (LULC) Change of Mardi watershed area, which has emerged as a significant environmental issue and its impacts on water resources availability at local level resources. LULC change analysis revealed land covers such as forest, built-up area and water bodies was increased while the area under agricultural land and barren land declined between 2001 and 2021. Furthermore, 61% of the households have perceived a decreased availability of water resources such as springs, rivers, and ponds in Mardi Khola watershed over the past few decades for various natural and anthropogenic reasons, which has not only affected the water availability, but overall environmental balance in the watershed. This study generalized the importance to synchronize scientific based watershed information for developing Watershed Management Information System (MIS) at national level to enable sustainable conservation and management of watershed resources of our country.

Published: November 2023

This reflective paper delves into the examination of inclusive practices in schools through the lens of systems thinking, a conceptual framework. Inclusive education aims to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. However, the intricate nature of educational systems often poses challenges to effective implementation. This paper advocates for the application of systems thinking as a valuable perspective to understand and improve the implementation of inclusive practices in schools. By conceptualizing schools as dynamic systems and considering the interconnectedness of various elements within them, educators and policymakers can gain deeper insights into the factors that influence inclusivity. The paper outlines the fundamental principles of systems thinking, demonstrates its application in the field of inclusive education, and highlights the potential benefits it offers for enhancing inclusive practices.
Creating a third cultural space: What role does intercultural communication play in PGR teaching?
Authors: Tian Zhaohui , Wang Zi
Published: November 2023

As an internationalised space, the University of Warwick has over 9500 international students and more than 40% international academic staff. Thus, intercultural encounters are ubiquitous on campus, including teaching spaces. Among all the international student groups, the Chinese student community emerges as one of the largest at Warwick. This offers a unique teaching experience for those who are involved in teaching this group at Warwick. Therefore, in this reflective piece, we draw on our own cultural experiences as Chinese PGRs teaching Chinese PGTs in a UK-based university, with the aim to reflect on the different cultural values underlying our teaching practices influenced by both Chinese and British education cultures. We also reflect on Chinese students’ learning behaviours based on our observations and how those are formed and negotiated by us as Chinese teachers/students in a multicultural communication space at Warwick. We propose the adoption of the concept of third culture teaching, a teaching practice that goes beyond either Chinese education culture or British education culture. In particular, we use two examples to discuss the relevance of intercultural considerations in PGRs’ teaching practices, one targeting the perceptions of student-teacher relationships in supervision and the other on the concept of classroom engagement. With this discussion, we make suggestions for the intercultural-related areas for PGRs to ponder upon and prepare for better teaching practices encompassing a wide range of learning needs.

Authors: He Ya
Published: November 2023

In recent years, the number of Chinese students enrolled in one-year postgraduate taught (PGT) programmes in UK universities has continued to increase, making graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) need to teach in a more international and diverse classroom environment. Such changes have impacted students' learning expectations and the GTAs’ teaching experiences. Therefore, this reflection paper is based on my personal experience as a GTA to discuss the current situations and problems of teaching PGT students in engineering and provides insights for PGR teachers involved in teaching based on classroom observations and teaching reflection.
First Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden & Cambage seed orchard in Argentina

Published: November 2023

Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden & Cambage (E. benthamii) grows in temperate climates with humid summers, with average temperatures ranging between 14 and 18°C, 2000 mm of annual precipitation, and up to 40 frost days.year-1, with minimum temperatures reaching -10°C. Currently, in Argentina there is no availability of improved seed for commercial plantations. Based on these factors, the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) started an E. benthamii breeding program to provide improved seeds as an alternative for plantations in regions with higher frost frequency. Through the INTA - IPEF agreement (Institute of Forestry Research and Studies), seeds were imported from 30 families of this species. Between 2017 and 2018, four trials were established in the provinces of Buenos Aires (34°36'S, 58°39'W), Entre Ríos (31°22'S, 58°07'W), Corrientes (28°26'S, 58°59'W), and Misiones (27°39'S, 55°26'W). The following traits were assessed: survival (SUR), height at 1 year (H1), height at 4 years (H4), and diameter at breast height (DBH4). Pedigree-based single-site and multiple-site analyses were performed using individual-tree models for the growth traits. SUR4 rate varied across locations: 60% in Corrientes, 67% in Misiones, 80% in Entre Ríos, and 71% in Buenos Aires. Notably, Corrientes had an average H1 of 4.22 meters, while Buenos Aires had 0.90 meters due to water deficit in the first season. By the fourth year, height and diameter values became consistent. H4 ranged from 12.8 to 15.6 meters, and DBH4 ranged from 10.24 to 13.14 centimeters. Despite the drought of the years 2017 and 2019 to 2021, mainly in Buenos Aires, good growth in H4 and DBH4 is confirmed. Growth traits displayed significant heritability estimates (from 0.47 to 0.79), offering valuable guidance for selecting and advancing desired characteristics. The high genetic correlations observed among growth variables (from 0.73 to 0.86) at each site enable the flexibility to choose any of them as a selection variable. The high correlation genotyped by environment between the Buenos Aires trial and the other sites (0.74) allows the establishment of a single seed orchard to supply the entire region included in this study with improved seed. Utilizing the data obtained from the four trials, breeding values from the Buenos Aires trial were predicted, and 89 individual trees from 24 families were selected using DBH4 breeding values, for the establishment of Argentina's first Eucalyptus benthamii progeny seed orchard.

Published: November 2023

Eucalypt, mostly Eucalyptus globulus, is the exotic tree species occupying the largest area of Portuguese planted forest. Eucalypts were introduced in the country more than one hundred years ago. However, it was only in the second half of the 20th century that the area of plantations grew with the onset of their use in the paper and pulp industry. Being an exotic species, it was initially free from pests and diseases but, over time, the number of insects and pathogens affecting these plants increased. Recently, a disease syndrome characterised by leaf necrosis, stem girdling, and cutting dieback in nurseries and young plantations was detected, as well as a new disease causing root rot and dieback in plantations. By combining morphological, cultural, and molecular data, five new species of Neopestalotiopsis were described associated with that syndrome (Neopestalotiopsis eucalyptorum, Neopestalotiopsis hispanica, Neopestalotiopsis iberica, Neopestalotiopsis longiappendiculata, Neopestalotiopsis lusitanica), and two species of Phytophthora were identified in root rot and dieback symptomatic plants (P. cinnamomi and P. alticola), being the first report of P. alticola outside South Africa. These emerging diseases have required additional research efforts to achieve good control methodologies.
Initial assessment of Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden × Eucalyptus globulus Labill hybrid clones in Argentina
Authors: Pathauer Pablo Santiago , Novaresi Marcelo Pablo , Jurcic Esteban Javier , Palazzini Dino Andrés
Published: November 2023

The National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) of Argentina develops breeding programs for temperate Eucalyptus, including Eucalyptus globulus Labill (E. globulus) in southeastern Buenos Aires, and Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden (E. dunnii) in central/northern Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, and the Mesopotamia region of Argentina. Currently, the forestry industry is concentrated more than 600 km north of the E. globulus plantation area, outside its optimal growth zone. In order to obtain genotypes that would adapt to the environmental conditions of the center-north of Buenos Aires and express good industrial properties, a controlled crossing program was developed starting in 2011. The hybrid progenies obtained were cloned, selecting those with the highest rooting index. Between 2015 and 2022, trials with hybrid clones of E. dunnii × E. globulus (DG7 and DG10) and an E. dunnii seed treatment were installed. Height (H1) and Survival (SUV1) were assessed in the first year, the diameter at 1.3 meters from the ground at the second year (DBH2) and at the seventh year (DBH7). For SUV1 and H1, DG7 averaged 91% (80-100) and 1.46 meters, respectively, while DG10 averaged 84% (60-94) and 1.28 meters. E. dunnii averaged 84% (57-100), with an average H1 of 1.98 meters. The lowest SUV1 and H1 values are associated with the site that was established in 2015 and experienced flooding conditions. For DBH2, DG7 averaged 5.37 cm (ranging from 3.98 to 7.71), DG10 averaged 4.22 cm (ranging from 2.01 to 6.1), and E. dunnii measured 6.16 cm (ranging from 4.55 to 7.1). For DBH7, DG7 averaged 16.99 cm, DG10 averaged 7.96 cm, and E. dunnii measured 16.72 cm. Samples were removed and evaluated from this site, along with age-matched material from E. dunnii and E. globulus. The Pulp and Paper Center of the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI) evaluated the basic density (TAPPI 258 om-02) and pulpable yield by Kraft digestion. The average values obtained for DG7 were 0.491 g/ml and 48.91%, whereas for DG10 they were 0.443 g/ml and 47.41%. Eucalyptus dunnii exhibited values of 0.414 g/ml and 44.03%, while Eucalyptus globulus showed values of 0.439 g/ml and 48.30%, respectively. Survival and growth results show good adaptation of the clones in this region, which do not differ from E. dunnii and the first technological evaluations are promising. In future evaluations, ten new hybrid clones installed between 2020-2022 and new hybrid progenies in rooting tests will be incorporated.

Introduction: The development of vaccines against SARS-COV-2 infections has marked a significant milestone in the current COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 vaccines can provide a way to prevent the pandemic. Despite the high acceptance rate, Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan (east coast region) remain the lowest vaccination rate in Malaysia. Most of Malaysia's population in the east coast region is Muslim, but there is no study exploring this phenomenon. Objective: This study aims to understand the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Malaysia's Muslim community of the east coast region. Methodology: This study used a qualitative research design study. Six participants from the east coast region of Malaysia were recruited from February until June 2022. The recruitment techniques used purposive sampling methods. In-depth interviews with participants were used on virtual platforms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: Three themes were identified 1) source of information; they believe rumours spread by the anti-vaccine movement or their close family 2) safety issues concern; they are scared of potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, 3) self-belief; they believe self-isolation and proper diet better than vaccine intervention. Conclusion: Although 95.7 per cent of the population is wholly vaccinated, some still do not intend to take any COVID-19 vaccination in Malaysia. This study can provide data and crucial information that will help develop strategies to remove the related hesitancy and improve public uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination.

The article examines the significance of the balance function and the organs responsible for it in the general psychophysical development of children from the perspective of neurophysiology, neuropsychology, and neuropedagogy. The basis of the development and improvement of this function lies in the child's relationship with the two dual components of his existence: the gravitational force of attraction and the earth's support. On the basis of this interaction, the necessary supporting and straightening reactions are gradually formed, which in the future need to ensure a stable position of the child's body in an orthograde two-support position. First, the child's static equilibrium is formed (in place, not moving), then it improves to static-dynamic equilibrium (in the city, but moving) and finally, the child masters dynamic equilibrium (in motion). The balance function is based on the postural system of aplomb with its five external and internal channels: vestibular, visual, oculomotor, proprioceptive, gifted, articulatory (lower jaw) and auditory. Synchronization of the activity of these input channels provides appropriate and adequate postural reactions to preserve the child's body in space. The vestibular system is of particular importance, since it is the most widely represented in the formations of the child's brain and interacts with other sensory channels. The authors proposed the following algorithm for using the possibilities of the balance function in the sensorimotor development of children in the context of improving their psycho-speech development: the formation of support-rectifying antigravity reactions and poses; development of static balance in stationary poses; development of stato-dynamic equilibrium; development of dynamic balance, moving with purposeful progress in different directions; the development of vestibulo-motor reactions for the formation of the child's orientation in space (in the «space of his body», minispace, macrospace). Keywords: balance function, children with special educational needs, speech development.

У статті окреслено складники наукової галузі «Соціальна робота», представлено особливості виникнення та розвитку соціальної роботи як науки; розкрито теоретичні аспекти становлення та розвитку соціальної роботи як професії. Актуальність теми зумовлена тим, що наукова галузь «Соціальна робота» існує у світі більше ста років. Але в професійній діяльності до цього часу існує значна кількість проблемних питань щодо зародження означеної науки та особливостей надання соціальної допомоги різним категоріям населення. Визначено поняття «соціальна робота» в широкому та вузькому розумінні. Проаналізовано професійні складники соціальної роботи як практичної діяльності, розкрито основні причини виникнення, сутнісні ознаки, етапи розвитку наукової галузі «Соціальна робота» з кінця ХІХ століття і до сьогодні; визначено основний зміст соціальної роботи; проаналізовано механізми її розвитку; описано наукову структуру соціальної роботи та висвітлено принципи і її закономірності. Метою статті є розгляд сучасного розуміння соціальної роботи як складного соціального явища, що має різні аспекти та визначається як модель, за допомогою якої суспільство виконує функції збереження та відтворення особистості як соціального складника. Вона є сукупністю дій та методів, спрямованих на надання допомоги різним групам населення при вирішенні їх проблем. За результатами аналізу наукових досліджень розкрито теоретичні принципи зародження та розвитку соціальної роботи; визначено наукову сутність понять «соціальна робота», «професійна соціальна робота»; з'ясовано сучасний рівень соціальної роботи як наукової галузі та професійної діяльності; розкрито та проаналізовано теоретичні передумови зародження, розвитку соціальної роботи як практичної професійної діяльності. Узагальнено результати наукових досліджень щодо виникнення та розвитку соціальної роботи як професії; визначено та розкрито соціально-економічні чинники, які сприяли виникненню та розвитку професійної соціальної роботи; висвітлено передумови зародження соціальної роботи як науки; розкривається специфіка соціальної роботи як професійної діяльності, а також перспективи та закономірності її розвитку в умовах ХХІ століття. Зроблено висновки, що ефективність та доцільність розвитку наукової галузі «Соціальна робота» залежить від соціальних та економічних змін у суспільстві. Це включає в себе готовність суспільства до змін у структурі соціальних відносин та соціальної політики. Для досягнення ефективності та доцільності розвитку наукової галузі «Соціальна робота» потрібна взаємодія між соціальними працівниками, науковцями, урядовими органами та громадськістю. Це спільна робота над розробкою та впровадженням стратегій соціальної роботи, обмін досвідом та знаннями, а також залучення громадськості до процесу прийняття рішень щодо соціальної політики. Ключові слова: соціальна робота, наукова галузь «Соціальна робота», професійна соціальна робота, принципи соціальної роботи, закономірності соціальної роботи.
Measurement of logistics processes for potential optimization purposes at enterprises based in a Hungarian county

Daily logistics processes and supply chains make up complex systems which can be affected by many factors (e.g., production technology, infrastructure, daily traffic, weather, or ad-hoc problems). As part of this research, an investigation was conducted to determine how such factors influence the daily material flow of enterprises in Zala County, one of Hungary’s 19 counties. With the help of qualitative sampling, we identified which variables affect logistics processes. As an initial step of the research, classic and modern trends of logistics software support were compared through a literature review. Results show that the lack of simulation forecasting is a serious deficiency for applied technologies. In the second part of this paper, we identify the measurable variables and their significance on future simulations with the help of a qualitative method. This research has been a precursor to our long-term research approach, in the scope of which company processes are modelled and subsequently improved through simulation.

Tujuan utama pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah untuk meningkatkan motivasi siswa belajar berbicara bahasa Inggris di Pondok Pesantren Al-Ghozali Kecamatan Gunung Sindur Desa Curug. Tahapan pelatihan pada kegiatan PkM meliputi: (1) tahap pertama yaitu memberikan kuesioner untuk melihat masalah konkret yang dihadapi para siswa dalam belajar berbicara bahasa Inggris; (2) tahap kedua yaitu melaksanakan pelatihan dengan cara menonton video singkat; dan (3) tahap ketiga yaitu melakukan evaluasi terhadap pelatihan yang telah dilakukan dengan cara memberikan kuesioner kedua kepada para siswa untuk dapat mengonfirmasi motivasi siswa belajar dan sikap mereka terhadap hasil pelatihan berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan video. Tujuan selanjutnya adalah terjalinnya kerja sama antara tim pengabdi dengan mitra PkM dalam bidang pendidikan pada umumnya dan dalam hal pelatihan berbicara bahasa Inggris umumnya. Dari hasil angket diketahui bahwa motivasi siswa berbicara bahasa Inggris meningkat setelah menonton tiga video singkat berisi pesan moral dan pembelajaran. Kesulitan siswa berbicara bahasa Inggris karena keterbatasan pengetahuan kosakata, pengucapan dan pemahaman terhadap topik pembelajaran menjadi berkurang setelah termotivasi menonton video. Kata-kata berisi pesan-pesan moral yang disampaikan melalui tayangan video dan cara penyampaian pesan memudahkan siswa memahami konten pelatihan. Tayangan gambar video yang menarik memberikan inspirasi pada siswa untuk berbicara menggunakan bahasa Inggris.
