Published: October 2024

In modern pedagogy, special attention is paid to environmental education and the education of students. But the key problem of working in this direction is the need for a qualitative impact on the interests and motivation of students, which requires other means and methods of teaching. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of using an elective course to increase the interest and motivation of 9thgrade students to explore the environment. To achieve it, a number of methods of scientific cognition were used: they were the analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature on the research topic. Within the framework of the article, it was determined that the issues of interest and motivation are one of the key ones in modern pedagogical practice, and many teachers pay attention to them. This is due to the fact that it depends on the level of interest, on the level of motivation, how effectively students will learn the material and, more importantly, how effectively students' independent activities in mastering certain subjects at school will proceed. In order to determine the effectiveness of elective courses, an experiment was conducted in which the level of interest and motivation was measured before and after the elective course. The results showed a positive effect of the elective course on the level of interest and motivation of 9thgrade students to explore the environment both as part of the development of the school curriculum and as part of independent work.

В данном исследовании рассматривается корреляционная связь между стратегиями преодоления кибербул-линга и степенью незащищенности от него у подростков из трех городов –Семей, Астана и Атырау. Целью исследования является изучение особенностей этой корреляционной связи и выявление эффективных стратегий преодоления кибербуллинга для подростков в разных городах. В исследовании использовался анализ данных, а также были проведены опросы и наблюдения среди подростков из трех городов. Анализ данных показал, что самыми распространенными стратегиями преодоления кибербуллинга являются "Близкая поддержка" и "Техническое преодоление". Обнаружено, что доли использования этих стратегий различаются в зависимости от города проживания. Подростки из Астаны чаще используют "Близкую поддержку", из Семея –«Техническое преодоление», а из Атырау –«Активное игнорирование». Дальнейший анализ показал, что подростки, применяющие стратегии "Близкой поддержки" и «Технического преодоления», имеют более низкий уровень незащищенности, в то время как те, кто использует "Активное игнорирование", часто имеют более высокий уровень незащищенности. Полученные результаты подтверждают важность разработки эффективных стратегий преодоления кибербуллинга и поддержки подростков в этой области. Планируется проведение дальнейших исследований для более детального изучения связи между стратегиями преодоления и степенью незащищенности от кибербуллинга, а также для разработки эффективных интервенций и поддержки подростков.Исходя из представленного анализа, предполагается, что существует корреляционная связь между возрастом и полом подростков и их степенью незащищенности от кибербуллинга. Результаты исследования подтвердили важность разработки эффективных стратегий преодоления кибербуллинга и поддержки подростков в этой области. Дальнейшие исследования могут помочь более детально изучить связь между стратегиями преодоления и степенью незащищенности от кибербуллинга, а также разработать эффективные интервенции и поддержку подростков. Планируется проведение дальнейших исследований, чтобы глубже изучить эту связь и выявить стратегии преодоления кибербуллинга, которые помогут снизить уровень незащищенности подростков.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: O presente estudo tem como objetivo revisar as evidências científicas sobre os possíveis benefícios da fisioterapia pélvica em mulheres com transtorno da dor gênito-pélvica. O transtorno da dor gênito-pélvica inclui condições como vaginismo e dispareunia, que impactam negativamente a qualidade de vida e a saúde sexual das mulheres, provocando dor e desconforto durante as relações sexuais. A fisioterapia pélvica surge como uma abordagem promissora para o tratamento desses transtornos, oferecendo técnicas para a reabilitação dos músculos do assoalho pélvico. Metodologia: Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa e exploratória, realizada a partir de pesquisas nas bases de dados eletrônicas científicas como Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). Foram selecionados artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024 que abordam os benefícios da fisioterapia pélvica no tratamento da dor gênito-pélvica. Resultados: Os resultados apontam que a fisioterapia pélvica, por meio de técnicas como cinesioterapia, exercícios de Kegel, ginástica hipopressiva, eletroterapia, terapia manual, biofeedback e método Pilates, contribui significativamente para a redução da dor, melhora da vascularização, fortalecimento muscular e aumento da consciência corporal. Essas intervenções não apenas aliviam os sintomas físicos, mas também promovem a saúde psicológica e social das pacientes, melhorando sua qualidade de vida e satisfação sexual. Portanto, a fisioterapia pélvica representa uma alternativa eficaz, não invasiva e de baixo custo para o tratamento das disfunções sexuais associadas à dor gênito-pélvica, devendo ser amplamente considerada e incorporada nos cuidados de saúde destinados às mulheres.
Multi-hazard susceptibility mapping in the karst context using a machine-learning method (MaxEnt)
Authors: Soltanpour Hedieh , Serrhini Kamal , Gill Joel C. , Fuchs Sven , Mohadjer Solmaz
Published: October 2024

Abstract. In this study, we extend the application of the Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt), traditionally applied to ecological research and less explored in natural hazard studies, to a novel context by characterising a multi-hazard scenario (i.e., flood-triggered sinkholes) in the Orléans karst region (Val d'Orléans) of France. Many regions of the world exhibit complex hazard landscapes where networks of multi-hazard interrelationships (cascades) pose challenges due to the potential interactions between hazards and the different temporal and spatial scales of hazard events. While mountainous, coastal and volcanic regions have been recognised as multi-hazard forming zones, karst terrains have received little attention despite being prone to multi-hazard events due to their distinct geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology and other environmental characteristics. Incorporating karst-specific multi-hazard scenarios supports disaster risk reduction efforts by raising the awareness of citizens, protecting elements at risk and facilitating decisions on disaster prevention. To support this aim, we developed a multi-hazard susceptibility map for the karst region of Val d'Orléans that characterises flood-triggered sinkholes. We applied MaxEnt, a machine learning method, to forecast the spatial probability distribution of flood-triggered sinkholes. Model inputs included the location of past sinkhole occurrences and geo-environmental factors contributing to sinkhole formation (e.g., topography, local geology, hydrology and flood hazard). We validated the performance of the model by initially using 70 % of the sinkhole inventory data and keeping the remaining 30 % for testing. This validation process assessed the model's performance using the Area Under the Curve of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC-ROC). The resulting map reveals areas located up to 1 km south of the Loire River and areas with lowest elevation with highest susceptibility to flood-triggered sinkholes. We conclude that our approach to producing this type of multi-hazard scenario and map is useful for identifying flood-triggered sinkholes in Val d'Orléans and other karst areas around the globe, supporting effective land use planning.
Understanding the performance of geographic limits on Web of Science Core Collection databases, using the United Kingdom as an example
Authors: Fulbright Helen A. , Stansfield Claire
Published: October 2024

Objective: To consider the approaches within Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) databases for limiting geographically. To compare the limits to an adaptation of NICE’s UK MEDLINE filter for use on WoSCC databases.
Methods: We tested and appraised the inbuilt functions and search field options that support identification by countries/regions and affiliations. We compared these with an adapted filter to identify healthcare research on or about the UK. We calculated the recall of the inbuilt limits and filter using 177 studies and investigated why records were missed. We also calculated the percentage reduction of the overall number-needed-to-screen (ONNS).
Results: Inbuilt limits within WoSCC enable identification of research from specific countries/regions or affiliations if there is data in the address field. Refining by affiliations allows retrieval of research where affiliations are in the 200 or 500 most frequent for a set of results. An adaptation of the UK MEDLINE filter achieved an average of 97% recall. ONNS was significantly reduced using the filter. However, studies where the countries or regions are only mentioned within the full text or other non-searchable fields will be missed.
Conclusions: Information specialists should consider how inbuilt geographic limits operate on WoSCC and whether these are suitable for their research. The adapted filter can sensitively limit to the UK and could be useful for systematic reviews due to its high recall and ability to significantly reduce ONNS. Geographic filters can be feasible to adapt for use on WoSCC databases (where similar search fields are used between platforms).
Shifting temporal patterns in physical usage of a health sciences library following the extension of operational hours
Authors: Harmon Corey , Sewell Kerry
Published: October 2024

Background: Students regularly state a strong preference for increased library operational hours to accommodate learning needs. While many academic libraries provide extended hours, academic health sciences libraries appear to adopt such models less frequently. This is not due to lower levels of student demand for extended hours.
Case Presentation: In response to student preferences for increased hours, our institution shifted its budget to provide an additional 10 weekend hours (Friday-Sunday). This study is a post-hoc assessment of temporal changes in physical library use over weekend days pre- and post-implementation of extended hours. This study used (non-exam) weekend physical library usage data one year before and after implementing extended hours (January 2018-January 2020). We ran descriptive statistics to assess the hourly use pattern changes in physical library usage.
Conclusion: For the regular academic year, students arrived earlier and stayed later, with less severe hourly peaks in opening and closing times physical use patterns seen in the pre-implementation period. Overall, we saw increases in all three areas of physical usage data studied. The data provides evidence of the true need for extended hours among users, along with hourly patterns reflecting a better match of hours with patron study patterns.
Prevalence and impact of remote and hybrid work in academic health sciences libraries
Authors: Petersen David , Covey Matthew , Crum Janet
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study assesses the prevalence, usage, and impact of remote/hybrid work in academic health science libraries in 2022 and 2023. Due to differences in survey distribution, we focus primarily on the results of the second survey.
Methods: Researchers surveyed administrators at Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) member libraries in the United States in March 2022 and library staff at academic health sciences libraries in March 2023.
Results: The first survey received 71 responses that met inclusion criteria. Ninety-five percent of respondents indicated that remote/hybrid work was allowed in their libraries. Majorities indicated that remote/hybrid work had a positive impact on morale (86%), recruitment (53%) and retention (67%). The second survey received 383 responses that met inclusion criteria. 78% of respondents indicated they were allowed to work remotely, and majorities indicated remote/hybrid work positively impacted work/life balance (75%), morale/job satisfaction (69%), likelihood of staying at their current institution (64%), and productivity/overall effectiveness (58%). Respondents were less likely to accept a fully onsite (45% unlikely) or fully remote (20% unlikely) position than a hybrid one (1% unlikely). In a list of 9 factors associated with recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction, only salary and benefits ranked higher than remote/hybrid work.
Conclusions: Remote/hybrid work is common in academic health science libraries and highly valued by employees. While not without challenges, remote/hybrid work appears to be a valuable tool to support recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction of workers in academic health sciences libraries. The findings of this study can inform library decision makers about future use of remote/hybrid work.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The article reports on an assessment of the effectiveness of the MLA Research Training Institute (RTI) for the years 2018 and 2019. The RTI is a year-long continuing education research methods training and support program for health sciences librarians. The study focuses on assessing RTI participants' research confidence after program completion and compares these results with their perceptions of workshop/program performance and learning outcomes. In addition, the authors discuss how the findings were applied to inform and improve the program.
Methods: The study used a 26-item questionnaire, RTI Research Confidence Questionnaire, to gather information on participants’ self-reported research confidence before the workshop, immediately after the workshop, and one year after the workshop to determine statistically significant differences. Differences in research confidence were identified by using three nonparametric statistical tests. Additional workshop and program surveys were used to corroborate the research confidence findings.
Results: Post-workshop and one-year-after-workshop research confidence ratings were significantly higher than pre-workshop levels for years 1 and 2. A comparison of median ratings between years 1 and 2 showed significant increases in research confidence for nine items in year 2. Participants’ positive perceptions of workshop/program effectiveness and learning outcomes corroborated these findings.
Conclusion: Overall assessment findings indicated that RTI training helped participants understand, use, and apply research skills to conduct research. Findings also revealed that participants’ heightened research confidence persisted at least 12 months postintervention. The RTI Research Confidence Questionnaire proved effective for rigorously assessing and improving the RTI program. This study enhances the currently limited evidence on evidence-based approaches for assessing and improving research instruction for librarians.
What was Killing Babies in Palma, Spain? Analysing Infant Mortality Patterns Using Individual-Level Cause of Death Data, 1836–1930
Authors: Pujadas-Mora Joana Maria
Published: October 2024

This paper explores infant mortality patterns to determine the epidemiological profile of the port city of Palma, Spain between 1836 and 1930 using individual-level cause of death and testing the newly constructed ICD10h coding system. Throughout the 19th century, infant mortality was well below 150 per 1,000 live births, possibly related to the practice of extended breastfeeding and frequent vaccination campaigns. However, between 1840 and 1860, as in other Spanish and European cities, the situation deteriorated. From the 1890s to 1930, the rate was almost always below 100. Post-neonatal mortality was higher than neonatal mortality, and the two rates began to fall at different times: the former in the 1870s and the latter in the 1920s. The main causes of neonatal mortality were congenital and birth disorders, while for post-neonatal mortality they were infectious diseases, mainly airborne, followed by waterborne and foodborne diseases. The decline in these rates was influenced by several factors, including improvements to public hygiene and nutrition and the quantity and quality of water sources. With regard to sex, a more pronounced female advantage was observed in post-neonatal mortality than in neonatal mortality. The seasonality of neonatal mortality in the 19th century was characterised by two peaks in autumn and winter, possibly related to the seasonality of births. In the 20th century, a summer peak was also observed. Post-neonatal mortality showed a sharp peak in summer, which receded and gave way to a winter peak by the late 1880s.

Assessment and monitoring of the state of health of those people, who are engaged in regular physical activities, has maximum importance for keeping and promoting safe sports activities, with optimal functioning of the organism. The goal of the study is early diagnosis of clinical manifestations of the cardiovascular system, premorbid states, and even of heart pathologies in athletes. A clinical sign is a disorder in repolarization processes, which are recorded in the electrocardiogram in the form of inverted T-waves. Aiming to achieve the goal of this research, there was carried on a cross-sectional, descriptive, and narrative study. There were chosen the medical record sheets of the athletes with the above deviations in the electrocardiogram. There was also research and analyzed the tactics of medical examination, diagnosing, treatment, and monitoring over the course of time. As of the total number of 3,966 examined athletes, 11 athletes presented deviations in the electrocardiogram, in the form of inverted T-waves; 8 athletes of those mentioned above had symptoms of transitory nature, and 3 people had symptoms of permanent nature. Deviations in the electrocardiogram, having the form of inverted T-waves, are deviations of pathological nature in the electrocardiogram. However, according to the specialized literature, they may be also interpreted in the context of physiological deviations, as a result of a long-time physical effort. The issuance by the sports medicine doctor of the medical opinion allows the admission of athletes to practice regular sports activities in a harmless way.

Published: October 2024

The Republic of Moldova was one of the first countries with different incomes in the European region of the World Health Organization to introduce the rotavirus vaccine (July 2012). Intended purpose to evaluate the impact of the rotavirus vaccination program and to estimate the effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine. Surveillance of rotavirus gastroenteritis was carried out in 2 hospitals of the capital Chisinau since September 2009. Monthly age-related rotavirus admissions were examined before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccination using interrupted time-series molecular biology analyses. We conducted a case-control study of vaccine efficacy by comparing patients with rotavirus case with test-negative participants. Coverage with at least 1 dose of vaccine increased from 35% in the first year to 55% in the second year for children under 1 year of age. The percentage of positive admissions for rotavirus decreased from 45% in the post-vaccination period to 25%. Rate reduction of 36% (confidence interval [CI] 95%) in the first year and 14% (rate reduction, 67%) in the second year after vaccine introduction, among children under 5 years of age. The most pronounced reductions were among children up to 1 year old. These significant reductions in gastroenteritis among vaccinated cohorts with age for vaccination suggest indirect benefits. The effectiveness of the two-dose vaccine was 79% against hospitalization with rotaviruses and 84% against cases with moderate to severe manifestations. The results obtained consistently indicate the profound impact on the direct and group immunity of the rotavirus vaccination program in children up to 5 years of age. There remains the potential for further disease reduction.

Introduction. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have shown safety in short-term use, but with increasing reports of adverse reactions in long-term treatment. Materials and methods. Were analyzed approximately 100 articles about PPI adverse reactions and were selected 33 articles from them. Results. Analysis of selected sources has demonstrated an increase in the number of reports on the frequency of adverse reactions to PPIs with estimates of clinical manifestations and mechanisms underlying them. The long-term prescription of PPIs can cause the development of malignant processes, intestinal infections, community-acquired pneumonia, diseases of the kidneys, liver and cardiovascular system, malabsorption of nutrients (magnesium, iron, calcium, vitamin B12), fractures, dementia. Conclusions. Long-term prescribing of PPIs requires a clear justification of the indications, doses, and duration of treatment, as well as careful monitoring of possible side effects.
COVID-19 as a potential trigger for ulcerative colitis
Authors: Ticot Cristina , Targus Francesca , Sova Dumitrița , Jucov Alina
Published: October 2024

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection is a global pathology. Recent international studies have reported involvement of various organs, including the gastrointestinal system. It was shown that incidence rates of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) were 14.6% and 10% higher during the pandemic respectively than rates during the pre-COVID-19 period. Also, COVID-19 has been found to increase the risk of developing new autoimmune diseases. Materials and methods: The study included scientific publications, selected by keywords in the database PubMed, Google Scholar, and Hinari. Results: The angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor (ACE2) is highly expressed in the terminal ileum and colon. The surface receptor ACE2 interacts directly with the spike glycoprotein (protein S), which allows the virus to enter cells and reproduce new virions, followed by its replication and the initiation of an advanced inflammatory process. SARS-CoV-2 can result in alteration of gut microbiota and increased risk of intestinal inflammation. COVID-19 moderately severe form is characterized by a cytokine storm in which there are extensive neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages and immune mediators, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), the major inflammatory mediator in IBD and in almost all acute inflammatory reactions. Conclusions: The latest research has provided evidence about the ability of infections to precipitate autoimmune diseases. In this case, the causative organism is not necessarily isolated from gastrointestinal cells, and the enhanced inflammatory response after infection can eliminate the infectious agent. However, in people genetically sensitive to IBD, the initial immune reaction can turn into a chronic response, leading to disease.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. Currently, the analysis of the nutritional status represents a rather important topic in the view of various chronic pathologies, especially liver diseases, which currently present a global issue of contemporary medicine. The regulation of eating behavior,and energetic and metabolic disorders present some of the main risk factors for the progression of existing liver disease with evolutionary progression and the development of complications and comorbidities. Materials and methods. A series of scientific publications devoted to the research topic from international databases PubMed, NCBI, etc. were analyzed. Keywordswere created with the adjustment of the selection criteria of the obtained scientific sources written in English, after selecting the filter. Exclusion criteria were proposed with the exclusion of sources without scientific content. Results. The relevant scientific studies of the last 10 years have shown an increased interest in the analysis of the nutritional status of people with chronic liver pathologies. The scientific data analyzed confirms an interrelationship between inadequate food intake and the occurrence of malnutrition. Dysfunctional eating behavior can lead to a number of nutritional problems, which can range from clinical eating disorders such as decreased appetite and others to protein-calorie imbalances that are more pronounced in patients with liver diseases. Conclusions. The analysis of the data demonstrates the need for the non-invasive method, which allows the identification and monitoring of the nutritional status in patients with chronic liver pathologies under the dietary aspect.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. Some amino acids are neurotransmitters. These include glycine (Gly), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (Glu), and aspartate (Asp). The liver is an important organ for the metabolism of amino acids. Materials and methods. It was examined 24 patients with chronic hepatopathy: 12 patients with chronic HBV infection (group I) and 12 patients with hepatic steatosis (group II), the control group (CG) consisted of 12 practically healthy individuals. Quantitative determination of Asp, Glu, Gly and GABA in blood serum was carried out using liquid chromatography. Results. In most patients with chronic hepatopathy Gly and Asp levels were within the regional norms, GABA levels were higher, and Glu levels were below the reference values. In I-st group of patients the level of Gly was 18.76±1.45, GABA - 0.83±0.06, Asp - 5.56±0.97, and Glu - 6.34±0.70 mcM/ dL. In II-nd group: the level of Gly was 22.37±0.91, GABA 0.77±0.03, Asp - 5.16±0.74, and Glu - 7.87±1.47 mcM/dL. In CG: the level of Gly was 22.93±2.21, GABA - 0.55±0.06, Asp - 2.69±0.45, and Glu - 12.46±1.92 mcM/dL. Conclusion. A violation of neurotransmitter amino acids metabolism is found in chronic hepatopathy. A decrease in glycine and glutamate was observed in patients’ blood serum, with an increase in GABA and aspartate. These disorders are most profound in individuals with chronic viral infection B.
