How to avoid missing a melanoma (Preprint)
Authors: Todorovska Verche
Published: June 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Melanoma is a potentially dangerous skin tumor responsible for 90% of all skin cancer-related deaths. If diagnosed and treated early survival rate is very high (almost 99%). Dermatoscopy is a diagnostic method enabling the detection of morphological chaos even in early-stage melanomas, long before it becomes clinically evident. “Chaos and Clues” is a decision-making algorithm designed for pigmented skin lesions, indicating biopsy in order to confirm or discard possible malignancy if there is chaos in one of 3 aspects(distribution of colors, patterns, and border abruptness) and at least one clue to malignancy. The diagnosis seems feasible and easy. Nevertheless, some challenging melanomas exist and might be easily overlooked, displaying harmony of all 3 aspects, often resembling a wide range of benign tumors. In order to avoid missing a melanoma, we present a series of challenging cases and peculiar clinical scenarios but also provide solutions to overcome these diagnostic pitfalls:
1. When the lesion does not look like a melanoma-do sequential digital monitoring!
2. When all the lesions look like a melanoma-comparative approach is the answer!
3. When we don't see the lesion-undress your patients and make a thorough skin examination!
4. When the pathologist doesn't recognize it-apply the new golden standard for diagnosing skin cancer, integration of clinic, dermatoscopy, and pathology!
5. When it is an uncommon variant of melanoma-follow the rules and clues!
Conclusion
Implementing these solutions would certainly help clinicians to recognize melanoma in any shape and form, overcome the most difficult diagnostic pitfalls and avoid missing the deadliest skin cancer.

Authors: Lucas Joseph M. , Gbaden Chiakaan J. , Pwashikai Gibson
Published: July 2023

Farmers and herdsmen conflict was one of the many challenges that have thwarted harmony in most parts of Nigeria. Based on this, radio was always expected to be seen promoting unity and mutual respect through its programs. Therefore, at all times, broadcast media (radio) was expected to adopt a position aimed at dowsing the conflict and promoting mutual understanding and harmony. This research therefore, examined public perception of radio coverage of farmers and Fulani herdsmen conflict in Taraba State. The research focused on Taraba State Broadcasting service, Jalingo. The study was anchored on two theories: Agenda-Setting and Social Responsibility. A survey research design was adopted for the research. The sample size adopted was 400 respondents. The research used a questionnaire to gather data; an in-depth interview complemented it. The method of data analysis adopted was descriptive analysis. Findings showed that the media did not allocate much attention to the conflict, hence the lack of frequent coverage. Findings also showed no detailed dissemination of information about the crises. The research concluded that the broadcast media under study were not conscious of their society by being unprofessional in their coverage of the conflict and not adequately informing people about it. Therefore, the research recommended that broadcast media in Nigeria go beyond their cardinal functions and fully imbibe the practice of conflict reporting and management practice.

Evaluación crítica de la regulación y el uso de la suspensión condicional del procedimiento en el marco de la persecución penal a personas jurídicas por el delito de soborno en Chile
Authors: Artaza Osvaldo , Carrasco Braulio
Published: June 2023

La presente investigación ofrece una evaluación crítica de la utilización, por parte del Ministerio Público en Chile, de las “suspensiones condicionales del procedimiento” a propósito de la investigación y persecución de personas jurídicas por los delitos de soborno cometidos en su interés por sus integrantes. Para tales efectos se analiza la literatura angloamericana especializada en el uso de “acuerdos negociados” como estrategia frente a la criminalidad empresarial, con el propósito de ofrecer una serie de criterios que facilitarían tal evaluación en atención a los objetivos que debiesen guiar la utilización de tales acuerdos como forma de reacción estatal. La investigación concluye detectando una serie de posibles mejoras que podrían incorporarse a la práctica chilena para potenciar la coherencia del uso de tales acuerdos con aquellos objetivos previamente detectados.

Entrados en el siglo XXI, nos dimos cuenta de la necesidad de reunir a los investigadores, pioneros y contemporáneos, que han venido trabajando el tema de los jardines nahuas prehispánicos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX a la fecha. Este libro da cuenta, tanto de la reflexión que hacen los autores a sus primeras obras desde nuevas interrogantes, como de investigaciones recientes, a partir de tres aspectos de los jardines: el paisaje, el agua y el poder. Sabemos que mostrar un tema como este desde la transdisciplina es fundamental; por ello, este libro expone el tema de los jardines desde una visión arquitectónico-paisajística, geográfica, antropológica, lingüística, histórica y arqueológica. Para una mejor comprensión de la obra, se divide en cuatro apartados. El primero trata sobre temas introductorios como explicar la cuenca de México en términos geográficos, describir la diversidad étnica en esa región y mostrar al lector la concepción nahua del agua. La segunda parte trata sobre los jardines nahuas tenochcas y tlatelolcas. La tercera parte, sobre los jardines en la región sur de la cuenca de México. Y la cuarta parte trata sobre los jardines del Acolhuacan, la región oriente de la cuenca. Es una fortuna haber contado con la participación de grandes investigadores que cerraron su producción académica en esta obra.

Authors: Sysoeva Elena V. , Gelmanova Margarita O.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The purpose of this study is to investigate air pollution with respect to PM2.5 particulate matter hazardous to the health of the urban population, generated by the movement of motor vehicles. The development of existing and construction of new transport networks in large cities leads to the fact that the problem of air pollution by PM2.5 particles becomes extremely urgent.

Materials and methods. The ENVI-met calculations were based on the data provided by the meteorological station. The following methods were applied: system analysis, numerical modelling method — finite difference method, processing of numerical results.

Results. A calculation model of Moscow district territory was developed in ENVI-met programme in order to determine PM2.5 dispersion patterns along the road network of the selected district. The calculation was carried out for a 24-hour time period. The schemes of fine particles dispersion on the territory of the building at a height of 1.5 and 10 m are obtained. Their evaluation shows that the highest concentration of PM2.5 is observed along the most frequent wind direction near roads. The width of the roadway and, accordingly, the number of cars passing per hour plays a paramount role in the formation of PM2.5.

Conclusions. The greatest negative impact of fine dust occurs in residential buildings located along highways. It is most rational to increase the density of landscaping in areas with a high concentration of PM2.5 along the main roads and on the roofs of existing low-rise buildings and medium-rise buildings.

Authors: Kisel Tatiana N. , Prokhorova Yulia S.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The modern vector of development of the Russian Federation is associated with the transition to a digital model in a variety of aspects: — from the penetration of information technologies into the social sphere and private life of people to their impact on the pace of development of industries and national economies, the effectiveness of public administration, the development of international cooperation. The configuration of global spheres of human activity is undergoing significant changes under the influence of digitalization and radically new emerging human needs and the enterprise management process. Various studies and analytical reviews are of key importance in determining the level of digitalization of the regions of the Russian Federation, allowing to assess the dynamics of the incremental level of digitalization in the business process of enterprises. The results of a study devoted to the analysis of the level of digitalization of Russian enterprises and organizations in the investment and construction sector are presented (ICS). Construction is one of the key sectors of the economy. Thus, its share in the gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated at 5–6 % (according to Rosstat, 5.6 % in 2019), and the share of employed in it is about 9 %. The scale and importance of the construction sector suggest that improving the efficiency of enterprises, including through the introduction of digital technologies as the main modern driver of productivity and efficiency processes, can have an impact on the development of the domestic economy as a whole.

Materials and methods. The basis of the study is a selective correspondence direct survey in the format of an online questionnaire. The following methods were used: the system approach, general theoretical methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, analogy, generalization, comparison, comparison and others), graphical modelling.

Results. The results of respondents’ assessment of the level of digitalization of Russian enterprises in the investment and construction sector are presented, confirming the activation of the industry in the digital environment. The success factors of these processes are identified, which include: the availability of digital infrastructure and qualified personnel, which in turn is determined by the financial capabilities of enterprises, the presence of digital culture, as well as the ability to develop and retain personnel.

Conclusions. The analysis proves that there are all prerequisites for the effective development of digital relations within enterprises and the industry as a whole. The transition to “digital” will ultimately increase the economic efficiency and manageability of all internal and external organizational and production processes of enterprises and increase the share of the industry’s GDP.

Authors:   Korean Academy of Leadership, Park Joon Hyung , Gu Yuying
Published: June 2023

Despite the growing body of research examining the impact of mentoring on mentees' work behavior, there has been a notable gap in exploring the role of mentoring at the work-family interface. Our study sought to investigate whether work-family focused mentoring uniquely contributes to mentees' behaviors. In particular, we assessed the effects of work-family focused mentoring on organizational citizenship behavior, taking into account general mentoring functions. Furthermore, our study aimed to uncover the underlying mechanism connecting work-family focused mentoring with mentees' organizational citizenship behavior. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examined the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) in this relationship. By analyzing data from 237 mentor-mentee pairs across various organizations in China, we discovered that POS indeed mediated the association between work-family focused mentoring and mentees' organizational citizenship behavior. This study offers valuable insights and implications for future research and practice in this area.

Methods From 2000 to March 2021, 69 academic journals and 168 degree papers related to early childhood art education were published in Korea. Comprehensive Meta Analysis (CMA) was used for data analysis. From a total of 237 papers, 250 sample-level effect sizes and 364 variable-level effect sizes were extracted. As for the analysis model of the effect size, a wireless model was selected, and the analysis level was analyzed at the sample level and the variable level.
Results As a result of the study, the overall average effect size was 1.207, showing a large effect size, and the overall average effect size of the result variable showed the highest art attitude, and the lowest expression ability. The average effect size of the outcome variable according to the integrated variable was the highest in the art area and the lowest in the aesthetic response. In the integration of other areas, the aesthetic response was the highest and the activity process was the lowest. In the case of the average effect size for each control variable, the publication year was significant for each thesis characteristic, but the publication type was not significant. The study target area and infant institutions were not significant, and the type of kindergarten was significant. There was no significant difference between age and age composition. The number of treatments and time per session were significant, and the treatment period was not significant. The activity content of the content variable and the integrated variable were not significant, and the integrated area was significant.
Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it analyzed the effect of the early childhood art education program on children's art-related abilities and provided comprehensive implications for art education.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Yu-Sun , Lee KyeongHwa
Published: June 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze how the metacognition is reflected in the elementary school Korean language textbooks based on the revised 2015 curriculum.
Methods Through literature review, the metacognition was divided into knowledge (declarative, procedural, conditional knowledge) and regulation (planning, monitoring, evaluation), and an analysis framework was established. The subject of analysis is 11 reading-related chapters in the 6th grade 1st and 2nd semester Korean language textbooks.
Results After dividing the 11 chapters into general chapters and reading chapters, and analyzing them according to the framework, it was found that the general chapters were biased towards specific functional knowledge rather than regulating the metacognition. Moreover, only one reading chapter in the 1st semester of the 6th grade reflected monitoring of the metacognitive regulation in the textbook. In addition, there was a lack of linkage between the educational content of the metacognition by grade and chapter.
Conclusions Based on these results, recommendations for future elementary school Korean language textbooks are as follows: Firstly, metacognitive knowledge and regulation, and their sub-elements should be presented in a balanced manner, and knowledge about the metacognition itself should be provided. Secondly, monitoring and regulation should be richly and repeatedly covered in various reading chapters. Thirdly, there is a need to establish linkage and systematization of educational content on the metacognition by grade and chapter.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shin Jung Yun
Published: June 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the external types and scientific descriptions of infographics written by science gifted students.
Methods For this purpose, 31 infographics written during class by six second-year middle school students participating in science-gifted classes were analyzed. Visualization expression method and composition level were analyzed as external type, and content elements, content accuracy, and errors in scientific description were analyzed as content type.
Results As a result, as for the external type, infographics in the form of illustration, reconstruction, and simple reconstruction were the most common. The topics that students dealt with the most were special relativity, Newtonian mechanics, and general relativity in that order. In addition, as a result of analyzing the scientifically valid descriptions and scientific errors, there was no scientific error description on the subject of the duality of light and uncertainty principle, but the meaning was fully expressed in the subject of quantum superposition, double slit experimental device model, and action and reaction. There were parts that could not be explained or described unclearly.
Conclusions This study shows that science gifted students have partially understood the basic concepts of modern physics through activities such as reading books about modern physics and watching videos. As a result, it is judged that science gifted students learned more about the theory of relativity than about quantum mechanics.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shim Seung-hwan
Published: June 2023

Objectives This study attempted to examine the desirable direction of personality education that forms a positive self-view through recognition and cares for others in a social context where close human relationships and interactions are weakened, personal competition and efficient performance are emphasized.
Methods To this end, literature study, critical interpretation, and discussion were conducted on Hornet's books, papers, and related prior studies.
Results Recognition develops through love at home, rights in civil society, and solidarity in the state, and accordingly, self-confidence, self-respect, and self-esteem develop. Based on the relationship of recognition, our education should develop educational culture and institutions that embrace differences and diversity while encouraging solidarity and harmony. The unique values of various students should be equally respected and recognized.
Conclusions Personality education should fundamentally foster the attitude and ability to recognize each other and self-recognition, and to ensure that emotional consideration, respect for rights, and social value are properly achieved at home, school, and society. In particular, when recognition is denied or ignored, personal and collective efforts are needed to recognize the reality and cause of the problem and restore damaged self-esteem again. Students should clearly recognize unfair neglect and disapproval by expressing and sharing the experience of neglect, and strive together to overcome it to develop empathy, solidarity, critical consciousness, and moral judgment.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the objectives of revised art curriculum, and to propose improvements for elementary art education.
Methods To achieve this, the 2015’s and 2022’s revised curriculums were compared and analyzed, and, previous studies related to the elementary art education plans were reviewed, and improvement plans were considered.
Results The 2022 revised curriculum emphasizes the linkage between aesthetic experience, expression, and appreciation, compared to 2015’s. Additionally, it appears to emphasize the goals of art education from an integrated perspective. However, according to previous studies, there are limitations in the separation of domains and the development of teaching methods. In particular, the limitations of materials and expertise were pointed out in the expression class. As a result, improvement was proposed for practical classes and the cultivation of teacher expertise.
Conclusions This study is significant in that it examined practical improvement for achieving the goals of elementary school revised art curriculum by comparing and analyzing their goals and limitations.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating role of job-seeking stress, especially in relationship between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of senior undergraduates who consider employment, and to provide implications for career counseling based on the study.
Methods The study is based on the survey participation of senior undergraduates(including the students who are in extra semesters and maintain scholarly) in Seoul, Gyeonggi-Incheon, and other regions. Demographic variables, general self-efficacy, career preparation behavior and job-seeking stress were studied among 250 respondents who answered that they were considering employment and the data was analyzed by using SPSS 29.0 and Process Macro to verify the research questions.
Results The result revealed that there was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of the senior undergraduates, a negative correlation between self-efficacy and job-seeking stress, and job-seeking stress partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior. The direct effect of self-efficacy on career preparation behavior was larger than the total effect, so job-seeking stress was found to be a suppressor variable.
Conclusions For senior undergraduates who do not have experience in practical career behavior despite having high self-efficacy, the study suggests that it is required to intervene after evaluating their job-seeking stress level.

La administración pública para ser eficiente requiere cambiar el esquema burocrático por uno gerencial, por tanto, es fundamental la adopción de prácticas organizacionales innovadoras. En este sentido, se realiza una revisión de literatura que tiene como objetivo identificar las relaciones estudiadas entre la gestión del conocimiento y la innovación en el sector público, así como también las tendencias de investigación que involucren las mismas. La investigación se desarrolla bajo un enfoque cualitativo y su alcance es descriptivo; el estudio consideró un grupo de artículos identificados en la base de datos scopus y otros se agregaron a consideración de los autores del documento. Los resultados muestran un bajo número de documentos que se ocupan de estudiar la relación entre ambas temáticas. En los artículos identificados se evidencia la existencia de una estrecha relación de la gestión del conocimiento como un determinante para la innovación pública, específicamente desde el proceso de transferencia de conocimiento. Se concluye que este campo de estudio es prolífero, con abundantes oportunidades para investigar y comprender la gestión del conocimiento y la innovación en el sector público, dadas sus particularidades; asimismo se identificó la necesidad de vincular estos campos de conocimiento con temas de debate actual, tales como los living labs, las tecnologías de la cuarta revolución industrial, la gobernanza y la participación ciudadana.

El objetivo del artículo, es analizar las estrategias implementadas por los micronegocios para su subsistencia, y así identificar importantes brechas de estudio para investigaciones futuras. Como metodología, se elaboraron preguntas de investigación, se verificaron artículos en bancos de datos científicos durante los años 2017 a 2022, se seleccionaron 50 que eran pertinentes y se realizó la evaluación de calidad. El examen deja observar que gran parte de las investigaciones muestran una sola estrategia sin tener en cuenta otras acciones que serían de importancia para los micronegocios. Se obtiene como resultados, estrategias que necesitan los micronegocios, como que los bancos se comprometan a ofrecer una amplia variedad de asistencia para manejarlos de una mejor forma, también, la innovación utilizando diferentes combinaciones de mercados y productos, tiene menor éxito que las actividades que hacen énfasis en minimizar las mezclas de tecnología, mercado y servicios. Como conclusión, es necesario que los micronegocios propongan actividades para lograr ventajas, optimizar la auditoría interna y la contabilidad, para tomar decisiones correctas. Este estudio puede ser una referencia para los propietarios de micronegocios en mercados emergentes. Se desarrollan estrategias novedosas que podrían ayudar a los micronegocios a su sostenibilidad.

Одним из решений задачи рационализации несущих конструкций покрытия является применение арочныхкомбинированных систем. Работа посвящена исследованию комбинированной арочной системы с лучевыми затяжками. Основное внимание уделено совершенствованию конструктивных решений посредством поиска рационального количества панелей пояса арки и затяжек, анализу работу арочных систем и установлению зависимостей напряженно-деформированного состояния при изменении количества панелей и затяжек, поиску усилий преднапряжения затяжек, позволяющих уменьшить поперечное сечение арочного пояса. По результатам численных расчетов в программном комплексе SCAD определено рациональное количество панелей и затяжек, усилия преднапряжения затяжек, профиль поперечного сечения пояса арки, которые способствуют уменьшению металлоёмкости и более эффективному использованию несущей способности арочной системы с лучевыми затяжками.
Архитектура батарейных фортов Севастопольского оборонительного района времени Великой Отечественной войны
Authors: Панухин Петр
Published: June 2023

Крымский полуостров был ареной ожесточённых сражений во время Великой Отечественной войны 1941–1945годов. Важнейшую роль в обороне Крыма играл Севастопольский оборонительный район (СОР), принявший на себя первый удар врага. К архитектуре фортификационных сооружений СОРа предъявлялись особые требования. В статье рассматривается пространственное позиционирование секторов обороны и крупных укреплений Севастополя, самыми мощными из которых были форты-батареи. Анализируются объёмные композиции бронебашенных батарей ББ-30 (Форт «Максим Горький-1») и ББ-35 (форт «Максим Горький-2»), батарей ПСЗ-3, №10, №12 и №13, а также военно-функциональные и конструктивные решения их общей компоновки, отдельных блоков, фрагментов и элементов. Подчёркиваются преемственность отечественной фортификационной школы 1913–1930-х годов, позволившая создать эффективную фортификационную архитектуру и адаптировать её под вооружения 1940-х годов. Некоторые пространственные приёмы, использованные в архитектуре Севастопольских фортов в 1941–1945 годы, актуальны и в настоящее время.
