PRUNE BELLY SYNDROME - PRIKAZ SLUČAJA
Authors: Cokić Bojana
Published: March 2024

Uvod: Prune Belly sindrom je retka kongenitalna anomalija. Glavne karakteristike Prune Belly syndroma su; nerazvijenost abdominalnih mišića, te je koža tog dela tela naborana (koža kao  “suva šljiva”), anomalije urinarnog trakta i kriptorhizam. Prvi opis Prune Belly synroma daje Frölich 1839.godine, a 1901. godine Osler daje ime sindromu. Incidenca je 1:35 000 do 1:50 000 živorođenih. Preko 95%  obolelih su dečaci, a samo 3-5% devojčice. Plućne, skeletne, srčane i digestivne malformacije pojavljuju se kod oko 75% svih slučajeva. Uzrok bolesti nije dovoljno poznat. Homozigotna mutacija na muskarinskom holinergičkom receptoru 3. gena (CHRM3) na hromozomu 1q43 otkrivena je u jednoj porodici. Prenatalno se ultrazvukom mogu utvrditi postojeće anomalije urinarnog trakta. Kada se postavi dijagnoza lečenje je simptomatsko. Hirurškim putem se koriguju abnormalnosti urinarnog trakta i testisa. Tehnološki napredak omogućio je da se ugrađuju  silikonski implanti koji zamenjuju nedostatak mišića trbušnog zida. I pored svega, prognoza je loša,  mrtvorođenost, rana neonatalna smrtnost  usled teških poremećaja pluća i bubrega.

Prikaz slučaja: Novorođenče je upućeno u odeljenje Dečije hirurgije zbog »neobičnog« izgleda trbušne muskulature. Kliničkim pregledom dežurnog pedijatra se postavlja dijagnoza Sy Prune Belly, koja je kasnije potvrđena  u tercijarnoj ustanovi. Pacijent je imao tipičan trijas kliničkih simptoma. Bubrežna insuficijencija je bila uzrok letalnog ishoda u uzrastu školskog deteta.

Zaključak: U Opštini Zaječar, za poslednjih 30 godina to je jedini pacijent sa Prune Belly syndromom, na žalost sa letalnim ishodom. Ovakve situacije otvaraju mnoga medicinska i etička  pitanja. Prevencija ne postoji, a terapija umnogome zavisi od dostupnosti savremenih terapijskih procedura u fetalnom dobu, mogućnosti za fetalnu hirurgiju bubrežnih i drugih anomalija.

Veštački zaslađivači su prehrambeni aditivi koji se koriste za zaslađivanje. Radi se o sintetičkim zamenama za beli šećer koji su od njega mnogo puta slađi, ali se mogu dobiti i proizvodnjom iz nekih biljaka koje prirodno sadrže šećere. Upotreba veštačkih zaslađivača je globalno u porastu u svim uzrasnim grupama, uključujući i decu. Cilj rada je bio analiza aktuelnih literaturnih podataka o veštačkim zaslađivačima, njihovim karakteristikama i dokazima o njihovoj bezbednost koji su od značaja za pedijatre, kao i o prednostima i rizicima njihove upotrebe. Sagledana je relevantna literatura na ovu temu na PUBMed i Scopus bazama podataka na engleskom i dostupna literatura na srpskom jeziku. Svi zaslađivači koji se upotrebljavaju u prehrambenoj industriji podležu strogim ispitivanjima kvaliteta i zdravstvene bezbednosti. Zbog rastućeg trenda gojaznosti, uloga niskokalorijskih zaslađivača može biti značajna za smanjenje energetskog unosa. Veštački zaslađivači se koriste i u ishrani obolelih od dijabetesa i ne utiču na nivo insulina. Dokazano je da je konzumacija odobrenih zaslađivača u granicama prihvatljivog dnevnog unosa bezbedna tokom trudnoće, kao i detinjstvu.

Diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases is quite difficult in childhood. There are no firmly pathognomonic feature of the disease. Frequently, it can mimic many other lung diseases. At the same time, there are many genetically unexplained varieties, new  mutations arise every day and confuse the underlying genetic basis. Therefore, in order to be able to elucidate the genetic etiology of patients with similar phenotype,  clinical data should be collected and  analysed. International network of the confirmed and suspected cases should be established

In this case series, we report three children with interstitial lung disease who had similar clinical findings and family histories but genetically remained unexplained.

A periodontite, as doenças cardiovasculares e a dislipidemia são problemas de saúde que afetam grande parte da população mundial e compartilham diversos fatores de risco. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a influência da condição periodontal no perfil lipídico de pacientes que sofreram infarto agudo do miocárdio. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo descritivo, transversal, realizado na Unidade Vascular Avançada (UVA) e em uma Enfermaria de um hospital filantrópico do Estado de Sergipe. Setenta pacientes responderam a um formulário que continha perguntas sobre dados socioeconômicos e hábitos de vida, sendo excluídos dez pacientes, de acordo com os critérios de exclusão desse estudo. A condição periodontal foi analisada através do Registro Periodontal Simplificado (RPS) e os resultados do perfil lipídico foram obtidos através da consulta aos prontuários. A maioria dos participantes tinha 50 anos ou mais, do sexo masculino, pretos ou pardos, não possuía escolaridade ou estudou até o ensino fundamental, apresentou hipertensão arterial sistêmica, relatou hábito antigo ou frequente de ingerir bebidas alcoólicas, não possuía periodontite ou estava presente em grau leve, possuía alguma perda dentária. Foi observada uma relação estatisticamente significante entre o grau da periodontite e a presença de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, bem como foi associado com a gravidade da periodontite o hábito de fumar antigo ou frequente. Houve também uma associação estatisticamente significante entre o agravamento da periodontite e a presença de biofilme dental visível. Não foi observada relação estatística relevante entre a gravidade da periodontite e elevações nos resultados do perfil lipídico, sendo assim sugerida a produção de mais estudos longitudinais sobre o tema.

ABSTRACT

Divorce is a problem in the marriage relationship that is considered as the final way. Problems regarding divorce are enshrined in conventional fiqh regulations to laws in the Muslim world. Based on the normative study of Islamic law, one of the implications of divorce is the guarantee of the rights that must be fulfilled by the husband after divorce for the former wife and children in the marriage bond. These rights are nafkah iddah, nafkah mut'ah, nafkah nadliyah to hadhanah. For this reason, researchers are interested in studying the topic of women's rights after divorce based on the perspective of conventional fiqh and the laws on marriage that occur in Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt and Turkey, using three analytical glasses. This research uses library research and descriptive analytical approach to examine and analyze phenomena based on literature. So that the results can be found that based on vertical analysis glasses can be known about the comparison between family law and the legislation of each Muslim country. Based on horizontal studies, it can be found that there are similarities between Indonesia and Malaysia, while in Egypt the divorce process must be registered with the knowledge of the wife, and Turkey provides advice on wishes before taking the divorce route. Based on the diagonal study, the four countries are solid and strong in carrying out in accordance with the regulations that have been determined.

Authors: Haider Sanad M.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The study of the attitudes of both sexes towards each of them regarding various social issues, including the status of women in the society is the crucible in which all the social factors that determine these attitudes gather. This study aimed to describe the attitudes of both sexes to make it easier to stand objectively on the extent of agreement or disagreement between them, which makes it possible to stand with the woman’s image and her broad features as she sees and as the opposite sex sees her. Methods: This is a descriptive study in the period 21/12/2022 through 19/01/2023 with a sample of 257 students of medical specialties at the University of Aden (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Medical Laboratory Sciences, and Nursing) who were targeted with a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 65 items to measure seven fields related to attitudes towards the status of women in Aden society. Results: Statistical significance is mostly noted for most items of the attitudes’ subscales. Furthermore, most of the sexes' attitudes on their items were largely in agreement regarding issues related to women and their status in the family and society. Conclusion: There are differences between the sexes in their views in some issues related to women’s status in the family and society. The current study recommends that similar studies should be conducted in other sectors where the daily friction and stresses are greatest due to the nature of the stereotypical roles of men and women.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Since March 2015, children's nutrition in Yemen is increasingly threatened and acute malnutrition is now at serious levels across the country. This study aimed to determine the association between nutritional status and lifestyle practices of basic-public school children in Aden-Yemen. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2022 on a randomly selected basic public schools’ children aged 6-10 years. Lifestyle practices including breakfast consumption at home, physical activity, screen time and sleeping time were assessed by a self-administered questionnaire filled by the parents. Measurement of Z-score was done for height-for-age, weight-for-age and body-mass-index for-age to define stunting, underweight, thinness, overweight and obesity respectively. The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS-25 and World Health Organization’s (WHO) Anthro plus program. Results: The study involved 930 students having the following prevalence: 26.9% for stunting; 32.5% for underweight and 23.1% for thinness. In addition, 1.2% were obese and 3.2% were overweight. According to the binary logistic regression, children aged >8-10 years were more likely to be stunted (AOR=5.269; 95% CI:3.339-8.313), underweight (AOR=9.156; 95% CI: 5.631-14.890) and thin (AOR=3.901; 95% CI: 2.400-6.339) compared to younger age. Male children were more likely to be stunted (AOR= 1.496; 95% CI: 11.091-2.053), underweight (AOR=3.026; 95% CI: 2.195-4.172) and thin (AOR=8.001; 95% CI: 5.313-12.048) compared to female children. Less than daily consumption of breakfast increased the risk of stunting (AOR=1.505; 95% CI:1.109-2.042), underweight (AOR=4.724; 95% CI:3.421-6.524) and thinness (AOR=6.053; 95% CI:4.033-9.084) compared to daily breakfast consumption. Children sleeping < 9 hours was associated with increased risk of stunting (AOR=1.479; 95% CI:1.093-2.001) and thinness (AOR=1.548; 95%CI:1.102-2.176) than sleeping ≥ 9 hours. Additionally, increasing likelihood of overweight (AOR= 50.848 ;95% CI: 6.211-416.301) and obesity (AOR= 8.977;95% CI: 1.098-73.422) was observed among children play outside < 1 hour compared to playing ≥ 1 hour. Furthermore, increasing risk of overweight was associated with children’s screen time ≥ 2 hours compared to < 1 hours (AOR=12.034 ;95% CI: 2.311-62.668). Conclusion: Stunting, underweight and thinness are major nutritional problems among basic public-school children in Aden. Unhealthy dietary and bad lifestyle practices associated with malnutrition indicators. This calls for attention by policymakers to address the challenges of malnutrition and implementing urgent intervention for awareness raising to maintain healthy lifestyle among school children.
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Following Hodgkin Lymphoma in Adult: A Case Report
Authors: Bawahal Ali , Basaleem Huda O.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a very rare disorder, and usually considered a disease of childhood. It is rarely observed in adults. Its etiopathogenesis remains to be elucidated. One possible etiological cause is a reactive proliferation of Langerhans cells following chemotherapy or radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease (HD). Eosinophilic granuloma is the benign accumulation of histiocytes located primarily in the bones, but which also affects other organs, including the skin, lungs and lymph nodes. The time interval between LCH occurrence and previous lymphoma is variable. The occurrence of eosinophilic granuloma in a patient with Hodgkin disease has rarely been reported. Objective: This case report aimed to describe the clinic-pathological, histopathological, immunohistochemical and other features of LCH and to analyze LCH clinical features for improving diagnosis and decreasing misdiagnosis rate. Case report: In this report, a 38-year-old female presented with LCH twenty-two months after diagnosis and treatment of nodular sclerosing HD. The patient presented with generalized lymphadenopathy and general weakness. The Langerhans cells diffusely infiltrated in the inguinal lymph node and the tumor cells were positive for CD1a and S-100 expression. The patient received chemotherapy and show complete remission. Conclusion: LCH has a very rare occurrence following HD in adult. The definitive diagnosis depends on pathological biopsy and immunohistochemistry. Although specific therapeutic approach hasn't been well established, combined chemotherapy for multisystem lesions and surgical operation or radiotherapy for unifocal lesions may improve the therapy.
Alcoholgeassocieerde hepatitis: geschikt voor transplantatie?

Alcohol-associated hepatitis: fit for transplant?

Alcohol-associated hepatitis is one of the most severe stages of end-stage liver failure. In patients not responding to corticosteroids or when this medication is contraindicated, an early liver transplantation is the last treatment option. This article discusses the transplant process and various topics of controversy, such as relapse, outcome, ethics and organ scarcity, with the aim of determining whether these patients are good transplant candidates.

This narrative review is based on 30 sources from various databases.

Patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis not responding to corticosteroids have a high short-term mortality, which often makes a rapid intervention with an early liver transplantation the only option. An abstinence period of 6 months is therefore not possible in this population. The outcome of alcohol-associated hepatitis after the transplantation is similar to that of end-stage alcohol-associated liver disease. Only a small proportion of the patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis relapses after the transplantation, figures corresponding to those of alcoholic liver disease. The literature shows that, according to the principles of medical ethics, severe alcohol-associated hepatitis is a good indication for a liver transplantation, even in the context of the current organ shortage. The good outcome, low recurrence rates and high urgency and utility are the main reasons.

HERITAGE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY IN RELATION TO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT, MOTIVATIONS AND ATTITUDES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MALAYSIAN CHINESE (MAHUA)
Authors: Qian Long , Boon Sim Ng , Ling Yann Wong , Abdul Halim Hazlina
Published: March 2024

Emotional attachment (EA) to the community's language reshapes speakers' identities and aids in maintaining that language in most immigrant societies. Language also serves the social purpose of identifying identity characteristics and significantly impacts social identity development. However, more research is still needed on how Chinese Heritage Language Learners (CHLLs) form their identities, particularly when examining the relationship between this identity construction and language learning (Zhou, 2016). Therefore, this study uses a quantitative approach to explore the correlations between EA and CHLL's motivation and attitudes and the Malaysian CHLL's Chinese language proficiency (CLP) in relation to EA, motivations and attitudes. It also draws on the Chinese Identity Theory (Wang, 1985) and Gardner and Lambert's (1972) psychosocial model. The study found that participants in Malaysian public and private secondary schools showed high CLP in listening, speaking, and reading (over 80%), relatively low scores in writing (around 77%) and positive attitudes toward learning Chinese, high integrative motivation, and low CHL classroom anxiety, according to the study; the distinction is that, while Chinese cultural identity and attitudes toward Malaysian Chinese are thought to be the best predictors of CLP for the public school group, traditional Chinese dress, eating, housing, and transportation are considered to be the best predictors of CLP for the private school group.

Authors: Perumal Thayabaran , Jalaluddin Ilyana
Published: March 2024

In the era of globalisation, the education system in Malaysia has undergone multiple drastic changes from time to time. A different education strategy is essential to impact students' success positively. In the Malaysian education system, Google Classroom replaced VLE-Frog to enhance teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. Technology has gained importance in all stages of education, and Google Classroom is one such tool that is free and has gained popularity quickly. The spread of COVID-19 has affected multiple sectors, including Malaysia's education sector. The decision to close schools during the Movement Control Order (MCO) has caused a severe problem for the learning environment. Therefore, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has taken proactive steps to solve this problem. Most schools carried out online teaching during this period. Teaching and learning recently emphasised online platforms, where Google Classroom is the primary application used in the Malaysian education system. As a teaching aid, Google Classroom can make learning more meaningful and effective. Therefore, this research investigates Google Classroom's effectiveness in developing linguistic accuracy in writing among ESL learners. Findings conclude that Google Classroom is a practical application to enhance linguistic accuracy in writing. Google Classroom is expected to be an essential application for learning English among Malaysian secondary school students. Currently, students have accepted using Google Classroom as a new learning norm. The positive outcomes observed in terms of linguistic accuracy suggest that Google Classroom has the potential to revolutionize the field of ESL education. However, it is essential to acknowledge that effective implementation requires thoughtful pedagogical strategies and ongoing teacher professional development. Additionally, digital access and technological literacy should be considered to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all ESL learners.

Authors: Aziz Anealka , Hamzah Suzana , Che Mat Nur Huslinda , C. Alih Nur Ashiquin
Published: March 2024

Titles in a research project play a crucial role as they serve as the first point of contact for readers, conveying essential information about the study. Despite its brevity, crafting a good research title is a challenging undertaking that demands both time and mental exertion. The title is used to describe the content and purpose of the study using the fewest words possible. Even though students have access to the guidelines on constructing a research title, they still find it overwhelming, as they are unfamiliar with writing research papers and other publications. Considering the post-pandemic era, this study aimed to examine the titles of final-year projects among undergraduate students in the Intercultural Communication program. The analysis focused on the structure of titles, including considerations of length, beginnings, and construction types. It also sought to identify the preferred research areas and settings students chose. Employing a mixed-method design and purposive sampling, this study used only research titles from completed final-year projects. The findings shed light on the structure of titles and the research areas and settings favoured by students. This information could be beneficial for both teachers and students in the teaching and learning how to write research proposals, as well as providing insights into the linguistic areas that students can focus on.
The Effects of Economic Globalization on Indigenous Communities
Authors: Toti Felix
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The general purpose of this study was to look into the effects of economic globalization on indigenous communities.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to economic globalization on indigenous communities. Preliminary empirical review revealed that economic globalization had diverse and often adverse impacts on indigenous livelihoods, cultures, and environments. It found that while some communities experienced short-term economic gains, many faced displacement, land dispossession, and environmental degradation. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of recognizing and protecting indigenous rights, advocating for more inclusive and equitable development approaches. Collaboration between indigenous communities, governments, and civil society is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by economic globalization and promoting sustainable development that respects indigenous sovereignty and fosters social justice.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: World-Systems theory, Cultural Hybridity theory and the Dependency theory may be used to anchor future studies on economic globalization on indigenous communities. The study offered valuable recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy in addressing the challenges faced by indigenous peoples. By synthesizing existing theoretical frameworks and advocating for culturally sensitive development policies, the study provided a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing the impacts of economic globalization on indigenous livelihoods, cultures, and environments. The recommendations emphasized the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge, strengthening legal frameworks for indigenous rights protection, and fostering collaborative partnerships among diverse stakeholders. Overall, the study's recommendations aimed to empower indigenous communities, promote social justice, and advance a vision of sustainable development that prioritizes indigenous well-being.

Authors: Do Carmo Juliano Santos , Marques Burkle Mariana
Published: March 2024

O objetivo central do trabalho é analisar a posição evolucionista proposta por Michael Ruse a respeito da ética no âmbito de primeira e de segunda ordem. Para cumprir com este objetivo, inicialmente distinguiremos a posição evolucionista de Ruse, de fundamentação darwiniana, com a posição evolucionista clássica, de fundamentação spenceriana. Mostraremos como Ruse inicialmente reformula a ética evolucionista spenceriana, tornando o âmbito da ética substantiva descritivo, e não mais prescritivo, a partir da compreensão correta do conceito de altruísmo. No âmbito da metaética, mostraremos como Ruse desenvolve uma posição evolucionista sem recair nos problemas clássicos da lei de Hume e da falácia naturalista. Por fim, mostraremos que a metaética darwiniana de Ruse pode ser considerada como um tipo de teoria do erro. Concluiremos que a proposta de ética e metaética darwiniana de Ruse trazem grandes avanços para a discussão, fortalecendo a importância da biologia na investigação tradicionalmente filosófica.

Published: March 2024

The project is designed to develop an automatic wiper system that switches a motor on or off upon sensing the rain. The advantage of using this method is to reduce manual intervention. Working of a windshield wiper is a manual procedure which requires to be switched on to remove rainfall and debris from the screen. This does not only require driver’s attention, but also, causes a certain level of discomfort to the driver and serves as a source of distraction which increases the risk of accidents. To offer comfort to the driver and essentially reduce the risk of accidents, an automatic rain sensing device has become a necessity. While such a device is available in the market, its high cost and other such limitations have made it less popular in the automobile industry. Aim of this work was to propose another such model in market that limits the cost while maintaining the efficacy. A rain sensor, humidity sensor and arduino are the major components used in the construction and seamless working of the proposed device

Giriş: Gastrik polipler çoğunlukla asemptomatiktir,
özofagogastroduodenoskopide rastlantısal olarak görülür ve
çoğunlukla benign lezyonlardır. Kolon poliplerinden daha az
görülürler ve daha düşük malign potansiyele sahiptirler. Tedavi
planlamasının ana belirleyicisi polibin histopatolojik özellikleridir. Bu
çalışmada, endoskopi ünitemizde saptanan gastrik poliplerin sıklığını,
yaş, cinsiyet ve lokalizasyon dağılımını, histopatolojik özelliklerini,
Helicobacter pylori (HP) ile ilişkisini ve intestinal metaplazi (İM)
varlığını retrospektif olarak araştırmayı amaçladık.
Yöntemler: Ocak 2017 ile Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında
özofagogastroduodenoskopi yapılan 4004 hastanın endoskopi
raporları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Histopatolojik polip saptanan
67 hastanın verileri değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet,
endoskopik muayene bulguları ve histopatolojik verileri hastane
kayıtlarından elde edildi ve retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: İncelenen 4004 hastadan, 67(%1,67) kişide örneklenen
lezyonlar histopatolojik olarak polip olarak değerlendirildi. Polip
saptanan hastaların 41’i (%61,19) kadın ve 26’sı (%38,81) erkekti.
Hastaların ortalama yaşı 60,28 (38-87) idi. Ortalama polip çapı
7,40 (3-60) mm idi. HP 58 hastanın 18’inde (%32,14) pozitifti. IM 56
hastanın 9’unda (%16,07) pozitifti. Bu hastaların 6’sında (%66,67)
HP birlikteliği mevcuttu.
Sonuç: Özofagogastroduodenoskopide polip saptandığında
biyopsi veya polipektomi yapılması, mide rezeksiyonlarında
ise spesmende saptanan lezyonların histopatolojik olarak
değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu değerlendirmenin olası malignitelerin
tespitine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Malignite gelişme
olasılığı nedeniyle polip saptanan hastaların HP ve IM varlığının
araştırılmasının erken tanı ve tedaviye katkı sağlayacaktır.

Ecozoic Leadership: The Next Adjacent Possible for a Flourishing Earth Community
Authors: Saggurthi Suneetha , Farias Gerard , Thakur Munish Kumar
Published: March 2024

The age of the Anthropocene, climate change crisis, growing polarizations, and inequities call for a leadership that will enable movement from devastation and degradation to a flourishing earth community with organizations becoming integral members of the earth community. To this end,
this paper suggests an ecozoic way of leading rooted in cosmic interdependence, power equity, and our biological reality of love. Our suggestion is based on the idea of the ecozoic by Thomas Berry, a cultural historian, and the concept of the adjacent possible from evolutionary biology. We
propose that ecozoic leadership approach is the next adjacent possible to evolve into, in these troubled times. We explore ecozoic leadership in detail and put forward the metaskills required for such leadership. We discuss how ecozoic leadership is in line with the call for organizations
driven by the notion of flourishing, thereby moving towards a new Eden and a post-materialistic society.

Authors: Ferdian Utama
Published: March 2024

Finger painting is one of the most popular art activities among early childhood. In this context, understanding the concept of color is very important. This research aims to develop assistance that helps early childhood children change colors in finger painting using the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color concept into other colors. The results of the service show that this assistance is effective in improving children's understanding of color and encouraging richer creative expression. Children who used this assistance showed an increase in understanding of color mixtures and were able to create more diverse finger painting artworks. This research also has practical implications in the context of early childhood art education and development. Although this activity has some limitations, the results provide a basis for further development in the use of mentoring in early childhood art contexts. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution in enriching young children's art experiences and facilitating a better understanding of the world of color.
