Perceived-teacher Self-efficacy as a Predictor of Job Burnout among a Sample of Lebanese Teachers
Authors:   , Sinno Manal
Published: June 2024

The present study examined the relationship of teacher self-efficacy and general self-efficacy to burnout on a sample of school teachers (N= 112) in Beirut. The study relied on self-report measures where participants were asked to provide demographic work-related information and fill three questionnaires: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSE). Results were computed using analyses of correlations and regression. The results of the study showed that Teacher Self-Efficacy and General Self-Efficacy are positively and significantly correlated; whereas there was no significant relationship with general or with teacher self-efficacy. Further analysis showed that the number of absent days, among all other demographic variables, is the highest predictor of burnout.
Spravedlivá řeč O Apolónovi. K průsečíkům performativity a narativní prózy
Authors: Šorm Martin
Published: June 2024

The study examines the late medieval Old Czech version of the tale of Apollonius of Tyre from the perspective of narratology and traces how an analytical focus on performativity helps to understand its workings. It contextualizes and elucidates the effects of elements in which previous scholarship has recognized innovations in vernacular adaptation over the Latin model. It traces the staging of the conflict of textual authorities and the presentation of speech as a distinctive agent – how it manifests itself, how it thematizes its power and its limits, and what it achieves. It interprets the tale as a stylized reinterpretation of an earlier historical rendering, through the reading of which justice is to be done and the recipients brought to reflect on and control their own emotional responses.
„Vidím a chutnám, že Pán je dobrý“. Smyslový rozměr pozdně středověké (feminizované) devoce "
Authors: Kubartová Eliška
Published: June 2024

The article discusses sensual piety as a distinct phenomenon of medieval performance culture, centred on the body as a site and vehicle for the emergence of social and religious meanings. Cultural practices such as affective meditation, the kissing of devotional images, and the spectatorship of various kinds of religious performances are presented from this somatic perspective employing concepts of sensorimotor imitation, kinesthetic empathy, and visceral seeing from the methodological toolkit of phenomenology and cognitive studies. These terms can be instrumental in explaining the mimetic nature of the theological concept of compassio, which is inherent in all of the above-mentioned practices.
Dělnické divadlo na Ostravsku
Authors: Kravčíková Agáta
Published: June 2024

The article focuses on amateur workers‘ activities in the Ostrava region between 1870 and 1938. The research conducted primarily focused on the area of theatre practices, in this case understood as a set of amateur theatre activities specific to a particular social group in a particular place and time. Such an approach made it possible to examine the issue in broader social and cultural interactions and not to focus the interpretation solely on politically agitational forms of workers‘ theatre. The author of the text also considers the position of workers‘ theatre within a culture that some scholars divide into elite and popular.
Rozptýlení z nucené zahálky. O divadelních produkcích na polárních výpravách v 19. století
Authors: Stehlíková Karolína
Published: June 2024

The article examines the theatrical activities carried out during the winter periods of the 19th and early 20th centuries on scientific expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica. The author focuses on the British polar expeditions that have already been studied, such as those led by Parry, Austin, and Scott, which were characterized by welldeveloped theatrical productions. Additionally, the previously unexplored Austro-Hungarian expedition of Carl Weyprecht and Julius Payer to the Arctic is examined from a similar perspective. While the British Royal Navy used theatre as a means of discipline to control their men, other expeditions saw creative expression as a way to overcome mental and physical difficulties and to maintain morale.

The column temperature was 25⁰C, injected volume was 1 μL. The analysis duration was 10 minutes (the retention time of difenoconazole and 4 – Hydroxybenzoic acid – methyl ester was 1.846 and 1.135 minutes, respectively. The linearity within the concentration range of 750-125 µg mL-1, with the internal standard at a concentration of 250 µg mL-1 with an average correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9998. We have considered precision, repeatability, and selectivity in the validation.
Techniques in Jejunojejunostomy, Gastrojejunostomy, and Esophagojejunostomy in Reduced-Port Gastrectomy
Authors: Min Sa-Hong
Published: June 2024

Minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery aims to reduce morbidity and mortality while maintaining satisfactory oncological outcomes. Laparoscopic gastrectomy is a standard treatment, offering reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. Reduced-port gastrectomy has gained popularity due to its requirement for limited assistants; however, it poses unique challenges. This paper shares the techniques used in three cases of jejunojejunostomy, gastrojejunostomy, and esophagojejunostomy during reduced-port gastrectomy. Reduced-port techniques were successfully implemented in all three cases. Key steps included proper port placement, the use of tagging sutures, and strategic stapler insertion and adjustment. The reduced-port approach demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness despite its inherent challenges. Reduced-port gastrectomy can be effectively performed with a careful technique and meticulous planning, despite the challenges of transitioning from conventional five-port techniques. Using fewer ports results in less pain, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays without compromising oncologic outcomes. These techniques can be helpful for trainees and novice surgeons, though careful candidate selection is paramount.

Authors: Adamenko Yaroslav , Kachala Taras , Chernysh Ruslan
Published: June 2024

The relevance of the study is determined by the issue of assessing the condition and utilization of forest cover within the territory of the Skole Beskydy National Nature Park, as well as the necessity to develop effective methods for monitoring and conserving forest ecosystems. The purpose of the study was to investigate the dynamics of forest cover changes within the Skole Beskydy National Nature Park, as well as to assess the losses of forest resources in this area and recommend the obtained series of images to enhance the forest management system. The research was conducted using a comprehensive approach combining various methods of studying forest cover changes and their comparison. The basis for applying remote sensing technologies was the use of specific multispectral satellite images combined with attribute information on forest land geospatial data. The most progressive methods of studying changes in forest plantations based on remote sensing data using geographic information systems have been demonstrated. Satellite images were obtained from the Landsat 8 satellite data set through the United States Geological Survey data portal. The normalized burn ratio and normalized difference vegetation index are calculated and compared. An analysis was also carried out using the Global Forest Watch online resource. As a result of the study, changes in forest cover were identified, an assessment of the changes was provided, and a map reflecting forest changes that occurred in the Skole Beskydy National Nature Park from 2000 to 2020 was developed. According to the results of the analysis, a low level of losses of forest plantations due to natural factors, including losses from fires, was established. The main part of forest losses is caused by anthropogenic factors. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of using the obtained series of images within public control and improving the forest management system

Authors: Muhammad Arif  , Allah Noor  , Qasim Nawaz  , Mohammad Iftikhar Adil
Published: June 2024

Background: One of the most frequent and unfavourable medical conditions affecting a significant percentage of adult people worldwide is allergic rhinitis. This study set out to provide a thorough overview of a number of pharmaceutical medications that are often prescribed to adults to treat allergic rhinitis.
Study design: a cross-sectional study.
Duration and Place of Study: This study was conducted at Department of ENT Hayatabad Medical Complex Hospital Peshawar between 15th Jan 2022 to 15th Jan 2023.
Material and Methods: on this study included a cohort of 88 adult patients who had received a verified diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. The study evaluated the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported results of three main categories of pharmaceuticals: antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and leukotriene receptor antagonists. The participants were allocated randomly to one of the therapy groups and assessed for a duration of 08 weeks. A range of both objective and subjective outcome measures, including symptom scores, ratings of quality of life, and evaluations of adverse events, were documented and subjected to analysis.
Results: Thirty of the eighty patients received antihistamines, twenty-seven received intranasal corticosteroids, and thirty-one received leukotriene receptor antagonists. The average age of the groups receiving antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and leukotriene receptor antagonists was 38, 39, and 44 years, respectively. Sixty-six percent of the antihistamine group, fifty-four percent of the intranasal corticosteroids group, and sixty-six percent of the leukotriene receptor antagonist group were female. 50% improved in the group using antihistamines, 71% intranasal corticosteroids, and 12% in the group taking leukotriene receptor antagonists. Antihistamine side effects that were most common were headache (8.33%), tiredness (15%), and nasal dryness (11.67%). The symptoms of intranasal corticosteroids were headache (5.45%), drowsiness (3.64%), and nasal dryness (5.45%). Nasal dryness (8.33%), drowsiness (10%), and gastrointestinal issues (8.33%) were the leukotriene receptor antagonists. Participants who used antihistamines (55%), intranasal corticosteroids (82%), and leukotriene receptor antagonists (67%), reported no adverse effects. These results demonstrate that all three treatments had little side effects and were well tolerated.
Conclusion: This study has shown that the administration of intranasal corticosteroids and antihistamines, as opposed to leukotriene receptor antagonists, yields better results for patients with allergic rhinitis in terms of improved quality of life and symptom relief.

Authors: Mohammad Naeem  , Shabina Jaffar  , Khadija  , Muhammad Khurram Zia  , M. Tahir Shah
Published: June 2024

Background: Gestational diabetes and maternal dyslipidemia are linked, although obesity’s role is uncertain. InGDM patients, we examined the relationship between maternal obesity at the first prenatal visit and oral glucosetolerance test (OGTT) fasting lipids.Objectives: The study examines the relationship between maternal dyslipidemia and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM), identifies risk variables, explains processes, and informs pregnancy health measures.Study design: A prospective studyDuration and place of study: from Sep 2021 to March 2022 at Dow University Karachi, PakistanMethods: Dow University Karachi, which graduates around 150 students annually, conducted this prospectiveresearch. Participants 17-20 years old with at least one maternal risk factor for GDM were recruited at their firstprenatal hospital visit. Women with diabetes or multiple pregnancies were excluded. Maternal risk factors and GDMoutcomes were examined by medical records, interviews, and laboratory testing. The research employed descriptivestatistics and logistic regression to find risk variable-GDM relationships. This study examined how risk factors affectGDM incidence in Dow University Karachi’s young women.Results: The study population was classified by GDM status. At the first prenatal session, 150 women accepted theresearch. A substantial correlation was found between maternal factors and gestational diabetes mellitus incidence.GDM risk increased with younger maternal age, averaging late teens. Maternal obesity was a substantial risk factorfor GDM. High fasting cholesterol, especially triglycerides, and total cholesterol were particularly high in the GDMgroup, emphasizing the importance of maternal cholesterol. Family history of diabetes mellitus, previous diagnosis ofGDM, and high BMI were associated with GDM risk. These results emphasize the complexity of GDM developmentand the need for focused prevention.Conclusion: The research examined how obesity affects maternal dyslipidemia and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). The abstract describes the study’s aims and procedures, but not its conclusions. The findings may help usunderstand the complex relationships between maternal obesity, dyslipidemia, and GDM. These findings may helpidentify at-risk pregnant women and develop targeted therapies to improve their health and that of their unborn children. More research and a complete report are needed to properly grasp the study’s advantages to maternal healthcare.Keywords: maternal dyslipidemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and pregnancy complications

Pengeluaran negara indonesia dialokasikan untuk belanja pemerintah pusat dan transfer ke daerah yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2003 tentang Keuangan Negara. Sementara itu, pengelolaan pengeluaran keuangan negara Singapura diatur dalam Undang-Undang Keuangan Singapura (Singapore Financial Procedure Act), dengan pengeluaran negara difokuskan pada pembangunan infrastruktur, pendidikan, dan layanan publik yang berkualitas. Namun dalam pengelolaan pengeluaran keuangan negara masih  terdapat masalah seperti kebocoran anggaran, korupsi, dan inefisiensi dalam pengelolaan pengeluaran negara, serta kurangnya transparansi dan akuntabilitas dalam perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pengeluaran negara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengeluaran keuangan negara Indonesia dan Singapura dengan melihat jenis pengeluarannya, klasifikasi belanja negara dan mekanisme penganggaran dan pengeluaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian ini adalah pengelolaan pengeluaran keuangan Negara Indonesia dibedakan menjadi dua jenis utama, yakni belanja rutin dan belanja Pembangunan. Sedangkan pengeluaran keuangan negara Singapura yang dibagi menjadi dua yaitu pengeluaran operasi, dan pengeluaran pembangunan. Perbedaan kedua negara ini terletak pada sistem pengeluarannya, sistem pengeluaran negara di Indonesia meliputi dua metode pembayaran tagihan kepada negara, yaitu: Metode Pembayaran Langsung dan Melalui Uang Persediaan. Sedangkan Pemerintah Singapura juga menerapkan sistem line-item budgeting dengan kebijakan balance budget yang konsisten. Persamaannya adalah kedua negara memasukkan belanja pembangunan ke dalam jenis pengeluaran negara.

Perilaku balap liar motor dan mobil di kota Surakarta telah meresahkan masyarakat. Perilaku balap liar telah  dikatagorikan sebagai kondisi patologi social sehingga perlu segera  ditindak tegas agar tidak jatuh korban semakin  bertambah . Balap liar dilakukan para remaja tanpa memperhatikan peraturan lalu lintas, tidak menggunakan standart keamanan  berkendaraan motor yang telah ditetapkan ( tidak mengunakan helm,  pelindung jaket dan kaki, knalpot brong, tanpa spion, tanpa plat nomer ). Balap liar sangat membayahakan keselamatan pelaku maupun pengguna jalan di sekitarnya. Balap liar biasanya dilakukan pada waktu malam. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui  gambaran umum balap liar secara nyata dan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penegakan hukum pidana terhadap pelaku balap liar motor ataupun mobil di Satlantas Polresta Surakarta. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan analisis data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa  kegiatan balap liar di Kota Surakarta mayorita dilakukan oleh para remaja yang ingin menunjukkan jati dirinya dan menyalurkan  hobi berkendaraan  akan tetapi tidak memperhatikan peraturan lalu lintas sehingga menimbulkan penyimpangan dan  perbuatan yang melanggar hukum serta kurangnya pengetahuan remaja tentang  peraturan lalu lintas . Penegakan hukum pidana terhadap kegiatan balap liar dilakukan dengan tindakan preventif dan represif. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas penegakan hukum adalah  faktor hukum, faktor penegakan hukum, faktor fasilitas, faktor masyarakat dan faktor budaya. Adanya penegakkan hukum dan sosialisasi pada remaja pelaku balab liar diharapkan dapat meminimalisir adanya kegiatan balap liar di Kota Surakarta.

Perilaku konsumsi minuman keras didaerah kabupaten sukoharjo,provinsi jawa tengah sudah membuat lingkungan disekitar masyarakat menjadi terganggu dan tidak nyaman,perilaku tersebut dapat dimasukan dalam kategori patologi sosial, sehingga pihak berwajib atau dalam hal ini polisi memberikan hukuman kepada pelaku atas tindakan yang merugikan tersebut guna mengurangi dampak negatif di daerah lingkungan masyarakat dan guna memperkecil penyebaran perilaku konsumsi minuman keras tersebut. Para pelaku konsumsi miras biasanya mulai minum kurang lebih antara jam 10 malam hingga 3 pagi, terkadang para pelaku konsumsi minuman keras ini juga membuat keributan di jalan bahkan di sekitar area rumah warga. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan edukasi terhadap masyarakat luas mengenai penegakan hukum yang dilakukan terhadap kegiatan konsumsi minuman keras. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan analisis data kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pelaku dari konsumsi miras ini terdiri dari berbagai jenjang usia antara 18 tahun hingga 50 tahun,akan tetapi mayoritas yang mengkonsumsi miras adalah anak muda berusia 18 hingga 25 tahun. Kondisi ini terjadi karena minimnya pengetahuan anak muda mengenai bahaya dari konsumsi minuman keras dan apa saja akibat  hukum yang disebabkan dari konsumsi minuman keras tersebut, faktor budaya dan lingkungan pergaulan juga menjadi penyebab dari terjadinya perilaku konsumsi minuman keras.
Manosfera y fútbol femenino: análisis del discurso misógino en la comunidad virtual del diario Marca
Authors: Arrieta-Castillo Carolina
Published: June 2024

Los últimos hitos deportivos y de audiencia del fútbol femenino y las luchas de las futbolistas de la selección española por recibir un mejor trato por parte de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol han hecho que los medios de comunicación pongan sobre ellas el foco mediático. En este estudio nos preguntamos por la acogida discursiva que los usuarios de Marca.com, el foro deportivo con mayor difusión en España, han dado a las noticias relacionadas con la lucha de las futbolistas. A través de un estudio de caso en el que se lleva a cabo un análisis crítico discursivo a fin de identificar temáticas relevantes y representaciones sobre las protagonistas, se pretende identificar las características de los discursos de los usuarios de Marca sobre las futbolistas. Los resultados muestran que la comunidad virtual del diario es un espacio próximo a La Manosfera, caracterizado por albergar y difundir discursos de odio hacia las mujeres.

Dormancy in cancer is a clinical state in which residual disease remains undetectable for a prolonged duration. At a cellular level, rare cancer cells cease proliferation and survive chemotherapy and disseminate disease. We created a suspension culture model of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) dormancy and devised a novel CRISPR screening approach to identify survival genes in this context. In combination with RNA-seq, we discovered the Netrin signaling pathway as critical to dormant HGSOC cell survival. We demonstrate that Netrin-1, -3, and its receptors are essential for low level ERK activation to promote survival, and that Netrin activation of ERK is unable to induce proliferation. Deletion of all UNC5 family receptors blocks Netrin signaling in HGSOC cells and compromises viability during the dormancy step of dissemination in xenograft assays. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Netrin-1 and -3 overexpression in HGSOC correlates with poor outcome. Specifically, our experiments reveal that Netrin overexpression elevates cell survival in dormant culture conditions and contributes to greater spread of disease in a xenograft model of abdominal dissemination. This study highlights Netrin signaling as a key mediator HGSOC cancer cell dormancy and metastasis.

Mitotic anaphase onset is a key cellular process tightly regulated by multiple kinases. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in this process has been established in
Xenopus
egg extracts. However, the detailed regulatory cascade remains elusive, and also it is unknown whether the MAPKs-dependent mitotic regulation is evolutionarily conserved in the single cell eukaryotic organism such as fission yeast (
Schizosaccharomyces pombe
). Here we show that two MAPKs in
S. pombe
indeed act in concert to restrain anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) activity upon activation of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). One MAPK, Pmk1, binds and phosphorylates Slp1
Cdc20
, the co-activator of APC/C. Phosphorylation of Slp1
Cdc20
by Pmk1, but not by Cdk1, promotes its subsequent ubiquitylation and degradation. Intriguingly, Pmk1-mediated phosphorylation event is also required to sustain SAC under environmental stress. Thus, our study establishes a new underlying molecular mechanism of negative regulation of APC/C by MAPK upon stress stimuli, and provides an unappreciated framework for regulation of anaphase entry in eukaryotic cells.
