Published: December 2022

The purposeof this study is to identify general trends affecting changes in the values of the output of products from pollock and other commercial species of cod fish, and also includes a comparative analysis of the nutritional value of products from pollock and cod to provide objective recommendations to consumers of fish products.

Methods used: To conduct a comparative analysis, data on the output of frozen products, reference materials and publications on the characteristics of growth, puberty, seasonal changes in biological parameters, fatness coefficient for walleye pollock, northeastern arctic and Baltic cod, Pacific cod were used. In accordance with the “Methodology for determining the consumption rates of raw materials in the production of products from aquatic organisms”, in order to compare the data, the coefficients of consumption of raw materials for the production of products were recalculated.

Novelty:a comparative analysis of the change in the values of the output of products from pollock and the main commercial species of cod fish was carried out for various types of cutting in conjunction with the annual dynamics of biological parameters.

Result:the general trends of changes in the output of pollock, northeastern arctic, Baltic and Pacific cod were determined. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of the nutritional value of products from pollock and cod, recommendations are presented to consumers of fish products.

Practical significance: it has been established that inter-s easonal changes in the output of walleye pollock products average 0,5 %, and the output of Pacific cod changes by 5,4–5,5 %, in northeastern arctic cod the difference in output by season can reach up to 5,7 %, in Baltic cod up to 4,5 %. Cod is more depleted in the pre-spawning period, unlike pollock, so pollock processing is more rational.
Robust Online Tucker Dictionary Learning from Multidimensional Data Streams

Published: December 2022

Big data streaming analytics has recently attracted much attention in the signal and information processing  communities due to the fact that massive streaming datasets have been collected over the years. Among them, many modern data streams are represented as multidimensional arrays (aka tensors), and thus, streaming tensor decomposition or tensor tracking has become a promising tool to analyze such streaming data. In this paper, we propose a novel online algorithm called ROTDL for the problem of robust tensor tracking under the Tucker format. ROTDL is not only capable of tracking the underlying Tucker dictionary of multidimensional data streams over time, but also robust to sparse outliers. The proposed algorithm is specifically designed by using the alternating direction method of multipliers, block-coordinate descent, and recursive least-squares filtering techniques. Several experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of ROTDL for robust tensor tracking.

Network Modeling and Control of Dynamic Disease Pathways, Review and Perspectives
Authors: Hsiao Yen-Che , Dutta Abhishek
Published: December 2022

Dynamic disease pathways are a combination of complex dynamical processes among bio-molecules in a cell that leads to diseases. Network modeling of disease pathways considers disease-related bio-molecules (e.g. DNA, RNA, transcription factors, enzymes, proteins, and metabolites) and their interaction (e.g. DNA methylation, histone modification, alternative splicing, and protein modification) to study disease progression and predict therapeutic responses. These bio-molecules and their interactions are the basic elements in the study of the misregulation in the disease-related gene expression that lead to abnormal cellular responses. Gene regulatory networks, cell signaling networks, and metabolic networks are the three major types of intracellular networks for the study of the cellular responses elicited from extracellular signals. The disease-related cellular responses can be prevented or regulated by designing control strategies to manipulate these extracellular signals. The paper reviews the regulatory mechanisms, the dynamic models, and the control strategies for each intracellular network. The applications, limitations and the prospective for modeling and control are also discussed.

Testimoni Penggunaan Hukum Islam dalam Naskah Serat Ambiyo Pelemgadung Sragen (1907M)
Authors: Sudrajad Ahmad Wahyu
Published: December 2022

Islamic law has been attached to the customs of the Javanese people and has a function as the norm of community life. This Islamic law runs in harmony without having to negate the existing culture. The arrival of the Dutch colonials to the archipelago resulted in changes in the political and social system. The laws and regulations were domesticated by the Dutch colonials and only applied to indigenous peoples. These rules do not necessarily make people leave the law based on Islamic teachings. In this manuscript of Serat Ambiyo Pelemgadung there is an agreement regarding the chapter on leasing based on Islamic law. This chapter is one of the important evidences that Islamic law is still used in society, in addition to the rules made by the Dutch. For more detail in analyzing the chapter, the researcher uses the Testimony analysis from Shoshana Felman. Felman’s study is indeed suitable in this study, especially Islamic law at that time was experiencing repression from the colonial government. The notes in this manuscript are important to be studied as evidence of testimony that Islamic law is still used in Javanese society.

Published: December 2022

Purpose of the study. Improvement of surgical treatment outcomes in patients with advanced cancer of the tongue and the mouth floor providing radical surgery with preservation of the organ functions.

Materials and methods. Two patients with advanced cancer of the tongue and the mouth floor with metastases to lymph nodes in the neck (St.4 (IVA, рT4a N2b M0), clinical group 2, were operated on according to our special technique. The surgery was performed under endotracheal anesthesia. After cervical lymph node dissection, the tongue and the mouth floor tissues were resected intraorally. The incisions were made through their entire thickness along healthy tissues. Smears were taken from the dissected tissues for intraoperative pathology consultation control for the presence of cancer cells. The tissues of the mouth floor affected by the tumor were completely removed without going beyond the hyoglossus muscle, since the lingual and hypoglossal nerves go along its outer surface. This allowed radical tumor removal with preservation of the tongue functions.

Results. Patients operated on according to our special technique have been observed for more than 9 months without continued tumor growth and recurrences tumor with preservation of the tongue and the mouth floor functions.

Conclusion. In such patients, ablastics principles are combined with the preservation of the tongue functions. This can be achieved because after removal of the tongue tumor, resection of the mouth floor is performed without going beyond the hyoglossus muscle not affected by the tumor, since the lingual and hypoglossal nerves go along its outer surface. Complying with ablastics, it preserves the tongue functions: chewing, swallowing, articulate speech, taste perception.

Purpose of the study. Was to analyze changes in pathophysiological parameters of transplantable tumor growth and functional activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT) in rats of both sexes with Guerin's carcinoma in presence of induced hypothyroidism.

Materials and methods. The dynamics of tumor growth and average life span were assessed in white alley rats of both sexes with Guerins carcinoma transplanted subcutaneously on the background of thyreostatic induced hypothyroidism. RIA (radioimmune assay) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) methods were used to determine levels of thyroid hormones in the blood and thyroid and tumor samples, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the hypothalamus, as well as TSH in the pituitary gland. The experiment included 2 control groups: animals of both sexes with hypothyroidism (control group 1, number of rodents = 15) and animals with subcutaneously transplanted Guerin's carcinoma without hypothyroidism (control group 2, number of rodents = 15).

Results. Hypothyroidism in female rats inhibited the tumor growth and improved median survival by 1.8 times (p < 0.05). No such effect was observed in males of the main group. Levels of regulatory peptides of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland declined in females of the main group, while levels of TSH in the pituitary gland in males increased, despite a decrease in TRH by 3.5 times. TSH levels decreased in the thyroid and blood of animals of both sexes; however, a decrease in levels of total and free circulating thyroxine (T4 and FT4) by 1.6 times and by 2.8 times was found in the tumor, respectively; samples of Guerin's carcinoma in males of the main group remained saturated with T4 and FT4 as well as and in control group rodents without induced hypothyroidism.

Conclusions. The gender differences in the pathophysiology of the tumor development in presence of hypothyroidism, as well as changes in the functional activity of the HPT axis in experimental animals revealed in this study can probably be associated with sex hormones, which requires further study of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and steroid hormones in peripheral organs and tumor samples.

Purpose of the study. To study the features of the local distribution of populations of immune system cells in patients with non-invasive muscular bladder cancer of various degrees of malignancy.

Materials and methods. The study included 51 patients with newly diagnosed non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (papillary urothelial carcinoma) who received complex treatment and follow-up after 9 months at the oncourological department of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 – with a tumor of low malignant potential (Low grade – LG), n = 31; group 2 – with a tumor of high malignant potential (High grade – HG), n = 20. After 6–9 months, 24 patients were diagnosed with a relapse of the disease – in 48,4 % in patients of group 1 (n = 15) and in 45 % – in group 2 (n = 9). In cell suspensions obtained from the primary and recurrent tumors, as well as the perifocal zone, the relative number of populations of immunocompetent cells was estimated using flow cytometry. A comparison was made of the content of individual populations of lymphocytes in the tumor tissue, the perifocal zone of primary and recurrent lesions of various degrees of malignancy. Statistical processing was performed using Statistica 13.0.

Results. The development of a recurrent tumor of low malignant potential is accompanied by the involvement of cells of innate immunity (NK- and NKT-lymphocytes) into its microenvironment, which is associated with an imbalance in the number of main cells of adaptive immunity – a fairly pronounced decrease in the tumor of T-lymphocytes of the helper-inductor type was noted with a constant content cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, as well as the multidirectional nature of changes in DP- (decrease) and DN-lymphocytes (increase). A feature of the development of a recurrent tumor of high malignant potential is that it is accompanied by the involvement of innate immunity cells (NK- and NKT-lymphocytes) into its microenvironment, as well as multidirectional changes in DP- (decrease) and DN-lymphocytes (increase).

Conclusion. Studies of the population composition of tumors and their perifocal tissues of NMIBC revealed a number of features that are reflected in the redistribution of cytolytic cells, the formation of immunosuppressive conditions, which are reflected both in the manifestation of the biological properties of tumor cells and in changes in the cellular composition of bladder tissues involved in the process. development and progression of cancer.

Published: December 2022

Abstract:
Background: Bleaching is a conservative treatment and has been shown to be both efficient and safe but the effects of bleaching on teeth and dental materials have been studied in several studies.
Objective: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the surface roughness of resin composites before and after applying different bleaching materials.
Material and method: Three types of resin composites were used in this in vitro study. Two types of bleaching techniques were used: in office and at home bleach. Sixteen specimens of each resin composite type were fabricated and used in this study. Surface roughness of the samples was measured using a profilometer (Talysurf CLI 1000, Leicester, England). The surface roughness measurements and data were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests through SPSS version 21 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA). The assessment of surface roughness was done using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The assessment of surface roughness by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests showed significant differences for composite material types as well as an interaction between these parameters for each tested bleaching gels (P<.05).
Conclusion: The composition of both resin composite and bleaching material play an important role in initiation and conduction of surface roughness at the outer surface of resin composite restoration.

Authors: Insanu Muhamad , Pramasatya Hegar , Buddhisuharto Anastasia Karina , Tarigan Chrisanta , Zahra Aliya Azkia , Haniffadi Ariranur , Sabila Nurma , Fidrianny Irda
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Free radical is unstable and highly reactive, which may lead to oxidative stress that causes various diseases, that is, diabetes mellitus. Antioxidant can prevent oxidation process by scavenging free radicals. Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a native tropical fruit that can easily be found in Indonesia. When the flesh is commonly eaten, the unused parts – such as the leaves, fruit peels, and pulps will be considered waste to be thrown away. However, these unused parts of Jackfruit are rich in antioxidant compounds that potentially can work as therapeutic agents.

AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant properties of leaves, peels, and pulps of A. heterophyllus by calculating their antioxidant activity index (AAI) with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Cupric Ion-Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) method; total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC); observing the correlation between TPC and TFC with AAI DPPH and CUPRAC; as well as the correlation between AAI DPPH and CUPRAC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Extraction process was carried out using reflux method using three different polarity solvents. UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to determine the TPC, TFC, AAI DPPH, and AAI CUPRAC. Pearson’s method was used to observe the correlation between TPC and TFC with AAI DPPH and CUPRAC, as well as the correlation between both methods.

RESULTS: The AAI in DPPH method were varied from 0.0310 to 36.8852, while CUPRAC from 0.1156 to 1.2503. Ethanol leaves extract gave the highest TPC value (5.53 g GAE/100 g) and n-hexane peels extract exposed the highest TFC value (16.07 g QE/100 g). The correlation between TPC and AAI of leaves, peels, and pulps extracts with DPPH method, as well as between TFC and AAI CUPRAC of peels extracts was positive and significant. Rutin was determined as the marker compound, valuing at 0.0106%.

CONCLUSION: Phenols and flavonoids (including rutin) content contributed to DPPH and CUPRAC antioxidant activity. The antioxidant property between both methods was not linear in leaves, peels, and pulps extracts. Unused parts (peels and leaves) of A. heterophyllus might be potential to be developed as natural antioxidant sources.

Published: December 2022

Background: In August 2020, a brain chip was announced as implantation in the human brain targeted to boost brain activity without significant side effects.
The aim of this work was to examine the level of knowledge, awareness, and public concerns about the use of brain chip implants.
Methods: An online cross-sectional survey targeted 326 adults from more than five countries in the Middle East and North Africa during the period from May 2021 to July 2021. The data was collected through a validated self-administrated questionnaire composed of five sections. The collected data were coded and analyzed using suitable tests and methods.
Results: According to our results, 54.6% of the study participants mentioned that they had heard about the Brain Chip Implant; while only 6.1% stated that they knew its importance. The most common reported indication for the Brain Chip Implant was improving memory, followed by treatment of epilepsy and improving mental function. Brain Chip Implant safety seemed to be the most common public concern, as most of the participants were hesitant about using it and had concerns regarding its safety.
 Conclusion: Medical personnel seems to be the most concerned about the use of the brain chip implant. Safety measures, confidentiality, and security procedures, respectively, are the major issues that might limit the broad use of the brain chip implant.

Women are less likely to be referred to and complete CR programs than men resulting in poorer cardiac outcomes. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study examined women’s reasons and barriers for attending and completing a CR program. Findings suggest women choose to complete CR programs based on their experiences while attending the program. Discussions of strategies for enrolling women and maximizing their experiences are identified as well as areas of future research for improving women’s experiences of cardiac rehabilitation.
Retour sur le statut épistémologique de l’expressivité en linguistique, au regard de l’École genevoise de linguistique générale
Authors: Curea Anamaria
Published: December 2022

Cette contribution examine le statut épistémologique de l’expressivité en linguistique, à partir des approches de cette problématique par les linguistes genevois Bally, Sechehaye et Frei. La stabilisation du domaine notionnel se réalise à travers le lien envisagé entre l’expressivité et l’expression, qui offre un espace à trois éléments potentiellement déstabilisateurs en linguistique : la variation, la subjectivité et la contingence. Le modèle théorique élaboré par les trois linguistes se caractérise par la conception d’un cadre pour la variation, par la pensée de la gradualité et par l’extension nécessaire du corpus à des exemples dont l’explication suppose une prise en considération du rapport entre la langue et le sujet.
De l’expressivité des figures du discours
Authors: Bonhomme Marc
Published: December 2022

Cet article analyse les rapports étroits entre l’expressivité et les figures du discours dont on a souligné les liens avec la subjectivité. Une première section met en évidence les problèmes posés par la notion d’ expressivité figurale . Si les recherches sur les figures relèvent souvent leur nature expressive, celle-ci est décrite de façon lacunaire. S’appuyant sur trois figures représentatives, une seconde section envisage l’expressivité figurale comme un processus discursif impliquant plusieurs niveaux d’analyse. Sur le plan infradiscursif, les figures recèlent un potentiel expressif dû à l’orientation de leurs matrices rhétoriques. Sur le plan discursif, elles possèdent une portée expressive, en ce que leurs saillances font voir une activité énonciative marquée. Enfin sur le plan interdiscursif, elles se traduisent par des effets expressifs qui peuvent converger ou non avec leur portée expressive.
Formes de la prédication phrastique et expressivité
Authors: Laurent Nicolas
Published: December 2022

Notre contribution porte sur deux grands ensembles de prédications phrastiques typiques, dégagés à partir de la lecture des remarques de Guillaume concernant la notion d’ expressivité  : d’une part, les interjections émotives et les énoncés en première personne du type J’ai mal à la tête , d’autre part, les phrases construites à partir d’un présentatif corrélatif c’est … qu- , il (n’) y a (que) … qu- , ce qu- …, c’est . L’analyse de ces deux ensembles essaie de montrer que la notion d’ expressivité gagne à être théorisée dialectiquement et cinétiquement – et, par voie de conséquence, selon une pensée systématique, qui accorde toute sa place à la langue –, et qu’elle est heuristiquement féconde pour l’étude de la prédication et du sujet (d’énonciation, d’énoncé) : elle peut faire comprendre ce que l’on fait quand on prédique .

Authors: Wei Mingquan , Liu Xiaoyu
Published: December 2022

In this note, we introduce the discrete (weak) central Morrey spaces, which are central versions of discrete (weak) Morrey spaces. The sharp bounds for discrete Hardy operator from discrete central Morrey spaces to discrete weak central Morrey spaces are proven to be equal to 1. As an application, we obtain the weak version of the well-known discrete Hardy inequality.
Functional extreme learning machine for regression and classification
Authors: Liu Xianli , Zhou Yongquan , Meng Weiping , Luo Qifang
Published: December 2022

Although Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) can learn thousands of times faster than traditional slow gradient algorithms for training neural networks, ELM fitting accuracy is limited. This paper develops Functional Extreme Learning Machine (FELM), which is a novel regression and classifier. It takes functional neurons as the basic computing units and uses functional equation-solving theory to guide the modeling process of functional extreme learning machines. The functional neuron function of FELM is not fixed, and its learning process refers to the process of estimating or adjusting the coefficients. It follows the spirit of extreme learning and solves the generalized inverse of the hidden layer neuron output matrix through the principle of minimum error, without iterating to obtain the optimal hidden layer coefficients. To verify the performance of the proposed FELM, it is compared with ELM, OP-ELM, SVM and LSSVM on several synthetic datasets, XOR problem, benchmark regression and classification datasets. The experimental results show that although the proposed FELM has the same learning speed as ELM, its generalization performance and stability are better than ELM.

The PETaL Approach to Bilingual and Intercultural Education in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Gómez-Parra María-Elena
Published: December 2022

García and Flores state that new pedagogies must respond to the complex bilingualism of students and to the heterogeneous classes of the 21st century. The main goal of this chapter is to describe the theoretical foundations of a new approach to bilingualism and interculturality in Early Childhood Education (ECE) called “the PETaL approach”, whose acronym stands for “Play, Education, Toys, and Languages”. PETaL is an approach and not a methodology in that it is a flexible model of bilingual implementation that adapts its key methodological principles to the particular context in which it is developed. Moreover, it is an approach that entails intercultural education as a constitutive axis of accommodation and plasticity, which are sine qua non conditions of it. The PETaL approach is framed in the European space, which offers a suitable international and socio-educational context where it has begun to be experimented and which has already attached itself to incipient research.
Developing Preschoolers' Computational Thinking Skills Through Digital Gameplay
Authors: Lavigne Heather , Orr Jillian , Wolsky Marisa , Brunner Borgna , Wright Amanda
Published: December 2022

This chapter provides an overview of how digital media can be leveraged to support the exploration of developmentally appropriate computational thinking (CT) skills for preschoolers. These skills, named CT Core Ideas in the project team's framework, support children's abilities to tackle problems or goals using systematic, computational strategies. The authors describe a theoretical model that outlines the ways in which CT aligns with preschool math instruction, and how children can apply their CT skills through digital gameplay. This chapter also shares lessons learned from classroom research with teachers and children and describes several game prototypes that children played to practice their CT skills. At the end of the chapter, they provide recommendations for how educators can support young children's CT by integrating hands-on gameplay into classroom instruction.
Speech and Language Acquisition in the Context of Remote Learning
Authors: Terlop Rachel E.
Published: December 2022

The standards and recommended practices set in place for early childhood educators serve as a guide for educators in knowing the most important considerations for educational practice. The early childhood education standards for in-person and remote learning share seven commonalities. The seven commonalities are (1) continued learning for educators, (2) classroom environment and social emotional learning (SEL), (3) knowledge of students and developmentally appropriate practice (DAP), (4) assessment, (5) pedagogy, (6) instructional design and/or digital learning platforms, (7) reflection and feedback. QR codes are used throughout to provide the author's personal examples of how instruction was adapted and shown to students and families during the pandemic via text messaging applications.
Pedagogical Storytelling Material for Children Regarding Online Safety
Authors: Brito Rita , Dias Patricia
Published: December 2022

The Portuguese Ministry of Education developed a collection of three stories for supporting kindergarten teachers in exploring the theme of online safety with preschoolers. These stories were created in book and digital animation formats. The authors took these three stories to three kindergartens to test their efficacy in scaffolding learning and acquisition of digital skills. This exploratory pilot case study revealed several insights worth pursuing in further research: 1) kindergarten teachers acknowledge that children are digitally immersed at home and consider that exploring the theme of online safety with young children is imperative; 2) in spite of enjoying digital media very much, children were more attentive and retained more information when they were told the stories using the books than when they watched the digital animations, claiming that they “connected” more easily with the storyteller. In the future, the research will provide guidelines for the development of more pedagogical materials on online safety and test them in kindergartens on a national scale.
A Meta-Analysis on the Effects of Learning with Robots in Early Childhood Education in Korea
Authors: Park Sung-Deok , Kim Eun-Jung , Kim Kyung-Chul
Published: December 2022

This meta-analysis examines the effects of learning with robots (r-learning) on young children and, on this basis, gives suggestions for using robotics in education for young children. A test of homogeneity was performed for 27 Korean studies done between 2008 and 2016 and a random effect model introduced to reveal the effect sizes. The overall effect size was medium to large at 0.72. After analyzing gaps in effect sizes with different categorical moderator variables, the authors found significant differences depending on platform type, activity type, dependent variables for r-learning effect, and age. The study also investigates relationships between effect size and continuous moderator variables such as treatment period and year of publication. The meta-regression model showed a significantly negative relationship between effect size and year of publication. Thus, effects of r-learning on a young child are generally beneficial, and r-learning also improves variables like a child's social nature, though conversely the effect on language development appears below average.
Motor Intervention Program for Improving the Learning of English Vocabulary in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Padial-Ruz Rosario , García-Molina Raquel , Cepero-González Mar , González M. Esther Puga
Published: December 2022

Despite the widespread perception that the preschool stage is a physically active stage, current studies indicate that levels of physical activity (PA). Of the different environments in which PA engagement may be promoted, the school setting is one of the most important. Thus, there is a need to investigate further in this area in order to propose research designs and interventions which can be evaluated. An innovative and recently researched method is the integration of movement within classroom activities which goes beyond break time activity and the implementation of government mandated curricular physical education sessions. Specifically, the current chapter addresses the combination of basic physical activity and academic lessons as an approach for teaching English language vocabulary. Results from research studies to have developed interventions using this methodology provide positive outcomes regarding effectiveness in terms of increasing physical activity, motivation, and cognitive performance at early ages.
Aligning Preschool and Kindergarten Classroom Learning Experiences
Authors: Franko Meg Deane , Zhang Duan
Published: December 2022

The focus of transition from preschool to kindergarten is often placed on what can be done to prepare the child. Relatively little emphasis is placed on how differences between learning experiences across settings might impact the child's transition from one setting to the other. This chapter presents the results of secondary data analysis of the 2009 FACES study that show that the alignment of prekindergarten-kindergarten (PK-K) learning experiences impacts children's kindergarten outcomes. In particular, HLM modeling found that children who had at least as many or more activity-based centers in their classrooms in kindergarten as they had in prekindergarten showed significantly better literacy and math outcomes at the end of kindergarten than children who had less or no activity-based centers in kindergarten. This chapter advocates for a systemic focus on transition that puts an emphasis on continuing developmentally appropriate practices between preschool and kindergarten settings as a way to facilitate transitions and improve outcomes for young children.
The Outdoor Education Practices (OEP) in the Development of Sustainable Behaviours in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Caballero-Blanco Pablo , Lasaga-Rodriguez Maria Jose
Published: December 2022

In this chapter, the authors present an intervention that was aimed to increase the realization of outdoor education practices (OEP) and, using the scientific method, they evaluate the effects of such practices on both teachers and students. The incorporation of OEP in the teaching-learning process and the perception of teachers toward its effects on the students were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed through semi-structured interviews and using a teacher diary. Such approach began with a diagnostic questionnaire designed to reveal the use that the teachers make of this type of practices, their degree of training regarding these practices, the opinion of the teachers about the educational potential of OEP, limiting factors and propositions to improve their incorporation. From the results of the diagnosis, methodological guidelines were established between the early childhood education teachers and the researchers to quantitatively and qualitatively improve OEP.

Published: December 2022

This chapter explores the role that mindful self-care practices play in helping students transition into attending school for the first time. Self-care practices are described in this chapter based on a thorough review of the literature focusing on the benefits for young students in early childhood educational settings. A thorough review of the literature has provided insight into five areas that address the following topics: (1) defining the concept of mindful self-care, (2) the impact of mindfulness practices on self-care, (3) the significance of modeling in learning to be self-cared, (4) benefits of self-care in the early childhood transitionary period, (5) long-term benefits of implementing self-care skills as socio-emotional competencies in early childhood, (6) implications for earlier public schooling, (7) educating starting at birth.
Focusing Interrelations of Education Plans and Social Inequality in Early Childhood
Authors: Nienhaus Sylvia
Published: December 2022

Contributing to research on social inequality in early childhood, this chapter addresses the relevance of education plans in institutional early childhood education and care (ECEC) towards fostering children's educational advancement. To do so, results are discussed from an ongoing research project focusing on 3-6-year-old children's social-emotional skills (SES, taken as an important marker of educational advancement). Next, taking a qualitative multilevel stance, interviews with ECEC providers' representatives in Lower Saxony, Germany were analyzed with regard to challenges in advancing SES, showing interrelations as well as discrepancies between ECEC politics and practice, questioning the impact of education plans on reducing social inequality in early childhood.

Authors: Ajayi Hannah O. , Adelokun Adedapo
Published: December 2022

Considering the importance of the early childhood period in the life of every child, experts have advocated the provision of a safe, secure, and enabling environment in care centres to help children develop appropriately. The place of leadership in childcare settings may not be detached from the provision of enabling environments that will enhance the all-round development of children. This chapter, therefore, focuses on the part leadership could play in early childhood care and education, analyzing the situation in the Nigerian ECCE settings and discusses different leadership approached for effective leadership that may give room for the centre and societal sustainability.

Published: December 2022

Effective leadership in early childhood is vital for quality early childhood care and education. There is a need for a comprehensive and coordinated system of early childhood leadership training. To create fiscally sound early childhood programs with learning environments that nurture and challenge young children and with work environments that develop, support, and retain skilled teachers, program directors capable of strong leadership are essential. There is a need to establish policies and pathways to ensure early childhood leaders are well prepared. The purpose of this study was to identify sets of characteristics that are essential for effective early childhood leadership and explore the challenges early childhood leaders encounter in an effort to become effective leaders. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends relational leadership as an essential component of the framework for effective leadership in early childhood education.
