Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is both to characterize and gain insight about the highly sensitive people (HSP) in the workplace, with the main goal of a better integration of them into the labor market and enhancement of their professional wellbeing. This research is part of the High Sensitivity (HS) series which approached the feature of sensory processing sensitivity in children (E-MOTION Project), adults (High Sensitivity – Inovative Module in Human Sciences Project) and employees (PRO-MOTION – Sensitive Career Management Project). Knowing the characteristics and the functioning of the HSP as employees may lead to much more efficient and effective career planning for them. Thus, we conducted both a qualitative and a quantitative study in order to gain insight and knowledge about the integration and wellbeing of the HSP on the labor market. The qualitative analysis addresses both the employer and the employee level and the quantitative analysis the employee level only. The further goal is to use these findings to value the resources and potential of the HS employees to achieve better work and organizational adaptation and performance on the labor market. The active participation in the study of the end users will assure that the results are based on real needs and real life situations encountered on the labor market.

Published: April 2024

In the program of the educational curriculum of Republic of Moldova a multidisciplinary team of specialists is working on an individual program of psycho-correctional assistance for each student in auxiliary school No. 6. Not only a speech therapist and a special teacher work with students with ASD, but also a kinetotherapist, with physical exercises, where tasks are set to develop motor skills (movements), coordination, balance, auditory attention and perception, speech activation through oral counting or appeals - requests, the development of interaction between children within the framework of the kinetotherapy lesson, the formation of arbitrary regulation of behavior based on physical exercises, outdoor games, as well as motor tasks that will solve not only important physical, but also psychological developmental tasks. The purpose of the study at this stage was to study the features of the influence of the environmental (therapeutic) environment on the development of psychomotor and communication skills in children with autistic disorder. The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the psychomotor skills of children with autistic disorders and children with developmental disabilities. The results obtained in individual lessons become sustainable and extend to other situations, places, people interacting with the student. A student who has established contact in a physical lesson will now more easily interact with a speech therapist or special teacher and in order to provide psycho-corrective work with a child with autism, we are specialists, we understand that creating a therapeutic environment is the key to success.
The importance of emotional intelligence in the school adaptation of the child with special educational needs
Authors: URSU Miluța
Published: April 2024

Emotional intelligence: man’s ability to motivate himself and persevere in the face of frustrations; to control one’s impulses and delay gratification; to regulate his moods and prevent troubles from clouding his thinking; to be persistent and to hope. To cope with emotional stress we need to develop our emotional skills. Modern life today has created emotional challenges that are increasingly difficult to manage. Due to the general development of the child, the diversification of relations with the environment, his inner life supports new psychic dimensions. The child possesses a diversity of emotions and feelings, the progressive manifestation of which is largely due to the transition from the plan of the restricted group of the family to the collectivity. The child’s mental reactions to everything that is new in his life also implies emotional involvement, which manifests itself through different reactions at different times. The ambiguity of situations causes him anxiety, which explains the rapid transition from one affective state to another. ffective processes are closely related to motivation: emotions are conditioned by motives, but in turn some of the acquired motives were originally emotions.

Published: April 2024

School modernity is experiencing the most acute symptom of the moral crisis. This fact is confirmed by failure, school dropout, illiteracy, school violence, etc. The concept of school citizenship, launched by the UN Commission on Global Governance (1995), proposes a common grid of rights and responsibilities that could form the basis of school citizenship. Translating them into current educational practices would lead to a school model as a space of the law, which would contribute to the creation of open learning spaces.
Community in sociological vision
Authors: ZUBENSCHI Ecaterina
Published: April 2024

The community is a social-human entity. In the sociological view, the community appears as a totality of beliefs, value orientations, interests. Although it cultivates the spirit of unity of the members, the collective voice, the community does not mean simple and primitive social relations. It presents itself as a complex organization, often with rigid institutional norms, bringing together similar interests, often negotiated by the members (the case of the „scientific community” or the „business community”). The community represents one of the main source of solving a wide spectrum of social problems. The systematization of sociologists’ views on community, allows us to identify a number of potential and real, necessary and sufficient reasons for community identification.

The well-being and emotional reactions of students are important issues in modern teaching. On the other hand, students’ deficient linguistic and functional literacy in Serbia is noticeable. Therefore, the main goal of this paper was to investigate attitudes of students ‒ preservice teachers ‒ towards teaching Serbian grammar from the aspect of their own emotions. The sample consisted of 40 second and third year undergraduate students (department Class teacher) from the Faculty of Education in Jagodina, University of Kragujevac. In the first phase of the research, the observational research method was applied, and in the second, group interviews were conducted together with discourse analysis. The results have shown that, from the students’ perspective, teaching grammar and orthography is neglected in secondary schools, and, unlike teaching literature, it is perceived as uninteresting and unstimulating by the majority of students at all levels of education. The respondents believe that the role of the teacher is crucial for students’ positive emotions. However, even when the teacher is approachable, when they themselves need to communicate in class, negative emotions prevail (discomfort, anxiety, even fear). The factor that most often leads to the lack of will to communicate is the fear of making a mistake and of teacher’s and peers’ reactions. Therefore, most respondents see their position in Serbian language teaching as passive and reactive, and their self-confidence is marked as low.

This paper examines two important topics relevant to the field of positive education: a) intellectual giftedness as one of the inherently positive characteristics of students and b) teachers’ beliefs about gifted students. Teachers are considered to be representatives of educational institutions whose role is to contribute to the development of positive characteristics and enable positive subjective experiences of all students. Positive education relies on students’ cognitive and non-cognitive strengths and tends to contribute to their academic achievement and well-being. An important prerequisite for positive education of gifted students is that teachers understand their characteristics and educational needs. Teachers who do not understand intellectually gifted students’ characteristics can contribute to their academic underachievement and dissatisfaction in the educational context, mainly due to the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecy. In this paper, research findings regarding teachers’ beliefs about non-cognitive characteristics of gifted students, their status in the peer group and the nature of student–teacher relationship are being compared with the findings of previous empirical research studies which investigated gifted students’ personality traits and their actual relationships. The comparison indicates that teachers’ assessments regarding certain personality dimensions are accurate – when they perceive gifted students as more open to experiences, equally conscientious and less agree- able than typical students. In contrast, teachers mistakenly attribute elevated neuroticism and introversion to the gifted, which is inconsistent with the well-established research findings about the personality traits of gifted students. Findings on the perception of gifted students’ elationships with typical peers and teachers also indicate that they are perceived as maladjusted and having socio-emotional issues. This perception might be due to gifted students’ negative reactions to inappropriate educational settings and teachers’ misinterpretation of these reactions. It is also possible that certain characteristics, which are more often present in gifted students – more pronounced assertiveness, less pronounced gregariousness, as well as lower scores on the facets of modesty, altruism, tender-mindedness and lower agreeableness in general – are negatively interpreted and perceived as undesirable. We argue that teachers should modify their peceptions ‒ instead of considering giftedness as vulnerability they should consider it as a resource. This would contribute to teachers’ competencies for positive education of gifted students including their cognitive and socio-emotional development. Besides, it would possibly increase the likelihood of the gifted students’ satisfactory relationships with their teachers and thе overall more positive experience of education.

Working in a positive atmosphere that contributes to positive thinking, personal happiness, progress, productivity, health, emotional and social literacy of аn individual and the entire collective, establishing quality relationships with the environment, is made possible by the implementation of positive psychology in the educational process. Positive interventions in educational institutions are intentional actions aimed at increasing the well-being of participants. Child development includes the ability to form positive relationships, self-esteem, effective and free expression of feelings and emotion regulation, as well as persistence and positive engagement in challenging tasks, and adoption of positive attitudes in a dynamic environment. The aim of the research is to examine whether outdoor activities, in a natural environment rich in various stimuli, contribute to the feeling of happiness and satisfaction of preschool children. For this purpose, an intervention was implemented in the environment of a kindergarten yard that included (1) the integration of musical education, art education, and ecology contents, (2) learning in a natural environment, (3) guest – lecturers, and (4) cooperation of children from different age groups within the joint daily project. A semi-structured interview and field notes were used in this qualitative research. The results show that during the intervention the children were satisfied, in a good mood, interested and motivated to work and participate, and open in communication with the guest lecturers, towards whom they also showed affection. Observed positive feelings expressed by the children were joy, elation, surprise, interest, and curiosity. During this expressive-artistic activity, children acquired and freely exchanged ideas with other children and participants, and better social interaction was observed. The procedures and environment used in the intervention had a stimulating effect on the children and thus caused positive emotions and contributed to subjective well-being. Further research can be focused on the involvement of children in similar interventions, activities of the children in various ambiances, as well as connecting the content of various areas through expressive-artistic engagements.

The paper deals with teaching Music in the first cycle of primary education in the Republic of Serbia from the point of view of the presence of cultural identity content in Music curricula. The goal of the paper is to investigate to what extent the Music curricula enable the achievement of the learning outcomes related to creating cultural identity, and to what extent they offer a clear guideline for learning about cultural identity. Therefore, a review of both international and national documents related to the development of culture and identity in education are given. In addition, the Music curricula are analysed in order to determine whether they contain elements that support learning about cultural identity. The descriptive research analysis method and the secondary analysis of the documents (laws, curricula) related to education and cultural identity are used in the research. The main findings of the research show that the analysed curricula 1) are aligned with international and national documents that regulate the field of education and develop a strategy for connecting cultural and educational policies; 2) they enable learning about culture and identity and create a basis for the creation of cultural identity. It is necessary, however, that Music curricula broaden their cultural basis and serve the purpose of developing children’s intercultural competencies.

Published: April 2024

The main causes of postoperative mortality associated with percutaneous coronary interventions involving the coronary artery stent insertion are perioperative myocardial infarction and acute heart failure due to inadequate protection of the myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion. The standard therapy includes beta blockers, anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs. Two clinical cases of successful use of intravenous levocarnitine for cardioprotection in senile patients with acute forms of coronary heart disease with multivessel lesions are reported. The postoperative period went well, smooth dynamics of biomarker levels (troponin I, creatine phosphokinase, MB fraction of creatine phosphokinase) was observed, and ischemic ECG changes were relatively small. The expected results of the technique application include reduction of intraoperative and postoperative complications of ischemia/reperfusion and the increase in effectiveness of the stent insertion clinical outcomes in high-risk patients.

Published: April 2024

Introduction of point genetic associations into clinical and laboratory diagnosis will allow the physician to determine the risk of severe diabetes mellitus and its complications with a focus on detection of the genetically determined disorder. The study was aimed to identify the molecular genetic markers of severe diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) based on the GSTP1 (I105V) gene assessment. Genotyping of the GSTP1 gene I105V locus was performed in patients with type 1 and 2 DM. Then we identified the features of oxidative status, free radical oxidation, and renal function in patients with various polymorphic variants of the studied gene. Patients with type 1 DM, who were carriers of the GSTP1 heterozygous polymorphic variant (Ile/Val), showed higher activity of the oxidative stress enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, catalase) and malondialdehyde compared to homozygous carriers (р < 0.001, р < 0.001, р < 0.05). They also showed a significant increase in the levels of triglycerides (1.6-fold) and the glycated hemoglobin levels (1.1-fold) (p < 0.05). Patients with type 2 DM, who were carriers of the GSTP1 polymorphism homozygous for allele 2 (Val\Val), had a higher level of malondialdehyde (100.5 µmol/L, (р < 0.001)), which was associated with the more severe diabetic nephropathy (average glomerular filtration rate — 48 mL/min/1.73 m2, 24-h urinary albumin excretion — 0.9 g/L; р < 0.01). It has been proposed to assess the GSTP1 (I105V) gene in individuals with type 1 and 2 DM. This polymorphism that is heterozygous in individuals with type 1 DM and homozygous for allele 2 in individuals with type 2 DM is unfavorable in terms of the DM course and complications.
Expert assessment of the requirements for assigning professional grades to physicians
Authors: Misharin VM , Kochubey AV
Published: April 2024

Shortcomings of the categorization system include weakness of the normative regulation oriented towards the outdated ideas about the qualification and formal features of professional development. It is often proposed to objectify measuring the professional competence of the subjects evaluated in order to improve the categorization system. The study was aimed to test the qualification requirements of physicians for the relationship with their qualification and the possibility of accurate full-fledged measurement of those in the evaluated subjects. We performed expert assessment of 22 requirements for grades approved by the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated 31 August 2023 No. 458n relative to four items: their relationship with the physician’s qualification, feasibility of measurement (usability), relationship with the competence of the evaluation commission member (objectivity), possibility of determining the extent of the knowledge, abilities, skills required for each professional grade. Assessment involving the use of the Stapel rating scale (“–5” to “+5”) was performed by seven experts. The sums of scores by items were as follows: relationship with qualification — 477, usability — 316, objectivity — ‒662, grade — –699. There are significant differences between the scores reported for all the requirements and pairs of all items (р ≤ 0.0001), except the objectivity–grade pair (р = 0.103). The total of the scores reported for the majority of requirements is negative due to the lowest possible scores of objectivity and grade. The experts believe that none of the qualification requirements approved by the Order enables accurate full-fledged determination of physician’s qualification during evaluation.

An essential component of agriculture is soil. Many types of soil exists. Different parameters can be observed in each type of soil, and various crops can be grown on different types of soils. To understand which crops develop in certain types of soil, they need to be informed on the characteristics and features of various soil types. The capability to identify the inputs needed for productive and cost-effective farming was provided by soil analysis. A proper soil test will ensure that the proper amount of fertilizers are utilized, providing the crop to meet its needs while also profiting from the nutrients already available in the soil. The phrase "soil health" refers to the biological, chemical, and physical elements of the soil that are significant for plant nutrients. Soil analysis is a collection of different chemical processes that determines the amounts of available plant nutrients in the soil. The most important factors for producing a healthy crop are micronutrient analysis. The classification of soil's micronutrients is the primary objective of this analysis. In this case, machine learning methods may be helpful. It has made significant progress in recent years. Hence in this analysis, soil health analysis and classification of Micronutrients for crop suggestion using Machine Learning is presented. The coloured images of the soil samples are obtained and processed using a number of algorithms and filters. Color, texture, and other features can be extracted using these developed algorithms. Logistic Regression algorithm is used to classify micronutrients.
An Evaluation of the Impediments to the Establishment of the African Criminal Court & the Prospects for Justice and Peace in Africa

Published: April 2024

When the Malabo Protocol was adopted in 2014, which, if ratified by at least 15 out of the 55 African Union (AU) Member States would lead to the creation of an African Criminal Court (ACC), it was received with great enthusiasm for a number of reasons. Notable among these were that the creation of the ACC would provide an avenue to address African challenges and crimes committed in the continent in an Africa way- echoing the notion of African solution to African problems. Yet, since it was adopted in June 2014 not even a single AU Member State has ratified the Malabo Protocol. Against this backdrop, the key question which this study seeks to answer is: What are the possible obstacles to the ratification of the Malabo Protocol and the inauguration of the ACC? The study reveals that there are seven primary possible obstacles to the ratification of the Malabo Protocol and inauguration of the ACC. These include: the contentious jurisdiction of the court, immunity for African Heads of State and senior government officials; the limited financial base which negatively affects the potential operationalization of the court; the contradictions and ambiguities regarding how the African Criminal Court will be operationalized

Abstract

This paper examines the relative financial strength and endurance of several paired classes of farmers according to business maturity (beginning versus mature farm businesses) and farm operators’ age and experience (young versus older, more experienced farm operators) by utilizing transition probability approach. Results show that the financial stress resulting from the late 2000s recession did not significantly influence the financial vitality of farms in general, regardless of the farm type. The financial strength of farms operated by young farm operators and beginning farms during the recessionary period remained at favorable levels, although their performances were lower than their counterparts.

Published: April 2024

Inflammation plays a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerosis and in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) was recognized as important inflammatory marker in predicting the severity and prognosis of AMI. The aim of this study is to determine the role of NLR as predictive biomarker in AMI patients at Al-Gamhuria Modern General Hospital. This study was considered a descriptive cross-sectional study, which was conducted in Al-Gamhuria Modern General Hospital from March through August 2022. The study includes 124 patients diagnosed as AMI and classified into two groups: 70 patients with low NLR and 54 patients with high NLR. Out of 124 patients, 56.5% of patients had low NLR and 43.5% had high NLR. Patients with high NLR were older (62.31 ± 7.30 vs. 57.80 ± 5.17 years), had higher prevalence of D.M., hyperlipidemia, more smokers and Khat chewers compared to patients with low NLR. High NLR group had more elevated CK-MB and Troponin T, more reduced ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) compared to low NLR group (P < 0.001). High NLR group also had poorer Killip class (P < 0.001), and were more prone to death inside the hospital compared to low NLR group (11.1% vs. 1.4%), (P= 0.042). As conclusion, NLR is a strong predictor of myocardial damage, myocardial dysfunction as well as in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI. NLR as an inflammatory marker can also predict the consequences on the heart post-MI.

Importancia actual de la broncoscopía diagnóstica y terapéutica*
Authors: Montaño Egred Danilo
Published: April 2024

El primer antecedente de endoscopia traqueal para extracción de un cuerpo extraño data de 1897 por Gustav Killian (2 de junio de 1860 - 24 de febrero de 1921) quien fue un laringólogo alemán considerado el fundador de la broncoscopia1.La broncoscopia puede ser de tipo rígida o fibroscópica (FBC) y ha evolucionado a niveles de intervencionismo impensables por una amplia variedad de subprocedimientos y de equipos de profesionales especializados en esta área; en la actualidad se presenta como alternativa válida diagnóstica y terapéutica para pacientes que, anteriormente, no tenían opciones resolutivas a patologías complejas respiratorias y de una forma mínimamente invasiva2.

Published: April 2024

El interesante artículo “Patología tiroidea quirúrgica, Hospital Metropolitano, enero 2017 –junio 2022”1 constituye un aporte adicional al conocimiento de una patología muy frecuente en nuestro país. En efecto, la incidencia del cáncer de tiroides es, actualmente, la neoplasia maligna más frecuente en el sexo femenino en Quito2. El número de cirugías de tiroides de aproximadamente 82 por año es muy importante para un hospital privado en nuestro medio. Por enfermedad maligna fueron operados 69% de pacientes en el Hospital Metropolitano, cuando en los Estados Unidos solo un 26% de 220.088 pacientes operados de tiroides entre 2007 y 2018 fue por malignidad3. Otro aspecto interesante es el tipo de cirugía. En 86% de intervenciones se realizó una tiroidectomía total. En los Estados Unidos, luego de las recomendaciones de la Guías de manejo de nódulo tiroideo de la American Thyroid Association, hay una tendencia al incremento de la cirugía parcial tanto en enfermades benignas como malignas, y en el 2018, un 28% de cirugías por cáncer fue una lobectomía4.

Authors: KP Jastone , M Naga Moses
Published: April 2024

Menstruation is a natural and biological phenomenon in women of reproductive age. It is often associated with certain disorders. Millions of women across the globe are challenged with social stigmas and taboos related to menstruation. This paper aims to assess and compare the menstrual health information between rural and urban areas and explore the herbal medicine used by the Poumai-Naga community to combat menstrual disorders. Respondents included 5 traditional medicine practitioners and 230 women. An interview and survey questionnaire were employed to meet the objectives. After cross checking from literature published in menstrual disorders from different states of India and abroad, nine medicinal plants were noted to be extensively used by the people. Rhododendron arboreum Sm. was not found to be reported in any of the literature to treat menstrual disorders. Results also showed that women heavily rely on and prefer traditional medicine and home remedies over modern medicine. Though Traditional Herbal Medicine is used globally, it may come with undocumented risks. And therefore, it is recommended to test and validate every potential herb passing through the proper channel for proper and safe use.

Authors: Kumar Pramod , Shrilata  , JS Tripathi
Published: April 2024

Proximal 5th metatarsal (MT) fractures are a common sequel of foot injury and painful nonunion is one of its well-described consequences. The purpose of this study is to present the manifestation and determine the effectiveness of ayurvedic healing measure for symptomatic 5th MT non unions. Here we narrate a case study presented with the painful nonunion of 5th metatarsal bone following failure of conventional management. The subject was investigated for following parameters: (1) injury mechanism; (2) time to solid radiographic union; and (3) time to resume usual activities. The subject was monitored until there was a clear clinical and radiological union. The mechanism of injury in this case was a fall over forefoot with plantar flexion, inversion and abduction. The nonunion was demonstrated in radiograph even after 3 months of fracture. “Sarivadi lepa” (therapeutic application of drug) was used as external application and bandaging to reduce pain, inflammation, and compliment healing process of the fracture along with immobilization. By the end of 60 days, radiograph showed evidence of callus formation and solid radiographic union was demonstrated. The subject resumed to his usual activities after complete union and maintained well till last follow up. Thus, we can claim that Sarivadi bandhana (bandaging) is beneficial in subsiding pain, swelling and to facilitate healing of fracture along with immobilization. We recommend further study on Sarivadi Lepa in larger sample to establish its assistance in fracture healing action.
