Listening ability is receptive oral language ability, a simple morphological and syntactic ability where individuals can retell fairy tales or stories they have just listened to. Digital storytelling is telling stories or narratives using digital technology, such as video, animation, interactive applications, or social media. In digital storytelling, stories can be enriched with multimedia elements such as images, sound, music, and special effects that are impossible in traditional storytelling. The field facts found by researchers are that the listening skills of children aged 4-6 years still appear to be quite low based on the results of initial observations. This research aims to identify the listening abilities of young children through the use of digital storytelling videos. In the current digital era, traditional learning methods are starting to shift towards being more interactive and interesting for children. This study involved 3 children aged 4-6 years from various educational backgrounds in Kindergarten at Labora Islam Mulia Kindergarten. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through direct observation. Direct observation involves observing children as they listen to storytelling videos presented in class. How children respond to stories verbally (e.g., asking questions or making comments) and non-verbally (e.g., facial expressions, gestures).  Conduct interviews with educators regarding teachers' views about the effectiveness of using video storytelling in improving children's listening skills, observing teachers about how children's listening skills are, and including the challenges they face and the strategies children use to understand stories. The research results showed a significant increase in children's listening abilities after using digital storytelling videos. Children are better able to understand stories, identify characters, and remember storylines better. In addition, children showed higher enthusiasm in the learning process and had better attention during storytelling sessions. This research concludes that digital storytelling videos are an effective tool for improving the listening skills of young children, and recommends their use in early childhood education curricula to support the optimal development of listening skills.

Authors: MINAKSHI HAZARIKA  , BINITA B KALITA
Published: November 2024

The study was conducted during the year 2021. Textile waste fibers are a significantly byproduct of the fashion and textile industries, stemming from various stages of production, consumption and disposal. These fibers include leftover fabric scraps, trimmings and postconsumer garments that are discarded. With the rise of fast fashion and increased consumption, textile waste has become a pressing environmental concern globally. These waste fibers contribute to landfills, water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Finding sustainable solutions for managing and repurposing textile waste fibers is crucial for mitigating their environmental impact and promoting circularity within the textile industry. About 5.8 million tons of textile waste are generated every year whereas only 1.5 million tons of such textiles waste are recycled by industrial and tailoring enterprises. This has led the investigator to select one such waste that could be explored for the present study. Therefore, tailor discards were considered along with Kapok which has good conductivity and also has good insulation for both thermal and acoustic properties because of its hollow nature and light weight. The study was carried out by blending wool and Kapok with three blending ratios of wool 100%, kapok 100% and wool kapok (50:50%) to form nonwoven sheets and the properties of the sheets were investigated.

Published: November 2024

The present study has attempted in the year 2022 to analyze maize production trends, growth, and instability in Bihar and Karnataka. Average, Compound Annual Groth Rate (CAGR), and Cuddy Della Valley Index (CDVI) were employed to essess the data from 2002 to 2003 and 2021 to 2022, divided into three periods. As far as kharif maize’s average trend and CAGR of area, production, and yield were concerned, it was dominated by Karnataka during all the periods. For rabi maize, it was dominated by Bihar for the same, but its yield was less than the nation’s yield during both seasons. In case of India, kharif maize’s area and production were much more than the rabi maize, but the yield was low during the entire period for the same. It was also revealed that production growth was due to both the area and yield growth. However, the yield effect was highly significant during all the periods for all the seasons for Bihar, Karnataka, and India. Instability in production for the entire period was more, i.e., 31.32 in Bihar during the kharif season, and it was more in Karnataka, i.e., 22.38 during the rabi season.

Published: November 2024

The transportation sector is one of the main contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 18.52% of total emissions, with this percentage reaching 40% in developed countries. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of Car-Free Day (CFD) implementation in reducing emissions in Cirebon, Indonesia, as a contribution to the 13th Sustainable Development Goal on climate action. The research method used a mixed approach, combining quantitative analysis of fuel consumption data with qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of CFD. Referring to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's National Greenhouse Gas Inventory guidelines, Book I: The results showed that while CFD reduced emissions by 13-26% in the designated lane due to traffic diversion, it also led to an 8-14% increase in emissions in the alternative lane. Therefore, the overall emission reduction effort was not optimal, as the emission reduction in one lane was masked by the emission increase in the other lane. The implication of this research is that a more holistic approach is needed to effectively reduce urban greenhouse gas emissions. The results of this research can serve as a basis for formulating more effective transportation policies, such as extending the duration and coverage of CFD, restricting vehicles on alternative routes, and improving public transportation systems that are more environmentally friendly.
Research: English Teachers’ Experience of Critical Language Teaching in an Anti-CRT Context
Authors: Metz Mike
Published: November 2024

This study examines how English teachers in a politically conservative state integrate principles of Critical Language Awareness into their existing curricula despite a political climate hostile to teaching about social inequity. This project stemmed from concerns expressed by preservice teachers in an English methods class about their ability to enact the critical language teaching methods they were learning because of the political context in the state. Interviews with practicing teachers reveal how teachers incorporate critical language teaching across English courses as disparate as AVID, English 9, Journalism, and African American Literature. The study provides examples of external pushback against race-related curriculum and the resulting fear teachers carried in their professional and personal lives. It also documents teachers’ persistence in the face of fear. Finally, the study raises challenges of teaching about race and language with white students in politically conservative contexts, highlighting a need to support teachers doing critical language teaching in these spaces. The findings demonstrate that even under the scrutiny of anti-CRT sentiments, teachers can successfully engage critical language awareness.

Published: November 2024

The study determined the moderating effect of blended teaching readiness on the relationship between teacher stress profile and teacher's blended learning competence. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized in this study. The data was analyzed using weighted mean, Pearson r, and path analysis. The respondent of the study were 300 public school teachers from the Island Garden City of Samal which was chosen using stratified sampling. Data from the respondents was collected using three sets of modified survey questionnaires. The content validity and reliability of these instruments were ascertained. The results showed that the level of teacher stress was low, while the levels of blended learning competency and blended teaching readiness were high. There was a negative correlation which is significant relationship between teacher stress profile and blended learning competence. Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between blended teaching readiness and blended learning competence. Furthermore, the result revealed a partial moderation effect of blended teaching readiness on the relationship between teacher stress profile and teacher's blended learning competence. This implies that the readiness of teachers to engage in blended teaching methods influences how teacher stress affects their competence in blended learning. While teacher stress may generally have an impact on blended learning competence but the extent of this impact can be moderated by the level of blended teaching readiness.

Published: November 2024

The objective: to analyze effectiveness and safety of bedaquiline administered concurrently with antiretroviral therapy in treatment regimens for patients with such comorbidities as HIV infection and multiple drug resistant and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis.

Subjects and Methods. Effectiveness and safety of chemotherapy regimens containing bedaquiline in the treatment of patients in 2017-2019 was analyzed. The study included 40 patients with multiple drug resistant and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB) and HIV infection receiving antiretroviral (ART) therapy.

Results. Treatment of tuberculosis in this category of patients who completed the main course of chemotherapy was found to be effective in 70.6%. The effectiveness was significantly higher in the following patients: those with intact immune status (88.9% and 51.6%, p=0.04) due to a significant reduction in the proportion of fatal outcomes from 19.4% to 0; those with preserved susceptibility to fluoroquinolones (81.8% and 51.7%, p=0.08) due to a 3.4-fold reduction in the proportion of unfavourable treatment outcomes (from 31.0% to 9.1%) and a 1.9-fold reduction in the proportion of treatment outcomes that could not be evaluated (from 17.2% to 9.1%). The analysis showed good tolerability of bedaquiline included in MDR/XDR-TB treatment regimens in combination with antiretroviral therapy. The frequency of AEs associated with the bedaquiline-containing regimen made 7.5%. When prescribing bedaquiline, preference should be given to ART regimens that do not contain NNRTIs and PIs (the incidence of adverse treatment outcomes when bedaquiline is prescribed in combination with NNRTIs is 1.7 times higher; the incidence of adverse events (AEs) associated with the use of a bedaquiline-containing regimen in combination with PIs is 2.7 times higher than when prescribing ART regimens without PIs (including those associated with bedaquiline – 5.2 times). In 1-3 years after the effective course of chemotherapy with bedaquiline during antiretroviral therapy, tuberculosis relapse rate made 9.1%.

Critical Transitions: Circularity, equity, and responsibility in the quest for energy transition minerals
Authors:   United Nations Environment Programme
Published: November 2024

The world needs vast quantities of minerals to leave the fossil fuel age behind, but these must be produced in a manner that is neither socially nor environmentally damaging. And, it needs to be done quickly. Unless the minerals used to equip the energy transition are extracted and managed responsibly and efficiently, and the benefits shared equitably across producer and consumer countries, the transition could have negative consequences on communities, development and the environment. Under a business-as-usual scenario, more ambitious climate goals, imply more intensive mineral needs (Ekins et al. Forthcoming). This paper outlines a vision for a future where more efficient, circular and responsible use of energy transition minerals equips the green transition, while concurrently meeting climate, biodiversity and pollution goals.

Introduction. High blood pressure (HBP) is a significant cardiovascular risk factor, with hypertension recognized as a leading cause of global mortality. This study aims to investigate the correlation between perceived stress and 
blood pressure levels among patients diagnosed with hypertension. 
Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 80 hypertensive patients at the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases “Dedinje”. Comprehensive clinical examinations, including 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) assessments were performed. 
Results. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between PSS scores and blood pressure levels (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), indicating that higher perceived stress is associated with elevated blood pressure. Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was found between stress levels and sex or smoking status. 
Conclusion. These findings underscore the importance of stress management interventions in hypertension treatment, suggesting that addressing perceived stress could enhance therapeutic outcomes for patients.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wearable technologies in healthcare is revolutionizing preventive medicine, particularly in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. With CVD being the leading cause of global mortality, these innovations offer transformative potential in addressing the disease through a multi-level prevention strategy. Capabilities of AI, supported by wearables, enhance data collection and analysis, allowing for tailored, patient-specific interventions. Primary prevention focuses on mitigating risk factors, while secondary prevention enables early detection through real-time monitoring, and tertiary prevention optimizes management of existing conditions to improve quality of life. This review explores the roles of AI and wearables in each level of prevention, highlighting advancements in predictive analytics, patient-centered care, and personalized treatment planning. Ethical considerations surrounding data privacy and security are also discussed, as well as the importance of accessible technology to reduce health disparities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. As AI algorithms and wearable data improve, they will become increasingly effective in proactive health management, marking a shift from reactive treatment to preventive care. The successful implementation of these technologies depends on robust ethical frameworks and interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering a future in which preventive healthcare is more personalized, accessible, and impactful.

The present systematic review is a qualitative research aimed to synthesize and understand the hesitancy phenomenon of vaccination against COVID 19 for the population experiencing mental health problems, for certain various anxiety disorders. Thematic conclusions from 20 studies that observed the phenomenon of acceptance of vaccination against coronavirus for several types of population were analysed: some studies involve patients from Mental Health Care (n = 6), some are about university students (n = 3), general population with electronic records (n = 6), women from fertility centres (n = 2), refugees (n = 1) and patients with chronic conditions (n = 2). According to the findings of this systematic analysis, avoiding coronavirus vaccination is a complex phenomenon that is strongly linked to anxiety disorders. However, several factors contribute to the observed correlations, both mediating and moderating, allowing us to have a better understanding of the mechanism.

In today's world, effectively managing the boundaries between work and personal life poses a significant challenge. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to explore the interplay between family identification, work identification, and couple conflict resolution styles (dominant, avoidant, submissive, integrative, and compromise), and how these factors shape role boundary management strategies. Responses were collected from 110 couples (220 participants) where both partners were engaged in home-based work. Both partners completed three self-reported measures: behavioral strategies in telework, conflict in couple relationships and role identity. We found that wives’ role boundary strategies are not associated with most variables included in the study. However, the husbands’ role boundary strategies were significantly associated with how both partners identify with work and family. Furthermore, the husbands’ role boundary strategies were associated with the wives’ conflict management styles. Taken together, these results suggested that the husbands’ role boundary strategies can be seen as adaptive behaviors that account for the wives’ approach to conflict.
