Authors: Le Tuan Linh , Doan Tien Luu , Pham Chinh Truc , Ma Mai Hien
Published: December 2023

Background: Gastrointestinal foreign body is a frequently encountered problem in daily practice at the Emergency Department. The majority of gastrointestinal foreign bodies will pass spontaneously, but in several cases, severe or even fatal complications can happen. X-rays, endoscopy, and computed tomography are the most common imaging modalities to diagnose gastrointestinal foreign bodies. Method: In our study, twenty-five patients who were diagnosed by CT and treated for gastrointestinal foreign bodies were reviewed retrospectively. The predictive risk factors for complications after foreign body ingestion or insertion were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression, including age, sex, type of gastrointestinal foreign body, and imaging characteristics in CT (location, size, thickening and enhancing bowel wall, fat infiltration, collection, and free gas). Results: All foreign bodies were sharp-pointed, and the average length was 30.56 ± 10.03 mm (11-54 mm). Bones accounted for 64% of cases, toothpicks followed with 16%. The most common location for foreign bodies in digestive tract was the small intestine, followed by the stomach, esophagus, and colon. Thickening and enhancing bowel wall, fat infiltration were both seen in most cases of 84%. Transmural foreign bodies accounted for 56% and perforation, abscess were more frequent complications with 64%, and 16% of cases, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that size (p < 0.014) and type (p < 0.035) were significant independent risk factors associated with the development of complications in patients with gastrointestinal foreign bodies. Conclusion: CT plays a crucial role in the detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal foreign bodies and its complications. In patients with gastrointestinal foreign bodies, the risk of complications was increased with bone type and larger size of foreign bodies.

Published: December 2023

Background: To evaluation of the long term outcome of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for pathological T1, T2 renal cell cancer at Viet Duc Hospital. Methods: We retrospectively identified 73 patients who underwent RN between 2015 and 2022. We divided patients into three groups based on tumour size: <4 cm, 4– 7 cm, >7 cm. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics include age, gender, back pain, tumor size, tumor location, disease stage on computed tomography scans, histopathological results, postoperative outcomes and complications, postoperative survival time, and accumulated survival time. Results: the average age was 53.52 ± 12.17 years.  CT scans classified renal cell carcinoma stages preoperatively according to IUAC 2009: 53.4% were stage T1a, 42.4% were stage T1b, 2.8% were stage T2a, and 1.4% were stage T2b, 2 patients experienced infection at the trocar site used for kidney extraction, 4 patients developed postoperative fever, and 1 patient had postoperative bleeding requiring a blood transfusion. One patient underwent emergency open surgery immediately after discharge due to bleeding through the drainage. The postoperative complication rate according to the Clavien-Dindo classification was 11% (8 patients). The results show that 63 patients are still alive, 5 patients have passed away due to the disease, and 5 patients have died from other causes such as traffic accidents, cardiovascular diseases, and cerebral vascular accidents. The average follow-up time is 46.7±26.5 months. The cumulative survival rates at 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 years after radical nephrectomy for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma were 100%, 97.6%, 94.8%, 90.9%, and 83.3%, respectively. The average additional survival time after surgery was 84.11 ± 1.80 months. Conclusions:  Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for early-stage renal cell carcinoma (T1 and T2) demonstrates high surgical safety and absolute efficacy in oncology.
Image Reconstruction Using the sinc Kernel Function
Authors:   Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of NAS RA, Alaverdyan Suren B.
Published: December 2023

This study is devoted to address the challenge of solving ill-posed integral equations for image restoration. The integral equation is widely recognized as an ill-posed problem [1]. Our study demonstrates that utilizing a two- dimensional function as a kernel function in the integral equation leads to stable solutions, by establishing a consistent dependence between the solutions and the input data (images). We were able to obtain solutions for the integral equation without employing a regularization process, which significantly reduces the duration of the calculation process.
Promoting Origination of Dynamicity of Non-Cellular Cognizers
Authors:   Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of NAS RA, Pogossian Edward M.
Published: December 2023

Dynamic realities exist at the most basic level of elementary particles, which, according to quantum field theory emerge as excitations of fundamental quantum fields. At the same time, the nuclei of cognizers – doers, and their modes -1/2place classifiers and energizers, are also types of dynamic realities. Trying to trace the origin of the dynamicity of doers to the dynamics of particles and fields would help enlighten the origination of classifiers in nature. As a footstep to a positive answer to this question, we provide cases of such interpretation of dynamicity concluding by some hints to generalize the cases.

The Utility of Immature Platelet Fraction Monitoring During a Case of Life-Threatening ITP Predicted Haemorrhagic Risk
Authors: A Niblock  , Sin Jerry , Gore Ciara
Published: December 2023

A severe case of immune thrombocytopenia purpura ITP presented with life threatening bleeding. Despite first line steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin IVIg this patient continued to deteriorate requiring full dose elthrombopag, romiplostim, cyclophosphamide, anti D, mycophenolate mofetil MMF, 31 units of platelets and 14 units of packed red cells. It took 3 weeks before the platelets responded, and the patient went on to make a full functional recovery despite severe pulmonary haemorrhages and a pneumothorax. Immature platelet fraction IPF measurements are now more readily available given the ability of high-end full blood count analysers to perform them. A high IPF percentage would correlate with increased megakaryopoiesis in the bone marrow. When combined with a thrombocytopenia it would favour a consumptive process like ITP as the underlying aetiology. In this case IPF was monitored concurrently with the absolute platelet count. Interestingly when the IPF fell during their admission the patient demonstrated overt bleeding. If the bleeding phenotype can be more accurately risk stratified this could help the clinician identify lower risk patients allow them to be managed in an outpatient setting. A larger study of ITP patients is required with IPF measurements to see if a robust risk stratification is possible.
TwoPhaseFlow: A Framework for Developing Two Phase Flow Solvers in OpenFOAM
Authors: Scheufler Henning , Roenby Johan
Published: December 2023

We present a new OpenFOAM based open-source framework, TwoPhaseFlow, enabling fast implementation and testing of new phase change and surface tension force models for two-phase flows including interfacial heat and mass transfer. Capitalizing on the runtime-selection mechanism in OpenFOAM, the new models can easily be selected and benchmarked against analytical solutions and existing models. The framework currently includes the following three interface curvature calculation methods for surface tension: 1) the height function method, 2) the parabolic fit method and 3) the reconstructed distance function method.  As for phase change, two models are available: 1) Interface heat resistance and 2) direct heat flux. These can be combined in three solvers: 1) InterFlow for isothermal, incompressible two-phase flow, 2) compressibleInterFlow for compressible, non-isothermal two-phase flow and 3) multiRegionPhaseChangeFlow for compressible, non-isothermal two-phase flow with conjugated heat transfer. By design, addition of new models and solvers is straightforward and users are encouraged to contribute their specific models, solvers, and validation cases to the library.

Authors: Ademola Adegoroye  , Tolulope Seun Olubunmi-Ajayi  , Adeyose Emmanuel Akinbola  , Dayo Temitope Oguntuase
Published: December 2023

The study was carried out to examine the socioeconomic and performance of the dried melon value chain in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The data for the study were collected primarily using a well-structured questionnaire. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to randomly select 120 respondents. Descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques, and multiple regression models were used to analyse the data. The results of the socioeconomic characteristics revealed that male dominates the producers’ chain while female dominates the processors’ and marketers' chains. All the actors were still in their economic active age with a mean age of around 40 years old. Many of the actors were married and had good years of experience with the producers being the highest (18 years). Apart from the producers, many of the actors were educated with at least a primary school education. Processors made more income (N190,374.7) than the producers (N175,709.3) and the marketers (N132,374.4). Despite that, the budgetary techniques confirmed that each chain was profitable, the return on investment was at the highest (0.59) for the processors followed by the producers (0.44) and then, the marketers (0.40). The market margin results showed 0.31, 0.37, and 0.29 for the processors, producers, and marketers, respectively. The results of the multiple regression indicated that costs of labour, transportation, and fixed input significantly influenced producers’ volume of sales. The variables like education, unit price, and labour cost significantly influenced processors’ volume of sales, while age, sex, income, experience, and unit price significantly influenced the marketers’ volume of sales. Therefore, it can be recommended that government intervention is crucial in the melon value chain by subsidizing the inputs to reduce the cost of production and processing. The government should also provide credit facilities and other infrastructure, such as roads, which will reduce the high cost of transportation.

Authors: Oluwabosoye Abitoye  , Tochukwu Onunka  , Oluwafunmilola Oriji  , Chibuike Daraojimba  , Mutiu Alade Shonibare
Published: December 2023

This review examines how well practical teaching approaches can improve financial literacy in Nigeria, a nation with a diverse population, uneven economic conditions, and varying educational attainment. We look at five real-world teaching strategies: classroom-based programs, mobile applications, peer education initiatives, online courses and digital platforms, and workshops on financial literacy. Every technique is evaluated based on how well it works and how it influences the development of better financial behaviors and knowledge. Workshops on financial literacy have been shown to improve participants' understanding of money matters, alter their behavior, and give them the confidence to manage their finances. Digital platforms and online courses provide self-paced learning and accessibility, reaching a wide range of learners and encouraging continuous skill development. Integrated into the formal education system, classroom-based programs provide structured and comprehensive financial education, setting the stage for lifelong financial competence. Mobile applications engage users, promoting self-directed learning and positive behavioural change, while peer education programs leverage community trust and cultural sensitivity to disseminate financial knowledge. Challenges and limitations include issues of accessibility, cultural sensitivity, resource limitations, engagement and retention, quality control, literacy levels, socio-economic disparities, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change. We recommend tailored approaches, infrastructure development, coordination and collaboration, long-term evaluation, an inclusive approach, digital literacy initiatives, quality assurance, community engagement, and public-private partnerships to address these challenges. Nigeria can advance and develop by working toward a more economically empowered and financially literate population by aggressively addressing these constraints and implementing these suggestions. Financial literacy is essential for achieving stability and economic empowerment in Nigeria and its heterogeneous populace.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Ibrahim , Ullah Latif , Shah Syed Muhammad Uzair , Ullah Aziz , Alam Sumbal
Published: December 2023

The emphasis on marks culture is intricately linked to socio-cultural determinants that shape educational priorities. The socio-cultural determinants play a pivotal role in reinforcing the significance attached to marks, impacting educational systems, and shaping the experiences of students as they navigate the academic landscape. The research delves into the complex web of socio-cultural factors that underlie the pervasive marks culture in Dir Lower's matric and FA/FSc education. This study underscores the significance of academic grading in shaping the educational landscape, policies, and societal perspectives on education. Within the unique socio-cultural milieu of Dir Lower, where the fixation on marks is deeply rooted in the cultural and social fabric, this research explores how these determinants interact with and influence the marks culture. This study employed quantitative research methods and Social Capital theory to explore the correlation between independent and dependent variables. The sample size of 326 high and higher secondary school teachers was done through stratified random sampling, and data were gathered utilizing structured questionnaires. Information was examined with SPSS, which includes univariate and bivariate, to grasp the singular variables and their interaction. The study shows the popularity of educational achievement as a cultural norm, inclined by family and socioeconomic status of individual and societal prospects. The study points out the subsidiary impact of cultural values on education and assessment practices where teacher and student relations, parental participation, and peer effect are recognized as arbitrating influences sandwiched between socio-cultural determinants and the marks emphasized in Dir Lower. This study underlines the importance of socio-cultural factors in determining students' attitudes and offers valuable insights for educational stakeholders. As an outcome, the research affords prized insights for educationalists and commends fostering social awareness, assisting different students, engaging the community, and implementing context-specific policies to create a more balanced educational environment in Dir Lower.
The Role of Higher Education in the Development of United European Values During the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine
Authors: Kalinicheva Нalyna , Bulvinska Oksana
Published: December 2023

The article actualizes the role of university education in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. It is emphasized that in the context of Ukraine’s European integration progress and the need to unite Ukrainian society, it is increasingly important to promote, support and develop European values among young Ukrainians – higher education students who will participate in the restoration and development of Ukraine after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on sociological research, the authors trace the dynamics of changing value orientations in Ukrainian society from a moderate and sceptical attitude to European integration and a fragmented and contradictory view of European values to unconditional support for the benefits of a democratic European model of social development. Sociological studies show the leading role of young people in perceiving and supporting the values of the United Europe, democratic transformations in Ukraine, respect for rights and freedoms, and the rule of law. The authors focus on the experience of Ukrainian universities in informing, teaching and promoting European values among higher education students from different regions of Ukraine. The authors propose tools for further development of European values during the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine through the introduction of educational programs, disciplines and modules of the Erasmus+ program: Jean Monnet. An important task of higher education is the introduction of educational programs for training specialists for the de-occupied territories, which will ensure effective governance, restoration of democratic mechanisms, social cohesion of Ukrainian society, and removal of possible contradictions and tensions in the de-occupied communities. The key role of higher education in peacekeeping is emphasized.

Bilingual Education in Institutions of Higher Education: Values, Purposes, Specificity
Authors: Snizhko Nataliia
Published: December 2023

The article highlights issues related to the implementation of bilingual education in Ukrainian higher education institutions. The study of this problem promotes to the integration of Ukraine into the European and world cultural and educational space, which is one of the priority areas of education development according to the National Doctrine of Education Development.

Specific features acquired by bilingual education at the end of the 20th century are outlined. Bilingual education is both a means of obtaining bilingual education and a process of forming a personality open to interaction with the surrounding world. It is noted that during bilingual education, a foreign (in particular, English) language is not only the goal, but also a means of understanding the world of special knowledge.

The peculiarities of the implementation of bilingual education in higher education institutions are considered in detail. There have been formulated the questions which need to be theoretically comprehended for the successful implementation of bilingual education in higher educational institutions. Special attention is paid to the set of didactically and methodologically relevant factors, due to the peculiarities of the taught discipline and the future specialty of the student. Appropriate criteria (both linguistic and non-linguistic) have been identified, which affect the content, organization and choice of methods of bilingual education in a certain specialty. The need to identify and take into account all relevant factors in their interrelationships is established, because only in this case is it possible to create a scientifically based concept of bilingual education at one or another non-language faculty in a higher education institution.

Student Polymotivation as a Factor of Personal Professional Growth
Authors: Yakovytska Lada , Synуshyna Viktoriіa
Published: December 2023

The article studies the peculiarities of the students' motivational and need sphere. The concept of polymotivation, which contains interpretations of the internal consistency of the motivational sphere, ways of eliminating contradictions in it regarding personal and social choices, is considered. In the context of professional development, polymotivation appears as a significant structural force and a meaningful center of personal professional growth. Due to the need to study effective mechanisms that will contribute to the development of an individual subject, modern approaches to the interpretation of the motivation of personal growth are analyzed, which allows the individual to direct efforts to mastering the chosen professional activity, desired and, at the same time, socially demanded social role; to adequately assess the discrepancy between where a young person is now and where he wants to be in order to realize himself and enjoy his life. The purpose of the study was to identify the impact of value orientations of student youth on the structure of their motivational and need sphere. To solve the set goal, the following methods were used: T. Ehlers' personality diagnosis method for success motivation and S. S. Bubnov's method for diagnosing the real structure of the value orientations of the individual. The subjects were full-time students of the National Aviation University. The obtained data showed that most of the subjects have high and moderately high indicators of motivation to achieve success and socially significant value orientations. The highest scores were obtained on the scales that determine the value of prosocial activities: "High social status and people management", "Social activity to achieve positive changes in society", "Communication". It has been proven that the intrapersonal and social determinants of the educational environment influence the formation of the structural integrity of the personal orientation of students, contribute to the development of self-regulatory processes within the educational activity at the level of the value orientations determined by them. We consider the selection of educational and narrowly personal factors that will influence the internal consistency of the motivational-needs sphere of student youth to be a further promising direction of research.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of a theoretical and empirical study of the problem of students' readiness for research activities, gender peculiarities of this issue. Research activity is considered as a special type of creative activity that arises as a result of search activity and involves independent research aimed at theoretical and experimental study of phenomena and processes, substantiation of facts, identification of patterns using scientific methods of knowledge.

STEM education is aimed at developing a personality through the formation of competencies, a natural science picture of the world, and life values using a transdisciplinary approach to learning based on the practical application of scientific, mathematical, technical, and engineering knowledge and skills to solve practical problems for their further use in professional activities and science. The authors assume that the introduction of the main forms of STEM education (STEM lesson, STEM project, STEM quest, STEM hackathon) will contribute to the formation of students' readiness for research activities.

In order to study the main features of the formation of students' readiness for research activities, the authors of the article used theoretical and empirical research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of psychological and pedagogical practice; survey; method of expert evaluation: longitudinal research method. To process the empirical data, the procedures of qualitative and quantitative analysis were used. The research work covered 620 7th grade students of general secondary education institutions from 5 regions of Ukraine during the 2021-2022 academic year.

The research findings do not claim to be an exhaustive solution to the problem, but contain significant conclusions. It is necessary to further study the structure of students' readiness for research work, as well as the use of the latest forms, methods and means of its formation in the learning process.
Development of Cross-Cutting Skills in Secondary Education Students Through the Use of Textbooks «Exploring Nature»
Authors: Korshevniuk Tetiana , Yaroshenko Olga
Published: December 2023

The article addresses the role of textbooks in shaping cross-cutting skills that are part of all key competencies outlined in the State Standard for Basic Secondary Education. An analysis of recent publications reveals a predominant focus on a competency-based approach, reflecting conceptual principles of textbook creation for the New Ukrainian School. However, these publications insufficiently illuminate the essence and formation of cross-cutting skills through school textbooks.

The potential of author-created textbooks for the integrated course 'Exploring Nature' for grades 5-6 in fostering cross-cutting skills outlined in the State Standard for Basic Secondary Education is explored. Examples of tasks and text constructions are demonstrated as tools for developing each cross-cutting skill.

It is emphasized that the formation of cross-cutting skills is both a process and a result. As a process, it requires active cognitive engagement from each learner, with textbooks serving as motivators and organizers. As a result, cross-cutting skills ensure the acquisition of key competencies and the realization of the personal potential of students, contributing to the development of the teacher's creative individuality.

The article underscores the importance of textbook categorization in the development of cross-cutting skills. It highlights that textbooks serve as guides in shaping cross-cutting skills and do not interfere with teachers' methodological preferences.

The methodology described in the article for forming cross-cutting skills can be applied by textbook authors from various school subjects, researchers in textbook creation, and educators aiming to implement the conceptual foundations of the New Ukrainian School. The article outlines perspectives for further research on the development of cross-cutting skills.

Published: December 2023

The article presents research on educational environment in an inclusive space. Emphasis is placed on identifying problems faced by heads of general secondary education institutions, parents, teachers, and psychologists. It is emphasized that all problems arising in educational institutions have certain solutions that need to be solved.

The research indicates that heads of educational institutions, being in an administrative position, understand their functionality and responsibilities and strive to make the educational space of students safe and comfortable. Like any other participant in the educational process, the administration of an educational institution faces certain difficulties or problems that must be responded to quickly enough and find ways to solve them. We identified a number of problems faced by the administrator of the educational institution; however, the personnel potential is significant.

The article presents the position of parents regarding the educational environment in an inclusive space. Parents should be oriented in the informational space of social networks, providing informational support and considering the expediency of cooperation at the level of parents and inclusive resource centers. A significant problem for parents identified in the study is the lack of knowledge among parents about the impact of correctional and developmental work on children with special educational needs.

Working in an educational institution, a pedagogical worker may have a problem in the direction of the absence of a teacher’s assistant and a child’s assistant. The presence of such an employee in the educational institution will allow to plan the educational process in a modern way and to establish communication with the students of education. In the future, the close interaction of a pedagogical worker, a teacher's assistant and a child’s assistant will significantly improve the educational process and help the child adapt to the conditions of the educational space faster.

Among the main problems faced by psychologists, it is important to determine the work with parents to resolve the conflict in the classroom with adults who are not ready to send the child to school, a class where there is a child with special educational needs. To solve this problem, the psychologist should conduct lectures, individual conversations, both with parents and with the class teacher and children.

Complex interaction and close cooperation of the administration of the educational institution, teaching staff, psychologists and parents will allow to create comfortable conditions in the inclusive space of the New Ukrainian School, which further motivates the students to study.
