Authors: Krzysztof Polok , Przybysz-Zaremba Małgorzata , Szweda Natalia 
Published: December 2024

Research objective and problems: The utilization of modern technologies into various forms for primary English language teaching and learning has progressively become standard practice worldwide, largely because the new generation of students has grown up in a digital era. It is undeniably true that technology continues to play a significant role in contemporary society. In today’s globalized world the English language holds a dominant position influencing nearly every aspect of human life, including education, politics, trade, communication and science. Consequently, the importance of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in schools has increased around the world. For 21st century learners, new technologies are second nature, as children interact with them from early age. Therefore, teaching methods and techniques must be adapted to meet the actual needs of today’s learners.
Research methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design, which involves manipulating an independent variable, without randomly assigning participants to conditions or orders of conditions.
Structure of the article: The article begins with an introduction followed by a detailed description of the research methods and findings. It concludes with a discussion of key conclusions and research limitations.
Research findings and their influence on the development of pedagogical science: The study demonstrated incorporating various technological tools enhances the quality of instruction, fosters genuine interest in the subject matter, and encourages student creativity throughout the process of learning a second (foreign) language. Moreover, the use of technology noticeably reduces instances of classroom disruptions caused by students.
Conclusions and/or recommendations: The results clearly indicate that the introduction of new technologies in teaching and learning a new language is much more beneficial than the traditional teaching methods, as evidenced by statistical analysis.
A Three-Dimensional Account of Teacher–Student Communication: An Account and Its Application
Authors: Zarębski Tomasz , Reinhard Karolina , Tomczyk Małgorzata 
Published: December 2024

Objective of the Article: The article develops a potentially comprehensive and philosophically informed model of classroom communication – which is called three-dimensional – as well as to test its plausibility by conducting tentative empirical research.
Research Method: We draw on the hypothetico-deductive inquiry model (following Popper’s concept), according to which the research starts as a response to a problematic situation (P1) and assumes the form of a tentative theory (TT) to be tested empirically. If it is not refuted, it can be accepted as binding and its errors (EE) can be eliminated. In case it is falsified, a new problematic situation (P2) appears. The empirical part of theory testing is based on the technique of observation and the analysis of teachers’ utterances.
A Short Description of the Context of the Presented Issue: We introduce the concept of three-dimensional communication in education, which involves (1) the transmissive dimension, where the teacher provides information and students receive it; (2) the constitutive dimension, which promotes social bonds in the classroom; and (3) the interpersonal dimension, which includes individualization in communication and teaching and helps build the teacher–pupil relationship. Then, the empirical part of the article presents the model being applied in research conducted in an elementary school in the Lower Silesia region of Poland.
Research Findings: It is claimed that this model can be used as a reference for analyzing actual communication processes, which is shown by the example of the empirical part.
Conclusions and Recommendations: The plausibility test of the theory succeeded. However, questions are raised for further exploration: the normativity of such a model, its context-sensitiveness, its referring to schools with student-centered and teacher-centered education, the effectiveness of a teacher’s communication within the three dimensions (which may vary), and different teaching styles being referred to advanced three-dimensional communication between teachers and students.

Las enfermedades periodontales son una causa muy frecuente de pérdida dental en adultos. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el impacto de la enfermedad periodontal en la calidad de vida de los pacientes adultos atendidos en las clínicas de periodoncia de la Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo, durante el período de enero de 2022 a diciembre de 2023. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo, diseño transversal retro prospectivo. Se empleó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, siguiendo criterios de selección, y se obtuvo un total de 75 participantes. Los datos recopilados se ingresaron en el programa SPSS versión 26, lo que facilitó el procesamiento y su análisis. Se confirmó la presencia de cuatro estadios de enfermedad periodontal en la muestra, se determinó al estadio II como más predominante. La evaluación de la calidad de vida, medida a través del cuestionario OHIP-14, reveló que el avance de la patología afectó principalmente tres dominios: la limitación funcional, la incomodidad y la discapacidad psicológica. En cambio, la dimensión que mostró menor afectación, independiente del progreso de la patología, fue la de desventajas. Los hallazgos de la investigación confirmaron que la progresión de la patología tuvo un impacto negativo en distintos dominios de la calidad de vida.

Postulat wprowadzenia zakazu korzystania z telefonów komórkowych w szkole – analiza na przykładzie regulacji francuskiej
Authors: Niedbała Marcin 
Published: December 2024

The study presents the postulate to introduce into the Polish normative order a ban on the use of mobile phones by students on school premises, using the example of a French regulation that has been in force for several years and establishes this type of restrictions. For this purpose, first of all, the status quo was presented, which is that individual educational institutions adopt divergent rules in their statutes regarding the conditions for bringing and using mobile phones and other electronic devices by students on their premises. Then, the provision of the French Education Code, in force since 2018, prohibiting the use of mobile phones and other electronic communication devices in schools was discussed. Based on the cited legal norm, the proposed assumptions of a similar legal regulation that could be introduced in the Polish normative order are presented.

OBJETIVO: Comparar las concentraciones séricas maternas y neonatales de selectina E soluble en preeclámpticas y embarazadas normotensas. METODOLOGÍA: Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en 180 embarazadas (grupo A; 90 preeclámpticas y grupo B; 90 embarazadas normotensas) que asistieron al Hospital Central “Dr. Urquinaona”, Venezuela. Se evaluaron las características generales, parámetros de laboratorio y concentraciones séricas maternas - neonatales de selectina E soluble. RESULTADOS: Comparado con las pacientes del grupo B, las pacientes del grupo A presentaron concentraciones de selectina E soluble más altas (p < 0,0001). Sin embargo, los neonatos de este grupo mostraron concentraciones significativamente más bajas (p < 0,0001). Al comparar las concentraciones maternas y neonatales en cada uno de los grupos no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las concentraciones maternas neonatales en el grupo A (p = 0,6849) pero si se encontraron diferencias significativas en los valores del grupo B (p < 0,0001). CONCLUSIÓN: Las preeclámpticas presentan concentraciones de selectina E soluble más elevadas comparadas con las embarazadas normotensas sanas. No obstante, sus neonatos presentan concentraciones significativamente más bajas comparadas con los neonatos de las embarazadas normotensas.
Distinguishability of a Naked Singularity from a Black Hole in Dynamics and Radiative Signatures
Authors: Dihingia Indu K. , Uniyal Akhil , Mizuno Yosuke 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Can a naked singularity (NkS) be distinguished from a black hole (BH)? We have investigated it with cutting-edge general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, followed by general relativistic radiation transfer calculation for magnetized accretion flow around NkS and BHs. Based on our simulations, the accreting matter close enough to the singularity repels due to effective potential. This prevents matter from reaching an NkS and forms a quasi-spherical symmetric density distribution around it, unlike the accretion flows around a BH. We observe 1 order of magnitude higher mass flux through the jet and much stronger wind from an NkS than a BH. We found that the jet launching mechanism in an NkS differs significantly from that in a BH. In the horizon-scale images, an NkS shows a photon arc instead of a photon ring that is shown around a BH. In summary, the flow dynamics and radiative properties around an NkS are distinctly different from a BH. These properties would be useful to either confirm or rule out such exotic compact objects through future observations.
Detecting Solar Flare Precursors Using DEFT
Authors: Krista Larisza D. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The Detection and EUV Flare Tracking (DEFT) tool automatically identifies flare precursors in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations in a fast and consistent manner, with minimal computational overhead. DEFT currently uses GOES/SUVI 304 Å observations to detect, group, and flag sudden impulses that could be precursors to flares. In this study, we analyzed precursor signatures before 351 flares (150 C, 150 M, and 51 X class flares) that occurred from 2017 to date. Across these magnitudes, precursors were detected for 93% of the flares when using a 6 hr window before the flare start times. Using superposed epoch analysis, we found that elevated precursor activity tends to occur across all magnitude flares in the last 2 hr before the flares. The frequency of precursors gradually increases before M class flares but decreases for C class flares. We also found that in the last 20 minutes there is a significantly higher precursor frequency, pixel count, and power associated with M class flares than C class flares. We suggest that the observed EUV precursors are the observable signatures of small-scale magnetic reconnection events, and the consistently increasing frequency of precursor activity could indicate that the region is becoming increasingly unstable and reaching a critical stage that could result in flare initiation. Continuing research on EUV precursors is essential to better understand preflare processes that build and reduce magnetic instability prior to main-stage flares. The consistent and reliable detection and differentiation of EUV precursors could also complement and significantly improve current flare forecasting efforts.

Authors: Rodrigues António Félix , Videira Sandra , Aptroot André , Gabriel Rosalina 
Published: December 2024

Corvo is a small and remote island in the western group of the Azores Archipelago, Portugal. The Island's lichen biodiversity was largely understudied, with only 17 species documented to date.
This study reports 68 new records of lichen species on Corvo Island, representing an addition of two classes, eight orders, 18 families and 43 genera. It includes three new records for the Azores: Acrocordia conoidea (Fr.) Körb., Chrysothrix flavovirens Tønsberg and Glaucomaria rupicola (L.) P.F. Cannon (syn. Lecanora rupicola (L.) Zahlbr.). Additionally, it confirms the presence of three species previously reported in the Archipelago without specific locations: Lecidea phaeops Nyl., Peltigera canina (L.) Willd. and Pertusaria ficorum Zahlbr. This wealth of new lichen species records greatly enriches our understanding of biodiversity and sets a solid groundwork for upcoming ecological investigations in the Azores Archipelago.
L’autre lettre : pharmacologie de la différence culturelle
Authors: Castaño Héctor G. 
Published: December 2024

Les réflexions de Stiegler sur le concept d’« adoption » constituent un effort remarquable visant à dépasser la « pharmacologie de la différence culturelle », qui réduit la diversité des modes de vie à des conceptions culturalistes et nationalistes incapables d’aborder les enjeux technologiques contemporains. Cet article examine l’impact persistant de cette pharmacologie dans les analyses de Stiegler concernant la « grammatisation occidentale ». Il démontre que l’écriture chinoise est également orthothétique, remettant en question la pertinence de la notion de « lettre » pour expliquer la spécificité de l’histoire occidentale et la différence supposée entre l’Orient et l’Occident.
Left ventricular ejection time: its relation to left ventricular systolic function and functional capacity in cardiomyopathic patients
Authors: El Shahawy Eman S. , Hassan Asmaa A. 
Published: December 2024

Background and aim
Left ventricular ejection time (LVET) was used to evaluate left ventricular function. Transthoracic echocardiogram was done, and parameters of LV systolic function by utilizing tissue Doppler imaging and two-dimensional strain were obtained. Moreover, the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and 6 min walk test (6MWT) was investigated intending to detect the LVET value in the detection of LV systolic dysfunction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and its relation to a functional capacity to assess the clinical severity of systolic heart failure.

Patients and methods
The enrolled 131 cases (101 myopathic patients and 30 case as a control). All cases do complete transthoracic echocardiogram to assess LV dimensions, volumes, and systolic function. Parameters of LV systolic function were compared in both groups. LVET was calculated, compared, and correlated with LV systolic function, NYHA class, and 6MWT.

Results
The LV volumes of patients with DCM were significantly elevated (P<0.001), while their LV systolic function was significantly reduced. Additionally, the cardiomyopathic group revealed a significant reduction in LVET in comparison to the control group (P=0.002). Moreover, the LVET correlates significantly with parameters of LV systolic function [LVEF by M-mode (r=0.01), LVEF by two-dimensional (r=0.17), left ventricular global longitudinal strain (r=0.09), left ventricular systolic velocity (r=0.20)]. Furthermore, LVET connected to NYHA functional class and 6MWT (r=−0.06, P<0.0001, r=0.04, P=0.01, respectively).

Conclusions
In individuals having DCM, LVET is a simple and valuable measure to diagnose LV systolic dysfunction as well as it has potential implications for assessing the clinical severity of heart failure.
A Retrospective Cohort Study of Mucormycosis Infection in Patients with Previous History of COVID-19 in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Chakraborty Arkaprava , Ghafur Abdul , Ambika R. S. , Rayappa C. 
Published: December 2024

Background:
Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive fungal infection mostly affecting patients with uncontrolled diabetes and immunocompromised status. It belongs to the order Mucorales, class Zygomycetes. It is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among invasive fungal infections. India witnessed an epidemic of mucormycosis during COVID-19 period.

Objective:
This study analyses the demography, risk factors, clinical features, and adverse effects of treatment in patients with mucormycosis admitted to our hospital during the pandemic.

Materials and Methods:
It is a retrospective cohort study carried out in a tertiary care hospital from May 2021 to November 2021. The cases of mucormycosis were identified based on either single positive test for fungal stain, fungal culture, or histopathology.

Results:
A total of 22 patients were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 55.79 years (range 26–86), with 90.90% being males. Majority (68.18%) were diabetics. Of these, seven patients had diabetes for more than 10 years. All patients were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 before admitting to hospital and 66.67% received steroids previously. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sinus involvement in all patients (100%), soft tissue (90.90%), and orbital involvement (72.72%). Aseptate hyphae were seen in fungal stain (54.54%), histopathology (59.10%), and Rhizopus grown in fungal culture (31.81%) of the cases. A combination of surgical debridement and medical treatment with antifungal therapy was given.

Conclusions:
Mucormycosis is a life-threatening disease for post-COVID-19 patients with high rate of morbidity as well as mortality. Uncontrolled diabetes and previous use of steroids were additional risk factors for the development of mucormycosis among post-COVID patients.
