Authors: Selameab Tehout , Mason Meghan R. 
Published: September 2021

Background: The undergraduate program in Public Health of Saint Catherine University is the second most popular major of the institution, drawing students from diverse racial, economic, cultural, and educational backgrounds. This has presented significant opportunities and challenges with regard to providing students and faculty with the needed academic and professional development to ensure graduates embody the skills needed for Public Health workforce of today. The objective of this study was to identify potential structured institutional supports to graduate Public Health professionals from diverse communities to advance health equity. A secondary objective was to determine whether the needed supports for Public Health students might differ from peers in other health programs, specifically Nursing.Methods: Using a mixed methods approach and a convenience sample, data were gathered from Public Health students, nursing students, faculty, and staff from November 2019 through July 2020. The survey assessed stress, grit, and demographic factors. Focus group topics included: academic resilience and professionalism, supports and gaps in the current institutional structure with respect to mitigating student stressors, and opportunities for programmatic solutions.Results: In total, 53 Public Health and 32 in Nursing students completed the survey. Nursing students tended to be farther along in their undergraduate careers, less likely to have failed a class, and more likely to have recently been laid off from a job. Public Health students reported more support from parents, but less support from friends and classmates than their Nursing peers. Most Nursing and Public Health students reported unmanaged stress, and similar average grit scores (3.51 vs. 3.41, p = 0.43), respectively. In focus groups, students described a series of stressors including working full time while attending school, family expectations, difficulty with time management, and learning how to acclimate to college norms. University staff and faculty identified financial pressures as a primary student stressor in addition to complex lives including managing family crises.Conclusions: Study findings are being used to identify or adapt professional development supports in undergraduate Public Health programs. Through supporting a diverse undergraduate student population in Public Health, a future workforce from communities most impacted by health disparities will emerge.

Изучение философии и методологии науки, философских проблем специальных наук магистрантами, аспирантами, молодыми учеными в техническом вузе - важная часть их теоретико-методологической, общенаучной подготовки. Специальные научные знания, получаемые студентами в техническом вузе, исследования, проводимые учеными, в том числе и молодыми, должны осмысливаться как в контексте широкого социокультурного, так и в конкретно-научном диапазоне. Очень важно, чтобы в этом контексте молодой ученый - аспирант, ассистент, избравший научный путь развития, освоил рациональные и эмпирические способы, методы исследования. Это возможно в том случае, если повысить уровень теоретико-методологической подготовки будущих специалистов, инженеров, молодых ученых.

Published: September 2021

In higher educational institutions, it is not an easy task to judge the performance of the students timely which is becoming more challenging. Although institutions have gathered a lot of data about their students. They do not have some specific methods to extract meanings from it. The main objective of this study was to find out the performance-based prediction of the students using their demographic and academic factors by using traditional and machine learning approaches. Graduates and undergraduate students studying in KUST were the population of the study. The study was delimited to the department of physics. A total of ninety graduate and undergraduate students were selected randomly using a simple random sampling technique as the entire sample. The result indicated that percentage in matric (Correlation = 0.304), intermediate (Correlation = 0.245) and National Aptitude Test scores (Correlation = 0.480) found the best predictors. Further research was recommended to predict students’ academic performance by taking other aspects of the students like personality, cognitive, psychological, and economic domain for making a dataset of the features which may be used in machine learning approach which is more reliable to judge the academic performance of the students at the higher education level.

Caring Behavior of Teachers: Investigating the Perceptions of Secondary School Teachers and Students in Lahore
Authors: Malik Muhammad Abid , Bashir Sadia 
Published: September 2021

This study is designed to investigate perceptions of teachers and students about caring behavior of teachers. The purpose of the study is to gain better understanding about factors that play a role in the development of teachers’ caring behavior and teacher-student caring relationship. A scale employed by King and Chan (2011) has been adopted for this purpose. The revised scale consists of four main factors (Sense of Respect and Trust, Interpersonal Relationships, Academic Support, and Classroom Management), and twenty two items. Data were collected from 403 grade 9 students and 156 secondary school teachers who belonged to seven public secondary schools in Lahore. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study revealed that both the teachers and students gave great importance to the teachers’ caring behavior. They agreed to the top two factors i.e. Sense of Respect and Trust, and Classroom Management. The opinions differed about the priority of the other two i.e. Interpersonal Relationships and Academic Support. When it came to individual items, the differences were more prominent as four out of top five items were different. There were no statistically significant differences based on teachers’ gender and education level, but their experience made a difference with less experienced teachers showing more inclination towards caring behavior. The study recommends the teachers to develop a culture of respect and care in the classroom by showing respect to the students, developing a culture of greetings, calling them with their proper names, appreciating good behavior, and involving them in decision making.

Investigating the Challenges Faced by the Teacher Educators after Implementation of Pre-Service B.Ed (Hons.) Elementary Four-Year Program in Sindh
Authors: Gopang Abdul Sattar , Saleha Parveen  , Muhammad Kamran  
Published: September 2021

The main purpose of this article is to bring up the challenges faced by the teacher educators during the implementation of B.Ed (Hons.) elementary program initiated by the provincial governments and HEC in collaboration with United State Agency for International development (USAID) in Pakistan. In this study two general universities i.e., University of Sindh and Karachi University were included which received the funding from USAID for upliftment of Elementary Education in the Sindh province, where this teacher educators’ program was piloted and later on fully implemented. In-depth semi-structured face to face interview schedule was developed to conduct the survey type qualitative research design. Five teacher educators from each university (N=10) through purposive sampling were selected and interviewed to collect the data. The gathered data were thematically analyzed on the pattern of Braun & Clarke (2006) approach. On the bases of the analyses, it was inferred that the program despite of its successful completion of first round faced many intrinsic problems such as the lack of trained human resources, lack of involvement of the concerned faculty in curriculum decisions, lack of implementation of the modern pedagogies for bringing quality into the program. Moreover, the external factors such as physical resources and the quality of the intake were also slanting the performance of the program to some extent. These finding are in alignment with the previous studies conducted in the similar context to assess the implementation of teacher education programs. However, the administration of the institutes of so far found playing active role in carrying on the program smoothly despite of the challenges. In the light of the findings of the study, it is recommended that the intervention to provide the funds as well as physical facilities at this stage is inevitable.

Authors: Ryan Prof. Dr. Thomas , Ryan Daniel T. 
Published: September 2021

The objective is to explore Deweyan Progressive Education within Ontario Health and Physical Education. The need to review this area was instigated within the last two years as the Ontario provincial government in Canada has implemented new 2019 Ontario Health and Physical Education curricular guide which contains significant modernizations. The document established a concern for mental health development, online safety, bullying prevention, road safety, substance abuse, concussions, and healthy body image within the 250-page document. The authors undertook a latent content analysis revealing a challenge to compress this curricular content into Health and Physical Education classes that are infrequently scheduled. Teachers, it is understood, will learn that students need progressive instruction and constructive feedback as they practise, reflect, and learn experientially in a safe environment. This review supports educators as they work to better understand the term progressive education and its current pertinence.

Neuropharmacological characteristics of antidepressant action of a new 3-substituted thietane-1,1-dioxide derivative
Authors: Nikitina Irina L. , Gaisina Gulnara G. 
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Due to severe burden of depressive disorders and a low rate of remission in patients receiving antidepressant therapy, there is an urgent need for developing novel agents with antidepressant action and a fundamentally new mechanism of action. 3-ethoxythietane-1,1-dioxide (N-199/1) is a new molecule that showed significant antidepressant properties when administered intraperitoneally once or repeatedly. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of action of N-199/1, using reserpine test.
Materials and methods: N-199/1 (2 mg/kg and 4.86 mg/kg) and the reference drugs (imipramine and fluoxetine) were administered once intraperitoneally to outbred male mice 4 h (Experiment 1) and 18 h (Experiment 2) after a single intraperitoneal injection of reserpine (2.5 mg/kg). The severity of reserpine-induced symptoms (hypothermia, ptosis and akinesia) was assessed.
Results and discussion: N-199/1 potentiated reserpine-induced hypothermia at both doses and reduced ptosis at a dose of 2 mg/kg when administered 4 h after reserpine. N-199/1 increased the duration of reserpine akinesia at a dose of 2 mg/kg when administered 18 h after reserpine and at a dose of 4.86 mg/kg when administered 4 h after reserpine. The effect of N-199/1 resembled the effect of fluoxetine and was dose-dependent.
Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that the antidepressant action of N-199/1 is due to its serotonin-positive properties, and probably the blockade of serotonin 5HT2A/2C receptors and/or α2-adrenergic receptors. The effect of N-199/1 is dose-dependent and resembles the effect of fluoxetine.
Entre recherches, pratiques et théories : pour une culture de la recherche pédagogique
Authors: Simard Denis , Martineau Stéphane 
Published: September 2021

Une culture de la recherche pédagogique n’a pas encore pénétré ni les programmes de formation initiale à l’enseignement ni la culture des enseignants. Telle est, du moins, l’hypothèse générale que le lecteur trouvera explorée dans ce texte. Pour fixer d’abord le cadre général de ce texte, nous tracerons les grandes lignes de l’évolution de la recherche en éducation et des programmes de formation initiale à l’enseignement au Québec depuis les années 1960. Dans un deuxième temps, il s’agira de définir ce que nous entendons par une culture de la recherche pédagogique. Avouant ensuite nos « biais », nous ferons état de quelques constats sur la culture des enseignants, des futurs enseignants, puis nous examinerons les programmes actuels de formation initiale au Québec à l’enseignement au regard de l’hypothèse posée. Cet examen nous permettra de mettre en lumière ce que nous pouvons faire pour soutenir le développement d’une culture de la recherche pédagogique.

Um passeio pela modernidade: espaço, tempo e sociedade
Authors: Silva Luz Neto Daniel Rodrigues , Lins Cíntia Dos Santos , Lucena Gleydson Gonzaga , Silva Rubens Alves da 
Published: September 2021

O presente ensaio explana o tema (pós)modernidade relacionado com três elementos que julgamos essenciais para se tratar no âmbito das Ciências Humanas e, consequentemente, no campo da ciência geográfica: o espaço, o tempo e a sociedade. Entre os geógrafos, é imprescindível a inserção e a permanência das reflexões em outras disciplinas humanas e sociais. Assim, este texto está estruturado em duas partes principais: a primeira apresenta as principais ideias de quatro autores que escreveram sobre o referido tema: Zygmunt Bauman, Anthony Giddens, Debord Guy e Edward Soja. Em seguida, mostra relação entre os textos, promovendo um “diálogo” entre esses pensadores, focando o tema da modernidade: o espaço, o tempo e a sociedade.
