Authors: Pape Magdalena , Herpertz Stephan , Schroeder Stefanie , Seiferth Caroline , Färber Tanja , Wolstein Jörg , Steins-Loeber Sabine 
Published: September 2021

Background and Aims: It is assumed that a relevant subgroup of individuals experiences an addiction-like eating behaviour (Food Addiction), characterized by an impaired control over eating behaviour, emotional eating and food craving. Individuals experiencing Food Addiction partially share common symptomatology with Binge-Eating-Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Food Addiction, general psychopathology, and associations with weight- and addiction-related constructs in individuals with overweight and obesity, who did not suffer from Binge-Eating-Disorder or Bulimia Nervosa.Methods:N=213 (67.1% female; MBMI=33.35kg/m2, SDBMI=3.79kg/m2) participants who were included in a weight loss program (I-GENDO project) reported BMI and completed questionnaires before the start of the treatment. Food Addiction severity, depressive symptoms, alcohol use disorder, internet use disorder, psychological distress, impulsivity personality trait, impulsive and emotional eating behaviour, food related inhibitory control, weight bias internalization, and self-efficacy were assessed.Results: The prevalence of Food Addiction was 15% with higher, although not statistically significant, prevalence in female (18.2%) compared to male (8.6%) participants. Food Addiction was associated with higher BMI at baseline assessment, low self-esteem, impulsive and emotional eating behaviour, weight bias internalization, and deficits in food-related inhibitory control. In addition, correlations were found between Food Addiction and severity of depressive symptoms, internet use disorder, and psychological distress.Conclusion: A relevant subgroup of participants experiences Food Addiction even when controlling for Binge-Eating-Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa. Future studies are warranted that investigate whether Food Addiction affects treatment success.

Published: September 2021

Background: Proximal humerus fractures are common in a clinic and account for ~6% of all adult fractures. Hemiarthroplasty (HA) or locking plate (LP) fixation is currently recommended for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures (PHFs); however, there is no uniform standard for optimal surgical treatment or functional recovery. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of LP and HA in the treatment of PHFs.Methods: Relative studies associated with HA and LP were searched in December 2020 in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and OVID databases. The quality of the studies, functional outcomes (including the Constant-Murley score (CMS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Short Form Health Survey (SF-12v2), complications, and reoperation rate were extracted and analyzed with the Stata 14.0 software.Results: A total of 958 patients from 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis, which showed that patients treated with LP had a significantly lower reoperation rate, a higher complication rate, and a higher CMS score than those treated with HA. There were no significant differences in ASES, SST, or SF-12v2 scores between treatment groups.Conclusions: Compared with HA, LP exhibited better clinical efficacy in some aspects. However, large sample and randomized, controlled studies are needed for further validation.

Objective: This study aimed to establish a model to distinguish Kawasaki disease (KD) from other fever illness using the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and immunological factors. Method: We enrolled a total of 692 patients (including 198 with KD and 494 children with febrile diseases). Of those, 415 patients were selected to be the training group and 277 patients to be the validation group. Laboratory data, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and immunological factors, were retrospectively collected for an analysis after admission. We used univariate and multivariate logistic regressions and nomograms for the analysis. Result: Patients with KD showed significantly higher C3 and a lower PNI. After a multivariate logistic regression, the total leukocyte count, PNI, C3, and NLR showed a significance (p < 0.05) and then performed well with the nomogram model. The areas under the ROC in the training group and the validation group were 0.858 and 0.825, respectively. The calibration curves of the two groups for the probability of KD showed a near agreement to the actual probability. Conclusions: Compared with children with febrile diseases, patients with KD showed increased C3 and a decreased nutritional index of the PNI. The nomogram established with these factors could effectively identify KD from febrile illness in children.

Published: September 2021

La escasa cultura del patrimonio privado, es una de las circunstancias que originan conflicto entre particulares que terminan en largos litigios en los Tribunales.
Aunado a las escasas políticas públicas para su protección, ha sido el campo propicio para que pseudo gestores inmobiliarios, abusen de las personas que de buena fe ponen en sus manos el patrimonio que con toda una vida de esfuerzo han construido.
La cultura del patrimonio privado es importante para la calidad de vida de las personas y para una empresa es fundamental para sobrevivir y continuar aportando a la activación económica y generación de empleos.
Es por ello que, al momento de realizar cualquier transacción sobre el patrimonio privado de las personas, cuando menos deben de estar informados de cuáles son las disposiciones básicas para llevar a cabo su acto jurídico y que tengan certeza de la propiedad que adquieren, y evitar problemas a futuro.

Published: September 2021

This research focused on the training of school leaders in transformational leadership - which is recommended for educational leaders all over the world (Alkhasawneh, 2018) - and to determine if it impacts their leadership skills or not. Based on relevant literature and training need analysis, training was planned and given to 120 in-service school heads for one month. The research was quasi-experimental that used a one-group pre-test post-test design because no similar group was available. The experimental group was divided into two groups; public and private, for a comparison. Also, a follow-up study was conducted to keep it nearer to the experimental approach. The training delivered to the school principals comprised of selected content about the concept of leadership and transformational leadership. This content was reinforced by real-world examples and relevant leadership activities. Participants were assessed under pre-defined grading criteria that were their attendance, participation, and performance in quizzes and assignments during the training. After completion, they were observed and evaluated for their leadership skills at their workplaces and awarded with the points. This quantitative data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test for knowing and comparing the results. It was found that the transformational leadership style training had improved the effectiveness and leadership skills of school leaders. Similar training courses have been endorsed by training participants for enhancing the leadership styles of school leaders.

Women’s Experiences as Educational Leaders: Evidence from Islamabad Model Schools
Authors: Yasmeen Saima , Ali Rabia 
Published: September 2021

This paper examines the experiences of women in educational administrative positions in public Schools in Islamabad, Pakistan by using a qualitative research design. In-depth interviews were conducted with head teachers from twenty girls’ model schools from urban areas of Islamabad. The findings of this study reveal that school leadership is not as simplistic and easy as assumed. Instead, it is complex and challenging due to personal and organizational constraints. The data shows that the participants felt reluctant to take leading positions as a result of work-family conflict. Furthermore, they also feared to be able to balance household responsibilities and administrative tasks. While some felt reluctant to work as leaders due to their attributes, others who opted to take the leading positions made personal sacrifices. Moreover, several organizational rules and regulations such as maternity leave and policies regarding child care were believed to distract teachers thus providing hurdles in their careers. It can be concluded that women navigate through these personal and organizational constraints to prove themselves as effective leaders. The findings from this study may offer useful insights to early-career women who aspire to work as potential leaders. These also have implications for policymakers concerned with school education in the country.

Authors: Shah Nazir Haider , Arshad Mahek , Nazir Nadia 
Published: September 2021

In recent years there has been an increased rate of awareness about occupational stress and its effects on work competencies. The teaching profession is one of the sensitive profession on which the future of any country depends. As far as Pakistan is concerned teachers and teaching both are unfortunately not enjoying very good and healthy social and financial status. Thus, the study was designed to examine the determinants of occupational stress among secondary school teachers. The main objectives of the study were: to examine the occupational stress of teachers teaching at public and private secondary schools and to identify the reasons for occupational stress among teachers of secondary schools. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers selected descriptive research design. Population of the study included all public and private sector school teachers. The sample size was comprised of one hundred teachers (50 male and 50 female) through a stratified random sampling technique. David Fontana Professional Life Stress inventory (1989) and inventory used in UCU Health and Safety by John Bamford was adapted. Data were analyzed through mean, standard deviation, percentages, and t-test. Findings of the study revealed that private school teachers have a significantly higher level of professional life stress as compared to the teachers of public schools, a job is the primary cause of occupational stress, and teachers were not satisfied with their role in schools which is one of the determinants of stress. It is recommended that the administration of a private sector school may provide a tension-free environment for teachers.

Multilingualism as a Tool of Marginalization or Empowerment in Pakistan: A Classroom Perspective
Authors: Azher Musarrat , Awan Riffat-un-Nisa , Noureen Ghazala 
Published: September 2021

Pakistani educational system is dominated by multilingual phenomenon at all stages. The students with different levels of language proficiency enter university education where classrooms are dominated by multilingual phenomenon with the main adherence to English language. The major concerns of this study are: does multilingualism in Pakistani university classrooms transfer or inculcate any sense of marginalization or empowerment amongst the students at BS level; whether this sense of marginalization or empowerment can be related to their socioeconomic background and to their private and public schooling. The data were collected through a self-developed questionnaire from BS 3rd semester students enrolled in University of Sargodha. The questionnaire included close ended as well as open ended items which were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results revealed that students with low socio-economic background and public schooling were on the verge of marginalization and demotion which have developed a sense of low confidence in them. Students from private sector English medium schools were more confident, interactive, and participative in the classroom, hence empowered. The study concluded with some suggestion that universities may organize a zero semester for students to teach them a deficiency course of communication skills in English.

Instructional Effectiveness in History Classrooms: An Analysis of Students’ Perceptions of Instructional Practices of University Teachers
Authors: Muhammad Dr. Yaar , Zaka Saba 
Published: September 2021

This qualitative case study was conducted to explore the perceptions of History research students about the effectiveness of instructional practices of university teachers. This study assumes that research students are active stakeholders and keen observers, so they perceive their teachers’ professionalism very deeply. All students who had completed their coursework and were working on their research work at the MPhil level in the Department of History at a public university were selected to conduct this study. An interview guide was constructed to collect the data, which included three significant dimensions: students’ engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 students who volunteered to participate in the study. Interview data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings of the study suggest that most students perceived that teachers used a variety of techniques to motivate the students who showed low interest in the class. Moreover, they perceived that the instructional strategies of teachers were diverse, catering to various learning styles of students. However, students also perceived that some teachers had discouraging behaviour on students’ questioning and also waste class time gossiping with students due to lack of proper planning. It seems there is a need to develop mechanisms for the professional development of faculty members. In addition, there is a need to find ways to motivate teachers to bring effectiveness to their instruction in higher education classrooms.

Siegfried Kracauer, Sobre la amistad, editorial Las cuarenta, Buenos Aires, 2019, 88 páginas
Authors: Chausovsky Alexis Ariel 
Published: September 2021

La última década ha brindado la oportunidad al público hispanoparlante de conocer la obra del crítico alemán Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966). Poco a poco, sus textos han cobrado vigor y el conjunto de sus producciones, aun disperso en español, gana sitio en la producción científica y filosófica contemporánea. La luz que actualmente se echa sobre el pensamiento de Kracauer comienza a desplazarlo del lugar que le fuera asignado hasta hace unos años, donde se lo conocía principalmente como un pionero en la teoría del cine, aunque algo ingenuo superado.

Published: September 2021

Abstract

BVRI polarization measurements of 14 selected young stars with circumstellar dust disks are presented. The interstellar polarization in the direction of these stars is not significant. The observed polarization data and its wavelength-dependence indicate that it is intrinsic, due to scattering by circumstellar, asymmetric dusty disks/envelopes.
Formes du négatif et altérité lors d’interactions entre élèves et enseignants dans des situations d’apprentissage contextualisées
Authors: Montandon Christiane 
Published: September 2021

À travers ce qui se dit entre enseignants et élèves est mis à jour ce qui est tu, sous-entendu, impensé. La condition d’émergence de ces non-dits réside dans la prise en compte de l’altérité des interlocuteurs, dans le respect de l’hétérogénéité des points de vue de chacun. Une telle hétérogénéité, loin d’être un obstacle, s’avère une ressource pour explorer ce que l’enseignant comprend de ce que dit l’autre, mais aussi ce qu’il comprend in fine ne pas avoir compris en découvrant la diversité des interprétations possibles du discours de l’autre. Cette nécessaire articulation de l’expérience de l’altérité et de la découverte de non-dits légitime l’enjeu épistémologique d’un corpus de terrain constitué à la fois d’une approche vidéo-ethnographique et d’une approche clinique : c’est donc un couplage de données objectives à partir des enregistrements vidéo des interactions entre élèves pendant des cours de SVT (Sciences de la vie et de la terre) et de données subjectives recueillies à partir d’entretiens de type compréhensif auprès de l’enseignant concerné. La collaboration entre praticien et chercheur favorise une démarche réflexive chez l’enseignant, soucieux de comprendre son rapport aux apprenants.
