Authors: Ramírez Sarmiento Albeiro Miguel Ángel , Pardo García Néstor Alejandro 
Published: December 2024

El presente estudio analiza el uso de cuantificadores no tradicionales, por ejemplo, un pocotón, un tris, pertenecientes al registro coloquial observado en las ciudades de Bogotá y Cali, Colombia. 122 estudiantes universitarios de Bogotá y 153 de Cali respondieron encuestas en las que se solicitaba incluir todas las expresiones para cantidades altas y bajas utilizadas en cualquier situación cotidiana. Las entradas léxicas obtenidas se sistematizaron con la información acerca del carácter del cuantificador (cantidad baja o alta), se calculó la cantidad de repeticiones de cada entrada en la población y se realizaron análisis estadísticos ANOVA. En resumen, se observaron diferencias entre las entradas utilizadas en las dos ciudades, se detectó una tendencia marcada a utilizar frases nominales para cuantificar y se concluyó que el uso de expresiones cuantificadoras complejas obedece a la necesidad de comunicar connotaciones positivas o negativas sutiles que los hablantes desean expresar a través de la cuantificación.

Published: December 2024

Skaitmeninėms technologijoms vis labiau įsigalint, kyla klausimas kaip jos gali prisidėti prie ugdymo proceso, kokius naujus metodus gali pasiūlyti ir kokius iššūkius kelia pedagogams. Ar padeda dirbtinis intelektas diferencijuoti užduotis, atsižvelgiant į kiekvieno vaiko individualius poreikius? Ar gali užtikrinti ugdymo kokybę, nepažeidžiant etikos principų, laikantis duomenų apsaugos? Tyrimo tikslas – atskleisti dirbtino intelekto panaudojimo galimybes ikimokyklinio ir priešmokyklinio amžiaus vaikų ugdyme. Tyrimo metodai: mokslinės literatūros analizė, anketinė apklausa, kiekybinė duomenų analizė. Pagrindinės išvados: Švietimo srityje dirbtiniu intelektu grįstų skaitmeninių technologijų potencialas slypi jų gebėjime kurti adaptuotas mokymosi aplinkas, pritaikytas individualiems mokinių poreikiams ir pažangai. Dirbtiniu intelektu grįstų skaitmeninių technologijų valdomos interaktyvios mokymosi aplinkos suteikia greitą grįžtamąjį ryšį, padedantį vaikams suprasti ir taisyti savo klaidas, taip skatinant gilesnį mokymąsi. Empirinio tyrimo metu nustatyta, jog pedagogai sutinka, kad skaitmeninės technologijos ugdo vaikų mokėjimą mokytis, problemų sprendimo įgūdžius, skaitmeninį sumanumą ir kūrybiškumą. Skaitmeninių technologijų įtraukimą į ugdymo procesą laiko svarbiu aspektu, bet priemonių, motyvacijos ir skaitmeninės kompetencijos stoka trukdo sėkmingai integracijai.

Published: December 2024

Įtraukiojo ugdymo tikslas – užtikrinti, jog visiems besimokantiems būtų sudarytos vienodos galimybės gauti kokybišką ugdymą švietimo įstaigose. Augantis specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių vaikų skaičius bendrojo ugdymo įstaigose, didina mokinio padėjėjų skaičių gupėse/ klasėse. Pagalba vaikui, turinčiam specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių, būna labai individuali, mokinio padėjėjui ne visada aiški, suprantama, ko iš jo tikimasi. Šis tyrimas orientuotas į specialiosios pagalbos teikimą vaikams su individualiais ugdymosi poreikiais. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas specialiosios pagalbos teikimas bei mokinio padėjėjo gebėjimų, kompetencijų plėtojimo aktualumas įtraukiojo ugdymo kontekste. Atliktas tyrimas parodė, jog ikimokyklinio ugdymo ir pradinio ugdymo pedagogų požiūriu pozityviai vertina mokinio padėjėjų bendravimo ypatumus su specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių vaikais (pagarbią elgseną, gebėjimą kontroliuoti savo jausmus, emocijas, kantrumą, dėmesingumą), pakankamai supranta jų individualius poreikius, derina veiklas su mokytoju, bendradarbiauja su kitais ugdymo proceso dalyviais (švietimo pagalbos specialistais), tačiau mokytojai akcentuoja, jog teikiant specialiają pagalbą stokojama gebėjimų dirbti su ugdytiniais, turinčiais elgesio problemų, tinkamai paaiškinti pateiktą mokymo turinį atsižvelgiant į ugdymosi sunkumus, skatinti šių ugdytinių savarankiškumą, informuoti mokytoją apie vaiko daromą pažangą. Mokinio padėjėjas atlieka įvairius vaidmenis, teikdamas pagalbą ugdytiniui grupėje/ klasėje. Įvairios ugdomosios veiklos reikalauja skirtingų mokytojo padėjėjo gebėjimų darbui su vaikais, turinčiais individualių poreikių.

Background This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge of postpartum patients on traditional (lactation amenorrhea method (LAM), withdrawal, calendar) and modern (condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), pills, implants, sterilization) contraception methods available in Haiti as well as their behaviour towards them. We also sought to investigate possible correlations between the level of knowledge and other variables such as age, parity and level of education. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the maternity ward of Saint-Nicolas Hospital, Saint-Marc, involving 175 postpartum women who met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate. Data were collected using a questionnaire covering knowledge, use of contraceptive methods, and socio-demographic information. Statistical analysis included univariate and bivariate descriptive analyses using Epi Info 7.2.5.0, with a P-value < 0.05 considered significant. Results Most women (58.86%) were aged 20-30. Most (89.14%) had previously used contraception, with male condoms being the most common (74.35%) and IUDs the least used (1.3%). Knowledge levels were generally average (36-53 points /72), with only 5% having good knowledge. Fear of side effects was a significant barrier (26%). Higher knowledge levels correlated with age, parity, and education (P = 0.02). Conclusions Contraceptive knowledge among the women was average and improved with age, education, and parity. Modern contraceptive methods were underutilized. Awareness and education targeting younger and less educated individuals in rural areas are essential to enhance use of effective contraception, prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce maternal mortality rates.

Welcome to the fourth issue of Teaching and Learning Excellence through Scholarship (TALES) from the Community College of Baltimore County(CCBC)! I hope you appreciate the diverse range of insights from our authors as much as I did. The opening perspective is an inspiring peek at a project that puts community college voices in the spotlight and continues to garner praise for doing so. The issue also contains featured tales, each from outside CCBC, showcasing community college efforts to support students by cultivating workplace skills and reducing costs through open educational resources in addition to supporting faculty with targeted technology training. This year’s research articles, all from CCBC faculty, center repeatedly on the quest to leverage classroom engagement to boost student success. They present the results from employing a variety of techniques from team Jeopardy to role play and forming real-world content connections to plickers. Are plickers new to you? They were new to me too! Check out the article on improving exam performance in business law to learn more. I also learned a lot from the review article on gender representation in engineering programs – as a female scientist I am frequently reminded that even in 2024 women still have strides to make towards equity in education. At least I can attest that TALES, from our editorial board to our reviewers and authors and hopefully you too, dear readers, has strong female representation.

Authors: Mondal Raston , Biswas Tanusri , Modak Banhsikha , Ghosh Sudip 
Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Dengue fever, a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes, is linked to four serotypes of the dengue virus. Among those susceptible to infection, children face heightened vulnerability, and the risk of severe dengue disease is particularly pronounced in infants and children, especially those who have encountered a different dengue serotype in the past. To effectively prevent and control dengue, possessing sufficient knowledge, maintaining positive attitudes, and adopting proper practices (KAP) are imperative. This research seeks to gauge the prevalence of dengue among participants and explore the correlation between households' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dengue (KAP) and the likelihood of children testing positive for dengue antibodies. The study aims to account for socioeconomic and demographic variations, providing insights into the multifaceted factors influencing dengue among children in India.

Methodology:
This analysis drew upon data obtained from a cross-sectional study conducted inWest Bengal, India, spanning from November 2022 to October 2023. The study encompassed 392 households and 483 participating children.

Results:
The study revealed a crude dengue of 25.1% among the participating children (n=483). Analysis of household KAP scores indicated that 5% of households achieved scores exceeding 75%, while the majority fell within the range of 50% to 75% (n=271,69%), and 101 households scored below 50% (26%). Notably, each KAP domain exhibited a significant and positive association with the others.

Conclusions:
The findings from our study offer valuable insights into the prevalence of dengue among children in West Bengal, India. Shedding light on specific demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with the risk of dengue in this population. Interestingly, our results indicate that relying solely on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) may not effectively pinpoint individuals at a higher risk of dengue infection.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Hip Preservation Surgery: Are They All the Same?
Authors: Sang Luke , Niknam Kian , Swarup Ishaan 
Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Historically, for hip procedures, the Hip Outcome Score (HOS) and the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) have been commonly usedas instruments for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, these tools are often influenced by other factors, such as concurrent illnesses, making more standardized tools a preferable choice. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-25 (PROMIS-25) is a standardized, validated PROMs metric that has correlated well with several other anatomy-specific PROMs tools. In this study, we aim to assess and compare the correlations between iHOT-12 and HOS with PROMIS-25 in adult and pediatric hip preservation patients.

Methods:
This study included patients indicated for a hip preservation procedure at our institution. All patients completed the iHOT-12, HOS, and PROMIS instruments through an electronic PRO platform before surgery. Spearman correlations were calculated separately for adult and pediatric patients between the various domains in each tool. A rho-to-z transformation analysis was conducted to assess whether there are differences in PROMs correlations between demographic factors.

Results:
A total of 62 patients were enrolled in this study from July 2020 to July 2023. The average age was 20.1 years (SD: 6.7 years), and more pediatric patients (64.5%) were enrolled than adult patients (35.4%). Multiple PROMIS domains, such as functional mobility, had strong or strong-moderate correlations with other hip PROMs in both adult (HOS activities of daily living: ρ = 0.76, P < 0.01; HOS Sports: ρ = 0.84, P < 0.01; iHOT-12: ρ = 0.85, P < 0.01) and pediatric (HOS activities of daily living: ρ = 0.79, P < 0.01; HOS Sports: ρ = 0.88, P < 0.01; iHOT-12: ρ = 0.66, P < 0.01) patients. Notable effects of age and sex were observed on correlations between PROMs (P< 0.05).

Conclusion:
There are strong correlations between iHOT-12, HOS, and PROMIS domains designed to measure similar constructs in both age groups. However, certain demographic differences may markedly influence the correlation between iHOT-12/HOS and PROMIS. PROMIS-25 can accurately capture outcomes for both adult and pediatric patients undergoing hip preservation surgery.

Purpose High levels of preoperative anxiety amongst pediatric patients can lead to postoperative complications and increased healthcare costs, necessitating effective non-pharmacological interventions. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of “Surgery Prep,” a gamified virtual reality (VR) app that features a perioperative walkthrough designed to help pediatric patients psychologically prepare for surgery. Method The VR application was implemented by a Child Life Specialist (CLS) at a hospital using Meta Quest VR hardware to 15 eligible patients ages 5 to 14 years scheduled for a surgical procedure requiring anesthesia. Pediatric patients and their parents were surveyed to assess the application’s feasibility and acceptability and effectiveness into psychologically preparation and reducing pre-operative anxiety in pediatric patients before surgery. Result The results of this study demonstrated the feasibility of a VR perioperative walkthrough by the CLS team who recruited 15 pediatric patients with 3 refusals to participate. All patients completed the study. Acceptability was highlighted by patients and parents reporting the VR experience to be fun, interactive, engaging, and a tool for distraction and psychological surgery preparation. This matched a reasonably high average System Usability score of 72.2 (95% CI = 64.0 to 80.3). The most common complaint from parents and patients was that the headset was heavy. Conclusion This study found that a VR app designed to reduce preoperative anxiety was feasible for deployment by CLS in a hospital and acceptable by pediatric patients and their parents. The VR experience introduced a means to psychologically prepare patients for surgery and distract them while they await surgery in a hospital.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between sarcopenia and transthyretin levels among community-dwelling older adults in Padang. This study employed a cross-sectional design and included 45 community-dwelling individuals aged 60 years and above who visited Andalas Primary Health Care in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Characteristics of sociodemographic and lifestyle habits were collected using a general questionnaire. Sarcopenia was defined in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria encompass three components: low muscle mass, as determined by an index of appendicular skeletal mass/height2 less than 7,0 kg/m2 for males and less than 5,7 kg/m2 for females; low physical performance, as indicated by a gait speed less than 1,0 m/s; low muscle strength, defined as handgrip strength less than 26 kg for males and less than 18 kg for females. Accordingly, sarcopenia was defined as the presence of low muscle mass in conjunction with low physical performance and/or low muscle strength. Transthyretin levels were considered as independent variables in order to evaluate the potential correlation between transthyretin and sarcopenia status using bivariate analysis. The overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 51.1%, with four cases (40%) observed in males and 19 cases (54.3%) in females classified as having sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was significantly lower among participants with normal nutritional status. A comparison of the participants with and without sarcopenia revealed that the former exhibited higher levels of transthyretin (p = 0,000).

Published: December 2024

This journal research aims to see the implementation of teacher perceptions in curriculum development. This research uses quantitative research by collecting structured data through measurement instruments such as questionnaires. From the results of observations through questionnaires or systematic observations regarding this curriculum change, first, this curriculum change has an effect on learning styles, for example, if previously teachers only relied on books and blackboards when teaching, now it is all digital and of course this also makes it easier for teachers to teach and makes it easier for students to receive material from the teacher and can also influence learning models or methods. Meanwhile, changes to the curriculum can improve the quality of education. With this curriculum change, there are also challenges faced by schools, one of which is that teachers need to be prepared to utilize technology effectively in the learning process and also how to implement it. So, in conclusion, this curriculum change is indeed important but must be adjusted to the curriculum and current developments. In accordance with research that the author observed, schools currently prefer the Independent Curriculum.
