Authors: Sarhan Mohammed B. A. , Basha Hanin , Giacaman Rita , Jimba Masamine , Fujiya Rika 
Published: October 2024

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered major changes worldwide, with repercussions on mental health and education. The present study primarily aimed to retrospectively explore undergraduate students’ risk perceptions of COVID-19 and their experiences with remote learning during the pandemic, with an emphasis on their high school years.

Methods
This qualitative photovoice study was conducted between 30 March and 4 May 2023. The target population of this study was first- and second-year undergraduate students who had been in high school during the pandemic. Maximum variation, snowball, and convenience sampling methods were used to recruit students. They were asked to share photos and provide comments in written or voice messages explaining their experiences during the pandemic. Voice messages were manually transcribed verbatim. A manual content analysis of these comments was performed to derive the codes and themes relevant to the study objectives.

Results
Forty-seven students initially agreed to participate and signed an informed consent form. However, the final sample included 16 students (nine men and seven women). The content analysis revealed four themes that were identified as the main factors contributing to high school students’ risk perceptions of COVID-19. The first theme was psychosocial factors related to the pandemic, including emotions, isolation and stress. The second focused on the mechanisms used to cope with the pandemic. The third theme included beliefs and behaviours that either increased or decreased COVID-19 risk. The final theme addressed schools’ responses to COVID-19, including factors such as maintaining connections with schools, preventive measures and the transition to remote learning.

Conclusion
This study highlighted the extensive impact of the pandemic on Palestinian high school students, demanding instantaneous adaptation to ensure their safety and well-being while maintaining the quality of education. Remote learning has become an important strategy with opportunities and challenges for high school students.
Influence of dynamic assessment on Taiwanese undergraduates and graduate students’ academic writing of research proposals
Authors: Chien Chin-Wen 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Dynamic assessment (DA) integrates assessment and instruction between the instructor and learners. It emphasizes the learning process. DA was introduced to 24 undergraduates and 9 graduate students in two academic writing courses in Taiwan. The analysis of the pre- and post-tests, writing portfolios, observations, and interviews reached the following major conclusions. First, participants had a positive attitude toward DA, particularly regarding expert evaluation as the mediation for identifying global and local errors. Secondly, the integration of DA influenced the participants’ academic writing on research proposals, particularly the structure and the use of the APA format. Thirdly, participants regarded the instructor’s model writing and the exemplary journal articles as useful mediations. Suggestions on the effective integration of DA into academic writing courses are provided.
Investigating the plurilingual profiles and linguistic repertoires of student language teachers: issues of SLA, multilingual assessment, and the role of L2 Italian in a localized Greek context
Authors: Mouti Anna 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Plurilingual competence or repertoire of languages refers to all individuals being potentially plurilingual. As plurilingual competence and language repertoires are individual, assessment modes targeted to the individual and localized to the context should be encouraged. This study explored and depicted the plurilingual profile of Italian Studies students (and thus student language teachers) in the Greek context through various modes. The role of the Italian language in this localized context was also explored and the language trajectory was attempted to be de-picted qualitatively. The instruments used were the Language Passport, the DIALANG diagnostic test, the ECML ‘Self-evaluate your language skills’ tool, a plurilingual portrait (to make the language repertoire visible), and a short personal written narrative. It is mainly a qualitative study, and instances of multi-method research are also present. Moreover, the whole procedure contributed to incorporating plurilingualism and multiculturalism into language teacher education for student Italian language teachers in higher education.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the rapidly evolving educational landscape, this study investigates the effectiveness of hybrid teaching methods in enhancing oral communication skills in Indonesian higher education, marking a critical exploration at the intersection of digital and traditional pedagogies. Anchored in a qualitative research methodology, it seeks to unpack the complex experiences of Indonesian lecturers using hybrid teaching methods to enhance university students’ oral communication skills. Data were meticulously gathered through a Google Forms survey consisting of 12 open-ended questions. The survey, conducted from March to August 2023, targeted lecturers from diverse geographical regions of Indonesia, ensuring a wide range of teaching experiences. Results reveal that lecturers are motivated by the need to adapt to pandemic restrictions, expand educational accessibility, and integrate technology into teaching. They employ a variety of hybrid teaching methods, including live online lectures, in-person workshops, flipped classrooms, and project-based learning. These strategies are supported by various technological tools such as Zoom, Google Classroom, Slack, Padlet, and Mentimeter. Despite the benefits, lecturers face challenges such as varying levels of technological access and proficiency among students, maintaining engagement, and managing increased workloads. The study highlights the importance of culturally responsive teaching practices, integrating culturally relevant materials, and using interactive digital tools to enhance oral communication skills. Continuous professional development and institutional support are essential for the success of hybrid teaching methods. This research offers valuable insights and recommendations for optimizing oral communication skills in hybrid learning, with lessons adaptable to multicultural and multilingual contexts worldwide.
Esterification of wood with citric acid and sorbitol: effect of the copolymer on the properties of the modified wood. Part 1: macroscopic changes, fixation of chemicals and impact bending properties
Authors: Hötte Christoph , Militz Holger 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Wood modification processes based on citric acid in combination with various copolymers have gained in importance in recent years. These processes also include modification with citric acid (CA) and sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, which is currently in the industrial realisation phase in Germany (SorCA) and Norway (CIOL). The modification of wood with sorbitol and citric acid (SorCA) can significantly improve the dimensional stability and durability of the wood. It is hypothesised that the addition of a copolymer may improve the fixation of the chemicals within as well as the flexibility of the modified wood matrix. In this study, the macroscopic changes, the fixation of the chemicals and the impact bending properties of wood modified with CA and SorCA are compared. Both modifications cause a permanent increase in mass (WPG) and volume (CWB). The fixation of the chemicals was comparable for both modifications; at high chemical concentrations, the SorCA polyester fixed slightly better within the wood matrix. Both modifications led to embrittlement of the wood, measured by a decrease in the impact bending strength (IBS). This embrittlement was clearly concentration-dependent and slightly more pronounced for the modification with CA.
Examination of the use of thorium-based fuel for burning minor actinides in European sodium cooled fast reactor
Authors: Ibrahim Amr 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
To reduce the potential and volume of radiotoxicity of radioactive wastes, minor actinides (MAs) elements recovered from discharged fuel are to be recycled. In this context, the main aim of this work is to examine the possibility of using thorium-based fuel for burning extra MAs in the fourth generation European Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (ESFR). For that MCNPX transport code was used to design a representative fuel assembly of this concept. The reference uranium-based fuel was uniformly replaced by thorium mixed with different fractions of MAs and burned for 2050 effective full power days. The influence of MAs on the evolution of reactivity and fuel transmutation is being investigated to ensure the performance of the fuel. Also, different neutronic and safety parameters such as neutron yield, neutron spectrum, neutron flux, effective delayed neutron fraction, Doppler constant, sodium void reactivity coefficient, were computed and their change with MAs content was investigated. Results indicate that recycling of MAs in ESFR using thorium-based fuel has a positive effect on reactivity and transmutation evolution but on other hand has a negative effect on safety parameters.
Grain Structure and Tensile Properties of As-Cast and Aged Pb–1.1%Sn–0.05%Ca
Authors: Dzenzerskiy Victor , Tarasov Serhii , Sukhova Olena , Ivanov Volodymyr 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The effects of temperature parameters of casting procedure and aging time at room temperature on the grain structure and tensile properties of Pb–1.1%Sn–0.05%Ca alloy for positive grids of lead-acid batteries were studied by means of optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile properties measurements. It was established that with melt or mold temperatures rising, grains in the alloy structure become larger, which causes an increase in the elongation and a decrease in the ultimate tensile strength of the alloy. Natural aging for 32 days does not noticeably change grain size but affects tensile properties of the alloy. Final ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and Young’s modulus are found to be 2.7, 4.9, and 1.3 times higher, respectively, but the elongation is 2.4 times lower because of the precipitation of intermetallic phases.
Garth Brooks Soundalikes, YouTube Misinformation, and Authenticity Politics
Authors: Parler Samuel 
Published: October 2024

Country musician Garth Brooks has long resisted digital distribution of his recordings, which remain unavailable on most streaming platforms. This artificial scarcity has led audiences to settle for virtually identical recordings performed by cover musicians. Known as soundalikes, these recordings garner hundreds of millions of streams across platforms. On YouTube, uploaders often post soundalikes with misleading titles, causing listeners to mistake soundalikes for original Brooks recordings. This widespread practice inspires users to debate the ethical, aesthetic, and economic implications of soundalikes using YouTube’s comments forum.
This article uses text data mining to examine online reception for thirty-seven YouTube videos featuring Brooks and his soundalikes, comprising over 24,000 comments. Alienated from musical labor and absent authoritative paratexts and distribution networks, these listeners compensate by relying upon social media to fill in epistemological gaps and develop a new ethics of listening. Echoing historical discourses on artistic forgery, some listeners invest in exposing deception, posing as style experts whose sometimes erroneous attributions often spill over into negative aesthetic and ethical judgments. Yet others enjoy soundalikes as adequate alternatives, focusing on personal meaning or mimetic craft, thereby eroding the authority of the original recording as a uniquely expressive artifact. Broader user reflections on digital distribution reveal YouTube as a significant site of meaning-making, community formation, and epistemic danger. As deepfakes and other musical deceptions proliferate, this article demonstrates how deregulated social media distribution can destabilize previously straightforward questions of authorship and reshape attitudes toward artistic integrity and just listening habits.
Lithuanian women's political and social movement at the end of XX century
Authors: Jurėnienė Virginija 
Published: October 2024

Lithuanian women started to organize themselves in 1905. In October 1905, a women amalgamation was established. Its aim was to join women into the movement for their political and civil rights.
In 1907, in Kaunas, the first women assembly was organized. Women of different social status attended the assembly. Among them were the writers Julija Žemaitė-Žymantienė, Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė, Liudvika Didžiulienė, Ona Pleirytė-Puidienė, Marija Pečkauskaitė-Šatrijos Ragana, Sofija Ivanauskaitė-Pšibiliauskienė-Lazdynų Pelėda, the socially active women Felicija Bortkevičienė, servants, women workers, and peasants. Most of the assembly members were country women. They spoke about the wrongs that had been done to them. They wanted to get some advice and ways to solve their problems.
The political parties, i.e., Social Democrats, Democrats, and Christian Democrats, wanted to gain influence on the women's movement. Only the Christian Democrats succeeded in this. This party organized the first women’s assembly and the Christian women’s organization. As a result, the women’s movement split into two organizations: Christian women and laywomen.
The Lithuanian Christian women’s organization was established in March 1908. The public women’s organization wasn’t formally established because the Russian officials did not issue a license for their activity.

A munkahelyi konfliktustípusok és a munkahelyváltási szándék kapcsolata
Authors: Czifra Julianna , Gerákné Krasz Katalin Olga , Csukonyi Csilla 
Published: October 2024

Háttér és célok: Míg a konfliktusok a munka világában kifejezetten fontos szerepet töltenek be, hiszen befolyásolják az egyén, a csapat és a szervezet hatékonyságát, teljesítményét, és jóllétét, viszonylag kevés szervezetpszichológiai kutatás foglalkozik átfogóan azzal a témával, milyen típusú konfliktusokkal találkoznak ma a munkavállalók, és hogyan oldják meg a konfliktusaikat. Célunk olyan saját kérdőív kidolgozása volt, amelyben a munkavállalók közvetlenül értékelhetik a szakirodalomban ismert munkahelyi konfliktusok gyakoriságát, ami lehetőséget ad egyúttal ezen konfliktustípusok rangsorolására és kategorizálására is. Ezen túl azt is felmértük, melyek a munkavállalók konfliktusrendezési preferenciái, és a konfliktustípusok és előfordulási gyakoriságuk ismerete milyen mértékben jelzi előre a munkahelyváltási szándékukat. Módszer: Az online kutatásban (n = 230) állandó munkaviszonnyal rendelkező munkavállalók vettek részt a Covid–19-pandémia utolsó szakaszában. Exploratív jellegű elemzésünk során elsősorban deskriptív statisztikai eszközöket használtunk, továbbá a konfliktusok kategorizálását főkomponens-elemzéssel, a munkahelyváltási szándékot pedig logisztikus regressziós elemzéssel vizsgáltuk. Eredmények: Az eredmények alapján az látható, hogy az általunk kialakított 15 konfliktustípus alkalmas lehet a valóságban előforduló munkahelyi konfliktushelyzetek lefedésére. A konfliktustípusok közül a leggyakoribbak a szervezet vezetőivel, a munkafolyamatokkal, a feladatokkal és a felettessel kapcsolatosak. Ugyanakkor kizárólag a jelenleg legjellemzőbb konfliktusokat tekintve a leggyakoribbak a feladatokra, a felettesre, a munkatársakra és a munkafolyamatokra vonatkoznak. Főkomponens-elemzéssel a konfliktustípusok 4 kategóriába csoportosíthatók (vezetés, munkavégzés, munkatársi kapcsolatok, inkluzivitás és diverzitás). A munkahelyváltási szándékot sorrendben a legmagasabb iskolai végzettség, a jelenleg legjellemzőbb konfliktus gyakorisága, és a konfliktustípusok közül pedig a szervezet vezetői és a pszichés munkahelyi légkör befolyásolja.
A csendes kilépés jelensége és mérése – a Csendes Kilépés Kérdőív adaptálása magyar nyelvre
Authors: Frankó Luca , Erdélyi Ajna 
Published: October 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: Csendes kilépés alatt azt értjük, amikor egy munkavállaló hivatalosan nem hagyja el a szervezetet, amelyben dolgozik, de mindenben a kötelező minimum teljesítésére törekszik csupán. A fogalom 2022 nyarán kezdett terjedni először a közösségi médiában, majd egyre több tudományos tanulmány témája lett. Az első eredmények mentén egy tömegjelenségről beszélünk, noha számos aspektusa még ma is feltáratlan. Tanulmányunk célja ennek a feltáró munkának a folytatása, illetve a jelenség beemelése a hazai tudományos diskurzusba. Ehhez a Csendes Kilépés Kérdőív magyar nyelvre történő adaptációjára vállalkoztunk, amelyhez a skála komfirmatív faktorelemzését, illetve konstruktumvaliditás-vizsgálatát végeztük el. Mindemellett teszteltük a Z generáció esetleges nagyobb érintettségének kérdését. Módszer: A vizsgálat 2023 decemberében online kérdőíves adatgyűjtéssel zajlott, 791 fő részvételével. Eredmények: A magyar nyelvű skála kapcsán az eredetivel megegyező 3 faktoros, 9 itemes struktúrát azonosítottunk. A csendes kilépés összefüggéseit vizsgálva a kiégéssel (r = 0,77, p < 0,001), valamint a kilépési szándékkal is erős, pozitív irányú együttjárást találtunk (r = 0,71, p ≤ 0,001). A jólléttel a közepesnél gyengébb, negatív irányú kapcsolatot (r = −0,29, p < 0,001) tudtunk igazolni. A Z generációs munkavállalók körében szignifikánsan magasabb csendes kilépést mértünk, mint az idősebb munkavállalók esetében (t = −4,26, df = 753, p < 0,001). A vizsgálatban részt vevők 56,5%-a csendes kilépőnek tekinthető. Következtetések: Az eredmények megerősítik, hogy a csendes kilépés egy motiválatlansággal jellemezhető állapot, amelynek a mentális egészségre is potenciálisan negatív hatása lehet, előfordulása pedig hazai mintán is rendkívül magas. A kialakulásának pontos folyamata, például a társadalmi-kulturális háttér szerepe még nagyrészt feltáratlan, ugyanúgy, ahogyan a kifutását befolyásoló tényezők. Ezen kérdések további hazai vizsgálatához kiváló eszköz lehet a tanulmányunkban bemutatott skála.
Региональные особенности контроля рождаемости в России в 2018–2022 гг.
Authors: Сакевич Виктория Ивановна , Денисов Борис Петрович 
Published: October 2024

Статья посвящена территориальному анализу показателей абортов в России. Основным источником данных послужила официальная статистика прерываний беременности, методология которой начиная с 2018 г. позволяет получить информацию, не доступную в предыдущие годы. Рассматриваются различия между регионами по уровню искусственных и самопроизвольных абортов, по доле абортов, выполненных в негосударственном секторе здравоохранения, по частоте использования медикаментозного метода прерывания беременности. Показано, что при общей тенденции снижения уровня абортов в России сохраняются значительные межрегиональные различия. В целом отмечается увеличение уровня абортов с запада на восток и с юга на север. Около 2/3 россиянок репродуктивного возраста проживают в регионах с низким и очень низким уровнем искусственных абортов, тогда как 16% – в регионах с относительно высоким уровнем искусственных абортов, и ожидаемого уменьшения дисперсии за изучаемый период не произошло. Авторы делают вывод, что сравнивать регионы страны по общему числу абортов не имеет большого смысла, поскольку соотношение искусственных и самопроизвольных абортов среди беременностей с абортивным исходом сильно разнится между регионами. Также в статье показано, что происходит перераспределение искусственных абортов в сторону частного сектора здравоохранения, что актуализирует проблему ограниченной доступности медицинской помощи в рамках ОМС. В ряде регионов на негосударственный сектор здравоохранения приходится более половины искусственных абортов. Женщины ищут качественные услуги, отдавая предпочтение более безопасному медикаментозному методу прерывания беременности, который намного чаще практикуется в частных клиниках, чем в государственных.
