Published: May 2024

This research studies the profile of students' critical thinking skills in physics in general, indicators, aptitudes, gender, and analyzes the perspectives of the Project-Oriented Problem-Based Learning (POPBL) model in improving these skills. The method used in this study was descriptive quantitative with a sample of 154 students. Data collection methods using written tests, questionnaires and bibliometric extraction through the Scopus database with 25 received documents. The study showed that students in general have the ability to think critically in physics, since most of them have critical thinking skills according to low criteria. When viewed by indicators, the average score is the highest in the indicator "Evaluating", and the lowest average score is according to the indicator "Synthesis". There are some gifted students who demonstrate higher critical thinking. In addition, the value of women's critical thinking abilities is higher than that of men and there are significant differences. Research on the POPBL model, designed to improve critical thinking skills in the field of learning physics, is very potential, since it is characterized by great novelty and originality.

Authors: Sejdiu Shala Diana , Thaçi Emrush , Shala Anila 
Published: May 2024

This study examines the correlations between academic motivation, learning styles, and academic achievement in higher education. The goal of this study is to prove that there is a correlation between academic motivation, learning styles, and academic success of students. Utilizing Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses, it explores these variables' impact on academic performance. It highlights the importance of educators recognizing the diversity in learning styles and motivational drivers among students. The results reveal a slight negative correlation between learning styles and academic achievement, but no significant correlation between academic motivation and other variables. The study also suggests that while learning styles have a modest impact on academic performance, the role of motivation is more complex and warrants further investigation. These findings suggest a modest influence of learning preferences on educational outcomes and underscore the complex nature of motivation in academic settings. The study advocates for an integrated pedagogical approach that addresses learning diversity and motivational dynamics. The research contributes to the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of tailoring educational strategies to individual learning styles. It emphasizes the need for a holistic approach in addressing student needs in academic environments.

Published: May 2024

With the increasing number of university students with disabilities, university professors play a significant role in teaching and assessment. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale to assess university faculty’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices in relation to providing special education services. A total of 210 faculty members recruited from 15 universities in Taiwan participated in this study. The sample included lecturers (n = 51), assistant professors (n = 75), associate professors (n = 66), and professors (n = 18). The proposed Faculty Perspectives on Special Education Scale (FPSES), a 32-item scale, includes three subscales: Special Education Knowledge (SEK), Attitudes Towards Students (ATS), and Provision of Services (POS). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, item analysis, correlation analysis, t tests, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results showed that FPSES has satisfactory internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach’s ? ranging from .93 to .96 and test-retest reliabilities, with coefficient ranging from .88 to .96. The FPSES also exhibited favorable content validity. Furthermore, the CFA confirmed a good fit between the proposed second-order model and the sample data, thereby ensuring the construct validity. In summary, FPSES is a favorable assessment tool with good psychometric properties, which provides insights into faculty perspectives, attitudes, and practices in the provision of special education services for university students with disabilities. Recommendations are provided for future research and the Office of Disability Services at the university.

Колоректальный рак по своей распространенности занимает одну из лидирующих позиций в структуре онкологических заболеваний, при этом на долю рака прямой кишки приходится более трети всех случаев. Оперативное лечение, включающее этап тотальной мезоректумэктомии, в комбинации с неоадъювантной лучевой терапией является стандартом лечения средне- и нижнеампулярного рака прямой кишки. По данным литературы, до 90 % пациентов, перенесших переднюю резекцию прямой кишки, сообщают о различных проявлениях дисфункции кишечника в послеоперационном периоде, объединенных в синдром низкой передней резекции. Выраженность функциональных расстройств при данном синдроме варьируется по степени тяжести и оценивается по шкале LARS, при этом тяжесть синдрома коррелирует со снижением качества жизни пациентов. Основными этиологическими факторами развития являются нарушение иннервации сфинктера и механическое его повреждение. Лечение синдрома низкой передней резекции принято разделять на 3 линии — от консервативной терапии и терапии биологической обратной связи до стимуляции крестцового нерва, и выведении постоянной колостомы при рефрактерности к лечению в течении двух лет и более.

Цель исследования. Моделировать опухолевое поражение глазницы путем внутриглазничной трансплантации карциномы Эрлиха (КЭ) у мышей и оценить на этой модели активность отечественного соединения 2-[3-(2-хлорэтил)-3-нитрозоуреидо]-1,3-пропандиола (хлонизола) в сравнении с его структурным аналогом ломустином.
Материал и методы. Для моделирования внутриглазничных опухолей у 40 мышей BALB/c использовали клетки стандартного штамма КЭ (1 × 106 клеток в 0,05 мл стерильного 0,9 % раствора натрия хлорида), которые вводили c помощью тонкой иглы трансконъюнктивально в полость правой глазницы над ее нижней стенкой. При отработке метода (на 10 мышах) показано, что опухоль быстро растет, разрушая структуры, и распространяется за пределы глазницы. Другие мыши были разделены на три группы (по 10 животных) с однократным введением: ломустина (50 мг/кг, per os), хлонизола (20 мг/кг, в/б) или растворителя (контроль). Противоопухолевая активность препаратов оценивалась по торможению роста трансплантированной опухоли и выживаемости животных.
Результаты. Оба препарата ингибировали рост опухоли: ломустин — на 59-72 %, а хлонизол — на 95-100 % в сравнении с контролем (р < 0,01-0,0001). Ингибирующая активность хлонизола была статистически значимо выше, чем у ломустина. Медиана продолжительности жизни при лечении ломустином увеличилась в сравнении с контролем на 28 % (р = 0,006), а при лечении хлонизолом — на 212 % (р < 0,0001). При сравнении эффективности препаратов этот показатель был выше после применения хлонизола, чем ломустина на 144 % (р = 0,0005). Половина мышей в группе с хлонизолом прожили без рецидивов свыше 90 дней, что можно рассматривать как излечение.
Заключение. У мышей с трансплатированной в глазницу КЭ противоопухолевая активность соединения 2-[3-(2-хлорэтил)-3-нитрозоуреидо]-1,3-пропандиола (хлонизола) статистически значимо выше, чем у его структурного аналога — препарата ломустина.
Comparación de Juicio Político en Argentina y Ecuador: Procedimientos y Estabilidad Institucional
Authors: Sarmiento Llamuca Oscar Javier , Gonzalo Villalva David 
Published: May 2024

En Argentina y Ecuador, la organización estatal se fundamenta en la división de poderes, asegurando autonomía entre el Ejecutivo, Legislativo y Judicial para garantizar estabilidad. La participación ciudadana es crucial como mecanismo de influencia y supervisión de la gestión pública. En ambas naciones, el juicio político puede dirigirse a altos funcionarios, como presidente, vicepresidente, ministros. En el caso específico de Argentina, los jueces también pueden ser sometidos a juicio político. El proceso inicia con una solicitud respaldada por al menos una cuarta parte de la Asamblea Nacional, enfocándose en violaciones a la Constitución y leyes federales en Argentina, y señalando violaciones a la Constitución Ecuatoriana como delitos contra la seguridad del Estado, concusión, cohecho, peculado, enriquecimiento ilícito, delitos de genocidio, tortura, desaparición forzada de personas, secuestro u homicidio por razones políticas o de conciencia. La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar y comparar los procedimientos de juicio político en ambos países, identificando similitudes y diferencias. Buscamos evaluar el impacto en la estabilidad institucional, examinando su influencia en las relaciones entre los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo, así como en la confianza ciudadana en las instituciones políticas. Finalmente concluimos, que Ecuador y Argentina reconocen la participación ciudadana fundamental para la democracia. Ecuador destaca el papel activo de los ciudadanos a través del Consejo de Participación Ciudadana y Control Social, mientras que Argentina enfatiza la participación como derecho humano clave, contribuyendo a la apertura gubernamental. Respecto al juicio político, ambos reconocen su importancia como mecanismo de control, aunque con procesos distintos. Convergen en la necesidad de garantizar transparencia, rendición de cuentas y preservación de la integridad institucional en el ejercicio del poder político, reflejando una compleja interacción entre los poderes públicos y la ciudadanía.

Abstract
The interaction of β-particles with the weakly ionized plasma background is an important mechanism for powering the kilonova (KN) transient signal from neutron star mergers. For this purpose, we present an implementation of the approximate fast-particle collision kernel, described by Inokuti following the seminal formulation of Bethe, in a spectral solver of the Vlasov–Maxwell–Boltzmann equation. In particular, we expand the fast-particle plane-wave atomic excitation kernel into coefficients of the Hermite basis, and derive the relevant discrete spectral system. In this fast-particle limit, the approach permits the direct use of atomic data, including optical oscillator strengths, normally applied to photon–matter interaction. The resulting spectral matrix is implemented in the MASS-APP spectral solver framework, in a way that avoids full matrix storage per spatial zone. We numerically verify aspects of the matrix construction, and present a proof-of-principle 3D simulation of a 2D axisymmetric KN ejecta snapshot. Our preliminary numerical results indicate that a reasonable choice of Hermite basis parameters for β-particles in the KN is a bulk velocity parameter
u
= 0, a thermal velocity parameter
α
= 0.5c, and a 9 × 9 × 9 mode velocity basis set (Hermite orders of 0–8 in each dimension). For interior-ejecta sample zones, we estimate that the ratio of thermalization from large-angle (≳2.°5) bound excitation scattering to total thermalization is ∼0.002–0.003.
Overmassive Black Holes at Cosmic Noon: Linking the Local and the High-redshift Universe
Authors: Mezcua Mar , Pacucci Fabio , Suh Hyewon , Siudek Malgorzata , Natarajan Priyamvada 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
We report for the first time a sample of 12 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) hosted by low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon, i.e., in a redshift range consistent with the peak of star formation history: z ∼ 1–3. These black holes are 2 orders of magnitude too massive for the stellar content of their hosts when compared with the local relation for active galaxies. These overmassive systems at cosmic noon share similar properties with the high-z sources found ubiquitously in recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys (same range of black-hole-to-stellar-mass ratio, bolometric luminosity, and Eddington ratio). We argue that black hole feedback processes, for which there is possible evidence in five of the sources, and the differing environments in galactic nuclei at these respective epochs play a key role in these overmassive systems. These findings contribute to our understanding of the growth and coevolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies across cosmic time, offering a link between the early Universe (z > 4) observed by JWST and observations of the present-day Universe (z ≲ 1).

Les politiques de sanction : poison ou remède face au déclin de la puissance américaine ?
Authors: Delagenière Boris 
Published: May 2024

Au XX e siècle, les politiques de sanctions économiques sont devenues une arme privilégiée des grandes puissances. En particulier, les États-Unis n’ont cessé d’« arsenaliser » leur force de frappe monétaire et financière pour soumettre leurs compétiteurs, sans avoir à les combattre. La question se pose de savoir si, après avoir été un instrument de puissance pour l’Amérique, les politiques de sanctions ne seraient pas, paradoxalement, en train de devenir l’un des facteurs de son déclin. Le développement de dispositifs anti-sanctions dans les pays du « Sud global », ainsi que l’émergence d’une « alliance tacite » entre Pékin, Moscou voire Téhéran à la faveur de la guerre en Ukraine, apparaissent aujourd’hui comme les principaux effets pervers de l’accoutumance américaine aux politiques de sanctions.
Embedding Recovery Principles in Staff Orientation: A New Way of Delivering Multidisciplinary Mental Health Orientation
Authors: Payne Leanne , Rologas Kerry , Waters Lillian 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Recovery-focused mental health treatment continues to grow, yet staff are often uncertain how best to define and implement it. As a quality assurance activity, we examined the effect of a novel orientation program embedded with a recovery framework structure, philosophy, and content, together with true lived experience codesign, on knowledge of recovery principles and acceptability.

Method
Staff of a new sub-acute adolescent mental health inpatient center completed a 6-week orientation in early 2020. Recovery processes of connectedness, hope and optimism, identity, meaning, and empowerment were mapped to session topics and the structure, design, and philosophy of the program.

Results
Mean knowledge scores improved from pre- to post-assessment and most (≥70%) participants reported topics as relevant, impactful, and would recommend. Approximately all (95%) comments were positive.

Conclusion

Findings suggest that person-centered orientations that embed a recovery framework are promising for mental health staff orientation. [

The Imperative of Cognitive Diversity in Athletic Training Education: A Leadership Literacy
Authors: Kutz Matthew R. , Bates Trevor M. 
Published: May 2024

Context
The increasing stakeholder diversity in athletic training requires a shift in leadership approaches and necessitates highlighting the need for embracing cognitive diversity.

Objective
Explore the concept of cognitive diversity and its potential to positively impact patient care and interprofessional practice.

Background
Cognitive diversity encompasses variations in unobservable attributes such as attitudes, values, and beliefs, including differences in problem-solving and thinking strategies. It goes beyond traditional diversity initiatives that focus on observable traits. Embracing cognitive diversity can enhance the effectiveness of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access initiatives in athletic training, ultimately improving patient care.

Synthesis
Cognitive diversity serves as a prerequisite to effective diversity, equity, inclusion, and access initiatives. It offers advantages such as enhanced problem-solving, genuine inclusivity, increased access, and improved communication and collaboration. It fosters a culture of continuous learning, cultural sensitivity, and personalized care. Recognizing the nuances of cognitive diversity is crucial for effective interprofessional practice and empathetic patient care.

Results
This article delineates the necessity of cognitive diversity, highlighting the critical component of recognizing unobservable differences between individuals. Cognitive diversity benefits athletic trainers and advances the profession of athletic training through fostering genuine respect, collaboration, and teamwork.

Recommendation(s)
Cognitive diversity should be integrated into athletic training education as a prerequisite for clinical practice. Teaching only limited aspects of diversity—those that include observable differences between individuals—may reinforce avoidable biases. Faculty should include and develop curricula that introduce cognitive diversity early in professional preparation.

Conclusions
The increasing complexity of athletic training demands an evolution in leadership literacy that focuses on embracing cognitive diversity. Athletic trainers can apply the benefits of cognitive diversity through compassionate leadership, interprofessional activities, and an understanding of its interplay with cultural diversity. Educators should adapt curricula and continuing education to include cognitive diversity models.

Authors: Fattah Maaly Abdel , AlKhabaz Anas , Issa Ibrahim , Alhemsi Hadeel , AlSaad Kassem , AlMidani Eyad , Khan Faisal 
Published: May 2024

Aim
Our study aimed to determine the frequency of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a cohort of premature infants screened for ROP, to confirm the efficacy of our screening program used in the NICU to avoid childhood blindness. In addition, we aimed to study the associated risk factors affecting ocular status including birth weight (BW), gestational age (GA), mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and number of ROP follow-up.

Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from March 2016 to March 2021. Data were retrieved from the records of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The included data:
Comprised perinatal data such as sex, BW, GA, multifetal gestation, and delivery type.
Neonatal course: Need for surfactant, oxygen therapy, and mechanical ventilation (MV) duration.
Neonatal complications: Chronic lung diseases [(respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)], sepsis, neonatal jaundice, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), hydrocephalus, and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
ROP examination: stage, zone, plus disease, extent, treatment, and number of the follow-up.

Results
In all, 337 preterm infants met the screening criteria and were included in the study. The majority (52%, n=177) were male; 148 (43.9%) were products of multifetal gestation, the mean GA was 29.35±2.77, and the median BW was 1195.1±338 gm. Caesarean section was the main mode of delivery in 80.5% of our sample (269 babies). ROP was detected in 181 (53.7%) infants, of which 110 (32.6%) had Stage 1, 57 (17%) Stage 2, and 14 (4.15%) had Stage 3. The majority (89.4%) were involved in zone 2–3, and five patients had the plus disease (1.48%). The number of ROP follow-up ranged between 2 and 25 visits either in the NICU or in the eye clinic following their discharge with a mean of 2.347.

Conclusion
The incidence of ROP in our sample was high relative to other local studies, which was related to the relatively high number of multifetal gestations with high chance of low birth weight as our center is an expert facility in in vitro fertilization. Male patient had a high incidence of development of different stages of ROP.
Preterm babies with complicated neonatal course like NEC, Chronic Lung Disease, and IVH had high incidence of development of ROP.
