Virtual und Augmented Reality im Geschichtsunterricht mit Schüler*innen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf
Authors: Rein Franziska 
Published: November 2023

Inklusion und Digitalisierung gelten als große gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse, deren Relevanz auf der Hand liegt – so auch für historisches Lernen und Lehren. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte beide Themenkomplexe aus einer geschichtsdidaktischen Perspektive aufei­nander beziehen und erschließt daher Chancen sowie Herausforderungen von virtuellen Technologien für den Geschichtsunterricht aus einer sonderpädagogischen Perspektive. Gezielt werden dafür Virtual und Augmented Reality auf Lernmöglichkeiten und -begrenzungen für Schüler*innen mit Anspruch auf sonderpädagogische Förderung untersucht. Dafür wird zunächst dargestellt, was unter Virtual und Augmented Reality zu verstehen ist, um diese Technologien anschließend für Lern- und Lehrprozesse zu erörtern. Weiter wird ergründet, was Virtual und Augmented Reality spezifisch für historische Lern- und Lehrprozesse bedeutet, um schlussendlich zu überlegen, welche Ressourcen und Barrieren sich aus einer sonderpäda­gogischen Perspektive für den Geschichtsunterricht vermuten lassen. Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert sich nicht auf einen einzigen sonderpädagogischen Förderschwerpunkt, sondern untersucht die Technologien überblicksartig anhand verschiedener Förderbedarfe.

Abstract
Inclusion and digitalisation are considered major social transformation processes whose relevance is obvious – and this also applies to historical learning and teaching processes. This article aims to relate both topics to each other and therefore explores the opportunities and challenges of virtual technologies for history teaching from a special education perspective. For this purpose, virtual and augmented reality are questioned with regard to learning opportunities and limitations for pupils. First of all, it is explained what is meant by virtual and augmented reality in order to then discuss these technologies for general learning and teaching processes. Furthermore, it is explored what virtual and augmented reality mean for historical learning and teaching processes in order to finally consider which resources and barriers can be assumed for history teaching from a special education perspective. This article does not focus on a specific special educational need but examines the technologies in a generalized way based on various special needs.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence, underlying resistance mechanism, and virulence involved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 35) isolated from freshwater fishes in Andhra Pradesh, India. Antibiogram studies revealed that 68.5, 62.8, 37.1, 11.4, 8.5, 57.1, 54.2, and 48.5% of isolates had resistance to oxytetracycline, co-trimoxazole, doxycycline, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and ampicillin, respectively. The resistant isolates harboured the tetA (85.7%), tetD (71.4%), tetM (91.4%), sul1 (80%), blaCTX-M (57.1%), blaTEM (42.8%), and blaSHV (48.5%) genes. In total, 50% of the isolates were altered as multi-drug resistant, and the multiple antibiotic resistance index was calculated as 0.4. Furthermore, 37.3, 48.5, and 14.2% of isolates were categorized as strong, moderate, and weak biofilm formers, possessing pslA (91.5%) and pslD (88.6%) biofilm encoding genes. In total, 82.8% of the isolates exhibited efflux pump activity and harboured the mexA (74.2%), mexB (77.1%), and oprM (37.1%) genes. Virulent genes oprL, toxA, exoS, and phzM were detected in 68.5, 68.5, 100, and 17.1% of isolates, respectively. The data suggested that P. aeruginosa harbours multiple resistance mechanisms and virulence factors that may contribute to antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity, and their distribution in fish culture facilities highlights the public health hazards of the food chain.
Enhancing stormwater treatment through ultrafiltration: Impact of cleaning chemicals and backwash duration on membrane efficiency
Authors: Kaykhaii Saida , Herrmann Inga , Hedström Annelie , Nordqvist Kerstin , Heidfors Ingemar , Viklander Maria 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The effect of chemical cleaning and regular backwashing on the efficiency of an ultrafiltration membrane fouled during stormwater treatment was studied. Increasing backwash time from 30 to 60 s resulted in an increase in productivity by 20%. However, the productivity was highest when a backwash time of 45 s was used (3% higher than using 60 s). Chemical cleaning was carried out using an alkaline solution (NaOH with or without NaOCl) followed by acid washing with HCl. The addition of NaOCl to the cleaning chemical did not significantly increase the efficiency of chemical cleaning, and the average pure water permeability increase was 97 ± 13 LMH bar−1 after chemical cleaning with NaOH followed by HCl and 117 ± 15 LMH bar−1 after chemical cleaning with NaOH + NaOCl followed by HCl, on average. In addition, reversibility after chemical cleaning was 96 ± 67%, on average. The result from scanning electron microscopy showed that at the end of the experiments, inorganic foulants existed in both the inner layer (feed side) and the outer layer (permeate side) of the membrane.
The utilization of microwaves in revitalizing peroxymonosulfate for tetracycline decomposition: optimization via response surface methodology

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Antibiotic contamination in water has received significant attention in recent years for the reason that the residuals of antibiotics can promote the progression of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). It is difficult to treat antibiotics using conventional biological treatment methods. In order to investigate an efficient new method of treating antibiotics in water, in this study, microwave (MW) was employed in revitalizing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to treat typical antibiotic tetracycline (TC). The Box–Behnken design (BBD) was applied to organize the experimental schemes. The response surface methodology (RSM) optimization was run to derive the best experimental conditions and validated using actual data. Moreover, the main mechanisms of PMS activation via MW were resolved. The results demonstrated that the relationship between TC removal rate and influencing factors was consistent with a quadratic model, where the P-value was less than 0.05, and the model was considered significant. The optimal condition resulting from the model optimization were power = 800 W, [PMS] = 0.4 mM, and pH = 6.0. Under such conditions, the actual removal of TC was 99.3%, very close to the predicted value of 99%. The quenching experiment confirmed that SO4•− and •OH were jointly responsible for TC removal.
Attributes That Influence Human Decision-Making in Complex Health Services: Scoping Review
Authors: Doreswamy Nandini , Horstmanshof Louise 
Published: November 2023

Background
Humans currently dominate decision-making in both clinical health services and complex health services such as health policy and health regulation. Many assumptions inherent in health service models today are underpinned by Ramsey’s Expected Utility Theory, a prominent theory in the field of economics that is rooted in rationality. Rational, evidence-based metrics currently dominate the culture of decision-making in health policy and regulation. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, rational metrics alone may not suffice in making better policy and regulatory decisions. There are ethical and moral considerations and other complex factors that cannot be reduced to evidence-based rationality alone. Therefore, this scoping review was undertaken to identify and map the attributes that influence human decision-making in complex health services.

Objective
The objective is to identify and map the attributes that influence human decision-making in complex health services that have been reported in the peer-reviewed literature.

Methods
This scoping review was designed to answer the following research question: what attributes have been reported in the literature that influence human decision-making in complex health services? A clear, reproducible methodology is provided. It is reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) standards and a recognized framework. As the topic of interest merited broad review to scope and understand literature from a holistic viewpoint, a scoping review of literature was appropriate here. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed, and a database search undertaken within 4 search systems—ProQuest, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Results
The results span 46 years, from 1976 to 2022. A total of 167 papers were identified. After removing duplicates, 81 papers remained. Of these, 77 papers were excluded based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The remaining 4 papers were found to be relevant. Citation tracking was undertaken, identifying 4 more relevant papers. Thus, a total of 8 papers were included. These papers were reviewed in detail to identify the human attributes mentioned and count the frequency of mentions. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the themes.

Conclusions
The results highlight key themes that underline the complex and nuanced nature of human decision-making. The results suggest that rationality is entrenched and may influence the lexicon of our thinking about decision-making. The results also highlight the counter narrative of decision-making underpinned by uniquely human attributes. This may have ramifications for decision-making in complex health services today. The review itself takes a rational approach, and the methods used were suited to this.

Evaluation of the Performance of Generative AI Large Language Models ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Bing Chat in Supporting Evidence-Based Dentistry: Comparative Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Giannakopoulos Kostis , Kavadella Argyro , Aaqel Salim Anas , Stamatopoulos Vassilis , Kaklamanos Eleftherios G 
Published: November 2023

Background
The increasing application of generative artificial intelligence large language models (LLMs) in various fields, including dentistry, raises questions about their accuracy.

Objective
This study aims to comparatively evaluate the answers provided by 4 LLMs, namely Bard (Google LLC), ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 (OpenAI), and Bing Chat (Microsoft Corp), to clinically relevant questions from the field of dentistry.

Methods
The LLMs were queried with 20 open-type, clinical dentistry–related questions from different disciplines, developed by the respective faculty of the School of Dentistry, European University Cyprus. The LLMs’ answers were graded 0 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) points against strong, traditionally collected scientific evidence, such as guidelines and consensus statements, using a rubric, as if they were examination questions posed to students, by 2 experienced faculty members. The scores were statistically compared to identify the best-performing model using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. Moreover, the evaluators were asked to provide a qualitative evaluation of the comprehensiveness, scientific accuracy, clarity, and relevance of the LLMs’ answers.

Results
Overall, no statistically significant difference was detected between the scores given by the 2 evaluators; therefore, an average score was computed for every LLM. Although ChatGPT-4 statistically outperformed ChatGPT-3.5 (P=.008), Bing Chat (P=.049), and Bard (P=.045), all models occasionally exhibited inaccuracies, generality, outdated content, and a lack of source references. The evaluators noted instances where the LLMs delivered irrelevant information, vague answers, or information that was not fully accurate.

Conclusions
This study demonstrates that although LLMs hold promising potential as an aid in the implementation of evidence-based dentistry, their current limitations can lead to potentially harmful health care decisions if not used judiciously. Therefore, these tools should not replace the dentist’s critical thinking and in-depth understanding of the subject matter. Further research, clinical validation, and model improvements are necessary for these tools to be fully integrated into dental practice. Dental practitioners must be aware of the limitations of LLMs, as their imprudent use could potentially impact patient care. Regulatory measures should be established to oversee the use of these evolving technologies.
Assessing the Impact of a Serious Game (MedSMARxT: Adventures in PharmaCity) in Improving Opioid Safety Awareness Among Adolescents and Parents: Quantitative Study
Authors: Abraham Olufunmilola , McCarthy Tyler James , Zaborek Jen 
Published: November 2023

Background
The opioid crisis continues to worsen across the United States, affecting people of all demographics. Few evidence-based interventions exist for educating families, particularly those with adolescents, about opioid prescription safety. Serious games have demonstrated impacts in improving medication-related outcomes for various health conditions. The characterizing goal of this serious game is to improve opioid safety knowledge and awareness among adolescents and their families.

Objective
This study evaluated the impact of a serious game, MedSMARxT: Adventures in PharmaCity, designed to foster opioid safety awareness among adolescents and their parents.

Methods
A national sample of parents and their adolescent children was recruited through Qualtrics research panels, social media, listservs, and snowball sampling. Eligible participants were adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years and their parents. Study participants were required to reside in the United States; speak, read, and understand English; and have access to a computer with a webcam. Parent-child dyads completed pregame and postgame surveys and participated in gameplay for up to 30 minutes. Primary outcome scales have been previously evaluated by the study team.

Results
A total of 60 adolescent participants and 68 parent participants met full attention criteria for inclusion in this study. Statistical analysis confirmed that both adolescents’ and parents’ concept scores improved from baseline regarding opioid safety self-efficacy (adolescent: mean 0.35, SD 0.60; P<.001; parent: mean 0.28, SD 0.42; P<.001), perceived knowledge (adolescent: mean 1.08, SD 1.04; P<.001; parent: mean 0.56, SD 0.55; P<.001), behavioral intent (adolescent: mean 0.26, SD 0.39; P<.001; parent: mean 0.25, SD 0.32; P<.001), safe storage (adolescent: mean 0.12, SD 0.27; P<.001; parent: mean 0.03, SD 0.11; P=.03), disposal knowledge (adolescent: mean 0.10, SD 0.27; P=.006; parent: mean 0.07, SD 0.16; P<.001), and knowledge about misuse behavior (adolescent: mean 0.05, SD 0.14; P=.002; parent: mean 0.04, SD 0.10; P<.001). Participant groups, stratified by who completed and who did not complete gameplay, improved their knowledge and awareness, with no significant differences between subgroups.

Conclusions
The use of this serious game to improve opioid prescription safety practices among parents and adolescents was supported by the study findings. MedSMARxT: Adventures in PharmaCity is an intervention with the capability of teaching parents and adolescents about safe opioid prescription practices. Further studies and game refinement are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of a game-based intervention in clinical settings and community pharmacies.
Fanfiction as a New Social Media, or For What Reason the Youth Write and Read Non-Professional Literature
Authors: Kashina M. A. , Pedchenko A. A. 
Published: November 2023

Fanfiction is the literary work of fans who use the plots lines and characters from their favorite work — “canon”. It arose with the advent of the Internet, because the Internet is the place where such works can be published and discussed. Assessments of this phenomenon are very ambiguous: from low-grade graphomania to a school of literary excellence. In any case, fan fiction is an important element of popular / convergent culture, including Russian, which has a noticeable socializing influence on its participants. The purpose of the study is to describe the specifics of fanfiction as a new social media in modern Russian speaking community. Objectives: 1) Characterize the readership of Russian-language fanfiction; 2) Determine the motivation of fan fiction readers; 3) Describe the nature of reader preferences; 4) Highlight the functions of fanfiction as social media and their implementation by Russian readers. Theoretical framework: G. Jenkins’ theory of convergent culture and M. McLuhan’s broad approach to understanding media. Empirical base — online survey of 1007 respondents, secondary analysis of fanfiction research data. Results. The main readers of fan fiction are young middle-class women living in cities and big cities; they study or work in the field of education, science, art and IT. The functions that fanfiction performs correlate with the functions of social media: first of all, entertainment, recreation and leisure, secondly, new emotions and new impressions. Combined with the opportunity to communicate with like-minded people, share your opinion or publish your own texts, fanfiction becomes a space in which each individual user plays important role in the concrete fanfic’s history. It reveals Fanfiction’s convergent nature. Directions for further research: studying the influence of stereotypical ideas about fanfiction on its development, analyzing the reasons for the ambivalent attitude of readers and authors of fan fiction towards cruelty, finding out the reasons for the gender homogeneous composition of the online fanfiction community.
Forecasting the Directions of the State Policy of the Region on the Basis of Cluster Analysis of Indicators of Socio-Economic Development of Its Municipalities
Authors: Borodin S. N. 
Published: November 2023

Assessment of the prospects for the development of the region is an important task for both economic science and public authorities. The purpose of this article is to develop an algorithm for assessing the prospects for the development of the region, which would allow identifying the most problematic areas and competitive advantages of territorial development in order to determine the most important areas of budget expenditures in the context of municipalities in the region. The research uses the concept of sustainable development and the theory of clusters as a methodological basis. Cluster analysis by the Ward method and k-means were used as research methods. As a forecasting method, the most effective among the methods was used: least squares, exponential smoothing, moving average for 3 and 5 years. Separately, the demographic forecast for each municipality separately was used to predict the population. As a result of the conducted research, groups of municipalities of the region differentiated by the level of development have been identified, for which the main problem areas have been formulated, the leveling of which should be addressed by the state policy of the region. The advantage of the proposed approach is that it identifies and predicts the problems of socio-economic development of the region, which may be hidden in the medium-term forecast of the socio-economic region. In this research, such problems were identified in many municipalities of the Leningrad region in the field of housing construction, demography and economics. The article may be useful to public authorities when forming a strategy for socio-economic development.
Assessing Interregional Differentiation in China
Authors: Yai Liu , Vertakova Yu. V. 
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the problems of differentiation in the development of regions. Interregional disproportions in development can be traced in many countries, including China and Russia. The topic of assessing inter-regional differentiation and improving the territorial regional policy is relevant. The authors postulate the idea that in order to reduce inter-regionaldifferentiation, targeted measures of state economic policy should be applied, in particular, this should be included in regional strategic documents. The purpose of the study is to assess inter-regional differentiation in China based on comparative analysis and the index method (calculation of the Theil index, standard deviation, coefficient of variation). Research methods: analysis and synthesis, comparative and economic-statistical analysis. The object of the study is macroeconomic indicators (GRP, GRP per capita, disposable income per capita) in the context of the provinces of the PRC for the period from 2001 to 2020. The article analyzes the dynamics of the level of differentiation of China’s regional development and identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the implemented regional policies to reduce the asymmetry of regions. Particular attention is paid to the fragmentation and lack of coordination of existing regional policies in China. The necessity of transforming the current regional policy and building a new unified regional policy is revealed.
DIGITAL SOCIETY AND PANDEMICS: AN OVERVIEW
Authors: Modili Cyril 
Published: November 2023

Life becomes a new normal during pandemics for everyone. Life becomes increasingly digital as we incorporate them into every aspect of our lives, most notably shopping and education. During this period, technology and pandemic are a natural match. When pandemics strike, information and communication technology add value to society. The term "digital society" refers to a society that makes use of digital technologies on a regular basis (Che Noh et.al., 2017; Hintz, et.al., 2017; Katzenbach and Bachle, 2019). The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of how the digital society functions daily, particularly during pandemics. Additionally, this review article discusses the concepts and characteristics of a digital society, including the usage of digital technology tools, the evolution of tools and digital technology utilised prior to and during pandemics, and the changes in lifestyles in a digital society.
