The Effectiveness of the E-Library as a Learning Resource for Elementary School Students' Social Studies in Improving Literacy Skills
Authors: Marsini Marsini 
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study is to describe the effectiveness of an e-library as a social study (hereafter, IPS) learning resource for elementary school students in improving their literacy skills. When developing learning materials for social studies, Social Studies (IPS) teachers in elementary schools should have a clear goal and direction, including the use of e-library resources that can enhance students' literacy skills. A descriptive qualitative research approach was utilised to examine the efficacy of the e-library as a learning resource for primary school pupils in the field of social sciences, with a specific focus on enhancing their reading abilities. Data was collected through a literature review and document analysis on social studies learning in elementary schools, literacy skills, and e-libraries. In this investigation, up to 40 research articles were used. The findings indicated that the e-library was effective in helping primary school students study social subjects and develop their literacy skills. In order to optimize the potential of the library, the government or schools should: 1) provide relevant learning resources; 2) establish a 24-hour accessible system; 3) employ a creative librarian; and 4) utilize information technology to target students. This will enable students to access and acquire learning content easily. Additionally, the library should create a space for students to express their ideas freely and channel creativity, making library activities more lively and enjoyable.

Authors: Bilokon Oleksandr , Denkov Ivan 
Published: October 2023

<p>The problem of computing machine passing the maze is one of theoretical computer science key tasks. This task was partially considered by the classics of computer science, e.g. A. Turing, C. Shannon, L. Budach and Z. Pawlak. Labyrinth problem solving includes fundamental knowledges in the main three branches, namely environment (labyrinth) knowledge, computing machines features knowledge and behavior of computing machines in labyrinth knowledge. These three components are built on the fundamental basis of the theoretical computer science. Nowadays the labyrinth passing task is complemented by intellectuality as an additional criterion. That is, computing machines must acquire intelligent functions, and this task gets a new component and a new statement, which is briefly formulated as the search for a way out of the labyrinth by intelligent computing machines. The main concept of this article is to develop artificial neural networks based intelligent functions for calculating machine to pass the maze. Besides this visual aspect is emphasized, i.e. the computational machine includes a maze viewing function. Authors accentuate fundamental principles of artificial neural networks technologies building and engage backpropagation algorithm, which is used in a artificial neural network learning process. The article discusses maze, dataset construction, artificial neural network training, maze recognition computational experiment and analysis of the hyperparameters effect on artificial neural network training.</p>
<p>The aim of the article is to build mathematical model based on backpropagation algorithm and to identify how hyperparameters affect the learning process of artificial neural networks. Thus the research is based on the methods of computational experiment and step-by-step detailing to implement the algorithm. The results of the research include theoretical basis of computing machines intellectualization for the maze and computing machine ability to recognize the maze. These results may be useful to theorists for a detailed description of the process and to practitioners for ability to test this algorithm and approach while solving a problem of maze passing by intelligent agents.</p>

Authors: Castillo López de Linares Nancy Carolina 
Published: October 2023

PROBLEMA: ¿De qué forma la investigación puede potenciar la vida y favorecer el biodesarrollo, la biopolítica y la bioética global? PROPÓSITO: Mostrar el vínculo que une la investigación que promueve la vida con el biodesarrollo, la biopolítica y la bioética global. MÉTODO: Se utilizó el método deductivo a través de la síntesis, para la construcción de reflexiones profundas que no fragmenten los conocimientos. El camino se recorrió haciendo uso de la hermenéutica, realizando lecturas y diálogos con autores que han hecho grandes contribuciones desde la perspectiva de la complejidad. RESULTADOS: Se sintetiza la importancia del pensamiento crítico e independiente para la investigación, a fin que cumpla su papel promotor de vida, y no responda a intereses creados que de ninguna forma favorecen el bien común y sobre todo no consideran las restricciones de los ecosistemas. Aunado a lo anterior se hace evidente que, aunque no todos los problemas de la vida son complejos, los más grandes y preocupantes de la sociedad si lo son, y éstos requieren un estudio diferente, que no se centra únicamente en los datos fríos y duros, sino también considera el contexto, las peculiaridades y a las minorías estadísticamente excluidas. REFLEXIÓN INCONCLUSA: La promoción de la investigación liberadora que permita pensar, que inserte al investigador en su estudio es la que se necesita para generar soluciones creativas e innovadoras a los problemas complejos de toda la vida.

Amaç: Bu araştırma, öğrenci hemşirelerin psikiyatri hemşireliği uygulaması kapsamında genel kliniklerde bakım verdikleri hastalara ilişkin belirledikleri hemşirelik tanılarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Retrospektif tanımlayıcı tipte gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmanın evrenini bir devlet üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik bölümü 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim döneminde, psikiyatri hemşireliği uygulaması dersini alan 75 öğrenci, örneklemi ise uygulama sonunda bakım planı dosyası teslim eden 72 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, öğrencilerin uygulama dersi sonunda teslim ettikleri bakım planları incelenerek toplanmıştır. Hemşirelik tanıları, Gordon’un Fonksiyonel Sağlık Örüntülerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada Gordon’un Fonksiyonel Sağlık Örüntüleri ’ne göre “2015-2017 Kuzey Amerika Hemşirelik Tanıları Birliği (NANDA) hemşirelik tanıları incelendiğinde, 11 örüntüde 49 farklı olmak üzere toplam 495 hemşirelik tanısı saptanmıştır. Gordon’un Fonksiyonel Sağlık Örüntülerine göre, öğrencilerin %20.4’ü “beslenme-metabolik durum”, %19.6’si “kendini algılama” ve %13.7’si “bilişsel algılama” alanlarında tanı belirlemiştir. Öğrencilerin “inanç ve değerler” alanında hiç tanı belirlemediği saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin, belirledikleri en yaygın NANDA hemşirelik tanılarının, enfeksiyon riski (%10.3), uyku örüntüsünde bozulma (%8.7), akut ağrı (%8.7), anksiyete (%8.5), düşme riski (%7.7) olduğu saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin sıklıkla belirledikleri tanıların bakım verdikleri bireyin fizyolojik alanına ilişkin olduğu, bütüncül hemşirelik bakımı sağlayacak yeterlikte tanı belirleyemedikleri saptanmıştır. Psikiyatri hemşireliği uygulaması kapsamında konsültasyon ve liyezon psikiyatrisi uygulaması yapan öğrencilerin hastaları bütüncül değerlendirebilmeleri açısında vaka çalışmalarının arttırılmasının faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Opinion on open-science practices and the importance of scientists&rsquo; information literacy skills in context of open science at the university of Rijeka, Croatia &ndash; a cross-sectional study
Authors: Golenko Dejana , Arh Evgenia , Bazdaric Ksenija 
Published: October 2023

Background: Although opinions of scientists about open access and the importance of their skills in information literacy have been investigated earlier but not, to our knowledge, of those in Croatia.
Objective: The objective was to analyse the opinions on open access and on open-science practices before implementing open-science policies.
Methods: Scientists at the University of Rijeka (N = 1256) were invited to complete, anonymously, an online questionnaire on open science (Google Forms) in 2020 and their responses were analysed.
Results: Altogether 192 participants (a response rate 15%) were involved in this study, of which 110 (57%) were women. The mean age of the participants was 42 years (stand-ard deviation 11). The participants pursued careers in biomedical (37%), social (31%), or technical (14%) sciences; 20% were early-career researchers or postdoctoral research-ers, and 80% held the rank of assistant professor or higher. Most of them (88%) agreed that journals should be open access and 77% said they would choose the open-access journal if they had to choose between two journals with similar impact factors. Most (83%) considered publishing fees (article processing charges) to be too high; fewer than half (45%) considered the impact factor to be more important than open access; and 28% believed open access journals to be of lower quality. Nearly three-fourths (74%) had published at least one article in an open access journal, and 45%, without paying any fee. Only a few (10.9%) archived their articles in institutional or national repositories; more than a quarter (27%), on their web pages; and close to half (43%), on their social networks. To obtain papers not available to read online, more than half (56%) used Sci-Hub; slightly more than half (51%) wrote to the authors; 40% asked col-leagues for help; and 35% approached a librarian.
Conclusions: Most of the scientists in our study were in favour of open access but con-sidered the publication fees to be too high. Their archiving was inadequate: few used any institutional or national repositories. Therefore, the scientists need to be more information literate and require guidance and help from librarians and will benefit from training in information literacy including the principles of open access.
Fibroxantoma atípico y sarcoma pleomórfico dérmico: distintos grados de malignidad de una misma entidad
Authors: Romero Estefanía , Minaudo Carla , Vigovich Félix 
Published: October 2023

La relación entre el fibroxantoma atípico (FXA) y el sarcoma pleomórfico dérmico (SPD) sigue en discusión hasta nuestros días. Son tumores de la piel que se presentan en pacientes añosos, con pieles con importante fotodaño, más comunes en cabeza y cuello. Su histopatología muestra distintas proporciones de células epiteloides, fusiformes y gigantes multinucleadas con núcleos pleomórficos. El diagnóstico es de exclusión mediante un amplio panel de inmunohistoquímica. El FXA es un tumor de bordes bien definidos, no infiltra tejidos profundos, no invade tejido linfovascular o perineural, y hay ausencia de necrosis tumoral, lo que lo distingue del SPD.
En pocas palabras, ambos tumores comparten características clínicas, epidemiológicas y tienen alto grado de superposición histopatológica e inmunohistoquímica. Esto es lo que ha fomentado la clasificación del FXA y el SPD como una misma entidad con distintos grados de malignidad, realidad aceptada en las publicaciones científicas más actuales.
El objetivo de este trabajo es comentar las últimas actualizaciones que se presentaron en la literatura para definir a ambos tumores.
Actualización bibliográfica. ELECTROQUIMIOTERAPIA COMO TRATAMIENTO DE LOS TUMORES CUTÁNEOS
Authors: Cilio Antonella María 
Published: October 2023

El cáncer de piel ha sido un motivo de consulta cada vez mayor en los últimos años. El tratamiento de primera línea es la resección quirúrgica con márgenes adecuados.
La electroquimioterapia (ECT) es un tratamiento alternativo para los pacientes con comorbilidades o localizaciones tumorales especiales que no son candidatos al tratamiento quirúrgico. Esta terapéutica se basa en la combinación de electroporación y quimioterapia intravenosa (la más usada es la bleomicina). La electroporación consiste en la aplicación de pulsos eléctricos reversibles de alto voltaje en los tejidos, que permite la formación de poros y, de esta manera, la entrada en la célula de la bleomicina circulante en la sangre. Una vez que el fármaco está en la célula, provoca la escisión de las cadenas de ácido desoxirribonucleico, lo que lleva a la muerte celular cuando la célula entra en la fase de mitosis. Así, la ECT tiene selectividad sobre las células con alta tasa de replicación y respeta el tejido sano. Como la bleomicina es una molécula hidrófila, no penetra en las células que no han pasado por el proceso de electroporación, lo que permite obtener resultados cosméticos favorables.
Los efectos beneficiosos de la ECT se evalúan 30 a 45 días después del tratamiento y puede repetirse otra sesión si es necesario.
The Boon and Bane of Covert Advertising
Authors: Dan Viorela , Mahlmeister Sara 
Published: October 2023

When pharmaceutical companies operate disease-awareness websites, they are required to give complete and accurate information to consumers, but at the same time, they are seeking to increase revenue. In most countries, direct-to-consumer advertising for prescription drugs (DTCA) is prohibited; thus, such websites are among the few means by which pharmaceutical companies can communicate directly with consumers. Yet, our understanding of consumers’ perceptions of such websites remains limited, especially in contexts where DTCA is disallowed. This research attempted to elucidate this issue via a qualitative mixed methods study, including an intervention, tasks, think-alouds, and open questions with German consumers (N = 46). Our results indicated that consumers’ evaluations of a stimulus website about premature ejaculation, which were largely positive at first, changed when people became aware that it was operated by a pharmaceutical company. While respondents were cognisant of most or all the treatment options for the medical condition that were presented on the website, they were most aware of the availability of a prescription drug. Most were able to find out the name of that drug, which was not mentioned on the website, within minutes. We concluded that this form of covert advertising is best characterised as a double-edged sword.

Published: October 2023

Background: Measles is one of the commonest contagious diseases in children associated with numerous systemic complications.
Objective: To find the frequency of Myocarditis in children suffering from measles.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of pediatrics, MTI Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from 6th December 2019 to 5th June 2020. A total of 96 patients of both genders and age range from 1-12 years having measles for more than one week were enrolled in the study after informed consent. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Ethical Review board. Patient demographic data were collected on a structured proforma and frequency of children having clinical presentation of myocarditis was recorded. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS 22.
Results: The frequency of Myocarditis was 7.3% in children presented with Measles. The mean age was 6.6± 3.06 years. There were 47.9% males and 52.1% females. Most patients belonged to middle socioeconomic status i.e. 61.5%. Maternal education was 49% in 6-10 years of age group. In sampled population 46.9% belonged to urban area and 5.1% belonged to rural area. There were 18.8% vaccinated children and 81.3% were not vaccinated for measles. Myocarditis was significantly associated with younger age group (p-value 0.028), however there was no difference of gender (p-value 0.781). Children with low socioeconomic status had significantly higher frequency (p-value 0.05) of myocarditis.
Conclusion: Myocarditis is commonly presented in children having measles especially patients in younger age group and belonging to poor socioeconomic status.
PATELLA RESURFACING DOES NOT IMPROVE OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH POSTOPERATIVE FLEXION CONTRACTURE AFTER PRIMARY TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
Authors: Bukhari Imran Syed , Yew Andy , Pang Hee Nee , Chia Shi-Lu , Yeo Seng Jin , Lo Ngai Nung 
Published: October 2023

Objective: Biomechanical studies have shown that flexion contracture leads to higher patellofemoral compressive forces with potentially poorer outcomes. We studied the outcome of primary knee arthroplasty with or without patella resurfacing in patients presenting with postoperative flexion contracture to determine if patella resurfacing improves the outcome.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the registry data at the Singapore General Hospital from 1998-2014. Of 18074 primary knee replacements carried out, 665 knees were identified with postoperative flexion contracture greater than 10 degrees at 2 years follow-ups, out of which 562 knees were included in the study. One hundred and three patients were lost to follow-ups. All the infected cases were excluded from the study. Knees with patella resurfaced (227) were compared with knees with patella non-resurfaced (335) using Oxford Knee Score, Knee Society Clinical Scoring System, and SF-36. A handheld goniometer was used for measurements by an independent assessor and a physiotherapist. Analysis of factors for prognostic importance was performed using the R statistics.
Results: At two years follow-ups, the non-resurfaced patella group had significantly higher median knee flexion compared to the resurfaced group. Age, male gender, preoperative flexion, and patella resurfacing were found to be significant predictors for knee flexion at two years. Outcome scores did not differ significantly between the two groups.
Conclusion: No significant difference in outcome scores was observed in resurfaced versus non-resurfaced patella groups in patients with more than 10 degrees’ postoperative flexion contracture after primary knee arthroplasty.
Keywords: Patella Resurfacing, Flexion contracture
