The Impact of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation on Inflammatory Markers in Preterm Infants – A Literature Review
Authors: Bielecka Larysa 
Published: January 2025

Introduction
Inflammation in fetuses and newborns, particularly in the population of preterm infants, is associated with increased mortality and adverse health outcomes. It has been shown that the placental transfer of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is limited in very preterm infants. Studies have demonstrated that low levels of PUFAs correlate with the severity of inflammation in infants' bodies. They are also associated with an increased incidence of diseases, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity. One of the beneficial effects of PUFA supplementation is its inhibitory action on inflammatory processes in the body.
Aim of the study
Supplements containing fatty acids are among the most popular complementary health interventions introduced in children. Considering this potential benefit, we would like to present research studies that describe the relationship between the supplementation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the levels of inflammatory markers in preterm infants.
Materials and MethodsA review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published in 2020-2024 regarding the relationship between the supplementation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the levels of inflammatory markers in preterm infants. Three studies meeting specific selection criteria were identified.
Results
All the studies discussed in our work demonstrate that supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids in preterm infants reduces the levels of inflammatory markers. Research consistently shows that PUFA supplementation lowers IL-6 levels, a cytokine considered a risk factor for sepsis in preterm infants.
Conclusion
Supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids holds potential for modulating inflammatory processes in preterm infants, with efficacy likely influenced by factors such as the specific type of fatty acid used, timing and form of administration, and individual variations in response.

The Sringin is a downstream river located in East Semarang. The Sringin River becomes the channel waste of the East Semarang district area. The Sringin River bank is surrounded by the Terboyo industrial area and settlement. The flood occurred in both areas, especially at Ngilir village, Genuk subdistrict. It is caused by low-capacity sedimentation channels and buildings occupying the channel body. The study aims to estimate flood discharge during repeat period 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on Sringin river downstream, analyze the capacity cross-section river, and identify the river water level profile when debit flowed with various period repeat flood. The hydrology calculation showed that flood discharge plans in the repeat period 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years are 12.42; 16.67; 19.81; 30.7; 31.6; 33.22 m 3 /s. At the same time, the flow river capacity is 2.95 m³/s in the upstream section and 15.52 m³/s in the downstream section. Thus, floods occurred in some places when large discharges flowed. In period 2, the water level is about 1.0 to 1.5 meters. In more repeat periods, the level is higher. The conclusion is that the Sringin River cannot flow with perfect discharge, which exceeds its flow capacity.
The search for 18 Rabbit
Authors: Kerr Thomas 
Published: January 2025

This poster presentation documents the development of an exemplar teaching resource that uses a games-based learning approach to engage learners in the study of the archaeology of ancient cultures. “The Search for 18 Rabbit” is a game based in a virtual 3D world that engages learners in a quest to discover the facts surrounding the demise of Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, also known by the title “18 Rabbit”, the last significant ruler of Copán (Mayan title: Xukpi), a major city of the southern Mayan region (now western Honduras). The site was chosen because it combines interesting architectural features, including a game-based cultural space called the Ball Court, with a wealth of historical facts and supporting myths; providing the game creators with a rich mix of primary resources to use in development.
The relatively recent development of free, easy to use open-source game engine environments such as Platinum Arts Sandbox and other commercially available applications (e.g. Unity 3D) means that educators who want to actively engage learners in historical studies or related disciplines can now offer them an immersive, dynamic experience as they explore virtual ancient cities such as Mayan cultural centres that thrived in the 7th to 10th centuries.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Metacognition is a critical cognitive skill in learning science. Numerous studies indicate that learners with high metacognitive abilities tend to excel in scientific skills, such as their capacity to construct scientific models. This study aims to compare students’ ability to construct concept-process models before and after participating in analogy-based learning using the Focus-Action-Reflection (FAR) method on the topic of metabolism. Additionally, the study investigates the relationship between students’ ability to construct conceptual process models and their metacognitive skills. The sample consisted of 137 second-year students enrolled in a basic biochemistry course, selected through cluster sampling. The research instruments included a process model construction assessment and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). The data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and correlation analysis. The results showed significant improvement in students’ ability to construct conceptual process models, with an average learning gain of 16.5 %. Statistical analysis indicated a significant increase in test scores after the instructional activities. Furthermore, Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between learning progress and metacognitive skills, particularly in the use of information management strategies (IMS) and debugging strategies (DS). These findings emphasize the importance of integrating metacognitive skill development into science education, particularly in fostering students’ ability to construct conceptual process models – an essential tool for enhancing science learning outcomes.

Background and Objectives: The use of modern and technology-based educational methods can play a significant role in enhancing nurses' capabilities in stress management and improving their responses to stressful situations. Therefore, this study aims to determine the impact of stress management on the stress responses of nurses working in pediatric departments of educational hospitals affiliated Iran University of Medical Sciences through a multimedia software intervention.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, a random sampling method was employed to select 102 nurses (51 individuals in the intervention group and 51 in the control group) working in general hospital departments. The inclusion criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of stress management training on the stress responses of nurses included having at least a bachelor’s degree, a minimum of 6 months of work experience in pediatric wards, no reported psychological disorders, and no use of psychiatric medications based on self-reports. Additionally, participants were required to have access to a computer capable of running DVDs and familiarity with its operation, with no prior experience or readiness to participate in a stress management workshop within the last 6 months. Conversely, the exclusion criteria were participant dissatisfaction, change of department, and hospital relocation. This assessment is shared in improving the skills and response to the stress of nurses in pediatric department of medical centers. To measure the stress responses, the Inventory Response Stress questionnaire was utilized, which was completed by both groups prior to the intervention. Subsequently, the educational content regarding stress management was provided to the intervention group for duration of 8 weeks. At the end of the eighth week, both groups completed the stress response questionnaire again. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22 software, with statistical tests including Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
Results: No significant difference was observed in the mean of stress response in the intervention (29.69 ± 23.66) and control (33.20 ± 27.95) groups before the intervention (p = 0.661). The average stress response score in the intervention group (19.65 ± 16.74) was significantly lower than the control group (32.67 ± 28.17) after the intervention (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: These data demonstrated the positive effect of the stress management program on nurses' stress response who participated in this study.

Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives: Violence against pregnant women is a clear violation of women's rights associated with many consequences and complications both for the mother and fetus. In this study, we aimed to determine factors affecting the severity of domestic violence against pregnant women.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was carried out between July 2020 and September 2021. The participants were 234 women with low-risk pregnancies (28-40 weeks) who were transferred to the maternity ward of Bentolhoda Hospital in Bojnurd City. Mothers were selected by the convenience sampling method. A two-part questionnaire was used in this study, which included demographic and midwifery information questionnaires and a domestic violence questionnaire created by Tabrizi in 2013. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using logistic regression.
Results: The prevalence rate of violence against pregnant women (experiencing at least one type of domestic violence from the husband) was 64.6%. Among those who had experienced violence, 36.1% of the participants experienced low to very mild violence during pregnancy and 63.9% experienced moderate violence. However, severe violence was not experienced by any of the research units. Also, there was a significant relationship between babies' gender and the severity of violence (P=0.03). Pregnant women with male fetus (OR = 3.14, CI95%:1.093–9.069) were 3.14 times more exposed to violence with moderate severity.
Conclusion: In this study, most women suffered domestic violence with moderate severity. Among pregnant women with male fetuses, the severity of violence was even higher. Thus, it is necessary to pay a proper attention to the design and implementation of educational and support programs for these women to prevent domestic violence and reduce its adverse impacts.

DEVELOPING PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE IN EFL SPEAKING THROUGH ROLEPLAY
Authors: - Sukarsono - 
Published: January 2025

Teaching speaking is intrinsically complicated but it is quite challenging at once. Pragmatic competence, an essential element of speaking competence, refers to the ability to use appropriately selected forms of language to express and to interpret the intended speaker's meanings in various contexts. Despite its vital role in fostering social harmony within everyday communication, developing such a competence seems 'easier said than done'. As pessimistically voiced by some EFL speaking teachers and several empirical studies, this ability does not seem well developed among EFL students of all education levels in Indonesia. Hence, English speaking teachers in this country should pull out all the stops to find a potentially effective teaching strategy in this issue. This article proposes a prescribed roleplay, enhanced by the utilization of social media applications, i.e. YouTube or Instagram, for teaching a speech act. The utilization of social media platforms potentially generates students’ learning motivation since it enables them to have a one-click access to authentic speaking learning resources and to journal students' progress in conversational practices. This prescribed roleplay comprises twofold stages, i.e. (i) to activate the students' pragmatic awareness and (ii) to execute a step-by-step instructional activities; Hopefully, such a teaching practice will inspire our dedicated ELT speaking teachers aiming at developing pragmatic competence within the students' speaking command.
GAME CHOICES: PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHERS' PERCEPTIONS OF TRADITIONAL VS DIGITAL GAME-BASED LEARNING (DGBL) FOR PEER-TEACHING PRACTICES
Authors: Ningsih Fitria , Nikmah Lailatul 
Published: January 2025

Game-based learning (GBL) is widely used to enhance student engagement and motivation in English language teaching. Yet, limited studies compare pre-service teachers’ perceptions of traditional and digital game-based learning (DGBL) approaches. Thus, this study explores the benefits, challenges, and preferences of 60 pre-service English teachers at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung regarding traditional games and DGBL in peer-teaching practices. A mixed-methods approach is used, with quantitative data showing traditional games scored a mean of 3.65 for promoting collaboration, while DGBL scored a mean of 3.89 for technological integration and interactivity. Qualitative findings reveal that while traditional games are appreciated for fostering social interaction and teamwork and offering a technology-free alternative, DGBL is valued for its ability to enhance engagement, provide real-time feedback, and integrate technological skills. However, challenges such as technical issues, resource limitations, and the need for advanced skills were highlighted for DGBL. The study suggests integrating both approaches in teacher training to address diverse learning needs and better prepare pre-service teachers for modern classrooms.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many areas of society and the economy. In the epidemiological field, it has significantly increased mortality, especially in the elderly population. It has greatly affected the real estate and financial market. The price of housing, inflation, and interest rates rose. Therefore, housing is currently unaffordable. The analysis of the Life Expectancy Tables jumped to a higher risk of death for men than for women. The pandemic has made women more likely to be widowed than men, and more often, while their economic and social status has worsened.
Higher mortality rates have an impact on the cash flow associated with insurance and reverse annuity contracts. Reverse annuity benefits also depend on the value of property and the interest rate.
This article analyses the impact of higher mortality rates, property values, and interest rates on annuity benefits for widows. The actuarial value of the life annuity is used on the calculation of benefits. The interest rate is modelled using the Svensson model of spot interest and the 3m WIBOR. Financial mathematics for life insurance and demographic methods are used.

Published: January 2025

The main focus of this paper is to provide a thorough examination of the factors influencing the adoption of appropriate e-waste recycling practices in Sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: Specifically, this study assessed global e-waste recycling and policy issues and the factors influencing the adoption of appropriate e-waste recycling practices in sub-Saharan Africa. Prior work: This paper is built upon available literature that has been published in the area of e-waste recycling. The paper utilized publications from different developed and developing countries by examining legal and institutional frameworks, infrastructures, recycling practices, etc. Approach: This study used a desk review approach to conduct a systematic literature review of research articles collected from various databases. Implications: The findings of this study provide insights into the factors influencing the adoption of appropriate e-waste recycling practices by policy makers and all e-waste stakeholders. This provides a path for the implementation of sustainable development goals that aim to protect human health and the environment. Value: This study revealed that the absence of policies, regulations and recycling infrastructure are some of the factors affecting the adoption of e-waste recycling in sub-Saharan Africa. However, some countries within the region, such as South Africa, Rwanda and Uganda, have enacted regulatory frameworks for e-waste management, which have enabled them to facilitate the adoption of e-waste recycling practices in their countries. Other factors include economic incentives and market opportunities, which play critical roles in driving the adoption of appropriate e-waste recycling practices. Moreover, factors such as public awareness, education, and technology are fundamental in the region.
