Authors: Breytenbach Tarien , Marais Elma , Botha Carolina , Coertzen Florence 
Published: January 2025

This study explores the potential of LEGO® Six Bricks®, a manipulative educational tool, to enhance the pedagogical skills of third-year pre-service teachers in South Africa. Employing participatory action learning and action research (PALAR), the study involved six third-year pre-service teachers from North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus. Data was generated using LEGO®-voice, reflective journalling and reflective group conversations during and after school-based teaching practice. Data analysis involved thematic content analysis and inductive analysis using ATLAS.ti 23 software These pre-service teachers not only had to reflect on their own perceptions regarding pedagogy and the role that pedagogy plays in being a teacher, but also on how a manipulative can be utilised as a teaching tool. The findings in this study revealed that LEGO® Six Bricks® positively impacted pedagogical approaches despite challenges such as insufficient support from mentor teachers and resource constraints. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on bridging the theory-practice gap in teacher education by integrating innovative, play-based learning tools.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the cognitive processes involved in reading text english and examine the factors influencing high school students’ reading strategies at Suntisart School Thailand. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and a review of students' reading activities. The study focused on senior high school students, observing their performance in decoding, fluency, and comprehension tasks during reading sessions. Interviews were conducted to uncover the students' thinking patterns and strategies for tackling reading challenges text english. The data collected from the interviews and classroom observations were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework, which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results found that more proficient readers applied strategies such as summarizing, making inferences, and reflecting on the text, which contributed to their understanding and retention of information. Additionally, students who struggled with reading often relied on external support from teachers or peers to manage their cognitive processes. The study concludes that students' ability to regulate their cognitive strategies plays a crucial role in their reading success and suggests that a combination of self-regulation and external guidance is essential for improving reading skills.

BackgroundAlthough the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) has been widely studied across various populations, there is still no consensus on its factor structure. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the HADS in cancer patients.MethodsOur study was cross-sectional and non-probabilistic. It involved 467 cancer patients aged 18 years and over, who were treated at a public institution specialized in oncology. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory were used. We evaluated their internal structure, measurement invariance, relationship with other variables, and reliability.ResultsIt was found that the HADS is best suited to a bifactorial structure where there is one general factor (emotional distress) and two specific factors (anxiety and depression). The HADS demonstrates invariance with respect to sex and years of education. It shows a moderate correlation with the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory. In addition, it presents acceptable levels of reliability and relationship with instruments used in the diagnosis of anxiety and depression.ConclusionThe HADS is best suited to a bifactorial structure in cancer populations, with comparisons across both sexes and varying levels of education. Its brevity, versatility, hospital-focused design, and extensive validation make the HADS a very important instrument in the detection of anxiety and depression in cancer patients.

O artigo possui como objetivo expor os principais biomarcadores de sepse pediátrica e apontar suas vantagens no prognóstico dos afetados e como objetivo secundários, demonstrar o Modelo de Risco de Biomarcadores de Sepse Pediátrica (PERSEVERE). Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de caráter crítico e analítico, na pesquisa sobre os principais conceitos no que tange os biomarcadores de sepse pediátrica. Foi realizada uma revisão de artigos nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e PubMed, com os seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Biomarcadores; Pediatria; Sepse. A mortalidade associada à sepse permanece um desafio significativo para a saúde pública infantil global. Estimar de forma confiável o risco basal de mortalidade em casos de sepse pediátrica representa uma forma importante de enriquecimento prognóstico. O enriquecimento prognóstico é essencial para diversas áreas, incluindo a tomada de decisões clínicas, a alocação eficiente de recursos, os esforços para melhoria da qualidade do atendimento e a pesquisa. Embora diversos biomarcadores tenham sido avaliados para estimar o risco de desfechos desfavoráveis em sepse, poucos foram validados com rigor suficiente para serem adotados clinicamente como estratégias eficazes de enriquecimento prognóstico. O uso de biomarcadores para identificar pacientes com sepse continua sendo uma área de pesquisa amplamente reconhecida e de grande importância. No entanto, uma vertente igualmente relevante, embora menos enfatizada, é a descoberta e o desenvolvimento de biomarcadores voltados para o enriquecimento prognóstico e preditivo em pacientes com sepse. Nos últimos anos, essa área tem avançado significativamente, especialmente no contexto pediátrico.

Authors: Носенко Юлія 
Published: January 2025

У статті схарактеризовано імерсивні технології (ІмТ), які нині стали беззаперечними індикаторами освітніх інновацій та поступово інтегруються у різні сфери людської діяльності. Впровадження ІмТ у змішаному навчанні має низку переваг: поглиблення розуміння складних тем, індивідуалізація навчання, можливість практичного застосування знань, покращення співпраці та комунікації, гнучкість та доступність навчання, зменшення навчальних бар’єрів, оцінювання знань у реальному часі, реалізація креативних підходів до навчання, розвиток навичок самостійного навчання, глобальний доступ до ресурсів, підтримка емоційної залученості та мотивації, реалістичне моделювання професійного середовища, економія ресурсів.
Для обрання найбільш доцільної ІмТ запропоновано певні критерії (мета використання, користувацький досвід, технічні вимоги, масштабованість, витрати, локалізація, безпека, підтримка), що дозволять визначитися з тим, яка саме технологія потрібна для виконання поставлених задач.
У результаті опитування вчителів закладів ЗСО України, проведеного у 2024 році, було з’ясовано, що 66,9 % респондентів реалізують змішане навчання, 30,1 % працюють у традиційному форматі, відповідно 3 % – у дистанційному. За цих умов найбільш поширеними моделями змішаного навчання виявилися: «індивідуальна ротація», «перевернутий клас», «гнучка модель».
На основі аналітичної роботи було здійснено добір ІмТ (VR, AR, 360-градусні відео) та описано можливості їхнього використання не тільки відповідно до моделей змішаного навчання, а й щодо різних видів навчальної діяльності (класна робота, домашнє завдання, індивідуальні завдання, поглиблення знань, проєктна робота та ін.).

Une révolution presque sereine : la déségrégation des écoles à Washington en 1954
Authors: Gilli Ludivine 
Published: January 2025

L’arrêt de la Cour suprême Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka du 17 mai 1954, qui interdit la ségrégation dans les écoles publiques, est mal accueilli dans les États du Sud. Dans la capitale Washington DC, la conjugaison de plusieurs facteurs permet néanmoins une transition rapide et pacifiée d’un système dual, pourtant enraciné dans l’histoire, vers un système déségrégué. L’État fédéral, guidé par un président résolu, donne le ton en exigeant des autorités locales une action immédiate. Le système scolaire est alors grossièrement inégalitaire et la ségrégation y est devenue un obstacle manifeste au règlement de dysfonctionnements structurels. Les protestations des parents et de la société civile se succèdent sans relâche à partir de 1947, dans la rue et devant les tribunaux. Les militants locaux avaient obtenu la déségrégation des théâtres dès 1946, sans débordements majeurs, ce qui en dédramatise les effets et donne peu à peu un caractère inexorable à la déségrégation totale. Dans ce contexte propice, les organisations citoyennes et les autorités s’organisent à l’avance pour préparer la mise en œuvre de la déségrégation. Le résultat, à Washington, est une déségrégation scolaire sereine.
Le Conseil Métropolitain pour l’Opportunité Éducative (METCO) à Boston : intégration raciale et libéralisme de banlieue, 1966-1996
Authors: Harakat Sarah 
Published: January 2025

Le présent article s’intéresse à l’histoire du plus vieux programme d’intégration volontaire des États-Unis, METCO. Fondé à Boston en 1966, ce programme organise le transport d’écoliers majoritairement africains-américains vers les écoles de banlieue à majorité blanche ayant souhaité leur attribuer leurs places vacantes. Si l’historiographie s’est intéressée à l’opposition blanche rencontrée par la plupart de ces stratégies de transport à des fins d’intégration raciale, l’histoire des banlieues ayant fait le choix du busing pour diversifier leurs écoles reste à écrire.La métropole de Boston offre en ce sens un cas d’étude précieux, puisqu’elle a été au même moment, durant les années 1970, le lieu de la révolte urbaine anti-busing la plus virulente des États-Unis, et celui de l’expansion du programme de busing volontaire METCO, désormais reconnu comme un modèle national d’intégration raciale. Loin d’opposer ces deux mouvements, notre article retrouve dans ces deux formes de busing (imposé ou volontaire, urbain ou périurbain) une tendance commune : l’évolution des idées conservatrices dans les États-Unis post-Brown v. Board of Education. En retraçant la genèse du programme, et notamment sa survie à la crise anti-busing des années 1970, cet article analyse son succès comme le résultat d’une obédience stricte aux règles du libéralisme de banlieue (Geismer) qui, derrière un discours d’apport mutuel, pense in fine le choix de l’intégration raciale comme un acte philanthropique.Cet article se fonde sur les archives du programme, les données quantitatives des recensements américains sur la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, et l’historiographie portant sur la crise anti-busing à Boston, ainsi que des entretiens d’histoire orale menés avec d’anciens élèves des banlieues concernées par le programme.
“When the war is over […] we will all enlist again” (The Lice): W.S. Merwin P(r)o(ph)etic
Authors: Aji Hélène 
Published: January 2025

This essay takes Kenneth White’s description of “a quiet apocalypse” as a starting point to read the complexities of W.S. Merwin’s poems in The Lice (1967). The poems are to be related to the context of the Vietnam war: the horrors perpetrated by the U.S. in Vietnam are legible in the tense and dark poems that protest against them, but they are never explicitly mentioned. Rather, what unfolds is a generic discourse on humankind’s irrepressible propensities to predation, violence and self-destruction. The poems delineate empty indeterminate agents that are intent on performing the dreadful acts that will lead them to a deadly future of extinction. In the wake of T.S. Eliot’s and William Carlos Williams’ opposed yet paradoxically converging visions of spring, W.S. Merwin revises the figure of the poet into the ominous prophet of a programmed apocalypse, delivering in his poems the cryptic messages of a suicidal community of the human.
« La deuxième communauté noire la plus prospère du pays » : l’espoir d’une vie en banlieue résidentielle à Atlanta pour les migrant·es africain·es-américain·es
Authors: Raulin Nicolas 
Published: January 2025

À partir des années 1990, la banlieue est d’Atlanta, située dans le comté de DeKalb, est réputée la « deuxième communauté noire la plus prospère du pays » et attire des migrant·es africain·es-américain·es venu·es des quatre coins des États-Unis. Alors qu’un retournement migratoire est observable entre le Nord et le Sud du pays à partir des années 1970, Atlanta va devenir la nouvelle « Mecque Noire », concentrant la plus grande part de migrant·es venu·es d’autres régions du pays. Le présent article s’intéresse à l’émergence de la réputation d’Atlanta en tant que nouvelle terre promise pour les résident·es noir·es en soulignant le rôle de la presse et des migrant·es elleux-mêmes dans l’élaboration d’un récit vantant les promesses de la vie dans la capitale géorgienne. Nous nous intéressons aussi aux actions locales nécessaires au développement de cette oasis pour la classe moyenne noire : initiatives privées et mobilisations collectives sont centrales dans la constitution de ce refuge pour les résident·es noir·es aisé·es. Nous considérons enfin ce que ces mobilisations disent de la reconfiguration des mobilisations contre les inégalités raciales dans le Sud post-mouvement des droits civiques : elles donnent à voir l’idéologie d’une classe moyenne noire faisant du marché et de la responsabilité individuelle les pierres angulaires de leurs stratégies d’émancipation.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a rare and recently described neuroinflammatory disease associated with specific autoantibodies. Anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (anti-LGI1) encephalitis is a rare but treatable type of AE discovered in recent years. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease and the most common cause of dementia. AD may undergo a series of pathological physiological changes in brain tissue 20 years before the onset of typical symptoms. The stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) that occurs during this process, known as MCI due to AD, is the earliest stage with clinical symptoms. MCI is typically categorized into two subtypes: Amnestic MCI (aMCI) and non-aMCI.
CASE SUMMARY
This report describes a patient with rapid cognitive impairment, diagnosed with anti-LGI1 antibody-mediated AE and aMCI, and treated at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in March 2023. The patient was hospitalized with acute memory decline for more than 3 months. Both the cerebrospinal fluid and serum were positive for anti-LGI1 antibodies, biomarkers of AD coexisting in the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid. Following combination treatment with immunoglobulin therapy and glucocorticoid, plus inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the patient’s cognitive function significantly improved. Throughout the 3-month follow-up period, a sustained improvement in cognitive function was observed. The results of serum anti-LGI1 antibody were negative.
CONCLUSION
This case has raised awareness of the possible interaction between AE and early AD (including MCI due to AD), and alerted clinicians to the possibility of concurrent rare and common diseases in patients presenting with cognitive impairment.
Independent risk factors for twin pregnancy adverse fetal outcomes before 28 gestational week by first trimester ultrasound screening
Authors: Zhang Hui-Ping , Bao Li , Wu Jing-Jing , Zhou Yu-Qing 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
The incidence of multiple pregnancies has increased worldwide recently and women with a twin pregnancy are at higher risk of adverse outcomes compared with women with a singleton pregnancy. It is important to understand the risk factors for adverse fetal outcomes in twin pregnancy in order to guide clinical management.
AIM
To identify the independent risk factors, including maternal personal and family medical histories and first trimester ultrasound screening findings, for adverse fetal outcomes of twin pregnancy before 28 weeks of gestation.
METHODS
The data of 126 twin pregnancies in our hospital, including pregnancy outcomes, first trimester ultrasound screening findings and maternal medical history, were retrospectively collected. Twenty-nine women with adverse outcomes were included in the abnormal group and the remaining 97 women were included in the control group.
RESULTS
Patients in the abnormal group were more likely to be monochorionic diamniotic (13/29 vs 20/97, P = 0.009), with a higher mean pulsatility index (PI, 1.57 ± 0.55 vs 1.28 ± 0.42, P = 0.003; cutoff value: 1.393) or a higher mean resistance index (0.71 ± 0.11 vs 0.65 ± 0.11, P = 0.008; cutoff value: 0.683) or early diastolic notch of bilateral uterine arteries (UtAs, 10/29 vs 15/97, P = 0.024) or with abnormal ultrasound findings (13/29 vs 2/97, P < 0.001), compared with the control group. Monochorionic diamnioticity, higher mean PI of bilateral UtAs and abnormal ultrasound findings during first trimester screening were independent risk factors for adverse fetal outcomes (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
First trimester ultrasound screening for twin pregnancy identifies independent risk factors and is useful for the prediction of fetal outcomes.
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging provides accurate staging of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but is less preferred by patients

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (wbMRI) allows general assessment of systemic cancers including lymphomas without radiation burden.
AIM
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of wbMRI in the staging of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), determine the value of individual MRI sequences, and assess patients’ concerns with wbMRI.
METHODS
In this single-center prospective study, adult patients newly diagnosed with systemic DLBCL underwent wbMRI on a 3T scanner [diffusion weighted images with background suppression (DWIBS), T2, short tau inversion recovery (STIR), contrast-enhanced T1] and fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) (reference standard). The involvement of 12 nodal regions and extranodal sites was evaluated on wbMRI and PET/CT. The utility of wbMRI sequences was rated on a five-point scale (0 = not useful, 4 = very useful). Patients received a questionnaire regarding wbMRI.
RESULTS
Of 60 eligible patients, 14 (23%) were enrolled and completed the study. The sensitivity of wbMRI in the nodal involvement (182 nodal sites) was 0.84, with 0.99 specificity, positive predictive value of 0.96, negative predictive value of 0.97, and 0.97 accuracy. PET/CT and wbMRI were concordant both in extranodal involvement (13 instances) and staging (κ = 1.0). The mean scores of the utility of MRI sequences were 3.71 ± 0.73 for DWIBS, 2.64 ± 0.84 for T1, 2.14 ± 0.77 for STIR, and 1.29 ± 0.73 for T2 (P < 0.0001). Patients were mostly concerned about the enclosed environment and duration of the MRI examination (27% of patients).
CONCLUSION
The wbMRI exhibited excellent sensitivity and specificity in staging DLBCL. DWIBS and contrast-enhanced T1 were rated as the most useful sequences. Patients were less willing to undergo wbMRI as a second examination parallel to PET/CT, especially owing to the long duration and the enclosed environment.
