Vieraiden kielten aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden sähköposteja tulevaisuudesta: tarkastelussa teknologiset oppimisympäristöt
Authors: Maijala Minna , Roiha Anssi , Patzelt Mareen 
Published: September 2023

Jo vuosia on teoreettisesti pohdittu, miten teknologian vaikutukset muuttaisivat tulevaisuuden oppimista (ks. esim. Kessler, 2018). Covid-19-pandemian myötä vuonna 2020 tulevaisuuden ihanteista ja peloista tuli yhtäkkiä nykypäivää ja teoreettiset ajatukset vaihtuivat todellisuudeksi. Tätä taustaa vasten tutkimme vieraiden kielten aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden (N=37) käsityksiä tulevaisuuden oppimisympäristöistä. Opiskelijoiden tehtävänä oli lähettää sähköpostia tulevaisuudesta (Hänninen ym., 2021) ja kertoa kielten opettajan arjesta vuonna 2040. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin ja NVivo-ohjelman avulla. Tulokset osoittavat, että osallistujien asenteet teknologiaa kohtaan vaihtelivat myönteisen, kielteisen ja neutraalin välillä. Opettajaopiskelijat yhdistivät oppimisympäristöihin teknologian tarjoamia uusia opetusmenetelmiä sekä niiden mukanaan tuomaa joustavuutta ja monialaista yhteistyötä. Osallistujat pitivät teknologiaa myös tekijänä, joka lisää osallisuutta etäopetuksen ja osallistavien menetelmien avulla.

Abstract
For years, researchers have been considering how the impact of technology would change future learning (see e.g. Kessler, 2018). In 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic, the ideals and fears of the future suddenly became the present and theoretical ideas became reality. The aim of this study is to explore future language teachers’ (n=37) perceptions of future learning environments. The participants were asked to send an email from the future (Hänninen et al., 2021) in which they describe the everyday life of a language teacher in 2040. We analysed the data using qualitative content analysis and NVivo software. The results show that the participants’ attitudes towards technology varied between positive, negative and neutral. They associated learning environments with new teaching methods offered by technology and the flexibility, interdisciplinary and collaboration that technology allows. The participants also saw technology as a factor for greater inclusion through distance learning and more participatory methods.

Isometric myography is a feasible method to identify and quantify endothelial dysfunction in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease
Authors: Mazzarella Marco O. , Jones Natalie K. , Culshaw Geoff J. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility of isometric myography in pet dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) to determine its use in quantifying endothelial dysfunction.

ANIMALS
9 dogs euthanized for medical reasons.

METHODS
Femoral, renal, and mesenteric arteries were collected postmortem and stored in physiological saline solution at 4 °C for myography. Mitral valves were scored for myxomatous degeneration (grades 1 to 4). Sections of arteries were mounted in wells, immersed in physiological saline solution perfused with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 at 37 °C, and stretched to an internal circumference (IC) that generated the maximal difference between active and passive wall tension (IC1). Normalization factors were calculated by dividing the IC1 by the IC at which the passive wall tension was 100 mm Hg (IC100). Vasoconstriction to phenylephrine and vasodilation to acetylcholine (endothelial dependent) and sodium nitroprusside (endothelial independent) were assessed by cumulative dose-response curves.

RESULTS
Median MMVD grade was 3. Mean values of normalization factors were 1.00 ± 0.14 (renal, n = 15), 1.00 ± 0.10 (femoral, 8), and 1.05 ± 0.12 (mesenteric, 6). Responses to phenylephrine were similar between dogs (P = .14). Reduced responses to acetylcholine compared with sodium nitroprusside were identified in 15 arteries, suggesting endothelial dysfunction.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Isometric myography of arteries from pet dogs is feasible and can identify loss of endothelial-dependent relaxation in dogs with MMVD postmortem. Its use in further research can lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology mechanisms of this disease.

The phenomenon of institutional preschool education from the parents’ perspective
Authors: Lorencová Soňa 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In Slovak kindergartens, teachers are increasingly encountering increased diversity from both children and parents. This is due to the introduction of compulsory preschool education from 2021 for all 5-year-old children and the gradual implementation of the vision of inclusive education, which increases the demands on teachers’ approach to children and the search for more effective strategies in mutual communication and cooperation with parents. This has received minimal consideration in the research field, despite the fact that it is the parents who can serve as important allies for teachers in the development and progress of children. The purpose of the present study was to explore parents’ experiences with institutional preschool education and to discover what kindergarten teachers and directors should know about parents with preschooler. Qualitative research was conducted with 7 parents whose experiences were explored using the methods of constellation with figures, semi-structured interview and researcher’s diary. The data collected were analysed and interpreted through an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results of the research showed that parents’ subjective experience of their children’s preschool education in kindergarten is linked by 5 common themes, which include (1) selection of kindergarten, (2) the adaptation process, (3) teacher’s personality, (4) cooperation with kindergarten, (5) the importance of preschool education, while each theme includes subthemes and quotations that further specify parents’ experiences. At the same time, the research results revealed that institutional preschool education has significant relevance not only in the lives of children, but also for the parents.

Unconventional Monetary Measures During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study for Central and Eastern European Countries
Authors: Clichici Dorina 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had major negative repercussions on the countries from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), which experienced almost similar declines in the economy in 2020. Against this background, central banks from CEE initiated unconventional monetary policy measures aimed at mitigating the economic and social effects of the pandemic. The purpose of this article is to analyse the CEE central banks’ response to the pandemic crisis, i.e., the response of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, and to unveil the particularities of the unconventional monetary policy adopted by these states. To achieve this goal, the article presents a chronology of the main decisions adopted by CEE central banks during the pandemic and the dynamics of these central banks’ assets. The main findings suggest that CEE monetary authorities, like major central banks, initiated the first measures to counter the negative effects of the pandemic on the economy in March 2020. All of them cut the key interest rate and injected liquidity through open market operations in order to support lending to the real economy. However, the magnitude of these measures was different depending on the economic and financial systems’ peculiarities. Moreover, not all of them initiated purchases of assets or new lending facilities.

Published: September 2023

A busca pela terapêutica ideal para tratamento das doenças mentais cresce a cada ano. No caso da depressão, por exemplo, um terço dos pacientes não responde ao tratamento antidepressivo inicial após 4-8 semanas, conforme artigo da Revista Debates em Psiquiatria - RDP, publicado em maio de 2016 (clique aqui para ler na íntegra). Segundo o artigo de atualização escrito pelos doutores Maria Cristina Montenegro e Amaury Cantilino, "mesmo utilizando a terapêutica adequada, 50-85% dos casos recorrem e 20% tornam-se crônicos. Entre os pacientes que sofrem de depressão maior, 10% são cronicamente resistentes a várias intervenções psicofarmacológicas". Além dos avanços obtidos na área da psicofarmacologia, a Estimulação Magnética Transcraniana - EMT parece ser um tratamento promissor. A EMT consiste na estimulação do córtex cerebral, que já possui benefícios comprovados em doenças neurológicas e psiquiátricas.

Published: September 2023

Foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to an investment into a company or organisation through long-term or overseas expansion acquisition with the hope of forming a long-term relationship. It is a viable business tool utilised in businesses across the globe. However, in Iraq, despite the investment laws and other regulations to boost foreign direct investment, investors still need to be convinced about investing in Iraq due to several factors that might affect their investments. Many countries and some Arab countries have advanced in their FDIs, leaving Iraq behind, one of which is the UAE. Therefore, this research aims to analyse Iraqi's FDI vis-à-vis what is obtainable in the UAE to proffer effective and appropriate recommendations to be implemented to boost the Iraqi FDI for better future investments. To achieve this, the study utilised a theoretical method of review of existing literature and relevant legislations in the two jurisdictions, as well as a comparative analysis to analyse the key areas hindering the effectiveness of the Iraqi FDI compared to what is obtainable in the UAE. It was discovered that besides the dispute resolution mechanism, corruption, poor infrastructure, unskilled labour, political instability and the financial sector, the legal framework is inadequate, incomprehensive, and discouraging to foreign investors. However, these hindrances are not prevalent in the UAE. Hence, the suggestion for Iraq to boost its political stability, social security, improve its business climate and transfer knowledge and practices from the UAE to achieve a robust FDI in Iraq in fulfilment of SDG 17.
