Authors: Sapkota K. , Ranjeet N. , Onta P. R. , Thapa P. 
Published: April 2023

Background Radial neck fractures in children are rare injuries, representing 1 to 5% of all elbow pediatric fractures. Most of them are non-displaced or slightly displaced and treated conservatively. Severely displaced or angulated radial neck fractures (Judet type III and IV fractures or O’Brien type III radial neck fractures) requires surgical treatment.
Objective To study the clinical and radiological outcomes of fractures following closed or open reduction and percutaneous intramedullary stabilization of the displaced radial neck fracture in children.
Method There were 24 children with displaced radial neck fracture Judet type II, III and IV fractures O’Brien type II, III who underwent closed reduction and retrograde intramedullary stabilization with Kirschner wires. Functional outcomes were evaluated based on of Mayo Elbow Performance Score.
Result The mean age of patients was 8.42 ± 1.82 years with boys 15(62.5%) and girls 9(37.5%) in number. An excellent result was seen in 5(20.8%) cases and good results in 15(62.5%) cases according to the Mayo elbow performance score. Analyzing a passive and active range of motion, 5 had excellent results, 15 had good results and 4 had fair results compared to the normal side. Radiological evaluation showed fracture healing in excellent or good alignment according to Ursei radiological evaluation classification.
Conclusion Closed reduction and retrograde intramedullary Kirschner wires stabilization for the displaced radial neck fracture provide excellent clinical and radiological results with few complications.

FORMATION OF SOFT SKILLS IN PUPILS THROUGH THE CONTENTS OF “CIVIC EDUCATION” COURSE
Authors: Vozna Zoia 
Published: April 2023

The article researches the didactic resource of the subject field “Civic Education” regarding the possibilities to form a complex of soft skills at high-schoolers. The means of analysis of the methodological tools of the course revealed that the main components of soft skills, which were summarized in four groups in the study, namely: educational, literacy skills, social and personal skills, can be acquired at the lessons; groups of methods that can be used as trainings to form comprehensive skills at pupils were proposed. In the course of the study, it was established that some universal skills, such as leadership qualities, time management, flexibility, need to be specified through separate courses, which was the area of mutual responsibility of the subjects of the educational process. It was confirmed that teaching should take place on the basis of a balance between the formation of hard skills and soft skills, which corresponded to the conceptual principles of the New Ukrainian School reform and the new challenges of a globalized society. The relevance of the idea of a holistic approach to education grounding on the principle of balance, which involved a harmonious combination of mental development with emotional, creative, and spiritual one was determined; inclusiveness, which meant building an educational process based on dialogicity, partnership and connection of knowledge and experience. It was confirmed that the search for effective strategies for the formation of soft skills and forms of their implementation by means of subjects of various educational fields remained a promising direction of research in pedagogical theory and practice, requiring reflection and dissemination of experience at various levels of education.

Published: April 2023

An increasing number of countries are investing in the development of tourism, thus becoming a key driver of socioeconomic development. The effects of tourism are realized through foreign exchange revenues, job creation, and the development of local and national infrastructure. As an international trade service, inbound tourism has become one of the world's major trade categories. Tourism in Croatia is considered an important investment driver and a generator of growth in the national economy. Addressing and development on a competitive basis are determined by the unfavorable macroeconomic environment and business climate in the country. Today's business world is characterized by accelerated development and competitiveness of companies that must stimulate profitable development, measure value creation and continuously learn from success, because only such companies can succeed. The aim of the paper is to show the economic effects of tourism and show the position of Croatian tourism in relation to competitive countries, in order to confirm the hypothesis that Croatia is a strong competitive country.
Education of women entrepreneurs
Authors: Vadnjal Mateja , Vadnjal Jaka 
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we discuss the education of women entrepreneurs in different life stages. Education is one of the most widely used indicators of human capital. We assume that there are significant differences among women entrepreneurs at different stages of their lives, in the Early Career and Idealistic Achievement phase, Mid-Career or phase of Pragmatic Endurance, and thirdly, Advanced Career or Reinvention and Recontribution phase.
Entrepreneurial women are well aware of and value the knowledge of their businesses. A sizable portion of female entrepreneurs is pursuing higher levels of education and training throughout their careers.
A rather low index of business training before starting entrepreneurship and also a low index of ongoing training in business areas, especially in the area of ​​business strategies and management, may mean that this is one of the weak points of female entrepreneurship in our country. Based on the findings of this research we also suggest that educating and promoting entrepreneurship among highly educated female professionals is a challenge to policymakers.
O sistema de escrita alfabética e a sua relevância
Authors: Lourenço Indianara Aparecida Cavalcante 
Published: April 2023

O fato de as crianças estarem inseridas em uma cultura grafocêntrica[2], não garante (embora auxilie) a apropriação das relações existentes entre o que falamos e o que escrevemos. Estas apropriações são oriundas de um trabalho explícito realizado com intencionalidade e sistematização, pois contrário ao aprendizado da fala que é natural (salvo exceções), a escrita é um produto cultural inventado pela humanidade (NAVAS e SANTOS, 2002). Considerada a sua complexidade, alguns questionamentos se fazem presentes em sala de aula quando o objetivo é trabalhar o aprendizado inicial da leitura e da escrita com as crianças: De onde partir? Quais letras utilizar? Em que etapa escolar iniciar? O alfabeto é o conjunto de letras que corresponde à pauta sonora dos falantes de uma língua. O Português do Brasil é estruturado com 21 consoantes e 5 vogais, sendo que a maioria das palavras seguem predominantemente a estrutura CV (consoante/vogal) e todas contêm pelo menos uma vogal (MORAIS, 2012). Logo, podemos inferir que, para escrever o que falamos ou pensamos precisamos utilizar letras de um repertório específico e finito. Segundo Morais (2012) o alfabeto é também denominado de SEA (Sistema de Escrita Alfabética), escrita alfabética, ou ainda, sistema alfabético, e é por meio dele que nos tornamos alfabetizados. Em síntese, a alfabetização é o processo de aprendizagem do sistema alfabético e de suas convenções, ou seja, a aprendizagem de um sistema notacional que representa por grafemas, os fonemas da fala (CEALE, 2004). Dito de outra forma, é a aprendizagem inicial da leitura e da escrita. O dicionário Houaiss (2001, p. 678), apresenta duas definições sobre a palavra sistema que, a priori, converge com o contexto que abordamos: 1) Conjunto de elementos, entre os quais haja alguma relação, e 2) Disposição das partes ou dos elementos de um todo, coordenados entre si, e que formam uma estrutura organizada. Assim, o SEA envolve prioritariamente uma série de propriedades (relação/estrutura organizada) específicas de ordem conceitual e convencional. Conceitual porque estabelece questões que envolvem a essência do sistema de escrita que é a representação simbólica/notacional (grafema/fonema). E convencional porque está no âmbito das convenções, que se configuram nas regras estabelecidas: direcionamento da escrita - escrever de cima para baixo, da esquerda para a direita e com segmentação entre as palavras - e a aquisição de suas regras morfológicas. A partir deste momento, elencaremos de forma contextualizada as dez propriedades do SEA escritas por Morais (2012), para que as indagações realizadas no início deste trabalho possam ser respondidas e compreendidas por todos que trabalham com a alfabetização.

A mucosite oral (MO) é uma doença inflamatória aguda observada em pacientes oncológicos, provocada pelas terapias antineoplásicas. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar, na literatura disponível, os tipos de tratamento, prevenção e características gerais da MO. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura através da busca nas bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed e Periódicos CAPES. A estratégia de busca foi baseada na pesquisa dos descritores “oral mucositis”, “child”, “adolescent”. Foram selecionados artigos publicados, no idioma inglês, entre os anos de 2017 e 2022. Assim, a busca online resultou em 49 estudos selecionados de acordo com os descritores utilizados, sendo 20 provenientes da base de dados PubMed e 29 do Periódico CAPES. Destes, 19 artigos atenderam à abordagem do tema, considerados estudos relevantes e incluídos nesta revisão de literatura. Entretanto, este trabalho contribuiu para identificar as diferentes formas de tratar a MO em pacientes submetidos à quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia, que ainda assim não apresenta um único protocolo. O conhecimento sobre a causa da MO, bem como suas características gerais, é de fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento, prevenção e contribuição para a saúde de forma geral da criança submetida ao tratamento de câncer.
