Published: May 2022

<p>Communication in an organization such as the school is important, especially the social and working communication among teachers. When communication among the teachers is effective, there would be a collaboration between them in work, especially when implementing the school curricular and co-curricular programmes successfully. In schools where there are two educational streams; the mainstream and the Special Education Integration Programme, it is vital that effective communication is given priority. This study describes and discusses the characteristics of work and social communication between the Special Education teachers and the mainstream teachers of a local rural primary school in Selangor, Malaysia. Four teachers from each stream were selected as respondents for the study. The findings revealed that there appeared to be good teachers’ communication from both streams. These teachers have collaborated in executing their tasks and they have developed a good rapport and effective communication in other fields of work as well such as co-curricular activities and other school activities such as the Parents Teacher Association meetings and Staff developments and sports. The findings through interviews with the teacher respondents and documents showed that the teachers have practiced their social intelligence, have used their interpersonal communication skills and have adopted a social network, ‘WhatsApp’ application in their communication in school. The school administrator has played its part too in establishing effective communication between superiors and subordinates.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0737/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

We are in the midst of a worldwide crisis that is killing people, causing human suffering, and putting people's lives at risk. But it is not just a life-threatening condition. It is, without a doubt, a human-societal problem. The COVID epidemic is wreaking havoc on society from the inside. School closures have also resulted in a lack of daycare, which has put a strain on women’s work-life balance and parents required to assist their children's learning at home. This study aimed to investigate the influence of COVID-19 on social interaction in families in Abetifi, Kwahu East District. The study used a qualitative research methodology with an interpretivist viewpoint encapsulated within the inductive epistemological framework. Using purposive and convenience sampling strategies, the researchers chose 15 Abetifi residents as participants to complete the interview schedule. The study discovered that the COVID-19 pandemic had hurt family bonds and social contact. The survey also found that participants followed the safety rules out of concern for their own and loved ones’ lives. It is suggested that regulatory authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Health (M.O.H.), and the Ghana Health Service (G.H.S.) continue to encourage people to follow safety precautions because we do not know when the virus will go away.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Başaslan Zaim 
Published: May 2022

Urban open spaces are among the most common usage areas of urban life in the historical process. It is the most effectively used element of the areas designed as open spaces in urban planning. From a sociological point of view, urban squares are positioned as an important "public space", which is used by the inhabitants of these regions for cultural, social, commercial or political purposes on special occasions, in short, where urban life comes to life. While urban squares were an important "urban life focus" that formed the personality and identity of cities in the process, they lost their original values when they were used as car parks at the point we reached. Urban space is the main means of integration of a city/city. Public “urban spaces” are places where people can transfer their cultural knowledge and learn again. However, in terms of defining the city, individuals; It is in these places that he gains the experience of being an urbanite as a result of their cultural identity, development and communication with others. Social movements, revolutions and even coups have become symbols in the city squares, and sometimes they have been the places where the rebellion of the societies and sometimes the entertainment reached their peak. Squares, which are the basic communication and interaction spaces before the period that we will call the development of technology and the communication age, have an important place in the history of countries and societies in terms of socialization. In this study, the importance of public spaces (squares) compatible with social life was investigated by evaluating the relationship between the urban environment and social behavior from a human perspective.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0944/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Vincular el diseño y la cultura de la milpa. Estudio del proyecto del diseñador Fernando Laposse
Authors: Cozzolino Francesca 
Published: May 2022

Este artículo se basa en un estudio de caso del proyecto totomoxtle, un material de recubrimiento obtenido a partir de hojas de maíz, desarrollado en un pueblo del estado de Puebla y concebido por el diseñador mexicano Fernando Laposse. Por un lado se describe cómo los agricultores han aprendido a manejar los gestos técnicos y los saberes hacer artesanales empleados en los procesos de producción, desde la recolección de las hojas de maíz hasta el uso de los prototipos creados por el diseñador. Por otra parte, queremos destacar las relaciones culturales, económicas, políticas, ecológicas y simbólicas que están en juego en este proyecto y la forma en que este permite la aparición de nuevas cadenas de cooperación que vinculan a un actor creativo (un diseñador) con la sociedad civil (los habitantes del pueblo), las producciones de diseño con una nueva forma de artesanía y con las técnicas agrícolas. Este proyecto nos sitúa en una posición estratégica para entender cómo un cambio global —la crisis del maíz híbrido y sus consecuencias— afecta a una pequeña comunidad del sureste de México y cómo, en esta colaboración con un diseñador, se reinventa una forma de resistir a la explotación capitalista de la naturaleza.
¿Impugnación o alineación?: El productor-artista en la lógica del investigador-emprendedor
Authors: Cortázar Triana Daniel , Ponce Dimas Thalía , Gómez Rodríguez María Elisa 
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo se describe cómo el modelo neoliberal limita las acciones individuales de los sujetos y contribuye en cierta medida a la transformación de los investigadores en emprendedores. Esto supone un conflicto en tanto los investigadores deben utilizar una lógica emprendedora para poder desarrollar sus propios productos creativos en el ecosistema académico. De forma teórica, se aborda la reconfiguración de las universidades en el contexto latinoamericano como resultado de la lógica neoliberal, para después abordar casos de investigadores en el campo del arte los cuales deben tomar el camino del emprendimiento como forma de estructuración individual, social y económica. Finalmente, se propone un modelo de autogestión como respuesta a la condición antes enunciada.

Published: May 2022

Male infertility makes up half of all infertility globally, and numerous etiological factors play a significant role to it. Oligoasthenozospermia is a sperm disorder that involves two disorders at the same time, Oligozoospermia (low sperm count) and Asthenozoospermia (Abnormal sperm motility). The signs and symptoms of oligoasthenozoospermia can be co-related with Kshina Shukra in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda Asta-vidha Shukra dushti are mentioned. Kshina Shukra is one among the Asta-vidha Shukra dushti, in which qualitative as well quantitative vitiation of Shukra dhatu occur. While describing the Dushti associated with Shukra and Artava, Vagbhatacharya explained Kshina Shukra as a pathological condition caused by vitiated Vata and Pitta.
The present case study explains the role of Shodana aushadi and Shamana aushadi in the management of oligoasthenozoospermia. The patient has report of low sperm count and abnormal morphology was subjected to Ayurvedic management protocol initially Shodana treatment and then Shamana aushadi, administration of Satavari Kshira paka for 30 days.
This Ayurvedic treatment protocol including a combination of both Shodana and Shaman therapies were helpful in improving the seminal parameters like sperm count will increase from 10 million/ml to 90 million/ml, Actively motility increase from 0% to 30%, Moderately motility increase from 0% to 30%, Slightly motility increase from 10% to 20%, Non motile decrease from 90% to 20% and number of normal spermatozoa increase to 98%. Hence this approach can be considered in patients with low sperm count and motility.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Job Satisfaction from The Nurses' Perspective
Authors: Al-Ahmadi Ashwaq T. , Mahran Sabah M. 
Published: May 2022

research in Saudi Arabia has been published investigating organizational citizenship behavior among nurses. In addition, job satisfaction has been identified as the main solution to the high turnover rate among nurses in Saudi Arabia and one of the factors that could affect organizational citizenship behavior.
Aim: The current study aimed to determine the level of organizational citizenship behavior, assess the level of job satisfaction, and identify the relationship between organizational citizenship behaviors and job satisfaction from the nurses’ perspective.
Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional correlational study was conducted at the two largest government hospitals in Medina City, Saudi Arabia. A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 315 nurses. The study used an electronic self-reporting questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, an organizational citizenship behavior scale, and a nurse job satisfaction scale.
Results: In this study, the overall level of organizational citizenship behavior among nurses was high (3.86±0.35). The overall level of nurses' job satisfaction was medium (2.88±0.76). There was a statistically significant positive relationship between overall organizational citizenship behavior and overall job satisfaction among nurses (r = 0.354, p-value <0.01).
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that increasing the level of job satisfaction among nurses will increase their levels of organizational citizenship behavior. Therefore, healthcare organizations must focus on certain interventions that could increase nurses' jobs satisfaction, such as providing adequate remuneration, increasing the capacity of nursing schools, emphasizing psychological support and participative leadership, and improving the community’s perception of the nursing profession.
Relation between Resilience and Stress as Perceived by Nursing Students: A Scoping Review
Authors: Alatawi Amira O. , Morsy Nahed M. , Sharif Loujain S. 
Published: May 2022

Context: Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to psychological distress, emotional exhaustion, burnout, and impaired resilience in nursing students. However, resilience is known to mitigate the detrimental impacts of stress. Resilience plays a significant role in students' academic success and retention in academic nursing programs.
Aim: This review aimed to conduct a scoping review of the literature addressing the relationship between resilience and stress among nursing students.
Methods: A scoping review, based on PRISMA guidelines, of studies of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research designs that focus on resilience and stress relationships among nursing students. The search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Medline electronic databases, via the Saudi Digital Library. It included studies published during the last six years. For this review, publications about undergraduate nursing students only were considered. All the included studies were critically appraised using the critical appraisal tool.
Results: The screening method yielded 22 studies that met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Six main themes have emerged throughout this review which were: Sources of stress, resilience and stress levels among nursing students, the importance of resilience to nursing students, the relationship between stress and resilience, strategies to improve resilience in nursing students, and key variables in understanding resilience among nursing students.
Conclusion: This review synthesized the evidence relating to the relationship between resilience and stress among nursing students. Evidence highlighted the importance of resilience in dealing with nursing students' stressors in their academic and practical life. This review showed that the educational programs that focus on building and enhancing resilience among nursing students were disparate, and they were not of direct and significant impact on improving resilience. Therefore, further research on introducing interventional educational programs that target enhancing resilience among nursing students based on their personality is recommended.

Imagens do Empreendedorismo: Uso de Metáforas para a Pesquisa sobre o Fenômeno Empreendedor
Authors: José de Brito Mozar , Borges Alex Fernando 
Published: May 2022

Neste artigo, exploramos algumas metáforas aplicadas ao estudo do empreendedorismo. Para compor o corpus de análise, procurou-se priorizar textos acadêmicos que expressassem metaforicamente a articulação entre elementos teóricos oriundos do campo. Diante disso, foi possível particularizar, nesta leitura, as metáforas do empreendedorismo como processo, como prática e como rede, discutindo algumas implicações dessas abordagens para a pesquisa sobre o referido fenômeno. Para tanto, foram utilizados 38 textos como base para o percurso analítico percorrido para a apreensão das expressões metafóricas abordadas. Concluiu-se que o caráter reflexivo e crítico que as metáforas assumem pode contribuir para a problematização da ação empreendedora, particularizando entidades como o indivíduo empreendedor, a organização e o contexto, por um lado, e construções como os processos, as práticas e as redes empreendedoras, por outro. Busca-se, assim, estabelecer um caminho teórico-metodológico para trilhar em direção à constituição metafórica de “imagens do empreendedorismo”.

Authors: Thinguri Ruth , Philip Janet 
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Integration of ICT in educational management is becoming an effective factor in running schools in Kenya and yet there are many public secondary schools which are still stuck in the inefficient analogue methods in Kitui Central. The aim of this investigation was to look at the influence of principals’ digital communication literacy on ICT integration management outcomes in public secondary schools in Kitui Central Sub County, Kenya.
Methodology: The study was guided by Connectivism and Diffusion of Innovations theories. The study embraced the concurrent triangulation design. The target population was 301 participants which comprised of 50 principals, 200 Heads of departments, 50 BoM chairpersons and 1 ICT Sub County Director. The sample was 172 participants comprising of 28 principals, 115 HoDs, 28 BoM chairpersons and 1 ICT director. The principals were sampled using purposive sampling as well as the BoM chairpersons. The HoDs were randomly sampled. There was questionnaire for HoDs and and interview schedule for principals. Quantitative data was analyzed in descriptive statistics and presented in tables, frequencies and percentages. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and presented in verbatim citations as well narratives.
Findings: From the findings, it was accepted that most principals were familiar with computer operations. However, there were issues when it came to typesetting, Skype, organizing, copying, pasting and navigation of files using windows. Consequently, there was need to beef up digital communication among the principals.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The Connectivism and Diffusion of Innovations theories were used. The first one is about making decisions on the fast-changing realities while the second is on generalizing inventions in communities and accepting or rejecting them. The theories helped making decisions and accepting new changes. The study established that principals still lacked digital communication literacy, calling for more training in ICT. The theories were validated in that there was need to make decisions on new technology and more importantly, accept these changes like ICT. It was recommended that the government should put in place modalities of improving digital communication literacy.

Authors: Barbara Angela M. , MacDougall Danielle 
Published: May 2022

Four reports describing the potential clinical benefits of hub-and-spoke models of care for chronic pain were included in this report:

The single arm pre- and post- study of the Manage Your Pain Program described its impact on pain, depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life.
The retrospective cohort study of the Army and Navy Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes Pain described pharmacotherapy use.
The single-arm pre- and post-study of the Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes Pain in the University Health Network described pain, depression, and pharmacotherapy and health care use.
The comparative pre- and post-study of the Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes Pain in community health care centres described pharmacotherapy and health care use.

While all of the referenced models included central specialized care by hubs and core services by spokes, and the use of videoconferencing to provide chronic care education, the models were tailored, and the evaluation methods were heterogeneous.
No reports were identified that described the potential harms or the potential cost implications of hub-and-spoke models for the delivery of care for chronic pain.
