Authors: Nikolaou Eleni N. 
Published: September 2022

<p>This paper aims to discuss the role of family environment in distance learning. It presents the research conducted regarding parents’ views on distance learning, the way they experience it, the obstacles and the assets that are associated with distance learning. School-family collaborative relations are regarded crucial in enhancing students’ learning experience. Parents can contribute to their children’s learning by cultivating a positive relationship with their children, providing advice and guidance, organizing time, recording, and encouraging participation (motivation), teaching with the aim of supporting children. Parents can also supervise the completion of tasks and seek help when needed, time management, identifying students' needs, communication, and access to useful resources. It is important that parents understand the essential role that children play online. Parents need to be trained to organize their children's time, motivate students, and provide them with learning support when needed and make sure their child is learning. Finally, recommendations are presented about supporting students’ online learning by their parents.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0976/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2022

<p>Studies have shown that first-year medical students, experience psychological stress and, in some cases, mental illness due to new environments and stressful study regimes of the medical universities. An experimental study was conducted on first and next (2-3) year medical students of both genders. In the acute stress-recognized virtual model, participants were exposed to two increasing complexity visual tasks. Some derivative indices: correct answers in percent (CA%), reaction sustainability (RS), and functional ability level (FAL) were calculated based on the reaction time measures during simple and complex sensorimotor reactions (SSMRT, CSMRT). For statistical analysis ANOVA and Bonferroni correction t-test was used. No significant differences were found in mental activity between the two genders in 2-3 year medical students, except for CA% in the males' group during CSMRT which indicates that males concentrate well; There were significant differences in parameters of SSMRT (RS; CA%) and CSMRT (RS; FAL; CA%) between first-year males and females; Significant differences were found also in parameters of SSMRT (RS; CA%) and CSMRT (FAL; CA%) between first and next-year medical students in the females' group and no significant differences between first and next-year medical students in males group. Seems independent of gender, in 2-3 year medical students the sensorimotor and cognitive abilities are almost the same. The better mental performance parameters in the male group of first-year students can be explained only by the presence of certain stress in the female group, which can be related to the difficulty adapting to new environments and stressful learning regimes. In addition, male students are able to concentrate better compared to females on acute visual stress. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the psychophysiology of mental activity and further demonstrate how a virtual model can be used to investigate acute cognitive stress effects.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0447/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2022

Mandau is a sharp weapon like a machete that comes from the culture of the Dayak tribe in Kalimantan. Mandau itself has many types of carvings with different motifs in each typical Dayak tribe. The diversity of Dayak clumps and sub-tribes produces various types of Mandau, which are similar. Most Indonesians cannot distinguish between the existing variety of Mandau because of the information lack about Mandau. The study aims to identify Mandau types by applying Support Vector Machine (SVM) methods according to shape and texture feature extraction of image Mandau. Process of feature extraction using eccentricity, metric, contrast, correlation, energy, and homogeneity parameters. Six parameters obtained from the image feature extraction were used for the classification process. There are four kind of Mandau that used, such as Mandau Benuaq, Mandau Kenyah, Mandau Mahah, and Mandau Tunjung, with each Mandau 24 images, and the total data is 96. The implementation of the SVM method in identifying the type of Mandau using Linear Kernel, Gaussian / RBF Kernel, and Polynomial Kernel. The results indicated that when SVMs were used to identify Mandau images in split data, 80% of the training and 20% of the test data had the highest average accuracy of 82%. Based on the type of Kernel at 80:20 data split, the identification of the Mandau image using the Polynomial Kernel has the highest accuracy rate of 95%.
Influence of age of onset of psoriasis on prevalence and clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis (according to the registry of patients with psoriasis)
Authors: Kubanov A. A. , Bogdanova E. V. 
Published: September 2022

Сlinical, immunological and genetic differences between patients with early and late onset psoriasis are reported. Comparative studies of clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis according to age of psoriasis onset (skin manifestation) are lacking.Aim – to compare the prevalence and clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis depending on age of psoriasis onset (skin manifestation) in patients included to the psoriasis patient registry of Russian Society of Dermatovenereologists and Cosmetologists.Materials and methods. Prevalence of psoriatic arthritis in 3,227 patients with psoriasis aged 18 years and older was calculated. Comparison of the clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis according to the age of onset of psoriasis was performed on 916 patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.The U-test was used to compare quantitative variables. To identify the association between qualitative variables, the χ2 test was used; odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated, unadjusted and adjusted for other independent variables.Results. In the majority of patients (73%), psoriasis manifested before the age of 40. Psoriatic arthritis at the time of inclusion to the registry was diagnosed in 31.7% of patients with early onset psoriasis and in 19.5% of patients with late onset psoriasis (p=0.0005).The odds of having psoriatic arthritis were almost two times lower in patients with late onset psoriasis (p=0.0005). When adjusted for sex and age, the odds of having psoriatic arthritis among patients with late onset psoriasis became 4 times lower than in patients with early onset psoriasis (p=0.0005). However, when adjusted for sex and duration of psoriasis, the odds ratio lost its statistical significance.The axial involvement (32.1% vs 20.5%; p=0.003) and the involvement of foot joints (59.7% vs 51.5%; p=0.048) was more likely in patients with early onset psoriasis. The odds ratio for axial involvement was still statistically significant when adjusted for other independent variables.Conclusions. Age of onset of psoriasis before 40 years of age is associated with more frequent axial involvement in psoriatic arthritis.
Spaces and places in online learning: perspectives from students and staff
Authors: Reynolds Richard Henry , Sokolow Timothy 
Published: September 2022

This paper is based on work carried out by the two authors during the first six months of 2021 – a period by which the practices of online learning and teaching had become familiarized and - to some extent - even standardized in our institution, as in most others.
We are interested first and foremost in the online teaching space as a social space: as an environment designed to facilitate the interactions that adhibit learning and teaching. How suitable are the environments that we have created to achieving such outcomes? Is it reasonable - for example - to describe the environments in which we learn and teach online as ‘spaces’, using the same word (and in virtually the same sense) that we use to describe the familiar physical teaching spaces of bricks-and-mortar locations?

Our primary research involved bringing learners, teachers and digital specialists together into online learning spaces, and then inviting all those present to represent their experiences of the virtual space, using simple analogue tools: coloured pens and paper. The results of these workshops form the basis for this paper.
In our conclusion, we attempt to formulate some explanations for the emotionally-inflected nature of these representations of digital learning spaces. Using concepts and approaches from psycho-geography (Augé), social-actor theory (Emirbeyer and Mische) and pedagogic theory (Gourlay, Wenger-Trayner), we begin to outline what might need to happen to the online learning environment as a social space for its full potential and promise to be realised.

An Econometric Analysis of a Complementarity between profit-wage and capital-labour: Skill-Biased Technological Change in Indian Services Sector
Authors: Negi Vipin , Thakur Narender 
Published: September 2022

This paper econometrically tests a complementary between the profit-wage and capital-labour ratios in the Indian services sector for the period of 1999-2017. The higher surplus-value is examined in terms of higher labour productivity, lower employment and lower wages. Two specific policy implications are advocated to revamp the Indian services sector for its sustainable future: (i) there is a need to increase public investment in the Indian services sector to expand employment opportunities and wages, to address the issues of deficiency of aggregate demand; (ii) there is also a need to reverse the complementary between profit-wage and capital-labour ratio to a complementary between wage-profit and labour-capital ratios, as that can lead to stable and sustainable demand and supply in Indian economy.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionSeveral articles have examined the relationship of IL-4 receptor gene (IL-4R) polymorphisms with asthma, yet the results remain inconsistent. This may be attributed to the small sample sizes and polymorphism’s small effect size that fail to offer potent statistical power. Therefore, this meta-analysis on related studies was aimed at analyzing how IL-4R Q576R polymorphisms affected the asthma susceptibility.Material and methodsDatabases including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI and EMBASE were systematically searched for retrieving pertinent studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and the relevant 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were also calculated.ResultsCollectively, 12 eligible articles involving 1553 patients and 1904 normal subjects were subjected to analysis. There was no distinct relationship between IL-4R Q576R polymorphism and asthma susceptibility, in the entire study population (R vs Q: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.98–1.59; RQ vs QQ: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.98–1.49; RR vs QQ: OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 0.80–2.71; the recessive model: OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 0.80–2.40; the dominant model: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.98–1.60). Subgroup analysis, conducted based on ethnicity and study population, revealed no obvious interrelation.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated no relationship between IL-4R Q576R polymorphism and asthma susceptibility. More well-designed and large-scale studies are needed to validate the above findings.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe rational mental state of patients is necessary for the proper treatment of the disease. Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic disease that affects all spheres of the patient's life. If it is diagnosed, lifelong treatment is required. Background: The aim of our study was to assess life quality and satisfaction of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis depending on the duration of the disease.Material and methodsThe study was conducted among 198 women aged over 50 years with postmenopausal osteoporosis. For this purpose, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), QUALEFFO-41 and a self-authored questionnaire were used.ResultsThe surveyed women assessed their quality of life as moderate and obtained, according to the QUALEFFO-41 scale, an average score of 40.26 ± 16.92 points. The mean result of the level of satisfaction with life, assessed on the SWLS scale, was 19.37 ± 7.31 points, which proves moderate satisfaction with life. Age, education and marital status had a statistically significant impact on the quality of life. ). Life satisfaction was higher in older women as compared to younger subjectsConclusionsThe quality of life significantly worsens with the duration of osteoporosis in the respondents. These results emphasize the need to introduce psychological care and educational programs that would focus on women aged over 50 years.

Authors: Zhao Zhibin , He Kai , Xu Xian 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionTo explore the mechanism and clinical effect of acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy on premature ovarian failure.Material and methodsA total of 100 cases of POF were collected and divided into POF group and POF+acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy (POF+ACU) group. Cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients in each group were extracted by lumbar puncture, and exosomes were isolated and purified. The expression level of exosome protein NELL2 was analyzed by western blot, and the morphology of exosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The changes of sex hormone levels were detected by TOSOH AIA 1800 automatic chemiluminescence analyzer. Follicular development and ovulation were monitored by B-ultrasound.ResultsThe expression of protein CD9, CD81 and NELL2 in POF+ACU group all increased compared with POF group. TEM images showed that the exosomes were oval or round membranous vesicles. After 3 months of continuous acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy, it was found that the level of testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) in the POF+ACU group were significantly increased, while the follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were significantly decreased, showing a significant difference compared with the POF group. B-ultrasound observation of the endometrial thickness and the maximum follicle diameter showed that the values of POF+ACU group increased, showing no statistical difference compared with the NC group. Ovulation occurred in 20% of the 50 patients in the POF group and 70% in the POF+ACU treatment group.ConclusionsAcupoint selection and acupuncture therapy can treat POF by promoting the secretion of exosome protein NELL2

Children with acute leukemia often require platelet transfusions, but the platelet count frequently doesn't reach a satisfactory response, which is known as platelet refractoriness. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for platelet refractoriness after thrombocyte concentrate transfusion in children with acute leukemia. An analytical observational study with a prospective approach, with subjects with acute leukemia who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Analysis with Chi-square test; Odds Ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval, multivariate Backward Wald method with p<0.05. There were 30 subjects, consisting of 19 subjects (63.3%) with platelet refractoriness, 11 subjects (36.7%) did not have platelet refractoriness. The significant differences factors are fever, splenomegaly, and antibiotic use with p values of 0.007; 0.004, and 0.049. There was no difference between gender, sepsis, heavy bleeding, chemotherapy, history of thrombocyte concentrate transfusion, and immature platelet fraction with the incidence of platelet refractoriness (p>0.05). Splenomegaly had a 5.333 times greater probability of platelet refractoriness after thrombocyte concentrate transfusion compared to those without splenomegaly in children with acute leukemia, (p=0.008), (OR 5.333; 95% CI 1.554 – 18.304). Splenomegaly is a risk factor for platelet refractoriness after thrombocyte concentrates transfusion in children with acute leukemia.
