Authors: Balijon Meshel B. , Abulon Edna Luz R. 
Published: May 2022

There is the need to have an in-depth exploration of these highly intelligent college students in order to have a framework for counseling intervention specifically for them. The intentions were to understand and describe the challenges, coping mechanisms and insights of these participants. The research method being utilized in this study was qualitative, using a case study design. The researchers employed purposive sampling based on the characteristics or criteria stipulated in this study which means that there were existence of specific characteristics or criteria that manifested as being highly intelligent. The researchers decided to focus more on six (6) first year college students of the said locale, ages 18-19 years old from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Teacher Education and College of Nursing departments. The researchers made use of inclusive criteria: IQ test results, Entrance Tests Results and Senior High Scholastic Report Cards in order to determine students who manifest being highly intelligent. Inclusion Criteria of being highly intelligent were sought: IQ of 120 and above or 90 to 99 in the percentile range; then entrance test results should have a general average of 90 to 99 and for the senior high school report card it should show a General Point Average of 90 or above. Findings highlight a need to; 1) establish a contextualized challenge that will generate validity of the needs of the participants, 2) research should assess the effects of challenges by associating coping mechanisms, which implies the subsequent development of a framework for counseling interventions, and 3) assess interventions to enhance understanding of the ways in which they improve coping with pressure, or may fail and the mechanisms which may explain these outcomes. However, guidance counselors cannot intervene with the needs of these highly intelligent students because they do not know how to address their needs. Hence, they must be equipped to give such help and should very well know the needs of these highly intelligent college students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Aivie O. Tobias , Murcia John Vianne B. 
Published: May 2022

<p>The decision to buy smartphones comes with the consideration of several factors, especially among millennials who have been known to be very painstaking when it comes to smartphone specs. With this, this study was conducted to provide a scenario of how millennials behave when it comes to buying smartphones and identify the relative importance of the features or attributes (battery, screen size, storage, storage space and main camera resolution) in determining millennials’ best and least-preferred models of a smartphone. A total of N=400 millennials responded to a market survey that employed twenty (20) software-generated plancards. Using metric conjoint analysis (a marketing research technique), this study found out that as far as millennials in Digos City are concerned, the screen size of a smartphone is the most important attribute, while the battery of a smartphone is the least important attribute. On aggregate, a smartphone with 6 inches screen size is most preferred, while a smartphone that has a non-removable battery is the least preferred attribute level. The additive model of conjoint analysis further revealed that the most preferable smartphone is one that has a removable battery, with 6” screen size, has a microSD slot storage, with 64 GB storage space and 12 megapixels as main camera resolution, while the least preferred combination is one that has a removable battery, 4” screen size, no microSD slot storage, 16 GB storage space and 16-megapixel main camera resolution. Implications of this market research are also discussed.</p><p>JEL: D01; D40; D83; L63</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ONLINE EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC - OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES: A CASE STUDY IN THE SOUTH OF VIETNAM
Authors: Nhi Huynh Nhu Yen , Nhan Truong Trong 
Published: May 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has led all Vietnamese students to study at home since 2021. Therefore, a number of universities in Vietnam have shifted to online learning platforms to keep their academic activities going. The challenge is whether learners can absorb all knowledge through online learning? Between the two learning platforms, traditional and modern, what will be the impact on learners? and what needs to change in teachers? Therefore, in order to have an overview and partly clarify the questions of education 4.0, the authors carried out this research among 200 Vietnamese students to highlight the significance of online education. The results indicated that the majority of the respondents (91%) are willing to online classes to manage their studies during a time of the global pandemic. The respondents claimed that the convenience and flexibility of online classrooms make it the right option while students’ self-discipline and broadband connectivity matters in rural areas make it a challenge for most students when taking advantage of online classrooms.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
SPECIAL NUTRIONAL NEEDS FOR ATHLETES AND EXERCISERS
Authors: Tambalis Konstantinos D. 
Published: May 2022

The main goal of this narrative review was to incorporate the recent scientific knowledge on the special nutritional needs that are necessary for specific populations of athletes and exercisers (e.g., children, females, vegans) under several training conditions and sports, in addition to proper recommendations for safe administration. The association between nutrition, exercise, and health is an essential part of athletes' and exercisers' competitive and training programs. The quality, quantity, composition, and timing of food consumption are significant to make sure that athletes could train more efficiently to decrease the risk of illness and injury. Athletes who deteriorate their energy intake or use uncontrolled weight loss practices, eliminate certain food groups from their diet, or follow other extreme nutritional philosophies, are at greater risk for micronutrient deficiencies. Fluid intake before, during, and after exercise training or/and competition is significant, particularly in specific circumstances such as hot climates, altitude, etc. Vegetarian and vegan athletes may be at higher risk for low energy, protein, fat, creatine, carnosine, omega-3 fatty acids, as well as essential micronutrients such as iron, calcium, riboflavin, zinc, and β12. Athletes should be adequately informed about the proper use of sports nutrition and ergogenic supplements. These products should only be used after careful evaluation for safety, efficacy, effectiveness, and compliance with relevant legislation. The most significant point to achieving complete and effective nutrition among travelling athletes is planning and preparation while eating properly and hydrated could decrease the potential adverse effects of jet lag and long flights. An effective, healthy, targeted, and complete diet among athletes of different sports should make available sufficient amounts of energy, protein, and carbohydrates depending on the specific sport to make certain sustained exercise training performance and to maintain and improve exercise performance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Ihechu Innocent Paschal , Umeh Kobimdi Cordelia , Ekweonu Chinedu Lawrence 
Published: May 2022

This study investigated the challenges of child rights reporting in Nigerian media. It aimed at understanding the challenges as directly perceived and encountered by the key players in media content production; the journalists. To achieve the objective of this study, two research approaches were adopted – survey and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The participants for the study were drawn from the list of all registered journalists in Anambra State numbering 456. The study found out that reporting child rights issues in Nigerian media proved to be a herculean task as journalists are faced with a plethora of challenges ranging from media ownership policies to cultural and religious beliefs which do not conform to the Child Rights Acts. Suggestions that entail active participation of the various stakeholders in child care and development; the media, religious leaders, parents and the government were proffered by the journalists themselves as the best possible panacea to curb the identified challenges. On that basis, the study proposes government interventions on strict and uniform implementation of the Child Rights Acts across all states of the federation as well as media policies that prioritize child rights issues in their media contents.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0917/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

During the last few years India has maximum increase of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. There are approximate 72.96 million cases of diabetes mellitus in adult population of India. In modern era single anti-diabetic drug is not sufficient for glucose control. These days multidrug therapy is building its popularity for maintaining glycaemic levels. A 59-year-old female presented with known case of Type 2 diabetes with evidence of polyuria, itching over extremities, and fatigue was poorly controlled despite a drug regimen consisting of oral metformin and glimepiride. Her Blood Sugar level was constantly around 200 mg/dl in spite of having modern medicine with adjusted doses. She has administered Nisha-Amalaki Churna with warm water early in the morning along with standard conventional treatment for 8 weeks. The effect of therapy was evaluated at the interval of 4 weeks for 8 weeks which is done on the basis of objective parameters. Objective parameters were fasting and post prandial Blood Sugar Level. Nisha-Amalaki churna has reduced Blood Sugar Level to normal. It also reduced the dose of conventional drug which may cause side effects with long term use. There is a need for combined multidisciplinary treatment to maintain suggested glycaemic control. Thus, the present case study is to understand the significant effect of Nisha-Amalaki as an adjuvant to standard conventional treatment in chronic uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Authors: Al amin Ruqayyah M. K. , Alaamri Marym M. , Alhofaian Aisha M. 
Published: May 2022

Context: Diabetic foot is considered one of the most preventable complications among patients with diabetes mellitus. This problem is correlated with premature death and severe morbidity because of major long-term complications which affect patients' feet.
Aim: This review aims to identify the extent of current evidence regarding the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of diabetic patients about foot care.
Methods: Studies published in the period from 2013 to 2020 were evaluated. International electronic databases such as Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase Classic, EMBASE (Ovid), The Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), The Cochrane Library (Wiley), and CINAHL and (EBSCO) were explored to find articles written in English-language using relevant keywords. All quantitative studies that focused on the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding diabetic foot care among diabetic patients have been searched.
Results: There are two main themes generated from this scoping review and seven subthemes. In this scoping review, 845 articles were searched. After checking for duplicates, 815 papers were left to evaluate titles and abstracts. This evaluation left 52 articles for reading of full texts. Of these, 21 papers did not meet the aim. Thirty-one studies were included in the present review.
Conclusion: Patients' knowledge, practices, and attitude toward foot care were not considered satisfactory in most study settings included in this review. Several factors affect patients' knowledge, attitude, and practices, including gender, income, age of patients, marital status, and educational level. Specific health education programs should be targeted toward patients with diabetes mellitus to enhance and improve their knowledge and practices regarding protecting them from future harmful complications as diabetic foot.

Published: May 2022

Context: The routine practice of positioning is a vital procedure in critical care units, especially when prophylaxis is the aim. For many years, nurses have recognized that positioning prevents skin breakdown, mobilizes secretions, and provides comfort without identifying the impact of different positioning strategies on pulmonary gas exchange and ventilator weaning outcomes.
Aim: The current study was conducted to assess the effect of positioning on oxygenation and hemodynamics among patients on mechanical ventilation.
Methods: This study was conducted in the medical intensive care unit at El-Demerdash hospital, affiliated to Ain-Shams University. A descriptive exploratory study design was utilized in this study. A purposive sample of 93 patients was recruited in the present study. A structured interview questionnaire and patient assessment record were employed to collect data related to this study.
Results: The results reveal that 39.8% of the studied patients’ age was between 45-<65, 30.1% had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Oxygenation significantly decreases in the supine position at p 0.003 and increases in the semi-recumbent position at p 0.020. Heart rate is significantly increased in semi-recumbent position at p<0.005. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased in semi-recumbent positions at p<0.010 and p=0.021, respectively, at T30, T60, and T120.
Conclusion: Regarding oxygenation and hemodynamics, the results of this study concluded that the best oxygenation was in semi-recumbent position T120. Regarding hemodynamics, heart rate is significantly increased in the left lateral and semi-recumbent positions. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly affected by positioning. The time of changing position should be reviewed to be compatible with the most effective position for mechanically ventilated patients considering the patient oxygenation and hemodynamic states.
