El juego es un recurso pedagógico esencial para el desarrollo integral del niño, ya que promueve el conocimiento de sí mismo, la autoconfianza y las habilidades de socialización. La ausencia de actividades lúdicas puede generar frustración, conductas disruptivas, egocentrismo y desmotivación y afecta negativamente el desarrollo socioemocional. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo implementar un programa de juego de roles para desarrollar habilidades socioemocionales en niños de educación inicial de la Escuela de Educación General Básica San Isidro Labrador, parroquia Picaihua, cantón Ambato. Con un enfoque cuantitativo y un diseño pre-experimental pretest-postest con un solo grupo longitudinal. El diagnóstico inicial mostró dificultades en dimensiones como adaptación, participación, seguridad y cooperación, lo que evidenció la necesidad de fortalecer estas áreas. La intervención, diseñada con base en estos resultados, se desarrolló durante 12 semanas, con actividades orientadas a mejorar habilidades como la empatía, la regulación emocional y el trabajo en equipo. Los resultados del post-test evidenciaron avances significativos en todas las dimensiones evaluadas, lo que destaca mejoras en la capacidad de adaptación, confianza, colaboración y comprensión emocional. Este estudio concluye que el juego de roles es una estrategia eficaz para fomentar el desarrollo socioemocional y constituye una herramienta valiosa en la educación inicial.

The psychological aspect of ultrarunning is of interest in sports medicine. Ultrarunners are described as mentally tough, and have been shown in studies to be goal oriented, and intrinsically motivated. It is unknown how the personality traits of this group compare to the general population. 734 ultramarathon runners participated in this large longitudinal study. Ultramarathon runners scored significantly lower in extroversion (3.74 vs 4.44, p<.0001), and agreeableness (5.10 vs 5.23, p=.0099) compared to a control population. They scored higher in conscientiousness (5.93 vs 5.4, p<.0001), and emotional stability (5.28 vs 4.83, p<.0001), while statistically similar in openness to experiences (5.33 vs 5.38, p=0.4174). The current study dimensions of relatively low agreeableness (competitive), and extroversion (able to stay within oneself), combined with relatively high conscientiousness (organized, goal-directed), and emotional stability (stable in stressful circumstance), quantify the differences between a large ultramarathon runner population and a control group.

ABSTRACT The optimization on the cloud-based data structures is carried out using Adaptive Level and Skill Rate-based Child Drawing Development Optimization algorithm (ALSR-CDDO). Also, the overall cost required in computing and communicating is reduced by optimally selecting these data structures by the ALSR-CDDO algorithm. The storage of the data in the cloud platform is performed using the Divide and Conquer Table (D&CT). The location table and the information table are generated using the D&CT method. The details, such as the file information, file ID, version number, and user ID, are all present in the information table. Every time data is deleted or updated, and its version number is modified. Whenever an update takes place using D&CT, the location table also gets upgraded. The information regarding the location of a file in the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) is given in the location table. Once the data is stored in the CSP, the auditing of the data is then performed on the stored data. Both dynamic and batch auditing are carried out on the stored data, even if it gets updated dynamically in the CSP. The security offered by the executed scheme is verified by contrasting it with other existing auditing schemes.

Background A growing body of evidence suggests a potential link between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and menstrual changes in women who were menstruating at the time of vaccination. Nevertheless, the prevalence of this event in those with secondary amenorrhea for different causes, i.e. formerly menstruating women, remains unclear. It is plausible that, analogous to those observed in currently menstruating women, they experienced some degree of alteration in their reproductive health, defined here as menstrual-related disturbances. Objective The aim was to analyze this phenomenon and identify the factors associated with the occurrence of menstrual-related disturbances in this subpopulation. Study design: A retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted among adult Spanish in December 2021 using an online survey (N = 17,512). The present analysis includes a subpopulation of vaccinated and formerly menstruating women (N = 548). General characteristics, medical history, and adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination were recorded. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U and McNemar mid-P tests were performed. Bivariate logistic regression was then used to identify the key factors influencing this unexpected event. Results In comparison with the first dose, significantly higher percentages of respondents experienced menstrual-related disturbances (dose 1: 38.5 percent vs. dose 2: 44.8 percent) after receiving the second one. Among them, those related to the length and flow stand out, being of long-term nature in about 17–20 percent of cases. Interindividual factors influencing this unexpected event after receiving the dose 1 may include weight, perimenopause, preexisting diagnoses of non-autoimmune rheumatic/articular conditions, use of hormonal contraceptives, suffering from other vaccine side effects − such as arm pain and the number of previous pregnancies; for dose 2, these factors may include suffering from menstrual-related alterations after receiving dose 1, as well as the use of hormonal contraceptives and perimenopause. Conclusion Formerly menstruating women might experience long-term menstrual-related disturbances following COVID-19 vaccination. Potential influencing factors include weight, perimenopause, rheumatic/articular conditions, hormonal contraceptives, vaccine side effects and previous pregnancies.

Occupational accidents pose a significant challenge to Malaysia’s SME manufacturing sector, a critical driver of the national economy. This study investigates the impact of safety attitude, safety training, and safety knowledge on operatives’ safety behaviour, exploring the mediating role of safety knowledge. Using a cross-sectional survey design and structural equation modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS, all three factors significantly influenced safety behaviour. Notably, safety attitude and training directly impact safety behaviour, while safety knowledge acts as a mediator, enhancing their positive effect. This research provides valuable insights for promoting a safer working environment within the SME manufacturing sector, underscoring the importance of cultivating positive safety attitudes, delivering effective training, and ensuring a robust foundation of safety knowledge among operatives.

Hipertensi merupakan kondisi kesehatan yang serius, dengan prevalensi yang terus meningkat, terutama di kalangan usia muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risiko yang berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan tekanan darah di kalangan mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Muslim Indonesia pada tahun 2024. Metode observasional cross-sectional digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data melalui kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada 96 responden. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa faktor konsumsi lemak dan konsumsi alkohol memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan hipertensi, sedangkan faktor usia, jenis kelamin, riwayat keluarga, konsumsi garam, merokok, obesitas, dan aktivitas fisik tidak menunjukkan hubungan signifikan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan mengenai pencegahan hipertensi di kalangan generasi muda.

ABSTRACT Child marriage is a global phenomenon where one in six girls aged under 19 are married as child brides that are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, in which girls are disproportionately affected by this practice. This study aimed to provide reliable numbers and descriptions of child marriages in Indonesia during the pandemic for the stakeholders in planning necessary actions. New child marriage dispensation application numbers in 2019, 2020 and 2021 were 24,865, 64225 and 62,890 cases, respectively. Up to 65% of new applications in 2019–2021 were consistently registered in six provinces in Java. However, the top-rank provinces with the rise of new applications in 2020 and 2021 when compared to records in 2019 were from outside Java. The skyrocketing number of child marriages during the pandemic, up to 2.5 times, should be taken seriously by the stakeholders with a focus on areas with high poverty percentages and girl populations.
