Acceptable Form Research Articles

Моделирование образовательной традиции в современном университете

The article is devoted to the problem of correlation between the educational tradition of Russian society and the educational models formed in the course of historical development. According to the author, the center for the creation of these models is the university environment, in which these models are saturated with certain con-tent, and an educational tradition is created. It is there that the personnel capable of transmitting the educational model into all spheres of public life are trained. Thus, the model turns out to be primary in relation to the trans-formation of the educational tradition. Therefore, universities remain unique repositories of historical memory, providing acceptable forms of its transmission in the educational environment. The Russian educational tradi-tion can be characterized by three main educational models, the analysis of which is still a scientific problem. The article highlights the main characteristics of the pre-revolutionary and Soviet educational models, and ex-amines the problems of development of the post-Soviet model of education. As conclusions of the study, such a basis for a new educational model as the domestic concept of “common cause” is proposed for develop-ment. It is expected that this will allow uniting the efforts of all interested social strata and population groups in the transformation of the Russian educational tradition.

Parenting practices and adolescents’ mental health: Serial mediation by parental acceptance and adolescents’ grit

ABSTRACT This quantitative cross-sectional study assessed the serial mediation effect of perceived parental acceptance and adolescents’ grit on the relationship between effective parenting practices and adolescents’ mental health. A total of 761 school-going adolescents (468 females; aged 13–18 years) from the Klang Valley area were recruited using purposive sampling method. They completed the Perceived Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Short Grit Scale, Alabama Parenting Questionnaire, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. PROCESS macro analysis revealed that the relationship between paternal and maternal effective parenting practices and adolescents’ mental health were independently mediated by both perceived parental acceptance and adolescents’ grit. This shows that effective parenting practices used by fathers and mothers help in reducing adolescents’ mental health issues as effective parenting is perceived as a form of acceptance and is able to improve grittiness in adolescents. Moreover, a serial mediation analysis found that higher usage of effective parenting practices in fathers and mothers are perceived for higher acceptance, contributing to higher grittiness, which then lowers mental health issues in adolescents. Our results suggest that organizations and individuals involved with adolescents should actively promote the adoption of effective parenting techniques by both mothers and fathers to enhance the mental well-being of adolescents.

The European Investment Bank to the rescue? COVID-related lending as incremental change

ABSTRACT The European Investment Bank (EIB) was officially part of a coordinated European Union (EU) strategy to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we argue that despite the worst socio-economic crisis to hit most European countries since the Second World War, the EIB failed to deviate from a set path that delimited acceptable forms of lending. We apply a historical institutionalist analysis to explain how and why the EIB continued to engage in principally low risk lending activities via the commercial banking sector, and failed to significantly increase lending to the public health sector.

Designing assessment funds for the bachelor's degree program «art education in visual arts»: problems and solutions

Introduction. The research of tools for assessing the achieved educational results and the effectiveness of the educational process is a necessary mechanism for improving the quality of education and educational systems. Despite the accumulated experience in the formation of funds of assessment tools, the problem of assessing the formation of general professional and professional competencies of students, taking into account the specifics of the educational programme, remains relevant. The aim of the research: the search for procedures, types of tasks and the development of a model of complex FOS, allowing to assess the formation of all levels of competences of professional training of an art-pedagogue, including those reflecting the formation of competence in the field of visual arts. Materials and methods. The research materials were normative documents regulating the design and implementation of higher education programmes; Russian and foreign studies; survey data of 187 teachers of the Herzen State Pedagogical University. Methods: analysis of sources and regulatory documents, survey, quantitative assessment of data (percentages), typical selection. Results. The analysis of normative documents and theoretical sources revealed a contradiction between the need to standardise assessment procedures and the specifics of assessing the competences of an art-pedagogue. The results of the survey of teachers confirm this contradiction: the most acceptable form of objective assessment of competences is an oral test/exam (75.4%), practical assignment (70.1%). Among the main problems of designing assessment funds, teachers highlight the assessment of validity and reliability of the Funds of Assessment Tools (57.2%) and the possibility of assessing the competence as a whole (54%). The analysis of the research materials allowed the authors to propose a comprehensive model of assessment funds, including structural, content and assessment components. The proposed structure, logic of organisation and types of tasks (tests, professional tasks of artistic and creative disciplines, etc.), including invariant and variant parts of tasks for independent work, are the basis for valid assessment of the formation of all levels of competences, including professional ones, reflecting the specificity of training of art-pedagogues. Conclusion. The results of the analysis, the proposed model, procedures, types of assignments, and the described recommendations can be used in the design of funds of assessment tools for educational programmes of higher education in the context of training an art-pedagogue.

Kognitiv atferdsterapi for spiseforstyrrelser

Background: Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) in clinical settings with a transdiagnostic patient population. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT-E in a specialised outpatient eating disorder clinic in southeastern Norway. Method: The study involved a transdiagnostic sample of 96 patients (age 30.7 (SD = 9.4), 92.7% women) with longstanding eating disorders and previous failed treatment attempts. We used multilevel modelling to examine change in eating disorder pathology from pre-treatment (T1) to post-treatment (T2) and follow-up 25 weeks later (T3). A total of 57 patients had sufficient data at T2 and 35 patients at T3. Results: We found statistically significant reductions in eating disorder pathology from pre- to post-treatment. Of those who completed treatment, 49.1% met criteria for remission at post-treatment. These changes were stable at follow-up. Implications: CBT-E may lead to reductions in eating disorder pathology and should be considered an acceptable form of treatment for adult patients with eating disorders. Keywords: anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, cognitive behaviour therapy, eating disorders, effectiveness

Literature Review: Pengaruh Terapi Musik Terhadap Lama Persalinan Kala I Fase Aktif

Psychological factors can influence the progress of the labor process. Music therapy is preferred as a non-pharmacological intervention because it has no side effects and benefits as self-hypnosis. This study aims to decide the effect of music therapy on the duration of labor during the active phase. Through the research design using literature research (literature review). Sources of data obtained through analysis of 11 journals through national and international database searches, in the last 10 years (2010-2020), using quality assessment methods and PICOT. The results obtained showed that music had an influence on the duration of labor during the active phase. This is possible due to adequate contractions caused by the workings of music which affect the hypothalamic system in the mother's brain, as a form of acceptance of the intervention given. It was concluded that music therapy has a significant effect on the duration of labor during the first active phase.

Mediport use as an acceptable standard for CAR T cell infusion.

Mediport use as a clinical option for the administration of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapy in patients with B-cell malignancies has yet to be standardized. Concern for mediport dislodgement, cell infiltration, and ineffective therapy delivery to systemic circulation has resulted in variable practice with intravenous administration of CAR T cell therapy. With CAR T cell commercialization, it is important to establish practice standards for CAR T cell delivery. We conducted a study to establish usage patterns of mediports in the clinical setting and provide a standard of care recommendation for mediport use as an acceptable form of access for CAR T cell infusions. In this retrospective cohort study, data on mediport use and infiltration rate was collected from a survey across 34 medical centers in the Pediatric Real-World CAR Consortium, capturing 504 CAR T cell infusion routes across 489 patients. Data represents the largest, and to our knowledge sole, report on clinical CAR T cell infusion practice patterns since FDA approval and CAR T cell commercialization in 2017. Across 34 sites, all reported tunneled central venous catheters, including Broviac® and Hickman® catheters, as accepted standard venous options for CAR T cell infusion. Use of mediports as a standard clinical practice was reported in 29 of 34 sites (85%). Of 489 evaluable patients with reported route of CAR T cell infusion, 184 patients were infused using mediports, with no reported incidences of CAR T cell infiltration. Based on current clinical practice, mediports are a commonly utilized form of access for CAR T cell therapy administration. These findings support the safe practice of mediport usage as an accepted standard line option for CAR T cell infusion.

Statement authenticity and “sign functioning” in communication between “deaf-blind and regular persons” (based on O. Skorokhodova’s works)

The article is devoted to the problem of communication between subjects, one of which is deaf-blind person, and «the Other» (others) is (are) sighted-hearing person(s). The aim is to identify discursive practices and semiotic mechanisms behind them that provide the possibility of communication and determine the possibility of being understood by «the Other»» on the example of the work of O. Skorokhodova. It is shown that the subject faces the following issue: a) to contemplate something and to translate it into a categories and forms understandable to the subject himself and matching with the categories of «the Other»»; b) discursively formalize your experience; c) make it representable to «the Other». It has been proven that the only acceptable form of communication is an appeal to the language of «the Other». It is proved that poetry becomes an epistemological practice - the experience of perceiving something that is inaccessible to the senses of a deaf-blind subject (if the object itself cannot be perceived directly, the experience of its perception is constructed). The construction of the experience of perception occurs not through interaction with the object itself, but through interaction with the description of the subject. It is proved that communication includes the delegation of the zone of perception to «the Other». A substance of relationship between a sign and a "reality" replaced by the sign was revealed; the following types of signs are distinguished: signs that distort "a reality"; signs that "confuse a reality"; signs that do not refer to a reality and / or block a reality; signs that are in complex “accidental-associative” relations with a reality. A new model of semiosis for communication of subjects, one of which is deaf-blind-mute, and «the Other» (others) is (are) sighted-hearing(s), is proposed. As a result of the work, the stages of search ways of authentic communication are revealed.

Single Lung Transplant for Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension: The Right Option for the Right Patient.

Introduction: The optimal treatment for Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension from End-Stage Lung Disease remains controversial. Double Lung Transplantation is widely regarded as the treatment of choice as it eliminates all diseased parenchyma and introduces a large volume of physiologically normal allograft. By comparison, the role of single lung transplantation for pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is less clear. The remaining diseased lung will limit clinical improvements and permit downstream sequelae; including residual cough, recurrent infection, and continued pulmonary hypertension. But not every patient can undergo DLT. Advanced age, frailty, co-morbid conditions, and limited availability of organs will all affect surgical candidacy and can offset the benefits of double lung procedures. Studies that compare SLT and DLT do not commonly explore the utility of single lung procedures even though multiple theoretical advantages exist; including reduced waiting times, less waitlist mortality, fewer surgical complications, and lower operative mortality. Worse, multiple forms of publication and selection bias may favor DLT in registry-based studies. In this review, we present the prevailing literature on single and double lung transplants in patients with secondary pulmonary hypertension and clarify the potential utility of these procedures. Materials and Methods: A PubMed search for English-language articles exploring single and double lung transplants in the setting of secondary pulmonary hypertension was conducted from 1990 to 2023. Key words included "single lung transplant", "double lung transplant", "pulmonary hypertension", "rejection", "complications", "extracorporeal membranous oxygenation", "death", and all appropriate Boolean operators. We prioritized research from retrospective studies that evaluated clinical outcomes from single centers. Conclusions: The question is not whether DLT is better at resolving lung disease; instead, we must ask if SLT is an acceptable form of therapy in a select group of high-risk patients. Further research should focus on how best to identify recipients that may benefit from each type of procedure, and the clinical utility of perioperative VA ECMO.

Cultural safety in telehealth consultations with Indigenous people: A scoping review of global literature.

Telehealth has become increasingly routine within healthcare and has potential to reduce barriers to care, including for Indigenous populations. However, it is crucial for practitioners to first ensure that their telehealth practice is culturally safe. This review aims to describe the attributes of culturally safe telehealth consultations for Indigenous people as well as strategies that could promote cultural safety. A scoping review was conducted on key features of cultural safety in telehealth for Indigenous people using the Johanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and PRISMA-ScR checklist. Five electronic databases were searched, and additional literature was identified through handsearching. A total of 649 articles were screened resulting in 17 articles included in the review. The central themes related to the provision of culturally safe telehealth refer to attributes of the practitioner: cultural and community knowledge, communication skills and the building and maintenance of patient-provider relationships. These practitioner attributes are modified and shaped by external environmental factors: technology, the availability of support staff and the telehealth setting. This review identified practitioner-led features which enhance cultural safety but also recognised the structural factors that can contribute, both positively and negatively, to the cultural safety of a telehealth interaction. For some individuals, telehealth is not a comfortable or acceptable form of care. However, if strategies are undertaken to make telehealth more culturally safe, it has the potential to increase opportunities for access to care and thus contribute towards reducing health inequalities faced by Indigenous peoples.

Caregiver's perceptions of COVID-19 vaccination, and intention to vaccinate their children against the disease: a questionnaire based qualitative study.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine side effects have an important role in the hesitancy of the general population toward vaccine administration. Another reason for vaccine hesitancy might be that healthcare professionals may not address their concerns regarding vaccines appropriately. Regardless, hesitancy in the form of delay, refusal, or acceptance with doubts about its usefulness can limit the downward trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the authors conducted a national cross-sectional study (n=306) to assess causes and concerns for vaccine hesitancy in caregivers in Pakistan toward getting their children vaccinated. The questions identified caregivers by socioeconomic demographics, perceived COVID-19 pandemic severity, and concerns toward the COVID-19 vaccine. The majority of the participants were 45-59 years of age (42.8%) with a mean age of 36.11 years (SD: 7.81). A total of 80% of these participants were willing to vaccinate their child with any COVID-19 vaccine. Present comorbidities had a frequency of 28.4% (n=87/306) and only 26.9% (n=66/245) participants were willing to vaccinate their child. Participants with high social standing were 15.4% (n=47/306) with the majority of them being willing to vaccinate their children (45/47). Socioeconomic status (OR:2.911 [0.999-8.483]), and the child's vaccinations being up to date (OR:1.904 [1.078-3.365]) were found to be independent factors for caregivers to be willing to vaccinate their child. Around 62% (n=191/306) were not willing to vaccinate due to the concern for side effects, 67.6% (n=207/306) were not willing because they did not have ample information available, and 51% (n=156/306) were not willing as they were concerned about vaccine effectiveness. Further studies on vaccine safety in the pediatric population are required to improve caregivers' perceptions.

Boosting systemic absorption of peptides with a bioinspired buccal-stretching patch.

Biopharmaceuticals, including proteins and peptides, have revolutionized the treatment of a wide range of diseases, from diabetes and cardiovascular disorders to virus infections and cancer. Despite their efficacy, most of these macromolecular drugs require parenteral administration because of their high molecular weight and relative instability. Over the past 40 years, only a few oral peptide drugs have entered clinical trials, even when formulated with substantial amounts of permeation enhancers. To overcome the epithelial barrier, devices that inject drugs directly into the gastrointestinal mucosa have been proposed recently. However, the robustness and safety of those complex systems are yet to be assessed. In this study, we introduced an innovative technology to boost drug absorption by synergistically combining noninvasive stretching of the buccal mucosa with permeation enhancers. Inspired by the unique structural features of octopus suckers, a self-applicable suction patch was engineered, enabling strong adhesion to and effective mechanical deformation of the mucosal tissue. In dogs, this suction patch achieved bioavailability up to two orders of magnitude higher than those of the commercial tablet formulation of desmopressin, a peptide drug known for its poor oral absorption. Moreover, systemic exposure comparable to that of the approved oral semaglutide tablet was achieved without further optimization. Last, a first-in-human study involving 40 healthy participants confirmed the dosage form's acceptability, thereby supporting the clinical translatability of this simple yet effective platform technology.

Perception of socio-economic and political situation in Russia by student youth of the southern region (based on regional studies)

The relevance of researching the perception of socio-economic and political processes in the country by the youth is driven by a social demand to understand the readiness of young people to participate in the country’s economic development, its political life, acceptable forms of migration and civic behaviour, and the level of protest potential. The aim of this article is to identify the interconnection of trends in evaluations by student youth regarding the socio-economic and socio-political situation with characteristics such as dependence on socio-psychological well-being, financial status, trust levels in political institutions and the political course, migration and protest attitudes. The empirical basis of the analysis comprises data from studies conducted among student youth of the Southern region of Russia from 2017 to 2022 by the Southern Russian branch of the FCTAS RAS. The analysis revealed the ambivalence of the state of public consciousness among student youth, both in their assessment of the socio-economic situation and the socio-political position in the country. Despite students’ uncertain future perceptions, their migration attitudes have hardly changed compared to 2017, aligning with nationwide tendencies. It was established that the student youth of the Southern region of Russia does not display significant interest in politics (similar to the broader Russian population), yet concurrently expresses a higher level of personalised trust in the President of Russia and the military, more so than in the overall political direction of the authorities. Ideas of social justice, freedom of speech, and expressing political stance resonate with students from the Southern region of Russia, as well as fostering friendly relations with the West. A trend was identified over the last 5 years of reduced ratings in the ability to express political views while having a high level of legal consciousness, alongside a growth in the acceptability of unlawful forms of protest due to increasing distrust in the government and its political course.

The impact of the integration of telemedicine in a community psychiatry outpatient program during Covid-19

Our study aims to describe the impact of transitioning to telemedicine care during the Covid-19 pandemic in a community psychiatry program. This was a retrospective study comparing no show rates and hospitalization rates pre and post adoption of telemedicine services, as well as evaluating patient satisfaction with telemedicine services. We found that there was a small but significant decrease in the no show rate following the adoption of telemedicine. We found no significant difference in the monthly hospitalization rate. The majority of patients surveyed liked using telemedicine and most preferred it to in-person visits. Patients identified convenience of telemedicine as a major benefit to this format and lack of privacy as a drawback. Telemedicine is an acceptable form of service delivery among this patient population. It decreased no show rates and did not increase hospitalizations. The use of this service delivery model could enhance the patient experience, but consideration should be given to how and when it is used.

From Safe Spaces to Sacred Spaces: Chicanx/Latinx After-School Youth Development and Transformational Resistance

This ethnographic case study examines how a social justice-based after-school (AS) youth leadership development program became a space for youth participants to develop a critique of social oppression and motivation for social justice action. Research demonstrates that youth development programs and models that cultivate agency among Youth of Color directly contribute to Positive Youth Developmental (PYD) outcomes (Larson, 2006), and are an effective intervention strategy for youth at high risk of school pushout. However, few studies specifically examine the factors that prompt engaged Chicanx-Latinx AS youth participants to develop a resistance behavior that reflects a critique of social oppression and motivation for social justice—Transformational Resistance (Solórzano & Bernal, 2001). In this article, I explain how youth participants explicitly cited how creating “safe spaces” and chosen-familial bonds through femtoring/mentoring relationships cultivated transformational resistance outcomes. I conclude by discussing how the Black Panther Mentorship Program (BPMP), a social justice-based AS youth program, transcended the traditional notions of safe spaces and transformed into a sacred space because it gave youth participants holistic forms of unconditional acceptance, acknowledgment, and interconnectedness. As a result, BPMP youth’s connection to sacred spaces enabled them to overcome personal and educational barriers.

399 The MDT Game: Implementation of a Novel Simulation Exercise to Improve Multidisciplinary Care Teaching to Medical Students

Abstract Background Multidisciplinary team (MDT) medicine is the national gold standard for cancer care. Medical students are often encouraged to observe MDTs, however such meetings discuss a high volume of complex cases at rapid pace. This presents limited opportunities for learning or engagement for a student observer. We describe a novel teaching exercise which assigns students to roles on a simulated MDT, with the aim of improving understanding of collaborative MDT working. Method A simulation exercise was devised which assigned individual students to one of ten roles on a gastrointestinal cancer MDT. Each student was given information about a fictional patient which pertained to their role and encouraged to discuss management options as a group. Student feedback was sought to assess understanding of MDTs and teaching quality of both the simulation exercise and observation of a formal MDT meeting. Results Sixty-five students provided feedback on both the simulation exercise and the facilitated MDT observation session. Most students (78%) rated the simulation exercise as either “good” (40%) or “excellent” (38%), with a statistically significant improvement in mean score for the role-play compared to formal MDT observation (mean difference 0.46, p<0.001, 95% CI 0.23-0.69). Fifty-three students (82%) reported that participation in the simulation exercise improved their understanding of MDTs. Conclusions Multidisciplinary care teaching can be delivered to medical students in an acceptable form using principles of simulation-based training. Potential further developments for simulated MDTs include use of anonymised patient data to create more authentic vignettes and use of parallel pre- and post-test questions to assess learning.

Організаційно-економічне забезпечення розвитку міських парків на засадах сталості

City parks have a high demand from visitors, and limited areas to meet all needs. Despite the fact that modern cities are the most acceptable form of human coexistence, in most cases their environment and lifestyle are not natural for humans. Therefore, green spaces remain desirable centers of nature, and we can see especially extraordinary attention to their arrangement in megacities. The more the urban environment contrasts with the natural, the more meaningful parks are for city dwellers. Therefore, awareness of the role of green spaces in achieving sustainable development of cities becomes relevant. The article offers the author's vision of achieving sustainable development of cities through the organization of city parks. The practical significance of the article lies in the proposal of implementation of tasks related to the development of city parks at different levels of territorial organization, which allows to comprehensively solve the task of sustainable development of cities.

‘Danger: Children at Play’: Uncanny Play in Stephen King’s Pet Sematary

Representations of play abound in Stephen King’s 1983 novel Pet Sematary and its 1989 and 2019 subsequent film adaptations. However, play in Pet Sematary is not representative of the innocent actions designed to create functioning adults who meaningfully contribute to society. In the 1989 film, for example, “play” for a newly resurrected Gage is a version of hide-and-go-seek resulting in the death of neighbour Jud. Meanwhile, the 2019 adaptation sees a newly resurrected Ellie “playing” in her dirt-stained white funereal dress. These dirt stains become markers of lost innocence and transform her dance into an uncanny performance. Since Gage and Ellie are both somewhat monstrous child figures, their play, like their bodies, is transformed into something unsettling and ventures into the realm of the uncanny. However, play itself is also performed differently between the adaptations because the central child figure also changes. In the 1989 film, it is a male toddler, and in the 2019 film, it is a pre-pubescent female. Both adaptations focus on ideal, socially acceptable forms of play according to the time in which the film was made as well as how children diverge from these behaviours. Play is often rendered dangerous when not performed properly according to the paradigms of age and gender, resulting in what I call ‘uncanny play’. When children engage with ‘uncanny play’, the adults in the narrative are permitted to execute the children for the sake of preserving the memory of them as innocent beings, or what I call the ‘Save the Child’ discourse. Linda Hutcheon argues that ‘when we adapt […] we actualize or concretize ideas’, so that the socially acceptable play put forth in King’s novel becomes more realised and thus more at risk to transgression in each successive filmic adaptation.

The Spy Girls and the Quest for “Forbidden” Literacy: Rural Chinese Girls’ Negotiation of “No Christmas” School Policy Through Subversive Literacy Practices

ABSTRACT This article is a critical ethnographic study that examines rural Chinese girls’ literacy practices in sanctioned and unsanctioned spaces, and their negotiations with the articulated and delivered literacy program. In particular, this study focuses on a group of 1st-grade girls, who I call the “Spy Girls,” engaged in the celebration of Christmas, and their interactions with unauthorized literacy practices or “forbidden literacy” that challenge the institutional and structural discourse in relation to gender and school policies. Using a feminist lens, I argue that although local governments have deemed celebrating Christmas to be a compromise of tradition and unpatriotic, the girls’ practices exemplified the ways they negotiate gender roles and construct literate identities through appropriating acceptable forms of literacy expression to communicate under the radar.

Relationship between Family Support and Spirituality of HIV Patients in Tanjung Balai

Family support is a form of interaction in which there is a relationship that gives and receives real help carried out by the family. This support can be in the form of attitudes, actions, and family acceptance of sick patients. In family support, spirituality is needed, which involves an individual's relationship with others and the world. Spirituality is also often associated with self-discovery and the meaning of life. This study aimed to look at the relationship between family support and spirituality in people with HIV / AIDS in the city of Tanjung Balai. This research method is an observational correlation, with a cross-sectional approach where researchers use questionnaires to 50 respondents who got HIV, using a total sampling technique. Inclusion criteria: 1) respondents who get HIV, 2) willing to be a respondent, 3) can communicate well, 4) willing to cooperate, 5) age 20-50 years. The measurement of spirituality used of spiritual well-being questionnaire (SWBQ) and family support measurement used to measure respondents. This study showed a relationship between family support and spirituality in people with HIV / AIDS (p < 0.05). Family support and spirituality can be a factor that can support people with HIV / AIDS to accept the process of self-acceptance.
