Consciousness In Children Research Articles

The influence of parents on children's consciousness of gender equality: a multi-group structural equation modeling approach.

This study aimed to understand the consciousness of gender equality among school-aged children in China and its influencing factors using structural equation modeling to explore the pathways, intensity and group differences among these factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified random whole-group sampling of primary school students in grades 1-6 and their parents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, 1,312 valid questionnaires were collected from a total of 1,500 school-aged children in Hunan Province, China (effective response rate of 87.5%). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 software. Statistical inference consisted of t-tests, analysis of variance, the LSD test, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple stepwise linear regression analysis and structural equation modeling. School-aged children had the lowest consciousness of gender equality in the area of occupation and relatively higher consciousness in the areas of family and school. Children's age, gender, gender role, parent-child relationship, teacher-student relationship and parents' gender equality consciousness had predictive effects on children's consciousness of gender equality. The structural equation model constructed in this study is applicable to school-aged children of different genders. There was a significant difference in the structural equation modeling for children in different study period groups. In the education process, parents and teachers should attempt to improve their own consciousness of gender equality, integrate the concept of androgynous education, enhance close relationships with children, and adopt appropriate education methods according to the characteristics of different groups of children.

Comparative analysis of the consistency of anesthesia depth between anesthesia index and Narcotrend index in monitoring pediatric tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy surgery

Objective: To analyze the consistency of the anesthesia index (AI) and Narcotrend index (NI) in monitoring the depth of anesthesia in pediatric tonsil/adenoidectomy. Methods: A total of 129 children who underwent elective tonsil/adenoidectomy at Xijing Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University from July 2022 to October 2023 were prospectively enrolled. Both AI monitoring by ConView monitor and NI monitoring by Narcotrend monitor were conducted for children after they were admitted to the operating room, while Propofol-remifentanil combined with total intravenous anesthesia was used during the operation and the anesthetic dose was adjusted to maintain the NI value at 40-60. In addition, the AI and NI values were recorded at following time points: quiet eyes closing (T1), the beginning of induction (T2), loss of consciousness (T3), tracheal intubation (T4), the beginning of surgery (T5), during tonsil excision (T6), adenoidectomy (T7), the end of surgery (T8), consciousness recovery (T9) and tracheal extubation (T10). Bland-Altman consistency analysis was used to evaluate the consistency of the results of the two types of anesthesia depth monitoring, AI value and NI value. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to analyze the predictive efficacy of AI and NI values for the state of consciousness of children. The intraoperative awareness was followed up at 24 hours, 1 week and 1 month after surgery. Results: In 129 cases, there were 78 boys and 51 girls, with an average age of (7.2±3.2) years and an operation time of (72.8±14.0) min. No AI data were missing, but 13 NI data were missing, with a missing rate of 10.1% (13/129). At time points T1-T10, the AI values were 67.5±19.2 and the NI values were 67.2±19.2. Bland-Altman consistency analysis showed that the difference in value between AI and NI was 0.3 (95%CI:-0.1-0.6, P=0.120), with an out-of-consistency range of 4.0% (51/1 290). Before anesthesia induction, AI and NI values were maintained at a high level; with the beginning of anesthesia induction and the disappearance of the children's consciousness, both AI and NI values gradually decreased; after discontinuing the infusion of anesthetics, the values of AI and NI gradually increased, and the change trend of AI and NI in each stage of the perioperative period was consistent, and there was no significant difference between the two groups at each time point (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value for predicting the state of consciousness using AI was 72.5, with an AUC of 0.73 (95%CI: 0.70-0.75), and the cut-off value of NI was 79.5 and the AUC was 0.74 (95%CI: 0.72-0.77). There was no significant difference in AUC between the two indices (P=0.310). None of the children had intraoperative awareness. Conclusion: Both AI and NI can be used to monitor the depth of anesthesia in pediatric tonsil/adenoidectomy with high accuracy.

Peculiarities of Future Educators’ Training for the Forming of the Fundamentals of National Consciousness in Children of Older Preschool Age

The peculiarities of professional training of future educators for the forming of older preschool-age children’s national consciousness are substantiated in the article. The main tasks, directions, and means of national education of children of older preschool age are analyzed. The main ethnographical means that contribute to the forming of the fundamentals of the national consciousness of children in the sixth year of life are specified and characterized, and the content of pedagogical activities aimed at expanding their horizons with specific ethnographical knowledge and ideas about important social phenomena and events is determined. All this can be realized with the help of various genres of oral folk art, traditions and customs of the Ukrainian people, folk games and toys, folk industries and crafts, and national symbols. All the ethnographical means listed above in figurative and rhythmic forms reflect real life in all its diversity (everyday life, social phenomena, work, human relationships) and contribute to national education, forming of the fundamentals of the national consciousness of older preschool-age children.
 It was established that preschool national education should help the child to form and apply the acquired social knowledge, and contribute to the forming of the skills of spiritual perception of national and cultural heritage. The result of national education should be reflected in the children's acquisition of social experience, the inheritance of the spiritual and moral values of the Ukrainian people, the achievement of a high level of national consciousness, as well as in the forming of a personality as a patriot of one's country. It is worth noting that national feelings are the basis of national consciousness and they do not arise by themselves, but only as a result of long-term educational influence on the personality, starting from the older preschool age.
 The future IPE teachers’ training for the development of national consciousness in children of older preschool age should be aimed at self-realization and the disclosure of their individual creative abilities. Gradually, the student’s vocabulary is enriched with everyday words, proverbs, sayings, tongue twisters, riddles, and other works of oral folk creativity, they learn to dramatize fragments of familiar Ukrainian fairy tales, make toys, decorate national dishes, clothes, and other household items. A systematic approach in work promotes the development of higher education getters’ interests in ethnography.

THE IMAGE OF CHILDHOOD IN THE SHORT STORIES BY FYODOR SOLOGUB

The article analyzes the features of the artistic embodiment of the image of childhood in the short stories by Fedor Sologub, a Russian writer of the late XIX — early XX century. In his works, the author turned to the theme of the tragedy of human earthly existence and the image of a suffering child. The theme of childhood in Sologub’s creative quest is integrated in the context of the leading artistic and aesthetic trends, trends, styles of the turn-of-the-century period – symbolism, naturalism, decadence. In his short stories, which address children's images and destinies, Fyodor Sologub assigns a dominant role to symbols. The writer’s works about childhood contain numerous symbolic images that acquire unexpected forms and semantic content. The author delves into the world of children's consciousness, which is turned towards transcendental, supersensible knowledge. In this regard, Sologub’s short stories are saturated with images of death and motifs of a child’s altered consciousness. The essential features of Fyodor Sologub’s ideas of childhood are determined by the specifics of his philosophical beliefs. The writer’s creative path and his worldview are inextricably linked with the philosophical views of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. The author’s desire to embody the cult of beauty, death and madness in his works of fiction about children was the result of his fascination with the ideas of German philosophers. The theme of the child hero’s departure from the hardships of earthly reality into the world of dreams, art, beauty, madness, death was prioritized in the writer’s work. The saturation of texts with landscape and color images, which are often juxtaposed, contrasted, was an important setting of the artistic world of Sologub’s short stories about childhood. Color symbolism is extremely significant in the works of the writer, revealing the theme of childhood. The ambiguity and semantic saturation of color imagery endows the short stories about childhood with uniqueness and individuality. The principle of duality, the idea of the supra-world nature of the child-hero, the borderline of his inner worldview was expressed in the writer's prose devoted to the theme of childhood. The image of a child appearing in the short stories fully reflects the author’s belief in the mystery, uniqueness, and incomprehensibility of the inner world of a little person. The writer felt close to the theme of suffering and humiliation of a child, which first emerged and was fully shaped in the Russian literature of the XIX century.

Познание «чужого» в рассказе Х. Мантел «Curved is the Line of Beauty»

The article is dedicated to the analyses of the story «Curved is the Line of Beauty» by H. Mantel. The article deals with both the dichotomy of "own - alien" and the problems of post-colonial British literature. In the story, the author conveys a child's perception of people; H. Mantel breaks down stereotypical perceptions of dark-skinned people by processing the image of the dark-skinned person through the naive and creative perception of the child. We can better experience this childlike perception through the narrative's feature of the integration of the author and the narrator, so that the reader receives information from the 'primary source'. At the same time, despite the fact that the child's consciousness is not burdened with negative thoughts towards black people, the 'alien' is never able to become 'own' for the protagonist.

Relationships Between Mother-Child Conversations About Emotion and Socioemotional Development of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Mother-child emotion-related conversations, as a practice of parental socialization of emotion, can help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop socio-emotional skills. This study intends to explore relationships between mother-child conversations about emotions and socio-emotional skills of children with ASD by accounting for the moderating role of children personality traits and mothers' emotional openness. Mothers of children with ASD (n = 49) responded to five questionnaires describing their conversations about emotions, emotional openness as well as their child's socio-emotional skills and personality. We conducted hierarchical regression and moderation analyses. Our findings indicate that frequent mother-child conversations about emotions significantly predict higher emotional regulation and Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in children with ASD (p < 0.05). Moreover, children's consciousness and openness to experience, along with mothers' emotional openness significantly moderate the relation between mother-child conversations about emotions and children's ToM skills (p < 0.05). Mother-child conversations about emotions, as a practice of parental socialization of emotion, could be beneficial for children with ASD. Children's personality traits and mothers' openness to emotion may act as a protective factor of ToM skills in children with ASD.

Cannabis Intoxication, a Neglected Cause of Altered Level of Consciousness in Children: A Case Series

Altered level of consciousness (ALC) represents a neurological emergency, which demands a methodical approach to evaluation and treatment. Emergency departments’ Paediatricians dealing with children with ALC need a rapid and reliable diagnostic process to rule out life-threatening conditions. ALC can be caused by structural and non-structural conditions, and, among non-structural conditions, intoxications must always be investigated. Toddlers and young children exposed to cannabis may present ALC due to explorative ingestion of the substance. We report three cases of toddlers who were admitted to our emergency department over a 12-month period with ALC due to cannabis intoxication. The three cases highlight how clinical presentation of cannabis intoxication can be variegated. Therefore, in case of afebrile children presenting with ALC Cannabis intoxication must be suspected and a urine drug test should be performed.

ФЕНОМЕНОЛОГИЧЕСКИЙ ПОРТРЕТ САМАРСКОГО ДЕТСТВА (ПО МАТЕРИАЛАМ ПРОЕКТА «ЭНЦИКЛОПЕДИЯ СОВРЕМЕННОГО ДЕТСТВА»)

The article deals with problems, main directions and methods of studying modern childhood in the humanities. The phenomenon of childhood is characterized as a special sociocultural phenomenon that requires an interdisciplinary methodology for its understanding, as well as implementation of a subjective approach to study rather than a traditional object one. The peculiarity of the research based on the phenomenological approach lies in the formulation and solution of both research and project tasks. Research tasks: fixation, description and interpretation of modern childhood markers based on the material of "Samara childhood"; project tasks: creation and distribution of a methodological product - "Encyclopedia of Modern Childhood" (manuals for adults, created by children), addressed to teachers and parents. The development of the encyclopedia was carried out by the project team of Samara branch MCPU students based on a sample of 2158 Samara schoolchildren. The concept, tools and product of the project "Encyclopedia of Modern Childhood" are characterized. The structure of the empirical content served as the basis for the sections of the manual: "Childhood: associations, thoughts and more", "Growing up, adults, addressing adults", "World of childhood", applications "Incomprehensible words for adults". The interpretive part of the research is represented by a selective content analysis of concepts "childhood", "adult" based on the secondary processing of the results. The analysis of the results reveals the following conclusions: the timeless archetype of child's consciousness maintains the dichotomous opposition of the "world of adults" (boring, problematic) and the "world of children" (carefree, sunny, positive); despite intensification, informatization of the way of life and transformation of the growing environment of a modern child, the perception of childhood as a special, inimitably happy chronotope is inherent in children.

Spiritual And Ethical And Socialization Of Pupils Of Preschool Educational Institutions Psychological-volitional Aspects

Preschool education, which is one of the first and main stages in the formation of personality, plays an important role in the physical development of children, as well as in their mental development as a person. Emphasizing the importance of the preschool age in the socialization of children, psychologist RS Nemov divides this period into three stages [R.S.N., 193]. That is:1) stage of emotional self-management (3-4 years);2) stage of moral self-government (4-5 years);3) the stage of formation of personal-practical qualities (5-6 years).Indeed, observing the activities of preschoolers at the age of 3-4 years makes an emotional assessment of the events that take place around them. For example, if something happens to them that they don't like, they protest, get upset, and even cry. On the contrary, they rejoice when what happens to them is pleasant, they “report” it to their peers, parents, other family members, or caregivers, and they laugh out loud. By the age of 3, children develop active speech and begin to speak fluently. Speech growth lays the groundwork for mental development. By interacting with those around them, they gain a better, deeper understanding of the environment, nature, and those around them. This, in turn, helps to develop the psyche of children of preschool age. During this period, their mobility, perception of material existence, and speech develop rapidly.Their perception is real object perception, they think about the objects they perceive, the things they are familiar with. The child's perception in this period is expressed, first of all, in his attitude to objects. In the preschool age, speech develops in proportion to the development of children's consciousness. Between the ages of 3 and 6, children learn almost all of the words that are constantly used in daily life and the simple grammatical techniques of the language.In preschool, children's active communication with others - peers and adults - contributes to the growth of their speech. As a result, at this age, they are able to tell in detail about events they have performed, witnessed, or heard from others. Relationships with others have a positive effect on the formation of their personality. As a result of this influence, they make spiritual and moral judgments about social realities.

ВПЛИВ СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА НА ФОРМУВАННЯ ВИХОВНИХ КОНЦЕПЦІЙ РОДИННОЇ ЕТНОПЕДАГОГІКИ

Авторка розглядає народну педагогіку як один із основних чинників створення виховної системи в сучасній українській школі та її подальшого розвитку, формування високоосвіченої, духовно багатої і морально стійкої особистості, вихованої на народних цінностях, звичаях, традиціях, рідній культурі, що є найголовнішим для молоді під час її етноідентифікації та входження в український соціум. Автором окреслено, що саме сім’я виступаєсферою формування ідеалів, світогляду, інтересів, первинних ціннісних орієнтацій та розвиває соціальні спрямування дитини. Завдання сучасної освіти – підготовка педагогічної культури батьків, забезпечення їх знаннями, володінням ефективними засобами і методами розвитку свідомості і поведінки дитини. Найпершим засобом регулювання взаємин є встановлення емоційно-ціннісного спілкування в сім’ї. Міжособистісне спілкування в сім’ї допомагає утверджувати доброзичливі, правдиві і щирі стосунки з дітьми, розвивати і збагачувати сімейні традиції і звичаї, виховувати дітейна позитивних прикладах родини. Водночас сім’я задовольняє і найважливіші особистісні потреби, значення яких постійно зростає. Серед них – потреба в довірливому спілкуванні, співпереживанні, співучасті. Саме підвищення педагогічного рівня батьків дасть змогу перетворити сімейне виховання на цілеспрямований, успішний процес, що повноцінно розв’яже завдання розвитку і виховання дитини.

Evaluating Non-Traumatic Loss of Consciousness in Children Admitted to the Emergency Room

Background Non-traumatic loss of consciousness is a nonspecific symptom resulting from a broad range of diseases in children, and its outcome depends on factors, including its primary etiologies, age, sex, and patient clinical condition at the time of admission. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the etiology and outcome of children's non-traumatic loss of consciousness and to determine predictive clinical and paraclinical features. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Imam Hossein Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Documents of 101 children aged one month to fifteen years old who were admitted with non-traumatic loss of consciousness from March 2016 to March 2017 were reviewed. Data regarding patient’s profile, signs and symptoms, para-clinical findings, progression, and outcome were collected and analyzed using SPSS software version 23.0. Results: Results showed that the most common cause was infections (40.6%), followed by seizure (23.8%) and intoxication (19.8%). Also, infection was the main cause of mortality. The mortality rate was 18.8% and it was significantly and directly correlated with duration of hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and emergency interventions such as intubation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the time of admission, seizure status, dehydration, irritability, poor feeding, oliguria, hypotension, non-reactive pupils, low oxygen saturation, hyporeflexia, and hypotonia. Moreover, paraclinical factors such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, impaired liver and kidney function tests, and high coagulation test predicated poor outcomes. Conclusion The most common cause of non-traumatic loss of consciousness and the most common cause of mortality was infection. Longer duration of hospitalization, ICU admission and interventions were associated with poor outcomes. It seems physicians should pay more attention to these predictive factors.

Power, Politeness, and Print: Children's Letter Writing in Republican China

This article examines how epistolary knowledge enabled schoolchildren to provide letter-writing services for adults who were not literate enough to write their own letters, thereby elevating those children's social status and raising their awareness of their own sociocultural power. The rise of child letter writers in Republican China is instrumental in understanding the ever-increasing need for written communication, the burgeoning of universal education, the expansion of commercial publications, and the construction of a modern society at that time. To appreciate the role of children in the aforementioned issues, the article emphasizes children's agency in two respects. First, it was embodied more so in children's consciousness of their ability to assist adults and to contribute to society than in their resistance to hierarchy and adults' directives. Second, it was reflected in children's appropriation of texts or images from letter-writing manuals for their own use, in order to accumulate cultural capital. In this sense, the rise of child letter writers in Republican China was distinct and significant because it aligned with China's ongoing pursuit of salvation and strength as a modern nation-state.
