The research is carried out in a district of a metropolitan city in the Marmara Region with the participation of 43 middle school students. Open-ended questions developed for concepts were used to collect data. Friedman test is used to determine whether there is a difference between students’ consistent and scientific knowledge structure scores regarding the concepts of melting and dissolution. As there is a significant difference between the students’ consistent and scientific knowledge structure scores regarding the concepts of melting and dissolution, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is used for dual comparisons between student levels. In addition, Spearman’s correlation coefficient of rank differences is used to determine if there is a relationship between the class levels of the students and the scores of students’ consistent and scientific knowledge structure regarding the concepts of melting and dissolution. As a result of the research, it is determined that the students’ consistent and scientific knowledge structure scores regarding the concepts of melting and dissolution differ depending on the students’ levels. When all the findings obtained from the research are evaluated together, it can be said that the development process of students’ knowledge structures regarding the relevant concepts is more compatible with the knowledge in pieces conceptual change theory. Based on the results of the research, some suggestions were made.

Intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and mud crab Scylla serrata harvested from Aceh waters Indonesia

Ectoparasite infections are a common problem in small-scale aquaculture, exerting a substantial influence on fishery production. In the context of Indonesia, the two prevalent fishery commodities are whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannameii and mud crab Scylla serrata. These species are extensively cultured within Aceh province, using traditional and semi-intensive aquaculture ponds and there are no reports on ectoparasites in these two species of crustaceans. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in mud crab and whiteleg shrimp from Aceh between August to December 2022. Mud crab samples were collected from three locations, namely Langsa City, East Aceh, and North Aceh districts, while whiteleg shrimp samples were sampled from coastal ponds in Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, and Aceh Jaya districts. The samples were collected over five months, and a total of 300 for each species were examined microscopically by scraping the swimming legs body, and gills. Furthermore, macroscopic-sized and microscopic-sized ectoparasites were observed using stereo and binocular microscopes, respectively. The results showed that five species of ectoparasites were recorded during the study, namely Octolasmis sp., Vorticella sp., Epistylis sp., Oodinium sp., and Zoothamnium sp. Mud crab exhibited infestations of Octolasmis sp., Vorticella sp., Epistylis sp., and Oodinium sp., while whiteleg shrimp were infested by Vorticella sp., Epistylis sp., and Oodinium sp. In this study, the highest intensity for crab and shrimp was recorded in Octolasmis sp. and Epistylis sp., in November and September, respectively. The gills showed higher intensity compared to other infested organs and based on sample origin, crab and shrimp from Langsa and Banda Aceh Cities had higher results compared to other locations. The prevalence of ectoparasites exhibited a high value, reaching 100%, showing that crustacean samples were infested by ectoparasites. Therefore, the intensity of ectoparasite was varied according to sample of origin, time of sampling and infested organs. The samples of both crab and whiteleg shrimp from all locations consistently exhibited ectoparasite infestations throughout the entire study period.Keywords:Octolasmis sp.Vorticella sp.Epistylis sp.Oodinium sp.Zoothamnium sp.

Early childhood caries and its associated factors among 5-years-old Myanmar children

IntroductionChildren's oral health plays a crucial role in their overall well-being and there is a significant gap in our understanding of early childhood caries (ECC) in Myanmar. This study aims to bridge this knowledge deficit by investigating the prevalence, causes, and potential interventions for ECC in the Myanmar population, providing crucial insights for future dental health policies and practices.MethodsGenerally healthy 5-year-old kindergarten children from 7 districts in city were recruited. ECC was assessed through clinical examinations using decayed, missed, filled teeth (dmft). Additionally, demographic data of the children and their caregivers, along with information about the children's oral health-related behaviors, were gathered using a structured questionnaire.ResultsOut of the 496 children, the overall prevalence of dental caries was 87.1% (mean dmft score: 5.57, SD: 4.6). Caries experience was categorized as severe (45.8%) and non-severe (41.3%). Decayed teeth constituted the major component of the dmft index (97.8%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed two significant factors associated with ECC prevalence: late toothbrushing initiation (OR: 2.54, p = 0.001) and dental visit experience (OR: 2.46, p = 0.010).DiscussionThe study highlights the alarming ECC prevalence in 5-year-old children in Mandalay, Myanmar, with mostly untreated decayed teeth. The findings emphasize early preventive oral health measures for young children to reduce ECC burden in Myanmar.

Problems of registration of acts of civil status of Ukrainians abroad who left during martial law in Ukraine

Acts of civil status are actions and events that occur and initiate, change, supplement or terminate inextricably linked to an individual and the possibility of being a subject of civil rights and obligations.
 The State Register of Civil Status Acts must include the following information: birth; adoption; deprivation and restoration of parental rights; marriage registration; divorce; change of name; and death of an individual. The authorized bodies empowered to carry out state civil registration are the state civil registration authorities (central executive body in the field of state civil registration, state civil registration departments of the Main Department of Justice of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, main departments of justice in regions, cities of Kyiv and Sevastopol, district, district in cities, city (cities of regional significance), city and district departments of justice).
 A vital record is a state document issued by an authorized body to carry out state registration of civil status acts, which contains personal information about a person and confirms the fact of such an action or event.
 Over the past two years, the state has significantly simplified the state registration of civil status acts. In particular, it is now possible to submit an application for marriage registration through the Unified State Web Portal of Electronic Services (Diia Portal), and if one of the spouses is a military officer, state registration of marriage can be conducted by the civil registry offices without the personal participation of such a bride or groom, and state registration of civil status acts can be conducted in diplomatic missions.
 The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has provoked an unprecedented flow of Ukrainians who were forced to flee Ukraine abroad as a result of the fighting. According to the Ombudsman of Ukraine, as of 2022, 14.5 million Ukrainians have left the country. The exact figures are being investigated.
 However, many citizens abroad face problems with state registration of civil status acts in diplomatic missions, which makes it impossible for them to fully exercise their right.

The Crimean Tatar Ethnic Group in the Socio-Economic and Ethnopolitical Processes of the Republic of Crimea

The article examines the specifics of the manifestation of the Crimean Tatar ethnos in the socio-economic and ethnopolitical processes of the Republic of Crimea. It is noted that the socio-economic factor in some cases can act as an additional factor in the destabilization of ethnopolitical processes. Within the framework of the study, the index of the level of socio-economic development is calculated, as well as the index of the level of ethnopolitical instability in the municipalities of the Republic of Crimea is calculated. It is concluded that in 66% of municipalities with the largest share of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group in the population structure, either high or maximum values of the ethnopolitical tension index are recorded. In four municipalities with the largest share of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group in the population structure, a minimum and low quantitative indicator of the level of socio-economic development is recorded (Belogorsky, Dzhankoy, Sovetsky and Pervomaisky districts), and in four more districts (Bakhchisarai, Kirovsky, Simferopol and Krasnogvardeysky), average values of the index can be observed. The exception is the Sudak city district, where a high quantitative indicator of the level of socio-economic development is recorded. Another conclusion is that in the Belogorsky, Sovetsky and Pervomaisky districts there is a high probability of the influence of a socio-economic factor on the destabilization of ethnopolitical processes. At the same time, the socio-economic factor can have almost no effect on the deterioration of ethnopolitical stability in the Krasnogvardeysky district and the Sudak city district.

A DISCOVERY ON MALAYSIAN ESL TEACHERS’ ADHERENCE TO POLICY MANDATES IN CLASSROOMBASED ASSESSMENT PRACTICES

Purpose – Although there exists a substantial body of research discussing the efficient implementation of classroom-based assessment (CBA), there is a dearth of knowledge regarding its application within the context of English as a Second Language (ESL)education in Malaysia. The current study aimed to investigate the ESL teachers’ practices in implementing CBA, with a specific emphasis on the alignment of their assessment procedures with the policy requirements. Methodology – Hence, this research utilizes a qualitative approach, employing data triangulation through semi-structured interviews,classroom observations, and document analysis. Four ESL teachers from two public secondary schools in the northeast district of theMalaysian city of Pulau Pinang were selected to participate in the study. The four ESL teachers taught the same grade (Form 2) at thesecondary level. The data collected were analyzed through thematic analysis procedures. Findings – This research discovered that teachers demonstrate commendable practices in planning the CBA. They exhibited discernment by formulating instructional objectives in line with the curriculum document. However, a misalignment was observedin teachers’ practices during the implementation phase. Despite employing various assessment methods, teachers predominantlyleaned towards formal assessments, with less emphasis on studentcentred approaches. Challenges surfaced when explicit learningobjectives were not effectively communicated, and the use of standardized rubrics, was not tailored to students’ diverse capabilities.At the reporting phase, concerns were raised about an excessive focus on administrative data recording. This study brought to light that teachers relied on the accumulation of students’ grades and marks to determine the mastery levels, thus corroborating with the examoriented practices. Significance – This study holds significant value for the field of ESL education in Malaysia by shedding light on the actual implementation of CBA and its alignment with policy directives. By providing information on how policies are implemented at the local level, contributes to the improvement of assessment policies that can be tailored to classroom realities.

Unveiling the Spatial Distribution of Heat Demand in North-West-Europe Compiled with National Heat Consumption Data

Space and water heating for residential and commercial buildings amount to a third of the European Union’s total final energy consumption. Approximately 75% of the primary energy is still produced by burning fossil fuels, leading to high greenhouse gas emissions in the heating sector. Therefore, policymakers increasingly strive to trigger investments in sustainable and low-emission heating systems. This study forms part of the “Roll-out of Deep Geothermal Energy in North-West-Europe”-project and aims at quantifying the spatial heat demand distribution in the Interreg North-West-Europe region. An open-source geographic information system and selected Python packages for advanced geospatial processing, analysis, and visualization are utilized to constrain the maps. These were combined, streamlined, and optimized within the open-source Python package PyHeatDemand. Based on national and regional heat demand input data, three maps are developed to better constrain heat demand at a high spatial resolution of 100 m × 100 m (=1 ha) for the residential and commercial sectors, and for both together (in total). The developed methodology can not only be applied to transnational heat demand mapping but also on various scales ranging from city district level to states and countries. In addition, the workflow is highly flexible working with raster data, vector data, and tabular data. The results reveal a total heat demand of the Interreg North-West-Europe region of around 1700 TWh. The spatial distribution of the heat demand follows specific patterns, where heat demand peaks are usually in metropolitan regions like for the city of Paris (1400 MWh/ha), the city of Brussels (1300 MWh/ha), the London metropolitan area (520 MWh/ha), and the Rhine-Ruhr region (500 MWh/ha). The developed maps are compared with two international projects, Hotmaps and Heat Roadmap Europe’s Pan European Thermal Atlas. The average total heat demand difference from values obtained in this study to Hotmaps and Heat Roadmap Europe is 24 MWh/ha and 84 MWh/ha, respectively. Assuming the implementation of real consumption data, an enhancement in spatial predictability is expected. The heat demand maps are therefore predestined to provide a conceptual first overview for decision-makers and market investors. The developed methods will further allow for anticipated mandatory municipal heat demand analyses.

Spatiotemporal variations in soil pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons over a 20-year economic boom in different districts of a heavy industrial city in North China

Urbanization-related human activities, such as population aggregation, rapid industrial expansion, and intensified traffic, are key factors that impact local polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions and their associated health risks. Consequently, regions with varying degrees of urbanization within a megacity may exhibit diverse spatiotemporal patterns in the presence and distribution of soil polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, resulting in different levels of ecological risks for local inhabitants following the same period of development. In this study, we measured the concentrations of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil samples collected from industrial district and rural district in Tianjin (China) in 2018, and compared with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon data in 2001 from a previous study to characterize these regional variations in occurrence, source, and human risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons induced by urbanization with time and space. The results indicate the 20-year rapid urbanization and industrialization has differentially affected the composition, distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils from different economic functional zones in Tianjin. Additionally, its impact on health risks in rural district appeared to be more significant than that in industrial district.

Quality of health service in the local government authorities in Tanzania: a perspective of the healthcare seekers from Dodoma City and Bahi District councils.

Improvement and access to quality healthcare are a global agenda. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-3) is committed to ensuring good health and well-being of the people by 2030. However, this commitment heavily depends on joint efforts by local authorities and the immediate service providers to communities. This paper is set to inform the status of health service provision in local authorities in Tanzania using the determinants for quality health services in Dodoma City and Bahi District. A cross-sectional research design was employed to collect data from 400 households in the Local Government Authorities. The five-service quality (SERVQUAL) dimensions of Parasuraman were adopted to gauge the quality of service in public healthcare facilities. Descriptive statistics were used to compute the frequency and mean of the demographic information and the quality of health services, respectively. A binary logistic regression model was used to establish the influence of the demographic dimensions on the quality of health services. The findings revealed that quality health services have not been realised for healthcare seekers. Further, the area of residence, education, and occupation are significantly associated with the perceived quality of health service delivery in the Local Government Authorities. The healthcare facilities under the LGAs offer services whose quality is below the healthcare seekers' expectations. The study recommends that the Local Government Authorities in Tanzania strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of health service delivery in public healthcare facilities.

Empirical Analysis of the Efficiency of Provincial Debt Expenditure in China

Improving the efficiency of local government debt expenditure is the key to preventing and resolving local debt risks in China. Using a three-stage SBM-DEA model, a input-output index system was constructed to calculate and analyze the efficiency of government debt expenditure in 30 provinces and cities (districts) across the country. The results showed that the overall level of local government debt expenditure efficiency in the country was relatively high; There is a significant difference in the efficiency of local debt in the eastern, central, and western regions. The efficiency of local debt expenditure in the eastern region has significant advantages, while the efficiency of local debt expenditure in the western region urgently needs to be improved; The degree of financial deepening, population size, and local debt expenditure efficiency are significantly positively correlated, while fiscal expenditure decentralization is negatively correlated with local debt expenditure efficiency.
