Peculiarities of post-vaccination immunity to infections manageable by specific prevention means in schoolchildren

Introduction. Stable post-vaccination immunity and prediction of vaccination immunologic effectiveness are topical issues that require profound studies with their focus on the role in their formation that belongs to exogenous factors. The aim of this study was to establish pathogenetic peculiarities of the development of impairments of post-vaccination immunity to infections manageable by specific prevention in schoolchildren under combined exposure to chemical environmental factors as well as factors related to the educational process, lifestyle, and diet. Materials and methods. We analyzed laboratory test results and data obtained by questioning and analyzing diet records of one hundred eighty four children vaccinated against diphtheria, whooping cough, and measles. The children attended either a secondary school with standard educational programs (Reference Group) or a secondary school with profound studies of some subjects (Observation Group). Priority risk factors and etiopathogenetic peculiarities of the development of post-vaccination immunity impairments were identified by building one-factor logistic regression models and sequential modelling. Results. The schoolchildren from the School 2 had to study in an environment that did not conform to hygienic requirements to the management of the educational process; they did not consume biologically valuable foods in recommended quantities; their blood was contaminated with metals and aromatic hydrocarbons; they had high levels of digital activity but their physical activity was low. Given all this, intensity of their humoral post-vaccination immunity against diphtheria and whooping cough was 1.2–1.7 times lower than in the Reference Group. We identified determinants of advers effects produced on post-vaccination immunity development by the analyzed factors and determined their isolated and combined contributions to likelihood of a decline in intensity of humoral immunity to diphtheria (10–55% and 72%) and whooping cough (13–40% and 77%). We established pathogenetic peculiarities and marker laboratory indices of risk-associated impairments of post-vaccination immunity to diphtheria and whooping cough under combined exposure to the analyzed factors. Limitations. The study results were obtained without considering types of applied vaccines. Conclusion. The established pathogenetic aspects of risk-associated impairments of post-vaccination immunity to diphtheria and measles under combined exposure to the set of the analyzed factors are target ones for hygienic activities, prediction, and immunity correction.

Dimensões e saberes da docência: estudo exploratório sobre os registros elaborados por uma estagiária em ensino de Química

We present an exploratory qualitative investigation into the teaching internship completed by a student on an Academic Program in Chemistry Teacher Education. We carried out content analysis of texts produced by the intern, such as field diary and final report. We identified the mobilization of experiential knowledge, pedagogical tradition and pedagogical action, as well as the student’s involvement in situations related to the relational, academic, professional and strategic aspects inherent to teaching. Such elements were analyzed through observation of the school space, development of class management and the shared and written record of experiences. The results also highlight essential characteristics of the tripod that must support the teacher education processes, encompassing the following agents: the university, enabling attentive/participatory teaching guidance, as well as having a sensitive and humanized academic organization, compatible with the sociocultural profile of the students; the school space that is the field of the teaching internship, with its physical structure, pedagogical resources and trained personnel to receive/collaborate with undergraduate students; and the profile to be taken on by the intern, being open to the study of theoretical references, immersion in challenging experiences and the investigative/dialogical nature of the movements underlying the process of becoming being a teacher. Keywords: Teacher education. Teaching internship. Wisdom of teacher work.

Problems of Distance Learning in EU Countries During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The article is dedicated to the analysis of distance learning problems faced by EU Member states during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each EU member state was forced to transform its education policy, trying not only to reduce the risks of infection during professional contacts between teachers and students, but also to ensure the maintenance of the necessary quality of the educational process. The ambiguous influence of distance learning on the level of academic achievement of students in various EU countries is shown. The factors that hindered distance learning, including low incomes, housing and other material deprivation, belonging of students and their families to socially vulnerable segments of the population, the level of education of parents of schoolchildren and students are identified. The negative consequences of restrictive measures implemented by the EU countries in the education sector are revealed. Attention is focused on the risk of reducing the level of competitiveness of future graduates of educational institutions in the labor market due to their lack of knowledge. The reaction of the national authorities of the EU countries to the situation in the education sector, expressed in the adoption of a set of urgent measures, is investigated, including additional classes with lagging students, the preparation and active use of teaching materials, the provision of free SIM cards for an unlimited period of time to students from low-income families, providing computers and Internet access to children in need. It is stated that the education sector in the EU countries has demonstrated the necessary adaptability to the situation, having found support from the authorities.

Formation of a gender-sensitive environment in the innovative transformation of the scientific and educational space: the aspect of STEM education

In the conditions of martial law, the creation of a gender­sensitive environment in higher education institutions based on STEM is an urgent task. An important task of science and education at the moment is to provide favourable conditions for the subjects of education based on the state’s innovation policy (for example, STEM, artificial intelligence, robotics, etc.), as well as to provide feedback between the student and the teacher. Activation of the problem of the gender component, focusing attention on the concept of zero tolerance in the system of training personnel from the economic profile and developing a new methodology for building a gender­sensitive environment in this field will ensure the integrity of the process of forming intellectual potential among women and men, is the main goal of the author’s research. This is aimed at the rationality of the organization of the training of education seekers taking into account gender aspects on the basis of STEM. In the research, the authors outlined contextual levels and contradictions regarding the formation of a gender­sensitive environment, in particular: the context of the needs for social order (taking into account the equality of rights of women and men); the context of needs for science (pedagogical, engineering, technical, legal, physical and mathematical disciplines), taking into account transdisciplinarity and aspects of STEM education; in the context of the needs of pedagogical practice (development and implementation of innovative approaches in a gender­sensitive environment in the context of the formation of soft skills of subjects of education capable of implementing STEM technologies in the educational process). The purpose of the research is scientific substantiation, conceptualization and development of a gender­sensitive environment for institutions of higher education based on STEM. The object of research is the educational process in institutions of higher education. The subject of the research is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the expediency of the formation and development of a gender­sensitive environment of a higher education institution based on STEM education.

Menstrual disorder and its treatment seeking among adolescent girls in India: evidence from nationwide survey.

Adolescents make up 18 % of India's total population, with 116 million being girls. Most research has focused on menstrual health and hygiene practices, with limited studies on menstrual pain/disorder (MPD) among adolescent girls using micro-level data from specific regions of India. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of menstrual pain/distress, its treatment-seeking behavior, and its associated predictors among adolescent girls. The study employed data from a cross-sectional study design and interviewed 6,715 adolescent girls from 16 major States of India. The prevalence of MPD among adolescent girls was 61.8 %. Of these, a higher proportion of girls reported severe abdominal/back pain (90 %), followed by severe distress/irritation (26 %) and heavy bleeding (21 %). Findings suggest that girls who were educated about menstrual health weremore likely to identify MPD and seek its treatment. Regarding treatment seeking for MPD, surprisingly, only about 14.3 % of girls sought treatment from health personnel, while 61 percent did not seek treatment at all. Home remedies (57 %), medical shops (25 %), and frontline workers or primary health centers (20 %) were found to be the preferred source of treatment. The prevalence of MPD and its treatment-seeking varies significantly by socio-economic characteristics. The findings underscore the importance of providing menstrual health education and raising awareness of early identification and treatment-seeking among adolescent girls. The Government of India's efforts in initiating Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) and Rashtriya Kishor Swasthaya Karyakram (RKSK) programs are noteworthy. Having sufficient and well-trained peer educators can accelerate the process of health education and generate demand for healthcare services.

Investigating computer vision syndrome and associated factors before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative cross-sectional study in faculty members

Background One of the most significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human societies was the transformation of face-to-face training (F2F) into distance education (DE) processes. Objective This study aimed to investigate computer vision syndrome (CVS) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify the risk factors that may lead to increased incidence of CVS in university professors due to DE. Methods Using an online questionnaire, occupational and demographic information, hours of computer, laptop, smartphone, and tablet usage before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were collected. In the second part, participants were asked to report the frequency of occurrence and severity of 16 CVS symptoms over the past year and the last 7 days. The third section of the questionnaire recorded CVS risk factors such as ergonomic status of workstations, during virtual live training (VLT) and offline content creation during the COVID-19 period. Results The prevalence of CVS was 9.03% before COVID-19 and 34.19% during COVID-19. The cumulative incidence of CVS was 25.48%. The mean ± SD of the CVS final score significantly increased before (6.82 ± 4.29) and during COVID-19 (8.48 ± 7.11) ( p < 0.001). Associated factors with CVS revealed using Univariate analyses (OR >1; 95% CI 0.75–11.27, p < 0.05). Conclusion DE has led to increased prevalence and incidence of CVS in university professors during the COVID-19 pandemic. It appears that associated factors with CVS such as increased usage time of smartphones can contribute to increase CVS in university professors.

Integration of Religious Moderation in Character Education: A Study of the Salafiyah Islamic Boarding School Approach

This study examines the integration of religious moderation into character education at Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren) and its role in shaping students’ moral development. The research highlights how religious moderation can be internalized through four key steps: teaching, habituation, experience, and role modeling. By embedding moderate Islamic values, students are encouraged to adopt tolerance, peace, and pluralism in their everyday interactions. Two main character development models are analyzed: Lickona’s model (moral knowing, moral doing, moral feeling) and Muhaimin’s model (value transformation, transaction, transinternalization), both of which offer structured frameworks for embedding religious moderation into the educational process. The study reveals that Kyai (religious teachers) play a pivotal role in the internalization of these values, serving as moral guides for students. Furthermore, the research discusses the broader societal implications, showing that graduates of these schools develop strong religious foundations and contribute positively to community life, thus strengthening public trust in the pesantren system. The findings suggest that religious moderation, when systematically integrated into character education, helps mitigate extremism and fosters peaceful coexistence within pluralistic societies.

THE FIRST STEPS OF LEARNING CHEMISTRY IN THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL: SELF-ASSESSMENT RESULTS

Self-assessment becomes an important element in the modern educational process, in particular when studying chemistry. Modern approaches to education are aimed not only at the transfer of knowledge, but also at the development of students' ability to independently evaluate their achievements and identify difficulties in learning the material. Thanks to this, students learn to approach their studies more responsibly, become more independent and motivated. Self-assessment is a key component of modern methodological approaches in teaching, as it contributes to the development of independence, critical thinking and personal responsibility of students. In this work, the results of self-assessment by students of the first chapter of chemistry «Chemistry. The first steps» were investigated and analyzed. The 7th grade students of the A. Voloshyn Uzhhorod Lyceum, who started studying chemistry under the program of the New Ukrainian School. The results of the study showed the level of assimilation of the material passed by students and insufficient understanding of the history of the development of chemistry, the consequences of non-observance of safety techniques while working in the chemical laboratory, difficulties in the systematization of laboratory equipment. Such an analysis will help to more effectively adapt the educational process to the needs of students and improve their results.

Medical Education Quality in the COVID-19 Era: A Policy Brief on Lesson Learned and Recommendations

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the quality of medical education in Iran, with a particular emphasis on virtual training. The results of these studies varied. A review of evidence suggests that the pandemic has affected the quality of medical education. Quality management of medical education during critical conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic is far from what occurs in routine medical education processes. In order to prevent a decline in the quality of education during crises, it is necessary to adapt educational structures flexibly, particularly in healthcare delivery settings such as hospitals and comprehensive health centers. This policy brief proposes several recommendations in the area of learning environment, educational governance, developing and supporting learners and supervisors, delivering programs and curricula and developing a sustainable workforce. These recommendations can be implemented both before and during a crisis. In addition to all these suggestions, the key policy recommendation is to create and implement an Education Incident Command System (EICS). The design of an EICS is warranted to keep medical education processes active and preserve the quality of medical education before, during, and after a crisis. The EICS operates with command, control, and coordination of key players in medical education in response to emergency situations by facilitating flexible changes in medical educational processes

Student Learning Using Powtoon and PowerPoint Learning Media with a Contextual Teaching Approach

As technological advances continue to develop, educators are challenged to create various forms of learning media. The presence of learning media in an educational process plays a vital role in increasing the effectiveness of communication and facilitating the delivery of knowledge by teachers to students, thus allowing teachers to be more creative and innovative in delivering content. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using Powtoon and PowerPoint as media tools by applying a contextual teaching approach to improve the learning outcomes of grade IX students. This study used a quantitative approach, with the research design being a post-test-only control group. The research subjects consisted of two classes, each composed of 27 students. Data collection methods used in this study include tests and questionnaires. The research instruments included a six-item test and a ten-question questionnaire. The experimental method involved applying Powtoon in one class and PowerPoint in the other, with both classes applying the contextual teaching approach. After the data was collected, it was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. The analysis that was conducted shows that there is a significant difference in learning outcomes between the two groups of students using PowToon and PowerPoint. Based on these results, PowerPoint and PowerPoint media are effective in student learning outcomes. The implication of this research is to design more effective learning strategies by utilizing appropriate learning media and to explore further the various aspects of using learning media.

ІНТЕГРОВАНЕ ПРОЄКТУВАННЯ ХВОСТОВОЇ ЧАСТИНИ ФЮЗЕЛЯЖУ ЛІТАКІВ ТРАНСПОРТНОЇ КАТЕГОРІЇ

For the first time, when designing transport category aircraft with a tail cargo hatch, a method of integrated design and construction of the fuselage tail section has been developed and presented, which, using mathematically described parameters, allows the creation of a particular master geometry of the fuselage tail section for a specifically selected cargo door scheme. The method has been improved to allow the design of transport aircraft not only at the stage of creating a fundamentally new aircraft concept, but also as a means of modifying an existing passenger aircraft type through deep modernization. A systematization and classification of existing types of cargo doors of the transport category aircrafts according to their design features has been developed. A separate group of tail cargo doors has been identified. Five typical schemes of cargo hatches in the tail section of the fuselage have been formed. A universal parametric method for specifying the master geometry of the fuselage tail section has been created, which allows the implementation of any of the above schemes of cargo doors in the fuselage tail section, including a unique one, implemented only on AN aircraft with a rolling ramp. The relationship between the parameters of the cargo door and the transportation characteristics of the aircraft, which depend on the range and types of cargo to be transported, methods of loading and unloading, and airdropung, is described. The methods of three-dimensional parametric modeling of both the tail sections of the fuselage and transport aircraft as a whole were further developed when creating a master geometry, a space distribution model, analytical standards of airframe structural elements, and a model for the complete determination of the geometric parameters of the aircraft using CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM technologies. The presented results have been implemented in the practice of designing transport category aircraft at ANTONOV Company, as well as at the National Aerospace University named after M.E. Zhukovsky “Kharkiv Aviation Institute” in the educational process of training aviation specialists.

Problems in Teaching Russian to Foreign Medical Students Studying in an Intermediary Language (Using the Example of Iranian Students)

The article examines the problems in teaching the Russian language that teachers face when working with medical students studying in an intermediary language. The early stage of language learning for such students causes the greatest difficulty, therefore, the importance of increased attention and the search for additional teaching methods in order to introduce diversity into the learning process and increase motivation to learn is emphasized. The ways of solving such difficulties based on the analysis of their occurrence are proposed. For students whose Russian is not the main language of instruction, the issue of motivation causes the greatest difficulties. The author notes the great role of communication between teachers and students in increasing motivation to study. The issue of the lack of specialized textbooks for such a category of students is also being considered, which significantly affects the effectiveness of the educational process. In addition, the author raises the question of how much a language teacher should know about the material of a medical specialty. Since the main purpose of teaching medical students is the development of early professionalization, a Russian teacher is a guide to mastering medical terminology from scratch, therefore he must know the material to a minimum extent. But in practice, many universities lack the necessary training of teachers and the necessary measures for professional development in the specialty.

A Comparative Analysis of Board Information Disclosures between Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria and Ghana

This study compared board information disclosures of 19 Nigerian and Ghanaian deposit money banks, focusing on board meeting attendance records, performance, demographics, education, roles, ethics, anticorruption, code of conduct, policy, and shareholding disclosure, highlighting the importance of transparency for trust and informed decision-making.The sample size was 19 banks, comprising 12 banks from Nigeria and 7 banks from Ghana, and the analysis included independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests. The study compared board disclosure of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria and Ghana. It found that Ghanaian banks disclosed more board demographic information, while Nigerian banks disclosed more board education and training processes. However, there was no significant difference in the disclosures of board roles, functions, chairman’s roles, CEO’s roles, board members’ age, appointment dates, board change, performance, ethics, anti-corruption, code of conduct, policy, and board shareholding between the two countries. The study reveals that listed deposit banks on the Nigerian exchange group disclose similar information to their counterparts on the Ghanaian stock exchange, except for certain aspects like board demographics and board education and training processes. Nigerian and Ghanaian banks should improve disclosure of board change/re-election information, board ethics, anti-corruption, code of conduct, policy, and board members’ age.

Exploring Graduates’ Attitudes on the Learning Environment and Institutional Development: A Case Study Based on Mixed Method

In the field of psychology, an attitude is commonly understood as a set of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses directed toward a specific object or situation. Guided by the fundamental principles of functional theory, this study aimed to explore graduates’ perceptions of their institution’s learning environment (LE) and institutional development (ID). The primary objective of this study was to assess graduates’ views on these two aspects. To achieve the objective, the study employed an exploratory and descriptive research design. A case study approach was utilized for qualitative data collection and subsequently analyzed thematically. For the quantitative aspect, statistical techniques such as cross-tabulations and chi-square tests were applied. The research was conducted using a convergent parallel model, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings revealed that graduates held generally unfavorable attitudes toward certain aspects of the learning environment, including library services, internship and placement opportunities, and teaching pedagogies. Notably, graduates from the BA program expressed more negative attitudes compared to those from other programs. Based on their feedback, graduates recommended that institutions should implement ICT-based teaching and learning activities, reduce external interference in educational processes, and invest in the capacity development of faculty members. Additionally, they suggested that the institution should provide ICT equipment to foster a technology-friendly environment, enhance library services by acquiring more books, and offer training in banking, insurance, and cooperative sectors to benefit students. The study’s conclusions provide valuable insights into graduates’ attitudes toward the learning environment and institutional development, providing clearer guidance for the management committee and administration of the CJMC. Furthermore, the findings offer important context for understanding the graduates’ suggestions and willingness to support institutional improvements.

THE CONCEPT OF FORMING EVALUATION AND ANALYTICAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Control is a component of the system of teaching foreign languages and cultures. The effectiveness of its organization and conduct by the teacher provides quality feedback and significantly affects the results of students’ acquisition of foreign language communicative competence. Control is always related to evaluation. This necessitates the formation of evaluative and analytical competence of the future teacher of foreign languages in the process of professional and methodological training in a higher education institution. Given the peculiarities of teaching foreign languages, the evaluative and analytical competence of a foreign language teacher has its own specificity. At the same time, the analysis of the latest researches and publications makes it possible to ascertain the absence of a scientifically based concept of the formation of evaluative and analytical competence of future teachers of foreign languages in the process of their professional and methodological training in a higher education institution. Such a concept should become the basis for the development of teaching methods in accordance with the conditions of the organization of the educational process in a higher education institution according to a specific educational program and within the limits of mandatory and/or optional components of the professional and methodological training of future teachers of foreign languages. With this study, we aim to develop the concept of the formation of evaluative and analytical competence of future foreign teachers as a scientifically based system of approaches, content of training, methods and means of training, which in their relationship reflect the leading idea and strategy of organizing the educational process to achieve the planned result. To achieve the formulated goal, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific sources, valid documents to clarify the state of development of the problem of formation of evaluative and analytical competence among future teachers of foreign languages; synthesis, generalization, deduction to determine the main provisions of the concept. Evaluative and analytical competence of a teacher of foreign languages, as a complex and dynamic interaction of special methodological knowledge and methodological skills, is considered in the unity of both components – evaluative and analytical competence. Modern approaches to education form the theoretical basis of the proposed concept. The competence approach is aimed at the formation of target competence and requires a minimally sufficient selection of training content. The technological approach involves the use of learning technologies and technologies for learning. The reflective approach is implemented for self-control, self-analysis, self-evaluation by the student of the process and the result of mastering one’s own evaluation and analytical competence. The formation of evaluative and analytical competence is a joint activity of the teacher and students of higher education – future teachers of foreign languages, therefore the personal-activity approach is applied in the unity of personal and activity components from the positions of the student and the teacher. The content of training for the formation of evaluative and analytical competence is disclosed in subject and activity aspects: the subject aspect consists of topics and typical professional and methodological situations of foreign language teachers in the process of design, implementation and organization of control and evaluation of student learning results, and the activity aspect reflects methodological knowledge, methodological skills as components of target competence. Tasks for mastering methodological knowledge, four groups of tasks for the formation and development of methodological skills are the means of learning. Tasks for the formation and development of methodological skills of future teachers of foreign languages are often multifunctional; this means that in the process of performing the task, the methodological skill / methodological skills are in a different stage of formation. The results of tasks for mastering knowledge are evaluated according to the “correct answer” criterion. Criteria for evaluating the results of tasks for the formation and development of methodological skills are defined depending on the type of task. Methodological reflection is important for a future teacher of foreign languages. The main means of methodological reflection of future teachers of foreign languages in the process of formation and development of evaluative and analytical competence is defined as an electronic methodological portfolio, the content of its sections is proposed. The scientific substantiation of the concepts of the formation of other competencies of the modern foreign language teacher can provide a perspective for further research.

Mujeres Indígenas Universitarias, reflexiones en torno a sus experiencias

In today’s society, the various roles played by women and their impact on their communities has grown in importance. Thus, we need to realize women’s struggles are different and related to cultural diversity, and the experiences stemming from that circumstance. Hence the need to understand the barriers, challenges, and struggles faced by Indigenous women at the university drawing on an intercultural feminist approach. Following Bonilla and Rodriguez’ qualitative methodology, we found several challenges encountered by Indigenous university woman students regarding their recognition as social subjects. Likewise, they face the challenge of harmonizing their cultural identity experiences and social demands, as well as finding their place as autonomous and members of a collective. In addition, attention should be paid to structural, social and academic hindrances in women’s educational process and the roles they hold, which imply greater visibility, creating safe spaces, and exchanging cultural views.

Research on Improving the Teaching Quality of International Students in Universities from a Convergence Perspective

As the internationalization process of higher education in China continues to accelerate, the convergence-based educational management of international and Chinese students has become an inevitable trend. The original "separated" educational management model is gradually evolving towards a "convergence" educational management model. Establishing work goals with an "international perspective, Chinese-foreign integration, local action, and Chinese characteristics," and conducting conceptual innovation and practical exploration of convergence-based educational management, is a beneficial attempt by Chinese universities to implement convergence-based education management for Chinese and international students.
