The Effect of Parent-child Relationships on the Social and Emotional Competence of Elementary School Students in the Lower School Grades

Over the years, social and emotional competence has received much attention as a key competence for the social development of individuals. The level of social and emotional competence has gradually become an important indicator for assessing students' personal social adaptability and well-being in life. Based on the global report of Social and Emotional Competence Measurement released by OECD in 2021, understanding parents and a good parent-child relationship will promote the development of social and emotional competence of primary and secondary school students to a certain extent. Under the educational background of home-school-society co-education, family education has become an important part of education. Research shows that a harmonious family atmosphere is more conducive to the healthy development of children's physical and mental health. Moreover, lower elementary school students are in the transition period and have the psychological characteristics of preschool children, such as insecurity, judgment, emotional instability, etc., which require more attention and guidance from parents, teachers, and society. This study analyzes relevant literature to investigate the influence of the parent-child relationship on the social and emotional competence of lower elementary school students and develops parent-child activities for the five major competencies of social and emotional competence.

Self-attention mechanism to enhance the generalizability of data-driven time-series prediction: A case study of intra-hour power forecasting of urban distributed photovoltaic systems

The emergence of small-scale urban distributed solar generation (DSG) has urged the exploration of site-adaptive forecasting models designed to accurately predict future power outputs for unseen DSGs. In such scenarios, with numerous DSGs spread across utility-scale cities and a lack of historical data, it is not economically viable to use conventional approaches that develop individual models for each DSG. Therefore, this work aims to tackle this real-world challenge by adapting the state-of-the-art, attention-based temporal fusion transformer (TFT) model to 188 real-world operational DSG data, thereby validating the generalizability of self-attention mechanism for multi-step time series forecasting. When adapted to unseen DSGs without training data, the experiment results demonstrate that the proposed solar TFT (STFT) improves by 11.07%, 17.58%, and 22.76% over the persistence model at the 10-, 20-, and 30-minute forecasts, respectively. Even when compared to representative deep-learning models, such as a long short-term memory model specialized in time series forecasting, STFT has demonstrated improved forecast accuracy, achieving 3.34%, 4.18%, and 5.85% enhancements at the 10-, 20-, and 30-minute forecast horizons, respectively. However, the model architecture of STFT is more complex, and the computational cost associated with it is relatively higher compared to other deep learning models. This trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency should be considered in practical applications. The forecast performance is analyzed in three typical weather conditions, namely, clear, partly cloudy, and overcast. STFT demonstrates advantages in high variability periods, especially during weather transition periods, where reference models experience lagged predictions yielding relatively large errors.

Opening the “Black box” of the labor market in Macedonia: Youth unemployment

The youth unemployment in Macedonia has been high and persistent for the last three decades, despite the many active labour policies for young persons. This paper examines the determinants of youth unemployment in the Macedonian labour market using quantitative and qualitative analysis. In order to empirically estimate the relevant determinants of youth unemployment in Macedonia we employ the two-step conditional mixed processes model (CMP) using the school to work transition survey (SWTS) by the International Labour Organization. The quantitative analysis is accompanied by qualitative analysis to further explore and explain the social-economic issues. The qualitative analysis includes semi-structured interviews and focus groups conducted in different regions of Macedonia. The empirical results indicate that gender, age, the wealth of the household, the education level and regional characteristics are the main determinants of youth unemployment in Macedonia. According to the findings of the qualitative analysis, the most of the young people pursue education and live with their families who provide them with financial support to cover their expenses. Consequently, the young persons have a diminished interest to search for a job and this attitude on long run could have a dubious effect and influence on the personal choices. Overall, there is a long school to work transition period, which discourages young people to actively participate in the labor market.

The injection of maternal B complex vitamin during the transition period: The impact on performance, thyroid hormones levels and immunological parameters in the Sannen goats and their kids, as well as the faeces status of newborn kids.

It is proven that B vitamins through promote a wide range of metabolic pathways in animals as cofactors improve animal performance. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of maternal B complex vitamin injection on performance and plasma parameters in goats and their offspring, as well as the faeces status of newborn kids. In this research, the pregnant goats (3 years old) were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (without B complex vitamin injection) and the B complex vitamin group (5mL B complex vitamin injection per animal). The animals were injected with 5mL B complex vitamin twice during the transition period (5 weeks pre- and 5 weeks post-kidding). The goats during the transition period and kids on days 10, 20 and 30 were weighed. Feed intake by goats and consumption of milk and starter in kids were recorded daily. The dry matter digestibility by kids was tested by collecting samples of faeces and feed for 5 days in the last week. Chemical analysis was determined using the AOAC method. The kids' faeces were prepared daily during the study. The blood samples of goats and newborn kids were taken 7 days after kidding. Then, levels of B group vitamin, as well as concentrations of liver enzymes, thyroid hormones and immunological parameters, were determined in plasma of goat and their offspring. In addition, concentrations of glucose and insulin were measured in goat plasma (Asadi et al., 2024). According to results, the performances of goats and their offspring, as well as kids' faeces status, were improved by maternal B complex vitamin injection (p<0.0001). The levels of cobalamin, pyridoxine, thiamine, folic acid, nicotinic, pantothenic and unconjugated pteridine increased in the plasma of goats and their kids in the B complex vitamin group compared with the control group during the transition period (p<0.0001). Injection of maternal B complex vitamin raised the plasma levels of triiodothyronine and tetraiodothyronine, immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M in goats and their offspring (p<0.0001). Higher levels of glucose and lower levels of insulin were determined in the goats injected with B complex vitamin (p<0.0001). These results suggest that maternal B complex vitamin injection is required for the improvement of performance, health status and the blood plasma parameters in pregnant goats and their kids.

Evidence-Based Practices for Evaluating Preschoolers Who Are Deaf/Hard of Hearing Using Listening and Spoken Language for Special Education Eligibility

Purpose: Many young children who are deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH) using listening and spoken language (LSL) demonstrate improved spoken language outcomes. Anecdotally, one cascading effect of these improved outcomes is that many children are not qualifying for continued services at the age of 3 years during the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 Part C to Part B transition due to norm-referenced language performance within the average range. Although norm-referenced performance is one metric for determining language delay and is heavily relied on by educational teams, these siloed measures do not reflect listening, language, and learning demands of a typical preschool classroom. This tutorial highlights the research-to-practice gap currently existing in school-based contexts when evaluating a young child who is D/HH using LSL for special education services. Conclusions: An evidence-based framework for ecologically valid, school-based evaluations during the transition period from IDEA (2004) Part C to Part B for young children who are D/HH using LSL between 30 and 35 months of age is presented that balances sensitivity with feasibility. With a particular emphasis on assessment practices for spoken language, the framework connects the purpose of special education eligibility evaluations with evidence-based practice guidance from the literature.

Anaemia among school-going adolescents in Burkina Faso: Prevalence and associated factors.

Adolescence, a stage of growth between 10 and 19 years, is a transitional period of intense cognitive, emotionaland physical development. Though iron deficiency is theleading cause of morbidity and mortality among this age group, nutritional interventions targeting adolescents are rare. To inform policy and practice aimed at adolescent health, we established the burden of anaemia among school-going adolescents in Center West Burkina Faso and investigated the potential explanatory factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and March 2021. Blood samples, socio-demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, dietaryand water, sanitation and hygiene data from 2947 students aged 10-18 years were collected. Anaemia was determined by the World Health Organization's sex- and age-specific haemoglobin concentrations. χ2 tests and logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia among adolescents in the sample was 36.2%, including 24.2% mild, 11.6% moderateand 0.4% severe anaemia. Compared to males, females were 19% less likely to have mild anaemia (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] = 0.81; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.689, 0.955) but 42% more likely to be moderately or severely anaemic (aOR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.102, 1.831). Among iron-rich foods, tamarind (aOR = 0.75; 95% CI: 0.610, 0.929) and pumpkin leaves (aOR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.605, 0.974) were associated with lower odds of anaemia. Several water, sanitation and hygiene factors were associated with higher haemoglobin, including handwashing after toilet use (β = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.031, 0.966)andtooth brushing twice daily (β = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.030, 0.354). Anaemia among adolescents in Burkina Faso should be addressed with interventions targeting diet, sanitationand hygiene.

Social and Psychological Trauma of Human Trafficking: Albanian Women Case

Human trafficking is a phenomenon with a long history during the centuries. In Albania country, human trafficking has existed for a long time, even during the communist period. The post-communist period has been ranked as the top period for human trafficking and human slavery. As a result of the phenomena of the collapse of communism after 1990, in Albanian society happened so many changes in the field of government and political system, the opening of boundaries toward all countries of the world or free movement toward all countries, liberalisation of the economy, social and cultural changes etc. Most researchers evaluated this period as a transition period in political, social, economic and cultural. So this situation created a good field for developing human trafficking within Albania. Although the human trafficking phenomenon has been explored in the post-communist society, in the transition period till nowadays have been growing and extended more. The functioning of the government and low security made it possible for the mafia to be stronger in human trafficking too. So, Albania has been a bridge country for human trafficking from Eastern countries toward Greece, Italy, European Countries and other countries of the world. Women and children were and are still primary victims of sex slavery and are included in varying sexual activities like prostitution, stripping, sex tourism, pornography etc. In this paper, we are going to explain human trafficking as a type of modern slavery that is formed as sex trafficking. In this case, we are going to discuss the psychological trauma that sex trafficking affects Albanian women. Are these victims still able to continue their own lives? Do they fill their selves ignored by the society where they are living? What are their psychological traumas caused in their character and does this trauma affect their life? Also, we are going to discuss for social trauma that is caused in Albanian society during the human trafficking have happened in the post-communist period till today. What are the pathologies that human trafficking (in this case sex trafficking) brings to Albanian society and the different social actors?

Analysis of the correlations between ECG components in adolescents both before and after exposure to different types of physical stress in the Subarctic winter conditions

BACKGROUND: Adaptive responses to harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic may vary not only among adults, but also among children and adolescents. These compensatory reactions are influenced by the predominant type of regulation of the autonomic nervous system. The myocardium and its electrical properties play a significant role in determining how individuals adapt to to environmental conditions. AIM: To study correlations between PP and TR intervals in adolescents in adolescents undergoing the clinostatic test and the Martinet test during the winter season. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty cardiac cycles were recorded in 22 adolescents aged 15–16 years in the II standard lead, both at baseline and after conducting the clinostatic and Martinet tests. Durations of the RR and TR intervals were measured and used for the analysis. Statistical processing of the data was performed using the MS Excel tables. RESULTS: Based on both individual and group data analysis, it has been observed that the duration of RR and TR increases during the clinostatic test, while it decreases during the Martinet test. The extent of these changes in RR and TR varies between the two tests. Specifically, the RR:TR ratios are 1:3.5 during the clinostatic test and 1:2.5 during the Martinet test. These findings suggest a higher likelihood of parasympathetic influences on the electrical properties of the myocardium during the clinostatic test, and sympathetic influences during the Martinet test. CONCLUSION: Duration of RR and TR intervals increased by 25% and 85%, respectively, in response to the clinostatic test. Conversely, after the Martinet test, the duration of both intervals decreased by 15% and 38%, respectively. These findings suggest that the changes in the duration of RR and TR intervals are influenced by the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, under different types of physical stress. Further research should be conducted in other seasons, particularly during transitional periods such as spring and autumn, to better understand the electrical properties of the myocardium under physical stress.

Acceptability and usability of a nurse-assisted remote patient monitoring intervention for the post-hospital follow-up of patients with long-term illness: A qualitative study

BackgroundPatients living with long-term chronic illnesses often need ongoing medical attention, lifestyle adjustments, and psychosocial support beyond the initial diagnosis and treatment phases. Many experience illness deterioration and subsequently require hospitalisation, especially in the transition period after hospital discharge. A promising strategy for managing long-term conditions is promoting self-management. eHealth interventions involving remote patient monitoring have the potential to promote self-management and offer a more seamless bridge between the hospital and the patient´s home environment. However, such interventions can only significantly impact health and health care if they are effective, accepted and adopted by users, normalised into routine practice and everyday life, and able to be widely implemented. Feasibility studies are used to determine whether an intervention is suitable for the target population and effective in achieving its intended goal. They may also provide critical information about an intervention´s acceptability and usability. ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate the acceptability and usability of a nurse-assisted remote patient monitoring intervention for the post-hospital follow-up of patients with long-term illnesses by use of the core constructs of normalisation process theory. DesignA descriptive and explanatory qualitative approach was used, with patients observed during training and semi-structured interviews conducted with patients and nurses after study completion. SettingsParticipants were recruited from two university hospitals in Norway between December 2021 and February 2023. ParticipantsTen patients were observed during training, and 27 patients and eight nurses were interviewed after study completion. MethodsStructured and overt observations were made while the patients received training to operate the remote patient monitoring service, guided by an observation guide. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients and nurse navigators about their experiences of remote follow-up care, guided by open ended questions. Data analysis followed a stepwise deductive inductive method. Results`Achieving acceptance and usability through digital social interaction´ emerged as a unifying theme that bridged the experiences of patients with long-term illnesses and the nurse navigators. This overarching theme was illustrated by four sub-themes, which all reflected the usability and acceptability of the nurse-assisted remote patient monitoring service in various ways. ConclusionAcceptability and usability are critical factors to consider when evaluating remote patient monitoring interventions. In this study, the most important feature for promoting acceptability and usability was the interaction between patients and nurse navigators. Therefore, the intervention´s feasibility and implementation potential rested upon the relationship between its deliverer and receiver.

Injection of antioxidant trace minerals/vitamins into peripartum crossbred cows improves the nutritional and immunological properties of colostrum/milk and the health of their calves under heat stress conditions.

Multimineral and vitamin injections can provide better nutrient availability at the cellular level, which is essential for mitigating transition period stress and improving the wellbeing and productivity of dairy cows. The present study was conducted to assess the colostrum quality and calf health after intramuscular injection of multi-minerals (MM) and multi-vitamins (MV) to peripartum cows during winter (THI = 58 to 66) and summer (THI = 78 to 82) months. In each season, twenty-four pregnant crossbred Karan Fries cows were grouped into four, each consisting of six cows. Group I, referred to as the Control, received solely the basal diet, without any additional supplements. Groups II, III, and IV were administered additional MM (T1), MV (T2), and a combined MM and MV (T3) along with their basal diet, starting 30days before calving and continuing for 30days after calving. Blood samples were collected from the calves, while colostrum/milk samples were obtained from the cows on days 1, 3, 7, and 15 after calving. The somatic cell counts (SCC) in the milk were determined using a cell counter. Cortisol, IgG, IGF1 and total immunoglobulins (TIG) in whey and plasma from cow colostrum/milk or calf blood samples were estimated by ELISA. Cows that calved in the summer exhibited notably reduced levels (P < 0.05) of IgG, milk, and plasma IGF1, along with lower calf body weights, in comparison to those calving in the winter season. Furthermore, the summer months saw significant increases (P < 0.05) in plasma and milk cortisol levels, as well as total somatic cell counts (SCC) in both colostrum and milk samples. Maximum beneficial effect was observed in T3 group. Results indicate that injections to peripartum cows could be an important strategy for improving colostrum quality and calf health during the summer seasons.

The Effect of Oral Diet Training in Indwelling Nasogastric Tube Patients with Prolonged Dysphagia.

Background: Patients with severe dysphagia are usually fed using a nasogastric tube (NGT). Many patients who receive long-term NGT feeding are unable to obtain sufficient nutrients orally immediately after NGT removal. Thus, a transitional period involving oral diet training is required to transition from NGT feeding to exclusive oral feeding. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of oral diet training in indwelling NGT patients with prolonged dysphagia. Methods: A total of 175 patients who were fed using an NGT for more than 4 weeks were enrolled. Their swallowing function was evaluated by a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). During the VFSS, patients received thick and thin barium while the NGT was inserted. Then, the patients underwent a VFSS without an NGT thirty minutes after NGT removal. If a patient had no aspiration with NGT inserted during the VFSS, oral diet training combined with NGT feeding was recommended. Results: Of the 49 indwelling NGT patients who were recommended to receive oral diet training, 39 (79.6%) transitioned to exclusive oral feeding. A transition period of 2-8 weeks was required for them to achieve full oral feeding. Patients who were eligible for oral feeding trials showed no significant aspiration during the VFSS with an NGT inserted and had sufficient cough function. Patients who required prolonged NGT feeding and who could not complete oral trials showed significant aspiration during the VFSS when an NGT was inserted. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that oral diet training combined with NGT feeding is safe in patients with prolonged dysphagia who have sufficient cough function and no aspiration during VFSS. We suggest that if the patient is a proper candidate for NGT removal, direct oral feeding training with an NGT inserted could be a useful therapeutic strategy during the transitional period from long-term NGT feeding to successful oral feeding.

The scheduling of adolescence with Netrin-1 and UNC5C.

Dopamine axons are the only axons known to grow during adolescence. Here, using rodent models, we examined how two proteins, Netrin-1 and its receptor, UNC5C, guide dopamine axons toward the prefrontal cortex and shape behaviour. We demonstrate in mice (Mus musculus) that dopamine axons reach the cortex through a transient gradient of Netrin-1-expressing cells - disrupting this gradient reroutes axons away from their target. Using a seasonal model (Siberian hamsters; Phodopus sungorus) we find that mesocortical dopamine development can be regulated by a natural environmental cue (daylength) in a sexually dimorphic manner - delayed in males, but advanced in females. The timings of dopamine axon growth and UNC5C expression are always phase-locked. Adolescence is an ill-defined, transitional period; we pinpoint neurodevelopmental markers underlying this period.

How Students Make Sense of Mentorship Experiences During the Transition from High School to College: A Positioning Analysis

&lt;i&gt;Mentorship in higher education is widely acknowledged for its positive impact on students. Many institutions have implemented one-on-one guidance systems, such as faculty advising programs and faculty/peer mentorship initiatives. Yet, there remains a gap in understanding how students perceive mentoring, particularly during the transitional period before and early in their time in college. In light of the increasing focus on emerging adulthood within the field of developmental psychology, understanding students’ academic development during their transitioning years, particularly the role of mentorship becomes increasingly essential. This qualitative study employs positioning analysis to explore students’ evolving sense-making of mentoring relationships during two distinct phases: the final year of high school and the first year of college. This research conducts a comparative analysis to investigate how two students’ perceptions of mentorship change during their transition into college and differ from one another. The study aims to illuminate students’ sense-making of mentors and mentorship experiences throughout their high school and college transition and explores the unique ways students discuss mentorship as they transition. The findings unveil the contrasting experiences and evolving roles of mentors of each participant through the lens of their lived experiences, providing an insight into students’ individual developing conceptions of mentors and mentorship experience. This study offers a nuanced understanding of first-year college students’ sense-making activities as they navigate the complexities and academic demands of college. The insights gained from this study not only illuminate how qualitative methods provide yet-to-be-understood processes but also can further contribute to designing mentorship programs in higher education settings tailored to meet students’ needs from the moment they step onto campus. As the research landscape continues to evolve, qualitative studies like this contribute to the ever-advancing knowledge and practice of mentorship in higher education, supporting the diverse developmental needs of today’s college students.&lt;/i&gt;

The Forensic Service (the Case Study of the Sverdlovsk Region in the 1920s–1940s)

The paper describes the process of formation and functioning of a specialized forensic service in the Urals in order to successfully combat crime during a diffi-cult unstable transition period for the country. The authors put museum information resources and archival documents as the substantive foundation of the paper. It is emphasized that the formation of the service begins with the relocation of specialists who organize this work to Sverdlovsk from Ufa. It is noted that in the 1920s there was an urgent need for personnel training for this type of activity, in connection with which courses for the training of forensic and technical experts at the Criminal Investigation Department of the NKVD were actively developing. Attention is focused on the importance of the issue of methodological support. In the 1920s the first textbook on forensic expertise appeared in Russia. During the study period, along with the need to work with traditional traces found at the scene, there was a need to detect and remove traces and objects during research that required the use of physico‑chemical methods in laboratories, in connection with which physicists and chemical experts appeared. Thus, the use of special research methods for objects seized from accident sites began in the late 1920s. In their conclusions, the authors note that the formation of an expert forensic service was carried out on the basis of scientific justification and methodological support of methods to combat unsolved crimes.

The Role of Sports in Preventing and Overcoming Problems During the Transition Period Case Study of Adolescents in Indonesia: Descriptive Study

This qualitative descriptive study explores the potential of sports activities in overcoming the challenges faced in the transition phase of adolescence. The literature highlights the values ​​and role of sport in this critical time. Adolescence is a time of significant physical, emotional, and social change as individuals navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. It is a period marked by the search for self-identity, the development of independence, and the exploration of various roles. Globalization is increasingly impacting teenagers, giving them access to a wealth of information and cultural influences from around the world. This exposure can shape their thinking, interactions, and consumption habits. Exercise has been shown to be beneficial during this time of transition, helping teens manage stress, improving their overall health, increasing self-esteem, and improving social skills. Additionally, participation in sports can foster discipline, teamwork, and leadership qualities. Therefore, sport is considered an important component of interventions aimed at overcoming challenges during adolescence.

An Analysis of Chinese Tea Brand Packaging Design in the Context of New National Color

Under the guidance of the new national color design concept, Chinese tea brand packaging design is in a transitional period of integrating traditional and modern elements. This study aims to analyze the packaging design practice under this trend. Through case studies of different tea brands with various varieties and regional cultural backgrounds, such as Fujian Zhengshantang, Hunan Anhua black tea, and Yunnan Pu’er tea, this paper reveals the formation of different tea brand packaging styles and design concepts under the new national color background. The study explores the integration of innovation and tradition, the in-depth expression of cultural connotations, and the innovation of consumer interactive experiences. This study adopts a qualitative analysis method, combined with interviews with brand designers and business managers, to explore the new concepts and packaging design strategies of tea brand packaging design in the context of the new national color. The study found that the new national color design not only successfully conveys the unique charm and cultural depth of tea culture but also further promotes international exchanges in tea culture and enhances the international image and market competitiveness of Chinese tea culture.

Levels, trends and inequalities in mortality among 5-19-year-olds in Tanzania: Magu Health and Demographic Surveillance Study (1995-2022).

For the past two decades, health priorities in Tanzania have focussed on children under-five, leaving behind the older children and adolescents (5-19 years). Understanding mortality patterns beyond 5 years is important in bridging a healthy gap between childhood to adulthood. We aimed to estimate mortality levels, trends, and inequalities among 5-19-year-olds using population data from the Magu Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (HDSS) in Tanzania and further compare the population level estimates with global estimates. Using data from the Magu HDSS from 1995 to 2022, from Kaplan Meir survival probabilities, we computed annual mortality probabilities for ages 5-9, 10-14 and 15-19 and determined the average annual rate of change in mortality by fitting the variance weighted least square regression on annual mortality probabilities. We compared 5-19 trends with younger children aged 1-4 years. We further disaggregated mortality by sex, area of residence and wealth tertiles, and we computed age-stratified risk ratios with respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox proportional hazard model to determine inequalities. We further compared population-level estimates in all-cause mortality with global estimates from the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation and the Global Burden of Disease study by computing the relative differences to the estimates. Mortality declined steadily among the three age groups from 1995 to 2022, whereby the average annual rate of decline increased with age (2.2%, 2.7%, and 2.9% for 5-9-, 10-14-, and 15-19-year-old age groups, respectively). The pace of this decline was lower than that of younger children aged 1-4 years (4.8% decline). We observed significant mortality inequalities with boys, those residing in rural areas, and those from poorest wealth tertiles lagging behind. While Magu estimates were close to global estimates for the 5-9-year-old age group, we observed divergent results for adolescents (10-19 years), with Magu estimates lying between the global estimates. The pace of mortality decline was lower for the 5-19-year-old age group compared to younger children, with observable inequalities by socio-demographic characteristics. Determining the burden of disease across different strata is important in the development of evidence-based targeted interventions to address the mortality burden and inequalities in this age group, as it is an important transition period to adulthood.
