Aim/Purpose: In the modern world, simulation has become a new phenomenon in education, which conveys new and innovative ideas of curriculum, instruction, and classroom management. It makes certain of Aristotle’s words when he said that “The things we have to learn before we do them, we must learn by doing them”. One might think that simulation in education is one of these technologies. This study examined preservice and new teachers’ perceptions about the con-cept of conflict and educational conflict management in a simulation workshop conducted at the Academic Arab College’s Simulation Center in Haifa, Israel. Background: Simulation engages learners in “deep learning” and empowers their understanding. In other words, simulation provides an alternative real world experience. As part of our work at the Educational Simulation Center in the Arab Academic College in Haifa, Israel, we examined the performance and contribution of educators who visit the center and participate in educational conflict management simulation workshops. Methodology: A mixed methods study was conducted. A total of 237 participants of preservice teachers from diverse professions were divided into 15 groups to examine the research question: How does the experience of participating in a simulation workshop affect preservice teachers’ perception about the concept of conflict? Contribution: This study seeks to contribute to simulation and conflict management in education. This contribution to the body of literature can help researchers, scholars, students, and education technology professionals to advance simulation research studies. Findings: The study findings indicate that there is a high degree of satisfaction (more than 90%) among preservice teachers in participating in the workshop. It also indicates a positive and significant change in participants’ perceptions of the concept of conflict and the management of conflict situations. Recommendations for Practitioners: In light of the study findings, it is recommended that new teachers be exposed to simulation workshops with a variety of scenarios dealing with different conflict situations. This exposure could contribute to their professional development and conduct in a more efficient and convenient manner in schools.

The Impact

Abstract Background: Much literature deals with patients who use drugs and have partners who are drug-free. However, concordant couples, in which both partners are consuming drugs, are sparsely examined in the literature. This might be due to the fact, that couples are rarely treated together in healthcare services. Despite that fact we propose that it is feasible and clinically meaningful to treat concordant couples in the same ward. Consequently, this study pursues the goal to expand the body of knowledge in the treatment of concordant couples investigating the research question: is it feasible, clinically and prognostically meaningful to treat these patients in the same ward? Method: This exploratory study included five concordant couples (ten patients), which were simultaneously treated between August 2013 and November 2014 in a specialised substance use ward at the Psychiatric Hospital Münsterlingen, Switzerland. All patients passed through a psychodynamic characterisation based on the OPD-II interview and the Structured Interview for Personality Organization. Symptom load was measured with the Brief Symptom Inventory at admission and termination of treatment. We calculated comparisons at the individual level using t-tests for paired samples. Results: We showed that it is feasible and clinically meaningful to treat couples concordant for substance use in the same ward. The psychodynamic characterization of the five concordant couples revealed recurring patterns of collusion, involving divided roles between dependence and independence, caregiving and neediness, activity and passivity, control and submission, strength and deficiency as well as superiority and inferiority. The patients didn´t change significantly on the BSI between pre- to post-treatment, although men (d = 1.64) benefited to a greater extent than women (d = 0.10). Conclusion: Treating concordant couples together in the same inpatient setting is unusual, but feasible and clinically useful, because it makes it possible to take into account the couples dynamics in the treatment.

The Impact

Childhood emotional and behavioral problems are prevalent in elementary classroom settings, making it imperative that high-quality, efficacious training be available to support teachers in managing disruptive and distressed child behaviors. Our study used a randomized control design to examine the impact of 36 hours of preservice education targeted at improving the attitudes of teachers toward children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, and developing their skills in using proactive and preventative strategies to address anticipated behavioral challenges. Eighty-two preservice teachers were randomly assigned to an elective course on management of emotional and behavioral problems (50 teachers) or to an alternate elective of their choice (32 teachers). Results highlight the positive influence of targeted preservice instruction; specifically, there were medium to large posttest effect size differences between preservice teachers who received this elective as compared with those who did not on measures of teachers’ use of psychological pressure (e.g., teacher disappointment and shaming; d = 0.76), their positive emotions ( d = 0.69), negative reactions ( d = 1.05), and their use of proactive strategies ( d = 1.43 and 1.59), inadequate strategies ( d = 0.73), and reactive strategies ( d = 1.01) in response to challenging child behaviors in simulated classrooms. No significant intervention-related differences were noted in preservice teacher self-efficacy, endorsement of rules and control, warmth and support, or negative beliefs. Overall, results provide promising evidence that preservice training can effectively affect the immediate attitudes and skills of teachers for supporting children with emotional and behavioral problems in a regular classroom context.

In recent decades, the loss of newborn calves occurs mainly from non-infectious diseases. It is established that in the process of growth and development, especially after birth, the animal has to experience the action of anthropogenic environmental factors that cause various kinds of adaptive reactions of the body. Currently, probiotic drugs are increasingly evaluated not only for their antimicrobial action but also for the characteristics of the impact on the body and its microbiota in the development of the need to strengthen the immune response, in the treatment and treatment of calf diarrhoea. It should be noted that in the modern world, a special place is occupied by studies of lactic acid bacteria associated with the development of biological products with probiotic function. The article presents the results of studying the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of the probiotic drug "Lactobacterin-TK2" in gastrointestinal diseases of newborn calves and its effect on the immune and biological status. According to the results of the study, it was found that daily feeding of the probiotic drug "Lactobacterin-TK2" to newborn calves from the moment of birth 2 times a day for 10 days increases the nonspecific resistance of the body and the safety of calves. Haematological and biochemical analysis of experimental groups of calves showed a faster normalisation of the level of alkaline phospha-tase, glucose, urea, magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus, which also indicates a complete recovery.

The question of teacher leadership is inextricably tied to teacher effectiveness. Leadership forms the foundation of classroom management and permeates all aspects of the curriculum. While many new teachers have visions of the kinds of leaders they wish to become, this vision is often complicated by the everyday realities of classroom life. Faced with increasingly difficult circumstances, it becomes infinitely more important for teachers to foster the trust and confidence required to make meaningful connections with their students. This article discusses the qualities of effective leaders and the impact of effective leadership on students. It also considers some of the challenges that arise when pursuing one’s vision of leadership.

Relevant Factors

In this theoretical contribution, we propose a comprehensive and integrative heuristic model to explain fertility, the Model of Dyadic Pathways (MDP). We show how existing models such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour often do not withstand empirical challenges, especially not individual self-reports in qualitative studies. Furthermore, existing models vary in their premises and foci, resulting in a collection of models which do not necessarily align with or supplement one another. For these reasons, these heuristic models have been widely criticised and, in practice, pieced together according to the research question and tradition of the researcher. Against this backdrop, we establish the MDP to reconnect theory with reality and to unify a variety of approaches. The MDP is grounded on the dyad of partners as the prevalent basis of fertility. It integrates reasoned and unreasoned fertility behaviour, the impact of individual- and couple-level life course, soci(et)al conditions, and the body as an “actor”. The model explicitly accounts for the variety of different real-life pathways that lead to fertility. It thereby encourages researchers to, first, consider all potentially relevant factors and their mechanisms and, second, think of fertility and its measurement as a multilinear process. Based on the presented elements a comprehensive model of fertility must cover, we suggest ways to improve surveys accordingly. Furthermore, we elaborate on the contributions and challenges the MDP presents to future fertility research.

The Relationship

Perceiving an architectural work requires a comprehensive understanding of its context, since the context has a direct impact on both the body and the activities. This recognition can be examined from two aspects: the study of natural and geographical conditions and human-based conditions which include the symbolic, religious-cultural, historical, social, and economic values. What has been considered through this article was the effect of these factors on the type of communication between the spaces. Due to the climate and cultural characteristics across Guilan province, it seems that the spaces from their public realm- that is from the neighbourhood spaces to their most exclusive parts- include rooms and closed spaces that have such continuity which was created by the elements of the boundary between these spaces. These elements link the spaces together and lead to a hierarchy of activities. The research question is whether the relationship between spaces and spatial continuity in traditional architecture of Rasht is influenced by the capabilities of the context or not? This is a descriptive-analytical research, which used a qualitative research method. Data collection was carried out by using desk research method   and field observations. The data was analysed through content analysis and independent of numerical documentation within an analogy process. With respect to the effect of filed capabilities on the traditional architecture in Rasht city, first a sample of buildings was selected and the physical elements contributing to continuity of the space have been studied. Then, the effect of the context-based capabilities on them was considered. It was found that these capabilities contributed to formation of the physical elements and behavioural patterns which itself can affect the type of relationship between space and its continuity within old urban tissues of Rasht, including the sensory continuity and the physical continuity between the spaces.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe three preservice teachers’ beliefs as they evolved throughout a 4-year teacher preparation program. Data collection spanned 5 years and included formal interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and document analysis of reflective writings. The results indicated that participants assimilated program messages into their beliefs about teaching physical education relative to elementary content, teaching effectiveness, and the importance of planning. Participants were less likely to assimilate program messages about classroom management and the purpose of physical education due to the impact of their own biographies. Participants were in favor of emphasizing effort and participation and rejected the program philosophy on assessment of student learning. Data suggest that participants’ K–12 school experiences as well as their lived experiences play a powerful role in the formation of their beliefs about teaching physical education.

Introduction. In the modern world, the introduction of digital technologies in healthcare is one of the priorities of development, which opens up a wide range of opportunities from screening and monitoring to various health disorders. In 2020 we completed the work to evaluate the applied capabilities of contactless videoplethysmography based on the telemetric control system developed by us and patented using the DISITA software and hardware complex during pre-trip post-trip medical examinations in 19 drivers of passenger vehicles. The study aims to explore the possibilities of the data of variational heart rate monitoring using reflected video plethysmography in assessing drivers' performance in their work. We have identified the most sensitive and significant heart rate variability indicators that reflect the professional load's impact. Materials and methods. We carried out during the usual pre-trip examination, video plethysmography of the skin of the face of the subjects in parallel in conditions of both natural daylight and typical artificial lighting of medical and diagnostic rooms, at a distance of the recording WEB camera of the DISITA software and hardware complex from the face of the subject within 40-70 cm. Researchers examined the methodological recommendations developed by the Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health team and RT-Medicine JSC. Results. We use videoplethysmography to evaluate variational heart rate monitoring as a method for assessing functional states during mass pre-trip (pre-shift) and post-trip (post-shift) medical examinations. In this case, the heart rate estimated by palpation was identical to the heart rate obtained by videoplethysmography. The most sensitive parameters characterizing the impact of professional load on drivers were changes in the indicators of variational heart rate monitoring: SDNN, RMSSD, CV, TR, HF, LF, and the waves of vasomotion regulation. Conclusions. Videoplethysmography with an assessment of the data of variational heart rate monitoring can be used to predict the functional state (stability of the body) of drivers in the course of their professional activities.

The Impact

In one year, I moved from a diverse school where I felt pretty and smart to a predominantly White school where I felt ugly and dumb. This autoethnography examines how a little African American girl’s transfer from an urban to a suburban school resulted in a paradigm shift that had and continues to have profound consequences on her identity development and subsequent choices and practices as a marginalized student struggling to succeed academically, a teacher grappling with professional identity, and a doctoral student hoping to help preservice teachers prepare to meet the needs of diverse students. The research question that prompted this exploration is How does teacher-student (dis)connection impact the identity development of students of color in U.S. schools, and these same students’ professional identity development should they later become teachers themselves? In a larger social context, this work examines the impact of a culture of care, or lack thereof, in the milieu of teaching and learning, especially as it relates to the academic and personal growth and development of Black and Brown students in U.S. public schools. The inquiry aids in unpacking, storying, and restorying the school-related lived experiences of the researcher. The narrative exemplars that are illuminated reinforce the personal, relational, and professional significance of creating a school and classroom culture of care; and the “truths” revealed may offer new knowledge that encourages today’s teachers to develop behaviors and practices that lead to safe, productive, culturally solicitous learning environments.
