PEDAGOGICAL TOOLS FOR DEVELOPING IMPROVISATION ABILITY OF FUTURE PRIMARY CLASS TEACHERS
Get PDFThis article talks about the competence of pedagogical improvisation, the importance of pedagogical improvisation in the educational system, ways to implement improvisation in the work of a future primary school teacher. In accordance with the main components of the educational process in changing conditions of pedagogical activity, pedagogical improvisation is a process aimed at clarifying the goals of a particular lesson, the content of the educational material, methodological perception and communication in accordance with the goal, and the naming of pedagogical improvisation in dictionaries is also described. The improvisational nature of pedagogical activity creates the necessary conditions for the satisfaction of the teacher's moral and psychological needs for success, professional and personal growth, which is measured by both career growth and the rise to the highest level of mastery and wisdom. The possibilities of various actions for teachers in the process of improvisation are highlighted, and the criteria for pedagogical improvisation are highlighted. In pedagogical improvisation, the components of the creative dominant are attention, imagination, and inspiration. We briefly touched upon the characteristics of pedagogical improvisation as a component of pedagogical creativity
PARENTAL ALCHEMY: NURSE -LED INTERVENTIONS IN TRANSFORMING BEHAVIOURAL CHALLENGES
Get PDFBehavioural problems in children refer to persistent patterns of disruptive, aggressive, defiant, or socially inappropriate behaviours that are not appropriate for the child’s age and developmental level. These behaviours often interfere with the child’s learning, social interactions, and daily functioning at home, school, or in the community. Mothers of children with behavioural problems often struggle with parenting and frequently adopt arbitrary or inconsistent approaches. In this study, non-probability convenience sampling was used to select eight mothers of children with behavioural problems for the phenomenological qualitative phase, and stratified purposive sampling was employed to select 60 mothers for the pre-experimental study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews for the qualitative phase, and the Parenting Practices Scale was used in the pre-experimental phase to assess parenting styles. The study explored and revealed six major themes: instruction, struggle, support, financial support, knowledge, and parenting burden. Each theme included specific sub-themes. The theme of instruction comprised admonition, parental presence, and non-compliance. Under the theme of struggle, the sub-themes of exasperation and altruism were identified. The support theme included husband and family support. The financial support theme encompassed schooling expenses and financial burden. The parenting burden theme consisted of sub-themes such as educational responsibilities, nurturing, guilt over ineffective parenting, and the emotional and mental well-being of mothers. This study highlighted the profound parenting challenges faced by mothers of children with behavioural problems. The insights gained from the semi-structured interviews were used to develop an appropriate intervention. Following the qualitative phase, the parenting styles of the mothers were evaluated using the Parenting Practices Scale, and the intervention was implemented effectively, as evidenced by the positive post-intervention results

NUTRITIONAL INTERVENTIONS AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN PEDIATRIC FOOD ALLERGIES: A REVIEW
Get PDFThe prevalence of childhood food allergies is increasing in both developed and developing countries, posing a significant public health challenge. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the prevention and management of food allergies, with a particular focus on the role of nutritional components and dietary practices in supporting immune system development and function. Key nutrients such as essential fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin D are believed to enhance the body’s anti- inflammatory and antioxidative defenses, thereby promoting immunological tolerance. Moreover, emerging research highlights the potential of prebiotics and probiotics in modulating gut microbiota and fostering a tolerogenic immune environment. These insights have prompted a critical reassessment of the traditional avoidance-based dietary strategies. Recent findings suggest that early exposure to a diverse range of dietary antigens during infancy may reduce the risk of allergic sensitization by supporting the maturation of the immune system. Consequently, both therapeutic and preventive interventions must be personalized, accounting for individual nutritional needs and allergic risk profiles

DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DORZOLAMIDE LOADED NOVASOMES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF GLAUCOMA
Get PDFA chronic eye condition called glaucoma is characterized by damage to the retinal nerve and progressive vision loss, primarily brought on by high intraocular pressure (IOP). It is one of the main causes of permanent blindness in the world. Currently, the first line of treatment for glaucoma involves pharmacological reduction of IOP through topical administration of drugs. However, because of the anatomical and physiological barriers in the eye, less than 5% of the injected dose usually reaches intraocular tissues. The goal of the research was to develop novasomes to create an efficient medication delivery system for ocular targeting. The solvent evaporation approach was used to develop dorzolamide novasomes utilizing different ratios of cholesterol and free fatty acids (linoleic acid). It was optimized by 32 factorial design. Free fatty acid and cholesterol concentrations were the factors under investigation, along with their effects on particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release. Particle size of all factorial batches was found between 54.1 nm to 434 nm. Batch F6 containing cholesterol and linoleic acid 1:2 proportion showed highest entrapment (98%). The amount of dorzolamide released in vitro from the prepared novasomal dispersions loaded with dorzolamide ranged from 62.76 to 99.76 % and release profile of novasomal batches comparing to eye suspension were better . Ex vivo chicken eye irritation study was performed to check irritation potential of dorzolamide loaded novasomes. In summary, dorzolamide novasomes is an efficient and versatile drug delivery approach which demonstrates significant potential in controlling glaucoma
PERIODONTAL PARAMETERS AND SHAPES OF MAXILLARY CANINES IN A MIDDLE EAST POPULATION – A PRELIMINARY REPORT
Get PDFBACKGROUND: The periodontium biotype shows considerable variation among individuals, and these differences are often linked to tooth crown morphology. The size, form, and shade of the maxillary canines significantly influence smile esthetics, with sexual dimorphism frequently observed. This study aimed to evaluate the crown forms of maxillary canines and their corresponding gingival characteristics in healthy Middle East Asian adults.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty systemically healthy males and females aged 21–35 years from the middle eastern population were examined. Clinical parameters recorded included crown width (CW), crown length (CL), mesiodistal width (MDW), contact surface length (CS), interproximal papilla height (Ph), and gingival angle (GA). Based on crown morphology, teeth were categorized as trapezoidal, pentagonal, or square (incisor-shaped) groups, which were compared for differences in these parameters.RESULTS: Significant differences were observed among crown shape groups for gingival angle (P < 0.05). In addition, correlations were found between crown morphology and parameters such as MDW/CL ratio.CONCLUSION: Maxillary canine crown shape is significantly associated with variations in gingival angle and MDW/CL ratio. These findings may provide valuable guidelines for esthetic planning in restorative and prosthodontic procedures involving maxillary canines
