Pedagogy of gamification: democratic participation and student autonomy
Get PDFGamification has emerged as an innovative pedagogical approach that integrates game elements into non-game educational contexts in order to enhance motivation, engagement, and learning effectiveness. This paper examines the pedagogy of gamification with a specific focus on democratic participation and student autonomy in the teaching and learning process. Grounded in democratic pedagogy, gamification is viewed as a means of positioning students at the center of learning, encouraging active participation, shared decision-making, and responsibility for one’s own learning progress.
The paper presents key theoretical perspectives on gamification and clarifies the distinction between gamification and game-based learning, emphasizing the flexibility of gamified strategies in comparison to traditional games. Core game elements such as challenges, rewards, feedback, missions, and digital platforms are discussed as tools that support inclusive, interactive, and personalized learning environments.
Special emphasis is placed on the potential of gamification to promote student autonomy through self-regulated learning, goal setting, choice, and reflection. At the same time, gamification is analyzed as a mechanism for strengthening democratic values by fostering collaboration, equity, dialogue, and student voice in the classroom.
The paper also critically addresses potential limitations of gamification, including excessive competition, superficial learning, dependency on external rewards, and unequal participation. Practical recommendations are provided to overcome these challenges through cooperative game mechanics, differentiated activities, and a focus on intrinsic motivation.
The findings suggest that when thoughtfully designed and pedagogically grounded, gamification can transform the educational process into a dynamic, engaging, and democratic learning experience that empowers students as autonomous and responsible learner
A recent review of the impact of lavender essential oil on male and female sex hormonеs
Get PDFObjective: This review critically evaluates the evidence regarding the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of
lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Lamiaceae) essential oil and its main components, linalool (Lin) and linalyl
acetate (LinAc). Case reports have suggested that continuous dermal exposure to lavender-containing products may
be linked to prepubertal gynecomastia and premature helarche in children [1]. Early in vitro findings indicated weak estrogenic and anti-androgenic activities of lavender oil constituents, raising concerns about their possible role as endocrine disruptors [2]. This review aims to determine whether these concerns are supported by studies and
regulatory data generated in recent years. Methods: A structured literature review was conducted, covering case
reports, mechanistic in vitro assays, in silico approaches, and follow-up in vivo studies in rodents. Eligible studies
included those examining lavender essential oil or its isolated constituents, provided that experimental details and models were adequately described. Results: Although early investigations reported weak Estrogen Receptor (ER)
activation and anti-androgenic effects in cell-based systems, these findings were not reproduced in recent guideline ER or Androgen Receptor (AR) reporter assays. Regulatory in vitro studies showed no consistent estrogenic or antiandrogenic activity for Lin or LinAc, with AUC values of 0 or close to 0 in EPA ToxCast analyses [3]. In vivo
reproductive and developmental toxicity screening tests in rats revealed no significant changes in sex steroid
hormone–sensitive endpoints, such as nipple retention, timing of puberty, or fertility parameters, apart from
nonspecific systemic toxicity at high oral doses. Epidemiological support remains weak, as case reports are limited by methodological issues, potential confounders, and lack of plausible dose–response relationships. Conclusions:
The current body of evidence does not support lavender essential oil or its main constituents as clinically relevant endocrine disruptors. Concerns raised by case reports and isolated in vitro findings are not substantiated by validated in vitro assays, computational models, or in vivo studies. These results emphasize the importance of integrating multiple lines of evidence before proposing causal links between exposure to natural products and endocrine-related outcomes. Further research should focus on potential confounding components in cosmetic formulations and employ standardized protocols to resolve remaining uncertainties

Одржливост и дигитализација во туристичката дестинација и хотелскиот сектор
Get PDFВо ерата на брзото технолошко напредување и глобалните промени, концептите на одржливост и дигитализација стануваат не само трендови, туку неопходности за развој на туристичките дестинации и хотелскиот сектор. Како што светот продолжува да се трансформира, така и туристичката индустрија се соочува со нови предизвици и можности. Оваа книга ја истражува синергијата помеѓу одржливоста и дигитализацијата, и како тие можат да се применат за да се создадат иновативни, еколошки одговорни и конкурентни туристички дестинации и хотели
Бенефит од третманот со интравенска склерозација кај пациент со периферна артериска болест – приказ на случај
Get PDFБолеста на периферните артерии (ПАБ) е сложен процес. Спречувањето на големи ампутации секогаш треба да биде камен-темелник во третманот. ПАБ влијае на периферната васкулатура и може да предизвика гангрена, интермитентна клаудикација, исхемична непријатност за одмор, исхемични чиреви и функционално оштетување. Постои тенка гранична линија помеѓу периферниот артериски систем и периферниот површен венски систем и затоа овие два системи можеме да ги сметаме како еден систем, особено кај пациенти со докажана инсуфициенција на површински вени.
Цел: За да ги заштитиме пациентите со ПАБ и воедно со венска инсуфициенција од идни несакани компликации обезбедивме случај кога со склероза на површинските вени обезбедуваме подобра периферна артериска циркулација, докажано преку испитување на артерискиот проток пред и после интервенцијат
Dermoscopy in diagnosis of inflammatory dermatoses: a case report of patient with lichen planus
Get PDFIntroduction: Dermoscopy, traditionally used in diagnosing pigmented lesions and skin cancers, has developed as a helpful method in assessing inflammatory dermatoses. By providing improved visualization of vascular patterns, scales, and follicular structures, dermoscopy helps in distinguishing between various inflammatory skin disorders. Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory dermatosis that involves the skin, scalp, nails and mucous membranes. Characterized by pruritic, violaceous, flat-topped papules, LP has a distinct clinical presentation, but dermoscopy provides enhanced diagnostic accuracy by revealing specific patterns not visible to the naked eye. White crossing streaks (Wickham striae) are the main characteristic of lichen planus. Vessels with different appearance (dotted and linear) may be found at the periphery of the lesion. This report outlines the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing LP, highlighting key dermoscopic patterns.
Case report: A 41-year-old female patient without disease history, no drug intake nor buccal involvement came in the hospital due to pruritic erythematous papules with two months of evolution localized on the trunk and around the wrists on both of his arms. Dermoscopy of the lesion on the patient’s trunk revealed small pinpoint vessels associated with white crossing streaks on an erythematosus background. Histopathologic examination revealed characteristic interface dermatitis. The diagnosis of lichen planus (LP) was considered after clinical and dermoscopic correlation, and confirmed histologically. Screening for hepatitis B and C was negative. Under appropriate treatment the lesions regressed.
Conclusion: Dermoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis of lichen planus. The dermoscopic patterns can help differentiate LP from other dermatoses, especially in early or atypical cases. Dermoscopic signs of active LP include Wickham striae (WS) and vascular structures (red dots, radial capillaries). WS are considered pathognomonic of LP. However, their absence should not exclude the diagnosis. WS could be absent in treated LP. Dermoscopy provides better treatment outcome in patients with LP, as vascular structures and WS tend to disappear under appropriate treatment
Machine Learning Models for Prediction of COVID-19 Infection in North Macedonia
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the
SARS-CoV-2 virus, has emerged as one of the most
significant global crises of this century, with severe
health and socio-economic impacts worldwide. Existing
research has highlighted the critical role of
comorbidities in influencing COVID-19 outcomes, but
effective prediction models remain a challenge. This
study investigates the potential of machine learning
algorithms to predict the outcomes of COVID-19 based
on patients' comorbidities. The algorithms K-Nearest
Neighbors, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and
Random Forest are applied to an epidemiological
dataset comprising only positive COVID-19 cases,
obtained from the Public Health Institute of North
Macedonia. Additionally, two ensemble learning
techniques, XGBoost and RUSBoost, are used to
enhance prediction accuracy. The models achieved high
accuracy of 90% across the various algorithms. These
findings suggest that machine learning models can be an
effective tool for predicting COVID-19 outcomes,
especially when comorbidity data is available
