The purpose of this paper was to examine celiac diseasepatients' attitudes and experiences with gluten-free diet declarations. 95 respondents from the area of HNŽ with adiagnosis of celiac disease were included in this quantitative research. The anonymous survey was conducted usingthe Google Forms tool. An anonymous survey examined sociodemographic data (age, gender, education, duration ofillness), experiences and attitudes with declarations about gluten-free diet. In this research, more than half of therespondents are extremely careful about what they consume, without exception. Participants who have beendiagnosed with celiac disease for a longer period of time completely disagree to a greater extent that they do notknow what products they can consume. Individuals with gluten sensitivity may rely more on the 'gluten-free' claimfor information about the gluten content of a product. Individuals with celiac disease, on the other hand, may bemore experienced readers of food labels and may rely more on the ingredient list. Consumer expectations havedriven the food industry to continuously adapt and improve the formulations and processing techniques used in theproduction of gluten-free products.","PeriodicalId":17821,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge International Journal","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89126727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strong self-esteem is associated with good psychologicalhealth. Children spend most of their days in school and this environment forms the sense of worth for manychildren. Dyslexia regularly causes failure in school and is usually accompanied by behavioral and emotionalproblems: instability, lack of discipline, resistance, passive or aggressive attitude, refusal of school, isolation, andfeelings of inferiority (Shaywitz S.E., Shaywitz J.E., Shaywitz B.A. (2021). The most common mistakes, such asblaming the child for poor school performance or attributing the cause to psychological problems, regularly lead topoor self-image, affect their confidence, or low self-esteem (Chica, 2017). School can quickly shatter the self-esteemof a dyslexic child. Dyslexia has a negative effect on self-esteem, but this effect depends on levels of support athome and at school. Clinical research shows the emotional and motivational factors associated with dyslexia.The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors that influence the self-esteem of students with dyslexia.Provides a brief overview of some of the key literature in this area and then describes a study conducted in threemainstream primary schools in the eastern part of the Republic of North Macedonia.Methodology: data were collected using semi-structured interviews with students who received an official diagnosisof dyslexia. Eleven students voluntarily participated in an interview. The study looked at the influence of factorssuch as comparisons with other students and the influence of teachers, peers and family on students' self-esteem.The results of the study show that these factors contribute significantly to the self-esteem of students with dyslexia.The most significant contributor to students' self-esteem is being diagnosed with dyslexia and being labeled.Conclusions: Dyslexic children with high self-esteem display more confidence and will volunteer answers or try outnew subjects/tasks than lower self-esteem children. These high self-esteem children expect to succeed and attributesuccess to their skill/ability.Recommendations: early diagnosis of dyslexia is essential to creating a positive self-image and recommends thatfurther research is needed on the meaning of the diagnosis for these learners. Children with dyslexia can achievehigher self-esteem, not just developed communication and writing competence.","PeriodicalId":17821,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge International Journal","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82709548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jovic","doi":"10.35120/kij5403471d","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35120/kij5403471d","url":null,"abstract":"Products made of polymer materials are obtained by turning the raw material from which it is madeunder the influence of temperature and, in some cases, high pressure, into a liquid state and filling the mold cavity.This transition is often problematic because very quickly when transitioning to the liquid state, irreversible chemicalprocesses begin to occur in the material, and it is necessary that the process of reverse crystallization takes a veryshort time. This problem is very pronounced with products made of rubber. When making the raw mixture, aprocedure must be followed regarding the speed of mixing, the order of adding the components and the duration ofthe process itself. In the case of poorly chosen mixing parameters, agglomerations may occur in the structure of theproduct, which can later negatively affect the exploitation of the product itself. When the raw rubber begins totransition into the liquid phase and fills the mold cavity, the layers that are in contact with the tool form the finalstructure and shape. In case the chemical system is not balanced, i.e., speed of spilling, it may happen that the rubberdoes not fill the mold cavity and a scrap is obtained. Another problem is that if the closing speed of the tool is high,an airy structure of the material or some kind of defect in the structure may appear. Regarding this phenomenon, itmust be taken into account that the speed of spilling is always higher than the speed of closing the tool. In the caseof poor selection of vulcanization temperature and vulcanizer, certain chemical compounds may also appear thatnegatively affect the properties of the product. Also, special attention must be paid to the working environment, as itvery often happens that external bodies are found in the structure of the product, which are related to mixing andpressing procedures. The release of the material structure belongs to a special group of tests and is alwaysaccompanied by the destruction of the product. According to the type of examination, it belongs to visual control,and according to the degree of optical magnification, to macro and micro examinations. Eye inspection belongs tomacroscopic tests and is used to check the exterior of the product and this type of test is convenient because it is fastand reliable. Microscopic examinations of rubber are very complex and it is complicated because rubber is not atransparent material. Therefore, the examination of the structure is carried out on SEM (scanning electronmicroscope). The preparation of the sample includes vaporization with gold, and then the samples are placed in aspecial chamber where they are bombarded with electrons and the structure is observed on a monitor. Depending onthe type of error in rubber products, they can be divided into those related to material technology and those causedby external impurities. Those related to the manufacturing technology can be different, agglomerations and variouschemical compounds can occur during mixing.","PeriodicalId":17821,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge International Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75156687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational approaches developed for online classes required students’ activities that wouldfurther motivate them to study. In the academic year 2021/22, educational contents were enhanced with additionallinking of certain educational contents, which resulted from the obvious need to make the material as interesting aspossible, and to awaken curiosity about the contents. In this paper it is shown how a specific digital simulation canbe used for a teaching topic for which it was not originally intended, and it was also shown that in this way a usefulcorrelation of different teaching contents can be realized. The significance of the above-mentioned correlation isreflected in the fact that it requires a teaching approach that leads to more effective learning process in class as wellas to greater motivation and greater activation of students in the class. A simulation related to the oscillation of amathematical pendulum is described in this paper, i. e. its ability to choose different strengths of gravitational fieldsin which the pendulum oscillates, i. e. different gravitational accelerations. It was researched how students thinkwhen for the given phenomena a zero gravity is approximated. It was researched whether the students realized achange in their activities both in class and in their motivation for work. It is interesting that only after theimplementation of weightlessness as an educational content in the existing educational content on oscillatorymotion, the teacher saw certain alternative conceptions that some students built when they were studying aboutoscillations.","PeriodicalId":17821,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge International Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75166301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The component with the most psychotropic action is Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9 -THC), and the major non-psychoactive ingredient is cannabidiol (CBD). Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol firstly wasisolated in 1969 by Robert Mechoulm and Yechiel Gaoni. In 2003 World Health Organization put Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol in Schedule IV of the convention. Several therapeutic indications relate to the Δ9 -THC andCBD as analgesia, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, and many other cases. In some studies, there arereported safety concerns about the registered side effects of Δ9 - THC as a psychoactive. For that reason, the legalusage of cannabis for medicinal purposes and for recreational use is regulated differently. The most relevantexplanation is related to the not enough sufficient results and data obtained from the pharmacokinetic studies andresearch in pharmacological behavior. Extracts of cannabis was used from many years ago. Nowadays inpharmaceutical industry as the development of technology there are many dosage forms in where extracts,cannabinoids, flower are used. Medicinal cannabis products can come in many different forms, including capsules,drops, chewable, creams, crystals, flower, lozenges, oil (most common), oro-mucosal sprays, tinctures and manymore. Also, there are synthetic analogs to nature cannabinoids in pharmaceutical market. In this study will bediscussed about production of semisolid pharmaceutical forms obtained from medical cannabis. They are producedin pharmaceutical grade equipment, high-pressure homogenizer mixer. In this study it will be discussed about theprocess of equipment qualification. Firstly, by the user requirement specification, design qualification protocol wasapproved. Then factory acceptance test was performed in production site of equipment and site acceptance test wasperformed in costumer’s site. Then installation qualification protocol was look through and then operationalqualification protocol also. All the qualification protocols were approved by both sides. In different qualificationprotocols, different tests were performed, and they are explained separately.
