Abstract

General Background: Urinary tract infections are among the most frequent bacterial infections occurring during pregnancy and may progress from mild lower tract involvement to severe renal complications. Specific Background: Inflammatory markers such as white blood cells, C-reactive protein, proteinuria, red blood cells, and procalcitonin are associated with infection severity but remain underexplored in regional clinical settings. Knowledge Gap: Limited data exist regarding the bacterial distribution and inflammatory marker patterns among pregnant women with UTIs in Al-Diwaniyah City. Aims: This study aimed to identify causative bacteria and assess inflammatory markers in pregnant women diagnosed with urinary tract infections. Results: A cross-sectional analysis of 140 pregnant women revealed significant variation in UTI severity across gestational ages, with mild cases predominating in the first trimester and more severe cases in later stages. The highest inflammatory marker levels were observed in very severe infections. Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated pathogen (55%), followed by Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter. Novelty: The study integrates bacterial profiling with inflammatory marker assessment to describe severity patterns during pregnancy. Implications: These findings support the use of inflammatory markers as indicators of UTI severity and contribute region-specific data for maternal infection management. Keywords: Urinary Tract Infection, Pregnancy, Inflammatory Markers, Bacterial Pathogens, Gestational Age Key Findings Highlights: Disease severity varied significantly across pregnancy trimesters. Severe cases showed markedly elevated inflammatory marker levels. Gram-negative bacteria dominated infection profiles among participants.

Abstract

General Background: Interactive conversation skills and literacy are fundamental competencies in 21st-century elementary education, supporting communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Specific Background: Fourth-grade students at SDN Tegal Kunir Lor II demonstrated low interactive conversation skills and literacy, associated with conventional instruction, minimal integration of digital technology, and limited collaborative learning practices. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have examined Problem Based Learning (PBL), digital reading, or collaborative approaches independently, yet empirical evidence integrating these three components within a single experimental framework remains limited. Aims: This study analyzes the partial and simultaneous effects of PBL with collaborative digital reading on students’ interactive conversation skills and literacy. Results: Using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design involving 40 students, multivariate analysis indicated a significant difference between groups (Pillai’s Trace = 0.858; F = 111.728; p < 0.05). Partial analysis showed significant differences in interactive conversation skills (F = 173.709; p < 0.05; R² = 0.821) and literacy (F = 2.376; p < 0.05; R² = 0.059). Novelty: The study integrates PBL, collaborative digital reading, and simultaneous multivariate analysis of communication and literacy outcomes in primary education. Implications: The findings recommend PBL with collaborative digital reading as an alternative instructional model to develop interactive communication and literacy competencies in elementary classrooms. Highlights• Multivariate analysis confirmed significant differences across both assessed competencies.• Experimental group demonstrated higher posttest mean scores than the control group.• Problem-solving activities combined with group-based digital texts supported measurable learning outcomes.

Abstract

General Background: Explanatory text writing is a fundamental literacy competence in elementary education requiring logical organization, causal reasoning, and structured academic language. Specific Background: Prior studies report that students experience difficulties in understanding explanatory text structure and cause–effect relationships, often due to limited interactive pedagogy and insufficiently engaging learning media. Knowledge Gap: Although collaborative learning, storybooks, and animation media have been examined separately, limited empirical research integrates these three approaches simultaneously within explanatory writing instruction at the elementary level. Aims: This study aims to examine the partial, simultaneous, and interaction effects of collaborative learning, storybooks, and animation media on sixth-grade students’ explanatory writing skills. Results: Using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design involving 120 students across four public elementary schools, findings revealed significant effects of collaborative learning (F=78.239; p<0.05), storybooks (F=58.153; p<0.05), and animation media (F=96.504; p<0.05). Simultaneous regression analysis indicated a significant combined model (F=287.779; p<0.05), while factorial ANCOVA demonstrated a strong interaction effect (F=352.605; p<0.05; Partial Eta Squared=0.597). Novelty: This research provides empirical evidence of a collaborative–multimodal instructional model integrating social interaction, narrative scaffolding, and visual animation in explanatory text writing. Implications: The findings support the implementation of integrated collaborative learning supported by storybooks and animation media to foster structured reasoning, text organization, and sustainable written literacy development in elementary classrooms. Highlights Collaborative group work produced substantially higher posttest scores than conventional instruction. Narrative-based materials provided the strongest predictive contribution in the regression model. Multimodal integration generated a large interaction effect size in factorial ANCOVA analysis.
