Authors: CHRISTMAS Sandy Kurnia , ANGELIQUE Aurellia , ANNISYAPUTRI Annisyaputri , VITRANILLA Yudith Evametha
Published: June 2024

Sustainable Development Goals are an agenda to increase inclusive economic growth in a region. Pontianak City as the capital of West Kalimantan Province has an important role in increasing the realization of this development by implementing policies oriented towards sustainable development, specifically in fulfilling access to decent work in Pontianak City. One of the employment sectors that is of concern is providing access to decent work for parking attendants. The aim of this research is to examine whether the fulfillment of access to decent work for parking attendants has been fully fulfilled by looking at access to the fulfillment of human rights and compliance with the laws regulated in existing regulatory policies in the City of Pontianak. This research was carried out using socio-legal research methods as it will examine social rules which are confirmed based on existing laws in legislation. The results of this research show that in fulfilling access to decent work within the standards set in the sustainable development goals, there are still several indicators that have not been met. One aspect of access to decent work for parking attendants that has not been met is that social security is still not a priority, as well as the lack of availability of laws governing parking management in Pontianak City. So there needs to be consideration and strengthening in fulfilling the law so that parking attendants get clear legal status with legal availability to realize decent work and economic growth in accordance with the 8 Sustainable Development Goals

Published: June 2024

This research chose the high school level because it is the last level before entering higher education (PT), which is different from the vocational school level, where apart from going to PT, you can also directly enter the world of work or industry. The city of Kupang was chosen because it is still a barometer of education in NTT Province. This research used a qualitative approach with 81 informants. Primary and secondary data were obtained through interviews, observation and literature review. Data were analyzed using techniques from Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which included data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. The research results show that the characters of the actors implementing the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) in secondary education services at high schools in Kupang City, whether performing well or poorly, were analyzed using the grid model from Bryson (2004). Findings show that: High Interest – Low Power (Subjects): Teachers involved in the school education quality assurance team (TPMPS) at SMAN 2 Kupang and SMAN 6 Kupang do not understand their role in the Team. High Interest – High Power (Players): Supervisors from the provincial education office and school principals as managers in educational units do not know the SPMI team but know the school development team (TPS) at SMAN 2 and the curriculum development team (TPK) at SMAN 6 Kupang. Low Interest – High Power (Context Setters): Committees and administration understand their role as directors and administrative staff but do not know the TPK team. Low Interest – Low Power (Crowd): Students and their parents are not required to be involved in implementing SPMI but must bear the costs of education and are entitled to the best educational services.

Authors: Tooba Saleem  , Dr Richa Kashyap  , Dr. Puja Sharma  , Dr. Pradeep Choudhary
Published: June 2024

Background: The signs and symptoms of adhesive capsulitis, another name for frozen shoulder, include shoulder joint stiffness and pain. Conventional rehabilitation methods concentrate on enhancing shoulder range of motion and minimizing discomfort. It has been suggested that by enhancing scapular kinematics and muscle activation patterns, scapular stabilization workouts can improve functional outcomes. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of a scapular stabilization exercise program in individuals receiving rehabilitation for frozen shoulder. Methods: Forty people who had been diagnosed with frozen shoulder participated in a randomized controlled trial. One of two groups the scapular stability exercise Group A or the standard rehabilitation Group B was assigned at random to each participant. The eight-week intervention consisted of five thirty minute sessions, held five times a week. For eight weeks, Group A supplemented their traditional range of motion exercises with scapular stabilization exercises. Sessions lasted thirty minutes, consisted of ten repetitions each, and were conducted five days a week. Group B carried on with just traditional workouts. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale NPRS Goniometry for range of motion tests, and the Disability Associated with the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand DASH questionnaire at the beginning of the experiment. Follow up assessments were carried out after the eight week intervention phase. Results and Conclusion: When compared to the control group, the scapular stabilization group showed better results in terms of reduced discomfort and increased mobility. This implies that adding scapular stabilization exercises to the adhesive capsulitis treatment regimen could result in improved therapeutic outcomes. Larger sample sizes and longer follow up times are required for future study in order to confirm these results and improve adhesive capsulitis patient’s treatment plans.

Published: June 2024

Background: Fear of crime significantly undermines community cohesion, transforming public spaces into perceived no-go areas due to heightened insecurity. This social issue notably affects women, limiting their engagement in public life and escalating safety-related expenditures and avoidance behaviors.
Objective: The study aims to explore the fear of crime victimization among females in public spaces, focusing on the intensity of their fear, the factors contributing to it, and the resultant consequences on their personal and social lives.
Methods: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured in-depth interviews with thirty female residents of the hostels at the University of Punjab, Lahore. Participants were selected until saturation was achieved, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena. The interview data were thematically analyzed to extract pertinent themes related to the research objectives.
Results: The findings reveal that females feel significantly more vulnerable to crime victimization compared to males, with reported feelings of insecurity affecting 90% of the participants. This heightened vulnerability leads to behavioral changes, with 85% of respondents avoiding certain public spaces at night and 75% experiencing induced personality disorders such as anxiety and heightened stress.
Conclusion: The pervasive fear of crime among women restricts their participation in urban life and exacerbates dependency and psychological distress. Addressing these concerns requires targeted interventions to enhance public space security and foster a supportive community environment.

Authors: Abid Sheharyar , Abid Haroon Bin , Zaidi Syed Haris Mustafa , Wahab Ahmed , Ahmed Haris , Zahid Muhammad Arslan
Published: June 2024

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a critical skill within basic life support (BLS), is essential for medical professionals in cases of cardiac or respiratory failure. This study aims to evaluate the BLS knowledge and practical application among healthcare professionals at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, to enhance training outcomes.
Objective: The primary objective was to assess the knowledge and practical skills of BLS among medical and paramedical staff at Ziauddin Hospital and identify gaps in training to improve emergency response effectiveness.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 400 healthcare workers from various departments of Ziauddin Hospital between February and April 2024. Participants were selected to represent a diverse group of doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff. Data was collected using a standardized questionnaire based on European standards and guidelines from the American Heart Association and the Resuscitation Council. The questionnaire included both theoretical and practical aspects of BLS. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with frequencies, percentages, and chi-square tests applied to assess associations between variables. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ziauddin Hospital Ethical Review Committee, ensuring adherence to the Declaration of Helsinki.
Results: The study revealed that 80% of participants knew the abbreviation for BLS. However, only 26.8% correctly identified the immediate action for an unconscious victim. The correct site for chest compressions in adults and infants was known by 88% and 84.5% of participants, respectively. Awareness of AEDs and EMS was high, at 95% and 93%. Practical skills were notably weaker, with significant variability in emergency responses: 26.8% would give two breaths immediately to an unconscious victim, and 76% incorrectly chose to compress the abdomen for a victim submerged in water. The mean age of participants was 27±4.9 years, with a gender distribution of 51.5% female and 48.5% male.
Conclusion: While healthcare professionals at Ziauddin Hospital possess strong theoretical knowledge of BLS, there are significant gaps in practical application, especially in emergency scenarios. To improve patient outcomes in emergencies, more practical, scenario-based training is necessary. This study underscores the need for ongoing, hands-on training sessions to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice.

Published: June 2024

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder affecting synovial joints, particularly the knee. It leads to degeneration of cartilage, causing pain and reduced physical function. Effective treatment strategies are essential for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Objective: To determine the effect of dynamic balance training on physical function and proprioception in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: This quasi-experimental trial was conducted at Riphah International University Lahore, Aziz Medical Clinic, and Ali Hospital, Mughal Pura Lahore. A total of 48 patients with anterior knee pain were recruited and divided into two groups: one receiving dynamic balance training and the other receiving conventional physical therapy (control). Non-probability convenience sampling was used. Outcomes were measured using NPRS, a goniometer, the Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CB&M), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). Knee proprioception was assessed by joint position sense using a universal goniometer, with the average of three angles taken for the final reading. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.
Results: Significant differences were observed in joint proprioception between weight-bearing (WB) and non-weight-bearing (NWB) procedures. The mean difference for WB was -3.07 compared to -2.18 for NWB, with a higher relative error in WB (p < 0.05). Dynamic balance training resulted in greater reductions in NPRS scores and improvements in WOMAC scores compared to conventional physical therapy (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Dynamic balance training was more effective than conventional physical therapy in improving physical function and proprioception in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Published: June 2024

Background: Frailty is a common syndrome among older adults, characterized by a decline in physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. This study investigates the prevalence of frailty and its correlation with neurological status in a sedentary elderly population residing in old age homes.
Objective: The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of frailty and assess the relationship between frailty and cognitive impairment among sedentary elderly individuals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted across various old age homes in Lahore. Data collection began six months post-approval from the ethical committee, adhering to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Using a non-probability convenience sampling technique, 111 participants aged 60 years and above were recruited. Exclusion criteria included traumatic injury, severe psychiatric illness, and complete disability. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL scale, which includes components like fatigue, resistance, aerobic capacity, illness, and weight loss. Cognitive impairment was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, with descriptive and inferential statistics employed to explore the relationships between variables.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.063 years (SD = 7.942). Frailty assessment revealed that 88.3% (n=98) were frail, 8.1% (n=9) were pre-frail, and 3.6% (n=4) were not frail. Cognitive assessment showed that 31.5% (n=35) of participants had normal cognitive function, 66.6% (n=74) had mild cognitive impairment, and 1.8% (n=2) had moderate cognitive impairment. No participants were classified with severe cognitive impairment. A weak negative correlation was found between MMSE scores and FRAIL scale scores (r = -0.090, p = 0.346), indicating no significant association between cognitive impairment and frailty in this population.
Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of frailty and mild cognitive impairment among the sedentary elderly population in old age homes. Despite the weak correlation between cognitive impairment and frailty, the findings underscore the need for comprehensive geriatric care strategies that address both physical and mental health to improve the quality of life and functional independence of elderly individuals.

Background: Piriformis syndrome is characterized by discomfort in the buttocks and throughout the course of the sciatic nerve. Dry needling modulates pain perception, disrupts pain signaling pathways, and induces local tissue responses. Cupping therapy facilitates localized blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and tissue oxygenation to alleviate muscular tension and improve circulation. Both interventions have shown promise in improving symptoms of piriformis syndrome.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dry needling versus cupping therapy in managing piriformis pain syndrome.
Methods: This experimental study was conducted at Chaudhary Muhammad Akram Teaching and Research Hospital, Lahore, from October 2023 to May 2024. Eighty participants diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, aged between 18 and 65 years, were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A (dry needling) and Group B (cupping therapy). Exclusion criteria included pregnancy and previous surgical interventions for piriformis syndrome. Both groups received their respective treatments three times a week for six weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), disability was assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and quality of life was evaluated using a standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with paired sample t-tests used for within-group comparisons and independent sample t-tests for between-group comparisons. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results: In the dry needling group, the mean VAS score decreased from 6.216 ± 1.931 to 3.432 ± 0.987 (p < 0.001), while the cupping therapy group saw a reduction from 6.108 ± 2.195 to 4.189 ± 1.697 (p < 0.001). The mean ODI score in the dry needling group decreased from 27.432 ± 7.617 to 10.054 ± 3.036 (p < 0.001), and in the cupping therapy group from 26.270 ± 7.209 to 12.918 ± 7.495 (p < 0.001). Quality of life scores improved significantly in both groups, with the dry needling group showing a mean reduction from 12.702 ± 3.673 to 7.270 ± 1.627 (p < 0.001), and the cupping therapy group from 13.027 ± 3.523 to 8.270 ± 1.609 (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Both dry needling and cupping therapy are effective interventions for managing piriformis pain syndrome, with dry needling showing greater improvements in pain reduction, disability reduction, and quality of life. These findings support the use of dry needling as a preferred therapeutic option for piriformis syndrome.

Published: June 2024

Bir şehrin iklimi hem küresel ısınmadan hem de bulunduğu özel konumunun getirdiği şartlardan etkilenir. Şehirlerde Isı adası oluşumu, özelikle yüksek nüfus artışı ve yoğunluğu sonucu meydana gelen yapay alanların hızlı bir şekilde artışının sonucudur. Şehirlerdeki yapı yoğunluğunun dikey ve yatay genişlemesi şehirleri ısı adası oluşumuna karşı savunmasız hale getirmektedir. Şanlıurfa’da şehirleşmeye bağlı olarak doğal araziler üzerinde meydana gelen değişiklikler ve antropojenik aktiviteler yapay alanlar ile çevresindeki doğal alanlar arasında sıcaklık farklarının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Çalışmada, Landsat ve Aster uydu görüntülerinden elde edilmiş olan yüzey sıcaklık modellerinden alınan hava sıcaklığı verilerine ve gözlemlenen hava sıcaklığı verilerine dayanarak, Şanlıurfa şehrindeki şehir ısı adası yoğunluğunun mekansal ve zamansal oluşumlarını ve şehirleşmenin şehir ısı adası oluşum eğilimi üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Şehirdeki doğal arazi kullanımı, uydular tarafından yakalanan arazi yüzeyi sıcaklığı aracılığıyla haritalanmıştır. Uydu görüntüleri analiz edildiğinde Şanlıurfa şehrinin mahalleleri arasındaki sıcaklıkta önemli farklılıklar olduğu görülmüştür. Şehirde gece şehirsel alan sıcaklık olarak çevresinden belirgin olarak ayrılmış ve tipik bir yüzey ısı adası (pozitif) özelliği göstermiştir. Gündüz alınan görüntüye göre ise şehir alanı, ekili sulu tarım arazileri ve Kuzey Kuzeydoğuda yer alan yapay ormanları hariç diğer arazi örtüsü/kullanımı alanlarından daha serin çıkmıştır. Bunun sonucu olarak ise gündüz şehirsel alanda negatif yüzey ısı adası özellikleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Landsat (gündüz) uydu görüntüleri alınarak tüm aylara uygulanmış yüzey sıcaklık modellerine göre çalışma alanında yüzey ısı adası özellikleri mevsimlere göre incelenmiştir. Şanlıurfa şehrinde yıl boyunca Temmuz, Ağustos ve Eylül aylarında belirginliğinin azalmasıyla birlikte negatif bir yüzey ısı adası hakimdir. Negatif yüzey ısı adası en belirgin kış aylarında ve güz aylarında gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Şanlıurfa şehrinde bariz bir ŞIA etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Şehrin yüksek ısı adası bölgelerinde ŞIA etkisini azaltacak önlemler alınmalıdır. Şanlıurfa şehrinin daha geniş cadde ve sokaklara, Şehrin merkezi yerlerinde yeşil alanlara su yüzey alanlarına ihtiyacı vardır.

Authors: Zambrano Villa Melissa Nohelia , Vaca-Cárdenas Mónica Elva
Published: June 2024

La discapacidad intelectual comprende la adquisición lenta, tardía e incompleta de las habilidades cognitivas en el desarrollo humano.  Una de las posibles problemáticas en el aprendizaje del inglés de niños con discapacidad intelectual, es el desconocimiento de docentes de estrategias para enseñar a este grupo de estudiantes, lo cual se convierte en un reto. La condición de estos estudiantes precisa del uso de estrategias didácticas especiales para el desarrollo de los aprendizajes. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación es identificar estrategias efectivas para enseñar inglés a niños con discapacidad intelectual, a través de una minuciosa revisión bibliográfica de documentos especializados en el tema. Para ello, se realizó una revisión literaria sistemática en la que se utilizó el método bibliográfico para la selección de literatura relacionada a la enseñanza del idioma inglés a personas con discapacidad intelectual y el método analítico – sintético.  Entre los principales resultados se encontró que la discapacidad intelectual se desarrolla antes de que un bebé nazca, otros durante el parto y otros provocados a partir de patologías graves en la infancia. Entre las estrategias encontradas para enseñar inglés a niños con discapacidad intelectual se menciona:  entorno inclusivo, diagnóstico y seguimiento, coordinación de los docentes con tutores, comunicación entre docentes del área de inglés, desarrollo de las habilidades lingüísticas, aplicación de actividades interactivas, uso de tecnología, pictogramas, participación activa e inclusiva. Para que estas estrategias sean vinculadas exitosamente es importante realizar un documento formal denominado adaptación curricular individualizada para hacer un seguimiento continuo de estas adaptaciones curriculares y lograr el desarrollo de destrezas en los estudiantes.

Published: June 2024

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from natural sources offer promising solutions for combating microbial and viral infections. Catharanthus roseus (Periwinkle), renowned for its diverse pharmacological properties, provides a sustainable and eco-friendly method for producing AgNPs with significant antimicrobial and antiviral effects. This study explores the cytotoxic potential of AgNPs derived from C. roseus and their antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-HIV activities, highlighting the novelty of employing a green synthesis approach. AgNPs from C. roseus leaf extract (AgNP-CR) were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to determine their physicochemical properties. The antibacterial activity of AgNP-CR was assessed against clinically relevant bacterial strains, and antifungal activity was evaluated against common fungal pathogens. Additionally, anti-HIV activity was investigated through in vitro assays using HIV-infected cells. Results demonstrated significant antibacterial activity of AgNP-CR against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, AgNP-CR exhibited antifungal activity against pathogenic Aspergillus species. Importantly, AgNP-CR showed promising anti-HIV activity by inhibiting viral replication and cytopathic effects in infected cells. Cytotoxicity assays were also conducted to ensure the safety profile of the nanoparticles. Overall, this pilot study underscores the therapeutic potential of AgNPs synthesized from C. roseus in addressing bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Further research is warranted to elucidate their mechanisms of action and optimize formulations for clinical applications.
Embracing Reuse in Scientific Communication

referencing content have remained surprisingly static. Today, we’re on the brink of
transforming how we interact with scientific literature and educational content. The
Curvenote team has been working in the MyST Markdown ecosystem to simplify the ways to
reference and embed figures directly into publications. We are starting this process by
integrating a simple

Published: June 2024

Success in the world of education can be measured from various aspects. Starting from the quality of students, the quality of educators, the atmosphere of the school environment, to the school administration system. However, the main factor that most influences the dynamics of education in schools is the leader who is responsible for the running of the educational process, in this case the school principal. The professionalism of a teacher in teaching does not only depend on the principal, but the role of the principal in guiding teacher professionalism cannot be underestimated. The principal as the leader must be responsible for the professionalism of teachers so that teaching and learning activities in the school can run smoothly

Integrating Structural Causal Model Ontologies with LIME for Fair Machine Learning Explanations in Educational Admissions
Authors: Igoche Bern Igoche , Matthew Olumuyiwa , Bednar Peter , Gegov Alexander
Published: June 2024

This study employed knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) to extract and discover knowledge from the Benue State Polytechnic (Benpoly) admission database and used a structural causal model (SCM) ontological framework to represent the admission process in the Nigerian polytechnic education system. The SCM ontology identified important causal relations in features needed to model the admission process and was validated using the conditional independence test (CIT) criteria. The SCM ontology was further employed to identify and constrain input features causing bias in the local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) framework applied to machine learning (ML) black-box predictions. The ablation process produced more stable LIME explanations devoid of fairness bias compared to LIME without ablation, with higher prediction accuracy (91% vs. 89%) and F1 scores (95% vs. 94%). The study also compared the performance of different ML models, including Gaussian Naïve Bayes, Decision Trees, and Logistic Regression, before and after ablation. The limitation is that the SCM ontology is qualitative and context-specific, so the fair-LIME framework can only be extrapolated to similar contexts. Future work could compare other explanation frameworks like Shapley on the same dataset. Overall, this study demonstrates a novel approach to enforcing fairness in ML explanations by integrating qualitative SCM ontologies with quantitative ML/LIME methods.

Incidence of infections in adult patients with central venous catheter: A systematic review
Authors: Silveira Borges Régis , Estrin Marcelo
Published: June 2024

Background: Central venous catheter (CVC)-associated infections are infections that develop due to the insertion of a catheter into a central or peripheral vein. These infections represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The implementation of prevention packages, including measures such as hand hygiene and the application of sterile barriers, has been shown to reduce the incidence of these infections. Other risk factors include the length of the catheter, the patient's comorbidities, and compliance with prevention measures. Material and methods: The study design was that of a systematic review of the literature. Selected articles from the specific search that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed, except for articles that met some exclusion criteria. Results: Average percentage of infection every 100 days = 0.64%. Median percentage of infection every 100 days= 0.42%. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is important to implement effective prevention measures in the insertion and management of central venous catheters. These measures include hand hygiene, proper preparation of the insertion site, education and training of medical personnel, and the use of protective barriers. By consistently applying these measures, the incidence of CVC-associated infections can be significantly reduced and patient safety and care improved

ntegrative learning involves the integration of past knowledge and experiences in order to enhance the learning process. This approach allows learners to leverage their existing skills and apply them in new and more challenging situations, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and retention of new information. Through integrative learning, individuals can connect the dots between different subjects and concepts, creating a more holistic and comprehensive learning experience. An integrated approach to teaching language skills involves incorporating the development of all language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) simultaneously, rather than isolating them for separate instruction. This approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of language skills and aims to develop learners’ overall language proficiency.

La sociedad moderna se ve afrontada por diversos cambios. Cambios tan distintos y singulares como la disrupción de las nuevas tecnologías en la sociedad en general, en la Administración de Justicia y en el Gobierno, transformaciones como la implementación de estrategias y normas de cooperación internacional en materia penal y también cambios relacionados con la implementación de los ODS y la construcción de un futuro de paz, entre muchos otros que se podrían mencionar. En este escenario, la seguridad —especialmente visto el actual escenario de guerra actual— juega un papel fundamental. Por ello, en la presente obra, diferentes investigadores examinan desde sus perspectivas la seguridad y los instrumentos para garantizarla.
