Authors: Cherry Mustamu
Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: In the realm of healthcare services, the satisfaction of medical professionals in their workplace environment has become a central concern closely associated with the perceived satisfaction levels of patients. This research investigated the intricate relationship between employee satisfaction and patient satisfaction within the context of communi-ty health centres. The study aimed to identify specific factors of employee satisfaction, such as compensation, supervision and work environment, that potentially influence the level of patient satisfaction. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional descriptive design, a total of 162 employees and 276 patients from 13 community health centres partici-pated in this study, conducted between June and September 2023. The participants were selected based on specific criteria, including age above 17, fluency in Indonesian and ability to complete the questionnaires. The study utilised two questionnaires: one measuring patient satisfaction with aspects of healthcare service and the other gauging employee satisfaction concerning management practices in community health centres. Both questionnaires employed Likert scale measurements to gather responses. Results: The findings indicated a significant influence of investigated fac-tors on patient satisfaction. Notably, compensation of employees emerged as a crucial factor significantly affecting patients satisfaction, aligning with previous research emphasising its importance in healthcare settings. Conversely, other factors such as supervision, work relationships, nature of work, opportunities for status change and work interactions with col-leagues of employees did not exhibit a significant impact on patient sat-isfaction. Conclusions: The study findings conformed the importance of compensation of employees a pivotal factor in designing strategies to improve pa-tient satisfaction in community health centres. While other factors like supervision and work interactions did not demonstrate statistically significant correlations, this suggests the potential for more complex relationships that warrant further investigation. Identifying specific factors that influence patient satisfaction in community health centres can significantly contribute to enhancing healthcare service quality and overall patient satisfaction in the future.

Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young people is a problem of growing concern. There is an increasing need to evaluate this disease and predict its sequelae for better prevention and management. Aim of this study was to analyse clinical and pharmacological aspects of ACS hospitalised patients for a better evaluation and prediction. Methods: The study included questionnaire based data taken from 225 patients (207 males, 18 females) admitted to Ibn Al-Nafees tertiary cardiac centre. Socioeconomic , clinical and pharmacological data were obtained from all patients with follow up from time of admission to discharge. Results: Male to female ratio was 11.5:1, anterior infarction was the predominant site (54.6 %), mortality rate was 1.3 %. Ejection fraction (LVEF) was below 45 % in 66.7 % of the patients, majority (70.7 %) with ischaemic hypokinesia. Smoking was the most common risk factor (77.3 %). Heart failure (HF) was the most common complication (57.3 %). There were significant relationship between HF occurrence and number of risk factors , LVEF, anterior site of ACS and number of echo findings. There were non-significant increase in relative risk of HF with each risk factor, positive troponin and pre-admission pain duration. Prediction tests showed an ascending positive slope of HF risk with number of risk factors, duration of admission and age. Conclusion: There was a high rate of HF occurrence in this study which is mostly attributed to major wall damage due to blockage of the main coronary artery. Analysis demonstrated a good survival rate but high rate of HF occurrence urges for more consideration of guideline-directed management .

Prayer, civic engagement and culture: A comparative study of Serbia and Malta
Authors: Pulis Matthew , Ćumura Ljiljana , Buhagiar Luke
Published: July 2024

Contemporary open societies are characterised by pluralism, indicating differences in values and practices. Religiosity and civic engagement are intertwined in various ways, with processes changing across the Balkans and Southern Europe. Accordingly, in this study, we present the results of a survey that explores different relationships between (a) socio-demographic variables, (b) types of prayer engaged in by people, and (c) civic engagement in Serbia (the Balkans) and Malta (Southern Europe). Questionnaires with the same content were distributed in Malta (in English) and in Serbia (in Serbian). Our analysis reveals both similarities and differences relating to the following two main patterns: (1) all types of prayer correlated significantly with civic engagement behaviour in both countries; and (2) the frequency of prayer types, and the correlations between specific prayer types and civic engagement behaviour, ranked differently in both countries. Our discussion focuses on the implications of these patterns for open societies and intercultural dialogue.
Libertad y derecho a la educación en España. El caso del pin parental murciano
Authors: Aranda Serna Francisco J.
Published: July 2024

En este artículo se analizará la figura del pin parental, el cual fue implementado en España en la Región de Murcia en el año 2019. Esta medida permitía a los padres la potestad de autorizar la participación de sus hijos en actividades complementarias educa­cionales que se impartían en los centros educativos, particularmente aquellas relacionadas con la educación sexual. Se examinarán las im­plicaciones jurídicas del pin parental, especialmente desde la pers­pectiva constitucional y cómo afecta este al derecho a la educación. Se considerará como el derecho a la educación se contrapone con el derecho de los padres a educar a sus hijos de acuerdo a sus convic­ciones morales y religiosas. Se pondrá de relieve la problemática que existe entre estos derechos, abordando el examen de algunas figuras relevantes como es la objeción de conciencia, y señalando cuáles son las posiciones doctrinales y jurídicas al respecto. De este análisis se extraerán una serie de conclusiones que expondrán como ajustar el correcto equilibrio entre estos derechos.
Sobre el plazo de duración de la instrucción en las causas atribuidas a la fiscalía europea delegada y la más que dudosa constitucionalidad del artículo 42 de la Ley Orgánica de 1 de julio de 2021

En el presente trabajo pretendemos interpretar el artí­culo 42 de la Ley Orgánica de 1 de julio de 2021 y la exclusión del ar­tículo 324 de la Lecr en los procedimientos de instrucción atribuidos a la Fiscalía Europea delegada, procediendo a un estudio sistemático de la evolución del plazo de instrucción en las causas penales desde una perspectiva constitucional del derecho de defensa y el derecho a un procedimiento sin dilaciones indebidas y con todas las garantías del artículo 24.2 de la CE. Concluyendo que carece de justificación constitucional el distinto tratamiento del plazo de instrucción en la Lecr y en la Ley Orgánica de 1 de julio de 2021, que origina un trata­miento desigual que por ser discriminatorio vulnera el artículo 14 de la CE. Sin que encuentre justificación esa discriminación en la juris­prudencia del TJUE contenida en la sentencia de 5 de junio de 2018.

Authors: Jayakumar Raja Rajeswari , Natrah Saad  , Munusamy Marimuthu
Published: July 2024

The study explores the factors influencing tax compliance behaviour among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Its main objective is to examine the relationship between psychological empowerment and tax transparency on tax compliance behaviour. Malaysia continues to struggle with issues of under-reporting. Due to limited resources, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRB) cannot fully ascertain the underlying causes of non-compliance. This study is novel in that it proposes a different model for measuring tax compliance behaviour, including the variable of psychological empowerment, which has been limited in previous taxation studies. The study employed SPSS and AMOS for data analysis. Responses from 230 SMEs in the manufacturing sector were collected using stratified random sampling. The results indicate that both psychological empowerment and tax transparency have a positive and significant relationship with tax compliance behaviour. These findings will be valuable for tax authorities and administrators by highlighting key areas that can be managed more effectively to reduce the high number of tax compliance issues in the country.

Published: July 2024

Wstęp Szeroka wiedza na temat czynników ryzyka odleżyn, pozwala wdrażać procedury ograniczające ich występowanie do minimum, a szczególnie zapobiegać odleżynom rozwijającym się podczas hospitalizacji.
Cel pracy Analiza czynników ryzyka odleżyn u pacjentów leczonych w oddziale zachowawczym.
Materiał i metoda Do badania zakwalifikowano 90 pacjentów oddziału szpitalnego, którzy przy przyjęciu otrzymali wynik wg skali Norton ≤14 punktów. Badanych podzielono na trzy grupy 30-osobowe: grupa 1 – pacjenci, u których rozwinęły się odleżyny podczas hospitalizacji, grupa 2 – pacjenci, u których nie powstały odleżyny; grupa 3 - pacjenci przyjęci z odleżynami. Przeprowadzono badania retrospektywne analizując dokumentację medyczną. Uzyskane wyniki zweryfikowano statystycznie.
Wyniki Dla wszystkich badanych ocena wg skali Norton wahała się w przedziale od 6 do 14 punktów (dla grupy 1 wyniosła 6 - 10 punktów). Stopień zaawansowania odleżyn był wyższy u chorych przyjętych z odleżynami (od II do IV). W przypadku relacji międzygrupowych odnotowana została zależność (współczynnik korelacji 1) w zakresie chorób współistniejących, wyników badań laboratoryjnych, niedożywienia oraz farmakoterapii. Odleżyny obserwowano częściej u mężczyzn i osób starszych. Czas hospitalizacji chorych, u których odleżyny powstały w szpitalu, był najdłuższy.
Wnioski Największe ryzyko rozwoju odleżyn odnotowano w grupie pacjentów, u których odleżyny wystąpiły w trakcie hospitalizacji i były to odleżyny I, II i III stopnia. U badanych przyjętych z odleżynami zaobserwowano odleżyny od II do IV stopnia.
Z występowaniem odleżyn były powiązane następujące zmienne: obecność chorób współistniejących, niedożywienie, wybrane wyniki badań laboratoryjnych, antybiotykoterapia i sterydoterapia, przetaczanie preparatów krwi, czas hospitalizacji oraz zmienne socjodemograficzne jak, wiek i płeć.

A nutrição de quelônios ainda é pouco estudada. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar os efeitos da alimentação com ração comercial e com vegetais excedente de um quintal agroflorestal no desempenho produtivo de tracajás (P. unifilis). Foram alojados 180 animais (224,85 ± 0,84g) em seis caixas d’água de 1000 litros. Cada caixa d’água contendo 30 animais foi considerada uma unidade experimental. Foram utilizados dois tratamentos: um com ração comercial (32% proteína bruta), e o outro com 50% ração comercial e 50% frutos/raízes in natura, fornecidos duas vezes ao dia, utilizando-se a taxa de arraçoamento de 2% do peso vivo, por um período de 75 dias. O desenho experimental foi em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições. As variáveis físico-químico da água foram avaliadas semanalmente. No final do experimento, foram mensurados a carapaça, plastrão e peso dos animais para acompanhamento do desempenho zootécnico. Foram coletados sangue de três animais de cada unidade experimental para análises hematológicas e glicose. Foram abatidos 3 animais para avaliação de rendimento de carcaça e análise sensorial. Por fim, foi avaliado a viabilidade econômica e custos com alimentação animal. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste t de Student. Quanto ao crescimento, tracajás que foram alimentados apenas com ração comercial obtiveram maior (p<0,05) peso médio final, ganho de peso, ganho de peso diário e taxa de crescimento. Além disso, a dieta proporcionou melhor (p<0,05) conversão alimentar. Após abate, tracajás que foram alimentados apenas com ração comercial obtiveram maior (p<0,05) rendimento de filé, pescoço e fígado. Não houveram diferenças nos parâmetros sanguíneos e na análise sensorial (p>0,05). A alimentação com dieta alternativa com vegetais proporcionou aumento (p<0,05) do custo da alimentação devido à alta conversão alimentar, com isso, a receita líquida e renda mensal foram negativas e podem causar prejuízos ao produtor. Nesse sentido, recomendamos apenas o fornecimento de ração comercial no manejo alimentar durante o crescimento de P. unifilis.

Published: July 2024

Most studies have failed to focus on geriatric diseases in the present era of quick advancement in medical science. Diseases like Parkinson’s display their symptoms at a later stage and make a complete recovery almost doubtful. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and motor control systems. It is named after Dr. James Parkinson, the first person affected by this disease. Parkinson’s slowly worsens over time, leading to a variety of syndromes that can impact a person’s daily life activities. More than 95% of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients stated that they have exhibited voice impairment and micrographic disability. This model takes advantage of both advanced machine learning algorithms and modern image processing techniques, resulting in effectiveand efficient predictionPD. To further enhance the accuracy of the model, we have incorporated additional algorithms such as Random Forest and K-nearest Neighbour. Random forest classifier has a detection accuracy of 92%and sensitivity of 0.95%. The performance has been assessed with a reliable dataset from the University of California Irvine Machine Learning repository for voice parameters and a dataset from Kaggle for Handwriting images which includes wavy images and spiral images. Our proposed model has achieved the highest accuracy of 95% which outperformed the previous model or experiment on the same dataset.

Importancia de enfermería en la organización mental de la madre en el nacimiento y asistencia del recién nacido prematuro
Authors: Pose Gabriela
Published: July 2024

Enfermería tiene en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (UCIN) una presencia y una importancia sustancial por la relevancia que porta para los padres su función, su palabra y su saber. Se despliegan en esa interacción emociones diversas vinculadas a las características del profesional, las modalidades de comunicación, así como a las singularidades parentales, tanto en sus aspectos históricos, sus características de personalidad y las formas de afrontamiento a la adversidad. Es necesario comprender los efectos de esta experiencia perinatal sobre ellos, los estados mentales que ocasiona, así como contribuir a la protección de la salud mental, la organización psicológica de la función parental y la constitución vincular en situaciones críticas. En este artículo me dedicaré esencialmente a la organización mental de la madre como tal: la representación o foto interna que la madre va construyendo sobre sí misma y sobre el recién nacido pretérmino tan distinto al esperado, la constitución vincular y la manera en que enfermería puede participar en ese proceso y sus dificultades. Palabras clave: enfermería; periodo posparto; unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal; recién nacido prematuro; salud mental.
An Investigation of the correlation between motivation and students’ Academic achievement in science courses: The Case of Degree Students at Kotebe University of Education
Authors: Zewdie Daniel ,   Department of education St. Mary’s University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Published: July 2024

The study aimed to examine the correlation between students’ motivation and their academic achievement explained in terms of Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA) and investigated the motivational factors' effect on the student’s overall academic achievement in the Applied Science courses.  393 students were selected using both stratified and random sampling techniques from the regular students attending 2nd and 3rd-year degree programs at Kotebe University of Education. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of the sample students on a 5-point Likert scale. The results reveal that the supportive behavior of students significantly accounted for 1% of the variance in CGPA. Besides, students' supportive and personal behaviors significantly explained about 2.2% variance in the criterion measure (CGPA). However, assessing the relative importance of each factor, "challenging oneself" and "the need for personal growth and development" significantly contributed to 1.1% and 1.6 % of the variance in CGPA respectively. Such a low proportion of variance in CGPA might be associated with the range of restriction in scores of both independent and dependent variables. Thus, among the intrinsic motivation these two components appeared to be the direct factors that influence students’ CGPA in science courses. It could be inferred that students’ strong internal motivation seems to advance their successful science learning and achievement. Thus, to help students be motivated to learn science tangibly,  teachers’ commitment to using interactive methods, providing reasonably challenging tasks, and giving timely feedback, through organizing the science teaching and learning environment is decisive.

In 2013, an ethnographic study of the Lun Bawang and Kelabit potteries in Sarawak was undertaken by the authors and staff of the Centre for Global Archaeological Research (CGAR), Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang and the Sarawak Museum Department, Kuching in the district of Lawas and the Kelabit Highlands, Sarawak (Fig. 1). The primary objective of the study is to locate the few remaining Lun Bawang and Kelabit potters in these regions in order to gather data and information on traditional pottery technology, types and functions. It is also hoped that the findings of the study can provide some useful insights into the connections between the past and present pottery-making traditions in Sarawak. The Lun Bawang and Kelabit potteries have been studied since the mid-1950s by a number of researchers such as Harrisson (1955), Morrison (1955) and Janowski (1991). Harrisson’s (1955: 301) work, however, was focussed mainly on the distribution and general characteristics of native pottery in Sarawak and Sabah. He made brief mentions of the possible links between the traditional and prehistoric pottery of Borneo. Morrison (1955) reported briefly on the Lun Bawang pottery-making in Ba’ Kelalan, Lawas. Between 1986 and 1988, Janowski (1991) studied and reported in detail about the Kelabit pottery-making at the village of Pa’ Dalih in the Kelabit Highlands. Although these previous studies have provided useful records of traditional pottery-making of the Lun Bawang and Kelabit, they are too brief and not comprehensive enough for understanding the traditional pottery-making of Sarawak. This study is therefore an attempt to fill the gaps in knowledge about the traditional pottery-making of the Lun Bawang and Kelabit which is now a dying tradition.

Benat Hilir is an archaeological site situated near a village called Kampung Benat in the middle reaches of the Sadong River, Samarahan, Sarawak (Fig.1). The first field survey at this site was carried out by a research team from the archaeology section of the Sarawak Museum Department in the 1970s. A trial excavation was conducted after the area had been identified as a potential site for archaeological research (Nyandoh 1971). However, the excavation team was unable to excavate the potential area because it was situated in a rice field which was ready for harvest. Subsequently, the team excavated an area near the river bank and found only a few ceramic sherds, mostly stonewares.

Although the enemy ran off in haste, they had time to hide many things of value: but our Dyaks allowed no leaf to pass unturned; and at a place in the river where I had been sitting and bathing for hours to-day, along with hundreds of Malays, I was surprised to see, towards the evening, a few Dyaks come to take their last luck before retiring after their day’s work: when lo! And behold, they traced a small line to a twig, and brought up a large brass gun. Such is their quickness of vision; only Dyaks can kill Dyaks. - Charles Brooke, Ten Years in Sarawak (1866) The above passage from the diaries of the then Tuan Muda (and later second Rajah of Sarawak), describing an evening repose during his 1856 expedition against the Ibans of Julau, illustrates the aura and allure of the desired object of the cannon for the Iban of Sarawak, in addition to being a significant weapon during the conflicts of this period. At the same time, the Tuan Muda’s remarks reveal a certain tendency of these heavy instruments to find themselves sinking underwater in Sarawak’s rivers - while the scene of uncanny detection also somehow allows Brooke to conclude that indeed, “only Dyaks can kill Dyaks,”as the Rajah James Brooke enlisted Iban tribes in war against those Iban tribes not yet agreeable to his government, expanding the domain of Sarawak and the scope of his rule.

Eksistensi Substansial Qanun Lembaga Wali Nanggroe Dalam Sosiokultural Masyarakat Aceh
Authors: Sani Abdullah , Nyak Umar Mukhsin
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengekplorasi eksistensi substansial Lembaga Wali Nanggroe (LWN) yang terdapat di Provinsi Aceh. Keberadaan LWN di Aceh pada awalnya mendapatkan pro-kontra dari banyak pihak karena dinilai overlap fungsi dengan Majelis Adat Aceh (MAA). Dalam UU Nomor 11 Tahun 2006 tentang Pemerintahan Aceh secara ekplisit disebutkan bahwa salah satu grand function LWN adalah pemersatu masyarakat. Awalnya lembaga ini diharapkan memiliki wewenang yang bersifat politis, bukan hanya sebagai instrumen unity in diversity, tetapi dapat menjadi lembaga yang dapat memberhentikan kepala daerah atau gubernur di Aceh. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan basis data norma hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) keberadaan LWN sesuai dengan volkgeist masyarakat Aceh; (2) keberadaan LWN belum memberikan kemaslahatan signifikan bagi masyarakat. Disarankan agar LWN harus memfungsikan kembali lembaga tersebut sesuai harapan rakyat Aceh, tidak perlu khawatir berlebihan dengan political pressure dari Pemerintah Pusat atau pihak-pihak tertentu yang tidak menginginkan LWN eksis di Aceh.
Ageísmo: inter-relação com resiliência e variáveis relacionadas à capacidade funcional em um grupo de idosos

Published: July 2024

Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a presença de Ageísmo, e o estresse por este causado em um grupo de idosos frequentadores de um Núcleo de Convivência localizado na Zona Oeste da cidade de São Paulo. Encontrou-se associação significativa entre presença de sintomas depressivos, menor resiliência e presença de Ageísmo. Notou-se que, para estes idosos, o Ageísmo é reconhecido em várias situações, porém, pode-se observar que apenas geram estresse situações mais extremas, tais como abusos físicos, negativas de tratamento, xingamentos e invasão de domicílio, o que parece demonstrar uma certa naturalização da violência.

Dos resultados, foram identificados o padrão de agressores, as formas de violência financeira e os fatores de risco que expõem a pessoa idosa à aludida agressão. Pode-se concluir que é necessário conscientizá-la sobre seus direitos e as formas de pedido de auxílio sobre o manejo com as suas finanças.
Intellectual Capital Influence on Firm Value: Does Financial Health Performance Have Mediating effect? (Evidence from Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia)
Authors: . Sumiati , Wijayanti Risna , Wati Cicik Retno
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between Intellectual Capital, Financial Health Performance, and Firm Value. This research analyzed 132 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange over five years (2016–2020), with data sourced from corporate annual and financial reports. Regression analysis tested direct relationships, while path analysis with the Sobel test assessed mediation effects. The findings indicate that both intellectual capital and financial health performance significantly affect firm value directly; however, financial health performance does not show a significant mediation effect between intellectual capital and firm value. The results suggest that market participants consider information related to intellectual capital and financial health performance in their valuations, yet financial health performance does not reflect intellectual capital's capability to generate financial health. This study highlights the importance of intellectual capital and financial health performance for market participants.

Authors: Bastholm Mathias
Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the role of plyometric training in enhancing explosive power among sprinters. Methods and Materials: This qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews to gather data from 17 sprinters aged 18 to 30 years, with at least three years of competitive experience. Participants were recruited from local athletic clubs and universities. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the impact of plyometric training. Thematic analysis was used to identify and analyze patterns within the data, providing detailed insights into the participants' experiences and perceptions. Findings: The study revealed significant physical improvements attributed to plyometric training, including enhanced muscle strength, increased speed, improved jumping ability, and reduced injury risk. Psychological benefits such as increased confidence, enhanced motivation, and improved mental resilience were also noted. Participants reported a better training experience with diverse and efficient routines, improved technique understanding, and strong peer support. Performance outcomes showed notable improvements in competition results, skill application, and recovery times. These findings align with existing literature, confirming the comprehensive benefits of plyometric training for sprinters. Conclusion: Plyometric training significantly enhances explosive power and overall performance in sprinters. The physical, psychological, and performance-related benefits make it a crucial component of athletic training programs. Despite limitations such as the small sample size and reliance on self-reported data, the study provides valuable insights into the multifaceted advantages of plyometric exercises.

L-algebras, connected to algebraic logic and quantum structures, were first introduced by Rump [13]. In [5], the number of some finite L-algebras is counted. But classifying and finding examples of L-algebras is not always an easy task and is very important. So, in this paper, we classify the set of all non-isomorphic L-algebras up to order 4. For this, we define the notion of partial and total conditions and by using them, we characterize all of the L-algebras of orders 2, 3 and 4. We prove that that there are 5 L-algebras of order 3 and 44 L-algebras of order 4, up to isomorphism.
