Published: October 2023

Theoretical and experimental study of the reactivity between alkyl nitroindazole molecules and aryl acetonitrile molecules was evaluated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) using a basis set of B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level and experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data. Global quantum chemical parameters derived from DFT showed that these compounds are reactive while NMR data indicated the influence of nitro group on ortho, meta and para positions. The distinction atoms capable of undergoing nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks at the level of each molecule were spread by Fukui functions and dual descriptor. This distinction has helped to explain the mechanism of some nitro derivatives formation. Experimental and theoretical results are convergent and consistent.

Published: October 2023

The current study aims at finding evidence of the impacts of economic shocks on the labor markets in Indonesia. Based on the findings, the study would like to revisit the feasibility of the current labor markets policy in the country that is currently moving towards labor market flexibility. To study the topic, this study used a dataset from the 2021 Inter-Regional Input-Output Table for East Java Province, Indonesia. In the analysis, econometric techniques were employed to: (i) identify vulnerable economic sectors to the economic shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) determine the economic losses resulting from the reduction of outputs, and (iii) determine the impacts on the labor markets that resulted from the reduction in the final demand of the economic sectors. The findings of this study reveal that the sectors that had been most affected by the economic shocks are those that make a significant contribution to the gross domestic product and are heavily dependent on labor. Upon simulating the impacts of economic shocks on the labor markets, the labor-intensive service sectors are the most impacted and succeeded by labor-intensive manufacturing sectors and capital-intensive sectors. Hence, in opposition to the current labor markets policy, the findings suggest policymakers to adopt appropriate labor market policies that promote decent work while sustaining economic growth.

The Changing Landscape of Urologic Practice, An Issue of Urologic IR: 2022
Authors: Salam Md Abdus
Published: October 2023

Interventional Uroradiology or Urological IR covers various minimally invasive procedures to treat problems that affect the kidney, bladder and ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder), and testes.
Almost all patients in the UK with obstructed and/or infected kidneys are referred to interventional radiology for percutaneous nephrostomy and/or placement of an anterograde JJ stent. Although this ‘tradition’ is going strong in the UK, urologists worldwide have evolved their practice to encompass such interventional procedures in their remit.1
Advances in imaging technology, especially in the last two decades, have led to a paradigm shift in the field of image-guided interventions in urology. While the traditional biopsy and drainage techniques are firmly established, image-based stone management and endovascular management of hematuria have evolved further. Ablative techniques for renal and prostate cancer and prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hypertrophy have evolved into viable alternative treatments. Many urologic diseases that were earlier treated surgically are now effectively managed using minimally invasive image-guided techniques, often on a daycare basis using only local anaesthesia or conscious sedation. This article presents an overview of the technique and status of various image-guided urological procedures, including recent emerging techniques.

Authors: Hossain Tohid Md Saiful , Islam Sk Nazibul
Published: October 2023

The chance of the development of hydronephrosis and the formation of stones is more in the ectopic kidney. Treatment of stones in ectopic kidneys is challenging for urologists due to abnormal location and rotation of the kidney and unfavourable local anatomy. We herein report a case of stone in a lumber kidney successfully managed by mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a prone position. A 55-year-old male presented with right lower abdominal pain. His CT scan of the KUB reveals the right kidney is in an ectopic location and has a hyperdense structure measuring about 15 mm in length, seen in the right renal pelvis with mild dilatation of the pelvicalyceal system. The patient underwent right-sided prone mini PCNL under the subarachnoid block (SAB), and complete stone clearance was achieved. There was no adverse event during or after surgery or post-operative blood transfusion.

Published: October 2023

Proper understanding of ecological dynamics of faunal components, whether it is a large mammal or a tiny insect of any ecosystem including forests, plays an important role in the eco-management of any eco-zone. Dipteran insects constituting a major faunal group among the entomo-diversity of any forest ecosystem portray significant functional roles in determining the stability in the ecosystem functioning of the respective ecosystem. The present paper has attempted to document the diversity of dipteran insects inhabiting a tropical deciduous forest of the extended part of Deccan Biogeographic Zone in the eastern part of India, the Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary alongside indicating its habitat preference and distribution patterns. A total of 34 species under 19 families of the order Diptera were recorded from different habitats of the studied forest areas, of which three species are considered new reports from the state of Odisha, India. Out of the three selected eco-zones, the deep forest area having a higher density of sal trees (Shorea robusta) revealed less species richness but high relative abundance, whereas the barren grazing land demonstrated higher species richness with low relative abundance. The eco-zone with wetlands and associated vegetation have shown moderate species richness and diversity of dipteran insects. Three contrasting seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon) of this region have also demonstrated different patterns of diversity and density of this group of insects which have been segregatedinto several feeding guilds in tune with the seasonal availability of food resources.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are the two most frequently diagnosed developmental conditions. Given their high prevalence, frequent chronic morbidity, and related functional disability, ASD and ADHD are important public health concerns. This is the background to the considerable effort expended to search for neurobiological correlates that might be useful as biological targets for new treatments and intervention strategies. Similar to most psychiatric conditions, ASD and ADHD are characterized by substantial clinical and etiological heterogeneity, which may hamper the identification of potential neurobiological markers. Studies on brain changes using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have enormously enhanced our knowledge of typical brain development and related changes in neurodevelopmental disorders.

In this thesis, we used structural and functional MRI to study neurobiological correlates of both ASD and ADHD, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Our findings support the hypothesis that clinical heterogeneity in ASD and ADHD is accompanied by similar variation in the associated neurobiological substrates: these range from anomalies large enough to be qualitatively noticeable in anatomical MRI scans, to more subtle changes at the group level that are invisible to the human eye, but can be characterized using quantitative assessments of brain morphometry. Our findings suggest specific neurobiological mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of ASD and ADHD.
Cystic Fibrosis: a real-world challenge to predict individual outcomes
Authors:   , Muilwijk Danya
Published: October 2023

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a rare monogenic multisystem disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. More than 2000 different CFTR variants have been identified that differentially affect CFTR protein function. As a result, CF disease manifestations and response to recently developed CFTR-modulating treatments is highly variable among individuals. Without an effective treatment, people with CF can die at a young age.

To develop and select the best personalized therapy for all people with CF, we need more sensitive tests and outcome measures to predict long-term disease progression and response to CFTR-modulating drugs in real-life practice.

This thesis showed that the forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) assay of intestinal organoids is associated with long-term CF disease progression in multiple organs, including long-term lung function decline and the odds of developing CF-related comorbidities such as pancreatic insufficiency, diabetes and liver disease. The sweat chloride test, which is the reference standard biomarker of CF diagnosis, was not associated with long-term CF disease progression. These findings demonstrate the potential value of the FIS assay as a prognostic biomarker of long-term CF disease progression, which is particularly useful to inform individuals with rare CFTR variants with unclear clinical consequences about their long-term prognosis.

On the other hand, this thesis could not identify predictors that were associated with long-term response to CFTR-modulating drugs in people with CF homozygous for the most prevalent F508del mutation. This indicates that prediction of long-term treatment response remains challenging with the currently available tests and outcome measures in this context, emphasizing the need for alternative outcomes and analysis strategies.

In the last part of this thesis, the Q-Life app was developed as a novel personalized electronic patient-reported outcome measure (ePROM) to measure quality of life of people with CF on an individual level. Two observational studies described in this thesis showed that the Q-Life app is a reliable, valid and sensitive ePROM to measure quality of life in a personalized way. The Q-Life app could be a potential new sensitive and relevant outcome measure that can help to optimize personalized treatment of people with CF.

As suggested in this thesis, future research in extensive datasets studying various long-term outcomes in real-life settings should reveal at what precision individual disease states and therapeutic responses can be resolved and predicted through a combination of CFTR and non-CFTR dependent individual assessments.

Authors: Farkas Katalin
Published: October 2023

Idős egyénekben világszerte a cardiovascularis betegség a morbiditás és mortalitás legfontosabb oka. Az alsó végtagi verőérbetegség a végtagi verőerek atherosclerosisa következtében kialakuló diffúz, degeneratív folyamat, mely a verőerek lumenének szűkületéhez, illetve elzáródásához vezet. A betegség egyik legfontosabb kockázati tényezője a kor, ennek megfelelően előfordulása a korral jelentős mértékben nő, 70 éves kor felett meghaladja a 20%-ot. Az alsó végtagi verőérszűkület előfordulása világszerte nő, ennek egyik oka a népesség átlagéletkorának növekedése. A betegség felismerése és kezelése is időskori sajátosságokat mutat, ezek ismerete fontos a növekvő számú idős alsó végtagi verőérbeteg ellátásában. Az idős betegcsoportban is jelentős szerepe van a korai felismerésnek és az ennek megfelelően elkezdett prevenciós kezelésnek. Az intervenciós lehetőségek szélesebb körűvé válása az idős, műtét szem pontjából nagy rizikójú betegek számára is lehetőséget biztosíthat az amputáció elkerülésére, a jobb életminőségre.

Patients with atrial fibrillation who take a high bleeding risk and are not candidates for oral anticoagulation therapy are increasingly being referred for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) as an alternative method of stroke prevention. However, certain manipulations performed during the LAAC procedure, such as transseptal puncture (TSP), may potentially result in vessel injury and lead to cardiac tamponade or even fatality. Clinical significance and management strategies associated with these complications remain controversial. A 74-year-old female patient with atrial fibrillation was referred for left atrial appendage occlusion. During the puncture of the atrial septum, the catheter sheath inadvertently exited through the roof of the right atrium and continued to advance, resulting in pulmonary artery perforation. The patient underwent immediate pericardiocentesis and drainage, followed by surgical exploration for suturing the tear in the pulmonary artery and ligation of the left atrial appendage. This represents the first reported case of a pulmonary artery perforation occurring during a transseptal puncture procedure for left atrial appendage closure. The case exemplifies the feasibility of emergency cardiac surgery as a therapeutic intervention.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a frequently encountered clinical condition, which necessitates prompt and effective remediation to avoid rupture. Surgeons must meticulously select an appropriate method of repair and assess the long-term surgical prognosis when dealing with patients with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. In this case report, a 74-year-old man was hospitalized due to acute abdominal pain. Upon further examination, it was discovered that he was suffering from a complex abdominal aortic aneurysm. The thoracoabdominal aorta CTA showed that the aneurysm involved both renal arteries, the part below the kidney was severely twisted, the neck of the aneurysm was short, and it was accompanied by bilateral common iliac and internal iliac aneurysms, and there were considerable thrombus attached to the vessel wall. In this case, our team used 3D technology to simulate the spatial structure of the aneurysm and comprehensively evaluate the patient's condition. Ultimately, we decided to perform a quadruple fenestration aortic stent implantation and endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm, combined with right IBE and internal iliac artery stent implantation, right internal iliac artery reconstruction, and left internal iliac artery aneurysm embolization on this patient. This is an innovative surgical method. The operation was successful and the patient recovered well after the operation.
A case for preference-sensitive decision timelines to aid shared decision-making in intensive care: need and possible application

In the intensive care unit, it can be challenging to determine which interventions align with the patients' preferences since patients are often incapacitated and other sources, such as advance directives and surrogate input, are integral. Managing treatment decisions in this context requires a process of shared decision-making and a keen awareness of the preference-sensitive instances over the course of treatment. The present paper examines the need for the development of preference-sensitive decision timelines, and, taking aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage as a use case, proposes a model of one such timeline to illustrate their potential form and value. First, the paper draws on an overview of relevant literature to demonstrate the need for better guidance to (a) aid clinicians in determining when to elicit patient preference, (b) support the drafting of advance directives, and (c) prepare surrogates for their role representing the will of an incapacitated patient in clinical decision-making. This first section emphasizes that highlighting when patient (or surrogate) input is necessary can contribute valuably to shared decision-making, especially in the context of intensive care, and can support advance care planning. As an illustration, the paper offers a model preference-sensitive decision timeline—whose generation was informed by existing guidelines and a series of interviews with patients, surrogates, and neuro-intensive care clinicians—for a use case of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the last section, the paper offers reflections on how such timelines could be integrated into digital tools to aid shared decision-making.
Online practicum preparation for enhancing preservice teachers' reflection depths: a quasi-experimental approach
Authors: Wang Ye , Ko James , Lam Elaine
Published: October 2023

Building preservice teachers' capacities with in-depth reflections on their acquired knowledge and practicum practice has become indispensable in teacher education programs' current field experience requirements. Lengthy training programs with blended learning have successfully promoted reflection in preservice teachers. However, it is unclear whether preservice teachers could benefit from a short self-access online training program (SSOTP) in promoting their reflection depths, especially when facing challenging situations such as COVID-19. Using a teaching and assessing reflective learning model, we examined reflection depth among Chinese preservice teachers in a quasi-experimental research approach. This study showed the effectiveness of an SSOTP in stimulating preservice teachers' reflection depth. The training sequence and different topics also significantly affected preservice teachers in generating reflections. The results suggested that establishing an SSOTP with systematic stimulations could enhance preservice teachers' reflection depths and help them achieve quality teaching during the teacher preparation stage. While preservice teachers generated many reflective statements, their reflection depths were relatively shallow. This study provides evidence to enhance different levels of reflection depth in future SSOTPs.
How much do teachers know about self-regulated learning? To what degree and in what way do they encourage it in students?

Introduction

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a multidimensional process that involves personal (cognitive and emotional), behavioral, and contextual components. Teachers, as mediators in socialization, can influence SRL in various direct and indirect ways: by instructing students on effective learning strategies and structuring the learning environment. Most teachers agree that students should be helped to become self-regulated in their learning, however, they are unsure of how to do this, which is why they encourage it to a limited degree. Therefore, the objectives of the research were: (1) to examine how much teachers know about SRL, to what degree and how they encourage it in students; (2) to examine the differences in encouraging SRL with regard to gender, seniority, type of school and status of school subjects they teach.

Method

The research was conducted using an online questionnaire at two measurement points. A total of 251/179 primary and secondary school teachers in Croatia participated in the study. To assess teaching knowledge and methods of encouraging SRL, the questionnaire employed both open-ended questions (“Provide your own subjective definition of self-regulated learning.”; “How you promote self-regulated learning in your practice? Which approaches are most effective?”) and the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) Encouragement Scale (encouragement of learning planning and learning organization strategies, metacognitive monitoring of learning, elaboration and evaluation, understanding and effort investment).

Results

Teachers only partially know what self-regulated learning constitutes. About two-thirds of teachers have heard of the SRL, but only 14% accurately defines the construct. When defining SRL, they most often emphasize independently regulated/directed learning, and the definitions are mostly partially correct. On the other hand, teachers estimate that they encourage SRL to a significant extent. There are certain discrepancies in the data regarding the methods of encouraging SRL depending on the methodology (qualitative/quantitative). Teachers encourage SRL to a limited extent and provide implicit and indirect SRL encouragement. The results indicate that female teachers and teachers in humanities encourage SRL to a greater extent when compared to natural science and technical subject teachers, and the same goes for elective subject teachers when compared to compulsory subject teachers.

Discussion

The results have theoretical, but also great practical implications when it comes to the implementation of this multidimensional and complex construct in the educational system. They corroborate the theoretical foundations of SRL and SRL encouragement, whilst indicating the need for improving teachers’ knowledge and competencies in regard to SRL encouragement in students.
