Introduction: Pediatric surgery highlights the responsible-child binomial, experiencing the surgical periods together. In this sense, the surgical wound requires care that allows the evaluation of its progression, the presence of phlogistic signs, and instruments used in order to enable the integrality of the tissue. Thus, companions should be active participants in the promotion of techniques related to surgical incision, since home care is relevant in the quality of surgical evolution and response. Objective: To identify the perception of the companions of the children submitted to surgery regarding the orientations regarding the dressings. Methodology: This is a descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study. In view of the opinion number 2,940,781 of the Research Ethics Committee, 102 semi-structured interviews were conducted addressing the perspectives of the companions regarding the perioperative period, one of the criteria being the perceptions of the companions regarding the orientations on dressings in the pediatric surgery ward of a University Hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The Excel program was used to store the collected information. Results: The data show the prevalence of instructions offered to the caregiver, based on demonstrations and guidance to the companions. Thus, the explanations are aligned with the procedures performed, obtaining a higher incidence of promoting surgical wound cleaning. In palatoplasty, it expresses the care of nutrition, oral health such as the use of soft bristles and the use of saline solution. There is the presence of the exchange of information between companion and professional, corroborated by the previous search in virtual media. Feelings such as fear in the dressing are also highlighted. The orientations culminated mostly in the care practices necessary for the protection of the surgical wound, not addressing the evaluation of phlogistic signs. Among those analyzed, 34.3% of the interviewees reported not having guidance. Conclusion: Nursing orientations strengthen the role of companions in the care of pediatric patients, expanding the bond between the binomial and demonstrating its importance in the evolution of referral. The reduced insertion of the companion interferes with the lack of knowledge and lack of habit to the technique. The study allows the evaluation of the experiences, contributing to the theoretical-practical alignment in the sectors.

Published: April 2024

This paper investigates the commercialization of Intellectual Property (IPRs) at universities and the potential for universities in Kenya to leverage their Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) as a vital revenue source. Even though they possess significant intellectual assets, many universities have failed to utilize IPRs and in turn, losing opportunities for income generation. The paper introduces the concept of IP commercialization and the legal IP framework in Kenya and proceeds to discuss how research conducted in institutions of higher learning can be commercialized through an analysis of best practices and case studies. The discussion outlines the relevance of Intellectual Property to universities, the strategies for universities to maximize the value of their IPRs and establish sustainable income streams. Drawing upon relevant literature and academic research, it provides insights into the commercialization process, legal considerations, and the role of technology transfer offices in facilitating successful IPR monetization. The paper concludes by establishing that by implementing proactive strategies and fostering a culture of innovation, universities in Kenya can unlock the full potential of their intellectual assets and achieve financial sustainability.

Authors: Asnawi Aiyi , Febrina Ellin , Aligita Widhya , Aman La Ode , Razi Fachrul
Published: April 2024

Context: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are promising materials with tailored binding sites that can selectively recognize and bind target molecules. The combined approach of molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides valuable insights into the interactions between 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and the designed MIPs, shedding light on the intricate details of their binding mechanisms. This information is crucial for designing MIPs with high selectivity and affinity for 3HB, which is a key biomarker of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Aims: To examine the interactions and dynamic behavior of 3HB in a complex with ten polymers by employing molecular docking and MD simulations. Methods: Initially, molecular docking was employed to predict the binding orientations and affinities of the 3HB molecule within the active sites of the polymers. Subsequently, molecular dynamics simulation was utilized to explore the dynamic behavior, stability, and interactions within these complexes for 100 ns. Metabolic and toxicological properties of 3HB using SwissADME were also predicted. Results: N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide (NHMAm), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), itaconic acid (ITA), and N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide (TrisNHMAm) displayed the strongest interactions with 3HB, with binding affinities of -2.64, 2.523, 2.469, and 2.305 kcal/mol, respectively. Various kinds of molecular interactions influence ligand-polymer binding in a variety of ways, as illustrated by the four polymers with the lowest binding affinities. In molecular dynamics, 4-vinylpyridine (4VP), N,N-dimethylacylamide (DMAm), N-(hydroxyethyl)acrylamide (NHEAm), and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) suggest a strong stable complex with 3HB with an overall ΔTOTAL of -0.56, -0.35, -0.32, and -0.27 kcal/mol, respectively. The ADME prediction indicated that 3HB has favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Conclusions: HEMA shows the ability to interact well with 3HB both by molecular docking and molecular dynamics.

“Music is something to cling to; a lifeline” – Music listening in managing life with chronic pain and anxiety
Authors: Skånland Marie Strand
Published: April 2024

This article presents a single case study that explores the role of music listening in managing life with chronic pain and anxiety. Engagement in music can reduce the subjective experience of pain and can be a valuable tool for self-regulation and emotion management. However, engagement in music and the effects deriving from it are highly individual and multifaceted; therefore, it is difficult to make generalisations about the role of music in physiological and psychological functioning. Instead, the present case constitutes an idiographic research approach, based on an understanding that in-depth, qualitative research on individuals’ personal experiences may be fruitful to broaden our knowledge base. Employing an interpretative phenomenological analysis, this article presents a rich, singular case of a woman suffering from chronic pain related to childhood trauma. An in-depth interview explored the informant’s daily music listening habits and how these related to her experiences of physical and mental pain. The informant listens to music to dull the experience of physical pain, to distract her from psychological distress, to keep her in the here-and-now and to represent her healthy self. This case can add to our understanding of music listening as a holistic life management skill in coping with chronic pain and trauma, and stresses the interrelation between body, emotion and cognition.

Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on many individuals. This report aims to explore the impact this pandemic has had on the lives of five music therapy students. Three students from South Africa, one from Scotland, and one from New Zealand came together to write about their experiences of studying music therapy during this global outbreak. Each student shared their responses to three broad questions through writing essays and offering non-verbal creative responses. The report ends with a reflection which ties the individual contributions together and includes a synopsis of the concerns they share as music therapy students entering into the profession during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adapting practice during the Covid-19 pandemic: Experiences, learnings, and observations of a music therapist running virtual music therapy for trafficked women
Authors: McIntyre Lorraine
Published: April 2024

This report describes a 10-week, hybrid face-to-face/virtual pilot project that was run in a safehouse in the south of England for women who had been rescued from human trafficking. Due to the implementation of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, the final three sessions of the pilot project were run online via video conferencing technology (Skype). Outcomes of the project suggested that, while there were challenges, running online sessions was beneficial and better than not offering any music therapy at all. Continued contact and the provision of a safe, therapeutic space was highly valued. This report explores the benefits and challenges of running music therapy in a virtual environment versus music therapy in a face-to-face environment.
Knowledge and training of Orff-based music therapy among students, clinicians, and educators
Authors: Colwell Cynthia
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this research study was to examine knowledge and training of Orff-based music therapy among music therapy students, clinicians and educators using a variety of demographic, training, and outcome variables. The measurement tool was an online survey designed to satisfy this primary purpose and seven associated research questions targeting: (1) Demographics, (2) Definitions, (3) Training, (4) Professional Development (5) Clinical Practice, (6) Treatment Outcomes, and (7) Professional Competencies. Basic descriptive statistics were provided through SurveyMonkey, although the researcher condensed provided narrative content as needed to present summarised text responses. Results and Discussion are organised around these seven primary research questions, with Implications for Training and possibilities for Future Research included. In summarising just a few pertinent results, 56% of the 262 survey respondents indicated having training in Orff- based music therapy within their academic programme. One hundred and four respondents (39.7% of 262) said they used it in their clinical practice and 95.4% thought it could be effective within the social domain. Respondents felt the following professional competencies could be addressed through training in the Orff process for student music therapists: transpose simple compositions; compose songs with simple accompaniment; adapt, arrange, transpose and simplify music compositions for small vocal and nonsymphonic instrumental ensembles; utilise basic percussion techniques on several standard and ethnic instruments; and improvise on pitched and unpitched instruments, and vocally in a variety of settings including individual, dyad, small or large group.
