Authors:   Rubio Carmen PhD1, Tena Martha M.D. 1, Rojas Daniel A. M.D. 1, Sotelo Julio, PhD. 1, Lee Angel M.D. 2
Published: March 2022

Background: Bibliometrics is a completive method of research and analyses useful to understand the collective contributions of a given scientific community. The detail of the quantity (productivity) and impact as a surrogate marker of quality can shed light on what we have done (number of articles) and how we impact others (citations). It also shows the direction the community can take for further research, guided by its shortcomings and successes. The publications of Latin American medical institutions on brain neoplasms have never been studied. Objective: Analyze a clinical and experimental approach, identifying core journals, type of article, increase of published material with time, number of citations. Additionally, we identified the most researched topics involved in brain tumor literature. Material and methods: We harvested the articles published by at least one author from the Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía from Mexico from its inception in 1964 to 2020. Key bibliometric parameters, as the journal of publication, type of paper, number of articles, and citations were recorded. Results: In cerebral neoplasms, our institution produced 291 articles (clinical versus experimental: 227 vs. 64). With a modest productivity before 2000, the production had increased 8-fold by 2019. The main topic is glioblastoma, also with the highest number of citations. Researchers prefer to conduct original investigations rather than subject reviews. Most papers were published in Archivos de Neurociencias (institutional journal produced in Spanish), most papers published in English were in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology. Discussion: Productivity had an encouraging growth in the last decade, but more emphasis should be given to target international journals, which offer a high number of readers and citations. Strategies to reach these goals have to be found and should be implemented. Conclusion: Research on brain tumors in Mexico has recently shown buoyancy and we should profit from this inertia to give a definitive boost to it, which might benefit authors and institutional prestige. But mainly, with a more robust research, we could find better solutions for our patients, applicable in the national and international context.
PSO based Hybrid PID-FLC Sugeno Control for Excitation System of Large Synchronous Motor
Authors: Duong Hung Quoc , Nguyen Quang Hong , Nguyen Duy Tien , Nguyen Lanh Van
Published: March 2022

This paper proposes a hybrid control system integrating a PID controller and a fuzzy logic controller, using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize control parameters. The control object is an excitation system for a large synchronous motor, which is widely used in large power transmission systems. In practice, the change in load and excitation source can affect the operating mode of the motor. Therefore, a hybrid controller is designed to stabilize the power factor, resulting in better working performance. In the control algorithm, a PID controller is initially designed using PSO to optimize the control coefficients. The FLC-Sugeno control is then integrated with the PID, in which PSO is utilized to optimize membership functions. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-02-01 Full Text: PDF
Positioning Climate Therapy Stays as a Health Tourism Product: An Evidence-Based Approach
Authors: Droli Maurizio , Bašan Lorena , Vassallo Fabio Giuseppe
Published: March 2022

Background: The relationship between Length Of Stay (LOS) and Metres Above Sea Level (MASL) of Climate Therapy Stays (CTSs) and their therapeutic effectiveness and efficiency has been under-researched in the last four decades. As a consequence, the potentials of short-term and low-altitude CTSs remain unknown. Objectives: The purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it aims to ascertain whether LOS and MASL are related to the percentage change of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and the percentage change of FEV1 Compound Daily Improvement Rate (FEV1 CDIR % Change). Secondly, it aims to provide an evidence-based positioning of CTSs by considering the same specific variables. Methods/Analysis: The study focuses on young people (age ˂18) who have asthma problems. The Resource-Based Theory, postulating the valuability of natural resources generating above-average benefits, has been adopted as a conceptual lens. Primary studies carried out in eastern and western European countries and separately reviewed have been considered jointly. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between LOS and MASL of CTSs with FEV1Change (%) and FEV1Change CDIR (%) as indicators of health improvements. The descriptive statistics were implemented in calculating standardized and aggregated values. Findings: Negative and significant relationships have been highlighted between FEV1 Change (%) and MASL and between FEV1 Change CDIR % and LOS. In other words, subjects can achieve significant health improvements even by experiencing very short climate therapy stays at very low altitude mountain centres. Considering the FEV1Change (%) and the FEV1 Change CDIR (%) of climate stays by duration and elevation, the evidence-based knowledge platform has been established as a possible framework for developing an evidence-based marketing strategy for new health tourism products. Novelty/Improvement:Notwithstanding the need for further research, the metrics facilitating interdisciplinary, human health and economic studies have been devised. Further research on the effects of low altitude climate therapy stays could help define the healing potentials of macro and microclimatic conditions as potentially valuable ‘health devices’ for those suffering from respiratory diseases living in the COVID-19 era. Quantifying these effects through further studies, an evidence-based approach to formulating marketing strategies may be devised, useful both for supporting public health provision and policies, and for facilitating practitioners in health tourism interested in offering nature-based activities for their clients. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-02-04 Full Text: PDF

Published: March 2022

Recurring cases of suicide, escapement, riots, and overcapacity have been observed in correctional institutions in Indonesia. Mental health issues are one of the causes of such a phenomenon. The emergence of this mental health issue may negatively impact inmates and cause disturbances in correctional institutions. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) focuses on transforming an irrational concept into a rational belief. This study aims to investigate the effects of REBT counseling with patronage technique on reducing anxiety levels. This new Patron-Client platform, equipped with the signification of gratitude and contentment, becomes a new form of proper counseling in a correctional institution. This study adopted the quasi-experiment before-after method with the Solomon four-group design. To garner the data, it involved four groups divided into two experimental and two control groups, consisting of 240 research population and 160 research subjects. ANOVA and T-test analysis were used to further analyze the obtained data. The findings show significantly different anxiety levels in the inmate groups before and after the treatment. Besides, no difference was observed in the inmates who did not receive the treatment. This study concludes that REBT counseling with patronage technique significantly decreases the inmates’ anxiety levels in the correctional institution. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-02-08 Full Text: PDF

Published: March 2022

The background of this research is the understanding of Tantrayana as a madzhab spread across Java, Sumatra and Bali. Although the origin of Tantrayana is from India, this teaching is very strong in Bali and has also succeeded in contributing to the care and preservation of nature. In addition, the environmental problems in Indonesia never end, the teachings of Tantrayana can offer solutions in environmental care. Tantrayana succeeded in making humans obedient and obedient to Together loving nature and the environment. This research offers a critical study of environmental ethics implemented in Tantrayana teachings. This study aims to analyze the form of Tantrayana teachings, describe the forms of environmental ethics contained in Tantrayana teachings and the application of environmental ethics based on Tantrayana teachings in the village of Tapak Siring, Gianyar Bali. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method using data triangulation technique. The results that have been achieved include the arrangement of the Tantrayana rituals that are still being practiced by the Balinese people, the understanding of the teachings of Tantrayana which teaches people to love and preserve nature, and the Tantrayana ceremonies that are still being implemented in Bali. Based on the results of the research that has been done, this research is able to show the concept of Tantrayana teachings that are still applied in Tapak Siring Bali and make the surrounding community highly appreciate the universe. This research also offers the development of further research in order to explore the side of Tantrayana in other areas in Indonesia, because Tantrayana is not only in Bali but also in Java and Sumatra. The other side of Tantrayana is very interesting to discuss and study further because the perspective of Tantrayana is still blurry and negative because of the difficult literary language to understand.
The Effect of Scientific Learning with Video Media on Students' Understanding of Animal Adjustment to Their Environment
Authors: Kusuma Rendra Sakbana , Arifin Zainal
Published: March 2022

Science learning in elementary schools has the aim of introducing students to nature and the surrounding environment and being able to understand the role of students in environmental conservation. Science consists of various science theories and through real learning students are able to understand these theories. So far, the implementation of science learning in elementary schools is still using conventional learning models through lectures, questions and answers, and assignments. In learning science, teachers tend to use image media in elementary school science textbooks. Learning that is more dominated by teachers causes students to become passive so that students' understanding of science material is low. To overcome these problems, teachers need to innovate in order to be able to improve the quality of science learning. One of the innovations that can be done by teachers is using a scientific approach in science learning and utilizing video as a science learning medium. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of scientific learning with video media on students' understanding of the adaptation of animals to their environment. The researcher uses a quantitative research approach because the data generated is in the form of numbers and analyzed statistically. This research is an experimental research and a one group pretest-posttest research design. The population and sample of this study were students of class V with a total of 23 students. The instrument used to collect research data was a test sheet to measure students' understanding of the adaptation of animals to their environment. By using a paired sample t test analysis through SPSS 21, it was concluded that there was an effect of scientific learning with video media on students' understanding of the adaptation of animals to their environment.

Authors: Dhananjoy Saha , Sampa Dhabal , Dhrubo Jyoti Sen
Published: March 2022

Forensic analysis of explosives includes analysis of post-explosion residues, and detection and identification of traces of explosives on suspects’ hands, on clothing, and on other related items. Preliminary field tests may be used for screening the debris on the explosion site. They include commercially available explosive vapor detectors and chemical color tests. Like post-explosion residues, personal items suspected to contain traces of explosives and hand-swabs, are often heavily contaminated. It is therefore of major importance that the analytical procedures have to include good screening, clean-up, and extraction methods. The main explosives dealt with in this chapter include nitroaromatic explosives, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6, N-tetranitro-N-methyl aniline (tetryl), nitrate esters, such as ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN), glycerol trinitrate (nitroglycerin, NG), and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and nitramine explosives, such as 1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane, (RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane (HMX), as well as mixtures containing one or more of these explosives. Additional explosives include triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and ammonium nitrate (AN), NH4NO3.
How Hotel Brand Website Contributes to Online Hotel Reservation on Consumer Review Website?
Authors: ASSARUT Nuttapol , EİAMKANCHANALAİ Somkiat
Published: March 2022

While past research only attempted to investigate the impact of consumer review website characteristics on the hotel reservation behavior, this study incorporated both characteristics of hotel brand website and consumer review website into consideration. Impacts of the two types of websites on reservation behaviors in consumer review websites were examined. The moderating effects of consumer involvement and risk aversion factors were also considered. Three hundred and two respondents from the questionnaire survey were chosen from Bangkok metropolitan population aged 25-60, who experienced with online hotel reservations. The findings show that apart from the review website’s ease of use, information usefulness and price offered, brand website’s information usefulness also has positive impact on consumers’ decisions on the review website. However, brand website’s ease of use discourages the usage of the review website. High-risk aversion consumers tend to use the review websites, while high-involvement consumers pay less intention to the review websites’ information usefulness and are unlikely to use them. These findings will help managers effectively manage and design decision algorithm for their multi-channels of hotel e-commerce. The results explain dynamic, search sequence and interrelationship of current traveler’s behaviors. The source of their hotel search is both consumer review website and hotel brand website.

Platostoma palustre (Pp) jelly is a traditional food. Pp has been used as folk medicine and is effective against heat-shock, hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ethanolic extracts of Pp’ genotoxicity. The ethanolic extracts of Pp by using 40% ethanol for extraction. Evaluation of genotoxicity of ethanolic extracts of Pp by micronucleus assay was performed in vivo. During the in vivo genotoxicity-evaluated experiment, the experimental animal’s clinical behavior, body weight (BW), food consumption, and the percentage of RET/RBCs (reticulocytes/red blood cells) and MN-RET/RETs (micronucleated reticulocytes/reticulocytes) after the treatments of Pp ethanolic extracts were evaluated. Both sexes Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were given three daily treatments by intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg of mitomycin C (genotoxicity induction) or by oral route of 200 μL of PBS (normal control group). Until 48 h after the last treatment, K2-EDTA-anticoagulated peripheral blood specimens were collected. These blood samples were processed for the microscopy-based analysis using Giemsa stain and the percentage of reticulocytes and micronucleated reticulocytes was determined. The results were shown that the experimental animal’s clinical behaviors were normal in all groups. The BW and food consumption were no significant difference between all groups. RET/RBCs (‰) in male or female ICR mice in the negative control group, the normal control group, the high dose of Pp ethanolic extract group, the middle dose of Pp ethanolic extract group, and the low dose of Pp ethanolic extract group were respectively 7.8 ± 0.8 / 8.6 ± 0.8, 23.2 ± 1.5 / 22.1 ± 1.3, 22.8 ± 1.6 / 22.1 ± 1.7, 23.2 ± 1.5 / 22.6 ± 1.0 and 22.2 ± 1.9 / 23.9 ± 1.9; MN-RET/RETs (‰) in male or female ICR mice in the negative control group, the normal control group, the high dose of Pp ethanolic extract group, the middle dose of Pp ethanolic extract group, and the low dose of Pp ethanolic extract group were 2.0 ± 0.0 / 2.0 ± 0.0, 43.2 ± 10.6 / 39.6 ± 10.9, 1.8 ± 0.4 / 1.6 ± 0.5, 1.6 ± 0.5 / 1.4 ± 0.5, and 1.8 ± 0.4 / 1.6 ± 0.5, respectively. Both RET/RBCs (‰) and MN-RET/RETs (‰) in male or female ICR mice in the negative control group were significantly difference than the other groups (p < 0.001). Taken all results together, Pp ethanolic extracts were without genotoxicity. Therefore, Pp ethanolic extracts were safety.

Published: March 2022

The health care sector has shown increased interest in humanistic outcomes of therapy. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) evaluation among patients receiving treatment for chronic diseases is now widely applied. Hence, the effect of education on the HRQOL of hypertensive patients was evaluated in two tertiary health facilities; FMC, Yenagoa and NDUTH, Okolobiri in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Trained Pharmacist interviewed willing hypertensive patients between 21-80 years of age at the cardiology clinics of the health facilities using the MINICHAL questionnaire which is specific for hypertension. A convenient sampling technique was adopted. Demographic characteristics were also obtained. The responses (425) were analyzed and observed. To evaluate the effect of drugs and educational intervention, an interactive health talks on hypertension was held at their cardiology clinic weekly for six weeks. Two months later the questionnaire was re-administered. The responses post intervention (297) was analyzed. The results were then compared. The MINICHAL rates HRQOL as best=0 to worst=51. HRQOL score of 12.96 to 8.00 in FMC Yenagoa and 8.70 to 8.55 in NDUTH Okolobiri, pre and post intervention respectively was observed. Though not significant (P=0.3998), the study revealed that educational intervention brought about a positive trend in demographic characteristics. Age, marriage and education were indicated as strong indicators of HRQOL. Educational intervention on hypertension improves patient’s HRQOL. Patients’ education and counseling should be a continuous tool in patient management.

Published: March 2022

A study on the characterisation of the Lep'oo stream waters in Mbanda (BotMakak) by physicochemical parameters and benthic macroinvertebrates community was conducted from February to July 2016. Physicochemical parameters were measured according to Rodier's recommendations, while benthic macroinvertebrates were collected using the multihabitat approach. The physicochemical analysis showed that the waters of the Lep'oo stream were well oxygenated (71.16%), slightly acidic (6.36 UC), with low values of nitrogen and orthophosphates reflecting litter decomposition. A total of 2019 benthic macroinvertebrates were collected, divided into 4 phyla, 7 classes, 15 orders, 40 families and over 60 genera. The phylum Arthropoda was the most abundant with 98.61% relative abundance, followed by Molluscs (0.99%) and Annelids (0.29%). The greatest number of organisms collected belonged to the class Hexapoda, which represented 56.76% of relative abundance, followed by Malacostraca (41.75%). Within the Hexapoda class, the order Hemiptera predominated with 18.22% relative abundance and in the Malacostraca class, the order Decapoda predominated with 41.75% relative abundance. These two orders were dominated by the families Atyidae, Libellulidae, Gerridae, Leptophlebidae and Hydroptilidea. In the upper part of the Lep'oo stream, the families Libellulidae and Belostomatidae were dominant. The station Lep2 was most colonised by the families Atyidae, Libellulidae, Belostomatidae, Hydrometridae, and Gerridae, while station Lep3 was dominated by the families Atyidae, Hydroptilidae and Leptophlebidae. The Shannon and Weaver (H') and Piélou equitability (J) index showed a greater diversity of taxa downstream of the stream at station Lep3, where conditions seem more favourable to the development of benthic macroinvertebrates as indicated by the physicochemical results. The NGBI index characterized water quality from mediocre to excellent. Finaly, the Lep'oo watercourse had a poor and diversified population of benthic macroinvertebrates, showing a relative good ecological quality of water.
A Problem Waits: Is it True that Resource-Based Theory (RBT) is an Empty Tautology?
Authors: Apriliyanti Indri Dwi
Published: March 2022

Resource-based theory (RBT) has gained its maturity as a theory, and it has heavily shaped the path of research in the organization and management field. However, RBT has been criticized due to its quality and deemed to be a theory that is tautological. This study explores the evolution of resource-based theory (RBT) using the Thomas Kuhn cycle. Employing a critical literature review approach, this study identifies all articles related to RBT in the organization and management field from 1959 to 2021 and finds 141 articles. The findings have demonstrated that RBT has evolved, and it has become a better ‘puzzle solver’ as it provides a more comprehensive theoretical lens to analyze broader phenomenon of organization, particularly concerning its competitive advantage. Nonetheless, the study also sheds some light on the potential weaknesses of RBT. Inclusiveness of RBT is suggested to be a sign of tautology as the theory has a very broad definition of resources hence can embrace all phenomena in the field of organization’s strategic management. In addition to that, scholars find difficulty to define or operationalize several key concepts in RBT leading to obstruction in its ability to be tested empirically. And the vagueness of concepts creates a tautology problem in RBT that the theory cannot be verified or falsified. Thomas Kuhn suggests that theories can be developed, thus, despite its current weakness, RBT can still be improved by increasing accuracy of its key concepts. From the analysis, this study develops a theoretical recommendation regarding the use of RBT theory particularly in public administration research.

New Ways of Supporting Child Abuse and Sexual Violence Survivors: a social justice call for an innovative commissioning pathway
Authors: Lomani Jo
Published: March 2022

This report outlines the needs of child sexual abuse and sexual violence survivors in relation to the current conceptualisation and provision for 'personality disorder'. It has been collaboratively written by a socially diverse collective of survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) and sexual violence (SV). Many of us have been forced to accept a personality disorder diagnosis and we wanted to come together to share our experiences and to propose less harmful approaches to future service provision for our population.We are asking for trauma-specific pathways, separate from personality disorder (or any re-named personality disorder) services. As a group, we have been profoundly harmed by both the application of the personality disorder construct, i.e. the ways in which services treat us as a result of the construct, and also by the treatment pathways which are harmful for our population.As a group, we suffer from high levels of dissociation and trauma specifically related to our CSA/SV experiences. These have long been neglected because the only current provision for people like us sits within the personality disorder (PD) field.In addition to this, we are bringing attention to the harm caused by current behaviourist approaches and systems that criminalise our distress rather than provide alternative support.We explain how LGBTQ+ survivors are being doubly failed by services in that they are having their sexuality and gender identity understood and pathologised as a symptom of 'PD' leading to increased shame and self-hatred.Ultimately, this report highlights how we have been failed and re-traumatised by state systems that are supposed to protect and support us when we were at our most vulnerable. It also shows how 'PD' has been used to silence and reframe our experiences. We finish by making recommendations for new trauma-specific pathways and services that are completely removed from a personality disorder frame of understanding.

We are visual animals. How we perceive, understand and interact with the world is intimately tied to our visual sense. Yet, the value of monitoring ocular activity in neuroscientific experiments is often overlooked. In this chapter, we set out to highlight how a whole host of ocular phenomena relate to brain function and human cognition, with a special focus on intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) recordings. We begin by describing key ocular events, such as saccades and fixations, before discussing the extensive impact these ocular events have on common neural phenomenon and measurable behaviour. Lastly, we provide practical recommendations for combining eye tracking and intracranial EEG in neuroscientific research.
A jsPsych plugin for visual analogue scales
Authors: Kinley Isaac

Visual analogue scales (VASs) allow survey respondents to specify their answers with a high degree of precision, unlike Likert-type scales in which only a few categorical responses are available. In web-based research, HTML sliders (in which the respondent drags and drops a marker) are sometimes used as a substitute for VASs, but sliders produce data of a lower quality than true point-and-click VASs. Here, I introduce a plugin for jsPsych that enables survey responses using a true VAS, enabling researchers to collect self-report data on a continuum without the drawbacks of sliders.

The domain of cognitive control has been a major focus of experimental, neuroscience, and individual differences research. Currently, however, no theory of cognitive control successfully unifies both experimental and individual differences findings. Some perspectives deny that there even exists a unified psychometric cognitive control construct to be measured at all. These shortcomings of the current literature may reflect the fact that current cognitive control paradigms are optimized for the detection of within-subject experimental effects rather than individual differences. In the current study, we examine the psychometric properties of the Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Control (DMCC) task battery, which was designed in accordance with a theoretical framework that postulates common sources of within-subject and individual differences variation. We evaluated both internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and for the latter, utilized both classical test theory measures (i.e., split-half methods, intraclass correlation) and newer hierarchical Bayesian estimation of generative models. Although traditional psychometric measures suggested poor reliability, the hierarchical Bayesian models indicated a different pattern, with good to excellent test-retest reliability in almost all tasks and conditions examined. Moreover, within-task, between-condition correlations were generally increased when using the Bayesian model derived estimates, and these higher correlations appeared to be directly linked to the higher reliability of the measures. In contrast, between-task correlations remained low regardless of theoretical manipulations or estimation approach. Together, these findings highlight the advantages of Bayesian estimation methods, while also pointing to the important role of reliability in the search for a unified theory of cognitive control.
