Factors influencing academic failure rate among first-year Indian medical students who experienced competency-based medical education curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Lalwani D , Kalawadia S , Darooka N , Rao S , Hirkani M
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

The primary objective of the study was to assess the factors that influenced the increased failure rate among first-year Indian medical students who appeared for the Maharashtra University of Health Science (MUHS) summative university examination, having experienced the competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum for the first time amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methods:

A retrospective cross-sectional online questionnaire-based study was undertaken between July 2021 and November 2021, in which first-year Indian medical students who were enrolled in the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program in the year 2019 and appeared for the MUHS summative university examination in February 2021 were invited to participate. Analysis was done using JASP (v0.16.0.0), and the odds ratio for failure was calculated at a significance level of P < 0.05.

Results:

Responses were obtained from 360 individuals, of whom 74.5% had passed and 25.5% had failed (n = 360). The odds of failure in first-year MBBS summative university examination was higher in students with irregular Internet access, irregular device access, an unsupportive peer environment in college, a National Entrance cum Eligibility Test score below 500, an unsupportive family environment during the lockdown, severe stress, severe depression, testing positive for COVID-19 before the exam, death in the family during the exam, and failing in terms and prelims and students of male gender (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

The total failure rate of 27% in the MUHS examination was mainly attributed to interplay between the student’s mental health, lack of devices or Internet, and the changed assessment part of the CBME curriculum. Surprisingly, lecture frequencies, teaching patterns, and study resources did not influence the failure rate. These results can be used to formulate interventions that will help to improve academic performance and mental health students and thus help them adapt to the new curriculum.

Authors: Olaniyan Mathew Folaranmi , Olaniyan Tolulope Busayo , Umeche Evangeline Ijeoma
Published: July 2024

Study Background:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility in Nigeria which is associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance may be induced by elevated inflammatory cytokines, androgen excess (testosterone), and irregular menstruation or anovulation.

Aim and Objective:

This work was designed to determine possible variations in plasma glucose, testosterone, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) in relationship with PCOS and viral seromarkers in infertile women.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred and fourteen (214) primary infertility women with PCOS aged 37 ± 4.93 years diagnosed through ultrasound were recruited as test subjects while one hundred (100) age-matched primary infertility women without PCOS were recruited as control. All subjects were negative to Giemsa thick blood film staining for the detection of Plasmodium and Ziehl–Neelsen staining for the detection of acid–fast bacilli. HIVp24 antigen and antibody, plasma testosterone, antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), and envelope antigen to hepatitis B Virus (HBeAg) were determined in the subjects by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay while blood glucose was measured spectrophotometrically.

Results:

The results obtained showed a higher frequency of 0.93% (2) HIVP24antigen-antibody, 6.5% (17) anti-HCV, 14.5% (31) HBeAg, and 0.5% (1) HIVP24 + HBeAg (except for HIVP24 antigen and antibody) in PCOS women than the frequency of viral seromarkers of 1% (1) HIVP24 antigen and antibody, 6% (6) anti-HCV, 8% (8) HBeAg, and 0% (0) HIVP24 + HBeAg in non-PCOS control women. There was a significant association between PCOS and expression of viral seromarkers; there was a significantly higher fasting plasma glucose and testosterone level in all PCOS women with or without viral seromarkers (P < 0.05). There was a significantly higher plasma TNFα in PCOS women that expressed viral seromarkers than in PCOS women who do not express any of the viral seromarkers (P < 0.05). There was a significantly higher plasma TNFα in PCOS and non-PCOS women although more in PCOS women that expressed viral seromarkers than in women without any viral seromarker (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

PCOS may be characterized by elevated plasma fasting glucose, testosterone, and expression of viral seromarkers while viral infection could also trigger higher plasma TNFα in PCOS women than in non-PCOS women infected with viral agent.
Applying the Conceptual Framework of “Event Religion” to Two Hungarian Festivals
Authors: Heidl Sára Eszter
Published: July 2024

The event religion framework has been developed to enable the study of event experience using the tools of sociology, ethnography and religious studies, independently of the religious affiliation of the event participants or the events themselves. It examines event experience along four dimensions: spatiotemporality, symbols, community, and inward experience. This paper examines the event religion dimensions at a Catholic and a rock-metal music event in Hungary in order to draw attention to similarities and differences in participant experiences at a religious and a non-religious festival.

Pop Spirituality
Authors: Kapcar Andrej
Published: July 2024

Magical practices have undergone significant changes in the past decades, shifting towards accessibility and individuality. With the rise in popularity of individual, custom-designed magical rituals, popular culture has proven to be one of the important aspects associated with the new practice. Influential, reaching a wide audience, with a strong focus on immersive visual aspects, it is of no surprise that practitioners have started to include popcultural elements into their rituals. New schools of magic, such as the influential Chaos Magick, have proven to be a fertile ground for these innovative practices. This paper will focus on the mutual interaction between occult knowledge represented through visual means in popular culture and the magical practice of modern mages.

Authors: Uhrin Michal
Published: July 2024

The cognitive and evolutionary approach to the research of religion in cultural and social anthropology has been systematically developing since the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century. At the end of the 1990s, cognitive and evolutionary theories of religion began to be applied in the research of religion by a narrow group of ethnologists, religionists, and anthropologists in Slovakia. This paper aims to provide a basic overview of the fundamental concepts of cognitive and evolutionary anthropology of religion. It focuses on selected scholars whose works and ideas are considered pivotal in the development of this field. The second objective is to outline how cognitive and evolutionary theories of religion have been reflected in ethnology and sociocultural anthropology in Slovakia.

Published: July 2024

Service innovation has been seen as a significant source of competitive advantage between the market and the business since its inception over two decades ago. Due to the growing interest in service innovation, this study delves deeper into the service innovation phenomenon to understand how service innovation has emerged and provides a comprehensive view of the phenomenon development of service innovation. A review of a systematic investigation of the evolution of “service innovation” in various sectors by conducting a comprehensive analysis (qualitative and quantitative) using 850 publications from the Web of Science was published during the 1996 - 2022 period. The quantitative method used was bibliometrics analysis (citation and co-citation) by VOS-viewer software. The results show that five clusters are distinguishable. Each cluster shows different characteristics of the service innovation sector, including innovation in market-oriented service companies, new service development, service innovation process, adding service value in manufacturing enterprises, and co-creator of value in services. Specifically, we analyse which research flows are relevant to service innovation and compare these themes over time. In-depth analysis and discussion of the five themes have helped to uncover two more sub-themes, service innovation and service innovation in brand engagement that scholars have been interested in and have developed. This paper supports the assertion that service innovation has an interdisciplinary theoretical foundation and that the structure of the service innovation research platform has changed significantly over time.

Authors: Etgeton Márcia , Brasil Larissa Rocha , Aquino Fernanda de Souza , Trajano João Gualda Garrido
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A angiotomografia computadorizada cardíaca (ATCC) é, o exame de primeira linha, para a investigação de doença cardíaca isquêmica, indicado pela maioria das diretrizes de saúde atuais. Ademais, fornece informações adicionais dos órgãos adjacentes, sendo maior a prevalência dos achados incidentais extracardíacos de natureza benigna comparado aos malignos, destes destacam-se os nódulos pulmonares. Objetivo: O presente artigo tem por objetivo uma revisão da literatura atual sobre os principais achados incidentais extracardíacos malignos observados na ATCC. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão sistemática e meta-análise foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, Elsevier e Scopus entre 2011 e maio/2024. Resultados e discussão: Dentre os estudos elegíveis encontrados para esta revisão, utilizamos seis estudos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, a prevalência de achados extracardíacos sugestivos de malignidade foi baixa, acometendo principalmente os pulmões, sendo os nódulos pulmonares os mais prevalentes. Muitos dos achados possuem relevância clínica, pois o diagnóstico e o tratamento precoce podem reduzir a mortalidade por estas causas a longo prazo. Considerações finais: A ATCC apresenta resultados satisfatórios na análise de achados extracardíacos, porém uma pequena parcela desses achados é sugestiva de malignidade. Apesar desta proporção de resultados ser baixa e possa não ser benéfica em termos de custo-efetividade, é válido avaliar todos os dados disponíveis e classificar adequadamente os achados incidentais, que podem ser úteis no manejo futuro. São necessários mais estudos com parâmetros alinhados entre os grupos para melhor avaliação e seguimento dos achados incidentais extracardíacos malignos.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A avaliação da idade óssea realizada por meio de radiografia da mão e punho não dominante é fundamental para acompanhamento do desenvolvimento de crianças e adolescentes, auxiliando na identificação de distúrbios estaturais e puberais. Essa detecção de alteração precoce permite o início de terapia adequada, reduzindo os impactos biopsicológicos acarretados nessa população. Logo, o presente artigo tem por objetivo uma revisão de literatura sobre a aplicação e validade da radiografia de idade óssea em crianças pertencentes a diferentes grupos étnicos. Objetivo: Averiguar a precisão e exatidão da avaliação radiológica da idade óssea em crianças de diferentes grupos étnicos, de modo a destacar limitações atuais e propor adaptações aos métodos atuais. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, cujas bases de dados utilizadas para a construção deste artigo foram PubMed, Cochrane e Scielo, usando os termos: idade óssea, crianças e grupos étnicos, selecionando artigos científicos e de revisão publicados nos últimos cinco anos em língua portuguesa e inglesa. Resultados e discussão: Foram analisados um total de X artigos, no qual evidenciam forte correlação entre alterações na avaliação radiológica da idade óssea e a presença de alterações no crescimento e desenvolvimento infantil. No entanto, destaca-se que houve alterações na validade do exame a depender do grupo étnico a qual a criança pertença, por exemplo, em pacientes asiáticos e árabes houve uma superestimação da idade óssea, bem como na população africana. Considerações finais: O emprego da radiografia na estimativa de idade óssea é satisfatório na maioria das crianças, permitindo diagnóstico de patologias estaturais e puberais. Contudo, se empregado isoladamente, confere alguns vieses que atrapalham sua correta interpretação, devendo levar em consideração a população analisada e suas características clínicas.

Published: July 2024

The Holy Qur'an also describes the expressions of the human face and its meaning in different contexts. This allows for a deeper understanding of the spiritual and linguistic aspects of facial expressions. For example, in the Qur'an there are expressions such as the oppressor biting his hand in regret for what he did, or the believers shedding tears after hearing the truth. Such images show the important role of the face in reflecting the human state of mind through non-verbal expressions.

Published: July 2024

Cooperatives are jointly owned businesses, not owned by capital holders, so all members have the same voting rights. Apart from that, cooperative members have the same position as the management. The difference is in terms of their authority and duties. Therefore, this research aims to describe and analyze the influence of Good Cooperative Governance and cooperative management on the performance of women's cooperatives in East Java. The design of this research is quantitative causality research. The population in this study were all active cooperative members of the Field Extension Officers (PPL) in East Java. The sampling technique used a simple random sampling technique (random sampling) and used the Slovin formula so that the sample was 172 respondents from women's cooperatives in East Java. Data analysis techniques use descriptive analysis and SEM analysis. This research shows that implementing Good Cooperative Governance and cooperative management has positively impacted the performance activities of women's cooperatives in East Java. Apart from providing education and training, the contribution of cooperative management is to provide more motivation and enthusiasm to be responsible for paying off principal and mandatory savings, one of the cooperative's most significant capital. The management meetings, annual member meetings, and the remaining results of the cooperative's business show that all these criteria have been implemented well to achieve a cooperative with good governance. It is hoped that the results of this research will become a general basis in the world of cooperatives and specifically for women's cooperatives in East Java, East Java as a source for cooperative goals themselves through a model that has been built based on aspects of Good Cooperative Governance and cooperative management in cooperatives.

Findings: Studies on urban green spaces in Costa Rica reveal that human disturbance, such as habitat fragmentation and artificial lighting, generally reduces bat species diversity. While some adaptable species may thrive, overall bat richness and abundance decline due to habitat loss and alteration. Conservation efforts should focus on mitigating these impacts to sustain diverse bat populations in urban environments.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Habitat fragmentation theory, behavioral ecology theory & ecosystem services theory   may be used to anchor future studies on relationship between human disturbance and bat species diversity in urban green spaces in Costa Rica In practice, it is essential to integrate biodiversity conservation into urban planning frameworks. Policy recommendations focus on incorporating biodiversity conservation goals into urban development policies and regulations. Policies should support the designation of green infrastructure networks and protected areas within urban landscapes to maintain ecological connectivity for bats and other wildlife.
