The article deals with the actual problems of compensation for moral damage arising in theory and judicial practice. In particular, the concept of "moral harm" is considered from the point of view of the expediency of its use to denote physical and moral suffering," the property status of the victim is considered as a criterion for determining the amount of compensation. Judicial practice is also analyzed, the question is raised about the need to supplement the list of cases when citizens have the right to count on compensation for moral damage in violation of their property rights. It is suggested that it is necessary to create a special "Moral Damage Compensation Fund".

Authors: Choi Chul-Hee
Published: February 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was primarily to develop a self-reported questionnaire and a screening tool of the age-related hearing loss. The current study strived to develop its content and construct validity and test-retest reliability of the Age-Related Hearing Loss Questionnaire (ARHLQ).Methods: After considering a lot of factors of age-related hearing loss, 21 audiologists (age, 45 ± 11.13 to 46.7 ± 10.70 years, clinical experience period, 10 ± 7.7 to 13.4 ± 9.96 years) working at hearing aid centers or universities responded to a 5-point Likert questionnaire to evaluate the content validity. Content Validity Index (CVI) of each item was obtained and evaluated by the cut-off point of 0.75 indicating good content validity. Furthermore, the construct validity with factor analysis and the test-retest reliability with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient were evaluated.Results: Used by the cut-off point of 0.75 of CVI, the six items of the first ARHLQ and one item of the second ARHLQ were eliminated. The ARHLQ was twice revised based on the content validity and the elaboration of expression of each item. Finally, the 24 items were made and selected in the ARHLQ. The factor analysis confirmed the four factors such as communication difficulty (9 items), communication environment (5 items), emotion and others' reaction (6 items), and communication strategy (3 items). The factor analysis showed good construct validity and the test-retest reliability was at a high level.Conclusion: These results indicate that the ARHLQ is a useful screening tool to evaluate people with suspecting age-related hearing loss and for early identification for age-related hearing loss.

THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE WE PASS WITH A AS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH IN IMPLEMENTING COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT: A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION
Authors: Suhoyo Yoyo , Rahayu Gandes Retno
Published: February 2023

Background: A practical approach to assist teachers of medical and health profession education in designing and implementing competency-based assessment (CBA) is needed. This study aimed to investigate the acceptability of the method we developed, namely WE PASS with A as a comprehensive approach in designing and implementing CBA system.Methods: We invited medical and health profession teachers from various institutions in Indonesia who voluntarily join 4 times national workshops of the WE PASS with A. Workshop was conducted in two days (14 hours).  Eighty-three teachers have participated in this study. Six closed questions using 5 Likert scales and 2 open questions was given at the end of each workshop.Results: Most teachers agreed that WE PASS with A approach covers all necessary principles for designing comprehensive assessment, helps them to understand better step by step, provides clear guideline, and can be learnt easily. However, most of them were doubt that their institutions have applied all steps in the WE PASS with A approach and can apply this approach. Teachers like the WE PASS with A approach because the approach is comprehensive, systematic, applicable, structured, simple, understood and remembered, measurable, ideal and accountable. Giving more examples, longer time to explain, more practice, socialization, and investigating the implementation were believed can improve the approach.Conclusion: The WE PASS with A can be accepted by the teachers of medical and health profession education in Indonesia. Future study needed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of this approach.

Published: February 2023

Background

The Banff Classification for Allograft Pathology recommendations for the diagnosis of kidney transplant rejection includes molecular assessment of the transplant biopsy. However, implementation of molecular tools in clinical practice is still limited, partly due to the required expertise and financial investment. The reverse transcriptase multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (RT-MLPA) assay is a simple, rapid, and inexpensive assay that permits simultaneous evaluation of a restricted gene panel using paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a RT-MLPA assay for diagnosis and classification of rejection.

Methods

A retrospective cohort of 220 kidney transplant biopsies from two centers, which included 52 antibody-mediated rejection, 51 T-cell–mediated rejection, and 117 no-rejection controls, was assessed. A 17-gene panel was identified on the basis of relevant pathophysiological pathways. A support vector machine classifier was developed. A subset of 109 biopsies was also assessed using the Nanostring Banff Human Organ Transplant panel to compare the two assays.

Results

The support vector machine classifier train and test accuracy scores were 0.84 and 0.83, respectively. In the test cohort, the F1 score for antibody-mediated rejection, T-cell–mediated rejection, and control were 0.88, 0.86, and 0.69, respectively. Using receiver-operating characteristic curves, the area under the curve for class predictions was 0.96, 0.89, and 0.91, respectively, with a weighted average at 0.94. Classifiers' performances were highest for antibody-mediated rejection diagnosis with 94% correct predictions, compared with 88% correct predictions for control biopsies and 60% for T-cell–mediated rejection biopsies. Gene expression levels assessed by RT-MLPA and Nanostring were correlated: r = 0.68, P < 0.001. Equivalent gene expression profiles were obtained with both assays in 81% of the samples.

Conclusions

The 17-gene panel RT-MLPA assay, developed here for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded kidney transplant biopsies, classified kidney transplant rejection with an overall accurate prediction ratio of 0.83.

Authors: Ushiogi Yasuyuki , Kanehara Hideo , Kato Tamayo
Published: February 2023

Background

Hypoglycemia represents a risk for serious morbidity. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of hypoglycemia by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with CKD with or without diabetes.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, outpatients with CKD stages G3–G5 (including hemodialysis) and type 2 diabetes without CKD were enrolled and underwent intermittently scanned CGM measurements for 7 days. The burden of CGM-measured hypoglycemia was assessed using the 7-day sum of area over the curve with glucose levels <70 mg/dl and the sum of time spent <54  mg/dl.

Results

A total of 366 participants (148 participants with CKD and diabetes, 115 with CKD and without diabetes, and 103 without CKD and with diabetes) were included. Glucose levels of <54  mg/dl were observed in 41% of participants with CKD and diabetes, 48% of participants with CKD and without diabetes, and 14% of participants with diabetes and without CKD. However, only two participants reported hypoglycemic symptoms during CGM measurements, which were confirmed and documented by capillary blood glucose measurements. Between-group differences of 7-day area over the curve (<70 mg/dl) were as follows: hemodialysis group versus CKD stage G4 and G5 groups, −0.25 min·mg/dl per hour (95% confidence interval [CI], −6.40 to −0.59) P<0.001; CKD stage G4 and G5 groups versus CKD stage G3 group, −0.08 min·mg/dl per hour (95% CI, −0.0 to −0.50) P=0.15; and CKD stage G3 group versus diabetes without CKD group, −0.14 min·mg/dl per hour (95% CI, −0.0 to −0.20) P=0.01. In addition, the subgroup analysis of the diabetic or nondiabetic and at daytime or nighttime showed that the 7-day area over the curve (<70 mg/dl) and time spent (<54 mg/dl) was larger with worse kidney function.

Conclusions

The lowering level of kidney function was strongly associated with the burden of hypoglycemia in patients with CKD.

Published: February 2023

Background

Emerging case series described a temporal association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and de novo or relapsing kidney diseases. We aimed to further understand vaccination- and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–associated kidney diseases.

Methods

We present findings from native kidney biopsies of patients recently vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 (n=27) and those with COVID-19 (n=15), reviewed at a single German center. Diagnoses were compared among all native kidney biopsies (n=10,206) obtained between the prepandemic (2019), pandemic (2020), and vaccination periods (2021) to determine whether there was an increase in kidney diseases in the observed periods.

Results

Biopsy indication was increased serum creatinine and/or new-onset proteinuria. Glomerulopathies (20/27, 74%) were more common than tubulointerstitial diseases in postvaccination patients, with necrotizing GN (8/27, 30%) and primary podocytopathies and other GN types (6/27, 22% each) the most common forms. Acute tubular injury was the most common kidney disease in patients with COVID-19, followed by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and necrotizing GN. The postvaccination and COVID-19 infection groups had similar kidney function recovery rates (69% and 73%, respectively). Furthermore, the frequencies of necrotizing GN, pauci-immune GN, TMA, or primary podocytopathies at our center did not increase between 2019 and 2021.

Conclusions

We observed differences in entity frequencies between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or COVID-19 groups, with glomerulopathies being more common in patients after vaccination and tubulointerstitial diseases in patients with COVID-19. Cases of TMA were observed only in the COVID-19 group. We detected no increase in the frequency of necrotizing GN, TMA, or podocytopathies between 2019 and 2021.

Published: February 2023

Background

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine effectiveness studies in the hemodialysis population have demonstrated that two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe complications when Alpha and Delta were predominant variants of concern. Vaccine effectiveness after a third dose versus two doses for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 in the hemodialysis population against Omicron is not known.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada, between December 1, 2021, and February 28, 2022, in the maintenance hemodialysis population who had received two versus three doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 vaccination, SARS-CoV-2 infection, and related hospitalization and death were determined from provincial databases. The primary outcome was the first RT-PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the secondary outcome was a SARS-CoV-2–related severe outcome, defined as either hospitalization or death.

Results

A total of 8457 individuals receiving in-center hemodialysis were included. At study initiation, 2334 (28%) individuals received three doses, which increased to 7468 (88%) individuals by the end of the study period. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for SARS-CoV-2 infection (aHR, 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.50 to 0.67) and severe outcomes (hospitalization or death) (aHR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.56) were lower after three versus two doses of mRNA vaccine. Prior infection, independent of vaccine status, was associated with a lower risk of reinfection, with an aHR of 0.44 (95% CI, 0.27 to 0.73).

Conclusions

Three-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was associated with lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe SARS-CoV-2–related outcomes during the Omicron period compared with two doses.

Published: February 2023

Background

The cause for differences in serum creatinine between Black and non-Black individuals incorporated into prior GFR-estimating equations is not understood. We explored whether social determinants of health can account for this difference.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of baseline data of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease and Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort studies (N=1628 and 1423, respectively). Data in both study cohorts were stratified by race (Black versus non-Black). We first evaluated the extent to which the coefficient of Black race in estimating GFR from creatinine is explained by correlations of race with social determinants of health and non-GFR determinants of creatinine. Second, we evaluated whether the difference between race groups in adjusted mean creatinine can be explained by social determinants of health and non-GFR determinants of creatinine.

Results

In models regressing measured GFR on creatinine, age, sex, and race, the coefficient for Black race was 21% (95% confidence interval, 0.176 to 0.245) in Modification of Diet in Renal Disease and 13% (95% confidence interval, 0.097 to 0.155) in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort and was not attenuated by the addition of social determinants of health, alone or in combination. In both studies, the coefficient for Black race was larger at lower versus higher income levels. In models, regressing creatinine on measured GFR, age, and sex, mean creatinine was higher in Black versus non-Black participants in both studies, with no effect of social determinants of health.

Conclusions

Adjustment for selected social determinants of health did not influence the relationship between Black race and creatinine-based estimated GFR.

The effect of contextual versus morphological inference intervention on the acquisition of derivative in 2nd and 3rd graders
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Chung Bhuja , Jeong HyeWon
Published: February 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth of acquisition of derivatives and the effectiveness of two intervention approaches; contextual versus morphological inference interventions.
Methods In this study, forty-two 2nd to 3rd-grade elementary students were divided into two groups and each group respectively completed either a contextual interference intervention program or a morphological interference intervention program. As the program aimed to assess the efficacy of meaning acquisition in derivatives, they were implemented in two second-grade classroom and two third-grade classrooms, centering on the learning of four ‘prefix-root’ words and six ‘root-suffix’ words.
Results Results showed that both programs were effective in the meaning acquisition, showing no meaningful difference between the contextual and morphological inference programs. There were no disparities according to grades and programs as well. Such results imply that in terms of vocabulary acquisition, morphological interference intervention programs are as fruitful as the previously validated contextual interference intervention programs.
Conclusions This may be elucidated by the developmental features of second to third-grade children, whose morphological awareness as well as their semantic interference and monitoring ability are in the course of maturity. Meanwhile, the children in each program also showed rather different reactions. While the children of the contextual interference program were shown to conjugate their newly acquired vocabularies in different contexts regularly, children from the morphological interference program displayed frequent morphological analysis, concentrating on both partial and general meaning.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Sang-Won , Ahn Jeong-Min , Kwon Ki-Han
Published: February 2023

Objectives This thesis aims at investigating cases of the course-type curriculum in the vocational high school’s beauty department, which is a course-type model with in the department precisely selected from Vocational High school credit system models, followed by the implementation of the 2022 revised curriculum and the high school credit system, and satisfaction surveys.
Methods From October to November 2022, a questionnaire was conducted by a total of 160 third-year students in the vocational high school beauty department in Seoul regarding selection of the course-type specific majors, their satisfaction level towards its curriculum and environment, and their preferred occupations. It was further undertaken by 20 teachers who performed the course-type curriculum. The survey results were then used to perform the frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, t-statistics, Chi-square test and One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Results The dominant factor upon course-type major selection was personal reason, followed by hair, makeup and skincare reasons, and the hair department students tend to select their majors most precisely. Their satisfaction with the educational environment appeared not to differ by each department, whereas respondents revealed varied level of satisfaction with the course-type curriculum in an order descending of Hair, Makeup and Skincare group. The hair group showed higher interest than others on desire to work in the industry. Teachers’ satisfaction were overall high except for the financial support on curriculum operation.
Conclusions Prior to the complete implementation of the high school credit system, the development and coordination of a structured education curriculum have to take place through surveys. We hope that the findings of this study would be applied and assist in implementing and sustaining the course-type curriculum upon full implementation of the credit system. This study suggests follow-up research on comparative cases by different regions and different high school units for further investigating its limitations and management plans.

Published: February 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study was to confirm the mediating effect of emotional clarity and self-compassion, in the relationship between resilience and father's and mother’s empathic emotional response perceived by undergraduate university students.
Methods An online survey sampled a total of 501 students (247 men and, 254 women), enrolled in undergraduate university programs across the country were surveyed. Data was collected online form 1 June to 30 June 21 2021, and Correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 25, to estimate the relationship between variables. The structural equation model was analyzed using the Mplus 8.6.
Results The results of the study are as follows. First, there was a meaningful correlation between the resilience of university students, paternal empathy and maternal empathy, emotional clarity, and self-compassion variables. Second, emotional clarity had a mediating effect in the relationship between paternal and maternal empathy, and resilience perceived by university students. Third, looking at the mediating effect of self-compassion in the relationship between father's and mother's and resilience perceived by university students, self-compassion had a mediating effect in the relationship between father's empathy and resilience, but it did not have the same effect in the relationship between mother's empathy and resilience. Fourth, it was confirmed that, in the relationship between father and mother's empathy and resilience perceived by university students, emotional clarity and self-compassion were sequentially double mediated to affect resilience.
Conclusions This study confirmed the necessity of preparing university students' counseling and educational programs through the factors that influence resilience.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of Korean EFL college learners toward online learning based on their level of satisfaction as well as their experiences of online learning.
Methods A total of 111 college students who enrolled in online general English course were asked to complete a survey including 22 closed- and open-ended questions. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted using the IBM SPSS statistical package to examine learners' satisfaction with online classes. Regarding responses of participants’ experiences on online learning, all the narrative data was examined and divided into themes that emerged in the data.
Results The findings showed that learners were generally satisfied with online learning and in particular, they were highly satisfied with pre-recorded video lectures than synchronous classes or combined classes. In addition, the level of satisfaction on ‘teacher-centered lectures’ was high, and those of ‘cooperative learning’ and ‘peer feedback activities’ were relatively low. Furthermore, students recognized accessibility, flexibility, and the possibility of repetitive learning as advantages of online learning while perceiving technical problems, communication with others, and lack of immediate feedback as disadvantages of online learning.
Conclusions Based on the findings, discussion and suggestions on effective teaching methods and activities for online classes were presented.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of a wireless sensor mesh network, for monitoring temperature and humidity in horticultural products when transported in truck galleys. For this purpose a software solution was proposed using ESP8266 devices powered by batteries. The mesh network was managed by the painlessMesh library. The proposed solution aims to minimize the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. The validation of the solution was performed in an area simulating a galley of a truck, where five sensor nodes and a root node were distributed. The tests were developed considering four different models involving variations in messages delivery confirmation, number of attempts until successful delivery and duty cycle duration of the nodes. The performance evaluation of the solution aimed to determine, connectivity rate, sending rate after connection and delivery rates of the first and second attempts. The results obtained show that the message delivery confirmation does not bring added value to the solution, contributing only to increase energy consumption. The use of synchronous duty cycles also showed worse results than the asynchronous use. These results allow the creation of a knowledge base for the use of this solution in a real context.
COVID-19 Detection Using Forced Cough Sounds and Medical Information

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic in March 2020. Through a lot of cooperation and the effort of scientists, several vaccines have been created. However, there is no guarantee that the virus will shortly disappear, even if a large part of the population is vaccinated. Therefore, non-invasive methods, with low cost and real-time results, are important to detect infected individuals and enable earlier adequate treatment, in addition to preventing the spread of the virus. An alternative is using forced cough sounds and medical information to distinguish a healthy person from those infected with COVID-19 via artificial intelligence. An additional challenge is the unbalancing of these data, as there are more samples of healthy individuals than contaminated ones. We propose here a Deep Neural Network model to classify people as healthy or sick concerning COVID-19. We used here a model composed by an Convolutional Neural Network and two other Neural Networks with two full-connected layers, each one trained with different data from the same individual. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we combined two datasets from the literature: COUGHVID and Coswara. That dataset contains clinical information regarding previous respiratory conditions, symptoms (fever or muscle pain), and a cough record. The results show that our model is simpler (with fewer parameters) than those from the literature and generalizes better the prediction of infected individuals. The proposal presents an average Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) equal to 0.885 with a confidence interval (0.881 - 0.888), while the literature reports 0.771 with (0.752 - 0.783).

This study focuses on the extent of the influence of the level of legal awareness in society of the corruption problem, because of the importance of finding the cause of corruption persistence in Riau, Indonesia. By mapping the knowledge and understanding of the community, this research can identify what preventive steps need to be taken by local and central governments as well as law enforcement officials to prevent corruption (Marzuki et al., 2022; Arifin et al., 2015). This is an applied research, where the sample data are taken from three districts in Riau Province, Indonesia. Hopefully, in the future, the government and law enforcement will be able to identify concrete steps so that they can suppress the occurrence of corruption in Riau Province. The results of the study conclude that the people of Riau are quite tolerant of understanding corruption because of differences in views about disgraceful values in society if it has anything to do with non-corruption. The model of eradicating corruption in the community must be improved by increasing public understanding of corruption and improving the administrative system of the regional and central governments
