COVID-19 and Spectrum of Vestibular Dysfunctions: A Case Report
Authors: Kamarudin Intan Kartika
Published: January 2023

COVID-19 infection had shown to affect multiple systems. A positive COVID-19 case with multiple vestibular problems, its management and a review of the literature were reported. A 63-year-old lady who was a Category 5 COVID-19 infection patient, complicated by mild frontal stroke, left isolated mononeuropathy causing foot drop, had persistent dizziness lasting hours to days in the first month after being extubated. She underwent vestibular rehabilitation which did not resolve her vertigo. Upon presentation to the vestibular clinic at 3-months post-extubation, she complained of vertigo on changing positions lasting a few seconds with dizziness in between. Her Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was severe, with severe abnormal Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21). Vestibular assessments showed oculomotor abnormalities with positive left posterior Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) on Dixhallpike test. During Epley maneuver, there was canal conversion to the anterior canal which was resolved with a deep head hanging maneuver. The canal repositioning maneuver was done in serial, and her vertigo reduced tremendously. Her Video Head Impulse Test showed abnormalities in all semicircular canals bilaterally, rotatory chair showed lateral vestibular weakness and videonystagmography showed abnormal smooth pursuit, saccade and optokinetic suggesting central lesion. Her cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential were normal reflecting normal saccular and utricular function. Tympanometry showed type A bilaterally with right mild and left mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging of the Internal Acoustic Meatus showed bilateral vascular loop with no cerebellopontine angle tumour. Upon review three months later, the patient was asymptomatic of vestibular complaint with normal DHI and DASS21 score. Her foot drop had also resolved.  Evidence in the literature showed up to 16.8% of COVID-19 patients reported vestibular symptoms. The mechanism of this vestibular neuritis is unclear but may be similar to the pathogenesis causing anosmia or vasculopathy. International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2023 Page: S26

Published: January 2023

Objectives: Medical graduates often express their unreadiness to work due to several factors. It is important for medical educators to take steps toward assisting house officers (HO) to become work ready. This study assessed the most daunting aspects of being a HO as perceived by medical graduates in a public Malaysian university.  Methods: This was part of a larger study entitled “Development of an Online Module for Medical Graduates’ Readiness to Work”. The first part of this study involves an online survey on medical graduates from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) from November 2020 to January 2022. The survey used was the “Confidence and Readiness to Work as a House Officer Questionnaire” that consists of 75 questions altogether. Two of the questions were on readiness to work, of which one asked “In my opinion, the most daunting aspect of being a HO is?” There were 8 choices: (i) Physical demand: difficulty in maintaining patience; (ii) Physical demand: difficulty in maintaining clinical judgement; (iii) Confronting the seniors; (iv) Handling patients with responsibilities (including communication) (v) Competence required in knowledge and judgement; (vi) Competence required in practical skills; (vii) Time management; (viii) Having to adjust to different routines in work and life. Ethics was granted from the Ethics Committee for Research Involving Human Subjects UPM (JKEUPM-2020-341).   Results: One hundred and fifty-nine medical graduates completed the questionnaire. They were mostly female (69.2%), single (99.4%), Muslim (56.6%) and Malay (54.7%). The most daunting aspects were “Competence required in knowledge and judgement” (36.5%), followed by “Handling patients with responsibilities (including communication) (17.6%) and “Physical demand: difficulty in maintaining clinical judgement” (15.7%).  Conclusion: More than one third of the respondents selected “competence in knowledge and judgement” as the most daunting aspect of becoming HO. Future research should further investigate these factors.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2023 Page: S27
Sinonasal Lymphoma: A Rare Pathology Presenting with Common Post-Influenza Symptoms
Authors: Sobani Muhamad Ariff , Mohamad Fuzi Noor Shahira , Kamarudin Intan Kartika , Rahim Norazila Abdul , Nik Hussin Nik Mohd Hazleigh
Published: January 2023

Sinonasal malignancies are uncommon and only account for 3% of head and neck cancers. Despite diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) being the most common type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma occurring at various extranodal sites, its occurrence as a sinonasal tumor is exceedingly rare. Early detection and treatment of sinonasal lymphoma, have favourable outcomes with improvements in the 2-year and 5-year survival rates.  We are reporting a case of primary sinonasal DLBCL in a 63-year-old lady who initially presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis, both common symptoms in patients who have had a recent Influenza A infection. However, due to the unilaterality and progressive nature of her nasal obstruction, she warranted a specialist otorhinolaryngology assessment. Naso endoscopy revealed a unilateral nasal mass extending from the right middle meatus to the nasal floor and was friable with contact bleeding. These clinical findings are similarly seen in most of the various types of sinonasal malignancies, and diagnosis can be challenging. Pathologists rely upon immunohistochemical staining profiles to differentiate this highly heterogeneous group of malignancies. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of sinonasal lymphoma. The treatment of this rare pathological entity is discussed. International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2023 Page: S28

Students’ Trust and Their Educational Trajectory after Graduation
Authors: Kuznetsov I. S.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the role of students’ trust in shaping their educational trajectory after graduation. In particular, the question is how students’ trust in the actors of higher education (peers, teachers and university management) is related to their intention to continue their education in the specialty received after graduating from a bachelor’s or specialist’s degree. The nature of trust refers not only to the psychological characteristics of a person, but also finds its roots in social relations. When studying educational trajectories this hallmark of trust makes it possible to shift the focus from socio-economic, institutional, gender, and psychological factors that are regularly in the field of researchers’ attention to relational ones, which appear relatively rarely in their field of interest. The work uses data from a sociological survey of students of Russian universities. The results obtained are that students’ trust in university management, in contrast to their trust in other actors, is the most significant indicator that they will continue their education in their specialty after graduation. Students’ trust in peers and teachers are less stable factors. In addition, the addressee of trust, rather than the radius, is more important for students to decide whether to continue their education in their specialty after graduation.

The obtained data are compared with the data of a number of associative dictionaries of the Russian language, which makes it possible to trace the change in these associations over a number of years and create a linguistic portrait of a modern Russian student, get an idea about his image of the world as a whole, his attitude to learning and positioning himself in the future in the light of distance learning experience. The authors also explore the changes in individual and mass consciousness with regard to the study of a foreign language. The article was prepared based on the materials of a two-stage sociological survey among students of RTU MIREA, Moscow (n = 288), who participated voluntarily and anonymously. Their answers created a generalized associative portrait of a Russian student, typical for Moscow. The results obtained can serve as an addition to associative dictionaries.

Due to the growing concerns related to the psychological well-being of students and teachers during a long and intensive online training, it becomes necessary for teachers, psychologists, practitioners to take measures to prevent threats to online communication and identify personal resources of psychological security in the online environment.The purpose of the study was to identify the communicative difficulties of long-term online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the personal resources of students and teachers that contribute to ensuring their psychological safety.The study was conducted in February-March 2022. The study sample included 132 students and 40 teachers of the Faculty of Psychology of the Russian State Social University (Moscow). The following techniques were used: “The test of hardiness” (S. Muddy, in the Russian-language adaptation of E.N. Osin, E.I. Rasskazova), “The scale of subjective well-being” (A. Perrudet-Badoux, G.A. Mendelssohn, J. Chiche, in the Russian-language adaptation of M.V. Sokolova), “Methodology for assessing the level of sociability” (V.F. Ryakhovsky), questionnaires “Difficulties of online communication” for students and teachers. The empirical data obtained were interpreted and processed using qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, including: descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, Spearman correlation analysis. The study showed that during the long-term distance learning, students and teachers experienced significant difficulties in online educational communication, had low levels of subjective well-being, resilience and sociability. These personal qualities are systemic in nature, interrelated and can act as resources to ensure the psychological safety of subjects of education, prevention or coping with difficulties of online communication and hybrid forms of learning.The data obtained make it necessary for teachers to create psychodidactic conditions for a safe online educational environment in which students will be involved as subjects of education, will be able to freely share their opinions and not be afraid to make a mistake, will feel belonging to a group and protected from verbal aggression.
Alumni Capital: University Alumni Relations strategy

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to describe the strategies of interaction with alumni and suggest directions for their inclusion in the managerial arsenal of the central administration of the university. The Far Eastern Federal University, relatively recently created on the basis of four independent universities, three of which were strongly industry-oriented, provides rich material for research on strategies of interaction with alumni that have developed in its various structural divisions. At the same time, most of these strategies are not initiated by the central administration, and the biggest part of them even is out of its view. Strategies for interaction with alumni arise as forms of reproduction, increment and conversion of the social capital of alumni, leaders of the academic community and several departments of the university. The university appears to researchers as a kind of “exchange office”, in which there is a constant movement of different types of capital, the main of which is social and its subspecies – alumni capital.

Published: January 2023

For several decades in the field of data mining in education (EDM), predictive learning has remained one of the most popular and internationally discussed research topics. Specifically, data mining is used to predict educational outcomes such as academic performance, retention, success, satisfaction, achievement and dropout rates. In the management practice of higher education institutions, on the basis of an operational forecast, measures are developed and implemented to support those students who fall into the risk group.Our study is aimed at substantiating a model for predicting the early departure of students using an artificial neural network and analyzing predictors that increase the accuracy of predicting successful graduation from a Russian university. This work will expand the international practice of comparative research in higher education.The paper confirms the already existing hypotheses about the influence of a number of factors on the prediction of academic performance and suggests the need to test their universality or specificity in a particular institution of higher education. We also proved that an artificial neural network model with a certain set of attributes can be applied in the context of a single higher education institution, regardless of specialization. To determine the potential risk group of students, a binary classification prediction model is used. The overall prediction accuracy of a neural network with combined data reaches 88%. For this neural network model, the basic predictors that affect the accuracy of the forecast are the cumulative average level of achievement (CGPA) and the year of admission to the university.

Academic debt can cause a significant damage to the Russian economics and the higher education system in the medium term (on the horizon of 5–10 years). The purpose of the study is to identify the key problems based on the results of a comprehensive empirical analysis of the situation of the formation of massive academic debt (using the example of the “Business Informatics” direction at a Russian university) and to substantiate ways to improve the activities of universities in order to overcome them and reduce students’ academic dept. Research methods are general scientific (deduction, induction, generalization, comparative analysis, etc.), as well as special ones (correlation and regression, statistical, sociological surveys, etc.). Analytics and visualization of quantitative data were carried out using MS PowerBI software. Research results. It was revealed that: a) high incoming scores do not guarantee trouble-free education at the university; b) students with low scores (but not less than 160–170) are also able to master quite complicated university programs; c) the presence of academic debts does not depend on the type of disciplines studied (economics / information technology). The number of student dropouts in the studied sample (up to 50% of those who entered with a non-linear dependence on the total USE scores) testifies to the presence of reasons that are not related to the incoming educational potential of students. The results of the study made it possible to structure them into three groups: insufficient motivation, self-organization problems, and “incomplete maturation”. Five groups of students have been identified with an increased risk of accumulating academic debt. The article substantiates the use of indirect educational influence on the students through a special mobile application.
