Idiopathic Chronic Fetomaternal Haemorrhage Resulting in Hydrops – A Case Report
Authors: Lau M S K , Tan J V K , Tan T Y T , Gomez J M , Yeo G S H
Published: April 2024

Introduction: We report a case of idiopathic chronic fetomaternal haemorrhage (FMH) that developed in the late trimester.

Clinical Presentation: The patient presented with decreased fetal movement at 38 weeks gestation. Antenatal follow-up was uneventful with normal serial ultrasound performed at 22 and 35 weeks. Prior to delivery, the cardiotocography (CTG) was abnormal with decreased baseline variability and late deceleration. Emergency lower segment caesarean section was performed. Upon delivery, a hydropic neonate with a haemoglobin level of 3.9 g/dL was noted. The Kleihauer-Betke test was positive, confirming FMH.

Outcome: The neonate later developed intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and spastic cerebral palsy on follow-up.

Discussion: It is possible for FMH to occur late at the third trimester leading to detrimental effect. The fact that FMH can occur without antecedent risk factors underscores the importance of further research, and a high index of suspicion.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: We present a case series of pre-viable severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Clinical Picture: In year 2000, there were 16,688 deliveries in KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Four cases that presented before 24 weeks gestation satisfied the sonographic criteria for severe TTTS: same-sex fetuses, absence of twin peak sign, thin intertwin membrane, polyhydramnios associated with large bladder in recipient twin, and oligohydramnios and small or absent bladder in donor twin.

Treatment: Amnioreduction, septostomy and termination of pregnancy were offered.
Outcome: In 1 case abortion was chosen. The follow-up was at least 18 months postnatal. There was 1 intrauterine death, 2 with severe neurological handicap and 3 with normal outcome.

Conclusion: Pre-viable severe TTTS is associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates and should be diagnosed promptly and managed in a tertiary fetal medicine unit with multi-disciplinary input.
Public Disclosure of Healthcare Performance Information and Its Application to the Singapore Context
Authors: Loh Y H
Published: April 2024

The increasing worldwide trend towards publicly and actively disclosing healthcare provider performance information requires that healthcare professionals in Singapore understand the relevant issues and implications. The current evidence suggests that there needs to be caution in any related move here in Singapore, since the benefits have not been entirely established and the associated problems not inconsequential. This article identifies public accountability and the commercial need to demonstrate value as possibly the main drivers for local public disclosure. It concludes that a proper needs analysis and true stakeholder involvement are necessary in contemplating such an initiative locally.

Published: April 2024

Objective: We assessed the psychometric properties of a Singaporean Chinese version of the EQ-5D, a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument.

Materials and Methods: Consecutive outpatients with rheumatic diseases seen for routine follow-up consultations at the National University Hospital, Singapore were interviewed twice within 2 weeks using a standardised questionnaire containing the EQ-5D, the Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), the Learned Helplessness Subscale, a pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and assessing demographic and psychosocial characteristics. To assess the validity of the EQ-5D, 13 hypotheses relating the EQ-5D self-classifier (5 dimensions) or visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) to SF-36 scores or other variables were examined using the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis or Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Test-retest reliability was assessed using Cohen’s kappa.

Results: Forty-eight subjects were studied (osteoarthritis: 16; rheumatoid arthritis: 22; systemic lupus erythematosus: 8; spondyloarthropathy: 2; female: 93.8%; mean age: 56.4 years). Seven of 13 a-priori hypotheses relating EQ-5D to external variables were fulfiled, supporting the validity of the EQ-5D. For example, subjects reporting moderate or extreme problems for EQ-5D dimensions generally had lower median SF-36 scores than those without such problems. Cohen’s kappa for test-retest reliability of the self-classifier ranged from 0.41 to 1.00 (n = 42; median interval: 7 days, interquartile range: 7 to 11 days).

Conclusions: The Singaporean Chinese EQ-5D self-classifier appears to be a valid measure of HRQoL in Singaporeans with rheumatic diseases; however, the reliability of the EQ-VAS requires further investigation. These data provide a basis for further studies of the Singaporean Chinese EQ-5D.

Published: April 2024

Objetivos: Determinar si las capacitaciones para prevenir la parasitosis en niños de colegios peruano fueron efectivas. El ser humano enfrenta diversas enfermedades causadas por diferentes agentes patógenos, una de ellas son las parasitosis, que a menudo pasan desapercibidos en países latinoamericanos. La prevalencia de parasitosis es alta, afectando a individuos, familias y comunidades. La falta de saneamiento y prácticas culturales contribuyen a su propagación siendo las poblaciones más vulnerables las poblaciones en pobreza, las personas inmunosuprimidas, adultos mayores y niños. En el Perú, la falta de educación ha aumentado la prevalencia de estas infecciones, lo que destaca la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones educativas, mediante talleres de sensibilización, para su prevención sobre todo en poblaciones escolares para concientizar sobre los riesgos de la enfermedad y a importancia de la higiene y la prevención de la parasitosis. Material y Métodos: Se seleccionaron 10 instituciones educativas de educación primaria en la provincia de Lima y se desarrollaron diferentes tipos de metodologías de aprendizaje de manera didáctica como show de títeres, teatros, sketches, juegos lúdicos además del uso de trípticos y banners en donde se describen las formas de transmisión de parasitosis más comunes en la población. Se aplicaron diversas preguntas a través de un cuestionario para verificar que la información haya sido asimilada. Los datos fueron evaluados con software estadístico SPSS versión 25. Resultados: Los datos indicaron que las respuestas obtenidas en el cuestionario son fiables y validan el correcto aprendizaje por parte de los niños. Conclusiones: Se puede concluir que nuestras capacitaciones fueron efectivas en prevenir la parasitosis en niños de las instituciones seleccionadas, aunque se requieren esfuerzos continuos y futuras investigaciones para abordar desafíos y mejorar la sostenibilidad. Destacamos la importancia de enfoques educativos y colaboración comunitaria para el éxito y desarrollo sostenible.

Authors: Solgorré Contreras Enrique Juan , Churango Valdez Javier Florentino , Loayza Peñafiel Keith Cindy
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: Determinar el resultado de la comparación de la dosis letal media (DL50) de  extractos etanólicos de 5 plantas de la costa  y sierra del Perú. Material y Métodos: Estudio básico de diseño El estudio será de tipo inductivo, experimental, transversal y prospectivo. El estudio será experimental, porque existirá influencia del investigador sobre las variables en estudio, por otro lado será un estudio trasversal, ya que indica que la recolección de datos se realizará en un solo periodo de tiempo y prospectivo ya que los datos serán recolectados posterior al planteamiento del estudio. Resultados: Al realizar las pruebas entre las diferentes concentraciones de los extractos y  al ser  sometidos a los nauplios, se ha determinado que las especies medicinales de la costa son mas tóxicos que las especies medicinales de la sierra, esto debido más que nada a dos factores importantes que considerar; el primero es que el hábitat natural es propicio para nuestras plantas en estudio es la zona andina y el segundo factor sería la influencia del medio ambiente de la costa y las actividades humanas que de alguna manera alteran las concentraciones de los principios activos. De esta manera se evidencia en los resultados la diferencia de las DL50 en estos dos grupos de especies medicinales. Conclusiones: El hábitat de las especies medicinales, influyen en la concentración de los principios activos y por lo tanto en la DL50.

PLAYGROUND: Performatividade da Imagem e do Espectador Moventes: Práticas Artísticas e Curatoriais em Campo (Palco) Aberto
Authors: Rito Ana
Published: April 2024

A partir da prática artística e curatorial, o presente ensaio desenha a sua estratégia investigativa: considerar diferentes noções de palco e de ecrã, elasticizando e definindo uma “zona de contacto” que se concretiza quer no espaço expositivo (museográfico ou galerístico) quer, mais especificamente, na experiência da vídeo-instalação. A aproximação de duas linguagens, a cinematográfica e a performativa (entre a “aparição” da imagem e a construção do objecto), instaura um novo paradigma do olhar que coloca em cena o corpo do espectador (agora) movente e activo na orientação do seu próprio processo perceptivo.

Este artigo discute as relações de escala entre alguns objetos cotidianos e o corpo humano através de um grupo de trabalhos de caráter escultórico e fotográfico. Objetos pequenos do cotidiano doméstico foram associados a miniaturas de mobiliários também domésticos que são conhecidos por serem proporcionais a escala humana. As imagens fotográficas dessas associações foram ampliadas para interagirem com o espaço de instalação possibilitando percepções ambíguas sobre tamanho e escala bem como as relações entre pessoas e coisas.
Tempos Refugiados do Real em Berna Reale e Ola Pehrson
Authors: Salvador Francimara
Published: April 2024

O seguinte ensaio desenvolve-se a partir de uma fundamentação do que é real, em contraponto a uma categorização sobre ficção para culminar na análise de uma video-instalação de Ola Pehrson e de uma performance de Berna Reale. A articulação entre arte, realidade, ficção e as lacunas entre esses é objeto dessa escrita, que recorre sem categorização de importância e de cronologia, a pensamentos filosóficos, acontecimentos da história mundial e brasileira cirundantes às obras analisadas. Os fundamentos teóricos são baseados em pensamentos de Jean-Marie Schaeffer, Hal Foster, Jacques Rancière e outros.

Conexões e Interações do Processo de Criação no Ensino de Design do Produto: Modos de Desenvolvimento do Pensamento
Authors: Farias Marcelo
Published: April 2024

O processo de desenvolvimento e criação dos objetos ou produtos industriais ocorre por meio do projeto de design. Esse método define os estágios e as atividades do percurso, orienta as manobras e ações do pensamento, bem como estabelece as variáveis e condições do seu desenvolvimento. Assim, o design pode ser entendido como um campo de conhecimento que tem lógica de criação própria, combinando formas de raciocínio – dedução, indução, abdução, hipótese, inferência etc. – que visam à solução de problemas práticos, produção de significados e efeitos de sentido a um grupo de usuários. Porém, é no contexto da formação acadêmica que o designer desenvolve esse modo de pensar, entrelaçando teorias, conceitos e práticas. Diante desse tema, este artigo propõe discutir, no âmbito do ensino de design do produto, as conexões e interações, adequações e confrontos das atividades de projeto do aluno em suas estratégias processuais criativas em rede, a partir dos documentos do processo de criação, observados e analisados sob a perspectiva da crítica de processo.

Published: April 2024

A câmera se aproxima e pivota suavemente no espaço, fazendo uma varredura completa da estátua. O movimento nos dá oportunidade de reconhecer a cidade ao redor, mas não é como se não soubéssemos desde o primeiro frame onde estamos – como se não tivéssemos visto, tantas vezes, aquele mesmo emparelhamento entre figura e fundo. O vídeo, nesse sentido, não serve tanto para nos apresentar um cenário desconhecido quanto para proclamar a sua exuberância. A mesma coreografia se repete em outros trechos avulsos, com variações mínimas no ângulo de abordagem, nas condições atmosféricas ou na hora de gravação. Eventualmente, a câmera não conclui a sua volta. Eventualmente, ela passa sobre os ombros do monumento e vai repousar num tableau da baía de Guanabara, materializando um ponto-de-vista sobrehumano para o qual a cidade existe eternamente como panorama.

Jeff Wall: o Inconsciente Fotográfico
Authors: Libardi Carlos Alexandre de Mello
Published: April 2024

O texto busca, por meio de uma chave interpretativa que utiliza fundamentos da teoria da arte e da psicanálise, estabelecer relações entre o significante fotográfico de Jeff Wall e a cena onírica. Na fotografia encenada do artista, temos a simulação do modelo psicanalítico no qual o fotógrafo é o inconsciente, a fotografia (como meio) é o paciente, a foto é o sonho e o espectador, o analista. Nessa solicitação, cabe ao analista ideal dar o “ponto de estofo”, encontrar sentido na metáfora onírica. A fotografia como metáfora encobre um desejo persistente de questionar o reducionismo ontológico e formalista de genealogia fotojornalística como discurso hegemônico da fotografia.

Deontological Perspective of Understanding and Combating Examination Malpractice in Nigeria
Authors: Taiwo EDUN , Marius OLORUNMOTA Olu
Published: April 2024

In Nigeria, examination malpractice has become inimical to educational development. It is a social evil that can ruin the society and debar its growth and development. It has attained such a proportion that the actualisation of the goals of education in Nigeria is almost becoming impossible. New methods are being devised by its perpetrators, worsening the situation and frustrating the attempt to combat the syndrome. Examination malpractice involves almost all stakeholders in education in Nigeria. This paper aimed at investigating the extent of the deontological approach in understanding and combating examination malpractice in Nigeria. The paper employed the descriptive, analytical and prescriptive methods of philosophical research in education to try to understand and combat the menace. It was shown in the paper that examination malpractice has permeated the Nigerian educational system with debilitating consequences for the system and the society at large. The deontological perspective perceived examination malpractice in Nigeria as a practice which does not conform to the moral standards, rules and regulations guiding the administration of tests and examinations and therefore did not help the individuals and Nigeria. It was concluded in the paper that from the perspective of deontology, examination malpractice is harmful to the society, and that the perspective should be applied in combating the menace in Nigeria. It was recommended, that parents should give sound training to their children with regard to appropriate examination conduct while the school system should deploy modern technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, to reduce examination malpractice to the barest minimum.

Connected Learning for STEM (CL4STEM) is an innovative teacher capacity-building project piloted in Nigeria. It aimed at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers’ capacity building to foster higher-order thinking with inclusion and equity (HOTIE) in their classroom practices. It adopted a model of mobile-based communities of practice (CoP) as one of the strategies for CL4STEM teacher professional development. Hence, this study investigated the impact of the CL4STEM project online CoP on science and mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and professional practice for achieving HOTIE in their classrooms. The study adopted a survey research design involving documentary content analysis and a one-group pre-test-posttest design to collect qualitative and quantitative data to achieve the objectives of the research. The population of the study was all science; biology, chemistry, and physics teachers in senior secondary schools in selected states in Northern Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to select one newly qualified biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics teacher per subject area from twenty sample schools in the population, thus a target sample size of 80 science and mathematics teachers, 20 each per subject. Content analysis of the module reports and evaluation of lesson plans were used to obtain qualitative data on the science and mathematics teachers’ CoP practices and professional learning. The Pre-test and post-test on the teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge were the instruments for quantitative data collection. The instruments were validated by the project consultant and science and mathematics education experts. Four research objectives and four corresponding research questions guided the study. Descriptive statistics, descriptive content analysis, and descriptive narrative were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that online CoP has remarkably impacted teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content knowledge and professional development.

Impact of Social Media Engagement on Perceptions of Social Capital
Authors: Smith Charles
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to explore the impact of social media engagement on perceptions of social capital.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories.

THE EFFECT OF PUSH & PULL FACTORS ON HALAL TOURISM ON THE MOTIVATION OF MALAYSIAN TOURIST TO INDONESIA USING RELIGIOSITY AS A MODELING VARIABLE
Authors: Hidayat Alvin Reinanda
Published: April 2024

Based on the inbound country in the last five years, Timor Leste is in the top position for tourists entering Indonesia. Meanwhile, Malaysia, the neighboring country with the largest number of Muslims, occupies the second position. This condition is not necessarily due to Indonesia's potential to attract Muslims as a Halal Tourism destination. Aligned with the condition, based on BPS data & the Ministry of Tourism, in 2019 there were more than 15 million tourists coming to Indonesia, 22% of whom were Muslims. This number is less than Muslim tourists who come to neighboring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey. Therefore, in this study will be examined regarding Motivation and Intentions to Travel, especially for prospective Malaysian tourists to Indonesia.
The independent variables in this study are Pull Factor Motivation (X1), Push Factor Motivation (X2) and Religiosity (X3). Religiosity (X3) is also a moderating variable in its effect on the motivation of Malaysian tourists to Indonesia. The dependent variable in this study is the Motivation of Malaysian Tourists (Y), which can be measured by various dimensions in the instrument of Indonesia as a tourist destination.
The research results show that the push and pull factor do not have a direct influence on the motivation of Malaysian tourists but has an indirect effect on religiosity as a moderate variable. The religiosity variable with indicators of religious beliefs, principles and activities directly influences the motivation of Malaysian tourists to Indonesia.
Based on the research result, religiosity influences the motivation of Malaysian tourists to come to Indonesia. For this reason, the Government needs to consider aspects of religiosity in the promotion strategy and services for foreign tourists, especially Malaysian tourists.
