Authors: - Kadek Adi Sudarmika , - Ni Luh Eka Sriayu Wulandari
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Loop diuretics are currently the first-choice treatment for acutely decompensated HF therapy and for maintaining euvolemia, but the addition of other diuretic agents, such as the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide might be effective for patients with refractory heart failure.
Case: A 35-year-old woman referred from a private hospital came to the emergency unit at Sanjiwani Regional Hospital with complaints of shortness of breath and palpitations, and both legs were swollen. The patient has risk factors for hyperthyroidism and a family history of coronary heart disease. On physical examination, he was conscious of compost mentis with blood pressure 85/50 mmHg, heart rate 79 times/minute, respiratory rate 45 times/minute with saturation 93%, rales (+), oedema in both legs, cold acral; laboratory examination showed TsHs 0.22 uIU/ml, FT4 26.29 pmol/L.
Discussion: Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces proximal tubular sodium reabsorption and may improve diuretic efficiency when added to loop diuretics, thereby potentially facilitating decongestion, was not associated with an increased incidence of adverse events, and associated with a shorter duration of hospital stay.
Conclusion: Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that may improve diuretic efficiency when added to loop diuretics.
A Conceptual Framework for Measuring Organizational Performance through Knowledge Management and Training
Authors: - Steffy Ann Johny
Published: February 2024

This paper proposes a comprehensive conceptual framework designed to evaluate organizational performance by integrating knowledge management (KM) strategies and training initiatives. In contemporary business environments, where knowledge serves as a primary asset, organizations increasingly recognize the critical role of effective knowledge management and training programs in enhancing performance. However, existing frameworks often lack holistic approaches that consider the interplay between these two vital components. Drawing upon theoretical insights from organizational theory, human resource management, and knowledge management literature, this framework synthesizes key dimensions and indicators essential for assessing organizational performance. The proposed framework incorporates elements such as knowledge creation, acquisition, dissemination, utilization, and retention, intertwined with tailored training interventions aimed at enhancing employee competencies and capabilities. By delineating these interconnected dimensions, the framework offers a systematic approach for organizations to evaluate the efficacy of their knowledge management and training initiatives in driving organizational performance. Furthermore, the framework provides a basis for future empirical research and practical applications in diverse organizational contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics between knowledge management, training, and organizational performance.

Authors: - VEERENDRA KUMAR , - PRAMOD KUMAR
Published: February 2024

The financial performance and economic stability of any listed company in India will be measured using various financial and accounting methods. The premise of such matters starts with IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) being issued at the right time and suitable period. Before launching any IPO, a particular company will study a lot of macro and micro economic factors of the concerned region and their impact on IPO success rate. An IPO is a giant leap for a company as it gives access to raising colossal capital. This enhances the ability of a company to expand exponentially. This paper attempted to study several macroeconomic factors that impact Uttar Pradesh's state in the Agra division districts (Agra, Firozabad, Mathura, and Mainpuri) and the investor purchase behavior of different IPOs. Additionally, the research examines four factors namely GDP, Unemployment, Inflation, and Interest rates that are comparatively more significant in a long-run relation. This research found that GDP, inflation rate, and interest rate substantially impact IPO purchase decisions. However, the rate of unemployment has been discovered to have no significant effect on investors' IPO purchase decisions.

Authors: - Aaquib Zaman , - Himanshu Nautiyal
Published: February 2024

Medical image denoising is very important and challenging area in the field of image processing. MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) is very popular and most effective imaging technique. During the acquisition, MR images affected by random noise can be modeled as Gaussian or Rician distribution. In last few decades, so many denoising techniques were proposed but there are some limitations with the algorithms, because image edges and fine details are need to preserve. So there is need of compromise between de-noising quality and edge preservation to use images for real time application. Computation time is also very important parameter to implement the algorithms. In this paper, we have done an overview of different denoising algorithm. It observes that NLM (Non-Local Means) filter is much better than other existing state of art methods. Here study is done for enhancement of NLM to improve the performance. Results of different algorithms show that PCA (Principal Component Analysis) based algorithm with NLM performs much better in both quantitative and qualitative manner.

Evaluation De La Production De L’écrit En FLE Au Cycle Secondaire Qualifiant : éTat Des Lieux, Représentations Et Pratiques Enseignantes
Authors: - Mohammed ELALAOUY ELMHAMDY
Published: February 2024

Évaluer la compétence de la production de l’écrit en classe FLE implique la remise en question du processus didactique de la tâche dédiée à l’écriture et le décorticage de la notion de compétence scripturale. Cette dernière requiert la mobilisation de savoirs procéduro- linguistiques et didactiques : l’acculturation à l’écrit passe par l’entrainement à la maîtrise des différentes composantes de la langue et des techniques de composition garantes de l’amélioration de la relation à l’écrit. Dans le contexte scolaire plurilingue, l’évaluation de l’écrit joue un rôle fondamental dans ce processus d’acquisition des codes scripturaux et de leur réinvestissement dans des situations inédites ; d’où l’intérêt d’interroger les modalités évaluatives dans le but de les optimiser, voire les standardiser.
À cet effet, le présent article s’appuie sur une enquête réalisée par questionnaires auprès de 75 enseignants exerçant au cycle secondaire qualifiant au titre de l’année 2022/2023. L’analyse des données recueillies est de type exploratoire. Elle tente de rendre compte et de l’état des lieux des pratiques évaluatives des compétences scripturales et des représentations enseignantes dans le domaine spécifique de l’écriture au cycle secondaire qualifiant que représente le lycée marocain.
En effet, le corpus, constitué des réponses des enseignants et des documents-source entre autres les copies d’examens des candidats au cycle du baccalauréat, a permis que soit dressé un état des lieux de la didactique de l’écrit au CSQ. Il a été élucidé des caractéristiques particulières des pratiques enseignantes en matière d’évaluation de l’écrit. Aussi cette démarche a-t-elle permis, outre les modes d’évaluation de la compétence scripturale, d’interroger la planification didactique, les formes de discours écrit privilégiées, les lacunes systémiques et les bonnes pratiques à pérenniser. Cela étant dit, cette étude contribue à la mise en commun des acquis didactiques pour l’élaboration d’un référentiel permettant d’aborder systématiquement l’évaluation de l’écrit, en FLE, dans un contexte multilingue.

The pursuit of quality learning experiences is vital to fostering individual growth, societal progress, and global competitiveness. This paper assessed the role of instructional supervision  in the delivery of quality education. This study was conducted in 5 selected secondary schools in Kahama, Tanzania. A mixed research approach and a convergent parallel design were used. One hundred and fifty seven (157) respondents composed of 142 teachers, 5 heads of schools, 5 school board members, 4 ward educational officers and 1 district educational officer were involved. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. Quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS, version 21) while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings indicate that when instructional supervision is conducted appropriately it significantly contributes to teacher professional growth which in turn contributes to optimizing the quality of education. Additionally, the study found maximum cooperation between supervisors and supervisees to be paramount in instructional supervision. The findings also indicated that for instructional supervision to be effective, school leaders are to promote a culture of academic excellence, by ensuring conducive teaching and learning environment. Moreover, classroom visits should be regarded as supporting and encouraging teachers rather than a faulty finding strategy. Hence, this study is a wakeup call to all those involved in instructional supervision to strive towards promoting a positive mindset towards instructional supervision and to give it the priority it deserves to ensure the achievement of quality education

In casualty, Casualty Medical Officers come across a maximum number of Medico-legal cases. Any case where the doctor feels that it should be investigated by the Police or a Magistrate is considered as Medico legal case. As it is a Medico legal case, there will be an inquiry by the investigating officer and if needed an Investigating officer may require a report of that case to produce to the court. The doctor who has issued report can be called to the court to give the evidence regarding that case. Identifying the pattern of injuries, types of cases, age-wise distribution, and sex distribution of Medico-legal cases reported to the casualty department of the hospital will help administrators, social workers, NGO’s, and policymakers to successfully manage and prevent such cases by devising necessary policies. A retrospective study was conducted at Employee State Insurance Corporation Medical College, Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India. All the reported cases to casualty between April 2022 and March 2023 at ESIC Medical College, Kalaburagi were analyzed. Total of 452 Medico-legal cases were analyzed which were attended in casualty in span of one year out of total 11288 Casualty cases. In that 344 were male and 108 female patients. In the present study, the maximum MLCs were Road Traffic Accidents, followed by assault, poisoning and others.

Background/Objectives: To investigate the effect of cognitive stimulation task for community living elderly people with MCI on cognitive function and activity participation.Method/Statistical Analysis: Subjects were 15 community-dwelling elderly persons. The cognitive behavior therapy included the warming up, cognitive stimulation program, cognitive activity program, and cooling down. MMSE-DS to evaluate the cognitive state, and K-ACS to evaluate the activity participation level were conducted with all subjects before and after the intervention in the same method. All statistical analysis method were performed using SPSS version 21.Findings: Among all participants, men were 4(26.67%) and women were 11(73.33%). significant difference of cognitive state was found between the pre and the post-test. A number of studies have shown that cognitive stimulation program can help maintain opposite to cognitive decline. K-ACS was significant differences between leisure (p=0.034) and social activities(p=0.028). The mean instrumental activities score increased, but this was not significant. This is similar to the result of a study that meaningful activities through the intervention are an important factor on the life of elders.Improvements/Applications: This research provide useful information for designing efficient interventions and identifying their good influence for progress of community involvement. Future research should examine the effects of community activities on the social impact of the elderly.

Background/Objectives: College students have a potential for addiction of smartphone. This study was to ascertain the influence of perceived stress and motivation for using a smartphone on the smartphone addiction for them.Method/Statistical Analysis: The participants were 339 students who enrolled at S University in Korea. The smartphone addiction scale (15 items) developed by Kim et al., perceived stress scale (14 items) developed by Cohen et al. and the motivation scale (24 items) for using a smartphone developed by Kang were measured. SPSS/WIN 22.0 was used to analyze hierarchical multiple regression, Person correlation coefficients, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test and independent sample t-test.Findings: Gender (t=-4.15, p< .001), academic achievement (F=9.34, p< .001) and smartphone use time per day (F=6.56, p< .001) were significant differences in smartphone addiction. The smartphone addiction was a significant correlation with perceived stress (r=.366, p< .001), social interaction (r=0.119, p=.029), entertainment (r=0.330, p<.001) and passing time (r=0.226, p<.001) in motivation for using smartphone. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that perceived stress (?=0.284), entertainment (?=0.241) and passing time (?=0.158) in the motivation for using smartphone were identified as significant factors of smartphone addiction for college student, after adjusting for gender, academic achievement.Improvements/Applications: The prevention of smartphone addiction for college students requires not only diminishing perceived stress but also examining a motivation for using a smartphone and gender difference in using a smartphone.

Authors: Joohyun Lee1
Published: February 2024

Background/Objectives: This was a cross-sectional descriptive correlation study to understand the effect of clinical nurses’ emotional labor on burnout and job satisfaction. actors affecting nurses’ emotional labor, burnout, and job satisfaction were also investigated.Method/Statistical Analysis: Ninety clinical nurses from two general hospitals located in S city were participated. Emotional labor was measured by a scale which consists of 19 items with subcategories of diversification, frequency, intensity, expression, and internalization. Burnout was measured by a scale which consists of 21 items with physical burnout, emotional burnout, and psychological burnout categories. Job satisfaction was measured by a modified scale which consists of 25 items in the area of work related environment, benefits, personnel system, peer and senior relationship. All measurements had 5 point Likert scale. The higher the total score meant the higher emotional labor, burnout, or job satisfaction.Findings: Most of the participants aged less than 39 years and 61 participants (67.8%) were not married. Most of them graduated at least college level. The range of duration of work was various from less than 2 years to more than 10 years. Nurses’ age, marital status, religions, educational level, work unit, position, and employment status did not significantly affect nurses’ emotional labor, burnout, or job satisfaction. However, nurses in their 20s (68.20 ± 10.12 vs. 63.30 ± 8.51, t=2.392, p=.019), and in two to five years of current unit experience (70.18 ± 8.75 vs. 58.60 ± 6.39, t=3.968, p=.010), and 11 to 20 patients in their care (70.56 ± 10.09 vs. 63.68 ± 8.82, t=3.738, p=.027) showed significant high levels of burnout. Also nurses in their 20s (73.24 ± 10.96 vs.78.97 ± 10.77, t=-2.435, p=.017) and salaries less than 2.5 million won (70.42 ± 7.56 vs. 79.86 ± 12.10, t=5.552, p=.005) showed significantly lower levels of job satisfaction. Nurses’ emotional labor did not correlate with burnout or job satisfaction. However, burnout had negative relationship with job satisfaction with moderate intensity (r=-.487, p=<.001).Improvements/Applications: Continuous effort to improve hospital work environment including salary and nurse-to-patient ratio would beneficial to prevent nurses’ burnout and increase job satisfaction. Furthermore, special educational or continuing programs or strategies for young and less experienced nurses should be developed and implemented.

Published: February 2024

Forensic Odontology include evaluation of human bite mark which is a trace evidence for connecting theassailant and the victim of a crime. Evaluation of the morphology of bite mark and comparison with thedental pattern of the suspected person helped in providing a corroborative evidence in identification of thecriminal1. Most of the bite mark evaluated in Forensic practice does not reproduce all the characteristicsof the dental pattern of the suspected person as the complete dental arch is not reproduced on the injuryhowever in most of the cases the pattern of the anterior dental arches or their portion is impregnated on theinjury2. The study involved evaluation of all the injuries due to human bite over a period of nine years on thedead body brought for medicolegal autopsy and on the subjects involved in crime brought for examinationof wounds and certification of injuries. Evaluation of the bite mark and its correlation with the dentalcharacteristics of the suspect revealed that the evidence is corroborative and supportive. As the numberof physical characteristics for comparison and identification became more , it resulted in a better matchbetween the morphology of bite mark and the dental characteristics of the suspected person3. The more thenumber of imprint of teeth seen clearly on the skin the better was the chances of identifying the assailant,however the chances of other people having similar dental pattern cannot be excluded completely.
