Authors: Sharma Shweta , Thampy Parvathy , Kokane Arun M. , Kumar Umesh , Joshi Ankur
Published: February 2025

Background:

A person having multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) may have co-payments and deductibles rendered into the out-of-pocket and catastrophic expenditure. This study explores whether catastrophic expenditure is associated with income and place of residence amongst MDR-TB patients after adjusting covariables through propensity score matching. We further explore the origin, distribution, and dominant components of costs across the four strata created by income and place of residence.

Material and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted among MDR-TB patients registered in DTC Bhopal, MP, India, in calendar year 2017. Information on socio-demographic profile, various costs, and adapted coping strategy was collected through a structured instrument. Total expenditure of 20% or more of household income was considered as catastrophic cutoff. Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) was regressed on binary income category and place of residence as predictor for CHE after adjusting covariates through cohort balancing.

Results:

For income category, 74 observations (33 in non-CHE category with 41 CHE category participants) matched with each other. While for place of residence, 98 observations (40 in non-CHE category with 58 from CHE category) matched with each other. Being in low-income group had an incremental odds ratio of 8.57 (95% CI 2.73–33.77) for CHE while odds of incurring CHE were 10 times higher (OR = 10.51, 95% CI 2.24–128.37) in rural area. Nutritional supplements and ancillary medication shared the major proportion of CHE costs in all the strata.

Conclusions:

Income and geographical disparity in MDR may increase probability of catastrophic expenditure in MDR-TB.

Authors: Naik Dhara , Trivedi Niyati , Dosi Rupal
Published: February 2025

Background:

Ventilator-associated events (VAE) are associated with prolonged duration of hospital stays, increased health care costs, and overall high morbidity and mortality. As the clinical profile of the patient differs based on the health care settings, for optimum management of such cases, adequate surveillance studies are necessary to assess the burden of disease, the common risk factors associated, and the microbiology profile of such cases in the specific geological areas and healthcare facilities.

Materials and Methods:

In the present prospective observational study, the patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) for >48 h were followed up daily and their clinical progress was recorded. They were classified as per the Centers for Disease Control guidance document for surveillance of VAE. The Fisher’s exact test was used to find the association of various dichotomous variables. An unpaired t-test was used to test the association between the means for continuous variables. Univariate and multivariate (enter) logistic regression analysis was used to find the association between various independent variables and outcome of treatment.

Results:

The incidence density of possible VAP (PVAP) in the current study was 54.61 per 1000 ventilator days. The age of the patient and duration from admission to MV were the factors significantly associated with development of PVAP. Moreover, PVAP significantly prolonged the duration of hospitalization and total days of antimicrobial therapy compared to the non-VAE group. The total days from admission to MV was the independent variable found to have a significant association with high mortality in patients with PVAP.

Conclusion:

The study identifies key areas needing immediate attention including, the necessity to strengthen the resources to keep up with the high patient load and an urgent necessity of strengthening the infection prevention and control practices as well as antimicrobial stewardship practices in the hospitals.

This study explores the potential utilization of meat, scales, viscera, and bony structures of gibel carp (Carassius gibelio), an invasive and economically underutilized species from the Black Sea, as alternative lipid sources for human consumption and functional ingredients in animal feed. The nutritional composition analysis showed significant differences among tissues: the meat contained 14.98% protein and 1.43% lipids, while the viscera exhibited the highest lipid content (22.38%) but the lowest protein level (1.08%). The scales had the highest protein (21.31%) and ash (9.07%) contents, while the bony structures contained significant levels of protein (18.38%), lipids (2.59%), and ash (7.20%). Lipid oxidation parameters indicated that the viscera had the highest peroxide value (3.8 meq O₂/kg), whereas the scales had the lowest (2.47 meq O₂/kg). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and free fatty acid (FFA) values demonstrated better oxidative stability in meat and bony structures compared to the viscera. These findings demonstrate the potential of utilizing Gibel carp by-products as alternative raw materials for a variety of applications. This approach supports sustainability and the principles of the circular economy, providing an innovative way to turn an invasive species into valuable resources.

Published: February 2025

Fish bio-extracts (FBE) is fermented water from the decomposition of remaining dead fish by microorganisms of semi-anaerobic conditions derived from the Nile tilapia philosopher technique. There are few studies on dietary FBE for practical FBE utilization. Hence, the effect of FBE and feeding duration on growth performance, innate immunity, and disease resistance was investigated for red tilapia. Fish were divided into 5 groups with three replications. The control group was fed the basal commercial diet which was no FBE. The basal commercial diet was incorporated with FBE at 5 ml/kg feeding regimens were evaluated, including i) feeding every day, ii) feeding every other day, iii) feeding every week, and iv) every other week. After 8 weeks of the trial, red tilapia fed with FBE exhibited significantly (p<0.05) better overall parameters, including growth, feed utilization, and innate immunity, compared to the control group. Moreover, the addition of FBE into diets reduced fish mortality after S. agalactiae infection. The highest values were displayed in fish fed with FBE every day. Thus, the administration of FBE at least 5 mL/kg once a day can be used as a growth promoter and a practical disease prophylactic strategy for cultural management in red tilapia farming.

Caulerpa racemosa lives in waters with sand, coral and mud substrates, and is widely used by coastal communities as food. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers using Urea (NH2CONH2) and SP-36 (P2O5) with different concentration variations on the growth and morphology of C. racemosa. This research was conducted at the Brackish Water Aquaculture Fisheries Center (BPBAP) Takalar. C. racemosa was maintained in basin containers equipped with a water circulation system in each container. This research design uses a complete randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replicates. The treatment used were the following ratios of Urea and SP-36 fertilizer: A (100 : 0%), B (75 : 25%), C (50 : 50%), D (25 : 75%), and E (0 : 100%). The results indicate that the addition of nutrients to the closed cultivation medium using a combination of N and P fertilizers resulted in the highest growth rate of 2.2% per day in treatment C and the lowest growth rate of 1.64% per day in treatment E. While the stolon diameter and rachis length showed no significant differences, the distance between rachises in treatment B was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to other treatments. These data are useful for considering the optimal combination of urea and SP-36 fertilizers for the cultivation of C. racemosa.

Authors: Gustavsson Maria , Lundkvist Agneta Halvarsson , Thunqvist Daniel Persson
Published: February 2025

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a significant transformation, characterised by a green transition and rapid digitalisation. Technological advances have dominated Industry 4.0, whereas the transition to Industry 5.0 emphasises improving technology from a human-centric lens. This necessitates focusing on digital and green skills development to accelerate the green transition in industry. Within the context of Swedish higher vocational education (HVE), this paper aims to investigate HVE providers’ experiences of challenges in providing industry with the skills needed for green transition. Interviews were conducted with 22 representatives of HVE providers collaborating with industry. The analysis is based on a model for analysing overlapping transitioning systems for development of skills for the green transition in industry.
The findings indicate that there was an imbalance in pace between HVE and industry caused by various challenges at three transitional levels. First, at the individual level, there was an imbalance between students’, workers’, and employers’ perspectives on relevant training needs, skills, and engagement in the green transition.
Secondly, at the company–HVE provider level, companies needed to keep pace with the programmes and courses offered by the HVE providers and recognise that workers on the shop floor needed to train and learn digital and green skills. Thirdly, the HVE system as a whole was unable to attract and recruit enough students to technical and industrial programmes, whereas the industrial sector did not have sufficient ability to identify emerging jobs which require digital and green skills to accelerate the green transition in industry.
Keywords: Green transition, digital and green skills, higher vocational education, Industry 5.0
The Job Quality Side of Climate Change
Authors: Parent-Thirion Agnès , Cabrita Jorge
Published: February 2025

Climate change is having a profound and transformative impact on the way we live and work. These impacts are direct, through the great shifts in temperatures and weather patterns which are being growingly felt across the globe, and indirect, through the measures and policies that are being deployed in order to tackle it. The Council recommendation on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality confirm the endorsement of EU Member States towards “the imperatives of a just transition of the workforce and the creation of decent work and job quality”, which have been established in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. This idea motivated Eurofound in a recent report, “the Job quality side of climate change” to investigate how climate change impacts job quality through a literature review, the consultation of its European network of correspondents and some statistical analysis of the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey of 2021.
The article will first set the scene by describing job quality, and its main components, depicting the relationship between Green House Gas emissions (GHG) and the employment levels by sector of economic activity. The latter can suggest priorities for decarbonisation. Changes in jobs also occur as result of greening which is the process through which occupations adapt the content of their tasks to climate change with a significant impact on changes in the work performed and job quality in these occupations. It will then explore how job quality is expected to change due to climate change risks, and as a result of the greening of tasks and occupations. It will finally consider climate change as a possible driver to reinventing work, by changing the work processes involved in the current extraction, production, distribution and consumption systems which would also impact on the job quality of workers.

Rhinoplasty is a complex and versatile surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose for aesthetic and functional purposes. It employs diverse techniques, primarily categorized into open and closed approaches. Open rhinoplasty, characterized by a transcolumellar incision, allows superior visualization and precise modifications, making it suitable for complex cases and revisions but carries risks such as extended nasal tip edema and scarring. Closed rhinoplasty, devoid of external incisions, offers reduced recovery times and minimal visible scarring, albeit with limited access and visibility. Minimally invasive approaches, leveraging endoscopic visualization and piezoelectric instruments, are gaining traction for their ability to minimize tissue trauma and enhance recovery. Specific grafting techniques, such as lateral crural strut grafts and tongue-in-groove modifications, optimize structural support and nasal tip aesthetics while addressing demographic and ethnic variations. Despite advancements, rhinoplasty is associated with complications, including graft resorption, scarring, nasal obstruction, and residual deformities, underscoring the need for meticulous planning and patient-specific strategies. This review highlights the significance of tailored approaches in rhinoplasty to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes while minimizing complications.

Sin embargo, algunos datos indican que determinadas variables de los protocolos podrían afectar de manera negativa a la fase concéntrica del ejercicio.
Conclusiones: a pesar de tener estudios que demuestran el efecto de potenciación que produce el entrenamiento con sobrecarga excéntrica, se hace necesaria una mayor producción científica que analice el papel de las diferentes variables en los protocolos de entrenamiento con AEL.

Introducción y objetivo: El fútbol femenino se encuentra en constante crecimiento, por lo que los avances tecnológicos en los procesos de preparación son cada vez más frecuentes. Por eso, la investigación debe ser precisa e incluir más variables que permitan identificar la carga ideal para aplicar a cada deportista. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el comportamiento del FMP de un club de fútbol femenino profesional durante la competencia, según algunas variables contextuales.
Metodología: El estudio fue observacional y la muestra estuvo compuesta por un plantel de fútbol femenino profesional en Colombia. Se analizaron 20 partidos de la liga, que incluyeron todas las fases de competencia. El análisis que se hizo fue descriptivo de todas las variables cuantitativas, para calcular medidas de tendencia central (media) y dispersión (desviación estándar), permitiendo observar la distribución y variabilidad de los datos.
Resultados y conclusiones: Las jugadoras mostraron variabilidad en la duración de actividades según la posición y el contexto: en FMPDynamicHighDur la media fue de 0.1227 y en FMPRunningHighDur de 0.0458. Las volantes tuvieron mayores fluctuaciones en partidos de visitante, mientras que delanteras y defensas mostraron una tendencia más estable. Por ultimo, las volantes y defensas presentan mayor variabilidad en el desempeño como visitantes, destacando la importancia de adaptar el entrenamiento y la recuperación según posición y contexto local/visitante.

In this article we begin by exposing the methodological option, chosen on this occasion in the study of human affectivity; that is, the systemic one. Although,
as we said in our previous article, we do not refer to interpersonal relationships as a system or as interaction, we refer to the fact that the mechanisms
of the affective way of perceiving and conceiving the world can and should we contemplate as a system. That is to say, our methodology of systemic and
intrapersonal. Once we have established which systemic methodology we employ, we delve into the cyclical nature of the affective way of knowing, its
sequentially and the type of memory on which it is based.
Finally, we analyze the peculiarities of each of the stages of the affective cycle, its dysfunctionalities and possible ways to correct them. In other words, we
see affectivity from the point of view of basic psychology, not from that of social or clinical psychology; although we perceive that, with this approach, a
multitude of therapeutic or didactic possibilities open up, which will have to be developed.

Background: Proximal amputations of major limbs due to malignant tumors have become rare, but they are still
a valuable treatment option for palliation and, in some cases, can even be curative. The aim of this case report
was to analyze the outcome of interscapular-thoracic amputation in an elderly patient.
Case Report: Male patient, 85 years old, BMI of 1.77 kg/m², ASA III, with systemic arterial hypertension using
losartan 50 mg daily. Smoker and history of deep vein thrombosis. History of hand ulcers, evolving to ulceration
and bleeding. Squamous cell carcinoma biopsy. Indicated thoracic interscapular amputation (TIA) under regional
associated with multimodal general anesthesia. Interscalene and serratus anterior block with ropivacaine 0.5%
and use of US. Postoperative period in the ward without pain. Evolved during the three days without pain
complaints.
Conclusion: TIA in an 85-year-old patient, as a primary or palliative procedure, may be justified after a careful
holistic evaluation of the case. Interscalene brachial plexus block associated with the serratus anterior plane
with 0.5% ropivacaine and complemented with multimodal general anesthesia allowed shoulder disarticulation
with adequate safety for the patient and comfort for the surgical team, excellent postoperative analgesia and
no complications.

This study aims to explore strategies that can strengthen the core skills of future teachers of Islamic religious education through the Field Teacher Training Program (PLPK) at STAI Sirojul Falah. In the context of the ever-changing dynamics of education, the presence of strong pedagogical skills is essential for future teachers. This study used a qualitative method with downsizing data collection, data reporting, and interview insights to examine students' experiences during PLPK, as well as challenges they faced such as lack of direct experience and difficulties in managing the classroom. Interviews with students and supervisors have shown that thorough preparation and good support are key to increasing their competence. This study also found that the integration of theory and practice into the learning process is an important factor in the development of basic skills. In addition, character education is considered very important in the interaction between future teachers and students. The results of this study are expected to serve as recommendations for the development of educational programs at STAI Sirojul Falah and provide useful insights into future education policies. The results of the study show that PLPK contributes to the readiness of future teachers to solve problems in this area, as well as supports them in becoming competent and professional teachers.
