Perception of readiness to manage COVID-19 among hospital workers: An individual, collective, and institutional process
Authors: Bossard Marie , Dusserre Gilles , Weiss Karine
Published: September 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had adverse effects worldwide and has overwhelmed the health systems of many countries. Yet, to manage sanitary crises as COVID-19 pandemic, skills, commitment, and motivation of hospital workers are essential. However, most research on the preparedness of hospital workers for sanitary crises shows a mismatch between their level of preparedness, their perceived preparedness, and the estimated needs to manage these situations. After a definition of the concepts mobilized in this study, actual preparedness, declared preparedness, perceived preparedness, and perceived readiness, this study aims to explore hospital workers readiness perception to manage a sanitary crisis upcoming (COVID-19 pandemic) and determinants of this perception. Four hundred and eight French hospital workers respond to an online survey containing 11 items about COVID-19. Variables studied concern perception of personal preparedness, colleagues’ preparedness, and institutional preparedness. Results show that hospital workers have a relatively low readiness perception to manage COVID-19 before it came out. This study proposed a model explaining personal readiness perception to manage COVID-19, and the most important variables are as follows: colleague from the same hospital department (β = .37***), personal preparedness perception (β = .29***), perception of hospital human resources sufficient (β = .22**), perceived capacity for professional action (β = .097***), and perception of personal skills as sufficient (β = .11**). These results show that hospital workers did not feel ready, either individually or collectively, to manage the COVID-19 pandemic before it destabilized their hospital. The preparedness process is not an individual process, and it is necessary to emphasize its collective and institutional side. The results also show that preparedness would benefit from concentrating on exercises such as lessons learned (feedback sessions about the management of anterior sanitary crisis) and simulation exercises ***p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic response on the Emergency Medical Services workforce, Texas, USA
Authors: Mendez Maria , Horney Jennifer A.
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The physical and mental health impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response on healthcare workers has been extensively studied; less is known about impacts specific to the prehospital Emergency Medical Service’s (EMS) workforce. However, given data about the physical and psychological impacts to EMS workers participating in prior emergencies and disasters, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic likely increased risk among the EMS workforce.

Methods: EMS agencies in the State of Texas were stratified according to agency structure, eg, fire-based, nonfire-based governmental, hospital-based private, nonhospital-based private, and other. A systematic sample of 10 agencies was selected from each of the five strata. An interview guide was developed to collect information about prior experience with disaster or emergency response, professional roles since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and alternations to professional roles and EMS systems during both prior responses and the COVID-19 response. Interviews were transcribed and inductively coded to identify themes.

Results: Five themes were identified in qualitative interviews. These included 1) early pandemic lessons, 2) protocol changes, 3) personal stressors, 4) professional stressors, and 5) lessons learned. Increased workloads, operational changes, fear of transmission to friends and family, and fatigue from working conditions were emphasized by participants. However, adaptations are being identified that could help EMS agencies and their workforces maintain resilience, even during an ongoing emergency response.

Discussion: The COVID-19 response created unique professional and personal stressors to the EMS workforce and limited access to coping mechanisms previously used to reduce stress. Targeted studies are needed to guide the implementation of evidence-based interventions to protect the well-being of EMS personnel now and during future public health emergency and disaster responses.
Empowering local response and community-based disaster mitigation through legislative policies: Lessons from the Kerala floods of 2018-19
Authors: Hakkim Adeeba , Deb Amrita
Published: September 2023

The present paper draws on a series of qualitative studies exploring civic response and community resilience post the 2018-19 floods in Kerala, India. Data were triangulated from multiple sources and perspectives—community leaders and key informants, rescue and relief volunteers, and survivors. This viewpoint paper aims to highlight the critical role of local volunteerism in disaster mitigation and preparedness, the cost of gaps in emboldening community response, and to suggest actionable means of maximizing civilian potential through legislative policies. The local populace are the first responders at disaster sites and play a vital role in disaster mitigation. Knowledge about local geography, community, and readily accessible resources enables community members to respond efficiently, unlike state deployed disaster task forces who need to be scaffolded into these sites. Liaisons between the state and civilian responders are necessary for informed and time-efficient response. Insights gleaned from interviews with the participants offer several suggestions for streamlining administrative channels and structural reforms in governance. Community response can be emboldened by adopting policies that formalize civilian participation in the state’s disaster mitigation systems. Decentralization of authority to local self-governance bodies and acknowledgment of local expertise is key to fostering disaster resilient communities. This paper argues that empowering local stakeholders through legislative reforms can bridge existing gaps between community-action focused research recommendations and policy in practice. It provides a framework and actionable measures toward actualizing the call for society-inclusive disaster risk reduction practices.

Published: September 2023

Objective: To assess knowledge and attitudes toward opioids and buprenorphine (BUP) of patients with cancer.
Design: Single-center, single-intervention telephone survey of patients under palliative care at the cancer center.
Outcomes: Forty percent of the participants recognized the word “buprenorphine,” and 28 percent recognized BUP indication for addiction treatment. Four percent addressed potential BUP misuse. None recognized BUP indication for pain. Seventy-one percent were not worried about addiction or dependency while using opioids to treat their cancer-related-pain, and 73 percent were not worried about being stigmatized in the healthcare setting about their pain regimens. Patients on opioids for less than 3 months were most strongly correlated with the fear of addiction and stigma.
Conclusion: This study identifies patients’ knowledge gap regarding BUP products for pain, which gives professionals the opportunity to provide education. This study identified that patients are most worried early on about addiction and stigma when using opioids.

Published: September 2023

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease resulting, in most cases, from a reactivation of a latent cyst with Toxoplasma gondii. The disease mainly affects immunosuppressed individuals, such as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-infected patients. Diagnosis is based on specialized antibody testing, clinical symptoms, neuroimaging methods, and histological examination. The gold standard for diagnosis is a brain biopsy, but more often the response to treatment seen in clinical symptoms and neuroimaging studies is sufficient. The imaging features support the diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis and help assess the effectiveness of treatment.
Berlin, the Jewish Museum and the Holocaust Memorial
Authors: Pezzini Isabella
Published: September 2023

In this contribution, I discuss two places of memory in Berlin: the Jewish Museum, designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind (2001), and the Holocaust Memorial, designed by Peter Eisenman (2005), that have become well-known landmarks of the German capital, both for the importance of the subject matter and for their decidedly innovative architectural quality. The comparative analysis I propose focuses in particular on the visitor paths that architectural morphologies prompt and at times prescribe. Where the Jewish Museum induces memory through an obligatory sensorial path, the Holocaust Memorial leaves the visitor freer to move around the large esplanade on which it stands, suggesting more general reflections on the communication strategies of spatial artefacts and on their effectiveness.
500,000 Dirhams in Scandinavia, from Mobile Silver to Land Rent
Authors: Hammad Manar
Published: September 2023

The absence of written chronicles in Scandinavia during the period in which Islamic silver dirhams were brought from afar and hoarded in pits, necessitates the interpretation of non-verbal data (caches, emission dates of coins, cache distribution in space) and the restitution of actions (maritime and river travel, economic exchange) that produced such results. The interpretation process also needs the consideration of other caches containing precious objects and written sources from the East and the West. The data give us back the of a Scandinavian society in transformation. This chapter presents this study in three phases: physical space (from the Baltic to Baghdad and Tashkent), economic space (predation and/or exchange) and social space (differentiation of society according to collective actors defined by action).

Published: September 2023

Aims: Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including atherosclerosis. Thiols are important antioxidants for the elimination of reactive oxygen radicals and oxidative stress. In this study, we aimed to compare patients suffering from without persistent ST-segment elevation (NSTMI) and volunteers with normal coronary arteries in terms of antioxidants.
Methods: The study included 105 patients diagnosed with NSTMI and 51 controls. Plasma total thiol, native thiol, and disulfide levels were measured.
Results: Baseline demographic characteristics were similar between the groups. The ejection fraction was lower in the patient group. In terms of biochemical and hematologic parameters, glucose, AST, ALT, white blood cell count, and troponin were higher in the patient group, while other parameters were similar. Plasma native thiol (344.32 ± 81.28 µmol/L versus 403.62 ± 62.36 µmol/L, p < 0.0001) and total thiol (382.90 ± 91.13 µmol/L versus 444.17 ± 65.53 µmol/L, p < 0. 0001) levels were lower in NSTMI patients compared to control patients, while disulfide (19.29± 3.19 versus 20.27± 8.10, p = 0.77) levels were similar between the groups.
Conclusion: In this study, we found that native thiol and total thiol levels, which are antioxidant markers, were lower in patients with NSTMI compared with the control group. Our study shows that antioxidant activity is affected in NSTMI, and antioxidant levels are decreased.
A rare food poisoning: clostridium botulinum
Authors: Deniz Yusuf Ziya , Nas Necip
Published: September 2023

Botulismus is a gram-positive anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium commonly found in soil. Exotaxins secreted by Clostridium
bolulinum bacteria are heat-labile and irreversibly block the release of acetylcholine at the cholinergic ends of presynaptic and autonomic nerves at the neuromuscular junction after ingestion with food. The incubation period of botulismus is between 18-38 hours, and the first finding is blurred vision and diplopia symptoms due to the involvement of the eye muscles. The most important point in its treatment is early diagnosis and rapid administration of antitoxin. In this article, a case who was successfully treated in our intensive care unit with the diagnosis of botulismus poisoning is presented.

Published: September 2023

To solve the problem of providing livestock with balanced feed, it is necessary to introduce into production the cultivation of leguminous crops that effectively use the bioclimatic potential of the zone. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-sowing seed treatment in the formation of agrocenoses of narrow-leaved lupine. The study was carried out in 2020-2022 on the experimental field of the educational, scientific and industrial complex "Agrotechnopark" of the Udmurt State Agrarian University in accordance with generally accepted methods and guidelines. The soil of the experimental plots is soddy-podzolic medium loamy with low and medium content of humus (1,8–2,3 %), mobile phosphorus - high (193-282 mg/kg), mobile potassium - high and very high (200-272 mg/kg ). The exchange acidity of the soil is from medium acid to close to neutral reaction (5,0-5,6). Be-fore sowing, the seeds were treated with the inoculant Rizotorfin (Rhizobium lupine) (1 l/t), plant growth regulator Melafen (5 ml/t), complex fertilizer Agree's Forsage (2 l/t), fungicide Maxim XL (0,4 l/t), complex fertilizer Agree's Forsage together with plant growth regulator Melafen, fungicide Maxim XL together with plant growth regulator Melafen, fungicide Maxim XL together with complex fertilizer Agree's Forsage. The untreated variant was taken as a control. The seeding rate is 1.0 million, 1.2 million, 1,4 million. Based on the experimental data obtained, the efficiency of pre-sowing seed treatment, which can be recommended to agricultural production to increase the productivity of narrow-leaved lupine, was revealed. Formation of the highest yield of narrow-leaved lupine 1,54-1.62 t/ha was obtained when pre-sowing seed treatment with complex fertilizer Agree's Forsage and its joint use with plant growth regulator Melafen and fungicide Maxim XL. The effectiveness of pre-sowing seed treatment is confirmed by a weak relationship between grain yield and root rot (r = -0,08±0,10).

This study delves into the intricate relationship between monetary incentives and workers' performance within the context of the Nigerian Automobile Industry. The objective is to discern the impact of various monetary incentive factors on employee performance while also investigating potential areas for enhancement. Through a meticulous examination of 120 completed questionnaires, the study identifies prevailing trends and disparities in the perception of monetary incentives among industry workers. The findings unveil a nuanced understanding of employees' familiarity with the elements and factors of monetary incentives, highlighting their comprehension of how these variables intertwine with their workplace performance. A critical observation is made concerning the incongruence between the societal image associated with workers within the Automobile Industry and the current salary structures. It becomes evident that salary adjustments are not conducted in alignment with the benchmarks established by the Salaries and Wages Commission. A compelling revelation surfaces as the study underscores the paramount influence of Bonus payments and pay raises on employees' motivation and job satisfaction. These two factors emerge as significant determinants of enhanced performance, with most workers acknowledging their pivotal role. In contrast, the practice of Profit Sharing within the industry is not commonplace, and concerns regarding transparency shadow instances that do exist. This unveils a compelling demand for a more open and equitable Profit-Sharing system capable of invigorating workers' enthusiasm. Moreover, the study illuminates the inadequacies of the Retirement Benefits framework, indicating a palpable need for its augmentation to elevate employee contentment and performance. The research substantiates the hypothesis that monetary Incentives encompassing Salary, Bonus, pay rate, profit-sharing, and Retirement Benefits significantly influence workers' performance within the Nigerian Automobile Industry. In conclusion, the study proffers strategic recommendations to fortify the bond between monetary incentives and employee performance. Embracing transparency, ensuring timely salary reviews and bonus disbursements, implementing performance-based pay rise policies, enhancing retirement benefits, and upholding transparency in monetary incentive processes are identified as pivotal actions that can stimulate heightened motivation, job satisfaction, and ultimately, superior performance within the Nigerian Automobile Industry.

Keywords: Monetary Incentives, Employee Performance, Nigerian Automobile Industry, Job Satisfaction, Intrinsic Motivation, Career Development, Human Resources Management, Pay Rise.

What chemical species are responsible for new particle formation and growth in the Netherlands? A hybrid positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis using aerosol composition (ACSM) and size (SMPS)

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Aerosol formation acts as a sink for gas-phase
atmospheric species that controls their atmospheric lifetime and
environmental effects. To investigate aerosol formation and evolution in the
Netherlands, a hybrid positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis was
conducted using observations from May, June, and September 2021 collected in
the rural site of Cabauw in the central part of the Netherlands. The hybrid input matrix
consists of the full organic mass spectrum acquired from a time-of-flight
aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM), ACSM inorganic species
concentrations, and binned particle size distribution concentrations from a
scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). These hybrid PMF analyses discerned
four factors that describe aerosol composition variations: two size-driven
factors that are related to new particle formation (NPF) and growth (F4 and
F3), as well as two bulk factors driven by composition, not size (F2 and F1). The
distribution of chemical species across these factors shows that different
compounds are responsible for nucleation and growth of new particles. The
smallest-diameter size factor (F4) contains ammonium sulfate and organics
and typically peaks during the daytime. Newly formed particles, represented
by F4, are mainly correlated with wind from the southwesterly–westerly and
easterly sectors that transport sulfur oxides (SOx), ammonia
(NH3), and organic precursors to Cabauw. As the particles grow from F4
to F3 and to bulk factors, nitrate and organics play an increasing role, and
the particle loading diurnal cycle shifts from daytime to a nighttime
maximum. Greater organics availability makes secondary organic aerosol (SOA)
more influential in summertime aerosol growth, principally due to volatility
differences produced by seasonal variation in photooxidation and
temperature.
Consistent but more intense atmospheric circulation response to Arctic sea ice loss in CMIP6 experiments compared to PAMIP experiments
Authors: Delhaye Steve , Msadek Rym , Fichefet Thierry , Massonnet François , Terray Laurent
Published: September 2023

Abstract. The atmospheric circulation response to Arctic sea ice loss may differ depending on the region of sea ice loss but also on the methodology used to study this impact. Examining the different possible atmospheric circulation responses to sea ice loss is essential, as the Arctic sea ice is not melting uniformly. In this study, we examine the atmospheric response in winter to regional sea ice loss using two different approaches across seven climate models. The sea ice anomaly areas are the pan-Arctic, the Barents-Kara Seas only, and the Sea of Okhotsk only. The first approach involves sensitivity experiments performed within the Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP), while the second approach entails a composite analysis in long pre-industrial control simulations from CMIP6. Our results reveal that both approaches lead to consistent atmospheric circulation responses to pan-Arctic sea ice loss, characterized by a negative phase in the North Atlantic Oscillation and a weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex. Similar responses to BK sea ice loss are simulated, albeit with more spread in the PAMIP experiments. The responses to Okhotsk sea ice loss differ and are uncertain in both approaches. Furthermore, larger changes are detected in the composite analysis than in the sensitivity experiments, likely due to a different background state and the presence of confounding factors in the composite analysis. We also find that the atmosphere-ocean coupling does not imply larger circulation changes or a better representation of the eddy momentum feedback in the climate response. These results highlight that sea ice loss in sensitivity experiments yields a weaker atmospheric circulation response compared to the pre-industrial simulations in CMIP6 where the sea ice loss is governed by internal climate variability. A quantification of the role played by factors related to sea ice loss that amplifies the response should be further investigated.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. The mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region represents a captivating yet challenging field of research. Remote sensing techniques, such as radar, have proven invaluable for investigating this domain. The Middle Atmosphere Alomar Radar System (MAARSY), located in Northern Norway (69° N, 16° E), uses Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes (PMSE) as tracers to study MLT dynamics across multiple scales. We recently discovered a spatiotemporally highly localized event showing a varicose mode, which is characterized by extreme vertical velocities (|w| ≥ 3σ) of up to 60 m/s in the vertical drafts. Motivated by this finding, our objective is to identify and quantify similar extreme events or comparable varicose structures, i.e. defined by quasi-simultaneous up- and downdrafts that may have been previously overlooked or filtered. To achieve this, we conducted a thorough manual search through a MAARSY dataset, considering the PMSE months (i.e. May, June, July, August) spanning from 2015 to 2021. This search has revealed that these structures do indeed occur relatively frequently with an occurrence rate of up to 2.5 % per month. Over the seven-year period, we observed and recorded more than 700 varicose-mode events and documented their vertical extent, vertical velocity characteristics, duration as well as their occurrence. Remarkably, these events manifest throughout the entire PMSE season with pronounced occurrence rates in June and July, while the probability of their occurrence decreases towards the beginning and end of the PMSE seasons. Furthermore, their diurnal variability aligns with that of PMSE. On average, the observed events persisted for 20 minutes, while the varicose mode caused an average expansion of the PMSE layer by a factor of 1.5, with a vertical expansion averaging around 8 km. Notably, a careful examination of the vertical velocities associated with these events confirmed that approximately 17 % surpassed the 3σ threshold, highlighting their extreme nature.
Exploring the daytime boundary layer evolution based on Doppler spectrum width from multiple coplanar wind lidars during CROSSINN

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Over heterogeneous, mountainous terrain, the determination of spatial heterogeneity of any type of a turbulent layer has been known to pose substantial challenges in mountain meteorology. In addition to the combined effect in which buoyancy and shear contribute to the turbulence intensity of such layers, it is well known that mountains add an additional degree of complexity via non-local transport mechanisms, compared to flatter topography. It is therefore the aim of this study to determine the vertical depths of both daytime convectively and shear-driven boundary layers within a fairly wide and deep Alpine Valley during summertime. Specifically, three Doppler lidars deployed during the CROSSINN (Cross-valley flow in the Inn Valley investigated by dual-Doppler lidar measurements) campaign within a single week in August 2019 are used to this end, as they were deployed along a transect nearly perpendicular to the along-valley axis. To achieve this, a bottom-up exceedance threshold method based on turbulent Doppler spectrum width sampled by the three lidars has been developed and calibrated against a more traditional bulk-Richardson number approach applied to radiosonde profiles obtained above the valley floor. The method was found to adequately capture the depths of convective turbulent boundary layers at a 1-min temporal and 50-m spatial resolution across the valley, with the degree of ambiguity increasing once surface convection decayed and upvalley flows gained in intensity over the course of the afternoon and evening hours. Analysis of four Intensive Observation Period (IOP) events elucidated three regimes of the daytime mountain boundary layer in this section of the Inn Valley. Each of the three regimes has been analyzed as a function of surface sensible heat flux $H$, upper-level valley stability $\\Gamma$, and upper-level subsidence $w_L$ estimated with the coplanar retrieval method. Finally, the positioning of the three Doppler lidars in a cross-valley configuration enabled one of the most highly spatially and temporally resolved observational convective boundary layer depth data sets during daytime and over complex terrain to date.

Abstract. The widely used open-source community Noah with multi-parameterization options (Noah-MP) land surface model (LSM) is designed for applications ranging from uncoupled land surface hydrometeorological and ecohydrological process studies to coupled numerical weather prediction and decadal global or regional climate simulations. It has been used in many coupled community weather, climate, and hydrology models. In this study, we modernize and refactor the Noah-MP LSM by adopting modern Fortran code standards and data structures, which substantially enhance the model modularity, interoperability, and applicability. The modernized Noah-MP is released as the version 5.0 (v5.0), which has five key features: (1) enhanced modularization as a result of re-organizing model physics into individual process-level Fortran module files, (2) an enhanced data structure with new hierarchical data types and optimized variable declaration and initialization structures, (3) an enhanced code structure and calling workflow as a result of leveraging the new data structure and modularization, (4) enhanced (descriptive and self-explanatory) model variable naming standards, and (5) enhanced driver and interface structures to be coupled with the host weather, climate, and hydrology models. In addition, we create a comprehensive technical documentation of the Noah-MP v5.0 and a set of model benchmark and reference datasets. The Noah-MP v5.0 will be coupled to various weather, climate, and hydrology models in the future. Overall, the modernized Noah-MP allows a more efficient and convenient process for future model developments and applications.
A physics-based Antarctic melt detection technique: Combining AMSR-2, radiative transfer modeling, and firn modeling

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Surface melt on ice shelves has been linked to hydrofracture and subsequent ice shelf breakup. Since the 1990s, scientists have been using microwave radiometers to detect melt on ice shelves and ice sheets by applying various statistically based thresholds to identify significant increases in brightness temperature that are associated with melt. We combine a statistical thresholding technique with Community Firn Model outputs, the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer model, and AMSR-2 to create a hybrid method that accounts for the influence of variations in snow temperature and density on microwave brightness temperature. In the process, we also produce snow correlation lengths, and we run this algorithm on 13 sites over the Antarctic Ice Sheet and ice shelves. Compared to melt values from surface energy balance observations from automatic weather stations, this method is as accurate as previous statistically based thresholding techniques and is slightly more sensitive to melt events. Our correlation lengths from early 2014 correlate with surface grain size from the 2013–2014 Mosaic of Antarctica. We also find a significant relationship between correlation length and frequency of melt. In the future, this hybrid method can be further developed to quantify melt volume rather than to simply detect melt occurrence.

Published: September 2023

Introducción: Los pacientes con tetralogía de Fallot recién nacidos sintomáticos tienen indicación de tratamiento terapéutico, ya sea paliativo o cirugía correctiva, sin embargo, el manejo inicial de estos pacientes genera en la actualidad controversia.

Caso Clínico: Recién nacido de sexo femenino, de 40 semanas de gestación, quien ingresó a las 24 horas de vida por cianosis, taquipnea, retracciones tóraco- abdominales y la presencia un soplo sistólico eyectivo III/VI en el foco pulmonar.

Taller diagnóstico: En los exámenes: leucocitosis 27.05 x 103 /UL, acidosis metabólica PH: 7.36, pCO2: 36.2 mmHg, exceso de Base: -4.6 mEq/L, hipoxemnia: pO2 54.1 mmHg y acidosis láctica 5 mmol/L. El ecocardiograma demostró tetralogía de Fallot, con estenosis infundibular y valvular pulmonar severa, con el anillo pulmonar de 3 mm (Z: -7.6) tronco y ramas pulmonares hipoplásicas.

Tratamiento: Se realiza hidratación intravenosa e inicio de prostaglandina, adicionalmente ampicilina y gentamicina IV por 7 días. Al 11er día se realizó un cateterismo cardíaco con colocación de stent (4.5 y 16 mm) en el tracto de salida del ventrículo derech, con embolización de 5 colaterales aortopulmonares de alto flujo.

Evolución: El procedimiento fue bien tolerado, con el alta a los 17 días con ácido acetil salicílico 15mg/día, furosemida 2 mg/día, espironolactona 6,25 mg/día. A los 10 meses se realiza cirugía correctiva de tetralogía de Fallot con parche transanular y plastia de rama pulmonar izquierda. El control a los 18 meses fue normal.

Conclusión: La colocación de un stent en el tracto de salida del ventrículo derecho por vía percutánea es un método seguro que garantiza un flujo pulmonar estable, permitiendo diferir la cirugía correctiva fuera de la etapa neonatal.
High Choice, No Choice: The impact of COVID-19 on the news consumption and media preferences of young Australian adults
Authors:   , Melit Maxwell
Published: September 2023

This research project aimed to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the news consumption habits of young Australian adults. Using focus groups as the primary research method, it found that while people did become more interested in the news early in the pandemic, this interest was only temporary. The stress associated with the pandemic and abundance of COVID-19 news caused nearly all participants in the focus groups to practice strategies of news avoidance. Interesting strategies for filtering information on social media emerged during the focus groups, highlighting the distinct ‘do-it-yourself’ strategies young adults independently foster for consuming the news.

Comparison of Muscle Activity and Muscle Thickness According to Knee Flexion Angle during Supine Bridge Exercises using the Abdominal Drawing-in Maneuver on an Unstable Surface
Authors: Kim Sumin , Park Junhyung , Her Jingang
Published: September 2023

This study evaluated changes in deep trunk muscle thickness and lower extremity muscle activities during bridge exercises with the abdominal drawing-in maneuver. Bridge exercises were conducted on an unstable surface at different knee flexion angles (60º, 90º and 120º), with the aim of identifying more effective angles for bridge exercises. This study included 21 healthy adults, aged 20–27 years. Biceps femoris (BF), rectus abdominis, and rectus femoris activity was measured using surface electromyography. The thicknesses of the transverse abdominis (TrA), external oblique (EO) and internal oblique (IO) muscles were measured. BF (p = 0.000, partial η2 = 0.670) activity increased considerably as the knee flexion angle decreased. TrA (p = 0.000, partial η2 = 0.883) and IO (p = 0.000, partial η2 = 0.892) thickness significantly increased, while EO (p = 0.000, partial η2 = 0.893) thickness decreased as the knee flexion angle decreased. When performing bridge exercises using the abdominal drawing-in maneuver on an unstable surface, the knee flexion angles should be at 120º and 60º to increase trunk stability and lower extremity muscle activity, respectively.

Stress management and regulating cortisol levels are essential for maintaining good health. Regular exercise has been linked to reducing stress and making sleep better. However, limited research has looked at how physical activity affects cortisol levels, stress, and sleep in adult men. This study investigated how doing aerobic exercise for 12 weeks can affect stress levels and the way the body regulates cortisol (a hormone that helps manage stress) in young men from Peshawar. The study utilized a pre-post intervention design, including assessments of stress levels and cortisol measurements before and after the exercise program. The findings of the study were blood serum cortisol levels decreased from 142.98 to 106.88 with a significance value of p <.000 while the perceived stress scale dropped from 32.76 to 23.71 with a significance value of p <.000. Aerobic exercise has the potential benefits of reducing stress and modulating cortisol levels in this population.

This study took the Human Capital Theory as a theoretical perspective to empirically investigate the role of supervisors' supervision in moderating the effect of professionalism and creativity on the performance of public high school teachers in Pekanbaru. The research respondents were 144 teachers, the data were processed using the PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study proposed supervisors' supervision as a strategy to improve teacher performance. The results of the study show that professionalism and creativity affect teacher performance—supervisors' supervision plays a role in strengthening teacher performance. These results strengthen the Human Capital Theory stating that a combination of knowledge, skills, innovation, and a person's ability to carry out their duties can create value to achieve goals.
