Authors: Anh Kien Le , Van Thanh Huy Ngo , Anh Khoi Tran , Thanh Tung Nguyen , Thi Thuy Nguyen , Van Linh Nguyen
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the synthesis of magnetic activated carbon materials using a coprecipitation method to produce ferromagnetic oxide (Fe3O4) particles attached to the activated carbon surface. The synthetic material is applied to treat 4-chlorophenol in water by an advanced oxidation process using hydrogen peroxide. Modern analysis techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), specific surface area and pore size distribution (BET/BJH) have been used to analyze the composition and structure of magnetic activated carbon. The results showed that the material sample had Fe3O4 crystals in the structure with a magnetization of 8.19 emu.g-1, a specific surface area BET of 330.3 m2.g-1, and a total pore volume of 0.16 cm3.g-1. The ability to oxidize 4-chlorophenol using magnetic activated carbon materials has been studied, and the results indicate that more than 86 % of 4-chlorophenol is decomposed after 60 min with the optimal conditions of pH 3.0, H2O2 and 4-chlorophenol concentration ratio of 6.8, Fe2+/Fe3+ molar ratio of 3:1, and mass fraction of Fe3O4 on activated carbon of 20 %. This shows the potential for 4-chlorophenol processing in sources discharged with magnetic catalytic materials.

Published: February 2025

Semi-supervised clustering methods are applied in various fields. However, these methods have the limitations when the size of data is large. Thus, distributed clustering models are proposed. By separating data set into some parts, distributed models overcome the challenges of big size dataset. In this paper, a novel model, based on semi-supervised fuzzy clustering and distributed mechanism, is proposed. In our research, the method to define distributed additional information is introduced. This additional information is used to implement distributed semi-supervised fuzzy clustering model on three datasets. The main contribution in this paper is the proposal of distributed semi-supervised fuzzy clustering algorithm (denoted as DSSFCM) that performs on Master – Slave model on homogeneous datasets.
Transhumanism Ethics: A Critical Analysis of AI Technology Development and Its Implications for Humanity
Authors: Huda Achmad Nuril , Winarno Agung , Yahya Khoirul
Published: February 2025

This study examines the ethics of transhumanism in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its implications for humanity through the perspective of Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics. The research focuses on the threats to human dignity, moral autonomy, and social injustice arising from the application of transhumanism. Using a qualitative research method based on a literature review, the findings reveal that AI development within the framework of transhumanism tends to violate universal moral principles by treating humans as mere instruments for technological progress. Additionally, autonomous AI has the potential to eliminate human moral responsibility, increase dependency on technology, and deepen the inequality of access between affluent and under­pri­vileged groups. This study recommends AI development policies that emphasize respect for human dignity, moral autonomy, and equitable technology distribution to prevent the risks of dehumanization and social inequality.
Co-Authoring Across Communities
Authors: Rosenberg Lauren , McGowan Gwen
Published: February 2025

This article explores a developing writing partnership between Lauren, a white, mid-career, academic literacy researcher; and Gwen, an African American, older adult, community member and activist, who transitioned from being a research participant to co-author. Together, Lauren and Gwen trace the evolution of our writing relationship and the meaning of collaboration across disparate communities. Our collaboration has become a topic of study for us. We are writing together and defining what that process means as we do it. In looking back and describing our current writing practices, we demonstrate the ongoing nature of our longitudinal writing research and the real human relationship that deepens through the process. Our goal is to look at how a research relationship can transform through co-authorship and the possibilities that transformation can suggest for writing researchers. We share our process to illustrate our experience and encourage other community writing partnerships. We extend the notion of writing research and the possibilities it can offer for redefining a traditional research process to one that is co-interpretive and co-creative. In this way, we can think about literacy more broadly and better understand what we truly mean when we talk about community writing partnerships.
Grant Writing as Project Development for Academic Book Writers
Authors: Tolliver Julie
Published: February 2025

Academic book writers sometimes consider the writing of grant proposal applications a waste of time; the odds of success are so low that they prefer to simply work on their book. Support materials on how to write grants will not help convince these writers to change course. And yet a grant proposal can be an extremely useful document to spur the development and completion of the book project. This short article refers to productivity guides to suggest the various ways grant writing can support writers: as a motor to articulate and refine ideas, as a document on which to solicit feedback, as a blueprint for the book, as a goalsetting tool, and as proto–book proposal. I argue that grant writing can be a satisfying career-long process that accompanies each step of each academic book project.

Prediction model for post-retirement depression in the older population: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Han Myeunghee
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim was to identify high-risk groups for postretirement depression among those aged 65 or older. Methods: This study used the 9th Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing to identify the prevalence of depression among 1,879 retirees aged 65 and above and to develop a predictive model. The decision-tree-analysis method was used to construct a predictive model. Results: The highest proportion of depression, at 58.5%, was observed in males who do not engage in regular exercise and have low daily living performance. In the predictive model where age is fixed as the first branch, depression was highest at 55.4% among middle-old or old-old individuals with low oral-health-related quality of life and marital status of separated/divorced/widowed/never married. In a predictive model that first classifies by sex, the proportion of depression was highest at 53.7% for dependent males. Conclusion: This study confirmed that age, oral health, marital status, heath status, instrumental activities of daily living, activities of daily living, and regular exercise have an impact on depression. However, these factors change over time, so longitudinal studies should be conducted to understand how depression changes with them.

Authors: Lee Eunha , Kim Jungmin
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study investigated illness acceptance, depression, social support, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older adults undergoing hemodialysis at primary and secondary healthcare facilities in Korea. Methods: Data were collected from 144 participants between July 19 and August 14, 2024, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The results showed that participants had a mean illness acceptance score of 18.43±6.99 out of 36, a mean depression score of 3.47±4.04 out of 27, a mean social support score of 67.72±17.00 out of 90, and a mean HRQoL score of 0.76±0.15 out of 1. Factors significantly influencing HRQoL were illness acceptance (β=.33, p<.001), depression (β=-.24, p=.003), and being man (β=-.21, p=.012). The model’s adjusted R2 was 31%, indicating its explanatory power. Conclusion: This study identified key factors influencing HRQoL, including illness acceptance, depression, and gender. Illness acceptance positively impacted HRQoL, whereas lower depression levels were associated with better HRQoL. Psychological support and tailored interventions are vital to improving HRQoL in this population.

Published: February 2025

The favorable course of postoperative healing is a crucial stage in surgical treatment and a significant factor in achieving successful outcomes. The rehabilitation of patients with cleft lip and palate also depends on various other factors. To a great extent, the success of treatment depends on an integrated approach that includes both surgical interventions and subsequent rehabilitation measures. Wound healing of oral mucosal tissues has specific characteristics, and therefore, when choosing wound dressings, it is essential to consider the environment and the nature of the wound healing process. It has been observed that the correction of palatal defects in patients following a series of surgeries for clefts is further complicated by the scarring of palatal tissues. The main objectives of modern wound dressings are to protect and stimulate regenerative processes in the surgical site. We have successfully developed and tested a novel wound dressing based on alginate sodium that is designed to stimulate tissue regeneration in individuals with pathology in the maxillofacial area and a complicated wound healing process, particularly those with pronounced scarring of the hard palate that is common in this patient group.

The legal regulation of AI use is also an important aspect to consider.
Reflections on simulated learning experiences of occupational therapy students in a clinical skills unit at an institution of higher learning
Authors: Van Vuuren Santie
Published: February 2025

Background: Global and national changes in healthcare create challenges in providing suitable and quality fieldwork placements for the skills training of undergraduate health professions students. The department of occupational therapy (OT) at a Higher Education Institute (HEI) in South Africa decided in 2013 to incorporate simulated learning experiences as part of the new curriculum for second year occupational therapy students. Two staff members of the Department of OT trained by an iinternational institution of higher education in the use of simulation during teaching were involved. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of those students who had benefitted from simulated learning in the Clinical Skills Unit (CSU) to improve on this method of obtaining clinical assessment skills.Methods: A qualitative methodology was used to describe the reflections of the second-year occupational therapy students of the years 2013 and 2014 (81 students) on the simulated learning of assessment procedures which took place in the CSU.Results: Four themes and ten sub-themes were identified from the content analysis of the reflections, namely (i) personal experience (personal emotions, initial stress, confidence) (ii) Teaching and Learning clinical assessment skills (communication, occupational performance components [OPC] and occupational performance activities [OPA]); (iii) professional skills (therapeutic use of self, cooperative learning) and (iv) benefits and challenges of presenting simulated learning experiences (benefits, criticisms).Conclusions: Occupational therapy students reported a positive experience and satisfaction with learning from the simulatedexperiences, which succeeded in creating a "safe" learning environment for them and opportunities to hone their clinical assessment skills prior to their first clinical fieldwork placement. Challenges associated with simulated learning experiences (SLE) were found to be: the need for clearer instructions; the number of assessments covered and the provision of a time frame to complete each task.  There was consensual agreement in the department that SLE in the CSU will supplement fielwork placements and contribute to attainment of assessment skills prior to fieldwork placements. It is recommended that current occupational therapy lecvgturing staff, trained in the use of simulation techniques, develop a manual for the planning of SLE and present training sessions to other staff. The manual may also be of value to other institutions of higher learning in South Africa.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: This paper explores causal connections between impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions after stroke.Methods: The study population (N=267) of this descriptive study were public health care users, from the eastern sub-district of the Western Cape Metropole, who had a stroke between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2010. Fifty-three study participants were selected through stratified, proportional, random sampling. Data was collected using the Stroke Impact Scale-3.0; the Modified Barthel Index; the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment and a language screening test. Spearman correlations were used to determine statistical significance.Results: The mean Stroke Impact Scale participation score was 31.3/100. Limb strength (<0.01), visual perception (<0.01), spatial perception (0.02), motor praxis (<0.01), visuomotor organisation (<0.01), and thinking operations (<0.01), impacted participation scores negatively. The mean Modified Barthel Index score was 70.58/100. Limb strength (<0.01), hand function (<0.01), visual perception (<0.01), motor praxis (<0.01), visuomotor organisation (<0.01), and thinking operations (<0.01) impacted Modified Barthel Index scores negatively.Conclusion: Motor, cognitive and perceptual impairments impacted activities and participation negatively. Stroke survivors should receive routine cognitive, perceptual and motor evaluations. The effect of intervention strategies on cognitive and perceptual impairment post-stroke must be studied.Key wordsStroke, cognition, perception, activities, participation

Valoración contingente dicotómica del servicio ecosistémico hídrico en una microcuenca andina del Ecuador
Authors: Campos Collaguazo Edison , Jimenez Luis
Published: February 2025

The moorland or paramo is a threatened ecosystem. The indiscriminate advance of the agricultural frontier is producing the loss of ecosystem services, especially water service. This research estimated the willingness to pay (WTP) of the water users corresponding to the Municipality of Riobamba for the conservation of the water service in the Micro-basin of the Chimborazo River (MCRCH). Four hundred and six surveys were applied by means of the double limit dichotomous contingent valuation method, using a maximum likelihood model in the Stata software. Four models were developed: simple limit, simple limit with other explanatory variables, double limit, and double limit with other explanatory variables, the latter being statistically more significant. As a result, it was determined that the WTP is USD 0.84 per month to conserve the water service of the MCRCH, value that increases if the home ownership variable is included in USD 0.04. The problem of climate change increases in USD 0.24, while the variable level of education decreases the WTP by USD 0.04.
Sensibilidades y desigualdades en el espacio urbano: emociones y actividad física de personas mayores
Authors: Sossa Rojas Alexis
Published: February 2025

The growing population of older people in urban contexts poses significant challenges in terms of health, well-being and access to physical activities. This article highlights the importance of exploring sensitivities and inequalities in urban space, specifically in Santiago de Chile, where socio-spatial conditions can limit the active participation of this demographic group. This study investigates how these inequalities influence emotions and physical activity in older people. To do so, an ethnographic approach was carried out over nine months in the communes of San Joaquín and Ñuñoa, where data were collectedthrough field notes, observations and interviews. The stories and life experiences of 40 older people (10men and 30 women, including two instructors of classes for older people) were used. The main resultsindicate that inequalities in access to safe and adequate spaces significantly affect the perception of safety, convenience or not of leaving home, and general well-being, which in turn conditions participation in physical activities. Here, we analyse specific examples that may help design more inclusive and accessible urban environments, thereby promoting older people’s well-being and quality of life.
Producción psicosocial del espacio públicoe n la acción colectiva antirrepresiva
Authors: Roldán Macarena
Published: February 2025

This study analyses the production of psychosocial meanings around the central space of the city of Córdoba, Argentina, from the perspective of young people who mobilize in an anti-repressive collective action called Marcha de la Gorra. This action denounces the material and sensitive regulation that police surveillance operates on certain bodies (especially, youth from popular sectors), which has the effect of inhibiting or blocking the free habitation of public space. The research objective was twofold: I- to understand, from a psychosocial perspective, how the socio-spatial segregation operated by selective police control proceeds and, at the same time, II- to recognize the subjective and spatial meanings produced by the irruption of collective action in the disputed space. For this, a qualitative approach was used, supported by the ethnographic record in the mobilization and qualitative interviews with young participants (in-depth interviews and conversation-in-march). As this is a long-term study, conducted between 2014 and 2022, more than 60 young people, aged between 16 and 31, who participated in the collective action under analysis, were interviewed. Among the main findings, it was identified that the psychosocial production of public space in the sphere of collective action is expressed in three dimensions: artistic interventions in the street, the embodiment of protest and the collectivization of the conflict.

The aim was to decreasechemical fertilizer use and improve soil carbon sequestration. Replacing 50 % chemicalnitrogen fertilizer with organic fertilizer can inhibit the mineralization oforganic carbon in yellow paddy soil by increasing the active organic carboncomponents（科学假设）. Four fertilization treatments (no fertilization, conventionalfertilization, 50% organic fertilization and 50% chemical nitrogen fertilization,and organic fertilization instead of chemical nitrogen addition) were used toinvestigate the effects of using organic fertilizer instead of chemicalfertilizer on soil organic carbon mineralization and active organic carboncomponents in paddy fields. The soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, availablephosphorus, and available potassium contents were markedly higher for theorganic fertilizer treatment than the no fertilization treatment. The cumulative soil organic carbon mineralization rates forall treatments decreased during the incubation period, decreasing strongly inthe early stage (2–5d), slightly in the middle stage (5–26d), and stabilizingin the later stage (26–60d). The ROC, dissolved organic carbon, and MBC contentswere in 24.46%, 55.45%, and 17.60% higher, respectively, before and 19.34%,74.98%, and 66.83%, respectively, after mineralization for 50% organicfertilization than no fertilization. The active carbon component contents werelower after each treatment, and the ROC content decreased the most. Thecumulative soil organic carbon mineralization rate and MBC content before andafter mineralization significantly negatively correlated. In summary, replacing50% of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer inhibited soil organiccarbon mineralization, which would improve carbon sequestration andfertilization. ROC and MBC were the main organic carbon sources mineralized

A Didática da História e a Guerra Fria nas histórias em quadrinhos do Lanterna Verde (1987)
Authors: Santos Luís Eduardo dos , Brandão Leonardo
Published: February 2025

As Histórias em Quadrinhos podem exercer grande influência na consciência de seus leitores, assim, temos como objetivo relacionar o papel das Histórias em Quadrinhos com os conceitos de “Didática da História” e “consciência histórica” desenvolvidos por estudiosos do campo. Utiliza-se de histórias da editora norte-americana DC Comics, na série The Green Lantern Corps, datadas de 1987 e posteriormente no Brasil em 1988, publicadas durante o período da Guerra Fria, período de embate indireto entre os Estados Unidos e a União Soviética. Busca-se compreender a “consciência histórica” criada sobre a figura da União Soviética e seu sistema político-econômico dentro do contexto dos super-heróis da publicação. A pesquisa foi feita com os conceitos propostos no campo de estudo da Didática da História, como a identidade coletiva e o mito de origem, vinculados pela utilização de símbolos e obras em determinados contextos, assim como por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas e análise da HQ supracitada. A investigação ocorreu voltada para como esse imaginário maniqueísta contra a URSS pode ter sido desenvolvido por meio de um espaço informal de aprendizagem, sendo esse as Histórias em Quadrinhos. A conclusão é a de que as publicações são plausíveis de conter um viés nacionalista, pautados em uma demonização do bloco político-econômico rival

Authors: Catarino Késsia Evangelista , Zaganelli Margareth Vetis
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo tem por fito analisar a reforma do Código de Direito Canônico proposta pela carta apostólica "Motu Proprio", assinada pelo Papa Francisco no dia 15 de agosto de 2015, Solenidade da Assunção de Nossa Senhora, e publicada pelo Vaticano no dia 08 de setembro de 2015, Festa da Natividade de Nossa Senhora: “Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus” (Senhor Jesus, manso juiz), sobre as modificações do processo de nulidade matrimonial. A reforma busca tornar os procedimentos dos tribunais eclesiásticos mais ágeis para os fiéis, alinhando-os com as demandas pastorais contemporâneas, facilitando o acesso e a compreensão dos processos de nulidade matrimonial, e garantindo maior celeridade e equidade nos julgamentos. A relevância deste estudo reside na contribuição para uma compreensão aprofundada das transformações do Direito Canônico, no tocante à nulidade matrimonial, e seu impacto na vida dos fiéis e na prática jurídica eclesiástica. Para tanto, a análise será conduzida sob uma abordagem dedutiva, alicerçada na legislação em vigência e na literatura jurídica.
Os elementos probatórios em casos de assédio moral contra professores: análise da Jurisprudência do TRT da 24ª Região
Authors: Pinheiro Priscila Tinelli
Published: February 2025

O assédio moral é um dos tipos de violência que podem ser observados dentro do ambiente de trabalho e que ocasiona prejuízos não só para a vítima, como também para a sociedade, o que se evidencia com a judicialização. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a ocorrência do assédio envolvendo docentes nas instituições de ensino, busca apresentar os aspectos conceituais e o modo como ocorre, além de identificar os sujeitos dessa relação abusiva e as suas consequentes variações. Utilizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica e análise da jurisprudência do TRT da 24ª Região, Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul, a fim de traçar um paralelo entre a doutrina e os casos concretos de professores. Como principais resultados, estabeleceu-se uma relação entre os tipos de provas mais eficientes para a comprovação da relação do assédio, além das decisões favoráveis para a comprovação de indenização a título de dano moral para a vítima.
A corrupção real e a sua percepção como instrumento político: em memória dos 10 anos da operação lava jato no Brasil
Authors: Coltro Rafael Khalil
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo compõe a apresentação parcial de uma pesquisa mais ampla, que visa aprofundar a compreensão a respeito do fenômeno da corrupção, e especialmente, da percepção da corrupção. Apresenta uma abordagem teórica que visa, em um primeiro momento, demonstrar a existência de muitas variáveis a respeito de variáveis que devem ser consideradas para mensurar os níveis de corrupção em um determinado local, o que pode alterar a percepção cognoscível a respeito do que se pretende exprimir ao utilizar-se a termologia “corrupção”, apresentando, sem a pretensão de esgotar a discussão, um conceito basilar capaz de traduzir um significado adequado ao termo. Além disso, o trabalho pretende elucidar que a percepção da corrupção nem sempre é natural e reflete a corrupção em si, estando suscetível à manipulação e a interferências políticas, trazendo como case de estudo a operação Lava-Jato, ocorrida no Brasil a partir de 2014, que foi inspirada na operação Mãos-Limpas italiana. Ao final, o artigo apresenta algumas das consequências econômicas da Lava-jato, além de hipóteses que justificam essas consequências, que podem variar desde uma eventual inépcia das autoridades até um verdadeiro desvirtuamento do combate à corrupção em prol de interesses políticos escusos.
Controle judicial do ato político
Authors: Ferreira Olavo Augusto Vianna Alves , Rocha Matheus Lins
Published: February 2025

O ato político se relaciona com a discricionariedade em decisões dos Poderes Legislativo e Executivo imprescindíveis para a o exercício das funções do Estado brasileiro. A partir da maior incidência da jurisdição constitucional, verifica-se a possibilidade de o controle das Leis e atos normativos contrários às disposições constitucionais. Entretanto, ainda há uma contradição insolúvel no que se refere à possibilidade da aplicação do referido controle, quando analisados os entendimentos do Supremo Tribunal Federal e de grande parte da doutrina. Verifica-se, portanto, a possibilidade e a necessidade de utilização do controle de constitucionalidade, tendo como objeto os atos políticos, com o objetivo de promover a proteção dos direitos fundamentais. Para isso, é analisado o conceito do ato político e é discutida a aplicação da teoria da tripartição do exercício do poder. Discute-se, ademais, o escorço histórico do controle dos atos políticos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, extraindo-se as teorias dominantes divergentes, para que se possibilite a verificação da teoria mais adequada no que se refere à proteção dos direitos fundamentais, empregando o método dedutivo.

Deep learning shows great promise for seismic parameter inversion, but its success hinges on large, high-quality datasets, which are often scarce in this field. To address this, we propose a novel method for constructing a subsurface parameter model, which can be used to build a training dataset. Our approach leverages kernel density estimation to capture the distribution characteristics and inherent relationships between P-, S-wave velocity, and density. We then use the Metropolis–Hastings sampling algorithm to generate reference points and apply transformations to create realistic parameter models. By constructing parameter models based on actual data distributions, this method inherently avoids the inclusion of abnormal samples, making it particularly beneficial for training inversion neural networks. Unlike conventional approaches that focus on single-velocity influences, our method considers the interplay between multiple parameters, resulting in a more realistic representation. This approach effectively addresses data scarcity, mitigates data leakage, and provides a robust foundation for deep-learning-based inversion.

Background: Neonatal anaemia is a public health problem associated with short- and long-term morbidities. It can lead to death if not immediately treated or impairment in brain maturation and development, tissue hypoxia and stunted growth eventually. The aim and objectives of the study is to determine prevalence, associated factors and immediate outcomes of neonatal anaemia in the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UNIMEDTH), Akure.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of the medical records of all consecutive neonatal admissions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the hospital over a nine-month period. At admission, peripheral blood sample was collected routinely within one hour of life for Packed Cell Volume at the side laboratory. Other relevant data were extracted from the case files and documented in the excel sheet which were exported unto the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 for analysis.
Results: Of the 145 babies studied, 30 were anaemic with one mortality; 132 (91.1%) of them were admitted within 24 hours of life, the commonest morbidity among them was prematurity, ABO incompatibility, neonatal sepsis and anaemia.  Caesarean delivery, very low birth weight, longer duration on admission, prematurity and lower gestational age were significantly associated with neonatal anaemia while gender was not.
Conclusions: The prevalence of anaemia among neonates in UNIMEDTH was 20.7%. The mortality was 3.3% and the only death occurred among babies with feto-placental transfusion.

Background: Occupational therapy (OT) plays a critical role in rehabilitation by addressing both physical and psychological challenges, fostering mental resilience, and supporting professional re-entry for individuals recovering from disabilities or illnesses. This study evaluated the impact of OT on mental resilience and professional re-entry among individuals undergoing rehabilitation at the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2023 to July 2024, involving 150 participants recruited through purposive sampling. Standardized tools were used to assess mental resilience (resilience scale), employment readiness, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with OT services. Data were collected via structured questionnaires, interviews, and therapist records. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic data and therapy outcomes, while chi-square tests, paired t-tests, and logistic regression were used to analyse associations between OT interventions and mental resilience or professional re-entry.
Results: The study observed a significant improvement in mental resilience, with 65% of participants transitioning to moderate or high resilience levels post-therapy. Employment readiness increased by 40%, with 55% successfully re-entering the workforce. Quality of life scores improved in 78% of participants, and 85% expressed satisfaction with OT services. Regression analysis identified mental resilience, self-efficacy, and social support as strong predictors of successful professional re-entry (p<0.05).
Conclusions: OT interventions demonstrated a significant positive impact on mental resilience, quality of life, and employment outcomes. However, persistent barriers such as workplace accessibility and psychological challenges were noted. The findings underscore the need for integrated OT approaches to address these barriers and support holistic rehabilitation.
Study of the prescription pattern of antidiabetics in hypertension with diabetes patients in geriatric population at tertiary care centre: a retrospective observational study

Published: February 2025

Background: In India, the elderly population is particularly affected with diabetes and hypertension which is prevalent in this population, leading to complex health challenges, necessitating effective treatment strategies. This study aimed to analyze the prescription patterns of antidiabetic drugs in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension at a tertiary care center.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the government medical college, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, from March 2023 to March 2024. Prescriptions of patients aged 60 years and above, diagnosed with both diabetes and hypertension, were analyzed.
Results: A total of 649 prescriptions were reviewed, with 58.71% of patients being male and 41.29% female. The majority (72.73%) were in the 60-70 age group. Metformin was the most prescribed drug (49.10%), followed by sulfonylureas, particularly glimepiride (30.04%). Combination therapy was the most common treatment approach, with 69.65% of patients receiving two-drug regimens, and 12.02% on three-drug regimens. The most frequent combination was metformin + glimepiride (79.42%). A small proportion (0.92%) received more than three drugs. Generic prescriptions dominated (99.22%), and nearly 89.80% drugs were from the WHO-EML 2023. The average number of drugs per prescription was 1.96.
Conclusions: The study highlights metformin as the predominant treatment for elderly patients with diabetes and hypertension, with a strong preference for generic medications and combination therapies. These findings underscore the importance of ongoing evaluation of prescribing patterns to optimize treatment strategies for geriatric patients.

Background: Hypertension is a growing concern in young adults, yet most studies focus on the elderly. Investigating its prevalence and risk factors in younger populations can enable timely interventions to prevent long-term complications. Medical students, facing academic stress and lifestyle changes, are particularly vulnerable. This study assessed hypertension prevalence and blood pressure variations across four academic phases.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among 499 medical students aged 18–27 from four academic phases. Participants were selected through multi-stage sampling, and demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data were collected. Blood pressure was measured using an Omron HBP-1320 device, validated per ANSI/AAMI/ISO and ESH IP2 protocols, with classification based on AHA guidelines. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, chi-squared tests, and Spearman’s correlation.
Results: Median age increased from 20 years in phase 1 to 23 in phase 4. Mean BMI rose from 22.07±4.01 kg/m² to 23.51±4.67 kg/m². Systolic blood pressure increased across phases but was not statistically significant (p=0.223). Diastolic pressure rose significantly (p=0.011), with hypertension prevalence escalating from 19.5% to 41.2%. Males exhibited higher SBP, DBP, and pulse pressure (p<0.001). Positive correlations were observed between age, BMI, and blood pressure.
Conclusion: The study highlights a rising trend in stage 1 hypertension and diastolic pressure with academic progression, likely due to stress and lifestyle changes. Males had higher blood pressure levels. Early interventions targeting modifiable risk factors are essential to prevent long-term complications.
