Role of Physical Therapy in Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Ahmad Shahbaz
Published: December 2024

Physical therapists have a key role to play in the treatment and recovery of patients admitted to intensive care. This editorial will address the significance of physical therapy for the patients needing intrusive mechanical ventilation, including a review of widely used treatments. Evidence encourages the adoption of early and organized intervention services to improve recovery rate and successful early mobilization in order to prevent deteriorating complications and functional limitations. The techniques for this purpose may include  early retraining of both peripheral and respiratory muscles.1 Neurological and Musculoskeletal acute diseases are widespread, depending upon their severity they may lead to considerable deterioration of physical activity and life quality. Although the etiology of intensive care unit developed disability is multifactorial, both direct (i.e. serious disorder neuromyopathy) and indirectly (i.e. disuse atrophy and immobility) symptoms of severe illness lead to it. It is difficult to diagnose disability developed in ICU during the initial phase of life-threatening illness because of deep sedation, delirium, encephalopathy which impairs the physical examination of strength of patient. The basic effect of early rehabilitation in the severely ill chronic condition is not yet tested in clinical trials. A variety of clinical findings however advocate intensive therapy of severely ventilated patients. Further, there is a need for multi-center, randomized trials to assess possible short-term and long-term effects from early mobility, including power to reduce the need for longer respiratory support and/or chronic disease development and other novelties, to demonstrate the safety, feasibility and potential benefit of early mobility in critical illnesses. Moreover, in medical or other ICUs, the efficacy, efficiency and barriers while advocating early mobility therapy in chronic illness was not previously addressed hence leaving a large research gap.2 After a patient referred to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), diagnosed with respiratory dysfunction and other symptoms, it could lead to needless immobilization consequently increasing the risk of post immobilization complications. Nevertheless, no study reported whether the exercise or movement therapy was continued later on or not after relocation of patient from ICU to hospital ward.3  This limitation in literature highlight the need to conduct randomized trials addressing the rehabilitation efficacy on patients admitted in ICU of a hospital.

The study equipment consisted of a standardized questionnaire with demographic variables, the number of computer use hours per day, type of computer, chair, VAS and NDI questionnaires.
Results: Out of the 216 participants (the mean age 30.42±6.962 years), 115 (53.2%) were females, and 101 (46.8%) were males. The result showed that 18.5% of computer users rated their pain as mild, 27.8% rated moderate, and 37.5% were severe. A positive relationship among the duration of computer use and taking a break during work with VAS and NDI was found. At the same time, there was a negative relationship between the type of chair and system use with VAS and NDI.
Conclusion: A substantial positive relationship between neck pain & functional disability with the duration of computer use. As the duration of work increases, neck pain and functional disability increase.
EFFECTS OF LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY IN ADDITION TO CONSTRAINT-INDUCED MOVEMENT THERAPY ON MOTOR FUNCTION AND SPASTICITY IN ADULTS WITH HEMIPLEGIC STROKE
Authors: Khawar Hafiza Hooria , Sagheer Mehwish
Published: December 2024

Pakistan lacks concrete evidence of the stroke-affected population based on data, and the disease is likely to prevail in the coming time, owing to the lack of ensuing prevention programs for the risk factors of stroke.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the combined efficaciousness of LLLT and constraint-induced movement therapy on motor function and spasticity in the upper extremity of adults with hemiplegic stroke.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Randomized controlled trial was performed, which included 76 participants aged between 30-70 years old. Participants were randomly allotted to Group A (controlled group), which received constraint-induced movement therapy, and Group B (experimental group), which received constraint-induced movement therapy protocol for the upper limb with additional low-level laser therapy (Omega XP Laser (Pen Probe Blue, 820nm, 200mW) on acupuncture points GB39, LI4, LI11, GB34. The modified Ashworth Scale was used for determining the spasticity, and Motor Activity Log was used to assess motor function, which included two scales i.e. Amount scale (How much) and HW Scale (how well). Data were analyzed by SPSS 22.
RESULTS: Mean age of the subjects were 51.50±8.196. The results involving the gender of subjects exhibited that there were 36.8% males and 63.2% females in Group A and 44.7% females, and 55.3% males in group B. Spasticity at baseline was recorded by MAS, and found the mean and standard deviation were 2.6579±0.8146 and 2.7895±0.7410. Spasticity after 2 weeks via MAS was measured, and scores were recorded to be 1.6053±0.3517 and 1.8026±0.3773. Spasticity at 4 weeks was assessed, and the results came out as 1.118±0.2447 and 1.0526±0.1555. Motor function at baseline by MAL-30 was measured, and results manifested the mean and standard deviation as 0.7447±0.1083 and 0.7263±0.1057. Results of motor function at 2 weeks exhibited 1.721±0.2732 and 1.865±0.1361. Motor function at 4 weeks was recorded and showed 2.576±0.2198 and 2.671±0.1522.
CONCLUSION: It was a significant decrease in spasticity and improvement in motor function by using LLLT combined with Constraint-induced movement therapy. However, the results of the patients only treated by CIMT were insignificant. Hence, LLLT and CIMT positively affect stroke patients by reducing spasticity and improving motor function.

Authors: Скобелев Владимир Петрович
Published: December 2024

Во введении отмечено, что процедура принятия судами мер по обеспечению исполнения исполнительных документов страдает рядом недостатков, которые не были устранены в результате последних корректировок процессуального законодательства и которые недостаточно освещаются в научной литературе. Цель работы состоит в выявлении соответствующих недостатков правового регулирования и выработке предложений по их преодолению, в том числе в контексте положений Кодекса гражданского судопроизводства Республики Беларусь. Новизна работы обусловлена отсутствием в отечественной науке публикаций, посвященных всесторонней разработке обозначенных проблемных вопросов. В основной части работы показано, что в вопросах принятия судами мер по обеспечению исполнения исполнительного документа не разграничены предметы ведения между гражданским и хозяйственным судопроизводством, а также не урегулирована территориальная подсудность органов правосудия. Обосновано также, что требуется усовершенствовать регулирование самого порядка рассмотрения судами вопросов принятия, замены, приостановления и отмены обеспечительных мер, а именно уточнить, в какой процессуальной форме должны рассматриваться данные вопросы (с проведением судебного заседания или без), с участием каких субъектов и т.д. В статье аргументированы и некоторые
другие положения, в частности, о корректировке наименования отдельных статей процессуальных кодексов, об изменении порядка исполнения определения суда о применении обеспечительной меры и пр. В заключении подведены итоги исследования, в том числе в сжатой форме перечислены предложения

Правовая природа совмещения работы с получением образования
Authors: Колодинская Ирина Викторовна
Published: December 2024

Во введении указан объект исследования – связанные с трудовыми общественные отношения между нанимателем и работниками, складывающиеся в области реализации последними права на труд и права на образование. Целью исследования является определение правовой природы совмещения работы с получением образования как отдельного явления в системе права. Научная новизна работы заключена в том, что в доктрине трудового права вопросу правовой природы совмещения работы с получением образования уделяется внимание практически впервые. В основной части в целях уяснения правовой природы совмещения работы с получением образования внимание обращено на понятие «совмещение».
Отмечено, что вопрос о сущности совмещения в трудовом праве в отличие от совместительства, с которым специалисты его достаточно часто сравнивают, остается открытым. Рассмотрены основные подходы ученых-правоведов и практических работников относительно содержания совмещения. Сделан вывод, что среди специалистов нет единства мнений относительно содержания рассматриваемого понятия.
Путем определения специфических признаков правовых явлений сделан вывод о наличии в трудовом праве двух самостоятельных видов совмещения. Посредством системного анализа положений ТК сделано утверждение, что в отличие от совмещения должностей служащих (профессий рабочих) определение понятия «совмещение работы с получением образования» на законодательном уровне отсутствует.
Выдвинуто предположение, что отсутствие определения «совмещение работы с получением образования» могло послужить причиной непонимания на доктринальном уровне понятия совмещения. Предложено закрепление понятия «совмещение работы с получением образования» на законодательном уровне.
Обозначается значимость анализируемых отношений и их правовой регламентации. В заключении сформулированы основные выводы и внесены конкретные предложения по совершенствованию законодательства Республики Беларусь в сфере совмещения работы с получением образования.
Полученные результаты исследования могут быть использованы научными и практическими работниками, преподавателями, а также всеми, кто интересуется затронутыми в статье вопросами.
"Родительские" преступления: зарубежный опыт уголовно-правовой оценки
Authors: Козелецкая Наталья Ивановна
Published: December 2024

Во введении указан объект исследования – общественные отношения в области установления
и реализации международных уголовно-правовых норм, предусматривающих ответственность за преступления, субъектом которых являются родители или иные лица, на которых возложены обязанности по воспитанию несовершеннолетнего. В качестве предмета исследования выступают
нормы отечественного и зарубежного уголовного законодательства стран бывшего СССР, связанные
с регулированием отношений в указанной области, а также соответствующие научные источники по данной проблеме. Цель исследования – выявить особенности, преимущества и недостатки уголовного законодательства стран ближнего зарубежья и сформулировать соответствующие выводы
и предложения. В основной части на основе сравнительного анализа уголовно-правовых норм, научных взглядов и представлений детально проанализированы нормативные положения, призванные противодействовать преступлениям в сфере семейно-бытовых отношений. Исследование зарубежного уголовного законодательства показывает, что каждое государство использует свой уникальный набор уголовно-правовых инструментов для борьбы с насилием в отношении несовершеннолетних членов семьи. Дифференциация ответственности осуществляется либо путем конструирования основного состава преступления, либо включения квалифицирующих признаков, подчеркивающих родственные связи между преступником и потерпевшим. Новизна исследования заключена в получении нового
знания в контексте сравнительно-правового исследования зарубежного законодательства, позволяющего повысить эффективность уголовно-правовых средств противодействия преступлениям в семейно-бытовой
сфере. Полученные в ходе исследования результаты могут быть использованы в образовательном процессе учреждений образования, обеспечивающих получение высшего юридического образования, а также в нормотворческой деятельности.

Published: December 2024

Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition that disrupts children growth, characterized by child's height being lower or shorter than their age standard. The current nutritional situation of people in Indonesia still less than encouraging, this is due to various nutritional problems such as malnutrition, stunting, lack of vitamin A, iron/zinc anemia deficiency, obesity which are still widespread throughout the country. One of indirect factors that causing this condition is mother's knowledge about nutrition in toddlers. This research aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge about nutrition for toddlers and stunting incidence in Angsokah Village, Sampang. The research method used is descriptive, correlational, retrospective type. The population are mothers of stunting toddlers  2-5 years in Angsokah, Sampang with  sample for about 22 people. The knowledge of data was taken by using a multiple choice questionnaire. The level of stunting was measured by measuring body height that is compared to age. The level of relationship was analyzed using the chi-square statistical test with a significance level of  α = 0.05. The research results showed that there is a relationship between maternal knowledge about nutrition and the incidence of stunting as shown by the p-value of 0.048, it means that there is a relationship between maternal knowledge about nutrition and the incidence of stunting. Several efforts are needed to increase the knowledge about toddler nutrition among mothers, for example education about the importance of quantity and quality of food in fulfilling children's nutrition and creating a balanced nutritious food menu.

Published: December 2024

O ensino e aprendizagem de genética muitas vezes é tido como algo difícil e complexo por ser abstrato e demasiado denso, visto isso este trabalho investiga a eficácia de abordagens lúdicas no ensino de clonagem e transgênese, com o objetivo de proporcionar o ensino-aprendizagem para alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública estadual através de modelos e jogos didáticos. A pesquisa foi realizada com 25 alunos do terceiro ano do ensino médio, onde as atividades foram divididas em três blocos: uma aula sobre clonagem, uma sobre transgênese e, por fim, a aplicação de um jogo de tabuleiro. A sequência didática foi cuidadosamente planejada para introduzir os conceitos de clonagem e transgênese de forma clara e acessível, onde os alunos foram expostos a uma variedade de informações, incluindo a definição, suas aplicações e implicações éticas, fazendo uso dos modelos didáticos. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de questionários aplicados antes e após as atividades, permitindo avaliar a evolução do conhecimento dos alunos. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos estudantes conseguiu descrever os conceitos de clonagem e transgênese após as aulas e 22 deles relataram que os modelos didáticos contribuíram para uma melhor visualização e entendimento dos conteúdos e que o jogo de tabuleiro estava alinhado com os conceitos abordados. Os achados permitem inferir que a integração de jogos e modelos didáticos é uma estratégia eficaz para engajar os alunos e promover um aprendizado mais profundo e duradouro em genética.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo ten por obxectivo describir o funcionamento e a estrutura dos principais pragmatemas empregados en kíkôngò, lingua bantú falada en Angola, Congo-Kinshasa, Congo- Brazzaville e Gabón. Para isto, recompiláronse máis de noventa pragmatemas empregados en expresións de saúdo e agradecemento, para expresar desexos, escusas, ordes ou súplicas, en interxeccións, prohibicións ou insultos, para despedirse, como toma de contacto, para pedir permiso e para lanzar cumprimentos. No que respecta ao seu funcionamento, chegouse á conclusión de que a metade dos pragmatemas preséntanse en formas verbais; outro 30 %, en locucións (verbais, nominais, adxectivas, adverbiais, pronominais, preposicionais e interxectivas) e o 20 % restante, en deverbais, interxeccións e outros termos primitivos. En termos de estrutura, existen pragmatemas tanto monolexicais como polilexicais, mentres que outros constitúen unidades frásticas. Os monolexicais, como yoyo (‘adeus’) ou nkenda (‘piedade’), representan o 25 % do total dos pragmatemas. A mesma porcentaxe abrangue os polilexicais, como kana ngi, kana nga (‘como actuar en caso de emerxencia?’) ou mankaka nkanu (‘tabú’). O 50 % restante corresponde aos pragmatemas frásticos, como ka mantadidi ko! (‘dáme igual’) ou kala ye ngangu (‘estate atento ou atenta’). Estes resultados amosan que, en xeral, os pragmatemas en kíkôngò son unidades frásticas empregadas en situacións moi concretas e que resultan familiares a todos os individuos interlocutores.
Metafraseoloxía no ámbito croata

Published: December 2024

O obxectivo da presente contribución é ofrecer un breve panorama da terminoloxía fraseolóxica en croata. Partindo da historia das investigacións fraseolóxicas en Croacia, os autores intentan reunir os principais termos que se refiren tanto ás disciplinas como as súas unidades de estudo. Ademais, extráense e recompílanse ditos termos de diversas fontes e establécense equivalencias terminolóxicas entre croata, español e galego. As discrepancias que se atopan entre estes idiomas por unha parte son debidas ás distintas tradicións nas que se apoian os estudos fraseolóxicos, así como ós distintos camiños que toman as investigacións e, por outra, a diferenzas tipolóxicas entre as linguas románicas e eslavas que impiden a formación de certos compostos.

Published: December 2024

The Student Training and Resource (STaR) Network at Montgomery College (MC) is an innovative initiative designed to provide comprehensive professional development opportunities to students. Launched by the Office of E-Learning Innovation and Teaching Excellence (ELITE), the STaR Network aims to equip students with essential skills needed for career readiness, supporting their academic and professional growth. Funded by an MC Foundation Innovation grant in 2023 with $11,000, the program’s primary goal is to prepare students for future employment. In particular it aims to enhance students’ essential skills including communication, leadership, and teamwork, in alignment with the National Association of Colleges and Employer’s career readiness competencies.
Initially aimed at student employees, the program was expanded to all MC students due to high demand and regulatory limitations affecting Federal work-study employment. Professional development is crucial for students as it bridges the gap between academic knowledge and practical workplace skills. It ensures that students are prepared to work in diverse teams and can thrive in professional environments. This training helps students develop essential skills highly valued by employers. Additionally, it builds confidence and encourages a proactive approach to career development. This paper explores the program’s structure, key themes, measurable outcomes, and impact on student success while highlighting the essential skills necessary for career readiness.
Student-Generated Connections to Chemistry Content to Enhance Interest in Introductory Chemistry
Authors: Hands Michael
Published: December 2024

Research on motivation has shown that students perform better when they perceive utility-value in their course. Utility-value is a domain of motivation that is reflective of the perceived importance or usefulness of a task for accomplishing future goals. In this study, students in a community college introductory chemistry course were tasked with writing about how certain chemistry concepts were related to their future careers throughout the semester to potentially increase their perceived utility-value of the course. In comparison to a control group, these students had higher overall course grades, found chemistry more interesting, and the course material more useful. The impact on motivation seemed to be larger for underrepresented minority students when compared to white students.
Impact of Selected Teaching Techniques on Exam Performance in Business Law
Authors: Faith Timothy
Published: December 2024

This study compared traditional methods of college-level instruction, including lecture and class discussion followed by assessment via course content exams, with a variety of other instructional techniques. The intent was to evaluate whether more contemporary instructional techniques are significantly correlated with improved average exam scores for students in a business law course at a large, mid-Atlantic community college. The author found that certain techniques, such as plickers (where students respond with a unique QR code to multiple choice questions presented on screen), were effective. A combination of an open educational resource textbook with fewer content items spread across more exams coupled with journaling (where students were invited to reflect through writing on course content at various times during the course) also yielded significantly improved exam scores. Conversely, the use of practice exams and Kahoots! was related to a significant decline in average exam scores. Assigning more homework was also negatively correlated with performance on exams. However, the percentage of homework assignments completed by students was significantly related to exam performance, which may be an indirect method to measure student motivation to do well in the course.

The gap between evidence and clinical practice has been in the focus of researches for decades. Although successful implementation means the new knowledge must work in particular environments, it doesn’t mean that the entire process should exclusively be executed by the individual institutes. This is the point where we assumed that an intermediate step, the “general good practice”, could help to ensure that translation is done in a more professional way. The development of the general good practice methodology was based on our infinitE model, which organized the factors of successful translation into an evidence-editing-embedding-effect on practice framework, using tools from the disciplines of Evidence-Based Medicine, Quality Improvement and Change Management. The methodology organised the editing and embedding part of the development into a process involving three full-day sessions carried out with different health professionals, experts and moderators. After pilot testing, it was finalized and applied to other topics as well. The methodology presented in detail in this paper, centred on flow chart, process analysis, failure mode identification and Kotter’s 8-step model. Beside the pilot topic of the institutional process of resuscitation, the methodology has also proved applicable to more than ten other topics, meaning that at least all the core elements of the proposed bundle of general good practice have been produced in the development process. Compared to the guidelines, general good practices demonstrate the evidence in operation, helping to develop workflows, responsibilities, documentation, trainings, etc. and can also be a starting point for the digitalisation of care processes. The next step is to examine how healthcare institutions can build on these in their own editing and embedding activities, and what the results will be. Further studies could explore the applicability of the development methodology in different healthcare systems or at different levels of maturity in terms of quality.
Audit ellenőrzőlista kidolgozása a gasztroenterológiai endoszkópos vizsgálóhelyek higiénés értékelésére
Authors: Varga Beatrix , Kovács Aranka Katalin , Safadi Heléna
Published: December 2024

Az endoszkópos beavatkozások során különböző útvonalakon keresztül lehetséges a fertőzés átvitele. Az érvényben lévő eszköztisztítási-és fertőtlenítési folyamatok betartásával, egyszerhasználatos tartozékok használatával, a vizsgálóhelyiségek dezinficiálásával és a megfelelő szintű egyéni védőeszközök használatával a fertőzés veszélye minimálisra csökkenthető. Mindezek ellenére a gasztrointesztinális endoszkópiával összefüggő fertőzések az endoszkópok használata óta előfordulnak. A nemzetközi és hazai irányelveknek megfelelő, az infekciókontroll rendszabályok betartásának ellenőrzését segítő, a klinikai auditvizsgálatok során alkalmazható általános ellenőrzőlista készítését tűztük ki célul járóbeteg-ellátók számára. A nemzetközi és hazai szakirodalmi ajánlások, irányelvek kutatását követően, azok összehasonlításával egy egészségügyi szakemberekből álló munkacsoport (higiénikus főorvos, gasztroenterológus szakorvosok, vezető endoszkópos szakasszisztens, népegészségügyi ellenőr) az infekciókontroll tevékenység ellenőrzésére szolgáló audit ellenőrzőlistát és a kitöltését segítő útmutatót hozott létre. Az ellenőrzőlista 6 fő szakaszból áll: általános adatok, módszerek, személyzet, szempontrendszer, összegzés, és visszajelzés. A szempontrendszer szakasz 10 fő kérdéscsoportból áll, melyek az endoszkópos egységek infekciókontroll tevékenységét foglalják össze: 1. irányelvek és eljárások, 2. oktatás és képzés, 3. fizikai környezet, 4. tisztítási eljárások, 5. magas szintű fertőtlenítés, 6. sterilizátorok és automatizált endoszkóp-újrafeldolgozó berendezések, 7. endoszkópok tárolása, 8. endoszkóp szállítás, 9. nyilvántartás, 10. munkahelyi egészségvédelem és biztonság. Az egyes kérdéscsoportok összesen 158 értékelési kritériumot rögzítenek. Az ellenőrzőlista egyértelmű, pontos kitöltése és a hatékony klinikai audit lefolytatása érdekében egy rövid útmutató készítésére is sor került. A szakértői munkacsoport által kidolgozott ellenőrzőlista széleskörűen lefedi az endoszkópiával kapcsolatos infekciókontroll tevékenységet, miközben nemcsak a nemzetközi irányelvek elvárásainak felel meg, hanem a hazai szabályozási környezethez is illeszkedik. Alkalmazhatósága a jövőben egy tesztelési fázissal, valamint egy véglegesített kitöltési útmutatóval növelhető, ezáltal effektív támogatást nyújtva az egészségügyi szolgáltatók számára a módszeres klinikai auditvizsgálatok kivitelezéséhez és minőségértékelési tevékenységeik elmélyítéséhez. Ösztönözni kell a hazai egészségügyi szolgáltatókat a minőségügyi rendszerek kidolgozására és bevezetésére, valamint arra, hogy a klinikai auditvizsgálatok a minőségfejlesztési tevékenységük szerves részét képezze.

Analysis of the top-down and bottom-up effects on zooplankton biomass in eutrophic Lake Yeniçağa
Authors: Sorguç Bura Uğur , Saygı Yasemin
Published: December 2024

Several aquatic ecological studies have focused on the contrasting effects of top-down and bottom-up interactions on zooplankton communities. It is essential to comprehend the relative strength of these interactions to evaluate the trophic interactions of pelagic food webs, an area that is still extensively researched due to its complexity. Therefore, we examined the biomass of zooplankton over a one-year period in a freshwater lake that is subject to multiple stressors such as anthropogenic activities, eutrophication. Top-down effects, namely fish biomass, and bottom-up effects, including total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a concentrations were considered. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to evaluate the relative impact of top-down and bottom-up effects on zooplankton. The SEM analysis revealed that zooplankton is influenced by both top-down and bottom-up effects in Lake Yeniçağa. The biomass of cladocerans was found to have a negative correlation with increasing chlorophyll a, while the Calanoida group was negatively affected by both fish biomass and chlorophyll a from top-down and bottom-up controls. The fish biomass had a positive effect on both Cyclopoida and Rotifera, but only Rotifera showed a negative interaction with chlorophyll a. Direct bottom-up effects of total phosphorus and total nitrogen on chlorophyll a were found, with total nitrogen having a stronger interaction than total phosphorus.
