Authors: Feng Chenfeina , Li Rendong , Li Xiaolei , Xu Xinping
Published: September 2024

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related death. Over the past two decades, the classification of lung cancer has significantly evolved. Today, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) consists of various molecular oncogenic subsets that impact both prognosis and disease management. EGFR is the first targeted oncogenic alteration identified in 2004. Since then, nearly two decades of research have enabled scientists to understand its biological function and to identify and often overcome the molecular basis of acquired resistance mechanisms to EGFR-TKIs. This article reviews the role of EGFR in NSCLC and the research progress of EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR mutant lung cancer, discussing potential treatment strategies for drug resistance to improve survival and achieve precision drug use.

Authors: Mu Chengli
Published: September 2024

In aerobics training, closed myocutaneous nerve damage needs to be paid attention to, especially high-intensity training may cause minor damage to muscles and nerves. With the help of AI medical technology and the understanding of molecular and cellular biomechanics, we can more accurately explore the mechanism of injury, such as the effects of nerve tensile stress and microenvironment changes on nerve regeneration. This helps to develop scientific rehabilitation methods, such as AI-assisted personalized training, neural regeneration technology, and real-time monitoring of training intensity to speed up athletes’ rehabilitation and reduce the risk of future injuries. Purpose: Aerobics training is very strict and requires high physical fitness of dancers. During long-term training, dancers can easily cause closed musculocutaneous nerve injury. Traditional medicine is difficult to guarantee the treatment effect of patients with musculocutaneous nerve injury. The use of artificial intelligence medicine for closed musculocutaneous nerve injury treatment can improve the treatment effect of aerobics training induced closed musculocutaneous nerve injury. Method: This article utilized artificial intelligence medicine for the treatment of musculocutaneous nerve injury, and used artificial intelligence technology to analyze patient imaging and other data to assist doctors in accurate diagnosis. Utilize intelligent algorithms to predict medication plans, reduce medication errors, and intelligently adjust the course of treatment based on the patient’s condition. In artificial intelligence healthcare, high-quality online medical services can be created through intelligent technology, providing convenient medical consultation for patients. Result: This article selected 200 patients with musculocutaneous nerve injury caused by aerobics training for grouping experiments. The average diagnostic accuracy of traditional medicine and artificial intelligence medicine were 84.2% and 95.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence medicine can achieve medical informatization and intelligently analyze patients’ medical information, which helps to improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis for aerobics training injuries.

Det er veldokumenteret, at der er stor ulighed i kræftforløb fra diagnose til modtagelse af kræftbehandling, rehabilitering og overlevelse - især blandt lungekræftpatienter, som ofte har svær sygdom, komplekse behov, begrænset socialt netværk og begrænsede sundhedskompetencer. Sygeplejerskenavigation har vist lovende resultater i forhold til at forkorte udredningsforløbet, men vi mangler fortsat viden om hvilken effekt sygeplejenavigation har på symptomer, livskvalitet og overlevelse efter lungekræftdiagnosen er stillet. For at få viden herom og for at adressere uligheden har vi udviklet NAVIGATE interventionen, der som den første af sin slags har til hensigt at forbedre overlevelsen og livskvaliteten for sårbare lungekræftpatienter. NAVIGATE kombinerer samtaler med en navigatorsygeplejerske, støtte til håndtering af symptomer og fysisk træning. Navigatorsygeplejersken bruger teknikker fra den Motiverende Samtale til at støtte den enkelte patient i at gennemføre kræftbehandlingen og i at håndtere symptomer fra sygdom og behandling. Derudover bruges teknikkerne til at støtte patienten i at fortage de forandringer i sundhedsadfærd, som patienten finder relevant. Forud for et randomiseret kontrolleret studie, gennemførte vi en pilotundersøgelse, hvor alle patienter blev tilbudt interventionen. Resultaterne herfra viser vigtigheden af fleksibilitet og tilpasning af både forskningsmetoder og intervention, når sårbare patienter deltager i forskning. Rollen som navigatorsygeplejerske er en stor omstilling fra den vante kliniske praksis, men det er også givende at opleve, hvor stor en forskel man kan gøre for sårbare lungekræftpatienter i et vanskeligt og kompliceret behandlingsforløb, bl.a. ved at have god tid til at lytte og lade patienternes behov være udgangspunkt for samtalerne.

Authors: Heriyanto Meyzi , Febrian Achmad Fajri , Karneli Okta , Sugiarto Meilan , Suryana Dodi
Published: September 2024

The research objective analyzes competitive advantage through small business organizational agility through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capabilities as an effort to increase competitive advantage. This study uses purposive sampling as a data collection technique; meanwhile, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with smartPLS software was employed as the data analysis technique. The data collection method is carried out through survey techniques by distributing questionnaires to respondents with random sampling. The number of 388 small business actors were treated as research respondents. Results showed that ICT capabilities contributed significantly to competitive advantage either directly or through the moderating variable of organizational agility. By integrating ICT as an antecedent variable, further research can focus on the factors determining the transformation of small businesses into medium and large businesses. Additionally, while ICT capability directly affects competitive advantage, its indirect impact, specifically via the business agility variable, is usually smaller. Therefore, business agility strengthens the indirect relationship between ICT capabilities and competitive advantage.

Published: September 2024

The fictitious crime is one of the crimes around which there are still many questions, as it represents criminal behaviour with the perpetrator's imagination only. For instance, for someone who wants to seize money, it turns out that the money belongs to him, which requires more detail and knowledge of the way the Omani legislator organizes this crime.  Accordingly, the article will attempt to answer the research problem represented in knowing the legal implications of the fictitious crime in the Omani legislation. To achieve the objectives of the article, doctrinal legal research methodology using a qualitative approach was adopted. The article came to the conclusion that the fictitious crime is due to illusions based on the naivety and ignorance of the perpetrator and without involving the truth. So that the perpetrator believes that he/she is committing a criminal act, but the law does not punish him. The article also recommended that the Omani legislator stipulates explicitly that the fictitious crime should not be punished by an independent and clear text so that it leads to non-punishment for the act that a person commits with the intent of committing a specific crime, then it becomes clear that this person’s belief to achieve the result is based on his delusion.

The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of the Mentis Plus+ program on the mental health of Anthropology university students at the National University of Altiplano, Puno in Peru. The research was carried out using a quantitative approach with an experimental design, employing a pretest and a posttest. The Positive Mental Health Program for adults was implemented, based on the Lluch Multifactorial Model of Positive Mental Health. The participants were 60 students, divided into an experimental group and a control group, each with 30 participants. The group sessions were implemented systematically and developed over 8 weeks. In the results, before the intervention, both groups, Experimental (E) and Control (C), were in equivalent conditions corroborated with the Mann Whitney U test. After the application of the program, group E showed significant improvements in all dimensions, reaching "Medium" and "High" levels (p = 0.000). In contrast, group C did not show improvements and experienced deteriorations in some dimensions, such as prosocial attitude and self-control. In conclusion, the intervention significantly improved the mental health of the experimental group, while the control group maintained a high prevalence at low levels. These differences underline the positive impact of the Mentis Plus+ program on the mental health of university students.

Peran Psikologi dalam Pendidikan Islam
Authors: Darwin  , Salami  , Mahdhar Muhammad , Nazarullah M
Published: September 2024

The role of psychology in Islamic education is based on the assumption that there are differences in psychology and the socio-cultural background of students. Psychology is here to bridge the different needs of each student so that educational goals are achieved, namely the transfer of knowledge, ethics, and values to them. The application of psychology in Islamic education is inseparable from the three aspects that make up the human self: the physical, the nafsiah, and the spiritual. These three become essential in applying the psychological approach to Islamic education. On these three fundamental aspects, psychology has three critical roles, namely: (1) The role of psychology in Islamic education as a bio-sociopsychic-spiritual; (2) The role of psychology in Islamic education as a form of one's Islamic character; (3) The role of psychology in Islamic education as a form of spirituality.

Peran psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam didasari atas asumsi adanya perbedaan psikologi dan latar belakang sosial budaya peserta didik. Sehingga psikologi hadir untuk menjembatani kebutuhan setiap peserta didik yang berbeda agar tujuan pendidikan tercapai, yaitu transfer pengetahuan, etika dan nilai kepada mereka. Penerapan psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam tidak terlepas dari tiga aspek yang membentuk diri manusia, yaitu aspek jasmaniah, aspek nafsiah dan aspek rohaniah. Ketiganya menjadi acuan dasar dalam menerapkan pendekatan psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam. Atas ketiga aspek dasar tersebut, psikologi memiliki tiga peran penting, yaitu: (1) Peran psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam sebagai bio-sosiopsikis-spiritual; (2) Peran psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam sebagai pembentuk karakter Islam seseorang; (3) Peran Psikologi dalam pendidikan Islam sebagai pembentuk spiritualitas.

Published: September 2024

La nicotina debería ser restringida a su uso terapéutico en las formas de parches, chicles, comprimidos y spray bucal de nicotina con monitorización por un profesional sanitario. La nicotina administrada por dispositivos electrónicos para abandonar el tabaco perpetúa su consumo más allá de seis meses, lo que favorecería a un retorno en el consumo de tabaco. Las acciones de los estados deben ir encaminadas en desnormalizar el consumo de nicotina en sus distintas formas (tabaco, snus y cigarrillo electrónico). Sólo de esta forma se podría poner fin a la epidemia del tabaquismo.

Authors:   Ana Carla Souza Costa, Santini Victoria Ribeiro da Silva
Published: September 2024

This article conducts a comparative analysis of the healthcare systems in the United States and Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS), examining structural and funding differences and their impact on healthcare access and quality. In the U.S., a predominantly private insurance based system supplemented by federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid grapples with challenges in achieving universal coverage and managing high healthcare costs despite the Affordable Care Act reforms. Conversely, Brazil’s SUS, founded on principles of universality and comprehensiveness, faces funding and operational efficiency issues despite significant health indicator improvements. The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the resilience of both systems, underscoring the need for robust and adaptable healthcare frameworks. The study concludes that ongoing dialogue and mutual learning between the systems can inform reforms aimed at enhancing population health and effectively managing health crises.

Turnover and heterogeneity in top management networks - A demographic analysis of two Swedish business groups
Authors: Collin S. , Umans T.
Published: September 2024

A theory based on the demography of top management teams is used to explain membership turnover in two Swedish business groups, network analysis being used to define group membership. The results suggest these business groups possess a combination of financial and industrial experience as a group resource and the socialising strategy of control as a force counteracting the conflict-producing force of heterogeneity. An organisational demographic perspective focusing on opposing forces of heterogeneity and homogeneity is developed. It is shown that the perspective can be applied both to formal organisations and to informal ones such as networks.

This interoperability is a game-changer in ensuring patient information flows smoothly across various points of care, leading to improved healthcare quality and patient safety. Drawing from extensive literature reviews and empirical evidence, and this paper unveils the tangible benefits of adopting standardized practices and interoperable technologies in healthcare. However, it also acknowledges the implementation challenges, such as the need for updated infrastructure, privacy concerns, and resistance to change. Despite these challenges, the paper underscores the urgency of adopting a unified approach to standards and interoperability in healthcare. It argues that such an approach will revolutionize patient care and healthcare delivery, facilitating the development of innovative solutions, reducing errors, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Ilusão e evanescência
Authors: Grier Francis
Published: September 2024

O autor explora algumas similaridades entre experiências musicais e de sessões analíticas. Focaliza as qualidades da evanescência, a maneira como a música, em contraste com muitas outras formas artísticas, e sob certa perspectiva, dura somente enquanto é efetivamente tocada, e em seguida termina, de forma similar ao diálogo de analista e paciente em uma sessão. As reverberações psíquicas de alguns momentos transitórios e fugidios, no entanto, podem durar por toda a vida. Mesmo quando nenhum entendimento verbal profundo está acontecendo, ainda assim o encontro de paciente e analista é emocionalmente significativo. O autor ilustra esse ponto com um exemplo clínico. Explora a transferência como ilusão, e a relação entre verdade e ilusão a partir do conceito bioniano de O. Encerra com pensamentos a respeito do valor paradoxal do aspecto ilusório da estética e da natureza, como considerado por Freud em seu breve artigo “Sobre a transitoriedade”, e do sorriso que paira no ar do Gato de Cheshire, de Lewis Carroll.

Early childhood stunting is a significant global health issue with profound implications for children's physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. While factors like nutrition, environment, and genetics have been extensively studied, the role of gut microbiota diversity in the mechanisms underlying stunting remains not well understood. This multi-center longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the relationship between gut microbiota diversity and the incidence of stunting in early childhood. The analysis of stool samples revealed that stunted children exhibited lower gut microbiota diversity compared to their non-stunted counterparts. Longitudinal growth tracking further demonstrated that children with higher initial gut microbiota diversity experienced more favorable growth trajectories. The study also found that gut microbiota diversity remained an independent predictor of stunting, even after accounting for socioeconomic, dietary, and environmental factors. These findings suggest that strategies to enhance gut microbiota diversity, such as probiotics or prebiotics, could be integrated into existing nutritional programs to combat stunting. The study's implications highlight the need for holistic approaches that consider the complex interplay between gut health and early childhood development.

Authors: Umar Nain
Published: September 2024

This research aims to analyze and describe the unequal social reciprocity in the kalomba tradition, the implications and sustainability of the kalomba tradition. This research was conducted in Tanah Towa Village, Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tanah Towa Village was chosen because the kalomba tradition is still strongly maintained and implemented as a traditional obligation and this tradition is specifically found in Kajang District. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic strategy. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation as well as the use of field notes (field log). Data sources, in the form of person, place and paper. The person group consists of: (i) elements of village government, (ii) administrators of village community institutions; and (iii) community elements who are directly involved in the Kalomba traditional procession, including community leaders, religious leaders, traditional leaders, and residents who live outside the village, but still have kinship relations with the residents of Tanah Towa Village. Place group through observation by looking closely at the traditional Kalomba procession and specifically observing the Massolo tradition. Paper group by tracing documents, such as Kalomba party permits, records of the number of invitations, records of attendees, records of costs for holding the Kalomba, records of the number of passolo. Data analysis was carried out through the Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) Software Program, to assist during the data processing and analysis phases as well as writing research reports. The research results show that unequal exchange occurs because there is competition to give passolo more than what has been received before, especially passolo from close family because they want to get praise and increase their social status in society. Passolo which exceeds tens of millions of rupiah has psychological, social, economic and cultural implications. However, the Kalomba tradition remains sustainable because it is a traditional obligation, social solidarity and mutual help within the village community.

Authors: Dr. Mohamad Ahmad Saleem Khasawneh
Published: September 2024

This study came to complete the role that previous researchers began by focusing on strategic planning and linking it to an effective school administration in secondary public schools in Saudi Arabia to reach results and recommendations that may benefit principals, supervisors, and workers in the field of education.  The study used the descriptive analytical approach and developed a questionnaire as an instrument, which was administered to 122 school principals from public schools in Saudi Arabia. The results concluded that the five areas each received a very high relative weight, and this reinforces the importance of school principals using strategic planning in their schools because of its great benefit in increasing the effectiveness of school administration. The findings showed no statistically significant differences between the averages of the study sample’s estimates on the role of strategic planning in increasing the effectiveness of school administration due to years of experience, as all school principals need strategic planning because of its importance and because of its novelty, which limits the number of years of service.

Capitalism, Education and Social Mobility: Critical Approach Based on Scientific Literature
Authors: Josué Cabrera  , Daniel Angulo  , Kerly Manosalvas  , Monica Zea
Published: September 2024

Education is a key factor for human development and social progress. However, in the context of capitalism, education is also influenced by economic inequalities and power structures. Scientific information selected through a critical review has identified the main theories and findings regarding education conceived within the capitalist model and inherent social mobility. The results demonstrate that in more egalitarian states, wage increases associated with education vary only slightly based on socioeconomic status. However, significant class disparities exist in states with moderate to high levels of inequality. While some argue that education can be a tool for upward mobility, others emphasize how capitalism and pre-existing inequalities can limit such mobility. Understanding this relationship is crucial for addressing issues of equity and social justice in capitalist societies.
