Authors: Elizabeth C. Mtitu  , Rwegasha P. Ishemo  , Benedicto W. Msangya
Published: September 2024

The main purpose of the study was to examine the practice of Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) process among secondary school teachers in Njombe Region, Tanzania. The objective of the study was to investigate how IQA is conducted in schools. The study employed a qualitative research approach and descriptive case study design. These research components facilitated the collection of data in real-life situations. The study used 20 respondents, including 10 internal quality assurers, 8 frontline teachers and 2 District Education Officers. Purposive sampling was used to select Internal Quality Assurers and District Education Officers because they were given the opportunity to run IQA in schools. Simple random sampling was used to select frontline teachers because they know how IQA is conducted at school. The study was guided by two theories: constructivism and humanism. Constructivism theory, guided by the aspect of social interaction while socially and culturally constructed in real-life situations, provided the practice of the IQA process. On the other hand, Humanism theory guided the aspect of love, sense of connection, autonomy, respect, recognition, freedom, and friendship to allow concern related to IQA process. Data were generated through interviews and documentary review methods. The interview method employed a semi-structured interview guide to internal quality assurers, frontline teachers and district educational officers while audio-taping each respondent for almost 30 to 45 minutes using phones. A review of the documents was used to check the contribution of IQA practice in the implementation of curriculum objectives. The study revealed that the practice of IQA relies on the preparation of a scheme of work, lesson plan, lesson notes, teaching aid and putting signatures in a class journal. Awareness is still needed on the new reform to allow teachers to understand the practice of the IQA process rather than relying on teaching documents.

Authors: Kevin Ochieng Ouma  , Dr. Caroline Oloo
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the influence of social media marketing on consumer buying behaviours in the case of Kibos sugar company Kisumu consumers. Three specific objectives guided the study. These were:

To establish the influence of social marketing tools on consumer buying behaviour,
How social media marketing targets consumers in online marketing in Kibos Sugar Company, and
To investigate business practices that can increase brand value through social media marketing

The study applied a descriptive approach through survey design. The study applied a stratified sampling technique for the investigation with 3000 customers as a target audience. The study calculated a sample size of 171 responses with a 95% confidence level. Correlation analysis was used to determine whether the two variables were related. Social media marketing, business strategies, and social media targeting account for 24.2% of the variation in consumer behaviour. In addition, it was found that social media targeting had a significant positive effect on consumer behaviour (β = .821, p<0.05), and Social media marketing had a positive and significant effect on consumer behaviour (β = .453, p<0.05), and finally, business practices had a negative and significant effect on consumer behaviour ((β = -.691, p<0.05). The study found that social media targeting, marketing, and business practices significantly predicted consumer behaviours among Kibos Sugar Company's social media users. The researcher recommends that Kibos sugar company and other companies establish sound social media departments and pages through which they can profile their customers and present targeted product advertisements to reach specified market niches. Additionally, participation in marketing research with a primary focus on learning about prevalent social media behaviours should be included.
Government Capital Expenditure and the Manufacturing Sector’s Output Performance in Kenya
Authors: Alex Gicini Gitau  , Dr. Susan O.Okeri
Published: September 2024

The manufacturing sector is named as a key sector that promotes development through contribution to Gross Domestic Product, employment generation, value addition, diversification, industrialization and technological innovations. The government of Kenya has spent a lot of resources to boost the growth of the manufacturing sector. The need for growth in this sector picked momentum in the early 60s. Policies like the Import substitution in 1963-1970, Structural Adjustment Programs in the 80s, the Vision 2030 in 2008, the Kenya Industrial Transformation Program in 2015, and the Big Four Agenda in 2018 have been implemented to spur growth in the sector and to turn Kenya into an industrial middle-income economy. Much emphasis has since been placed on spending by increased government expenditure towards the manufacturing sector to improve the overall performance. Despite all, the conduct of the manufacturing sector, as shown by the sector's contribution to the Gross Domestic Product, only increased substantially in the first three decades after independence, after which it stagnated to below 9 percent to date. The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of government capital expenditure in the manufacturing sector on the sector's performance. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag Error Correction model was used to achieve the objective of the study. The study found out that public resources were allocated to the manufacturing sector. Further, the study found out that government capital expenditure significantly contribute to growth of the manufacturing sector. Recurrent expenditure was also statistically significant in explaining changes in the manufacturing sector performance vfffff

Opportunities and challenges of multidisciplinary conversion therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Chu Ju-Hang , Huang Lu-Yao , Wang Ya-Ru , Li Jun , Cui Ying-Yu , Qian Ming-Ping
Published: September 2024

Surgical resection is still the most important radical treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but at present, the resection rate of newly diagnosed patients with HCC is only 30%. The recurrence rate of newly diagnosed patients suitable for surgical resection within 5 years after surgery is as high as 40%~70%. Low initial resection rate and high postoperative recurrence rate are important reasons restricting the overall treatment effects of HCC in China. Under this background, effectively improving the resection rate of HCC and reducing the postoperative recurrence rate have become the key topics to improve the treatment effects of HCC. Some initially unresectable HCC patients may have access to surgery through conversion therapy. Conversion therapy, which mainly involves the combination of local, systemic, and multiple treatment strategies, offers hope for patients with advanced HCC. But there are still some patients who do not benefit from conversion therapy. So, how to improve the conversion success rate is still one of the challenges that clinicians need to solve.
Reinjury Fear and Anxiety Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury. Let’s Get Our Constructs Straight!
Authors: Grinberg Adam
Published: September 2024

SYNOPSIS: There is increasing attention in the literature to psychological consequences of anterior cruciate ligament injury, particularly those related to reinjury fear/anxiety. However, noticeable knowledge gaps exist, pertaining to how different fear-related constructs (eg, kinesiophobia, reinjury anxiety) are defined and consequently assessed. This editorial tackles some fundamental issues: first regarding the distinction between reinjury anxiety, which is assessed using questionnaires, and fear of reinjury, which is an acute response to injury-relevant scenarios. Next, the frequent focus of practitioners on pain as the major injury-instigated threat, which oversimplifies the complex injury experience and, in turn, the individual anxiety perceived by patients. A call to researchers and clinicians is issued to further consider the constructs they evaluate and related assessment tools. While fear is more challenging to assess and requires individual exposure to threatening situations, anxiety-relevant questionnaires should be carefully selected rather than using common ones that may not suit the population.

Integrating Person-Centered Concepts and Modern Manual Therapy
Authors: Keter Damian , Hutting Nathan , Vogsland Rebecca , Cook Chad E
Published: September 2024

SYNOPSIS: Person-centered care places the whole patient at the center of the assessment and treatment plan. This includes an appreciation of the biological, psychological, and social contributors to the patient’s status; use of shared decision-making to arrive at a feasible, person-centered care plan; and planning beyond the clinical encounter. Whereas person-centered care has been trending among musculoskeletal pain care, the application of this concept in a management plan that incorporates manual therapy (MT) has yet to be explored. Traditionally, MT has involved a practitioner leading the treatment session and providing the technique; however, recent advances in the MT literature and training are more reflective of a person-centered care model. The objectives of this clinical commentary are to outline our vision of person-centered MT, including support on why and how it should be applied. We endeavor to answer What is person-centered MT? Why should person-centered MT be adopted? How should person-centered MT be utilized? We present literature answering each of these questions and present a clinical framework to link evidence to practice in which we outline person-centered MT-based assessment and intervention.

Authors: Michener Lori A. , McClure Philip W. , Tate Angela R. , Bailey Lane B. , Seitz Amee L. , Straub Rachel K. , Thigpen Charles A.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: Guidelines include manual therapy and exercise for subacromial shoulder pain, but there is low certainty for these recommendations. Here, we evaluated if adding manual therapy to a resistance exercise program improved patient outcomes.

DESIGN: Randomized parallel controlled clinical trial.

METHODS: Individuals with subacromial pain syndrome (N = 93) were randomized to exercise (EX; n = 41) or exercise plus spine and shoulder manual therapy (EX+MT; n = 52). Primary outcome of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and secondary outcome of satisfaction with shoulder use (Satisfaction-shoulder) at baseline, 2, 4, 6, 26, and 52 weeks were compared between groups. Secondary outcomes of additional health care use were compared at 26 and 52 weeks and GROC success (≥“moderately better”) at 2, 4, 6, 26, and 52 week prevalence were compared between groups.

RESULTS: The EX+MT group had better DASH scores at 26 weeks (mean difference = 4.9 [95% CI: 9.8, 0.1], P = 0.047) and 52 weeks (mean difference = 6.7 [95% CI: 11.4, 2.1], P = 0.005) compared to the EX group. The EX+MT group had better Satisfaction-shoulder scores at 26 weeks (mean difference = 0.8 [95% CI: 0.2, 1.5], P = 0.012) and 52 weeks (mean difference = 1.2 [95% CI: 0.5, 1.8], P<0.001) compared to the EX group. Higher GROC success was found at 26 and 52 weeks in EX+MT ( P<0.05). There were no differences for additional health care use ( P>0.171).

CONCLUSION: Manual therapy added to a resistance exercise program improved long-term shoulder disability, satisfaction, and perceived benefit in patients with subacromial pain. Both groups had improved outcomes over time, with greater effects for the EX+MT group at 26 and 52 weeks. JOSPT Open 2024;2(1):29-48. Epub 11 December 2023. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2023.1134

Treating Early Hip, Knee, and Ankle Joint Osteoarthritis in Professional and Elite Athletes – What Works? A Scoping Review
Authors: Pillay Lervasen , de Beer Sabine , Janse van Rensburg Dina Christa , Kerkhoffs Gino M. , Gouttebarge Vincent
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the existing evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions to manage early hip, knee, and ankle osteoarthritis in active elite or professional athletes.

DESIGN: Scoping review.

DATA SOURCES: Medline (PubMed), SPORTDiscus, ScienceDirect, and Epistomonikos.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Peer-reviewed publications from 2012 to 2023 in English, Dutch, or French that included active elite/professional athletes with osteoarthritis and/or cartilage injury to the hip, knee, and/or ankle joints and outcomes measured using validated tools.

OUTCOME MEASURES: Patient-reported outcome scores relating to function and return to sports.

RESULTS: Twenty-seven studies were included from 414 identified: two on exercise and rehabilitation, four on joint injections, and twenty-one on surgery. For the “Exercise and rehabilitation” category, the evidence was insufficient to recommend conventional training or whole-body vibration training for patellofemoral pain. For the “Joint injections” category, hip and knee hyaluronic acid injections appear safe and effective for improving symptoms, delaying hip joint degeneration and return to sport in 50% to 100% of athletes. Platelet-rich plasma was not as effective as hyaluronic acid in the knee joint. Strong evidence supported corticosteroids and/or local anaesthetic in relieving knee joint symptoms allowing short-term return to sport but hastening the development of knee osteoarthritis. For the “Surgery” category, there was insufficient evidence to support surgical interventions as effective interventions in the hip, knee, and ankle joints of athletic populations for managing early osteoarthritis and precursor pathology.

CONCLUSION: There was insufficient evidence to provide clear recommendations about which interventions are best for managing lower limb osteoarthritis in the elite or professional athlete. JOSPT Open 2024;2(2):71-81. Epub 24 January 2024. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2024.0806

ABSTRACT – This study examines the Peruvian context in order to propose a comprehensive typology of aggressions against journalists and media outlets. Analyzing data from 2022 – a year characterized by political turmoil in Peru – the authors introduce a six-factor classification of attacks, accounting for the type of harm, means of aggression, identity of the attacker, underlying motivations, frequency of attacks, and vulnerability of the victims. This typology suggests a potential connection between politically motivated attacks and efforts to obstruct the normative role of the press.
RESUMO – Este estudo usa o caso peruano para propor uma nova e ampla tipologia de agressões contra jornalistas e meios de comunicação. Empregando uma abordagem abrangente, os autores analisaram dados de 2022 – ano marcado pela turbulência política no Peru – e propõem uma classificação de seis fatores de ataques, distinguindo entre o tipo de dano, os meios de agressão, a identidade do agressor, as motivações subjacentes, a frequência dos ataques e a vulnerabilidade das vítimas. A aplicação desta tipologia também mostra uma possível ligação entre ataques com motivação política e a intenção de obstruir o papel normativo da imprensa.

Calculation of the Concentration of Chamotte in Ceramics: New Experimental Data
Authors: Andreeva O. V.
Published: September 2024

The historical and cultural approach is currently being actively used by archaeologists to study ceramic products. The approach developed by A. A. Bobrinsky is still being improved nowadays, the article presents the stages and results of an experiment to create scales of concentration of uncalibrated chamotte. The purpose of the experiment is to create scales to identify the concentration of uncalibrated chamotte in archaeological ceramics. In the course of the work, it was determined that the average amount of chamotte in samples using as a feedstock in a dry crushed state is higher than in a recipe using raw materials in a naturally moistened state. Concentrations of 1:6, 1:7 can be divided only conditionally, since the average amount of chamotte per 1 cm2 is almost the same for the initial plastic raw mate rials in any state. Chamotte of the largest fractions is found in a maximum of 5 % of the samples studied. It is worth noting that when studying the concentration of coarse chamotte 2.0–5.0 mm, experimental samples were found on chips that did not contain chamotte inclusions. When using scales developed by A. A. Bobrinsky, it is necessary to apply a calculation formula and focus on the size of fractions, which complicates the process of determining the concentration of mineral impurities. The use of scales presented in the article to determine the concentration of uncalibrated chamotte is the most convenient to use when working with archaeological ceramics.

Purpose. The article generalizes the experience of project and activity approach in the process of teaching archeology in Altay State Pedagogical University, based on the interaction of such organization development as Historical and Local History Museum, Scientific laboratory “Regional Studies Through History” and the Industrial Park of the Universal Pedagogical Competence.Results. In the implementing process the problem arose of searching and testing new, more accessible forms of organizing project activities used by students in the pedagogical process. The authors think that the archeological reconstruction fits this viewpoint of social activity. It can be implemented naturally and virtually with different authenticity levels. The project and activity approach in teaching archeology is approved using the example of making a stylized dagger, Early Iron Age armor and a 3D model of a sculptural image of a warrior from this era. In addition, the approach was tested in teaching pedagogical university students undergoing professional training and students interacting with pupils as part of educational and pedagogical internships.Conclusion. The authors conclude that project and activity approach makes it possible to combine scooped from the professional literature and the students’ theoretical knowledge in the process of studying effectively with the active mechanism of their presentations in modern educational system.

Palatogingival Groove: A Plaque Trap Leading to Bone Loss in a Maxillary Lateral Incisor – A Rare Case Report
Authors: Elangovan Gayathri Priyadharshini , Periyasamy Indra Kumar , Kumar R Saravana , Vivekanandhan Gopinath
Published: September 2024

Palatogingival grooves are one of the most important anatomical anomalies, typically appearing as indentations on the palatal aspects of maxillary incisors. These grooves are excellent harbor for dental plaque accumulation as they act as a plaque-retentive factor, leading to the development of periodontal diseases. Treatment options for palatogingival grooves include curettage, saucerization, sealing the groove using GIC cement, and endodontic and periodontal therapy. In this case report, we describe a groove located in the palatogingival area of the left maxillary lateral incisors in a male patient and discuss its regenerative management using both nonsurgical and surgical approaches.

Published: September 2024

Objectives:

Hypertension contributes substantially to poor physical function and autonomic imbalance. It may cause instability in posture that limits daily activities and can lead to devastating falls. Centre of pressure (CoP) is a commonly used index of postural stability while standing and is a measure of the activity of the motor system, which may be altered in hypertension. It is also observed that the fall incidence is higher in women than men, which may be due to postural instability. The pilot study was conducted to see whether the presence of essential hypertension further contributes to postural instability in women and compared with age-matched normotensive controls.

Materials and Methods:

Sixteen hypertensive women on regular treatment for hypertension and 16 age-matched normotensive women with a mean age of 51.9 ± 9.1 years were included in the study. The WII balance board was used to measure the CoP and displacement to sway. PowerLab 8/35 (AD instruments) with LabChart software was used to measure the parameters.

Results:

Displacement of CoP in the mediolateral direction was studied in the trials. The CoP was measured in eyes closed and eyes open conditions and was displaced in both groups, with significant displacement in hypertensive women. With voluntary sway to their right and left sides, hypertensive women have shown significantly less sway displacement compared to normotensive women. In hypertensives, during right sway, the error of correction was 13%. During left sway, overcorrection was high in both hypertensive and normotensive.

Conclusion:

Postural instability is observed in hypertension, and posturography can be used as a routine screening tool to predict postural instability in hypertensives. Balance training exercise biofeedback protocols and the use of sensory augmentation devices may prove to be useful in improving postural stability.

Background Problems: The significance of holistic coaching has been widely recognized. Meanwhile, there has not been much research done on how holistic coaching affects athletes’ personal attribute proficiency for the reason to investigate in order to better prepare their own skills for the demanding needs of volleyball. Research Objectives: The research aims to explore the holistic coaching on the athletes’ personal attributes and proficiency. Specifically, the researchers try to answer the status of implementing a holistic coaching style of volleyball athletes, in particular to clear communication, decision-making, goal-orientated, and result-driven. In addition, to determine the level of athletes personal attributes proficiency concerning skill development, teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Methods: This study used a descriptive research approach, and the respondents consist of volleyball athletes, which were chosen purposefully. Additionally, the validated survey questionnaire was utilised as a primary data gathering tool. Findings and Results: The results reiterated that the status of implementing holistic coaching styles of volleyball athletes and personal attributes were highly observed and acceptable among the respondents. Likewise, the correlation of the different holistic coaching styles with each athlete’s personal attribute using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) has a significant correlation with the moderate to strong positive degree. Conclusion: These results highlight the significance of adjusting coaching strategies to the unique characteristics of each athlete while placing a strong emphasis on methods that are result-driven, goal-orientated, involve clear communication, and involve sound decision-making. Therefore, in order to maximise player growth and team performance, coaches should place a high priority on improving these coaching styles.

Данная обзорная статья оценивает реализацию национальных проектов России для детей. Каждый из национальных проектов, реализация которых предусмотрена указом Президента Российской Федерации от 7 мая 2018 г. № 204 «О национальных целях и стратегических задачах развития Российской Федерации на период до 2024 года», содержит федеральные проекты. Реализация большинства из них осуществляется в интересах всех граждан страны. Некоторые имеют узкую направленность, например, для определенного возраста, для детей, для пенсионеров.  Начиная с 2020 года Россия находится в режиме жесткого ограничения деятельности, обусловленного пандемией COVID- 19 и антироссийскими санкциями. Автор оценивает реализацию федеральных проектов России для детей. Анализ официальной статистики показывает, что, по всем федеральных проектам наблюдается недофинансирование, начиная с момента их появления - с 2019 года. Наихудшие результаты финансирования из федерального бюджета отмечаются в 2021 году, сумма финансирования уменьшилась практически в два раза. Правительством России предпринимаются меры как финансового, так и организационного характера в рамках максимальной реализации всех национальных, и федеральных проектов в том числе, что обусловлено социальными целями каждого из проектов

Dalam era digital saat ini, web server memainkan peran yang sangat penting dalam melayani permintaan pengguna melalui protokol Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Apache Tomcat adalah sebuah web server yang dapat menjalankan Java web application. Node.js adalah runtime environment JavaScript yang memiliki kecepatan eksekusi yang tinggi dan model non-blocking I/O. Web server Go adalah web server yang dibangun menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Go yang menawarkan kecepatan eksekusi yang tinggi, pengelolaan memory yang efisien, dan kemampuan penanganan concurrency yang baik. Selain protokol HTTP, protokol Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) juga penting dalam industri Internet of Things (IoT). MQTT adalah protokol ringan yang digunakan untuk pertukaran pesan antara perangkat IoT. Penelitian mengenai analisis skalabilitas web server Apache Tomcat, Node.js, dan Go pada protokol HTTP dan MQTT dilakukan untuk mengetahui kemampuan dari masing-masing platform dalam menangani peningkatan beban kerja dan menemukan web server yang memiliki skalabilitas terbaik. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara offline pada topologi jaringan Local Area Network (LAN), menggunakan Mosquitto broker sebagai MQTT broker dan metode load testing dalam pengujian web server. Adapun skenario pengujian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah masing-masing web server akan dikirim pesan yang berformat JSON oleh 200-1000 client setiap 500 ms selama 5 menit dan QoS 2 untuk publish-subscribe yang disimulasikan dengan menggunakan aplikasi Apache Jmeter. Dari analisis hasil pengujian, didapatkan bahwa pada web server Go pada protokol HTTP memiliki tingkat skalabilitas yang terbaik dibandingkan dengan web server pembanding lainnya dikarenakan memiliki peningkatan throughtput yang stabil seiring dengan meningkatnya jumlah user dan memiliki nilai throughput yang tertinggi.

Comparison of the Word2vec Skipgram Model Method Linkaja Application Review using Bidirectional LSTM Algorithm and Support Vector Machine
Authors: Ayuningtyas Puji , Tantyoko Henri
Published: September 2024

Word embedding is a phase in word processing that seeks to convert each word into a vector representation. Word2Vec is a sort of word embedding that is frequently utilized in natural language processing research. Choosing the proper algorithm can help increase the performance of the word embedding method while doing text data categorization tasks. This research uses the Bidirectional LSTM deep learning algorithm and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) machine learning algorithm. The crawling approach was used to obtain data by accessing the LinkAja Application ID on the Google Play Store. The total number of rows in the dataset was 35560. Labeling data involves categorizing it into two target classes: positive (score 1) and negative (score 0). This study employs the Word2Vec approach with skipgram architecture during the vectorization stage. Vector size, window, min count, and sg are the four parameters employed. The bidirectional LSTM architecture employs a sequential model that consists of three neural network layers: embedding, bidirectional, and dense. In the meanwhile, the SVM architecture employs the Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel parameters. For the final stage of algorithm testing, the accuracy of the bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) algorithm was 0.9505, which means it was higher than the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm with an accuracy value of 0.93.
