Authors: KANDAZ Mustafa , BALSAK Atalay , AYDOĞDU Kaan , ÇOBANOĞLU Hatice Bengü
Published: August 2023

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a very common head and neck cancer. Although concurrent chemotherapy plays an important role in controlling the disease, the risk of acute toxicity is high due to the anatomical location of the tumor. The aim of our study is to evaluate the acute side effects observed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who underwent definitive chemoradiotherapy. A total of 64 patients (41 men, 23 women) between the ages of 20 and 82, who were diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer and treated, were included in the study. All patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy along with intensity-modulated radiotherapy. While 70 Gy radiotherapy was applied to the tumor and positive lymph nodes, 60 Gy radiotherapy was applied to the entire nasopharynx and bilateral neck lymph nodes. Three cycles of cisplatin 100 mg/m2 (days 1, 22 and 43) or weekly 40 mg/m2 cisplatin chemotherapy were used for treatment. Acute side effects of the patients were noted and evaluated. Of the patients included in the study, 15 (23%) had stage II disease, 37 (58%) had stage III disease, and 12 (19%) had stage IV disease. The rates of grade 2 and 3 hematological toxicity in male patients were 47% and 20%, respectively. The rates of grade 2 and 3 hematological toxicity in male patients were 47% and 20%, respectively. A significant difference was found in the hematological toxicity rate between both groups (p= 0.0001). In patients under the age of 65, grade 2 and 3 hematological toxicity rates were determined as 47% and 20%, respectively. In patients over 65 years of age, the rates of grade 2 and 3 esophagitis were 53% and 80%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the rate of esophagitis between both groups (p= 0.0001). Our results are compatible with the literature in terms of acute side effects. Close monitoring and treatment of acute side effects can improve patient compliance with treatment, improve quality of life, and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
A Model for Culturally Sustaining Instructional Design
Authors: Smith Colleen , Willet K.
Published: August 2023

A student’s culture plays a role in ​learning​, and ​research​ suggests ​instructional​ designers may be able to enhance the ​online​ learning experiences for diverse students. ​Because there is not one prevailing model or framework for ​adapting​ learning systems to be inclusive of ​cultural​ diversity, we propose a new model, Culturally Sustaining Instructional Design (CSID), that modifies and synthesizes the Integrated Multicultural Instructional Design model and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy principles.​ The CSID model will help instructional designers reflect on the higher education system and how ​their​ own cultures and biases shape their ​design​ decisions for socially just online learning environments.

Authors: Faryal Qureshi  , Liaqat Iqbal  , Wagma Kamran  , Muhammad Aamir  , Sana Amin
Published: August 2023

In the contemporary realm of digitized existence, memes have become the norm of our virtual culture, omnipresent across the various platforms of social media. Functioning as a distinct and advanced mode of communication, memes enable social media users with an unfettered avenue to communicate their thoughts, jokes, ideas, critiques, etc. This study focuses on English and Urdu memes as one of the internet communication phenomena and their specific sociological features that make these memes interesting sociologically. Here mainly the memes that are in the form of images with a piece of written text on them are considered. Within the purview of this exploration, the General Theory of Verbal Humor presented by Raskin and Salvatore in 1991,  has been undertaken as an analytical lens. Six memes apiece from both English and Urdu have been selected for the analysis. From the results, it was shown that memes are used as strong social expressions. These reflect public reactions to political, social, and economic events, depicting the strong influence of technology on social behaviors. Urdu memes, being intrinsically rooted in the national fabric of Pakistan, emerges as more understandable and relatable to a Pakistani layman. In this way, Urdu memes stand distinguished for their contextual alignment with the Pakistani society, when put against English memes.
Early Weight Bearing after Distal Femur Fractures in the Elderly: A Prospective, Cohort Pilot Study
Authors: Bruggers Jennifer , Jeray Kyle , Tanner Stephanie , Israel Heidi , Dawson Sarah , Cannada Lisa
Published: August 2023

Objectives: To determine if early weight bearing in distal femur fractures in the geriatric population maintains fracture reduction and allows early return to function.

Design: Prospective Observational Pilot (NCT# #02475941)

Setting: Multicenter trial

Participants: Patients 64-90 with an OTA 33 Distal femur fracture were eligible for inclusion. All patients were household ambulators or higher at time of the injury. The patients were treated with surgical stabilization.

Intervention: Following surgery, the surgeon decided if patients would be weight bear as tolerated (EWB) or protected/non weight bearing (NWB).

Main outcome Measures: Complications evaluated included infection, loss of fixation and nonunion. Additional data collected included the Oxford knee score.

Results: There were 46 patients with an average age 75. 11 patients (24%) were in the EWB group. There were 37 33A, 2 33 B and 7 33C fractures. 5/11 in the EWB group and 18/35 in NWB group had periprosthetic fractures. In the NWB group, there were 2 hardware failures and the remaining patients were healed by 12 weeks. In the EWB group, all patients were healed at 12 weeks with no hardware failures. There were no significant differences between the groups in any outcome variables. The mortality rate was 6.5%. All patients who died had multiple medical co- morbidities and were in the NWB group.

Conclusion: Our results suggest EWB can be safely done in a small cohort study for geriatric distal femur fractures with minimal complications. A randomized clinic trial could be useful in geriatric distal femur population.
Can automating surgical processes reduce operating room supply costs? A pilot study of a novel OR based technology.
Authors: Millet Chad , Chimento George , Barrette William , Dasa Vinod
Published: August 2023

Introduction

In the struggling economic post covid era, there will be greater cost containment, efficiency, and quality pressures. How does novel technology to dynamically digitize and automate surgical processes, as an adjunct to existing static workflows, impact surgical supply costs in knee replacement surgeries compared to traditional non automated knee replacement surgeries?

Materials/Methods

A novel innovative patented technology (SIGHT Medical, Alexandria LA) was created to digitize surgical processes and interface with hospital data systems (EMR- EPIC and ERP- Lawson) within Ochsner health system. Medical Surgical supplies and billable medical supplies were captured by the OR staff using standard hospital EMR and materials management workflows. Outcome measures included costs of surgical supplies, length of stay and number of cases captured using the Ochsner Health system data analytics platform (Tableau, Seattle, WA).

Results

1023 knee replacement surgeries were reviewed over 3 years by 3 surgeons at 3 different hospitals within the Ochsner Health system. There was an average of $479/surgery in medical surgical supply costs for automated surgeries and $557/surgery for traditional surgeries. There was an average of $2,444/surgery in billable medical supply costs for automated surgeries and $4,660/surgery for traditional surgeries.

Discussion

Deploying innovative technology to create a real time dynamic communication and transparency platform can create significant supply cost savings. An average of $78 in medical surgical supply cost savings and $2216 in billable medical supply cost savings can be achieved by automating many of the surgical workflows and processes.

Improving Intra-Operative Efficiency of Total Knee Arthroplasty with Patient-specific and Single-use Instrumentation
Authors: Tawy Gwenllian F , Biant Leela C
Published: August 2023

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, elective orthopaedic surgery was suspended in many parts of the world, and patients may now face long waits for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Potential hospital financial constraints and restrictions on operating room use are likely to affect the number of weekly cases surgeons are able to perform. Efficiency in the operating room (OR) will therefore be paramount in the return to a more normal practice.

Patient-specific (PSI) and single-use instrumentation (SUI) for TKA have been found to save time in the OR, both intra-operatively and between cases. The time saved by adopting this technology could offset those that are likely to be added to turnaround times due to COVID-19, to allow for deeper cleaning of the OR and rest following cleaning between cases.

This article outlines a protocol for the use of PSI and SUI for elective TKA and explains the potential economic and clinical benefits of their uses. This protocol can be used in multiple hospital environments.
Defining Value in the Post-COVID-19 Era: Understanding Strategy and Competition in Healthcare
Authors: Sharan Alok
Published: August 2023

The Value 1.0 era was marked as the period in which delivering value to the patient became the aspirational goal of healthcare systems. During this period there was tremendous research devoted to defining value and more importantly, determining which activities and services were considered high value. After the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be an acceleration by providers to implement high value care as resources will be limited and patients will be seeking out providers who can efficiently delivery high value care. The Value 2.0 era will be defined by providers determining which high value activities and services they will offer, and more importantly, which ones they will not offer. Developing a unique value proposition to sustain a competitive advantage is a fundamental principle of business strategy. Understanding the essential tenets of strategy and competition from the business world can be helpful for providers as they navigate the Value 2.0 era.

Authors: Fitzpatrick Daniel C , Mueller Stephanie , Jitto Ellie , Herbert M. Mitch , Fitzpatrick Connor M , Owen Erin C
Published: August 2023

Objectives

To review outcomes of a consecutive, non-selected series of distal femur fractures treated with a dynamic plate construct and allowed unrestricted weight bearing immediately after surgery.

Design

Retrospective consecutive case series.

Setting

Level 2 trauma center

Patients/Participants

Thirty-one consecutive distal femur fractures in 29 patients with 33A and 33C fractures stabilized with a distal femur locking plate and Far Cortical Locking diaphyseal screws.

Intervention

All patients were allowed immediate unrestricted weight bearing with assistive devices post-surgery.

Main Outcome Measure

Loss of reduction from immediate post-operative alignment, implant failure, nonunion, and medical complications.

Results

No loss of alignment greater than three degrees in the lateral distal femoral angle was noted at healing. Two implant failures occurred, one in the first five weeks and another in an established nonunion. Mortality at one year was 6.5%. Readmission for medical complications was noted in 6.5% of patients.

Conclusions

Immediate, unrestricted weight bearing after fixation of 33A and 33C distal femur fractures with a dynamic plate construct may be safe, with a low risk of implant failure or loss of coronal plane alignment. Relative to historical reports, morbidity and mortality in our cohort were improved with early weight-bearing.

The Effects of Consumer Innovation, Price Sensitivity, Conformity, and Consumer Values on Consumer Attitudes and Intentions to Participate in the Crowdfunding of Fashion Products
Authors: Kim Jae Hee , Kim Nalae , Lee Yoon-Jung
Published: August 2023

This study examined consumer attitudes and intentions to participate in reward-based crowdfunding projects for fashion products. We focused on consumer innovation, price sensitivity, conformity, and consumer values as factors that might influence such attitudes and intentions. A survey was conducted with 228 individuals aged 18 years and older who are aware of or have had experience using crowdfunding. Respondents were asked to answer questions based on the example of actual fashion crowdfunding projects. To analyze the data, reliability tests, the generation of descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression were performed using SPSS 25.0. The results revealed that consumer innovativeness, non-conforming tendency, and emotional, quality, social, and ethnical consumer values had a significant influence on attitudes, which in turn affected intentions to participate in crowdfunding. Consumer innovativeness, price sensitivity, emotional value, and social value also had a direct influence on intentions to participate. In addition to its academic contribution, this study has important marketing implications for project initiators striving to identify and understand consumers who are willing to participate in reward-based crowdfunding for fashion products.

Authors: Cha Ji Hye , Park Mi Jeong
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to develop a high school home economics financial consumer education program based on backward design and validation by experts. The program was designed and developed by first selecting learning content elements through a review of existing research and an analysis of relevant literature. The next step was to categorize these elements into seven themes and apply the backward design instructional design model 2.0. The program was prepared in the form of a 21st teaching-learning course plan and workbook and was verified by nine home economics teachers with working experience in high school. The evaluation revealed that the average value for all questions was 3.81 (out of 4 points) and the CVR was .99, indicating that the program was valid. In addition, positive evaluations were received in terms of learning goals, content level, and learner participation by class. This study has significance in that a systematic financial consumer education program was developed by Education of Home Economics to improve the financial literacy of high school students. It can therefore be used as an elective course (mini-course) in Home Economics in the high school credit system. A follow-up study will be required to assess the improvement in financial literacy after implementing this program.
A Multilevel Approach to Sibling Warmth and Conflict among Korean Young Adults by Gender: Roles of Sibling and Parent-Child Characteristics
Authors: Baek Yeseul , Lee Jaerim
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine which sibling and parent-child characteristics were associated with siblisng warmth and conflict among Korean young adults. The data came from an online survey of Koreans aged 19-34 years who had at least one sibling and two living parents. We conducted a multilevel regression analysis using data from 193 men with 305 siblings and 203 women with 286 siblings. The results showed that, for men, the levels of warmth were higher when the sibling was younger, when they received more frequent financial and instrumental support from the sibling, and when maternal favoritism was relatively lower. Women reported higher levels of warmth when the sibling was a sister, when they provided more frequent support for the sibling, when they had a more affectionate relationship with the mother, and when paternal favoritism was lower. As for sibling conflict, the number of siblings was positively associated with the levels of conflict among both men and women. Maternal affection was negatively related with conflict for men, and paternal favoritism was positively related to conflict for women. Interestingly, women’s sibling warmth and conflict were both higher when the sibling was a sister, which meant that relationships between sisters tended to be ambivalent. This study contributes to our understandings of Koreans’ sibling relationships in young adulthood.

Authors: Jeon Jaeyoon , Lee Kyung Won
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to develop, and evaluate the effectiveness of, a home economics dietary education program that could be used to improve high school students’ sustainable dietary competencies. To achieve this goal, learning objectives and elements were selected for the education program to improve the students’ sustainable dietary competency. The content validity of this program was verified with numerous experts. After implementing the new educational program, its effect on high school students' sustainable dietary competencies was assessed through pre- and post-tests. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, through the textbook analysis, the necessity of developing an educational program that can cultivate the three areas that constitute a sustainable diet (environment, health, and consideration) was confirmed. Second, a total of nine teaching and learning plans for sustainable dietary education programs were developed. From there, content validity verification was conducted by experts, indicating that the developed educational program was highly applicable in the field. Third, after the implementation, a survey was conducted based on a questionnaire consisting of 20 items related to three areas of sustainable diet, while the pre- and post-test assessment indicated statistically significant differences in all three areas: environment (pre: 3.40, post: 4.46, p<.001), health (pre: 3.15, post: 4.32, p<.001), and consideration (pre: 3.46, post: 4.48, p<.001). It is expected that the educational program developed in this study will be used as a basis for dietary education that fosters food citizenship in high school home economics courses.
An Explorative Study on the Purchase Decision-Making Process of Sustainable Shoes Consumers
Authors: Yim Sora , Shin Eunjung , Koh Ae-Ran
Published: August 2023

Sustainable fashion products have different characteristics from typical fashion products. Therefore, this study focuses on shoes while exploring the expansion and development of sustainable fashion consumption as well as consumers' perceptions of the sustainability approaches practiced by shoe companies. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 consumers, who had purchased sustainable shoes, in order to understand their purchase decision-making process and consumption characteristics, using the seven stages of the EBM model. In the “need recognition” stage, the survey participants' social background and family influences were categorized as macro factors, while their personal background influences were categorized as micro factors. In the “evaluation of alternatives” stage, participants reconfirmed whether or not to make a purchase based on the product's properties, such as price, brand value, and offered services. In the “purchase” stage, participants' purchase channels were determined according to their preferences as well as the selection pattern they followed until the final purchase within the chosen channel. In the “consumption” stage, the start of product ownership coincides with the start of using the products after making a purchase. In the “post-purchase assessment” stage, higher positive experiences led to a higher repurchase intention of sustainable shoes, while negative experiences caused participants to defer consumption and made them experience a sense of guilt for failing to consume sustainably. During the “post-purchase behavior” stage, which focused on the categories that the customers prioritized, many participants spread information about sustainable fashion to specific individuals through active online WOM behavior.
The Effect of Paternal and Maternal Helicopter Parenting on the Career Preparation Behavior of High-School Students: Sequential Mediation Effects of Academic Achievement Attribution and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy
Authors: Kim Yoon Seo , Kang Min Ju
Published: August 2023

This study examined the sequential mediation effects of academic achievement attribution and career decision-making self-efficacy on the effect of paternal and maternal helicopter parenting on high-school students' career preparation behavior. A total of 285 (119 male and 166 female) Korean high-school students in the second grade participated in the study. Research variables were measured using the Career Preparation Behavior Scale (Kim, 1997), Helicopter Parenting Scale (LeMoyne & Buchanan, 2011), Attribution Questionnaire (Weiner, 1979), and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (Betz et al., 1996). To examine the sequential mediating effect, data analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0 and PROCESS MACRO (v4.2) Model 6. The results revealed no correlations between helicopter parenting and academic failure attribution. However, higher paternal and maternal helicopter parenting were found to indirectly reduce high-school students' career preparation behavior through lower internal academic success attribution (effort and ability) and higher external academic success attribution (task difficulty and luck), which reduced career decision-making self-efficacy. These findings can be employed to develop more effective intervention programs comprising career guidance for adolescents, which emphasizes the negative effect of helicopter parenting. This study expands the research field, as previous findings on helicopter parenting mostly focus on college students.

The Effect of Internal Control on Academic Procrastination among Middle School Students: The Moderating Roles of Autonomous Motivation and Parental Pressure on Academic Performance
Authors: Seo Seung Hee , Park Ju Hee
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether internal control, autonomous motivation of middle school students, and perceived parental pressure on academic performance affect academic procrastination, while verifying the moderating roles of autonomous motivation and parental pressure on academic performance. The participants were a total of 371 middle school students. Academic procrastination, internal control, autonomous motivation, and parental pressure on academic performance were measured using the Procrastination Inventory (Aitken, 1982) revised by Jeon and Park (2014), the Internal-External Control Scale (Ko, 2014), the Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Ryan & Connell, 1989) revised by Kim (2002), and the Scale of Kang (2003), respectively. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and a Process Macro Model 2 (multiple additional modulation effect). The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, middle school students' internal control, autonomous motivation, and perceived parental pressure on academic performance directly affected the students’s academic procrastination. Second, the moderating role of parental pressure on academic performance was significant. On the other hand, the moderating role of autonomous motivation was not significant. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that in order to reduce and prevent academic procrastination it is important to improve internal control by helping middle school students become confident enough to believe that they have the ability to change their behavior and achieve their aims. At the same time, parents need to be interested in the process rather than only the academic performance of their children and support their autonomy.

Authors: Dwinta Eliza
Published: August 2023

Antimikroba (antijamur, antivirus, dan antibakteri) merupakan zat yang digunakan untuk membunuh mikroba (jamur, virus, dan bakteri). Jika antimikroba digunakan terlalu sering tanpa pengawasan tenaga medis, jumlah antimiroba yang dikonsumsi terlalu banyak, dan waktu penggunaan antimikroba tidak menentu, dapat menjadi pemicu timbulnya resistensi antimikroba. Resistensi antimikroba terjadi ketika mikroba tidak mati dan terus berkembang karena sudah kebal terhadap pemberian antimikroba sehingga akan sulit untuk diobati. Terdapat 2 jenis antimikroba, yaitu antimikroba dalam sediaan kimia dan antimikroba dari bahan alam. Antimikroba yang dapat dimanfaatkan dari bahan alam, antara lain adalah bawang putih, rimpang jahe, daun cengkeh, kayu manis, lemon, daun kelor, dan jintan hitam. Informasi tersebut disosialisasikan di Radio Saka FM Yogyakarta secara didaktif, yaitu promosi kesehatan yang dilakukan secara satu arah, dimana narasumber tidak bertatap muka secara langsung dengan masyarakat. Sosialisasi di radio dilakukan dengan talkshow, yaitu sosialisasi yang dipandu oleh penyiar dengan acuan pocket book.. Sosialisasi ini dilakukan dalam rangka memeriahkan Pekan Kesadaran Antimikroba Dunia untuk meningkatkan kesadaran berperilaku dengan bijak dalam penggunaan antimikroba, terutama antimikroba kimia agar terhindar dari resistensi.

PENDIDIK YANG DIPENUHI OLEH ROH KUDUS
Authors: Pujiati
Published: August 2023

Salah satu hal yang harus dipenuhi oleh pendidik Kristen adalah bertobat dan percaya kepada Yuhan Yesus. Ini merupakan hal yang sangat penting yang harus dialami oleh seorang pendidik karena pendidik adalah seorang yang berbuat dosa. Pertobatan adalah cara yang disediakan bagi manusia untuk menjadi bebas dari dosa-dosa dan menerima pengampunan baginya. Dosa memperlambat kemajuan rohani kita dan bahkan dapat menghentikan pengajaran seorang pendidik. Pertobatan memungkinkan kita untuk tumbuh dan berkembang lagi secara rohani. Setelah pendidik melakukan pertobatan maka hidupnya dipenuhi oleh Roh Kudus. Melalui Roh Kudus, Kristus telah memberikan karunia-karunia rohani untuk saling melayani bagi pertumbuhan Kristus.
Critical Evaluation of Individualism, Collectivism and Collective Action

Published: August 2023

Tämän vertailevan tutkimuksen tavoitteena on luoda syvempää
ymmärrystä kollektivismista, ammattiyhdistystoiminnasta ja kyvystä luoda
kollektiivista toimintaa käyttäen Suomea ja Kambodzhaa esimerkkeinä
individualistisesta ja kollektivistisesta yhteiskunnasta.
Tutkimuksella on kaksi tavoitetta: 1) Tuottaa uutta tietoa
ammattiyhdistysten, kollektiivisen toiminnan ja kollektivismin eri
muotojen välisistä suhteista Kambodzhassa ja Suomessa. 2) Selittää,
millä tavoin kollektivismin taso vaikuttaa ihmisten väliseen
yhteistyöhön. Teoksessa tarkastellaan muun muassa poliittista
osallistumista, perhearvoja, luottamusta yhteiskunnassa ja koettua
kollektiivista tehokkuutta. Tutkimus perustuu Kambodzhasta ja Suomesta
kerättyihin laajoihin kyselyaineistoihin.
Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys on sosiologinen. Keskeinen
analyysin väline on kulttuurinen toimijateoria (Cultural Agency Theory,
CAT), joka mallintaa kollektiivisuuden tasoja ja kollektiivisia
toimintoja. Sitä voidaan hyödyntää esimerkiksi ammattiyhdistysten
tutkimuksessa.
Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella Kambodzhassa on paljon vaikeampaa
luoda kollektiivista toimintaa perheyhteisön ulkopuolella kuin
individualistisena pidetyssä Suomessa. Sekä poliittinen aktiivisuus että
kollektiivinen toiminta on Suomessa aktiivisempaa kuin Kambodzhassa.
Teos osoittaa, että kysymykset individualismista ja kollektiivisuudesta
ovat paljon monimutkaisempia kuin yleisesti oletetaan.
Painettu teos on tilattavissa verkkokaupoista (mm. Booky.fi,
Suomalainen.com ja Adlibris.com).
