A Comparative Study of the Effects of Small-Sided Game Formats on Internal Load and Technical Responses in Soccer
Authors: Yılmaz Osman , Soylu Yusuf
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of game formats on soccer players' internal load and technical responses during small-sided games (SSGs) of the 2-a-side and 4-a-side. Twenty-four male soccer players played three SSGs: possession, mini-goal (MG), and goalkeeper (GK). The SSG interventions were randomly allocated to six training intervention groups using SSGs performed in possession, MG, and GK game formats. The internal load was assessed using the perceived exertion (RPE), enjoyment scale, and visual analog scale (VAS) rating during each SSG session. Mental Readiness Form-3 (MRF-3) was evaluated pre- and post-game for mental preparedness. Technical actions were also conducted using video footage captured during all SSG sessions. A one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to evaluate any significant differences in performance across the different SSGs. Following the interventions, RPE and VAS scores differed considerably between the MG and GK games in the 2-a-side game (P

Authors: IR Ahmet , ERTEM Kadir , EKREM Serhat , EK pek
Published: August 2024

Objective: Endoscopy-assisted surgical procedures for CTS has become increasingly prevalent since 1990s. In endoscopy-assisted carpal tunnel release surgery (EACTRS), it has been proposed that nerve damage likelihood is similar to other procedures. It has also been proposed that EACTRS is especially associated with smaller scar size, painless and faster recovery period. We aimed to determine our clinical and functional results in patients with EACTRS and compare them with the literature
Method: We evaluated 25 (39 hands ) patients who underwent endoscopy-assisted carpal tunnel release surgery between 2012 and 2017. In all patients, demographic characteristics, preoperative- postoperative functional scores, patient satisfaction levels and time required to return-to-work were recorded;
Results: The endoscopy-assisted carpal tunnel release surgery had positive significant effect on patient satisfaction scores(p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between those with and without Double Crush syndrome (DCS) in favor of those without DCS in terms of pre- and postoperative BTCQ symptom severity score (p<0.05). We found only two scar tenderness and two revision Carpal Tunnel release .
Conclusion: The EACTRS is an effective method in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Clinical outcomes are comparable to other methods. Those with DCS, those with comorbidities, and female gender were evaluated as negative prognostic factors in patients who underwent EACTRS.

Published: August 2024

Background: There is an increased prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in postmenopausal women. Estrogen plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and autonomic function. Various hormone therapies are widely used in postmenopausal women, especially combination therapy of low-dose estrogen and progesterone. Hormone therapy might be useful not only in alleviating menopausal symptoms but help in reducing cardiovascular risk factors and improving quality of life.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to study the effect of combined estrogen and progesterone hormone therapy on BP and sympathetic overactivity in postmenopausal women.

Materials and Methods: The study included two groups of 50 women each. Group I included postmenopausal women of age 45–55 years who were taking combined hormone therapy while Group II included postmenopausal women of the same age group who were not on any replacement therapy heart rate and BP in resting state was noted in both the groups. Sympathetic function assessment was done by performing cold pressor test, handgrip test, and BP response to standing on all the participants. Statistical analysis was done using the student’s t-test.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference in resting heart rate, BP, and sympathetic function tests in both groups.

Conclusion: There is a facilitatory role of combined estrogen and progesterone therapy in menopausal women in reducing BP and sympathetic system dysregulation.

Authors: Kesar Divya
Published: August 2024

In a world where the balance between economic globalization and national sovereignty is constantly evolving, the right to regulate becomes a crucial aspect of ensuring sustainable and inclusive development. This article explores the complex dynamics of protecting this essential right within the framework of international trade and investment agreements. Drawing upon a comprehensive analysis of legal frameworks, case studies, and scholarly discourse, it sheds light on the challenges and opportunities associated with preserving the right to regulate. By examining the intricate interplay between trade liberalization and regulatory autonomy, it provides a nuanced understanding of how nations can effectively navigate the complex terrain of global governance while safeguarding their ability to enact and enforce domestic regulations. Furthermore, the article explores the implications of regulatory measures on environmental protection and sustainable development, investigating potential conflicts between international trade obligations and the sovereign right of nations to regulate in the best interest of their citizens. Through a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing legal analysis, policy evaluation, and socioeconomic considerations, it aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on striking a delicate balance between economic integration and the preservation of national regulatory autonomy, ultimately providing policymakers, scholars, and stakeholders with valuable insights and recommendations to navigate the complex landscape of international trade and investment agreements.

A crescente incidência de transtornos mentais, especialmente o Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático (TEPT), demanda atenção urgente da comunidade científica. Este estudo revisa a literatura existente sobre o TEPT, abordando sua história, critérios diagnósticos, fatores de risco e tratamentos disponíveis. Os resultados mostram que o TEPT afeta uma parcela significativa da população, manifestando-se por meio de diversos sintomas que impactam a funcionalidade cognitiva e social dos indivíduos. Destaca-se a importância de mudanças nos critérios diagnósticos, como a ampliação do critério A no DSM-5, para uma identificação mais precisa dos casos. A revisão enfatiza a eficácia de várias terapias, incluindo a terapia cognitivo-comportamental focada no trauma (TF-CBT), a desensibilização e reprocessamento por movimentos oculares (EMDR) e intervenções farmacológicas. No entanto, a heterogeneidade dos resultados e o potencial viés de publicação sugerem que os dados devem ser interpretados com cautela. A necessidade de uma abordagem integrada e personalizada, que leve em conta fatores biológicos, psicossociais e genéticos, é crucial para melhorar os resultados clínicos. Continuar investindo em pesquisas sobre novas perspectivas terapêuticas é fundamental para oferecer esperança e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados pelo TEPT.

Authors: Esen Merve , Gök Metin Zehra
Published: August 2024

Objective: As chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progresses, older adults have an increased symptom burden, including severe dyspnea. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between dyspnea, care dependency, and frailty in older adults with COPD.
Methods: The current study was a descriptive-correlational study. One hundred and five participants were included. Data were collected face-to-face using the Dyspnea-12 Scale, Care Dependency Scale, and Edmonton Frailty Scale. Correlation and regression analysis were performed.
Results: The median score for dyspnea was 24 (moderate to high), 61 (low) for care dependency, and 10 (moderate) for frailty. Age (β=0.171, p=.013), COPD stage (β=0.465, p<.001), and income status (β=0.907, p=.049) were the predictors of dyspnea and explained 67.1% of the variance. Age (β=-0.43, p<.001), COPD stage (β = 0.506, p<0.001), and income status (β=- 0.147, p<.001) were also identified as the predictors of care dependency. Besides age and COPD stage, educational status (β=0.172, p<.049) were the predictors of frailty.
Conclusions: This study implied that older adults who had advanced stage COPD, were lower educated, had low-income levels, and comorbidities perceived higher care dependency and frailty. Nurses should assess both dyspnea and care dependency to identify older adults with COPD at risk for increased frailty. Studies considering COPD stage, education level, income status, and comorbidities on dyspnea management, and alleviating care dependency and frailty are warranted.

Published: August 2024

Objective: In the present study, it was aimed to determine the fertility awareness levels of women of reproductive age and the factors affecting them.
Methods: The sample of the cross-sectional study based on the general survey model using a quantitative approach included 686 women aged 18-49 years who met the inclusion criteria. The data were collected online via Google Forms using the Personal Information Form and Fertility Awareness Scale (FAS). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA test were used to evaluate the data. Statistical significance was taken as p<0.05.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.56±7.68 years (min:18 and max:50). The mean total score of the fertility awareness scale was 61.31±12.53, and the mean total scores of the sub-dimensions were 35.10±8.08 for physical awareness and 26.21±5.60 for cognitive awareness. When we look at the factors affecting the level of fertility awareness; age, educational status, employment status, occupation, presence of infertile individuals in the environment, research on fertility health and receiving fertility health education were found to be significantly related to the level of fertility awareness, while marital status was not.
Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that women's fertility awareness level was at an intermediate level. It is predicted that trainings to be organized to increase the fertility awareness levels of health professionals, especially midwives, who are the most important care and counseling providers in women's reproductive health, will contribute to the protection of fertility health.

High consumption of sodium is often associated with an increased risk of hypertension, heart disease, and premature death. Thus, it is vital to have comprehensive data on knowledge, practices, and health literacy levels pertaining to sodium intake for strategized and informed public health initiatives. This study aims to adapt and validate the Chinese Health Literacy Scale for Low Salt Consumption – Hong Kong population (CHLSalt-HK) instrument to be used as assessment tool on health literacy pertaining to salt intake among Malaysian adults and this paper reports the translation and validation process of the instrument. The original CHLSalt-HK in English was translated to Malay by using forward-backward translation, and the preliminary version was obtained with cross-cultural adaptation based on review by three technical experts. A cognitive testing was conducted among 30 patients based on sociodemographic differences such as ethnicity, location, and education level. Their feedback was gained pertaining to comprehension of the instrument in terms of language and terminologies used, the flow and clarity of the instructions, and the questions given. The improvised version of the instrument was then pre-tested among 200 adults’ respondents in Klang Valley for the reliability purposes. The internal consistency of the instrument was acceptable, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging between 0.624 and 0.830 and 0.825 for the entire instrument. The temporal stability was good, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was >0.6. The adapted and translated version CHLSalt-HK demonstrates adequate psychometric properties for measuring health literacy pertaining to salt intake among Malaysian populations.

Persistent offenders back to square one? The ISD in retrospect

The Act introducing the Institution for Persistent Offenders Committal Order (ISD Order) took effect on 1 October 2004. The origins of the ISD Order are in safety policy. The order had a strong focus on imprisonment of persistent offenders. It can be seen as an exponent of the risk-oriented attitude towards safety, which has been predominant in recent years. At the start treatment of persistent offenders was of secundary importance and was only available for those who were motivated. But the ISD measure has had to deal with major problems in practice. The imprisoned ISD population proved to be one with complex problems like addiction, psychiatric illnesses and sometimes low intellectual abilities. The ISD institutions are ill-equipped for handling these people. The problems led to a slightly different attitude which is more oriented towards resocialization. Improvements are going on now, a process facilitated by a considerably improved co-operation between agencies around the ISD.

The political-criminal nexus in Italy: 150 years of relationships between mafia and politics

This article analyzes the so-called political-criminal nexus in Italy, that is, the relationships of exchange and collusion between politicians and civil servants, on the one hand, and members of organised crime - and specifically Southern Italian mafia - groups on the other. Its main thesis is that the political-criminal nexus in Italy finds nowadays no parallel in any other Western, developed nation, with the possible exception of Japan. The extraordinary intensity of Italy's political-criminal nexus is related to the specificity of Italy's organised crime. This is discussed in the first section of the article. The following ones briefly sketch the evolution of the political-criminal nexus since Italy's Unification in 1861 and then focus on the last thirty years. The recognition of the recent law enforcement successes is complemented by a discussion of the factors that favour the perpetuation of mafia organisations and the political-criminal nexus in the future.

The modern bar in an international perspective

This article describes the development of the Dutch bar, which seems to follow the international trends, the Anglo-Saxon trends in particular. These trends are internationalization, commercialization, organizational professionalization, specialization and differentiation. The Dutch bar nowadays consists of approximately 15.000 advocates, working in approximately 3.800 law firms. Approximately 3.500 advocates work in the Top 30 law firms, whereas the firms consisting of one advocate form the majority of the bar. Particularly during the last decade the bar has grown tremendously due to an increase in demand for specialistic legal service and advice. Due to new developments the client has become more prominent when it comes to determining the quality of the legal service, a phenomenon also known as ‘simultaneity’.
De ontwikkeling van de criminaliteit op Curaçao

Published: August 2024

No reason for despondency; the development of crime on the island of Curaçao

In the years 2000-2003 crime on Curaçao seemed to be going out of control and the economy was virtually stagnant with low growth and high unemployment. This situation has changed significantly since 2005. The author shows that a targeted approach by the authorities pushed back major crime problems like the smuggling of cocaine on passenger flights, armed robberies and homicides. However only a permanent effort can guarantee the continuation of this success. Corruption and nepotism are still vibrant, but mainly concern individuals, not institutions as a whole, while the judiciary actively prosecutes corrupt officials. In the long run not only repression, but preventive measures are needed as well. A major cause of corruption and nepotism is the small scale of island life, in combination with economic protectionism and state ownership of companies. Structural adjustments in economic institutions and policy in recent years heralded the return of economic growth and employment. More adjustments in economic policy and institutions could further reduce incentives for corruption; these might also lead to the opening up of Curaçao's rigid labour markets for the many unemployed youngsters. A more autonomous Curaçao faces serious challenges, but the island's record so far gives no reason for despondency.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: in-hospital simulated clinical practice is essential in the training of health career students, since it allows them to develop technical and non-technical skills for effective interprofessional collaborative practice. However, there are not many validated instruments that evaluate the development of these competencies. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of a self-assessment questionnaire of clinical skills acquired in simulated in-hospital clinical practice in an interdisciplinary group of students.
Method: a quantitative descriptive study was carried out. The sample included 312 students from 6 health programs at a private Chilean university, who completed 25 hours of simulated interprofessional internships. A 14-item self-assessment questionnaire with 5 response categories was applied, validated by experts. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed.
Results: the factor analysis confirmed a structure of 4 dimensions: ethical values, roles and responsibilities, interprofessional communication and teamwork. The response averages were very high, close to 5 (totally agree). Pearson correlations were high (>0,6) for most items. The overall Cronbach’s alpha was 0,94.
Conclusions: the questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties to evaluate the self-perception of clinical skills acquired in interprofessional simulated practice

Mechanical ventilation is a respiratory support therapy that can cause diaphragm muscle injury and induce dysfunction, which is associated with prolonged ventilation, weaning failure and mortality. Protecting the diaphragm during ventilation requires the use of tools to monitor diaphragmatic effort. The aim of this review was to address current and relevant elements about the pathophysiology of diaphragmatic function in ventilated patients. For this purpose, a narrative review of the literature available in Google Scholar, Pumed/Medline, regional SciELO, and academic Google was carried out under the terms: diaphragmatic function-diaphragmatic function in ventilated patients/diaphragmatic ultrasound in ventilated patients pathophysiology/ diaphragmatic function and others. Fundamental theoretical contents on the clinic of diaphragmatic muscle dysfunction, its relationship with artificial ventilation and related structures, such as the lung, are addressed. It is concluded that the diaphragm represents the main muscle involved in respiration and diaphragmatic muscle dysfunction represents a frequent complication in critically ill patients. Diaphragmatic ultrasound is a tool that aids decision making on artificial ventilation, potentially reduces the duration of respiratory support and associated complications

Anti-corruption efforts are often predicated on how to encourage whistleblowing and discourage corruption. To strengthen the anti-corruption drives, previous studies underscored the need for more research on psychological variables that may be connected with whistleblowing and corruption. This study, therefore, tested the extent to which employees in public sector service occupations are likely to engage in corruption and whistleblowing when they condone corruption, are less apprehensive about punishment, and can justify punishable work behaviors. This correlational study involved 331 employees (155 males; 176 females) of public sector organizations (110 health workers; 116 police personnel; 105 teachers), whose had a mean age of 43.01 years (SD = 7.86). They completed measures of corruption tolerance, punishment anxiety, workplace neutralization, whistleblowing intentions, and corrupt tendencies.  Results of the 2-step hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that whistleblowing intentions significantly reduced as employees condoned corruption, were afraid of punishment, and justified punishable work behaviors. Corrupt tendencies significantly increased as employees overlooked corruption and were able to justify punishable work behaviors, but decreased significantly as they became apprehensive of punishment. Based on these results, public sector organizations, especially the police, health, and education, should institute policies and implement psychological strategies that reduce the corruption-tolerant climate in the workplace; by increasing the fear of punishment for corruption and encouraging moral obligations to whistle-blow corruption among employees.
