Published: June 2024

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Indonesia ranks third in the world's tuberculosis burden (8%) after India (27%) and China (9%). The increase in the number of incidents in Indonesia continues to increase every year. Even though there are many prevention and management efforts, the spread of tuberculosis bacteria is very easy. This research aims to determine the relationship between practical hygiene. And environmental sanitation against the incidence of TB in the Kesamben Community Health Center Working Area, Blitar Regency. This research is a quantitative research with a survey and analytical observational design with a retrospective approach (case control). The population of this study was the community in the Kesamben Community Health Center working area using purposive sampling technique and found as many as 40 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets, analyzed using SPSS with Logistic Regression Test with α = 0.05. The statistical test results show that there is a relationship between hygiene practices and the incidence of TB with a sig value. 0.005 and there is no relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of TB with a sig value. 0.121. This is because the habit of practicing cleanliness is not being used, especially the use of masks which are considered to interfere with breathing when carrying out activities such as work and other activities. It is hoped that future research can develop research related to the incidence of TB using other variables, for example health services, knowledge, PMO and more variables.

Published: June 2024

Providing adequate nutrition is the main factor apart from other factors that supports a smooth delivery process. The nutritional needs of mothers in labor can be met by providing nutrition in the form of liquids that are easily digested and quickly absorbed into energy, delicious, practical, and suitable for the condition of the mother who is about to give birth. One way is to provide birth nutrition drinks in the form of juice. The aim of this research is to identify the carbohydrate content in date milk juice (phoenix dactylifera L.) as an alternative effort to fulfill the energy needs of mothers in labor to facilitate labor. The method used is descriptive quantitative with a laboratory experimental approach to determine the carbohydrate content in date milk juice. The results of the carbohydrate content test carried out showed that 100 ml of date milk juice had a carbohydrate content of 51.83% and the analysis of carbohydrate content used the luff schoorl method. It is hoped that the high carbohydrate content in 100 ml of date milk juice will provide energy and nutrition during labor so that it can help facilitate delivery.

Authors: Rakaa Rawah Khalid , Abbas Rafaa Mahmood
Published: June 2024

This study aims to evaluate experimentally the mechanical characteristics of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) comprising expanded polystyrene beads (EPS) to produce flowable lightweight concrete reinforced with steel fibers. In this paper, the effect of steel fibers and EPS content on the fresh and hardened mechanical properties of SCC specimens, using two percentages for Polystyrene aggregate replacement (25% and 50%) and three values for volume fraction of steel fiber content (0%, 0.75%, and 1.5%), were examined. Fresh mixture properties were determined using slump flow, L-box, and V-funnel tests. Mechanical properties for hardened samples were obtained using standard specimens for compressive strength, density, split, and flexural strength. The study showed that EPS content has no adverse effect on the rheological features of the SCC. However, workability falls below specification limits when adding steel fibers to SCC. Results revealed that using 25% of EPS content resulted in lightweight structural concrete, while lightweight moderate-strength concrete was produced using 50% of EPS content. Furthermore, the study has shown that the split and flexural tensile strength were reduced substantially by 53% and 60% due to EPS addition. However, adding steel fibers remarkably improved the indirect tensile strength and Modulus of rupture by 46% and 80%, respectively. The mode of failure of the concrete specimens containing EPS beads and steel fibers did not show brittle failure behavior generally encountered in normal-weight concrete, indicating a more ductile behavior.

Functional Brain Networks Underlying Autobiographical Event Simulation: An Update
Authors: Momeni Ava , Addis Donna Rose , Feredoes Eva , Klepel Florentine , Rasheed Maiya , Chinchani Abhijit Mahesh , Woodward Todd
Published: June 2024

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies typically explore changes in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal underlying discrete cognitive processes that occur over milliseconds to a few seconds. However, autobiographical cognition is a more protracted process and requires fMRI tasks with longer trials to capture the temporal dynamics of the underlying brain networks. In the current study, we provide an updated analysis of the fMRI data obtained from a published autobiographical event simulation task, with a slow-event-related design (34-second trials), that involved participants recalling past autobiographical events, imagining past/future autobiographical events, and completing a semantic association control task. Our updated analysis using Constrained Principal Component Analysis for fMRI (fMRI-CPCA) retrieved two networks reported in the original results, including the Default Mode Network (DMN) which was activated in the autobiographical event simulation conditions but deactivated in the semantic association control condition, and the Multiple Demand Network (MDN) which peaked early during all conditions but was more sustained in the recall condition. Two novel networks emerged, including the Maintaining Internal Attention network (MAIN) which, while active for all conditions, was more strongly engaged during the imagination and semantic association control conditions than during the Recall condition, suggesting a role in constructing novel associations. These results suggest that the DMN does not support autobiographical simulation alone, but co-activates with the MDN and MAIN networks, with the timing of peak activations depending on evolving task demands during the simulation process.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: In the health sciences, it can take up to 17 years for 14% of research findings to be adopting in clinical practice. Adopting a learning health system (LHS) approach may help accelerate the transition of medico-administrative and clinical data to knowledge, knowledge to performance, and performance to data. However, little is currently known about whether healthcare organizations are both willing and able to adopt such an innovation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to generate validity evidence in support of a measure assessing healthcare organizations’ readiness to implement an LHS approach. Methods and Analysis: A three round Delphi method will be used to establish consensus on the relevance, clarity, and comprehensiveness of the LHS readiness questionnaire’s domains, subdomains, and items. The questionnaire has been developed based on a review of the literature. Participants with expertise in LHS across Canada and internationally will be purposively recruited using a modified Dillman approach, with opportunities for additional snowball sampling. Descriptive statistics will be calculated from all closed-ended Delphi survey responses. A conventional content analysis will be conducted on all open-ended responses. Ethics and Dissemination: Institutional Research Ethics Board approval has been obtained (AO3-E23-24B). The findings of this study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications, academic conferences, knowledge mobilization workshops, and through policy briefs and position papers.

Authors: Rahmawati Dea Mutiarani , Novani Santi
Published: June 2024

This study investigates how Indonesian micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) food service, specifically two bakeries and restaurants, are embracing circular economy principles to become more sustainable and meet consumer demands. By conducting semi-structured interviews with co-founders and operational managers, it uncovers that sourcing locally is a pivotal strategy for these businesses, driven by the need for supply chain efficiency, environmental and social benefits, and partnerships with local farmers. These practices allow for the provision of local and wholesome menu items, sustainable packaging, and collaborative social responsibility efforts with suppliers. Despite facing challenges like supplier standardization, quality control, and educating employees on waste sorting, the benefits of adopting circular economy practices are clear. Key to success are stakeholder cooperation, effective waste management, and pollution prevention. The findings enrich our understanding of circular economy adoption in the food service sector and offer insights for businesses aiming to boost their sustainability.

Bayesian Factor Mixture Modeling with Response Time for Detecting Careless Respondents
Authors: Zhang Lijin , Ulitzsch Esther , Domingue Benjamin
Published: June 2024

Careless respondents inject noise into data which can distort research findings and compromise model fit. To address this, factor mixture modeling (FMM) has been widely used to identify careless respondents. Traditionally, researchers have relied on reverse-worded questions in FMM to facilitate the detection of careless responding. With the rise of online data collection platforms, response time has appeal as a means for detecting careless respondents. We introduce a Bayesian factor mixture model that utilizes response time to identify careless respondents. By jointly modeling responses and response time, this approach effectively identifies careless individuals exhibiting rapid and random response styles. Through simulation studies, we found that: (1) the proposed model achieves high estimation accuracy of key model parameters (i.e., loadings and intercepts); (2) it demonstrates high accuracy and sensitivity in correctly classifying respondents as either attentive or careless; and (3) it maintains classification error rates at an acceptable level. An additional benefit is that incorporating response time into the model enhances model convergence as well as accuracy of classification and estimation. An empirical study tests the applicability of the proposed model in real-world scenarios, comparing its performance to the traditional method based on reverse-worded questions. The results underscore the practical advantages of enriching FMM with collateral response time information in excluding careless responses and improving data quality.

Film Wandy Jakubowskiej i Igora Newerlego „Król Maciuś I" (1957) – recepcja medialna i przesłanie ideowo-wychowawcze
Authors: Uljasz Adrian
Published: June 2024

In his article, Adrian Uljasz discusses media reception and the ideological and educational message of the adaptation of Janusz Korczak’s novel King Matt the First, the film King Matthew I (directed by Wanda Jakubowska, screenplay by Wanda Jakubowska and Igor Newerly) (1957). Uljasz addresses the means of artistic expression on which the authors based the educational message of this film. By media reception Uljasz understands the reception of Jakubowska and Newerly’s works in the media, from traditional printed works to the contemporary metamedium, the Internet. This research topic has gained in importance due to the anniversaries related to Korczak and Newerly. In 2022, eighty years had passed since the deaths of Korczak and his pupils and employees from the Jewish orphanage in Warsaw (1942). 1987 saw the death of Igor Newerly, educator and writer, co-author of the script for Jakubowska’s adaptation and Korczak’s close associate from the Warsaw orphanage. The film can be regarded in terms of transference of the views of these two writers-educators.
The New Opportunities in Korczakian Documentary Research. Love and Friendship Among Pupils in the Orphans’ Home
Authors: Lasota Wojciech
Published: June 2024

The main aim of this article is to show an example of the new opportunities in Korczakian research. They have arisen due to the development of digital history and recently donated or hitherto unused archival resources. The article also adopts the perspective of deepening the knowledge of those aspects of the Korczak research field that is not directly related to Janusz Korczak, his biography and pedagogy. I consider it important to explore the topics and biographies of people around Korczak, not only Stefania Wilczyńska, but also children, educators or staff. The more complete the picture of Korczak’s universe, the better we will understand the multidirectional influences and connections between individuals and topics. My ambition was also to introduce non-Polish-speaking researchers to Korczak source materials that are rarely translated from Polish. My preliminary research, based on almost unknown sources from the archives of Lohamei Ha’Getaot in Israel (Ghetto Fighters’ House Archives), served as an example of how to take advantage of new opportunities. I adopted a microhistorical approach and analyzed personal documents, primarily letters of the pupils of the Orphans’ Home from 1938/1939–1941. The content of the sources made it possible to look at love and friendship relationships among the teenagers in the Orphans’ Home. I also discuss the topics of love and friendship in the pedagogical context of Janusz Korczak’s approach. Their intimate stories complement the knowledge of the history and functioning of the Orphans’ Home that we get from Korczak’s writings, Wilczyńska’s texts and other documents. In turn, the intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that can be captured in the sources I examined allow us to assume that also in the aspect of love and friendship relations, we can capture the positive impact of the Orphans’ Home on its pupils.
Rola odkrywania i rozwijania siebie w kształceniu przyszłych nauczycieli – analizy i refleksje z praktyki akademickiej
Authors: Pyrzyk-Kuta Aleksandra
Published: June 2024

The paper addresses the contexts of pedeutology, incidentally revealed in the literature, considering personal development as an important educational element preparing for the role of a teacher. Pedagogy is a praxeological science, linked to continuous development and inspiration search, the acquisition of new theoretical knowledge and methodological skills, supplemented with the development of interpersonal competences and improvement of self-knowledge. Hence, an important element of the academic training of future teachers is personal development classes. It is also necessary to develop a curriculum of courses with the widest possible range of optional workshop classes, which help students build their self-knowledge, recognise and discover their individual areas of self-fulfilment, and develop self-creation competences. The analyses of the narratives of pre-school education students and early childhood pedagogy of the University of Silesia in Katowice show the relevance and efficiency of self-improvement through participation in workshops based on dance and movement, and in other expressive activities, which are indeed an integral part of academic education.

Longitudinal characteristics of bepress Digital Commons R1 and R2 institutional repositories
Authors: Ghaphery Jimmy , Childs Abbey , Bjork Karen
Published: June 2024

Introduction: This study presents longitudinal findings on the size, usage, and other characteristics of institutional repositories of Carnegie R1 and R2 institutions using the Digital Commons bepress (bepress) platform.
Methods: In 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023, a subset of bepress repositories (R1 and R2 institutions) were visited in order to gather data on number of items, downloads, journal presence, and theses and dissertations, as well as changes in the bepress customer base.
Results: During this period, the total number of R1 and R2 bepress institutions grew from 76 in 2017 to 90 in 2019, followed by declines to 86 in 2021 and 82 in 2023. From 2017 to 2023, 15 R1 or R2 institutions were observed leaving bepress, and 12 joined. These 84 institutions, on average, represented upward of 30% of all the Carnegie R1s and R2s and 17% of bepress customers.
Discussion: Results show a growing body of items within these repositories along with increased downloads. From 2017 to 2023, the bepress R1 and R2 institutions added a total of almost 1.8 million items and recorded more than 416 million downloads. The total number of items in the R1 and R2 bepress repositories was 3,061,447 in 2023. While the R1 institutions generally had more items, downloads per item were similar between R1 and R2 institutions. Theses and dissertations were downloaded at a higher rate than the rest of the items in the R1 and R2 bepress repositories. The presence of journals was found in more than 84% of the repositories, and almost all of the R1 bepress repositories.
Conclusion: The results paint a picture of potential repository needs with regard to technical scale and future growth needs, as well as provide some benchmarking data for individual repositories. The results also point toward repository needs in terms of features to support, manage, and potentially grow these collections. The observable capacity, impact, and needs of the bepress R1 and R2 repositories from 2017 to 2023 are especially relevant at a time when institutional repositories are maturing alongside ongoing conversations regarding ownership of scholarly communications infrastructure.
Nephrostomy tube versus ureteral stent for obstructing septic calculi: A nationwide propensity score–matched analysis
Authors: Wong Rachel , Ziegler Jennifer , Bal Dhiraj S , Lother Sylvain A , Patel Premal , Rush Barret
Published: June 2024

Background:

Sepsis secondary to obstructive uropathy is a urological emergency that requires urgent decompression using placement of a percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN) or retrograde ureteric stent (RUS). Whether selection of PCN or RUS impacts mortality remains uncertain.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using the 2006–2014 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) of 34,009 patients with sepsis and obstructive uropathy who were treated with RUS or PCN. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay, need for mechanical ventilation, and need for dialysis. Multivariate logistic regression and propensity matched analyses were used to evaluate the effect of PCN or RUS on in-hospital mortality.

Results:

A total of 9,828 (28.9%) patients were treated with PCN and 24,181 (71.1%) with RUS. The unadjusted mortality for PCN and RUN patients was 5.3% and 2.8%, respectively. Those treated with PCN had a higher likelihood of requiring mechanical ventilation or hemodialysis. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, RUS had lower odds of mortality compared to PCN (OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.63 to 0.83, p < 0.01). After propensity score matching, the mortality for the RUS group was 3.4% and 4.0% for the PCN group ( p = 0.19).

Conclusion:

There were no significant differences in mortality for patients treated with PCN versus RUS after propensity matching. Method of decompression should be guided by local practice. Further prospective randomized trials are needed.

Authors: Saatchi Ariana , Silverman Michael , Shariff Salimah Z , Patrick David M , Morris Andrew M , Reid Jennifer N , Povitz Marcus , McCormack James , Lalji Fawziah Marra
Published: June 2024

Background:

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are responsible for a significant portion of female, outpatient antibiotic prescriptions. Especially true in uncomplicated cases, where symptoms remain the cornerstone of diagnosis, ensuring the optimal choice of agent, dose, and duration may mitigate future bacterial resistance and lower the likelihood of adverse events and/or recurrence. This study is the first in Canada to examine the quality of antibiotic prescribing to females in the outpatient setting, for uncomplicated UTI–by agent, dose, and duration.

Methods:

All adult female residents of British Columbia with a physician record for cystitis from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018, were identified. Patients with a history of urologic abnormalities, spinal cord injury, catheter use, kidney transplant, as well as pregnant females, were excluded. Primary outcomes included the proportion of total episodes prescribed and the proportion of appropriate antibiotic use, examined using Poisson regression.

Results:

A total of 182,162 episodes of cystitis were examined, with 70% receiving an antibiotic prescription. The rate of cystitis-associated prescribing was 697 prescriptions per 1,000 population. Overall, 35% of prescriptions were appropriate by guideline adherence or clinical justification. Nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, accounted for 71% of total antibiotic use. Seven days was the most commonly dispensed duration of therapy, followed by 5, then 10.

Conclusions:

Shortening length of therapy in line with clinical guidelines and encouraging the use of first line agents present clear, actionable targets for provincial stewardship efforts.

This research aims to determine the manifest and latent functions of women entrepreneurs and what impacts they have on economic development in Sabang City. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the latent function and manifest function always appear in every condition. This can be seen from (1) Difficult economic factors have proven to encourage female entrepreneurs to get involved in the business world. For the government this is a desired function (manifest function). However, for women's personal lives, this is an undesirable function because it causes women's duties and responsibilities as wives and mothers to increase. (2) Environmental factors, the support of the women's entrepreneurial community is also a strength in women's entrepreneurship. This is certainly a manifest function for economic development in Sabang City. However, it is a latent function for the individual woman herself due to (3) Family Factors, women who are entrepreneurs are proven to be more productive, can also make the family prosperous and increase regional income (manifest function). Meanwhile, in terms of parenting, it becomes an obstacle due to dual roles. Thus, these three factors are a manifestation of a social system that is considered functional for a group, but this can also be non-functional for other groups.
About the Cover Image

This issue's cover image: As part of the same AHRC-funded research project about gay male “pig” masculinities that led to the conference behind this special issue, I had the pleasure of working with an incredible film crew to produce a short experimental documentary titled Oink!. Having originally planned to shoot a feature-length documentary, the first COVID-19 lockdown was eventually announced to come into force one week after we had planned to start filming in Berlin. Adding to all the anxieties associated with a new, not fully-known, pandemic, we had to change our filming schedule and concept in order to respond to the virus. As such, a film that we had planned to film over a whole month and across a variety of locations, private and public, to document a gay male sex culture in which exchanges of bodily fluids have a core role, we were forced to condense filming into the last week before lockdown and to cut out all the plans to film in sex clubs and dark rooms. The film thus gained an unexpected layer of nostalgia for a very recent time when bodies had been able to touch and exchange fluids (once again) without fear. For the most part, the bodies in the film are alone in their private spaces, and intimacy and the intensity of sex becomes something that is only talked about, visually alluded to, but never shown. In that context, the photo in the cover of this issue, a production photo I took during filming, is somewhat charged with that very longing. It no longer just depicts a man looking for a hookup on a mobile phone app, but it also signals the painful desire for human contact—for touch, sex, and intimacy—at a time when public health measures were about to be put in place that would restrict the satisfaction of that important human need. I would like to thank Liz Rosenfeld, Rob Eagle, Rufai Ajala, and Liam Byrne for having gone through that journey with me. And special thanks to Giovanni, depicted in the cover image, for his hospitality and candor.
From Integration to Deportation
Authors: Rytter Mikkel
Published: June 2024

Following the so-called “paradigm shift” in Danish refugee policy in 2019, the previous ambition of “integration” was replaced by a state strategy of revocation and deportation. This article suggests that the political change reflects the development of a particular “grammar of identity,” where refugees are viewed as exogenous “others” who are neither seen nor recognized as part of the Danish nation and welfare state. The grammar tends to cast externalization as a reasonable and necessary solution to current challenges—best illustrated by the utopic–dystopic vision of sending asylum-seekers off to camps in Rwanda. Finally, the article discusses the risk of the current grammar transmuting into an “anti-grammar” of ethnic annihilation by means of externalization and deportation.
Off the Rails
Authors: Heywood Paolo , Reed Adam
Published: June 2024

This introduction situates the trolley problem and other such dilemmas in anthropological debates about contextualization and abstraction both within and beyond the realm of the moral. We highlight some of the criticisms anthropologists have made of the “thinness” of ethical thought experiments while also suggesting some ways in which philosophers might wish to defend them. We also point to a growing interest on the part of a range of anthropologists in formalized, stylized, and abbreviated modes of ethical reasoning, and emphasize the importance of attending to such forms of reasoning, even though they may conflict with our disciplinary preference for the “thick” and the contextualized.
Life on the Lifeboat
Authors: Reed Adam
Published: June 2024

Animal protection activism has a longstanding relationship to formal philosophizing, most notably through the philosophy of animal rights. Within that tradition, the stylized ethical dilemma plays an important role. This is especially true for the formative work of Tom Regan, where the lifeboat problem is a central argumentative resource. Based on fieldwork with a Scottish animal protection organization, this article explores that relationship but also examines how else activists approach the use of stylized and abbreviated examples. More broadly, the article is concerned with the equivocating relationship at the heart of this practice—that is, between ethical dilemmas and their apparent stylizations, and, on the other hand, between dilemmas and the philosophical arguments that they are taken to serve.

If trolley problems are accused of simplifying, does this mean anthropologists only ever make things more complex? This afterword focuses on anthropology's own techniques of simplification, in particular, comparison.

Bunun yanı sıra icracının, eseri icra etmeden önce, eserin formunu ve özellikle 20. yüzyıl müziklerinde eser içerisinde hangi modern tekniklere yer verildiğini bilmesi oldukça önemlidir. Tüm bunlar icracıyı bestecinin isteklerini benimseyerek eseri en uygun ve doğru şekilde seslendirmeye hazırlayacaktır.

Multilayered Resonance: Re-imaginations of the history of Âşıklık [Minstrelsy]
Authors: Çalışkan Faruk
Published: June 2024

This article critically examines the historiography of the Turkish âşıklık [minstrelsy] tradition by assessing the agency and histories of âşıks [minstrels] through various ontologies to challenge the classifications and generalizations imposed by narrators in the recounting of mainstream âşık history. Specifically, Mehmed Fuad Köprülü’s (1890-1966) seminal research on âşıks and their tradition remains a guiding reference in shaping the overall historical narrative and subsequent academic studies. Traces of Köprülü’s canon are still present in contemporary research publications, which allows presuppositions regarding both âşıks and their tradition to persist in the national narrative of âşık history. To understand these multilayered circumstances, I use Actor-Network Theory [ANT] to shed light on the processes by which Köprülü’s canon is actively transmitted and reconciled within contemporary research networks, and I investigate the presuppositions held about âşıks and their tradition. Through a meticulous analysis of translations that contain assemblages of âşıks (human entities), objects (non-human entities), and discourses (non-corporeal entities), this article proposes a more inclusive past as a perspective, diverging from an exclusive historical narrative through ANTi-History. Moreover, it conducts an emancipatory ontological inquiry, critiquing the historiography of âşıks by tracing the paths of human actors across a broad spectrum that includes both non-humans and non-corporeal entities.
