Authors: Fontes Ana Paula , Marreiros Ana , Kovatchki Marina Gueorguieva , Barbosa Nuno César , Bernardino Daniel , Ramos Acácio , Sousa João Paulo
Published: April 2023

Patient satisfaction has gained relevance in clinical practice, and knowing the variables with the greatest predictive power in this assessment is vital. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between postoperative satisfaction of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and acquired functioning and to determine differences between sexes. This retrospective observational study included 183 patients undergoing TKA between 2018–2021. Functioning variables were pain, range of motion, gait distance, and WOMAC domains. There were significant differences in gait distance, pain, and WOMAC between the pre- and postoperative periods. Women had worse scores in final evaluation moments, although satisfaction was similar between the sexes. Satisfaction and the difference and the rate of change in WOMAC were significantly correlated. In the classification and regression tree analysis, the variable that most differentiated satisfaction in women was the WOMAC variation; in men, it was the pain variation rate.

Published: April 2023

Spinal tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases which according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is a major cause of health problems and one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to fabricate a 3D printing scaffold with the design of truncated hexahedron, then combined with Injectable Bone Substitute (IBS) paste as a method for drug delivery in the case of spinal tuberculosis. Injectable Bone Substitute (IBS) paste was synthesized by combining some materials including hydroxyapatite, gelatin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and streptomycin. The scaffold was characterized with IBS paste through the digital microscope and the mechanical test to determine the mechanical strength of the scaffold. The results of the 3D printing scaffold showed that the scaffold has interconnectivity between pores. After being injected with IBS, it was seen that the entire surface of the scaffold pores was covered by IBS paste evenly. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) tests showed that the surface of the scaffold has been covered by IBS paste, and proves that the pores are still formed. Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) test results showed that the IBS paste containing a hydroxyapatite component consisting of Ca, P, and O elements. Mechanical tests showed that the scaffold for all pore sizes had a compressive strength of 1.49-3.97 MPa before IBS injection and increased to 3.45-4.77 MPa after IBS injection. Then the bending test showed that the scaffold had a bending strength of 16.76-36.09 MPa and increased to around 21.57-40.36 MPa after being injected with IBS. The drug release test showed that the 3D printing scaffold could release streptomycin by 4.944%-6.547%, which has met the percentage of drug release that is able to kill tuberculosis bacteria. It can be concluded that 3D printing scaffold combined with IBS paste can be applied as a drug carrier as well as a method of healing spinal tuberculosis.

Published: April 2023

Today's prevalence of obesity is dramatically increasing and a two-way interaction between higher body mass index (BMI) and oral health is described in scientific litterature. Accordingly, the present study was aimed to evaluate the relation of BMI and oral health indicators. In this cross-sectional study, 240 individuals according to their BMI were placed in the following experimental groups; underweight (BMI<18), normal weight (18≤BMI≤24.9), overweight (25≤BMI≤29.9) and obese (30≤BMI). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and decayed, missed and filled teeth (DMFT) were obtained. Data was analyzed by SPSS 26 using descriptive tests and one-way ANOVA at the level of 0.05. The mean age and sex distribution of participants of experimental groups had no significant difference (p>0.05). GI and BOP were significantly lower in normal weight persons than individuals with high BMI (p<0.05). DMFT, the number of decayed, missed and filled teeth was approximately similar in all experimental groups (p>0.05). Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive significant relation between GI as well as BOP with BMI (p=0.000). Based on the results achieved by the present study, although periodontal health status of overweight and obese individuals was significantly compromised compared to normal weight persons, the dental health status was not affected by BMI.

Authors: Kanma-Okafor Oluchi Joan , Okechukwu Patricia Adaobi , Ozoh Obianuju Beatrice , Ogunyemi Adedoyin Oyeyimika , Atinge Sonnen , Longe-Peters Olukemi Arinola
Published: April 2023

Context:

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment support is one of the recommended strategies to enhance treatment adherence and outcomes. Treatment supporters are at risk of contracting TB and adequate knowledge of TB and good preventive practices are required for their protection.

Aims:

This study aimed at assessing the knowledge and preventive practices of TB treatment supporters at Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) centers in Lagos Mainland Local Government Area of Lagos state, Nigeria.

Settings and Design:

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 196 TB treatment supporters selected from five DOTS centers in Lagos.

Methods:

Data were obtained using an adapted pretested questionnaire.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with self-protection practices. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

The mean age of the participants was 37.3 ± 12.1 years. More than half of the respondents were females (59.2%) and immediate family members (61.3%). Overall, 22.5% had good knowledge of TB, while 53.0% had positive attitudes toward TB. Only 26.0% adequately protected themselves from infection. The caregiver's level of education (P = 0.001) and their relationship to the patient (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with good preventive practices in bivariate analysis. Not being related to the patient was a predictor of adequate TB prevention practices (adjusted odds ratio = 2.852; P = 0.006; 95% confidence interval = 1.360–5.984).

Conclusions:

This study revealed low levels of TB knowledge and fair preventive practices, especially among caregivers who are relatives. There is, therefore, a need to improve population literacy about TB and its prevention and a more focused orientation of relatives who volunteer as treatment supporters, through health education, with periodic monitoring during clinic visits, of how they prevent TB.

Authors: Majumdar Ishita , Nayak Hemant Kumar , Ghosh Rajarshi , Chatterjee Srirup , Roy Prithwish , Mukherjee Devdeep
Published: April 2023

Primary chylopericardium (PC) is a rare entity in the pediatric population with very few reported cases. Most cases of chylopericardium manifest after trauma or following cardiac surgery. The other etiologies which may lead to chylopericardium are malignancy, tuberculosis, or congenital lymphangiomatosis. We report two cases of PC in the pediatric population with contrasting outcomes. Both failed conservative management with dietary modification and octreotide. Surgery with pleuropericardial and pleuroperitoneal windows was performed in both. The first case had a thoracic duct ligation. The first patient died, and the second survived.

Published: April 2023

Over the past few decades, the role of pharmacists has been shifted from medicines to patients’ care. This article is a literature review of the several published works concerning consumers’ perceptions toward community pharmacy services (CPS) from different Middle Eastern Arab countries (MEACs). To identify consumers’ perspectives toward CPS in the MEACs. Standard search strategies were adopted using PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar for the published literatures (n=22) related to CPS in MEACs in the period between 2000 and 2022. All articles assessing customers’ perception towards CPS in the MEAC. Three themes were identified from the review articles: consumers’ perception toward community pharmacy practice, consumers’ perception toward the role of community pharmacists (CPs) and indicators to develop community pharmacy practice. Consumers showed varied perception toward different aspects of community pharmacy practice. The public showed good understanding toward the traditional role of CPs. Moreover, public is interested to extend the role of CPs. Several barriers were identified that limit the public from seeking medical advice from CPs.

Published: April 2023

The ongoing electrification and data-intelligence trends in logistics industries enable efficient powertrain design and operation. In this work, the commercial package delivery vehicle powertrain design space is revisited with a specific combination of optimization and control techniques that promise accurate results with relatively fast computational time. The specific application that is explored here is a Class 6 pickup and delivery truck. A statistical learning approach is used to refine the search for the most optimal designs. Five hybrid powertrain architectures, namely, two-speed e-axle, three-speed and four-speed automatic transmission (AT) with electric motor (EM), direct-drive, and dual-motor options are explored, and a set of Pareto-optimal designs are found for a specific driving mission that represents the variations in a hypothetical operational scenario. The modeling and optimization processes are performed on the MATLAB™-Simulink platform. A cross-architecture performance and cost comparison is performed, which shows that two-speed e-axle is the optimal architecture for the selected application.
Charcoal stabilizes pH and improves nutrients removal of bacteria-microalgae interaction: A potential for improving water quality in aquaculture
Authors: Salisu Abba , Umar Bashir Ibrahim , Zhong Zeyu , Yu Cong , Wang Yan
Published: April 2023

Aquaculture is prone to pH fluctuations depending on dominating microbial pathway in the management. The present study takes advantage of the influence of pH in changing the properties of charcoal to condition the pH and improve nutrient removal. Two Synthetic aquaculture wastewaters of 100 mg/L TAN were designed to test the pathway's nutrient removal and pH stability. Glucose at 15 C/N was added to one wastewater, favoring heterotrophic pathway. The other was free of organic carbon, favoring autotrophic pathway. Powdered charcoal was added to each pathway at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0% (charcoal weight/volume of media) compared to the 0 % group without charcoal. The result revealed that as charcoal percentages increase, the pH shifts towards stabilization and improves nutrient removal (p ≤ 0.05). At 4.0% charcoal, the pH was stabilized at 6.0 – 7.5 in heterotrophic and 7.5 – 7.9 in autotrophic pathways, which are within the optimum range for the survival of aquatic organisms, corresponding to the removal efficiency of TAN (99.96 and 50 %), and phosphate (55 and 17 %) within 6 days. Hence, for every 100 mg/L of TAN in wastewater, 4.0% of the wastewater volume as charcoal could stabilize pH and improve microbial nutrient removal.

Published: April 2023

The multistage bio-contact oxidation reactor (MBCOR) has been extensively applicated in the oily wastewater treatment. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms, especially the fungal community information during the bioremediation of low-COD and high-salinity oilfield produced water is still poorly understood. In this study, the fungal community succession, and fungi-bacteria interactions of a MBCOR were investigated. The result of Illumina high-throughput sequencing showed that the chemical oxygen demand was the main variable in influencing the community structure within the first tank. Besides, the linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis disclosed the feature fungal taxa at different stages, revealing that the fungal community shift was driven by its functional needs. Additionally, network analysis revealed that fungal and bacterial communities were highly interconnected and possessed cooperative relationships. Furthermore, the equilibrium of fungal-bacterial communities was primarily influenced by species richness and diversity. This study provides a deeper insight into the role of fungi within MBCOR in treating oily wastewater.
Crisis, consenso y nuevas realidades políticas
Authors: Villasmil Espinoza Jorge J. , Arbeláez-Campillo Diego Felipe
Published: April 2023

Las categorías de crisis y consenso son comunes a los dominios de las realidades históricas, políticas y socio-económicas, no obstante, su alcance y significado siempre debe ser analizado al calor de los acontecimientos, como condición de posibilidad para poder examinar, en su justa dimensión, las principales crisis que en lo político y económico definen ontológicamente la verdadera identidad del orden mundial vigente. En este sentido, el propósito de este breve texto fue doble, por un lado, se intentó discutir en términos prospectivos el estado actual y posibles desenlaces de factores como: la invasión rusa a Ucrania, la crisis financiera del 2023, la posición geopolítica de China y las nuevas agendas ideológicas de los grupos contrahegemónicos: comunidad LGBT+, mujeres, animalistas y ambientalistas, entre otro. Por el otro, se presentan los trabajos de investigación de este nuevo número correspondiente a la edición de Volumen 03, número 04 de Multiverso Journal. Todo nos permite concluir que, las crisis no solo son factores disruptivos del movimiento histórico de las sociedades humanas que terminan, inexorablemente, en etapas colectivas de declive, pueden ser también, oportunidades para la creación de renovados consensos entre los actores de poder, que conducen a la edificación de realidades y dinámicas diferentes.

Published: April 2023

La superación definitiva de la radiodifusión analógica por la tecnología digital primero y, más recientemente, por las plataformas (ciberradio-online-streaming), obligan a las emisoras de radio y televisión tradicionales a buscar estrategias para posesionarse, con las opciones de la virtualidad, y darse a conocer en internet. En este sentido, el objetivo de la investigación consistió en analizar los desafíos actuales de la radiodifusión digital en Ecuador. Metodológicamente, se trata de una investigación cualitativa, documental con alcance descriptivo. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que, en el Ecuador, los medios analógicos se encuentran en desventaja ante la transformación digital; sin embargo, migrar totalmente a un entorno de radiodifusión digital es una meta aún lejana, básicamente por los desafíos que tiene la radiodifusión digital, entre los cuales conviene mencionar: falta de personal calificado, el incremento de la competitividad, dificultades para la sostenibilidad económica e inversiones en equipos tecnológicos de vanguardia, creación de buenas prácticas, además de la superación definitiva del analfabetismo digital, cada uno de ellos pueden ser sorteados con compromiso por parte de los actores sociales del Ecuador, en aras de continuar con la primacía de la radio como una fuente de información y entretenimiento popular.

Published: April 2023

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio, acerca de las “Estrategias de formación sociocultural docente y el contexto evaluativo de los aprendizajes. La investigación se planteó como objetivo la generación de una reflexión sobre la pertinencia de desarrollar ese tipo de herramientas pedagógicas partiendo, tanto de los planteamientos teóricos de Lev Vygotsky como, de las realidades educativas en la educación básica en instituciones ecuatorianas, particularmente en Machala. Así mismo, entre las referencias teóricas se cuenta con la teoría crítica de Horkheimer, vista como una alternativa frente a la tradición fenomenológica-hermenéutica y positivista en el campo curricular. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, y considerando la naturaleza del problema, la investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque mixto con elementos de la hermenéutica y el análisis cuantitativo, el tipo de investigación es básica y el diseño no experimental descriptivo-propositivo. Entre los resultados destaca la necesidad que tienen los docentes de diversificar sus estrategias para contextualizar la evaluación de los aprendizajes, corroborando la pertinencia de diseñar una propuesta que incluya estrategias de formación sociocultural para una docencia de calidad, no solo en Ecuador, sino en otros países latinoamericanos.
Hiding and Revealing: Text and Image in Venantius Fortunatus’s Carmina
Authors: Derhard-Lesieur Gina
Published: April 2023

In his carmina, Venantius Fortunatus (sixth century) has left us three figurate poems that depict the cross as an image, while its verses describe the cross textually. He is thus an author who completely detaches figurate poems from the pagan tradition and inscribes them in the Christian one. The aim of this essay is to examine these poems from a pictorialist perspective. To this end, after a brief presentation of all three poems, they are considered, firstly, as ekphraseis that draw on a three-step representation: The figure depicts a cross that points to transcendence, the verses describe it, and they have the potential to evoke an additional mental image in the reader. Secondly, I examine what image and text, and thus the figurate poems as intermedial products, gain through the respective other medium. This results, thirdly, in an analysis of the figurate poems within the categories of iconism, aniconism, and anti-iconism.
The Meaning of agalma, eidôlon, and eikôn in Ancient Greek Texts: A Quantitative Approach Using Computer-Driven Methods and Tools
Authors: Jurczyk Thomas
Published: April 2023

This article analyzes the use and meaning of central Greek terms related to images in ancient Greek texts collected in the Diorisis Ancient Greek Corpus (Alessandro Vatri and McGillivray 2018). In contrast to the existing literature on the (religious) status of images in Greco-Roman Antiquity, Judaism, and Christianity, this article applies a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and computer-driven examinations with a qualitative analysis of selected sentences. The examination of the use and meaning of agalma, eidôlon, and eikôn considers various religious contexts (Jewish and Christian as well as Greco-Roman polytheistic), thereby embedding this article in the larger framework of comparative religious research on synchronic inter-religious contact.

The Co-Regulatory Coaching Interface Model: A Case Study of a Figure Skating Dyad
Authors: Bain Lisa , Young Bradley , Callary Bettina , McCardle Lindsay
Published: April 2023

Very little research has investigated co-regulated learning (CRL; Hadwin et al., 2011) in the context of sport coaching for skill acquisition. Although research indicates self-regulated learning (SRL) helps elite competitive athletes optimize their skill acquisition (McCardle et al., 2019), coaching literature has yet to examine how co-regulated learning experiences in joint work between a coach and athlete are associated with SRL competencies in an athlete. Thus, the objective of this instrumental case study was to describe the nature of joint work between an experienced female coach (aged 53, national level) and a male figure skater (aged 15, provincial level) in a naturalistic environment. Season-long data collection involved analysis of recorded dialogue at 16 practices and three interviews with each participant. Using inductive reflexive thematic analysis, we developed higher-order themes related to macro- and micro-levels of CRL, and implications of the coach’s progression on the development of SRL. The Co-regulatory Coaching Interface Model, representing micro CRL interactions, outlines contributions from each member and dialogue processes facilitating skill acquisition. SRL was both an expected contributor to, and a consequence of interface interactions. We discuss coach-athlete dyadic processes, what they mean for athletes’ self-practice time, and how the model contributes a new perspective on collaborative work between coaches and athletes that has not been emphasized in the coaching science on talent development.

Authors: Sabilla Shafa
Published: April 2023

The rapid development of technology has impacted people's lifestyles, mainly dominated by information technology users and the demands of an increasingly fast-paced world. FinTech is a financial sector innovation that utilizes modern technology. Financial inclusion in Indonesia has surpassed the 75 percent target, according to data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) gleaned from the results of the third National Financial Literacy Survey (SNLIK) conducted in 2019. The Indonesian government has set a 2024 deadline for achieving a 90 percent financial inclusion rate. Financial inclusion in Indonesia is the goal of this study, which examines the impact of FinTech on peer-to-peer lending services. Qualitative descriptive analysis and data collection techniques are used to provide an overview of the research results in this method. According to a new study, peer-to-peer lending in fintech can help low-income groups access financing, allowing them to grow their businesses. They are, however, constrained by a lack of formal funding. Many FinTech companies have made loans available to people from all walks of life, regardless of their financial situation. Financial inclusion will be more pronounced as a result of FinTech's presence.

Instalasi Pengolahan Air (IPA) Borang pada Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM) Tirta Musi Kota Palembang, terus mengalami peningkatan Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) dari tahun 2018 hingga tahun 2021. Peningkatan SEC tersebut dapat mengindikasikan adanya inefisiensi yang terjadi didalam IPA Borang yang merupakan bagian dari Sistem Penyediaan Air Minum (SPAM) Borang. Maka dari itu dilakukan sebuah kajian pada SPAM Borang untuk mengetahui penyebab peningkatan konsumsi energi dan potensi penghematan energi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan berupa pengukuran pada parameter kelistrikan, debit dan head dari 4 pompa air baku dan 4 pompa distribusi, analisis efisiensi pompa, analisis SEC, dan analisis potensi penghematan yang dapat dilakukan. Dari kajian didapati bahwa 5 pompa memiliki efisiensi kinerja pompa dibawah kriteria efisiensi energi 60%, pompa air baku P.1 dan P.2 memiliki nilai efisiensi 32,034% dan 11,132%, dan pompa distribusi CP 1, CP 3, dan CP 4 memiliki nilai efisiensi energi 12,563%, 48,885%, dan 24,85%, namun semua nilai SEC masih berada dibawah parameter kriteria efisiensi energi SEC <0,4 kWh/m3. Dari hasil kajian tersebut kemudian disusun rencana penghematan energi berupa penggantian pompa P.1 dan P.2 dengan potensi penghematan total sebesar 5.039,73 kWh/bulan atau senilai Rp 5.998.295,5/bulan.
