Authors: Moody Gwenllian , Cannings-John Rebecca , Hood Kerenza , Robling Michael
Published: January 2022

IntroductionFactors that affect public and professionals' attitudes towards the collection and linkage of health and other data have been explored in the literature. Thus far there has been no study exploring attitudes towards the collection of child maltreatment data.
ObjectivesOur aim is to explore attitudes regarding the collection and linkage of maltreatment data for research.
MethodsParticipants included younger mothers, older mothers, care-experienced young people, and professionals who were responsible for recording child maltreatment data. Four face-to-face focus groups were conducted, one with younger mothers (n = 6), one with older mothers (n = 10), and two with care-experienced young people (n = 6 and n = 5). An online focus group was conducted with professionals (n = 10), two of whom additionally participated in telephone interviews. Transcribed audio-recorded data were inductively coded, a portion were double-coded by a second researcher, and thematically analysed.
ResultsThree major themes were identified. The first concerned issues of consent, specifically the conditions for providing consent and factors influencing this. The second concerned trust in data security and validity, the organisations and individuals providing and using the data, and how the information provided shapes attitudes. The third theme explored the benefits of research and the researchers' role in child protection. Participants wanted the choice of providing consent for data collection, especially when consenting on behalf of another, but there were concerns that maltreated children were unidentifiable in anonymised datasets. Care-experienced young people were concerned about data collection from Social Services records due to their sensitivity. There was a general lack of understanding about how research data is viewed and the accuracy of records.
ConclusionsNovel findings in the study were strongly related to the sensitive nature of the topic. The findings may be particularly useful when designing research studies and participant materials and a co-productive approach to this should be taken.
A response to McElroy and Lucas
Authors: Bertram Geoff
Published: January 2022

This brief paper comments on McElroy’s Note, identifying one or two potential issues with its data and statistical method, but welcoming another contribution to the substantial body of islands scholarship that has appeared under McElroy’s name. An important emerging topic for research is whether two key groups of small island economies – those that are now sovereign states and those that are (still) now non-sovereign territories – have followed diverging or parallel development paths since decolonization. Some evidence is noted pointing in both directions, leaving a wide-open field for future research.
A critical analysis of the impact of Island Studies Journal: retrospect and prospect
Authors: Stratford Elaine
Published: January 2022

This paper offers a critical review and reflection on the first decade of publishing of scholarly and review articles in Island Studies Journal. Following brief comments on the politics of publishing in any field, and in island studies per se, attention turns to consider how Island Studies Journal has contributed to and shaped the study of islands; reflect on what is written, by whom, using what broad methods of approach; and how the journal has tracked in terms of readership and citations. The final part of the paper advances a number of recommendations for the journal in its next decade, and invites both the community of scholars who identify as island scholars, and affiliates and allies in other fields, to be more strategic, active, and consistent in using this important scholarly resource.
Nutritional Habits of Preschool Children
Authors: Gazec Petra , Civka Kristian , Friganović Adriano
Published: January 2022

Introduction. Proper nutrition is crucial for maintaining good health and
provides the basis for proper growth and development of children and
adolescents. Insufficient physical activity and inadequate nutrition are among
the leading causes of mortality and morbidity.

Aim. The
aim of this research paper was to examine the nutritional habits of preschool
children.

Methods. The
study was conducted in April 2018 and included a survey of kindergarten
children and their parents. A questionnaire consisting of 24 questions was
created for the purposes of the study. The survey was conducted entirely
anonymously and voluntarily. Of the 100 respondents included in the study, 52%
(52) were boys and 48% (48) were girls. The average age of the respondents was
5.12 years.

Results. Out
of a total of 100 children, 98% (98) have a hot meal every day, while 2% (2) do
not. Cereals and cereal products are consumed by 97% of children, while 3%
stated that they do not consume cereals. As with cereals, 97% of children use
milk and dairy products, while only 3% do not consume them. 29 (76%) boys have
normal body weight. Four (5%) were malnourished and 3 (8%) boys were
overweight. 30 (70%) girls have normal body weight, 3 (7%) are malnourished,
and one (2%) girl is overweight. 8 (21%) girls were obese.

Conclusion. According to the obtained research results, it can be
concluded that most of the examined children ate properly and had normal body
weight. It is a worrying fact that most of the children consume sweets/snacks
on a daily basis, while on the other hand a large number of surveyed children
do not consume vegetables and fruits on a daily basis. Nurses in preschools
face the challenging task of integrating their professional knowledge into the
educational process.
Guidelines In the Work of Operating Room Nurses
Authors: Repustić Marin
Published: January 2022

Introduction. The use of guidelines in the work of operating room nurses
makes daily tasks easier and enables treatment in accordance with set
procedures based on scientific evidence. Additionally, the use of set
guidelines in the work of operating room nurses enables traceability of healthcare
and the best care for the patient, which also increases the safety of the
patient in the operating room during the perioperative period.

Aim. The
goal of this article is to investigate and determine if operating room nurses
are aware of the guidelines, if they use them in their daily work, and if the
guidelines are available at their workplace. The goal is also to determine the
opinion of operating room nurses about legal protection that the guidelines
provide in case of unforeseen events, as well as the necessary level of
education of the personnel setting the guidelines, and the effect of the guidelines
on the patient's safety in the operating room. Additionally, it is to determine
if the use of the guidelines reduces inconsistencies in the work of operating room
nurses in different hospitals, and which institutions are in charge of setting
them.

Methods. The
survey for this research was conducted by the author of this paper and was distributed
at the Congress of Operating Room Nurses in October of 2019. 210 operating room
nurses completed the survey, being of different levels of formal education, and
are employees of various Clinical Hospital Centres, Clinical Hospitals and
General Hospitals in the Republic of Croatia.

Results. According
to the results of the survey, 90 respondents were Bachelors of Nursing, 60 respondents
had a university degree, and 60 respondents had a high school diploma. The
length of work experience of the operating room nurses who participated in the
survey was between 1 and 30 years. The results of the research showed that the
majority of operating room nurses were familiar with the existence of the
guidelines and recommendations, and they used them in their work. Results show
that most respondents are aware of the need to use the guidelines, and that they
are available at their work place. Results also show that operating room nurses
feel that the use of the guidelines has a very strong influence on the level of
patient safety. Operating room nurses know that the guidelines provide legal protection
and that the level of the nurses' education is important for setting the
guidelines.

Conclusion. Operating room nurses use the guidelines in daily work
whenever they are applicable. Respondents have also developed an awareness of the
obligation to use the guidelines, as well as their benefits in improving
patient safety. They also provide legal protection in the event of unforeseen
circumstances.
Environmental communication for the rice field conservation in Semende Darat Tengah, South Sumatra
Authors: Yenrizal Yenrizal
Published: January 2022

Depreciation of paddy fields has become a common phenomenon due to the conversion of land functions from agriculture to non-agriculture. The reasons are due to economic factors, settlement development, or policy. In the Semende Darat Tengah of South Sumatra, the paddy fields remain, and even the areas are expanding. This study aims to identify and understand how environmental communication mechanisms are applied in local communities, especially in Semende Darat Tengah, South Sumatra, to preserve the existence of rice fields. Methodologically, this study was conducted through communication ethnography. The authors live and interact with the community and research environment. Data analysis is carried out during the research process by combining the ethical elements of the study. This study indicates that the ongoing environmental communication mechanism is based on knowledge and understanding of the prevailing customary order and knowledge of local physical conditions. This knowledge undergoes an internalization that occurs continuously, from the ancestor eras, since the settlement was formed. The internalization process can be seen from listening, comprehending, and performing activities that become a shared perception of the rice fields and the local environment. This internalization takes place in a variety of natural environmental communication settings. The three main aspects that build people’s perceptions are knowledge of the nuclear family level, interactions with neighbors and other communities, and the preserved traditional institutions.

Authors: Juliangga Wahyu
Published: January 2022

Digitalization created new development in the interactive model used by political actors. One of the models is video games as a propaganda tool for electoral interest. This study tries to elaborate on the role of a video game called “Petualangan Jokowi.” This study used Political Campaigning Games (PCG) framework with game analysis as the primary method with textual and user experience approach by the casual gamers. This study showed that the video game “Petualangan Jokowi” on advergames definition based on textual approach is a by-design game for promoting Joko Widodo and another political actor inside the games to casual gamers. This game succeeds in partially framing the political actors’ characters who will be the focus inside Petualangan Jokowi. But the casual gamers are distressed to get the political message which is shown by the symbol and the story because of the shortcoming of development in content and functionality. This study also indicates casual gamers do not want to stick outplayed Petualangan Jokowi because there is no incentive for casual gamers to play Petualangan Jokowi for a long time. This factor implies the not effectively framing process because the casual gamers only received partial political messages based on lack of experience played Petualangan Jokowi.

Authors: Kaligis Retor Aquinaldo Wirabuanaputera , Anshari Faridhian , Devi Sofia Primalisanti
Published: January 2022

TeleCTG is a telemedicine-based medium technology that Indonesia makes. Nowadays, Cardiotocography has only been operated by an obstetrician/gynecologist (ob-gyn) at the hospital. The occurrence of TeleCTG at Puskesmas (the public health center) helps midwives send the diagnosis online to an ob-gyn for immediate response. This technology helps to equalize the quality of health services. The research purpose is to analyze the innovation diffusion process in using TeleCTG medical devices for participation and empowerment of midwives as the frontline of public health services in the Kupang. Diffusion of innovation is a persuasive process of spreading innovation through specific channels among the members of a social system. Using an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design, then this research explored qualitative data through in-depth interviews with four informants. Questionnaires were distributed to draw the generalizability of the findings at the population level. The population is midwives from 13 sub-districts using TeleCTG in Kupang and cluster sampling techniques. Path analysis is used to see the causal relationship among elements of innovation diffusion, midwives’ participation, and midwives’ empowerment. The results found that the diffusion of innovation encourages the participation of midwives, then the participation level increases empowerment. The diffusion of innovation does not directly influence the empowerment of midwives, but there is an indirect effect of the elements on the empowerment mediated by midwives’ participation. As the final discussion, the participation of midwives is the key to increasing the empowerment of Puskesmas midwives in Kupang.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. Studies showed that the caregiving process has an impact on physical and psychological health, such as stress and fatigue.  This research aims to analyze the correlation between fatigue and stress in female caregivers caring for the hospitalized elderly in Medan, Indonesia. Method. This is a correlational study with a cross-sectional approach.  Data collection was conducted from March to October 2020 and 42 caregivers participated.  The data analysis was performed to analyze for frequency distribution and the Pearson correlation test was used to measure the strength of the correlation between variables. Results. It was reported that 47.5% of female caregivers were in the average age range of 47 years, and provided care almost 24 hours per day. The elderly had been sick for less than a year on average and showed some degree of partial dependence. Based on the results of the Pearson correlation test, the value of Sig. 0.000 < 0.05 was obtained.  Furthermore, the direction of the positive relationship can be seen from the sign of the coefficient (Pearson's correlation of 0.759), which means that the higher the fatigue, the higher the stress level.Conclusion. These results are expected to be the basic data for future research and should be considered hospitals regarding care for the elderly. This can reduce the impact of the stress on the caregivers’ which can affect the quality of care provided.

Language Learning Strategies: Contrasting English Department and Non-English Department Students
Authors: Agustina Sheila
Published: January 2022

It is a fact that language learning strategies can help learners to learn a language successfully. English learners who employ certain language learning strategy are believed to be able to master the language better and faster than those who do not employ any strategies or those who are not aware of their learning strategies. While learning strategies may affect the success of a language learner, a learner’s ‘choice’ of certain strategy can be influenced by one’s study background. Some previous studies have verified it by examining language learning strategies used by students of English Department and students of non-English Department using Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Thus, with the same instrument, this research aims to prove the presence of the students’ differences in using the strategies. This research is under a survey research design with students’ responses as the main data and questionnaires as the instrument. The finding indicates that English Department students make use of social strategies the most, while non-English Department students generally use metacognitive strategies. The implication of this research is to give valuable inputs for English lecturers of both settings in subjecting their students according to the findings of each strategy’s use.
Main Determinants of the Extent of Lymphadenectomy in Radical Cystectomy: A Study Based on Clinical Practice
Authors: Vale Luís , Mendes Filipa , Pacheco-Figueiredo Luís , Antunes-Lopes Tiago , Alturas-Silva João , Martins-Silva Carlos
Published: January 2022

Introduction: During radical cystectomy of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, pelvic lymphadenectomy is used not only for an accurate staging, but also to provide local and regional control of the disease. Although recent studies evaluating the anatomical extent of lymphadenectomy recommend an extended template, the relation between the extent of lymphadenectomy and the number of dissected nodes remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the main predictors of the extent of lymphadenectomy in patients with bladder cancer submitted to radical cystectomy.

Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 119 patients with muscle-invasive or selected high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer submitted to radical cystectomy between 2010 and 2015 at our institution.

Results: Standard and extended lymphadenectomy was performed in 87 and 22 patients, respectively. Extended template was statistically associated with a higher number of lymph nodes dissected when compared to standard lymphadenectomy, (14 vs 11 lymph nodes; p < 0.05) and showed a trend toward better overall survival, although without statistical significance (HR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.23-1.21). Extended lymphadenectomy was performed preferentially in patients undergoing an orthotopic bladder substitution (47.8%) relatively to other types of urinary diversion (around 10% - 11%). These patients had more lymph nodes dissected relatively to cutaneous ureterostomy (15 vs 8 lymph nodes), on average.

Conclusion: The surgeon’s decision about the type of urinary diversion to be performed is the main determinant of the extent of lymphadenectomy in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy The number of retrieved lymph nodes was associated with the extent of lymphadenectomy and with a trend toward better overall survival.
O Papel da Biópsia Líquida no Cancro da Próstata Metastizado
Authors: Glória Joana , Nunes-Carneiro Diogo , Fraga Avelino
Published: January 2022

O cancro da próstata é a segunda neoplasia maligna mais frequente nos homens em todo o mundo. A elevada prevalência do cancro da próstata, bem como o seu curso clínico relativamente indolente e as opções terapêuticas emergentes, conduziram à necessidade de identificação de biomarcadores que possam auxiliar nas decisões clínicas e refletir a resposta aos tratamentos. Na era da medicina de precisão, para uma correta decisão terapêutica é mandatória a caracterização individual de cada tumor. “Biópsia líquida” é um termo genérico aplicado ao estudo de biomarcadores atribuídos aos tumores que se encontram em circulação nos fluídos corporais de doentes com cancro. Baseia- -se no princípio de que nestes doentes existem células tumorais e fragmentos com conteúdo genómico de células tumorais que entram em circulação, podendo ser detetados e usados como biomarcadores para aplicação clínica. A maioria destes biomarcadores correlaciona-se com a carga tumoral, sendo mais frequentemente identificados em indivíduos com doença disseminada. Os biomarcadores mais estudados em doentes com cancro da próstata podem ser subdivididos em três grandes grupos: células tumorais circulantes (CTCs), material genético livre (como RNA e DNA - designadamente, microRNA (miRNA) e DNA livre circulante (cfDNA), incluindo o cfDNA total do doente e o DNA específico do tumor (cftDNA)) e micro vesículas extracelulares (onde há inclusão de material específico e único do tumor). Este conhecimento pode permitir desenvolver potenciais aplicações clínicas desde o diagnóstico ao prognóstico, bem como o desenvolvimento de biomarcadores preditivos de resposta aos tratamentos e de monitorização da doença.

ABSTRACTConfiguration and Placement of Load Measuring Instruments for Determination of Track Access Charge Values Based on Train Travel Realization Data: Based on the regulation of the Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation year 2015, the cost element that is considered as non-tax revenue comes from the utilization of government’s railway infrastructures and is known as the Track Access Charge (TAC). The currently used method for the determination of the TAC value often causes debates as it is considered not based on the actual utilization of the railway infrastructure but rather dependent on maintenance costs of the railway infrastructure that are spent by the government. This paper reports the results of a research study which was conducted to evaluate methods that can be used to evaluate the TAC value based on measurement data of railway operational realization in the field. Based on the historical data of train operation, this research design a configuration of weigh-in-motion (WIM) system which can calculates the gross tonnage and travel distance of all trains over a predetermined time period. This research also determines 20 train stations that spread across eight operational regions across the Java island as the primary locations for WIM system placements to help determines the TAC value that is more realistic and effective.Keywords: railway management; track access charge; weigh-in-motion; sensor placement.ABSTRAKBerdasarkan Peraturan Direktur Jenderal Perkeretaapian di Kementerian Perhubungan tahun 2015, komponen biaya yang diperhitungkan untuk penerimaan negara bukan pajak (PNBP)berasal dari penggunaan prasarana perkeretaapian milik negara atau sering disebut Track Access Charge (TAC). Penentuan nilai TAC yang digunakan saat ini masih sering menimbulkan perdebatan karena dianggap tidak didasarkan pada tingkat penggunaan prasarana, melainkan pada biaya pengelolaan/pemeliharaan seluruh prasarana perkeretaapian yang dialokasikan pemerintah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi terkait penentuan nilai TAC berbasis data pengukuran realisasi aktual pengoperasian kereta api (KA) di lapangan. Berdasarkan data historis operasional KA yang tersedia serta informasi yang dibutuhkan dalam penentuan TAC, penelitian ini merancang konfigurasi sistem weigh-in-motion (WIM) yang dapat menghitung tonase dan jarak tempuh operasional seluruh KA dalam rentang waktu tertentu yang diinginkan. Penelitian ini juga menentukan 20 stasiun KA yang tersebar di delapan daerah operasional KA di Pulau Jawa sebagai lokasi penempatan sistem WIM untuk penentuan nilai TAC yang lebih realistis dan efektif.Kata Kunci: manajemen perkeretaapian, track access charge; weigh-in-motion; penempatan sensor.

Development and testing of screening method for diagnosing the propensity for extremism
Authors: Kapustina Tatiana Viktorovna
Published: January 2022

The subject of this research in the propensity for extremism in the context of socio-psychological maladaptation of personality, determined via a newly developed screening method. The empirical object of this research is the school students of Primorsky Krai (n=395) and students from other regions of the Russian Federation (n=629). The author examines the retest reliability, content and constructive validity of the method, including its theoretical substantiation. Description is given to the test norms for two versions of the method (form A-1 for schoolers and form A-2 for students). Special attention is turned to the construct of screening method – the proclivity for extremism, which is viewed through the lens of socio-psychological maladaptation of personality and may manifest in the instance of the following criteria: signs of depressiveness, loneliness, dehumanization of others, sense of superiority, motives of vengeance, positive attitude towards death. The scientific novelty lies in testing and adaptation of the two forms of screening method. The main conclusion lies in the validation of the psychometric properties of the questionnaire. It is worth noting that the individual with propensity for extremism not necessarily would commit extremist actions, however, falls into a risk group, since their behavior in maladaptive state can be unpredictable, inflicting conflict, suicide, deviant behavior. Screening method for diagnosing the propensity for extremism should be viewed as an instrument for preventing extremism in youth environment.

A lot of the company's business activities failed due to not adapting to user needs and technological developments. Previous studies show that there is no way to implement UX guidelines that explain the specific user needs for the UX of e-commerce systems. Therefore, we need a way of implementing UX for e-commerce websites. We used usability parameters in ISO 9241-11, namely effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, to measure the system's usability and then conduct an interview to follow up the result. This research identifies how e-commerce companies implement UX best practices for their systems that can be used for other people who want to design their e-commerce applications.

Published: January 2022

Facial emotion recognition (FER) forms part of affective computing, where computers are trained to recognize human emotion from human expressions. Facial Emotion Recognition is very necessary for bridging the communication gap between humans and computers because facial expressions are a form of communication that transmits 55% of a person's emotional and mental state in a total face-to-face communication spectrum. Breakthroughs in this field also make computer systems (robotic systems) better serve or interact with humans. Research has far advanced for this cause, and Deep learning is at its heart. This paper systematically discusses state-of-the-art deep learning architectures and algorithms for facial emotion detection and recognition. The paper also reveals the dominance of CNN architectures over other known architectures like RNNs and SVMs, highlighting the contributions, model performance, and limitations of the reviewed state-of-the-art. It further identifies available opportunities and open issues worth considering by various FER research in the future. This paper will also discover how computation power and availability of large facial emotion datasets have also limited the pace of progress.

Social Internet of Things (SIoT) involves integrating social networking concepts in the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance social interactions among IoT objects and users. SIoT is envisaged to provide adequate service selection and discovery. Trust is an essential factor whenever social concepts are discussed in communication networks. Trust usually leads to a mutual relationship between two parties (i.e., the trustor and trustee) where they both enjoy mutual benefits. For secure social relationships, Trust management (TM) is a crucial feature of SIoT. The primary aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive review of trust management proposals/schemes available for SIoT. Four main trust calculation algorithms for trust management were selected for this review, and they were examined in detail. The IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles containing the terms "Trust aggregation approaches in IoT", and "Trust computation in SIoT" with a particular emphasis on works published between 2018 and 2021. The paper also discussed the pros and cons of each TM technique, trust metrics/features, contributions, and limitations of the state-of-the-art SIoT TM proposals in the literature. The paper further provides open issues and possible research directions for entry-level researchers in the domain of SIoT.

The development of technological advances in the health sector in the last decades has grown very rapidly. Currently, most people do not receive routine medical check-ups because of the long lines of patients and the expensive rates they must pay to see a specialist doctor. This causes many people to ignore the importance of routine health checks as recommended by the National Health Agency. The purpose of this research is to make a device that can perform routine checks independently at home, using an Arduino microcontroller for checking cholesterol, uric acid, obesity, and hypoxia. This tool has several sensors, namely Ultrasonic & Load Cell sensors to measure weight and height, which are used to detect obesity through the BMI table. In addition, there is a Pulse and Oxygen in Blood Sensor (SPO2) sensor to detect heart rate and oxygen saturation to detect hypoxia using the fuzzy logic method. Cholesterol and uric acid examination using the Electrode Based biosensor method with a digital detection device (amperometric biosensor). Testing the Tsukamoto fuzzy logic method system obtained a data accuracy value of 100%, following the rules set for classifying hypoxic diseases. The trial phase was carried out as many as 10 trials, where 90% of patients did not experience hypoxia, and 10% had mild hypoxia. The results of testing the BMI table method system for obesity obtained a data accuracy value of 100% according to the calculation of the BMI calculator. In phase 10 trials, 30% of patients were lean, 50% obese, and 20% obese. The system test results use a range of values, each with a data accuracy value of 100% according to the classification of cholesterol and uric acid levels. Ten trials showed that 70% of patients were in normal condition, 20% of patients with low cholesterol, and 10% of patients were in high limits. As for gout, 70% of patients are in normal condition, and 30% of patients are in high uric acid condition.
