Authors: La Torre Giuseppe , Leggieri Pasquale Fabio , Cocchiara Rosario Andrea , Dorelli Barbara , Mannocci Alice , Sernia Sabina , Guerra Fabrizio
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Health care providers (HCPs) and health care students experience a huge amount of stress due to high workloads and pressure to perform and are likely to develop anxiety, depression and burnout. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to carry out an umbrella review of systematic and narrative reviews on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing stress and improving well-being in HCPs and health care students. METHODS: Systematic and narrative reviews that examined the impact of mindfulness-based interventions on HCPs and healthcare students’ perceived stress were identified through a systematic search of three electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. RESULTS: Fifteen articles were included in the analysis: eleven systematic and four narrative reviews. Studies’ quality varied from critically low to high. The different interventions showed positive results in reducing stress in both HCPs and students, with mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course having the major impact. CONCLUSIONS: MBSR techniques and other mindfulness based interventions resulted to be potentially effective in reducing stress. However, despite the vast amount of data collected by the studies and the promising results, several limitations affected the validity of the studies. Therefore, more research that considers the critical aspects of this field is required, in order to provide more reliable results.

BACKGROUND: Although pulmonary rehabilitation programmes (PRPs) benefit patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), poor adherence to these programmes is common. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyse the factors associated with poor long-term adherence after completing a PRP. METHOD: We conducted a retrospective study of 70 patients with COPD who performed an 8-week outpatient PRP that included 24 sessions of aerobic training, skeletal muscle resistance exercises, physiotherapy and COPD education. The study classified the patients into 2 groups: (1) long-term adherence and (2) long-term non-adherence to the PRP. We considered long-term non-adherence when the patient did not attend the 32 weeks follow-up visit after beginning the PRP. We measured the degree of dyspnoea, quality of life, physical activity, anxiety-depression status, submaximal exercise capacity and COPD exacerbations in both groups. RESULTS: The patients’ median age was 69.6 [63.8–75.0] years, and 71.4% were men. The median forced expiratory volume in 1 second was 60.0 [47.7–68.0] % of that predicted. We observed total COPD exacerbations and severe COPD exacerbations in the last year in 32 (45.7%) and 22 (31.4%) patients, respectively. Dyspnoea, physical activity and quality of life significantly improved after completing the PRP. Long-term non-adherence to the PRP was observed in 32 (45.7%) patients. In the single regression model, severe COPD exacerbations (p = 0.04) and dyspnoea (p = 0.03) were associated with long-term non-adherence to the PRP. In the multiple regression model, only severe COPD exacerbations remained as an associated factor (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.1–8,1; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Approximately half of patients who complete PRPs present long-term non-adherence to the programme. Severe COPD exacerbations are associated with long-term non-adherence.

Authors: Bayindir Cevik Ayfer , Kasapoglu Elcin Sabahat
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: It is important to determine nurses’ levels of knowledge, health-protective practices for work and social life, and mental health states at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to combat the pandemic and minimize further problems. OBJECTIVES: To determine the relationships between knowledge levels, health-protective practices, and anxiety among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out with the online participation of 605 nurses in Turkey. The researchers prepared a questionnaire form to evaluate the participants’ knowledge of COVID-19 and their awareness and health-protective behaviours in work and social life. The mental health statuses of the participants were assessed with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire. RESULTS: Most of the participants (87.8%) had high levels of knowledge of COVID-19, while 28.8% had severe levels of anxiety disorder. The use of alcohol-based hand disinfectants (88.2%) and the use of N95 or N99 masks (88.5%) were the least frequently practiced protective behaviours at work, while in social life, a healthy and balanced diet (61.6%), social distancing (72.8%), and paying attention to one’s sleep pattern (77.3%) were the least frequently practiced protective behaviours. Older age (41–50 years), higher education (master’s degree) and having a work experience of 10 years or more were determined to increase the knowledge levels of the participants about COVID-19 (p < 0.001). Anxiety levels were higher in those with a history of mental illness (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Determining the knowledge levels, health-protective practices, and anxiety levels of nurses who are struggling in the frontlines in the field of health during the pandemic period can make a great contribution to the management of different current epidemics and pandemics and future ones by showing the areas in which nurses need to be empowered.
Building a digital republic to reduce health disparities and improve population health in the United States
Authors: Muennig Peter , Pabayo Roman , Courtin Emilie
Published: August 2022

Income, schooling, and healthcare are key ingredients for health, but most government programs that are designed to provide these social benefits are difficult to access. While many Americans struggle to pay taxes, few understand how difficult it can be for needy Americans to enroll in public social benefits such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (one of many income support programs), Pell grants (one of many tuition assistance programs), or Medicaid (one of many public health insurance programs). Perhaps because such programs are difficult to enroll in, only a fraction of needy families receive the social benefits to which they are entitled. That percentage is smaller for those most in need (e.g., those with disabilities or caregiving responsibilities). In this editorial, we discuss a novel method for improving health while also improving privacy, reducing fraud, and improving data system compatibility. Specifically, we propose a digital identity card that allows for the creation of a “digital republic” in which enrollment in social benefits can be automated, and the benefits can be targeted to those most in need. While there are large potential population health and health disparities benefits that could arise from a digital republic, more empirical work is needed to understand the extent to which nations have benefited from digital identity programs in the past and the political economy associated with implementing such programs.
Identification of Cervical Epidural Space: A Comparison Study between Contrast Spread and Loss of Resistance Techniques
Authors: Perper Yakov
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Early epidural space identification is critical to the efficacy and safety of cervical epidural steroid injections (CESI). Currently, the accepted method for epidural space recognition is the loss of resistance technique (LORT). I hypothesized that the contrast spread technique might recognize epidural space concurrently with or sooner than LORT and that smaller needles might be employed with the fluoroscopy only method but not with LORT. To test my hypotheses, I conducted a comparison study.

METHODS: The study participants were patients from my practice with a clinical diagnosis of cervical radiculitis divided into two groups of 20 each, who underwent CESI with either an 18G or a 25G Tuohy needle. All CESIs were performed utilizing the fluoroscopy only method. Then, LOR was tested using an Epidrum device that was observed for 30 seconds; if the Epidrum deflated, the result was positive.

RESULTS: LOR was positive in 12 out of 20 patients in the 18G group and 2 out of 20 in the 25G group. The 95% confidence interval test for proportion revealed a statistically significantly lower rate for epidural space detection by LORT in both groups: [0.385, 0.815] in the 18G and 

[-0.031, 0.231] in the 25G group. Statistical significance of the difference between groups in LOR accuracy rate (60% vs. 10%) was confirmed by z-test for independent proportions: z = 3.31 (p < 0.001), Cohen’s h = 1.13.

CONCLUSION: Fluoroscopy only method might be a safer alternative to LORT as it employs a different concept, might recognize epidural space sooner, and favors smaller needles.
Strategies by National Health Systems in the Northern Hemisphere during First Wave of COVID-19: Evaluation and the Way Forward
Authors: Zahidie Aysha , Iqbal Meesha
Published: August 2022

This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of strategies adopted by national health systems across the globe in different ‘geographical regions’ in the Northern Hemisphere to combat COVID-19 pandemic. Data is included since the first case was reported in November 2019 till mid-April 2020. Sources of information are COVID-19 case repositories, official country websites, university research teams’ perspectives, official briefings, and available published research articles to date. We triangulated all data to formulate a comprehensive illustration of COVID-19 situation in each country included. It has been found that the 2002-2004 SARS outbreak experienced in China, Taiwan, and South Korea saw better strategies adopted by leadership to combat COVID-19 pandemic containment as compared to Iran, Italy, and the United States of America. Saudi Arabia has so far been successful in the implementation of containment strategies as there is no large outbreak in major cities or confined areas as prisons. The situation has yet to unfold in India and Pakistan, which exhibit their own weaknesses in policy formulation or implementation in response to health crises. This review provides conclusive evidence that timely travel bans, early detection of COVID-19 spread through exhaustive and reliable testing, and the establishment of a central, fully authorized body to foresee health trends and implement appropriate containment measures are essential to contain the spread of the virus.

Published: August 2022

Background: Literature showed that HIV +ve individuals were deficient for vitamin D as well. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the top most commonly observed abnormality and an independent prognostic marker of HIV disease. The scientific groups’ emphases on the likely impact of its dearth on HIV infested populace. One of most communal comorbidities in HIV-1 patients is insufficiency of Vitamin D (Vit D), which is estimated by measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations. Patients having vitamin D levels < 20ng/ml (50nmol/l) were considered as having vitamin D deficiency. HIV infection & ART (antiretroviral therapy) may create risk factors for insufficiency of vitamin D, it also has a role in slowing down HIV ailment progression.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Medicine Department in Services Hospital Lahore from June 22, 2017 to December 22, 2017. 160 Patients with HIV confirmed by ELISA method were selected by non-Probability Consecutive sampling technique. Data was entered in SPSS v23.0 & Chi square test was applied.
Results: Out of 160, Frequency of Vitamin D deficiency was 111(69.4%). Results demonstrated that majority of patients 74(46.25%) are having disease for 1-3 years. While 54(33.75%) patients are having the disease for <1 year and 32(20.0%) are having the disease for >3 years. There were no significant differences between Vitamin D deficiency with age, gender and duration of HIV/AIDS (p-values 0.123, 0.136 & 0.634 respectively).
Conclusion: Frequency of vitamin D deficiency is very high. This recommends that all HIV positive individuals should be considered for routine screening. Low serum calcium should prompt investigation of 25-OHD levels.
Escuela de Teatro Bolshoi en Río de Janeiro: Integración entre arte, educación, arquitectura
Authors: Santos Vanessa Lessa Fraga dos , Salgado Mônica Santos
Published: August 2022

El presente proyecto es el resultado de la reflexión sobre temas como el ballet clásico, el arte, la enseñanza tradicional en Brasil y la arquitectura, cómo cada uno se relaciona y cómo insertarlos en la composición de un proyecto arquitectónico, habiendo sido presentado como requisito para la obtención Licenciado en Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la UFRJ. Se buscó un concepto que pudiera reunir todas las intenciones de diseño y que hiciera la correlación entre el arte del ballet clásico, el arte de la arquitectura y el programa de necesidades de la empresa. El arte de diseñar no debe seguir simplemente patrones, parámetros y formas rígidos y, en este contexto, buscamos desarrollar una arquitectura fluida y liviana que tuviera características de las artes y el ballet clásico. Para ello, se verificó la forma en que el cuerpo del bailarín realiza los pasos de ballet y cómo el eje de este cuerpo permite los movimientos y la fluidez de los pasos de la coreografía. No hay “bien o mal” a la hora de realizar un proyecto, lo que hay que tener en cuenta son los lineamientos, necesidades y especificaciones de cada público, espacio físico o cultura local. El proyecto de la Escuela de Ballet Bolshoi de Río de Janeiro suma conocimientos en danza, con clases prácticas y teóricas de ballet, jazz, danza contemporánea, flamenca, claqué y danzas folclóricas a la formación secundaria realizada en Brasil. Los alumnos aprenden técnicas de video y música, además de tener clases prácticas y teóricas de música, lo que amplía aún más su formación en danza, convirtiéndolos en bailarines más completos.
Responsabilidade tributária do grupo econômico
Authors: Caldeira Marina de Andrade Figaro
Published: August 2022

No Direito Tributário verifica-se diversas classificações de responsabilidade, tais como: por substituição, por transferência, por sucessão, solidária e de terceiros. Tem ocorrido muitas discussões acerca da responsabilização ou não do grupo econômico em razão de uma determinada empresa integrante do grupo ter contraído dívidas tributárias. Dessa forma, o presente artigo buscou investigar a seguinte questão: Haverá responsabilização do grupo econômico pela prática de fato gerador por sócio de uma determinada empresa pertencente ao grupo que incorra em dívidas tributárias? Objetivou-se verificar por meio de contribuições de autores da área se de fato o grupo econômico deverá ser responsabilizado por fato gerador praticado por determinada empresa pertencente ao grupo. Para tanto, buscou-se investigar na literatura específica de autores da área, bem como na jurisprudência e legislação pertinente sobre a responsabilidade do sócio ao praticar o fato gerador de uma empresa pertencente ao grupo econômico. A análise permitiu verificar que o sócio integrante de uma empresa do grupo econômico ao realizar o fato gerador e contrair dívidas tributárias, não vincularia as demais empresas do grupo, apenas se houvesse confusão patrimonial, dissimulação ou desvio de finalidade com o intuito de fraudar credores. Também foi possível verificar que só haveria responsabilização se as empresas que fazem parte do grupo econômico praticassem o fato gerador em conjunto e no mesmo momento. Diante disso, pode-se concluir que o grupo econômico não poderá ser responsabilizado por fato gerador praticado por sócio de uma determinada empresa pertencente ao grupo, com exceção das hipóteses já elencadas.

Authors: Sahai R.S.N , Shinde Ankita , Biswas Deepankar , Samui Asit B
Published: August 2022

The present work deals with the effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of alkali plus silane treated wheat straw reinforced polystyrene composites. Wheat straw polystyrene composite was prepared with different fibre loading (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) by compounding process using twin screw extruder. Samples were prepared by the compression moulding process. There was a decrease in the tensile strength initially at 5% fibre loading followed by an increase in it with higher fibre loading. There is an increase in flexural strength up to 15% fibre loading followed by decrease in it with higher fibre loading. There is an increase in the hardness initially at 5% fibre loading followed by decrease in it with higher fibre loading. There is an increase in water absorption with percentage increase in fibre loading. Tensile strength, flexural strength, and hardness of alkali plus silane treated wheat straw reinforced polystyrene composites with water absorption is always less than alkali plus silane treated wheat straw reinforced polystyrene composites without water absorption.

Наведено результати моніторингу спонтанного рослинного покриву кількох провідних інтродукційних установ Правобережної України: Національного ботанічного саду імені М.М. Гришка НАН України (м. Київ), Державного дендрологічного парку «Олександрія» НАН України (м. Біла Церква) і Сирецького дендрологічного парку загальнодержавного значення (м. Київ), який проводився упродовж 2020–2021 років. На території Національного ботанічного саду імені М.М. Гришка було виявлено у дикорослому вигляді 82 нових таксонів (види і підвиди) і нині історична спонтанна флора саду включає 730 таксонів (видів і підвидів), із яких 418 – аборигенні, 173 – втікачі з культури, 139 – ксенофіти. В ході моніторингу були виявлені місцезростання деяких малопоширених аборигенних рослин: Hieracium sabaudum subsp. virgultorum, Pilosella plicatula, Taraxacum scanicum, Tragopogon ucrainicus тощо. Важливими є знахідки деяких прогресуючих ксенофітів: Dysphania ambrosioides, Epilobium ciliatum subsp. adenocaulon, Erechtites hieracifolia, Erigeron strigosus, Euphorbia maculata, Hordeum bulbosum, Lamium amplexicaule var. orientale. Серед нових втікачів з культури високі показники натуралізації проявили: Arum elongatum, A. maculatum, Castanea sativa, Muscari armeniacum, Ornithogalum boucheanum тощо. Вперше узагальнено відомості про принаймні 20 натуралізованих ергазіофітів, які розповсюдилися за межі ботанічного саду на прилеглі території м. Києва. На території парку «Олександрія» виявлено 21 новий таксон, зокрема ендемічний вид Myosotis ucrainica. За новими даними, дикоросла флора дендропарку включає 850 таксонів, із яких 581 – аборигенний, а 269 – адвентивні. Також, було виявлено 4 види, які вважалися зниклими, включаючи 2 природні місцезростання видів із Червоної книги України: Neottia nidus-avis і Stipa pennata. У доповненні до спонтанної флори Сирецького дендропарку важливими є відомості переважно про адвентивні рослини. Надзвичайно цінними є знахідки спонтанних місцезростань 11 деревних втікачів із культури у долині струмка Курячий Брід, поруч із Сирецьким дендропарком, включаючи: Fagus sylvatica, Lonicera xylosteum, Rubus occidentalis, Taxus baccata.
Нові відомості щодо поширення рідкісного міксоміцета Tubifera dudkae (Reticulariaceae) в контексті внеску громадської науки у моніторинг біорізноманіття
Authors: ЛЕОНТЬЄВ ДМИТРО ВІКТОРОВИЧ
Published: August 2022

Tubifera dudkae − рідкісний вид, описаний у 2011 році. Літературні дані щодо його поширення обмежуються Україною (типовий локалітет), Францією та Росією. Водночас, вид відрізняється впізнаваною морфологією та яскравим забарвленням плодових тіл, зображення яких часто можна зустріти на веб-ресурсах, пов’язаних з громадянською (аматорською) наукою. Завданням цього дослідження було акумулювати наявні дані щодо знахідок T. dudkae, зібраних активістами громадянської науки, та об’єднати їх з інформацією, зібраною професійними мікологами. Матеріалом дослідження слугували зразки, що зберігаються у Науковому гербарії CWP, а також ілюстративні матеріали, що піддаються ідентифікації до рівня виду, поширені у різних мережевих джерелах (GBIF, iNaturalist, UrkBIN) та надіслані автору аматорами. Пошук інформації про знахідки T. dudkae у загальнодоступних джерелах показав присутність посилань на вид, але переважно з невірними ідентифікаціями. Водночас, якісні зображення T. dudkae вдалося виявити на ресурсах MycoWeb, www.dziedava.lv та у групі Slime Mold Identification & Appreciation у мережі Facebook. Загалом виявлено 23 спостереження T. dudkae у 20 локалітетах, 16 з яких є новими. Активісти громадянської науки вперше повідомили про поширення виду у Нідерландах, Латвії та Швеції. З одержаних даних випливає, що T. dudkae поширена Європою і Північно-Західною Азією у достатньо широкому діапазоні природно-кліматичних умов, від Середземномор’я (Крим, Лазурний Берег) до зони змішаних лісів (південна Скандинавія, Підмосков’я). Субстратні уподобання виду також відносно широкі: він трапляється на мертвій деревині дубу, сосни, ялини, оголеній або вкритій мохоподібними і лишайниками, а також на опаді хвої. Таким чином, T. dudkae справляє враження виду з широким діапазоном екологічної толерантності. Проаналізовані дані вказують на те, що T. dudkae має європейсько-сибірський ареал.
EUROPEAN STANDARDS FOR THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE FACE OF MODERN CHALLENGES AND THREATS
Authors: Качалова Оксана Валентиновна
Published: August 2022

Abstract. The most important problems in the use of information technologies in modern judicial proceedings are the establishment of a reasonable balance between the application of information technologies and traditional forms and methods of justice, respect for individual rights and freedoms in the use of modern technologies in the judicial resolution of legal conflicts. Purpose: to define international legal standards for the use of information technologies in modern conditions. Methods: the author applies such methods as dialectical, formal logical, structural-system analysis and synthesis. The results of the study make it possible to determine the main principles for the use of modern technologies in judicial proceedings: respect for human rights and the rule of law, access to justice, security. The basis for the legal regulation of the use of modern information technologies is a unified approach, independent of the specificities of national legal systems, necessary to overcome the challenges of rapid technological development that allows finding common practical solutions related to the digitalization of justice. The ideological basis for regulating the use of digital tools and high technology in justice is an anthropocentric approach, according to which the human being, his rights and freedoms are at the center of judicial activity. Such an approach will preserve and guarantee human rights in the face of modern technological challenges.

Published: August 2022

In this study, we consider a partitioned linear model with linear partial parameter constrains, known as a constrained partitioned linear model (CPLM), and its reduced models. A group of formulas on best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) and best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) in CPLM is derived via some quadratic matrix optimization methods, and further many basic properties of the predictors and estimators are established under some general assumptions. Our main purpose is to derive various inequalities and equalities for the comparison of covariance matrices of BLUPs and BLUEs under CPLM and its reduced models.

Bu çalışma; 1950-1960 yılları arasında Demokrat Parti’nin iktidarı döneminde Türkiye’nin Bulgaristan ile olan ilişkileri kapsamaktadır. Yıllar yıllı süren Bulgaristan’dan Türkiye’ye yapılan göçler, siyasi, ticari, kültürel ve sportif ilişkiler dönemin dış politikasının temellerini oluşturmuştur. SSCB ve ABD arasında süren rekabetin Doğu ve Batı dünyası olarak ikiye ayrılmasıyla Türkiye tercihini Batı dünyasından yana kullanmış ve dış politikasını buna göre şekillendirmiştir. Göç konusu başlı başına iki taraf ilişkilerini gerse de ticari, kültürel ve sportif ilişkiler olumlu bir düzlemde devam ettirilmeye çalışılmıştır. DP’yi geçmiş dönem iktidarlarından ayıran önemli temel unsur ise dış siyasette son derece aktif olması ve bölgesel iş birliği çabalarından asla çekinmemesidir.
SARTRE’DA HİÇLİK
Authors: TAŞKIN Fahrettin
Published: August 2022

Sartre, hiçliğin mevcudiyetini, bilincin salt boşluk olduğu savıyla ortaya koyar. İnsan hiçlikle kendi özünden ayrılmıştır. Hiçliğe bilinç aracılığıyla ödünç alınmış bir varlık bahşedilmiştir. Bilincin varlığı da gerçekte (kendinde) varlıktan ödünç alınmıştır. Bütün bunlar bilincin, tözsel olmayan bir mutlaklığı ifade ettiğini ve onda egonun dahi barınamayacağını gösterir. Sartre tarafından bilincin ve hiçliğin bu derin ilişkisi, insanın özgürlüğü, endişesi ve özü aracılığıyla ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Biz de bu çalışmada Sartre’da hiçliğin ne anlama geldiğini bu kavramlar aracılığıyla soruşturduk ve özellikle Sonuç kısmında, bazı soruların ışığında hiçlik ve bilinç ilişkisinin çıkmazlarını tartışmaya gayret ettik. Bilincin salt boşluk olduğu veya insanın özgürlüğünün kesin olduğu konusundaki yargılar, şüpheyle karşılanması gereken yargılardır. Bilincin salt boşluk olması ile onun özgürlüğün ve endişenin bilinci olması arasında çelişkiler vardır. Boş olan veya hiç olan nasıl endişenin ve özgürlüğün bilinci olabilir? Hiçlik, bilincin boşluğu veya insanın özgür olduğu savı üzerinden temellendirilmek zorunda değildir.

İbn Tûmert, Kuzey Afrika ve Endülüs coğrafyasında, Murabıtlar Devleti’nin yıkılıp yerine bir buçuk asır boyunca hüküm sürecek olan Muvahhidler Devleti’nin kurulmasını sağlamıştır ve bu nedenle Endülüs tarihini anlama noktasında önemli bir figürdür. İbn Tûmert, gençlik yıllarında ilim öğrenmek için Doğu’ya yolculuk yapmış ve geri döndüğünde ülkesindeki mevcut yönetimle ciddi bir mücadele içine girmiştir. Bu mücadelesinde de gerek kendisini mehdi ilan edip taraftar toplayarak gerekse savaşçı bir kitle oluşturup onları fiili bir mücadeleye hazırlamak suretiyle başarılı olmuştur.

İbn Tûmert siyasî kimliğinin yanı sıra, ilmî bir kimliğe de sahiptir. Görüşlerini çeşitli risalelerinde yazıya dökmüş, bunlar daha sonra Eʻazzu Mâ Yutlab adı altında birleştirilerek kitap haline getirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Eʻazzu Mâ Yutlab bağlamında İbn Tûmert’in bilgi anlayışını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.

One of the river products is fish and giant prawns which have high economic value which can be found in Bangka district, one of the places or rivers in Sempan village, Pemali sub-district. The river fishermen in the Pemali village fish and shrimp traditionally. The problem that occurs in these partners is that the boat still uses oars, this of course greatly slows down the movement in the river so that the catch of fish and giant prawns is small. Survey results on river fishermen partners on Sempan village, Pemali Bangka sub-district obtained data on the demand for a boat propulsion engine with low fuel consumption or a small engine displacement. The purpose of science and technology for river fishing communities is to increase the productivity of the catch of giant fish and prawns and as a means to save themselves from predators (crocodiles) when fishing for fish and shrimp in the river. The specific target of this IbM activity is expected to establish a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship between partners and proposers from educational institutions. Partners get the right technology in the form of Turbojet Drive, 3D Printing product with a fuel-efficient engine. Agreed to propose to replace the boat propulsion system which originally used wooden oars to be replaced with a special “Turbojet Drive 3D Printing Product” propulsion with a fuel-efficient 58 cc engine. By replacing the offered boat propulsion, it is hoped that the targets and objectives of this IbM can be achieved and the catch of fish and giant prawns will increase.

Successful pilot application of multi-attribute utility analysis concepts in evaluating academic-clinical partnerships in the United States: a case report
Authors: North Sara Elizabeth , Sharp Amanda Nicole
Published: August 2022

Strong partnerships between academic health professions programs and clinical practice settings, termed academic-clinical partnerships, are essential in providing quality clinical training experiences. However, the literature does not operationalize a model by which an academic program may identify priority attributes and evaluate its partnerships. This study aimed to develop a values-based academic-clinical partnership evaluation approach, rooted in methodologies from the field of evaluation and implemented in the context of an academic Doctor of Physical Therapy clinical education program. The authors developed a semi-quantitative evaluation approach incorporating concepts from multi-attribute utility analysis (MAUA) that enabled consistent, values-based partnership evaluation. Data-informed actions led to improved overall partnership effectiveness. Pilot outcomes support the feasibility and desirability of moving toward MAUA as a potential methodological framework. Further research may lead to the development of a standardized process for any academic health profession program to perform a values-based evaluation of their academic-clinical partnerships to guide decision-making.

The purpose of this study is to understand the aspects of transmedia storytelling that encompass the formal and content characteristics of media appearing in web dramas. Focusing on the web drama of Playlist, a representative web drama production company, a transmedia approach to web dramas were attempted as a hybrid content with both the web and drama characteristics. The expansion leading to OSTs and goods in terms of media form expands the scope of web drama text by allowing users to synesthetically appeal web dramas. In addition, a multi-layered pattern that encompasses expansion, modification, and change appears through close connection with web content that shares the web ecosystem. In terms of the content of the media, the construction of the transmedia storyworld, a key methodology of transmedia storytelling, is revealed. Plyverse’s fictional space gives an syntagmatic context to the storyworld through the social daily space, and based on this, the character functions as a persona representing the social space. The paradigmatic connection centered on the rituals of social space provides the probability of expansion and intersection where new characters can naturally appear

A Study on the Vocabulary of Gyubanggasa, Registered in the Late Joseon Dynasty
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Kim Suhyun
Published: August 2022

In general, research on Gyubanggasa has been conducted from a macroscopic point of view. So, there has been no research conducted focusing on vocabulary, which is the most basic in the analysis of works. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a paradigm for improving the completeness of analysis of works through vocabulary study of Gyubanggasa. A vocabulary is a set of words. Vocabulary is the smallest unit of meaning combination, and by repeating expansion, a single work is shaped. Moreover, vocabulary is the basic process of work interpretation and contains various information about the work. A vocabulary, which is a set of words that an author can use, reveals the author's perception and the world around him. This is also the process of finding out the literary level and characteristics of the named Gyubanggasa writer.
