The effect of conventional physiotherapy and median nerve radiofrequency therapy on kinesiophobia in lumbar facet syndrome
Authors: Ege Ferhat , Ege Funda Çiçek
Published: January 2024

Aim: This study was carried out to investigate the effect of conventional physiotherapy (CPT) and median nerve radiofrequency therapy (MNRFT) on kinesiophobia in patients with lumbar facet syndrome (LFS).
Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 60 patients over 18 with facet joint pain persisting for at least 3 months and unresponsive to medical treatment were included in the study. The patients were divided into CPT and MNRFT groups of 30 patients each according to the treatment they received. The patients were evaluated for pain severity, kinesiophobia, sleep quality, functional status, and depression both before the treatment and one month after the treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively.
Results: There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment VAS, PSQI, ODI, and BDE scores in both the CPT and MNRFT groups. Additionally, there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment TKS scores in the RFT group, but not in the CPT group. There was no significant difference between the groups in any of the pre-treatment scores. There was also no significant difference between the groups in the post-treatment scores, except for the TKS scores.
Conclusion: The study findings indicated that MNRFT and median nerve blockade reduced kinesiophobia more than CPT.
Incidentally discovered extrauterine migration of a Lippes loop: should we let it stay?
Authors: Buz Yaşar Ayşenur , Dağıstan Emine , Aktepe Oktay Halit
Published: January 2024

Intrauterine devices (IUDs), a form of long-acting reversible fertility control, are often preferred for preventing pregnancy. The Lippes loops, made of plastic, are inserted into the uterus via the cervix, fitting into the uterine cavity. The non-medicated (inert) structure of the loop allows for long-term IUD use. Uterine perforation and translocation of the IUD are the most threatening complications. In this case report, we present an asymptomatic 79-year-old woman with a forgotten IUD that migrated into the abdominal cavity and was discovered during her follow-up for lung cancer.
Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesions of the Knee: Evidence-Based Treatment
Authors: Nammour Michael A. , Mauro Craig S. , Bradley James P. , Arner Justin W.
Published: January 2024

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a potentially disabling condition in adolescent and young adults, which is likely multifactorial in origin. In recent years, there have been notable improvements in identification and treatment. Clinical presentation varies based mostly on OCD lesion stability. Patients with stable lesions generally present with vague knee pain and altered gait while mechanical symptoms and effusion are more common with unstable lesions. Lesions most commonly occur on the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle in patients aged 10 to 20 years. Magnetic resonance imaging is vital to diagnose and predict clinical treatment, which is largely based on stability of the fragment. Conservative treatment of stable lesions in patients with open physis is recommended with protected weight-bearing and gradual progression of activities over the course of 3 to 6 months. Stable OCD lesions which failed a nonsurgical course can be treated with transarticular or retrograde drilling while unstable lesions usually require fixation, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS), or osteochondral allograft transplantation. This review highlights the most current understanding of knee OCD lesions and treatment options with the goal of optimizing outcomes in this difficult pathology.

Published: January 2024

Self-esteem is an individual attitude about his personality and the gratitude of his worth. It signifies an honest, suitable, steady appreciation of one’s value. Objectives: To find out anxiety, depressive symptoms and socio-demographic factors associated with self-esteem among male nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was selected and conducted with 155 undergraduate students of nursing students at College of Nursing and Midwifery, Sindh Government Hospital, Liaquatabad, Karachi. The Urdu version of the Aga Khan University Anxiety and Depression Scale (AKUADS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) validated questionnaires were used to collect data. Results: The study findings showed that 137 students (88.39%) had normal self-esteem levels, and 18 students (11.61%) had low self-esteem. Analysis of Self-esteem about socio-demographic variables revealed an insignificant association with age, gender, marital status, family type, socioeconomic levels, family income, residence, substance use, and education program. The only statistically significant association was found between the current degree year and self-esteem levels (p = 0.046). There was a weak statistically significant negative relationship between self-esteem and anxiety depressive symptoms ((r = -0.221; p < 0.01). Conclusions: The current research study concluded that nursing students with normal self-esteem levels were also suffering from anxiety and depression. The junior students were found to have more anxiety and depression symptoms and low self-esteem levels. Socio-demographic variables have no significant effect on the self-esteem of nursing students.
Traumatic thigh AV fistula leading to aneurysmal changes in aorta and iliac arteries
Authors: Zaki S , Hilles A , Chandrasekar R
Published: January 2024

Penetrating traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have the tendency to be clinically silent for many years and could be misdiagnosed as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) on initial presentation. A 52-year-old male underwent a duplex scan to evaluate swelling of the limb, which detected an AVF in the thigh. He was stabbed in the lateral aspect of the thigh 16 years previously. His left leg was larger with a palpable thrill in the thigh. A CT angiogram confirmed the AVF and aneurysmal changes in the common iliac artery (29 mm) and infrarenal aorta (32 mm). A moulding balloon was placed across the AVF by an antegrade puncture of the common femoral artery to control the arterial inflow and outflow. Following disconnection of the AVF, the defect in the side wall of the femoral vein was primarily repaired with Prolene. The defect in the superficial femoral artery was repaired by transection, spatulation and end-to-end anastomosis of the arteries. A Duplex scan performed six months postoperatively showed that the aorta (29 mm) and the common iliac artery (27 mm) had regressed. The authors suggest that, when faced with an AVF with a huge calibre mismatch between the arterial segment proximal and distal to the fistulous tract in a young patient, a hybrid approach should be considered for control and surgical disconnection of the fistula.

Race and Populist Radical Right Discourses: Implications for Roma Education Policy in Hungary
Authors: Lugosi Nicole VT
Published: January 2024

Non-government organizations and policy makers agree that the best route to eradicating the widespread discrimination and poverty among the Roma is to improve the quality of and access to education. A cursory glance at the Hungarian Government website suggests that policy makers are on top of the problem with good laws and initiatives in place. Yet, indicators from non-government groups and academics suggest the situation remains bleak for the Roma, and practices such as the segregation of Roma school children persist. Progressive change in Hungary first requires a serious confrontation of the widespread and deeply ingrained racism against the Roma. This paper makes no attempt at such an ambition; however, the paper aims to begin acknowledging the role race plays in populist radical right discourses about education policies in Hungary using a discourse analysis method informed by Critical Race Theory. The paper advances two arguments. First, there is a mismatch between official policy and actual progress on Roma education. Second, an examination of how populist radical right discourses about the Roma are racialized provides insight into why there is a mismatch.
Teachers’ Understandings of Critical and Higher Order Thinking and What This Means for Their Teaching and Assessments
Authors: Schulz Henry W , FitzPatrick Beverly
Published: January 2024

Critical and higher order thinking is essential to education, but it is not clear what teachers understand this to mean and what role this has in their instruction. We interviewed 38 teachers in Kindergarten to Grade 9 classrooms from 14 schools in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, to obtain their understandings of critical and higher order thinking in social studies and science, and how this affects instruction and assessment. The teachers believed that higher order thinking was important for all students, and attempted to teach thinking; however, they were less sure of how they might assess thinking. The teachers indicated uncertainty about what higher order thinking means, and believed they were not well prepared to teach or assess higher order thinking.

Published: January 2024

Elevating the continuous innovation capability of technology-based small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has consistently been a pivotal means for SMEs to distinguish themselves in fiercely competitive markets. However, within the academic sphere, research on the continuous innovation capability of technology-based SMEs significantly lags behind other sectors. This paper seeks to investigate the need and tactics for augmenting the perpetual creativity aptitude of high-tech SMEs, with the ultimate aim of allowing these businesses to reach greatness in this area.This study constructs a theoretical framework, based on the principles of continuous innovation theory and knowledge management theory, with knowledge acquisition (both explicit and tacit) as the independent variable, knowledge integration as the mediator, and continuous innovation capability as the dependent variable.The primary objective is to ascertain if (explicit and tacit) knowledge acquisition is seen as an independent factor impacting continuous innovation capability, and to investigate the mediating effects of knowledge integration in the connection between (explicit and tacit) knowledge acquisition and continuous innovation capability. Utilizing random sampling, 455 authentic surveys were conducted in China to fulfill the desired objective. The study scrutinized these theories through correlation and regression analysis, revealing that knowledge integration played a major role in tacit and explicit knowledge acquisition with ongoing innovation skills. The significance of knowledge acquisition and integration is emphasized in these findings, which contribute to the enhancement of high-tech SMEs. The results of this research are significant for small and medium-sized enterprise proprietors, decision-makers, and scholars, highlighting the critical role of knowledge gathering and amalgamation in boosting ongoing innovation in tech-oriented SMEs.

Authors: Ayébié Hermith Kouassi Ayo , N. Diop Fatou , Augustin Touré K.
Published: January 2024

In this paper we study the stabilization of a non-uniform Timoshenko beam with indefinite damping terms under boundary control and prove how the damping terms can affect the decay rate asymptotically. Using the theory of perturbed problems, we obtain the stability and establish the spectrum determined growth condition for the problem. Moreover, when the two damping terms are indefinite, we provide a condition to obtain  the exponential stability.

The most common problem of modern medicine is the development of increasing antifungal drug resistance nowadays
including fungal infections of the skin and its appendages caused by dermatomycetes, yeast-like fungi, and molds so, there will
be a need for alternative antifungal treatment. Natural substances with high antifungal properties like essential oils and their
components show potential in this regard. Citrus lemon and Citrus sinensis essential oils were screened against Malassezia furfur
by disc diffusion method and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration was determined by Modified Microdilution method. Citrus lemon
(lemon) and Citrus sinensis (orange) show excellent inhibitory effects on the lipophilic, yeast-like fungus Malassezia furfur which
causes Pityriasis versicolor, a chronic superficial fungal disease of the skin. The diameter of the inhibition zone was found to be
70 mm and 60 mm respectively. Malassezia furfur was found to be resistant against Clotrimazole & Ketoconazole. The minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC) of lemon and orange oil against Malassezia furfur was found to be 0.6 µl/ml and 0.8 µl/ml. These
findings concluded that the use of Citrus lemon (lemon) and Citrus sinensis (orange) oil showed remarkable and excellent
antifungal activity, and can be used as a traditional herbal medicine for the control of Pityriasis versicolor infection of the skin
after undergoing clinical trials.

With recent advances in the understanding of psoriatic disease, it is increasingly considered a systemic inflammatory
condition rather than limited to the skin and joints. A variety of biologics are available today for the treatment of psoriasis, but
with them, characteristics such as rapidity of onset, long-term efficacy, safety profile, and effects on comorbidities differ. We
designed an observational, non-interventional, retrospective study of patients with severe psoriasis receiving biologic treatment
with IL-17 inhibitors and aimed to investigate the correlations between etiopathogenic factors and the efficacy and persistence
of these therapies in a group of psoriasis patients from Romania. Study results show that patients treated with ixekizumab had
better persistence and high adherence compared to those treated with secukinumab. In this study, ixekizumab demonstrated
lower risks of non-persistence, discontinuation, and switching and a higher likelihood of high adherence compared with
secukinumab. This study contributes to the understanding of the persistence of anti-IL17 biologic therapies in psoriasis and the
factors that may influence it.

: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-organ autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by widespread
inflammation and significant morbidity and mortality. Organ affection includes joint and cutaneous involvement, pulmonary,
neurological, and cardiac problems, renal and hematological involvement as well as ocular comorbidities, both posterior but
mostly anterior ocular involvement. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate dry eye involvement in lupus patients. A cross-sectional
study was performed with the aid of a web-based, anonymous questionnaire that was distributed to both patients diagnosed
with lupus erythematosus and to a control group. A total number of 123 patients diagnosed with lupus and 200 responders in the
control group completed the questionnaire. Dry eye disease has already been diagnosed in 25 lupus patients (28.9%) compared
to 44 (21.9%) individuals in the control group. Dry eye-related symptomatology was reported in 43 (34.60%) patients compared
to 57 (28.35%) healthy responders. Upon statistical analysis, more symptoms were reported in the lupus group (p=0.01), in
responders diagnosed with dry eye syndrome (p 0.01), and in responders using lubrication (p 0.01) but no association was
obtained between the incidence of dry eye symptoms and the presence of the disease. The number of episodes of lupus
reactivation since diagnosis was correlated with dry eye syndrome (p=0.15) and the use of lubricating tear drops (p 0.01). Dry
eye symptoms and disease are more frequent in lupus patients and further research should be performed to understand the
connection between these two disease entities.

Background: Army operations produce various psychophysiological responses of military personnel. Traditionally, to
prepare soldiers for these requirements, military workouts have been based on long-distance and low-intensity training. Recent
researches suggest that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be more effective due to the characteristics of actual theaters
of operation. there is a lack of research on the actual effects of military equipment in the context of combat or HIIT training. This
study aimed to analyze the effects of military equipment on psychophysiological responses during a HIIT session. Methods: 20
soldiers of the Spanish Army (aged 27.3 ± 3.4 years; height 176.6 ± 4.7 m; weight 76.8 ± 7.4 kg) were evaluated after and before
a traditional running HIIT which consisted of 12 repetitions of 30 seconds at maximum intensity, with a 30-second rest between
exercises. Blood lactate, rate of perceived exertion and stress, upper and lower limbs, and respiratory muscle strength, skin
temperature, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, cortical arousal were measured before and after the training. Results: Results
are reported with their mean and standard deviation. Significant differences were found in RPE, SSP, BOS, and Lactate in both
groups in pre and post-training with the two outfits analyzed. Also, it was observed significant differences in HJ, UMS, and PEF
values when the group was equipped with military equipment. Significant differences were found in RPE pre-training values and
RPE, Stress perception, BOS, HR, and lactate post-training values. Conclusions: The use of military equipment during a high intensity interval training session produces higher stress perception and perceived exertion than the civil outfit. The mechanical
difficulty and the lack of operability in movements could be a reason for this psychophysiological response.

Spatial Relations and Police Legitimacy in a Digitally Mediated World

Cawthray and Bull in their study titled, “The Spatial Dimension of Police Legitimacy: An Exploration of Two Pacific Island States”, map the significance of spatial relationships – defined in terms of physical or geographical distance and social distance – in their analysis of police legitimacy in rural and remote contexts. They demonstrate the importance of connecting spatial relationships with police legitimacy by analysing empirical data from two Pacific island case studies. Their conclusion suggest that the relationship should be tested across a broader range of cases that include Global North, urban and virtual settings. This article takes up this challenge by focusing on the spatial relations of police legitimacy in urban settings embedded in a digitally mediated world. Our secondary analysis of ethnographic observational and interview data collected in neighbourhood policing settings in Belgium demonstrates how the proximity or distance between police officers in their interactions with both officers and citizens, whether constituted in neighbourhood settings or digital domains, can be linked to conceptualizations of police legitimacy. We argue that contextually defined elements of spatiality (physical, social or virtual) should be considered in assessments of how perceptions of police legitimacy shape interactions between police officers and citizens.

Data diperoleh melalui wawancara langsung yang bersangkutan dengan teknik rekam dan catat. Data yang berhasil dikumpulkan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Menjaga kesehatan mental itu sangat penting, karena kesehatan mental itu kesejahteraan fisik dan sosial yang bagus. Apabila kesehatan mental mereka terganggu otomatis kesejahteraan tersebut akan terganggu juga dan kembali lagi tidak terpenuhinya hak-hak anak yang mana hak tersebut harus dipenuhi. Selama ini juga terdapat beberapa anggota dari Forum Anak Batang yang kesehatan mentalnya terganggu. Sehingga harus dilakukan tindakan agar kesehatan mereka tetap terjaga dengan mengajak mereka untuk ngobrol atau sharing permasalahannya, jangan biarkan mereka itu merasa sendirian selalu temani mereka, ajak mereka bermain atau rekreasi, jangan sudutkan mereka atau hakimi mereka atas perbuatannya, jangan merasa kasihan didepan mereka karena sejatinya mereka tidak ingin dikasihani.

A Rainbow Flag Worth Defending? Swedish Armed Forces’ Pride Campaigns 2017-2022
Authors: Kehl Katharina
Published: January 2024

Recent decades have seen an increased mobilization of LGBTQ rights in the creation and maintenance of national(ist) identities. One example is how Sweden has been cast as exceptionally progressive with regard to gender equality and LGBTQ rights, in line with earlier notions of ‘Swedish exceptionalism’. Simultaneously, military institutions across a number of countries have attempted to mobilize issues around gender and sexuality in efforts to broaden recruiting and to re-define their societal relevance as security organizations. Since 2017, the Swedish Armed Forces have published a yearly Pride campaign, usually scheduled to coincide with Stockholm Pride, Sweden’s largest Pride festival. Drawing on a combined analysis of visual and textual campaign material, this article firstly looks at the ways in which LGBTQ rights are employed to ascribe meaning to the SAF as an organization and secondly at how this justifies the increasing rearmament and reterritorialization of Swedish defense in the face of growing anti-gender mobilization in Eastern parts of Europe and Russian aggression against Ukraine. By exploring boundary-making moves around LGBTQ rights in the SAF Pride campaigns, it thirdly reflects upon how sexual minorities are made intelligible within the context of these campaigns, and discusses the implications this may have for LGBTQ movements and their fights for LGBTQ rights.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir o papel da educação na promoção de saúde e qualidade de vida para adolescentes e jovens, levando em consideração objetivos e metas estabelecidas por documentos oficiais, como a Agenda 2030, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e, de modo mais específico, o Currículo de Pernambuco – Ensino Médio (2020). Utilizamos uma revisão sistemática simples como método para descrever possibilidades de articular práticas educacionais que contribuam na promoção da saúde e qualidade de vida, bem como pensar os limites e possibilidades do papel da escola, somada a outras instituições para a construção discursiva de realidades em que jovens e adolescentes estejam conscientes e atuando para um mundo sustentável.

O presente artigo trata da (im)possibilidade de responsabilização administrativa de reitores e demais servidores de Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior em razão de decisões colegiadas de seus órgãos superiores. Para tanto, apresenta-se o tratamento dado à matéria pela Lei 8.112/90, perpassando o sistema de correição do Poder Executivo Federal criado pelo Decreto n. 5.480/05, e destacando-se a autonomia constitucional universitária e a competência para processar e julgar reitores no âmbito administrativo, bem como as consequências de uma decisão colegiada no que se refere à responsabilização administrativa e identificação de culpa. O problema da pesquisa consiste em identificar se a Controladoria Geral da União tem competência e justo motivo para instaurar processo contra reitores e demais servidores das IFES em razão de decisões de seus órgãos superiores. Utilizando-se método hermenêutico, verifica-se a hipótese inicialmente levantada que dá resposta negativa ao problema.

Esta pesquisa apresenta a análise das respostas organizacionais relacionadas aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) dos três maiores frigoríficos de carne bovina brasileiros de acordo com dados da B3 e a Revista Exame. Os métodos utilizados foram a análise documental e a análise de conteúdo dos relatórios de sustentabilidade das empresas referentes ao ano de 2021, em que foram destacadas as informações declaradas de acordo com o GRI e suas relações com os ODS a partir dos temas materiais. A coleta resultou em tabelas comparativas dos frigoríficos e a análise das respostas organizacionais, principalmente, considerando a definição de metas relacionadas aos ODS. Foi constatado que os frigoríficos: (i) desenvolvem estratégias direcionadas aos ODS, contudo elas precisam ser definidas de forma mais clara e em termos de metas; (ii) os frigoríficos divulgam as informações para manterem a legitimidade e atenderem aos seus stakeholders nos temas materiais, e; (iii) as estratégias de disclosure dos frigoríficos estão relacionadas, principalmente, em relação a mitigação da emissões de gases do efeito estufa, a redução do uso e o reaproveitamento da água, o apoio as comunidades com foco na educação e a preocupação com o bem-estar animal ao longo da cadeia.

Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de diferentes protocolos de aplicação do sistema adesivo universal (Scotchbond Universal) utilizados nas estratégias condiciona e lava e autocondicionante na resistência de união na dentina coronária. Materiais e métodos: dezesseis coroas de dentes bovinos foram lixadas e tiveram a dentina exposta. Quatro grupos (n=4) foram divididos de acordo com o modo de aplicação do adesivo, microbrush ou escova rotatória. ER-MB: condicionamento ácido e aplicação do adesivo com microbrush, SE-MB: sem condicionamento ácido e aplicação do adesivo microbrush, ER-RB: condicionamento ácido e aplicação do adesivo com auxílio de escova rotatória (MK Life), SE-RB: sem condicionamento ácido e aplicação do adesivo com escova rotatória. Blocos de resina composta de aproximadamente 8 mm foram construídos em seguida, em todos os grupos. Corpos de prova foram obtidos no tamanho médio de 1,00 mm, e submetidos ao teste de resistência de união. Realizou-se o teste de ANOVA e pós teste de Tukey (P=0,05). Resultados: os Grupos ER-RB e SE-RB apresentaram os maiores valores de resistência de união (P<0,05). Conclusão: a estratégia autocondicionante independente do modo de aplicação do adesivo apresenta melhores resultados na resistência de união.
