Published: September 2024

Introduction: Clinician burnout represents a signiﬁcant occupational hazard among physicians, with a notably high prevalence among emergency physicians. The Stanford Professional Fulﬁllment Index (PFI) was developed to comprehensively assess various aspects of doctors’ work experiences, including professional fulﬁllment. In this study we aimed to validate the Turkish version of the PFI (T-PFI), a 16-item instrument designed to measure physicians’ professional fulﬁllment and burnout. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we validated the T-PFI in two phases. The initial phase involved translating and culturally adapting the original PFI into Turkish. We evaluated the content validity of the translated version using item and scale content validity indices (I-CVI and S-CVI, respectively). The validated T-PFI was then distributed among a broad cohort of emergency physicians via an online survey to further assess its reliability and validity. The assessment tools included Cronbach α, conﬁrmatory factor analysis, and content validity indices. Results: Of 1,434 physicians who were sent the survey, 425 fully completed it (29.6%). There was an almost equal distribution of 215 females and 210 males. Only 9.6% of the participants reported high levels of professional fulﬁllment, whereas a signiﬁcant majority (79.1%) were susceptible to burnout. The Cronbach α values for the professional fulﬁllment and overall burnout scales were 0.87 and 0.90, respectively. The content validity was conﬁrmed by I-CVI values exceeding 0.80 and an S-CVI/average relevance of 0.92. The conﬁrmatory factor analysis demonstrated an acceptable model ﬁt after adjustments. Conclusion: The T-PFI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing professional fulﬁllment and burnout among emergency physicians in Turkey. Effective interventions to mitigate burnout are essential to improve physician well-being in Turkish healthcare settings.

Authors: Hathorn Erin Chelsea , Abu Halimeh Ahmed
Published: September 2024

In the ever-expanding landscape of digital technologies, the exponential growth of data in information science and health informatics presents both challenges and opportunities, demanding innovative approaches to data curation. This study focuses on evaluating various feasible clustering methods within the Data Washing Machine (DWM), a novel tool designed to streamline unsupervised data curation processes. The DWM integrates Shannon Entropy into its clustering process, allowing for adaptive refinement of clustering strategies based on entropy levels observed within data clusters. Rigorous testing of the DWM prototype on various annotated test samples revealed promising outcomes, particularly in scenarios with high-quality data. However, challenges arose when dealing with poor data quality, emphasizing the importance of data quality assessment and improvement for successful data curation. To enhance the DWM’s clustering capabilities, this study explored alternative unsupervised clustering methods, including spectral clustering, autoencoders, and density-based clustering like DBSCAN. The integration of these alternative methods aimed to augment the DWM’s ability to handle diverse data scenarios effectively. The findings demonstrated the practicability of constructing an unsupervised entity resolution engine with the DWM, highlighting the critical role of Shannon Entropy in enhancing unsupervised clustering methods for effective data curation. This study underscores the necessity of innovative clustering strategies and robust data quality assessments in navigating the complexities of modern data landscapes. This content is structured by the following sections: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.

Authors: Dinçer Hasan , GÖKALP Yaşar
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to identify prioritized strategies to increase the effectiveness of energy storage investments in hospitals. For this purpose, 5 literature-based criteria affecting energy storage investments in hospitals are identified. These criteria are weighted by the quantum spherical fuzzy DEMATEL method. On the other side, 4 different renewable energy alternatives are identified. The performance of these alternatives are ranked with quantum spherical fuzzy TOPSIS approach. It is determined that storage capacity is the most critical factor to increase the effectiveness of the energy storage systems in the hospital. Similarly, technological infrastructure is another key issue for the development of this process. However, it is also seen that security issues, legal effectiveness and financial situations have the lower weights. In addition to them, the ranking results demonstrate that wind energy is the most appropriate renewable energy type with respect to the energy storage performance of the hospitals. Geothermal energy can also be considered for this situation. On the other hand, solar and hydropower energy types have lower performance in this framework.

In the midst of job competition between countries in Asia, people with disabilities must also fight for their place in the job market. People with disabilities, who may face physical, mental, intellectual, motor and sensory barriers, face the additional challenge of finding employment commensurate with their abilities and barriers. Although the Indonesian government has made efforts to provide equal rights to people with disabilities through laws and policies, many challenges remain. Many people with disabilities are forced to work in the informal sector with low wages, and low participation. Therefore, research on the career prospects and experiences of individuals with disabilities is important in identifying the obstacles faced and exploring solutions that can improve disability inclusion in the world of work. Literature studies can provide valuable insights into the potential and problems experienced by people with disabilities in finding and maintaining employment, and provide a basis for the development of more inclusive policies and more effective support. By encouraging better accessibility and providing appropriate support services, communities and governments can help people with disabilities develop their potential and achieve success in their careers, while ensuring that work environments become more inclusive for all individuals, regardless of background or physical condition.

This research aims to investigate in depth the conflict between students from the Faculty of Engineering (FT) and the Faculty of Sports Science (FIK) at a university which started with a parking incident in the auditorium area. The method used in this research is a qualitative method. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted using open-ended questions that included the chronology of events, the background of the conflict, the parties involved, resolution efforts, and the impacts caused. The results of the interviews revealed that the conflict started with a misunderstanding regarding parking which sparked initial arguments and fights, and escalated into further physical clashes with stones being thrown at each other, damage to facilities, and injuries to victims. Initial peace efforts failed, so a larger FIK crowd attacked the Engineering Faculty area. The conflict ended after the masses withdrew and the victims were evacuated to hospitals. Data analysis identifies patterns and perspectives from various parties, and formulates recommendations for more effective conflict management.

Human anxiety about life leads to a prayer ritual for religious people. Praying is considered an effective way to realize dreams, but there is also an assumption that it is unreasonable. The purpose of this study is to present a perspective on prayer. The research methodology uses literature studies to support the achievement of research objectives. The results of the study are that prayer is not a shortcut to solving problems that require mastery of all relevant facts. Someone who prays only with the aim of using God to solve their own problems, means violating the basic principles of all social and moral relationships. Prayer has a great influence on humans psychologically, such as being able to calm, soothe and convince themselves of the life choices that have been decided to be lived. The essence of prayer is an extension of togetherness and community concern.

How to Use a Right Internal Thoracic Artery Graft in On- and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Authors: Hosono Mitsuharu
Published: September 2024

In coronary artery bypass grafting, internal thoracic artery grafts and other arterial grafts have shown superior results compared with saphenous vein grafts. The right internal thoracic artery (RITA) has been reported as one of these various arterial graft options. However, there are some limitations and concerns associated with using the RITA. This review presents the current topics and scientific evidence on the use of RITA grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting. The reviewed papers mainly focus on the operative results of using the RITA, graft configurations and target vessels, and the comparison between on- or off-pump coronary artery bypass procedure. The results of these studies suggest the followings. The method of using the RITA (either in situ or as a free graft) should be selected based on the need to reach crucial targets and the number of required target vessels. A free RITA graft anastomosed to the aorta with modified proximal anastomosis allows for the revascularization of multiple vessels with acceptable flow characteristics. For revascularization of the right coronary artery system with low-grade proximal stenosis, the RITA should not be used. The decision to use cardiopulmonary bypass depends on the patient's condition, target vessels, as well as the experience of institution. Skeletonized harvesting is more effective in preventing sternal wound infections in coronary artery bypass grafting using bilateral internal thoracic arteries compared with using a single internal thoracic artery.

Authors: Ogunfuwa Feyikemi O , Desai Ajay , Fomunung Clyde , Jackson Garrett R , Routman Howard , Sabesan Vani J
Published: September 2024

Introduction

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has grown exponentially due to its effectiveness in restoring clinical function and reducing pain. With this growth, the priority has been placed to optimize outcomes and minimize complications. Radiographic measurements and biomechanical factors have emerged as possible tools to predict clinical outcomes and potential complications after RSA. Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between acromiohumeral distance (AHD) lengthening and postoperative β angle, and patient outcomes following RSA.

Methods

Patients who underwent primary RSA from August 2017 to February 2020 by a single surgeon were retrospectively identified. Arm lengthening (AHDdelta), determined by preoperative and postoperative AHD, and the β angle were obtained from radiographs. Functional and patient-reported outcomes were measured preoperatively and at a minimum of 1 year postoperative. Radiographic measurements were correlated to clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcome scores using Pearson’s correlation coefficient tests. A subanalysis comparing outcomes in patients with ≤ 2cm of AHDdelta versus > 2 cm of AHDdelta was performed.

Results

Sixty-three patients with a mean age of 73.3 ± 8.7 years were included. The mean arm lengthening and postoperative β angle were 2.4 ± 0.9 cm and 89.6° ± 10.6°, respectively. Arm lengthening was significantly correlated to the improvement of daily pain (r = 0.277, p = 0.030), with the most improvement observed in arm lengthening ranging from less than 0 cm to 1.5 cm. Patients with arm lengthening ≤ 2 cm had significantly reduced daily pain compared to patients with > 2cm of arm lengthening (-5.9 vs -3.8; p = 0.02). Postoperative β angle significantly correlated with the improvement of SPADI and SST scores.

# Conclusion

The results of our study showed that AHD increased postoperatively after RSA and that less arm lengthening had the most significant decrease in pain and optimal glenoid inclination correlated with improved outcome scores.

A REFINED CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSET SUM PROBLEM IN POLYNOMIAL TIME COMPLEXITY
Authors: SINCHEV B. , SINCHEV A.B. , MUKHANOVA А.М.
Published: September 2024

The problem considered is the selection of at least one subset from a set (array) of distinct positive integers, such that the sum of the subset's elements exactly matches a given target sum (target certificate). According to R. M. Karp, this problem belongs to the class of NP-complete problems. Diophantine equations and an auxiliary problem, which facilitates the solution of the original problem and has independent scientific interest, have been introduced. A novel method has been developed, which includes proven lemmas and theorems. These results enable the development of efficient and straightforward algorithms for solving the subset sum problem. The time and space complexity for selecting the required subsets do not exceed the square of the length of the original set. An analytical framework has been proposed for managing indices within the original set. These algorithms are applicable to solving problems related to the independent set of cardinality k and the k-vertex cover problem. Additionally, we present examples to confirm claimed results.
It should be noted that the time complexity of sorting an array of integers is proportional to the square of the array's size, and this problem belongs to class P. Therefore, based on the newly developed method, it can be inferred that the subset sum problem, originally classified as NP-complete within the NP class, also belongs to P.

Published: September 2024

Background: Hypertensive patients often experience psychological distress, which may be worsened by anxiety sensitivity. Social support may mitigate this effect.Objective: To evaluate the impact of anxiety sensitivity on psychological distress in hypertensive patients, with social support as a moderating factor.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 hypertensive patients recruited from hospitals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Validated scales were used to measure anxiety sensitivity, psychological distress, and social support. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing Pearson’s correlation and moderation analysis via the PROCESS macro. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic variables.Results: Anxiety sensitivity was positively correlated with psychological distress (r = 0.87, p < 0.05), and negatively correlated with social support (r = -0.53, p < 0.05). Social support moderated the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and psychological distress (β = -0.232, p = 0.039), explaining 78.3% of the variance in distress levels (R² = 0.783).Conclusion: Anxiety sensitivity significantly exacerbates psychological distress in hypertensive patients. Social support plays a crucial role in reducing this impact, suggesting that enhancing social support in therapeutic interventions may improve mental health outcomes.

Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal and social equality of the sexes. The word `Feminism’ originated in the nineteenth century Europe. At the very beginning, the concept of feminism has developed in Pythagorean society in ancient Greece and it introduced by women. In seventeenth century, Feminist ideology enhanced through French women writers. Women awakening in the western society has influenced by Industrial revolution of eighteenth century and American Independence movement. Many scholars consider feminist campaigns to be a main force behind major historical and societal changes for women’s rights. Feminist advocacy is, and has been, mainly focused on women’s rights, some argue for the inclusion of men’s liberation within its aims, because they believe that men are also harmed by traditional gender roles. Simultaneously, Feminist theory which emerged from feminist movements, aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women’s social roles and lived experiences. The fundamental objective of feminism is the emancipation of women. To achieve this goal there is a great deal of theoretical differences among feminists due to purpose and way out. Some principal theories are such as Liberal feminism, Radical feminism, Marxist feminism, Socialist feminism, Existential feminism, Cultural feminism, Eco-feminism, Post-modern feminism and soon.
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE AND ANALYTICS CAPABILITIES IN HEALTHCARE USING PRISMA
Authors:   Department of Marketing & Business Analytics, Texas A&M University- Commerce, Texas, US, Rahman Md Maruf
Published: September 2024

This systematic review explores the role of Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) in healthcare, focusing on its applications, benefits, and challenges. Using the PRISMA framework, a total of 52 peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2023 were analyzed to identify key BI&A tools, such as Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), predictive analytics, and data visualization platforms, and their impact on healthcare outcomes. The findings show that BI&A significantly enhances clinical decision-making, improves patient outcomes, and optimizes operational efficiency, with 19 studies highlighting the effectiveness of CDSS and 16 studies demonstrating the value of predictive analytics in reducing patient readmissions and improving early disease detection. However, challenges such as data integration issues, privacy concerns, and resistance to technology adoption were evident across 25 studies, limiting the broader adoption of BI&A. The review also identifies gaps in the literature, particularly the need for more longitudinal studies and research on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Future research should focus on addressing these challenges to fully unlock the potential of BI&A in healthcare.

Background, one of the vascular accesses used for hemodialysis is arteriovenous fistula. Arteriovenous fistula cannulation causes pain problems in patients. The cannulation procedure is felt as a painful sensation that needs to be treated, because the size of the needle used when cannulating an arteriovenous fistula is quite large compared to cannulating when installing an IV, namely 16 gauge. General purpose, to provide acute pain nursing care for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis in the hemodialysis room at RSU Aghisna Medika Kroya. Case collection method, pain scale measurement using a VAS instrument for 5 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis without massage intervention and with massage intervention at the LI-4 point for 2 minutes or approximately 30-50 pressures. The results of nursing care, nursing care for acute pain in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis after nursing for 1x4 hours with the application of massage at point LI-4 showed a decrease in the pain scale in patients without massage and with massage at point LI-4. In conclusion, LI-4 point massage therapy can be an therapeutic option to reduce the pain of arteriovenousfistula cannulation in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Recommendation is hoped that more and larger case subjects will be taken in the next research so that the results will be more effective.

Face recognition occluded by occlusions, such as glasses or shadows, remains a challenge in many security and surveillance applications. This study aims to analyze the performance of various machine learning and deep learning techniques in face recognition scenarios with occlusions. We evaluate KNN (standard and FisherFace), CNN, DenseNet, Inception, and FaceNet methods combined with a pre-trained DeepFace model using three public datasets: YALE, Essex Grimace, and Georgia Tech. The results show that KNN maintains the highest accuracy, reaching 100% on two datasets (Essex Grimace and YALE), even in the presence of occlusions. Meanwhile, CNN shows strong performance, with accuracy remaining 100% on YALE, both with and without occlusions, although its performance drops slightly on Essex Grimace (94% with occlusion). DenseNet and Inception show a more significant drop in accuracy when faced with occlusion, with DenseNet dropping from 81% to 72% on Essex Grimace and Inception dropping from 100% to 92% on the same dataset. FaceNet + DeepFace excels on more large dataset (Georgia Tech) with 98% accuracy, but its performance drops dramatically to 53% and 70% on Essex Grimace and YALE with occlusion. These findings indicate that while deep learning methods show high accuracy under ideal conditions, machine learning methods such as KNN are more flexible and robust to occlusion in face recognition.
Hacia un tiempo nuevo: difusión y conciencia crítica de la arquitectura gallega en los años de la transición
Authors: Rodríguez Caramés Santiago
Published: September 2024

Los años setenta son un punto de inflexión en la arquitectura gallega por varias razones. En primer lugar, el nacimiento de un colegio y una escuela de arquitectura propias erigirán un nuevo paradigma de debate, formación y encuentro profesional en Galicia. En segundo lugar, desde un iniciático artículo de Baldellou (1971), la difusión de estos debates y de la arquitectura producida en Galicia, con sus marcos generacionales y programáticos, crecerá exponencialmente tanto dentro como fuera de sus fronteras, participando y proyectándose de una manera clara en los escenarios teóricos críticos más relevantes del panorama internacional. Este artículo pretende reunir, desde los textos más referenciados a otros habitualmente olvidados, un corpus documental de esta década, no sólo porque testimonia el cambio de paradigma en la difusión y discusión de la arquitectura gallega, sino también porque encarna las esencias y temas centrales que cimentarán las posteriores historiografías oficiales y canónicas de la arquitectura gallega. Se podrá ver la marcada importancia concedida a esta década desde unas historiografías que, definitiva, ponen su acento en la interacción modernidad-tradición que forja el carácter y la (auto)consciencia de una generación de arquitectos consolidados y otros más jóvenes.
