Authors: Niamlang Pimolpun , Iamsamai Chularat , Muangtong Piyanut , Chuysinuan Piyachat
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and surface modifications to enable their utilization as a colorimetric sensor strip on electrospun nanofibrous. Additionally, it utilizes cellulose acetate electrospun fiber preparations as substrates for loading the gold nanoparticles. In order to produce gold nanoparticles, citrate reduction was employed, followed by modification with maleic acid (MA-GNPs).  MA-GNPs were significantly more selective for Pb2+ than for other ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Ni+), according to the results. Following the introduction of Pb2+, the solutions exhibited a color change from red to blue or purple, which was attributed to the aggregation of nanoparticles, as determined by UV-Vis spectrometry. An optical band indicative of GNPs and MA-GNPs was detected at an estimated wavelength of 520 nm. Approximately 600 nanometers after the addition of Pb2+, the intensity of the solution progressively decreased to 520 nanometers, and a new band emerged. To fabricate cellulose acetate nanofibrous via electrospinning, the impact of solvent ratios, polymer concentrations, and process conditions were investigated. The ideal parameters for the fabrication of the substrate were as follows: 15%w/w polymer solution, 15 kV electrospinning voltage, 15 cm needle-to-collector distance, and 48 hours of collecting time. In order to examine the color change of the prepared strip, it is observed that the strip transforms from red to blue upon exposure to Pb2+ ions of varying concentrations, just as it does in solution form. An examination of water samples indicated that the strip remained colorless when tested with DI water. However, testing with wastewater sourced from a battery facility identified a transformation of the strip from red to purplish blue. This is equivalent to an estimated lead concentration of 40 parts per million. The outcomes showcased the capacity of the discolored strips to identify the preliminary concentration of lead ions, suggesting potential for future advancements in this area.

Published: July 2024

Monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) remains a widely used surgical modality for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, bipolar TURP (B-TURP), which uses isotonic saline as an irrigant, may reduce the risk of dilutional hyponatremia and transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome associated with M-TURP. Objective: To compare the outcomes of bipolar versus monopolar diathermy during transurethral resection of the prostate. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, from March 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. The study included 100 patients, aged 55 to 85 years, scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate due to BPH. Exclusion criteria were prostatic carcinoma, previous prostate surgery, cirrhosis, chronic renal failure, and bleeding disorders. Patients were randomized into Group A (M-TURP with 5% dextrose water as irrigant) and Group B (B-TURP with normal saline as irrigant). Outcomes, including changes in serum sodium levels, hemoglobin levels, and incidence of TUR syndrome, were assessed 12 hours postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate methods to compare the two groups. Results: The mean drop in hemoglobin (g/dL) was significantly more significant in the bipolar group (51.71 ± 7.28) compared to the monopolar group (47.86 ± 8.26) (p = 0.0001). The mean decrease in serum sodium levels (mEq/L) was significantly less in the monopolar group (143.57 ± 13.85) compared to the bipolar group (75.51 ± 7.98) (p = 0.0001). TUR syndrome occurred in 2 (4.0%) patients in the M-TURP group, whereas no cases were reported in the B-TURP group (p = 0.153). Conclusion: Bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate is associated with a smaller drop in hemoglobin, a lesser decrease in serum sodium levels, and a lower incidence of TUR syndrome than monopolar transurethral resection.

Published: July 2024

Managing ureteral stones to achieve complete stone clearance with minimal patient morbidity involves several therapeutic approaches. The commonly used methods include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy (URS), percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, laparoscopic ureterolithotomy, and open ureterolithotomy. However, definitive evidence-based options for managing large proximal ureteral stones are lacking. Objective: To compare extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and laser ureterorenoscopy (URS) success rates in treating proximal ureteric stones. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, from January 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021. One hundred four patients, aged 20 to 60, with single proximal ureteric stones measuring 8-15 mm, were included. Patients with pyonephrosis, sepsis, bleeding disorders, solitary kidney, previous open ureterolithotomy, chronic renal failure, proteinuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, congenital urinary tract obstruction, bladder outflow obstruction, chronic liver disease, or a history of chronic drug usage were excluded. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group A underwent URS lithotripsy with DJ stent placement, while Group B underwent ESWL with DJ stent placement. A single surgeon performed all procedures. Pre-operative antibiotics and analgesics were administered to all patients. Stone clearance was assessed two weeks post-procedure. Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate methods, with a p-value ≤ 0.05 considered significant. Results: The mean age of patients in Group A was 37.52 ± 11.20 years, and in Group B was 36.73 ± 10.57 years. Most patients (75, 72.12%) were between 20 and 40. Out of the 104 patients, 63 (60.58%) were male, and 41 (39.42%) were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7:1. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 44 (84.62%) patients in Group A (URS group) and 30 (57.69%) patients in Group B (ESWL group), with a statistically significant p-value of 0.002. The study concluded that the stone clearance rate after laser ureterorenoscopy (URS) is significantly higher than extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for proximal ureteric stones.

Authors: SAIF F , KANWAL A , SHOUKAT R
Published: July 2024

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a significant concern in healthcare settings, often leading to severe complications for patients. Effective prevention relies heavily on the knowledge and attitudes of nursing staff. Understanding these factors can help formulate strategies to improve patient care and outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nurses toward preventing pressure injuries and identify the factors influencing these parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Nursing Department of a Tertiary Care Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. A total of 300 nurses working in the hospital for more than a year and without supervisory roles were selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected through an anonymous questionnaire divided into demographic information, knowledge assessment using Pieper’s Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test, and attitudes evaluation using the Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and appropriate tests to assess the relationships between variables. Results: The average knowledge score among nurses was 32.88 ± 2.49, with a score of 6.10 ± 1.12 for PI evaluation and 26.83 ± 2.20 for prevention and grading. 59% of participants demonstrated good knowledge. The average attitude score was 39.90 ± 3.81, with the highest score in the personal role subgroup (7.91 ± 0.99) and the lowest in personal efficacy (9.84 ± 1.09). 54% of participants exhibited a favourable attitude towards PI prevention. Conclusion: Nurses displayed satisfactory knowledge and attitudes toward preventing pressure injuries. Enhancing these parameters through exemplary leadership, quality education, and regular training programs can improve healthcare outcomes and patient safety.

Published: July 2024

Dealing with neonatal surgery, which nearly invariably entails emergency neonatal surgical scenarios, is the most challenging and complex problem in pediatrics and pediatric surgery. Congenital abnormalities are the most common reason for emergency neonatal surgery. Pakistan and other low and middle-income countries (LMICs) account for over ninety percent of these abnormalities. Objective: Our goal is to examine the factors contributing to the high mortality rate in neonatal surgery among those individuals who didn't have access to the NICU. This will inform our recommendations for the worldwide community and the need for NICU care post-operatively. Method: This prospective research was carried out in PIMS hospital from December 2022 to December 2023. Our center has a 15-bed NICU facility, which is almost negligible compared to the patient load of our center. Two hundred patients who underwent surgery during the study were enrolled in our study. Demographic and clinical data were gathered using a questionnaire, and SPSS 25 was used for analysis. Results: Throughout the study period, 33 of 200 neonates died, resulting in a 16.5% mortality rate. Over 53% of these cases were preterm. The research had a minimum gestation age of 29 weeks and a mean gestational age of 35.54 ± 3.56 weeks. The mean newborn's weight had been 2.41 ± 0.52 kg (range: 1.22–3.5 kg). There were more male babies (67.5%) than females. Anorectal malformation was found in four infants who died following surgery. Gastroschisis was discovered in five infants who died after surgery. Sepsis was the most common cause of death following neonatal surgery, amounting to 84.84% of total deaths. Cardiogenic shock was the reason for expiry in 9.09% of the cases, and 6.06% of the cases had respiratory failure as the cause of death. Gastroschisis and esophageal atresia were associated with the most significant mortality. Conclusions: In underdeveloped nations like Pakistan, surgical infants account for a sizable fraction of the total neonatal death rate, most of which may be avoided with proper perioperative and NICU care. Nevertheless, the national health strategy does not give neonatal surgery the priority it deserves. NICUs should be established countrywide to enhance patient care and decrease the overall mortality rate of pediatric surgery.

Published: July 2024

Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder during pregnancy with fetomaternal mortality. The choice of anesthesia method for cesarean sections among preeclamptic women is still debated. Objective: To compare the outcomes of spinal and general anesthesia in a cesarean section among preeclamptic women. Methods: A prospective study was conducted at Al-Imam Al-Sajjad Hospital/Al-Najaf Health Directorate from February 2021 to September 2023. Women undergoing cesarean sections due to severe preeclampsia were enrolled in the spinal or general anesthesia group. Data on maternal age, gestational age at delivery, parity, Apgar scores, maternal mortality and perinatal mortality were recorded. The background characteristics and outcomes were compared between both groups. We excluded women with mild preeclampsia, multiple pregnancies, other pregnancy medical disorders, gestational age < 32 weeks, cases of eclampsia, and general anesthesia following spinal anesthesia failure. Results: The general anesthesia group had a significantly lower Apgar score at 1 minute than the spinal anesthesia group (27.3% and 57.4%, p=0.006), and at 5 minutes (15.2% and 37.03%, p=0.005). The study groups showed no significant difference regarding maternal and perinatal mortality. Conclusions: Maternal and perinatal mortality were not affected by anesthesia type in severe preeclampsia, but general anesthesia caused a higher proportion of birth asphyxia.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the interest of academics in the field of entrepreneurship and business towards wellbeing. In particular, young people are very vulnerable to poverty at the global level, so entrepreneurship among youth is a major focus. Successful entrepreneurship requires mental and physical well-being to start a business. This study aims to explore psychological readiness and well-being in achieving entrepreneurship among youth in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. This research was conducted by selecting 150 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) run by young entrepreneurs using a convenient sampling technique. The types of MSMEs studied include furniture makers, pubs, restaurants, spas, hair salons and traders. Data was collected through a questionnaire prepared with a four-point Likert Scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages. The results show that most young Nigerians have many abilities, but fear of failure, deception, and reluctance to show weakness prevent them from trying. Youth also face pressure from society that expects them to be better, which encourages them to set up businesses. This research concludes that entrepreneurship training for youth can increase psychological resilience and mental readiness. Therefore, it is important for young entrepreneurs in Nigeria and Africa to get psychological preparation, as psychological well-being contributes to physical health. This research recommends that the environment in which youth develop and implement entrepreneurial ventures be made more welcoming and supportive, with government policies that attract adequate attention and participation.

Resultados: Os principais achados incluem: (i) ausência de pesquisas utilizando o método ADR na CI; (ii) a existência de estudos que sinalizam a utilização dos métodos, sem, contudo, executá-los de forma rigorosa; (iii) o crescimento da utilização da DSR em pesquisas na área a partir de 2019 e, (iv) a variedade de soluções que podem surgir com a utilização desses métodos. Conclusões: A utilização eficaz dos métodos Pesquisa-ação e DSR é promissora na CI por possibilitar o desenvolvimento de pesquisas não apenas com forte embasamento teórico, como também, a aplicação dos resultados na solução de problemas reais. Já o método ADR carece de aplicação na área; apenas um estudo apontou o uso do método, porém, sem atender à necessária colaboração entre pesquisadores e participantes em todas as etapas da pesquisa. Aliás, esse foi um problema detectado na RSL, a maior parte dos estudos rejeitados na etapa final da RSL deveu-se à baixa qualidade de execução do método proposto o que indica a necessidade de estudos que melhor elucidem as especificações dos métodos.

O processo de ensino de Inglês como Língua Adicional (ILA), no ensino superior, com vistas à formação/educação de professores é um dos temas de interesse da Linguística Aplicada. Neste trabalho, enfocamos o processo de ensino de ILA no ensino superior, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, voltado à formação de professores em pré-serviço que participam do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID). Discutimos as perspectivas teóricas que embasam as propostas de ensino de ILA e que subsidiam a formação pibidiana e os desafios impostos pelo ensino remoto. Apresentamos um breve histórico do Programa, seguido da contextualização do PIBID na Universidade xxx e do Subprojeto Inglês. Relatamos as ações do Subprojeto, como resposta às exigências e desafios do ensino remoto e da formação discente, também remota, para a atuação na área de ILA. A partir da experiência relatada, destacamos os impactos e contribuições do Subprojeto Inglês na formação de professores e no ensino de ILA no ensino superior.
Formação professores de línguas em contexto de ensino remoto
Authors: Araújo Rosa Filho Jeová
Published: July 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar as percepções e as práticas de residentes do Programa de Residência Pedagógica (RP) vinculados a um subprojeto interdisciplinar de dois cursos de Letras da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), no contexto de Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). O corpus de dados da investigação emergiu de questionários de avaliação, bem como de relatos de experiência entregues ao final do RP. O desenvolvimento da análise teve como orientação investigar quais desafios e potencialidades foram vivenciados pelos residentes e o que nos revelam suas narrativas para a compreensão do impacto do RP quanto à formação de professores de línguas.  Em termos teóricos, discutimos a formação docente a partir da epistemologia da práxis (PIMENTA, 2012; PIMENTA & LIMA, 2004; SACRISTÁN, 1999). Os resultados analisados evidenciam as potencialidades formativas do RP a partir de mobilizações teórico-práticas para a criação de estratégias de ensino para o contexto emergencial, bem como os desafios durante a implementação de práticas de ensino a partir das dinâmicas online do ERE.
Imagining oneself as an English teacher
Authors: Brandão Ana Carolina de Laurentiis
Published: July 2024

In this paper, I tell the story of Marcela, a pre-service language teacher participating in a PIBID initiative focusing on the design and implementation of English reading activities at two state schools. I discuss the impact of this experience on her professional identity. I adopt a narrative inquiry methodology, which considers narrative as both method and way of understanding experience. Storied perspectives on identity, teacher knowledge and context inform this study. The field texts include visual narratives, drawings depicting English teaching, which are contextualised by their recorded explanations, written journals and language learning autobiography, and recorded conversations. This material was gathered over the course of an academic year. Being a PIBID scholarship holder provided Marcela with opportunities to make sense of her own biography as a language learner, think about who she wanted to become as a teacher, and negotiate her imagined professional identity. This had a profound impact on her identity as a language teacher.

Published: July 2024

In this study, we prepared 4-chlorophenylazoquinoline, a derivative of 8-hydroxyquinoline, with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions to create metal complexes. We used various physical and spectroscopic methods to characterize the compound and its metal complexes, including molar conductivity measurements, melting point analysis, elemental analysis, electronic absorption spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The octahedral geometry of all prepared complexes has been confirmed. To assess the antimicrobial activity, we examined two types of bacterial strains and two types of fungal strains. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared compounds was observed, and the higher increase was observed in the copper complex. The compounds were studied computationally after optimizing the angles, lengths, and bonds using the basic set 6-31G(d,p)/LANL2DZ. The molecular docking study of the compounds with the Alzheimer's disease protein 4BDT showed significant activity in binding to the amino acids of HL, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 compounds, with affinity energies of -6.4, -6.9, -6.9, -6.7, and -7.2 kcal.mol-1 for the compounds, respectively. To evaluate the safety of the prepared compounds in different drug designs, we employed the ADMET study, reducing the risk of failure in advanced drug design stages. The results of the ADMET showed a relative decrease in the toxicity and carcinogenicity factor. However, there are indications of metabolic risk and cellular uptake, requiring further study.
Spiritualitas Pentakosta Berdasarkan Perspektif Liturgi Katolik
Authors: Wibowo Darren Milano , Stevani Novia
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe Pentecostalism movement has grown so rapidly that its impact and movement is not limited to certain denominations. Even for some Catholic groups, this movement is also practiced by them. This happens because of a deep longing for the movement of the Holy Spirit. The liturgy of worship in Catholicism is considered monotonous and not passionate. So this is enough to trigger the existence of Charismatic Catholicism or what is commonly referred to as "Charismatic Renewal". Charismatic Catholicism does not occur universally, but it already exists in Indonesia and only a few churches recognize and experience it. In detail the author discusses: Pentecostal spirituality in general; Charismatic Catholicism and its history and origins in Indonesia as well as the benefits of the movement; the liturgy of worship in Catholicism; then the differences between Charismatic Catholicism and Charismatic Pentecostalism. Indeed, Pentecostal spirituality is not only for Pentecostals, but also for every church and people of God who long to experience it. The most important key to experiencing this movement is the thirst and longing to experience the movement of the Holy Spirit. So, it is not about certain denominations or groups, but individuals who long to experience a breakthrough, especially in the liturgy of worship. AbstrakGerakan Pentakostalisme mengalami perkembangan yang pesat, sehingga dampak dan pergerakannya tidak hanya terjadi pada denominasi tertentu saja. Bahkan bagi sejumlah kelompok Katolik, gerakan ini juga dilakukan oleh mereka. Hal ini terjadi karena adanya kerinduan yang mendalam akan kegerakan Roh Kudus. Liturgi ibadah dalam agama Katolik dinilai monoton dan tidak bergairah. Sehingga hal ini cukup menjadi pemicu adanya Agama Katolik Karismatik atau yang biasa disebut dengan “Pembaruan Karismatik”. Katolik karismatik tidak terjadi secara universal, namun sudah ada di Indonesia dan hanya sedikit gereja yang mengakui dan mengalaminya. Secara rinci penulis membahas: Spiritualitas Pantekosta secara umum; Katolik Karismatik beserta sejarahnya dan asal usulnya di Indonesia serta manfaat gerakannya; liturgi ibadah dalam Katolik; lalu perbedaan antara Katolik Karismatik dan Pentakosta Karismatik. Sejatinya spiritualitas Pentakosta bukan hanya diperuntukkan bagi kaum Pentakosta saja, namun juga berlaku bagi setiap gereja dan umat Tuhan yang rindu untuk mengalaminya. Kunci terpenting untuk mengalami gerakan ini adalah rasa haus dan kerinduan untuk mengalami gerakan Roh Kudus. Jadi, bukan tentang denominasi atau kelompok tertentu, tapi individu yang rindu mengalami terobosan, khususnya dalam liturgi ibadah.
