Gamification: Intervention Experience to Improve Motivation and Performance in Anatomy
Authors: Urrejola-Contreras Gabriela , Pérez Miguel Angel , Mesa Marciel Edgard
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The factors that best predict academic performance are motivation, learning strategies, and classroom climate. In this context, gamification has advantages for promoting these variables.
Objective. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of a gamified strategy on motivation and academic performance in the anatomy and physiology of systems course.
Method. The MSQL-SF questionnaire was administered to 81 nursing students to assess their perception regarding motivation and learning strategies. Motivation, in turn, considered the dimensions of task value and test anxiety. Learning strategies assessed metacognitive strategies, resource management, and intrinsic orientation. The effect of strategy on performance was analyzed using students' grades.
Results. The main results suggest that 70% of students feel anxious about evaluations, and 50% express difficulties in adapting a study schedule. Both findings are related to motivation. Regarding academic performance, there were no significant differences between the control and experimental groups.
Conclusion. The use of gamification in learning anatomy constitutes a supplement that has shown to have rapid adherence and affinity with health students in activities that are playful, entertaining, and based on collaborative learning. However, its evidence regarding performance is limited.

Pregnant women are at risk of experiencing anxiety and stress which causes the release of the hormone norepinephrine which is produced by most neurons in the brain stem and hypothalamus. Yoga has a positive impact on the body by reducing the performance of the hypothalamus, thereby releasing neuropeptides which stimulate the pituitary gland and releasing ACTH which suppresses the production of stress hormones. Prenatal Gentle Yoga is a therapy that supports the healthy balance between body and mind that is needed during the process of pregnancy until delivery. This research was carried out at the Bara Baraya Health Center, Antang Health Center, Kapasa Health Center, and Mamajang Health Center. The research design used in this research is Quasi Experiment with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design approach. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is ELISA (Enzyme Linked Limmuno Sorbent Assay). The research sample consisted of 24 respondents, 12 people in the intervention group, and 12 people in the control group. Criteria in this research; Primigravida and multigravida pregnant women, pregnant women in the II-III trimester with a gestational age of >=20 to <31 weeks, pregnant women without complications in pregnancy. Based on statistical tests (Mann Whitney Test), norepinephrine levels in the intervention group decreased (p=0.008), there was a significant difference, in the control group the statistical test showed no significance (p=0.347). Thus, prenatal gentle yoga is effective in reducing levels of the hormone norepinephrine.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly recognized as a severe public health concern threatening the human race, development, and quality of life. In the last three decades, Years of healthy life lost due to disability (YLD) has witnessed a significant shift from Communicable diseases towards NCDs and injuries (1). Globally, the economic burden of NCDs is projected to rise to over 13 trillion dollars by the year 2030, and every 10% hike in NCDs is expected to cause a 0.5% decline in global economic growth(2). The poor and disadvantaged population is disproportionately affected by NCDs, contributing to increased health disparities within and between nations (3). In low- and middle-income countries like India, NCDs are expected to diminish their GDP by 1% to 5% annually(3). The novel concept of the Young Doctors' Health Parliament (YDHP) is uniquely positioned to leverage the fresh perspectives and energetic engagement of young medical professionals who are at the forefront of encountering and managing NCDs. This article explores how the Young Doctors' Health Parliament serves as a pivotal mechanism for young doctors to influence health policy, thereby playing a crucial role in mitigating the NCD burden that disproportionately affects their peers and younger generations.

Maintaining and increasing company value is a crucial element in business competition, where owners and investors measure success through stock value and financial performance. This study analyzes the elements that affect the value of companies in the consumer non-cyclicals sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2018-2022. The results show that tax avoidance and financial performance influence company value, while company size moderates the impact of tax avoidance but does not moderate the impact of financial performance on company value. The study also reveals that although tax avoidance is legal, it can reduce investor confidence if not accompanied by information transparency. This study has several limitations, such as the sample being limited to the consumer non-cyclicals sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the observation period of five years, which includes the pandemic period. The variables used in this study are also limited, which may not cover all factors affecting company value. Therefore, further research with a broader scope and additional variables is needed for more comprehensive results. In a broader context, this study emphasizes the importance of financial information transparency and compliance with tax obligations in maintaining investor confidence. Companies need to manage finances effectively and efficiently to achieve optimal performance and increase company value, which will ultimately attract investor interest and trust.

Crowds of buyers in a shopping area can result in long queues at the cashier's desk. This long queue is often caused because the cashier is very slow in calculating the buyer's groceries. The slowness of the cashier in carrying out their duties, namely calculating the price of goods is caused by the fact that some of the selling prices of goods are not known by the cashier so that queues often become a problem in shopping places. For this reason, it is necessary to build a system that can assist cashiers in carrying out their duties, especially to find out the selling price of an item. This system uses an acronym in the world of programming, namely CRUD. This system will later be used by the cashier to store, display, change, and delete item data in the database. Thus the cashier does not need to memorize the selling price of each item.
The Carbon Emission and Sustainability of Manufacture for Better Carbon Efficiency
Authors: Pan Hsuan-Yu
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Taiwan is an export-focused manufacturing economy instead of a brand-marketing one. In other words, the manufacturing exporters in Taiwan are generally adopting supply chain management measures to secure orders. The upcoming implementation of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has caused carbon anxiety in Taiwanese manufacturers before it has been enforced. The emphasis on environmental conservation is a sign of progress; however, amid significant social change, businesses often feel pressure rather than seeing it as a positive development. Although the total amount of resources is still increasing, businesses have not yet fully adapted to the new society and businesses will tend to become agitated and anxious, even frantic. Unfortunately, this problem can not be resolved in the short term. The businesses can only focus on developing and adopting to meet the market. To maintain Taiwan’s position in the global supply chain, it’s essential to adapt and comply with the new international regulations. The first step is voluntary carbon disclosure to address carbon challenges. The purpose of this research is to investigate Taiwanese manufacturers’ understanding of how voluntary disclosure to aid corporate decision-making.

Published: August 2024

A população idosa é a que mais cresce em todo o mundo. Com os avanços da medicina e novas noções de qualidade de vida, a expectativa de vida foi aumentando. Por essa razão, a medicina viu-se diante de um novo desafio: o aumento de enfermidades neurovegetativas. Dentre as doenças do envelhecimento, a doença de Alzheimer (DA) é de alta prevalência e tornou-se um problema de saúde pública. Essa disfunção é um processo neurodegenerativo progressivo e fatal, e a terapia farmacológica só pode retardar sua progressão ou reduzir alguns sintomas. Atualmente, cerca de 35 milhões de pessoas no mundo são portadoras de algum tipo de demência, sendo essa uma patologia que envolve perda de memória e acarreta distúrbios cognitivos importantes. Ainda não existe um tratamento definitivo que possa curar ou reverter a deterioração do funcionamento cognitivo causada pela doença de Alzheimer. Do ponto de vista farmacológico, o tratamento atual consiste na prescrição de anticolinesterásicos e de memantina, tanto para declínio cognitivo, quanto para distúrbios de comportamento. Entretanto, intervenções não-farmacológicas têm apontado resultados favoráveis no manejo de pacientes com doença de Alzheimer. Programas de estimulação cognitiva, psicoterapia de orientação para a realidade, terapia ocupacional, atividades em grupo, treinamento de cuidadores e outros procedimentos têm proporcionado impacto benéfico na atenuação do declínio cognitivo e na melhora dos distúrbios de comportamento em pacientes da doença de Alzheimer. Outra alternativa não farmacológica muito importante inclui a prática regular de atividade física, que pode gerar benefícios relacionados a melhora da neuroplasticidade, aumento da circulação cerebral, menor morte neuronal, aumento dos níveis de serotonina e menor depleção da dopamina, redução do estresse e depressão, redução do estresse oxidativo cerebral, melhoria da memória espacial e atenção, melhoria do equilíbrio, da força muscular, menor declínio cognitivo, melhor competência física. Além disso, quando realizada em grupo, os pacientes portadores da DA melhoram o modo de se relacionar e ficam mais felizes e calmos durante o dia, reduzindo, muitas vezes, o uso dos medicamentos para dormir, entre outros. Destaca-se, portanto, que um programa de exercícios físicos associado à terapia farmacológica possui um efeito positivo na qualidade de vida tanto dos pacientes portadores da doença de Alzheimer quanto na de seus cuidadores, podendo abrir caminho rumo a novas estratégias terapêuticas.

Os avanços no cuidado neonatal aumentaram a sobrevida de bebês em estágio primitivo do desenvolvimento pulmonar. A prematuridade por si está associada à morbidade respiratória significante e a danos pré e pós-natais que interrompem o crescimento pulmonar distal, observando-se sequelas e disfunções respiratórias na evolução desses pacientes. A Displasia Broncopulmonar (DBP) tem sido descrita como a maior causa de doença pulmonar crônica em lactentes. Sua patologia está relacionada à necessidade de oxigenoterapia e/ou ventilação mecânica em recém-nascidos (RNs) prematuros, por um período mínimo de vinte e oito dias, nos primeiros dias de vida. O objetivo desse trabalho é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica acerca do tema e conscientizar os leitores da importância do diagnóstico e manejo precoce para previnir varias sequelas decorrentes da doença. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa na forma de revisão bibliográfica, serão utilizados artigos científicos disponíveis nas bases Scielo, Pubmed, Lilacs, utilizando os descritores relacionados ao assunto: displasia broncopulmonar, fibrose pulmonar, prematuridade. A displasia broncopulmonar é o distúrbio crônico mais comum no recém-nascido, diante dessa realidade, emerge a necessidade de um manejo adequado ao bebê, com um tratamento multidisciplinar envolvendo terapia nutricional adequada, hidratação, diuréticos, corticoide, metilxantina, oxigenoterapia e tratamento precoce de infecção, priorizando os benefícios e considerando cada caso individualmente. Mesmo com todos esses cuidados, a doença é grave, e o prognóstico varia de acordo com a evolução do paciente. A prevenção pode ser feita através do uso de Vitamina A, Cafeína, Vacinas Antipneumocóccica e Anti-influenza anuais e tratamento de infecções. Além de uma terapia efetiva, recomenda-se que toda gestante realize um pré-natal adequado para diminuir a incidência de prematuridade, que é o fator determinante para a doença.

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) tem como marcante o padrão de comportamento repetitivo e restritivo, além da dificuldade de relacionamento social. A prevalência dessa condição aumentou cerca de 600% nas últimas décadas, segundo o jornal espanhol El Mundo (2009). O tratamento do aspecto social ainda se mostra uma das áreas mais complexas. Nesse contexto, a equoterapia é uma prática terapêutica que se utiliza do cavalo, em abordagem multidisciplinar, para desenvolvimento biopsicossocial. Os efeitos dessa prática no âmbito social se mostram efetivos no estudo conduzido por Anderson e Meints, publicado em 2016, que elucida o aumento da empatia e redução da dificuldade de adaptação ao meio social como resultados de um programa de equoterapia de 6 semanas com 15 pacientes autistas. Alimentar o cavalo, levar para passear e acariciar favorece a criação de um vínculo, o que é difícil para pacientes com TEA em suas atividades diárias. Ademais, a textura, odor e movimentos espontâneos do animal promovem um confronto com comportamentos fora da rotina e controle do praticante, estimulando o desenvolvimento da capacidade de adaptação. Assim, o objetivo de nosso trabalho é verificar o estado de conhecimento da comunidade científica sul-americana acerca da influência da equoterapia em pacientes diagnosticados com TEA. Através das dimensões da pesquisa-científica propostas por Novikoff (2010) realizamos uma revisão sistemática na plataforma da Scielo, utilizando a palavra-chave “equoterapia” e delimitando publicações sul-americanas. Dentre as 812.133 publicações, apenas 17 foram encontradas relacionadas à essa prática. Destas, cinco abordam suas aplicações em pacientes com Síndrome de Down, duas em pacientes idosos e o restante se distribui entre pacientes em recuperação após AVC, diagnosticados com TDAH, pacientes com esclerose múltipla, crianças que nasceram prematuras e pacientes com espondilite anquilosante. Em nenhum trabalho foi encontrada menção sobre pacientes com TEA. Entre os mesmos artigos, 16 dissertam acerca de algum dos benefícios motores trazidos pela equoterapia: alinhamento postural, equilíbrio, coordenação motora e força muscular. Apenas uma publicação trouxe informações sobre a questão socioafetiva. Dessa forma, visto que a SciELO é uma das mais usadas plataformas para busca em saúde na América do Sul, conclui-se que esse continente não articula suficientemente acerca desse assunto. A prática da terapia assistida por cavalos em pacientes com TEA mostra-se capaz de apurar o comportamento social e gerar melhorias na qualidade de vida do praticante e de sua família e, por isso, deve ser pronunciada.

Published: August 2024

A novel approach is devised for the displacement-based design of diverse buildings, enabling them to withstand the seismic pressures encountered. The suggested approach necessitates figuring out the structure's yield and final displacements. These characteristics are derived from rough empirical relationships for the preliminary design. The inelastic demand spectrum corresponding to the estimated yield strength and the ductility capacity is then used to calculate the necessary strength of the structure. The structural strength required is then determined from the inelastic demand spectrum that coincides with the yield strength estimate and the ductility capacity. By converting it into an analogous single degree of freedom system, the method can be used to systems with many degrees of freedom. A modal analysis is performed on a model of the structure based on its preliminary design in order to determine the final design. For forces distributed according to the first mode, a pushover analysis of the structure now provides improved estimations of the yield and final displacements. The needed strength is then more precisely calculated using these improved estimates. To achieve convergence between the estimated and calculated values of the design displacements, it could be necessary to perform iterations. Lastly, to take into consideration the impact of higher modes on high-rise moment-resistant frames and shear wall systems.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate three techniques for calculating the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) index by bone scintigraphy in patients.
Materials and Methods: Patients (n:160) who did not exhibit abnormalities on bone scan were analyzed and were divided into 4 groups; 3-20 years, 21-40 years, 41-60 years, 61-86 years, respectively. Irregular and rectangular region of interest (ROI) were used for first and second methods, respectively. Horizontal rectangular ROI was selected for the last technique. The SIJ index was calculated by the following formula: SIJ count/sacrum count.
Results: There was no difference between the averages of all three methods according to right and left SIJ index (p>0.05). The averages of all SIJ values differed for three methods (p
Calculating Premiums for Extreme-Tail Risks with Liability Claims and Nuclear Verdicts
Authors: Bidav Ahmet
Published: August 2024

Purpose: When insurance claims, particularly liability claims and nuclear verdicts, are governed by fat-tailed distributions, considerable uncertainty exists about the value of the tail index.
Material and Methods: Using the theory of risk aversion, this paper establishes a new premium principle (the power principle – analogous to the exponential principle for thin-tailed claims) and investigates its properties.
Findings: Applied to claims arising from generalized Pareto distributions, the resultant premium is shown to be the ratio of the two largest expected claims. This structure provides a natural model for incorporating tail-index uncertainty into premiums. The theory is illustrated through possible ‘premiums’ for liability claims and nuclear verdicts, utilizing the consistent pattern of observed extremes.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: By integrating statistical methods for tail index estimation and addressing the inherent uncertainty, the power principle offers a robust framework for determining premiums in high-risk environments. The paper concludes with practical implications for insurers, highlighting the need for advanced risk management strategies and regulatory considerations in dealing with extreme liability claims.

Published: August 2024

This research addresses the effects of cyclones Idai and Kenneth on the health and social equity of the populations of Mozambique. These populations suffered from these extreme weather events in 2019. Thus, this study used a qualitative approach, which involved an interpretation of social phenomena based on the meanings that the subjects attribute to them. For this, two data collection methods were used: bibliographic review and document analysis. The research used concepts and norms of social determinants of health and human rights and was based on data and sources from international organizations, such as UNICEF and ILO. The results of the research show that the cyclones caused damage to the physical, mental, and social health of the affected people, in a differentiated and unequal way, according to their sociocultural and territorial conditions, but also and in social terms some groups were more marginalized than others, because of the social and structural inequalities pre-existing in the country. It was also highlighted the need for health, public policies, and civil society to respond to the emergency and medium- term demands of the affected people, through the creation and strengthening of services, plans, strategies, partnerships and initiatives of humanitarian and solidarity assistance. The research also points out the challenges, limitations and lessons learned in the response to the cyclones, as well as the recommendations to increase the resilience and equity of the affected communities.

Decarbonisation and the Structural Challenges of the Neoliberal State: The Case of the Coal Region in Slovakia
Authors: Filčák Richard , Škobla Daniel
Published: August 2024

The transformation of the regional economy after the closure of the coal mines can be analysed from Joseph Schumpeter's perspective as a creative destruction and industrial mutation from the "old" to the "new". Policy narratives of decarbonisation operate with the goals of revolutionising the economic structure into a new climate-resilient system that will resurrect regional development and provide new employment opportunities. However, such a process faces multiple challenges as it confronts neoliberal state policies, globalisation, market competition and multiple structural barriers at different levels. In this study, we analyse the Horná Nitra coal region in Slovakia, where the government, with the support of the European Union, has decided to close the coal mines in 2023. The transformation of the regional economy  from post-World War II industrialisation has been driven by political pressure and purposeful government spending supporting the development of more decentralised economic structures, based primarily on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Building on quantitative and qualitative research, the article focuses on mapping and analysing the structural obstacles and possible factors supporting the transition. In doing so, this article illustrates the possibilities but also the limitations of targeted interventions in the context of neoliberalism and describes the limits to balancing the social and economic risks that transformation entails.

Direct Calculations of the Dielectric and Optical Parameters of Some Compound Semiconductors: A Study Using the Lorentz Oscillator and Wemple-DiDomenico Models
Authors: Abboudy S. , Alfaramawi K. , Abulnasr L. , Hefny Basma K.
Published: August 2024

The Lorentz single oscillator model is widely utilized to describe the electron-phonon interaction in solids. The use of this model to calculate the dielectric function and optical parameters of compound semiconductors represents a novel approach in materials science which may lead to develop new materials with tailored optical properties and consequently can offer vast applications in areas such as quantum computing and quantum information processing. This work presents direct calculations of the complex dielectric function and some optical parameters, such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, and reflectivity for some selected III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors using Lorentz oscillator model. The dielectric and optical dispersion parameters among the infrared and visible electromagnetic spectra follows the so-called Transmission-Absorption-Reflection-Transmission (TART) trend. The TART curve provides information about how a material interacts with light at different wavelengths, which is crucial for understanding and optimizing various optoelectronic devices. Moreover, dielectric loss functions such as loss tangent, surface energy loss function and volume energy loss function are investigated. The refractive index dispersion is analyzed using Wemple–DiDomenico single effective oscillator model and Sellmeier equation. The energy of the effective single oscillator (Eo) and the dispersion energy (Ed) are estimated.

Authors: Alencar Allana , Schmitt Beatriz , Pereira Marcos
Published: August 2024

Play is an inherent and indispensable activity for child development that can be used with intention and quality in pedagogical action. The objective is to develop a narrative review of the literature on play in school physical education in early childhood education. Studies with different theoretical-epistemological approaches were used. The issues more latent was: (1) The manifestation of play in play enables the playful culture of those who allow themselves to play; (2) The importance of play as an educational practice that considers children as actors in the multiple dimensions of human expressiveness; and (3) The contributions of the physical education teacher to play in early childhood education. There are different childhoods and different social determinants that positively or negatively impact play. Reduced opportunities to experience play can be detrimental to the child. The curriculum component of physical education can be an important tool for promoting play in early childhood education. By emphasizing the importance of play for the full development of children, it is considered a privileged subject in physical education about the different ways of moving with spontaneity, creativity, meaning and significance.
