A descriptive quantitative study in Surigao City, Philippines, investigated the factors affecting medication adherence in elderly individuals with chronic illnesses. The study involved 50 geriatric respondents to whom the researcher-made questionnaires adapted from the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) were administered. Most respondents exhibited a predominantly very high adherence level to their medication regimen, indicating overall satisfactory adherence. Various demographic factors such as age, gender, education, occupation, marital status, income, and clinical diagnosis did not significantly associate with adherence. Exploratory factor analysis identified four key factors affecting medication adherence namely: effectiveness of the medicine, desire to be treated, physician’s good prescription, and influence of positive observations. The study recommends that healthcare providers should implement a continuous monitoring and evaluation process, facilitating adjustments and refinements based on evolving circumstances among the elderly population. Healthcare systems and policymakers should explore strategies to make medications more affordable and accessible, particularly for those with limited financial resources. Future research should delve deeper into each factor to gain a comprehensive understanding of medication adherence.

This descriptive quantitative study is primarily concerned with the level of burnout among nurses working in private hospitals in Surigao City. The following research tools were used in the actual collection of data which includes, the respondent’s Personal Data Sheet and an adapted survey questionnaire namely, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OBI). These instruments shall be used to gather both respondents’ demographic profiles and determinants of the mental health impact of COVID-19. The respondents of this study were the staff nurses in four (4) private hospitals in Surigao City who are involved in rendering care to patients exposed to COVID-19. The snowball sampling method was utilized in determining the sample size in consideration of the researchers’ and respondents’ limited mobility in the said hospital due to the guidelines, new normal health protocols, and difficulty in identifying and meeting with the schedules of the respondents. Burnout has been described as a dangerous condition resulting from overwork and chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It can lead to physical or mental illness. To effectively play their role during this pandemic, it is essential for them to maintain psychological and mental health; however, the literature has shown that the emergence of COVID–19 has significantly impacted the psychological and mental well-being of our Filipino medical workers. Vast amounts of evidence have shown a significant association between the COVID–19 outbreak and adverse mental health issues such as stress or burnout, depression, insomnia, and anxiety. With the limited actions implemented in response to the studies on the health impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers, there is a need for immediate attention to formulating actions or interventions that will halt the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on the mental health of healthcare workers.

Authors: Шабанов В.Б. , Буданова Л.Ю. , Веренчиков И.Р.
Published: May 2024

В статье рассматривается деятельность по проверке сообщения о преступлении. Отмечается, что ее следует подразделять на три основных периода: дореволюционный, советский и постсоветский. Сделан вывод, что использование материалов и сведений, полученных при доследственной проверке в качестве доказательств по уголовному делу, стало возможным с внесением в УПК РФ в 2013 г. соответствующих изменений. Указывается, что в настоящее время предусматривается значительный объем следственных и процессуальных действий, тем самым институт, ранее служивший для установления одного или нескольких признаков состава преступления в совершенном деянии, теперь является прообразом стадии предварительного расследования, направленного на сбор доказательств.

The article discusses the activities of verifying a crime report. The authors note that it should be divided into three main periods: pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet. It is concluded that the use of materials and information obtained during the pre-investigation check as evidence in a criminal case became possible with the introduction of appropriate amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure in 2013. It is indicated that a significant amount of investigative and procedural actions is currently envisaged, thus, this institution, which previously served to establish one or more signs of a crime in the committed act, is now a prototype of the preliminary investigation stage aimed at collecting evidence.

Authors: Garba Talatu Musa , Hussaini Hadiza
Published: May 2024

There has been persistent under achievement in English language examinations at secondary school level in Nigeria and researches claim that there is a strong correlation between students’ performance on one hand and teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical skills, students’ study habit and gender on the other hand. This study, therefore investigated the impact of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) on secondary school students’ performance in English language reading comprehension in Gombe state, Nigeria. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design with two layers of population: secondary school students and English language teachers out of which a sample of 13 English language teachers and 649 senior secondary school students were used. Three research instruments were used for data collection: Teacher’s Mastery of Pedagogical Skills Evaluation Form (TMPSEF) with 0.71 reliability index, English Language Teachers Reading Comprehension Test (ELTRCT) with 0.79 reliability index, and Students Reading Comprehension Test (SRCT) with 0.75 Reliability index. Research questions were analysed using frequency counts and percentages, while research hypothesis was tested using independent sample t-test. Findings revealed that majority of the English language teachers (69.2%) have low PCK of teaching reading comprehension, majority of the students (68.9%) have average performance in reading comprehension. Also, there is no difference in reading comprehension performance between students that have teachers with high and low PCK level.Recommendations were: English language teachers in Gombe state, Nigeria should have high pedagogical content knowledge and be ready to learn and acquire different emerging strategies in teaching reading comprehension effectively.

The Effect of Inulin Substitution as A Fat Replacer on Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Muffins
Authors: Mahmood Azizah , Mohd Napi Nur Nabilah , Mohamad Nizaha Juhaida
Published: May 2024

The increasing rates of obesity and related health problems are largely attributed to the excessive consumption of high-fat foods. Thus, a fat substitute is proposed to replace the same functions of fats in food products. This study explored the potential of inulin as a fat substitute to produce low-fat muffins. Five batches of muffins, each with varying levels of inulin replacing oil (ranging from 0 to 100%), were prepared to examine how this substitution would impact the physicochemical and sensory properties of the muffins. Calorie content was determined using a bomb calorimeter, whilst the moisture, fat and fibre content were determined based on the AOAC International standard method. The muffin’s texture was analysed using a texture analyser, and the height was measured by calculating the average of different parts of the muffin. The acceptance level of muffins was conducted using a 9-point Hedonic scale. The addition of 15% inulin reduced the fat content by 68.05% and calories by 12.63% compared to the control without significantly affecting the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptability. Additionally, inulin provided the advantage of increasing fibre content by 82.76% when compared to the control sample. Increasing the amount of inulin also increased height and improved the aerated structure of muffins. The study provides evidence for the effectiveness of inulin as a fat replacer, which can help produce low-fat food products with good functional properties and nutritive value for health.
Characterization of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) Derived from Unmarketable Vegetables and Fruits
Authors: Ramarao Sanjeev , Azman Elisa Azura , Tajidin Nor Elliza , Ismail Roslan , Yahya Borhan
Published: May 2024

The Malaysian government has been challenged with handling unmarketable vegetables and fruit waste that pollutes the environment and emits greenhouse gases, mainly methane and nitrous oxide. These greenhouse gases have been contributing to climate change. In contrast, these wastes consist of high moisture and readily biodegradable nutrients that can serve as the perfect substrate rate for fermentation. The valuable nutrients contained in these wastes can produce liquid organic fertilizers (LOF), which help improve the soil’s physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and reduce the demand for inorganic fertilizers and costs to farmers. In this regard, a study was conducted to produce and characterize LOF derived from unmarketable vegetables and fruit waste. The waste was identified from the nearest wet market, collected, and incubated in containers with a ratio of 1: 2: 0.1 (10 kg unmarketable vegetable and food waste: 20 L water: 1 kg inducer) for 30, 45, and 60 days. The unmarketable vegetables and fruits were fermented using three different types of inducers: yeast (Y), brown sugar (BS), and shrimp paste (SP). Unmarketable vegetables and fruit waste with no inducer were also included as a control. Samples from the produced LOF were taken after 30, 45, and 60 days of fermentation, filtered, and subjected to analysis for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), macro-, and micronutrients. These experiments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The highest nitrogen (0.95%), phosphorus (0.31%), potassium (1.68%), copper (0.23 ppm), and manganese (9.03 ppm) were obtained from LOF fermented for 60 days using yeast, indicating that it improved the nutrient availability of agricultural waste. Moreover, this treatment provided optimum pH and EC values for the growth and development of plants. Thus, LOF derived from unmarketable vegetable and fruit waste can be considered an attractive alternative for supplementing chemical fertilizers.
A Systematic Review on the Current Attitudes and Clinical Practices on the Use of Cuffed and Uncuffed Endotracheal Tubes in Pediatric Anesthesia
Authors: Abainza, MD Lalaine O. , Ferrolino, MD Jose Emil A. , Espina-Bertoso, MD Sheila B.
Published: May 2024

Background. For several decades now, the use of uncuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) is the gold standard in providing airway and ventilatory support to children under anesthesia. However, there has been a change in focus from the application of uncuffed ETT to cuffed ETT among children, and this matter has been debated for years. In fact, several studies have shown that even across and within countries, the attitudes and practices of anesthesiologists on the use of types of endotracheal tubes differed.
Objective. To describe the current attitudes and practices of anesthesiologists regarding the use of uncuffed or cuffed ETT for children.
Methods. A systematic review of observational studies on the current attitudes and practices of pediatric anesthesiologists regarding the use of cuffed and uncuffed ETT was conducted from May to November 2020. Cochrane reviews, Medline, Pubmed, and EMBASE were searched and yielded five relevant studies.
Results. The use of cuffed ETT ranged between 11%-61% in the included studies and all reported that there were no consensus or standard on whether cuffed or uncuffed ETT was better. Reported factors for cuffed ETT use included: 1) Personal choice, 2) Department protocol, 3) Availability of resources, and 4) Specific conditions such as obesity, planned or emergency procedure, and reduced lung compliance. In terms of ETT size, reported criteria were: 1) Use of a formula, 2) Use of abacus/calculator, and 3) In relation to the fifth finger's width.
Conclusions. The current systematic review demonstrated that there is wide variation in current attitudes and practices of anesthesiologists regarding the use of uncuffed or cuffed endotracheal tubes in children. Likewise, factors affecting choice of ETT and criteria for selection varied in the published literature. The results of this systematic review highlight the need for a standard guideline to help clinicians choose if cuffed or uncuffed ETT is better in certain scenarios and to help them decide in selecting the most appropriate ETT size.
Emergency Cesarean Section in a Parturient with Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva under Spinal Anesthesia: A Case Report
Authors: Cruz, MD Mark Andrew B. , Cruz, MD, MS ClinEpi Ma. Concepcion L.
Published: May 2024

Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rarely encountered cardiac anomaly that can potentially lead to adverse clinical outcomes. RSOV increases the risk of morbidity during pregnancy due to the physiological changes associated with gestation, that can exacerbate the underlying cardiac pathology.
We present the case of a 29-year-old female with an uncorrected RSOV who required an emergency cesarean section for abruptio placenta. The patient underwent the procedure under spinal anesthesia, with careful titration of norepinephrine infusion and close monitoring of hemodynamic parameters using an invasive intra-arterial line.
Given the absence of established anesthetic protocols for parturients with RSOV undergoing cesarean delivery, a comprehensive understanding of the complex interaction between the hemodynamic effects of RSOV, pregnancy, and anesthesia is essential. This understanding enables the safe use of spinal anesthesia in urgent situations, leading to favorable patient outcomes.
Anesthesia for a Patient with Base of Tongue Mass undergoing Transoral Robotic Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Soleta, MD Mark Prince C. , Hilvano-Corsiga, MD Anna Margarita F.
Published: May 2024

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that has recently gained popularity. This involves the use of a robotic system to access and operate on hard-to-reach areas of the body, such as the base of tongue and pharynx. General anesthesia is the technique of choice in TORS as this procedure poses unique challenges due to the patient's airway anatomy, the need for precise surgical movements, and the potential for postoperative complications. Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) is the gold standard for an anticipated difficult airway. This case report describes the anesthetic management for a patient undergoing TORS for a tongue base mass.

Authors: Marcial, MD Karmi Margaret G. , Arcilla, MD Maria Victoria Rosario V.
Published: May 2024

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is difficult to control, and patients frequently exhibit inadequate relief from medications or encounter unbearable side effects. We present here a novel application of erector spinae plane (ESP) block to manage PLP.
Our patient is a 23-year-old, college student, diagnosed with high-grade osteosarcoma of the right humerus who underwent a right shoulder disarticulation. He reported PLP despite multimodal analgesia postoperatively. An ESP block using a high-frequency linear probe ultrasound was performed. A G23 spinal needle was advanced inplane toward the right T3 transverse process. After negative aspiration, 20 mL of therapeutic solution containing bupivacaine 0.25%, lidocaine 1%, epinephrine 5 mcg/ml, and 40 mg methylprednisolone was injected. After the procedure, the patient reported that his PLP went down to NRS 1/10. He consistently reported to have an NRS score of 0-1/10 on succeeding consultations despite discontinuation of opioid and pregabalin.
In literature, ESP block has been used as a regional technique for shoulder disarticulation surgery and other neuropathic pain conditions, but no account has shown its use for PLP treatment. The procedure was successfully done to alleviate the upper extremity phantom limb pain, significantly reduce analgesic requirements, and improve tolerance of physical therapy and overall quality of life.

Published: May 2024

A graphical password is an authentication system that works by having the user select from images, in a specific order, presented in a graphical user interface (GUI). For this reason, the graphical-password approach is called graphical user authentication (GUA). Graphical password schemes have been proposed as a possible alternative to text-based schemes, by the fact that humans can remember pictures better than text; Pictures are generally easier to be remembered or recognized than text. Graphical Password Authentication System provides a promising alternative to traditional alphanumeric passwords. User authentication is a fundamental part of most computer security settings. It provides support for access control and user responsibility. In Graphical Password Authentication System, users can create many points click sequence on a background image. The graphical password is a new technique that is more secure than text-based passwords. In graphical passwords, a sequence of clicks is generated to derive the password.

Outpatient Monitoring System Using Cloud Computing
Authors: Kavitha.V  , V. Sumalatha
Published: May 2024

Successful adoption of Electronic Health Records increases patient safety and quality of treatment, but it requires interoperability across Health Information Exchanges at various institutions. The HL7 document format is a key document standard that ensures such compatibility, and its spread is crucial for interoperability. Except in a few countries, hospitals are hesitant to use interoperability due to the high cost of adoption.
Even when more hospitals begin to employ the CDA document format, an issue occurs since the data is distributed over several pages and is difficult to manage. In this article, we discuss our CDA document creation and integration Open API service, which is based on cloud computing and allows hospitals to produce CDA documents without purchasing proprietary software.

Cognitive radio (CR) technology could be a promising thanks to improve the information measure efﬁciency of underutilized radio-frequency spectrum. Spectrum sensing is a vital thought in psychological feature radio. During a real time spectrum sensing energy detection is simplest technique of user detection; however its performance degrades with increase in SNR. The Match Filter Detection needs previous info concerning User for its detection. Therefore to beat noise downside and security problems Cyclostationary Spectrum Sensing technique is employed. Cyclostationary Detection (CD) uses the cyclic property of the signal for the user detection. These cyclic property area unit time variables as there mean and autocorrelation changes with time. These signals area unit referred to as Cyclostationary Signal. The noise is non-cyclic in nature therefore at the time of detection noise is eliminated. To beat the one node sensing issue and hidden node downside that arises because of channel impediments, cooperative sensing is getting used. This paper performs Cyclostationary spectrum sensing that is optimized by Frequency Accumulation technique

Published: May 2024

African Night Crawler (Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg) was dried by applying constant power (204 W) at different vacuum levels (17, 34, 51 kPa). The drying kinetics, proximate composition, and anticoagulant were determined. Experimental moisture loss data versus drying time were fitted to nine thin-layer models. The Midilli model is the most suitable in describing drying kinetics for all drying conditions. The 17 kPa vacuum exhibited shorter drying time, higher drying rates and lower power consumption. Proximate analysis showed that dried earthworms have high protein content ranging from 61 to 65 percent of its total dry weight. Proximate composition of dried Eudrilus eugeniae is relatively similar to other earthworm species like Eisenia fetida. Microwave-vacuum dried earthworm displayed stronger anticoagulant activity though weaker than the fresh sample. This study suggests that microwave-vacuum dried earthworm has anticoagulant property but not as potent as fresh sample due to the effects of temperature and pressure.
