Published: May 2022

Objective: Benefits of exercise in pregnancy on maternal and fetal health are well-documented, whereas physical activity participation and knowledge of exercise during pregnancy are limited among pregnant women. This research purposed to develop a tool to measure knowledge of exercise during pregnancy.

Material and Methods: This is a methodological study. After review of the literature, a pool of items was created. These items were regulated into a Likert-type scale. The content validity of the 27-item pilot-scale was assessed by expert review. The pilot-scale was applied online to women aged over 18 years with a history of at least one full-term live delivery. After the pilot application, validity and reliability were analyzed.

Results: The content validity ratios (CVR) of items were between 0.500-0.900, and the content validity index (CVI) of the scale was 0.690. The scale underwent item analysis for reliability, and factor analysis for validity assessment. Subsequently, a total of 15 items were removed due to increasing Cronbach's alpha coefficient (k=10) and if having a communality value below 0.30 in the extraction column of the communalities table (k=5).

The remaining 12 items were collected under a single factor with an eigenvalue of 5.731 that explained 47.8% of the variance. The scale was found to be highly reliable (Cronbach's alpha 0.894, Spearman-Brown split-half reliability coefficient 0.796, Guttman split-half reliability coefficient 0.792). The confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for the 12-item scale.

Conclusions: The newly developed 12-item Knowledge of Exercise during Pregnancy Scale is valid and reliable for use with Turkish women to assess knowledge of exercise during pregnancy.

Authors: Kızıltoprak Şefika , Dinçer Şensu
Published: May 2022

Objective: To compare hip abductor muscle strength in ballet dancers with and without snapping hip syndrome and to evaluate the correlation between Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) sub-scores and snapping intensity

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected dancers, allocated to 3 groups according to their assessment by anterior hip pain or snapping in physical examination. The subjects completed the HAGOS survey. Subsequently, hip abductor strength was measured using a hand-held dynamometer.
The study was carried out on a total of 70 pre-professional ballet dancers (140 hips, aged 16-20). Participants classified into three groups based on medical history and physical examination (G1: pain (-) snapping (-); G2: pain (-), snapping (+); G3: snapping (+) and pain (+)). Secondly, all hips were classified into three groups (H1: pain (-), snapping (-), H2: pain (-), snapping (+), H3: pain (+), snapping (+). Snapping intensity in participants rated by the frequency of snapping (between level 0-4) according to their self-report. Differences were assessed between dancers and hips with snapping hip and without snapping hip.

Results: There was no difference in hip abductor strength levels between three hip groups (p=0.446). However, significant differences were observed in mHAGOS, pHAGOS, sHAGOS mean values between the three (G1, G2, G3) groups (p<0,001; p<0,001; p<0,001, respectively). sHAGOS, pHAGOS and mHAGOS mean values were significantly higher in G1 and G2 when compared to G3. Besides, there were negative correlation between snapping intensity and mHAGOS (p=0.002, rho=-0.37), pHAGOS (p=0.001, rho=-0.39) and sHAGOS (p=<0.001, rho=-0.55).

Conclusion: Hip abductor strength levels were not significantly affected by the presence of snapping in dancers; further investigation is needed in this regard. However, the results revealed that HAGOS sub-scores and snapping intensity is related. HAGOS questionnaire might be implemented to the dancers as a preseason screening method for snapping hip.

Published: May 2022

Amaç:Görme kaybı olan sporcularda fonksiyonel mobilite, aerobik uygunluk ve fiziksel aktivite (FA) düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler:Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 24.6±5.2 yıl olup görme kaybı bulunan 34 sporcu katıldı. Öncelikle, görme kaybı olan sporcuların antropometrik ölçümleri yapıldı ve ardından FA düzeyi anketi uygulandı. Sporcular daha sonra sırasıyla Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü Testi (ZKYT) ile 6 dakika yürüme testine (6-DYT) katıldılar. ZKYT, FA düzeyi ile 6-DYT parametreleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanıldı.

Bulgular:Görme kaybı olan sporcuların ZKYT tamamlama süre ortalamaları 6.82±0.92 s’dir. Bunun yanında görme kaybı olan sporcuların 6-DYT test sırasındaki KAHmaksdeğerleri 146.3±7.8 atım.dk-¹, kat ettikleri toplam mesafe (TM) 600.6±90.4 m ve VO2maksdeğerleri ise 43.4±4.0 ml. dk-1.kg-1olarak belirlendi.Sporcuların haftalık toplam, yürüyüş ve yüksek şiddetli MET düzeyleri ile 6-DYT-TM arasında orta düzeyde anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki bulunurken (sırasıyla r=0.41, p=0.02; r=0.69, p=0.00 ; r=0.38, p=0.00), orta şiddetli MET düzeyi ile 6-DYT-TM arasında herhangi bir ilişki gözlemlenmedi (p=0.95).Görme kaybı olan sporcularda haftalık toplam ve yüksek şiddetli MET düzeyleri ile VO2maksarasında orta düzeyde anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki belirlendi (sırasıyla r=0.35, p=0.04; r=0.66, p=0.00), ancak orta şiddetli ve yürüyüş MET düzeyleri ile VO2maksarasında bir ilişki bulunmadı (sırasıyla, p=0.81; p=0.19). Yine görme kaybı olan sporcuların haftalık toplam ve yürüyüş MET düzeyleri ile ZKYT arasında orta düzeyde anlamlı negatif bir ilişki belirlendi (sırasıyla r=-0.40, p=0.02; r=-0.51, p=0.00), orta ve yüksek şiddetli MET düzeyleri ile ZKYT arasında ise herhangi bir ilişki gözlemlenmedi (sırasıyla p=0.18; p=0.77).

Sonuç:Yukarıdaki bulgulara göre görme kaybı olan sporcularda FA düzeyi arttıkça aerobik uygunluk ve fonksiyonel mobilite düzeyleri artmaktadır. Buradan hareketle görme kaybı olan bireylerde FA düzeyinin artırılmasına yönelik uygulamalar üzerinde durulmalıdır.

Objective: To measure femoral cartilage (FC) thickness and to evaluate the association between FC thickness and isokinetic muscle strength and rectus femoris (RF) muscle thickness in adolescent female basketball players.

Materials and Methods A total of 31 female adolescent basketball athletes with a mean age of 12.3 years (SD: 0.9) were included. Isokinetic measurements were performed on quadriceps and hamstring muscles bilaterally using a dynamometer. Bilateral RF and FC thicknesses were evaluated by ultrasonography. For FC thickness, three mid-point measurements were taken bilaterally from each knee as follows: lateral condyle, intercondylar area, and medial condyle. Mean FC thickness for each knee was calculated by values pertaining to the medial and lateral condyles, and the intercondylar area.

Results: Right and left mean FC thickness values were 0.23 (SD: 0.03) cm and 0.22 (SD: 0.03) cm. While there was a significant positive correlation between right and left FC thicknesses (r = 0.79, p < 0.001), no correlations were observed between FC and RF thicknesses or between the FC thickness and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strength.

Conclusion: The mean FC thickness does not seem to correlate either with the RF thickness or with the thigh muscle strength in adolescent female basketball players.

Published: May 2022

Calcification around the knee joint is a rare condition in athletes. Medial collateral ligament (MCL) calcification is the most frequent post-traumatic ligament calcification. There is very limited information about the calcification of cruciate ligaments. In this study, we aimed to present a management scheme for the diagnosis and treatment process of a veteran athlete with isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) calcification.

A 59-year-old female patient, who was formerly an athlete, admitted to emergency department with generalized right knee pain that aggravated with sports activities. Radiographic images revealed a calcification in line with the PCL contours. It was decided to perform arthroscopic debridement. After the operation, the patient's symptoms regressed rapidly.

Tendon calcifications may cause post-exercise pain in athletes with concomitant chronic diseases. Conservative treatment and non-steroidal antiinflammatory treatment should be tried first in all calcific tendinopathies. Although conservative treatment appears to be frequently satisfactory, arthroscopic excision may be a better option for the refractory or severe cases.

Authors: Örsçelik Aydan , Ercan Sabriye
Published: May 2022

Objective: To develop the "Physicians' Attitude Scale towards Doping" and provide the validity and reliability of the scale in Turkish physicians.

Material and Methods: This quantitative research design study followed the scale development study procedures. Initially, the 47-items pool was submitted for academicians’ expert opinion. Thirty-two items with a content validity ratio value below 0.56 were removed from the scale after expert opinion. Thus, the content validity ratio was calculated as 0.67-1.00, and the content validity index was 0.844. After the expert opinion, the pilot-scale with 15 items was applied to the physicians by reaching the sample size of at least 10 times the number of items. According to the answers given to the pilot scale, validity and reliability analyzes of the scale were made.

Results: A 15-item pilot scale was applied to 292 physicians. Four items that reduce the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and an item with a value below 0.30 in the extraction column of the communalities table were excluded from the scale. Item discrimination index values of the scale were found to be appropriate (p˂0.001). All of the item load distributions were found above 0.50, and the item quality was good. The total variance rate explained by this factor is 59.3%. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the whole scale was calculated as 0.761. The fit indices of the model tested with confirmatory factor analysis were good.

Conclusion: The "Physicians' Attitude Scale towards Doping" was developed, and the validity and reliability of the two factor and total 10-item scale were provided.

Published: May 2022

Di era pemerintahan Presiden Joko Widodo, negara semakin menguat vis a vis masyarakat sipil. Survei SMRC (2021) menyebutkan persentase orang yang takut bicara politik meningkat tajam dibanding 10 tahun sebelumnya. Media mainstream juga membatasi tampilnya orang-orang yang kritis terhadap pemerintah. Tapi, pada saat yang sama muncul media sosial sebagai alternatif untuk bersuara, salah satunya adalah Youtube. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, para aktivis politik secara rutin menggunakan Youtube untuk melakukan kritik terhadap kebijakan negara. Di pihak lain, negara bereaksi dengan berbagai macam instrumen, di antaranya membentuk yang disebut “buzzer” untuk melakukan serangan balik dan ancaman pemidanaan. Sejumlah aktivis Youtube dipidanakan karena konten yang dibuatnya. Menghadapi ancaman pemidanaan, para aktivis Youtube berusaha memproteksi diri dengan membentuk lembaga pers. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui pola oposisi masyarakat sipil  kontra negara di era teknologi komunikasi dan meluasnya penggunaan media sosial, sekaligus ingin mengetahui bentuk-bentuk respons negara terhadap gerakan kritis masyarakat sipil melalui media sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori hegemoni Antonio Gramsci untuk meneropong dialektika antara negara dan masyarakat sipil tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan sumber primer berasal dari wawancara mendalam dengan para “aktivis Youtube”.

The Constraining Dynamics to Promote the Inclusive Village Governance in an Autocratic Leadership Setting
Authors: Taufiq Muhammad , Hidayat Rahmad
Published: May 2022

This article discusses the implementation dynamics of the Village Law in a certain context which was backgrounded by the village head's autocratic leadership style that tends to hinder the agenda for institutionalising inclusive governance based on social justice in the village development management. Accountability and citizen engagement as the foundation of term inclusive governance are the principal factors that must be implemented by the Village Government in their routine tasks. As qualitative research with a case study approach, this research utilized a purposive sampling technique to determine the key informants targeted from the elements of the government and villagers. To limit the focus of interest, this research only presents a discussion about the implementation dynamics of the Village Law with the setting of the leadership style of the Village Head in the 2011-2017 period. Field findings show that Dorokobo Village, Kempo District, Dompu Regency has complex socio-economic problems, thus requiring the presence of a responsive government and active villagers to jointly manage various development activities. Unfortunately, expectations of ideal leadership are not widely found in the past structure of the Village Government because they were only busy with various administrative activities and absent from substantive matters. Political leaders came with a procedural and even autocratic style so that the regular participation spaces were limited opened by only involving the elite without the presence of all components of the community. The absence of a progressive process to develop institutional accountability was due to the lack of power that can compel the Village Government to apply the principles of accountability and transparency in their activities.

Published: May 2022

Real Estate is a wide area consisting of a physical piece of land and the developments on it such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructures. Real Estate can be classified based on the purpose of usage of the property i.e. Residential, Commercial, or Industrial. Since longtime real estate is considered the most secure investment for good returns. But several issues arise in the field of property transactions which are based on the trust that the buyer or seller has in a third-party middleman/broker as well as frauds, inaccurate market statistics, time-consuming processes as well as high processing fees charged by the middlemen/broker. To provide a solution problem a decentralized web application for real estate transactions is proposed in the project. To attain the solution, in this project we propose to design and develop a decentralized web application using blockchain and smart contract technology that avails property buyers and sellers to interact with the help of a private Ethereum network and deploy smart contracts which create a precise and transparent digital property transaction process. This results in the advantages over traditional real estate systems by neglecting the requirement of non-trusted third-party entities, reducing transaction processes as well as transaction costs.

Objectives: To evaluate the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in bladder cancer cases in Oman using immunohistochemistry, and to determine whether the level of PD-L1 expression is associated with tumor grade, stage, or outcome. An additional objective was to identify the clinicopathological features of bladder cancer among Omanis. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients where we subjected archived tissue samples to prospective analysis. All patients diagnosed and treated for bladder cancer in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital from January 2006 to December 2017 and followed up for at least one year were included. Clinical and demographical information of the patients was obtained from their medical records. PD-L1 testing using immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Scoring of PD-L1 expression by tumor cells was conducted independently by two pathologists. Positivity was defined using two different cut-off values (≥ 5% and ≥ 25%) of tumor cells showing membrane or cytoplasmic staining. The outcome was divided into two categories either no recurrence at the last follow-up, or recurrence/disease progression/death. Results: There were 68 cases of bladder cancer; 72.1% were male; the age range was 35–89 years (mean = 65.3 and median = 66). The largest number of patients were diagnosed with stage II cancer (38.8%) followed by stage I cancer (32.8%). Hematuria was the most common presentation (58.7%). High-grade tumors were seen in 83.8% (57/68) of patients. Invasive urothelial carcinoma appeared in 79.4% (54/68). PD-L1 tests were performed on 63 cases where tissue blocks were available. PD-L1 was positive in 44.4% of cases using a cut-off value of 5%; however, it dropped to 30.2% at a cut-off value of 25%. At the cut-off value of 5%, PD-L1 was significantly associated with tumor grade (p =0.033), but the significance was lost when the cut-off value of 25% was applied (p =0.250). No significant association was found between PD-L1 expression and outcome using both cut-off values and stage at diagnosis (p =0.798 and p =0.102, respectively).Conclusions: This study showed that at a cut-off value of ≥ 5%, 44.4% of cases of bladder cancer were PD-L1 positive. There was a significant association between PD-L1 expression in bladder cancer and tumor grade. No statistically significant association was found between tumor stage and outcome. The results indicated the potential benefit of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy for patients with high tumor grades.

Objectives: Initial reports indicate a high incidence of abnormal aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in patients with COVID-19 and possible association with acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to investigate clinical features of elevated transaminases on admission, its association with AKI, and outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the registered data of hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and assessment of the AST and ALT was performed. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI) and hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI). Results: The subjects comprised 828 patients (mean age = 65.0±16.0 years; 51.4% male). Hypertension was present in 70.3% of patients, diabetes mellitus in 26.0%, and chronic kidney disease in 8.5%. In-hospital mortality was 21.0%. At admission, only 41.5% of patients had hypertransaminasemia. Patients with elevated transaminases at admission were younger, had higher levels of inflammatory markers and D-dimer, and poorer outcomes. The AKI incidence in the study population was 27.1%. Patients with hypertransaminasemia were more likely to develop AKI (33.5% vs. 23.3%, p =0.003). Patients with predominantly elevated AST (compared to elevated ALT) were more likely to have adverse outcomes. Multinomial logistic regression found that hypertension, chronic kidney disease, elevated AST, and hematuria were associated with CA-AKI. Meanwhile, age > 65 years, hypertension, malignancy, elevated AST, and hematuria were predictors of HA-AKI. Conclusions: Elevated transaminases on admission were associated with AKI and poor outcomes. Patients with elevated AST were more likely to have adverse outcomes. Elevated AST on admission was associated with CA-AKI and was a predictor of HA-AKI.

The study aimed to see how committed the two parties to the psychological contract were to each other and how it affected the perceived corporate reputation. Using the descriptive-analytical approach, the study used a questionnaire to collect data and targeted an organized random sample of (231) persons in the Gaza Strip's official temporary work programs. According to the findings, the respondents' commitment to the organization was more significant than their commitment to them. It was also discovered that the target organizations are concerned about their reputation. The fulfillment of the organization's commitments to the individual had an impact on the individual's commitment to the organization on the one hand, and the organization's perceived reputation on the other. Because of their role in enhancing worker commitment and improving organizational reputation, the study recommended that organizations pay attention to the psychological contract as one of the tools of motivation, in addition to the necessity of fulfilling their obligations towards workers. It is suggested that future studies be focused on employees who work in more stable working settings.

Published: May 2022

Social media has become a familiar reality in many institutions and organizations, as it is considered one of the most important means of personal and organizational communication. Despite this, there are many challenges that organizations face when using social media among employees, for example: disrupting their productivity. This study aimed to identify the types of social media that are used by employees during their work and to know the extent of their impact on their productivity. A systematic literature review approach was followed. By reviewing and analyzing 37 articles and studies, the study concluded that social media, which can be categorized into social network, messages, email, forums, blogs, Wikis and many more, has become a common communication method for employees to exchange knowledge and collaborate among colleagues in the organization. By presenting and analyzing the previous literature related to the subject of the study, most of the primary studies demonstrated that the use of social media is beneficial to organizational and personal productivity. However, some studies have shown negative effects of social media use in the workplace. Most studies are not able to explain the actual causality of the employment factor that actually affects employee productivity in the workplace because they present their findings based on cross-sectional data. Therefore, this review can contribute to enriching the literature and serve as a basis for future studies concerned with determining the causality of the use of social media on employee productivity. Accordingly, this review proposed the intervention model for Internet addiction as a tool through which the causality of the use factor that contributes to the adverse effects of the organization's productivity and intervention can be addressed.

A POSSIBILIDADE DE PRÁTICA DE ABORTO EM VÍTIMAS DE ESTUPRO DE VULNERÁVEL VERSUS O DIREITO À VIDA DO FETO
Authors: Silva Cecília Cristina Aparecida , Anselmo Marisa Marta
Published: May 2022

Através da presente pesquisa científica, trata-se sobre a possibilidade de prática de aborto em caso de gravidez decorrente de um crime de estupro de vulnerável em detrimento do direito à vida do feto. Nesse contexto, observa-se que o Código Penal Brasileiro, por intermédio do artigo 128, II, apresenta duas possibilidades de aborto legal e, dentre elas, tem-se a questão tratada no artigo. Ressalta-se, nesse esteio, que existem duas vertentes doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais acerca do assunto, quais sejam, aqueles que se posicionam em prol da manutenção do direito à vida do feto, mesmo que tal gestação seja decorrente de um crime de estupro de vulnerável. De outro modo, tem-se aqueles que se posicionam em prol do direito de a vítima realizar o aborto, em consonância com o princípio da dignidade humana e com a necessidade de se proteger a integridade física e psíquica da mesma. Com subsídio em tais posicionamentos, compreende-se que cada caso deverá ser analisado pelo magistrado de modo individual, com o sopesamento de princípios e direitos fundamentais, para que não haja a propagação de decisões injustas e contrárias aos valores sociais. Com relação à metodologia adotada, enfatiza-se a utilização de mecanismos bibliográficos, doutrinários e jurisprudenciais, haja vista que a temática é puramente teórica.
fresh look at the concept of Genus Epidemicus: findings from the Clificol Project
Authors: Tournier Alexander , Fok Yvonne , Van Haselen Robert
Published: May 2022

Background: The Clificol® COVID-19 Support Project is an innovative international data collection project aimed at tackling some of the core questions in homeopathy, including the notion of Genus Epidemicus. Aims: To shed some light on the notion of Genus Epidemicus in the context of this infection. Going beyond that, the project aims to use these data to tackle more fundamental questions, such as the role of symptoms and rubrics in treatment individualisation. Methodology: This online multi-national data-collection project is supported by the ECH, ECCH, ICH, HRI, LMHI, and other professional associations. The collected data includes demographic information, severity, conventional diagnosis and treatment, presenting symptoms as well as the remedies prescribed. The outcome of treatment was tracked using the ORIDL scale. The concept of Genus Epidemicus, including the role of treatment individualisation, was investigated by analysing whether presenting symptoms cluster into distinct groups (K-Means clustering approach). The symptom data originating from China was obtained using a questionnaire. Results and discussion: 20 Chinese practioners collected 359 cases, primarily in the first half of 2020 (766 consultations, 363 prescriptions). The cluster analysis found two to be the optimum number of clusters. These two symptomatic clusters had a high overlap with the two most commonly prescribed remedies in that population: In cluster 1 there were 297 prescriptions, 95.6% of which were Gelsemium sempervirens, In cluster 2, there were 61 prescriptions, 95.1% of which were Bryonia alba. Under the assumption of a single genus epidemicus we would expect to see a single cluster of symptoms. The data from the Chinese population were not compatible with this assumption. Conclusion: This was the first study that investigated the notion of Genus Epidemicus by using modern statistical techniques. These analyses identified at least two distinct symptom pictures. The notion of a single COVID-19 Genus Epidemicus did not apply to this population.

Introduction: Solvatochromic dyes are probes to detect variations on the dipole moment of solvents after the insertion of homeopathic potencies. Recent studies have shown they can be useful tools in laboratory and field studies to detect the activity of homeopathic remedies. Objective: Determine whether solvatochromic dyes can be a diagnostic tool for cells infected by different agents and/or markers to identify the activity of homeopathic medicines. Methods: Ethilicum 1cH, Silicea terra 6, 30, 200cH; Zincum metallicum 6, 30, 200cH and Phosphorus 6, 30 and 200cH were analyzed by pouring the samples (in a 1:60 rate) into a series of seven dyes (rhodamine, ET 33, ET 30, coumarin 7, NN DMIA, Nile red, methylene violet) diluted in absolute ethanol using pre-established working concentrations. Oscillations of dye absorbance were observed at visible light spectrophotometry according to the remedy and potency. Water and succussed water were used as controls. In a second moment, the absorbance profile of the remedies will be compared with those of biological samples (supernatants) and checked with the biological effect previously obtained from each treatment. Supernatants of RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated by Calmette-Guérin bacilli (BCG) or infected with Encephalitozoon cuniculi will be analyzed. Results: Preliminary results have shown that Silicea terra 6cH, Phosphorus 30 and 200cH and Zincum metallicum 6, 30 and 200cH reduced the absorbance of methylene violet (p=0.01). Repetitions and analysis of supernatants are expected to be performed in the next steps of the study. Future perspectives: Establish a pattern of reactivity of the studied medicines with different dyes and the putative relation with the corresponding supernatants, as an attempt to obtain a “physicochemical signature” for each kind of infection and/or treatment.
