Lack of gender differences in engineering students’ assessment of group-based project exams
Authors: Dahl Søndergaard Bettina
Published: February 2023

At Aalborg University in Denmark, engineering, science, and mathematics students usually spend half the time each semester working in groups on projects within a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum. These projects are assessed through group-based exams where students receive individual grades. A previous survey of all engineering, science, and mathematics students showed significant differences in how they, respectively, view various aspects of the group exam. However, students also differ when comparing engineering programmes. This paper focuses on potential gender differences in perception of the group exam. Studies of other exam types showed, e.g., that female students report higher levels of text anxiety, have different reactions to exam pressure, and are less overconfident than male students. The present survey was answered by 915 students (617 males, 298 females) from all semesters and study programmes in engineering, science, and mathematics. The analysis showed that on the majority of questions, there were no significant differences between males and females. However, female students are significantly more in favour of an individual exam, and significantly more often experience they need to speak before having finished thinking. Significantly more male students find that participating with their peers during the group-quizzing phase of the exam gives a sense of security, and they are significantly more tactical about when to speak. The paper discusses the areas of significant differences among males and females and the areas without such differences, and concludes that a group exam might be a more gender neutral type of exam for engineering students.

Purpose: The study investigated the availability and accessibility of multimedia resources for teaching and learning Senior High School (SHS) mathematics. It also investigated how SHS mathematics teachers perceive their ability to use multimedia resources in teaching mathematics as well as the effect of gender on teachers’ perceived ability to use multimedia resources.

Methodology: The research design used was a survey. The population for the study was all Public SHS mathematics teachers in the Central, Eastern, and Volta regions of Ghana. Purposive (non-probability) sampling and Convenience (non-probability) sampling methods were used in selecting twelve (12) schools in the three (3) regions and all the mathematics teachers in these schools formed the sample for the study. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the teachers sampled. This was comprised of seventy-three (73) teachers, sixty-four (64) males, and nine (9) females from these three district types: twenty (20) District Assemblies, thirty-three (33) Municipal Assemblies, and twenty (20) Metropolitan Assemblies.

Findings: The study found that most of the teachers surveyed had a high perception of their ability to use computers and multimedia to teach mathematics at the SHS level. However, their perceived ability to use multimedia resources was higher for general-purpose applications; peripherals were higher than that of special mathematics applications software. There was no statistically significant difference between gender and teachers’ perceived ability to use multimedia resources. About half, representing 49.3% of the teachers indicated that they have Computer and Computer Laboratories in their schools but without internet connectivity. The labs were accessible for teaching and learning mathematics.

Conclusion: The study conclude that gender, age, teaching experience, and school location have no significant influence on the use of multimedia by mathematics teachers.

Recommendations: The study recommend more females to be encouraged to pursue mathematics related disciplines at the higher levels of education. Also, the use of more multimedia tools should be incorporated into the curriculum so that teachers will be encouraged to use them frequently in the classroom. Education institution development should be overseen by stakeholders like parents, philanthropists, or donor organizations.

Authors: Kose Sefanur
Published: February 2023

Background: In parallel with the development of neuroimaging methods, become increasingly possible to explore the relationship between mental disorders and structural brain lesions. It is aimed to examine the relationship between the clinicalfeatures and psychopathologies of psychiatric patients and their anomalies. Methods: Two hundred-six female patients who were treated in Clinic of Psychiatry, Rize Training and Research Hospital between01/Jan/2016 and 31/Dec/2021 and had brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included in this study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics data form was recorded for each patient. Simultaneously, the size and location of the anomalies were recorded by scanning the brain MRI. Results: When the brain MRI scans of the patients were evaluated, 56% of 206 patients had at least one of the related anomalies. Enlarged Virchow-Robin space (VRS) in 2.4%, mega cisterna magna (MCM) in 14.6%, total empty sella (ES) in 8.3%, partial ES in 27.7%, cavum vergae (CV) in 1.9%, hippocampal remnant cyst (HRC) in 17%and 6.8% had arachnoid cyst (AC) findings. When the sociodemographic data and clinical characteristics of the patients were compared with the brain MRI findings, a significant correlation was found between the presence of MCM and the use of antidepressant medication (p=0.026). A significant correlation was found between the presenceof AC, disease duration and regular treatment history (p=0.0002). No significant correlation was found between otherdata and MRI (p>0.05). Conclusions: In our study, it is noteworthy that a higher rate of anomaly was detected in brain imaging of caseswith a history of psychiatric diagnosisand treatment comparedto the general population.

Myeloid Sarcoma: Current Approach and Treatment Strategies
Authors: R. Patel Govind
Published: February 2023

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells with associated tissue damage. Although MS can manifest as isolated form without blood and marrow involvement, in the majority of the cases it is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rarely, it may present in other myeloid disorders. It should, therefore, be considered in a differential diagnosis of any atypical soft tissue mass. MS can develop at any site, resulting in varied clinical manifestations. Identification and diagnosis of MS is highly challenging and depends on a high index of suspicion as well as on imaging, histopathology, immunophenotyping, and genetic analyses. Owing to the lack of prospective clinical trials, there is not enough data in the field to develop a consensus therapeutic regimen for MS. Majority of the patients with MS, including isolated MS, respond to upfront systemic chemotherapy using AML-like regimens that should be commenced early. Surgical resection and/or radiation therapy can be employed for symptomatic lesions or tumors causing local organ dysfunction or obstruction. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has demonstrated promising results as consolidation therapy after complete remission with induction chemotherapy. Recent development in sequencing analysis has provided significant insights into the development of novel targeted therapies. At present, there are no validated prognostic factors for MS which can help in risk stratification of patients and treatment planning. As there is limited knowledge regarding the clinical approach and management strategies of MS, this review aims to update current knowledge about MS.
Exercise Intensity and Borg’s Scale as Self-Monitoring Tools in Wheelchair Test for Soldiers with Post-traumatic Lower Limb Injury
Authors: ERNANDINI Endang
Published: February 2023

Background: Soldiers recovering from lower limb injury must maintain their endurance to return to duty. Wheelchair is commonly used for exercising during the recovery process to maintain muscular and cardiorespiratory endurance. Aim of the study is to assess heart rate (HR) or exercise intensity and Borg’s scale as self-monitoring tools in wheelchair exercise for soldiers. Methods: Design of the study is cross-sectional internal comparison study. One hundred and four healthy, well-trained male normal soldiers (NS) performed 12 minutes tests: (1) running, (2) wheeling a sports wheelchair. Fifty injured soldiers (IS) performed 12 minutes wheeling test. HR and distance were measured using a smartwatch. The HR was then used as a measurement for exercise intensity. Borg’s perceived score of effort, dyspnea, and fatigue was obtained by conducting interviews. Result: There is no significant difference in the characteristics of NS and IS, thus the subjects in both groups are comparable. Distance and intensity values were significantly lower in the wheeling test than in the running test (P<0.05). During the running test, all subjects could reach their maximum level of intensity, whereas, during the wheeling test, both NS and IS subjects reached the moderate-vigorous level of intensity. The Borg’s scale showed a significant difference in dyspnea and fatigue scores between running and wheeling (P<0.05). In the NS group, an interesting phenomenon emerged, there was a difference between the onset of dyspnea and fatigue. Dyspnea occured prior to leg fatigue during the running test. On the other hand, when they performed wheeling test, dyspnoe occurs later and is not even felt, instead arm fatigue will appears fist. Conclusion: Counting of HR for exercise intensity, Borg’s scale (dyspnea and fatigue) can be a convenient alternative for self-monitoring wheeling exercise. These two tools are meant to help assessing safety and goals of exercise.

At present, constitutional institutions have efforts to be politicized by the exact same institution, namely the legislative body. According to Kurnia Ramadhana, ICW's Political Corruption Division, in a seminar organized by Sahabat ICW, there was a haphazard and authoritarian practice of the DPR RI towards the Constitutional Court which was very clearly seen, both from the actions after the plenary session of the DPR RI and from the statements of DPR members. Qualitative method . In this case, it can be said that what was done by the DPR was contrary to the 1945 Constitution which should not have been carried out because it was contrary to the principle of constitutional supremacy. What was done by the DPR considered attacking the independence of power at the heart of the country, namely the Constitutional Court by legal experts, one of whom was Palguna I Dewa Gede, a former constitutional judge According to legal experts and former constitutional judges, that the Constitutional Court is an institution that is considered the heart of the country, constitutional supremacy that must stand upright. If an independent constitution is intervened by another power institution, it will have an impact on the supremacy of the constitution itself. This also causes constitutional institutions to lose their independence, and what is done by the DPR is considered contrary to the 1945 Constitution. This will have an impact on the supremacy of the constitution itself. This also causes constitutional institutions to lose their independence, and what is done by the DPR is considered contrary to the 1945 Constitution. This will have an impact on the supremacy of the constitution itself. This also makes constitutional institutions lose their independence, and what is done by the DPR is considered contrary to the 1945 Constitution.

Introduction: Blood transfusion is a lifesaving essential therapeutic procedure in many medical and surgical instances, as there is no genuine substitution. Even though it can save many human lives, in some instances it can transmit infectious diseases which are fatal. Amongst the undesirable complications due to blood transfu-sion, transmission of certain Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTIs) like HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis are the most significant long term detrimental side effects. Hence meticulous pre transfusion testing and screening particularly for TTIs is the need of the hour. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and trend of HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis among the blood donors. Materials and Methods: The study was done at Blood bank, Chigateri District Hospital, attached to J J M Medical College, Davangere. Data was collected for a period of 5 years, from January 2010 to December 2014. All the blood samples were screened for HIV, HBV and HCV by ELISA and Syphilis by Rapid Plasma Reagin test (RPR). Results: A total of 27, 300 blood donors were screened during the study period, out of which 85.5% were voluntary donors and 14.5 % were replacement donors. Among the blood donors screened, seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis was 0.25 %, 1.99 %, 0.02 % and 0.004 % respectively. Conclusion: Blood transfusion should be strictly done only during an absolute need. To give utmost importance to continue screening donated blood, with highly sensitive and specific tests and to counsel positive donors for any above infections.

Novel corona virus(COVID-19) was first described in December 2019, identified as the cause of a clus-ter of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei Province of China. Since then world wide spread is report-ed affecting millions of people. India reported its first case of COVID-19 on January 30th in Kerala. On March 11, 2020 after spread to Spain, Italy, USA and other parts of the world, WHO declared it as a pandemic and it indi-cated widespread community transmission on at least two continents. It belongs to the order Nidovirales , family Coronaviridae , and the subfamily Orthocoronaviri-nae.Corona virus is spherical, enveloped, and the largest of positive-strand RNA viruses. It uses, the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, for cell entry. The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to be with-in 14 days following exposure. In person to person transmission, respiratory droplets were considered the main mode as it can happen through coughing, sneezing, and even while speaking. Person to person transmis-sion also occurs after touching the surface infected with respiratory droplets of an infected person, and touch-ing the face (coming in contact with a mucous membrane of eyes, nose and oral cavity). The spectrum of symptomatic infection ranges from mild to critical; most infections are not severe. It can range from a simple URTI to a complicated pneumonia. Fever(99%), Fatigue(70%), Dry cough (59 %), Ano-rexia (40%), Myalgias(35 %), Dyspnea (31 %), Sputum production (27 %) were the most common clinical fea-tures. No treatment is approved or shown effective and safe. Remdesivir, Lopinavir/ritonavir and many other antiviral drugs are in trial. Acute respiratory distress syndrome , Cardiovascular complications, Acute liver inju-ry, Cytokine release syndrome, Septic shock , Neurological complications are reported in some studies.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are significant public health problems characterized by structural or functional anomalies of the kidneys. CKD is considered one of the ma-jor non-communicable diseases and its prevalence is increasing rapidly in Saudi Arabia. Early detection of CKD is crucial but is not common as it is generally asymptomatic in the early stages. As a result, many cases are iden-tified at more advanced stages. Aim: Risk assessment of CKD and ESRD epidemic in the Al-Leith Area in corre-lation with clinical, socioeconomic, and biochemical parameters using the Screening for Occult Renal Disease (SCORED) form. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional, non-interventional investigation was conducted on every patient ad-mitted to the internal medicine clinic-kidney unit at Al-Leith General Hospital (June-October 2018). The demo-graphic and anthropometric data were obtained using a structured questionnaire, while urine and blood sam-ples were collected and analyzed respectively. Results: 120 patients were included as divided into 2 groups (Group I-CKD=89 patients, Group II-ESRD=31 patients). A significant difference was found for kidney function, swelling of the limbs, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, Sodium levels, and blood pressure (P<0.05). Patients scoring 0-3 for occult renal disease (SCORED) were 73 in Group I (82.02%) and 2 in Group II (6.45%), while a score >4 was observed in 16 (17.98%) and 29 (93.55%), respectively. Conclusions: Chronic diseases along with lifestyle influences were found to greatly affect CKD progression to ESRD. The use of the SCORED is a good pre-screening tool for CKD as it was effective at identifying patients at risk of kidney disease. Keywords: SCORED, CKD, ESRD, KDIGO, Risk factors, Al-Lieth, KSA

Central nervous system Arterio-venous-malformations (AVM) are relatively rare developmental anom-alies in both paediatric and adult populations. It is although not very rare to treat these AVM’s with radiosur-gery. There has been multiple case series published in literature about the possible treatment options and role of Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Gamma Knife, Cyber knife, Linac based SRS and Proton beam radiosurgery are different options used for the delivery of SRS. We intend to present a case of cerebral AVM in an adult pa-tient, successfully treated with Linac based SRS using simplified setup techniques and advanced planning sys-tem.
