Comparative Analysis of Educational Regulations of the bachelor’s degree course in “Biomedical Laboratory Techniques” in the Lombard Universities
Authors: Antognoli Davide , Saletta Norma Agnese , Boria Angela , Tacchini Lorenza
Published: October 2023

With the institution of university courses, the course of study of the biomedical laboratory technician has experienced a real revolution. At the basis of the training of university courses there are decrees and laws that aim to standardize, while maintaining the autonomy of the universities, the educational offer that is provided to the undergraduate nationally.
The purpose of this document is to understand the basics of structuring a degree course and to compare the educational offer that the Lombard university system makes available to future biomedical laboratory technicians. Starting from the analysis of the study plans of the degree courses, obtained from the institutional sites of the five Lombard universities that offer this path, a comparison was made between the standard in force on the construction of the degree course in biomedical laboratory techniques and the distribution of ECTS operated by each university in its teaching plan. The analysis highlighted a substantial similarity between the organizations of the degree course and adherence to regulatory indications. The only exceptions are the presence in some didactic plans of training activities no longer present in the current legislation and a poor valorization in some universities of the MED / 46 (Biotechnology and Methods in Laboratory Medicine), the academic discipline of reference for the professional profile of the biomedical laboratory technician.

Numerous scientific evidences show that people with a mental disorder suffer not only from the disorder itself, but also, and perhaps above all, for the social and relational consequences that the disorder produces and which manifest themselves in the form of stigma. The improvement of mental health, with a view to Recovery, is in fact based on the possibility of taking advantage of socio-professional contexts in which users and operators have the opportunity to live meaningful relationships, and this can translate into a form of existence as much as possible rewarding and satisfying. The main purpose of the work was to investigate how much the “Innovative Technologies for Social Inclusion” project allowed to combine the promotion of the territory and the social inclusion of people with severe mental health problems. It was possible to analyze this element through the FPS Scale (personal and social functioning) and two evaluation grids administered. The New Communication and Information Technologies (ICT) have made it possible to rethink a new relationship between Digital Technology and the world of Disability; in fact they have allowed the patients of the Psychosocial Ria Community of Campolieto a more satisfactory quality of life and a better enhancement of the territory. These results offer promising preliminary evidence that the use of ICT provides an effective tool for promoting the social inclusion of discriminated groups of the population such as people with severe mental disorders.

In spinal cord injury in the acute phase, pulmonary complications are the most common cause of death and often affect the outcome even during the chronic phase.In the initial acute phase, the person is assisted in ICU and the management of the airways can be guaranteed in two ways: invasive by subjecting the patient to tracheotomy and invasive ventilation, non-invasive by extubating the patient early, supporting him with Non-Invasive Ventilation ( NIV).Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages.For about 6 years in the Intensive Therapy of the Neuromotor Pole (Sod neuroanesthesia and Reanimation) Careggi hospital in Florence has been strengthened 54 patients with complete or incomplete spinal cord injury, resulting from trauma, have been hospitalized only 23 patients (less than 43%) have needed tracheostomy. Those who did not have the tracheostomy performed NIV in the early stages, and then moved on to more autonomous ventilatory modes. Allpatients were treated with a mechanical cough assistant.From the retrospective investigation it appears that NIV can be considered a valid alternative to invasive ventilation in the bone marrow patient. However, it is necessary to specify that the desired objectives can only be achieved with solid knowledge of the health professionals involved and above all by close collaboration within the multidisciplinary team.The non-invasive approach has reduced complications for the patient, hospitalization times with a consequent reduction in treatment costs.In light of the data that emerged and the considerations made, we can think that this is only the beginning of a multidisciplinary path that reduces the invasive approach on our clients as much as possible.

Published: October 2023

Drafting of standardized protocols referring to standard patients according to the 2015 National Guidelines, each of which will be associated with a dose index (“dose class”), pursuant to Legislative Decree 101/2020, article 161, paragraph No. 6.study, data were collected from the execution on at least 5 patients of the practices admitted to standardization, for each hospital belonging to the ASL BT, using a CR detector and the values of the set parameters were recorded (kV, mA, exposure time, fi e-bed distance, focus-detector distance, field size, SEV, use or not of the AEC, possible use of the anti-diffusion grid). For each protocol, the associated effective dose was then calculated and the corresponding dose class assigned.Starting from the analysis of the data, 33 standard protocols were proposed for the execution of bone densitometric radiographic examinations, with a single densitometric model, and traditional radiology with two different OPT equipment and a remote-controlled model, installed in the ASL BT facilities.The study represents the proposal of 33 standard protocols for the execution of radiological examinations on the examined equipment, for each of which the associated dose class has been verified, which agrees with the reference one. Starting from the protocols obtained, it has been shown that the use of AEC involves a dose saving for the patient. In the ASL BT it is therefore possible to proceed with the implementation of the Guidelines.

Published: October 2023

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) is a plan approved in 2021 to relaunch the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic and provides for an investment and reform package divided into six Missions, including Health. The recent pandemic has clearly demonstrated how the Hospital/Territory axis has not been able to withstand the impact of an event such as the COVID pandemic. With a view to an overall improvement of the system, the PNRR gives us the opportunity to intervene by completely redesigning the territorial health and the goal is to compensate for the current territorial care inequalities and bridge the distance between the traditional places of care and the daily life of the patient, strengthening the health and social health network in the territory with better primary care services.In this context, Home Radiology, a branch of radiology, is inserted, which deals with all procedures aimed at performing traditional radiographic examinations at the home of the non-ambulatory and / or non-transportable patient on the basis of clinical evaluations.To validate the activity of Home Radiology, in this experimental study, radiographic examinations performed at home were compared with radiographic examinations performed in the hospital with the aim of highlighting that this method is desirable and mature to be spread and used in the Territory.Through a blind analysis by some hospital Radiologists, in fact, it is shown that the examinations performed at the patient’s home are, practically, superimposable to those performed in an outpatient setting.

Authors: John Elijah Okon , Udoh Udoh Godwin
Published: October 2023

This paper shall examine the idea and nature of terrorism and the dangers it poses to the Nigerian system. It considers the reign of terror that has been perpetrated by terrorist groups and how it has resulted in wanton waste of precious human lives. There have been efforts by the government of Nigeria especially through the military to rescue the nation from this menace, but these efforts are clearly not enough, given that innocent citizens are still being assaulted, maimed and killed at the slightest of opportunities by different terrorist groups domiciled in and operating within the country. The activities of these immoral men have not only taken sleep away from the eyes of Nigerian citizens, but it has shaken the political, economic, religious, legal, cultural and the security apparatuses of this nation to their foundations, undermining all important moves made by constituted authority to curb its dangerous spread, and showing reckless disregard for the sanctity of human life. The paper attempts to apply Alexander Passerin D'entreves' notion of law to see how it can be harnessed and applied in addressing what has proven to be an international shame. To achieve this aim, this work shall adopt qualitative method as it tries to bring about a holistic picture of terrorism in Nigeria and the way forward.

Published: October 2023

This paper examines the role of judicial judgment in curbing crime in the society with special interest in the Nigerian society. To examine this successfully, some cases handled by the judicial system in Nigeria are analysed, and the judgment passed on these cases are stated in this work which gives a clearer picture of the role judicial judgment plays, in recent times, in curbing crime. Defining the concept of crime by various scholars such as Paul Wilbur Tappan, as well as a brief look into Emile Durkheim’s view that crime is inevitable and a normal aspect of social life are also areas touched in this work. This study adopt, the content analysis methodology and the classical theory of Jeremy Bentham to explain the topic. Other theories reviewed in this work include: Marxist theory of crime
control and the Legalization and Decriminalization theories. In conclusion, it is recommended that judgments passed on cases should be given higher publicity and judicial judgment should be swift as the punishment meted on offenders should be severe enough to have a deterrent effect on others, as this would help in curbing crime since man is a rational being.

Hal ini dikarenakan perusahaan belum melakukan sertifikasi pada personil/petugas khususnya (madya dan utama) untuk pekerjaan diruang terbatas, perusahaan belum menyediakan SCBA (self contain breathing apparatus), Rescue Plan perusahaan belum pernah melakukan simulasi pertolongan pertama pada korban diruang terbatas, perusahaan belum memiliki personil P3K yang tersertifikasi seperti disyaratkan dalam pedoman.
Pathogenesis and Intervention Study of Idiopathic Scoliosis in Elementary and Middle School Students
Authors: Bu Xiangrui
Published: October 2023

Scoliosis, also known as lateral curvature of the spine or spinal lateral deviation, is a three-dimensional spinal deformity characterized by the bending of one or multiple segments of the spine to the side accompanied by vertebral rotation. It appears in the shape of an "S" or "C" and can cause pain during standing, walking, or lifting heavy objects, leading to a reduction in physical activity. Scoliosis is the most common spinal disorder among children and adolescents. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) refers to scoliosis that occurs during the teenage years and its etiology remains unclear. AIS is a spinal condition characterized by a three-dimensional deformity in the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes, with a Cobb angle of 10 degrees or more. The global prevalence of AIS ranges from 0.47% to 5.2% (Erwin et al., 2020; Konieczny et al., 2013). According to a study by Qiu Guixing et al., the prevalence of scoliosis in China is estimated to be approximately 0.6% to 2.0%, with 90% of cases being AIS. Jia Juanjuan et al., conducted a scoliosis screening of 8,026 students in Jiaxing City in 2019, with initial screening identifying 218 positive cases. Among them, 132 cases were confirmed through X-ray examination, estimating a scoliosis prevalence rate of 5.46% among primary and secondary school students in Jiaxing City. Chen Xiaosheng, Ru Shouhang et al., conducted a scoliosis survey among students from the fourth grade of primary school to the second grade of high school in various districts of Shenzhen City from January to December 2020, with the results showing a scoliosis prevalence rate of 5.01% among primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen City. The prevalence rate was higher in females than males and increased with age. If scoliosis in adolescents is not promptly and effectively treated during their growth process, the spinal deformity can rapidly progress and lead to various complications. For example, scoliosis can cause changes in the shape of the ribs, resulting in unequal thoracic cavity volume and breathing difficulties. Prolonged restricted breathing can lead to complications such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. Additionally, scoliosis can affect the functioning of abdominal organs, leading to pulmonary dysfunction and hypoxia, and in severe cases, it can cause cardiorespiratory failure. Furthermore, scoliosis not only affects the physical health of patients but also their mental well-being. The physical appearance changes caused by scoliosis deformity can potentially lead to psychological disorders.

Their blood samples were collected and haemorheological properties (Whole Blood Viscosity, Plasma Viscosity, ESR and haematocrits) were analysed against various phases of menstrual cycle namely: menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal phases among female undergraduate students in Port Harcourt. Results and Discussions: Result of the study when compared with the WHO standard references showed a significant (ρ≤0.05) difference in ESR, PV, WBV and ESR for menstruation and follicular phases while HCT was not significant with ovulation and luteal phases. Flow properties was also significant (ρ≤0.05) with ages (16-23, 24-30 and ≥31) years as compared with the WHO Control. BMI and blood pressure was also significant (ρ≤0.05) with Haemorrheological properties of blood. Conclusion: The study therefore concluded that there is a significant (ρ≤0.05) correlation between flow properties of blood and phases of menstrual cycle among university students in Port Harcourt, Nigeria as compared with the WHO standard values.

The regulation of the mechanism for settling minor or simple lawsuits is done through conciliation efforts in Article 14 letter (b) PERMA Number 2 of 2015 has regulated that Judges must play an active role in seeking to settle cases peacefully but do not regulate the form of conciliation efforts and there is an overlapping role of the Judge as examiner of cases and as a mediator who has not achieved justice for the parties. The aim of the research is to analyze the weaknesses of conciliation efforts in resolving simple tort cases in Indonesia currently and to reconstruct peace efforts in resolving simple tort cases based on fairness values using a constructivist paradigm with empirical research and a socio-legal approach. Analysis of research data in a qualitative descriptive manner where the location of the research was the Batang District Court and the Pasuruan District Court. The results of the research show that the Weaknesses in conciliation efforts in resolving simple lawsuits are that the form of conciliation is not regulated and the overlapping role of the Judge as examiner of cases and as a facilitator/mediator. Therefore a legal Reconstruction is needed in Article 14 letter (b) PERMA Number 2 of 2015 where Judges are no longer required to play an active role but Judges seek peace through negotiations and oblige the parties to negotiate during the first trial and report the results to the examining Judge of the case to realize justice for the parties.

Introduction: Recurrent early spontaneous pregnancy loss is the most common negative outcome of pregnancy and identification of modifiable risk factors is potentially of great importance for public health. The immunological factors may play a role in failure of pregnancy in women with recurrent pregnancy loss. The role of this vitamin D has also been proved in the immune system. Aim of the Study: This study aim to determine serum vitamin D status among women with recurrent early spontaneous pregnancy loss and to compare the vitamin D level among them with healthy pregnant women. Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was done at the out patient department of obstetrics and Gynecology in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University during September 2018 to August 2019. The study comprises of 70 women carrying singleton fetus, gestational age between 8 to 12 weeks, in the age range of 18 to 35 years. The respondents were divided into two groups, 35 pregnant women in their early pregnancy loss with previous history of two or more early spontaneous pregnancy loss were considered as group I and 35 women in their early live pregnancy with previous history of one or more successful pregnancy and no history of any pregnancy loss were considered as group II. Fasting serum vitamin D level was measure by CMIA. Results: This study found that most the respondents were vitamin D deficient in both groups. In group I 17(48.6%) and in group II 10(28.6%) were vitamin D severe deficient. Again in group I 18(51.4%) and 24(68.6%) in group II were vitamin D deficient. The mean vitamin D level was 9.90±2.28 ng/ml in group I and 11.43±3.96 ng/ml in group II. The differences was statistically not significant (P>0.05) between two groups. There is a negative correlation (r-0.235; p 0.175) between serum vitamin D level and number of pregnancy loss. Which indicate increase number of pregnancy loss associated with decrease level of vitamin D. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficient in both groups, however the vitamin D level was comparatively low in women with recurrent early spontaneous pregnancy loss but the differences was not significant between two groups.

Like other aspects of organizations’ resources, emotions in service oriented field of human endeavor is seen as a product, yet, in most developing and underdeveloped economies, most employers and organizations often give little or no attention to its existence. Thus, this study examines the value of emotional labour in Nigeria public sectors. From the review of related literatures, the study established that the attention given and the value placed on emotional labour in the Nigerian public service organizations (especially, the police force, public schools and the healthcare services) is inadequate, as it is not fairly compensated as well as untrained and undeveloped, in spite of the enormous contributions made by employees in these institutions to the development and sustenance of the nation’s economy. Thus, the need for organizations (especially service oriented public enterprises) in Nigeria, to give adequate attention to emotional labor in order to optimize its use in achieving effective service delivery.
