Face to Face versus Virtual Assessment - A Survey On Indian Medical Students' Perception During COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ghosh Anasuya , Sarkar Satabdi , Ray Biswabina , Sarkar Arpita , Dasgupta Anirban
Published: September 2024

Background:

Assessment has a very important role in curricular development by motivating students and target setting, providing appropriate feedback and quality assurance. During COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdown, most of the medical schools throughout the world including India had to undergo a paradigm shift from face to face to online mode in medical education and assessment. This study was planned to assess and analyze the perception and opinion of 1st-year medical students from all over the country regarding the online assessment (OA) process that emerged during the COVID 19 pandemic. We also tried to find out the preferred resources that the students wanted to access via online mode and any major hindrance they faced.

Methodology:

It was a cross-sectional, Internet based, online survey conducted on 1st year medical students from all over India.

Result:

Students preferred the traditional (face to face) examinations over the OA in terms of usefulness, motivation, answering long answer questions, adequacy of allotted time, and ease of performance. However, they favored OA in terms of examination anxiety, examiner bias, and answering the objective type of questions. The lack of good Internet connectivity was considered a major hindrance.

Conclusion:

This information might be helpful for respective authorities to establish an effective online platform which could deliver an authentic and valid OA in future during any crisis.
Measurement of Metric and Nonmetric Parameters for Determining the Gender of the Human Mandible
Authors: Kumar Anil , Klinkhachorn Penprapa S. , Mohammed Ciraj Ali
Published: September 2024

Background:

In humans, the mandible is the longest, densest, and most robust facial bone. It displays a high degree of phenotypic variation between sexes and is resistant to postmortem trauma. Measures of male and female mandibles were quantified in this study along with nonmetric and metric parameters to determine the gender.

Methodology:

In this retrospective observational study, 96 mandibles (55 males and 41 females) were evaluated for gender through the measurement of 15 metric and 5 nonmetric parameters.

Results:

A significant correlation between nonmetric variables of the squared chin (85.54%), prominent muscle markings (74.54%), everted gonial flares (94.54%), and triangular coronoid processes (81.81%) was found. Females, by contrast, tended to have a rounded chin (68.49%), a less prominent muscle marking (53.6%), an inverted gonial flare (95.54%), and a hooked shape coronoid process (80.48%). All metric mandible parameters were determined, evaluated, and statistically analyzed in SPSS to determine whether gender had a relationship with the mandibles.

Conclusion:

Various metric and nonmetric criteria, in addition to existing methods, can be used to determine the gender of a person's mandible.
Role of 4-Methylimidazole in Liver Toxicity
Authors: Yadav Suman , Kalra Sunita , Wadhwa Surbhi , Rani Pooja
Published: September 2024

Background:

These days, food products industry involves the commercial production and addition of food colors, which comprises many food dyes, including caramel colors. 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) is a component of various caramel-colored food products such as bakery, beer, soft drinks, coffee and sauces, which are consumed daily. The most common route of exposure is ingestion and liver is the organ of detoxification. The histomorphometric observations in liver after 4-MEI consumption have not been reported to the best of our knowledge and so the present study have been designed to evaluate the same.

Methodology:

Adult male Wistar albino rats weighing 150–200 g were procured for the study and divided into the control and experimental groups. The experimental animals were given 4-MEI orally by gavage tube at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight daily for 1 month, while the control animals received distilled water. At the end of experiment, all the animals were euthanized under ether anesthesia by perfusion with Formal saline. Dissection and histopathological processing of liver was done for the examination.

Results:

The histomorphometric observations of the liver in experimental rats revealed a significant increase in sinusoidal width indicative of sinusoidal dilatation and congestion. There was a significant increase in the size of hepatocytes while a decrease in the size of their nuclei was noted, suggestive of ballooning degeneration.

Conclusion:

The findings in the present study strongly suggest hepatocellular damage caused by ingestion of 4-MEI found in caramel color dyes used routinely in the food industry.
Attainment of Indian Medical Graduate (IMG) Roles Through the Curriculum
Authors: Gugapriya T. S. , Banarjee Sithikantha , Girish Meenakshi , Damke Sachin , Bhattad Shital
Published: September 2024

Background:

Graduate Medical Education Regulations 1997 and “Vision 2015” documents were the steps toward training a skilled and competent Indian Medical Graduate (IMG). To implement the changes in the curriculum and to achieve the IMG goal, a nation-wide faculty development program was started by the Medical Council of India in 2009. Even before the introduction of Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) in 2019, the Indian medical curriculum imbibed and trained the Graduates in competencies relevant for an IMG. This research was to attempt to understand the stakeholder perspective of the contribution of the curriculum in attaining the IMG roles prior to 2019.

Methodology:

The present multicentric study was carried out among 450 interns belonging to batch 2018 in the state of Maharashtra. A self-administrated, online, structured questionnaire containing 27 items based on IMG roles was used as the study instrument. Descriptive analysis was performed to arrive at the perception of stakeholders.

Results:

Analysis of self-rating of the competency for IMG roles showed a 30.7% for the “leader and as a team member role”. A detailed analysis noted that the majority of the participants lacked confidence in the role of the “medical expert.” Competency in the psychomotor domain gained maximum self-rating in comparison to the affective domain. The overall rating about their undergraduate training toward five IMG roles had an unsatisfactory score of 56.3% for the “lifelong learner” role.

Conclusion:

The study highlighted the stakeholder perspective about curriculum equipping them in developing “leader and a team member” while failing with “lifelong learner” IMG role. The study also emphasized that the attitudinal domain needs addressing by the CBME curriculum.

Doctrina de la fuerza mayor en el desarrollo del sistema eléctrico
Authors: Pablo Pérez Rodrigo José
Published: September 2024

Este artículo revisa los conflictos suscitados a partir de retrasos en el desarrollo de las obras nuevas del sistema eléctrico y, en particular, el argumento de la fuerza mayor. Así, se exponen los criterios utilizados por el Ministerio de Energía para calificar la fuerza mayor y destaca cómo este ha buscado liberarse de categorías jurídicas abstractas, optando por una conceptualización concreta de las causales invocadas. Esta posición se evalúa positivamente y se hace un llamado a buscar la justicia en la aplicación concreta de la ley, antes que en categorías abstractas. Con todo, se destaca que esta aproximación demanda una nueva forma de educación legal.

Line game-perfect graphs
Authors: Andres Stephan Dominique , Fong Wai Lam
Published: September 2024

The $[X,Y]$-edge colouring game is played with a set of $k$ colours on a
graph $G$ with initially uncoloured edges by two players, Alice (A) and Bob
(B). The players move alternately. Player $X\in\{A,B\}$ has the first move.
$Y\in\{A,B,-\}$. If $Y\in\{A,B\}$, then only player $Y$ may skip any move,
otherwise skipping is not allowed for any player. A move consists of colouring
an uncoloured edge with one of the $k$ colours such that adjacent edges have
distinct colours. When no more moves are possible, the game ends. If every edge
is coloured in the end, Alice wins; otherwise, Bob wins.
The $[X,Y]$-game chromatic index $\chi_{[X,Y]}'(G)$ is the smallest
nonnegative integer $k$ such that Alice has a winning strategy for the
$[X,Y]$-edge colouring game played on $G$ with $k$ colours. The graph $G$ is
called line $[X,Y]$-perfect if, for any edge-induced subgraph $H$ of $G$,
\[\chi_{[X,Y]}'(H)=\omega(L(H)),\] where $\omega(L(H))$ denotes the clique
number of the line graph of $H$.
For each of the six possibilities $(X,Y)\in\{A,B\}\times\{A,B,-\}$, we
characterise line $[X,Y]$-perfect graphs by forbidden (edge-induced) subgraphs
and by explicit structural descriptions, respectively.

Authors: Khanam Rahima , Akter Mosammet Khaleda , Rehana Jinnat , Khatun Fahima
Published: September 2024

Background: Depression among informal caregivers of cancer patients is the most common and serious medical illness around the world. Caregivers of cancer patients are at greater risk of developing depression than the general population. Informal caregivers’ depression is a global concern that must be addressed early to prevent or decrease its detrimental consequences. Objective: The study aims to assess depression among informal caregivers of patients with cancer at a selected hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 112 informal caregivers of patients with cancer who were selected from the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH) by using a convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by using self-administered questionnaires from February to March 2023. After data collection, it was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study result revealed that most (91.1%) of the informal caregivers experienced depression. Caregivers’ gender, level of education, occupation, monthly income, place of residence, duration of caregiving, per day caregiving duration, number of children, relationship with the patient, patients’ duration of illness, duration of taking treatment and the patient’s hospital admission number were found a significant association with informal caregivers’ depression. Conclusion: This study finding will improve the quality of life and reduce the depression of caregivers of cancer patients by providing awareness through health campaigns. It is also important for treatment adherence, decreased hospitalization, reduced burden and treatment cost of caregivers.
Teaching as a dance with and towards dignity: Recognizing dignity in educational relationships
Authors: Bahizi Lia
Published: September 2024

In educational research there is a plethora of propositions on different ways to address the problem of too narrow and merely/mainly extrinsic and future-oriented aims of education such as the one of producing citizens who can contribute to national competitiveness in a global capitalist market system. Several approaches counterbalance such narrow aims by offering more holistic aims such as cosmopolitan, democratic citizenship, flourishing and liberation. However, in addition to broadening the range of possible aims of education, there is also a need to address the underlying ethical and relational problem of how aims in themselves, even though holistic, still always run the risk of becoming stagnant and reified. In this paper, I argue together with Gert Biesta and Sharon Todd that the unavoidable fact of educational aims involving the risk of becoming stagnant can have detrimental effects on relationships in classrooms. However, I re-frame the problem from an ethical viewpoint. I propose dignity-awareness as a practice of ethical relational attunement to educational aims where these are left open for renewal and dynamic co-existence, not merely through a process of strenuous self-reflection and pedagogic dialogue, but through artfulness and playfulness. I suggest dance as a metaphor for an ethical awareness/interaction in which the relative importance of educational aims is acknowledged and appreciated.
Rethinking education: Bildung, civil society and the search for solidarity
Authors: Murphy Mark
Published: September 2024

The focus of the paper is on the relation between education and solidarity and the possible futures that this might entail. A concern over solidarity has been a constant in different forms over the history of western education systems - these forms have encompassed a focus on socialisation and cultural reproduction, a desire to alleviate moral decay, through to a more recent sense that education should do more to tackle social division, the rise of demagoguery and post-truth agendas. A long and steady relationship has been established between solidarity and education, but it has suffered in the glare of other, possibly more pressing, imperatives such as concerns over social justice.

This paper offers a ‘rethinking’ of the solidaristic nature of education and in particular the extent to which educational institutions can provide suitable grounds for ‘learning solidarity’. To expand on this topic, I draw on a number of intellectual resources, including the work of Hegel (bildung, socialised conceptions of freedom), and the 20th century debate between Richard Rorty and Nancy Fraser over the possibilities of creating and maintaining solidarity in an increasingly fragmented world. I suggest that a rethinking of educational aims along solidaristic grounds requires greater emphasis on both schools and civil society as sites of learning solidarity and a revitalised bildung. I conclude that any such project should also take into account the possible dangers of this approach, including an over-reliance on ‘statism’ as well as contributing further to processes of educationalization.
A moral community of a realm of ends: Its (im)possibility in education?
Authors: Roth Klas
Published: September 2024

When education only is affected by the instrumental principle and its substantiation vis-à-vis specific normative requirements as narratives, practices and traditions of certain kinds, education merely promotes and preserves such normative requirements rather than altering them. I therefore argue that education should not only be affected by the instrumental principle and its substantiation through certain narratives etc. Education should also embrace the value of moving beyond these so that new ways of thinking can be made possible. This it can do when it engages in the creation of a moral community of a realm of ends. However, even though such a creation is possible in principle, it is not necessarily the case that each and every one will engage in making such a moral community possible or that each and every one will be successful in such a pursuit. It is, nonetheless, a worthy quest, and when people engage in creating such a moral community, they strive to set and pursue morally permissible ends in systematic connection, rather than merely external ends valued in specific circumstances. By doing so, they respect each other as ends-in-themselves rather than as means to some further end, or so I argue.

Authors: Meraj Meraj , M.I Abdul Rehman , Khan Naseem Ahmad , Husain Sadique , Khan Noushiba
Published: September 2024

Knee osteoarthritis (Knee OA) is the most common Musculoskeletal disorder, which causes functional disability thus, increasing the economic burden in society. In Unani medicine knee Osteoarthritis is treated with various regimens and drugs. Among these regimens, Dimād (Poultice) is prepared with several single Unani pharmacopeial drugs that exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-arthritic actions. Keeping this in mind a case study was conducted to assess the efficacy of Dimād-i-jalinus a pharmacopeial Unani formulation in the management of Knee OA. A 63-year-old female patient with chief complaints of pain and swelling in the left knee joint, joint stiffness and mild tenderness feeling severe pain while performing daily activity for the last 6 months was treated at OPD of Hakim Syed Ziaul Hasan Govt. (Auto) Unani Medical College & Hospital, Bhopal. Dimād-i-jalinus was given to the patient, in paste form and the patient was explained to use this paste over the anterior surface of the Left knee joint and the bandage was wrapped to keep the medicines in place overnight every day for 14 days. The patient was assessed at baseline, 7th day and 14th day based on changes in subjective and objective parameters with the help of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The present study reveals that Dimād-i-jalinus is safe and effective in treating Knee OA without any side effects. Therefore, further randomized clinical studies need to be carried out to validate the effectiveness of Dimād-i-jalinus in the management of Knee OA.
Role of Sotagliflozin in Managing Heart Failure in Diabetes
Authors: Kavadi Ramesh Vineesha
Published: September 2024

A chronic illness that impairs heart function is heart failure. This malfunction can put strain on other organs and be especially dangerous for those who have long-term conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop heart failure. Sotagliflozin is an oral medication used to treat diabetes. A dual sodium drug called sotagliflozin shows promise in the treatment of heart failure. An essential new family of medications for the treatment of diabetes is the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. The goal of developing SGLT2 inhibitors has been to achieve high SGLT2 protein selectivity compared to SGLT1 protein. Treating diabetes with a single drug that combines the inhibition of SGLT1 and SGLT2 would offer complementing insulin-independent strategies. Thus, sotagliflozin (LX4211) was created as a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor. Large postprandial glucose decrease, increase of glucagon-like peptide 1, and mild urine glucose excretion are the distinguishing clinical aspects of dual inhibitor of SGLT1 and SGLT2. These characteristics might have an impact on how sotagliflozin is used clinically to treat diabetes.

İslâm hukukunda kocanın kadını boşaması anlamına gelen talak, şarta bağlı olup olmamasına göre üç kısma ayrılır. Bunlar; müneccez talak, muallak talak (şarta bağlı) ve muzaf talaktır. Çalışmamızda Osmanlı uygulamasında şarta bağlı talak uygulaması incelenmiştir. Osmanlı uygulamasını ortaya koyabilmek adına İstanbul Kadı sicilleri, Konya Kadı sicilleri ve Diyarbakır Kadı sicilleri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca dört sakk kitabında şartlı talakla alakalı olan kayıtlar da incelenmiştir. Gerek mahkeme kayıtları gerek de sakk kitaplarında yer alan kayıtlarda şarta bağlı talakla alakalı çok sayıda örneğe ulaşılmıştır. Bu sayede İslâm hukukunda cari olan bir kuralın uygulamada ne şekilde zuhur ettiği, bu kuralın faydalı ve zararlı yönlerinin olup olmadığı hususunda inceleme yapılmıştır. Sicil ve sakk kitaplarında; bir daha şarap içmemek, bir daha kumar oynamamak gibi İslâm dininde haram olan bazı fiilleri bir daha yapmamak, kocanın bir yere girmemesi, bir şeyi almaması, kadının bir yere gitmemesi, bir şey yapmaması, kocanın, karısı üzerine evlenmemesi, nafaka bırakmadan gitmemesi, uzak bir yere gidip uzun süre geri gelmemesi, karısını belirli bir köyden, şehirden çıkarıp başka yere götürmemesi gibi birçok şartın şartlı talak olarak uygulamada yer alması ilgili konunun pratiğini göstermesi açısından önem arz etmektedir.

Water is not only used for basic life needs such as drinking, bathing, cooking, and washing but also for irrigation and other needs, as it is a source of life. In Javanese society, there are many myths related to water, one of which is the myth of Tuk Bima Lukar, the spring source of the Serayu River. This oral literature myth can be analyzed to gain a deeper interpretation of its contents. Therefore, a multidisciplinary literary approach is needed for a more in-depth discussion. This research employs a hydromythological literary approach. The research reveals that Tuk Bima Lukar is considered holy water, believed to bring eternal youth and blessings to those who use it. Beyond the belief that the water from Tuk Bima Lukar can keep one young, it is also believed to bring its own blessings. This aligns with the concept of hydromythology, which assumes that water is a source of life, implying that the water from Tuk Bima Lukar brings blessings because it provides a source of life to the creatures around it.
